Chapter 50: The Afterglow of the Old Times!

Isn't this stepping on a horse an in-person NTR?

Shen Xudong glanced at Wang Shuo...

The latter had a normal complexion, even with some smiles.

Shen Xudong is very strange about the relationship between Wang Shuo and Xu Cairen...

But when I think about it, I am relieved!

You see, Xu Cairen first "composed love songs" with Wang Shuo, and then with musician Sanbao, and continued to linger with Wang Shuo after the end of the Sanbao;

Then he had a hot fight with Huang Jiao and Zhang Lidong...

Wang Shuo estimated that he was used to it!

is quite capable, she and every boyfriend get together and disperse, and then mention that she always says good things about each other, with a smile, grateful to meet.

In fact, from a man's point of view, a pure female star who flaunts a talented woman is actually unrestrained and unentangled, which must be very attractive.

Regarding "Wounded City", Shen Xudong explained: "Media Asia cooperated with us, and "Wounded City" was also asked to produce it together at the beginning! ”

"You also have an investment?"

“… I don't know the specifics..."

"Wounded City", the company should have also invested a little, but only a little, because the cost of this film is too high!

Not to mention the actors, the salary of the main creators behind the scenes alone is as high as 10 million!

With the popularity of the "Infernal Affairs" series, the trio composed of Liu Weiqiang, Mak Zhaohui, and Zhuang Wenqiang, the salary has also risen, and if the three of them cooperate in the future, it will occupy a large part of the capital invested in the film, so the three decided to develop separately.

And "Wounded City" is their last collaboration.

Because I was about to say goodbye, I wanted to do a lot of things. Everyone wants to make this work a success and a great success.

Therefore, "Wounded City" is a movie full of countless ideas, and there are so many things to express.

The problem is also here, a movie is two hours at most, and it can't fit so many things - I want literature and art, I want suspense, and I want to win awards, which leads to the obscurity of the whole movie!

This should be the biggest reason why the box office failed to break 100 million...

Well, Xu Cairen is the heroine of "Wounded City", including the blockbuster "Casting a Name" after Media Asia, Xu Cairen is also the heroine!

Zhang Guoli spoke: "Now it's called a co-production..."

Wang Shuo interjected: "I'm just annoying those Hong Kong people..."Infernal Affairs 3", what is the name of the director's performance! As soon as he appeared, I was very twisted, and I didn't fit in with the people around me, ouch, I really wanted to pull him out with one hand! ”

"Isn't the context and cultural atmosphere different, mainland actors are not accustomed to the soil and water when they come to Hong Kong..."

"The current situation is clearly taking advantage of people, if it is their movie, let's play a supporting role in the past, it is reasonable. But this is a co-production, let's also contribute money and efforts, you said that actors like Daoming are all supporting roles for them in it..."

A little embarrassed, Zhang Guoli hesitated: "That person is the director, and the audience also recognizes them..."

Shen Xudong explained: "In fact, in the original script of "Infernal Affairs 3", Mr. Chen's role is still quite important, because the original script revolved around the death of Chen Yongren and the collapse of Han Yan's gang, but later it was changed to find a police undercover, so Mr. Chen's role is redundant!" ”

"Then why didn't Daoming refuse to act?"

“… Mr. Chen himself said that he wanted to work with the Hong Kong team..."

……

Stop this topic, Wang Shuo has always felt that he is the center, and he can't look down on Hong Kong and Taiwan culture...

summarized the four major customs back then: the Four Heavenly Kings, Chenglong Movie, Qiong Yao TV Series and Jin Yong, which can be said to be the four major customs...

"I Look at Jin Yong" wrote, 'We have something of our own, New Era Literature, Rock, generations of teachers and students of BJ Film Academy and ten years of creation at BJ Television Art Center. Now they have all shrunk, and it can be said that they have completely fallen in terms of popular taste! ’

So, it's understandable that he doesn't like co-productions.

