Yes, investing in Jiang Wen's movies is indeed not a good idea!

From an investor's point of view, Jiang Wen is definitely a pit goods.

The logic of film and television investment is different from the logic of creation.

It doesn't mean that good works will necessarily make money.

What kind of director is worth investing in?

First, we must look at the ability to win the box office, second, we must look at the ability to save costs, and third, we must look at the ability to shorten the investment cycle.

Jiang Wen does not have these three abilities.

To date, he has directed three plays, and only "Sunny Days" has made money...

"The Devil is Coming" was simply banned...

"The Sun Also Rises", Gao Fenfen... I didn't understand it, and I even fell asleep.

Will such a movie be a blockbuster?

It is said that "The Sun Also Rises", the requirements of investors: to have beautiful women, to have sex...

Later, "Let the Bullets Fly" 'There must be hot pot, wine, beauty, and donkey...' came about like this!

Pulling it back, Gao Fenfen considered investing in Jiang Wen from the perspective of investors...

She doesn't think it's profitable!

Shen Xudong shook his head with a smile: ""The Sun Also Rises" will definitely lose money, so I will be the producer of his next work!" ”

“… Are you an executive producer? ”

"Hmm... I watched the whole shooting process! ”

Shen Xudong said so, of course Gao Fenfen had nothing to say...

"Okay, I still have a game, let's go first!"

"Bureau? What bureau? ”

"Dinner..."

……

From the perspective of the company's short-term development, binding Feng Xiaogang is a good choice.

His films do make money!

In the domestic film industry in the past ten years, if the power of the government is excluded, the director who can make money is second to none.

But... Shen Xudong didn't really want to be too involved with Feng Xiaogang.

Let's give it to the Wang brothers, after all, they are a circle!

As for "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", continue to invite, simple business contacts, Feng Xiaogang takes money to do things.

There's nothing wrong with this thing.

Oh, Shen Xudong does have a dinner, and it is a bureau that Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guo have made a contract.

I heard that Wang Shuo asked for it.

After a while, I arrived at the agreed hotel, pushed open the box door, glanced at it, and sat five people...

Feng Xiaogang, Xu Fan, Zhang Guoli and Wang Shuo...

There is also a girl who is quite familiar.

Seeing him push the door, a group of people stood up, and Zhang Guoli spoke first: "Just came back from Canada?" ”

"Hmm..."

Shen Xudong nodded, and then greeted: "Uncle Guoli, Director Feng, Sister Fan, Master Shuo... And this sister... Or sister? ”

Feng Xiaogang continued: "Let me introduce, Wang Ziwen, a friend of Master Shuo... How old are you? ”

Wang Ziwen: "82 years, I am 25 this year..."

"Then you should call him brother, Xiao Shen is 84 years old, and he is 23 years old this year!"

Wang Ziwen immediately looked at Shen Xudong, this younger brother really couldn't shout...

Shen Xudong looked at Wang Shuo: "Master Shuo... Then I'll call my sister? ”

"You shouted your..."

"Sister..."

"Let's go our own way..."

Then Wang Shuo told about Wang Ziwen's tragic experience... was fooled into signing a 15-year contract, and if you want to terminate the contract, you have to pay 400,000 liquidated damages and sign a guarantee that you will not be allowed to engage in the film and television industry for 20 years before you can regain your freedom...

"I can't stand this anger... I've got you covered! ”

A sense of justice...

But everyone knows Wang Shuo's virtue, isn't it just that he likes other people's little girls, why are you going so far?

“… Xiao Wang is an actor, you will take care of it more in the future..."

Shen Xudong nodded: "Don't worry, I'll say hello to them..."

I have to say that Wang Shuo is really old and strong, he is almost fifty years old, and he has changed his honey again!

……

This stubble is over, and Shen Xudong sat down.

Zhang Guoli picked up his wine glass: "Congratulations to Xiao Shen first, all three movies have exceeded 100 million..."

Feng Xiaogang reminded: "Four, and "Zhao Zilong"! ”

“… I mean, the last March, what's it called... In the summer file, I read several articles, and they all said that you are the big winner of the summer file! ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "There is still a distribution fee to earn a reputation, and the current market is still too small." ”

"It's only been three years, and you've come this far..."

"It's all luck..."Shen Xudong didn't really want to talk about this, so he picked up the teacup: "Drink, drink..."

Glancing at the tea in Shen Xudong's hand, Wang Shuo was a little unhappy: "You are wine?" ”

"I... It's tea..."

"He's allergic to alcohol..."

"Alcohol allergies... Aren't you not allowed to drink? ”

Get used to it, every time you have a dinner, there is a fixed link - mocking Shen Xudong's drinking!

A few people chatted while eating, and soon talked about "The Sun Also Rises" did not win an award...

Wang Shuo was very angry: "Zhang Yi is targeting Jiang Wen!" ”

“… I can't talk about it, maybe he just doesn't like it? ”

"Xudong, what do you think?"

“… I haven't watched "The Sun Also Rises"..."

Regarding why Ah Mou did not present the award to "The Sun", Ah Mou himself explained: ""Lust and Caution" is a good use of internationally accepted elements, so it is generally recognized. ’

This comment is precisely the main reason why "The Sun Also Rises" failed to win the award. In other words, the film directed by Jiang Wen was defeated in Venice because it was not understood by both Chinese and foreigners.

But...is "Lust and Caution" a good movie?

Shen Xudong continued: "I just don't quite understand why the Golden Lion Award was awarded to "Lust and Caution"..."

"What happened to Lust and Caution?"

"You haven't read the original work of "Lust and Caution", have you..."Shen Xudong probably talked about the content: "... Female college student Wang Jiazhi used her beauty to approach the traitor Mr. Yi with the intention of assassinating, and when Jiazhi successfully seduced Mr. Yi and was about to do it, she found that she had moved her true feelings, so she sent a message to let Mr. Yi escape, but Mr. Yi decided to kill them all..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "Actually, after the publication of "Lust and Caution", a large number of people beat Zhang Ailing in large numbers, and even forced Zhang Ailing to write an article to clarify..."

"The story... It's so fake! Wang Shuo was speechless: "Moved by the truth? I'm afraid they don't understand the hatefulness of traitors! ”

Zhang Guoli nodded: "Yes, you can't use the thinking of the era of peace to speculate on the choice of the era of war, during the war, a large number of people die every day, invaders come to your hometown, burn your house, kill your relatives and friends, everything you once cherished has become a complete hell on earth."

What is a traitor? An accomplice of the aggressor, even more odious than the aggressor!

Courage or anger!

At this time, will you still have true feelings for the traitor? I really can't figure it out, what do you think to think that such a movie is good? ”

Shen Xudong also nodded: "If a foreign language film, with the background of World War II, the male protagonist is German, and the heroine is Jewish, and the story is the same as "Lust and Caution", it is estimated that the director can be scolded to death and win the Golden Lion Award?" ”

“… That's why I said that Zhang Yi is a stinky! ”
