This was a bit ambiguous, and Shen Xudong hurriedly added: "I mean you are mature and feminine, when I first met you, you still drank Wahaha!" ”

Chen Xi interjected: "The first time? When? ”

""Dragon Babu", she played Wang Yuyan, and I was a screenwriter with the group at the time..."

"Then are you two on good terms?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "... She was 15.6 years old at the time... I mainly have a good relationship with Aunt Liu and have had a few meals! ”

"And then?"

“… Later, she collaborated on "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but Aunt Liu didn't like Tang Ren and "Sword and Fairy", and when she was filming "Sword and Fairy", she almost left halfway..."

When it came to her mother, Liu Yifei helped to defend: "Tang Ren was a small company at the time, and the production of "Fairy Sword" was indeed not big, and there were no big stars..."

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, yes, your mother was thinking about Jin Yong's drama at that time..."

“… My mom is good for me too! ”

"Your mother is an outsider at all, she doesn't even have the ability to analyze the script, and she can't tell the difference between good and bad when given resources!" One glance at her, and then the truth: "You too!" ”

Liu Yifei was very unconvinced: "Who can analyze it?" ”

The so-called quality of the director and screenwriter, you can only see from his past works.

Works of art, it can be said that every time is a gamble, especially the kind that is more literary and artistic, commercial films are relatively better, but they are not risk-free.

There has never been an absolutely perfect screenwriting script, and I can't find a director who can always deliver a satisfactory answer with stable performance.

Let me ask, if you are an actor and Brother Chen Kai asks you to act, will you go? What about Zhang Yi? Then do you know whether your final work is "Farewell My Concubine" or "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"? Is it "Red Sorghum" or "The Great Wall"?

But... Find whether your role is right or not, and the actors above the passing line can tell whether they are right or not.

"What you say is not right, as an actor, before taking on a play, you must do psychological construction, the traditional method is to do an "inner monologue": to understand the past and present life of the character you play, figure out how to enter the role, and naturally show the role, if you can't find the role and can't figure out the logic of the character, then this play is useless! ”

“… It's good that I can get the play! ”

……

In fact, the rivers and lakes in the Chinese film circle are not big, and there are only a few factions of people back and forth.

Even fewer have the opportunity to be center stage.

You see, whether it is Zhang Yi or Brother Chen Kai, they are all over seventy years old, and they are still standing in the C position in various activities...

Hollywood's four genius directors are long gone, Martin Scorsese was scolded by the Dutch brother for spraying Marvel, saying that he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour...

Spielberg paid tribute to himself endlessly, from "Ready Player One" to "West Side Story", and then "The House of Dreams", and was sprayed with "imploring these directors to stop this kind of self-biographies, and they were reluctant to cut it after filming, causing the whole film to become very bloated!" ’

As for Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas, they have long since retired, and at most they occasionally tweet to rub the heat or something - when Martin scolded Marvel, Francis Ford Coppola came out to help...

These people are not the center of the stage for a long time!

It can only be said that China's film market looks very large, but there is still very little room for newcomers.

In the past, according to the geographical division, the northwest circle, the Beijing circle or something, later, if you are rich, you are the uncle, who cares which circle you are?

But it's still a distinction between pro-estrangement and proximity.

Therefore, in order to receive a good project, actors must mix in circles and be attached to powerful figures in various circles.

Liu Yifei is considered to be in the mixed Hong Kong circle...

"Hong Kong directors only think about making money!"

"Around 2003, they looked down on the mainland, but the population was large and the market was here, so they came to sell films without sharing accounts with you;

After 2007, the proportion of the mainland film market has increased from 30% to 80%, and he needs to rely on the dock, some rely on Huayi, some rely on Bona, and some rely on China Film. But they just want to make your money in their bones, and the cost of the movie is getting higher and higher. ”

Liu Yifei immediately answered: "What about now?" ”

"Many Hong Kong directors have bypassed Hong Kong film companies and worked directly with the mainland to set up offices in BJ. Our company directly invested in Xu Ke's film studio, and many Hong Kong directors followed suit, Chen Jia went to the light, Liu Weiqiang and Er Dongsheng went to Bona, and several forces were quickly formed. ”

"Hong Kong directors have rich production experience and star resources, and they hold together, but they don't know what mainland audiences like. They took out everything at the bottom of the box and slapped it all over again. For example, "Yangmen Female General", "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", "New Shaolin Temple"... In fact, these plots continue their successful routines and experiences, and a lot of money was invested in filming, but in terms of market feedback, 200 million yuan is a threshold, and mainland audiences still don't accept it... The real hit starts at 300 million, and they can't do it! ”

Hearing this, Chen Xi was curious: "Why?" ”

"Because they don't know mainland audiences, the things they shoot have a sense of distance..."Speaking of this, Shen Xudong glanced at Liu Yifei and said seriously: "Even if there is no "First Love", the box office of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" will not exceed 200 million... 150 million are hanging! ”

Liu Yifei muttered: "... I also want to make a good film, people don't look for me, what can I do? ”

"Why are I looking for you? Do you have a good relationship with them? After a pause, he said: "I really don't understand what your mother thinks, going to Hong Kong to develop and not worship the pier of Golden Harvest..."

"My mom has her own judgment..."

Shen Xudong pursed his lips and stopped talking, Chen Xi hurriedly answered and asked Liu Yifei: "You are looking for me this time, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Oh, I took on your company's project!"

Chen Xi looked at Shen Xudong suspiciously: "Our company's project? ”

"What project?"

"It's called "Tongquetai", I heard that your company cooperated with Changying to create it... Three Kingdoms series. ”

As she spoke, Liu Yifei also took out the script...

Chen Xi subconsciously took the script, with an inexplicable expression: "When did our company make "Tongquetai"? ”

Shen Xudong glanced at her, and the latter immediately handed over the script, he simply flipped through it, and asked casually, "Who talked to you?" ”

"It's the director and screenwriter of this play..."

Shen Xudong finished a quick browsing, and then closed the script: "Is the director's name Zhao Linshan?" ”

"Yes... I used to shoot commercials! ”

"You didn't agree to star, did you?"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I have agreed, I heard that the actor is Zhou Yanfa!" ”

“… Forget it if you agree, this project did find me..."Shen Xudong said to Chen Xi: "Zhao Linshan is Zhao Linhai's cousin... I'm not optimistic about this project... So, I refused! ”

Chen Xi immediately became angry: "You didn't agree, why did he say that this is a Tianmei project?" This is not pulling the banner of tiger skin, it is too shameless! ”

“… You ask Zhao Linhai... Maybe he didn't know either! ”
