In fact, the original version of "Ghost Shadow" was not released at the beginning, and was directly made into a DVD, but due to its great popularity in the DVD market and the promotion of the great director Spielberg, it moved to the big screen...

Spielberg introduced the film to Paramount, and Paramount decided to release it, but he didn't take the liberty of directly painting the screen of 2000+.

Initially released on a small scale in 12 theaters, it took a month of public opinion and word-of-mouth fermentation, and then expanded to more than 2,000 theaters, grossing a total of $107 million in the United States and nearly $200 million at the global box office, creating an unprecedented success.

Zhao Linhai was disappointed with the aesthetics of the American people: "That's not more than 100 million dollars... This movie is so rudimentary! ”

"Horror movies are about selling creativity, Americans are rich and like to watch movies, I have never seen this form..."Shen Xudong explained a few words casually and changed the topic: "Sister-in-law, who did the two heroines of "The Temptation of Going Home" choose? ”

Chang Xiaoxiang and Zhao Linhai are already married, and Shen Xudong's attitude towards her is naturally different from before.

There is a very delicate problem, that is, the attitude towards his brother and woman.

If it's just in a relationship, it's polite on the surface, but in fact, no one will really take it seriously;

If you have been dating for a long time and feel very stable, the intimacy will naturally increase a few points, but there is still a limit;

If you get married and become a sister-in-law or a younger sister, then you will be treated the same...

Shen Xudong is now regarded as the same!

Chang Xiaoxiang: "Zeng Li and Yan Danchen... Qin Lan fell in love, got along with Lu Chuan, and filmed "Nanjing! Nanjing" went..."

"Lu Chuan... A pretending to be a forced goods! ”

Zhao Linhai interjected: "What's wrong?" You don't like him? ”

"You like him?"

“… I don't like it very much, I always feel that this person has no goods in his stomach, and he insists on pretending..."

Chang Xiaoxiang agreed: "I talked to him a few times, and his personality is very similar to his movies, pretentious, contrived and fake!" ”

"That's right," Shen Xudong added: "There are a group of so-called intellectual directors in our country, who think that something satirical must be exposed to be profound, but they lack the most basic philosophical, literary and even historical literacy, and always think that they can make "Hinterer's List", but in fact, they can't even make "Jaws"! ”

"Normal, take yourself too seriously! In the early years, the film studios were all this kind of goods... I don't have much ability, and I have a lot of. ”

That's accurate!

Halfway through the three of them, Chang Xiaoxiang suddenly asked, "Xudong, have you been in contact with Li Yiyao recently?" ”

“… No, I'm busy like a spinning top every day..."

"You're 23, it's time for a relationship!"

"I have women!"

Chang Xiaoxiang shook his head: "Having a woman and falling in love are two different concepts..."

Well, she probably knows some rumors about Shen Xudong as well...

She felt like the rumors... It's quite normal, Xudong is a big guy, it's normal to have needs, those actresses recommend their own pillows, he sleeps when he sleeps, artists are like this!

Shen Xudong knew that his sister-in-law wanted to introduce him to his girlfriend again, and scratched his head: "... Let's talk about it..."

"Brother Zhao and I originally thought that Zhang Xi was good... I thought you could do it with her... Later, I heard that she is no longer your assistant? ”

"What do you all think, she's my assistant, that's all!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "She has a good image and is interested in acting, Chen Xi introduced her to the Chinese opera advanced class... I'm going to find another assistant after the New Year..."

“… You didn't urge marriage at home? ”

"Urging marriage... Of course, there is urging, but no matter how much I urge, I can't just explain myself, finding a wife is a lifelong thing! ”

"You tell me the requirements, I'll pick one for you..."

Shen Xudong glanced at Chang Xiaoxiang, thought for a while, and said, "The height is about 170, you have to be beautiful, and your breasts have to be big... Well, the family has money, by the way, it's better to have no emotional experience, and it's best to be a virgin... Kind-hearted, sensible, knowledgeable, don't restrict my personal freedom... You have to be under 20 years old..."

Before he finished speaking, Chang Xiaoxiang was speechless: "Stop... Are you picking a girlfriend or a princess? ”

Shen Xudong looked aggrieved: "If you ask me what I want, I'll just say it!" ”

“… I won't help you find it! ”

Zhao Linhai glanced at Chang Xiaoxiang: "You have a lot of things, Xudong still needs you to worry about it?" ”

……

The failure of "C+ Detective" did not affect Dao Yudong's ambitions, because there is a "Iron Triangle" in the National Day file, directed by Xu Ke + To Qifeng + Lin Lingdong!

What is it called?

King fried combo!

Xu Ke has just directed "Embroidered Spring Knife" and his reputation has recovered, while Lin Lingdong has "Manslaughter", and his reputation is also quite high, not to mention To Qifeng - after "Underworld", Johnny To's status in the Hong Kong film industry skyrocketed...

Oh, the movie is called "Iron Triangle"...

Three directors work together to tell a story, each responsible for a different part of the story. During filming, the three first discussed a story outline, and Xu Ke was responsible for the "beginning" of the film. After two months of shutdown, Lin Lingdong relayed according to Xu Ke's "beginning" to tell the "development" of the story, and then shut down for another two months, and Du Qifeng came to "close".

There is no script at all for filming, and the director is free to play. The three of them independently completed their own shooting sequences, and finally edited them together...

So "Iron Triangle" is both the title and the behind-the-scenes creation!

The cost is almost 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and the team is Johnny To's Galaxy Image...

Tale...

In fact, just think about it: the three directors each direct one-third, can they coordinate?

But Yu Dong feels that this gimmick alone is worth 100 million at the box office!

It's best to use it to play "Lust Caution".

Oh, the first National Day was set for "Lust Caution", and then "Lust Caution" was postponed for a month, and Shen Xudong's "Rise to Fame" was launched...

Just right, new and old grudges together!

However, the main creative team of "Rise to Fame" ignores "C+ Detective" like "Embroidered Spring Knife", and does not care about "Iron Triangle" at all...

It's really ignored.

800 copies of "Rise to Fame", with the full support of 10 major cinema chains - the top ten cinema chains jointly issued "Rise to Fame"...

The channel is done, the star lineup is super strong, the script of "Rise to Fame" itself is not bad, and the directors are publicly displayed: Shen Xudong, Zhang Li, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen...

The four directors are one more than the three directors of "Iron Triangle"!

So?

Why care about it?

Besides, Shen Xudong's popularity beats the three of them!

Yes, they are very famous Hong Kong directors, but to be honest, who cares about Hong Kong directors in ordinary audiences?

For the general impression of Hong Kong movies, the audience may only think of actors such as Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc., while the director's popularity is relatively low.

Their names may only appear in the opening credits of a movie for a split second, and then they will be forgotten.

A director's name that many people know is Zhang Yimou!

Of course, Shen Xudong didn't leave any of the publicity that should be done...

However, the main ones who ran the publicity were Shen Xudong and Shen Teng, there was no way, the other actors had something to do, and they would attend a few press conferences at most...
