Chapter Ninety-Seven: "Sword and Fairy III" Casting...
In fact, it is rare for the film market to go head-to-head.
After all, movies are made with money, so why are you doing it?
Therefore, it is very rare for Yu Dong to knock Zhang Weiping to death - "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" VS "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"...
According to Yu Dong's words afterwards: Have you ever seen "Batman" and "Spider-Man" released on the same day? Why can the six major companies in the United States sit down and negotiate the schedule, and Chinese films will produce two blockbusters, so they have to kill each other and the whole world will watch jokes? The two heavyweight blockbusters bloomed on the same day, and there were no winners, both of them were strategies for the sake of fighting for breath.
Therefore, Shen Xudong adopted a strategy of encirclement and suppression.
One front and one back...
But... The market activity period of a movie should be about 30 days, generally speaking, the first two weeks get 80% of the box office, and the next two weeks get 20%...
The higher the quality, the more stamina.
Especially the crime genre!
"The Tuner" is one of the most powerful movies - high quality.
Therefore, taking it against "Red Cliff" (below), Chen Xi is reluctant...
Shen Xudong hesitated for a while, and then said, "The other movies are not enough... You can rest assured, even if it is "Red Cliff", "Tuner" has steadily exceeded 100 million! ”
"That's Ning Hao, our first director..."Chen Xi still shook his head, and then suggested: "I have two batches of films in my hand that have been reviewed, namely "Robot Story" and "Twilight"..."
Shen Xudong was quite surprised: ""Twilight" has passed the trial? There's a vampire! ”
Chen Xi didn't speak, and looked at Gao Fenfen, who smiled but didn't say anything, hiding his merit and fame...
Shen Xudong gave her a thumbs up, and then said, "That... Let's get on Robot Story..."
"Why not Twilight?"
"Have you watched Twilight?"
"Look..."
"How does it feel?"
"The picture is cold, the special effects are good, the actors..."
Shen Xudong couldn't listen anymore: "Tell the truth! ”
Chen Xi licked his lips and said honestly: "... It's terrible... I feel like it's a Mary Sue drama... In the early years, Qiong Yao's movies were basically this kind of thing..."
"yes, you feel bad, then the audience must have a similar idea..."
Chen Xi was curious: "... So why is "Twilight" so popular? ”
"Because it has tens of millions of readers... This is a fan-oriented work, and our audience is not its fans, so we can definitely evaluate it objectively..."
Chen Xi nodded: "Okay then, just use "Robot Story"..."
"Hmm... You look at the arrangement. Shen Xudong changed the subject: "I'll go to Shanghai tomorrow..."
"What's wrong?"
Shen Xudong explained: "My previous assistant was bullied, and I went to help her get ahead..."
"Assistant? That Zhang Xi? ”
"Yes, she has changed her name to Zhang Zhixi now..."
"You're in touch with her?"
"Of course," Shen Xudong looked at Gao Fenfen: "I am very affectionate, even if it is a former assistant, I keep in touch!" ”
Gao Fenfen sneered: "She's living well!" ”
"What are you talking about, I'll talk to her...", subconsciously retorted, and then realized that this was all my own person, and there was no need to pretend: "Okay, it's really good!" Unforgettable! ”
Gao Fenfen spat directly: "Phew, it's shameless!" ”
Chen Xi also said: "That's it, you made me completely disappointed in love!" ”
Shen Xudong is also single: "I'm in the entertainment industry, no matter how much I believe in love, how can those female stars find a chance to get ahead?"
Gao Fenfen waved his hand and returned to the topic: "... What happened to her? ”
"I don't know, I didn't ask specifically."
Chen Xi thought for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Go to Shanghai... Is it because of the casting of "Sword and Fairy III"? ”
“… You know? ”
Chen Xi: "Of course I know, I also know that her role has been replaced..."
"Hmm... said that she would play the heroine, but after two days of filming, she suddenly found another person..."Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly realized something: """Sword and Fairy III"? The heroine seems to have chosen Yang Mi? ”
"It's good that you know... Yang Mi plays the female number one, or did you propose it! ”
“… That... I'm not going? ”
"Didn't you say yes?"
"Then let me ask specifically."
……
TiMi has actually always had the idea of acquiring Tang Ren, but... Cai Yinong is reluctant to work for others.
Moreover, Tang Ren has good works born every year, has a lot of relationships with many TV stations, and the cash flow reserves in his hands are also quite good...
In recent years, Tang Ren's works have basically been co-produced with TiMi, whether it is a movie or a TV series.
But in the "Sword and Fairy" series, they must do it themselves.
That's right, Tang Ren is ready to shoot "Sword and Fairy III".
Why don't you make "Sword and Fairy II"?
The storytelling is so bad!
Actually,Fairy Sword II is a semi-finished game,Although the suspense clues in the first half are stacked very well,But because of some management reasons of BJ Soft Star,In the end, the game had to end development and sales in advance,So you can feel very obvious traces of rush in the second half of the plot...
Although there is a plot blueprint there, you can shoot a TV series if you really want to, but other people's TV series are aimed at these game fans, would you choose to shoot a game with few fans, a semi-finished product with half of the plot written or a finished product with a classic plot?
I'd choose the latter anyway.
Tang Ren is the same, he chose "Sword and Fairy III"...
Oh, this time they didn't ask Shen Xudong to be a screenwriter...
What are you kidding, "Sword and Fairy III" asked Shen Xudong to be the screenwriter?
Do you know Shen Xudong's worth?
Even if he agreed, Tang Ren couldn't afford this price.
Anyway, Cai Yinong thought so, and then Tianmei Company, to be precise, Chen Xi and Zhong Lifang came to the door and took the initiative to send out an invitation for cooperation.
Cai Yinong did not refuse - because, once they cooperated, Shen Xudong would be the art director of "Sword and Fairy III".
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Shen Xudong is not only a gold medal producer, he is also the screenwriter of the first part of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
If he is the art director of "Sword and Fairy III", even if it is just a name, this film can sell for a sky-high price.
Zhang Xi is Tang Ren's contracted actress, and Cai Yinong is quite optimistic about her, so "Sword and Fairy III" directly asked her to play the female number one Tang Xuejian.
The character modeling, posters and so on were all filmed, and then several directors found that she couldn't play Tang Xuejian.
Tang Xue saw that this character had a lively personality and was eccentric...
Zhang Xi can't act, so she is not suitable for making big expressions.
Then, Cai Yinong called Shen Xudong, who recommended Yang Mi.
I don't know that there is anything about Zhang Xi here, he only knows that Tang Yan is unlikely to go to the crew of "Sword and Fairy III" - nonsense, people are now the heroine of the box office with 200 million, and the new generation of first sister promoted by Tianmei is all top-level resources, and if she doesn't accept good works, she will play an ancient puppet?
Oh, the ancient puppets at this stage are despised by people, not considered mainstream resources, just soap operas.
pulled back, Shen Xudong contacted Zhang Xi: "I remember that there is another Zixuan, you can try it..."
"Then my heroine is gone?"
“… If it's gone, it's gone, so what can you do, you're really not suitable! ”
