Shen Xudong won the adaptation rights of nineteen works, which is basically sweeping the list...

"Langya Bang", "Why Sheng Xiaomo", "Lonely Empty Garden" are all hits.

By the way, he also contacted Shen Haobo and asked him to sign a contract with Bandit I Sicun, Gu Man, Xin Yiwu, Tonghua...

In other words, in 2007, the adaptation rights of popular networks were only two or three hundred thousand!

But after 2012, it has risen tenfold in frenzy.

can basically reach one million, and even the single price of "Tomb Robbery Notes" has reached two million.

Nineteen works only cost the company less than 8 million...

Chen Xudong is very conscientious, he is not short of money, and he also wants to participate in the screenwriting of the original work...

The company is not afraid of capital breakdown, and directly opened three plays, "Step by Step", "Lonely Empty Garden" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo"...

Why don't you make Xinyiwu's work?

Because... Xinyiwu is all about the campus - we have a policy that doesn't allow puppy love on TV...

As for the actors...

"Step by Step" cooperated with Tang Ren, and it is estimated that the heroine is still Liu Shishi, but the male protagonist should be replaced by Qiao Zhenyu or Nie Yuan - Shen Xudong doesn't like Longliqi;

"Lonely Empty Garden" is a big abuse drama, for Zhang Hanyun, the actor uses Chen Xiao, and then matches Wang Kai...

"Why Sheng Xiaomo"... is the highlight of the company, Chen Hao plays the heroine, and the actor invites Zhong Hanliang!

pulled back, Shen Xudong continued: "In the future, the company may have to implement the producer studio system..."

"Producer's studio?"

"Contract the producer and delegate the production rights to the producer. Each producer's studio accounts independently, and the producer is the studio owner, and it can sign multiple directors. The producer has a high degree of business freedom, takes the script by himself, and forms a team to participate in the production. For different projects, the company gives investment under different conditions. ”

"Why do you do that?"

Shen Xudong explained: "The company wants to be platform... Unified management can no longer be carried out! ”

“… Why? ”

"This method is more scientific... Hollywood does just that. Shen Xudong waved his hand: "There is nothing to discuss about this, the company must be scientific and procedural if it wants to develop..."

"You're looking more and more like a boss now!"

“… Don't talk about this..."Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "By the way, let's go watch "Transformers" tomorrow..."

"Okay!"

"I want to see a live-action version of Transformers too!"

……

In 1988, the "Transformers" animation wanted to enter the Chinese market after becoming popular in the United States, so Hasbro confidently went to talk to CCTV, but was rejected by CCTV because there were more violent elements, which was not conducive to shaping screen culture, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

And then what?

Hasbro went to Shanghai TV and said: I will send you to broadcast for free!

It's to sell toys anyway!

Then Shanghai TV got 95 episodes of "Transformers G1", one episode was broadcast every Saturday, and a month later, that is, after four episodes, in shopping malls in major cities, the counters of Transformers were already full of bear children.

In 1988, a Megatron 108 pieces, Hasbro laid a big flag!

The local satellite TV wanted to ask Hasbro for the broadcast rights, and Hasbro said "5000 episodes".

It just so happened that Shen Xudong and several of them have watched "Transformers", including the later "Super Warriors" - the transformation of Captain Orangutan and the transformation of Yellow Panther Warriors...

"Super Warriors" is actually the orthodox sequel to the American version of "Transformers G1".

Pulling it back, the live-action version of "Transformers" has a far-reaching impact on the domestic market!

On the one hand, it directly raised the domestic box office ceiling of Hollywood blockbusters to 280 million;

On the other hand, it also made Hollywood pay more attention to the Chinese market - the first part of "Transformers" contributed $40.81 million to the box office in the mainland market, second only to North America and the British market, and the third in the world...

In the second part, the mainland box office was 58.08 million US dollars, becoming the largest overseas market except North America.

Then "Avatar", the mainland box office is 184 million US dollars (before the re-release), and it is also the largest overseas market except North America...

Hollywood directly treats China as a gold mine!

But before that, China Film's prediction for "Transformers" is at most 100 million...

Because the upper limit of Hollywood blockbusters at this stage is about 100 million.

The "Spider-Man" series is so popular, and the mainland box office is only 141 million - the North American local box office champion in previous years, "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars 3", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" basically did not break 100 million in the mainland box office, among them, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was not even released in the mainland!

There is only one "Titanic"...

To be honest, Hollywood doesn't pay much attention to the mainland market...

Although I know that the potential is huge, the potential is the potential after all, and I will definitely not pay much attention to it until it becomes a reality!

Ahem, not only the domestic market, but also affected the producer and distributor Paramount - Paramount internally evaluated Hasbro and Marvel, and decided to give up Marvel and bet on Hasbro, and then Marvel sold itself to Disney, and Paramount began to build the Hasbro Cinematic Universe, launching the "Super Battleship" and "Special Forces" series...

……

The live-action version of "Transformers", the first one really met all the audience's expectations for Hollywood blockbusters, that is, cool films!

The story of Transformers has no core, it is a mechanical alien creature with a level of technology and biological level far beyond that of human beings fighting on Earth, and what you see is the ability to transform with bells and whistles, which can stimulate all kinds of imagination!

When these appear on the screen, it is enough to make the audience fascinated.

There is a feeling that the comics, toys and stories that I have been familiar with since childhood have come true for the first time, as long as I see those few Autobots transformed, I am very satisfied, not to mention the real equipment of the US military joined, under the fast pace that Mike Bay is used to, air battles, street battles and other fierce battles are full of adrenaline, which is simply boiling...

And then... The director and the production team have to include war, humanity, race, betrayal, and even the collision of divinity and humanity in a cool film.

It seems to be very profound, but in fact, it is a little bit of water and messy!

And... The script is confused, especially "Transformers 5", Lao Tzu wants to watch a bunch of robots click to call me for two hours when he buys a ticket, he doesn't, there are so many human scenes that I want to vomit, and the pillar doesn't even have a detailed transformation picture!

Popcorn slices will give Lao Tzu a good refreshment, and pursue the depth of Nima?

After watching the movie, Zhao Xin came directly: "I'll go, this woman is too sexy!" ”

Shen Xudong was curious: "Who?" ”

"It's the woman who opened the hood!"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Oh, her name is Megan Fox... We also invited her to audition for our previous "Fault in the Stars", but her acting skills were too bad... Not at all! ”

"Is the acting bad?"

“… Well, if you have any thoughts about her, next time I go to the United States, I'll take you with me..."

When Zhao Xin heard this, his eyes lit up first, and then he shook his head: "Forget it, it's good for me to eat mixed rice in China..."

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then you write a script with a heavier taste, which is more yellow and bloody, I will find an opportunity for you to go to the United States as a producer, and then invite her to audition..."

"It's not that easy, is it?"

"For sure, she's now a world-renowned female star... I mean, when you go to Hollywood, you know that there are a lot of actresses who are not famous, and their looks are not inferior to Meghan..."

Shen Xudong popularized science while walking...

The more Zhao Xin listened, the more confused he became, and simply asked: "You are a producer in the United States, are you playing with unspoken rules?" ”

"Nope!" Shen Xudong shook his head.

"That's pretty much it, let me tell you, you went to the United States to represent Chinese filmmakers..."

Shen Xudong continued: "I just asked the question, 'Why should I use you', and they took off their clothes..."
