Chapter 409 "Myth" Premiere
Director, it hasn’t spread yet!
In later generations, many actors turned to directors - because the profession of director has no threshold, and the crew felt that they could be directors even after staying on the set for two years...
Of course, there are also some who have real material, but due to lack of opportunities, they have no choice but to turn into directors and direct and act on their own...
But most of them are unprofessional.
Domestic entertainment circles like multi-dimensional development the most. It is not enough to say that you are a three-dimensional star. You can't wait to be a ten-dimensional star!
This is unprofessional status.
The director...is just terrible...
But not yet.
Commercialization has just begun, and many people's ideas have not changed - the system of the state-owned factory period, the director's responsibility system!
In the past, we didn’t have producers, only studios.
He is only responsible for giving money. Everyone is working for the country. The so-called producer is actually the director or director of a large studio. This is an administrative position. The real level of filmmaking is definitely not as good as our readers. , and they rarely go to the set.
All rights are delegated to the director, director-centered system~
Followed to this day.
Of course, when the media promotes a movie, the director is usually emphasized...
Including "The Aviator"...
After all, the three most admired movies in Europe are all auteur films...
But in fact, "The Aviator" involves actor selection, genre and style selection, budget control, and team formation, all the way to shooting, post-production, and even business, marketing, and distribution.
It's all Shen Xudong who has the final say!
So...why does he want to be a director?
However, Shen Xudong was very unhappy with being asked this question all the time. He simply explained on his blog what the production-centered system and the director-centered system are...
…
When "The Myth" premieres, Shen Xudong will definitely go. He and Jackie Chan are also in a cooperative relationship.
By the way, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is scheduled to be released on July 14 next year - the only domestic blockbuster in the summer.
Jackie Chan..."Baby Project" has been launched!
Sometimes I really admire him, it feels like he is either making a movie or on the road to making a movie, and he is still rumored to have affairs with so many female stars...
Jackie Chan attaches great importance to "Myth", and his goal is very clear: the box office will exceed 100 million!
Liang Chaowei has exceeded 100 million, Andy Lau has also exceeded 100 million, Zhou Xingchi has exceeded 100 million, and even Liang Jiahui has exceeded 100 million...
Jackie Chan, eldest brother Cheng, if you don’t have a movie that makes more than 100 million yuan, where can you put your face?
He was with Chen Hao...
There is also Chen Xi!
Originally, the company wanted to help Chen Hao win the role of "Baby Project", but Chen Hao himself didn't want to star in it. After all, being an actress in "Baby Project" was not challenging.
Anyway, I will join the cast of "Yun Shui Yao" at the end of the year, and there will also be "Ru Yu Zhuan".
Forget it, she just doesn't want to have anything to do with Jackie Chan...
After all, the eldest brother has a good reputation!
In the car, Shen Xudong looked through the box office report in his hand - within six days of its release, "The Aviator" had a cumulative box office of 11.6 million, including nearly 3.7 million in BJ, 3.2 million in Shanghai, and 2.6 million in Guangdong...
Chen Xi was a little regretful: "Given another week, it will definitely exceed 15 million, and it will set a new box office record for domestic literary and artistic films!"
Oh, currently, the box office record for domestic literary films is 14.8 million - set by "Outstanding Citizen".
Shen Xudong is very open-minded: "Do you really expect a literary film to sell 20 million? "Sanchakou" only sold 11 million."
"Aren't we looking for your record of box office success?"
"...It is difficult for literary films to sell well, and the schedule is only 8 days..." Shen Xudong put down the box office report in his hand, glanced at Chen Hao, and then said: ""Yun Shui Yao" should win the Hundred Flowers Award...the Academy Award. How can we win the Golden Horse Award?"
"…You ask me?"
"Yes...what kind of role do you want to play?"
While the Golden Horse and Golden Statues haven't become demons in the past two years, if you can win prizes, do so as soon as possible.
"...I can do either."
Chen Xi interjected: "It's up to you. You have to write a character that can win an award!"
"...I...Okay, I'll think about it..."
…
Chen Hao is the first sister of the company and Shen Xudong's boss. Shen Xudong always praises her in public and private matters...
Triple Gold Slam…
It’s a bit difficult!
It's okay to say that the Academy Awards are fine. In the following years, domestic actresses won the awards. With a good work and the necessary public relations, it shouldn't be difficult to win the award.
How to get a golden horse?
How to get golden rooster?
The choice of theme is very important...
How about another one with an anti-trafficking theme?
"Honey"?
It’s not impossible…
By the way, "Dear" can still compete for the golden rooster. Anyway, the next one will be a double-yolked egg. Add one more to form a three-yolked egg, which is not much different!
Ok, deal…
In fact, in the play "Carol", Gao Fenfen asked if Chen Hao could also star in it.
This is really hard to do. After all, Chen Hao and Gong Li are both romantic types. Both of them are suitable to play queens, but they are not suitable for little white flowers...
By the way, the script of "Carol" has been approved. Kristine Wachen was very satisfied and directly paid 200,000 US dollars for the scriptwriting fee. As expected, the filming funds were not enough. Then Shen Xudong introduced Gao Fenfen to join the project, and now it is Negotiating…
Kristine Wachen is not very willing to accept Gao Fenfen's entry, because... "Carol" cannot be released in the mainland!
In other words, Gaofenfen has neither market resources nor issuance resources...it is purely an investor.
But...if Christine Wa Chen doesn't accept funds from China, she won't be able to attract investment. After all, Killer Film Company's last movie "Homeland" lost millions!
Few American investors dared to invest in her.
How to talk about it specifically is not something Shen Xudong can solve...
The three of them have arrived at the premiere of "Myth".
…
In fact, "Myth" is not bad, but the publicity campaign is too big.
The theme song, "Beautiful Myth" was sung by Han Hong and Sun Nan, and there were also versions by Jackie Chan and Kim Hee Sun, which raised expectations~
As a result, a movie with an 80-point score is suddenly regarded as a 100-point movie, and then the shortcomings are infinitely magnified, and few people talk about the advantages!
When Jackie Chan made "The Myth", he was planning a transformation. The movie itself was an emotional skill that both sides wanted to take advantage of, and then neither side did a good job.
Kung fu comedies mainly focus on modern dramas, while sensational passages mainly focus on ancient dramas. The transition between the two is very abrupt.
One second it was modern fun and slapstick, just like any other movie, and the next second it switched to ancient tragic scenes of loyalty to the king and the country. After a while, the solemn and solemn atmosphere became slightly more solemn, and then suddenly it jumped back to the modern drama...
So, even if I look back now, I already know that this is a good movie, but when I really open it and watch it, I always want to fast forward...
According to Shen Xudong's point of view, the movie is anticlimactic and ends in a hurry. For whatever reason, it suddenly falls into sage mode.
The length is still too short...
In addition, Ok Soo, played by Kim Hee Sun, said to Meng Yi: Go away, you are not my Meng Yi...
In fact, we should arrange for the male protagonist to fly there as well. If we can’t live together, then we should die together!
Well, maybe the tragedy is more touching...
It's already good, at least it's not like "Kung Fu Yoga", the finale, dancing with the villain...
