Chapter 906 There’s a Fuss

Brother Xiaoming: "But I heard that you invested in Meituan? Do you have any investment tips?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I just threw two rounds..."

"They all admire you..."

"Ha ha…"

Shen Xudong did not continue this topic, but asked about the situation of "Blood Drop"...

"Blood Drop", the original character was Ethan Ruan!

There is a saying that a group of directors in Taiwan are executing a plan: to use as many ordinary artists as possible as the protagonists of blockbusters, and to use popular mainland actors to back them up. In this way, Wanwan newcomers can rise to the top in one step and establish the impression in the minds of the audience that "they are higher than the popular mainland actors." After a few movies, they will gradually become superstars.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but the operation of “Blood Drop” is indeed quite consistent with this rumor!

Let Wen Zhang, who has already appeared in "Ocean Paradise", play the supporting male role, let Huang Xiaoming play the villain boss, and the male lead will be given to Ethan Ruan?

Let’s make it clear, with two popular mainland male stars, Ethan Ruan can directly rise to the status of a first-line movie actor with just one movie!

Of course, Leader Huang's team is relatively strong, and they are determined not to give in...

But in the eyes of most viewers who don't understand "fanxue", it is indeed him who played a supporting role for Ethan Juan.

Because he really plays the villain!

Fortunately, "Blood Drop" pulled the crotch...

Moreover, Ethan Ruan filmed 7 movies in the Mainland, 7 of which were commercial hits, with a 100% hit rate!

After "Blood Drops", "Rogue Detective", "City in Love", "New York, New York", "Murder in Time", "City Lights", and even "Detective Dee: The Four Kings" , "Detective Pu Songling"...

That's it, there are still a lot of marketing trumpets claiming that he has superb acting skills and is the Golden Horse Best Actor...

Then, if you give examples of Zhang Yu and Lei Jiayin, they said that Ethan Ruan's acting skills in idol dramas are pretty good...

A guy who was good in idol dramas actually won the Best Actor Award?

By the way, some even say that he appears to be pure and kind - really convinced, comparable to Luo Zhixiang, does a veteran gamer deserve to be described as pure?

He is as famous as Luo Zhixiang, Wilber Pan and Chen Bolin!

Back to the topic, Huang Xiaoming has no idea about "Blood Drops" and only said: "Chan Kexin invited me to play this drama, so I agreed... I am looking forward to "Big Shanghai"..."

"Oh? The movie version of "Shanghai on the Beach"?"

"...No, it was adapted from Du Yuesheng... I played the role of Cheng Daqi, the same character as Fa Ge. Because the plot required it, we had to film the technique of peeling pears, so Fa Ge and I peeled pears every day and peeled more than 2,000 pears... Everyone on the crew ate it!”

"oh…"

Du Yuesheng was a fruit stall clerk when he was young, and he was good at peeling pears. He was even known as "Fruit Yuesheng" and "Laiyang Pear"...

Since he is the prototype, we must recreate the scene of ‘peeling a good pear’!

"On December 20th?"

"Yes... I heard from the boss that "1942" is Director Feng's hard work, and he must leave 20 days for it..."

Shen Xudong was a little dissatisfied: "He means that new movies can't be released before the 20th?"

Brother Xiao Ming quickly explained: "...I don't know, I guess Boss Yu is worried that "1942" will be too popular..."

Shen Xudong has no impression of "Big Shanghai". It seems that the reputation... is very mediocre. The original time and space was crushed by "Zodiac" and "Thailand"...

Either it's terrible, or it's great-looking. Being mediocre is terrible, and it doesn't even have any memory points!

Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "I heard that Raytheon is preparing for the movie "Shanghai Bund", or is it a 3D version?"

"There is such a thing..."

Huang Xiaoming nodded and admitted...

The cast list of Raytheon's "Shanghai Bund" movie version has been released: Huang Xiaoming will play Xu Wenqiang, Liu Yifei will play Feng Chengcheng; Sun Honglei will play Feng Jingyao; Ding Li will be replaced by Feng Shaofeng...

