Chapter 213 I’m Not Sure (14)

Why is Director Chen looking for him?

Could it be that he also heard the godfather rumors?

Hurry up and get through, okay, we're also going to have dinner together...

No...have you calculated the date?

Why is it this time?

The beginning is the same - are you going back to BJ?

Convinced!

This horse has just come back, and the news has already spread?

Am I that important?

"I'm so anxious to find you, something must be wrong!"

"...But I just came back and I haven't reported to the school yet... Where did they get the news about me?"

Zhao Linhai thought for a while and then said: "...Maybe they care about you very much?"

"What should I care about? I'm not a girl..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone rang again, this time it was Gao Fenfen. Her words probably revealed the reason why these people cared about Shen Xudong.

"You told Zhang Guoli the investment status of the two dramas "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter"... No, how do you know Zhang Guoli?"

"..."Treasure Appraisal" has been hosted by Wang Gang... Didn't we not participate in "Treasure Appraisal"?"

"Participated in the early preparations...Uncle is a producer...Isn't uncle from the film purchasing department? His position has been adjusted..."

Shen Xudong probably understood why Zhang Guoli was looking for him...

I want to invest in those two horror movies...

After all, the cost is low, the risk is small, and the most important folklore story is relatively simple to pass the review...

Zhang Guoli's Taihe People's Film Company needs new projects, and they can't just count on Feng Xiaogang.

In fact... I can count on Feng Xiaogang alone - "Orphan" hasn't even been released yet, and it has already earned 3 million!

The total income of the film "The Lost Orphan" from these three aspects is about 14 million yuan, including pre-roll advertising, authorization of DVD disc production and TV copyright. After deducting the marketing expenses of 5 million yuan for film promotion and the production cost of 6 million yuan, it has not been released. Already made a profit of 3 million!

"Party A and Party B 2" went a step further, with revenue reaching 26 million. Of course, the cost was 13 million, and the publicity expenses were estimated to be around 8 million...

It also made money without even being released!

It's good, but this is the money earned by Feng Xiaogang, not Zhang Guoli.

He also began to think about investing in movies.

Thinking of this, Shen Xudong was enlightened and murmured to himself: "...I understand!"

"What do you understand?"

"...It's nothing. Didn't you also make an appointment for dinner when you called?"

Gao Fenfen on the other end of the phone was surprised: "You also know that Mr. Qin Hong from Xingmei invited us to dinner... Hey, why did you say 'yes'?"

"It means there's more than one family..." Shen Xudong didn't want to dwell on this topic and asked directly: "When?"

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

"No," Shen Xudong flatly refused; "I have an appointment the day after tomorrow!"

"...Then it will be the day after tomorrow..."

"Okay, you send me the address and I will go directly there then."

…

Shen Xudong talked about Gao Fenfen...

Zhao Linhai answered: "Xingmei? She voted for "Jiang Hu" some time ago, and I heard that Andy Lau was offered a salary of 7 million yuan!"

Zhao Xin also said: "...I know it too, I heard that it has not been tried!"

The left-hand brother in "Jiang Hu", Andy Lau's partner Zhang Xueyou, has a classic line: "You don't listen when I tell you, you don't understand when I hear, you don't do when you understand, you make mistakes when you do, you don't admit when you are wrong, you don't change when you admit," If you don’t accept the change and you don’t say anything, what do you want me to do? ’

"I heard that it was the people in Hong Kong who fooled people. When applying for approval, they mentioned Li Yapeng, but it turned out that there was no such thing..."

"Yes, I heard about it too. It seems that there were originally scenes with the police, but they were all deleted. At the end, the two kids opened a small restaurant, but now in the finished film, the two lines are combined into one, and they are all gangster scenes... "

It's true, "Jianghu" was originally submitted for review as a co-production, so that's why StarMei invested in it!

Then he did all sorts of tricks and got caught, which is typical!

Director Huang Jingfu will never have the chance to make movies in the Mainland again

But Eric Tsang admired him very much and later asked him to film "Sister-in-law"...

As a mainland investor and co-producer of the film, Star America was very unhappy and publicly stated: "When they sent it to us, we made suggestions, such as adding positive characters, but they didn't listen and thought they were smart and sent it to the film bureau. , also said that we passed, but the result was that we failed.

Some Hong Kong people are very smart. They consulted with us while filming, and made constant adjustments during the filming so that they would not fail after the filming.

You can’t just want the mainland market but not abide by the mainland’s rules! "

After Shen Xudong understood the whole story, he nodded: "...I guess I feel like I've been cheated. I think I should cooperate more with mainland filmmakers..."

After a pause, he added: "But I'm not a filmmaker, right?"

"Why don't you count? "Outstanding Citizen" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, and "Orphan" will be released in July... The screenwriter of "Party A and Party B 2" is also you..."

"That's right, if you don't count as a filmmaker, then who does?"

"Stop complimenting me..." Shen Xudong waved his hand: "It's time to go to school..."

…

When I arrived at school, I first reported to Teacher Huang to cancel my leave, then returned to the dormitory to distribute gifts and so on...

It's a bit exaggerated to say that the gift was a gift, but it was actually a local specialty that Shen Xudong bought casually.

Arrowroot powder, candied dates, etc., yes, there are also two cigarettes...

Liqun also has Big Red Eagle.

Soon everyone in the dormitory, including a few who came to watch the excitement, began to puff up.

Talked about some things about the filming of "Sword and Fairy"...

At almost ten o'clock, a group of people left, and Zhao Linhai also disappeared - he and his girlfriend were already living together, and the dormitory was a haven for him to escape...

Zhao Xin watched "Flying Fox Gaiden" - since he decided to take it, he must do it well!

Familiarity with the original work is a must!

Shen Xudong rinsed briefly and then lay on the bed...

He was thinking about why Director Chen came to him.

Could it be that he was about to give up on "Witness to All"?

It’s not surprising, after all, at this time in the original time and space, he filmed "My Heart Is Flying" with Gao Xiaosong...

"My Heart Is Flying" is a film that I don't understand. It seems to be about the emotional entanglement of three men who have reached the same destination through different paths and a mute woman from Xiangxi...

Maybe Director Chen at this stage likes this form of expression?

Gao Xiaosong was really lucky. In 1999, when "The Flowers Bloomed" was completed, he didn't expect that when the finished film was submitted, he was given more than 160 comments for revision. They are never allowed to go up there.

It took two years for the film to be released. It was a blessing in disguise. When the movie was released, Zhou Xun was already extremely popular. Logically speaking, it should be a big hit.

It's a pity that Teacher Gao's "energy density" is not enough, so he lost money in the end.

Generally, if a new director fails, it will be difficult for him to find money again.

But he managed to win over Director Chen with just three pages of the script for "My Heart Is Flying"...

Forget it, let’s talk about it when we meet tomorrow.

Why does Shen Xudong have this idea?

Or because I feel unsure...

Although he seems to be beautiful now,... he is a tree without roots and water without a source!

With the memory of another person, he knows that what matters in the entertainment industry is not talent, but relationships!

The entertainment industry is different from other circles. This is a circle where the financial backers can be taken for granted...

Frankly speaking, body swapping is a normal circle!

In this circle, connections are very important...
