There is a lot of messy behind-the-scenes information about the casting of "Lust and Caution".

What Shu Qi, Liu Yifei, Da S, Zhou Xun refused to act, by the way, and Ge You asked to play Mr. Yi or something...

Of course, Ge You denied afterwards: I have never seen Li Amine!

Now it is said that Ah Mou was originally scheduled to play Mr. Yi?

Han Yan said casually: "It is probably hype, everyone knows that Director Zhang is busy with the Olympic Games, and he doesn't even have time to direct movies, how can he have time to appear in movies?" ”

“… It's not impossible, the producer of "Lust and Caution" has Anle Film and Television, you must know the relationship between Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yi of Anle Film and Television..."

"That's right! Xudong, do you know the inside story? ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't care much about these, but I know that "Color Caution" originally wanted to find Jiang Wen to direct, but Jiang Wen saw at a glance the problem of this original work - challenging the tolerance of Chinese." Although Jiang Wen likes to challenge the audience, he will not provoke the bottom line! ”

"So, what kind of mentality did Li Amine use to shoot "Lust and Caution"?"

"No matter what kind of mentality he has, purely from the point of view of the quality of "Lust, Caution", it is not good, far from the point where art crosses the nation!"

Ning Hao nodded: "That's right, those people who praise "Lust, Caution" from art and humanity are just indifferent to that pain..."

"Don't talk about Lust and Caution... Let's talk about something else. ”

Shen Xudong diverted the topic, and Ning Hao immediately said: "I finished filming "The Tuner", and the "Nobody" you gave me, I think it can be modified..."

"Change... How to change? ”

Han Yan was immediately interested: "What "Nobody"? ”

"Oh, I wrote the script..."

Shen Xudong explained the plot of "The Nameless"...

"The Nameless" can't talk about the plot, but mainly the group portrait: around a lost old gun, it tells the story of a pair of low-profile robbers, a down-and-out security guard, and a physically disabled but fierce poisonous tongue girl, a series of absurd stories that happened to these "nameless people".

Ning Hao said: "I looked at the script and found that there was no clue linking the protagonist Lao Ma with the robbers... You can set up the lost earthen gun to be stolen by two robbers! ”

"That's... The protagonist knows them from the beginning? ”

"Yes... The ending is a bit too sensational..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "The ending can't be changed, otherwise, you won't be able to pass the trial!" ”

The ending of "Nobody", if you talk about logic, it is all Be, and the movie can't be watched...

What does the most logical ending look like?

The protagonist, Lao Ma, dies in a hug with his daughter;

Glasses was not sentenced to death, because he was already insane, and in the mental hospital he often took a clothesline he had picked up and told others that it was the cobra he had killed;

Ma Jiaqi woke up and didn't wait for the person who walked the bridge with her, her brother died, and all she got was a pension and a long life without hope.

After Datou was released from prison, Xiaoxia was not found, and she left.

Xiaoxia has AIDS, and once she does something wrong, it is difficult to find a way back...

All the staff sighed.

But life still has to go on, and the ripples will eventually be silenced...

With such an ending, the reputation must be very good, but... Except for a very small number of viewers who are willing to accept it, most of the audience definitely don't like it.

It's an absurd comedy, so let's not be too real.

It's too real... I can't go any further.

Han Yan didn't understand what the two of them were talking about at all, but he heard Ning Hao's work intensity... Just finished the filming of one work, and immediately started another...

If I'm not mistaken, that is, the three dramas "Racing", "Tuner", and "The Nameless" were filmed one after another?

Aren't you tired?

Ning Hao explained: "I need money for a house... Moreover, these two scripts are good, if I don't shoot, I will regret it~"

Shen Xudong added: "You also want to train the team..."

Han Yan... I didn't know what to say for a while...

Nyima is exploiting here, right?

Shen Xudong probably saw Han Yan's thoughts: "Actually, Ning Hao is now a benchmark director of TiMi Media, what is a benchmark?" One drama a year is the minimum, if you look at Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, they are all one drama a year, and Director Feng sometimes has two plays a year!

