Chapter 658 The Company Is Too Big
Chapter 658 The company...is too big
Changying, the full name of Changchun Film Studio.
With the reform of theater chains, films will follow the path of market and commercial films.
At that time, film studios were closing down one after another. Old studios such as Xiying, Changying, and Shanghai Film were later turned into rental units, and the actors and director teams were gone...
In 1999, Changying Group Co., Ltd. was established on the basis of Changying Factory.
By selling off the old factory area to revitalize assets, a large-scale tourism and entertainment project, Changying Century City, was built on the outskirts of Changchun.
That’s right, it has become a cultural and tourism group whose main business is business!
As an established film studio, Changying Film definitely wants to make movies.
At present, more than 100 million funds have been raised, and I want to regain my strength...
The "Tongque Terrace" project is considered a face-saving project!
Of course, the main reason why "Tongque Terrace" impressed Chang Ying was that Chow Run-fa was cast in the role at a low salary - it was indeed "Tongque Terrace" that he accepted at a very low salary, which shows that the script must be good...
Shen Xudong quickly flipped through the script...
Not bad indeed!
The intertwining of themes of revenge and power seizure, external social struggles and characters' inner conflicts has the color of Shakespeare's drama.
But this movie sucks!
"Tongque Terrace" has a good script, but it doesn't have a good director. It's not because of the plot or the actors' performances, but because of some places that should be intense and explosive, but he always tries his best to destroy them. .
The mood was a little high at first, but I don’t know why, but suddenly there was a turn or a shot, and the mood immediately went down again.
After watching the whole video, I felt like I always felt constipated when I had a bowel movement and couldn't feel relieved.
It’s not that there are no highlights in the movie, but the highlights are all in the actors. One scene is when Cao Cao almost kills his son, another is the conversation between Cao Cao and the emperor, and Liu Yifei’s beautiful Hanfu...
I can only say that Zhao Linshan is not a good director!
I don’t have good taste either, so I actually hired Zhao Xiaoding for photography.
Zhao Xiaoding has never been very talented in terms of camera movement.
Of course the golden armor is beautiful, but it is limited to beauty. The lens is extremely poor and the composition is crude, giving it a "photo studio" style.
Don't look at the movies he collaborated with A Mou. A Mou himself is extremely talented in art.
If you look at his works after leaving Amou, such as "Assassin's Tomb" and "Jiangshan Beauty", the movement shots are just a simple panning...
If the photographer of "Tongque Terrace" were replaced by Bao Xuanming of "The Wind", or Lu Chuan's queen Cao Yu. The action shot of these two people was very good.
This movie is probably twice as good.
In fact, there is a very popular film project in the Mainland, which is a costume palace drama!
Create an epic feel.
All the great directors have filmed more or less.
"Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", "The Night Banquet", "The City Is Full of Golden Armor"...
The same is true in "Tongque Terrace". The characters speak ancient Chinese. Well, they are actually half-literate lines...
According to Shen Xudong's thinking, it is impossible for him to invest in such a project!
What's more, the person's profile picture still dominates...
However, Shen Xudong was curious about why Zhao Linhai came to him. Didn't he know Xudong's habits?
Seeing Shen Xudong quickly flip through the script, Zhao Linhai asked expectantly: "How is the script?"
Shen Xudong: "...so-so..."
"How many points can you give me?"
Shen Xudong subconsciously asked: "...Did you write the script?"
"no…"
"Then why do you care about this?"
As he spoke, Shen Xudong closed the script and said casually: "It is impossible for me to participate in this project. The Three Kingdoms story I did is a familiar story to the audience, and it is completely incompatible with this one!"
"Then do you think Teacher Bao Guoan will take on this role?"
Shen Xudong looked at Zhao Linhai suspiciously: "...What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Linhai finally explained: "My cousin is the director of this play... He wants to use the script to persuade powerful people to join, and then get investment from Changying..."
"Your cousin? What is your cousin's name?"
"Zhao Linshan!"
"oh…"
Got it, that makes sense...
Zhao Linshan, Zhao Linhai…
After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "You might as well let him fool Zhou Runfa. Zhou Runfa has no education and is easily fooled!"
"Zhou Runfa? Don't you hate him very much?"
"Yeah, I hate him very much...but it doesn't affect that he is a good actor...and he has always wanted to play Cao Cao..."
"He wants to play Cao Cao? Then why didn't he take the role in "Red Cliff"?"
"Let him play Zhou Yu in "Red Cliff"..."
Zhao Linhai frowned: "It's hard to do..."
Shen Xudong disagreed: "Corporal Li Xian, how can I not invite anyone? If they don't come, you will bow! If they don't come, you will kneel down! Besides, the image of Cao Cao in "Tongque Terrace" is quite attractive. of…"
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my cousin...you won't participate?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "Where are my pile of projects... Also, let me make a suggestion."
Zhao Linhai immediately took out a pen and paper: "Tell me!" "It's not about the script... it's about the investors. I heard that Wanda intends to get into film production. You can ask your cousin to find them!"
"Wanda? Wanda Cinema?"
"Um…"
…
In the original time and space, the film schedule of "Tongque Terrace" was not good. I heard that it was because the movie theaters were offended by the share distribution. During the National Day period, it only received 10% of the film schedule...
I don’t know if it’s true or not, I just know that in those few years, Raytheon really didn’t have a good relationship with several major theater chains…
Oh, the publisher is the light!
Shen Xudong is just a friendly reminder...
Do you have anything to do with him?
He doesn't want to invest in Changying or Liu Yifei...
The project "Tongque Terrace" has probably been delayed for some time...
The Original Spacetime was not officially launched until 2011 and was released in 2012.
…
Zhao Linhai chatted with Shen Xudong for a while, and then returned to his office. Shen Xudong... continued to consider the actors for "33 Days After Love".
First, write down the requirements: The male protagonist looks very girly and speaks coquettishly, but he is very manly when it’s his turn to be a man, and tactfully helps the female protagonist Xiaoxian get revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend. Faint love for happy enemies.
Around 30 years old…
Brother Hu is actually... okay, but his lines are so hot on the tongue - especially when he speaks loudly, it always feels like his voice will break in the next second!
Of course, he has his national credentials and is always an alternative.
Just like Shu Qi and Ang Lee - Shu Qi is the actor I "keep in my pocket". When I can't find an actor I'm satisfied with, I just have to dig through my pocket.
The premise is that a suitable actor cannot be found!
Thinking of Brother Hu, Shen Xudong suddenly thought of Wang Kai...
Kai Kai should be quite suitable. He seems to have played Chen Jiaming in "The Invincible"...
As soon as he thought about this, Shen Xudong immediately called Chen Xi.
When the latter heard that he was looking for an actor named Wang Kai, he was obviously confused: "Wang Kai?"
"Yes, we were the ones in the drama..."
Shen Xudong was thinking about Wang Kai's works... Then, Chen Xi on the other end of the phone hung up...
How dare she hang up the phone?
Do you want to do it?
Shen Xudong was about to call back when someone knocked on the door. Chen Xi walked in with information in his hand: "Is it him?"
"Yes, yes, that's him. I want to invite him to star in my new movie. Please contact his agent!"
Hearing this, Chen Xi sighed: "...He is an actor under our banner and has acted in "The Great Butler". Don't you remember?"
"...I...the company is too big. You sign so many actors every year. How can I remember them all?"
Chen Xi quietly added: "He has also acted in "Snow Leopard" and "Latent". He auditioned for "Step by Step" some time ago and won the second male lead..."
