In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 355 Declined

"The term "Tou Mingzhuan" originated from the condition Lin Chong went up the mountain in "Water Margin", and Wang Lun, a scholar in white, set him up - to exchange the lives of others for brotherhood. In essence, they are large or small interest groups. A way to maintain one’s own stability…”

Chen Kexin waved her hand: "I have been in Hong Kong for half my life, and I know a lot about voting certificates... But to be honest, I am not very interested in this type of movie. I still prefer realism-themed things!"

"Give me an example."

"I quite like "The Lost Orphan", but the story is a bit lacking..."

"The anti-trafficking theme itself is story-telling enough..."

Chen Kexin has not suffered the setback of "If Love"... nor does she understand the cruelty of the mainland market...

I don’t want to make a blockbuster film for the time being.

Don't worry, I believe he will wake up after experiencing this year's Lunar New Year!

It would be a pity that a movie like "The Proposal" was not born...

Personally, I feel that "The War" is by far the best blockbuster since "Hero" ushered in the era of Chinese blockbusters. Of course, the war scenes are indeed a bit turbulent and require a more experienced executive director...

Qin Hong changed the topic: "We at Xingmei are very optimistic about "Yin Yang Town"!"

"...You can just discuss this with Mr. Gao... The script of "Yin Yang Town" is already complete, and I can't think of a better way to end it!"

Chen Kexin has obviously read the script and commented: "It feels a bit revealing..."

Shen Xudong smiled: "There is no way, the second half must explain the previous things, after all, this is a rule..."

"Yin Yang Town", as a suspense mystery movie, many plots are not rigorous enough and there are many loopholes, but as a fable, it is still not bad!

The plot is very simple. The mayor of Yin-Yang Town tells everyone that the outside world is in dire straits, so those who want to get out will all die in strange and horrific ways;

At the end of the story, the truth is revealed. The mayor was actually a bandit. He did many evil things in his early years, but he wanted to be a god and Buddha, to be respected and worshiped by everyone, so he created those visions, ghosts and disasters;

Of course, there are also horror elements: paper dots, ghosts betting on lives, and of course the anecdotes of the coffin shop owner, the legend of the temple on a rainy night, and the story of a paper wife...

After all, it is a horror film, so there must be elements of horror!

Gao Fenfen interjected: "I heard them say that "Yin Yang Town" can start filming a sequel. The two male protagonists themselves are set up according to the attributes of detectives..."

Qin Hong immediately looked at Shen Xudong: "Really?"

Shen Xudong nodded and admitted: "Well, the script for the next "Longyun Town Ghost Story" is almost ready!"

"…That…"

Gao Fenfen interjected: "As for whether the project will be pushed forward or not, it depends on the market feedback of "Yin Yang Town"!"

By the way, he added: "Actually, Tang Ren made horror films because of a lack of funds. The biggest feature of horror films is low cost and relatively stable income... When we first made "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter", we wanted to sell them. The TV rights and overseas rights will almost be paid back..."

Chen Kexin interjected: "It's still hard for me to believe that a movie was made for less than 4 million!"

"Our scenes are simple, and the actors are all cheap!"

Regarding "Yin Yang Town", Shen Xudong has already discussed with Gao Fenfen and will not be the screenwriter...

Originally, Qiu Litao and Liu Xiaoguang were both filmmakers with representative works, and the script of "Yin Yang Town" was already well-written, although it was not a split-shot script - he had nothing wrong with him, so why would he write a split-shot script for them?

There is nothing to modify.

Anyone with a little basic knowledge of directing can produce such a script...

He is a screenwriter in name only!

Although Gao Fenfen thought it was best not to fall out with Xingmei at first, she was persuaded by Shen Xudong's words: "If you refuse to be a screenwriter, then fall out?" We are cooperating, not joining! ’

She thinks it's quite right...

However, according to specific negotiations, she retained the production rights for the second part of "Yin Yang Town Ghost Story", which is "Long Yun Town Ghost Story"...

Well, Gao Fenfen is ready to train his own director team!

Tianmei Company has money and scripts, so there is no reason why it cannot train directors...

Shen Xudong didn't care about the specific content of the discussion. He and Chen Kexin talked about romance movies for a while...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two said goodbye and left.

In the car, Gao Fenfen asked Shen Xudong about his packed schedule, and the latter answered casually: "I'm going home to write a script..."

"You have a new script?"

"...Ah, yes, it's called "Snow Leopard"..."

"Snow Leopard"? Hearing the title, Gao Fenfen was surprised: "When did you become interested in animals?"

"It's not an animal... it's 'Snow Leopard Commando', an anti-Japanese drama!"

"ah?"

Gao Fenfen was speechless: "How can you write an anti-war drama?"

"What's wrong with the Anti-Japanese War drama? The main theme, it's easy to review, and you don't have to worry about the broadcast platform... you're guaranteed to make money without losing any money!"

"The problem is that the market for anti-war dramas is limited, and the ratings are not good!" Although Gao Fenfen's recent work focus has shifted to movies, he still knows a little about the situation in the TV drama circle.

Shen Xudong simply told the truth: "...you know "Bright Sword", right?"

"I know, Du Liang's novel, Hai Run won the adaptation rights, good guy, "Blood Romance" + "Bright Sword", the adaptation rights for the two novels are 1.5 million..."

This thing is very famous!

Because the price tag of 1.5 million for adaptations generally only belongs to the top group of people, such as Haiyan and Shen Xudong. Haiyan and Shen Xudong are already gold-branded names, but Duliang is a complete newcomer to the film and television industry, and he dares to ask such a high price!

However, Hairun was also decisive, 1.5 million was 1.5 million, and he won it directly.

Therefore, although the two works "Bright Sword" and "Blood Romance" have not been aired yet, they are already very famous in the industry.

"When "Bright Sword" is aired, you will realize how terrible this drama is...it will revive the anti-war dramas!"

Gao Fenfen slapped his thigh: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Well, her trust in Shen Xudong was already a bit blind. She didn't even ask about Shen Xudong's basis for judgment and just believed it!

"…What?"

"If you had told me earlier, I would have taken it..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Sister, "Bright Sword" 02 was won by Hairun... Also, next time you pat your thighs, remember to pat your own!"

Gao Fenfen still sighed: "Then we can also jointly produce it!"

""Snow Leopard" won't be too bad... And you want to sign Zhu Awen, give him the leading actor in this movie... Duyler, and that Lu Fangsheng, he studied abroad in Japan and is proficient in Japanese. , you can play the villain!"

"...You created it based on "Bright Sword"?"

"No, I read a novel called "Special Warfare Pioneer" online, bought the adaptation rights, and adapted it myself!"

"Are the novels on the Internet reliable?"
