Chapter 344 Why Don’t You Just Go It Alone? (44)

Shen Xudong also came with a purpose...

He knew what Chen Daoming wanted to say when he saw him. Wang Jinghua was here, so what else could he say?

It’s nothing more than building relationships…

In fact, the value of a star at this stage is more than a film and television series.

After all, film and television dramas may suffer losses, but the value of stars is still very high...

Especially those who have already mixed up!

This is called influence...

At this stage, Wang Jinghua can really be called the number one agent in domestic entertainment, with a lot of celebrities under his management.

Li Lianhua, Fan Bingbing, Hu Jun, Tong David, Ren Quan, Xia Yu, Zhou Yun, as well as Michelle Yeoh, Rosamund Kwan, Carina Lau, Sandra Ng, Liang Jiahui and other Hong Kong stars' brokerage business in the mainland...

From this perspective, if Shen Xudong is really willing, he can immediately become one of the most powerful people in domestic entertainment...

But this is only an honor on paper.

How to manage so many artists?

Who do you listen to?

The company will definitely fall into endless wrangling...

Forget it!

But...he doesn't want Wang Jinghua to lead the crowd to join Chengtian!

There is no other reason, I just don’t want Wu Kebo to be proud...

Even if he knew that there would be endless troubles, he would not be happy!

Therefore, when the topic shifted to Wang Jinghua preparing to lead everyone to leave, he answered: "Hua Yi has always pursued the strategy of 'one star, one director, one brother and one sister'.

It is true that this strategy has brought huge benefits to Huayi, but the problem is that in the strict sense, Teacher Ge and Director Feng are now more of a Lunar New Year overlord, which can guarantee that in the The right to speak on the big screen, but one brother and one sister...

Their agency contract is controlled by Sister Hua. This is impossible to tolerate! "

"Xiaogang also left Huayi!"

"...But we still maintain cooperation. Huayi has invested in "A World Without Thieves" and "Mobile Phone 2"!"

Wang Jinghua interjected: "Actually, Xia Yu and the others have been dissatisfied for a long time. Hua Yi has turned his elbows outward in the past few years - he has not assigned any roles to artists from his own company..."

"Xia Yu?"

Shen Xudong has a strange expression...

Hua Yi really has nothing to say to Xia Yu!

In the past few years, Xia Yu has starred in many good films with good reputation or good box office: "Peepshow", which ranked tenth at the box office in 2000, was nominated for seven Golden Horse Awards and won two, was shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival, and won the Golden Rooster Award and the Huabiao Award for Best Co-production. Film Awards;

"My Brothers and Sisters", ranked third at the box office in 2001;

"Kara is a Dog" ranked tenth at the box office in 2003 and was nominated for two Golden Rooster Awards;

"A Date with the Police" was nominated for six Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Film, and Xia Yu himself won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor...

In addition, there is "Waiting Alone", co-starring Li Lianhua, nominated for three Golden Rooster Awards, and shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival. It is still a memory of a whole generation of movie fans, and is considered by them to be the best youth film in China...

If you say that you have delayed others, Shen Xudong can still nod and admit it. But if you say that you have delayed Xia Yu?

Of course, Shen Xudong cannot tell the truth and continue to listen to Wang Jinghua’s complaints...

Mentioning "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", Wang Jinghua was very optimistic about this project and asked many of his actresses to compete, and then it was given to Zhao Yanzi!

Zhao Yanzi has not yet agreed to join Huayi!

…

"Are you going to join Chengtian? This is not a good idea..."

In the middle of the conversation, Wang Jinghua talked about Chengtian. Shen Xudong frowned, and then said sincerely: "As far as I know, Wu Kebo only plays capital operations! He doesn't understand film and television, and I feel like he doesn't understand capital either!"

"…how to say?"

"Why do you want to be in the entertainment industry if you understand capital? How much does the entertainment industry cost? If you really want to understand capital, you should go into finance!"

"...You said he doesn't understand film and television?"

"Um!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Because of a trivial matter, I directly withdrew the funding for "The Village Fox Wife" and "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter", including the TV series "The Best Housekeeper", and by the way, there is also "The Legend of Zhao Yun" that I promised to write before, but they didn't care about it either. !”

""The Legend of Zhao Yun"?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "To make a blockbuster, there is no one more suitable than Three Kingdoms. As long as the cost does not exceed 50 million US dollars, the Three Kingdoms of East Asia can be enough to recover the cost... Andy Lau is ready to star, and the script has been written... Do you want Mr. Chen to play Zhuge Liang?"

Director Chen shook his head: "I'd better forget it...I can't play Zhuge Kongming!"

"Who are the investors?"

"It's not decided yet... It's not time to start the project yet... At least we have to wait until "A World Without Thieves" is released..."

Wang Jinghua changed the subject: "There is Zhuang Liqi in the orange sky!"

Shen Xudong smiled: "If nothing else happens, Mr. Zhuang should leave Chengtian next month!"

"ah?"

"The longer we cooperate, the more problems we will find!" After a pause, Shen Xudong simply suggested: "Why don't Sister Hua set up an artist management company by herself?"

"Many production companies have their own people, and important roles are not mine!"

"Then you can follow CAA's lead and not only sign actors, but also directors, and directly package directors and actors together..."

"CAA?"

"The world's top artist management company, project packaging, a more vivid translation should be bundled sales.

CAA does not just help provide one or two stars for a play, but provides a complete packaging service: from project planning, to writers, screenwriters, producers, to directors, actors, everything is prepared, packaged, and Cooperating with Hollywood companies greatly enhances its bargaining power. "

Hearing this, Wang Jinghua's eyes lit up...

…

This topic ended for the time being. Director Chen asked Shen Xudong: "Do you have any recent works?"

"I have taken over the work of adapting several Gu Long novels, and I am currently writing "Meteor Butterfly Sword"..."

"Do you like martial arts that much?"

"...They gave me money, and "Meteor and Butterfly Sword" is actually based on "The Godfather"...the storyline and character settings..."

"The Godfather? Corleone?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, even many of the lines were written exactly as they were written!"

Director Chen became interested: "Tell me about it."

"...Gu Long himself wrote in "About Martial Arts", 'When I wrote "Meteor·Butterfly·Sword", I was most influenced by "The Godfather".

The book "The Godfather" has been made into a very sensational movie by Marlon Brando. The old man in "Meteor, Butterfly and Sword" is the shadow of the person in "The Godfather"...'"

"...Then I can take a look!"

Shen Xudong immediately suggested: "If Mr. Chen is interested, the old man in "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is indeed very suitable for you!"

Director Chen quickly shook his head: "I can't, I can't stand Diao Wei Ya!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, the old man in "Meteor Butterfly Sword" didn't do anything from the beginning to the end... There is no fighting plot at all!"

"...Let me read the script and then talk about it!"

Director Chen didn't refuse directly, so he asked, "Are there any movies?"

Shen Xudong said sheepishly: "...I haven't written much movie scripts recently..."

"...Is there no script suitable for me or did you not write the script?"

"Teacher Chen, I don't know how to treat you... Hey, I thought of an idea..."

Before Chen Daoming opened his mouth, Wang Jinghua immediately asked: "What idea?"

"It's a work that exposes the reasons behind bad movies..."
