For Shen Xudong, no big director or small director can compare to a director who is willing to cooperate with him!

Du Qifeng, of course, is no exception...

Du Qifeng's romance film is actually a must!

There is an episode of "The Tenth Screening Room" that complains about domestic romance films, saying, 'Why will there always be a market for romance films all over the world, and it will always be that story but never go out of style?' ’

Because, in any era, any young person will experience love, and at the same time, everyone's expectations for romance films are also the lowest, and the purpose of watching romance movies is really too simple: just need the director to tell them that although life is very trivial, repeated from 9 to 5 every day, experiencing several separate relationships, and no longer dare to contact the things and people around them, but we still feel that love is a very beautiful thing in our hearts, at this time, you only need to make a movie to tell us, Love is the most anticipated and beautiful thing, it's enough.

Why are domestic romance films very low?

Nowadays, most directors don't even believe in love themselves, but they go to make romance movies.

You say that you still want to shoot something that you don't believe in your heart to convince everyone?

Is it possible?

Du Qifeng should still believe in love...

"Lonely Men and Widows", "Thin Men and Women", Johnny To's script and team consciousness are very stable, almost every love scene can be repeated with a different starring role, but his values have not changed much.

His romance films are the same as Jin Yong, generally girls like the male protagonist first, but they are not conservative, they will set off the atmosphere and poetic romance, as well as a little humor that fits the situation.

Love light comedy!

Why did Shen Xudong encourage Du Qifeng to make a romance movie?

Because... He really has a few love scripts in his hands!

Love must be positive, bright, and warm like a spring breeze.

Even if it ends tragically, it is sweet and beautiful because of love.

For example, "Breaking Up Men and Women", "Men and Women" and the like...

Of course, it's not because these scripts are classic enough, but because they are suitable for Du Qifeng to shoot - after all, he has masterpieces such as "Lonely Men and Widows" and "Thin Men and Women".

He came to shoot these works, even if the box office could not break 100 million, more than 40 million was still predictable!

Of course, Shen Xudong will not rush to give him the script, in case, he takes the script and shoots it himself, what can Shen Xudong do?

Sue him?

People are big directors!

So, after returning to China, I have to find my senior sister...

Contact through Chen Hao...

……

"Distinguished Citizen" received an invitation to the closing ceremony...

In fact, it is to be expected, because before the closing ceremony, "Outstanding Citizen" won several off-screen awards one after another, such as the Most Innovative Film Award, the Film Future Award for Best Film, the Catholic Cultural Award, the International Film Press Association Award, the Pacinetti Award for Best Film and Best Actor, etc...

Not only Shen Xudong didn't know what these things were, but even Wang Qingqiang didn't quite understand...

During the film festival, there are dozens of similar awards, and everyone is too lazy to care about so much, just take the award and accept it.

Although the off-site award has little to do with the awards in the main competition unit, the more off-site awards show that the quality of the film is reliable, and the hope of winning the main competition unit award is definitely greater than that of the film without an award.

And these awards are all cocktail parties, the kind that can be eaten and drunk!

The crew didn't fall a single one...

By the way, the party still hasn't been held - it's too expensive, any party, the venue fee starts at 30,000 euros a night, you can't just use the venue, you have to prepare drinks, food, etc., to say the least 200,000 euros!

Forget it, it's good like this.

The hotel-style hotel where several people stay is officially provided, and the hotel brings two meals - it's just not delicious!

So, a group of people doesn't actually cost much.

When I arrived at the closing ceremony, I was actually at the Palais des Cinémaths - there was no red carpet for the closing ceremony this year...

- In order to prevent terrorist attacks, this year's Venice Film Festival canceled the red carpet of celebrities and announced the winners in the cold.

It's not deserted, there are still a lot of people at the closing ceremony.

When Chen Daoming saw Shen Xudong, he immediately asked him, "Where have you been these days?" ”

Shen Xudong hurriedly explained: "I talked to Du Qifeng and Chen Kexin about the script..."

"You... How did you meet them? ”

“… I just ran into it, and we talked about it..."

Before Chen Daoming could speak, Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "... What script to talk about? ”

"Romance Screenplay..."

"Romance?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Hong Kong directors go north to film, romance movies are the best choice..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Other types are easy to hit the wall..."

"Have you discussed the script?"

"I have a number of scripts in mind, and in the next few days, we mainly analyze the themes and genres that may be popular in the mainland, and then discuss the scale and so on..."

Chen Daoming suddenly said: "Don't you feel that they don't look down on the mainland?" ”

"I don't care if he looks at it or not, anyway, if they want to survive, they have to go north to make films, and in the end, the market will teach them how to face the mainland!"

“… Are you so confident? ”

"Of course, the mainland market has huge potential, think about the number of moviegoers of a "Shaolin Temple" that year, the number of viewers exceeded one billion, what is this concept..."

1 billion moviegoers, based on the current ticket price of 20 yuan, that is 20 billion...

Of course, Shen Xudong also knows that the number of moviegoers cannot grow indefinitely, "Wolf Warrior" is so fierce, and the number of moviegoers is still stuck at 160 million...

But this market is here!

Shen Xudong suddenly pointed at the tube: "Why didn't the director speak?" ”

Liu Bei interjected: "... He's nervous! ”

Cao Xiwen approached Shen Xudong's ear: "I saw the director reciting his acceptance speech yesterday!" ”

Shen Xudong beckoned Cao Xiwen to lean over, the latter didn't know why, and then asked Shen Xudong to say loudly: "... You can talk about it generously! ”

Guan Hu has a strong sense of gain and loss, otherwise, he would not have filmed "Eight Hundred" - after 19 years of filming, Director Guan Hu ran to take a photo with Qin Han during a sensitive period.

Qin Han is not only the descendant of Sun Yuanliang, he is also a big man in the Taiwanese film industry, and he has considerable influence in the selection of the Golden Horse Awards...

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and no one thought that the 19-year Golden Horse Awards would involve politically sensitive events...

Now that "Outstanding Citizen" is so popular, the media has all kinds of heated discussions, especially after arriving at the scene, a bunch of people have blessed it, and it looks like it has to be you...

Moreover, it was already the original time, but the closing ceremony did not start, and it was said that the jury had just left the hotel, so there was no choice but to postpone it.

While waiting, the atmosphere at the scene was too solemn, which made everyone's mood rise unconsciously.

Guan Hu's nervous hands are trembling...

Chen Daoming couldn't stand it: "Don't think about winning the award now, the gains and losses are already doomed..."

Guan Yu smiled bitterly: "I understand... But I can't control it! ”

"Look at Xudong, how calm he is!"

Guan Hu looked at Shen Xudong, who took out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket, and just noticed that Guan Hu was looking at him, so he handed over a piece: "... Do you want to eat it? ”
