Chapter 67: The Conversation (part 3 of 4)
The "Dialogue" program is a CCTV interview program.
Each episode of the show will invite some celebrities...
It's a relatively high-end talk show!
Shen Xudong was a little surprised, such a show actually sent him an invitation?
He is not Han Han, and he has not caused phenomenal pursuit...
It's not a hot spot, is it?
However, Shen Haobo had already helped him pick it up, and Shen Xudong himself agreed.
Sell books anyway!
In the car, Shen Xudong asked suspiciously: "The key, I don't think I have anything worth discussing!" ”
""Dragon Babu" is on the air, you are one of the screenwriters, and you took over the script screenwriter of "The Condor Heroes", you are only 20 years old this year, a sophomore in Chinese opera... Do you still think it's a normal size? ”
“… I'm a little talented, but there are more talented people in China, so it's not worth discussing, right? ”
Shen Haobo smiled: "You must know that martial arts used to be called a flood beast, but you became famous with martial arts, and you have a bunch of book lovers and fans... Everyone is curious about you! ”
"Martial arts... All right. ”
Shen Xudong probably understood...
There was a period of time when everyone shouted and beat martial arts, and it was juxtaposed with romance, and it was called a poisonous weed by teachers and parents...
It is true that Jin Yong and Qiong Yao were once bombarded as "opium and prostitutes and women" by famous writers and literary critics in Guangming Daily, which triggered a great literary discussion.
At that time, the martial arts represented by Jin Yong and the romance represented by Qiong Yao became the flood beasts of orthodox education...
It's like a bunch of people now crying out that 'online games will ruin a generation'!
"I heard that CCTV is very interested in you... It seems that your "Golden Bough Desire", they once intended to shoot? ”
"That's not a system, "Dialogue" is CCTV's 2 programs, and I want to cooperate with CCTV TV drama company..."
"I'm sure I know you, anyway..."
……
The "Dialogue" program was recorded in the CCTV studio.
In the early years, there were not many live audiences for our show, about 50 or so, and there was no support, and they basically signed up by themselves...
It's the same with "The Conversation"...
The host is Lu Yiming.
Shen Xudong is not a rebellious representative, he doesn't need a figure like an education expert, and he doesn't need to find another positive teaching material...
Straight to the field.
"Audience friends, hello everyone, welcome to "Dialogue", I am the host Lu Yiming..."
"As you may have noticed, we have a few books on the podium...
Two volumes of "The First in the World", three volumes of "Zhu Xian", and one called "Collected Records"... What about these books, they are all from the same author, Shen Xudong, and each of his copies has sold more than 500,000 copies...Because "Gleaning Records" has just been on sale for a month, the sales volume has not exceeded 500,000, but as far as I know, 400,000 copies were printed in the first edition! ”
"The editors of our column group have been to bookstores for field investigations, and most of the people who buy his books are high school students and college students..."
"Shen Xudong is already one of the representative writers of the post-80s, and many people call him one of the three post-80s writers alongside Han Han and Guo Jingming, but he himself says that his main business is screenwriting!"
"Let's get to know him through the VCR first!"
Then the VCR played, and Shen Xudong also saw this VCR for the first time, and was surprised to find that his high school teacher had appeared.
probably talked about Shen Xudong's high school life, and his experience of applying for Chinese opera, by the way, and the teacher appeared...
"The purpose of our Chinese opera is actually to cultivate masters, Xudong is talented, and he is very sensitive to life, which is a necessary condition for becoming a master, so I forced him to write a drama script, and he completed it, very good..."
Then there is the publisher Shen Haobo: "I decided to publish it after reading the serial version of "The First in the World", I think his book is very selling, so I went to Yunnan three times and finally signed it... He was in Yunnan at that time with the group "Tianlong Babu"..."
At this point, the VCR ended in time, and Lu Yiming said with a smile: "We are fortunate to invite him to our show, and we applaud Shen Xudong!" ”
……
"Hello Xudong..."
"Hello host!"
Shen Xudong wore a camel-colored coat, black pants, turtleneck, and a pair of yellow boots...
Again, his aesthetic itself is online, and it is in public, of course, he must be carefully dressed up.
Lu Yiming looked at him, and then was a little surprised: "Your hair has always been short?" ”
“… Yes. ”
"Why not have long hair? I remember that Han Han and Guo Jingming both have long hair..."
"I don't know, I haven't seen them, I think short hair is easy to wash, every morning when I wash my face, I wash it by the way, and it's easy to dry... I live in a dormitory, and I can't use high-powered appliances like hair dryers..."
“… Are you mentally prepared for the fact that you appear on TV? ”
“… After all, I'm a student of Chinese opera! ”
"How did you come up with the idea of taking the exam? And it's not an acting class? ”
“… I used to think that screenwriters were more majestic, you look at the famous dramas left over from our history, such as the four famous dramas, Guan Hanqing's "Dou E's Injustice", Wang Shifu's "The Legend of the West Chamber", Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion" and Hong Sheng's "Palace of Eternal Life", you won't remember who played it, but you know who wrote it! ”
"And now?"
Shen Xudong smiled: "Now... I know a little bit about the preparation process of film and television dramas, which is different from what I thought..."
"Different?"
“… No matter what drama you do, you need money, whoever can get the money is the big name of the crew..."
"Our film and television production is still in the extensive stage..."
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Hollywood is the same, film and television projects are money to speak, this is a laissez-faire truth, when Li Lian went to Hollywood to shoot "Lethal Weapon 4", the whole crew listened to Mel Gibson! ”
"How do you know?"
“… I've done shows, I've researched a lot of information, Hollywood movies, Hong Kong movies, and European movies..."
"Really?"
"Of course, you relied on Mel Gibson to sell "Lethal Weapon" until the fifth part... Don't think that Hollywood must be formal, professional, and process-oriented... Hollywood production is graded, and if you like "Lethal Weapon" is a B-grade movie..."
"B-movie?"
"It's a low-budget film... The scale is usually relatively large, plasma, violence... Most of Lee's films in Hollywood are B-movies... So, the box office is not high, but the disc business is so good, for example, "Deadly Romeo" only grossed more than $20 million, but the DVD rental revenue reached nearly $40 million... Therefore, his salary rose to $10 million! ”
"And that kind of thing?"
"Hmm... Therefore, in those crews, Li Lian is a big name, and investors, directors and staff all rely on him to make money..."
Lu Yiming feels that the topic is a bit off, and he should talk about "Tianlong"...
But in fact, the audience listened with relish...
"Let's talk about "Dragon Babu", I heard that Zhang Jizhong specially called you and invited you to be a screenwriter?"
"Actually, it was introduced by my teacher... Before, I had a column called "Words of Jianghu" in the magazine "BJ Youth", which talked a lot about Jin Yong's martial arts, which caused a lot of discussions~ My teacher knew that I had my own understanding of Jin Yong's martial arts, and it just so happened that Mr. Zhang Jizhong was looking for a screenwriter, and then he introduced us to each other..."/4/
