Chapter 939 Spring Festival (23)

Shen Xudong is definitely not a non-marriage person.

There are many anti-marriage people in the circle. Even if they get married, they are known as DINK to the end, especially those directors and actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan...

Tsui Hark is the one who gave birth to a son at the age of 73. In addition to Tsui Hark, director Chen Jiashang also staged the love story between father and grandson. In his sixtieth year, he married Xia Moqiao and gave birth to a daughter.

The same goes for Er Dongsheng, who has been with his ex-wife Dink for half his life.

I am getting old, and suddenly it is officially announced that I am giving birth to a daughter.

Shen Xudong would never say this publicly...

He will definitely get married, but he really has no plans to get married for the time being. He is still working on his career!

"When do you plan to get married?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "How about before the age of 35?"

"I'm afraid that when you are 35 years old, you will say before 40 years old..."

"No, I've asked them to introduce it to me," Shen Xudong quickly assured, changing the topic: "By the way, let's go see a movie together tomorrow..."

"The new film you directed?"

"Well...it's called "Detective Chinatown"..."

"Aren't you going back to your hometown?"

"Let's go back in the afternoon... Actually, there's no one I want to see when I go back..."

"Uncle You and his family are in Hangzhou..."

After chatting with his parents about other things, he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep...

…

The end of the twelfth lunar month every year is the time when the market is at its lowest, and audiences and movie fans are busy going back to their hometowns!

Therefore, after "Cloud Atlas" was released, the box office was very unsatisfactory. In the first four days, the cumulative box office was only 57 million...

The reputation is even worse.

Before the release, all kinds of promotional masterpieces directly failed after the release, especially the reputation and box office in North America - far inferior to "007: Skyfall" released at the same time...

After "The Matrix", the movies directed by the Wachowski siblings all failed at the box office!

Even the so-called masterpiece "V for Vendetta" failed at the box office...

In the global market, the full version of "Cloud Atlas" also performed mediocrely. It was a flop in almost every market around the world. The final global box office was only US$130 million. Taking into account the production cost of US$100 million, it ended up with a loss of tens of millions of US dollars.

Many people on the Internet are discussing whether Zhou Xun's participation in "Cloud Atlas" can be considered as breaking into Hollywood...

Forget it, Zhou Xun appeared in "Cloud Atlas" for less than ten minutes. Although it is not soy sauce, it is definitely a supporting role!

In addition, "Cloud Atlas" is an independent production - Warner is only responsible for distribution.

This is called independent production!

Independent production is not part of the Hollywood mainstream…

Of course, if it goes mainstream through independent production, that's a different matter. The problem is... Zhou Xun has no follow-up path!

The Wachowski siblings also did not call her on "The Hunt" later directed by the Wachowski siblings...

But this does not affect Zhou Xun's status as a domestic first-line female star!

Still the same sentence - the premise of internationalization is the spillover of domestic entertainment to the outside world, rather than blindly catering. With the current attitude of domestic entertainment, it is still difficult to spill over to the outside world.

Cultural phenomena belong to the top of the human hierarchy and are built on political, economic, and military strength.

Culture is a very top-notch thing. Without a strong foundation, there is no such thing as internationalization. Whoever is powerful will have the greatest cultural influence.

This is not something that can be accomplished by a few people or a few teams. This is done with the country endorsing the entire ethnic group.

No matter how beautiful the castle in the air looks, it is useless because it has no foundation.

Bringing it back, on New Year's Eve, Shen Xudong received a call. The theaters had great support for "Tang Detective". They gave 49% of the screenings on the first day, nearly 35,000 shows, and "The Better and Better Village Night" also Not bad. After all, these are the only two new films. The theaters gave 18% of the film schedule, and there were nearly 15,000 screenings on the first day...

After all, Huayi’s distribution capabilities are quite strong!

The movie "Village Evening" is purely a set-up.

It is jointly produced by Huayi, Galloping Horse and Bayi Factory.

It’s a movie exclusively for the Spring Festival. It doesn’t matter what the plot is, it must be a gathering of stars. So, it doesn’t matter what the plot is, as long as someone puts together a plot and puts it online...

It's disgusting, they want to use celebrity fame to make money.

"Tatake" and "Far Cry" at least have a major storyline, and each star has at least a name and regular appearance in the show.

But in this film, when each character appears, the name next to it is the actor's name instead of the name of the character in the play...

Movies that sell celebrities are also available in the mainland, such as "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "72 Tenants" in Hong Kong!

But there has never been such a shabby approach. Selling the face of a celebrity is also to put on the skin of a character in the play.

The approach of "Village Evening" undoubtedly tells the audience that our film does not have a storyline anyway, so it doesn't matter what the actors in it are called. Let's just watch it with the names of the stars...

Movies require sincerity. First of all, you have to ask yourself what you are shooting and what you want to express.

Instead of presuming what the audience likes...

With such an opponent to back him up, he is sure to win!

…

Chinese New Year is no fun...

The flavor of the year has faded!

In fact, this matter cannot be reversed, especially for urban residents, who have not seen firecrackers, fireworks, New Year pig slaughter, New Year's Eve dinner, or New Year greetings for a long time.

Chinese New Year is actually a kind of "collective life".

In the past, from the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everything was booming and everyone was busy immersed in the New Year celebrations.

Feng Zikai's "New Year" writes: "On the morning of the first day of the new year, I was busy entertaining New Year guests. The streets were crowded with farmers wearing new clothes, men, women, old and young, bustling about, eating siomai, going to taverns, buying New Year pictures, and watching magic tricks. It was crowded everywhere. Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, relatives and friends in the town come and go to pay New Year greetings...'

If you tell a child now that "the east wind blows thousands of trees and flowers into bloom at night, and even blows down stars like rain," he will not know what this scene is like because he has never played with fireworks!

Even if you tell him about killing the New Year pig, he won't understand...

In the final analysis, it is normal for traditional festivals from the agricultural era to begin to decline in the industrial era, because the foundation for its existence has begun to disintegrate!

However, Shen Xudong still attaches great importance to the sense of ceremony.

We hired a chef and cooked twelve dishes...

I watched the Spring Festival Gala with my parents...

Ha Wen serves as the director - Feng Xiaogang's version of the Spring Festival Gala will be next year...

There are not many memorable points in this year's Spring Festival Gala. Apart from Guo Degang's "The Prodigal Son", Happy Twist appeared in two programs and Zhao Benshan left the Spring Festival Gala...

The same old routine: praise moral models, sing about the motherland, then perform a Peking Opera, add some Internet buzzwords, nothing new, nothing innovative or breakthrough...

In fact, the Spring Festival Gala is like eating dumplings during the New Year. You have to eat them whether they are delicious or not. It becomes a habit.

People who make dumplings want to make them well, and people who eat dumplings eat more if they taste good, and eat less if they don't.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala as a family is actually a kind of ritual...

After watching the Spring Festival Gala, Shen Xudong sent a message, "Wish you all a happy New Year in 2013", and then went back to the room to reply to the message...
