Chapter 348 "The Strange Detective of the Republic of China"

There are so many stories from the Republic of China period that can be adapted!

Eight Mysterious Cases in Tianjin, Twelve Mysterious Cases in Shanghai...

"My idea is to connect these strange cases together... Two detectives, one has returned from studying in the West and knows a lot about numerology and criminal investigation, and the other is a native of a family of police officers..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong added: "...There must be someone who can fight..."

"A threesome?"

"Well, let's use "The Case of the Floating Corpse in Haihe River" as the first case... When I read this information, I was shocked!"

The director nodded: "The case of the floating corpse in Haihe River... that's okay too!"

The case of the floating corpse in the Haihe River is a very famous case. Almost everyone who has some memory of folklore knows this case. It is the floating corpse in the Haihe River...

Many people said it was a water ghost seeking life or something, and some people said he was taking opium...

The truth of the matter is that the Japanese and Japanese invaders stationed in Tianjin built the Hedongdong Bureau Barracks and later the Limingzhuang Barracks in Jindong. For this purpose, the Japanese army recruited a large number of Chinese laborers to build turrets and fortifications.

Most of these workers were from poor people in Hebei and Shandong. During the construction of the fortifications, a large number of workers were overwhelmed and died of illness or starvation. In order to conceal the truth, the Japanese hired local gang members and threw the dead workers into the Haihe River.

The more you throw away, the more they gather together!

Later, after the barracks was completed, the Japanese were worried that military secrets would be leaked and refused to pay their wages, so they colluded with local gangs in Tianjin to kill and kill the workers, taking away their money, stripping off their clothes, and then dumping their bodies in the Haihe River...

Only a few corpses floated up. The Japanese and Ben people threw their corpses into the Haihe River every day. The corpses thrown away at night had flowed into the Bohai Sea by the next morning...

"How about a name?"

"Let's call it "The Strange Detective of the Republic of China" right?"

"...Okay, you write the script as soon as possible, and I will hold a script review as soon as possible after I get the script!"

"Um!"

The so-called script review is literally what it means.

It’s not like first instance or second instance...

It’s like this. Movie Channel has a strict process for acquiring movies. Movie Channel is a unit directly managed by the ministry. In order to prevent problems in every link, many links are set up to prevent manual operations.

First instance, second instance and so on.

It’s very complicated, let’s just talk about the first trial.

In this film review session, about 20 to 30 people will be randomly selected from various relevant units. After watching together, everyone will give a score together.

First of all, these thirty people are randomly selected. There is no way for anyone to influence these thirty people, because they do not know who these thirty people are in advance. Only when they arrive in the review room after receiving the notice, will they know who will be reviewing today. piece.

Moreover, everyone who reviews the film comes from various public offices, and everyone is a civil servant.

To influence thirty civil servants for a movie?

Not to mention the difficulty, the key point is not directly proportional to the income - because the movie channel collects movies, I heard that the highest quality is more than 2 million. Generally speaking, more than 1 million is normal. Only those with extremely high market response will give it. 3000000!

Many local films will send a message through the local government, requesting that the film be given to the movie channel for free, and not to go through the first trial. Movie channels will generally accept the free movies, but they still have to go through the first trial...

Shen Xudong does not need to go through this step, he has a cooperative relationship - just like "The Swordsman of Guanzhong" produced by Feng Xiaogang as the nominal director...

Because he already has enough popularity!

Of course, you still need to pay attention to the script and not go too far...

…

Farewell to the director, Shen Xudong drove Gao Fenfen home.

The two first talked about the creative issues of the script of "The Strange Case of the Republic of China".

"Because I had a lively chat with a writer a few days ago, and he is very familiar with things in Tianjin."

"Who is it?"

"My name is Zhang Muye, and my pen name is Tian Xia Ba Sing... His novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was published by us, and I also spent 2 million to buy the film and television adaptation rights!"

Gao Fenfen frowned: "You spent two million to buy the adaptation rights? Why didn't you tell me?"

Shen Xudong explained: "I bought it with Shen Haobo..."

"Hey, Shen Haobo also wants to do film and television?"

"...It's almost the same. Culture and entertainment are not separated into different families!"

Gao Fenfen no longer struggled with this, but asked: "Then do you have time to write "The Detective of the Republic of China"?"

"I wrote the first case, and Zhao Xin was very interested in these strange things about the Republic of China. When the time comes, let him take over the second case... I'm just a little worried!"

"worry about what?"

Shen Xudong said: "The cost of 2 million is still a bit too low. If you don't pay attention, you will overspend."

"That's true..."

Gao Fenfen nodded seriously and was silent for a long time, then said: "It's okay, quality is king for us. If it's not possible, we can discuss it with the director and launch it simultaneously in theaters and TV stations!"

"What can the theater chain do?"

"Why not? It's not like the movie channel has never done this before, it's just that most of the TV movies that were released in theaters did not do well at the box office!"

This is true. "Once Upon a Time in Taiwan", "My Days in France" and "Eighty-One Frames" were all based on TV movie standards when the projects were established. Later, they were upgraded...

Just release it in theaters first!

This topic ended, and we talked about actor selection. Huang Bo must have Shen Xudong’s advice, and then find a handsome guy...

"Looking for Deng Chao again?"

"Whatever, you can sign a new person!"

"...I think Zhu Awen is pretty good!"

Shen Xudong said indifferently: "Then just sign."

"Sure..." Gao Fenfen calculated: "Chen Hao, Huang Bo, Zhu Awen... still lack a girl..."

"Does Chen Xi not count?"

"Chen Xi has changed her name. She is now called Chen Zhixi and is planning to become a full-time producer!"

"Changed the name...Chen...what?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment and almost stepped on the brakes...

Gao Fenfen didn't know why: "Chen Zhixi... is there a problem?"

Shen Xudong quickly waved his hand: "No..."

I said that this girl is going to do big things at first glance. It turns out to be Chen Zhixi!

A billionaire producer!

"囧", "Pancake Man", "Detective Chinatown" series, "The Holy Love", "Send You a Little Red Flower", "Hello, Li Huanying"...

Boss level!

Gao Fenfen glanced at Shen Xudong suspiciously: "...I always feel that you are a bit strange..."

"No," Shen Xudong quickly changed the subject: "Didn't you say I wanted to hire an actress? Just accept her!"

"I think that Tong Yali is good!"

"...You can do whatever you want, but I suggest you find another one..."

"Why?"

"Don't put your eggs in one basket!"

Nonsense, because she is not easy to write!

Gao Fenfen believed what he said and nodded: "Okay, I'll go see if there is a better candidate!"

"The best age is about five years younger than Chen Hao..."

Gao Fenfen waved his hand: "I understand."

Shen Xudong continued to drive, but he was thinking about Chen Zhixi...

This woman's vision is really great. When she invested in "囧", she could say that a blind cat meets a dead mouse. "Pancake Man" and "Detective Chinatown" are her vision!

Especially "Detective Chinatown"...

Chen Sicheng had a very bad reputation at that time. She abandoned Xu Zheng and joined Chen Sicheng...

No, if Chen Zhixi joins the company, what will Pan Yueming do?

Thank you for your concern. I have been in my hometown these days and it is quite quiet...
