In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 563 Money Ability

"During the final selection of "Lust, Caution", Yi Mou had a long dispute with other Western judges who had different tastes, because some people did not like "Lust, Caution", but under Yi Mou's strong leadership, "Lust, Caution" Finally captured the golden lion.”

This is what the judges revealed after Venice.

Jiang Wen... was quite embarrassed. He had been holding back "The Sun Also Rises" for seven years!

Full of confidence, "Everything depends on people, success depends on God's plan", "Yimou has no reason not to help me fight for..."

Now think about it, since I gave "Lust, Caution", I might as well give it to "The Sun" - "The Sun" has a much higher screening score than "Lust, Caution"!

What impression do you have now when you mention these two movies?

"Lust, Caution" is nothing more than paper clip body odor and purple grapes...

What about "The Sun"?

Various interpretations…

Regarding "The Sun Also Rises", Jiang Wen himself said this: "A pair of sexy women's feet are walking in a village shrouded in clouds and mountains. Grass grows on the roofs of the village, the animals are colorful, and the road is paved with white Sha…the intertwined yet independent stories of three men and three women.”

"I see things and hear sounds in my mind, and I copy them. It's like God is holding my hand to write!"

""Sun" is a movie God sent to me..."

It's actually quite interesting. When it first started, the box office and reputation of "The Sun" were very poor. Many people said that Jiang Wen had been holding back for seven years and it was a waste - was it a waste? Why do I feel like it’s just the beginning?

When I first started watching Jiang Wen's movie, I was really confused...

But looking back, it was really good.

As he said, ‘The movie has to be wine, not grape juice. ’

However, Shen Xudong has different requirements for his movies than Jiang Wen: "I'm not that ambitious, I just want to make genre films. The biggest function of genre films is to satisfy the audience..."

“To satisfy the audience?”

"Comedies make the audience laugh, and suspense films make the audience feel the fun of deciphering..."

"...Is this a movie? This is a story!"

Shen Xudong sighed: "Let's attract the audience by typing it first. In a few years, the audience will go to watch Hollywood blockbusters!"

After chatting for a while, Zhang Xi came over: "Director, Miss Jing is here..."

"Here we come...I'll go greet you..."

Shen Xudong immediately changed his smile...

Making art requires money, so there is no shame in greeting the donors with a smile!

Jing Tian went to Nortel last year, the original time and space. He didn't make many public appearances in his freshman year, but he started to show his face in his sophomore year.

The TV series "A Woman's Epic" is directed by Xia Gang, who has filmed "The Big Sword" and is a fifth-generation director.

The original work of "A Woman's Epic" is by Yan Geling, and the starring roles are Liu Ye + Zhao Yanzi!

Well, the first TV series has such a strong lineup.

I also made a movie - "Anaconda", with actors including Liu Jiahui and Ba Liangjin, and the director is Li Bingliang, a young director in Hong Kong who has filmed "Yin Yang Road"...

Of course, these are original time and space.

This time, you don’t have to work so hard. With her debut as the female lead in “Hurricane Rescue” and the huge sales of her EP of the same name, Jing Tian is still famous!

"Zhu Xian" cast her to play the role of the novice - the nine-tailed fox.

"Latent", Mu Wanqiu, who arranged for her to star...

"Famous" cast her to play the nightingale again.

Although they are not heroines, the characters are very recognizable and the characters are also good...

The most important thing is not to delay her going to school.

The reason why Shen Xudong agreed was purely because he brought his own funds - an investment of 30 million only requires 20% of the investment amount!

What does it mean?

150 million... In other words, only when the box office exceeds 400 million can the investment company behind Jing Tian recover its costs!

Can "Famous" exceed 400 million?

Haha, any entertainment article that talks about some logic would not dare to write like this...

It's 2007 now, and "Famous" is still being released on National Day...

In the original time and space, the total market value of the National Day period in 2007 had not reached 150 million.

In other words... they are not prepared to recover the cost, which is equivalent to spending money to buy opportunities!

Shen Xudong likes this kind of exchange the most...

Therefore, his attitude towards Jing Tian was extremely friendly.

The rest of the cast, including the behind-the-scenes cast... are not surprised!

After all, everyone knows that Jing Tian is the financial sponsor.

What is the most important thing about making a movie?

It’s a shoot!

How can I take pictures? You have to have money!

Da Tiantian is rich...

And...she has a really good personality. In fact, with her status, even if she acts like a boss on the set, she can change her lines if she says she wants to, and she doesn't have to come if she doesn't want to shoot today...

Shen Xudong can't do anything.

But she is serious!

She is really serious. She has always been very serious about the original time and space. She does all kinds of action scenes, jumping cars and so on, and rarely uses a substitute!

When it comes to the crew of "Famous", it's the same...

Moreover, he is quite simple. He can listen to Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen bragging for a whole day...

I feel like a few lollipops can swindle...

As for acting skills, to be honest: acting skills mainly depend on the drama itself. A good role is half the battle, and the remaining half depends on the director's training and one's own understanding...

Shen Xudong is not very good at training acting skills, but...he has a judgment in his heart. The most important thing is that Nightingale does not need any superb acting skills - the whole film does not require any lines!

In addition, she actually gets along well with Gong Li...

Gong Li has a very cold personality, so she doesn't have many friends.

Shen Xudong was quite curious, and then... Zhang Xi told him, "Jing Tian bought a bag for Gong Li the night he joined the group!"

Shen Xudong was a little angry: "It's just a bag, can't Gong Li afford it?"

That is, Gong Li himself is the image spokesperson of a certain bag!

Have you ever seen a bag?

"...Not only did I buy Gong Li a bag, Sister Gong Li's team includes makeup artists, costume designers, and assistants. Each of them gave a bag as a gift, and they also shared a lot of snacks..."

This... is really a big deal!

Shen Xudong was suddenly very happy - thanks to Da Tiantian being a girl, otherwise, with the blessing of Chao's ability, Shen Xudong would probably not be her opponent!

He glanced at Zhang Xi and asked, "Did she give you the snacks?"

"Yes..." Zhang Xi quickly took out the spicy strips from his bag: "Director, would you like a bite?"

"...Forget it, I don't eat these."

Wu Jing was under great pressure when he first took on the role of "Famous".

He is an action actor after all.

According to the mainstream classification, he belongs to the category without acting skills.

As we all know, the cast of "Famous" includes two international movie stars, as well as acting talents such as Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen.

——He originally thought that Feng Xiaogang would not adapt. Director Feng was the director after all. However, Feng Xiaogang turned out to be the best actor.

Shen Xudong reminded him: "Brother Jing, your role is to be funny, so don't think about it so much and just imitate Bruce Lee..."

"Responsible for comedy?"

"...Team-type movies usually have a person who is responsible for wisdom, a person who is funny, and a person who is powerful...you are the person who is funny!"

"I just think it's unreasonable..." Wu Jing couldn't help but talk: "Look, a soldier who has spent half his life in the army is left alone by his big brother. The result of being left alone will never be for a girl to work hard from the bottom of the dancers, and then work all the way. Fucked an oiran! In the Republic of China, the entertainment industry..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "This story is fictional! Looking for reality in fictional stories must be something wrong with your brain..."
