Chapter 816 So Particular
After chatting for a while, Shen Xudong saw them off.
Oh, Chen Sicheng said that his planned "BJ Love Story" wants to use the love stories of five pairs of lovers of different ages to tell a fable of a person's lifelong love, showing love in all ages and in all directions.
Shen Xudong... didn't care, just told him directly: "You can do whatever you want, you are the chief director!"
Chen Sicheng is famous. He is different from the older generation of filmmakers. He belongs to the market!
The popularity of the older generation of directors is not based on box office, but on winning awards. This is not a way to please the public, and path dependence is difficult to change.
Zhang Yimou, Brother Chen Kai and Jiang Wen are all like this!
"Let the Bullets Fly" mainly relies on humor to reach an audience. Even if there are so-called profound metaphors or thoughts, it does not prevent the public from watching it as a comedy. It is quite enjoyable. The parts that the public talks about are the jokes in it.
Profoundness is used to applaud, funny is used to sell movies, and box office success depends on being interesting rather than sophisticated art.
As for Director Feng...
Probably because I have shot too many commercial films, I want to be elegant and artistic, so I started my journey of showing off...
As a result, the pretense failed...
Chen Sicheng has no idea of self-expression yet...
He is more like a businessman than a film artist. In fact, many domestic film makers are not the first in art, but the first in art of "foreigners"...
…
The Lunar New Year festival is still in full swing. After the release of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", the market response was very good, with a box office of 41 million the next day. On the third day, December 25, the single-day revenue exceeded 46 million...
The box office exceeded 100 million in three days!
"Thirteen Hairpins" has naturally been affected, but... the impact is not big. After all, it has a good reputation and theaters are willing to arrange films...
In the two days of the Christmas season, the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" was 65 million, and the total box office successfully exceeded 500 million!
Xu Jinglei's "Close Enemies" was quite miserable. Under the attack of two blockbusters, the film schedule and media promotion efforts were at a disadvantage. After three days of release, the box office did not reach 20 million...
I guess it’s unlikely to exceed 100 million!
In addition, "Speed Angel" was also released, and Tang Wei appeared on the screen again...
However, in this time and space, Tang Wei is unlikely to become a big star - "BJ Meets Seattle" has been censored by Shen Xudong, and he is planning to star for fans Yang...
Yang, a fan, is obviously more suitable to play the mistress than Tang Wei in terms of looks and temperament!
Oh, yesterday, Shen Xudong went to Hong Kong. He planned to transfer from Hong Kong to Bangkok, mainly to discuss the development of PPTV with Zhong Lifang...
…
After the exercise, Shen Xudong watched Tianbao take a pill before going to wash up...
My mind is gradually clearing up. Yesterday, Huang Baiming entertained me warmly and specially called Shi Nansheng. The three of them chatted about New Art City. Huang Baiming mentioned that the "007" series can last for a long time, but why "The Best Partner", which is the benchmark for "007", has not no…
Of course Shen Xudong knows, because the IP "Best Partner" has been scrapped!
In 1997, the classic IP series "Best Partner" fell into the hands of Qian Jiale. Qian Jiale, who took the director's seat for the first time, also brought together a number of big names to film "The Best Partner: Drunk Street Partner".
"Best Partner: Drunk Street Partner" is actually the sixth "Best Partner". It has been 8 years since the previous one, which was "The New Best Partner" in 1989.
In the past 8 years, "bald man" Mai Jia and "King Kong" Xu Guanjie have gradually faded out of the film industry.
Chin Ka Lok decided to let Tony Leung and Alan Tam replace Mak and Hui as the new "Best Partner" candidates.
Since the actors have been changed, the story mode should also be changed. The previous five "Best Partner" films have always featured the thief "King Kong" and the detective "Mika" teaming up to repeatedly solve strange cases. And this "Best Partner: Drunk Street Partner" shows us a "gang fight story".
Then, the IP of "Best Partner" was completely destroyed, and the reputation and box office both declined. "Best Partner: Drunk Street Partner" also became the last sequel of the "Best Partner" series.
After "Best Partner: Drunk Street Partner", Qian Jiale took on the director's job for the movie "No Problem 2" with the support of Sammo Hung.
The dismal results of "No Questions 2" after its release brought the "No Questions" series to a halt.
The failure of the two works made "Sequel Terminator" Qian Jiale realize his lack of ability as a director.
After "No Problem 2", Qian Jiale returned to the position of action director and gave up his director career.
However, Golden Harvest has always been very supportive of him, and has collaborated on "The Ring", "Fighting at the Funeral", "Goodbye Young and Dangerous", and this year there is also a movie "The Heyday of Young and Dangerous", which should be released in the mainland...
Bringing it back, "Best Partner"...
In fact, Shen Xudong is not sure about bringing this IP back to life...
However, he agreed to give it a try, and then Huang Baiming called over Wu Qianyu and Yang Tianbao - they are still considered actors under Oriental Films, but next year, Yang Tianbao will go north.
It stands to reason that Yang Tianbao has no need to come!
She had already caught up with Brother Xiaoming, but she still came and took the initiative to send Shen Xudong back to the hotel...
Oh, Shen Xudong was happy for a moment, drank two glasses of red wine, and then passed out.
It is a fragmentary record!
…
“My flight in the afternoon is going to Bangkok!”
"Is it filming a new movie?"
"Um…"
In the restaurant, Shen Xudong was eating and chatting normally with Tianbao. He also asked about her career: "I heard that you are signing a contract with Huayi?"
"Well, Brother Xiaoming introduced me..." Yang Tianbao was very happy: "I can make a lot of money soon... I can pay you back the money I owe you!"
"...I'm not short of money," Shen Xudong shrugged: "I never plan to take back the money I lent!"
Tianbao also borrowed money from him to buy a house and had to repay the mortgage. The housing prices in Hong Kong were too high and the mortgage was also very high. The profession of celebrity was unstable. Yang Tianbao was a newcomer and was often short of money. Shen Xudong simply lent her money. 3 million Hong Kong dollars…
"Then I have to pay it back..."
"Let's talk about it if you have money..."
Shen Xudong replied casually, and then noticed that Tianbao seemed to have something to say, so he asked directly: "What do you want?"
Yang Tianbao said: "I heard that your company is going to do a reality show, can I join?"
"Reality show? What reality show?"
"It seems to be called "Let's Time Travel". I heard that Brother Xiao Ming was invited..."
Shen Xudong was confused and took out his mobile phone: "Let me ask them... The company that produces variety shows is called Tianmei Entertainment. It is our subsidiary. I generally don't care much about these..."
