Chapter 665 "Who Is in Charge of My Youth"?

"Five Feet to the End"!

The love between a terminally ill boy and a terminally ill girl, the momentary disillusionment of life and death, is full of dramatic conflict.

The entry point for this subject is very convenient: the shooting cost is low; the core audience entering the theater is: 20-year-old sophomore students. Main purpose: fall in love; focus on vulnerable groups, occupy the moral high ground, and have a good reputation...

In the original time and space, more than ten movies of this type were born after "The Fault in Our Stars", such as "Me Before You", "Everything", "Back to Mars", "Midnight Sun", and "Five Feet Apart" etc…

Except for the cross-planet romance in "Back to Mars", which cost too much and lost money, most of them made money!

The plot outlines of these movies are the same: getting sick at a young age - getting to know each other and falling in love - mutual encouragement - life discussion - thoughtful ending;

Since the company has produced "The Fault in Our Stars", let's continue with it!

Oh, that’s right, the studio didn’t launch a single work in the first half of this year…

No way, four horror movies plus one "Twilight"...

There are only five works this year.

No, there will be a "Cloverfield" movie released in April, but the upper limit of this movie is here.

There is a lack of hit independent dramas like "Juno" and "The Fault in Our Stars"!

The situation that was finally opened up by two independent feature films cannot be lost like this.

Did Joseph not think of this question?

I can definitely think of it, but he is very busy. In addition to Fantastic Studio, he also has his own career, such as "Hell" produced with Lionsgate, and "The Uninvited" produced with Paramount...

"Hell" received poor reviews and box office, and did not meet expectations. Joseph was busy blaming others, so how could he have time to think about the studio?

Therefore, we still have to rely on Shen Xudong!

…

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong opened his notebook, found the 'Get Rich Plan', clicked on it, and then flipped through the column of low-cost comedies...

With the release of "Iron Man", Hollywood will inevitably move towards the era of commercial large-scale productions where comic book superheroes are the mainstream!

The financial crisis is coming soon, Hollywood is in a money shortage, and comic book adaptation is the most stable genre.

Then, inevitably, the living space of other genres was infinitely compressed. Therefore, Martin Scorsese bombarded Marvel. His "The Irishman" could not be released in theaters, including this time "Killers of the Flower Moon". Sign in to Apple TV+ streaming…

But there are also independent productions that have broken through, such as A24, which has become a new Oscar seed candidate after Weinstein Films.

Of course, Shen Xudong has no interest in Oscar.

The works he recorded in the "Getting Rich Plan" are basically examples of using small things to make big things happen.

Horror movies, comedies and... sentimental movies.

The porn genre is very simple, just the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series...

Hey, with the development of the times, erotic movies are becoming more and more equated with porn films!

Even European filmmakers who hold high the banner of art will find it difficult to produce outstanding works such as "Love in Venus", "Love", and "The Apartment".

Shen Xudong already has plans for the horror genre. After a while, he will go to the United States, invest 2 million US dollars in "Insidious", and then bring James Wan into the company...

Add in Jason Blum, and at least half of the future blockbuster horror genres will come from Fantastic Studios!

So, now the option is clear: comedy!

The producer of the "Hangover" series is J.C. Spink is Warner Bros.'s official producer. In addition to "The Hangover", he also has "Fake Family", "Leap Year" and "Arthur", all of which are small and big.

Shen Xudong originally wanted to make it himself - the core of this thing is to search for lost memories after a hangover.

But Shen Xudong is really not good at pooping and peeing...

He was not satisfied with the scripts written by several screenwriters...

Plus I was busy with "The Twilight Saga" at the time, so I simply gave up!

However, at the moment, the studio has no good options. When it comes time to start this project, I give it a √;

Then read on, "Evil Boss", "Armageddon"...

Cross it out, this is the work of the Bad Boy Gang, Shen Xudong can't get along with them!

"Female Spy", "Hot Cop", "Bridesmaids"...

Artwork by Paul Feig.

Is it possible to poach him?

If not, can you provide the plot framework yourself and ask a screenwriter to write it?

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone vibrated. I looked at it and saw that it was Zhao Baogang...

…

After the success of "Struggle", Zhao Baogang became a famous director of first-line TV series.

However, "Harbin at Night" and "Paris Fairy Tale" broadcast in the same year had poor ratings and reputation!

In particular, "Harbin at Night" was scolded by the media, saying, "I can't believe this is something Zhao Baogang made." Moreover, these actors, handsome men and beautiful women, are just like an idol drama in the name of the Anti-Japanese War. They chase away the Japanese and convert them while talking about love! ’

Zhao Baogang was quite depressed.

At this stage, Zhao Baogang still has something to pursue!

In addition to making money and ratings, he also wants good reviews.

After filming the spy drama "Sophie's Confession", he decided to start "Landing, Please Turn on Your Cell Phone" and "Who Makes the Call of My Youth"...

Well, according to Shen Xudong's suggestion, Gao Xuan and Ren Baoru were hired as screenwriters to create three pairs of characters and let them relate to each other. The themes were all about realizing ideals, and revolved around the contradiction between two generations and the gap between ideals and reality...

The youth story of three cousins ​​in a family. They entered society as adults at the same time and felt the cruelty of society.

The script was released and he probably read it once...

Then decided to take the photo!

Of course, before the official start of filming, he decided to seek advice from Shen Xudong.

Of course Shen Xudong is very happy!

Zhao Baogang has always had a good relationship with him. When they met, he first complained about "The Deer and the Cauldron"...

Huang Xiaoming’s version!

Brother Xiao Ming's "The Deer and the Cauldron" premiered on March 5 and received a very bad reputation. The general attitude of netizens and viewers towards Brother Xiao Ming is that he is completely separated from the character and is too glib and artificial.

The print media is better, but there are all kinds of criticism online, from the dubbing to the plot, from the gangster scenes to various actors, especially Wei Xiaobao's wives.

Looking at the current perspective, greasy is greasy, and beauties are really eye-catching: A Ke played by Cai'er Ying, Shuang'er played by He Zhuoyan, Princess Jianning played by Shu Chang, Zeng Rou played by Li Feier, Mu Jianping played by Liu Yun, and Liu Zi played by Liu Zi. Fang Yi, and Sha Yi's wife Hu Ke plays Su Quan...

What a beautiful woman!

But now in 2008, it is ugly to call one against the other!

Of course, Shen Xudong and Zhao Baogang chatted mainly about the TV series itself: "The post-production process was too rushed, and the overall color saturation was too high, giving people a slightly disgusting gorgeousness. The dubbing also sounded weird. It can be said that it was forced to Good cards are played badly.”

"I heard it was to meet the deadline...it was completed three months ahead of schedule!"

"No wonder..."

"Hey, look at the script of "Who is in charge of my youth"..."

"So thin?"

"How could I give you all the scripts for the first three episodes!"
