Chapter 17 "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth"?

"The End of the World"!

The love between a terminally ill boy and a terminally ill girl, the instant disillusionment of life and death, and the sense of dramatic conflict is full.

The entry point of this subject is very flattering: the shooting cost is low; The portrait of the core audience entering the theater is: a 20-year-old sophomore. Main purpose: to fall in love; Focus on the disadvantaged, occupy the moral high ground, and the reputation will not be bad...

In the original time and space, more than ten movies of this type were born after "The Fault in the Stars", "Before I Met You", "Everything Everything", "Back to Mars", "Midnight Sun", "Five Feet of the World" and so on...

Except for "Back to Mars" cross-planetary love, the cost is too high and the money is lost, most of them have made money!

The plot synopsis of this kind of movie is the same: getting sick at a young age - knowing and falling in love - encouraging each other - life discussion - thinking ending;

Since the company has made "The Fault in the Stars", let's continue to do it!

Oh, yes, the studio didn't have a single production in the first half of this year...

No way, four horror films plus one "Twilight"...

There are five works this year.

No, there will be a "Clover Files" in April, but the ceiling of this movie is here.

lacks popular independent feature films such as "Juno" and "The Fault in the Stars"!

The situation that was finally opened up by two independent feature films can't be so lost.

Didn't Joseph think of this question?

I must have thought of it, but he is very busy, in addition to Marvelous Studios, he also has his own business, such as "Hell" produced with Lionsgate, "Uninvited" produced with Paramount...

"Hell" had a poor reputation and box office, and it did not meet expectations, and Joseph was busy throwing the pot, how could he have the time to think about the studio's affairs?

Therefore, it has to rely on Shen Xudong!

……

Hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong opened his notebook, found the 'Fortune Plan', clicked on it, and then looked through the low-cost comedy column...

With the release of "Iron Man", Hollywood will inevitably move towards the era of commercial blockbusters with superheroes as the mainstream!

Soon the financial crisis is coming, Hollywood is in a money shortage, and comics are the most stable type.

Then, inevitably, the living space of other types is infinitely compressed, so, Martin Scorsese bombarded Marvel, his "The Irishman" could not be released in theaters, including this "Flower Moon Killer" is also directly logged in to Apple TV+ streaming media...

But there are also independent productions that have come out of the encirclement, such as A24, which has become the new Oscar seed after Weinstein Pictures.

Of course, Shen Xudong has no interest in the Oscars.

His works in the 'Fortune Plan' are basically examples of small and large.

Horror, comedy and... Astringency.

The genre is simple, as far as the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series is concerned...

Eh, with the development of the times, astringent movies are becoming more and more equated with porn films!

Even European filmmakers who hold high the banner of art will find it difficult to make excellent works such as "Venus in Love", "Love", and "Very Apartment".

Horror type, Shen Xudong already has a plan, after a while, he will go to the United States, and then invest $2 million in "Latent", and then pull Wen Ziren into the company...

With the addition of Jason Bren, at least half of the future blockbuster horror genre comes from Marvelous Studios!

So, now the option is clear: comedy!

The producer of the "Hangover" series is Spink, the royal producer of Warner Bros., in addition to "The Hangover", there are also "Fake Family", "Leap Year", and "Arthur", all of which are in the small and big genre.

Shen Xudong originally wanted to make it himself—this thing has a core: looking for lost memories after a hangover.

But Shen Xudong is really not good at, pee, fart...

I found a script written by a few screenwriters, and he was not satisfied either...

In addition, I was busy with "Twilight" at the time, so I simply gave up!

However, at the moment, the studio has no good options, so it can start the project and make a √;

Then look down, "Evil Boss", "The End of the World"...

Cross out, this is the work of the Rotten Boy Gang, Shen Xudong can't get along with them!

"Female Spy", "Spicy Hand Police Flower", "Bridesmaids"...

Works by Paul Feiger.

Is it possible to dig him up?

If not, provide the plot framework yourself and find a screenwriter to write it?

Just thinking about it, the phone vibrate, and after looking at it, it was Zhao Baogang...

……

After the success of "Struggle", Zhao Baogang became a first-line TV drama director.

But the ratings and word-of-mouth of "Harbin at Night" and "Paris Fairy Tale" broadcast in the same year are not good!

In particular, "Harbin at Night" was scolded by the media, 'I can't believe that this is something that Zhao Bao just filmed.' And these actors, the handsome men and the beautiful women, are an idol drama in the name of the Anti-Japanese War, and they drive away and influence the devil when they fall in love! ’

Zhao Baogang was quite depressed.

At this stage, Zhao Baogang still has something to pursue!

In addition to making money and ratings, he also wants good reviews.

After filming the spy war drama "Sophie's Confession", he decided to launch "Landing, Please Open the Phone" and "Who Calls the Shots in My Youth"...

Well, according to Shen Xudong's suggestion, Gao Xuan and Ren Baoru were found as screenwriters, creating three pairs of characters, so that they could connect with each other, the theme was to realize the ideal, revolving around the contradictions between the two generations and the gap between ideals and reality...

The youth story of three cousins in a family, who entered society as adults at the same time and felt the cruelty of society.

The script came out, and he probably read it once...

Then decided to shoot!

Of course, before the official start of filming, he decided to consult Shen Xudong for advice.

Of course Shen Xudong was happy!

Zhao Baogang has always had a good relationship with him, and when they met, they first complained about "The Story of Deer and Ding"...

Huang Xiaoming's version!

Brother Xiaoming's "The Story of Deer and Ding" premiered on March 5, and the reputation was very poor, and the general attitude of netizens, including the audience, towards Brother Xiaoming was: people and roles are completely separated, and the mouth is full of oily tones, which is too contrived.

The paper media is better, and there are all kinds of sprays on the Internet, from dubbing to plot, from goofs to actors from all walks of life, especially Wei Xiaobao's wives.

Looking at it now, greasy is greasy, and the beauty is really eye-catching: A Ke played by Ying Caier, Shuang'er played by He Zhuoyan, Princess Jianning played by Shu Chang, Zeng Rou played by Li Fei'er, Mu Jianping played by Liu Yun, Fang Yi played by Liu Zi, and Sha Yi's wife Hu Ke played Su Quan...

A big beauty on top!

But at the moment of 08, it's ugly to call one race to another!

Of course, Shen Xudong chatted with Zhao Baogang mainly about the TV series itself: "The later stage was too rushed, the overall tone saturation was too high, giving people a slightly disgusting gorgeousness, and the dubbing sounded weird, it can be said that a good deck of cards was broken." ”

"I heard it was to catch the schedule... It was completed three months ahead of schedule! ”

"No wonder..."

"Eh, look at the script of "Who Calls the Shots in My Youth"..."

"So thin?"

"The scripts for the first three episodes, how could I possibly give you all the scripts!"
