Chapter 237 Don’t Take Advantage of Everything (44) (Happy New Year and Good Luck)
After the celebration banquet was over, Shen Xudong got in the car and prepared to leave.
"You go home?"
"Well, isn't school on vacation?"
Zhang Guoli sat in the same car with him, asked a few polite words casually, and then said: "The "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" you just mentioned can be written into a novel first, and then we will see the influence..."
"Well, I understand, thank you Uncle Zhang..."
"You just said that Jackie Chan will play... I think it's quite reliable, but you also have to consider other people's wishes..."
"I know."
Jackie Chan is now a Hong Kong filmmaker…
Next year, "The Myth" will be co-produced by China Film and Television, and then "Baby Project" will be co-produced with Huayi. Only then will Jackie Chan take the initiative to integrate into the mainland film industry.
To be precise, it’s a BJ circle!
The time is really not right at this stage...
"You are a smart man. Our world is full of temptations. Don't do anything illegal... Women can do whatever they want, but remember not to cause any trouble!"
Shen Xudong nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang..."
This is treating him as a nephew...
"Don't think I'm nagging..."
"No, this is all experience..."
"Okay, I'll take a moment."
After saying that, Zhang Guoli closed his eyes. He drank a lot tonight.
So happy!
It's off to a good start. The TV series includes "The Smell of Sophora Flowers in May" and the movie includes "The Orphan"...
Yes, you won't make much money just by watching "Lost Orphan" - after all, you only invested 30%, but the success of "Lost Orphan" made the industry see the potential of this emerging company.
In the past few days, he has received a lot of investment invitations, not to mention waving checks to him, but almost...
At least for a short time, I don’t have to worry about finding money.
How many film and television companies use their own money to invest in their works?
Of course he was very grateful to Shen Xudong.
The older generation of directors attach great importance to screenwriting, and they really believe that the script is the foundation - Feng Xiaogang came to prominence because he served as the screenwriter of "The Story of the Editorial Office"...
What's more, Shen Xudong's creative ability is too strong...
"Lost Orphan", "Party A and Party B 2", "Mobile Phone 2" and "Outstanding Citizen", "Witness", "The Tailor", "Manslaughter"...
That's why Zhang Guoli paid attention to "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"!
This script is of course very good, but it is a bit inappropriate - praising national integrity...
You know, in the past few years at the Golden Rooster Awards and the Huabiao Awards, "Born Out of the Sky" lost to "The Love of the Yellow River"!
"Yellow River" is directed by a Chinese director, but the perspective is from an American perspective;
Just like "Nanjing!" Nanjing! "Like Lu Chuan, the movie was shot from the perspective of Riben...
These days, "flattering to the United States" and "flattering to the West" can be regarded as an advanced culture in the circle of cultural elites. Praising national integrity is somewhat out of date...
It's ironic to say that we don't even have a positive image in their movies and TV shows, so we have to find crooked characters to play us.
On the contrary, in our movies and TV shows, all the outstanding qualities of greatness, kindness, and perseverance are added to their characters, for fear that if they are not added enough, they have to look up the dictionary. God usually brings auspicious clouds...
Amou is no exception, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"...
Angsa men represent the will of God to save the world!
You can't blame them, the times and environment are like that, because in 1991, the United States won!
We want to integrate into the world, which is actually to integrate into the West. From top to bottom, we are filled with a desire to be recognized and accepted by the West and the United States...
In addition, the prototype of "The Thirteen Hairpins" is Minnie Vautrin, and in "The Diary of Vautrin", Minnie Vautrin is definitely an international warrior, but why did she change from female to male?
I don’t know, maybe I think Angsa men and yellow women are more cunning, right?
This point is in agreement with many people in the West - the documentary "Tilted Screen", a documentary that explores the image of Asians on American screens, said: Once there is a combination of white men and yellow women in film and television dramas, in the end Without passion scenes, Western audiences would be extremely disappointed.
By the way, let me tell you something, although "The Yellow River" showed the US military pilot to be handsome, affectionate, and full of internationalist spirit, and brought the most beautiful female star in China at the time, Ning Jing, into his arms.
Ironically, on May 8 of the year the film was released, the Yugoslav Embassy was bombed, killing three journalists...
It was also done by American pilots...
If Shen Xudong writes a "Miss Saigon" type script...
…
"...What does it have to do with me for people to make money..."
After returning home, Shen Xudong received a message from Gao Fenfen, asking how much money he made from "Lost Orphan". Shen Xudong was a little speechless.
"...How did I know that "Lost Orphan" could make money? If I had known in advance, I would have encouraged you to invest..."
While talking, he dug into his pocket, took out two red envelopes, and took off his coat at the same time.
On the other end of the phone, Gao Fenfen was a little disappointed: "I didn't expect it either. I even thought that Orphans might not be released!"
"Yeah, you think so too..."
As he spoke, Shen Xudong sat down and prepared to open the red envelope.
"Then...can we invest in "Party A and Party B 2"?"
"It's a bit difficult. There should be no shortage of investment for Feng Xiaogang's movie... Damn it!"
Shen Xudong opened the red envelope and saw the check, the amount was 800,000!
Can’t help but be surprised…
"What's wrong?"
"fine…"
Only then did Shen Xudong realize that Deng Jie would have looked like that when he accepted the red envelope so casually...
Eight hundred thousand!
Another red envelope... I guess it's about the same...
When I opened it, it turned out to be a check, with the same amount of 800,000...
Deng Jie and Xu Fan should have discussed it in advance...
The script fee for "Lost Orphan" and the adaptation fee of 300,000 yuan have been paid by Deng Jie before. This 1.6 million yuan is considered a bonus!
"fine?"
When Gao Fenfen's voice came, he realized that he was on the phone and quickly came back to his senses: "I don't think we should invest in big directors for the time being. They are not short of funds..."
"Investing in novice directors? It's too risky..."
"What I mean is not to invest in movies for the time being. Wouldn't it be great if we made a TV series?"
Gao Fenfen complained on the other end of the phone: "What a good thing, "The World's No. 1" made more than 20 million, and it doesn't have much to do with us..."
"We have no investment... It would be great if "Sword" and "Beauty's Scheming" are broadcast..."
"...You make up your mind..." Gao Fenfen remembered something again: "The "Irish Assault" you mentioned was indeed taken seriously by Director Kang Honglei, and he was also prepared to direct it... But I read the script, and although I was very moved, there was not even a woman in this play. There are no roles...are you sure we want to invest?"
Kang Honglei has already become famous across the country with "The Years of Passion" - "The Years of Passion" was broadcast on BJ Satellite TV, and the ratings once reached 17%, creating a ratings miracle for local stations.
No longer a nobody!
But... "Erna Assault" does have a special theme...
"...Support me, senior. The screenwriter Lan Xiaolong is very talented. Moreover, you said that the script was very touching... Also, it was "Elna Assault", not Ireland. I am really convinced!"
I'm going to meet my future father-in-law tomorrow...
Take a day off.
Hehe, I finally have such a day!
