In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 579 Time Travel Drama

"The Fuse" let alone the literary drama, the gun battle scenes are also stupid...

The fists and kicks are really awesome.

But the plot holes are outrageous!

The story line is also simple. The plot of traditional police and gangster movies is kidnapping, rescue, and finally defeating the bad guys.

The protagonist... Ma Jun is a tough guy. Almost none of the witnesses or colleagues were saved. There is no reflection at the end. He also said: I am a policeman, and it is natural to catch thieves.

The shots in non-action scenes are weird. There are several close-ups of characters' faces for a long time, which gives off a pretentious feeling. It makes you anxious to watch, and there are so many key points...

It’s really a pity that this movie failed at the box office!

Donnie Yen's biggest feature is his insistence on a free fighting style.

In the early years of "Money Laundering" and "Royal Senior Sister 4: Direct Witness", and later in "Legend of Wolf Warriors" and "Slaying the Wolf", this style has been well continued, and in "The Fuse", this style The style is almost at its peak.

In this sense, "The Fuse" can be regarded as Donnie Yen's masterpiece.

The problem is, "The Fuse" failed at the box office!

The mainland received 36 million, the Hong Kong box office was 7.18 million Hong Kong dollars, and the key point was that the North American box office was not good either...

What is even more unexpected is the huge success of "Ip Man"!

Then Donnie Yen changed his acting career - probably because he was older and no longer wanted to risk his life.

——It’s easy to get tens of millions into your account, why do you have to work so hard?

What a pity!

"The Fuse" is considered by the Marvel Action Team to be 'one of the absolute best of our generation~'

Regarding the North American distribution of "The Fuse", the distribution company did not do much publicity and did not arrange a large-scale release - it sold discs and TV rights...

Why didn't Shen Xudong help?

"The Fuse" has nothing to do with Shen Xudong. The producer is Huang Baiming's Oriental Film and Television, and the distributor is also Oriental Film and Television. Shen Xudong has no reason to help!

It’s very hot in Beijing in July.

These days, Shen Xudong has no idea of ​​working.

"Life Events" is about to be released, with a cumulative box office of 175 million...

The income is calculated in two seconds;

The production cost of the announcement was basically evened out through business replacement. The company could get 40% of the 175 million box office, and after deducting taxes, it made about 50 million;

TV copyright and audio-visual copyright are about 8 million...

Overseas copyright... Jiahe has tried hard to promote it, but it is estimated that the effect is not great.

After all, this film is too mainland, and there are no Asian superstars to support it.

It's already very impressive. One movie made 50 million yuan, and it also promoted Deng Chao...

A lot of publicity expenses were saved for "Xiu Chun Knife" released in September - starring Deng Chao.

As the driving force behind the scenes, what happened to Shen Xudong, who retired after his success and took a vacation to enjoy himself?

I called Liao Gaoxiang and Zhao Xin and found a resort...

"Last year's "Stone", this year's "Life Events", what about next year?"

"Next year's "20 Again"!"

"...I still think Liu Yifei should be cast in "20 Again"!

"How to find it? People look down on it..."

"I heard something happened to her godfather..."

"Stop talking about this!" Shen Xudong couldn't help but interrupt and changed the subject: "Lao San, why did I hear they said you were invited to screenwriter "Red Mansions"?"

Liao Gaoxiang shook his head: "No, how dare I touch "Dream of Red Mansions", there are so many red scholars..."

"Dream of Red Mansions" is indeed difficult to touch. Hegemonic comments about "Dream of Red Mansions" from the cultural circles are passed down from top to bottom like red-headed documents.

If a screenwriter dares to question "Dream of Red Mansions", then he will inevitably suffer criticism, isolation, and mental abuse.

Moreover, none of them like Dream of Red Mansions. They feel that the core of the story is that the prosperity and wealth of a family depends entirely on marrying off their daughters. Is studying useless? Talent is useless? No matter how many top picks you have, you can't bring in so many. People spend extravagantly.

