Aunt Liu sat for two hours, basically listening, although she didn't speak, but she probably learned about Shen Xudong's two new projects, which can be said to be purely prepared for Chen Daoming...

However, the daughter of the male protagonist of "Witnessed by All", that role, she felt that she could give it a try.

When she tentatively asked Shen Xudong about casting, the latter smiled speechlessly: "The script hasn't been written, now let's talk about casting?" ”

Cai Yinong nodded: "... That's right, the order of preparation for a film project is to start with the script, and then break down the script..."

Shen Xudong interrupted her: "However, Hong Kong movies don't seem to be like this? ”

“… Hong Kong movies, the first step is to find a star, find a star, and then there is investment, as for the script or something... It's all secondary! ”

Cai Yinong sighed: "It's good to be able to start work, where do you dare to ask for anything else?" ”

Then she suddenly thought that Brother Shen seemed to be cooperating with Chen Musheng, so she asked, "How is "Keep Talking" over there?" ”

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: ""Keep Talking", I charged 300,000 yuan for the script, and the rest has nothing to do with me..."

"No, you're famous in Hong Kong... I guess the Emperor will use you to advertise..."

"I'm just a screenwriter, what can I promote..."After a pause, Shen Xudong said: "However, they did invite me to Hong Kong to join the group..."

"Are you going then?"

“… I should go, just study..."

Aunt Liu is a little anxious...

This is deliberately hanging her!

Take the initiative to stir up the topic: "... Who is the investor of "Witness to All" you are talking about? ”

Shen Xudong smiled: "Auntie... This is just an idea, the director has not yet been decided, the script has not been written, and Mr. Chen Daoming has not said that he will definitely act, and the financial situation is impossible to talk about! ”

“… I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious~ Isn't this thinking about Sissi... I want her to act in a movie! ”

Cai Yinong suddenly interjected: "If you want her to act in a movie, the best way is to go south to develop... Mainland TV dramas are okay, but film production is a big gap with Hong Kong... Moreover, the co-production stipulates that there must be a mainland actor as the starring role, and the actor must use a Hong Kong actor, so the heroine must be a mainland actor, and a popular actress like Yifei has a great chance. ”

“… She taught... The agent says the same thing! ”

Aunt Liu almost said that she missed her mouth, but fortunately she reacted in time...

"However, I just listened to it, and I think 'The Tailor' is quite suitable for a co-production..."

You're really good at talking...

Aunt Liu asked about "All the People Witnessed", and you changed the topic at once...

Cai Yinong looked at Shen Xudong: "What do you think?" ”

"I..."Shen Xudong just wanted to say that I am an old topic like a screenwriter... Cai Yinong directly blocked: "Tell the truth! ”

“… To be honest, I don't know... I'm neither a producer nor a director... Whether or not it is a co-production is not something I can control. ”

"You just said it was inappropriate, and you didn't control it!"

Shen Xudong could only nod: "The script of "The Tailor" is set to be a mainlander in Hong Kong, I was so unhappy to watch "Infernal Affairs 3"... I feel that Mr. Chen Daoming is a little supporting role in soy sauce..."

"That's what you think... It's kind of interesting..."

Cai Yinong nodded, and then said: "I also know a few producers in Hong Kong, if Mr. Chen has an idea..."

"Sister, don't make a mess, Teacher Chen has his own connections..."

……

I went, it turned out to be an idea!

Talent.

Aunt Liu just wants to arrange for her daughter to play the role, and Sister Cai goes one step further and directly wants to invest and produce...

What virtues do Tang Ren movies have?

But if it is touched, it is a blood loss!

"Suspicious", "Beautiful Mandheling"... The lineup is not bad, the former found Big S, Liu Ye, by the way, and Brother Hu, the director is Qiu Litao!

Neither movie was released...

Why wasn't it released?

Because the theater chain is not optimistic!

"Sister, let me be honest with you, the most important thing to make movies in the mainland at this stage is to have the support of theaters... Last year's "Infernal Affairs 3" actually sold well at the beginning, but after the release of "Mobile Phone", the theater organization led by the New Film Association directly stopped the schedule of "Infernal Affairs 3"..."

"Really?"

"Of course... Otherwise, 30 million in the first week and 36 million in the end? Even if there is piracy, it will not slip so quickly! ”

Feng Xiaogang was picked up by the New Film Federation, and the first drama "Party A and Party B" was reported to be 11 million in the BJ area alone, which is enough to recover the cost!

In recent years, the New Film Association has firmly sat first in the attendance rate and number of moviegoers in the BJ area...

With their strong support, Feng Xiaogang can certainly win "Infernal Affairs 3".

Of course, Director Feng himself is also a piece of material, and the movie is also very competitive..."The Assembly" is against "Vote for Fame", the support of the theater is important, and Feng Xiaogang himself also has the strength...

If you meet a little bard, no amount of support is useless - like "Wu Ji", dominate all the screening rooms in the theater for a month...

Directly suspend the screening of "If Love"...

The box office still failed to break 200 million.

China Film urgently released a "King Kong", and only then did it achieve the goal that the total box office of the Lunar New Year stalls exceeded last year's goal - after all, there were "No Thieves in the World" and "Kung Fu" in 04...

"So many doorways in here?"

"Of course..."Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "Sister, if you want to have a good relationship with the theater, then pull them together to invest in low-cost horror films..."

Cai Yinong smiled: "I understand what you mean, low-cost horror films, I used to do the promotion of "Human Meat Char Siu Bun", the movie was originally called "Eight Immortals Restaurant", which was the name I suggested to change, and the poster was also what I meant, and it was later sold for 15 million Hong Kong dollars!" ”

Of course, the box office of 15 million Hong Kong dollars is not particularly high - ranking 21st in the year, after all, that year was 1993, and Hong Kong films were popular all over Asia...

But as a horror film with a cost of 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars, it's okay to make a lot of money!

Therefore, Tang Ren originally wanted to replicate this road in the mainland, but "Suspicious Gods and Ghosts" actually took the suspenseful and terrifying route...

Why didn't I get the theater, it was never released at all...

Now listening to Shen Xudong say this, it is like an empowerment: "Yes, we can directly find a theater to cooperate, we provide a production team and actors, don't share, make some filming money, just exercise the team... After we become famous, there will naturally be investors looking for us to make movies! ”

“… But if you do this, the directors may not be willing, after all, the theater chain will not pay a high price..."

"You can rest assured that you can make a movie, they can't ask for it!"

Cai Yinong gave him a reassuring look.

Next to her, Aunt Liu, who had not spoken all the time and was even about to leave, took a deep look at Shen Xudong - this guy is really talented!

That's the case, at first, she was very excited, thinking about letting Sissi cooperate with Chen Daoming...

But after arriving at Shen Xudong's room, this idea changed...

After all, Shen Xudong hasn't released a movie yet, and even the TV series has only released one "Dragon Babu"...

The ability to monetize talent has not been verified...

Even if it's a talent, she doesn't think it's too late to get on the bus later...

On the contrary, Cai Yinong's words met her expectations: If Sissi wants to act in a movie, she should go south to Hong Kong to develop!

From Gong Li to the international chapter, they all did this...

Then with the help of Hong Kong movies, enter Hollywood!
