Chapter 670 Ban?
When "Seeing the Dragon Removes Armor" was being prepared, a Korean producer joined the show.
South Korea's Taiwon Entertainment Company, the boss is Zheng Taiyuan, very famous, at least before the chaebols entered the entertainment industry...
"Family Glory", "Incheon Landing", and "Kim Curator" are all works of this company.
It's a pity that Korea's chaebols ultimately made the decision. Later, CJ Entertainment, SHOWBOX (owned by Orion), Lotte Entertainment...
Including Warner and 20th Century Fox entering the Korean market and establishing Warner Bros. Korea and Century Fox.
A company like Taiyuan Entertainment without financial support can easily go bankrupt!
Of course, at this stage, Taiyuan Entertainment's distribution capabilities are still very good, helping "See the Dragon Remove Armor" to win 378 opening theaters!
"Zhao Zilong 2" was released by CJ and opened in 378 theaters...
The most speechless thing is that Korean audiences have similar opinions on "See the Dragon and Undress" and "Zhao Zilong 2". Both of them have mostly positive reviews. Moreover, you can see that the reviews are almost the same. They are similar to "no exaggerated stunts, and a thorough presentation of horseback fighting." process'…
‘How handsome! ’
Of course, the mainstream media in South Korea have completely different evaluations of the two films. They believe that "Zhao Zilong 2" perfectly continues the production style of "Zhao Zilong" and is a 'real big production'. As for "See the Dragon Disarm", most of them say one sentence 'disappoint others'!
This was not arranged by Shen Xudong...
Shen Xudong doesn’t know whether CJ Entertainment has any arrangements...
Shen Xudong was busy running road shows and had no time to think about these things.
According to the itinerary, the creative team will visit 15 cities in 11 days!
The most popular viewing period for commercial movies is the first two weeks...
What's more, "The King of Kung Fu" will be released on April 24th, and it is fully booked, which is only 21 days.
Shen Xudong doesn't need to rush like this, he is a producer.
However, it was impossible for publicity to ignore a person with such a huge traffic, so based on his opinions, we arranged several activities on campus to share his creations.
Shen Xudong is quite happy to participate in such activities.
At this time, he was in the auditorium of Zhejiang University, sharing and communicating with teachers and students about film.
He talked about it all before, so there is no need to elaborate. During the question and answer session, a boy stood up and asked: "Producer Shen, do you think film and television creations must respect history?"
Shen Xudong thought for a while and replied: "Of course film and television dramas are not documentaries, but at least we must respect basic historical facts. After all, our faith is history!"
A teacher on the stage answered curiously: "Faith?"
"Yes! When I was in the United States, some friends asked me if I believed in God. Of course I said no, and they told me how amazing God is..."
"For a while, I also felt that people who have faith seem to be awesome, and I don't seem to be low. I even bought a Bible and read it. To be honest, I feel that the Bible is similar to "The Romance of the Gods", just a few Myths and legends are not very interesting... Later, I started to think about the Chinese people’s beliefs!”
“One day, my dad called me and asked me to pay for a family tree, and then I understood the Chinese belief: leave a name in history!
In fact, in China, every dynasty that claims to be orthodox will take the lead in compiling the history of the previous dynasty, the Twenty-Four Histories, I believe you have read it more or less, this thing is very rare in the world, no country has Officials will come forward to revise the history books!
Even ordinary Chinese people will have their families write family trees, which is the history of the family.
For the Chinese, history books not only allow people to understand what happened in the past, but also play a role similar to the religious classics of other ethnic groups.
History is the centripetal force that unites the Chinese nation and gives Chinese people a sense of cultural belonging. This emotion is no less than the Western emotion towards religion. "
"Moreover, this thing has been ingrained in the genes of every Chinese, so when you see random movies and TV dramas, you will be angry!"
Hearing this, a girl stood up: "According to what you said, all historical dramas must have flaws!"
"Yes, so I am talking about respect, not conformity. These are two concepts..."
"First of all, I am a screenwriter. From a screenwriter's perspective, I am not a historian, and the professional knowledge required by a screenwriter does not include the Twenty-Four Histories, so there must be limitations. Sometimes, even if the screenwriter intends to follow history, due to his knowledge reserve, His shortcomings and failure to master the method of identifying historical materials will inevitably make people laugh. For example, teacher Chen Daoming in "Kangxi Dynasty" said, "This is the Forbidden City. Genghis Khan invaded from here and destroyed the Song Dynasty." This sentence is obvious. It’s a mistake. The location of the Forbidden City did not belong to the Song Dynasty at that time, but to the Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchen Wanyan clan! But can you say that "Kangxi Dynasty" is not a historical drama? "
"Actually, I think history itself is a complex activity of sifting through various historical materials and looking for comparisons between words and objects. Sometimes what is recorded in books is not necessarily the truth! For example, when the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were compiling "History of the Tang Dynasty" , for political purposes, many jokes were added to smear the emperors of the Tang Dynasty and promote the character of scholar-bureaucrats..."
“Finally, let me tell you my point of view: being consistent with history is what historians have to do, and what screenwriters have to do is to conform to the general trend of history and the general trend of history, and not be pretentious or retrograde on key issues.
We should create logical plots and stories based on the spiritual principles of following historical allusions, respecting historical figures, and respecting traditional culture. Historical elements should recolor our country's cultural totem, rather than shake it or vilify it.
You can't have lines like "Long live the great Shu" or "Long live the great Wei". We all know that the establishment of the Shu was based on the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. Even if you shout "Long live the great Han", I think it's okay. forgive! "
Well, the last sentence still exposed the little chicken feet, which made "Seeing the Dragon Remove Armor"...
"Thank you Xudong, come on," the host controlled the scene: "...last question, the girl wearing glasses..."
"Producer Shen, I read online discussions and they said you had banned Andy Lau? Is that true?"
"Oh, I have to answer this!"
Well, recently the Internet began to report that Shen Xudong blocked Andy Lau...
Simply outrageous!
Obviously, the movie can't compare, so I started to use off-screen tricks...
"You think too highly of me!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "That's Liu Dehua. Who has the ability to ban him? Is the General Administration a good person? They say they want to ban Tang Wei. Reports about Tang Wei are still in the newspapers now... No, you are all College students, can you have some ideas of your own and what should I do to block him?"
"That…"
"Let me explain, I just won't cooperate with him, not now and not in the future, it's that simple!"
"...Isn't this a ban?"
"…Is this how you understand it?"
The event ended with Shen Xudong's rhetorical question. After it ended, Shen Xudong immediately took a bus to the airport. He will go to Wuhan tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow...Hong Kong...
