Chapter 547 If It’s Difficult to Handle, Then Don’t Do It!

The Make a Famous project has been announced…

The starring cast is jaw-dropping: Chen Daoming, Ge You, Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Zhang Guoli, Feng Xiaogang, Hu Jun, Wu Jing and Shen Teng...

Director and screenwriter Shen Xudong!

This behind-the-scenes lineup includes almost the top actors in the mainland...

Is Shen Xudong’s first directorial drama so luxurious?

"Everyone is cheering for it, and the scene is simple... We can film it in a large villa with the style of the Republic of China..."

"It doesn't require any advanced directing skills, the simplest triangle photography will do. Moreover, I hired Teacher Zhang Li to do the photography, and he also helped with the lens design... He is also one of the directors..."

"Uncle Feng is going to play a role. If you have free time, you can also help out. If Teacher Jiang Wen and Uncle Guo Li are more skilled, they can also be credited as directors. Let's try to finish the filming in one month..."

"When will it be released?"

Shen Xudong: "I want to compete with Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" in the summer next year... But on second thought, I estimate that the post-production work will be almost completed in August, so it will be released on the National Day schedule!"

"...Isn't it the Lunar New Year period?"

"That's not okay. There is Uncle Feng's "Mobile Phone 2" in the Lunar New Year period. We also have investment in this movie... If you beat yourself up, don't you become a fool?"

The company has already made a plan: "Crazy Racing" will be released during the Lunar New Year...

As for next year's summer release, "The Ancient City" will compete with "Red Cliff"...

Well, Wu Yusen PKs Xu Ke to continue the feud from back then!

The costume and art designers of "Jingjue Ancient City" are Li Miao, an art director born in the 1980s. After "The Legend of Shushan", Xu Ke's colors, scenery, and props have become nondescript, neither foreign nor foreign...

"The Ancient City" is an Eastern-style adventure film, but Western monsters cannot appear!

…

"I heard that you are going to make a sequel to "Zhao Zilong"?"

"...Well, I had this plan, but the talks fell apart..."

"Did the deal break down?"

Shen Xudong said casually: "Li Rengang wants to be the screenwriter himself and make a sequel to "Zhao Zilong" according to his wishes. We don't agree and are preparing to change the director!"

Huang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment: "...Change the director?"

"I am a producer and I have to control the progress of the entire series. He said I can do whatever I want? Then I will make a sequel to Mao?" At this point, Shen Xudong sighed: "And he has already done it. Invest and get ready to start a new business!”

"…Start a new one?"

"Yes, it seems to be called "Seeing the Dragon and Taking Off Its Armor"... Andy Lau played the male lead..."

"Then... what about the sequel to "Zhao Zilong"?"

"...I don't know. I came back this time to solve this problem!"

Li Rengang is also a director with his own ideas. His debut work "Black Man" made him famous...

This time "Zhao Zilong" sold over 80 million US dollars across Asia, and film producers in Europe and the United States are also very interested...

How much credit does this go to Li Rengang?

No one knows, but it does not prevent Li Rengang from becoming famous. The key is that companies such as Media Asia and American Asia are also willing to invest in his "Dragon Removal" - just follow the trend!

Of course, there is also the intention to join forces to snipe Jiahe...

After all, after Shen Xudong took over Jiahe, Jiahe came back in various ways. The cake is so big. As the most direct competitors, they certainly don't want Jiahe to go well.

If you can stumble, use it; if you can step on it, step on it...

After all, Shen Xudong is a mainland bumpkin. Isn’t it easy to control him?

What, he opened up the North American channel?

Then... let's intercept Director Hu...

As for why Andy Lau agreed to star?

It must be a favor or something - "Infernal Affairs" back then was thanks to Media Asia's financial investment...

Andy Lau, really, shoots for the sake of shooting, one bad movie after another!

"Future Copy", "I Know Women's Hearts", "Fuchun", "Omen 3", "Ace Funny Ace"...

After a series of bad movies... this is on the premise that there are still works of acceptable quality occasionally.

You commit suicide and throw away your basic base bit by bit.

In this case…

"Zhao Zilong" sequel?

Another hair?

It’s a big deal and I won’t do it anymore!

If it’s difficult to handle, then don’t do it (picture of a crow flipping a table)…

"...Is it a big contradiction?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "The style and vision of those directors in Hong Kong are so bad. Let me tell you the plot of "See the Dragon Disarm" and you will know. It is completely based on the police film model. The protagonist is a fictional character named Luo Ping'an. At first he was Zhao Zilong's eldest brother, but later Zhao Zilong's reputation surpassed him... He became jealous, defected to Cao Wei, and plotted against Zhao Zilong..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong asked: "Brother, hard work, betrayal...doesn't it look like Young and Dangerous?"

Huang Zhonglei was also a little speechless: "...who would invest in this thing?"

"Hong Kong filmmakers are willing to believe this..."

"Now what?"

Shen Xudong said: "...Japanese investors and Korean investors want to make "Cao Cao" and "Guan Yunchang"..."

"...Isn't it difficult to do?"

Shen Xudong did not speak, but just said: "...Anyway, I will definitely not cooperate with the filmmakers from Hong Kong this time..."

…

This feeling of being stabbed in the back is so uncomfortable!

Not only Shen Xudong was angry, the entire Tianmei Media including Jiahe was also angry...

Ridiculously, because of Li Rengang, the planned Three Kingdoms series fell through...

I originally thought of letting Andy Lau continue to shoot the second part, but this guy also followed Li Rengang and left...

Zhong Lifang was so angry that she almost vomited blood...

The Three Kingdoms series is a big project assigned to her by Shen Xudong. The first part just ended and there is no follow-up?

The key point is that you can't sue because anyone can film the Three Kingdoms...

Shen Xudong returned to the company and saw Gao Fenfen, who yelled at Li Rengang...

Shen Xudong laughed and said: "What a big deal, haven't we already reached an agreement with CJ and Dongzhu to film "Cao Cao" next..."

"...Then there won't be a sequel to "Zhao Zilong"?"

Shen Xudong continued to smile: "I won't do it... I have little interest in making a sequel. If it weren't for making money, I wouldn't agree to your suggestion!"

After a few words, Gao Fenfen felt much better...

Mainly, Shen Xudong looked indifferent and shared with her the real income of "Juno"...

"Earn so much?"

"Well, so, "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Happy Death Day" are also under Golden Harvest's label..."

"...I have to tell Zhong Lifang quickly, you don't know, because of the sequel of "Zhao Zilong", Jiahe's stock price has plummeted..."

Hearing this, Shen Xudong also felt a little distressed: "How much did it fall?"

"The market value is less than 800 million..."

"...fuck you!"

I couldn't help but curse...

Less than 800 million, that is, a drop of more than 400 million!

Damn it, it’s so cheating…

Shen Xudong suppressed his anger and continued to smile: "Sister Gao? Has "New World" been released?"

"Failed to pass the trial...Jiahe is planning to arrange it in mid-April..."

"Mid-April? Why not May Day?"

"Spider-Man 3 will be released on May 4th?"

"...Oh!" Shen Xudong turned around to leave: "I'll go find Chen Xi..."

"Don't worry," Gao Fenfen called him: "Here are the proceeds from "Before Dawn". If there is no problem, sign it!"

"...How are the ratings for "Before Dawn"?"

"What else can I do...a hit of the year."
