In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 284 Qiang Qiang Threesome (24)

The studio was simply decorated, with photography, recording and other equipment aimed at the middle of the field, and a round table covered with a white tablecloth.

Shen Xudong, who had just arrived at the recording site, was shaking hands with host Dou Wentao and guest host Liang Wendao. Dou Wentao, who was wearing rimless glasses, smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, I have admired you for a long time, and I have always wanted to chat with you!"

"Mr. Dou...Mr. Liang..."

Shen Xudong got to know these two hosts through the video materials of "Qiang Qiang Threesome" that he watched before...

Of course, plus the memory of future generations.

Liang Wendao...it's actually quite interesting.

Many people say that he pretends to understand because he talks nonsense about Mozart and Beethoven, such as the Chilean economy, and is full of mistakes and omissions...

It followed the typical route of "commercialization for literati and literature and art for businessmen".

It is said that he likes to speak on any public affairs and can't help showing off his caring attitude. Whenever you show up, light your pipe, the clouds are flying and the mist is swirling, and you look like a master, it is unavoidable to be pretentious...

Shen Xudong does not put labels on people, because once a person is labeled, no matter what he does, you will agree with him!

But... people like Liang Wendao cannot help but be labeled - he is a typical American value-oriented person, but he hides it deeply and belongs to the type who wants to make money while pretending to be fair.

But these have nothing to do with Shen Xudong. Today’s theme is ‘movies! ’

"Qiang Qiang Threesome" is a very interesting program. There is no prescribed script, just a theme, and then they chat about everyday things...

After chatting for a while and getting to know each other, the three of them sat down at the table.

"I've actually been urging the director to find you..."

"Really?"

"Did you make "The Screening Room"?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes!"

"I watch every issue..."

Shen Xudong smiled: "I actually only wrote the first 135 issues, about Hong Kong movies, and the subsequent Hollywood and European parts were left to a few other more professional people..."

"Is it because I don't have time to write?"

"Roughly the same…"

The program "Screening Room" can actually be withdrawn from the stage...

After all, Shen Xudong and the others have already gotten out...

But... this program already has a brand effect. As long as the TV station does not stop broadcasting, Shen Xudong and the others will continue to do it!

So far, the profit per period is still around six figures.

"I'm very curious about you. You see, you started by writing reviews, and then you started writing novels..."

Liang Wendao interjected: "What comment?"

"Jin Yong's review of martial arts... later he wrote "The Best in the World", right?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Actually, it's like this. After I arrived at the Central Theater, I didn't spend much money and didn't have a mobile phone. A few people in the dormitory thought that my family was poor. The third child in our dormitory had an aunt who made a magazine and said that Jin Yong's martial arts was very good. Huo, let me write a few reviews... I wrote Linghu Chong..."

"Linghu Chong? Why Linghu Chong?"

"Because Jin Yong failed to write the character Linghu Chong. It is impossible to have both secluded chic and worldly success!

Mr. Jin Yong praised the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties for a major premise. The celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties were all descendants of aristocratic families who were born with official positions and were supported by their own manors. Linghu Chong, a young man from a poor family, doesn't work hard to reach the top and changes his destiny against the will of heaven. How can he be worthy of imitating others and eating five-stone powder and living drunkenly and dreaming of death? Therefore, "Swordsman" is full of bugs, feel free to find faults! "

"Then why did you write it yourself?"

"Many comments scolded me for not being worthy of commenting on Linghu Chong, saying that I had no works, so I wrote a martial arts novel and named it "The Best in the World"! I just wanted to tell them that I can write novels!"

“…and then became famous?”

"Almost... and there was a recommendation from our teacher. He knew that I was obsessed with Jin Yong's martial arts, so he recommended me to the crew of "Dragon"... Then I met Senior Chen Hao... She happened to want to play a heroine, so she bought "The Best in the World" 》adaptation rights..."

"Did she buy it?"

"Actually not...but I can't say who it is..."

"understand!"

Dou Wentao chuckled, and Liang Wendao also smiled: "So, what is your relationship with her?"

Shen Xudong answered seriously: "She is my benefactor... I have also seen people on the Internet speculating that my relationship with her is unclear and so on... I can only say that they are overthinking it!"

“What’s going on with ‘Hold the Call’?”

"This is what I thought after watching "Mobile Phone"..."

""Mobile Phone" directed by Feng Xiaogang?"

"Yes!" Shen Xudong nodded: "The theme of the movie "Mobile Phone" is too old. It clearly talks about extramarital affairs, but it attributes the mistake to "Mobile Phone"... I don't like this movie, but with the help of the 'mobile phone' prop, I can tell the story There are a lot of things. My first thought was about the many harassing phone calls. What should I do if someone calls for help? Then I wrote "Hold the Call"..."

Dou Wentao praised again: "So the screenwriter is great. After watching a movie, he comes up with a new story. After we watch the movie, we can only think about the quality of the movie!"

Liang Wendao asked: "...What about the second one?"

"...The second one is also a movie idea. A group of people gather for dinner and play a game. 'Everyone's mobile phone is placed on the table. When there is a call or message, it is shared openly with everyone...'

I originally planned to call it "Dangerous Game", but I told Director Feng about it. He thought it was very interesting, so he changed the name to "Mobile Phone 2" and named Director Chen and Gong Li as the starring roles! "

Dou Wentao immediately answered: ""Mobile Phone 2"? When will it be released?"

"It's early. Director Feng's "A World Without Thieves" hasn't started filming yet. Why do we have to wait until "A World Without Thieves" is finished before filming "Mobile Phone 2"..."

"Back to "Hold the Call", how did you get in touch with Chen Musheng?"

"...I finished writing the script, and then I was thinking about the director. I thought it would be appropriate to change it to director Mu Sheng, so I asked Senior Chen Hao to contact him. Chen Musheng was very straightforward when it came to the director. He flew directly to BJ to find me and got the script..."

"Chen Hao contacted you?"

"Her company contacted her to make a co-production. It stipulated that the proportion of mainland actors should not be less than one-third of the total number of main actors. It is impossible for the male lead to be given to a mainland actor, so it must be an actress... Chen Senior Sister Hao also wants to star in a co-production..."

"How much does this movie cost?"

"It didn't cost much. The phone implant seemed to cost 8 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing a script like this?"

Liang Wendao interjected again: "I saw you writing "Outstanding Citizen"... That movie was so interesting, it's hard to imagine that "Hold the Call" was also written by you!"

"how to say?"

"It's too commercial...

Shen Xudong was noncommittal...

The first episode of "Qiang Qiang Threesome" is 60 minutes and is broadcast in two episodes. In addition to "Hold the Call", we also talked about co-production policies, the outlook for the Chinese film market, etc...
