Chapter 429 "Steamed Buns"

Chapter 429 "Steamed Buns"...

The origin of the parody video is generally believed to be "Da Shi Ji".

In 2002, a game created by CCTV insiders, "The Great Historian" is based on classic movies such as "The Devil Is Coming", "Teahouse", "Speak Well" and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", and re-edited and dubbed the movies. Become.

In 2003, there were no spoof videos worth mentioning...

At the end of 2004, the popular online video "Shocking Mobile vs. China Unicom" entered the public eye.

The film closely follows current events and focuses on the mobile phone business which is indispensable to modern people. The video incorporates classic films such as "Tang Bohu Spots Qiuxiang", "Infernal Affairs", "My Sassy Girl", "The Matrix" and "Mobile Phone", boldly satirizing China Mobile's communication quality.

In 2005, the most popular thing was actually the boy from the back room...

He imitated the Backstreet Boys' classic songs with exaggerated expressions and gained huge hits. Later, he signed with Wheatfield Records and entered the entertainment industry. One of the members, Huang Yixin, later participated in many variety shows, movies, and TV series.

There is also a Qiang double evil spirit, whose representative works include "The Legend of the White Snake" and "The Spell of Love". One of the members, the Qiang small evil spirit, is Yang Di, who is now active in major variety shows.

Then, "Steamed Buns" appeared!

"Steamed Buns" is a ceiling for spoof videos!

You can actually play like this?

Even now, the expression techniques of "Steamed Buns" are still not outdated, and many techniques are still widely used in the ghost and animal area of ​​Station B.

A groundbreaking work.

"How dare you chat here!"

"Hey, how dare you rap in court!"

Director Feng laughed out loud after watching "Steamed Buns": "Who... is this person? He's so talented!"

"A netizen named Hu Ge heard that he didn't feel very good after watching "The Promise"... he wrote a review of the film, 'It's okay as a director, but not as good as a screenwriter'... No one paid attention, so I cut this paragraph... Now, it has been circulated on the Internet!”

"It's spread? Are there many people watching it?"

"A lot..." Shen Xudong explained: "I just had time to go online at night, and some netizens sent me links, and I saw it..."

Hearing what Shen Xudong said, Feng Xiaogang was surprised: "Then...is this illegal?"

"It should be counted... because the things he edited were basically pirated discs... but he didn't make a dime from "Steamed Buns"... but it was a vehicle for criticism, which is essentially a film review!"

It is generally believed that the most controversial aspect of "Steamed Buns" is the way in which the materials were obtained.

If "Steamed Buns" had obtained the material by purchasing DVDs after the film was released, then there would be no problem in re-creating it later.

But... Hu Ge's editing of "Steamed Buns" was not for the purpose of profit, but just disdain for "The Promise"...

Then there is no problem!

You write a movie review, it has great influence, is it illegal?

Director Feng looked at Shen Xudong thoughtfully: "You overestimate some people!"

"Then it's none of my business. If he wants to sue, I will help Hu Ge pay the legal fees!"

"ah?"

"Praise is meaningless if criticism is not free!"

"You…"

Director Feng was about to say something more when Huang Zhonglei and Ge You walked in: "What are you talking about?"

"Brother Xiaolei, look at this..."

Shen Xudong took "Steamed Buns" over...

Huang Zhonglei curiously took over the computer and clicked on "A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun"...

After about twenty minutes, he turned off the video and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Did you cut it?"

"No, it was edited by a netizen...a young man from Hubei..."

"That's good…"

Huang Zhonglei immediately called several people from the publicity department, speaking very quickly, and only heard the words "5 million" and "rapid spread"...

Well, this is what a publisher should do. Since you can use it, why not do it?

What?

as a result of?

Haha, after the release of "The Promise", a newspaper in Shanghai published a large article criticizing it, and the producers of "The Promise" even called the newspaper to demand an apology...

Do you really think of yourself as an emperor?

Shen Xudong advised: "Director Feng, we don't need to worry too much. This is the Internet age. Only people who are crazy will suppress other people's comments."

"Furthermore, a well-known director worked hard to make a movie, but it was ruined by a negative review from an audience. Therefore, should freedom of speech be strictly restricted?"

Director Feng sighed and stopped talking...

Hotel, big bed…

Shen Xudong is waiting for the skill CD...

I don’t remember where I read a sentence: A young boy looking for a divorced young woman has misjudged his own strength!

Actually, it’s really not the case. It’s called evenly matched!

Looking for a divorced mature woman is not a good idea!

Of course, that's just a common situation. Shen Xudong is not one of them. He feels energetic... he can fight Gong Li several times!

This is indeed the case, and I even called me "good brother" a few times...

Gong Li is indeed happy. Yesterday's box office of "A World Without Thieves" was 26 million, and the box office in three days was 69 million, surpassing "Kung Fu" and second only to "The Promise", temporarily ranking second in the first week box office in film history...

And the reputation is very good.

There will be a three-day New Year's Day holiday after that, and the theater chain predicts that it is likely to exceed 200 million!

The box office of "Witness" also reached 157 million...

Gong Li currently has two works with box office sales exceeding 100 million!

If you add the friendly appearance of "Party A and Party B 2", it will be three...

As long as you are an actor, you don’t care about the box office of your movie. After all, this is the era of commercial movies...

However, the two people were talking about "Memoirs of a Geisha" now. Gong Li said while drinking water: ""Memoirs of a Geisha" did not do well at the box office..."

"What about word of mouth?"

"The reputation... is not very good either, and its influence is not as good as "Brokeback Mountain"..."

"Doesn't it have a bad reputation? Then I read domestic reports and they all said, 'Geisha' has sparked a craze for Eastern culture... and they also talked about expanding the screening...'"

"Well, it has been expanded to 1,571 theaters..."

What did Shen Xudong think of: "I haven't seen you working hard to promote?"

"...That's Zhang Ziyi's movie, why should I promote it?"

Gong Li's expression is a bit unnatural...

That's right, she is a first-generation girl, and Zhang Ziyi is a third-generation girl...

Explain: The second generation is Wei Mingzhi...

Tsk tsk, the new generation is better than the old... This feeling must not be good!

It's better to stop talking. Shen Xudong changed the topic: "How was the filming of "Carol"?"

"It's okay...but I feel like the director is quite strange..."

"What's weird?"

"He doesn't seem interested in me or Evan..."

"To be precise, he has no interest in women!"

Gong Li suddenly understood: "You mean, he is?"

"right!"

"I said so!"

Gong Li nodded: "However, the plot of "Carol" is good... I saw some rough cuts, they are beautiful..."

"The plot is of course good, I made a lot of changes!"

The original novel "The Price of Salt" is actually a very normal love story between a young girl who is inexperienced in the world and an elder with social status...

In this kind of story, elders like how easy it is to get along with young girls, because young girls always put themselves very low, as low as the dust, and the love between the two is always unequal.

What Shen Xudong does is to try to make this relationship a little more equal...

But "Carol" is about love, not homosexuality...

This is also the reason why he failed to win the award: being rigidly constrained to the pattern of love meant that he did not have a thrilling resistance, nor did he have the fierce outburst against social discrimination and injustice that is found in many traditional gay films.

Shen Xudong explained, and then said: "So, it is my turn to adapt it. If it is like "Brokeback Mountain" and has content to guide public opinion, it will not be the turn of Hitman Film Company at all!"

Gong Li thought for a while and nodded: "That's right..."

The two of them discussed the movie calmly. On the Internet, "Steamed Buns" has spread like a virus...

I'm loading up my things and will go home and write the second chapter before nine o'clock...

There are really too many things to do, otherwise, I can still do it three times a day
