Chapter 393 A Remake of "Journey to the West"?
This worry is unnecessary, because everything is delivered on stage according to the procedures.
Shen Xudong was not part of the process at all. He was sitting in the audience, sitting at the same table as Zhu Awen and Lu Fangsheng...
Zhu Awen and Lu Fangsheng were both in the cast of "The Great Butler" that Shen Xudong auditioned for and then joined.
They were quite familiar with each other, but they were a little reserved when facing Shen Xudong.
It's normal. In "Housekeeper", he is the investor and producer, and he will still be their boss in the future!
No matter how undeliberate it is, others will still have scruples.
But he's quite right in his sense of proportion, so we're talking about it.
"The Aviator is going to Venice in a while. Are you two free to go?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Okay, I'll take you two with me when the time comes..."
They also appeared in "The Aviator".
We have agreed that for the scenes we will shoot at home, of course we will use our own people!
"Boss, don't you need to follow us to promote "Witness"?"
"I have finished all the promotional work I should do before the release...and I can't steal the headlines from director Er Dongsheng, so forget it!"
Well, with the release of "Witness by All", Er Dongsheng's popularity rose rapidly.
He has a fiery temper and loves to tell the truth.
For example, when a reporter questioned that "the court trial scene was not rigorous enough," he directly responded, "This is a movie, not a textbook, not a documentary. Good-looking is the most important thing!" ’
Some media questioned "plagiarism of the plot", and Er Dongsheng cursed, "This kind of story itself is cliché, can't it be used for reference?" ’
Some media asked him, "How does it feel that "Witness" has exceeded the box office of "Seven Swords" at the box office?" He replied, "Xu is a director I respect very much, but the combination of actors in "Seven Swords" is not very balanced. The best performers were Sun Honglei, Zhang Jingchu, and even the Korean actress Kim So Yeon. Their brilliance completely overshadowed the others. The worst performers among them are the Hong Kong actors. They are not serious, attentive, and can't let go of their airs. The gap is too big. ’
By the way, he also scolded Wang Jing - Wang Jing's "Little Fish and Flowers" is currently being released!
A reporter asked him what he thought of Wang Jing, and he said directly: "Actually, I have no objection to Wang Jing's work, the audience needs it.
But some people say that Feng Xiaogang is the Wang Jing of Mainland China. I think this is exalting Wang Jing. I don’t think any director would put something in a film that he doesn’t agree with. Therefore, if you shoot something vulgar, it means that the director is inherently vulgar. This is very simple. "
Walking headlines!
Oh, this is Liu Yifei’s birthday party...
After the process was completed, it was finally time to sing the birthday song. A group of people stood up and applauded...
Celebrating Crystal Princess, Feiyue is 18…
However, Liu Yifei’s birthday is obviously August 25th, why does Mao celebrate his birthday on August 17th?
The smell of publicity was too strong—the president of Sony Music Japan’s headquarters came here.
But Liu Yifei was very happy - Yahuazi never closed her eyes!
…
There were still many acquaintances of Shen Xudong at the scene, such as Zhang Jizhong.
Shen Xudong walked over with a smile: "Uncle Zhang..."
"Xudong is here too!"
Shen Xudong chuckled: "Why don't I have nothing to do!"
"Nothing to do? Then I'll give you a work by Jin Yong..."
Shen Xudong quickly declined: "No, I can't finish the projects in my hand..."
Zhang Jizhong sighed: "I knew you didn't want to accept it! Are you not interested in martial arts?"
"No, I completed the adaptation of Gu Long's "Meteor Butterfly Sword" some time ago!"
"Whose drama?"
"China Television and Huace..."
"oh…"
Zhang Jizhong nodded: "Gu Long's drama is not easy to adapt!"
"So, I chose the not-so-well-known "Meteor Butterfly Sword"!"
"...Are you still regretting "The Two Proud Twos"?"
"Absolutely not!"
Changing the subject: "Uncle Zhang, when will "The Condor" be broadcast?"
“It won’t be until March next year at the earliest!”
"...Is it so difficult to do it later?"
"Slow work leads to careful work!"
"Haha, it seems that Uncle Zhang is very confident in "The Condor"!"
Zhang Jizhong smiled, then lowered his voice: "Does Xudong have any ideas about "Journey to the West"?"
Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly: "...I don't dare to have any ideas..."
"...I'm going to remake "Journey to the West"...are you interested?"
"I'd better forget it...I'm not interested in challenging."
Shen Xudong decisively declined...
Zhang Jizhong said to himself: "It's not that that version of "Journey to the West" was not good, but the technical conditions at the time were limited, so Director Yang Jie could only make it like that after all his efforts. Now that the conditions are better, I still hope to make it A better "Journey to the West" is coming, and it can't be so simple..."
“…”
Shen Xudong listened and never disturbed.
Just at this time, Huang Xiaoming came over, and Shen Xudong hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Jizhong: "...Uncle Zhang, let's talk next time..."
…
Zhang Jizhong's version of "Journey to the West"...
It comes at the right time. Recently, there are endless news that the four major masterpieces will be re-filmed.
However, it was Zhang Jizhong who was planning to remake "Three Kingdoms" at the beginning, but Gao Xixi took the job;
Lao Zhang paid attention to "Journey to the West"...
Shen Xudong watched two episodes of Zhang Jizhong's version of "Journey to the West" and then stopped watching it - a fairy tale, no matter what connotation you want to sell, the word "good-looking" is the most fundamental. Immortals must have the spirit of immortality, gods and Buddhas must have treasures and solemnity, the fairy world must be surrounded by fairy spirit, and fairies must be graceful and dignified. For male monsters, you can dress up to be ugly, but for female monsters, you have to be able to confuse all living beings...
Whether it's a convention or a stereotype, that's what it has to be!
The looks of several actors in your "Journey to the West" are so ugly, yet you say they are consistent with the original work...
Who is watching?
By the way, let me tell you something. Initially, Zhang Jizhong’s version was called the Zhejiang version of Journey to the West. After it was broadcast, Zhejiang TV urgently asked Cheng Lidong to lead a team to film a version of Journey to the West, starring Fei Zhenxiang and Chen Sihan. It barely wiped away the reputation of the Zhejiang version of Journey to the West...
Make your attitude clear: don’t get involved!
Although Cheng Lidong's version was just like that, at least there were no complaints...
Shen Xudong is simply desperate for Zhang Jizhong's aesthetics.
This is a TV series, at least it should be suitable for all ages. The four masters and disciples must dress up according to the original work. The appearance of Sun Wukong is simply scary!
And...the actresses chosen...
Let’s talk about the fairies who came to pick peaches in the first two episodes. They are not fairies at all. They are simply more frivolous than Sister Yao...
Some people say that Zhang Jizhong's "Journey to the West" is still qualified and has many highlights...
Haha, qualified? Highlight?
Due to the special status of the Four Great Classics, passing is considered failing, and you must get 90 points to be considered decent.
Is Shen Xudong sure?
He was very confident that even if Zhang Jizhong let him go and let him take charge of the script, production, coordination, art, and even casting, he wouldn't be able to achieve 90%!
After all, where can I find so many beautiful girls? Director Yang Jie said, "No matter what kind of girl you are, you have to be beautiful." Go to the theater troupe to find beautiful girls, go to a larger place to find beautiful girls, whether you are a fairy or a fairy, you have to find beautiful girls. ’
No answer, no answer...
