Chapter 170 New Ideas (24)

In the dormitory, Shen Xudong took out three invitations and handed them to the third brother: "These are the movie tickets for "Mobile Phone"..."

Zhao Linhai took it over excitedly: "Where did you get it?"

"Given by Teacher Xu Fan..."

"...Xu Fan? Have you seen her?"

"Of course...she heard that we wanted to go to the movies, so she gave us some movie tickets..."

"Why not the premiere?"

“…The premiere is mainly for promotion, and it’s not interesting if you can’t watch the movie!”

Zhao Xin also took the movie ticket and nodded: "Indeed, the premiere has now become a way of publicity!"

Liao Gaoxiang was very straightforward: "Okay now, if you want to watch a movie in the future, just go to Lao Si to get the tickets!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "That's impossible. If you get someone's vote, you have to say good things. We are all film critics!"

The four of them are of course considered film critics. "BJ Youth" has added a new column called "Talk about Movies", which is specially reserved for them to write film reviews...

It's just that there aren't any movies worth mentioning released this year, and Shen Xudong hasn't written any, but the three of them have written a lot, and they just treat it as earning royalties!

"You have to say good things to someone just to get a movie ticket? That's too cheap..."

While chatting, I got into Shen Xudong’s Accord...

"Fourth Brother, are you going to sell this car too?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "...Well, I'm going to change to an A4..."

"Tsk, tsk, I need to change my car every year..."

"You've made money, what's wrong with changing to a car? It's not like changing a woman. Besides, buying a car can also boost GDP growth!" After saying that, Zhao Linhai looked at Shen Xudong and said eagerly: "Sell it to me... I just want to buy one. !”

"...Okay, you can open it first, and then you can give it to me when you have money!"

"atmosphere!"

Zhao Xin gave a thumbs up and then asked: "Will you go back to your hometown during the winter vacation this year?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while and replied: "...It's probably a bit difficult. "Sword and Fairy" is preparing to form a team. I'm also one of the planners, so I might want to help..."

Zhao Xin immediately asked: "Who is Lin Yueru going to cast?"

Zhao Xin is a die-hard fan of "Sword and Fairy", and Shen Xudong did not hide it, revealing: "I heard that I am contacting Shu Chang..."

"Shu Chang...she seems to be filming "Lotus Lantern"...she shouldn't have time to film "Sword of Immortality", right?"

"Really?"

"Is there no alternative?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Then I don't know. I didn't participate much in the casting..."

…

The casting selection for "Sword and Fairy" was very complicated. At the beginning, we followed the normal TV drama creation route and found famous actors to play the leading roles...

Moreover, at this time, Tang Ren attached great importance to the Taiwan market, so his first choice was Taiwan's popular idol.

For example, Zhou Yimin!

However, the price quoted by these idols is too high - 100,000 yuan per episode.

It's very reasonable. An episode of their idol drama in Taiwan costs NT$250,000, which is about RMB 57,000...

When you get to the mainland, prices will definitely increase.

Mainly because the mainland crew took three months to shoot, which delayed them from making money!

It makes sense. After F4 formed an army, in just two years from 2002 to 2003, they held 19 world tour concerts, with an average audience of more than 30,000 people per concert.

It was the first time they released an album in Japan, which immediately topped the charts and broke records. It can be said that it became a huge hit both at home and abroad.

It can be said that time is very precious to them - every minute can be converted into money.

The total cost of "Sword of Sword" was only 18 million - Gao Fenfen added an additional 2 million, making it 20 million, and several million more were reserved for special effects...

How can you afford big stars?

Therefore, Cai Yinong proposed to use new actors. Of course, her reason was that ""Sword" itself is a work for young audiences, and the actors cannot be over 25 years old..."

Although Shen Xudong is not very concerned, he also knows that Liu Pinyan and An Yixuan have entered the casting spotlight...

Tang Ren has a close relationship with Sanli TV. "West Street Boy" is produced by Sanli TV and Tang Ren is responsible for the production. Liu Pinyan was selected by Sanli to star in "West Street Boy"...

