Chapter 199 Coming to the Door (Part 1) (34)
Shen Xudong's advice to Cai Yinong was actually Lu Jianming's strategy for getting rich in the Spring and Autumn Period and Fujian Hengye...
It’s just that there is less buying and selling of copyrights to banned films.
Lu Jianming initially specialized in audio and video copyrights. His first purchase was the copyright of "Popeye". He bought it for 1 million and sold it for 1.3 million...
Later, I focused on buying banned films...
Li Yang's "The Blind Shaft", Li Yu's "Fish and Elephant", Zhang Ming's "Wushan Yunyu", Lu Xuechang's "Grown Up", etc., he bought the audio and video copyrights...
Then sell it!
After the advent of the Internet era, it was difficult to sell audio and video copyrights, so he began to make low-cost horror films.
To say that the low cost is an overestimation is to say that it is actually a digital movie, with a maximum cost of 500,000 yuan. If sold to movie channels and the income from rural theaters, each movie can earn more than 300,000 yuan!
Hengye is more direct. They only specialize in the distribution and screening of low-priced small films in the secondary and tertiary markets.
The small films here refer to low-cost horror films, and most of them are of the soft-color type.
Later, a major theater chain took the initiative to contact...
Do you think this is shameful?
In fact, compared with the new business strategy of Phil Curtain Company, Fujian Hengye including Spring and Autumn Period can be called the light of the right path!
Phil Film Company also specializes in horror films, but their strategy is to follow suit and copycat!
Continue to make horror films produced by other companies...
"There's Someone Under the Bed 2", "There's Someone Under the Bed 3", "There's a Face on the Pillow 2", "Horror Cinema 2", "Horror Graduation Photo 2"...
These second and third sequels of domestic horror films that everyone is familiar with are all produced by Phil Mu.
Copycat!
Hollywood has a well-known horror film "Horror House of Waxwork", and Filmore's film titles mostly use the format of "horror + place name": "Horror Cinema", "Horror Barbershop", "Horror Swimming Pool"...
Not only Hollywood, but also domestic ones are no exception. When "Embroidered Shoes" became popular, Filmou made "The Thrilling Embroidered Shoes"; when "The Legend of the Fairy Tales" became popular, Filmou made "The Shadow of the Pen Fairy" and "The Crash of the Pen Fairy". "Die Xian"...
By the way, calling them Phil Film Company is actually a bit inappropriate. They should be called April Day Films - all of these movies are distributed by April Day Films...
However, it is difficult for Shen Xudong to imagine a domestic horror film produced by Tang Ren...
Do we also need to show close-ups of breasts and panties?
Wouldn't it be so low?
What if Sister Ruju has no breasts?
…
It was already April when I returned to Hengdian.
Shen Xudong has written the complete script framework of "Witness" and "The Tailor", and all that is left is to fill in the lines.
To be honest, "Witness" was very easy to write...
Relying on the narrative from different character perspectives, the story was successfully reversed three times.
And before the official start, the plot is quickly unfolded through the narration of news reports, telling the audience the identities of prosecutor Tong Tao, defender Zhou Li, wealthy man Lin Tai, suspect Lin Mengmeng and the development of the incident...
Then the trial began. Zhou Li expressed no objection to Tong Tao's cross-examination three times. All clues pointed to Lin Mengmeng as the murderer;
Then in the first reversal, Zhou Li made a fuss about the fourth witness, the driver, and successfully identified the driver as the murderer. The trial ended, and the perspective cut to prosecutor Tong Tao. Tong Tao went over the plot for the audience again, and quickly made It was judged that the driver was dying for someone else, and that he must be terminally ill or in debt. After a thorough investigation of the hospital and the black market, the driver was ruled out as a suspect, and the target was still locked on Lin Mengmeng.
The second reversal occurred when the video was passed from the mysterious man to prosecutor Tong Tao. The video clearly recorded Lin Tai's murder, not Lin Tai's daughter.
