Chapter 549 Nonsense

Chapter 549 Nonsense...

Zhao Linhai is a little worried about Shen Xudong's mental state...

After staying in the same dormitory for three or four years, he knew that Shen Xudong was only thinking about making money.

Whoever hinders him from making money is his opponent!

The current situation is obvious: Media Asia, Meiya and China Star have joined forces to strangle Golden Harvest...

Well, the total investment of "See the Dragon Removes Armor" is US$35 million. It is jointly produced by Media Asia, American Asia, and China Star, and the mainland distribution is handed over to Bona...

The sequel was scrapped, and the entire series was affected...

Jiahe's share price also fell.

Shen Xudong cannot lose his judgment because of this...

"Business competition is normal. We have been very successful in the past two years, and most of the people hired are Hong Kong filmmakers. This gives them the illusion that without them we would not be able to make movies!"

Shen Xudong is quite open-minded about this matter...

It is essentially just a business competition!

Of course, if Shen Xudong's own reputation reaches the point where he is responded to by hundreds of people, this group of people will definitely not be a stumbling block for Blind Ji's tyrant...

If China Film Han Shanping hosted the Three Kingdoms series...

China Film may not be useful. After all, this is not the future - it is 2007. The mainland film market has been blowing out since "Lost in Thailand" in 2012. The industry is slowly exploring the tendencies and preferences of the market and audiences...

Later, it became almost easy to create a hit.

Regardless of whether it is the main theme, comedy or sadness, love or animation theme, it can be said that it is easy to pick up at your fingertips.

Under this trend, the reputation of Hong Kong filmmakers has begun to fade away bit by bit...

Even Liang Chaowei only has the old function and the new function...

There are still five years to go!

"The Lost Journey can be made into a road comedy, 20 Again is a fantasy comedy, and the movie "The Legend of Wulin" is a theatrical version of the hit drama... I promised Director Hun Sen that we would make a comedy this year..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong asked: "If you receive any good scripts, you can also submit them."

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "There are many plot types, and there are not many eye-catching works..."

"Is there any comedy?"

"...Yes...but it's too stupid..." After thinking about it, Zhao Linhai said: "It would be nice to have "The Second World"..."

"The Second in the World"...

I have some impressions of Shen Xudong, a dialect comedy starring Mr. Wang Jinsong (Take out the monkey rubber band from your pants and make a slingshot to hit the glass of your house)...

This movie also includes "Swordsmanship", "Nine Perfections", and "Love Call Transfer", all of which left a deep impression on me.

But the Douban score is not high...

——In those years, everyone’s evaluation of movies was more about meaning!

"The Second World" has a moot meaning...

"Okay, if you think it's good, then go ahead and do it. The cost won't be high, right?"

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "This is a work of Youth Film Studio, and he wants us to help distribute it..."

"Beiying's work?"

"Um…"

Tianmei Media is naturally close to China Drama - several top executives are from China Drama...

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "If it's really good, let's help distribute it..."

"good!"

Youth Film Studio is a film production organization affiliated with BJ Film Academy...

There is also a Chinese opera, called the Film and Television Production Center of the Central Academy of Drama...

But Beijing Film Academy is a professional film school, so from the day of its birth, there are three or four feature film quotas every year...

When Chen Peisi was making a movie, he bought his spot from the Youth Film Factory!

Later, it became an institution for school leaders to praise mistresses - "A Marriage Contract", directed by the director of Nortel, and starring a young wife born in the 1990s.

As expected, the dean has great energy. For his sweet wife, he used a state-owned film studio to create a tailor-made marriage contract for her, and also roped in a bunch of big names as supporting actors.

It's a pity that the director's professional skills were so poor that the film he produced was so bad that it ended up being a dismal box office failure.

But it doesn’t matter, my little wife was crowned the Best Actress of the Italian Chinese Film Festival. After checking, this Italian Chinese Film Festival is also hosted by the BJ Film Academy!

…

At seven o'clock in the evening, a group of people were in Shen Xudong's courtyard...

Well, actually, three people from the dormitory came over to have a barbecue.

Congratulations to him for returning home with great honors - Oscar for Best Original Screenplay!

"The biggest change is probably that the price of scripts has increased, right? How much do you charge for writing scripts now?"

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "...I don't know, it's been a long time since I only collected script fees..."

"Xudong himself is an investor and producer...it's impossible to just charge script fees!"

"What if we only charge a script fee?"

A group of people looked at Shen Xudong, who thought for a while: "It should be worth 2 million US dollars... In fact, mainstream screenwriters in Hollywood have the following three characteristics, namely men, white people and Jews..."

"ah?"

"No, it's true!"

Shen Xudong continued: "Also, Hollywood screenwriters obtain commercial income according to the business model. For example, if you write a script, and a certain company thinks your script is not very good, but the design of the story is interesting, it will pay you , buy your idea, and they will find someone else to rewrite the script. Even if the final script is completely different from your original one, the money they gave you will not be returned. In this way, you only need to support a few Star screenwriter, and a lot of creative ideas..."

Zhao Linhai interjected: "Yes, I used to watch "To Tell the Truth" and there was a story like "Good Will Hunting"..."

"Well, China is very big and has many stories, and we are no worse than them..."

"Well said, come on, cheers!"

Several people raised their glasses - drinking beer...

Everyone is an insider, so naturally we talk within the same circle.

Of course, the first person to talk about is Wang Shuo - his new book "My Thousand Years Cold" has been promoted a bit too much. He is jumping up and down all over the place, spraying whoever he catches...

Scolding Yu Hua, Jia Pingwa, Yu Qiuyu...

Anyway, I will offend anyone I can offend, and I will brag about my novel at the same time - "The Book of Songs is nothing, only the Tao Te Ching can rival it"...

In fact, in 1999, "Looking Beautiful" sold 400,000 copies, and he was already out of fashion. The reason why he was bragging about it this time was just to sell books!

The sales of "My Thousand Years Cold" were even worse, with sales of less than 200,000 per month...

"Occasional success makes him linger on the lost path..."

"Times have abandoned him..."

"I think what he wrote is not that vital anymore..."

Shen Xudong had different opinions. After a group of people discussed it for a long time, he finally said: "Actually, a writer's creative ability is similar to that of a man. He is most energetic when he is 18 or 20 years old. Although he has technical shortcomings, he has so much inspiration that it is almost impossible to use it. You can spray it as often as you like...it reaches its peak around 30 years old, the energy has not declined too much, and the technique has become proficient;

After the age of 40, my creative ability declines sharply, and it becomes worse every year. I feel powerless and unable to do what I want...

In fact, the death of a great writer at the age of 50 does not affect his position in literary history... By the way, Tolstoy is a rare genius who can still write tomes in his 70s! "

"What about Wang Shuo?"

"Don't worry, there is a kind of man who has good physical strength, skilled skills, and enough hardness, but he is too easily excited mentally, so the time is very short... Wang Shuo is a typical man who has many ideas but poor endurance. Look at him The novels he wrote when he was young were full of good sentences, but they were all unfinished. He didn’t have the patience to run a novel well. Patience is also a kind of ability. Of course, you can delay it by taking medicine, but it’s not natural... He couldn’t even do it when he was young. , now that I’m old, it’s even worse!”

Zhao Linhai concluded: "Don't be so straightforward... In fact, creation has its peak period, and there are highs and lows. Writing requires strength. Most of the truly powerful works are produced when the writer is in his prime. Very few people can create masterpieces in their later years... When a writer is over 40 years old, it is normal for one work to be inferior to the other!"
