Chapter 182 A Little Proud (24)

Therefore, there are still big brands and small brands...

Wang Tianlin, Wang Jing’s father once said: As a director, you must make the big stars feel happy...

This means that you must have a good relationship with big stars.

Of course, the background of what he said was that the internal factions of TVB were complicated, involving celebrities taking sides and so on...

But it still makes sense. After all, TV stations largely consider the popularity of the actors when buying dramas. Those with high popularity are good at selling dramas!

In the era of market economy, when a TV series is produced, the important thing is not to win awards, but to sell it.

Therefore, it is normal for "Sword and Fairy" to consider Zhou Yimin and Sun Xiezhi. After all, the former has "Meteor Garden" and the latter has "MVP Lover", and they are both popular idols...

Of course, the latter was only very popular in Wanwan. Sun Xiezhi later came to the mainland to develop for a while, and also filmed "Devil Sword Chess"...

Why isn't it red?

Probably because Fahrenheit came out, everyone's aesthetics became normal...

…

There are four short stories in "Collected Relics", "Sword Rain", "Sui Hou Zhu", "Lost Orphan", "Aviator"...

All suitable for film adaptation.

According to Shen Xudong's expectations, since "The Lost Orphan" has been signed by Feng Xiaogang, he should also be interested in "The Aviator"...

"The Aviator" is a story about dreams.

In the 1980s, Li Mingqi worked in a military factory. His dream was to build an aircraft.

At that time, he was full of passion and determination for his dream. This determination impressed his father-in-law Gao Likuan and his wife's brother Gao Xuguang. They always believed that Li Mingqi was not a thing in the pool and supported Li Mingqi's dream.

But this is not a story with a happy ending...

The reality is always cold. Old industrial cities with backward technology, declining industries with no one to support innovation, and poor life all make Li Mingqi's dreams shattered time and time again.

At the end of the story, Li Mingqi disappeared into the sky in his homemade airplane...

Li Mingqi has been suffering from the disillusionment of his dreams all his life. Although fate did not give him a chance to succeed, it could not erase his ideal enthusiasm.

Li Mingqi, who rode the wind away, left only one sentence: If you want to be Napoleon, even if you end up being imprisoned on an island, you will still have something to say in this life. Even if you can't be Napoleon, you still have to be Columbus and keep moving forward. To be a human being, you have to swim upstream. If you go downstream, you will only find the garbage dump.

What an interesting piece…

It's a pity that Zhang Guoli is not interested...

As for Feng Xiaogang, he probably hasn’t read this novel, and even if he has, he probably won’t have any feelings about it—such romantic stories about low-level people are not in line with their feelings!

Anyway, Shen Xudong could not imagine that any director would be interested in "The Aviator".

Amou?

I'm busy filming a blockbuster - "House of Flying Daggers"!

A little master of poetry?

I should be thinking about "The Promise"...

For the other two articles, "Sword Rain" and "Sui Houzhu", I never thought that mainland filmmakers would buy the adaptation rights...

At this time, although martial arts blockbusters are mainstream movies - on the one hand, there is a market, not only domestic theaters support it, but also overseas distribution companies want it;

But there are still only a few who are qualified to direct, and these directors often use the martial arts matrix to tell their own stories...

They look down on juniors like Shen Xudong...

Not urgent…

…

Shen Xudong bought a new mobile phone for his parents when he returned to his hometown this time...

Sony Ericsson T618, plus 8200...

After returning home, as expected, she was scolded by her mother for "spending money indiscriminately", but she still happily spent it...

"I heard your dad said you bought another house?"

"Well... Wanquan Xinxin Home, 236 square meters..."

"How old?"

"236 square meters..."

"Why did you buy such a big house?"

"...Invest!"

“Buying a house for investment?”

"You can't buy gold, right?" Shen Xudong spread his hands: "How about you think of a safer way for me?"

My mother was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You don't know how to save money in a bank!"

"Why is the bank's interest rate enough? Dad, talk to Mom!"

Just when Shen Mingguang came over, Shen Xudong hurriedly called him for help, and Shen Mingguang said: "Anyway, buying a house is unlikely to depreciate, so it's better than using the money to gamble or go whoring, right?"

"What are you talking about? This is my son!"

"Yeah…"

Shen Mingguang sat down and asked about his son's career, such as working with Feng Xiaogang.

Shen Xudong explained: "We haven't filmed it yet... Besides, I'm just a screenwriter, so there's no cooperation..."

"Why can't we talk about it? If there is no screenwriter to write a movie, what will he make?"

Mom also chimed in: "...that's right, I watched "The Lost Orphan" and it was really well written..."

"The subject matter is well chosen. Any writing on this kind of subject matter would not be too bad!"

"But with so many masterpieces priced, only my son cares about this field!"

Shen Xudong was delighted: "No, there are quite a lot of famous Chinese writers..."

"... there are a bunch of famous writers in Harvest magazine, writing about everything..."

Well, what my mother said makes sense. Many writers who write pure literature don't know what they think. It's really Han Han's "The literary world is shit, no one should pretend to be awesome". You must think about it from time to time. I want to add something to attract attention. I need Brother Wen to get some stuff. ’

This type of article usually gets a bunch of likes from reviewers...

Damn it, they are all human, they are all on the fringes of society, they all have disordered personalities, they care about human beings, they are awesome!

Anyway, before I went to high school, my dad locked up "The Harvest" and wouldn't let me watch it...

"I'm not from the literary world...I write these just for sales. Of course, the more the public cares about things, I will definitely write..."

Shen Mingguang interrupted the topic: "...Okay, you can go to bed first and accompany me to the countryside tomorrow. Your grandma will miss you so much!"

"Well...I'll wash it first..."

Shen Xudong stood up and suddenly remembered something: "Dad, I have 400,000 in my bag, let me change a car for you!"

"No, I want to change my car and buy it myself..."

"I made money, what's wrong with changing a car for you?"

"What should I change for?" Mom interrupted: "Why, do you think your dad's Santana is uncomfortable to sit on? It's not worthy of your noble ass!"

"...Anyway, I took out 400,000, and you look at the flowers..."

In the quarrel, Shen Xudong was definitely no match for his mother, so he simply put down a sentence, went to the room, took out his bag, and poured out four piles of money: "Put this away!"

Turned around and went back to his room.

Mom watched Shen Mingguang put away the money and asked doubtfully: "...You're not really going to change your car, are you?"

"I go to the construction site every day, and I can't stand any car... Let's see, I'll go find XX tomorrow. He knows a lot about BMW... buy a BMW..."

"Are you crazy? What kind of BMW should you buy?"

"You're a filial son, why don't you accept it? Besides, doesn't that guy in your school drive a BMW every day? You've said it so many times. When I get the new car, I'll drive it to take you to school every day!"

"...Don't want it anymore, save it for him!"

"You don't know, our son may have made money..."
