There is a question, can actors distinguish the level of directors and screenwriters?

Actually, it's quite hard...

The so-called quality of the director and screenwriter, you can only see from his past works.

Zhang Yi and Director Chen asked you to film, would you refuse?

Then do you know whether the final product is "Farewell My Concubine" or "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"?

Is it "Alive" or "Three-Gun Surprise"?

You certainly don't know!

Determine whether a play is a good drama through the script... It's so hard!

The original script of "The Terminator" was four pages, and the core was one sentence: a robot beat up one of the big fools that Lao Tzu hated the most!

Therefore, the copyright of the "Terminator" series is extremely confusing, because the reaction of the big studios when they see the script is "This TM is also called a script?" Our dogs can write a script that is stronger than this kind of story"...

At the beginning, there were three religions and nine streams who invested money in movies, but there were few serious people!

It also shows how bad Cameron's script is...

However, Cameron is really a genius director, and he is stunned to create a final effect that exceeds the perception of the times with a garbage lineup and a B-level foundation.

Of course, the book of "The Tuner", as long as you watch it, you know that this is a good movie!

Except for the protagonist's girlfriend, everyone is evil...

The cast is also very strong, the villain Simi is played by Gong Li - it was originally set to be Hui Yinghong, Gong Li likes this role and wants to challenge it, so she will play it!

The supporting cast includes Ren Dahua, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Zhilin...

The original positioning was a Hong Kong-made co-production.

Now the actor is replaced by Huang Bo...

Actually, it's not very suitable, so let's Deng Chao...

pulled back, Andy Lau was ready to contact Shen Xudong, thinking about easing the relationship.

It's a pity that after Shen Xudong arrived in Hong Kong, he was so busy that he couldn't squeeze out time...

Even if he had time, he probably didn't want to meet Andy Lau.

……

Shen Xudong is drinking tea with Wrinkle Wenhuai...

first talked about Golden Harvest's entry into the mainland - in 2000, Golden Harvest Film and Television held a huge "Star of the Century" competition in Shanghai...

The final winner was Ms. Han, after winning the award, Ms. Han also signed a contract with Golden Harvest, starred in the movie "Romantic Cherry Blossoms" while the iron was hot, and made a TV series "North and South Family" by the way.

Anyone who has seen it knows that behind these works are famous directors and famous actors, if they are not popular, they can't do it!

Fu Wenhuai obviously had some impressions of Ms. Han, but he didn't say anything, just said: "The mainland form is too complicated, so let's focus on Shenzhen... Start building a cinema..."

Shen Xudong suddenly realized: "... No wonder the matter of the female number one in "Hurricane Rescue", Golden Harvest directly agreed, this is experience! ”

"Haha..."

Then, Fu Wenhuai took the initiative to talk about the sequel to "Zhao Zilong".

The old man founded Golden Harvest at the age of 33, first in the ring with Shaw Brothers, and then met the new wave, New Art City, Debao and later Yongsheng...

The wind and waves have rolled all my life, and I have encountered any wind and waves.

Shen Xudong said that he was going to find Andy Lau again, and by the way, he took Huang Feihong as an example...

Fu Wenhuai shook his head: "I don't approve of looking for Andy Lau again!" ”

"Why?"

Fu Wenhuai: "When we filmed the fourth part of Huang Feihong, Li Lian was reluctant to shoot it, so we found a newcomer from Malaysia..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment: ""The Wind of the King"? New to Malaysia? ”

"yes, he was replaced... found Zhao Wenzhuo. ”

At that time, the behind-the-scenes lineup of "The Wind of the King" was still very strong, Zou Wenhuai personally produced, Wu Siyuan was the producer, and the director Yuan Kui...

The box office is not very good, and Hong Kong is only 11.19 million Hong Kong dollars...

"However, the distribution in Taiwan and Southeast Asia is selling well and is still profitable..."

"But I heard that the fifth part lost a lot?"

“… Oh, yes! ”

The fifth "Wong Fei Hung: Dragon City Annihilation", Xu Ke directly directed it, but the box office was only 4.9 million, not even half of "The Wind of the King"...

The plot collapsed - dragged Zhang Baozai out who was hiding in the coffin and fought with Huang Feihong, the story is not only entertaining and mileless, but even the action design is not good-looking!

The martial arts instructor was replaced by Yuan Bin.

