Chapter 662 Chen Guofu and "Di Renjie"
Xu Hui…
It’s someone you can never guess!
However, the signature of "Waste Chai Movie Dream" was still Xu Hui...
Oh, "The Movie Dream of a Loser" is "The Love of Everyone". A loser relies on his status as a director to unspoken rules for actresses who want to become famous...
He opened a studio to trick actors who wanted to join the industry.
Then I discovered a very talented actress and took her to experience the real entertainment industry!
The first half is very similar to the large-scale "I Want to Be Famous", and the second half is about the actress chasing her dream of the entertainment industry, sleeping amazingly, and eventually becoming a big star...
It's a cruel story. Towards the end of the movie, the male protagonist, the useless director, got a good script.
Unfortunately, there is insufficient funds. Seeing him frowning all day long, people around him are working hard to make money to raise funds for him.
He also worked very hard, and he did not hesitate to kneel down in public in order to let the heroine star in his movie.
Finally, the heroine agreed to him.
This meant that he had the start-up capital. Just as he stood up happily and returned to the studio, a sap from the gang was raised behind his head - the heroine was invited by the gang to film three movies, and the hero snatched her away. Schedule, crossed the line...
Well, it is also a "Dream Showbiz"...
To be honest, Jiahe's tertiary films are indeed profitable!
Last year's "Playthings" cost 11 million Hong Kong dollars, and the promotion and distribution costs were less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. The box office in Asia was 60 million Hong Kong dollars. The subsequent TV copyright and audio-visual copyright revenue was as high as 55 million Hong Kong dollars...
Net profit exceeds HK$50 million!
The income of "Dream Showbiz" is a little higher, because the whole of Asia is discussing the photography exhibition, and at the right time, the copyright income even increased by 20%...
Most importantly, cost control is very strict - the cost of "Dream Showbiz" is still less than 12 million Hong Kong dollars.
Jiahe...including Shen Xudong cannot let go of this subject!
Besides, I can’t make many movies anymore.
With the development of the Internet, video tapes and discs have slowly withdrawn from history. Hong Kong citizens... not only Hong Kong, but citizens all over the world will gradually reduce their purchases of discs and turn to searching for resources on the Internet...
Even the theaters that specialize in showing C-level movies are closing!
…
Regarding "Chasing Dream Entertainment", serious Hong Kong media, such as "Ming Pao Evening News" commented: Exploiting Hong Kong's entertainment industry!
Exploitation movies, I think everyone knows something about them, generally refers to the type of movies that rely on sentimentality, violence, and gore, exploiting the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and refer to the scandals that rely on the Hong Kong entertainment industry...
It is indeed the case.
It's weird, you can do it, but I can't talk about it?
What about freedom?
Including Liu Jialin, who was insinuated, he was also dissatisfied with the movie and directly said, "I feel offended!" ’
Then Jiahe didn't respond, but of course they apologized privately...
This is indeed a bit much.
By the way, Lan Jieying’s related topics did not explode, but many people were wondering, ‘Why does this have such a plot? ’
Haha, wait a few more years and you will know!
Shen Xudong did not show up from beginning to end and did not answer any questions about "Dream Showbiz".
By the way, Golden Harvest filmmakers were collectively absent from this year's Academy Awards - of course, those who should have signed up must have signed up, including "Zhao Zilong", "Hurricane Rescue 2", "The Raid", "The Couple" and "Plaything". "The Legend of the Wicked" has all signed up...
No way, Golden Harvest is still a Hong Kong film company and is controlled by the association.
It’s just that the creative team has confirmed that they will not attend!
No, director Li Rengang and starring Andy Lau of "Zhao Zilong" might attend...
Who knows?
Anyway, Shen Xudong doesn't care at all...
He was busy discussing Di Renjie with Chen Guofu...
…
"When I was in Colombia, a foreigner suggested that I be Detective Dee: Detective Dee knows martial arts, has a good image, is romantic, can handle cases, and can reason. There has never been such a character in Chinese films."
"Moreover, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" became very popular after it was released in the 1960s. As a result, Di Renjie won the title of Oriental Sherlock Holmes abroad. Di Renjie is also considered a well-known figure!"
It is indeed somewhat famous. The UK produced 6 TV series about Dickson's case. In 1974, "The Case of the Temple" was made into a movie, which won the Edgar TV Drama Award the following year...
Therefore, as long as the filming is good, overseas copyright should
"Then I read "The Case of Di Gong" written by Wu Jianren, a novelist from the Qing Dynasty. I was very disappointed. It was too ridiculous. What kind of detective is this? The answers are all dreamed up, or the victim drags him to the underworld to witness. There is no artistic temperament. nothing!"
"I can't stand "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" either. Di Renjie is more gentle and elegant, like a Western gentleman, but lacks a sense of action."
"I gave the 1.4 million-word novel to a screenwriter and asked him to sort out the interesting stories in it, but he only picked out one or two."
Well, Shen Xudong has never read these two works...
But he was curious about one thing: why Chen Guofu was looking for him.
"Brother Huayi doesn't like this movie?"
"No, mainly I want to invite Director Xu Ke to direct this play, but Director Xu Ke has a priority investment agreement with your company..."
After a pause, Chen Guofu then added: "The bizarre and tortuous case can be designed, the logical deduction process can be perfected, and the starring performance can be honed, but the grand background of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the fierce and novel action scenes, and the bizarre visual effects, This is simply not something that ordinary directors can handle.
In addition, if you want to accurately express Di Renjie's chivalrous temperament, the director had better be a fellow-minded person, because only faith can make it true.
Looking at the entire Chinese film industry, there is probably only one person who may be qualified for this job, Xu Ke! "
Shen Xudong was delighted: "Director Xu just signed a film contract with us, but he doesn't have personal freedom... No matter what you tell the truth or not, I will definitely invest in "Detective Dee"!"
The script in his hand is "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire".
The first of the Detective Dee series, it is also the Dee Renjie film with the best quality and reputation!
Despite Chen Guofu's sincerity, there is a big logical bug here - Xu Ke signed a priority investment agreement with Tianmei.
The content is - the works he creates will be given priority to Tianmei Company for investment and development.
But...it doesn't mean that Xu Ke is Tianmei's contracted director. He has strong autonomy.
If he takes over the filming of a foreign film like "Detective Dee", Tianmei Company has no right to interfere.
Shen Xudong was not interested in the reason why Chen Guofu came to see him. It was just because Hua Yi was not optimistic about it...
After all, the cost is 100 million.
After Chen Guofu joined Huayi, he worked on two projects: "The Ghost in My Heart" and "Li Mi's Conjecture"...
Market returns are just that.
No matter how much Di Renjie saves, no, no matter how much he saves, "Tongtian Empire" will cost at least 80 million...
If you look for Xu Ke, you won’t be able to get it without 100 million...
It is impossible for Huayi to bet!
In the original time and space, Hua Yi dared to bet because Chen Guo was rich in "The Wind"...
What does he have this time?
His guess was correct. Chen Guofu had already met Xu Ke. Xu Ke was also very satisfied with the book of "Tongtian Empire" and suggested that he go to Shen Xudong...
I have to meet with the hotel host today, which may delay my time...
