Chapter 867 Decline (Make up for Yesterday)

Looking around, Han Shanping said: "The air here is indeed fresher...I heard that you transplanted the trees here?"

"Um…"

Shen Xudong glanced at the crape myrtle tree behind him: "...these crape myrtle trees cost more than 200,000 yuan..."

"You are so willing!"

"This is my hobby, so just spend some money..."

"That's right...you don't even play collecting!"

"I'm not interested in these..."

The two chatted for a while, and Han Shanping finally got to the point: "Do you know "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"?"

"...I've heard a little bit...Liu Changle intends to shoot a documentary..."

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is known as "one of China's top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation". It was burned in the early Qing Dynasty and cut into two parts. The first half was renamed "The Remaining Mountains" and is now in the ZJ Provincial Museum. The second half of the book is known as "Wu Yong Shi Volume" and is now in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

It is the wish of people from all walks of life on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to display this famous painting that has been handed down from generation to generation.

After more than a year of mediation, Liu Changle, then chairman of the board of directors of Phoenix Satellite TV, finally brokered the completion of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" on June 1, 2011.

While promoting good things, Liu Changle wanted to find someone to make a documentary to record the twists and turns and difficulties of this merger. Among the participating companies at that time, in addition to China Film Group, there was also a company called "Page Taihe Ubiquitous Culture Media", whose boss was Sun Jianjun.

Sun Jianjun is a well-known figure in the photography world. During his stay in the United States, many of his photographs were included in the "World Photography Yearbook".

After returning to China in 1993, he jointly established "Paige Global Film and Television Culture Company" with BJ Film Studio. In addition to producing TV advertisements, he also planned and produced large-scale documentaries such as "Republic of China's Diplomatic Records".

However, after continuous discussions, the investors felt that using a commercial film approach might reach a larger audience. As a result, the original documentary "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" became a commercial blockbuster project "Tianji·Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

It's the one directed by Sun Jianjun.

China Film Group is the organizer...

Shen Xudong knows it all too well - "Residence in the Fuchun Mountains", if a bad movie is the lowest evaluation of a movie, then "Residence in the Fuchun Mountains" changes this law, because worse than bad movies are shit movies !

Starring Liu Dehua...

It is said that even Yang Lijuan can't watch this movie!

By the way, Tan Songyun also stars - one of the twelve witch killers...

Bringing it back, Han Shanping sighed and talked about the situation of the movie...

The film crew invited Korean directors, American directors and screenwriters successively, but they all left due to differences with director Sun Jianjun. In the end, even the stylist also left the group...

"What's the disagreement?"

"He has always emphasized that he wants to make Chinese-style blockbusters, rather than Hollywood copycat films made at ten times less cost than Hollywood... He feels that the audience just wants something fresher, dazzling, ups and downs, four countries and five places, heaven and earth. …”

Shen Xudong was confused: "What do you mean?"

"The crew traveled across Dubai, Taipei, Tokyo, Milan, Hangzhou and other places to shoot scenes... I will give you an example. As long as it is a scene in the West Lake, the dance of "Impression of the West Lake" must be used as the background every time to pursue an ultimate sense of excitement..."

"Surge?"

"Yes...Sun Jianjun's exact words!"

Shen Xudong suppressed a smile: "So, what's the problem?"

Han Shanping sighed: "I saw the rough cut, and there was no plot at all. It was just a patchwork of scenes!"

"How is it possible...after all, this movie is called "Dwelling in the Fuchuan Mountains", and the main plot must be about treasure hunting..."

"There is no main line. The origin of the story is "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", but Sun Jianjun said that it was made up of soy sauce."

"Then... why is the movie called "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"?"

"…It was called this name from the beginning!"

Shen Xudong was speechless - Is this horse riding a movie?

"...So, you want me to take over distribution?"

"No," Han Shanping shook his head and talked about Sun Jianjun and his background as Paige Taihe...

There must be a background. You must know that "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" dominated the Dragon Boat Festival, "Jurassic Park" 3D version, and "Fast and Furious 6" debuted.

As a result, as soon as he put it into operation, "Fast and Furious 6" was postponed for one month, and "Jurassic" was directly rolled to August, and was publicized...

Of course, Warner + Legendary Pictures' "Man of Steel" later filled in the schedule of the original "Fast and Furious 6", but for "Residence in Fuchun Mountain", Superman is far less scary than racing, not to mention Legend has cooperated with China Film, " "Man of Steel" can be considered half of China Film Academy's biological son, so we can't let him get too close to each other anymore.

How can two Hollywood blockbusters move their schedules without any background?

I guess he was also from the courtyard.

Well, as soon as Han Shanping said it, Shen Xudong knew...

Since I'm not taking over the distribution...then what's the matter?

Shen Xudong didn't bother to guess anymore and asked directly: "Director Han, what do you want me to do when you come to me?"

"...Can you have a chat with him? From a plot point of view, at least smoothen the movie..."

"I don't even know him, where can I talk to him?"

"Then can you reshoot a few scenes... His movie has no plot at all... This movie is China Film's key project next year. You invested 80 million yuan. If there was no other way, I wouldn't say this..."

Shen Xudong thought about it for a while...

To be honest, he was also curious about how "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" could be so bad...

So, he asked: “…is there a script?”

"without…"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment: "...There is no script?"

Are you kidding me?

Shoot an egg without a script?

"More than a dozen screenwriters were scolded by Sun Jianjun and left..."

"...Didn't you say that the cost is over 100 million? No...you dare to film without a script? Then there is no shooting schedule or anything like that?"

"...Alas!" Han Shanping sighed...

"Director Han, I must have a script when filming. Without a script, not even a main plot, how can I film?"

Han Shanping smiled bitterly: "I just want to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. In the past few days, I have called Brother Kai, Ning Hao and even Xiaogang, but they are not willing to accept this mess!"

"...Since you knew it was a mess, why didn't you withdraw your investment?"

"The movie is finished...and I have a good relationship with him..."

"Just nice?"

Han Shanping waved his hand and changed the subject: "Are you familiar with Hollywood?"

"…good."

"Then the Hollywood movies you invest in have global copyright sharing, or do they only have Chinese copyrights?"

“…worldwide copyright…”

"China Film also wants to invest in a few movies... The boss of Legendary Pictures approached us some time ago..." After a pause, Han Shanping explained: "China Film's production capabilities are too weak and it does not have a leading advantage in the country. Someone suggested that we invest in Hollywood... What do you think? look?"

China Film Group is really not good at producing big blockbusters...

But they have one of the most obvious advantages: imported film distribution!

In the original time and space, China Film invested in "Seventh Son", "Fast and Furious 7"...

Both films have achieved great success in China!

Shen Xudong thought for a while and then said: "As the leader of the domestic film and television industry, China Film Group personally does not recommend investing in Hollywood..."

I'm really convinced...

I won’t say anything anymore, I’ll update it tomorrow...