Zhang Guoli spoke: "I heard that you made a spy war movie with the Beishi Center? ”

"Well..."Secret Calculation", the original work of Mr. Mai Jia... And the script was already written when it was published, so we bought it and changed it, and we just shot it! ”

"How did you come up with the idea of doing spy warfare?"

Xu Cairen also interjected: "Now it is difficult to recover the cost of investing in spy war dramas!" ”

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, actually... Before "Secret Calculation", spy war dramas were more called "anti-special dramas", mainly describing the anti-espionage work of the public security department in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Gunshots of the Secret Bureau", "Plum Blossom Files" and the like...

The story is of course good, but the biggest problem is that the plot is relatively flat, there are fewer means for both sides of the enemy, and there is no suspense!

And... At this stage, everyone is very resistant to the main theme, and the core content of the anti-special drama is anti-special, so the main theme must be eulogized...

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong replied: "The most interesting thing about spy war dramas is actually to find out the ghosts, as well as to pass on the news, how to spread the news in the eyes of the enemy, this has its own suspense!" ”

"Inside the ghost? Just like Hong Kong movies? ”

"Yes... There is also Morse code, code name so-and-so plan, joint code and black words, etc., I read the book of "Secret Calculation", and for the first time I felt the dry goods of the industry that disc war dramas should have. ”

"What is the Morse Code?"

Shen Xudong casually explained: "A kind of contact information, which was originally used to send telegrams... Later, it was used to convey confidential messages, such as the speed of finger clicks, the number represented by the rhythm, and then corresponded to the parent book, and a sentence could be accurately deciphered! ”

"That's... Are you optimistic about "Secret Calculation"? ”

"It's okay, I mainly want to rely on the Beishi Center to open up the sales of this theme, and then we have prepared several spy war dramas!"

Zhang Guoli instantly realized: "It's like "Golden Branch Desire"? ”

"Hmm..."

"What's going on?"

""The Golden Branch" set off a wave of harem palace fighting themes, and then they made "Beauty Scheming", and I heard that they earned tens of millions..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "The investor of "Beauty Scheming" is not us, but the subsequent "The Legend of Rujue" is our investment..."

Xu Cairen was curious: "TV series? ”

"Hmm!"

She pouted and didn't speak...

Shen Xudong didn't bother to say anything, the film and television industry despises chains - movies are noble!

……

After that, Wang Shuo also talked about some American life, but Shen Xudong was not interested, but just listened quietly.

The afterglow of the old days...

At about ten o'clock, the dinner was over, and Zhang Guoli called the car to send them off.

Xu Cairen asked Shen Xudong: "Have you drunk too much?" ”

“… It's okay, go back and get some sleep! ”

"Then you give me your contact information..."

"Good!"

Shen Xudong nodded, took out his mobile phone, and wrote down her number.

"Do you have an itinerary next?"

“… I'm going to Chongqing..."

"What are you doing in Chongqing?"

Shen Xudong pulled Ning Hao over: "He makes movies, and I'll be the producer!" ”

Xu Cairen asked curiously: "What movie?" Want to help? ”

Ning Hao didn't speak, and Shen Xudong answered for him: "No, low-cost comedy..."

"Then if you are free, call me, I will have time at any time!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "... Good! ”

The car came, Shen Xudong and Ning Hao got in the car...

Ning Hao didn't talk much all night, not deliberately pretending to be deep, he really didn't know what to say.

"Let's go on the weekend, are you still short of actors?"

"Ahh

"Ask you if there is a shortage of actors in "Stone"?"

Ning Hao nodded: "There is still a lack of four eyes." ”

“… I'll help you ask Teacher Feng Yuanzheng if he has time..."

Feng Yuanzheng?

Ning Hao immediately thought of An Jiahe and scratched his head: "Feng Yuanzheng... Is it appropriate? ”

"Just put on your glasses..."
