Chapter 993: Picking Off (14)

Shen Xudong is talking about "Welcome to Dragon Restaurant"...

The original time and space is the work of Wen Kino.

The structure and story are very similar to "I'm Not the God of Medicine", strictly following the "Golden Fleece" story type...

The protagonist "hits the road" in search of something, goes through hardships and eventually discovers something else - himself!

The theme of "Golden Fleece" films is the inner growth of the protagonist.

Plot is actually how conflicting events affect the protagonist.

So the key to making a good "Golden Fleece" movie is not the path taken, but the way the protagonist changes as he moves forward. One of your jobs is to make those turning points closely related to the protagonist.

It's easy to take this and set up a supporting role to prompt him to change his behavior...

"I think we can make an action movie first and then "Welcome to the Chinese Restaurant"..."

"I'm over sixty..."

"Stallone is almost 70, and he even filmed "The Expendables"!"

"Fine."

Jackie Chan nodded: "We will discuss the specific situation..."

"Okay," Shen Xudong changed the subject: "Ding Sheng came to you for "Police Story 2013"? Or..."

"He was the one who found me, but it was the producer's idea to change the name of the story to "Police Story"..."

Yang Xiaomi, who had been silent all this time, interjected: "Is there a lot of fighting in this play?"

Hearing this, Jackie Chan was very excited: "Originally, it was all a literary drama. When Ding Sheng told me this story, I couldn't wait for him to go to the toilet in the middle. I had to listen to the story right away... Originally there were not so many As for action scenes, I listened to the script at the time and thought it was very good, because there was a lot of acting and less action. After filming the literary part, the director said to add two parts of memories, so I ended up shooting a lot of action scenes."

Speaking of this, Jackie Chan glanced at Yang Xiaomi: "Have I seen you somewhere?"

"We have shot commercials...in 2003, a motorcycle commercial..."

"motorcycle?"

"Yes, you gave me an extra fifty thousand yuan!"

Jackie Chan remembered it immediately and was a little surprised: "Wow, you are so old..."

Shen Xudong was also surprised: "Is there such a fate?"

Yang Xiaomi just said it - Jackie Chan and Yang Xiaomi were filming a motorcycle commercial. Because Yang Xiaomi had a good impression on Jackie Chan, when settling the payment, she casually asked, "How much does a little girl cost?" ’, people say ‘600 yuan’…

Jackie Chan was paid 500,000 yuan, so he told Party A to give Yang Xiaomi 50,000 yuan and deduct it directly from his salary.

Of course, advertisers are not fools. How could they really deduct money from Jackie Chan’s remuneration? Increase it to 50,000 yuan for Yang Xiaomi - the brand will pay anyway!

"There is such a fate..."

"Brother, how is Jingtian?"

Jackie Chan thought about it for a moment, and then said: "...very hard work!"

…

In the original time and space, "Police Story 2013" has a good box office, and although its reputation is not satisfactory, it is not bad. Media title: "Domestic film "Jing Tian implantation" has achieved initial success"...

In fact, purely from a film perspective, especially from the perspective of domestic police and gangster films, this is a highly completed film.

The story is very simple: a gangster avenged his sister, but he didn’t know who the murderer was, so he tied up all the relevant people in a bar...

As for Jing Tian, ​​she is a rebellious daughter.

The biggest problem is that this movie is called ‘Police Story’!

The status of "Police Story", let's put it this way - although Jackie Chan had previously established his kung fu comedy style with "Drunken Master" and "Snake Man", it was "Police Story" that truly made Jackie Chan a kung fu superstar.

In "Police Story", Jackie Chan is really acting with his life!

The various stunt shots in the film are dizzying. This kind of life-threatening spectacle and extremely tense and exciting fighting methods are eye-opening and exciting, establishing Jackie Chan's status as a kung fu star.

The subsequent "Police Story Continuation", "Police Story 3", and "Police Story 4" have maintained a very high level!

Let's put it this way, the "Police Story" series is considered one of the best series in the history of action movies, defining a new level of action movies.

As an action movie, Jackie Chan's "Police Story" is comparable to Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury" and Li Lien's "Fist of Fury"!

Career masterpiece!

The most important, most successful, and also the highest-level film series, it is an insurmountable peak for both Chinese action films and global action films.

In fact, Chen Jiaju has completed the acquisition of Jiahe...

In "New Police Story", his name is Chen Guangrong, and in "Police Story 2013", his name is Zhong Wen...

But you called it "Police Story", and when you promoted it, you said, "Jackie Chan will hold a premiere in Beijing with the sixth film in the "Police Story" series, "Police Story 2013"...

The audience naturally thought this was a "Police Story" style movie.

Then, big disappointment!

Jackie Chan's consistent style: witty humor + fast-paced fighting...

There's none in "Police Story 2013"!

And Jackie Chan was beaten quite badly...

This... is unacceptable. In addition, in order to shorten the time, the director added three flashback plots, which made the whole simple story a bit complicated...

I also made a 3D version...

By the way, there’s also Jingtian’s driving away effect…

As a result, "Police Story 2013" only received a little over 500 million in the end without any rivals...

But in this time and space, Jing Tian is likeable, and Liu Ye, who plays the villain, has the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series with him, so theaters are very optimistic about this movie.

…

"Police Story 2013" will be released on the 24th, focusing on Christmas and New Year's Day...

It has not been released yet, and for Tianmei Media, the opponent of "Police Story 2013" is actually "Fire", which will be released on December 30...

The most important work at the moment is "Charlotte Troubles"...

In the next few days, Shen Xudong continued to do various activities, interviews, and exclusive interviews to gain exposure for "Charlotte"...

The creative team is also very awesome, especially Yang Xiaomi - Shen Teng and Mary are going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal...

Regarding this point, the publicity personnel of "Charlotte" believe that "Feng Xiaogang did it on purpose!" ’, using the director’s authority to frame the two protagonists of the movie and prevent them from running on the road show...

But I can't refuse this thing. The Spring Festival Gala does have to be rehearsed...

What? Shen Teng and Mary will not attend this year's Spring Festival Gala?

This kind of thing is impossible - Mahua needs the Spring Festival Gala stage, and so do Shen Teng and Mary.

And it’s a general personally selected by the higher-ups. If you say you won’t participate, you won’t participate?

It was of no use. The reputation of "Private Order" was too bad. On the second day after its release, the box office was overtaken by "Charlotte" - the former's single-day box office was 66 million, while "Charlotte" had 71 million...

On the third day, Saturday, "Charlotte" had a single daily receipt of 92 million, and "Private Custom" had a daily receipt of 72 million...

On the fourth day, Sunday, the gap was completely widened - "Charlotte" sold 81 million in a single day, and "Private Custom" sold 54 million...

As of December 23, "Charlotte" has been in theaters for 12 days, with a cumulative box office of 872 million, breaking the speed of "囧"...

Most importantly, the second weekend performance of "Charlotte" crushed "Private Order" - the latter was released for four days and had a box office of 263 million!

The king of Lunar New Year stalls fell twice in a row...
