Chapter 732 Almost Broke the Precept!

Jiang Wen is really a scammer!

The key point is that he still has a lot of admirers and fallacies, leaving a lot of classic remarks, such as "An actor who doesn't want to be a director is not a good actor", "If you make money and act arrogant, you are not called arrogant. If you don't have money, you are arrogant. If you have talent, you are arrogant." That's called horizontal. I feel that money cannot buy the future, nor can it buy talent, nor can it buy wisdom. ’…

By the way, "What I provide to the audience is definitely not boiled water. I want to make wine and get drunk with everyone in the theater." ’…

Shen Xudong knew this product was a scam before, but after contacting it, he realized that it was really a scam!

It's like this. "The Thief of Officials" has been sent to him. It stands to reason that Jiang Wen should devote himself to the creation of "Let the Bullets Fly", but he has too many fantastic ideas!

He wants to do the "Wind" TV series...

And a script is being written!

Is he really speechless? Can't you just keep working on "Let the Bullets Fly"?

It has been rumored for a long time that two of the most entertaining investor traps in China won the award, namely "Mercedes-Benz Transformed into Xiali" by Jiang Wen and "Days of Wild" directed by Wang Jiawei, which "lost investors to the point of being hospitalized"...

In fact, it is rumored that Mercedes-Benz Transforms into Xiali is not a work directed by Jiang Wen. It is "Song of Qin", starring Jiang Wen. The director is Zhou Xiaowen, and he is the chief director of Zhang Jizhong's version of "Dragon"!

By the way, "Song of Qin" premiered in Shenzhen that year. After it was released, there was no attendance for a few days...

Because it sucks.

Later, in order to make money, film producers cut out a scene of less than 30 seconds of breastfeeding a child and turned it into a DVD cover to sell it.

Well, that's it.

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong felt that Jiang Wen couldn't let Jiang Wen wander any longer.

Directly intervened...

Specifically, it took back the TV series adaptation rights of "The Wind".

Without the copyright, Jiang Wencai prepared "Let the Bullets Fly"...

In fact, from a purely investment perspective, investing in Jiang Wen's movies is definitely not cost-effective!

No serious person would invest in a movie, just waiting to lose money, right? Despicable!

However, "Let the Bullets Fly" was an accident!

This movie has reached its peak both in terms of reputation and business!

Someone asked Jiang Wen if he would never be able to make a movie like "Let the Bullets Fly" again?

In fact, it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, good sentences are born in nature and can be found by chance.

This is especially true for movies. A good movie requires a group of important creatives, the collision of wisdom, and the hard work of the draft.

Many times the hard work you put in may not necessarily impress the audience, and it is difficult to make the audience empathize.

Therefore, Shen Xudong is only planning to invest in one "Let the Bullets Fly" and will not even interfere in the casting - he really can't think of an actor who can replace Zhou Runfa (Huang Silang)!

However, Deng Chao became a director...

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said encouragingly: "Come on!"

…

Shen Xudong has always been quite optimistic about Deng Chao!

Therefore, I don’t understand why he fell behind in later generations...

Oh, in my memory, Huang Bo and Deng Chao were left behind in the six major Mesozoic eras...

Huang Bo fell behind because his acting skills had become greasy, his professional ability had seriously deteriorated, and his popularity with the audience had dropped significantly. Deng Chao... I guess it was just backlash and laziness.

From 2019 to 2023, for 4 years, I only directed and acted in one movie ("Ping Pong: Jedi Strikes Back") and one movie unit ("Hometown/The Road Back Home"), and then, there was nothing...

Deng Chao starred in "The Sun Burns Heart" at the age of 36. He won the Golden Goblet Best Actor at the age of 37 and the Golden Rooster Best Actor at the age of 38. In the past few years, as the first starring role in the film, he won the leading role in the Chinese film industry. More than 9 billion "box office".

Then, from the age of 39 to 43, the entire four-year golden period of acting was wasted in the variety shows "Running Man" and "Five Ha".

