In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 1122 Thirty-Year-Old Woman

Fan Xiaopang was not the only one who was interested in "Story of Yanxi Palace". Tang Yan, Yang Xiaomi and Zhao Liying all called...

Today’s dinner party, tomorrow’s cocktail party, tomorrow’s golf party, it’s just so interesting to beat around the bush—if you don’t attend, you can still get some benefits for your actors…

However, Shen Xudong did not agree to any of them.

The main role must be closely related to the company's artists. Even if the heroine is given to an outsider, the outsider must be one of our own!

In the end, Wei Yingluo chose Song Zuer...

Then it was rejected by Shen Xudong - he didn't want "Story of Yanxi Palace" to be removed from the shelves.

I directly said it was inappropriate and then recommended Yang Zi...

Yang Zi’s acting skills are indeed good!

Qiu Yingying in "Ode to Joy" is difficult to play, because everything you perform is experienced by the audience every day, so it is easy for the audience to get distracted when watching urban dramas.

Because it’s familiar, you can tell it’s wrong at a glance.

Especially workplace dramas, so Xu Qin in "My World's Fireworks" was criticized in various ways...

In fact, the positioning of "My World's Fireworks" is wrong. It should not be related to career. It should be directly changed to a male porn story. Xu Qin's character design would be perfect: white, rich, easy to be satisfied, and obedient. For a man Willing to confront family members - When Song Yan wanted to report the Meng family, Xu Qin replied coldly: I don't care about the family business. It's none of your business, just hang it up high. Let Song Yan not have to bear the psychological pressure and retaliate however he wants.

Bai Fumei relies on the poor boy, and the poor boy relies on Bai Fumei to rise step by step and reach the pinnacle of life.

Well, actually we don’t need to criticize Xu Qin too much. This heroine is just a tool. She has no life of her own, no personality, or even any preferences. Everything is to serve the male protagonist...

This kind of plot was out of date 20 years ago - Qiong Yao was tired of writing it!

The heroine Du Xiaoshuang of "On the Water Side" is also an orphan. The Zhu family adopted her for a year. Zhu Shiyao, the eldest son of the Zhu family, liked her, so she also found a high-end version of "Song Yan" Lu Youwen.

Is this kind of suspended drama still considered a web drama?

There is no market!

Bring it back, but Qiu Yingying doesn't know how to do it at all. She is the kind of dumb young girl around you who has just graduated. She is cute in daily life but unreliable in business. She has her own logic, and her logic is not linked to the real society, so she is always out of tune...

But there's a problem - Yang Zi's face is too big, her costume doesn't look good, and it's not fresh enough!

Finally, after comprehensive consideration, I chose Mao Xiaotong...

Although Mao Xiaotong acted in Zhang Yi's movie, his popularity index is still weak. A palace fight drama will make up for it.

As for Yang Zi, the company has started filming "Dear, Beloved", and she is the heroine...

Elephant Mountain.

When Shen Xudong arrived at the set, the actors had not yet arrived.

It doesn't matter, "Total War" itself is a special effects blockbuster... You can first shoot the pure CG scenery of mountains, seas and valleys...

In fact, special effects films like "Total War" are best shot in Qingdao Film and Television City. The problem is that Xiangshan attaches great importance to "Total War" and the necessary props are directly flown over...

The peripheral work is done well!

Shen Xudong had nothing to say...

Oh, "The Wandering Earth" was filmed in Qingdao - the exterior scenes were also filmed at Qingdao Liuting Airport. Although Liuting Airport had ceased to be used at that time, other crew members were not able to enjoy this treatment... Obviously this has nothing to do with the QD Municipal Government Even the support of SD Province is inseparable.

Xiangshan cannot lag behind!

After Shen Xudong joined the team, he immediately joined the work.

Mainly the conceptual design of mountains and sea valleys - red and gold are the colors that can be used to express villages with Chinese cultural colors, and there are also temples...

The important thing is that the appearing mythical beasts must fit the description of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", but you can't be too ferocious. It's better to be ferocious and cute, so it's easier to sell peripherals...

This work is tedious, but also very important...

Liu Yifei only joined the crew at the end of March - I heard they have been filming "A Generation of Fairies"...

Shen Xudong was quite happy to see her.

We are old friends after all!

However, during this meeting, it was obvious that Liu Yifei exuded a mature flavor...

Unlike the little brat who drank Wahaha every day!

"Have you read the script?"

"Um…"

"Your character only has ten minutes of scenes, but if "Mountains and Seas" sells well, we are likely to develop a single-episode movie to tell your story..."

Liu Yifei nodded...

Oh, Shen Xudong specially invited her to dinner - they are old friends after all, and she accepted the role without discussing money. As soon as Shen Xudong called her, she came over!

Of course, most actors in the industry will drop everything and come over when they hear Shen Xudong's call!

This is the sequel to "Citizen's War", the first one had a global box office of US$620 million.

Among them, the North American box office is close to 130 million US dollars...

"...Is this movie still distributed by Warner Bros.?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "That's right..."

Liu Yifei: "That's good..."

"What? You still want to enter Hollywood?"

"is it not OK?"

"It makes no sense!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "Li Lianhua finished starring in "Transformers 4", but still couldn't get a role in Hollywood, so she tinkered with a "Mystery Nest" and became a dog..."

"I know..." Liu Yifei was unconvinced: "But she also has good roles."

"Zhang Ziyi starred in "Memoirs of a Geisha" and was almost nominated for an Oscar. Now... she has returned to China to develop, including Gong Li..."

"But they have succeeded before!"

"It's useless!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "Asian characters have no place at all in mainstream Hollywood movies and TV dramas."

"But your "Total War" was very successful..."

""Total War" is not a Hollywood movie...and the focus of "Total War" is to fight monsters...it has enough popcorn elements, combined with Warner's $60 million in promotion and marketing..."

Liu Yifei was a little unconvinced, but she couldn't defeat Shen Xudong... In the past two years, her career has been good, she joined PPTV, and starred in "The Last Day", "One Life to Live" and "Liu Li"...

It is not an exaggeration to say that he has returned to the peak of his career.

One of the two dramas made Li Xian popular, the other made Xiao Shunyao popular...

Then... I want to hit the film industry again. "A Generation of Monsters" is produced by Chen Guofu and produced by Kung Fu Pictures + Tencent Pictures. Maoyan is even a co-producer.

Liu Yifei could not find any reason to refuse such a project.

Liu Yifei thought of something and suddenly asked: "Why don't you go to Hollywood?"

"Why should I go to Hollywood?"

Shen Xudong was a little speechless: "It's not like I haven't been there before, but even Director Zhang doesn't go to Hollywood. Jackie Chan's career center has long returned to Chinese-language films. Why did I go..."

After thinking for a while, Shen Xudong added: "And Sino-US relations...you are also thirty, don't you pay attention to the international situation at all?"

Liu Yifei quickly interrupted: "I'm not thirty yet..."

"...The point is not whether you are thirty years old or not..." Shen Xudong looked at her face, his eyes were clear and stupid. He suddenly didn't want to talk anymore and changed the topic: "Have you ever considered transitioning?"
