In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 772 Leader!

I've heard before that everyone with a certain status in the entertainment industry has a sense of ownership.

Especially male artists often give pointers to young female artists on their acting skills and conduct...

Although Shen Xudong is not that old, he has reached the stage of being a master in terms of seniority and status. Therefore, he has the responsibility to maintain the orthodox inheritance of the circle!

Iron shoulders bear moral responsibility.

What's more, Yang Xiaomi is still his fan!

We must not let her go astray...

It's a bit difficult, though.

Fan Yang is a very pragmatic person.

You advise her to calm down and play a role well, instead of admitting that she is popular, she will be more useful.

Instead of delving into the script and facing a role, she would rather take on eight scenes a year, continue to be exposed and collect money, which makes her feel more at ease!

This is her value.

She told Shen Xudong: "This is not the first day I have entered the industry. I know one thing. How can you perform well without good resources? There are many stars with good acting skills in the industry, some who can rise to the top and become famous. Just a few.”

By the way, I asked: "Is Xu Jinglei's acting skills very good?"

Actually, quite right...

High-quality resources can indeed make actors famous...

Without resources, no matter how good you are, it will be difficult to remain popular.

"Besides, if they come to me and I don't answer, but someone else does, and they become popular, what should I do?"

Stick education didn't work very well, so Shen Xudong tried another method and decided to persuade her. Unexpectedly, she didn't buy it at all...

But this kind of embarrassment itself is problematic: "There is something wrong with your thinking... No one can stay popular forever, and audience popularity is very metaphysical..."

"So, I can't miss any opportunity!"

"...Aren't you tired? I heard that you took on eight dramas this year?"

"It's tiring...but there's money to be made!"

"...You can't make enough money. Besides, with me helping you manage your finances, your annual income will be at least 20%, which is more than what you make from one movie!"

"...But if I take the role, I can earn more!"

Shen Xudong lost his patience: "Forget it, do whatever you want... By the way, Tang Yan's agency contract expires next year, and she should set up a studio with the company. Don't target her!"

Yang Xiaomi shook her head: "I never targeted her..."

Although it was an ineffective persuasion, it was not an ineffective experience for Shen Xudong...

At least he was quite happy... No, at least he understood the true thoughts of the new generation's top leaders, which provided him with a sample reference for his future preaching and teaching...

Many things require the accumulation of experience.

It's impossible for Shen Xudong to come up with so much reason...

In addition, "The Grandmaster" is not an invalid movie...

As of September 26, "The Grandmaster" has won the box office championship for three weeks, with a cumulative box office of 449 million.

If nothing else, the final score should be between 550 and 600 million.

Even though this year’s National Day holiday is coming fiercely!

Three movies, "Painted Wall", "The Legend of White Snake" and "A Chinese Ghost Story"...

Among them, "Painted Wall" is the most direct opponent - produced by Guangguang, directed by Chen Jiashang, and the behind-the-scenes lineup is the lineup of "Painted Skin". During the promotion, the main focus is "Painted Skin" upgraded version" and "can surpass "Painted Skin" Only Chen Jiashang himself'!

Yes, Chen Jiashang did not continue to cooperate with Tianmei Company, mainly because he was a bit greedy - after "Painted Skin", "A Chinese Ghost Story" originally wanted him to continue directing, but he quoted 45 million...

This thing is a bit outrageous!

The price tag for the behind-the-scenes team is 45 million. Adding the actors and special effects costs, the cost is easily over 100 million!

Shen Xudong replaced him directly - the package price of Xu Ke and his team was only 30 million.

The director of "A Chinese Ghost Story" hired Shi Nansheng to produce and Lu Yang to direct...

The heroine Nie Xiaoqian was replaced by a fox demon, and Na Zha starred...

Well, Liu Tianxian was not used, mainly because she was not an artist of the company.

Tianmei Media’s first choice for projects must still be its own people!

Shen Xudong watched an internal preview. The story was quite smooth, and the perspective was changed to that of the demon hunter Yan Chixia.

There is no way, if it were from Ning Caichen's perspective, there would be no chance of filming!

After all, Leslie Cheung + Wang Zuxian's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is too difficult to surpass - a ten-mile flat lake is covered with frost, and every inch of blue hair is worried about the old age; looking at the moon shape to protect each other, I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals.

By the way, Yan Chixia is played by Yuan Hua, and Ning Caichen is played by Ma Tianyu...

In fact, no matter how you edit the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story", it is impossible to get out of the big frame of the original work. Therefore, the only things that can be worked on are the scenery, art and fighting special effects.

In addition, there are two Easter eggs in "A Chinese Ghost Story". One is about Yan Chixia accepting Xia Bing as her disciple, and the other is a clip from "Painted Skin 2"...

This is a killer feature!

Oh, "The Legend of White Snake" has been ignored from the beginning. In many marketing drafts and self-media discussions about this year's National Day release, they also used the term "Liao Zhai Story Internal Fighting" to describe it.

Hotel, large private room, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guoli hosted a banquet for Shen Xudong...

Of course Shen Xudong is here!

In the past few years, Shen Xudong has been working in Hollywood and rarely returns to China, but he has not lost contact with him.

"Let the Bullets Fly", "If You Are the One 2", including "Under the Zhengyang Family" with Zheng Xiaolong...

It also co-produced three TV series with Cao Huayi's Xinli Media, "You Are My Brother", "Sparrow" and "BJ Love Story"...

There is no way, he is the third generation leader of the Beijing circle - the first generation is the old Beijing circle headed by Zheng Xiaolong and Wang Shuo, the second generation is represented by Feng Xiaogang and the Huayi brothers, and the third generation is Shen Xudong and Tianmei Media...

From the beginning, Shen Xudong grew up with the support of this group of people, and it was impossible to leave them alone...

When I first entered the film industry, it was really these people who helped me!

Therefore, when they met, Shen Xudong was very low-key: "I'm late, there's a bit of a traffic jam..."

There were seven or eight people in the box, all of whom were core figures in Beijing circles...

Director Chen spoke first: "Did you drive here by yourself?"

"Um…"

"You don't need a driver or a bodyguard?"

Shen Xudong smiled and replied: "I asked them to come back to pick me up!"

He must have bodyguards, not to mention his opponents, he is a celebrity and has many fans. Fanatic fans are the biggest enemies of celebrities.

Are there too many cases where fans attack celebrities?

John Lennon died at the hands of fans.

Grammy-winning singer Rebecca was killed by a fanatic fan...

Shen Xudong didn't dare to take risks.

Feng Xiaogang interjected: "Congratulations first, "The Grandmaster" won the Palme d'Or!"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "...I didn't win the Palme d'Or. The Palme d'Or is from Cannes. I won the Venice Golden Lion..."

Wang Shuo waved his hand: "Same...anyway, these are awards that some directors can only hope for!"
