Well, it's normal to ask about Shen Xudong, in the past two years, Feng Xiaogang's movies "Orphaned", "Party A and Party B 2", "No Thieves in the World", including the later "Mobile Phone 2", the screenwriter is Shen Xudong.

Why did "Night Banquet" change the screenwriter?

Shen Xudong smiled and explained: "The main reason why I didn't accept it was because I wasn't interested in court dramas... I haven't studied Shakespeare either..."

"Why?"

"What, why? When I was in school, I mainly studied Gogol's drama... I haven't studied Shakespeare much..."

"Then what do you think of "Night Banquet"?"

Hemp egg, here it is again...

What do you think?

I can't read it, but I'm blown away?

How could "Night Banquet" not be understood, it is the prince's revenge and egg love...

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "It's worthy of a blockbuster, and the vision is very enjoyable, regardless of costumes, makeup or actors."

Red, black and white are very good. Black is the majesty of the royal family, the suppression and loneliness of human desires in the court, the cruelty and horror of the later army massacres, and the despicability of people's hearts; White is idealistic and simple; Red is love, gorgeous, lust and jealousy.

The actors performed very well, Sister Ziyi played the queen's desire for power, Uncle Ge played the greed, pathology, and terrible of his uncle, Zhou Xun's naivety, and Wu Yanzu's timidity, all of which were good, but the lines and dialogues were a little sloppy, which made people can't help but play..."

Of course, Shen Xudong wants to give praise...

He's here to cheer, do you want to tell the truth, 'Hypocritical to death?' ''All kinds of violations'...

The media was obviously not satisfied, and wanted to ask: "Then what do you think of Chinese-style blockbusters..."

"I won't talk about it, this is the premiere scene of "Night Banquet"..."

……

At the end of the premiere, Shen Xudong and Chen Daoming left together.

The topic of discussion was naturally "Night Banquet"...

Shen Xudong told the truth: "I don't like it very much, I feel a little bit of art for art's sake, ignoring the story itself!" It's so depressing..."

It's not just that he doesn't like it, Shen Xudong really thinks that "Night Banquet" is very bad, and he uses Western stories to set Chinese backgrounds.

The rhythm drags, the plot is empty, boring to the extreme, and the example of the obscene emperor plowing the land with a golden hoe...

Chen Daoming nodded: "Xiaogang is a little bit of a bull's horn... Go in a deep direction with all your might..."

"You're so right!"

Feng Xiaogang is desperate to get rid of the name of entertainment director...

In the world of criticism, entertainment means not being deep enough, and not being deep enough is not being advanced.

Chen Daoming changed the topic: "Don't talk about "Night Banquet", what are the new works recently?" ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "... Not really... I've been in the U.S. lately. ”

"Ready to go to Hollywood to develop?"

"What am I going to do there..."Shen Xudong denied: "There are a few projects in my main hands, which are not suitable for making Chinese films..."

"There's a suitable script..."

"Don't worry, I'll be looking for you!"

Chen Daoming patted him on the shoulder, and then stopped talking...

Shen Xudong was wondering if there was a work suitable for Chen Daoming?

You see, Chen Daoming is suitable for playing emperors and intellectuals...

Intelligentsia?

"Donkey Gets Water"?

"Donkey Gets Water" is not good, there is no role suitable for him at all, then..."Rise to Fame"?

Li Jiahui, the actor of "Rise to Fame", he is quite suitable... Then pull Uncle Ge to play Guan Jingnian, Jiang Wen or Li Xuejian to play Lu Ziye... Bad movie director Zheng Qianli is looking for Zhang Guoli... No, Zhang Guoli is not suitable, Chen Baoguo... Anyway, he has to be a first-line actor!

I grass...

This is going to be sent!

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Chen Daoming: "Uncle Chen, I have an idea..."

Shen Xudong said the synopsis of the script of "Rise to Fame": During the Republic of China, a group of aspiring filmmakers were gathering at a bizarre script meeting, wanting to make "a shocking eucalyptus" into a movie.

In order to inspire their creation, they actually shared a room with the murderer who had been caught, in order to restore the eucalyptus at the scene of the murder by the murderer himself...

