Chapter 18 Why Don't You Go Alone? (4/4)
Shen Xudong also came with a purpose...
He knew what Chen Daoming wanted to say when he saw him, Wang Jinghua was there, what else could he say?
It's nothing more than pulling the relationship...
In fact, at this stage, the value of a star is more than a film and television drama.
After all, film and television dramas may lose money, but the value of stars is still very high...
Especially if it's already mixed up!
It's called influence...
At this stage, Wang Jinghua can really be called the No. 1 agent in domestic entertainment, with a bunch of stars under his hands.
Li Lianhua, Fan Bingbing, Hu Jun, Tong David, Ren Quan, Xia Yu, Zhou Yun, as well as Michelle Yeoh, Guan Zhilin, Carina Lau, Wu Junru, Leung Jiahui and other Hong Kong stars in the mainland...
From this point of view, if Shen Xudong is really willing, he can immediately become one of the most powerful people in domestic entertainment...
But this is only a paper honor.
With so many artists, how to manage them?
Listen to whom?
The company is definitely going to get bogged down in endless rip-offs...
Forget it!
But... He didn't want Wang Jinghua to lead the crowd to join Orange Sky!
For no other reason, I just don't want Wu Kebo to be proud...
Even if he knew that there would be endless troubles, he was not happy!
Therefore, when the topic shifted to Wang Jinghua and was about to lead the crowd to leave, he answered: "Huayi has always pursued the strategy of 'one star, one guide, one brother and one sister'.
It is true that this strategy has brought huge benefits to Huayi, but the problem is that in the strict sense, Mr. Ge and Director Feng are now combined, and they are more of the overlords of the Chinese New Year file, which can guarantee the right to speak on the big screen, but one brother and one sister...
Their brokerage contract is in the hands of Sister Hua. This is impossible to tolerate! ”
"Xiaogang has also left Huayi!"
“… But still maintain cooperation, "No Thieves in the World", "Mobile Phone 2", Huayi has investment! ”
Wang Jinghua interjected: "Actually, Xia Yu and they have long been dissatisfied, Hua Yi's elbow has turned out in the past few years - he has not made an appointment with the artist of his own company..."
"Xia Yu?"
Shen Xudong's expression was strange...
Hua Yi really didn't say anything to Xia Yu!
In recent years, Xia Yu has starred in many good films with good word-of-mouth or good box office: "Diorama", ranked tenth at the box office in 2000, won two awards in seven nominations at the Golden Horse Awards, was shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival, and won the Best Co-production Award at the Golden Rooster Award and Huabiao Awards;
"My Brothers and Sisters", No. 3 at the box office in 2001;
"Carla is a Dog", ranked tenth at the box office in 2003, and was nominated for two Golden Rooster Awards;
"Police Appointment", six nominations for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Film, and Xia Yu himself won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor...
In addition, there is "Waiting Alone", partner Li Lianhua, three nominations for the Golden Rooster Award, shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival, and it is still the memory of a whole generation of fans, and they consider it the best youth film in China...
If you want to say that you have delayed others, Shen Xudong can still nod and admit it, you said that you delayed Xia Yu?
Of course, Shen Xudong definitely can't tell the truth and continue to listen to Wang Jinghua's complaints...
mentioned "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", Wang Jinghua was very optimistic about this project, let many of its actresses compete, and then was given to Zhao Yanzi!
Zhao Yanzi has not agreed to join Huayi!
……
"Are you ready to join Orange Sky? That's not a good idea..."
Halfway through the chat, Wang Jinghua talked about Orange Sky, Shen Xudong frowned, and then looked sincere: "As far as I know, Wu Kebo is playing capital operation!" He doesn't understand film and television, and I don't think he understands capital either! ”
“… How? ”
"Why do you want to mix in the entertainment industry if you understand capital? How much is the entertainment industry? If you really want to understand capital, you should play finance! ”
“… You say he doesn't understand film and television? ”
"Hmm!"
Shen Xudong nodded: "Because of a trivial matter, I directly withdrew "The Fox Wife of the Mountain Village", "The Legend of the Hunter in Xing'anling", including the TV series "The Best Family", by the way, and "The Biography of Zhao Yun" that I promised to write before, they don't care!" ”
"The Biography of Zhao Yun?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "To make a blockbuster, there is no more suitable than the three countries, as long as the cost does not exceed 50 million US dollars, the three East Asian countries are enough to recover the cost... Andy Lau is ready to act, and the script has been written... Does Mr. Chen want to play Zhuge Liang? ”
Chen Daoming shook his head: "I'll forget it... I can't play Zhuge Kongming! ”
"Who are the investors?"
"It's not decided yet... It's not time for the project to start yet... At least we have to wait for the release of "No Thieves in the World"..."
Wang Jinghua changed the topic: "There is Zhuang Liqi in Orange Sky!" ”
Shen Xudong smiled: "If nothing else, Mr. Zhuang should leave Orange Sky next month!" ”
"Huh?"
"The longer you work together, the more problems you can find!" After a pause, Shen Xudong simply suggested: "Why doesn't Sister Hua set up an artist agency by herself?" ”
"Many production companies have their own people, and it's not my turn to play important roles!"
"Then you can follow the example of CAA, not only sign actors, but also sign directors, and directly direct directors and actors to package together..."
“CAA?”
"The world's top artist agency, project packaging, packaging, and more visual translation should be bundled sales.
CAA does not only help a drama to provide one or two stars, but provides a complete package service: from project planning, to writers, screenwriters, producers, to directors and actors, all ready, packaged, bundled and cooperated with Hollywood companies, which greatly enhances its bargaining power. ”
Hearing this, Wang Jinghua's eyes lit up...
……
This topic ended for the time being, and Chen Daoming asked Shen Xudong: "Do you have any recent works?" ”
"I took over a few adaptations of Gu Long, and I am writing "Meteor Butterfly Sword"..."
"You like martial arts so much?"
“… People give money, and "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is actually a reference to "The Godfather"... The storyline, the characters..."
"The Godfather? Corleone? ”
Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, even many lines are written according to it!" ”
Chen Daoming became interested: "You tell me." ”
“… Gu Long himself wrote in "About Martial Arts": "When I wrote "Meteor, Butterfly, Sword", I was most influenced by "The Godfather".
The book "The Godfather" has been made into a very sensational movie by Marlon Bai Landu, and the old man in "Meteor, Butterfly, Sword" is the shadow of the person "The Godfather"...'"
“… Then I can take a look! ”
Shen Xudong immediately suggested: "If Mr. Chen is interested, the old man in "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is indeed very suitable for you!" ”
Chen Daoming hurriedly shook his head: "I can't do it, I can't stand it!" ”
Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, the old man in "Meteor Butterfly Sword" didn't do anything from beginning to end... There is no fight plot at all! ”
“… I'll read the script! ”
Director Chen didn't directly refuse, and then asked: "Is there a movie?" ”
Shen Xudong said embarrassedly: "... I haven't written much of a movie script lately..."
“… Is there no script for me or are you not writing a script? ”
"Teacher Chen, to you, I won't... Eh, I have an idea in mind..."
Before Chen Daoming could speak, Wang Jinghua immediately said: "What kind of idea?" ”
"It's a work that exposes the reasons behind bad movies..."
