Chapter 516 Fishing

When Chen Xi heard about Shen Xudong's idea, he directly retorted: "Just sign it if you want. He is an actor in Kongzheng. Brother, we have already obtained the actor contracts of Yan Ni, Jiang Chao, and Sha Yi, and now we want Cherry Yes, this is inappropriate!"

"...Isn't this good? It shows that Kongzheng has a vision and is not on the same page with me!"

"Then you might as well pack Niu Li and Lin Yongjian away too!"

"...I don't do skits..."

Shen Xudong also felt a little embarrassed. It was okay to pick up wool, but you couldn't just pick up a sheep...

"Forget it, I just think she has a wide range of roles and can play anything.

Hearing this, Chen Xi thought for a while: "It's not impossible...the art troupe doesn't do many dramas now, so it shouldn't be a big problem if we discuss it with them.

"Then you go... By the way, there is another one named Yan Bingyan. I am going to invite her to play Cuiping in "Latent"..."

"Yan Bingyan...the one from "Red Cross Squadron"?"

"right,"

Chen Xi nodded: "Okay, I'll contact her... Is "Latent" about to be filmed?"

"It's almost there. Jiang Wei has entered the preparation period."

The art troupe I just mentioned doesn’t produce many dramas now. In fact, it’s an era...

After the 1980s, the three headquarters and military regions across the country successively established specialized TV drama production units.

From 1995 to 2005, it was the heyday of military TV drama production.

Produced a large number of "pure blood" military dramas...

Later, after several rounds of military reforms, most TV drama centers canceled their productions.

…

Shen Xudong did not win the award, "The Golden Branch" won the Outstanding Feature TV Series Award, and Zheng Xiaolong won the Best Director Award...

The best screenwriter is Mr. Ge Fei, the screenwriter of "Ren Changxia".

There is no way around this. The producers are the China TV Drama Production Center, the Publicity and Education Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department, and the Publicity Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.

Shen Xudong was convinced!

Back in Beijing, literally as soon as the plane landed, a bunch of phone calls came in.

He is now connected to Hollywood and has several projects in hand. The most important thing is that he is making money!

He received US$28 million from the first batch of accounts of the "Human Purge Plan". Of course, according to the data released to the public, the net profit of the "Human Purge Plan"... was US$3 million!

At this point, Michael Burns also said, ‘You can make negative profits~’

He knew that Shen Xudong's money belonged to the investment foundation, not the production company!

Hollywood does not cheat its own people. The entire "Human Purge" industry chain is complete. Shen Xudong and Xudong Studio are the producers, and Lionsgate is the distributor...

For example: For example, in "Saving Private Ryan", the director Spielberg made money, the star Tom Hanks made money, the producer DreamWorks made money, and the distributor Paramount Pictures also made money... Then Who lost money?

Investors!

DreamWorks raised US$300 million in funding from South Korea that year!

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong said it was not necessary, and suggested that Michael Burns not to go too far. "China is developing very fast, and there are more and more rich people. If it is not guaranteed, one day you will need Chinese funds. A good reputation is very good." important! ’

Michael Burns thinks so!

So, I discussed it with Shen Xudong and made a net profit of 3 million...

"Where did you make money... The distribution fee is very expensive, about 3 million US dollars in profit... I will share half of it..."

"...Of course I looked at the bills and hired a professional accountant to check them..."

"Copyright splitting... There is no copyright splitting. The copyright belongs to Lionsgate, and I only get the box office dividends!"

"...There are blind Jiba reports on the Internet, asking me to earn 30 million U.S. dollars. If I really earned 30 million U.S. dollars, why would I return to China?"

"They only know the box office and don't consider the publicity and distribution expenses at all... Think about it, how can a movie costing 3 million US dollars attract so many viewers? It's not allowed to advertise... It cost 8 million just to lay out the posters. Dollar!"

"Labor costs are expensive in the United States!"

"Well... I'm going to rest for a few days. I'll definitely get together when I'm free."

Almost all of them were conversations like this. Everyone knew that he had made money, and they all wanted to take advantage of him... No, I should say ask for experience...

How could Shen Xudong impart experience?

I dismissed it with a few words...

He was indeed a little tired and was ready to rest for a few days.

…

At Shangzhuang Reservoir, Shen Xudong was dragged over by Zhao Linhai and Zhao Xin to fish...

He stayed at home for two days, almost rested, and then prepared to find someone to have dinner with.

Then he was pulled over!

"Don't swing around. Fishing requires a calm mind like water!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "...I can make up to a million dollars a minute, but I can just go fishing with you?"

"What's wrong with fishing?"

"I have heard that 'the obvious sign of a man's reduced sexual desire is that he starts to like to mess with some weird things, which is time-consuming and expensive, such as cigars, fishing, bracelets and so on...'"

"What a waste of money, what kind of money do you have to spend fishing? Oh, I'm hooked!"

As he spoke, the fish took the bait, and Zhao Linhai lifted the rod happily...

Shen Xudong glanced at it and was speechless: "...Is this also called a fish?"

A small fry three centimeters long…

"...Why are you anxious? There will be big fish!"

"I'm looking for you two to eat. Let's find a restaurant and order some random dishes..."

Zhao Linhai glanced at him: "Do you know why I must take you out to fish?"

"Why?"

Zhao Xin interjected: "...because my sister-in-law won't let me!"

"Ahem... This is just one aspect!" Zhao Linhai glared at him: "Mainly, I think you have been a little impetuous recently..."

"Impatient?" Shen Xudong looked at Zhao Xin: "Third brother, do you also think I am impetuous?"

Zhao Xin shook his head: "...I don't have such thoughts. I was just too tired of writing the script. The boss called me and asked me to come out and relax, so I came."

"Writing a script? What script did you accept?"

""The Legend of the Knights of the Tang Dynasty"..."

Shen Xudong was surprised: "...Liang Yusheng's novel? Who wrote it?"

"Zhang Jizhong... He asked me to change it to a 30-episode work. My brain is about to explode!"

"Then come on...this work is not easy to change!"

"The Legend of the Knights of the Tang Dynasty" has more than one million words. It takes the Anshi Rebellion during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty as the historical background. It tells the story of a group of martial arts people with unique skills and different personalities who work together to quell the Anshi Rebellion to avenge their country and family...

The craze for martial arts has not passed yet. The dramas adapted from Liang Yusheng's novels include "Seven Swordsmen", "Legend of the Knights of the Tang Dynasty", "Xia Ying", "Xia Gu Dan Xin", "Jiang Jiang Hu", "Cloud Sea Jade Bow" .

It's all caused by the popularity.

Zhao Linhai said contemptuously: "If you don't have the ability, you still take the job. Look at me, I won't take it!"

"...You are lazy, Fourth Brother. Do you know what Old Zhao has been doing these past few months?"

"What are you doing?"

"He is actually playing games..."

Shen Xudong was also a little speechless: "Boss, what game are you playing?"

"..."Zhu Xian"..."

Shen Xudong was surprised: "You told me earlier, I have an internal number..."

"Ah, I've spent tens of thousands on the internal number..."
