Chapter Seventy-Nine: Divine Drama
Since Shen Xudong announced the idea of wanting to support films, many filmmakers with ideas have come with projects.
Most filmmakers also know in their hearts that the official wants to follow the example of Laiwu and take the road of commercial films...
Of course, most of the scripts received were independent films.
Shen Xudong doesn't care, he welcomes good stories.
Even if you can't do it yourself, you will help pull the strings, such as "The Teeth of Love", "The Ears are Blessed", "The Piano of Steel", "Bitter Bamboo Forest" and the like.
Introduced to China Film, Shijiu Culture, Zhongsheng Spring and Autumn Film and Television Culture, Taihe People...
"Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" is naturally among them.
"Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" is a good road movie, and Zhang Yang filmed it well...
Of course, this film did not return to its original cost - mainly because of the poor publicity and schedule selection!
How can it be released in the Chinese New Year?
And it's in the same schedule as "007: Casino Royale" and "Disciple"...
That... Who watches Zhao Benshan?
By the way, the script I received was simply bizarre, there were all kinds of things, for example, "A Husband and Wife", the plot is that the wife learns that she has lung cancer, and after finding a new wife for her husband, she waits peacefully for death; There is also a memorable "Two and a Half": In a county in Henan, Xiao Jiao was kicked by Mr. Lu in a black ring competition. He was instigated by Yang Shengli to take revenge. One of Mr. Lu's testicles was smashed by his girlfriend. Xiao Jiao's subordinates continued to calculate Teacher Lu's high pills, but they castrated Yang Shengli by mistake...
This kind of script gave Shen Xudong a headache, so he simply let Zhao Linhai, Liao Gaoxiang, and Zhao Xin join the review department, and they passed them in the first round, they thought it was good, and then recommended it to Shen Xudong...
Shen Xudong continued: "Even if there is Zhao Benshan, it is quite difficult to get back to the capital... After all, this theme is not easy to organize, so we pulled a company called Xinghao to do it together..."
Andy Lau interjected: "Xinghao? ”
"A Hong Kong company wants to enter the mainland and has money..."
"Is it Wang Haifeng's company?"
"You know?"
"He previously tried to buy the Gold Medal Gale ... It didn't work out, but it's still very famous in the circle! ”
“… Cork high gold medal gale? ”
"Yes!"
Shen Xudong's expression changed slightly: "... He was dug up by me and taken to Golden Harvest... Responsible for film and television production! ”
Andy Lau was surprised: "He has been making music!" ”
"I dug him mainly because Wu Jing... He is Wu Jing's agent, and he also brought Fu Ying and Deng Lixin..."
"I know these two, it seems like a combination... What are cookies called? ”
Deng Lixin, Ye Nianchen directed the heroine of the love trilogy "Exclusive Trial of Love", "Very Love" and "My Favorite", among which the box office of "Very Love" and "My Favorite" exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new box office high for Hong Kong youth romance movies that year, and she is also the heroine of "I Still Think You Are the Best"!
Shen Xudong chatted with Andy Liu again, ignoring Zhang Zhiliang at all, who probably understood that Shen Xudong didn't look down on him at all.
Shut up.
……
Hotel, room.
Shen Xudong had just finished taking a shower, and Zeng Li knocked on the door and walked in.
Eyes met, no need to speak, Zeng Li squatted down and directly discussed art...
"You don't like Director Zhang?"
After the art exchange, Zeng Li reminisced for a moment, and then patted Shen Xudong, who was watching TV.
“… I don't like it, this person doesn't have any talent..."
"Oh..."
Zeng Li nodded, she didn't ask why she was still allowed to star in "Demon Attack" since she had no talent.
"Demon Attack" is a blockbuster, of course Shen Xudong can't watch it, but Zeng Li is an actor.
And is the kind of actor who is not very popular, "Demon Attack" is the highest-standard work she has performed so far.
"What are you looking at?"
"Snow Leopard... Haven't you seen it? I heard them talk about the explosion of this drama! The ratings have broken 4! ”
"I've been busy with the promotion of "Ink Attack" recently, so I didn't pay attention to it,"
Shen Xudong looked at Zeng Li, reached out and touched it, and then said, "You can also act in anti-Japanese war films..."
“… What are you touching there? ”
"Hidden thunder in the crotch..."
"What?"
“… During the Anti-Japanese War, Yinhua went to visit the old friend who was imprisoned and tortured by the devil, and the stick took out a grenade from Yinhua's crotch, and the two detonated the grenade and died..."
Shen Xudong explained the allusion...
Zeng Li was stunned when she heard this: "Really? Is there such a thing? ”
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not... You just say it's moved or not..."
Zeng Li pondered: "How to hide this?" ”
"How can I hide..."
Zeng Li slapped his hand and was speechless: "... I think it's ridiculous..."
"Haha..."Shen Xudong was happy: "I'll see if you can hide mines..."
"I'll have to go later..."
"It's okay, there's still two hours..."
……
"Snow Leopard", premiered on Mango Channel, and it exploded directly in the first round.
Shen Xudong wrote directly on his blog, 'Zhou Weiguo of "Snow Leopard", I created it according to the character of Li Yunlong + Zhao Gang... It's kind of following the trend of "Bright Sword"..."
"Bright Sword" is really a work that influenced the genre of anti-Japanese war dramas...
Before that, the Anti-Japanese War TV series were basically group portrait model dramas, and there were very few magnificent boutiques like "The Three Great Battles".
Many anti-Japanese war films are superficial, the characters are not three-dimensional, and the story is also a running account, "Bright Sword", for the first time, brings personal heroism to the screen, breaking the image of a soldier who is great and upright, with advantages and disadvantages, giving ruffians, flowing gas, and righteousness.
Although the service is collapsed, it can't stand up to the group portrait characters, and the script is created in a sense of substitution and realism, focusing on adding a sense of coolness, creating a miracle of anti-Japanese war ratings, with an audience rating of more than 13.7%, and it is rebroadcast more than every year.
The safest way to create in the film and television industry is to follow the trend.
"Golden Branch Desire" and "Beauty Scheming" are on fire, and a bunch of harem palace fight-themed dramas have been filmed, what "Qing Dynasty Harem", "Ming Concubine"...
After "Bright Sword", there was a blowout of anti-Japanese war films.
"Scarlet Rose", "Wolf Poison Flower", "March of the Broadsword", "Snow Wolf Valley"...
In fact, it's okay, everyone also has to have a face, at most go to the legendary road, and after "Anti-Japanese Heroes", they simply ignore it and shoot in a cool direction.
And it's the kind of brainless routine: the villain has a negative IQ, the protagonist team is possessed by the aura, and the level that can't be passed is forced to open regardless of logic.
Hand-torn devils, 800-meter rifle sniping, bullet turning.
It's called a divine drama...
Strictly speaking, "Snow Leopard" is also a divine drama, but it is not mythical enough, at most it can only be regarded as a cool drama!
But in 2006, when everyone was still pursuing a sense of history, it was very different...
Many media criticized it as 'not in line with history' and 'excessive pursuit of idol dramatization'...
But... You can't stand it, the original time and space, an authoritative organization investigated the number of TV series reruns after 2010, and "Snow Leopard" was replayed 437 times in ten years, even surpassing "Bright Sword"...
This time it's about the same, Mango Channel just finished broadcasting, and immediately a bunch of satellite TV came over to buy the second and third rounds of broadcasting rights...
