Chapter 659 Where Are the Geniuses?

I heard a rumor before, it was said that Huang Zhongjun watched the TV series "Red Sorghum" and thought that Yu Zhan'ao's performance in it was really good and wanted to sign him. After asking about it, he found out that... he was his own artist!

I just feel like this person is so irresponsible to the company.

There are also rumors that Ma Yun is the laziest CEO in China...

I sleep until 11 o'clock every day, get up and drink tea, then have some food, go to the company for a while, come back and take a nap, wake up and drink tea again...

At that time, there were a lot of reports saying, "Ma Yun doesn't understand the entertainment industry. Doing business depends on hard work and thinking, but if he is involved in the mixed entertainment industry, he will never get ahead by relying on these two things alone!" ’

Also, in those years, the Huang brothers dominated the Chinese film and television industry. The company's top artists gathered together, and the film and television works produced every year accounted for half of the country. The two brothers were like stars holding the moon, controlling the attention of the entertainment industry.

No matter what you do, there will always be a bunch of people kneeling down and licking you!

This is normal. There is no shortage of rich people to help publish press releases and establish people... Wang Sicong was a business wizard for a while!

Later...the world changed dramatically, and no one could boast about Huang Zhongjun's routine anymore.

Shen Xudong... is not Huang Zhongjun. He rarely takes the initiative to make friends with the so-called powerful people.

I have never held a party at home...

The reason why he doesn't know Wang Kai is simple - he doesn't care!

He really doesn't care much about the company's artist management business.

Who to sign, who to focus on training...

He doesn't care.

In his view, Tianmei Media’s core business is film and television drama production, and this will never change.

As for cultivating artists…

It's a matter of piggybacking.

In fact, an artist's reliance on a brokerage company only requires the company to devote a lot of energy and resources to his training during his growth period. Once he matures, he does not need the company's help. Instead, the company needs the support of famous artists.

Therefore, Chen Hao is now semi-independent - she has her own studio, she can participate in movies when there are dramas, and she can also take on external dramas when there are no dramas.

Most importantly, there is a natural opposition between film and television production and artist agents: film and television production always strives to reduce actors' remuneration, while agents always hope to maximize the interests of artists. There is a conflict in interest orientation between the two.

win-win?

Very difficult!

Of course, Shen Xudong would not have to break his arm to survive...

At this stage, the ability to create stars is still the core competitiveness of a film and television company!

"Love Is Not Blind" plus "Bou Bu Jing Xin" are two completely different characters.

In "Step by Step", Wang Kai plays the eighth prince, and his image is completely different from that of Wang Xiaojian.

The production of TV series is relatively fast. It is broadcast first to gain popularity, and then the movie is released. A press release is issued to praise the acting skills. If you put it into operation, you can also win the Newcomer Award.

Perfect!

Chen Xi was surprised: ""33 Days of Love"...you want to be the director yourself?"

"Yeah...what's the problem?"

"No problem... This book has sold nearly 1.8 million copies. Many people have inquired about the film and television adaptation rights of this book... I attended an event two days ago and met Fan Bingbing. She also asked me who would play Huang Xiaoxian? Woolen cloth!"

"…Really."

Shen Xudong suddenly realized that the biggest difference between his version of "33 Days of Love" and the original version!

——It is already a best-selling novel.

IP value expands infinitely!

Chen Xi was very interested in "33 Days of Love": "Huang Xiaoxian, who are you going to find?"

"Find someone new...not a new person, just an actress from my generation, named Bai Baihe. Do you know her?"

Chen Xi's expression changed: "Of course I know her...and I also know that she is married!"

"So? You can't act after you get married?"

What a ridiculous theory!

Chen Xi looked at Shen Xudong and said implicitly: "...married people are different from unmarried people. The public...not to mention the public, even the circle cannot accept this matter...not to mention Bai Baihe's husband is Chen Yufan!"

It was very reserved, but Shen Xudong understood it...

This is because he is worried that something will happen to him with the actress!

Speechless: "...What are you thinking? I simply think she is suitable. No, am I so unbearable in your eyes? I don't like married women!"

Shen Xudong has two main principles when traveling in the world: first, he is a bachelor; second, those who communicate in art are also single, at least the unmarried kind;

This is his bottom line!

Chen Xi thought about it for a while, and it seemed that Shen Xudong really didn't have the Meng De gene, and nodded: "... Then I'm relieved... When are you going to shoot?"

"Wait a little longer, there is no suitable schedule this year...Okay, leave me alone, go and do your own thing!"

…

Chen Xi left, and Shen Xudong stopped worrying about "33 Days of Love" for the time being.

The casting problem has been solved, and the next step is to prepare and then set the shooting time...

What?

Actor schedule?

Haha, Shen Xudong's movie is still the protagonist. As long as the actor is not a fool, he will star in it, even if he is filming a movie directed by Chen Da!

Click on the movie box office and get ready to see the real-time box office of "The Lost Way".

Oh, at this stage, if you want to know the real-time box office of a movie, you can only go through the movie box office - many theater staff will upload the real-time box office to Tieba, and then summarize it, and the data will come out!

Generally, the more popular a movie is, the faster the information can be aggregated.

Later, with professional statistics, movie box office bars became a place to gossip about movies.

After watching for a while, someone knocked on the door again. Shen Xudong looked up helplessly: "Come in!"

It was Zhao Xin who opened the door: "Xudong, I received a script. It's really well written."

"Oh? What script?"

Shen Xudong became interested. It is rare to see a script that Zhao Xin considers to be "really well written."

Zhao Xin immediately lowered the script, with three big words on the cover: Bitter Bamboo Forest.

"Bitter Bamboo Forest"?

never heard of that…

Shen Xudong immediately looked through it and found that "Bitter Bamboo Forest" is indeed an amazing script. It pays tribute to "Seven Samurai" and has its own style!

"Bitter Bamboo Forest" tells the story of how farmers in a village cooperated with the government to arrest two robbers. How the two robbers violently resisted the law and killed and injured many officers and soldiers. How the villagers dealt with the robbers tactfully and then secretly reported the crime, only to be arrested by the officers and soldiers. The story of an accidental injury that led to the death of an entire village...

The core meaning of this script: Officials are more terrifying than bandits. The bandits only want a little money from you, but if you don't have any, forget it; the officials not only want your money, but also your life, and do so in the name of justice. Bandits still have humanity, but officials don't. The bandits treat you like a human being, and the officials treat you like a pig or dog.

It always feels very familiar...

"Who wrote this?"

"Yang Shupeng...the director of "Movie Legend"!"

"Oh, he..."

I thought he was a genius who had never been exposed to film and television...

It’s a bit taken for granted. In the film industry for so many years, except for Guo Jingming, no real outsider has entered the film industry.

Well, "Movie Legend" is a program produced by Cui Yongyuan.

It is said that when Yang Shupeng applied for the CCTV program "To Tell the Truth", Xiao Cui thought that the young man was not bad, and knew that the young man had watched many old movies, so they hit it off and started an old movie show - "Movie Legend"...

One of them is the general director of the program, and the other is the host of the program. Yang Shupeng stayed in "Movie Legend" for 3 years, but later the two gradually drifted apart until they separated. Some people say that Yang Shupeng left CCTV because he was squeezed out by Cui Yongyuan...

I can’t explain clearly, but there must be a contradiction.

When Yang Shupeng later promoted the movie, he specifically said, "The relationship between the two protagonists in the movie is based on the relationship between me and a well-known CCTV host, about friendship from trust to betrayal."

Oh, Shen Xudong remembered, "Bitter Bamboo Forest" is actually "My Brothers from the Tang Dynasty"...
