Chapter 828 Before Returning to China

The media has been touting "Er Zhang" as opening up the era of Chinese film business...

Zhang Weiping was directly praised to the same level as Zhang Yimou!

Therefore, Shen Xudong had the impression that Zhang Weiping had always been arrogant.

The so-called art in hand, I have the world is not a joke.

He dared to offend anyone, from directors to film bureau leaders, and later went to war with theater chains...

In the original time and space, even without Zhang Yimou, he still pretended to be cool for a while, saying that he would make "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" and found Yu Hua's son Yu Haiguo to direct...

Unfortunately, no one invested, so I had no choice but to go to the Tokyo Film Festival to recruit overseas funds, trying to trick foreigners into investing money.

Overthinking, without Zhang Yimou, who would care about him?

Let alone making movies, there are no media interviews even for interviews - no one pays attention to him!

He was forced to withdraw from the industry, was on the hot search list, and was sued by Zhang Yimou for unpaid wages...

Time leaves behind a person and never says hello!

But now he is still very crazy, threatening to ban Dou Xiao, Nini, and Zhou Dongyu, and directly sent a lawyer's letter to restrict the filming!

According to Chen Xi, liquidated damages will definitely be given, but it will not make the new picture good.

——Liquidated damages must be paid, after all, your brokerage contract is indeed in the hands of New Picture.

Oh, someone has already broken the news on Weibo. The person who broke the news, He Jun, is the niece of Zhang Weiping’s assistant Wang Xiaohua.

Unfortunately, it was of no use. The company directly produced the fine ticket, tax payment list and marriage certificate.

As for the Calabash Baby incident, it did not break out because the company exposed many extraordinary directors and stars in one go - including Brother Chen Kai.

Oh, Director Chen Da also has two children, but both children were born in the United States...

By the way, Chen Xi also announced a movie: We are going to make a movie that reveals the overseas baby-making industry chain - "BJ Meets Seattle"...

Well, advertise in advance!

"BJ Meets in Seattle" is on the surface a romantic comedy, but in fact the background is quite cruel - going to the United States to give birth and surrogacy...

As for the subsequent high-priced advertising incident from the Railway Bureau, I also responded immediately...

It was not a big deal in the first place. In the original time and space, Lao Mouzi thought that he had been ruined and did not dare to respond...

Let the media take the lead and become Calabash's grandfather...

…

In early March, "Tang Detective" wrapped up production. That night, most of the actors evacuated the set, and most of them took a flight back to China. Shen Xudong left behind an executive producer and several other assistants to handle the aftermath of the crew.

Then he and Chen Xi would have a banquet with local government officials to thank them for their help during the filming of "Tang Detective".

This is considered public relations!

Tianmei Company has three major genres: history, comedy, and suspense crime.

According to the plan, most of the future suspenseful crime films will be shot in Bangkok!

In terms of image creation, whether it is islands, beaches, sunshine, coconut trees, food, entertainment and other places and elements, a large number of colorful and enthusiastic scene styles are provided; and underwater diving elements are integrated into the case, plus beach dinners, deformities, etc. Show and other novel elements increase the suspense and sense of alienation in the film;

Secondly, the places where these stories take place are not the beaches, temples or fireworks markets that we usually travel to, but more of the daily life areas of local residents, or even gloomier and darker corners, which will naturally give the audience a more fresh feeling. and curiosity, it also brings more space for imagination and discussion to the film, which is in line with the essence of the film's "art of dreaming".

The most important thing is to set the crime story in Southeast Asia, which can effectively avoid the various restrictions of shooting stories in China. Why not?

Once politics, gangster police, social riots, etc. are involved, plots that are contrary to the core values ​​of socialism will be difficult to pass review in the domestic context.

But these elements are the basics of a crime film!

It is necessary to have a good relationship with the local government.

After working hard for almost a week, Shen Xudong and Chen Xi returned to China...

Oh, the next few days were mainly about relaxing and playing around...

…

At the airport, Chen Xi was scrolling through Weibo, while Shen Xudong was texting Yang Lei.

Yang Lei is the director of "Love Saint" selected by Shen Xudong, and Song Xiaofei is the photographer...

Song Xiaofei was born as a photographer, and he didn’t ask for pictures when taking pictures, but he doesn’t know how to edit, or his editing awareness is too poor...

"The Lover" relies on its plot to win, but it's hard to tell. The filming of "Swordsman in the Snow" was too disappointing. If Hu Jun and Zhang Ruoyun hadn't taken advantage of it, it would have been a really bad movie!

It fully proves that Song Xiaofei can shoot beautiful pictures, but the editing is too rubbish.

In the past, when resources were scarce in the 1990s, audiences could be deceived by beautiful images. But in this era where everyone can be a media player, only beautiful pictures can no longer make the audience like it.

The most speechless ones are the battle in the reed swamp, Shu Yan + Wei Shuyang vs. Mu Jia, Lu Qiantang vs. Huo Jia, Feng Ziying + Qingniao vs. Wang Mingyin, Li Chungang vs. Wu Liuding + Cuihua; the four battlefields started fighting at the same time, and Tu Jia took the opportunity to sneak attack Xu Fengnian , this is all a matter of a moment. The result seems to be slow and leisurely, just like playing a house, Xu Fengnian seems to be coming to the theater, and the character collapses directly.

Song Xiaofei does not know how to shoot multi-angle parallel events, that is, the shooting of multiple people at the same time. He filmed the almost simultaneous assassinations into a turn-based system, and it was not the editing’s fault!

On horseback, Wang Juan + Zhang Ruoyun + Xuezhong IP, this awesome combination, can defeat everyone with good cards, all thanks to Song Xiaofei!

Shen Xudong would not dare to hire such a director.

Yang Lei is different. He was the director of "Red" and later directed "The Legend of Shark Pearl".

Before "The Legend of the Shark Pearl", it took two months to film "Kyushu Sky Castle". The main purpose was to lay the groundwork for the movie "The Legend of the Shark Pearl".

The entire story of Sky City is simply the product of a sudden whim after the sponsor heard the idea of ​​"a city falling from the sky" and insisted on filming it.

In order to help the production company make money, I had no choice but to accept it!

Fortunately, "Fantasy City" was released later. As soon as "Fantasy City" came out, the status of "Sky Castle" immediately rose!

Regardless of the special effects, costumes, plot or actors, "Sky Castle" is surprisingly able to beat the opponent - the style of painting is unique, the plot is anti-routine, and the pace is not sluggish.

You really can't see it at first glance, but if you look carefully, forget it, the shape is too weird - Zhang Xianzong, my eyes hurt!

Bringing it back, Yang Lei is pretty good. I used to think that "Red" was great because of the good script, but screenwriter Xu Bing later made "New World", "Gun", including "Happy Face"...

It's all about stepping on a horse, grinding and chirping, the outer shell of a fine drama, and the inner core of a foot wrap.

A chivalrous person is not a chivalrous person, a thief is not a thief, a revolution is not a revolution. If the core is not good, it is useless to find a bunch of acting sects.

On the other hand, Yang Lei directed the live-action version of "The Three-Body Problem". It was not favored at the beginning, but later became a recognized classic!

This is a good director!

While they were chatting, Chen Xi suddenly sighed: "Donnie Yen is unlucky this time!"

Shen Xudong didn't even raise his head: "...Zhao Wenzhuo blasted him as a drama tyrant?"

"you know?"

"...I already knew it!"
