Chapter 101: Idle Nonsense...

Zhao Linhai was a little worried about Shen Xudong's mental state...

After staying in a dormitory for three or four years, he knew that Shen Xudong was full of money.

Whoever hinders him from making money is an opponent!

Now the situation is obvious: Media Asia, Meiya and China Star have teamed up to strangle Golden Harvest...

Well, the total investment of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" is 35 million US dollars, jointly produced by Media Asia, Meiya and China Star, and the mainland distribution is handed over to Bona...

The sequel is in vain, and the entire series suffers...

Golden Harvest's share price also fell.

Shen Xudong can't lose his judgment because of this...

"Commercial competition is normal, we have been so smooth in the past two years, and most of them are Hong Kong filmmakers, giving them the illusion that we won't make movies without them!"

Shen Xudong is quite open to this matter...

It's essentially a business competition!

Of course, if Shen Xudong's own fame reaches the level of reverberation, these people will definitely not be blind and tyrannical...

If China Film Han Shanping hosts the Three Kingdoms series...

China Film may not be useful, after all, it is not the future - it is 2007, and the mainland film market has been blowing out all the way since "Thai Embarrassment" in 2012, and the industry is slowly exploring the trends and preferences of the market and audiences...

Later, the creation of explosive models was almost at your fingertips.

And whether it is the main theme, comedy or bitterness, love or animation theme, it can be said to be handy, and it can be easily obtained.

Under this trend, the cards of Hong Kong filmmakers began to dissolve little by little...

Even Liang Chaowei only has old and new functions left...

Five years to go!

""People in Embarrassment" can be made into a road comedy, "20 Years Old Again" is a fantasy comedy, and the big movie "Wulin Gaiden" belongs to the theatrical version of the hit drama... I promised Director Hun Sen that I would do comedy this year..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong asked rhetorically: "If you receive any good scripts, you can also put them forward." ”

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "There are many types of plots, and there are no eye-catching works..."

"Is there a comedy?"

“… Yes... But it's all too stupid..."After thinking about it, Zhao Linhai said: "It's good to have a "Second in the World"..."

"The Second in the World"...

Shen Xudong has a little impression, dialect comedy, starring Mr. Wang Jinsong (pull out the monkey skin band of your pants and make a slingshot to smash your glass) The one...

This movie also has "The Record of the Sword in the Rivers and Lakes", "Ten Perfect", and "Love Call Transfer", all of which are very impressive.

But the Douban score is not high...

- In those years, everyone's evaluation of the movie was more meaningful!

"The Second in the World" has a meaning of holding hair...

"Yes, you think it's good, then do it, the cost is not high, right?"

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "It's a work of a youth film studio, and they want us to help distribute it..."

"The work of the North Shadow?"

"Hmm..."

Tianmei Media is naturally close to Chinese opera - several high-level executives are from Chinese opera...

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "If it's really good, let's help distribute it..."

"Good!"

Youth Film Studio is a film production organization affiliated with BJ Film Academy...

There is also a Chinese opera, called the Central Academy of Drama Film and Television Production Center...

But Beiying is a professional film college, so from the day of its birth, there are three or four feature films every year...

When Chen Peisi made a movie, he bought a quota from the Youth Film Studio!

Later, it became an institution for school leaders to praise the junior - "A Paper Marriage Contract", the director is the dean of Nortel, and the starring role is the wife of the post-90s.

The dean really has a lot of energy, and for the sake of his little wife, he used a state-owned film studio to tailor a marriage contract for him, and also brought in a bunch of big names as supporting roles.

It's a pity that the director's professional level is too poor, and the film made is so bad that it explodes, and in the end it ended dismally at the box office.

However, it doesn't matter, the little wife was crowned the queen of the Italian Chinese Film Festival, and after checking it, this Italian Chinese Film Festival is also hosted by the BJ Film Academy!

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, a group of people were in Shen Xudong's courtyard...

Well, it's actually the three people in the dormitory who came over for a barbecue.

Said to be congratulations on his return to China with honors - the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay!

"The biggest change should be the price of scripts, right? How much do you charge for writing a script now? ”

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "... I don't know, it's been a long time since I've only charged for scripts..."

"Xudong itself is an investor and producer... It's impossible to just charge for the script! ”

"And what if you only charge for the script?"

A group of people looked at Shen Xudong, who pondered: "There should be $2 million... In fact, mainstream screenwriters in Hollywood have the following three characteristics, namely men, whites and Jews..."

"Huh?"

"No, it's true!"

Shen Xudong continued: "Also, Hollywood screenwriters obtain commercial benefits according to the business model. For example, if you write a book, and a company thinks your book is not good, but the design of the story is interesting, they will pay you to buy your idea, and they will find someone else to rewrite the script. Even if the book that comes out in the end is not the same thing as the one you had at the beginning, the money given to you will not be returned. In this way, only a few star screenwriters need to be raised, and a large number of ideas are constantly flowing..."

Zhao Linhai interjected: "That's right, I used to watch "Tell the Truth", and there was a story like "Soul Catcher"..."

"Well, China is big, there are many stories, and we are no worse than them ..."

"Well said, come on, cheers!"

A few people raised their glasses - the beer they drank...

Everyone is an insider, and the conversation is naturally a circle.

Of course, let's talk about Wang Shuo first - his new book "My Thousand Years of Cold", the publicity is a bit too much, all kinds of jumping up and down, catching who sprays whom...

Scolding Yu Hua, Jia Pingwa, Yu Qiuyu...

Anyway, everything that can be offended is offended, and by the way, he brags about himself - 'What is the "Book of Songs", only the "Tao Te Ching" can be compared'...

In fact, in 99, "It Looks Beautiful" sold 400,000 copies, and he was already out of breath, and the reason why he was blowing everywhere this time was nothing more than to sell books!

"My Chitose Cold" sold even worse, selling less than 200,000 a month...

"Occasional successes make him linger on the lost path..."

"The times have abandoned him..."

"I don't think what he writes is so alive..."

Shen Xudong had different opinions, and a group of people discussed for a long time before he said: "Actually, a writer's creative ability is similar to that of a man, and he is the most erect when he is 18 or 20 years old. Reaching his peak in his 30s, his energy has not declined too much, and his skills have reached proficiency;

After the age of 40, the creativity declines sharply, and the year is not as good as the year, and the heart is weak, and the strength is inadequate...

In fact, the death of a great writer at the age of 50 does not affect his position in the history of literature... By the way, Tolstoy's kind of genius who can write a large number of books in his 70s is a rare genius! ”

"What about Wang Shuo?"

"Don't worry, there is a kind of man, his physical strength is good, his skills are familiar, and his hardness is enough, but he is too easy to get excited mentally, so the time is very short... Wang Shuo is a typical creative and poor stamina, you see he wrote when he was young, golden sentences are stacked, but the book is unfinished, he has no patience to manage a good one, patience is also an ability, of course, you can delay by taking medicine, but it is not natural... I couldn't do it when I was young, and now I'm old, and even worse! ”

Zhao Linhai concluded: "Don't say it so bluntly... In fact, there is a peak in the creation of this thing, there are highs and lows, writing requires strength, most of the really powerful works are completed in the prime of the writer, and very few people can create the pinnacle of work in their later years... The writer is over 40 years old, and it is normal for one to be inferior to the other! ”