In addition, Xu Ke habitually carries private goods, 'It's settled, I'm going to immigrate, I don't want to stay in Hong Kong...'

You must talk about some current affairs into your own films, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable.

The series is shot to death!

In the sixth part, it was replaced by Yongsheng Investment, with a Hong Kong box office of 30.2 million Hong Kong dollars and a global box office of 7.2 million US dollars, but the North American video revenue was as high as 22 million US dollars!

The King of Discs...

Shen Xudong said: "So, some movies still eat actors!" ”

Fu Wenhuai poured him a cup of tea, and then shook his head: "What about eating actors?" Could it be that without Andy Lau, there will be no way to film "Zhao Zilong"? It's okay to cooperate, but you can't be manipulated! ”

"So, your opinion is to replace him?"

"Yes... The dignity of the filmmaker, if it is like Andy Lau, what will you do? ”

Shen Xudong hesitated: "But I have a good relationship with him..."

"The relationship is good, he also filmed "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor"... Gone with Li Rengang? ”

“… You have a point. ”

Shen Xudong nodded, and then asked, "Who do you think can replace Andy Lau?" ”

"Zheng Yinjian, Gu Tianle can do it..."

“… Forget it, I don't dare to use Zheng Yin noodles! ”

Back then, Zheng Yinmian was also popular all over Asia, and "Crazy Boy" influenced an entire generation!

"Fengyun" was the Hong Kong box office champion in 98, and "Chinese Hero" was third in the Hong Kong box office list in 99, second only to Xing Ye's "The King of Comedy" and Jackie Chan's "Glass Bottle", and in the same year, he also had a "Chariot of Fire 2 Legend of Speed" ranked seventh in the box office.

When he was the most popular, Zheng Yinmian was known as the fifth heavenly king, and he was the most promising person to carry Hong Kong movies, but it was a pity that this superstar didn't put his mind on movies...

After "The Legend of Shushan", the movies starring Zheng Yinmian "Nine Dragons Ice Room", "My Wife Doesn't Have Enough Scales", "Dark War 2", "When a Man Becomes a Woman" and so on, the box office is more miserable than the other...

Shen Xudong didn't dare to bet!

As for Louis Koo...

The image does not match!

Fu Wenhuai suggested: "You can use mainland actors... You mainland don't have a lot of students who graduated from professional colleges and universities, and there are no suitable ones? ”

“… Well, I've got it in my mind! ”

I really know in my heart, I can use Nie Yuan...

"New Three Kingdoms" has a bunch of problems, but Nie Yuan's version of Zhao Yun is really good from image to acting skills, from martial arts to literary drama, from character understanding to shaping!

is so outstanding, don't go to the 'scourge' of "New Three Kingdoms", and act directly in the movie...

Fu Wenhuai glanced at Shen Xudong, and then asked, "Do you need me to do anything?" ”

“… If you don't need it, I can do it myself. ”

……

Company, Shen Xudong told Liang Fengying and Zhong Lifang what Fu Wenhuai meant.

"I think Mr. Fu is right, we can't get used to being actors..."

Zhong Lifang studied finance and understands risk management very well, and the question she is concerned about is: "The question is, what about funds?" Without Andy Lau joining, I'm worried that the copyright in other cities will not sell well! ”

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "... It's okay, didn't we raise 1 billion funds, and count the "Three Kingdoms" series in the private equity fund..."

He had already thought of a countermeasure.

1 billion private equity funds, a total of 12 films, including "Hurricane Rescue 2", "Ip Man" and other works controlled by Golden Harvest, in addition, "Fault in the Stars", "Happy Death Day", "Ghost Record" have been invested...

plus the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", which is also normal.

"Andy Lau said a minimum of 15 million Hong Kong dollars... So I turned him down? ”

"Say no..."

Liang Fengying nodded, and then asked, "Who did you find to replace Andy Lau?" ”

"Nie Yuan... You can see why I chose him if you look at his makeup photos..."

"You're the boss, you have the final say..."

Liang Fengying is a Hong Kong filmmaker, although she joined Golden Harvest, some concepts cannot be changed overnight, for example, she does not have unconditional trust in Shen Xudong like Gao Fenfen...

Shen Xudong didn't care, turned around and was about to leave, Zhong Lifang suddenly remembered something: "Shen Dong... Tomorrow's Academy Awards, are you going? ”

"I'm definitely going to... How many nominations did our company get? ”
