Chapter 712 News Report

Shen Xudong has never targeted any director, as long as the other party is not looking for trouble.

In fact, from a purely personal perspective, Shen Xudong respects director Wu Yusen!

A successful young man, he was favored by the martial arts master Chang Cheh. He became Chang Cheh's assistant director at a young age and established a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry with films such as "The Emperor's Flower" and "Fa Qian Han";

After that, it started to go high and low, and was once transferred to Taiwan by Xinyi City.

Fortunately, with the strong support of his friend Xu Ke and others, he made the film "A Better Tomorrow" that shocked the world.

He pioneered a unique violent aesthetic style and enjoys a global reputation. He is one of the most successful and important Hong Kong master-level commercial directors.

The most common theme in Wu Yusen's movies is morality.

He is good at shaping heroes, and most of his films are stories about heroes who sympathize with each other and join forces to eradicate evil forces and uphold justice.

This process is often accompanied by the sacrifice of heroes, so most of Wu Yusen's films have a strong sense of tragedy.

Back then, on the eve of the decline of Hong Kong movies, there was a wave of departures from Hong Kong for the United States. Even master directors such as Xu Ke and Lam Ling-tung failed to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Only Wu Yusen, with "Broken Sword", "Face/Off", Works such as "Mission: Impossible 2" have achieved real success.

But this characteristic also limits him. It feels like every movie he shoots is always a male protagonist wearing a windbreaker, using two sand eagles that can never run out of bullets to attack a group of gangsters.

His movies have no more than thirty characters, and they can definitely give you a hearty aesthetic of violence.

"Red Cliff"... there are too many characters, but he doesn't have the ability!

It’s a little bit inconceivable that a movie with an original work like “Manhunt” could be screwed up by him...

The saddest thing is that judging from the assassination and dancing at the beginning of the movie "The Hunt", he was already filming very seriously!

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could only reach this level...

Try my best, it still doesn’t look good!

His time has long passed.

Shi Nansheng thought of something: "You said before that in the history of filmmaking, blind changes will be engraved on the pillar of shame?"

"It will definitely happen... Even if there is no written record, every audience member has a strong feeling in their heart..."

"Then do you think "Red Cliff" will be Wu Yusen's end?"

"...No, I heard that Galloping Pony has a good relationship with him, and they seem to be discussing the creation of a new movie!"

"new movie?"

"Well, I heard that they bought the film adaptation rights of "Swordsman" from Xingmei." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly became happy: "They invited me to be a script consultant, and they said that Wu Yusen would be the producer. Filmmaker."

"What, inviting you to cooperate with Wu Yusen, he... what do they think?"

"I guess it's just a stunt..."

Shi Nansheng nodded: "I have read Jianghu, a martial arts novel with a strong flavor. Have you ever thought about adapting it into a movie?"

"Of course I did, but there was no money at the time, and Sing Mei wanted to make it, so I directly sold the film adaptation rights."

"Sold to Tan Hong?"

"Yes, it was originally planned to create "Jianyu Jianghu" after "Tou Mingzhuang", but "Tou Mingzhuang" did not recover the cost, and Qin Hong ran out of money."

"They didn't look for you?"

"I found it," Shen Xudong nodded first, then shook his head: "I was busy with the Three Kingdoms series at the time and had no time to worry about anything else..."

Shi Nansheng probably understands...

While the two were chatting, Shen Xudong's phone vibrated. He quickly took it out, read the content, and couldn't help but smile: "Yesterday's box office of "Jingjue Ancient City" was 2.65 million, and the cumulative box office was 359.2 million...just more than "Titanic"…"

"Refreshed the record?"

Shi Nansheng was a little shocked, and then quickly went to find Xu Ke and several actors to watch the news together...

…

No one can deny its influence in China.

"Don't underestimate movies. Looking at it more broadly, movies are an important part of a country's culture. They are also an important aspect of building a country's cultural imagination. They are part of the country's soft power..."Jingjue Ancient City" broke records, of course. Qualified to be in the news!”

"But I heard that many people criticized "Jingjue Ancient City"..."

"Entertainment-type commercial films don't need to be so detailed..."

Just as he was talking, the host on the TV said: "I just received news that the Chinese movie "The Ancient City" has been released for 22 days, and the global box office exceeded 80 million US dollars, and the mainland box office was 360 million, surpassing "Titanic" Shen Feng Ten years of records have attracted huge attention...

This morning, a seminar on "The Ancient City" sponsored by the Ministry of Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Press and Publication Administration and hosted by the China Film Archive was held in Beijing..."

Then a bunch of leaders appeared in the camera, and finally Gao Fenfen finished: ""Jingjue Ancient City" is a Chinese-style adventure story. There are so many adventure films, adventure novels, and movies abroad that are very popular, and our boss Our ancestors left so many treasures, and there must be many unimaginable wonderful stories happening among them, so we filmed it..."

"We have a long history, a rich tradition, a splendid culture, and story resources contained in history, tradition and culture, which can be said to be inexhaustible... We always believe that the Chinese audience will We support Chinese movies!”

His expression was very serious, but Shen Xudong couldn't help but want to laugh...

I don’t know who prepared the speech for her. It’s so cool!

Shi Nansheng was watching, and then the camera stopped, and the host began to report on the Olympics. She was stunned for a moment: "...No more?"

"Well...it's already pretty good. I gave you 1 minute!"

Deng Chao, who had been silent next to him, said: "It's 1 minute and 20 seconds. The time I counted..."

Oh, Deng Chao played Shao Jianbo in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"...
