Chapter 286 Refuse on the Spot (44)

Shen Xudong is talking about "Despicable Streets"...

How do you say it's sudden or not...

In fact, joining the line of director not only satirizes the "essence of gangsters", but also has another layer of criticism - the film industry is actually similar to the mafia, and they are both real interest groups...

Chen Musheng has no interest in pure gangster movies. He prefers to explore institutional issues in his movies. Therefore, the villains in his movies are usually insiders of the system...

Shen Xudong did not expect him to shoot "Mean Streets", but hoped that he would help introduce a suitable director.

Chen Musheng complained: "I'm almost becoming your agent..."

"Then I only know you as a Hong Kong director..."

"Who said that? Jackie Chan and you have a good relationship..." Even so, Chen Musheng still asked: "Who do you think is suitable to be the director of this movie?"

"I think director Zheng Baorui is good!"

"Zheng Baorui? The director of "Hot-Blooded Youth"?"

"Hmm... His style tends to be dark and thriller. "Cruel Streets" needs this type of director at the helm!"

"Okay, you give me the script, and I'll contact him after I return to Hong Kong!"

…

I went to Shanghai first, then BJ, Guangzhou, Shenzhen...

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen!

Movie promotion is inseparable from these four cities.

In fact, this period is quite good, and there are no competitors. The movie-watching craze for Hollywood blockbusters "King Arthur", "I, Robot", and "The Bourne Supremacy" has ended...

It’s a good thing not to have an opponent, but there is also a difficulty – mobilizing the audience to enter the theater!

It feels like everyone is preparing for the Lunar New Year movie. The number of moviegoers in November is pitifully small...

Even with the excitement of "The Desire of the Golden Branch", it's not enough!

That’s why publicity is needed!

Chen Hao and Hu Jun also came...

By the way, there is also Wu Kebo...

Shen Xudong greeted them one by one - he originally planned to shake hands with Senior Chen Hao, but she rushed over to him and had to change his handshake to a hug. Wu Kebo smiled the whole time...

This is a good artist, and he must be able to communicate with Teng Wenyi.

Wu Kebo did not accept media interviews...

Probably because he doesn't know how to speak - this is a common characteristic of White Gloves. He is very mysterious. I don't know where his money comes from...

His main focus is on the wine table!

To be honest, Cheng Tian's distribution power is really rubbish. They have only signed distribution agreements with nine of the 36 theater chains across the country. If China Film had not taken over the distribution of "Hold the Call", the box office would have been reduced by half!

But it doesn’t have to affect Wu Kebo’s pretense.

The same old bragging method, no shortage of money, no shortage of connections, etc...

Of course, he mainly played it to Chen Musheng. Wu Kebo still knew that he had money and connections, but lacked production ability...

Chen Musheng is a very good candidate!

At least it's much better than Eric Tsang's group. They came to the mainland and did nothing and wasted hundreds of thousands...

By the way, I would like to praise Gu Tianju...

In Boss Wu's opinion, Shen Xudong and Hu Jun are just accompanying guests...

They didn't care and just talked about themselves.

Hu Jun took over "Witness" and played the role of Sun Wei, Lin Tai's driver... He and Shen Xudong are also old friends, they have known each other since "Dragon"...

"I heard from Cao Ping that you are planning to do "The Conspiracy"?"

"...Yes, she is looking for you?"

"Um…"

"Have you read the novel "The Conspiracy"?"

Hu Jun nodded: "I saw it, but I think the scale is a bit big..."

"It's okay. We will consult experts when we adapt it. Besides, the novel can be published, so there is no reason why the TV series can't be broadcast!"

The scale of "The Conspiracy" is indeed large. The first part of "Ting Feng" has ten episodes. The blind man A Bing became a hero and wrote five or six episodes. Ordinary domestic dramas may not be so good, but they can only be written here, and the following episodes are Wrote about Abing’s marriage and death…

Arranged marriages, ignorant thoughts, human weaknesses, fatalistic deaths, and heroic legends are just human beings, and human beings have limitations, and human limitations will lead to human tragedies...

"You wrote the script yourself?"

"I'm in charge of polishing it. Teacher Mai has already written a version..."

"That's okay..."

Hu Jun agreed simply...

Shen Xudong raised his glass: "Let's have a shot!"

"It's okay to drink. Next time you come up with a suitable script, be sure to think of me more!"

"Don't worry, it's fine!"

The two clinked glasses...

…

Chen Hao sat next to Wu Kebo, bored. Well, actually it wasn't boring. When Wu Kebo was blowing his dick, he would pull her to toast with him...

Use her as a tool!

After chatting for a while, she simply came to Shen Xudong and Hu Jun with a wine glass...

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh," Shen Xu knew casually: "The spy war drama I told Director Cao Ping before is about to be filmed, and Brother Jun will play the male lead!"

"So fast?"

"It's not fast. It's been half a month. Let's decide on the main character first... The North Vision Center will have to open more..."

"Who is the director looking for?"

Hu Jun also looked at Shen Xudong, who smiled: "This hasn't been decided yet..."

"Then do you have anyone to choose?"

"Don't worry, Director Cao Ping knows it well!"

Changing the subject: "How's the situation with "The Beauty Conspiracy" over there?"

Chen Hao had no expression: "...just like that, still filming..."

While chatting, Shen Xudong suddenly heard Wu Kebo mention his name...

"Xudong has signed several movie contracts with us, right, Xudong?"

"What?"

Shen Xudong raised his head...

Wu Kebo said it again, and Shen Xudong asked in confusion: "...No, I remember that the next movies were all cooperating with China Film, Huayi, Taihe People and Emperor..."

Wu Kebo was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Aren't you always cooperating with our Chengtian?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, except for "Hold the Call", several of my films were made in cooperation with other companies..."

Wu Kebo waved his hand: "It's all the same... we Chengtian want the new film you told Director Chen!"

Shen Xudong looked at Chen Musheng: "...What new movie?"

""Cruel Streets"!"

"Oh, that movie... Our company is going to invest in its own production, so we won't bother Boss Wu..."

"...your own company? You..."

Wu Kebo then remembered that Shen Xudong was not his subordinate!

Just a partnership…

They have nothing to do with each other!

But being so uncooperative in public still made him a little angry...

I'm showing off, don't you know how to cooperate?

Fortunately, Chen Hao spoke up: "Let's talk about the new project. Now is the celebration time for "Hold the Call"!"

"Everyone drinks!"

Let’s stop this topic…

Then Wu Kebo suddenly said: "Our company seems to be the producer of "Soldier Assault"... It seems that it invested 8 million!"

Shen Xudong was speechless...

Why are you threatening me with this?

He replied: "The producer I found was Zhuang. He said he liked the show, so he invested 8 million..."

"Don't you know that Zhuang Liqi is our vice president of Chengtian?"

"…so what?"

"I can withdraw funds at any time..."

"hehe…"

Shen Xudong smiled back...
