Chapter 1136: Ask for Advice?
In fact, most people in the circle have no respect for movies...
It’s more about the added value behind it.
That’s why so many people are competing for high-quality projects!
For art?
Well, there are indeed people who do it for art, but more of them want to get something...
Support within the circle, recognition from outside the circle, or commercial value...
This is true for all four ice sessions!
Because they are all artists who are positioned as stars.
Taking the celebrity route, people are dramatists before movies, so we see Sidan Shuangbing occupying high-quality resources, and they urgently need works to stand out and prove their abilities...
Of course, most of them are capable, but they don't want to hide behind their works and use their works to establish their status.
Therefore, the film circle is also called Vanity Fair!
This is understandable. Shen Xudong himself is also this kind of person...
He is now making movies more of a hobby, and he also regards making movies as a...symbol of rights.
What matters is also the many added values besides the movie, not the movie itself...
But Shen Xudong always feels that Dapeng's aesthetics are vulgar...
But "Keep You Safe" is really good. The story itself is vulgar and terrible. It has two parallel lines: one is about the network environment and the other is about school violence. After all, the main core is the same. Doing things too hard will not end well, but there will be people. Take this seriously.
The rhythm of the narrative is really good, with a mixture of urgency and urgency. It tells a simple plot very vividly, and it feels a bit like the storytellers of the past...
From the beginning to the end, there is basically no plot that is superfluous. Although the laughs are not that dense, they are not embarrassing, and it combines a lot of styles.
It's more like a road movie. The hero is always on the road, constantly meeting all kinds of people, and each has his own story.
The climax of the plot is solved using a very clever metaphysical method - after all, there is no solution to cyber violence except metaphysics!
Except for the male protagonist Dapeng...
Dapeng's image outside of movies is annoying. If Shen Teng were to play this role, the box office of "Keep You Safe" would have started at least 2 billion!
Hmm... You can give it to Yan Fei and Peng Damo for this project!
Well, Shen Xudong didn't meet Dapeng after all. He wouldn't give face to anyone he didn't want to meet...
…
Shen Haobo actually doesn’t really want to make theatrical movies.
Motie Film and Television has the IP of Tianxiaba Sing in its hands, and has created "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Strange Story of Makino" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Huangpizi Grave"...
All broadcast exclusively on PPTV.
The reputation is not good, but at least it passes...
The main actors are actors from the PPTV Ghost Blowing Lamp series web drama, which can be continued...
Some time ago, I created three online movies of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which were quite profitable. Basically, each one could get about 30 million yuan in revenue. The cost was controlled below 20 million yuan, so it was still profitable!
The Internet University must use new people, and the saved salary will be used for production...
It can bring in profits of about 50 million to 80 million yuan every year!
Very good.
It is already very difficult for most domestic film and television companies to maintain profitability...
Shen Haobo originally thought that such a small fight would be fine, but the sharpening iron was about to go on the market...
To be listed, you must have performance!
Performance is something that needs to be big.
He just happened to have a lot of IP in his hands, and even got Keigo Higashino's "Corridor Pavilion", but... Li Ning of Xinli told him, "If you want to make a movie, just make "The Legend of Monkey King"!" ’
By the way, I said, 'The movies with the theme of "Journey to the West" have performed well in the market in recent years, and "The Legend of Wukong" is another big IP...'
Shen Haobo also thought it was reliable!
In the past few years, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "The Return of the Monkey King", and "The Monkey King Makes the Sky", regardless of word-of-mouth, have not been bad at the box office.
"The Legend of Wukong" is naturally not bad either...
Professionals were hired to control the overall situation, and after retreating, they were just investors, investing about 80 million, accounting for 60% of the investment...
With such a large sum of money, Shen Haobo was a little frightened, so he went to Shen Xudong and told him about it.
Shen Xudong asked directly: "Why don't you come to me if you want to make a movie?"
“…The secondary market wants to see our performance after we leave Tianmei…”
"Are you crazy? I have a stake in Grinding Iron, why should I leave?"
"... Mainly, our company has a complete series of Journey to the West movie plans... but we may not have the energy to make "The Legend of Wukong"..."
This is true, "The Return of the Great Sage" and "The Great Sage Havoc in Heaven" were followed by "Three Strikes of Bone Demons" and "Three Borrows of the Banana Fan"...
Because both of them have adaptation value, "Three Strikes of Bone Demons" was adapted according to Zheng Baorui's version...
This movie is very interesting. It changes the image of Tang Seng - in all the original works or adaptations of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong is the undoubted and absolute protagonist. This makes Tang Seng often stand in a very annoying position, especially the "three In the chapter "Fighting the Skeleton Demon", Tang Seng's qualities such as being indifferent between right and wrong, ignorant, soft-hearted, jealous of talents, using chicken feathers as arrows, etc. are greatly released, making us want to rush into the original work and slap Tang Seng all the time: Damn it, you don't know right from wrong, you bully my great sage, you can lead the dog quickly.
"Three Beats of the White Bone Demon" asks Tang Seng to sacrifice his life for justice. In order to resolve the hatred of the White Bone Lady, Tang Seng said: "Little monk, I have thought about it. If I don't use it in this life, I will live it." If there is no need for ten lives, I will live ten lives!
I guess this is also the reason why Gong Li is willing to star...
As for "Three Borrowed Banana Fans", add anti-black elements!
Many people think that in "Journey to the West", the behavior of Sun Wukong and his gang in "Journey to the West" is disgusting - bullying the brother's big breasts and mistress, destroying the brother's house, deceiving the brother's relationship, killing the brother's mistress, pretending to be a brother and having an affair with his sister-in-law, and finally leading A group of civil servants and special police officers came to beat Big Brother, and finally got Big Brother in. At the same time, they confiscated Big Brother's Maybach, which was amphibious, land-based and amphibious...
However, after a little analysis, the 800-mile Flame Mountain Zone is a perfect example of the collusion between the evil forces and the protective umbrella!
Sun Wukong is a hero fighting against evil.
How to do it specifically, we have to wait for the script...
Bringing it back, what Shen Haobo was thinking was that Tianmei already had its own Journey to the West series, so if "The Legend of Wukong"... was given to them, they might not be interested in it!
Shen Haobo continued: "Xinli is very sincere. They provided all the funds for the early development... and found many capable filmmakers!"
"Who is the director?"
"Guo Zijian...the director of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"..."
"I know who he is." Shen Xudong waved his hand: "So, what's your problem now?"
Kwok Chi-kin is considered a highly anticipated young director in the Hong Kong film industry. In 2007, he was nominated for an Academy Award for New Director for "Wild Dogs". In 2010, he was nominated for Best Director for "The Ring" and then co-directed with Stephen Chow. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"...
After that came "The Legend of Wukong", with the Queen of England, directed "The Antique Game", and a new film "The Spread of Anger"...
Shen Haobo explained: "I want you to judge the box office of "The Legend of Wukong"..."
"I haven't seen the movie, how can I judge?"
After doing some calculations, there should be less than 100,000 words left, and the book will be finished next month...
The new book is being prepared...don't rush...
