Chapter 13 It's not me who is the producer this time
In fact, there are still cases of Tang Legend adapted to the field of mass communication.
A little farther away is "Dragon Girl" directed by Wang Tianlin in 1957, and closer there is "Nie Yinniang" directed by Hou Xiaoxian.
There are also some other TV series, such as "The Red Whisk Girl" starring Shu Qi
One thing in common: neither was very successful.
The influence of the Tang legend, more implicit, in the pan-cultural sense, is imperceptibly at work.
For example, Wang Shifu's "The Legend of the West Chamber", "The Legend of the West Chamber" is clearly adapted from "The Legend of Yingying";
In fact, "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is very gorgeous and novel in the Tang legend.
But "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is too much...
The first half is okay, but the second half is inexplicable...
The starting point of everyone's work has become their love for Yang Guifei...
But this love is too abrupt and sudden.
The movie may be really meaningful, but the expression of the movie itself does not reach the heart!
Especially at the end of the film, in order to push the sad atmosphere to a climax, the director superimposed several images, Danlong's explanation, the reproduction of the feast of bliss, the body of Yang Guifei and the white dragon, the tears of the black cat, the high flying of the white crane...
The repetitive rendering and reinforcement are a bit emotionally tiring!
In short,
The graphics are beautiful and the art is great.
The plot and character design make people feel like they can barely say the past, but if you think about it, it's not...
Very embarrassing movie.
It's like an essay, a lot of bits and pieces are well written, and then these ornate paragraphs are pieced together without a theme.
Do you think this is a good article? Is it worth reading?
Of course, some people say that the article needs to logically compose the image, and the movie puts the vision in front of you, and the image can be independent...
Oh, the story of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is very simple: in the Tang Dynasty, there was the most beautiful woman in the world named Yang Yuhuan, she symbolized the glory of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor favored her, and the people admired her. However, when the troubled times came, the emperor wanted to kill her in order to quell the rebellion, and he didn't want to leave an infamy in the history books, so he killed her by secret means, and lied to her that it was just a fake death, and she would come back to life in a few days. However, the white crane boy who admired Yang Yuhuan saw through this conspiracy, and when he found Yang Yuhuan, Yang Yuhuan was really dead. Later, the white crane boy couldn't accept it, so he was determined to take revenge, but because he was poisoned, he could only live his soul in the cat.
Thirty years later, a man named Bai Juyi wanted to write poems for Yang Yuhuan, but the truth of the history books was changed by the emperor who killed Yang Yuhuan that year, and the white crane boy, that is, the cat, not only wanted to avenge Yang Yuhuan, but also to return the truth to the world, so while taking revenge, it also found Bai Juyi, and it wanted to borrow Bai Juyi's hand to tell the world the truth about Yang Yuhuan's death...
That's it!
But... The feast of bliss still makes people yearn for it infinitely: the sky is dark, the lights in the street are gradually turned on, a group of Jin Wuwei in red robes and black boots pass through the rows of shops, jump off the boat, and are led upstairs by the flower girl.
Datang Romance!
By the way, if you want to shoot Tang Legend, should you build a Tang City?
That... Are you looking for Director Chen Da?
Build a city and engage in wonders, he is a professional!
……
Tang Legend can do it, but not now, on the one hand, the company does not have so much money, on the other hand, the film market at this stage is still too small to accommodate stories destined to be niche!
Shen Xudong's idea is to cooperate with several streaming media companies and create a few to try.
Zhao Linhai, Liao Gaoxiang and Zhao Xin also have similar ideas, but they want to cooperate with state-owned factories and use government funds to shoot.
True, they are not very optimistic ...
However, Shen Xudong asked Zhao Xin to choose two stories and write the script first.
Zhao Xin chose "Nie Yinniang" and "Kunlun Nu"...
In fact, Shen Xudong felt that "The Legend of the Bearded Guest", including "The Red Line Thief Box", was more storytelling, but he had no inspiration, so he simply asked Liao Gaoxiang to be in charge of these two articles...
What does he do on his own?
Social, of course!
After entering March, Shen Xudong became a courtesan, and he can be seen in various public activities and movie-related activities.
Although Huang Zhongjun's Huayi brothers are half-dead, there is still truth in his saying: In China's film and television, personal ability is very important, but it is not the most important, and making friends is the first productive force.
Well, in fact, Shen Xudong forced her to attend many occasions and met a bunch of bigwigs, most of whom were famous entrepreneurs.
He was a member of a Chinese entrepreneur club, often participated in activities, and met Liu Chuanzhi, Wang Shi, Yu Minhong, Niu Gensheng, Zhu Xinli...
They were all interested in Shen Xudong.
Especially after the release of "People in Embarrassment" for half a month and the box office was 130 million.
Many people are jokingly thinking about investing in Shen Xudong's next movie...
Just kidding, after all, we all know that TiMi Media is not short of funds!
However, I have negotiated a lot of implantation plans, for example, Lenovo sponsored the notebook, mobile phone and other digital products in "Very Perfect"...
Of course, it's certainly not free, 20 million.
……
"People in Embarrassment" won 69 million at the box office in the first four days, and 48 million in the second week, successfully breaking 100 million.
Half a month after its release, the box office exceeded 130 million!
The tail is very strong!
In terms of word-of-mouth, not to mention that the whole people praise it, at least it is mostly praised.
Of course, the film's overseas results... is negligible, it was released in Hong Kong for three days, and the box office was less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it was not released in Southeast Asia at all.
Well, a large-scale tertiary film!
The word-of-mouth is similar to "Plaything", and the box office is very explosive - the box office in ten days exceeded 25 million Hong Kong dollars!
Just in time for the big photo exhibition to be in the ascendant, everyone wants to see the real Hong Kong entertainment industry.
"Dream Showbiz" is very realistic - the bridges in it are all based on real cases, the Hong Kong entertainment industry, three keywords: unspoken rules, gangsters, and capital games.
The unspoken rule is to go to bed first and then go to the play.
At that time, things such as being fostered and unspoken rules were all on the surface, so there was no pressure to learn from them...
In addition, the protagonist is also pressed on the fruit photo event...
It was also forced to jian...
Of course, the heroine finally slept with the company's top management, got a drama contract, and then continued to sleep together... Finally, get ahead!
It's a dream, it's a big entertainment industry!
The starring role is Fu Ying, one of the members of Huang Baigao's girl group Cookies, and the other is called Deng Lixin...
Deng Lixin caught up with Ye Nianchen and starred in "Very Love", and has successfully transformed into an actress...
I heard that the relationship between the two of them was not good, Fu Ying has always been unhappy with Deng Lixin, and seeing that she was thrown off several positions, she simply took it off!
It's also a bit of fame...
really became famous, "Dream Showbiz" sold the copyright of 47 countries and regions, although it is a third-level film, and many scenes are also very explicit, but... The plot is ironic, an actress who dreams of working her own is finally reduced to sleeping with her...
With a hint of critical realism!
By the way, Shen Xudong did not have any signature this time, whether it was production, production or producer, Xu Hui's name was written...
Therefore, many people are guessing who Xu Hui is...