In the second trial, Lin Tai was angered by Tong Tao and admitted that he was the murderer of his girlfriend. At this point, the murderer was locked on Lin Tai.
The perspective cuts from prosecutor Tong Tao to defender Zhou Li. Zhou Li helps us review the plot again, adding three more plots: the driver's wife informs, the mysterious man sends the video, and Zhou Li transfers the video to Tong Tao, thus filling in the gaps. The pitfalls in the previous article have been eliminated, making the logic clear.
In the third reversal, which is from God's perspective, Zhou Li and Tong Tao discovered something was wrong one after another and went to Lin Tai's hometown of Su County to find the truth. The secrets of the Red Star Repair Shop and the Longbei Wall were discovered, thus revealing the truth. The daughter took the blame, set up this trap, and exchanged her own life for her daughter's freedom...
Therefore, I wrote in more detail and sent it directly to Director Chen. The latter expressed great interest, but also said: "The effort is a bit too big, and I can't take it back..."
"...Actually, Lin Tai was imprisoned not only because he wanted to take the blame for his daughter, but more importantly, Tong Tao and the people all hoped that he would be the murderer... And at the end, he added the sentence, 'The old Dragon King turned into Longbei Mountain after his death, and future generations will turn Longbei Mountain into a mountain'." It was changed to the Dragon Back Wall because this wall blocked all the crimes of the Little Dragon King.'…"
"It's not easy to pass the trial..."
Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "Will you give it to Boss Han and let him evaluate it?"
"...I'll find a few more friends and let's study together!"
"Um…"
Shen Xudong hung up the phone...
He was not worried at all that Director Chen would kick him away...
He has been in the film and television industry for so many years and has a good reputation, so it is impossible for him to do such a thing!
Then...Shen Xudong never expected that a bunch of people would contact him because of "Witness"...
…
In the room, Shen Xudong was sitting at the computer writing the script of "The Tailor", while Chen Hao was sitting next to him, flipping through the notebook of "The Beauty's Scheming".
Their postures were normal, except that she put her legs on Shen Xudong's lap...
She specially wore a white shirt, with two buttons opened at the collar, and her big white legs...
Shen Xudong is multitasking, occasionally touching, and most of the time he is immersed in plot editing...
"Hey, I heard Wu... they said that there was a script called "Witness by All" in the circle recently. It was very good. Was it you who wrote it?"
"...Mr. Wu is just Mr. Wu, I don't care..."
Shen Xudong expressed his attitude generously first: "Anyway, I am using everything in it!"
"...What's inside?"
Shen Xudong motioned for her to come closer. The senior sister didn't know why. After hearing his explanation, her face flushed and she punched him. After thinking about it carefully, she nodded seriously: "Indeed, you are the one using it!"
Back in Lanzhong, Shen Xudong didn't want to continue this topic for the time being, so he quickly asked: "...Does he also know about "Witness by All"?"
"Well, I heard from Wang Jinghua that Hua Yi is very interested..."
"Hua Yi?"
"Chen Daoming belongs to Wang Jinghua, and he still belongs to Huayi!"
"…oh."
Shen Xudong actually forgot about such a big thing...
"Is the script good?"
Shen Xudong thought about it, and then made a fair comment: "...It's so-so, but it has a lot of dramatic tension... Find a few good actors and choose a good schedule, and you may not be able to win more than 50 million at the box office!"
"real?"
"...The prerequisite is that it must be a big star. I think it must be a lineup of Andy Lau + Director Chen!"
"What about the director?"
"...The director doesn't matter, this script is easy to shoot, there are few scenes, and there is nothing to arrange...Have you read the script of "Witness"?"
"without…"
"Then take a look first!"
Shen Xudong directly held her in his arms and clicked on the "Witness" save file on his computer. When he clicked on it, there was a knock on the door...
"…who?"
