"Glory of the Tang Dynasty", a script that combines the stories of "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei" and "The Little Soldier"...

This story belongs to the classic companion-type script - "Save the Cat" ten movie genres...

At first, the partners hated each other, but how would the story have developed if it weren't for this?

But their shared experience reveals the fact that neither of them can do without the other; In fact, they are all incomplete halves of a whole.

Shen Xudong continued: "... At the end of the movie, the homeless arrives in Xizhou with a money bag on his back... He was greeted by a city full of white-haired soldiers... Just as he handed over his money bag and was about to leave, the Tibetan invaders..."

"Did he stay, then?"

"Definitely..."

"Is he dead or alive?"

“… Definitely dead..."

After listening to this story, the scene was a little solemn...

"Is it true?"

“… The story is of course fictional, but after the Anshi Rebellion, the Western Regions and Chang'an were cut off and lost all support, and Guo Ziyi's nephew Guo Xin led the Anxi Army to guard the Western Regions for more than forty years..."

Huang Zhonglei was stunned for a long time, and then spoke: "This story... It's not a good seller! ”

Shen Xudong nodded: "So, I want to find Cheng Long to play a soldier..."

"Cheng Long plays a soldier... Can he? ”

Only then did Shen Xudong realize that Cheng Long hadn't transformed at this time...

And before "Myth", he had never made a costume film!

"Cheng Long doesn't seem to be ready to come to the mainland to develop?"

"He will definitely come to the mainland, Hong Kong is too small..."

"It's just..."

“… Take a look at the box office of "New Police Story"..."

A few people chatted with Cheng Long with a word, around "New Police Story"...

As for "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

It's like forgotten!

Also, there is a big problem with the book "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" - destroying national unity!

How could Huayi invest in such a film?

……

Shen Xudong took the cup, walked to the dining table, put down the wine glass, scooped a plate of honey plum meat, and prepared to eat something...

The scene is arranged in the form of a buffet.

He's still hungry.

After taking a bite, Deng Jie walked over: "Eat?" ”

“… Well, Auntie, what's wrong? ”

"This is a red envelope for you!"

"Yo, and red envelopes? Thank you, Auntie! ”

Shen Xudong didn't open it at all, and directly put the red package into his pocket...

It's quite thin, estimated to be a few hundred!

Deng Jie's face was a little strange: "Don't you open it and take a look?" ”

“… Don't do it. ”

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Anyway, Auntie won't treat me badly!" ”

“… Where do you go next? ”

"Going to Venice..."

"Venice? Oh, "Citizen of the Crown" has been shortlisted for the main competition..."

Deng Jie nodded: "You eat first, I'll go and greet the others!" ”

"Hmm..."

Shen Xudong watched her walk over, continued to eat, and... A gust of fragrant wind wafted over, and he turned his head, it was Huo Yan...

It's normal for Huo Yanyan to appear on such an occasion, and the Huang brothers like to take her to the wine party...

"The big screenwriter is eating?"

"Hmm... What's wrong? ”

Huo Yanyan glanced at him and said coquettishly: "... Can't you talk to you if you're fine? ”

“… You say..."

"I'm listening to them discussing Cheng Long, do you have a new script?"

“… No, you think too much, listen to them discuss the National Day schedule..."

"Oh... Do you have any new works? ”

"I signed up for the sketch contest of Chinese opera, and I don't have time to write a new script for the time being..."

"If there is a new script in the future, think more about me!"

Shen Xudong said politely: "Certainly..."

Huo Yanyan looked at him and frowned slightly: "Don't you like me?" ”

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment: "... No, I don't. ”

"Then why don't you look at me?"

"Isn't that rude... Aunt Xu Fan is looking for me, I'll go over first! ”

Shen Xudong immediately put aside Huo Yanyan, turned around and walked in the direction of Xu Fan...

How to put it, Huo Yanyan made him feel very uncomfortable...

Yes, he doesn't mind discussing art, but it's limited to a specific group of people, and he can't hold a woman like Huo Yanyan!

Well, to tell you the truth, he didn't think Huo Yanyan could help him.

……

"Aunt Fan..."

Shen Xudong walked up to Xu Fan and said hello, and the latter smiled at him: "I heard that you are going to Venice?" ”

"Hmm... The crew invited me. ”

"Tsk, that's amazing, Venice Film Festival!"

Shen Xudong hurriedly explained: "... No, the movie is serious and difficult to sell, so I can only promote it through the film festival to see if I can sell overseas copyrights and make up for it..."

"Then next time you have a script suitable for the film festival, remember to give it to Director Feng..."

"Good!"

Shen Xudong responded, and didn't say any nonsense like 'Feng Xiaogang is a commercial director'...

Feng Xiaogang actually has literary and artistic feelings

It's a pity that there is no way out for literature and art.

Even if he later succeeded in making a name for himself as a Lunar New Year, in the film industry, Feng Xiaogang, who was born on the margins, did not occupy both ends.

He is neither a film aristocrat, nor a graduate of the profession.

Even though some people think he is a genius, he is still condemned by mainstream filmmakers as "an untalented man".

He needed a work that was weighty enough to add a profound and impactful work or two to his resume, preferably one of the kind epic...

Prove yourself!

Later, he filmed "1942"...

But at that time, he wanted both fame and box office...

I really don't understand this thing, you said you were ready to lose money, why did you get wronged later?

Feng Xiaogang walked over: "What are you talking about?" ”

Xu Fan smiled at him: "... Help you make an appointment..."

Feng Xiaogang's eyes lit up: "Do you have a new work?" ”

Shen Xudong hurriedly shook his head: "... No, I've been following you to promote recently, and I can't sleep enough, so how can I have the energy to think about new works? ”

“… If there's a new work, be sure to show it to me first! ”

Shen Xudong nodded: "Hmm... Certain. ”

……

In fact, Shen Xudong's judgment was wrong, Feng Xiaogang did have an inferiority complex, and he really wanted to add one or two profound and influential works to his resume, but..."Orphaned" is already an influential work!

The whole people discussed, and the media praised Feng Xiaogang as 'a director with a sense of social responsibility'...

These are all treatments that he has not enjoyed before, and these beautiful words he received when he fought with Ah Mou...

Undoubtedly, this compliment made him feel good...

The most important thing is that "Orphaned" is also a big hit, so that he and Zhang Guoli's company will open a good business!

It is indeed a good opening, Zhang Guoli's self-directed and self-starred "May Acacia Flowers" ranked first in the ratings of the same period, sold more than 20 TV stations across the country, with a profit margin of at least 100%, and when it comes to movies, the profit margin is even higher!

At this time, Feng Xiaogang has not yet swelled, of course he knows that all this is inseparable from Shen Xudong's script...

So, Shen Xudong received another red envelope...
