Chapter 370 A Big Change of Roles
The first generation fan economy practitioner, ordinary bad movies like "Slam Dunk" can earn 100 million at the box office!
"The Tomb", a super bad movie that can go down in history, actually took more than 60 million yuan, and the project was still profitable - 28 advertisements were inserted...
Taking advantage of his popularity in the music scene, he spent all kinds of money.
"Rooftop Love" is a typical show that relies on its fan base to have people pay for the tickets. It’s so fun to hook up with a beautiful woman and then be a hero and save her...
There is no acting skills...
Many Taiwanese artists whose main business is pop music will appear in some local idol dramas from time to time, and often play the leading role. We watch them with gusto...
It doesn't make much sense to discuss Jie Lun's acting skills.
In fact, except for Fujiwara Takumi in "Initial D", most people don't even remember the name of the character he plays!
The key point is that even if Shen Xudong wants to invite him, he may not be able to!
The directors they have worked with are all top-notch directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, including "Initial D" starring Liu Weiqiang and Mak Siu-fai; "The City of Gold" directed by Ah Mou; and "Slam Dunk" is the only blockbuster film in Taiwan. Director Zhu Yanpin!
Shen Xudong is far behind...
Don’t think about it anymore, just write a new book!
"Dwelling" should be released in July, at the same time as Guo Jingming's "Mystery Hidden".
Shen Haobo knew that Shen Xudong had no idea to write a new novel for the time being, so he suggested that he write a few essays and then take a few novellas to form a collection, just like "The Supplementary Records"...
Shen Xudong... agreed!
Among the three novellas, there must be one martial arts novel, so "Xiu Chun Dao"!
Then for the other two, I chose "Donkey Gets Water" and "Assassination of Novelists".
The three novellas are very simple to write, after all, there are pictures!
Now I am writing essays, "A Cat Called Huangdou", "Stories Told by Grandma"...
I'm afraid two articles are not enough, I have to write something else, but the night is already deep.
…
Zhang Guoli is looking through the script of "Crazy Stone". The script is written in a multi-line narrative, shot one, shot two and so on...
He doesn't quite understand this way of writing...
But when I saw the fourth scene, Bao Shihong and Sanbao were driving a loaf of bread, and the glass was smashed by a can that fell from the sky. They got out of the car and cursed, but they didn't know that the car had slowly slid away...
He had a feeling of enlightenment!
The previous fragmentary plots are all for this shot combination...
Read on…
This time he read more carefully. After reading the script, he understood why Shen Xudong must invest in this movie!
so fun!
Martial arts films, horror films, police and gangster films, science fiction films, all types of films have certain routines, and some fixed techniques or patterns. It can also be regarded as a kind of propositional composition, following some of these routines and techniques, which is the basis of film creation. Normal operation.
But "Crazy Stone" is different. This book is so unique!
The bald boss who wanted to occupy the land of the handicraft factory, the professional thief from Hong Kong, the confident and neurotic security chief of Luohan Temple, the three sensitive and bold thieves and the son of the handicraft factory director formed a complex relationship with each other. Intricate and contradictory relationships.
There is an amazing feeling!
Don't blame him for making a fuss, in fact, many veteran directors don't know multi-line narrative...
What is narrative in Chinese films at this stage?
Even some of the great Chinese directors of Taishan Beidou can't even tell the story clearly, and the story structure has serious flaws...
But... he was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to play Bao Shihong - there are a lot of running scenes in this role, and Zhang Guoli is already 50 this year!
I really can’t stand the hassle of this version…
Can you change it a little bit?
…
"Uncle Zhang, this script is really hard to change. Look, Bao Shihong's identity is the security captain. He is about 35 years old..."
"...it's really hard to change..."
When they met, Zhang Guoli raised this issue, but Shen Xudong refused without even thinking about it. Ning Hao also stated that the script was not easy to change...
In fact, Ning Hao has changed his mind!
At first, "Stone" was called "Big Diamond". Later, the cost shrank from 5 million to 1.5 million, so the diamond could only be changed to stone...
——The diamond was stolen, at least it was at a jewelry show or something. The scene props had to be upgraded and changed to "Stones". Just find a shabby cultural center and you can take pictures!
"Forget it, my old bones are really not suitable for playing such a role..."
"I really ignored my uncle's age. You are really inappropriate..."
Zhang Guoli smiled: "You can think of me, which means you have me in your heart... In this way, I will recommend an actor to you... How about Sun Honglei?"
"Sun Honglei has agreed to play Brother Dao!" Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "If Uncle Zhang doesn't want to play, then let's find Teacher Jiang Wu!"
"...What a pity, I still want to have a show with the guide!"
"Uncle, come here and play a guest role as the factory director. The factory director and Director Chen are having a lot of scenes together!"
Zhang Guoli nodded: "It's okay, but I can only spare five days..."
Shen Xudong looked at Ning Hao: "Is that enough?"
"Ahem...that's it," Ning Hao said awkwardly: "...Teacher Xu Zheng volunteered to play the role of Director Hong."
"Xu Zheng?"
Ning Hao explained: "I originally wanted to invite Tao Hong to play Bao Shihong's wife, so I sent an email. Then Teacher Xu Zheng seemed to share an email with Teacher Tao Hong. He read the script and expressed his willingness to play the role for free..."
After hearing what he said, Shen Xudong nodded after a while: "This is discerning!"
Xu Zheng does have a vision, and he understands drama, but he just doesn’t know why he produced and produced "My Heart Is Flying"...
Well, when the project was approved, it was a sports-themed movie that fit the main theme and was an absolute hit. Unfortunately, the "456" incident involving the lead actor Meng Shan broke out...
In fact, this kind of scandal is nothing, and the government has no time to explicitly ban it. Who makes her not have a father who is a big director.
Mainly, the movie is really ugly!
Pulling back, Zhang Guoli quickly asked: "...What about the guide?"
"Teacher Chen is filming "Shajiabang" and he can't leave... I just tell him not to come!"
Ning Hao was a little nervous: "Will there be any bad effects?"
"What's the matter? Uncle Chen is here to help... I'll call and talk!"
While talking, Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone, dialed Assistant Chen Daoming's number, briefly explained the situation, asked him to tell Teacher Chen Daoming, and then hung up.
"okay…"
Putting away his mobile phone, the waiter came in to change a pot of tea. Shen Xudong suddenly thought of something: "Uncle Zhang, didn't you say you wanted to introduce someone to me?"
Zhang Guoli nodded, stretched out his wrist and looked at it: "...It's almost time, why haven't you come yet?"
"Who?"
Zhang Guoli did not answer, but said: "I am a BJ who started out in 1988. In 1989, I starred in "The Naughty Lord" and gradually established a foothold in the BJ. Do you know about "The Naughty Lord"?"
"certainly!"
"The Stubborn Lord", starring Zhang Guoli, Ge You, Liang Tian and Pan Hong, is a prequel to "Party A and Party B"... It tells the story of three unemployed young people, Yu Guan, Yang Chong and Ma Qing, who opened a "Three T Company" in BJ, specializing in... Stories about people solving problems, relieving boredom, and suffering.
"Do you know the screenwriter of "The Naughty Lord"?"
Having said that, Shen Xudong still doesn't understand who is coming later...Wang Shuo!