"Of course, as the plot progresses, everyone knows that this murder is not simple...", however, when he said this, Shen Xudong shut up: "No, that reporter has to be in his thirties and full of blood..."

Chen Daoming disagreed: "... You have written the script, I will see if there is a suitable role for me, I tell you, there is no need to force me to be the protagonist, the film market still depends on young people after all..."

"Cheng, then I'll go back and study it again..."

……

"Night Banquet" was released, with a box office of 55 million in the first weekend...

did not surpass the first-weekend box office record of 62 million for "Hero", 64 million for "Kung Fu" and 74.52 million for "Wuji", and also lagged behind the 78 million in the first week of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

It turns out that the audience's desire for blockbusters has decreased!

However, how can "Night Banquet" break 100 million...

It is also in line with the positioning of the blockbuster.

But... Feng Xiaogang has long been a member of the 100 million yuan box office club, and the movie "Night Banquet" has no effect on him at all...

No, at least the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film ...

There's no doubt about that.

It stands to reason that Zhang Ziyi should feel quite embarrassed, "Night Banquet", Hua Yi and Weinstein are the threads she pulls, and now Harvey is a scoundrel, and the promised $5 million has become 500,000...

Huang Zhongjun approached her privately and asked her if it was possible for her boyfriend to come out on top, her boyfriend, Ivy Nivo, is said to be the largest individual shareholder of Time Warner and has a huge stake in Weinstein...

No play!

This Aviniwo is a liar at all!

Of course, his connections are indeed very extensive, and the international chapter caught up with him, and then successfully broke into the upper social circle of the United States...

The original time and space, probably because of this incident, caused Zhang Ziyi and Huayi brothers to never find Zhang Ziyi again, and later starred in "Ben Love" for free in exchange for "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic".

Now that the international chapter is gaining momentum, it doesn't matter, anyway, she has a lot of plays!

At the Cannes Film Festival, it was announced that Zhang Ziyi and Weinstein Pictures had negotiated a contract to act in three films, including a remake of Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", "Mulan" and "Shanghai"...

Not only that, but the public projects include "Desert Samurai", "Waiting", "Empress"...

- Now you can still find the press release on the Internet: Zhang Ziyi and Hollywood's Weinstein Pictures will cooperate in three films that will be announced one after another, and the American media even broke out that she will cooperate with the director of "Gladiator" to shoot "The Empress", and she will personally act as a producer in addition to playing Wu Zetian...

People are busy earning American knives!

So, "Exquisite Ancient City", her agent offered $8 million...

8 million US dollars, that is, 60 million yuan, stepping on a horse, this... Make it clear that you refuse!

……

company, Chen Xi found Shen Xudong and said very decisively: "Change an actress..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "... How do you change this? Who to replace? Didn't you say that Zhang Ziyi was good? ”

"The price is not negotiated..."

"$4 million won't do?"

"No, the agent said at least $8 million!"

"How much?"

Shen Xudong stood up directly - $8 million? Why don't you grab it? The salary of "Night Banquet" is only $3.5 million! gave her $4 million, Shen Xudong felt that he was already very sincere.

And she agreed to star, so she almost signed a contract, why is this happening now?

Chen Xi repeated: "$8 million, no box office share!" ”

“… Have you personally talked to Zhang Ziyi about the project "Exquisite Ancient City"? ”

"I don't connect directly with the actors, besides, Zhang Ziyi is so busy, I don't have a chance to meet her."

"What about Xu Ke? No, didn't we say $4 million? ”

"I heard that she took on a Hollywood movie, and the time conflicted, so..."

It's understandable...

I can't look down on "Exquisite Ancient City"!

Say it earlier!

"If Zhang Ziyi doesn't act, will there be problems with investment? A lot of investors are coming for her! ”

"If an investor wants to return the money, return it to them, and we will make up for it ourselves!" Shen Xudong glared at her: "... Let Chen Hao or Tang Yan try out. ”

What is this called, I have said before that Zhang Ziyi will star... Several press releases have been sent, and the start-up press conference is about to be held...

Did the heroine resign?

Alas, I have to talk to Xu Ke...
