Chapter 104: Rejection on the Spot (4/4)
Shen Xudong is talking about "Despicable Streets"...
How can you say it abruptly...
In fact, in addition to satirizing the 'essence of gangsters', joining the director's line also has another layer of critical intention - the film industry is actually similar to the underworld, both belong to real interest groups...
Chen Musheng has no interest in pure gangster films, he prefers to discuss institutional issues in movies, so the big traitors in his movies are usually people in the system...
Shen Xudong didn't expect him to shoot "Despicable Street", but hoped that he would help introduce a suitable director.
Chen Musheng complained: "I'm about to become your agent..."
"Then I only know you as a Hong Kong director..."
"Who said that? Brother Chenglong also has a good relationship with you..."Having said that, Chen Musheng still asked: "Who do you think is suitable to be the director of this movie?" ”
"I think director Zheng Baorui is good!"
"Zheng Baorui? The director of "Hot Blooded Youth"? ”
"Hmm... His style leans towards darkness and thriller, and Cruel Streets needs a director of this genre at the helm! ”
"Okay, give me the script, and when I get back to Hong Kong, I'll contact him!"
……
First to Shanghai, then BJ, Guangzhou, Shenzhen...
North, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen!
Film promotion is inseparable from these four cities.
Actually, this schedule is very good, there is no opponent, the Hollywood blockbusters "King Arthur", "I, Robot", and "Spy 2" have come to an end...
It's good to have no opponents, but there are also difficulties - mobilizing the audience to go into the theater!
It feels like everyone is accumulating energy for the New Year, and the crowd of moviegoers in November is pitiful...
Even with the excitement of "Golden Branches", it's not enough!
That's why we need to publicize it!
Chen Hao and Hu Jun also came...
By the way, there is also Wu Kebo...
Shen Xudong greeted them one by one - she was originally going to shake hands with Senior Sister Chen Hao, but she pounced directly, so she had to change the handshake to a hug, Wu Kebo smiled all the way...
This is a good hand at art, and he must be able to communicate with Teng Wenyi.
Wu Kebo did not give an interview to the media...
I don't know how to talk - this is a commonality of white gloves, very mysterious, I don't know where his money came from...
His main focus is on the wine table!
To be honest, Orange Sky's distribution power is real rubbish, there are 36 theaters across the country, and they only signed distribution agreements with nine of them, if China Film hadn't taken over the distribution of "Keep Talking", it is estimated that the box office would be less than half!
But it doesn't have to affect Wu Kebo's pretense.
The old-fashioned boasting method, no shortage of money, no shortage of contacts or anything...
Of course, he mainly blows to Chen Musheng, Wu Kebo still knows in his heart, he has money and connections, and lacks production ability...
Chen Musheng is a good candidate!
At least it's much better than Zeng Zhiwei's gang, I came to the mainland, I didn't do anything, and I wasted hundreds of thousands...
By the way, take a look at Gu Tianrao...
Shen Xudong and Hu Jun, in Boss Wu's opinion, are just accompanying guests...
They didn't care, they talked about themselves.
Hu Jun took over "Witnessed by the Whole People" and played Sun Wei, who was Lin Tai's driver... He and Shen Xudong are also old friends, and they have known each other since "Dragon Babu"...
"I heard Cao Ping say, are you going to do "Secret Calculation"?"
“… Yes, she was looking for you? ”
"Hmm..."
"Have you watched "Secret Calculation"?"
Hu Jun nodded: "I saw it, but I feel that the scale is a bit big..."
"It's okay, we'll consult experts when we adapt, and besides, it can be published, there's no reason why the TV series shouldn't be broadcast!"
The scale of "Secret Calculation" is really large, the first part has ten episodes, the blind Ah Bing became a hero and wrote five or six episodes, ordinary domestic dramas may not be so good, but they can only be written here, and the later episodes write about A Bing's marriage and death...
Arranged marriages, ignorant thoughts, human weaknesses, fatalistic deaths, heroic legends are just people, and people have limitations, and human limitations lead to human tragedy...
"You wrote the script yourself?"
"I'm in charge of editing, Mr. Mai has already written a version of the screenplay..."
"That'll do..."
Hu Jun agreed very simply...
Shen Xudong raised his glass: "Let's touch one of our brothers!" ”
"It's okay to drink, next time you have a suitable script, you must think more about me!"
"Don't worry, it's all right!"
The two clink glasses...
……
Chen Hao sat next to Wu Kebo, bored, uh, actually not boring, Wu Kebo would pull her to toast when he was blowing...
Use her as a tool!
After chatting with her for a few words, she simply came to Shen Xudong and Hu Jun with a wine glass...
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh," Shen Xu said casually: "The spy war drama I told Director Cao Ping before is ready to be filmed, and the military brother plays the male lead!" ”
"So fast?"
"I'm not happy, it's been half a month, let's set the protagonist first... The Beishi Center will also be opened..."
"Who is the director going to look for?"
Hu Jun also looked at Shen Xudong, who smiled: "This hasn't been decided yet..."
"Do you have a candidate?"
"Don't worry, Director Cao Ping knows it!"
Changing the subject: "What's going on over there in "Beauty Scheming"? ”
Chen Hao had no expression: "... That's it, still filming..."
While chatting, Shen Xudong suddenly heard Wu Kebo mention his name...
"Xudong has signed several film contracts with us, right, Xudong?"
"What?"
Shen Xudong looked up...
Wu Kebo said it again, and Shen Xudong asked suspiciously: "... No, I remember that the next movies were all in cooperation with China Film, Huayi, Taihe People, and Emperor..."
Wu Kebo was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Haven't you always cooperated with our Orange Sky?" ”
Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, except for "Keep Talking", several of my movies are cooperated with other companies..."
Wu Kebo waved his hand: "It's all the same... The new film you told Director Chen, we want Orange Sky! ”
Shen Xudong looked at Chen Musheng: "... What's new? ”
"Cruel Streets!"
"Oh, that film... Our company is ready to invest in its own production, so we won't trouble Boss Wu..."
“… Your own company? You..."
Wu Kebo then remembered that Shen Xudong was not his subordinate!
It's just a partnership...
They don't have anything to do with each other at all!
But such a lack of cooperation in public still made him a little angry...
I'm pretending, don't you know how to cooperate?
Fortunately, Chen Hao spoke: "Let's talk about the new project, now is the celebration time for "Keep Talking"!" ”
"Everybody's drinking!"
Stop on this topic...
Then Wu Kebo suddenly said: "Our company seems to be the producer of "Soldier Assault"... It seems that 8 million have been invested! ”
Shen Xudong was speechless...
Why are you threatening Lao Tzu with this?
He replied: "I was looking for Zhuang's producer, and he said that he liked that play, so he invested 8 million..."
"Don't you know that Zhuang Liqi is the vice president of our Orange Sky?"
“… So? ”
"I can withdraw funds at any time..."
"Hehe..."
Shen Xudong smiled back...
