Chapter 986 Hilarious Comedy (24)

Shen Xudong has never taken the initiative to contact Xu Zheng...

Xu Zheng is so shrewd...

"Cutting leeks", "copyright disputes", "peach news" and so on...

However, he is indeed remarkable. In a circle where there are still many "second generations", he can rise from the grassroots to the ranks of celebrities. He has the courage to be admired and the pride to be praised by the public.

In fact, Xu Zheng is not satisfied with simply being a comedian. This probably stems from his experience of withdrawing money from a bank and being told by the counter, "Take 20,000 yuan for Zhu Bajie"...

However, when he became a capital in the circle, he looked too ugly!

The so-called capital in the circle is the leader and talker in the circle.

It doesn't matter if you eat and look ugly... It doesn't matter as long as it doesn't break the law, but turning into a pyramid scheme master...

Celebrities naturally have strong media exposure and can easily collude with capital - Xu Zheng is a clear example!

In order to make more money for yourself, there is no need to do such a thing to ruin your reputation.

Shen Xudong doesn't really want to have much interaction with him...

However, he is still quite concerned about "囧" because it is a "囧" series after all.

Shen Xudong asked directly: "Why do you need a brother-in-law?"

"What a second-rate person!"

"It's best not to be brother-in-law," Shen Xudong shook his head: "There is a problem with the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law. Because they are not strangers, we have no reason to be curious about the second male lead from the perspective of the first male lead..."

"If the audience is not curious, then it will be difficult to establish the character image of the second male lead, and there will be no good chemical reactions between the main characters. Then many of the stupid things he does will appear deliberate... and the audience will be bored by it..." Speaking of which , Shen Xudong looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you want to join the role of brother-in-law?"

Xu Zheng explained: "The '囧' series... definitely needs a showman..."

"I know...but why is this character the brother-in-law?"

Xu Zheng explained the plot and said by the way: "I feel like setting up a brother-in-law who dreams of filming a documentary, and then record all the experiences..."

Shen Xudong asked: "What's the effect?"

“…recording experiences…”

"Then what?"

"You are not like "The Babysitter"... You can either make it a pure drama. Xu Lai has no talent... In fact, what hinders him from realizing his dream is not his father-in-law's family, but himself; what hinders him from entering the art palace is not Because he married his wife, but he himself; it was not his wife, but himself, who decided that he would embark on a business path that he did not like."

"The theme can be made as 'The pain of middle-aged men is the anger at their own incompetence and the helplessness of being unwilling to accept their own mediocrity'..."

"Of course, if you want to make a comedy, the theme should be clear. A person wants to go to Hong Kong to have sex with his first love, but he is harassed and blocked by a fool along the way. The date is always impossible. The various hardships and struggles the two encountered along the way , which perfectly blends and contrasts with the classic scenes and clips of Hong Kong movies. In this movie, you can see the golden years of Hong Kong movies..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Road comedy...forget it!"

"Why?"

"Hong Kong is too small and highly civilized. Coupled with the repeated reflections in Hong Kong films and television, the audience is already too familiar with Hong Kong and cannot be unfamiliar and unpredictable!"

Xu Zheng thought carefully for a while, and when he was about to say something, Shen Xudong had already turned around and left...

He has said it in such detail, is Xu Zheng still not satisfied?

What's wrong, you want him to write a detailed script?

…

"Charlotte" is truly a classic movie - one you will never tire of watching!

Even if you already know every plot and even detail, you will still read it.

Therefore, in the original time and space, after watching "Charlotte Trouble", Shen Xudong once thought that the king of comedy comparable to Zhou Xingchi had appeared!

Then...disappointment!

Too lazy…

As an actor, starting from "Charlotte", he has starred in serious films such as "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Flying Life", "Crazy Alien", "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Walking on the Moon"...

He is obviously an actor who can make the audience laugh even when he is standing, but he turns himself into a brand-name actor. He often makes a guest appearance in a movie for a few minutes and then promotes it as a starring role, and then his reputation is backfired...

Let me tell you something interesting: Shen Teng and Allen were on the same page as the original poster of "Super Family". Later, the reputation was so bad that Shen Teng's face was removed - to protect Shen Teng?

I don’t do many plays, but I participate in a lot of variety shows...

Compared with another comedy king, at least his works are far behind!

In fact, he has tried to expand his acting options - suspenseful movies with comedy elements.

"Broad Days", which was co-produced with Zhang Yuqi and Wei Xiang, was supposed to be released in the past three years, but the film crew ran away - I heard they made some money-making APP, and seeing that they had enough money, they simply stopped filming...

Then in addition to eating cakes, you can only make cakes yourself.

The efficiency of making cakes is too low, and the entertainment industry is in the cold... Many cakes have been drawn, and the hot money has faded away...

I heard that Liu Xunzimo is contacting him for his second drama. In addition, there is also "Flying Life 2", and, by the way, there is also "National Carnival"...

Bringing it back, "Charlotte Troubles" is different...

This movie is so awesome:

First, there are countless supporting characters, even the small characters who only appear for a minute or two are impressive;

Second, the songs are just right to match the plot. The old songs that appear in the film are not obtrusive at all, and there is no sense of dissonance that is piled up randomly...

The third is the most important: a reasonable plot, not a vulgar and illogical comedy.

Charlotte traveled back in time to save her face and returned for love. In fact, she followed the formula of a magical reality comedy, that is, a dream come true story.

The fourth is a famous scene that has been passed down to this day.

The first is "Just ride on the horse and your name is Charlotte."

Then "What's horse winter, what's winter plum, what's horse plum."

"I've thought about it. From now on, we'll all go our separate ways. I'll call you brother, and you'll call me dad. Whatever you're looking for, dad will help you find it."

"Just yesterday, our classmate Yuan Hua won the first prize in the district's middle school student essay competition. The title of his essay was "My Father, the District Chief""

"The winner of the first prize in this competition is: "I Donate Oil to the Mother Country" sung by Li Zhenxing from the Experimental Primary School."

After "Charlotte", most domestic comedies have followed the route of farce, and the deliberate laughter is like scratching the audience's armpits through the screen to force them to laugh.

Okay, enough boasting...

In fact, "Charlotte Troubles", as the name of a play, is petty bourgeois and literary enough, and it doesn't matter if the pattern between the lines is not large. It is very suitable for its consumer groups; but as the name of a movie, it is really far away from the aesthetic distance of mainstream audiences. Too far.

If it fails to stimulate the mainstream audience's desire to watch the movie, it will just die on the menu. No matter how good the food is, what's the point?

So, we need publicity...

"Charlotte" will be released on December 12, and Tianmei Media has provided the same level of promotional resources as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"...

The effect...

The box office is the most intuitive!

On Thursday, December 12, "Charlotte" had 41% of the film schedule and a single-day box office of 49 million...

It’s not high, after all, so many promotional resources have been invested. However, on the second day, the box office of “Charlotte Trouble” rose to 67 million, and on the third day, Saturday, it exceeded 100 million in a single day!

On December 15th, it increased instead of decreasing in a single day, winning 117 million...
