Chapter 766 Premiere

There are many reports about the dispute between the first sisters in Tianmei’s agency department...

Just like Huayi's internal competition for the first sister back then.

And now that self-media is rampant, entertainment gossip and various rumors attract traffic, and there are even more reports!

Of course Shen Xudong also knows...

Last year, Chen Xi talked to him about the battle over the top of the brokerage department.

What she said was very serious - for example, "Shantou culture ruined TVB"...

To be honest, Shen Xudong didn't take it seriously...

Hilltop?

What a hairy head!

He is sure that these top people will definitely establish their own business!

How old are you? The top celebrities bring their own fans and traffic, and can completely transform into producers and producers. Even if they star in a bad movie, a TV station will pay for it...

When the top people realize their own value, how can they be willing to let the brokerage company take a commission?

"It doesn't matter if you are an A-list star or not. If your contract expires, don't renew it... It's time to leave, just leave!"

Shen Xudong answered this...

Just like Chen Hao, he set up his own studio, making one movie and one TV series a year, with freedom and a lot of money.

With the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series in hand, Chen Hao has no shortage of film appointments. Once "The Hunger Games" is released, she will be another Chinese female star to "break into" Hollywood after Zhang Ziyi...

Chen Xi... was reluctant to part with it - last year, Tang Yan and Zhao Liying's combined commissions exceeded 60 million!

Moreover, it can be seen that the current period is when artist remuneration is constantly reaching new limits. Artist management business is also an important profit segment for film and television companies. For many companies, the gross profit margin of artist management is around 50%!

Just let it go?

"You can choose to invest in the studio or set up a joint venture company. When the time comes, the artist's projects will be invested through the joint venture company... and you will share the accounts with them!"

Chen Xi thought it made sense, and then left it alone...

Now it seems that it is indeed quite serious!

You must know that no matter how fiercely Lotus and Bingbing fought back then, they would still greet each other when they met - the superficial etiquette work should still be done in place.

Zhao Liying and Tang Yan are on good terms, they don't even bother to do superficial work!

Of course Shen Xudong also noticed it and was a little shocked...

But he didn't have time to think too much, a group of people lined up to congratulate him...

He could only suspend his thoughts.

…

The fighting scenes in "The Grandmaster" are really exciting!

Especially the rainy night fight scene at the beginning!

In the past Hong Kong martial arts films, the characters were often stained with some powder. When the fist was punched, the powder would fly to highlight the power. "The Grandmaster" reflected a similar effect through dynamic scenes of splashing water...

It was originally Wang Jiawei's innovation, but now it is Shen Xudong's.

"Kung Fu is two words, one horizontal and one vertical. If you are right, you will stand, if you are wrong, you will fall!"

With a paradoxical line, Chen Shi, played by Donnie Yen, penetrated a street...

Then go north to spread Wing Chun!

Shen Xudong's version of "The Grandmaster" is not a martial arts film. Although the fighting is very good, it is a realistic take on the martial arts of the Republic of China...

The martial arts organizations at that time were divided into two major systems: the official and the private. The official was represented by the central and local martial arts centers initiated by Zhang Zhijiang, while the private was represented by Huo Yuanjia's "Jingwu Gymnastics Association" in Shanghai and the "Zhonghua Gymnastics Association" organized by Li Cunyi and Ye Yunbiao in Tianjin. The "Martial Arts Club" is relatively well-known, with its respective divisions in the north and south giving birth to the prosperity of martial arts sects.

Tianjin is very close to the hot-blooded Baoding and Cangzhou, and the origin of martial arts has become the stage of "The Grandmaster".

As a major shipping port, Tianjin is famous for smuggling guns and drugs, so the Shandong governor intervened in Tianjin.

Martial arts schools depended on the military circles, which calculated their interests. Liang Qichao's promotion of the so-called "Chinese Samurai Way" was ultimately a piece of paper hanging high in the temple. However, the political methods that the powerful were good at were silent and lifeless.

Throughout the movie, everyone is bound, as if a thread is entangled with each other, and the whole body is affected by the pull. No one can easily cross the thunder pool.

