Chapter 575 Remake
Shen Xudong is totally worthy of these people.
To put it bluntly, these people are destined to be crushed by the times...
He now needs connections, resources, and official support!
As for the media…
He is the new talkative person in Beijing circles.
You have public opinion, but he doesn’t?
Feng Xiaogang directly said, "Hong Kong directors already have very preferential treatment. They can shoot police and gangster movies, but we can't. They can do it all...Under this premise, what standards should be set? I think it's ridiculous!" ’
How will Hong Kong respond?
How can you respond?
Swear!
Especially a man named Du Wenze, who was scolded in all kinds of ways...
It's normal. Ya is just an idiot. After the movie she starred in was released, she threw herself into the street and scolded mainland audiences on Weibo. Her words were, "Mainland people should support Hong Kong stars. Don't you want to watch good movies?" ’
Then, these two guys were banned!
He probably knew that Shen Xudong would not cooperate with him...
Oh, Shen Xudong did not directly follow the crew of "Life Events". He came to the film festival for other reasons.
Participate in some activities and give out awards or something.
As for public opinion…
Something happened during the Shanghai International Film Festival: "Happy Boys" was broadcast...
With "Super Girl"'s Zhu Yu at the forefront, Hunan Satellite TV had intended to make "Fast Man" the next hit at the beginning of the planning.
"Fast Man" in 2007 did not disappoint everyone, it was at its peak from the beginning!
By the way, at the same time, Dragon TV aired "Come on!" "Good Man", CCTV also has "Dream China"...
It has attracted a lot of attention. Who has time to care about the bad things in your film industry?
If Shen Xudong didn't respond proactively, the heat would dissipate in three days at most...
But this gap must have been formed!
What will they do to Shen Xudong?
How can we deal with it?
Didn't "Water Margin" say: If you can't fight between heroes, you won't know each other without fighting, so you should quickly become the elder brother; if there is a tie, you won't know each other without fighting, and they will become brothers with different surnames.
In the film industry, those who have no ability can only be treated like leeks and suffer the consequences, while those who have ability will be respected.
The harsher the scolding is, the more blockbuster works are produced, the more they will rush to kneel down and lick them!
…
Shen Xudong is being interviewed by the media...
Promote "Life Events"!
After the movie was released, it received good reviews and performed well at the box office...
"I think the theme of death is very interesting... The story line of mutual redemption can also make the audience feel warm..."
It’s another piece of gossip that has been said a dozen times to promote the movie. Apart from such praise, it’s hard for you to think of new angles!
After the business was over, personal matters were discussed. Shen Xudong directly blocked the reporters' questions: "Don't ask me about my conflicts with Hong Kong directors... I only have conflicts with some people, like Xu Ke, Lin Lingdong, Lin Chaoxian... we are all very good friend!"
After Shen Xudong said this, the media friends at the scene had to change the topic: "Xudong, what do you think of the craze for remakes of classics?"
“...many famous works from all over the world have been remade many times, such as "Hamlet", "Les Misérables", "Anna Karenina", etc. Some have been remade more than 10 times, and the four major classics have been remade. I think it’s quite normal!”
"…But I heard that your company has no plans?"
Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then replied: "Because we know that remakes of the four classics should not have too many utilitarian ideas, but should pursue the promotion of the national cultural spirit, but we feel that we cannot do this, so we might as well not get involved. …”
"Why can't it be done?"
"...Because it's so easy to make money by making remakes. No matter how good your filming is, the TV station will pay for it. Under this premise, it's hard for me to maintain my mentality..."
How can I make more money?
Of course...inject water!
After the number of episodes increases, many stories that have never been seen before will naturally be included. For example, the new version of "Water Margin" has 86 episodes, which is twice the length of the old version. It is inevitable to add water to the story. There are even Song Jiang and Yan Poxi. The plot of the sworn friendship with Jinlan...
Oh my God, what kind of divine screenwriter is this? This is no longer adding water to the meat, it is simply adding meat to the water.
In this regard, the new version of "Water Margin" is already the best remake among the four famous classics!
After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "Furthermore, the four major classics are so widely circulated that adapting them is too difficult... I feel like it's better not to touch them for the time being!"
"So, you choose to make movies?"
"Movie?"
""Zhao Zilong"... isn't there also "Cao Cao"?"
"Oh... I chose the theme of the Three Kingdoms mainly because Chinese people all over the world know the Three Kingdoms... purely because of the breadth of the market. As for the opening chapter of "Zhao Zilong", because I personally like the character Zhao Zilong..."
"Where's "Cao Cao"?"
""Cao Cao" was requested by our Japanese investors, who provided a production fund of US$25 million..."
…
Shen Xudong didn’t tell the truth, Four Great Classics. Is there anything he can do that looks like a remake?
"New Three Kingdoms" is produced by the Television Production Center of Communication University of China, produced by Su Zhiwu (President of Communication University); "New Water Margin" is jointly produced by Shandong Radio and Television Station and Tianjin Northern Film Group;
"New Red Mansions" is produced by China Film and Television and BJ Hualu Baina...
It doesn't matter. Do you want to remake the Four Great Classics?
Dream on!
Of course, with Shen Xudong's current status, if he really wants to remake it, he can't do it. The problem is, it's not necessary.
Well, he doesn’t have the courage or the patience to make a remake!
Another point: the contents of the Four Great Classics are actually very sensitive. In the past, CCTV took the lead in filming the Four Great Classics regardless of cost, and small details could naturally be handled smoothly. However, now that film and television companies are for profit, some sensitive plots are handled very problematically.
Shen Xudong is a coward who doesn't even dare to sign "Buddha is the Tao"...
Back to the Shanghai International Film Festival... not many people pay attention to the main competition section.
More people are discussing Zhou Jialun - he came to promote "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled"...
Shen Xudong is actually very willing to cooperate with Zhou Jie. After all, Jay Chou is really top-notch now - the popular "Slam Dunk" has exceeded 100 million, and the masterpiece "The Tomb" can earn 60 million at the box office...
It definitely has appeal!
Therefore, Shen Xudong approached him and told him a story about a local talent: "This is the story of a drummer, be the greatest, or nothing!"
"The process of a rookie becoming a master..."
"There are no geniuses, no gods, and no legends in this world. If you want to be great and be remembered, you have to sacrifice your life."
"This story is called "Explosion Driving School"... No, it's "Explosion Drummer"!"
Zhou Jielun was stunned for a long time, and then asked: "Who is the director?"
"Director You Dazhi...the starring roles are you and Director Chen..."
"...Okay, I'll go back and discuss the schedule with my agent..."
