Chapter 202 Hero Among Women (24)

If Wu Kebo wants to join China Entertainment, he must make some plans...

A music company, a film and television company, and then poaching, financing, and acquisitions can create an entertainment group in a short time.

The two companies have been opened, now all that’s left is poaching!

Most of the big stars in China are under Huayi...

If you don’t dig it, who will dig it?

Moreover, he also plans to bring Feng Xiaogang under his banner...

But it's a bit difficult. After meeting him several times, Feng Xiaogang didn't like him at all.

It doesn’t matter, he recently hooked up with Kwan Kam Peng and collaborated with Emperor to jointly develop “Hold the Call”…

Chen Daoming is also Chengtian's target!

Then "Witness" is very crucial - if you seize the production rights, you can contact Director Chen...

In fact, Director Chen only discussed the possibility of "Witness" passing review with Han Shanping. The latter heard the outline of the story and told him, 'make it a co-production, hire a big star, and it will pass! ’

He also asked if he would like help contacting Emperor or Media Asia...

Director Chen agreed...

I don’t know why the project leaked out...

Wu Kebo called to ask about Shen Xudong. Shen Xudong... knew nothing!

He only said, 'Huang Zhonglei from Huayi asked me to have dinner together tonight, and we might discuss the matter of "Witness"...'

Wu Kebo became anxious upon hearing this...

"tonight?"

"Well, he is already in Hengdian..."

"...In this case, I will let Chen Hao accompany you..."

"Ah? Senior sister, come with me? Isn't that good?"

"...Yes, then don't agree to anything. I'm discussing cooperation with the Emperor here. I want "Witness"!"

Wu Kebo was very confident and felt that Shen Xudong would not refuse...

Shen Xudong was a little speechless: "...Mr. Wu, "Witness by All" is written for Teacher Chen Daoming..."

"I know, but don't you have the script in your hands?"

"...This project is already Mr. Chen Daoming's project, unless he doesn't want it anymore..."

"Oh, that's what you mean..."

"...Well, it's okay, I'll hang up now!"

…

Neuropathy…

You want it too?

What do you, Wu Kebo, have that makes Shen Xudong fall out with Chen Daoming because of you?

What can you do?

Filmed "Red Cliff" with Wu Yusen and then made Mengmeng famous?

Of course, he has money...

But Mr. Shen has passed the stage of only looking at money. At the beginning, he really just wanted to make money. Now, of course, money must be made, but broken shoes... Bah, no, it is art, and art must be made too!

How to do art?

Of course you have to join the circle and blend in...

Therefore, he was inclined to cooperate with Huayi.

The script of "Witness" has been written very well, with a multi-line narrative structure that any director with a little experience can handle.

Andy Lau + Gong Li + Director Chen, find a younger actress to play the daughter, pick a good schedule, and it will be a hit!

But when Shen Xudong said Gong Li's name, Huang Zhonglei was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Gong Li is in Hollywood..."

"...She was even willing to take on "Zhou Yu's Train", but the quality of "Witness" is still better than "Zhou Yu"..."

"Then let me invite you to try..."

Shen Xudong nodded first, then was surprised: "Mr. Huang, I'm just a screenwriter... You asked me to talk about the ideal state, and I just said it..."

Huang Zhonglei waved his hand: "This lineup is very suitable... Since we want to cooperate with you, you have the final say on the cast. As long as you name it, we will take care of the rest!"

When he said this, Huang Zhonglei exuded strong confidence.

Indeed, Huayi at this time was the leading private film and television company in the mainland...

There is no shortage of connections, resources, including official support!

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "...but this is Teacher Chen Daoming's play..."

"It's okay, I'll just tell him... That's enough. All we need is a director..." Huang Zhonglei thought for a while and asked him: "Do you have any recommendations for a director? Xiaogang is not suitable for such a movie!"

"Director Feng is suitable for that kind of cold humor..."

Huang Zhonglei nodded, then shook his head: "Actually, he is good at many genres. The first films "Forever Lost" and "Enemies and Fathers" were not released... Halfway through the filming of "Living an Embarrassing Life", I was notified that I would not be allowed to film... I had no choice but to film it. "Party A and Party B"... I remember that the box office of "Party A and Party B" reached 8 million in one week, but the reviews were not high. Director Feng got drunk one day and went straight to a film critic with a stick who scolded him. I have to fight with him..."

The reviews were not high... which is a rather euphemistic way of saying it. Most of the film critics at the time felt: This is not a movie. It is just a bunch of sketches with no characters. It is all cheap baggage...

But Shen Xudong was more surprised...

I simply can’t imagine that Feng Xiaogang would still have such a time?

"Then he knows where the film critic lives?"

"Of course, at that time, everyone who wrote film reviews had some weight and basically knew each other..."

"...That's it!"

Shen Xudong nodded. No wonder he scolded the film critic for pretending to be a big-tailed wolf during "Private Customization". This reminded him of what happened in "Party A and Party B"...

It's just that during "Party A and Party B", he was still just starting out and could only use his drinking power to get drunk. During "Private Order", he was already the mainland's leading commercial film director, so he could naturally express his feelings...

…

The topic continued. Shen Xudong thought for a while and said: "Actually, a movie like "Witness", which has multiple narratives to drive the plot, does not require an experienced director, especially a big director...at least not the kind of director who likes to change the script. I suggest just finding a Hong Kong director!"

"...Looking for anyone?"

"Hong Kong directors have very good execution capabilities, and they will not use them at will..."

After thinking about it, he suggested: "Look for Liu Weiqiang. He finished "Infernal Affairs 3" and has been unemployed..."

"Liu Weiqiang..."

Huang Zhonglei's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

"I didn't expect you to know so much about the behind-the-scenes production of the movie. Directors and actors are all here..." Huang Zhonglei smiled and picked up the cup: "Here, have a drink..."

Shen Xudong wondered: "...Mr. Huang, I have to write a script when I get back, and I have to follow the team tomorrow. I can't overdose..."

"Don't you think you feel better when you drink too much?"

Huo Tieyan, who had been silent for a long time, finally got the chance: "That's right, Li Bai's 100 poems about drinking wine..."

Shen Xudong smiled and shook his head: "That's Li Bai, I can't do it..."

Huo Tieyan picked up the cup and leaned over: "I'll drink with you... How about we have a drink together?"

not so good…

Shen Xudong wanted to refuse directly, but he rarely refused women and had little experience...

"Screenwriter Shen said he doesn't want to drink anymore, so stop teasing him..."

Huang Zhonglei helped out: "Where can we get something to eat?"

"Well..." Shen Xudong smiled apologetically at Huo Tieyan: "I'll get drunk with you when I get the chance!"

"Haha, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get drunk with her..." Facing the confused Shen Xudong, Huang Zhonglei explained: "Huo Tieyan is the most drinkable female star I have ever seen. Two kilograms of liquor is not a problem. You How much can you drink?”

Shen Xudong smiled awkwardly: "...I can drink two bottles of beer..."

He is indeed a hero among women, nothing can compare to this...
