Chapter 265 That’s Easy to Handle (44)

Since we are going to collaborate, of course the director must be prepared!

If it were a TV series with this kind of ancient costume theme, it would be no problem for Zhang Guoli to be the director. Movies...

Zhang Guoli had better forget it...

But Feng Xiaogang said: "Actually, I feel that making a blockbuster is quite easy, because you have the money to hire many experts, top martial arts instructors, top scorers, top artists, and good photographers. Yes. You can hire such masters with money. Each of these people can give you a lot of good tips and ideas. So you just need to choose..."

Zhang Guoli shook his head: "Then we have to find a director with weight, otherwise, people will think we are not sincere!"

"It's best to be a mainland director... How about we find Xie Jin?"

"...The old man is already over eighty years old, how dare you bother him?"

"Xudong, if you have an idea, just say it, don't worry!"

Shen Xudong has an embarrassing idea...

He thinks Xu Ke is good because Xu Ke has produced the "Once Upon a Time" trilogy...

The "Once Upon a Time" trilogy's thoughts or emotions about the history of the country are strong and unpretentious. They are not pretentious or preachy, making you feel full of sincerity.

The pattern itself is unpredictable.

It’s even rarer to have a good layout and a good director and a good actor!

When I meet a director with a good pattern, I don’t know what the so-called director is, that is, "The Promise" and "One Step Away". These two are typical pretense but are...

Of course, the "Once Upon a Time" series has completely abandoned the grand family and country narrative of the first three films since the fourth part. Once Upon a Time has been reduced to a showcase of kung fu spectacles that escalate and fight monsters and vent national emotions everywhere...

Only the uncanny skills of kung fu itself are left to attract the audience.

These are obviously not enough!

The most important thing...I don’t have a suitable costume film director at all in my memory!

Major mainland directors, influenced by David Lean, all like to make epics - David Lean, a famous director, is famous for his masterpieces "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Bridge on the River Kwai", "Doctor Zhivago"...

But... these people have their own private goods.

This is difficult because mainland audiences are full of awe for these things written in history books.

It’s hard to satisfy the public with your private goods!

Therefore, everyone is interested in "Nanjing!" Nanjing! 》Dissatisfied, a country that claims to be modern invades its neighbors, breaks through the capital, and kills brutally. It happened in the twentieth century. There is no need to use any perspective or self-reflection to whitewash it. This is an inhumane thing in itself!

The same goes for "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" - a group of prostitutes took off their clothes and sacrificed themselves, and at the end of the day they had sex with handsome foreign men. It was very touching, but if you think about it carefully: the smell of blood mixed with the rotting corpses in the city, who Do you have any leisure time? Is human sublimity more valuable than dead people? More infectious?

Not to mention Hong Kong directors, including Mr. Xu, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has clearly been reduced to a special effects show - Yuhuatian, do you dare to fight in a tornado with me?

are you crazy…

…

After all, there was no result from the discussion. After lunch, Shen Xudong went back to school to continue supervising the rehearsal...

Replaced with an Audi A4, bought it for 380,000...

Anyway, Shen Xudong probably won’t change cars for the time being!

As soon as I got in the car, I received a call from Shen Haobo.

""Struggle" will be released next month... Okay, by the way, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" I sent you, have you read it?"

"...No, Jackie Chan fell in love with the script. I was wondering if we should wait until the movie is released before publishing it?"

"How can I be sure when it will be released? It's not confirmed yet..."

"Just wait a moment... "The Desire of the Golden Branch" and "The Excellent Servant" are ready for publication..."

"Ah? "The Love of the Golden Branch" will be broadcast next month... I didn't pay attention, I'm not busy..."

"Well, "Snail House" has almost been written..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong continued driving...

The identity of the three major writers cannot be lost!

This is the foundation.

"Struggle" and "Snail House" will also help him open up the urban drama market!

In addition... I casually wrote this book and made an income of 1.8 million. Why should I throw away such a good thing?

There are still many good things in his mind!

When the car reached the entrance of East Mianmian Hutong, the phone rang again. This time it was... Zhuang Liqi!

Why is Zhuang Liqi looking for him?

Could it be that the preparations for "The Best Butler" are progressing too slowly...

Quickly answered: "Hello...Uncle Zhuang..."

On the other end of the phone, Zhuang Liqi went straight to the point: "I heard that you are going to collaborate with Jackie Chan?"

"...It's just maybe...he seems to have taken a liking to my script..."

"It's called "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."

Zhuang Liqi immediately asked, "Then why didn't you tell me about this script?"

"...This is a sketch I prepared for a sketch competition...It was later adapted into a movie script. Director Chen Musheng asked me if I had any new works, so I sent it to him..."

"Then you should also inform us..."

Zhuang Liqi knew it well: "When will he arrive tomorrow?"

"...I don't know, Jackie Chan just said to come over and watch the sketch..."

While I was talking, I vaguely heard someone say, "Does he know what Jackie Chan represents?" Such a great opportunity for cooperation...I asked him to send the script right away...and said we want this project! ’

This is quite harsh...

Shen Xudong immediately became upset...

Of course he knew who said this—Wu Kebo!

"Uncle Zhuang...I still have something to do, let's talk later..."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Zhuang Liqi a chance to speak!

Do you want this project?

Who are you?

Even Han Shanping would not talk to Shen Xudong like this!

He hung up the phone and Zhuang Liqi was embarrassed...

You can be sure that Shen Xudong heard what Wu Kebo said just now and was very dissatisfied!

"How did he say?"

"...Xiao Shen hung up the phone!"

Wu Kebo quickly asked: "What about the project? Where is Jackie Chan?"

"...He said he was rehearsing a skit and had no time to answer the phone..."

"What does he want to do?" Wu Kebo was very angry: "Mr. Zhuang, we are now acquiring Jiahe, this..."Datang..."..."

Zhuang Liqi: ""Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."

"Glory of the Tang Dynasty," Wu Kebo nodded: "If we succeed in the acquisition and then invest in the production of Jackie Chan's movies under the name of Golden Harvest, how exciting it will be for the market, and if we want to gain a foothold in the market, we must make blockbusters. What is a blockbuster? One with big stars!"

Nice cake painting...

Most importantly, Jiahe is close to completing the acquisition!

Zhuang Liqi hesitated: "...but I heard that Jackie Chan has been cooperating with the Emperor in recent years..."

"So, the script is very important... We Chengtian must take the lead in the project... No matter what, let's go to BJ and talk to Jackie Chan in person!"

"Should we talk to Xiao Shen?"

Wu Kebo was confused: "...Don't we have priority investment rights in Xiao Shen's projects?"

Zhuang Liqi was embarrassed again: "This is just a verbal agreement... I haven't officially signed a contract with him yet!"

"...This is done!"

Wu Kebo was a little dissatisfied... After thinking about it, he asked, "Does Xiao Shen have anything he likes?"

"…have no idea…"

Zhuang Liqi glanced at Wu Kebo, and then said: "I suggest bringing Chen Hao!"

"Chen Hao? He likes Chen Hao? That'll be easy!"
