Chapter 440 "Report of Nomination"
Every time traveler will eventually become a shameless person!
There may be some psychological and moral burden at first, but in the end you will feel at ease and enjoy the convenience brought by memory...
Wen Chao Gong is Wen Chao Gong!
Whatever he understands that has not appeared will become his!
The same goes for fused memories...
Shen Xudong's memory is limited to some things in the entertainment industry, but that's enough!
After all, he was already in the game.
After this year, he has become the most popular screenwriter!
Not to mention throwing money away with a sack, it’s almost the same...
Anyway, even if he writes a script now, there will definitely be investors who will give him money to do it...
Vanity Fair, if you don’t believe in successful people, how can you believe in a loser?
Xingmei came to Shen Xudong with a very clear purpose, to bring Shen Xudong and Chen Kexin to collaborate on the movie "Horse"...
…
Shen Xudong and Chen Xi met first and talked about "The Conspiracy"...
The original work of "The Conspiracy" is very paranoid. All mortals are despicable, while geniuses are all noble...
Proper type of reflection…
It is to put the thinking of normal people into the revolutionaries. To put it more bluntly, it means that they are all inhumane!
In fact, the reason why the revolutionary feelings of revolutionaries transcend human nature and may even be suspected of being anti-human is simply because what they defend has condensed the blood and tears of too many people and cannot be lost.
Without personal experience, there is no right to speak, just like the scenery painted by the blind.
At this stage, there is a market for such reflective themes!
But it definitely won’t work on TV.
Adapted by Shen Xudong, the three stories progress in sequence. The first two stories, "Listening to the Wind" and "Looking at the Wind," both begin with a spy war but end with personal tragedies...
The protagonist of "Listen to the Wind", the blind man A Bing, eventually commits suicide because his wife was electrocuted;
Huang Yiyi, the protagonist of "Looking at the Wind", died of mental and physical exhaustion at the hands of a shrew because of her pursuit of love.
The third part, "Catching the Wind," is shown after the first two parts, which is particularly eye-catching.
Without the third paragraph describing the struggle life of the revolutionaries in the 1930s, no matter how good the performances in the first two parts are, it will be in vain, because it just monotonously reshapes the revolutionaries into cold state machines and carves out their beliefs. They pretend to be life-threatening and do not explain where the revolutionaries came from, how the country came about, and where the faith came from...
It also doesn’t explain why there are revolutionaries, why there is a country, and what faith is.
And this is exactly what the third paragraph is about.
It was able to pass the review because the third part impressed many reviewers...
After the reform, the reflection on our revolutionary stage often focuses on anti-human nature, depriving people of their will and freedom for the sake of revolution...
But...belief itself is beyond human nature!
Heroes themselves have a part that dehumanizes them...
That’s why teachers say: The people’s heroes will live forever!
But the first two paragraphs do seem to be playing on a sensitive line.
"It's already good if you can film it and allow it to be broadcast."
"…Did you expect that?"
"Well, Director Zheng should have expected it..."
Chen Xi didn't quite understand: "Since the subject matter is sensitive, why do we still do it?"
Shen Xudong chuckled: "...I persuaded you!"
"I told him that he doesn't want to make spy war dramas, and no one in China dares to try it... The TV dramas at this stage have too few subject options, either martial arts, or family affairs... The Beijing Television Center needs to make a difference! Dare to be the first for the world. !”
"…You really know how to support me!"
"When "The Conspiracy" is aired, "Before Dawn" can begin formal preparations..."
"Has the script been written?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "I also bought a novel called "Latent"..."
Chen Xi said 'hmm' and did not continue. The two arrived at the hotel...
…
During the Lunar New Year holiday this year, SMI has released two movies, "Three Immortals Village·Underground Palace Beauty" and "If Love"...
Judging from the results, "Three Immortals Village" made more than 5 million yuan, and "If Love" did not lose money, but it also did not meet expectations...
Chen Kexin is preparing to make a blockbuster: "In the current Chinese-language film market, theoretically speaking, the risk of a blockbuster is minimal..."
"For a movie to be a hit, in addition to the quality of the movie itself, if the production is large, a lot of people will pay attention to it, and there will be greater efforts in marketing, promotion, theaters and audience expectations of the movie. When these are in place, , it is very difficult for a movie not to make money!
"It may have a bad reputation, but a movie with a bad reputation ends up selling a lot of money..."
"I am purely speaking from a film business perspective. In fact, the returns on large-scale films are relatively stable!"
Chen Xi shook his head: "The problem now is that the overseas copyrights of costume blockbusters are not as easy to sell as before..."
"Because of "The Promise"?"
"That's right, before "The Promise", most Chinese costume blockbusters could sell out the copyrights. Now, they all have to sign a split contract... They are not willing to gamble anymore!"
Qin Hong interjected: "I heard that the overseas copyright of "Golden Armor" cannot be bought out?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "The main reason for "Golden Armor" is that "House of Flying Daggers" did not sell well, and Sony lost money... So, I am very cautious this time!"
"Then "The Promise" suffered a loss?"
"have no idea…"
Chen Xi interjected: ""The Promise" was returned by North America. The Japanese distribution rights were sold for only 4.5 million US dollars, and Europe has sold 6 million US dollars... It has not yet recovered the money. The impact is indeed far-reaching. The North American copyright of "The Night Banquet" has not yet been secured. , in Europe, only the United Kingdom has a transaction volume of US$1 million, and the transaction volume of the Japanese benzene market is only US$4 million..."
"Doesn't that mean that the overseas market for period films no longer exists?"
"Depending on the situation,"
Chen Xi explained: "Jackie Chan's "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" sold overseas copyrights for more than 30 million US dollars..."
"There has to be a big star involved!"
"What do you think of Xudong?"
"...I usually don't make blockbusters. I'm better at medium-investment works..."
""Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is a blockbuster film!"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "That's because Jackie Chan joined the team. Otherwise, this story wouldn't be that big!"
"Actually, the same goes for "Spurs." If we cast Li Lianlian to play Pang Qingyun, the cost would be at least 200 million... then it would definitely be a blockbuster."
"...I read your script, "Spurs"... No, "The Proposal", isn't it a bit too deep? Not commercial enough?"
"So, if you want to make a blockbuster, firstly, invite Li Lianlian to join, secondly, co-produce it with China Film Group, and thirdly, put it on the summer release date...don't put it on the Lunar New Year release date..."
"The Letter of Investment" itself is not suitable for making a big investment, its theme is quite dark, and the era in which it takes place does not allow for individual heroes!
Therefore, the effect of Chen Kexin's shooting: the colors are gray and cold, the light and shadow flicker, there are no rich and gorgeous costumes, and there is no pomp and circumstance.
It's in line with the movie itself, but... it doesn't fit the audience's expectations of watching the movie...
How cruel!
Chen Kexin nodded: "Co-produced by China Film Group..."
"Yes, blockbusters must attract investment from China Film Group. China Film Group generally does not allow its films to suffer losses!"
