Chapter 22: Blocking?

When "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" was in preparation, a Korean producer joined.

South Korea's Thai Won Entertainment Company, the boss is called Jung Tae-won, very famous, at least before the chaebol entered the showbiz...

"Family Glory", "Incheon Landing Battle", and "Director Kim" are all works of this company.

It's a pity that South Korea is the chaebol after all, and later CJ Entertainment, SHOWBOX (owned by Haoliyou), Lotte Entertainment...

Including Warner and Twentieth Century Fox, they entered the Korean market and established two companies, Warner Bros. Korea and Century Fox.

A company like Thai Yuan Entertainment without financial support can easily go out of business!

Of course, at this stage, Thai Yuan Entertainment's distribution ability is still very good, and it has helped "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" to win 378 open theaters!

"Zhao Zilong 2" was released by CJ, and it was also opened in 378 theaters...

The most speechless thing is that the Korean audience has a similar perception of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" and "Zhao Zilong 2", most of them are praised, and you can see that the reviews are similar, similar to 'no exaggerated stunts, completely presenting the process of riding a horse to fight'...

'How handsome! ’

Of course, the mainstream media in South Korea have completely different evaluations of the two films, thinking that "Zhao Zilong 2" perfectly continues the production style of "Zhao Zilong" and is a 'real big production', as for "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor", most of them are 'disappointing'!

This was not arranged by Shen Xudong...

CJ Entertainment has no arrangement, Shen Xudong doesn't know...

Shen Xudong was busy running roadshows and didn't have time to think about these things.

According to the itinerary, the main creative team will run 15 cities in 11 days!

The hottest viewing stage of commercial movies is the first two weeks...

What's more, on April 24th, "The King of Kung Fu" will be released, and it will be a 21-day schedule.

Shen Xudong doesn't need to be in such a hurry, he is a producer.

But it is impossible for the propaganda to be used by a person with a huge flow of him, so with reference to his opinion, several activities were arranged to go to the campus and share his creations.

Shen Xudong is quite happy to participate in such an event.

At this time, he was in the auditorium of Zhejiang University, sharing and exchanging with teachers and students on films.

In the question session, a boy stood up and asked: "Producer Shen, do you think film and television creation must respect history?" ”

Shen Xudong thought for a while and replied: "Of course, film and television dramas are not documentaries, but at least we must respect the basic historical facts, after all, our beliefs are history!" ”

A teacher on the stage was curious to answer: "Faith? ”

"That's right! When I was in the United States, a friend asked me if I believed in God, and of course I said no, and they told me how great God is..."

"For a while, I also felt that people had faith as if it was very good, and I didn't seem to be very low, and even bought a copy of the Bible to read it, to be honest, I felt that the Bible was similar to the Romance of the Gods, just some myths and legends, not very interesting... Later, I began to ponder the question of Chinese beliefs! ”

"One day, my dad called me to pay for the family tree, and then I understood the belief of the Chinese: to leave a name in history!

In fact, in China, every dynasty that prides itself on orthodoxy will lead the compilation of the history of the previous dynasty, the twenty-four histories, I believe you have read a little bit, this thing is very rare in the world, and no country will be officially revised by the history books!

Even ordinary Chinese will have a family to write a family tree, which is the history of the family.

For the Chinese, in addition to letting people understand what happened in the past, history books also play a role similar to other ethnic and religious texts.

History is the centripetal force that unites the Chinese nation, giving Chinese a sense of cultural belonging, which is no less than the West's feelings for religion. ”

"Moreover, this thing has been ingrained in the genes of every Chinese, so when you see a film and television drama made up, you will be angry!"

Hearing this, a girl stood up: "Then according to what you said, historical dramas must be flawed!" ”

"yes, so I'm talking about respect, not conformity, these are two concepts..."

"First of all, I am a screenwriter, from the perspective of screenwriters, I am not a historian, and the professional knowledge that screenwriters must have does not include the 24th history, so there must be its limitations, sometimes even if the screenwriter has the intention to follow history, but due to the lack of knowledge reserves and the lack of mastery of the method of distinguishing historical materials, it is inevitable to laugh and be generous, for example, Chen Daoming in "Kangxi Dynasty" teacher said, 'This Forbidden City, Genghis Khan came in from here and destroyed the Song Dynasty.' This sentence is obviously wrong, the location of the Forbidden City did not belong to the Song Dynasty at that time, but the Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchen Wanyan clan! But can you say that "Kangxi Dynasty" is not a historical drama? ”

"Actually, I think that history itself is a complex activity of peeling back the cocoons from various historical materials and looking for a comparison between words and real objects, and sometimes what is recorded in the book is not necessarily the truth! For example, when the scholars of the Song Dynasty revised the "History of the Tang Dynasty", for political purposes, they added many jokes that smeared the emperors of the Tang Dynasty and promoted the style of the scholars..."

"Finally, I would like to say my point of view: it is what historians have to do in line with history, and what screenwriters have to do is to conform to the general trend and trend of history, and just be pretentious or retrograde on key issues.

We should create logical plots and stories under the spiritual principles of following historical allusions, respecting historical figures, and respecting traditional culture, and the historical elements should be the re-coloring of China's cultural totems, rather than shaking the totems and scandalizing the totems.

You can't have lines like 'Long live the Great Shu Kingdom' and 'Long live the Great Wei Kingdom', we all know that the establishment of the Shu Kingdom is based on the orthodoxy of the Han family, even if you shout 'Long live the Great Han', I think you can forgive it! ”

Well, the last sentence still shows the chicken's feet, and it hacks a handful of "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor"...

"Thank you Xudong, come," the host controlled: "... One last question, the girl with the glasses..."

"Producer Shen, I watched the discussion on the Internet, saying that you banned Andy Lau? Is it true? ”

"Oh, I have to answer that!"

Well, recently the news that Shen Xudong blocked Andy Lau began to be reported on the Internet...

It's outrageous!

Obviously, the movie can't be compared, and it's starting to use off-screen tricks...

"You think too highly of me!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "That's Liu Dehua, who has the ability to ban him?" Is the General Administration a cow or not? said that Tang Wei would be banned, and now reports about Tang Wei are still frequently reported in the newspapers... No, you are all college students, can you have some ideas of your own, what can I do to ban him? ”

"That..."

"Let me explain, I just won't work with him, not now, not in the future, it's as simple as that!"

“… Isn't this a ban? ”

“… That's how you understand it? ”

The event ended with Shen Xudong's rhetorical question, and after the end, Shen Xudong immediately took a car to the airport, went to Wuhan tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... Hong Kong...
