Chapter 780 Acting in a Show?

According to the definition of the term, the live-action animation synthesis mentioned by Shen Xudong: animation is combined with other types of films and is not in a secondary or auxiliary position.

Typical examples are the American movie "Roger Rabbit" and the Czech movie "Alice in Wonderland".

Hong Kong movies also include "Old Master"...

In 2007, "The Secret of the Treasure Calabash" was released in the Mainland, which was the first live-action animated film in the Mainland. Of course, the most influential one was "Yangtze River No. 7" released in 2008...

However, these films are inseparable from the phenomenon of younger audiences, or they are positioned to target younger age groups.

Until "Monster Hunt" was born!

Shen Xudong is talking about "Monster Hunting"...

The movie "Monster Hunt" is very good in terms of its positioning: a family-friendly fantasy film!

filled this vacancy.

But Wang Changtian obviously has no interest in this type...

It’s understandable that on the one hand, the development cycle is too long, on the other hand, it doesn’t look like a big hit…

Shen Xudong said no more, and soon the topic turned to the second season of "The Voice of China" and the variety show...

The two phenomenal variety shows "The Voice" and "Run" directly made Tianmei Entertainment's name famous, and naturally there are many imitators.

Enlight collaborated with CCTV on two variety shows, "Young China" and "Rising Star"...the latter was translated into "China is Listening"...

Shen Xudong has no impression of these two variety shows!

I guess it's gone.

But when talking about program production, Shen Xudong mentioned "Screening Room".

"At the beginning of this show, I thought about looking for light..."

"Why didn't you look for it?"

"You were working on "Entertainment Scene" and "Entertainment Report" at the time, so it is unlikely that you would take "Screening Room" seriously... Moreover, we met Director Liu Chun of Phoenix TV Station through the introduction of Senior Brother Shi Hang. He liked "The Screening Room" very much. Screening Room", asking a high price..."

"We really didn't dare to take the risk of launching new programs at the time... After I resigned from the TV station..."

If you have dinner with old men or successful people, you will definitely talk about their entrepreneurial experiences!

Wang Changtian previously worked on "BJ Express" on BJ TV. The program was quite successful. Because he reported on something that should not be mentioned, he was forced to leave his job and established the Enlight TV Planning and Research Center...

It was also a coincidence that the next year, the official issued Document No. 82, which began to allow TV stations to "separate production and broadcasting."

Wang Changtian used entertainment news as an entry point and quickly produced the program "China Entertainment Report"; 2 months later, "China Entertainment Report" was successfully broadcast on Hunan TV Life Channel; 3 months later, "China Entertainment Report" 》It even covers more than 50 provincial and municipal TV stations...

Once you get started, the rest will fall into place...

Nazha did not take the initiative to bring up the topic during the whole process...

Well, basically no words.

Basically, Shen Xudong and Wang Changtian were chatting, and Cao Huayi occasionally interrupted...

Wang Changtian liked this kind of atmosphere very much. He drank too much unconsciously and chatted a lot. He complained about the Huayi brothers’ wine club culture: “I have met the Wang brothers on many occasions, and almost every time we meet, they have female companions...and It’s a different female companion!”

"What the Wang brothers inherited was the Manchu style... they ran the company like a theater."

"So, they are more willing to spend their energy on promoting stars..."

Shen Xudong interjected: "The main reason why I don't like them is not this..."

"that is because?"

"I feel like they won't look you in the eye. To put it bluntly, it feels like their attitude towards people is either I lick you or you lick me. There is no middle ground!"

"Divide people according to class?"

"…almost."

After chatting for a while, it was almost time to end the meal. Wang Changtian sighed and asked Shen Xudong a question: "Is "Painting on the Wall" really bad?"

"Hmm..." Shen Xudong nodded: "Except for the messy characters, the plot is not that good. Times have changed. It is unlikely that the audience will believe that you can find out the truth by visiting a brothel."

"No redeeming qualities at all?"

"No, the story frame itself is pretty good..."

"Painting Walls" is actually very similar to "Peach Blossom Spring". A scholar enters the world of murals...

The scholar's obscene dream journey was changed into an exploration of love.

In the movie, the world of painted walls is ruled by an old fairy. This is an old woman who has been hurt by love. Every day, other fairies line up under the waterfall, praise the world in the painting, sing and dance, enjoy themselves, and also remind them that men are not good. Things, be careful... any fairy who disobeys even a little bit will be dragged out by the guardians of the aunt world to teach her a lesson. ’

Zhu Erdan found true love in the world of wall paintings...

Cao Huayi was speechless: "What's the use of talking about this now?"

"Summary lessons and learn from experience!"

Hearing this, Shen Xudong thought of something: "Mr. Wang... what is Guangguang's box office expectation for "Painted Wall"?"

Wang Changtian said: "About 100 million..."

About 100 million, now...it has almost become a model of bad movies...

The box office in five days was 24 million...

There is no hope!

"The Legend of White Snake" has been released and accounted for 35% of the scheduled films on the first day. The new "A Chinese Ghost Story" firmly occupied 38% of the scheduled films. The film schedule of "Painting on the Wall" is on par with "Revolution of 1911", with only about 10%...

Oh, there is also a movie called "Revolution of 1911" on the National Day schedule, starring Jackie Chan, Li Lianhua, Hu Ge, Chen Chong...

Judging from the star lineup, it can be regarded as a low-end version of "The Founding of a Republic", and it also focuses on the promotion of Jackie Chan's 100th film.

Unfortunately, it didn’t do well at the box office!

In fact, it's normal. Many people commented that this movie is just to please Wanwan...

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong thought for a while and asked Wang Changtian: "Do you know the story of the boss fighting with the second child and the third child disappearing?"

Wang Changtian understood immediately: "What do you mean..."

"right…"

"But the publicity resources will be consumed..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Just make a fuss on Weibo... You ask your publicity team to start tearing up the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" directly on Weibo, and I'll ask my company's publicity department to fight back..."

"Then...how will it end?"

"The time is almost here, let's post apologies to each other on Weibo..."

Just as Wang Changtian was about to nod, Cao Huayi interrupted: "This is okay, netizens like to see this!"

Shen Xudong said goodbye: "Well...I'll go back first..."

"Do you want me to call someone to take you off?"

"No, I didn't drink!" The moment he turned to leave, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "Uncle Cao, has the script of "Parental Love" been completed?"

"That's almost it... The problem now is that Zheng Xiaolong has no time to direct, and Jiang Wen is also busy directing a new movie..."

"Then let Kong Sheng give it a try. He happened to have filmed two anti-war dramas and needs to slow down..."

"...Sure, I'll contact him tomorrow!"

Kong Sheng directed two of Lan Xiaolong's works, "The Line between Life and Death" and "Goodfellas"...

I am exhausted both physically and mentally. At this time, I want to change my mood with a warm "Parental Love".

As mentioned earlier, Tianmei Media and Xinli Media have cooperated on many TV drama projects in recent years, and "Parents' Love" is certainly one of them...

As for Nazha, she was a little confused.

Why are you so friendly all of a sudden?

Did you even propose acting together?

is this necessary?
