Chapter 43: One Book and Two Shots
"Have you seen Notting Hill?"
“… I've seen Brokeback Mountain! ”
Shen Xudong was speechless and complained: "Fortunately, you didn't say "Mission Impossible 3"..."
"Mission: Impossible 3"... Haha..."
Sister Jiuyi couldn't help but laugh...
"Stop for a moment!" Shen Xudong said: "I suggest you go to see "Notting Hill", Julia Roberts's work, a very romantic movie, the most touching line is that the female star tearfully said to the bookstore owner: 'Actually, I am also a girl, standing in front of the boy I like, begging him to love me. The heroine of "Star You" is the same, she tried her best, took the initiative to confess, took the initiative to attack, regardless of her self-esteem, repeatedly hit the wall, and stalked..."
"The story of "Star You" is actually the story of the heroine Qian Songyi, the plot all revolves around her, clearing grievances, escaping from danger, and returning to glory, which is the main clue of the whole story, and the main role of the male protagonist is to accompany..."
"So, the key to the success of this show is you, you have to be open-minded!"
Sister Jiuyi nodded: "I have always been very open-minded!" ”
Regarding this, Shen Xudong agreed: "That's, "Apple"... There is no need for a stand-in. ”
“… That's what I call dedication! ”
"I know..."Shen Xudong watched "Apple" with Sister Jiuyi, and he still knows a lot about this movie, but he is still a little uneasy: "There are fart scenes in the play..."
"This can be dubbed later... I may not be able to release it on the spot. ”
“… The actor can't even control his own body, alas..."
Oh, this phrase is clearly a joke ...
Sister Jiuyi also got it, and suddenly thought of something: "People say that eating pineapple will become sweet, I have eaten it for three days, do you feel it?" ”
“… I didn't pay attention, or should I try it again? ”
……
No matter how much Shen Xudong attaches importance to "Star You", it is impossible to sit on the spot.
The on-site producer of the crew is Fang Ying, a senior talent recruited by Chen Xi, and serves as the deputy director of Tianmei TV series...
Shen Xudong has an impression of her, and has created several popular modern dramas, such as "Dear Love", "A Smile is Alluring" and the like...
These dramas, at least judging from the effect shown, are very modern and not earthy at all!
This is very good, what Shen Xudong is most worried about is that "Star You" will become "Bubble Summer" 2.0...
Full of local flavor!
During the preliminary preparations, Shen Xudong specially met with her and talked about the requirements: the picture should be beautiful, the lighting and photography should be the same as the requirements of the movie, it should be pleasing to the eye, don't care about investment, if it is not enough, add it!
Fang Ying deliberately asked the behind-the-scenes team to shoot some sample films, Shen Xudong made the decision, and then decided that she would be the on-site producer...
Oh, Shen Xudong is busy promoting "20 Years Old Again"...
Tianmei's TV series is not worried about selling, basically producing one, and the TV station will rush to buy it...
His focus has always been on film!
What's more, "20 Years Old Again" is the first two-shot work.
……
"One book and two shots are literal, jointly develop the same script, the concept of the script is the same, but the specific form of expression is not the same, and there are still cultural differences between the films of the two countries..."
"Yes, you can also interpret it as a remake..."
Shen Xudong was promoting "20 Years Old Again", first explaining the concept of one book and two shots, and then said: "Over the years, Sino-Korean co-productions have actually been mainly filmed on location provided by the Chinese side, such as "Flying Dance", "Seven Swords", etc... Since 2003, there has been a cooperation method based on investment and human cooperation, which has enriched the content of cooperation and opened a new stage, this cooperation model is of course very good, but many films have not achieved ideal market performance, "Ink Attack", "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor" word-of-mouth, box office is very mediocre! At the beginning of last year, I went on a business trip to South Korea, and Jung Tae-sung offered to remake several of our films... I thought of a book with two shots! ”
"The two versions of "20 Years Old Again", the core of the story is a series of ridiculous stories triggered by the septuagenarian lady Shen Mengjun who transformed into a young woman Meng Lijun through a youth photo studio and returned to daily life with a new identity..."
"Xijie liked this story very much and invested 5 billion won to build..."
"Yes, it was turned on at about the same time, and we found Tang Yan as the protagonist..."
"I'm sorry for Tang Yan, I've signed her for almost three years, and I haven't given any high-quality movie resources, this time "20 Years Old Again" is a script written specifically for her."
"Tang Yan and I are classmates of Chinese opera, the same class, but I am in the drama department, and she is in the acting department!"
"Oh, the release time... The Korean side is indeed a week earlier than us, we will be released on June 9th, just after the end of the college entrance examination, and the college entrance examination in South Korea is in mid-November, so it has no impact..."
"Box office expectations?"
Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "I think 230 million is about the same..."Stone" is 110 million, "Life Events" is 170 million, then according to the equal difference series, "20 years old again" is 230 million..."
"Yes, it's our annual summer appetizer..."
"The director is a rookie director, Taiwanese director Chen Zhengdao, who has filmed "Midsummer Light Year"..."
"The criteria for selecting the director... The main thing is to read his works, and then talk to him, generally speaking, you can know if this person has goods after chatting for three or five sentences..."
"I'm a professional..."
……
Shen Xudong has always answered questions to the media, and it is rare for him to talk about him or the media...
Therefore, generally the publicity of his appearance, the layout does not have to worry!
It must be the front page!
The media invariably focused on the matter of 'one book, two shots', and praised Shen Xudong for opening up a new cooperation model.
And it's a dominant collaboration!
In the past two years, reports about the invasion of the Korean Wave have been reported repeatedly, the ratings of "Dae Changjing" have broken the satellite TV record, a bunch of Korean dramas have been introduced into China, and in terms of music, the Korean idol team has aroused a lot of people's popularity, especially after SJ appeared, Han Geng led SJ to become popular all over the country...
The Korean Wave is coming, and the Korean Wave is threatening.
Otherwise, there is no need for Zhou Jielun to say 'Chinese songs are the most dick when accepting the award!' ’
Now Shen Xudong cooperates with Korean film companies, and is obviously the dominant party, which proves that Chinese films are higher than Korean films?
Anyway, many media have expressed this vaguely...
Several media outlets have reported that "20 Years Old Again" is a continuation of "Crazy Stone" and "Life Events"...
Use the fame of the first two films to promote it...
The focus of "20 Years Old Again" is to mobilize the audience's interest in watching the movie, and in terms of theaters, there is no need to worry at all, there is no opponent in the same schedule... Almost a monopoly.
It's not that there are no new films in the same schedule, in fact, a total of 32 new films were released in June, and most of them have no selling points, "Jingwumen", "Maimaiti's 2008", "Dream Building 2008", "One Man's Olympics" and the like...
Truth be told, not many people want to watch it!
But..."20 Years Old Again" How many people are willing to go to the theater to watch the movie?
After all, it's not been a month since the earthquake...
Thanks to the book friends for the gradual award of the alliance leader...
