"Are they looking for you to buy the adaptation rights?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, he asked me to have dinner at night..."

Hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong said to Shen Haobo: "Why do you want to ask me to dinner, it's clear, I've taken a fancy to "Lost Orphans"!" ”

Shen Haobo looked confused: "Are you so high now?" ”

“… What level? ”

"What do people say on the phone?"

"Let's just talk about eating..."

"Then why do you say that he has fallen in love with "Orphaned"?"

“… It can't be "Rain of Swords" and "Sui Hou Zhu"..."

Shen Haobo: "So, will you pass the night?" ”

"Surely it will pass... Someone invited to dinner, why not go over? ”

"Then if he wants the adaptation rights of "Orphaned"..."

“… Let's see sincerity..."

"Sincerity?"

"It's just... The adaptation fee and what he is going to do..."

Shen Haobo breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't you just say that he was not suitable for "Lost Orphans"? ”

“… Did I say that? Surely you've heard the difference! ”

Shen Haobo was speechless, asked for the address, and then drove over...

……

“… No, the program team took good care of me, and they didn't make it difficult for me at all! ”

"Just asked some questions, and then I answered... You and my mom remember to tune in on Saturday..."

"Hmm... That's it, the phone bill is quite expensive, don't talk about it..."

After Shen Xudong finished talking to his father on the phone, he chatted with Shen Haobo for a while, and when he arrived at the place, he got out of the car and asked Shen Haobo by the way: "Do you want to be together?" ”

"Come on, it's you who are invited, what's the matter with me going up, see you later!"

I left very freely...

Shen Haobo probably didn't think about entering the circle, let alone looking for these people to publish books, celebrities generally find publishers they are more familiar with when they publish books, for example, Feng Xiaogang's "I Dedicate My Youth to You" is an appointment from the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House...

This thing and Shen Haobo have always been two systems!

He generally cooperates with Chaohua Publishing House, "The First in the World" and "Zhu Xian" are both published by Chaohua Publishing House, and "Collected Records" is a distant publishing house...

What's more, it's really inappropriate for him to be an outsider to follow...

Shen Xudong just said it out of politeness, turned around and left, the waiter led him upstairs, went to a box, and helped him open the door...

……

Zhang Guoli really fell in love with "Lost Orphans".

Actually, there are not many film works suitable for him, after all, he will be fifty soon...

The film market is once again dominated by commercial films, which commercial film have you ever seen in which the protagonist is a man who is almost fifty?

The Hong Kong movies of later generations are not counted, although they are almost sixty years old, they are still playing forty-year-olds!

The script of "Orphaned" is very good, and the male protagonist is middle-aged...

Zhang Guoli didn't want to transform or anything, "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" was filmed well, what transformation should you consider?

It's just that I am happy to see the hunt and want to act in a good movie!

"Orphaned" is definitely a good movie, with a high degree of completion in itself, telling a story with twists and turns at a high level, with restraint and appropriately.

Although the subject matter is sensitive, it is within the controllable range, and it is of great practical significance...

And without hiding the criticality in it...

After seeing it, I immediately found a good friend and partner Feng Xiaogang...

Oh, he and Feng Xiaogang have partnered to open a company, and they think very beautifully, one person makes movies, one person makes TV series, a perfect cooperative relationship...

Called Taihe People's Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd...

At the beginning of the establishment of the company, the goal of the two was to make the company stronger and bigger, Zhang Guoli set the goal of making two film and television dramas in the next year, and Feng Xiaogang also wanted to make two movies a year.

I thought that by doing this, more people would invest in my company...

It's a beautiful idea, but neither of them understands capital operation very well, although Zhang Guoli is the first person in this circle to realize that being an actor will never make money as an investor...

Therefore, in the early years, they organized their own bureau to shoot "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview"...

By the way, in the era when "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" was born, the rule in the circle was contracting, that is to say, if a person is a producer and contracts a TV series, the investor will only contribute part of the money, and the excess part needs to be funded by the producer himself, and if there is a surplus at the time of settlement, it is the producer's profit.

Zhang Guoli didn't have much experience at the time, although this drama was a big hit, but because of overspending, he didn't make any money, and later when it came to "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", he learned to be obedient, brought part of the funds into the group, and then participated in the later sales, which made a little money...

But after all, he is still engaged in art, and he is a big step behind in terms of capital operation...

I wanted to partner up with Feng Xiaogang, shoot a few TV series and movies every year, and work for myself to make money, with their fame, there is no problem at all...

Soon after, they met a big guy who invested 5 million, which directly made them become workers, and what was even more hateful was that it didn't take long for them to find out that this big guy was a big fool, and he just wrote them empty checks...

Feng Xiaogang felt that the company's pills happened to be offered by Huayi, so he patted his ass and left...

Of course, the two are still in the stage of confidence.

Feng Xiaogang also thinks "Orphaned" is a good theme, but... It's hard to sell...

At the beginning of the company, you had to shoot some blockbuster works, otherwise, how could it continue?

Zhang Guoli calculated an account, "Orphaned" is mainly a bit more filming locations, two starring roles are enough, one for him, and another young guy to partner with, if you want to shoot beautifully, you have to use a high-definition camera, I am afraid that I can't beat it without 5 million!

Zhang Guoli can probably judge that it is difficult for "Orphaned" to make money in the market, so he found his old partner Han Shanping and wanted China Film to also participate and jointly fund...

In this way, even if you lose money, you can't lose much!

Of course, I had to make an appointment to meet Shen Xudong, so Shen Xudong met him in BJ's third circle, Han Shanping, Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang...

……

"I've admired the name for a long time, I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so... Handsome, you really should learn to act! ”

"Nope..."

Entering the door, say hello first, Han Shanping ridiculed Shen Xudong's appearance, which can be regarded as narrowing the distance...

Zhang Guoli introduced Feng Xiaogang: "Didn't you say before that you like Director Feng's "Party A and Party B" very much, Director Feng is here!" ”

Shen Xudong hurriedly got up: "Director Feng..."

“… Xiao Shen, I've heard them mention you a long time ago, you are really young and promising..."

"Thanks for the compliment..."

Feng Xiaogang grinned, and then asked, "Do you only like "Party A and Party B"?" Don't like my other movies? ”

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then replied honestly: "... It's not that I don't like it, but I don't have the dreamy feeling of watching "Party A and Party B" for the first time... I have always felt that the most important thing in movies is to create dreams, "Party A and Party B" is a dream for the audience, and also a dream for the main creator... The sentence at the end of the movie, '1997 has passed, and I miss it very much', has a long meaning, and there is a feeling that the good times are not long, and the world is changing..."

Feng Xiaogang was happy, got up and held a wine glass: "... Thank you, thank you for liking this movie, you're at your age..."

Shen Xudong said: "I really like it, and I even wrote a script based on this movie..."

Zhang Guoli and Han Shanping spoke at the same time: "Yo, let's talk!" ”
