Golden Harvest movies, although they do all genres, the focus is still on martial arts and action movies.

Remakes are an established strategy.

Known success story template + audience base where the remake and the original do not coincide with each other = guaranteed market and word-of-mouth...

The premise is not to collapse too badly.

And one more point - the remake is good to pass the review!

worked hard to make a movie or TV series, even if it was a low-budget micro-film, if the result was directly killed...

Isn't everyone's hard work in vain?

The most important thing for making a movie in China is to be able to pass the review!

Then you think that movies like "The Legend of Modern Heroes" and "Three Heroes of the East" are basically impossible to release in the mainland, because these two categories belong to the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

The post-apocalyptic wasteland wind is bound to be accompanied by an apocalyptic catastrophe and the anarchy that follows, so if something that involves this genre is a game and okay, it will involve censorship on the big screen...

"Mad Max: Fury Road" didn't make it to the big screen!

Shen Xudong's idea is to make a web drama...

Why bring it up now?

Isn't that out of topic!

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Zhiqiang left first, and then Yang Shoucheng also left...

"I'll treat you to something to eat!"

Well, only Shen Xudong and Aunt Liu and Liu Yifei are left on the ship...

Of course, there are also those who are responsible for driving the boat.

The two of them had nothing to do, Shen Xudong was very skillful in dialing the phone and ordering some pastries...

I haven't eaten until now, and my stomach is already growling!

Dine with a view of Victoria Harbour.

While eating, I briefly asked about the situation of "The King of Kung Fu"...

Liu Yifei is very satisfied with "The King of Kung Fu".

She said that her role was called Jin Yanzi, and Shen Xudong nodded and said, "Then you should ask Teacher Zheng Peipei!" ”

"Why ask her?"

"Golden Swallow is the most classic heroine image she has created, the chivalrous woman in "The Drunken Man"... It is the first female heroine in Chinese film history who dresses up as a man, is heroic, and has both civil and military skills. Later, Zheng Peipei also starred in "Golden Swallow"... Don't you know? ”

"How do I know..."

"Haven't you read the script of The King of Kung Fu?"

"I watched it!"

"You should know that "The King of Kung Fu" is all tributes, and Cheng Chan's style is a drunken man. Martial arts is drunken boxing, Cheng Long became an Asian superstar with 78 years of drunken boxing, Li Lian's style is a monk, and he is famous all over the world by virtue of the 83-year-old Shaolin Temple Jueyuan Little Monk.

The golden swallow and the white-haired witch are all classic martial arts characters! ”

“… Well..."

Liu Yifei was a little surprised, she took over the filming of "The King of Kung Fu", purely because of the strong star lineup...

Analyzing the script or something, it's not her strong point at all!

Aunt Liu suddenly interjected: "But I heard that they asked you to be a screenwriter at the beginning?" ”

"No... It's just that I want to tinker with the characters, and the script is fixed..."

"Then why don't you go?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "The script framework is fixed, which means that I don't have the right to change the plot, I am the Oscar Best Screenwriter..."

Aunt Liu suddenly remembered and nodded: "Yes, you won the Oscar..."

Liu Yifei interrupted her: "That... From a screenwriter's point of view, what do you think of "The King of Kung Fu"? ”

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "If you make a kung fu movie for foreigners, don't talk about the plot, just set a template for "The Lord of the Rings"!" ”

"So, you're not optimistic?"

Shen Xudong did not answer this question, but said: "With Li Lianlian and Cheng Long, it is certain that the world will exceed 100 million!" ”

"Dollars?"

"Nonsense!"

was chatting, the phone rang, Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone, it was... Huang Baiming.

"Are you still at The Peninsula?"

“… I'm in Victoria Bay, are you okay? ”

“… When you come to Hong Kong, of course I want to receive you... So, tomorrow night, the Hilton! ”

"Don't go to the hotel..."

"That's... Nightclub? ”

“… I mean find a restaurant with good food..."

"Okay, I'll arrange, see you tomorrow night!"

Hanging up the phone, facing Liu Yifei's somewhat inquiring gaze, he explained: "It's Huang Baiming, he asked me to have dinner together tomorrow night." ”

"You know each other well?"

“… It's okay, we Golden Harvest have a few movies with his Oriental Film and Television..."

……

At about half past eleven, Shen Xudong took a shower, wrapped himself in a bath towel and returned to his room, turned on the computer, and prepared to watch today's entertainment news...

Oh, Liu Yifei didn't come over...

I went back to the hotel with her mother.

It's a normal thing, you can't bring Aunt Liu, right?

Aunt Liu said a lot of good things, Amway Liu Yifei...

I want her to take over a few Golden Harvest movies.

But... Xudong was a little scared of the matter of enabling Liu Yifei - kneeling eight times in a row!

The box office has been kneeling for several years, acting in one and one in another...

The movie versions of "To Youth 2" and "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" can fail at the box office?

Disney live-action animated movie, never missed, as soon as I touched her, I planted it directly...

Xiao Xianrou has caught up with her from prosperity to decline, and the deterioration of Sino-US relations has also allowed her to catch up...

Also, Ahri Pictures, Lao Ma was very ambitious back then, and he had a bunch of big data under his hands, and he felt that he could change Chinese films, and then cooperated with Liu Yifei in several plays...

Of course, the decline of Ahri Pictures has nothing to do with her...

But how did she run into it?

This thing can be described as a god of decay.

Although Shen Xudong is not superstitious, there are some things that he would rather believe in than believe in nothing.

So, reply in unison: next time!

Of course, it is not ruled out that Shen Xudong will have to praise her because of brain congestion...

But it shouldn't be...

It's not like he hasn't seen beautiful women!

……

The time is April 11th, "Zhao Zilong 2" and "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" have been released for eight days, well, it's actually 7 days...

Because it's early in the morning!

The cumulative box office of "Zhao Zilong 2" successfully exceeded 100 million, and now it is 102 million, and "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" is 50.6 million...

The gap between the two sides continues to widen.

According to the forecast of the theater, the final box office of "Zhao Zilong 2" is between 180 million ~ 200 million...

It's a bit high, the company's prediction should be around 150 million!

Because, "The King of Kung Fu" is coming...

Its publicity battle is too big, and it directly affects many viewers who originally wanted to go to the theater to watch "Zhao Zilong 2" - it's better to wait and watch Li Lian, Cheng Long...

After all, movie tickets are still very expensive at this stage!

Overseas, "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" was hit by "Zhao Zilong 2", and the box office was very sluggish - Singapore only won $300,000 at the box office, and "Zhao Zilong 2" had $800,000...

This matter has a great impact.

It's not just Andy Lau, it's not just Golden Harvest or Shen Xudong's strong production ability, but it's related to the co-production pattern!

The starring role of "Zhao Zilong 2" is Nie Yuan, a mainland actor who has no overseas roots before!

Hong Kong and the mainland are joint ventures, the male protagonist must be a Hong Kong and Taiwan actor, and the female protagonist can be given to the mainland...

According to Wang Jing: Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have overseas markets...

This also directly led to the fact that before the box office explosion of "Thai Embarrassment", mainland actors were suppressed for nearly ten years.

Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Shen Teng, and Wu Jing are all very old, and before they came out, the coffee position was far inferior to that of their contemporaries...

This is very abnormal!

Also, the title of the previous chapter was wrong, it was not banned...
