Chapter 892 Youthful Spirit

It’s still that courtyard house…

Zhao Linhai brought barbecue, seafood and vegetables, while Liao Gaoxiang brought two boxes of beer...

Shen Xudong led Zhao Xin in. When the two of them saw him, they were a little surprised: "What about you...no changes?"

Zhao Xin was confused and asked: "What changes can I make?"

"... Xudong said you went to war for the country... I thought you lost at least half of your weight..."

Zhao Xin waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated..."

"Isn't that an exaggeration? I know a cowherd who told me that there are four hard requirements for a rich woman: to be as talented as Zijian, as beautiful as Pan An, as lively as Lao Ai, and as affectionate as Xu Xian..."

Shen Xudong parked the car, happened to hear these words, and interrupted: "That's a nurturing, soft-spoken, and short-handed taker; I accept a huge sum of money to ensure your happiness!"

"That is, work in a profession, learn a profession, know a lot, and have a profession..."

"I just have a normal relationship with them, how can it be so exaggerated!"

Liao Gaoxiang was speechless: "Tsk, tsk, they are all married women. Do you call this a normal relationship?"

"Is it possible...old and American people are more open-minded!"

“Hollywood is open!”

"Hollywood is indeed open..."

"And it has a long history..." Zhao Xin gave an example: "Rita Hayworth in "The Shawshank Redemption" was the female star who used a large poster as a cover to dig out the escape route. She was a famous Hollywood figure in the 1940s and 1950s. Porn star, she became a first-line artist by sleeping with the Coen brothers, the bosses of Columbia."

After a pause, Zhao Xin glanced at Shen Xudong, and then said: "The movies Xudong made in the United States are basically B-level movies..."

Zhao Linhai asked back: "What happened to B-level movies?"

"B-level movies have low investment, and the point of view is very single, either bloody, scary, or erotic..."

"lust?"

"So, many B-level film actors simply switch to porn films and completely become adult stars... Nowadays, it is difficult to attract audiences with a single element. When making horror films, you must intersperse some nude scenes. Jason Blum can do it in a year Close to ten horror movies…”

Liao Gaoxiang looked at Shen Xudong: "Is Jason Blum your partner?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Well..."

"No wonder you have so many scandals..."

Hearing this, Zhao Xin couldn't help laughing, and added while laughing: "Xudong has a nickname in Hollywood."

"What nickname?"

"Not over 20!"

"...Pfft, haha..."

Zhao Linhai and Liao Gaoxiang both laughed...

Shen Xudong was a little angry: "Slander, absolute slander, Amanda Seyfried, Alexandra Daddario, and Leighton Meester are all over 25!"

"knew…"

Zhao Xin greeted: "Barbecue...barbecue!"

"Get dressed first..."

"Um…"

Shen Xudong stood up: "I'll get two bottles of red wine!"

"You don't drink, don't you?"

"Now I can drink a little occasionally..."

…

After working for more than half an hour, I put it on and put it on the barbecue grill...

Shen Xudong asked about Huashi...

China Lion Pictures is a distribution company rather than a production company. The official translation is China Lion, which states that its goal is to export mainland films to North America and Australia. It was established in 2010.

Tianmei and Jiahe invested half of it, and most of Jiahe's movies, except for a few flagpole-type action movies, were distributed by Huashi.

Including "Thugs in Suits" - it sold for US$6.2 million in North America, setting a new record for Chinese Lions releases!

"Huashi is doing well in the United States. It has signed contracts with more than 800 theaters... They have reached a cooperation agreement with Odeon, the largest theater chain in Europe in the UK..."

"Take your time...The European and American markets are relatively closed. Let's open up sales with action movies first..."

"That's all it can do."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xin complained: "Wanda acquired AMC, I originally thought they would give us preferential treatment..."

"Is there any?"

Zhao Xin shook his head: "There's something wrong!"

After a pause, Zhao Xin continued: "Jiang Yanming and I are going to work on drive-in theaters..."

The so-called drive-in theater means that the audience sits in their own cars to listen to and watch outdoor movies through FM. Drive-in theaters usually have very large screens and use parking spaces as movie screening venues. Audiences can watch the big screen while sitting in their private cars. Clear and stable images, while adjusting the radio frequency in the car according to the movie ticket prompts to receive the original soundtrack of the movie.

"Come on..."

After chatting for a while, Liao Gaoxiang suddenly asked: "I heard that Hollywood is very concerned about the Chinese film market?"

Zhao Xin nodded: "Yes, I am very concerned about it! The North American market has stabilized, and China has the fastest growing global film market. It is now the second largest market in the world. Of course Hollywood attaches great importance to it!"

Shen Xudong sneered: "In the era of globalization, one after another Hollywood commercial blockbusters are wildly harvesting box office in countries all over the world, but they only account for less than 50% in China...Hollywood has the most advanced film industry in the world, with the largest number of Funding, technology, and talent, if it were you, would you be willing to share the market with local Chinese films?"

Zhao Linhai thought thoughtfully: "How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed!"

"Then...what should we do?"

"Back then, when Hollywood conquered Hong Kong movies, it absorbed a series of top talents such as Jackie Chan, Li Lianjie, and Chow Yun-fat, and then used industrialized assembly lines to produce large-scale production. It absolutely crushed the small-scale peasant economy and handicraft industry, and completely buried Hong Kong-style kung fu movies and gunfights. The future of the film in the international market!”

Shen Xudong picked up a mutton skewer and took a bite: "It's delicious...try it!"

"It seems that the fourth child is confident?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "First rely on the cultural background that is completely different from Europe and the United States, and rely on comedies and dramas to compete with Hollywood special effects blockbusters. Of course, this is only a temporary expedient when the film industry is in decline. There is a real bright future...we still want to make blockbusters! Entertainment blockbusters, science fiction blockbusters!"

"There are countless countries in the world that can produce excellent literary and artistic films, but outside of Hollywood, there are very few that can do this!"

"So, you arranged for them to study in the United States?"

"right!"

…

Everyone once felt like a wild horse that he could ignore everything, the kind of person who relied on his youth to look down upon everything and believed in the beliefs he firmly believed in. Ideal or love is worth all the changes in the wonderful life after this.

But the often sad fact is that ten years later we may not always remember the people we once thought were unforgettable, but we are used to teasing and joking about the things we once admired, admired and thought were noble.

The most typical one is Liao Gaoxiang. He was a licker back then, but now he has turned into a prodigal son. He has relationships with several married actresses and still keeps in touch...

His studio mainly produces costume dramas, mainly martial arts, and occasionally immortals...

This guy has very unusual tastes. He prefers people over thirty years old. He often has in-depth exchanges with the actress who plays the wife of the head of the family.

I just finished the production of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", and I got very close to Liu Tingyu...

As for Zhao Linhai, he is the only one among the four who is married and has children. He is considered a standard good man. After the studio was established, he directly hired his brother-in-law to be his assistant. wife!

"You three should get married quickly..."

"I'm in no hurry…"

"I'm not in a hurry..."

It was Shen Xudong's turn. He shook his head: "If I get married, what will happen to those ambitious actresses?"

"You should do less evil. It would be great if you married Chen Hao!"

"That's right, Senior Sister Chen Hao has been waiting for you for several years!"

"...She will find the one that suits her," Shen Xudong shook his head: "...And, if I get married now, I can't guarantee that I won't cheat..."
