Chapter 15: The Invitation...

This sentence is a reminder to Feng Xiaogang...

Back then, he rashly joined the debate between Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen, came forward for Shu Qi to scold netizens, and then won the number of Hu Shu Baoya!

Why do you think he's wading through this muddy water?

However, Shen Xudong's words are very right, creators, especially commercial film creators, must rub hot spots and keep up with the times...

Chen Sicheng is very good, he just wants to make money!

I guess I never thought about the Oscars or the Cannes Film Festival, or even the mainstream film festivals in China...

Just want to make money!

Even, he doesn't like foreign audiences at all, he only has mainland audiences in his eyes.

That's good!

Therefore, his films are at least smooth in story, the logic is round in the past, and the actors do not act.

"BJ Love Story" can be seen that the love story of three men and four women in BJ is easy to understand. It integrates the rich second generation, poor North Drift, money worship, idealism, etc., and also adds the bridge sections where the brother robbed the brother's wife, and the brother slept with the woman who loved the brother.

Why did Mozart in Outer Space fail at the box office?

Because the track was chosen wrong - in terms of subject matter, children's fantasy + music dream is a very popular movie genre in the West, and in the mainland, there is actually no box office prospect!

Especially in the music dream genre, the box office of the world's best-selling "Mamma Mia" and "Anne New York Love" is only a few million, and even the box office of "La La Land" is less than 300 million...

In addition, the starring role was chosen wrong, the age is wrong, and it is embarrassing to watch...

The most important thing: Chen Sicheng should not have a childlike heart!

He is not Spielberg, he has no childlike innocence to make this kind of movie, and the market will teach him to be a man.

pulled back, Shen Xudong continued: "Actually, at your age, you can make some movies you like, regardless of the market..."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head: "No, I still have a Taihe people here!" ”

Oh... He still has a company to raise!

Cao Huayi suddenly interjected: "Xudong, have you heard that Guo Jingming is going to make a movie?" ”

“… I've heard..."

Oh, the producer of the first part of "Little Times" is Forbidden City Pictures, that's right, the producer of Feng Xiaogang's "Party A and Party B" back then...

That's why the Beijing circle is tight-lipped about "Little Times"...

Even if Gao Qunshu was crazy and insulting, most of the celebrities in the Beijing circle did not come out to speak - this is very unusual!

Take a look, the planner of "Little Times" is Xu Jianhai, the general manager of Forbidden City Film and Television!

Also a relative of Gao Fenfen...

Well, it's her uncle!

So, of course Shen Xudong knows about "Little Times".

"I heard that Mr. Xu approached your company, but you refused?"

Shen Xudong nodded and said with a smile: "... I don't want to have anything to do with Guo Jingming..."

Pull and step on it again, or fry the CP... It's disgusting to think about.

Cao Huayi thought thoughtfully: "Are you not optimistic that the movie "Little Times" will be a blockbuster? ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "On the contrary... I think as long as Guo Jingming shoots "Little Times", even if it is filmed as a piece of, it will definitely be a hit! ”

"Why?"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "He has tens of millions of fans, and there are even more fans of "Little Times"... Just like "Twilight", it is obviously a bloody polyamorous love, and three films have been filmed, each of which is a special blockbuster... Relying on the support of book lovers! ”

"Then your "33 Days of Broken Love"..."

"It's also..."

Shen Xudong nodded, he did not deny his IP value + the IP value of "33 Days of Broken Love" created a box office record of nearly 50 million on the first day.

Cao Huayi thought for a while: "Then if I invest..."

"Yes, why not do a business that can make money? Besides, if you don't earn this money, someone else will make it! ”

……

Shen Xudong and Guo Jingming are both famous writers born in the 80s, plus a Han Han...

Han Han's sales in recent years have not been good, and he is more of a public knowledge on his blog.

Busy running magazines and giving interviews - I also went to Wanwan to meet the handsome guy of Ma Da!

More of a symbol than a writer ...

Guo Jingming wrote "Little Times", which sold very well, and "The Most" also sold very well...

Although Shen Xudong went to Hollywood, he published two books the year before last - "Hunting", "Burning"...

directly shocked the literary world - the topic selection is sharp, the story is absurd and realistic.

Although he has not published a new book for more than two years, Shen Haobo is more good at doing business, so he directly copied and polished Shen Xudong's blog in the past few years, and made two collections of essays...

Therefore, Shen Xudong has never left the literary world...

Then, a lot of good people think about these three...

Shen Xudong has the largest number of fans and fans, but he is not an opinion leader, and his attitude is vague, so he has not received strong support from a bunch of media, and in terms of influence, he is weaker than Han Han, after all, "New Century Weekly" was selected as "2009 Person of the Year", and "New Century Weekly" issued an initiative of "electing Han Han as mayor" on its cover, which attracted a lot of people to discuss...

Shen Xudong can probably only be a cover character in in-circle magazines such as "Hollywood Reporter" and "Vanity Fair"...

Guo Jingming's popularity is only reflected in his fans!

Therefore, many Guo Jingming fans feel that Shen Xudong should form an alliance with Guo Jingming...

There are even a lot of strange CP combinations ...

Shen Xudong just wanted to say: Don't come to the side!

……

The dinner continued, and the topic of "1942" and "Little Times" ended, and Chen Daoming asked Shen Xudong: "... Do you have any plans for adapting "Hunting" and "Burning"? ”

Shen Xudong didn't think about it, and asked directly: "... Which one does Uncle Chen want to play? ”

"I want to play 'Hunting'!"

“… This requires a director with a strong sense of rhythm... Is it okay to manage the tiger? ”

"He's so busy directing his own films that he doesn't have time..."

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, Ning Hao can also do it, but he will go to Hollywood for half a year next year to study... So be it... How about I choose a new director? ”

“… You don't direct it yourself? ”

"No!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "The box office of "The Grandmaster" is low enough, I can't degenerate anymore... The next movie will have a box office of at least one billion, and the story of "Hunting" is too heavy, and it is difficult to have a high box office! ”

"I've watched "Hunting", it's very interesting..."

“… That year, I searched for criminal experience and inadvertently found several unjust, false and wrongful cases... Then I thought of the story of The Hunt..."

Feng Xiaogang also nodded: "I also read this book, it's very cruel..."

Hearing this, Shen Xudong immediately asked, "Is Director Feng interested?" ”

Feng Xiaogang was a little moved, but hesitated: "... I'm going to shoot... I'm worried..."

Shen Xudong ignored him and took out his mobile phone: "... Let me ask about the jury for next year's Berlinale..."

Feng Xiaogang was puzzled at first: Berlin, the list of the jury? It's... Which one?

Then I thought of something and suddenly got a little excited...

Could it be that Shen Xudong can get through the relationship?

Then I saw Shen Xudong a little regretful and said: "The chairman of the jury is Mike Lee... I don't know this guy, and he's an English director, and he admires Shakespeare in all sorts of ways... I don't think "The Hunt" will win the grand prize..."

Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say, Chen Daoming suddenly spoke: "Xudong, is there public relations behind the award of "The Grandmaster"? ”

"Of course, MK2 got the European screening rights... They helped fight for it, and thanks to a couple of judges..."

"How many?"

Shen Xudong looked taken for granted: "Hmm... I've been in Hollywood for three years, and it's not for nothing! ”
