Shen Xudong didn't think about making movies at the beginning!

He was only going to enter the game in 2012...

What is the situation of domestic films before 2012, the era of blockbusters, the era of big directors, outsiders like him have no chance at all, and it is impossible for them to dominate a movie...

On the one hand, no investor will invest in a pure newcomer, and on the other hand, even if Shen Xudong takes the money to produce it himself, he can't find a company willing to take over the distribution!

The film circle, the reason why it is called a circle, is a circle where contacts and resources are exchanged with each other, no one takes you, you can't even enter the door...

Wang Wei's 2010 production of "A Dog's College Years", the movie was finished, and the distribution company could not be found, so it was not released in theaters at all...

Why is 12 years appropriate?

Because 12 years later, the Chinese film market has risen rapidly, hot money is pouring in, and projects are in urgent need.

The so-called golden age of filmmakers is 12~16 years...

Pull it back, and then Chen Daoming gave it a chance...

""Outstanding Citizen" is completely the bureau of Chen Daoming's teacher's group, and he helped Zhang Luo with the director and actors, including pulling investment, and he also came forward..."

With Chen Daoming's recommendation, Shen Xudong had the opportunity to get acquainted with Gong Li...

There's nothing unseemly about this - the unknown gets to know the big guy, and then with the help of the big guy, he becomes famous, this thing is in line with the characteristics of Shuangwen...

It is also in line with the public's perception.

Lin Chufang wrote these down, and then asked, "That... What has been the most impressive project so far? ”

"I'm "Zhao Zilong 2"...

Gao Fenfen said: "I am "The Legend of the Hunter of Xing'anling"..."

Before Lin Chufang could speak, Shen Xudong asked curiously: "Xing'anling"? How impressed would you be with that movie? ”

"It was our first big-money film, and to be honest, I didn't expect it to be a blockbuster until it was released... But that movie sold more than 40 million at the mainland box office, and more than $10 million was recovered from overseas rights, and since then, I no longer have any doubts about you..."

"What about "Zhao Zilong 2"?"

"It's the same..."

Shen Xudong smiled, turned his head to look at Lin Chufang, and then said: "I'm not so confident in myself, after the project of "Zhao Zilong 2" was established, I was very nervous..."

"You must know that at that time, filmmakers in South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries heard that Andy Lau was no longer acting, and Zhao Zilong's role was changed, and they directly proposed a refund... I'll return it to them... It can be said that the 60 million cost of "Zhao Zilong 2" was all paid by Tianmei Media and Golden Harvest, and Li Rengang also cooperated with Andy Lau in "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor", which is also the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also about Zhao Zilong..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong restrained his smile and his expression became serious: "You can imagine how stressed I was at that time. ”

Lin Chufang interrupted him: "Why did Li Rengang resign from directing "Zhao Zilong 2"? ”

Shen Xudong looked at Gao Fenfen, who said: "Before, I explained to the outside world that 'Li Rengang is a director with ideas and is unwilling to continue filming according to the route we have set', but today I will tell you the truth..."

"You say."

"In fact, several major film companies in Hong Kong want to join forces to strangle Golden Harvest... opened a high price and poached Li Rengang away. ”

"Is that so?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes,"

By the way, I added: "The cost of the first part of "Zhao Zilong" was less than 50 million, and the mainland box office alone made a profit, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia received 16 million US dollars, South Korea and Japan earned 11 million US dollars together with the copyrights, in addition, South America and Europe also collected 8 million US dollars, making crazy money... At that time, many film companies in Hong Kong were red-eyed. ”

"So, they poached Li Rengang?"

"Yes!"

"What about your relationship with the Hong Kong film company?"

Hearing this question, Gao Fenfen couldn't help but sneer: "What can it do?" Hong Kong is a small place, but the people are very xenophobic..."

"So many projects every year?"

"No matter how xenophobic it is, I pay for it, and they do the work for me... Moreover, after the failure of "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor", except for Golden Harvest, they can't find a film company that has the ability to open ten plays a year! ”

Lin Chufang understood, and then asked: "So, Xudong is deeply impressed by "Zhao Zilong 2"?" ”

“… This is not the main reason, the main reason is because the success of "Zhao Zilong 2" made me realize that TiMi is very powerful, and I am also very powerful... Since then, I've been confident in the projects I'm in charge of! Including this "Painted Skin"..."

……

Any interview will end up in the same genre, this promotion.

Shen Xudong is very busy, how can he have time to share his life experience?

The reason for the pronunciation interview must be to promote film and television dramas.

The interview with "Painted Skin" takes up half of the page...

""Painted Skin" was found by Chen Jiashang, and I have always had ideas about the story of Liaozhai, but... You also know that Liaozhai is a collection of horror stories, although it has a warning effect, but... is still mostly terrifying, and the original work of "Painted Skin" is very ironic and the scale is also very large, so what I wanted to do at first was "A Chinese Ghost Story", but Chen Jiashang's "Painted Skin", the target of the monster's murder is Pei Rong, because what the monster wants to take away is love, this is very interesting to say, Pei Rong itself is very beautiful, and has become a charming stunner who is on par with the fox spirit, which fits the mentality of modern men who are difficult to choose when stepping on two boats, with the addition of love triangle, the work can meet the psychological demands of the general public. ”

"So, I'm sure this story can be successful!"

"The small ones do things, the big ones do things, and I'm just doing what I like. So, when the project was put in front of me, I decided to invest in 10 minutes, and I was in charge of the investment! ”

""Painted Skin" can get at least 250 million box office ......"

Shen Xudong pretended to be a quote...

You must pretend to be forced, after so many years of struggle, you are still not allowed to pretend?

But Gao Fenfen is very calm: "After so many years of hard work, it is time for a work with a box office of more than 200 million yuan." ”

Then we talked about the idea of the Chat Zhai series...

According to Shen Xudong, the "Liao Zhai" series is produced by Golden Harvest.

"Planning is planning, it mainly depends on whether the audience eats it or not, and if the audience likes it, we will continue to do it..."

Almost over, Lin Chufang half-jokingly asked a relationship question: "After so many years, Xudong has never been in love?" Mr. Gao doesn't have any thoughts about him? ”

Gao Fenfen shook his head: "No, he is eight years younger than me, and besides, he is very romantic, after I met him, he has no shortage of women... Huan Feiyan is thin, and it has never been broken! ”

"Really?"

Shen Xudong nodded a little embarrassedly: "Yes, in this regard, I want to review..."

"But I haven't heard you've ever made your girlfriend public?"

"I'm not going to make it public, at least not yet!" Shen Xudong shook his head, thought about it, and said seriously: "There are too many temptations in the entertainment industry, and I can't resist the temptation, it is estimated that it will take a few years to grow..."

I was a kid and didn't understand what responsibility was...