As for An Yixuan, he has a background, and of course, he is also popular.

Even though she is not well-known in the mainland, Shen Xudong is too lazy to popularize her...

After driving for half an hour, we arrived at Haidian Theater...

It’s not a premiere~

The premiere was not interesting, there was no movie shown at all...

Today is the 23rd. "Mobile Phone" premiered in BJ on the 16th, went to Shanghai on the 18th, arrived in Chengdu on the 20th, and Shenzhen and Chongqing on the 21st...

Back to BJ on the 23rd…

It’s also a road show!

…

The story of "Mobile Phone" is actually quite old-fashioned. It is an ethical film about marriage and love relationships using mobile phone communication...

It's just that successful men can't control their lower bodies...

But this movie made people feel uncomfortable. It felt like none of the characters in the movie were lovable, and it was difficult for most people to even discover the motivations for becoming unlovable.

This is troublesome. The reason why co-authors become like that is neither due to moral decay nor distortion of human nature. The problem lies at the root, the bad nature of human beings...

Moreover, in the movie, Yan Shouyi is not a negative character. He takes care of his relatives in his hometown, is very filial to his grandmother, takes great care of his ex-wife, and even endures the pain of being unable to see his son whom he wants to see;

The same is true for Fei Mo. Although his wife finally found out about his affair with the female student, he always defended himself, saying that he originally wanted to open a room, but after a difficult ideological struggle, he finally stopped with the female student. "Talk and discuss the truth", so in fact, he was wrongly accused...

Very uncute!

No wonder Xiao Cui was furious...

At the end of the movie, Yan Shouyi failed to catch up with his grandma for the last time and even burned his cell phone at her grandma's funeral. It seemed that he was regretting that he had forgotten his original intention...

There is an Easter egg at the end. The new mobile phone brought by the niece captured Yan Shouyi's horrified expression, and the movie freezes...

It’s very much like criticizing the alienation of people by technology!

After watching the movie, the lights came on and the credits rolled on the screen. Shen Xudong and his four brothers discussed the plot.

Zhao Linhai hit the nail on the head: "It's not interesting..."

"...I don't think it's interesting either. It feels similar to "A Sigh", but with an extra mobile phone as a tool!"

"...Why does Feng Xiaogang always take pictures of these things? Do all the men he knows have mistresses?"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "I didn't know..."

He stood up and was about to leave, and then a person who looked like a host walked in: "Don't leave yet, everyone. Director Feng, Teacher Ge You, Teacher Zhang Guoli, and Fan Bingbing will be here soon..."

Then, a group of people sat down and looked towards the entrance of the cinema...

Sure enough, the main creative lineup of "Mobile Phone" came in...

Seeing Feng Xiaogang greeting the audience with a smile on his face, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something in his memory - Feng Xiaogang criticized the road show for wasting people and wasting money...

Let’s see what he is doing now? I think it's quite interesting...

…

"I think it's quite interesting..."

"good…"

As for the road show, of course there was a question and answer session from the audience, and most of them gave positive reviews...

When he arrived at Shen Xudong, he stood up and said: "I think the first half is very good, neither rushed nor slow. Both the rhythm and the actors' performances are excellent, but the second half is a bit rushed... there is a bit too much content..."

“…how about the movie?”

"Of course it's very good, very realistic...and it has a sense of horror, which is very rare!"

Feng Xiaogang smiled: "A sense of horror? Do you have such a sense of horror?"

"I'm thinking that if the theme of this movie is not ethics, but murder, then the contents of the phone will become evidence in court!"

Zhang Guoli nodded: "...This is a good idea. You can write a book based on this approach!"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, writing like this will easily step on the red line..."

Hearing Shen Xudong's words, Feng Xiaogang became a little angry: "At your age, why are you thinking about this? Just feel free to write..."

Feng Xiaogang's attitude made the audience feel inexplicable...

"Haha..." Zhang Guoli suddenly smiled: "Oh, let me introduce to you, this is Shen Xudong, the author and screenwriter of the next two films, "The Lost Orphan" and "A Dream of a Day Trip"!"
