Chapter 759 Retirement (Part 2)

Two days ago, Shen Xudong came to the company early in the morning.

Holding a cup of coffee, I stood in front of the window and had a bird's eye view of the bustling scene below the 18th floor. The streets were packed with people...

After thinking for a while, he went to find Gao Fenfen. When Gao Fenfen saw him, he first joked, "Hey, isn't this our Shenzi facing the sea with spring flowers blooming!" ’

"What faces the sea and blooms in spring?"

"Everyone is saying that you have been busy chopping firewood, feeding horses, and caring about grain and vegetables recently..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "...I'm on vacation and writing something by the way. You don't think I'm the kind of person who doesn't do his job right?"

"Write something?"

"Yes!" Shen Xudong nodded: "Two new novels have been sent to Shen Haobo and will be published at the beginning of the year!"

"...That's pretty much it."

Gao Fenfen rolled his eyes and was about to complain about the daily life of the company when Shen Xudong said directly: "I want to stay in Hollywood for a few years! I'll leave the domestic affairs to you."

Gao Fenfen's first reaction was to refuse...

That’s crazy. Tianmei Media is in the expansion and development stage. Are you going to give up and leave?

Shen Xudong said: "Film and television companies are different from ordinary companies. They rely on film and television dramas to conquer the world. So what do film and television dramas rely on? Creativity and talent... We are not lacking in these aspects... Besides, I am just going to the United States. , it’s not like we’re going to Mars. If you have anything you can’t decide, you can call me…”

"Didn't you say that the Chinese film market is booming and has huge potential..."

"right."

"Then why are you going to America?"

"I want to take control in detail and learn about the production process of Hollywood and the film industry..."

"You can go there for a few months and then come back..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, I have to stay immersed for a few years... Moreover, I feel that it is not appropriate for me to stay in China!"

Gao Fenfen frowned: "Isn't it appropriate?"

Shen Xudong explained with a grimace: "Well, I am naturally unable to control my mouth. I used to be quiet and no one would care about what I said, but it's different now... I'm really worried that trouble will come from my mouth!"

Gao Fenfen understood what Shen Xudong meant. When talking in private, Shen Xudong was a very nationalist. It didn't matter, but he hated the West extremely and often spread ideas in the company...

Many words, once known to the outside world, will be criticized verbally and writtenly...

Therefore, when Shen Xudong brought up this reason, Gao Fenfen shut up, and then Chen Xi, Huang Bin, Zhang Fan and senior executives of the qualified company came...

Shen Xudong announced his decision.

…

Zhong Lifang obviously knew about this and asked directly: "How long are you going to stay in the United States?"

"It can take as short as three years, or as long as five years... It depends on when Wonderful Studio will be acquired!"

"Being acquired?"

"You didn't think I would build a media group in the United States, did you? I'm not even American!"

"...Then why are you going to Hollywood?"

Shen Xudong explained: "I mainly go to study... and by the way, I can build a big studio and sell it at a good price... In addition, I will definitely return to China from time to time!"

"...That's fine."

Zhong Lifang nodded...

Shen Xudong had a drink with her: "How about Hong Kong?"

"...What else can we do? Those people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are too reckless and have all kinds of calculations. They feel that Jiahe wants to monopolize the sky and monopolize Hong Kong entertainment...and then they will target us!"

Golden Harvest is a giant in Hong Kong, with one-stop services for production, distribution and screening...

Theater chains accounted for 40%, and key Southeast Asian theater chains accounted for 45%...

Zhong Lifang continued: "Liu Dehua and Wang Jing made it clear that they would not cooperate with us... A boycott of Jiahe broke out some time ago..."

Shen Xudong was curious: "Boycott? Why didn't I know? Is it big?"

Gao Fenfen interrupted: "It's a small matter, I didn't tell you!"

"Why the boycott?"

Zhong Lifang: "Didn't you ban Peng Haoxiang and Du Wenze? They are very unhappy... The group led by Jiang Zhiqiang made all kinds of obstacles..."

"Then what? How to settle it?"

Chung Lifang waved her hand: "What can we do? We have 17 theaters in Hong Kong and 180 theaters in Southeast Asia... We shoot more than a dozen movies and more than five TV series a year, supporting nearly 2,000 Hong Kong filmmakers. They want We need to eat when we start working...According to what you said, with the masses supporting us, they won’t be able to cause much trouble!"

Speaking of this, Zhong Lifang asked: "By the way, can PPTV handle five TV series a year?"

"You have to eat even if you can't eat it... We need to establish a VIP system, and it is compulsory to have an independent film library. Labor is cheaper in Hong Kong, so we can sign more film contracts... I estimate that in two years, the copyright of online videos will skyrocket!"

"…OK!"

Chen Xi suddenly interjected: "...Be careful, the Hong Kong entertainment industry is very chaotic. In the past, all kinds of grudges and grudges were made, and whoever was dissatisfied would just kill them with a single shot!"

Zhong Lifang was speechless: "...you think making movies, times have changed a long time ago!"

Shen Xudong chuckled and said nothing. Zhong Lifang thought of something: "Hey, when you go to the United States, will you film "The Grandmaster"?"

"Let's shoot. I have written the script. When "33 Days After Love" is released, I will start filming "The Grandmaster"."

…

The news that Shen Xudong is preparing to go to the United States has not been disclosed to the outside world, but... he appears in public less and less...

In the whole year of 2009, except for the promotion of "33 Days of Love", he appeared for more than ten days and then disappeared in various ways. Even "The Founding of a Republic" had a box office of more than 400 million, and during the Lunar New Year, "October Siege" and "Three Guns" "Surprise" and "Assembly", he didn't show up much...

Even when the box office of "Avatar" exceeded 1 billion and a bunch of filmmakers expressed their opinions on Weibo, he didn't join in the fun...

By 2010, there was no news related to Shen Xudong in domestic entertainment for a whole year. Of course, he did not disappear. "The Twilight Saga", "The Hangover" and the animated film "Despicable Me" were sold all over the world. The producers and producers His name is written in the film credits column.

Including three domestic films that exceeded 500 million, the producer of "Guan Yu", "Longling Labyrinth", and "Let the Bullets Fly" also has his name on it...

But he just won’t give any interviews!

Even Tianmei Media is divided into three: PPTV is independently operated, Jiahe Cinema is independently operated, and Tianmei Entertainment (specializes in the production of variety shows) - launched two phenomenal variety shows, "Run" and "The Voice of China"...

He didn't even return home!

Many people speculated that he was learning from Duan Yongping and retired from behind the scenes to give guidance...

Of course, more people speculate that he has immigrated abroad...

Even though there were calls to inquire about Tianmei Company, no one responded.

Oh, the only thing that remains the same as before is the scandal reports about Shen Xudong. Even in the United States, there are rumors of scandals with many female celebrities. He was even photographed hugging Julia Voss and Marion Wackett in the corner of the party. Various kisses, hugs and finally walked into the private room...

Julia Vos later came out to explain: "Have you ever been in a situation where you drink a lot and everyone is your best friend? What's the big deal?"

Oh, Julia Voss was picked up by Fantastic Studios and starred in "Death Divination", "Escape Room"...

As for Marion Wackett, she is a French model and is planning to arrange for her to star in "The Hunger Games"...
