Chapter 425 Don’t Get Involved!

It’s rare for a blockbuster movie to be criticized by everyone as soon as it’s released…

I'm talking about online.

In the Tianya Entertainment section, there is a serious post: "The Promise": highlights and shortcomings.

A bunch of people commented below: Is there anything interesting about this crappy movie? The whole plot is seriously problematic! Zhang looked like a temptress and Xie looked like a lunatic in the play. The most unbearable thing was that at the beginning there were two foreigners speaking in broken Chinese!

Promise = boring, no matter how beautiful the shots are, they can't make a bad movie.

There are also some media that praise it as "magnificent and comparable to "The Lord of the Rings"", "a gorgeous and heavy blockbuster", "a beautiful hymn" and so on.

After it was released, word-of-mouth came out, and there are still opinions: for example, "The Beijing News" praised ""The Promise" is a pioneering experimental film..."

Do you want face?

Use more than 300 million for experiments?

Hollywood wouldn’t even dare to do this!

There are also some media boasting: "The Promise" defined the rules of blockbusters in this period!

Yes, "The Promise" has indeed made a huge contribution to Chinese cinema. After "The Promise", Chinese movies have set a benchmark: anything uglier than "The Promise" must be the worst among bad movies.

Of course, these did not stop the popularity of "The Promise": it earned 74.52 million in its first week of release!

In four days, "The Promise" broke many records for Chinese films.

Blockbuster of the year, Asia’s top lineup, $35 million…

The poetry-reciting master has been preparing for "The Promise" for three years. His goal is to surpass A Mou's "Hero", and he has put all his energy into promoting it.

On television, magazines, newspapers, including portals, high-class people can be seen everywhere.

The overwhelming publicity and of course the strong film schedule.

With so many conditions put together, it would be outrageous not to break a record in the first weekend!

Shen Xudong deliberately avoided the Lunar New Year festival this year...

There is no review for "The Promise" either...

He didn't dare to provoke the little master of poetry.

A popular idol sleeps with a woman and is photographed. What is this called? House collapsed!

The person who collapsed the house was either someone who went in and used a sewing machine, or there is no such person in the entertainment industry.

If it were his son, it wouldn't be a big deal...

Keep being the big star he is!

What is this called?

This is how a superior person is treated!

So, don't mock others, they are telling the truth.

However, while he was hiding and not commenting, "The Promise" took the initiative to come closer.

——The adaptation of "The Promise" is hand-in-hand with the post-80s generation, and the top three votes will be selected by experts.

Oh, specifically, it is the adaptation of the novel version of "The Promise".

Following the example of "Super Girl", there was a talent show, and then Shen Xudong won the first place in the online voting...

Shen Xudong was speechless. No, why did you list my name on it?

Did I agree?

Oh, Shen Xudong is currently imagining a new work - a work that combines myths and legends, "Buddha is the Tao"!

…

"Buddha" is really a wonderful book. For the first time, someone has mixed Journey to the West with the Classic of Mountains and Seas and other myths and legends to create a complete prehistoric world!

When I was following the serialization, I was really dumbfounded. That kind of passionate feeling is completely incomparable to watching an imaginary world.

The key point is that the theory of "Buddha" has really been integrated into our country's folk beliefs.

If it had been born thousands of years earlier, it would have been possible for it to be integrated into religious stories and inspire a group of beliefs.

Shen Haobo didn't have much interest in this setting. He only knew that Shen Xudong was going to write a fairy tale...

Well, when Shen Haobo saw the four characters "Buddha is the Tao", his eyes lit up. This title is interesting!

There will definitely be protests!

"Tsk, tsk, you actually dare to give such a title, aren't you afraid?"

"...You will know after reading the outline I wrote!"

Shen Haobo glanced through it, and the more he read the back, the more frightened he became: "...How dare you write this?"

"What's wrong?"

"If you write like this, you will definitely be scolded!"

"Buddha" too much belittles the immortals and Buddhas. All the gods and Buddhas in the sky are sanctimonious, and even Yuanshi Laozi is not worthy of his position. On the contrary, some demons had true temperament and overturned the case for Jie Jiao...

"Swear..."

Shen Xudong shrugged: "I'm not afraid of them!"

Shen Haobo said with a serious face: "You don't have to be afraid, but you can't disrespect..."

Shen Xudong has never been controversial, and Shen Haobo doesn't intend to let him be controversial!

"...If you insist on writing, you can also use a pen name!"

"is this necessary?"

"...You really have never experienced a severe beating. Let me tell you, if you use your real name, this book might be banned!"

Shen Xudong... could only nod: "You have the final say..."

"...I'm doing this for your own good..."

Shen Haobo took out a remittance slip: "Here you are, 4.8 million..."

"What the hell?"

"Overseas royalties!"

"…so tall?"

Shen Xudong happily accepted the remittance order.

It's like this. "The Best in the World" and "Zhu Xian" were published in Japan and Latin America, and they sold well...

"I agree with you writing about immortal heroes, but you can't take too big a step... Do you know how many people are staring at you now!"

"...I just want to combine the mythological systems of "Feng Shen", "Journey to the West", "Shu Mountain" and so on..."

Shen Haobo expressed his understanding: "Then you can use a pen name..."

"OK…"

Shen Xudong stood up to leave, and then Shen Haobo said: "The novel version of "The Promise"..."

"I won't answer. I watched the movie "The Promise" and it was terrible..."

"Okay, let me reject it for you. Just say that you have to write a new novel and don't have time to take it?"

"…Okay, be polite."

…

There is a talent show for all the crap!

"The Promise" is not a piece of cake...

Shen Xudong didn't end up editing "A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" and didn't comment on "The Promise" in public, which was enough to give the young poetry master face.

Do you still want him to write a novel version?

Pooh!

In the entertainment industry, there are many things that you don’t want to mess with, but they find you!

Just like now, Shen Xudong was stopped by a group of reporters just after he parked his car.

When he came to the company to meet Song Zuer, it was considered an audition...

The media heard the news and rushed over: "Xudong, I heard that you rejected the novel adaptation of "The Promise"? Why?"

"...I'm not interested, and I'm not good at fantasy writing... It's not that Guo Jingming took over writing novels. It's good now!"

"Then have you watched "The Promise"?"

"…Look!"

"Many netizens say it is a bad movie, what do you think?"

"...I can't understand it, but I was shocked!" As soon as he said this, the reporter couldn't hold back and laughed out loud: "This is the same way you evaluated "Seven Swords" before!"

"Don't make blind reports. Poetry Master is a director I respect very much. His works are very profound... It's normal that I can't understand them!"

A man wearing glasses said: "Then why does everyone say it's a bad movie?"

Shen Xudong explained casually: "I, a professional screenwriter, can't understand it, and ordinary netizens certainly can't understand it... The announcement of "The Promise" clearly stated that it is a commercial blockbuster. If you are a commercial film, the entire audience will not be able to understand it. The audience will not be able to understand it." If your movie-watching expectations are not met, you will definitely be scolded!"

No, I said too much!

Shen Xudong quickly stopped him: "Stop writing... I've been hiding all these days just because I'm afraid you'll ask me about my feelings about watching movies..."

The reporter wearing glasses said: "It's okay, I heard them say that "A World Without Thieves" may be released in advance!"

"...Huh? I don't even know, where did you get the news?"
