After reading the script of "District 9", Shen Ming directly pulled Neil Blomkamp to meet Yang Xin.

Dan Gilroy and Damien Chazelle were also followed...

Shen Ming likes the script of "District 9" so much!

Proper "Metamorphosis"...

No wonder Kominsky urged Shen Ming to watch "Metamorphosis"...

Yang Xin flipped through it and asked two questions.

First, the cost of the program;

Second, the shooting time...

Neil thought for a moment and replied, "I did a five-minute short film before, and it cost almost $200,000, and if I want to make 'District 9', I need at least $30 million!"

“… Thirty million?"

Or dollars!

Converted to nearly 230 million yuan...

This number Yang Xin can't accept!

"Actually, the Colombian side has agreed to set up the project, but the funds are not in place, if..."

"If you can add Chinese capital, this movie can definitely be made?

“… Yes. ”

Neil Blomkamp is not embarrassed, this is an internationally recognized fact, Chinese have money, the Chinese market is large, once a film has the intervention of Chinese capital, it is easy to set up a project!

Yang Xin thought about it...

For a movie like "District 9", the reputation will definitely not be bad, according to the results of the Chinese box office of high-reputation Hollywood movies in recent years, it is not a problem for the box office to break 100 million...

If Shen Ming plays the starring role, and the marketing efforts are made, the box office is likely to break 300 million...

The most important thing is that Brother Ming plays the starring role, she can use this name to raise funds, and she may not need the company to pay...

“… In this way, I will talk to the relevant person in charge of Colombia, but I have one condition!"

"You say. ”

"I'm going to let Shen Ming play the starring role!"

Dan Gilroy smiled: "Yang, Neil just watched Shen's performance in "Nightcrawler", so he found him. ”

The implication is that people want to use Brother Ming from the beginning...

"OK, I'll go to Columbia tomorrow!"

Yang Xin nodded, this matter can be regarded as a preliminary agreement...

"What about him?"

"Oh, Damien's script is called 'Burst Drummer', and I'm going to invest in it myself!"

Before Damien could speak, Shen Ming had already spoken in advance.

……

The story of "Burst Drummer" is simple, the story of a young man who loves music and strives to become a top jazz drummer.

After only reading the script once, Shen Ming was deeply shocked!

The protagonist of "Burst Drummer" is a man with fiery feelings who can give up everything in order to play the drums!

In essence, Shen Ming is not a person who has lofty goals and will do whatever it takes to achieve his ideals.

He likes to watch the game, he likes the Premier League, but he stays up until 3 o'clock at most, and most of their games start at 4 o'clock;

I like the guitar, I feel that playing the guitar will be relaxing, and more importantly, I can be handsome, but he can dial ten minutes at most and hum half a song;

He used to have a very big goal, vowed to do what, bought a new book, bought a new pen, and wrote his grand goal in a new book with a new pen, and then the book and pen couldn't be found...

In many cases, it is not the so-called "good-looking people who are young", but people who have fiery feelings that have youth.

The so-called youth without regrets probably refers to your constant struggle for the goal!

It's like the main character in "Burst Drummer"!

Seriously reflecting on it, Shen Ming has never, never even for one thing, happy, angry, whatever, never said "Fuck" from the heart...

Never...

Maybe it's because of his character, maybe he hasn't met it yet, but the fiery feelings really don't belong to him!

He was envious!

This play, no matter what, he must act it!

And Damien Chazelle said that the production cost of "Burst Drummer" is only $3 million at most...

He can afford this money!

Yang Xin took over the script of "Bursting Drummer", read it only once, and decided to invest...

If nothing else, Andrew's role is too suitable for Shen Ming!

Of course, the main reason is that there are few sub-scenes, few characters, and low investment!

Here's the problem...

Brother Ming has too many projects in his hands, "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea", "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", these three are impossible to push, plus "District 9" and "Burst Drummer"...

He couldn't squeeze out the schedule to take over the filming of "Fanghua"...

It's as if "Fanghua" will definitely use him...

……

On the afternoon of September 9th, it rained in Toronto, but it still did not hinder the fans' mood of watching the movie, especially the screening hall of "Pan Jinlian", the attendance rate directly reached 90%!

Toronto has another title - many Chinese!

Although it is not as good as the province of Vancouver in China, you might as well make more!

Feng Xiaogang is a big director and a good director in the eyes of many overseas Chinese, and his films, of course, are supported by many Chinese...

Feng Xiaogang and Qi Jianhong stood at the door of the screening hall, watching the audience enter...

Then Wang Zhonglei walked over with Yang Xin, Zhang Ziyi, and Shen Ming.

"Director Feng, Mr. Qi!"

Qi Jianhong is the founder and chairman of Sparkle Roll Film and Television, and one of the producers of "Pan Jinlian", and he also released "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" with a minimum of 500 million...

“… It's coming!"

Wang Zhonglei pulled Shen Ming: "Let me introduce you, this is Shen Ming!"

"Good director, good Qi Dong!"

Qi Jianhong smiled 🤝, while Feng Xiaogang stared at Shen Ming suspiciously for a long time: "... Have we seen it?"

"No, it's the first time I've met Director Feng..."

Wang Zhonglei smiled: "Xiaogang, do you think he is familiar?"

"Yes!"

"The movie we watched together yesterday, "Nightcrawler", starring him!"

"Oh, I was praising this actor for his good performance!"

"Yes, that's him!"

“… How old are you?"

"I'm 96 years old, and I'm twenty years old. ”

"Twenty... It's a little small..."

Qi Jianhong reminded: "... Director Feng, let's go in first, the audience is in a hurry!"

……

"Pan Jinlian" is actually a story of legal blindness who accidentally chokes the lifeblood of officialdom.

The reason for this matter, Li Xuelian actually didn't take care of it, she faked a divorce with her husband for the sake of the house and the birth of a second child, but she took advantage of the loophole for her husband and became a real divorce.

The house didn't catch the children and lost it, so she was angry and went to the court, asking the court to sentence her and her ex-husband to fake divorce, and then they got married again, and then divorced.

Then the court ignored her, and she petitioned...

That's probably it...

Shen Ming took a serious look at it, it was still quite good.

Really, Fat Bing's performance in it is not particularly bad, except that he was beaten by Zhang Yi, Zhang Jiayi, Liu Li, Fan Wei, etc...

This movie is estimated to be difficult to impress, especially for audiences like Shen Ming who already have a certain amount of movie reading - because the heroine Li Xuelian is blind...

The whole movie is too sympathetic to the heroine, and lacks analysis and criticism of her legally blind and unscrupulous behavior.

But definitely a work to watch...

You can't just say that this movie is rubbish just because these two people are not good people...

At the end of the film screening, Feng Xiaogang got up to thank the audience...
