Chapter 24: I Feel Like I've Opened Pandora's Box (2/4)

"But that's just a few..."

"Do you think this is the case? If you want to say no, I really doubt if you're the first day of entertainment! I've all met a third-rate star assistant yelling at me, if it weren't for someone around me to stop me, I would have smoked him in the morning! ”

The reporter who interviewed smiled: "Which play are you talking about?"

"How many plays have I only followed? Anyway, it's not "No. 1 in the World", the starring lineup of "No. 1 in the World", I didn't look for a Hong Kong and Taiwan actor... A big part of the reason is that I know their virtues too well! ”

"So, you made the statement in the first place?"

"No..."Shen Xudong shook his head: "It was Teacher Chen Daoming who informed me, and I only knew... How can I have time to watch the news on the Internet, "Fairy Sword" is enough to give me a headache! ”

"...Aren't you the screenwriter of "Sword and Fairy"?"

"The post-production special effects relied on me, and that day I saw the monsters they designed and thought it was too rough and too Western, so I drew a... They think I'm reliable, and they pester me every day to make me work overtime together to do the post-production..."

"What does it mean to be too Western?"

""Fairy Sword" belongs to Oriental Xianxia, you can't have a monster in "The Lord of the Rings", right? That's Western magic, aesthetics have to be unified," Speaking of which, Shen Xudong mentioned "The Legend of Shu Mountain" by the way: "The first half of "The Legend of Shu Mountain" has a very oriental fairy flavor, thousands of miles in the sky, and the sword qi is horizontal, but Gu Tianle's Danchenzi, the villain Youquan Old Monster, including the blood demon, are too Westernized! ”

"I heard that Director Xu Ke is bent on combining Western magic with Eastern Xianxia..."

“… I wish him success! ”

"And do you know this statement?"

"Of course... Actually, don't over-interpret it, that statement is a demand for 'fairness, fairness or fairness on horseback!' ’”

"So, you don't know the specifics? If you don't know the specific situation, is it inappropriate to just make a statement? ”

"I just asked if I was beaten, if I was injured, if I apologized... If Wang Bozhao is replaced by Andy Lau or Jackie Chan, do they dare to fight like this? Who gave them the right to be so arrogant? We're just setting things right! ”

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong's mobile phone rang, he glanced at Yu Ji, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

“… It's gone..."

"Then you go first, let's get here today!"

"Oh..."

……

Yu Ji left, Shen Xudong answered the phone, it was... Zhuang Liqi dialed.

Don't... The Emperor protested?

Forget it, let's get through first.

Zhuang Liqi said excitedly, "BJ has also bought the broadcast rights of "No. 1 in the World", and is ready to broadcast it on the TV drama channel with Shanghai TV...'

“… That's a good thing..."

"When the time comes, you have to participate in the publicity!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely participate!"

Anyway, it will be broadcast in July, and he will have time during the summer vacation.

Then Zhuang Liqi said: "It's best to call Teacher Chen Daoming too..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "... This makes it difficult for me, Mr. Chen Daoming does not participate in the publicity, I don't count! ”

“… Isn't he your godfather? If you invite, will he come? ”

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "What godfather... What do I know as a male godfather? I have a dad myself... Riding a horse, who is spreading rumors? ”

Zhuang Liqi on the other end of the phone laughed: "I knew it was impossible... We don't have the habit of recognizing dad everywhere! Okay, next time I hear them say that, I'll help you refute it..."

"Can you tell me who's spreading the rumor?"

“… Those guys misunderstood..."

"The Emperor?"

“… No, don't think about it..."

Shen Xudong asked rhetorically: "That's Mr. Wu..."

“… He thinks that you must be remarkable that you can list so many people's names together..."

"Ask, I see..."

Mr. Wu...

It doesn't matter, your girlfriend will call me Baba anyway...

……

"Maybe they felt that there was a need for a young person to represent this list, so they asked me to sign my name as well..."

Facing the puzzled eyes of everyone in "Fairy Sword", Shen Xudong probably explained why he was on the list...

Brother Hu then asked, "So, you knew these people before?" ”

"I've met a few times, and I've worked together..."

Liu Yifei couldn't help it: "Screenwriter Shen and director Feng Xiaogang collaborated on two movies, don't you know?" ”

“… Oh, I remember..."

Brother Hu suddenly realized: ""Lost Orphans" and "Party A and Party B 2"..."

""Orphaned" seems to be released in July?"

"Yes, on July 22nd, just a week after the release of "Ambush on All Sides"..."

"Huh? The same schedule as "Ambush on All Sides"? ”

It was Cai Yinong who spoke, and she just happened to hear this...

Shen Xudong smiled: "You need a blockbuster to bring a hot market, if it is released in other schedules, it is estimated that no one wants to enter the theater at all..."

"That's how you think about it... What if the box office loses to "Ambush on All Sides"? ”

"I didn't want to win... The cost of people is close to 100 million, and we are only 6 million..."

"100 million? Didn't you say 260 million cost? ”

"You listen to him, Zhang Weiping also said that Andy Lau's salary is 10 million US dollars, do you believe it?"

Andy Lau's salary is around 7 million Hong Kong dollars, this thing can be found!

At this stage, the most expensive actor in Hong Kong (excluding Jackie Chan and Zhou Yunfa) is Liang Chaowei, and Liang Chaowei's public salary is 8 million Hong Kong dollars...

Andy Lau's salary is generally around 6 million Hong Kong dollars, but it was only recently filmed that "Jianghu" exceeded 7 million Hong Kong dollars...

$10 million?

You really have $10 million and won't go to Lee?

Jin Chengwu, Zhang Ziyi and 15 million are almost...

According to the proportion of star remuneration in the total production cost, the production investment of the entire "Ambush on All Sides" will definitely not exceed 100 million.

Cai Yinong smiled and changed the subject: "... I don't know much about movies... But you said horror movies the other day, do you have a script? ”

Shen Xudong was slightly stunned...

looked at Cai Yinong in surprise: "Sister, are you really going to make a horror movie?" ”

Cai Yinong asked rhetorically: "Why not?" ”

Then he said: "What you said is very interesting, I looked through the history of world film, and in addition to astringency and comedy, it is a horror movie... I can't find the right actor or director for comedy, only horror films..."

"However, mainland horror films can't have ghosts... This determines that horror films can only go in the direction of not being scary, so how can they attract audiences? ”

Without waiting for Cai Yinong to speak, Shen Xudong asked and answered: "Go in the direction of soft and astringent!" ”

“… Can't ghosts? ”

"That's right, there can't be real ghosts, which means that the audience knows that all ghosts must be fake when they watch it.

In addition, it is not allowed to decipher the detailed criminal methods, for fear that the criminals will be ambiguous, which means that no matter how ingenious the crime puzzle is, it is impossible to explain it clearly..."

"So, do you have a script?"

“… There's a pretty good one..."

"What's it called?"

"..."Someone Under the Bed"..."
