Zhao Linhai: They are not fledglings, nor are they the kind of people who want to pursue art with a little money...

Although there are some pursuits, I know what I know.

There is only one reason why they stopped Shen Xudong: the risk is too great!

Zhao Linhai is the most direct: "Invest in movies? You are crazy? Do you know how risky it is? ”

Zhao Xin added: "Not to mention the directors who missed, the Youth Film Factory next door hasn't opened for three years, why? Isn't it just a movie that missed... Other film studios have been immersed in the market for many years, but they can't bear it..."

Liao Gaoxiang concluded: "Do you think that the two dramas "Orphaned" and "Outstanding Citizen" have made money, so your eyes are red? Let me tell you, these are all special cases, not to mention that "Orphaned" is because of Feng Xiaogang, "Outstanding Citizen" mainly relies on overseas copyright, do you have overseas contact channels? Can you guarantee that "The Aviator" will be shortlisted for the film festival? Even if you can be shortlisted, can you win a trophy? Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can get a trophy, there is an overseas copyright sale? Do you know how to sell? ”

The three brothers have their own words, and they all mean the same thing - only fools will invest in movies!

Shen Xudong thinks differently...

He's not stupid, and of course he knows the risks.

"I'm not talking about the main control investment, it just so happens that I have an agreement with Senior Sister Chen Hao's Orange Sky to help them write a few movie scripts..."The Aviator" is the script I wrote..."

“… With someone else's money... Then it'll be fine...

Say it earlier, it's a waste of feelings!

The three of them went back and continued to discuss the casting of "The Best Family"...

Why should those who engage in art feel sorry for investors?

Besides, Shen Xudong has made a lot of money for Orange Sky - "The First in the World" has helped Orange Sky make a profit of at least 20 million!

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "I'm going to find Zhou Shen to direct..."

"Li Xiaoran must be fine..."Before the words fell, Zhao Linhai was a little surprised when he heard Shen Xudong mention Zhou Shen: "Zhou Shen? Can he? ”

Shen Xudong shrugged; “… Anyway, it doesn't cost more than 5 million, so you should exercise it... starring Huang Bo + Chen Xi, they are all our own people..."

After a pause, he said again: "And I have a good relationship with Wang Qingqiang..."

"The filmmaker?"

"Hmm..."

“… Then hire a better producer, it's not a big problem! ”

Feng Xiaogang has publicly said before: 'The directors in Hong Kong who often compete abroad rely on relationships. Some films have not yet been filmed, and they have been confirmed by the film festival with good relations to be the opening film'

He also named Jiao Xiongping and said that "there are a group of people in Taiwan who specialize in public relations film festivals, and there is a person surnamed Jiao who knows the chairmen of various film festivals, and is very familiar with them...

Then it's easy if you know her, or if you have a good relationship with her. If there is a distribution company, they will find him and ask her to arrange it, and she will confidently say that she can rest assured, at least arrange one. ’

Does it make sense?

In fact, there is, the European Film Festival itself is indeed a game of small circles, after all, we all know that Hollywood is popular all over the world, and the small circles engaged in art are warmed together...

Shen Xudong... can be regarded as knocking on the door with "Outstanding Citizen", of course, it can only be regarded as a small person in the circle.

But whether it's a small person or a big person, at least enter this circle!

Of course, regarding the suggestion of finding a better producer, Shen Xudong was noncommittal...

Looking for any producers, not to mention the better remuneration of producers, the key... The positions and positions of the producer and the producer overlap, and he is ready to be the producer and producer himself...

This matter was decided, and Shen Xudong joined the casting discussion of "The Best Family" - commenting on the actress's photos...

By the way, he didn't say that Tian Zhuangzhuang wanted to accept him as an apprentice.

On the one hand, there is no need to stimulate them, on the other hand, everyone is a student of Chinese opera after all, and it is still a little embarrassing to go to Nortel to learn to direct...

……

Just when Shen Xudong was discussing actresses, "New Police Story" was released!

Released on September 24th...

In the opening week, the box office was hot, with the mainland box office exceeding 20 million yuan, surpassing the 15 million yuan in three days of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troyin".

is second to the 55 million in the first week of "Ambush on All Sides", and it is not as good as the 22 million in the first week of "Orphaned"...

A bunch of media praised 'breaking the record of co-production'...

It's really speechless, "New Police Story" is a co-production of hanging hair?

After the release of "New Police Story", the film schedule of "Outstanding Citizen" dropped wildly, dropping from the previous 35% to less than 5%, and there was no prime show...

Media reports: "Outstanding Citizen" received 6.2 million in the second week, and the cumulative box office successfully exceeded 10 million...

In fact, only 4.8 million...

Blow a wave, it's a movie starring a Venice actor, if the mainland box office is less than 10 million, it will be too embarrassing!

For Shen Xudong, the release of "New Police Story" has nothing to do with him...

The week after that, he was busy rehearsing the sketch "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" - cut into a 30-minute sketch, divided into three sections...

said that he was going to participate in the sketch contest this year, so he had to talk!

Shen Xudong is also well-known in Chinese opera, the team formation is very smooth, and the actors are basically looking for actors of the same year, Zhang Bo, Yang Shuo, Li Zefeng, including Sun Jian, were all called by him.

Why is there no coat of arms?

What about his filming, "Jinyiwei", director Zhang Li's work...

It was also in this play that he got along with Ma Yinli.

As for the actress ... In addition to the need for a female shopkeeper in the second paragraph, Shen Xudong's meaning asked Chen Xi to come over and make a cameo, and Zhao Xin found it... Mary!

Yes, it's that Mary!

Mary is actually an actor in Chinese opera...

When Shen Xudong saw her, the latter was a little embarrassed...

In fact, Mary is Shen Xudong's senior sister, and she is a Chinese opera 01-level performance department, a serious academic school!

At the same time, it also solved a puzzle of Shen Xudong - why Mary is not willing to be a simple comedian!

Most of the actors from the Chinese Opera Academy want to take the main drama route - Mary does not regard herself as a female comedian, she is positioned as a serious actor, but she has only acted in a few comedies, and it can be seen from her acting path that there are many supporting roles that are not famous in "Beyond" and "You Against the Current"...

It doesn't matter, the female shopkeeper of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" has a pungent personality, and when she falls in love with the male protagonist, she wants to occupy him...

It's fitting that Mary is here to play!

……

“… Stop..."

In the rehearsal hall, Shen Xudong looked at the full version of the rehearsal and thought it was not bad, and then called the junior who came over to help: "Go and move two boxes of drinks... When it's over, come to me for an account! ”

On stage, the actors who had finished acting heard Shen Xudong's arrangement and thanked them in unison: "Thank you, director!" ”

“… I'm really incompetent as a director..."

That's right, Shen Xudong is the screenwriter and director of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

It's just that he asked for leave for three days and two times, there is no way, "The Best Family" has entered the preliminary preparation period, and he always has to show his face as a producer...

Zhang Bo spoke: "You're a busy man..."

"Blind..."

Mary suddenly pointed to Shen Xudong's trouser pocket: "Your phone is ringing!" ”

“… Oh, I'll see..."

Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, it was actually Chen Musheng...

What is Chen Musheng looking for him?
