Chapter 527 Divine Drama
Since Shen Xudong announced his intention to support movies, many filmmakers with ideas have come with projects.
Most filmmakers also know that the authorities want to follow Hollywood and take the path of commercial films...
Of course, most of the scripts received were in the vein of independent films.
Shen Xudong doesn't care, he welcomes all good stories.
Even if I can't do it myself, I will help match the strings, such as "Love's Teeth", "Blessed Ears", "Steel's Piano", "Bitter Bamboo Forest" and so on.
Introduced to China Film, Shijiu Culture, Zhongsheng Chunqiu Film and Television Culture, Taihe People...
"Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" is naturally among them.
"Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" is a very good road movie, and Zhang Yang shot it well...
Of course, this film didn’t make back its money – it was mainly due to poor promotion and scheduling!
How can it be released during the Lunar New Year?
And it's on the same schedule as "007: Casino Royale" and "The Disciple"...
Then... who looks at Zhao Benshan?
By the way, the scripts I received were all kinds of weird, including everything. For example, "A Couple", the plot is that the wife learns that she has lung cancer, and after finding a new wife for her husband, she waits for death peacefully; there is also one The memorable "Two and a Half": In a certain county in Henan, Xiao Jiao was kicked out of a high pill by Teacher Lu during a competition in the black ring. He wanted revenge under Yang Shengli's instigation. One of Teacher Lu’s testicles was smashed by his girlfriend. Xiaojiao's men continued to plot against Teacher Lu's high pills, but accidentally castrated Yang Shengli...
This kind of script gave Shen Xudong a headache, so he simply asked Zhao Linhai, Liao Gaoxiang, and Zhao Xin to join the film review department. After passing them in the first round, they thought it was good and then recommended it to Shen Xudong...
Shen Xudong continued: "Even with Zhao Benshan, it is quite difficult to repay the money... After all, this subject matter is difficult to deal with, so we roped in a company called Xinghao to do it together..."
Liu Dehua interjected: "Xing Hao?"
"A Hong Kong company wants to enter the mainland and has money..."
"Is it Wang Haifeng's company?"
"You know?"
"He tried to acquire Gold Medal Dafeng before... but failed, but he is still very famous in the circle!"
"...Huang Baigao's gold medal gale?"
"right!"
Shen Xudong's expression changed slightly: "...I hired him to go to Jiahe... to be responsible for film and television production!"
Liu Dehua was surprised: "He has been doing music!"
"I poached him mainly because of Wu Jing... He is Wu Jing's agent, and he also brought Fu Ying and Stephy Tang..."
"I know these two, they seem to be a combination... called Cookies?"
Stephy Tang is the heroine of director Yip Nian-chen's love trilogy "Exclusive Trial", "Very Much Love" and "My Favorite". Among them, "Very Much Love" and "My Favorite" have a box office of over 10 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a record that year. The new box office record of Hong Kong youth romance movies is still the heroine of "I Still Think You're the Best"!
Shen Xudong chatted with Liu Dehua again and ignored Zhang Zhiliang at all. The latter probably understood that Shen Xudong didn't like him at all.
He simply shut up.
…
hotel room.
Shen Xudong had just finished taking a shower when Zeng Li knocked on the door and walked in.
Their eyes met, and no words were needed. Zeng Li knelt down and discussed art directly...
"You don't like Director Zhang?"
After the artistic exchange, Zeng Li thought about it for a moment, and then patted Shen Xudong who was watching TV.
"...I can't even talk about liking him. This person has no talent..."
"oh…"
Zeng Li nodded, and she didn't ask why she was allowed to star in "Magic Attack" since she had no talent.
"Magic Attack" is a blockbuster film. Of course Shen Xudong can look down on it, but Zeng Li is an actor.
And she is the kind of actor who is not very popular. "Magic Attack" is the highest-profile work she has ever starred in so far.
"What are you looking at?"
""Snow Leopard"...haven't you seen it? I heard them say that this drama is a hit! The ratings have exceeded 4!"
"I've been busy promoting "Mo Gong" recently, so I didn't pay attention."
Shen Xudong looked at Zeng Li, stretched out his hand to touch it, and then said: "You can also act in an anti-war film..."
"...Why are you touching there?"
"Thunder crotch hidden..."
"What?"
"...During the Anti-Japanese War, Yinhua went to visit Bangzi, her old friend who was imprisoned and tortured by the Japanese. Bangzi took out a grenade from Yinhua's crotch, and the two detonated the grenade and died..."
Shen Xudong explained the allusion...
Zeng Li was stunned for a moment: "Really? Is there such a thing?"
"Don't care if it's true or not... just say you're moved or not..."
Zeng Li thought about it: "How to hide this?"
"How can I hide..."
Zeng Li clapped his hand, speechless: "...I think it's quite ridiculous..."
"Haha..." Shen Xudong was amused: "Let me see if you can hide thunder..."
"I have to leave soon..."
"It's okay, there are still two hours left..."
…
"Snow Leopard" premiered on Mango Channel and became an immediate hit in the first round.
Shen Xudong directly wrote on his blog, "I created Zhou Weiguo in "Snow Leopard" based on the characters of Li Yunlong + Zhao Gang... It can be regarded as following the trend of "Bright Sword"..."
"Bright Sword" is really a work that influenced the anti-war drama genre...
The anti-Japanese war TV series before this were basically model dramas with group portraits, and there were very few masterpieces as magnificent as "Three Major Battles".
Many Anti-Japanese War films are superficial, with non-three-dimensional characters and narrative stories. "Bright Sword" brings personal heroism to the screen for the first time, breaking the image of a great and upright soldier. It has advantages and disadvantages, and endows it with ruffianism, arrogance and loyalty.
Although the show was too subdued, it couldn't stand up to the group of characters, and it was deeply penetrating. The script was created with a sense of immersion and realism, and focused on adding a sense of excitement, creating a miracle in the ratings of the Anti-Japanese War. The ratings exceeded 13.7%, and it was replayed every year.
The safest way to create in the film and television industry is to follow the trend.
"Golden Branch Desire" and "Beauty's Scheming" have become popular, and a bunch of harem-themed dramas have been planned to be filmed, such as "The Harem of the Qing Dynasty" and "The Concubines of the Ming Dynasty"...
After "Bright Sword", there was a surge in anti-war films.
"Bloody Rose", "Wolfbane Flower", "March of the Broadsword", "Snow Wolf Valley"...
In fact, it's okay. Everyone wants to be embarrassed. At most, they will go down the path of legend. After "The Anti-Japanese Heroes", they will simply ignore it and keep shooting in a more enjoyable direction.
And it’s the kind of brainless and cool routine: the villain has a negative IQ, the protagonist’s team is possessed by the aura, and if the level cannot be overcome, the game will be cheated regardless of logic.
Kill the Japanese with your hands, snipe with the 800-meter rifle, and turn the bullets.
This is called a drama...
Strictly speaking, "Snow Leopard" can be considered a magical drama, but it is not mythical enough and can only be regarded as a fun drama at best!
But in 2006, when everyone was still pursuing a sense of history, it was very different...
Many media criticized it as "unhistorical" and "excessive pursuit of idol drama"...
But...you can't stop it from becoming popular. In the original time and space, an authoritative organization investigated the number of reruns of TV series after 2010. "Snow Leopard" was rebroadcast 437 times in ten years, even surpassing "Bright Sword"...
This time it was similar. Mango Channel had just finished broadcasting, and immediately a bunch of satellite TV stations came over to buy the rights to broadcast the second and third rounds...
