Chapter Forty-Eight: The Great Change
The first generation of fan economy practitioners, ordinary bad movies like "Slam Dunk" can get a box office of 100 million!
"Thorn Tomb", a super bad movie that is enough to go down in history, actually won more than 60 million, and the project is still profitable - 28 advertising placements...
Relying on his popularity in the music world, he squandered all kinds of things.
"Rooftop Love" is a typical example of relying on the fan base to play tickets and some people pay for them. It's especially joyful to hook up with beautiful women and then save the beauty of the whole hero...
There is no acting ...
Many artists in Taiwan who are mainly engaged in pop music will play soy sauce in some local idol dramas from time to time, and there are many cases of playing the leading role, and we watch it with relish...
It doesn't make much sense to discuss Jielun's acting skills.
In fact, except for Takumi Fujiwara in "Initial D", most people don't remember the name of the role he played at all!
The key is that Shen Xudong may not be able to invite him if he wants to!
The directors who cooperate with others are all ranked first in the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, "Initial D" Liu Weiqiang + Mak Zhaohui; "The City is Full of Golden Armor", directed by A Mou; "Slam Dunk" is also the only best-selling director of Zhu Yanpin in the Taiwanese film industry!
Shen Xudong is far behind...
Don't think about it, write a new book!
"Snail House" should be released in July, at the same time as Guo Jingming's "Mystery".
Shen Haobo knew that Shen Xudong had no idea to write a new one for the time being, so he suggested that he write a few essays and take a few novellas to form a collection, just like "Collecting Records"...
Shen Xudong... Agreed!
Three novellas, there must be a martial arts, then "Embroidered Spring Knife"!
Then the other two chose "Donkey Gets Water" and "Assassin".
The three novellas are very simple to write, after all, there are pictures!
Now I'm writing essays, "A Cat Called Soybean", "The Story Grandma Says"...
I'm afraid two articles are not enough, I have to write something, but it's already late at night.
……
Zhang Guoli is reading the script of "Crazy Stone", the script is the writing of multi-line narrative, shot one, shot two or something...
He didn't quite understand how to write it...
But I saw the fourth scene, that is, Bao Shihong and San Bao were opening bread and smashed the glass by a can falling from the sky, and the two got out of the car and scolded, but they didn't know that the car had slowly slid away...
He had a feeling of sudden realization!
The previous fragmented plot is all for this combination of shots...
Read on...
This time he watched it more carefully, and after reading the script, he kind of understood why Shen Xudong had to invest in this movie!
It's so much fun!
Martial arts films, horror films, police films, science fiction films, all genre films have certain routines, some of his fixed skills or patterns, and they can be regarded as a kind of proposition composition, following some of these routines and techniques, which is the normal operation of film creation.
But "Crazy Stone" is different, this book is too unique!
The bald boss who wants to occupy the land of the handicraft factory, the professional thief from Hong Kong, the confident and nervous security chief of the Luohan Temple, the son of the three sensitive and daring thieves and the director of the handicraft factory, form an intricate contradictory relationship with each other.
There is a feeling of amazement!
Don't blame him for making a fuss, in fact, many veteran directors don't know about multi-line narratives...
What is the narrative of Chinese films at this stage?
Even some of the Chinese directors of Taishan Beidou can't even tell the story clearly, and the story structure is seriously flawed...
But... He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to play Bao Shihong - there are a lot of running scenes in this role, Zhang Guoli is 50 years old this year!
I really can't stand this version of the toss...
Can you change it a little bit?
……
"Uncle Zhang, this script is really hard to change, you see, Bao Shihong's identity is the captain of the security guard, around 35 years old..."
“… It's really hard to change..."
After meeting, Zhang Guoli raised this question, Shen Xudong didn't think about it, and directly refused, and Ning Hao also said that the script was not easy to change...
In fact, Ning Hao has changed his annoyance!
At first, "Stone" was called "Big Diamond", but later, the cost shrunk from 5 million to 1.5 million, and the diamond could only be changed to stone...
- The diamond was stolen at least a jewelry exhibition or something, and the scene props had to be upgraded and changed to "Stone". Find a tattered cultural center and you can shoot it!
"That's okay, it's really inappropriate for me to play such a role as an old bone..."
"I really ignored my uncle's age, you really don't fit..."
Zhang Guoli smiled: "You can think of me, it means that you have me in mind... In this way, I recommend you an actor... How is Sun Honglei? ”
"Sun Honglei has already agreed to play Brother Dao!" Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "If Uncle Zhang doesn't act, then let's find Teacher Jiang Wu!" ”
“… It's a pity, I still want to have a show with Daoming! ”
"Uncle came over to make a cameo appearance as the factory director, the factory director and Chen Dong have a lot of rivalry!"
Zhang Guoli nodded: "It's okay, but I can only spare five days..."
Shen Xudong looked at Ning Hao: "Is it enough?" ”
"Ahem... It's like this" Ning Hao said embarrassedly: "... Teacher Xu Zheng took the initiative to ask Ying to play Hong Dong"
"Xu Zheng?"
Ning Hao explained: "I originally wanted to invite Tao Hong to play Bao Shihong's wife, and sent an email, and then Mr. Xu Zheng seemed to share an email with Mr. Tao Hong, he read the script and expressed his willingness to act for free..."
Hearing him say this, after a while, Shen Xudong nodded: "This is a vision!" ”
Xu Zheng does have a vision, he understands drama, but he doesn't know why he produced and supervised "My Heart is Flying"...
Well, when the project was established, it was a sports-themed movie, and it fit the main theme, it was an absolute hit, but unfortunately, the starring Monsanto branch '456' incident broke out...
In fact, this kind of scandal is not a thing, and the official has no time to ban it, who makes her not have a father of a big director.
Mainly, the movie is really ugly!
Pulling it back, Zhang Guoli hurriedly asked: "... What about the guide? ”
"Mr. Chen is filming "Shajiabang", and he can't leave... I'll just tell him not to come! ”
Ning Hao was a little nervous: "Will there be a bad impact?" ”
"What's the matter, Uncle Chen was here to help... I'll call and say! ”
As he spoke, Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone, dialed Chen Daoming's assistant's phone, briefly explained the situation, asked him to tell Mr. Chen Daoming, and then hung up the phone.
"Alright..."
Putting away the mobile phone, the waiter came in and changed a pot of tea, Shen Xudong suddenly thought of something: "Uncle Zhang, didn't you say that you wanted to introduce someone to me?" ”
Zhang Guoli nodded, stretched out his wrist and looked at it: "... It's almost there, why hasn't it come yet? ”
"Who?"
Zhang Guoli didn't answer, but said: "I am BJ who broke through in 88, and I acted in "The Stubborn Master" in 89 and gradually gained a foothold in BJ, do you know "The Stubborn Master"? ”
"Of course!"
"The Stubborn Master", starring Zhang Guoli, Ge You, Liang Tian, Pan Hong, prequel to "Party A and Party B"... tells the story of Yu Guan, Yang Chong and Ma Qing, three unemployed young people, who opened a "three-T company" in BJ, specializing in solving problems, relieving boredom, and suffering.
"You know the screenwriter of "The Stubborn Master", right?"
Having said that, Shen Xudong still doesn't understand who is coming... Wang Shuo!
