Chapter 683 May Omitted

In fact, there is no such thing as the "Four Little Actresses" in Hollywood!

If you think about it, you will know that the term Huadan comes from Peking Opera.

But these four are indeed the stars of tomorrow. Kristen Stewart, Emma Roberts, and Blake Lively all belong to an acting family. Amanda Seyfried also has "Happy Death Day" and starred in "Mom" "Mia" will be released in July...

He is indeed far ahead of his peers!

Of these four girls, Shen Xudong has the least impression of Emma Roberts. He only knows that she is Julia's niece...

Emma Roberts seems to have never been successful, or she has no memorable roles.

Reports about Emma on the Chinese Internet are mostly about ‘dressing that can show off long legs even for small people’.

It's quite embarrassing. He is obviously an actor, but he doesn't have any works worth mentioning!

However, after Shen Xudong had some discussions with her, he felt that this girl was very suitable for playing the role of a snake-scorpion villain!

Because she looks very sweet, a typical American sweetheart style from the 1980s.

American sweethearts are like beauties in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, there are so many of them that it’s outrageous…

But this kind of character design is outdated!

Anne Hathaway was ridiculed in various ways...

Therefore, Shen Xudong suggested that she try being a villain.

For example, "The Witch"...

The plot of the movie "The Witch" is very simple. It is the story of a girl who escaped from the laboratory and killed people randomly.

The selling point is plasma…

It’s not that the reformed person’s desire for family and friends is added.

After all, success, fame, fortune, technology... all of these are within easy reach for them.

It takes a director with some brains.

James Wan is quite good, but he is busy filming "Insidious", so let him recommend one.

As a leading figure in the field of horror films, James Wan does not work alone. He is the leader of a group called the "Hua La Gang".

From classmate and friend Leigh Whannell, who jointly "conceived" "Saw", to director Darren Lean Bousman who took over the filming of "Saw" series, and the crazy "Human Skin Inn" Series director Eli Roth, film "House of 1000 Corpses" director Rob Zumby...

They are all members of Huala Gang!

By the way, "House of 1000 Corpses" is the movie that Emily, the red-haired beauty named Raj in "The Big Bang Theory", likes to watch. It's a perverted horror movie!

James Wan recommended John R. Leonardi…

The photographer of "Dead Silence" was also a good friend of James Wan. Later, John served as the director of "Annabelle"...

…

After entering May, Shen Xudong was very unhappy...

The whole person looks full of melancholy. His condition is obviously not suitable for staying on the set. Joseph suggested that he go out for a trip or find a girl...

He knew the reason for his uneasiness!

But I can’t say…

Of course, Shen Xudong did not agree with Joseph's suggestion. Instead, he forced himself to arrive at the set on time every day, get off work at the same time, and go straight back to his room after work...

During this time, he tried hard to recall some independent productions, and combined with the information on the computer, he wrote 7 or 8 script frames.

They are basically horror movies.

There is no other way. Comic book adaptations and big productions are in power, and the only ones that can find new ways to attract audiences are R-rated movies.

If the cost is not high, it can only be a horror movie.

Works like "A Quiet Place", "After Lights Out", "Hold Your Breath", "The Dark Side", and "Death Divination" are all concept-first works.

The so-called concept first means to attract the audience through setting.

By the way, "Super Body" has also been polished.

It’s just that Scarlett Johansson hasn’t evolved into a widowed sister yet. If we start filming now and release it next year, it will always feel like a bit of a loss!

"Iron Man 2" seems to be released on May Day in 2010...

Then just wait!

Scarlett Johansson can’t leave anyway.

…

"Fifteen million is already pretty good, considering we spent almost zero money on this movie!"

Chen Xi called to complain about the box office of "South Star Guest" and the film schedule...

Oh, "South Star" is released on April 30. I didn't think about competing with "The King of Kung Fu". I just wanted to steal some box office on May 1st, and then "Iron Man" was also released!

Shen Xudong certainly knows the power of "Iron Man" - a Hollywood blockbuster with zero publicity and a box office of 92 million.

Since then, Marvel movies have begun to enter China.

By the way, "Iron Man" also triggered the popularity of Hong Kong directors - Wang Jing produced "Future Police"...

Hong Kong movies often ride on the popularity of Hollywood and have produced many remakes and copycat versions of blockbusters, some of which are of good quality. For example, "Oriental Condor" is a copycat of "First Blood", and "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai" has a plot structure that imitates "The Bodyguard". Of course , and more works are of subpar quality, such as "Love Fantasy", a remake of "Titanic"... and "Future Police"...

Of course, the publishers didn't know that. They didn't know much about "Iron Man". Iron Man sounded very low upon hearing it...it was the same as Calabash Man!

Most importantly, their expectations for the box office of "South Star Guest" are not high, just 20 million.

After all, the cost is really low!

On the one hand, Tang Yan and Wang Kai are not well-known movie actors, and their salaries are low, and the production cost is very low, less than 8 million; on the other hand, "South Star Guest" has embedded a lot of brands, which offset most of the the cost of…

Therefore, a box office of 15 million is considered a small profit!

Chen Xi was very unhappy: "...the theater doesn't schedule movies...our attendance rate is very high!"

"...the cast lineup is not good...the theaters now only recognize the cast lineup..."

"Who makes you unwilling to support Tang Yan?"

"I'm not unwilling..."

"Then I will arrange for her to go to the United States immediately. You two will have a meal together, then go shopping hand in hand, and then enter the hotel together..."

"It's passed!" Shen Xudong quickly stopped her: "Tang Yan is an actress... What you did is tainting her efforts... Besides, I'm not interested in girls who are the same before and after!"

"I just let you into the hotel, I didn't let you actually do it... You didn't forget to spread art when you went to Hong Kong. Why are you so stingy?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Forget it, it's not suitable recently..."

Chen Xi sighed: "We can only hope that the next "Stranger" will have a good schedule..."

"I already told you that the May Day shift is inappropriate, but you won't listen!"

"Then you also said that it would be okay for a low-budget movie like this to be released anytime."

"Stop talking back...Have you arranged a new assistant for me?"

Hearing this, Chen Xi immediately said: "I have contacted you, but there are too few that meet your requirements!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "I just want to be good-looking and have a bachelor's degree or above. Is it so difficult?"

"...It's not very high, but you still have to filter out the ones with bad intentions!"

"...I'm a man, why can't I be kind?"

Chen Xi simply told the truth: "I mean it meets my requirements."

"...You are worried that she will trip you up. How is that possible? You are from the company...Oh, then you can slowly screen...don't introduce idiots to me!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong probably understood what Chen Xi meant - not to be too ambitious.

After all, Shen Xudong's assistant is equivalent to Shen Xudong's spokesperson!

If you are a person with a strong desire for power, it is likely to cause internal strife in the company.

…

In late May, Shen Xudong returned to China...