In the past four years, competition among first-line male actors has been fierce. Wu Jing occupies half of the first 10% of film history. Shen Teng has become the king of mainland comedy. Zhang Yi has risen strongly. Yu Hewei has continued to produce masterpieces. Zhu Yilong, Lei Jiayin, Xiao Yang, Dapeng and other "80s" "Later" also joined the competition for first-line middle school students.

What’s worse is that in 2018’s “Galaxy Tutorial”, co-written and directed by Yu Baimei, Deng Chao was able to single-handedly earn nearly 900 million in box office.

And the 2023 "Ping Pong: Jedi Strikes Back" obviously has a good reputation for quality, but the box office only barely exceeded 100 million!

It's a normal thing. You can make money from variety shows, the box office of the movie must be high, it's over-exposed, and you want to play different roles. How can there be such a good thing in this world?

As for Deng Chao’s directorial level.

Personal evaluation: Not as good as Guo Jingming!

No kidding, really, in terms of personal aesthetics, there is a lot of difference!

Deng Chao's several dramas ruined his wife and himself, who were otherwise decent actors, but Guo Jingming used the actors who had almost no acting skills properly and performed their respective duties. They were so handsome that they looked like they were killing themselves...

Just imagine, who else could you find to play the role in your childhood?

And...he was brave enough to use many newcomers who were completely unknown, and their appearance and temperament matched the characters!

"Tiny Times" has really made a large number of newcomers popular, achieving a win-win situation.

It even shows that his skill in selecting actors is high...

There’s really no one left!

In terms of casting, Guo Jingming is really good.

As for personal aesthetics…

During a certain episode of "Tiny Times", Kuo Caijie took a wide-angle shot from above, wearing a fluttering long skirt. She was several steps taller than Deng Chao's picture, composition, and color!

As for Deng Chao, he is also quite awesome!

Although the audience has no impression of his scenes after watching them, the stupid plots, stupid stories, and stupid scenes are like eating shit after watching them. They are unforgettable, lingering, and breathless...

Therefore, Shen Xudong sincerely suggested: "Brother Chao, if you want to be a director, don't make a comedy... Whatever type of script you want, you can come to me and I will help form a screenwriting team!"

…

After chatting with Deng Chao for a few words, Wen Yongshan came over. Shen Xudong smiled and asked, "How was it?"

"They're all pretty much the same...Director, are all mainland movie shootings done this way?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, I'm just faster..."

Wen Yongshan pouted and asked deliberately: "Director...are you fast?"

After looking at her expression, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered a sentence: 'There are good ventriloquists in the southern country, and the king will not come to court early from now on'...

Swallowing, lowering his voice, he retorted: "You don't know whether I am fast or not?"

"...Would you like to try again?"

Shen Xudong shook his head with difficulty: "Forget it, I'm very busy..."

Shen Xudong didn't want to destroy the flag he had just set because of his lust for pleasure!

Wen Yongshan was very sensible: "Then I'll leave first... Director, if you have any ideas, please send me a text message at any time."

"...Don't rush back to Hong Kong. Go find Chen Xi and ask her to arrange some TV series for you..."

"TV drama?"

"Well," Shen Xudong nodded: "In the Mainland, the best way to quickly gain recognition is to star in TV series... If you stay in Hong Kong, there will be no good development."

"...What about Fu Ying and the others?"

"Fu Ying and Stephy Tang have their own management teams to help them plan their careers. How about you?"

"I see…"

Wen Yongshan nodded.

"Okay...you go first..."

Shen Xudong watched her leave, came to his senses, and then saw Liao Gaoxiang staring at him, and was startled: "When did you come?"

"Just now..." Liao Gaoxiang pursed his lips in the direction Wen Yongshan left: "Who is that woman?"

"The actress signed by Zhong Lifang, a newcomer, is developing in Hong Kong..."

"...You have a close relationship with her?"

"...It's okay, we have crossed paths..." Shen Xudong changed the subject: "What do you want to do when you come to my crew?"