Wang Changtian attaches great importance to this project and has publicly said, "Remaking the movie version of "Shanghai Bund" is something I have been working hard on and using multiple resources to operate." I hope it can have the texture of classic gangster movies - like "The Godfather", "Gangs of New York", "American Gangster". ’

But there is a problem. Huang Xiaoming said frankly: "I have never found a suitable director..."

"Can't Gao Xixi?"

Gao Xixi is the director of the TV series "New Shanghai Beach"...

Huang Xiaoming shook his head: "Director Gao has never made a movie..."

…

After Enlight Media transferred Zhang Zhao, the impact was very bad, because Zhang Zhao took away a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers who had collaborated with him!

For example, Huang Baiming and Gu Dezhao's group, including Donnie Yen...

In addition, Media Asia and Emperor will no longer cooperate with Raytheon.

Wang Changtian can only turn around and recruit mainland filmmakers!

Gao Qunshu, Lu Chuan, Guan Hu...

"Shanghai Bund" movie version...Wang Changtian really can't find a suitable director!

In fact, a movie version of "New Shanghai Beach" was already filmed in 1996.

Directed by Pan Wenjie and produced by Tsui Hark, starring Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Ning Jing, Wu Xingguo, etc., the film is set in Shanghai in the 1930s and tells the turbulent legendary story of Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li in Shanghai...

The box office was pretty good,” 20.83 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking eighth on the annual box office list.

That movie was not done well - Xu Wenqiang's position is not that of a big brother, he is just a passerby, a down-and-out, arrogant avenger.

The most speechless thing is that the soundtrack is very different. The two major music singers Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau do not want to incorporate personal factors, so they each have their own merits and highlights. However, the tracks selected for the movie have no highlights at all. Liu Da The handsome guy can't hear the emotion and color of the song when he sings it, which is a failure...

Maybe it’s because the TV series “Shanghai Beach” is too classic!

Even Leslie Cheung + Andy Lau couldn't handle the movie version of "Shanghai Bund", and Shen Xudong doesn't think Enlight Media can handle it.

Back to the subject, Guangwang has three movies scheduled this year, "101 Proposals", "Happy Home" and "Bara Bala Little Magic Fairy"...

The former is jointly produced by Xinli, and the latter is jointly produced by Qiankun Starlight and Mango TV...

There is no way, the Lunar New Year period is a big period, and it is a test for all film and television companies - the Lunar New Year period means putting the company's biggest movie of the year in December!

Whether you can survive or not is another matter, but you must go to the battlefield!

If you don’t even want to go to the battlefield, then just don’t make a movie!

Bona has "Big Shanghai", Huayi Brothers has "1942" and "Zodiac", and China Film has six dramas, namely the jointly produced "The King's Feast", "1942", "Twelve Years" "Two Zodiac Signs", "One Shot to the End", as well as "Little Fish Eat Big Fish" and "Secret Garden" produced by myself...

After the six major distributors proposed the "Notice", the thirteen theater chains directly rejected it without thinking. The thirteen major theater chains also listed the six major distributors' "eight sins": not understanding the rules and not understanding the history. , Unreasonable, not grasping the opportunity, ignorant of politics, ignorant of methods, disrespectful of friendship, and forgetful of friendship.

Dominating the hot searches during this period...

After all, there were still ten days before the Lunar New Year holiday officially started, and something like this happened at this time.

In addition, the "Notice" requires theater chains to sign before November 20. Unfortunately, not every theater chain has signed.

Because there is an event scheduled a few months ago from the 21st to the 23rd - the "2012 Lunar New Year Movie Watching Seminar" hosted by Variety News and BJ Cinemas.

Most theaters hope that everyone can discuss it together after the BJ. Everyone also realized that the signing could not be completed on the 20th, and told the theaters that it could be postponed to the 23rd.

Shen Xudong... directly joined the group of "Ping Pong" and did not answer calls from the media or related people at all - he was not involved in this matter!