If Director Ning has an idea, he will follow his idea, if he doesn't have an idea, we will provide the script, and he will choose it himself..."

“… I'm so envious! ”

Han Yan... I understand this meaning, in fact, it is to concentrate the company's resources to create a director...

Or to build Ning Hao's personal brand.

"Envy?" Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said, "Wait for your "Innocent Comics" to finish filming... I'll ask the company to put some burden on you too! ”

……

Han Yan is different from Ning Hao, "Life Events" is actually Shen Xudong's work.

Ning Hao belongs to self-writing and directing, well, in fact, he is the kind of mature director who fights the world alone.

To put it more clearly, similar to Feng Xiaogang, a person can hold up a company's director.

So, he needs works, as many works as possible.

For commercial film directors, the thickness of the work is not as important as the number of works or the box office of the work!

Ning Hao wants to build a personal brand, and the company will naturally do its best.

Han Yan was still a little close, and he knew it himself.

Although he is envious, he is not jealous, and the company supports him very much.

Didn't Xudong say, 'Below 20 million, just make it'.

"Innocent Comics", two pairs of love stories, one is a 30-year-old uncle and a 20-year-old beautiful girl, the other is a 22-year-old silly boy and a 29-year-old sad woman...

The story is very touching, as long as the characters are chosen, and they dare not tell 100 million, 50 million is still no problem!

Nowadays, the film market is expanding, and under the premise of good publicity, it is easier than before for movies with quality above the standard to make money.

Then, Han Yan went to Chen Xi to discuss the actor, oh, the 29-year-old sad woman, Shen Xudong recommended Yu Feihong...

……

"Eighteen million is already very good, you look at what films are in the same schedule, "Spy 3", "Die Hard 4"... These are Hollywood blockbusters! ”

company, Shen Xudong is comforting Gao Fenfen, she feels that "Happy Death Day" did not meet expectations...

Shen Xudong thought it was already very good.

“… Take a look at the attendance rate and film schedule of "Happy Death Day", "Spy Shadow 3", and "Die Hard 4" for yourself..."

Shen Xudong didn't know why, so he took it and took a look... Then I was surprised to find that the attendance rate of "Happy Death Day" is the highest, but the film schedule is indeed the least, except for Golden Harvest Cinema, other theaters arrange a maximum of 20%...

Obviously, "Happy Death Day" is flattened...

Even if the film schedule was adjusted later, there were not many adjustments, after all, "Happy Death Day" is only a low-cost B-grade film, and the Internet is full of high-definition pirated film sources...

After reading the information, Shen Xudong was also a little unhappy, but... It's still acceptable, after all, "Happy Death Day" hasn't been promoted much in China at all, and the poster is hard + premiered, and the addition of one piece is less than 3 million...

The box office of 18 million has already paid off!

"If other theaters support it more, maybe it will already be 20 million!"

Gao Fenfen said: "... So, I'm going to buy Qingdao Silver Star Cinemas and merge it into Golden Harvest..."

"Acquisition of cinemas? Qingdao Silver Star? ”

"There are two cinemas in Shandong, Shandong Oka New Century Cinema Line, Qingdao Silver Star Cinema Line, we have studied it, Qingdao Silver Star Cinema Line mainly focuses on Shandong prefecture-level cities, and the goal is the same as ours, you see, Qingdao, ZB, Weihai, Dongying and other cities, with a total of 20 cinemas and 30 screens..."

"Wait a minute!"

Shen Xudong thought he was wrong: "20 theaters, 30 screens? Are you kidding? ”

"It was a merger of the old theaters, and it lacked the funds to renovate the old theaters or build new ones on a large scale," Gao explained.

“… Is it expensive? ”

"It's not expensive, up to 40 million, and after we win the theater, it will definitely be rebuilt, which can be regarded as a local cultural construction... Relevant policy and financial support should also be given! ”

"Cheng, you look at it... But don't be too presumptuous... Ours is still low-key development! ”