Yuanchun and Tanchun are the source of Jia's prosperity. Their absence is the source of Jia's decline.

"As long as you know!"

Zhao Xin interjected: "I heard that Hu Mei can't stand it and is ready to give up..."

"Very sensible..."

Li Shaohong took over "Red Mansions" halfway...

In fact, she herself doesn't necessarily like Dream of Red Mansions that much, it's just bad money.

Therefore, the hair style is the same copper coin headband, the clothing is also the same V-neck wide robe with long sleeves, and the makeup is also the same light eyebrows and light eyes. The only difference is that the flowers on the copper coin headband are different, the color of the wide robe and big sleeves is different, and the lipstick is red The numbers are just different.

Then find a well-known stylist to do the layout, and cover up the fact of laziness by saying "Because Dream of Red Mansions has no dynasty background, it is just a fictional dream."

Why do you do this?

Because it saves trouble - I took over it in 2008, filmed it in 2009, and broadcast it in 2010!

Shen Xudong nodded: "We don't want to accept remakes of four major masterpieces... It's too difficult to surpass this thing, but there is no need to remake it if it doesn't surpass it!"

"Um…"

Zhao Xin suddenly remembered something: "I heard from your assistant, how many online novel adaptations do you want to make?"

"Oh, it's called an IP drama...I saw her reading novels at work that day, so I asked her about some good quality ones, and she recommended a few...I read the general plot, either a time-travel harem battle type, or a house fight...story The sex was quite good, and the original work was widely circulated. I thought it was worth adapting, so I asked her to buy a dozen copies..."

"Do we need to be involved?"

"Of course... I'm going to group these projects. You will not only be the chief screenwriter this time, but also the project leader, responsible for recommending dramas and contacting TV stations..."

When Liao Gaoxiang heard this, he immediately shook his head: "...That would be too troublesome. I'd rather be a screenwriter..."

Shen Xudong shook his head and said one thing: "Do you know why I want to be a producer and investor?"

Liao Gaoxiang looked at Zhao Xin, who also shook his head: "...I don't know..."

"Because I found that in the entire crew, the screenwriter has very little say... Why didn't I join the team in "The Condor"? Because there is no difference between not joining the team. Once the script is handed in, the work of the screenwriter is over...

The producer has the final say on how to shoot, who will act, and whether the acting is good or not.

However, it is obvious that the screenwriter is the one who knows the story script best. Every screenwriter has his own source of inspiration when creating. The screenwriter knows best which actor is most suitable for this role. But we have no say..."

"This is just an isolated phenomenon..."

"No... this is the norm." Shen Xudong continued: "So, we have to be producers... we have to understand the whole process of TV series and movie production, and we also have to understand the process of selling TV series..."

"Well," Zhao Xin roughly understood what Shen Xudong meant: "OK, I understand!"

"Second brother, you are responsible for two dramas, "Jingxin" and "Back to the Ming Dynasty"..."

"Are they all time-travel dramas?"

"Yes!" Shen Xudong warned: ""Bu Bu Jing Xin" was jointly produced with Tang Ren, "Back to the Ming Dynasty"..."

Before Shen Xudong finished speaking, Liao Gaoxiang had already shaken his head: "The Second Season of The Great Butler was almost not allowed to be broadcast in prime time. It was said to be historical nihilism... I have already emptied myself of a dynasty, and I am still being labeled like this. Hat... "Hui Ming" is related to history as soon as I hear it..."

"...the time-travel element was deleted and changed into a paper written by college students...the title of the paper is whether a modern-thinking college student can change history by returning to the Ming Dynasty..."

Oh, this is what the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years" does...

No way, you can't have time-travel elements, but the protagonist must have modern thinking, so assume that all stories are a thesis creation of the protagonist.

The last book received a reward from the alliance leader, a reward for the immortal...

I am very confused, should I write about her?

Please give me your opinion
