In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 820: Pulling Investment

As a young girl, Nini, who is not from a major, is very lucky. Her first drama is the absolute heroine of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"!

But she was unhappy because she had never experienced the normal promotion sequence: from supporting role to leading role.

In other words, she doesn’t know how to act in supporting roles!

Playing a supporting role is more difficult than playing a leading role.

Because the protagonist has a complete set of character settings, background logic includes character logic, and you can play on the basis of completing these.

As for the supporting characters, they are just fragmented fragments. Their origins, past, personality, and psychological activities are all missing...

In short: imitating other people's characteristics is the most basic skill of an actor.

Every actor has some basic reserves. As an expressionist, he keeps various expressions in his mind and takes them out when he needs to use them...

The still life simulation, life observation, self-arranged sketches, line practice, body practice, and vocal practice taught in the school are all the most basic courses!

For example, if you open the door and see a person, you are very surprised. If you open the door and see a tiger, you are even more surprised. This surprised expression is the most basic expression.

The protagonist's acting method is to make the fictional character's personality conform to the logic of thinking and the overall plot as much as possible, and then immerse yourself in it and brew the corresponding emotions. The process is relatively slow.

The supporting roles are not that complicated and require long-term training.

You must have some talent, otherwise, it will be easy to fall into routine mode!

Although Shen Xudong has never studied acting systematically, he listened to things like acting skills when he was in school at China National Theater Academy. Coupled with so many years of practice, he still has his own set of things.

Therefore, he said: "Let me just say one thing, actors must not be nervous when acting... When a person is nervous, his expression will be very stiff. If his expression is stiff, whatever he does will be wrong!"

"Besides, the role of Axiang is very simple, you just need to react normally..."

Nini nodded, and then asked: "Does Axiang like Tang Ren?"

"...don't like...just friends."

"Then why does Axiang want to block the bullet?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment and explained: "...in order to promote the subsequent hospital plot..."

Nini said oh, not sure if she understood it. Shen Xudong looked at her clothes: "You didn't put a tattoo on it?"

"That one needs to be attached to the chest. I'm going to wait."

"…OK…"

Nini looked at Shen Xudong and gathered her courage: "Director, they gave me several tattoo stickers, and I don't know which one is suitable. How about you help me make an idea?"

Shen Xudong was a little surprised and glanced at her: "...now?"

"Let's go to your room tonight...shall I go to your room?"

"...Not at night, I have guests tonight..."

"…That…"

"Isn't there an RV over there? You go up first, stick it up, and I'll take a look!"

Shen Xudong looked serious.

Originally, what's the problem with directors guiding the image of actresses?

As for how to communicate after getting on the bus, how long did the communication last...

Everyone knows that he is romantic, will he let Nini go?

How can it be?

Besides, it was she who wanted Shen Xudong to make the decision. How can you be sure about art just by looking at it? You have to get your hands on it, feel it, and explore it by the way...

It's a matter of course.

Shen Xudong is not being reserved, he does have guests.

Joseph Drake and Jason Blum are here tonight - about the release of The Hunger Games and the development of original projects...

Although Shen Xudong transferred Wonderful Studio to Warner, Warner did not directly manage the studio. On the contrary, it gave a lot of freedom.

Temporarily have project development rights!

This is also Warner's acquisition conditions - what performance is required for Wonderful Studio to achieve in the first year after the acquisition in order to receive 100% of the acquisition money...

That's just right. This year, in addition to sequels such as "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 1)", "Insidious 2" and "The Ghost Story 3" selling well, "Squidward Game" has become a hit TV series, with Scarlett Johansson After the global box office of "Super Body" exceeded 400 million US dollars.

The task was successfully completed!

Wonderful Studios has greater autonomy…

After all, it can make money, and Warner is too lazy to bother—it’s all about developing the DCEU movie universe!

Joseph and Jason took two projects, "Godzilla" and "Teddy Bear"...

"Teddy Bear...by Seth MacFarlane? Didn't I already invest in it?"

"But Seth MacFarlane has a very good relationship with Fox. We invested in this work before it was acquired by Warner, and Fox now wants to recoup the investment..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "He has a beautiful idea!"

"Well, the internal test response was very good... so..."

"What we signed was a copyright agreement, and we have the first right to invest in the sequel. Don't ignore them. We will win if we go to court, not to mention we have Time Warner's support!"

Joseph smiled bitterly: "I thought so too, and I told Alan Horn... Well, then Alan Horn was fired!"

"Alan Horne fired? Jeff Bewkes out of his mind?"

Jeff Bewkes is the president and CEO of Time Warner, and Alan Horn is the CEO of Warner Bros.

Alan Horn founded Castle Rock Entertainment in 1987 and served as president until his resignation in 1999. He was responsible for films such as "The Legend of God" and "The Green Mile" and the TV series "Seinfeld"...

He became the CEO of Warner Bros. in 1999 and was responsible for the "Harry Potter" series and Nolan's "Batman" series. Under his leadership, the "Hobbit" trilogy was completed...

Such a talent was actually fired?

Jason Blenkop took a look at the personnel shakeup at Warner Bros. in November. Not only was Horn forced to step down from the COO position through "retirement", but many senior officials were also forced to leave!

"Because last year's movie was dismal?"

"Roughly the same…"

"Green Lantern" resulted in a loss of nearly $200 million and the cancellation of plans to create a series similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe centered around Ryan Reynolds' character...

As the person who makes the final decision, Alan Horn certainly has to bear the price!

The price is being forced to resign...

Then, Robinoff, who supported Zack Snyder, came on stage - the opening of the DC Universe was also changed to "Superman: Man of Steel";

Jeff Robinoff, a filmmaker who strictly follows the director's studio system, introduced Baz Luhrmann, Todd Phillips, Ben Affleck, Zack Snyder, and Christopher Nolan Wait for the director...

Of course, he later left and was replaced by Kevin Tsujihara...

Shen Xudong thought about it for a while, and then said: "It doesn't matter. Warner doesn't support it, so we will cooperate with Lionsgate to distribute it... What is the situation with "Godzilla"?"

"Thomas Tull wants to do it, but Warner is not very supportive...it feels like the investment is too big, but didn't you say before that a monster movie is in the works..."

"How much does it cost?"

"At least $200 million!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "It's a money grab... 200 million U.S. dollars. To get back the money, the world will need at least 800 million. Godzilla is not that good!"

Joseph nodded: "...I think so too..."

"Let them reduce costs to no more than $150 million..."

"Shall we invest?"

"...The risk is a bit high. Let's do this. I'll take 50 million U.S. dollars, Wonderful Studios will invest 30 million U.S. dollars, and Legend and Warner will pay for the rest!"

"I'll go back and discuss it with them..."

Shen Xudong nodded and added: "Leave the heroine to me!"
