Chapter 21: Acting in a Play?
Shen Xudong's live-action animation synthesis is defined according to the noun: animation is combined with other types of films, and is not in a secondary and auxiliary position.
Typical ones are the American movie "Roger Rabbit" and the Czech movie "Alice's Wonderland".
Hong Kong films also have "Old Master"...
In 07, a "The Secret of the Treasure Gourd" was released in the mainland, which was a precedent for live-action animated composite films in the mainland, and the most influential was of course "Yangtze River No. 7" released in 2008...
However, these films are inseparable from the phenomenon of young audiences, or their own positioning is to have the intention of targeting young age audiences.
Until "Monster Hunt" was born!
Shen Xudong is talking about "Monster Hunt"...
The movie "Monster Hunt" is very good from the positioning: a family fantasy movie!
This vacancy was filled.
It's just that Wang Changtian obviously has no interest in this genre...
It is understandable that on the one hand, the development cycle is too long, and on the other hand, it doesn't look like a big sell...
Shen Xudong didn't say more, and soon, the topic came to the second season of "The Voice of China" and talked about variety shows...
"The Voice" and "Let's Run", two phenomenal variety shows, directly made Tianmei Entertainment's name famous, and naturally there are many imitators.
Guangguang has cooperated with CCTV in two variety shows, "Young China Strong" and "Rising Star"... The latter translates as "China is Listening"...
Shen Xudong has no impression of these two variety shows!
I guess it's hit the street.
However, when it comes to program production, Shen Xudong mentioned "Screening Room".
"At the beginning of this show, I thought about finding light..."
"Why didn't you look for it?"
"You were doing "Entertainment Live" and "Entertainment Reporting" at the time, so it's unlikely that you would take "The Screening Room" seriously... And we met Director Liu Chun of Phoenix Channel under the recommendation of Senior Brother Shi Hang, who liked "Screening Room" very much and offered a high price..."
"We really didn't dare to risk a new show... After I resigned from the TV station..."
When you eat with old men or successful people, you will definitely talk about entrepreneurial experience!
Wang Changtian previously did "BJ Express" on BJ TV, and the program was quite successful, because he was forced to leave his job because of reporting on something that could not be mentioned, and established the Guangguang TV Planning and Research Center...
It was also a coincidence that the official issued Document No. 82 the following year, which began to allow TV stations to "separate production and broadcasting".
Wang Changtian used entertainment news as the entry point and quickly produced the program "China Entertainment Report"; Two months later, "China Entertainment Report" was successfully broadcast on Hunan TV Life Channel; Three months later, "China Entertainment Report" covered more than 50 provincial and municipal TV stations...
Once you get started, the rest falls into place...
……
Nazha didn't take the initiative to bring the topic during the whole process...
Well, basically no talking.
Basically, Shen Xudong and Wang Changtian are chatting, and Cao Huayi occasionally interjects...
Wang Changtian liked this atmosphere very much, unconsciously drank too much, chatted, and complained about the wine culture of the Huayi brothers: "I have seen the Wang brothers on many occasions, and almost every time we meet, there is a female companion... And it's a different female companion! ”
"The Wang brothers continue the Manchu set of things... The company is operated as a theater garden. ”
"So, they prefer to spend energy on celebrities..."
Shen Xudong interjected: "The main reason why I don't like them is not this..."
"That's because?"
"I don't think they will look at you levelly, to put it mildly, I feel that their attitude towards people is either I lick you, or you lick me, there is no median!"
"Divide people into classes?"
“… Almost. ”
After chatting for a while, it was almost time to end the meal, Wang Changtian sighed and asked Shen Xudong a question: "Is "Painted Wall" really bad?" ”
"Hmm..."Shen Xudong nodded: "Aside from the messy character modeling, the plot is not bad, the times have changed, and the audience is unlikely to believe this kind of thing when you go to the kiln to find out the true meaning." ”
"Nothing to be desired?"
"No, the story framework itself isn't bad..."
"Painting Wall", in fact, is very similar to "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", a scholar enters the world of murals...
changed the scholar's lewd dream journey to an exploration of love.
In the movie, the world of the wall is ruled by an old fairy, this is an old woman who has been hurt by love, and every day she lets other fairies fall under the waterfall, praise the world in the painting, sing and dance, and enjoy herself, by the way, she also reminds them that 'men are not good things, be vigilant... If a fairy is slightly disobedient, she will be dragged out by the left and right protectors of the aunt's world to teach a lesson. ’
Jurdan finds true love in the world of paintings...
Cao Huayi was speechless: "What's the use of talking about this now?" ”
"Sum up the lessons and learn from the experience!"
Hearing this, Shen Xudong remembered something: "Mr. Wang... What is the box office expectation of "The Painted Wall"? ”
Wang Changtian said: "About 100 million..."
A hundred million or so, and now... has almost become a model of bad movies...
The five-day box office is 24 million...
No salvation!
"The Legend of the White Snake" has been released, accounting for 35% of the film schedule on the first day, the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" firmly occupies 38% of the film schedule, and the film schedule of "Painted Wall" is on par with "Xinhai Revolution", only about 10%...
Oh, there is also a "Xinhai Revolution" in the National Day file, Cheng Long, Li Lianhua, Brother Hu, Chen Chong...
Judging from the star lineup, it is a low-profile version of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", and it also focuses on the promotion of Chenglong's 100th movie.
It's a pity that the box office is not good!
In fact, it's normal, many people comment that this movie is used to curry favor with Bend...
Pulling it back, Shen Xudong thought about it and asked Wang Changtian: "Do you know the story of the eldest and the second brother fighting and the third disappearing?" ”
Wang Changtian immediately understood: "What do you mean..."
"Yes..."
"But the propaganda resources to be consumed..."
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "It's noisy on Weibo... You asked the publicity team under your command to tear up the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" directly on Weibo, and I asked my company's publicity department to fight back..."
"That's... How does it end? ”
"It's almost time, let's post a Weibo apology to each other..."
Wang Changtian was about to nod, but Cao Huayi interjected: "This is okay, netizens like to watch this!" ”
Shen Xudong offered his farewell: "Hmm... Then I'll go back first..."
"Do you want me to call someone to send you?"
"No, I didn't drink!" The moment he turned around to leave, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "Uncle Cao, has the script of "Parents' Love" been completed?" ”
"Almost... The problem now is that Zheng Xiaolong is not available to direct, and Jiang Wen is also busy directing new movies..."
"Then let Kong Sheng try, it just so happens that he has filmed two anti-Japanese war dramas, and he needs to take it slowly..."
“… I'll contact him tomorrow! ”
……
Kong Sheng directed two of Lan Xiaolong's works in a row, "Life and Death", "Good Guys"...
Physically and mentally exhausted, come to a warm "Parents' Love" at this time to change your mood.
As mentioned above, in recent years, Tianmei Media and Xinli Media have cooperated in many TV drama projects, and "Parents Love" certainly belongs to it...
As for Naza, she was a little confused.
Why is it so friendly all of a sudden?
Also proposed to propose to play with each other?
Is this necessary?
