Chapter 343 Sister Hua (34)

After such a interruption, Shen Xudong couldn't find his train of thought...

I simply closed the writing page and clicked on the script for "The Aviator" sent by Zhou Shen.

The original work of "The Aviator" is a story about dreams!

Li Mingqi works in a military factory, and his dream is to build an aircraft. At that time, he was full of passion and determination for his dream. This determination impressed his father-in-law Gao Likuan and his wife's brother Gao Xuguang. They always believed that Li Mingqi was not a thing in the pool and supported Li Mingqi's dream.

It’s just that this is not a story with a happy ending. The reality is always cold. Old industrial cities with backward technology, declining industries with no one to support innovation, and life constraints all make Li Mingqi’s dreams shattered again and again...

His son also grew up in such an embarrassing and financial environment. He gambled at billiards and worked as a debt collector. Because the down payment for a house became a spare tire abandoned by his girlfriend, he suffered from depression because of the disillusionment in life.

At the end of the story, Li Mingqi, his son, and several people who had the same disillusionment with his dreams disappeared into the night sky in a hot air balloon.

The movie definitely can’t be shot like this!

Shen Xudong wrote an outline of the script and sent it to Zhou Shen, asking him to expand the content along the outline of the script. The latter retreated for two weeks and completed the script of "The Aviator" with Liu Lu.

Actually it doesn’t take that long, because Shen Xudong’s script outline contains several important plot points…

All Zhou Shen and Liu Lu have to do is to connect these plot points with lines and plots.

Shen Xudong probably read the script...

No big deal.

There is the framework of his script!

In addition, a cost estimate of approximately 3 million to 5 million was given.

If it's a little rougher, you can still shoot it with 2 million...

Shot in high-definition digital and then transferred to film later.

The result is that the color of the picture is seriously lacking, which is extremely painful to look at.

Oh, at this stage, movies must be transferred to film, because only film can be used to make copies. Later, they were all copied digitally, and there was no need to shoot on film!

Back to "The Aviator"...

It’s not a big problem for Zhou Shen and Liu Lu to be directors. With his support as an investor and producer...

The problem is finding better photography!

The romantic elements of the film require a spiritual photographer to capture...

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong picked up his phone and prepared to find Zhang Li...

Even if he doesn't have time, as a great photographer in the industry, he can definitely recommend a few good photographers!

Although it was midnight, Shen Xudong knew that Zhang Li must not have slept yet!

Sure enough, the latter answered the phone and recommended photographer Huang Wei...

The photographer of "Toward the Republic" later joined Dongyang Zhengwu and co-directed "Dajiang Dahe"...

Of course, we still need to meet and discuss in detail whether it is suitable.

…

It’s like this. The reason why Wang Jinghua proposed to join Tianmei was really Daoming Chen’s suggestion!

Director Chen just wants to act in a few enjoyable works.

But the first premise of an enjoyable work is a work, a good work!

In the past two years, I have acted in many TV series and tried many different styles of characters and roles...

But they are basically TV series.

The film aspect is lackluster, and then last year he won the Venice Best Actor for "Outstanding Citizen"!

Then he filmed "Witness" and "The Tailor"...

The screenwriters are all Shen Xudong!

Well, Director Chen just wants to continue to cooperate with Shen Xudong...

Wang Jinghua actually has her own considerations - Huayi definitely can't stay any longer!

It's already on the table - Huayi took over "The Barber", found Chen Kun to star, co-invested in the production of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", and added Huang Xiaoming to the cast...

Moreover, the relationship between actors completely ignores Wang Jinghua...

In fact, it is to tell Wang Jinghua: We don’t need your people!

Of course Wang Jinghua knew it...

Her first choice is of course Chengtian - Wu Kebo has the funds, connections, and Japanese benzene channels to complete the production process, and he will immediately be the first in the industry!

As for Tianmei Media…

Ability to produce scripts…

In other words, there is Shen Xudong!

But he’s the only one…

But Wang Jinghua knew that Shen Xudong had already established connections in the Beijing circle and had endless potential...

So, she contacted Gao Fenfen and offered to come and help.

Then...I was declined!

Gao Fenfen’s original words: ‘Sister Hua, our temple is too small to accommodate your giant Buddha! ’

Everyone has said this, what can Wang Jinghua do?

Should I contact Shen Xudong?

Okay, I did get in touch...

It was Director Chen who contacted her and called her by the way...

…

Restaurant, quiet private room.

Chen Daoming was chatting with Wang Jinghua. In fact, Chen Daoming was the first artist Wang Jinghua brought. He started as an assistant. At that time, Chen Daoming was already a senior actor in the industry and faced many business and interpersonal interactions. Because of her own thoughts, she was often scolded by Director Chen, but she never made excuses. Instead, she would patiently summarize her problems and try not to fall down on the same problem twice.

It was also Chen Daoming's suggestion that Wang Jinghua set up his own business and opened a brokerage company. Of course, the premise was that Chen Daoming followed him!

Well, Black Sea Red Sun Agency.

Later, Hu Jun, Xia Yu, Ren Quan, Li Lianhua, Fan Bingbing...

Ace agent!

However, what they are discussing now is the release of "Witness".

"Director Han told me to prepare for release in August and try to avoid those Hollywood blockbusters!"

There are three blockbusters in July: "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "War of the Worlds", and "Batman Is Born"...

Oh, and "Seven Swords"...

Wang Jinghua immediately asked: "Then did he say the box office forecast?"

"...Hard to say, he is estimated to be over 80 million..."

"That's not bad..."

Wang Jinghua is very satisfied...

Chen Daoming said: "If "Witness" exceeds 80 million, Shen Xudong will really become a cash cow..."

"He already is..."

Director Chen: "Then what I told you, cooperate with his company..."

Wang Jinghua sighed: "Their boss refused!"

"Refuse? Why refuse?"

"...She said that their company only has 50 people in total, and they have no plans to expand..."

Director Chen frowned...

If you are not prepared to expand the scale, this will be difficult to handle!

Just as he was talking, the door was pushed open, and Shen Xudong walked in. He raised his eyes and smiled: "Teacher Chen...Sister Hua is here too. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something."

Director Chen looked at him and immediately laughed: "Did you get a haircut?"

"Um…"

Shen Xudong touched his scalp: "Nine millimeter caliper head, isn't it handsome?"

"It's too short...a bit close to bald..."

"It saves me having to get up and comb my hair every morning!"

Shen Xudong sat down indifferently, and then asked: "Teacher Chen, Sister Hua... why did you think of coming to see me?"

"Celebrating the success of your two films!"

"…haha, thank you!"

Shen Xudong picked up the tea cup and touched it with Director Chen...

"What do you want to eat, be careful..."

"Then I'll just let it go..."

Shen Xudong took the menu and ordered a few dishes with both meat and vegetables...

"You are so awesome. I heard that these two films have become a craze across Asia..."

"They are all promotional releases. The more you publish them, the more people will start talking about them. Back then, the box office of "Hero" in Asia exceeded 100 million US dollars, and not many people said anything..."
