Experimental Theatre, backstage.

At about half past ten in the morning, Shen Xudong arrived, still holding breakfast in his hand...

Pancake fruit + soy milk.

When Zhao Linhai saw him, he immediately asked, "Where have you been?" ”

“… I didn't go anywhere, I bought breakfast. ”

Where else can I go?

Just came from the hotel...

The art exchange lasted until half past three in the morning, and at one point Shen Xudong was worried about whether the senior sister would faint...

In the end, it was he who was exhausted...

It was close to ten o'clock in the morning when he woke up...

"It's half past ten, and it's our turn to rehearse soon..."

"It's just the right time..."

Shen Xudong didn't care.

Originally, after the sketch of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" was written, it should have nothing to do with him.

The actors' positions, lines, etc., they will adjust themselves...

And some time ago, he has been busy with the preparation of "The Best Family".

Zhao Linhai lowered his voice: "Everyone is quite nervous... After all, Cheng Long is coming! ”

“… What are they nervous about? ”

Shen Xudong doesn't understand very well, where is this tense point...

"In case it is valued by Cheng Long..."

"Stop!" Shen Xudong simply said honestly: "Cheng Long came mainly to talk to me about the script of the movie version of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"... It has nothing to do with them, I'm not nervous, what are they nervous about? ”

"Not for casting?"

"Who told you he was here for casting?"

Shen Xudong clapped his hands, motioned for everyone to come around, and then said: "Let me say something ugly first, the relationship between the sketch of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and the movie script can be said to have nothing to do with it, the core of our sketch is to be trustworthy, and the movie is to show that tragic and majestic history..."

"Secondly, the reason why Cheng Long came here was mainly to talk to me about the script, and watching the performance was just by the way..."

"In the end, he's not here for casting, so you don't have to be nervous..."

Yang Shuo hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Then if we behave well..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "No matter how good the performance is, it's useless, in the history of Anxi Army, the characters are at least in their sixties..."

"Of course, everyone is also discouraged, if nothing else, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" will also shoot a TV series version, and I will definitely give priority to choosing from among you when the time comes!"

……

The movie version aired, and then the TV series version was filmed...

Quite a normal thing.

Dual development of IP!

Although there is generally a TV series first, and then the movie version is filmed, there are also film versions in front, and the drama version still gains a lot of examples, "Myth" and "October Siege" are good...

The story of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" can easily expand to 40 episodes of TV series.

It's just not easy to get - there are a lot of war scenes, and the investment must be very large...

Let's draw a pie first...

Speaking of rehearsals, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is the fourth program, and it has been rehearsed twice...

In fact, in this sketch competition, other programs have been reduced to foils in fact, including "Jiaoer", which Shen Xudong thinks is good...

Because the media already knew that Cheng Long was coming to watch the sketch "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

Then everyone must report on "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

Naturally ignore other programs ...

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Xudong received a call from Deng Jie, saying that he had received Cheng Long...

"That's good!"

"What time do you guys finish?"

"We started the show at six o'clock... Our show was supposed to be on stage around half past seven..."

Deng Jie pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Cheng, then I will arrange for the car to send Brother Chenglong over..."

"Hmm..."

Shen Xudong has no opinion...

"There's one thing, let me tell you, your Uncle Zhang has a little conflict with your school, so he won't go!"

"Contradictions... Oh, I see! ”

Because of Zhang Guoli, Director Huang was fired...

This kind of thing can affect the reputation of the school!

just hung up the phone, the phone rang again, this time it was Zhuang Liqi, he asked directly: "I heard that Cheng Long was picked up by Zhang Guoli and Han Shanping?" ”

“… Really? Then I don't know! ”

"Did you reveal the project to them?"

"That's right..."Orphaned" celebration, I mentioned the story outline of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."

Zhuang Liqi sighed: "You didn't reveal the story of the "Three Kingdoms", did you?" ”

"This one doesn't... Uncle Zhuang, how do you know? ”

"Didn't you tell Chen Hao..."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Liqi smiled: "How is it?" It's got what you wanted! ”

“… Uncle Zhuang, let's talk about the Three Kingdoms! ”

Get what you want?

Do you think you just got through yesterday?

Lao Tzu has long studied her thoroughly...

Zhuang Liqi thought he was thin-skinned and followed his topic: "The story of the Three Kingdoms is too familiar to Asian audiences, especially those in the three East Asian countries, who can almost casually name every important person and every important battle. If we make it, it will definitely be a big hit at the box office! ”

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, but choose the right story!" ”

Indeed, the movies with the theme of the Three Kingdoms are very popular, including the big bad movies "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" and "Guan Yunchang", among them, "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" has a box office of 22 million US dollars in Asia, and "Guan Yunchang" also has 6 million US dollars overseas...

Zhuang Liqi nodded: "I heard Chen Hao tell me that you want to write "The Battle of Guandu"... Why not "Red Cliff"? ”

"Red Cliffs..."

"Is it difficult?"

"It doesn't matter what the difficulty is, the key is that if you choose "Red Cliff", Cao Cao's image is not easy to get!"

"You write a version first," Zhuang Liqi lowered her voice: "Let me tell you something, Mr. Wu has recently gotten very close to a certain international director..."

"An international director? Spielberg? ”

"Chinese International Director..."

"Oh... Wu Yusen! ”

Zhuang Liqi was stunned for a moment: "How did you guess?" ”

Shen Xudong said as a matter of course: "Didn't he mess up "The Wind Whisperer", I heard that the new film "Memory Rift" is not very popular, and he can't get a job in Hollywood, so he is ready to return to China for development..."

"Don't be so mean, he is a world-renowned commercial film director!"

“… Well, I'm just saying it casually..."

"Okay, after a while, we will arrange for the two of you to meet, and then you can write the script according to his request..."

Shen Xudong didn't take a sip, but said, "I'll talk about it then!" ”

After a brief chat, Shen Xudong hung up the phone...

Zhuang Liqi's meaning is obvious, "Red Cliff", and wrote to Wu Yusen...

Sorry, Shen Xudong can't do it!

Even Reed can't do it - in the preparation stage of the script of "Red Cliff", Reed asked director Wu Yusen what is the theme of the film he hopes to show?

Wu Yusen replied: Peace.

？

In the story of "Red Cliff", there are strategies, wars, and killings, but there is no peace.

"Whoever wants to talk about peace in that situation is looking for death."

Unexpectedly, Wu Yusen not only disagreed with Lu Wei's proposal, but also repeatedly emphasized that "Xiao Qiao is very important" and "Lin Zhiling is very good!" ”

So, from the very beginning, "his idea was all about taking a corner"...

"You are playing a role and specializing in making a movie, why do you have to spoil a big drama like "Red Cliff"?"

You see, you can't even handle the reeds, it's strange that Shen Xudong can handle it!
