In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 217 I Recommend Gong Li (14)

"Finally, I came up with two strategies. One is not to show it in the mainland, and the co-production becomes a co-production;"

There is only one word difference between co-production and co-production, but the treatment is far different.

Since last year, co-production films have been released in the market equivalent to domestic films, so they also enjoy the same rights and obligations. Only the producer of a co-production film can obtain 40% of the mainland box office revenue;

Co-produced films can only be imported, and the producers can get 13%-14% of the box office revenue after deducting tariffs.

Therefore, the review and approval of co-production films takes more into account China's national conditions and the tastes of mainland audiences than co-production films. In a sense, the review of co-production films will be stricter...

In addition, most co-produced films cannot be released, but they can be released on DVD...

However, with Gong Li's popularity, there should be no problem in releasing it.

Feng Xiaogang then asked: "...Is there another move?"

"Change the story... The man didn't die, he just fainted and was buried by the heroine... The heroine finally surrendered..."

"surrender"

Now even Zhang Guoli couldn't help it anymore: "She surrendered, what will happen to the child? Who will support her?"

Shen Xudong sighed: "...There is no way. Our movies do not allow absolute bad guys. No one or thing is above the law. Even if you take advantage of a loophole, even if you are not discovered, in the movie It’s not a place outside the law…”

"Are you sure Gong Li will pick it up?"

"Well, she asked for the script and was looking for a director. Liang Jiahui recommended the Mak brothers..."

Shen Xudong is sure that Gong Li will film "Manslaughter"...

It's just that she is not very willing to pay for it herself, but she said she would help find the money...

Don't think that he was just enjoying himself last night, he was really talking about art!

So, it’s better for me, sister, to switch back to a project after just one night...

If we come again a few times, wouldn’t it mean we have to go to heaven?

"I heard from Xiao Gao that your company is going to make a horror film?"

"...It's not us doing it, it's investment, Tang Ren is responsible for the production..."

Zhang Guoli changed the topic and talked about "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter"...

"How did you get the idea to write a horror movie?"

Shen Xudong replied: "... Mainly because Tang Ren's Cai Yinong told me that she wanted to make a movie and if she had anything to recommend... I asked how much money she wanted, and she said a few million... Then I recommended a horror movie..."

"how to say?"

"In the history of world cinema, there are only three genres that can make a big difference: horror films, comedies and youthful films. There is no need to consider youthful films. Comedies... Tang Ren does not have actors who are good at comedies. I have always felt that comedies The most important thing is the actors. A joke is not funny to everyone...then it can only be a horror movie!"

Deng Jie was surprised: "...Have you ever studied this?"

Shen Xudong explained with a smile: "There is no way, everything is market-oriented now, and I have just debuted. If I write a few unprofitable books, no one will come to me!"

"I noticed that the two horror films you wrote are considered folklore stories?"

"Well... I got the limited proposition, so I had to think about what kind of thing to write. It had to ensure the horror elements, and it had to be safe to pass the review, and it also had to reflect the flavor of a Chinese horror film. I thought of what my grandma used to do with me. The scary stories I talked about were horse monkeys, water monkeys, etc... combined with Northeastern folklore, I wrote "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter"... After I finished writing, I thought I could refer to the structure of "Rashomon" and tell a rumor. The story of "Mountain Village Fox Wife" was created..."

Zhang Guoli gave a thumbs up: "...amazing!"

"...No, I've actually done a lot of research, and I still have a few ideas in my mind, but I haven't written them yet... I'll wait until these two movies are released, and let's see the market feedback!"

"What new idea?"

"Ghost marriages, tomb robbing, corpse driving..."

"Isn't it easy to do?"

“…Let’s take a look at the market feedback first…”

Zhang Guoli nodded and then asked: "Has the investment in the two horror films been resolved?"

"solved…"

Feng Xiaogang suddenly interrupted: "You just said that there are comedies among the three types of small and broad-minded?" So do you have a comedy script? ’

"...There is one."

"Tell me about it!"

"It's also a story about mobile phones...it's not really a comedy..."

Shen Xudong talked about "Perfect Strangers"...

"...It can be considered based on "Cell Phone", but it goes a step further. Seven friends gather for a dinner. The gathering place is the home of one of the couples. The male host is a doctor and the female host is a psychiatrist.

There were a total of seven people at the party, three couples, and a fat man attended the party alone. He originally said that he would introduce his new girlfriend to everyone at this party, but his girlfriend had a fever and could not attend, so everyone waited and was booed.

It started to be fun, talking and laughing. We are all good friends, best friends, and true friends sharing weal and woe.

Then women talked about men covering up for each other's cheating, and some people said that mobile phones are like black boxes, hiding secrets that even the closest people cannot share.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became strange, so the hostess proposed to play a game: everyone puts their mobile phones on the table. No matter whose mobile phone receives text messages, they must share them and make them public. The incoming calls must be answered and the toll-free carry. "

"Do I have to pick up the phone and put it on speakerphone?"

"Well...this is the basic setting!"

"And then?"

"...Each of the three couples has their own privacy, maybe the man is cheating, or the woman is involved...Of course there are some unspoken rules at work, the boss wants to sleep with him, etc..."

"How to close the bottom?"

"...I imagine that the male protagonist Gong stopped the game from continuing...because he found out that his good friend was having an affair with his wife...the details are still being considered..."

Feng Xiaogang immediately became interested: "This script is interesting, and the relationship is much messier than that of "Cell Phone"!"

Zhang Guoli was about to remind "A World Without Thieves" when Shen Xudong already said: "I originally prepared it for you. When I go back, I will sort out the relationship and save the script..."

"Well, I want it... What does the fat man mean?"

"...The fat person I most envision is gay and doesn't want to get married...but I don't think it's possible. If I shoot it like this, I guess it won't pass the trial. Then I'll change it to a woman with short hair and be harassed by my boss..."

"The peer relationship is really not good... the girl with short hair is pretty good..."

Zhang Guoli couldn't help but interrupt him: "Ahem, "A World Without Thieves"!"

"Oh!" Feng Xiaogang quickly took out the script: "This is a new script. Please take a look at it and modify it..."

The script of "A World Without Thieves" is very simple. It's about a pair of thieves who wanted to wash their hands in a golden basin, and they did a good deed, and then the man got his life involved...

Of course Shen Xudong knows about this movie, and Andy Lau’s Kappa look!

"What is most important in the 21st century? Talent!"

"Uncle Li is very angry, and the consequences will be serious."

"People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team."

Well, although Uncle Li is the second male lead, all the famous quotes are his!

I just don’t like Liu Ruoying very much, why can she play the female lead?

Later I found out - she had an unusual relationship with Chen Guofu!

Liu Ruoying really stepped on the horse and left people speechless. The Golden Horse Award sang with Qin Han and connoted Leslie Cheung. She also said, "I can't act in a movie like "Happy Together"..."

Then, after a few months, I filmed "Beauty Is Singing"...

It’s also a gay-themed movie!

Does your face hurt?

It’s so amazing, milk tea…one word captures the essence, green tea!

Or literary green tea!

Shen Xudong hated her, so when he heard that Liu Ruoying was playing the heroine, he deliberately looked shocked: "Why does Liu Ruoying play the heroine of Director Feng? How can she be so virtuous? Has she won any awards? Does she have any box office records?"

Feng Xiaogang explained: "...She is the girlfriend of the producer Chen Guofu...Our drama is invested by Huayi, and the Huang brothers think highly of Chen Guofu..."

"So what? I recommend Gong Li, and I can guarantee that Gong Li will take it!"