Everyone was sinking and struggling in helplessness. The master was plotting against the apprentice, and the apprentice also questioned the master, which seemed very aggrieved.

In fact, for a long time, it was difficult for the real civilian warrior class to see the light of day.

The whole story is very simple. Chen Shi went north to start a business and entered a highly mature industry. If he wanted to quickly establish a branch and occupy the market share, he had to compete with the existing players and gain industry recognition and peer reviews as soon as possible. Play on your own merits.

However, according to local rules in Tianjin, you cannot kick out the gyms all the way to the end, which will disrupt the entire industry ecology. You cannot kick out more than eight gyms. After the eighth gym is beaten, the top expert in the industry will come out to defeat the kicker, and this person will quit Tianjin forever. In the martial arts industry, his master can stay and open a gym to teach apprentices.

This strange rule forced Chen Shi to conspire with the local martial arts group represented by Lao Zheng: In order to stay, he taught an apprentice who could compete in eight martial arts schools. The apprentice would eventually be defeated by Lao Zheng, and Chen Shi stayed. .

This plan is inevitably cold-blooded...

But Chen Shi was absolutely purposeful from the beginning, so he accepted an apprentice with a bad character - he felt that because when he accepted the apprentice, the apprentice was lustful and secretly looked at his wife...

A year later, the apprentice started to play in the gym, and everything progressed according to the rules and plan. Lao Zheng also took action to torture and kill the apprentice...

But Chen Shi finally gained recognition from the Tianjin martial arts and military circles.

During the celebration, he struggled for a long time, but he still couldn't help but seek justice for his apprentice.

When loyalty outweighs interests, the world of the apocalypse finally shines brightly.

In the last street fight, Donnie Yen once again staged the fight from morning to night, taking a break in the middle to eat a bowl of noodles...

This fight scene lasted for a full eight minutes and was both beautiful and practical.

Shen Xudong is not Xu Haofeng. I don't understand why some people think Xu Haofeng's fighting scenes are good...

Martial arts action movies have developed over the years, from Shaw Brothers' hard-hitting Kung Fu movies, to Jackie Chan's action design that makes full use of props and environmental space, to Tsui Hark's chic and freehand master demeanor in Once Upon a Time, and finally to modern action that incorporates modern fighting. movie, there are also routine kung fu movies like Ip Man in the middle. How come Xu Haofeng has developed into a weirdo that has neither aesthetics nor practicality, nor realism and freehand brushwork?

Many people analyze that Xu Haofeng understands fighting as one move after another. I can absolutely restrain my strength with my skills...

But the real situation is: if you defeat ten enemies with one force, you will be beaten to death by wearing protective gear, and your helmet will be dented!

…

At the end of the movie, Shen Xudong accepted an interview with the media: "I actually don't yearn for the martial arts in the Republic of China, but I know that the martial arts in the Republic of China is a social class with its rules and its methods of operation. But after the warlord separatism began, the social structure changed. These rules will deform, and this is when humanity comes out."

"It can be regarded as a glorious failure. The person who opened the martial arts school fought hard, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs and he ran away.

The high-ranking people from all walks of life are well-dressed, but they are actually pussies who cannot afford to lose. His words are full of moral principles, but no one will let go of the interests in his hands! "

"This is what I wanted to express when I made "The Grandmaster"!"

"In addition, "The Grandmaster" is actually a movie whose form is greater than its content. Therefore, the story selection is very simple, almost like the kind where you can know the ending after watching the beginning..."

This is based on the failure experience of Xu Haofeng's version of "The Master" - the more formal a film is, the more it needs a simple and clear story.

For example, "Rashomon" and "Seven Samurai", and others such as "Gunfire" and "Two Flags", these are all classic structures that can be explained clearly in one sentence and are extremely clear.

The original version of "The Master" is too complicated. It spends more than ten minutes in the beginning talking about whether it is teaching or not. What does this thing have to do with the main plot?

In particular, the appearance of Huang Jue, Lao Zheng's apprentice, directly disrupts the narrative - if the role of Huang Jue is set up to enhance the pattern and enhance the background of the times, it is not impossible, but it cannot be interrupted halfway to destroy the structure. You can show up at the end to clean up the mess.
