Chapter 152 Invitation From the Cast of "Sword of Immortality" (44)
The meaning is very simple, that is, let Cao Xiwen play the daughter of first love, that is, the 'female fan' who takes the initiative to sacrifice herself...
Starring opposite Director Chen is definitely an opportunity for Cao Xiwen!
From the perspective of popularity, this opportunity should be given to Li Xiaomeng, but who makes Cao Xiwen Shen Xudong's friend?
After the dinner was over, a group of people walked out of the hotel. Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "By the way...Mr. Chen, there is a drama version of this script..."
"Drama? How can there be a drama?"
"My teacher thought I wrote too many popular novels and the smell of copper was too strong. He assigned me a task and asked me to submit an original play at the end of the year. I thought about changing "Outstanding Citizen" into a play..."
"You mean to make it into a drama first?"
"Yes, we can use the drama to promote it..."
Cao Huayi interjected: "The drama... not many people watch it, but... it can still play a role in publicity..."
"Let me ask the theater people..."
"Then I'm sorry, Teacher Chen..."
…
Shen Xudong took a taxi back to school...
The filming of "The Desire of the Golden Branch" has started, and Senior Sister Chen Hao is busy filming, and there is no need for him to communicate about art for the time being.
I have all my skills and nowhere to show them!
Shen Xudong is not in a hurry, the script of "Outstanding Citizen" has not been finalized yet...
There was no mention of the script fee, but Shen Xudong knew very well that it would not exceed 200,000 at most!
In fact, the price of movie scripts is generally not higher than that of TV series...
This refers to a script written by the same screenwriter!
Mainly depends on the type, low-cost long-label movies: the main distribution direction of this kind of movies is CCTV Movie Channel, the investment is usually less than 2 million, and the normal script remuneration is between 50,000 and 80,000;
For theater movies, it usually costs more than 100,000... As for how high it is, it is related to the number of released works of the screenwriter himself.
"Outstanding Citizen" is a theatrical movie...
And it falls into the category of good scripts, but Shen Xudong has never written a movie script before, and "Outstanding Citizen" is his first...
So, the reward is very clear...
Since the remuneration for movie scripts is lower than that of TV series, why do many screenwriters take pride in writing movies?
Nonsense, movies belong to the art of light and shadow, TV series... don't count!
Even Shen Xudong knows that the status of film screenwriters in the industry is higher than that of TV drama screenwriters...
…
Go back to dorms…
The three of them were all here, and they were discussing things together, and they were very excited!
Seeing Shen Xudong, Zhao Linhai hurriedly asked: "Have you negotiated with Teacher Chen?"
"Well, he wants the script and has found investors."
All three of the three people knew about the message "Outstanding Citizen" wrote to Chen Daoming...
It's not something worth keeping secret, so Shen Xudong naturally didn't hide it.
Zhao Xin suddenly sighed with emotion: "You are really amazing now, it's Zheng Xiaolong, and it's Director Chen again!"
Shen Xudong took the cigarette from Zhao Linhai and lit it: "...Why do I sound a little sour?"
"...Is this still sour? You should really listen to what those people in our class say!"
"What did you say about me?"
"Say you're lucky... sell your ass!"
"I write scripts, not acting. What's the point of selling my ass?"
Liao Gaoxiang smiled: "So...don't talk to them, the fourth child relies on his talent!"
"I just want to learn something..." Zhao Xin asked: "When will the movie start shooting?"
"Not sure... I guess it will be soon..." Shen Xudong changed the subject: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Olympic baby!"
"You haven't finished choosing yet?"
Olympic baby is the Athens Olympic baby...
Amou is preparing to show a song and dance performance at the Athens Olympics, selecting a few Chinese girls to play the erhu and play "Jasmine"...
Those who are selected are called Olympic babies.
Many girls have signed up, including those from Chinese Opera, Beijing Opera, Beijing Film Academy, and Dance Academy...
“The selection started in September and it’s not over yet?”
"...That's almost it. I heard that Tang Yan, Shen Jiani, Ge Dan and Tian Ye from our school have all been selected!"
"Four? That's awesome!"
"Hmm...but Nortel selected 7!"
"I'm so stupid, do you look down on us being in the show?"
"...Maybe there are more beauties over there at Nortel?"
"I think it's mainly because Amou is from Nortel..."
Regarding the Olympic baby, Shen Xudong doesn't have much memory. He only knows that Ah Mou said two things he regretted most in an interview later: The first decision was that Lin Miaoke should not lip-sync with Lin Miaoke in the 2008 opening ceremony.
The second one was during the eight-minute BJ session at the Athens Olympics. The 14 girls should not have dressed like that. It seemed too frivolous and caused misunderstandings among foreigners...
Well, he is still very reserved. It doesn’t matter whether foreigners misunderstood him or not. What matters is the wild criticism from the domestic media...
Shen Xudong joined the discussion, but the chat only lasted less than five minutes. Then he turned on the computer and prepared to write a script...
The Olympic baby has nothing to do with him, and it's impossible for him to dress up as a woman...
Let’s finish the draft of “Outstanding Citizens” first.
…
Shanghai, Tang Ren Film and Television.
In fact, Tang Ren has developed well in the past two years. After the sales of "Beijing-Hong Kong Love Line" were not very good, he decided on a development route focusing on ancient costumes. "Zhiyi" sold very well...
Why make "Sword of Immortality"?
Like it...
Well, Li Guoli actually feels that the censorship of domestic film and television dramas is indeed stricter than that of Hong Kong, especially for modern dramas. Therefore, he feels that it is very difficult to find breakthrough themes in modern dramas.
I should still do costumes!
After filming "Book and Sword", he felt that martial arts was no longer interesting.
"Fairy Sword"...he found it interesting!
The entire framework is at a higher level than martial arts...
The story of the game version of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is relatively complete. If you want to adapt it, just copy the entire story and stay true to the story content of the game. It will not be difficult...
But he still followed Feng Baiyuan's wishes and met with a man named Shen Xudong.
After chatting with him for a while, I very much approved of his adaptation ideas!
Especially regarding the creation of the villain Bai Yue - there is no market for pure villains these days.
So we signed the contract and have been in contact ever since. Yesterday, Shen Xudong finally sent over the full version of the 32-episode script...
I stayed up all night watching it and was very satisfied.
Once you’re satisfied, of course you’ll consider casting!
Shen Xudong suggested, "Zhao Ling'er must find Liu Yifei." ’
In other respects, he did not say...
In terms of casting, Li Guoli still prefers actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, because with their participation, the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, including the Southeast Asian market, can be successfully developed...
Otherwise, it would be like "The Best in the World", the actors are all from the mainland, but so far, I heard that the Hong Kong and Taiwan copyrights have not been sold...
This is indeed closely related to Hong Kong and Taiwan actors...
Cai Yinong also read the script and was very satisfied. He asked him: "Director Li, who should Li Xiaoyao choose to play? Give me a range and I will invite..."
"...I don't have the scope, but you can ask our screenwriter. He must have an idea. The Zhao Ling'er he recommended is so suitable..."
