Cheng Long feels that he is not in line with the National Day file...

"New Police Story", "Myth", "Baby Project", including last year's "Xinhai Revolution", were not successful at the box office!

failed to exceed 100 million!

Shen Xudong scoffed at this statement, and Cheng Long was a little anxious: "It's true, my godfather used to tell me that when I was filming, the first one was that I couldn't cut my hair short, and the second was that I couldn't play a role that would die... And then I've been very popular, and I've never had any major incidents! ”

"That's because you have the strength!"

"No, I saw a previous photo two days ago, which was a group photo after I took "Miracle", Guan Haishan, Liu Kexuan, Wang Wei, Dong Bi and me, and now I am the only one alive..."

The circle is very superstitious!

When engaging in large-scale creation, there are many uncertainties in the future, and many changes and unexpected situations are beyond your control.

But... In the past 10 years, almost every movie has worshiped the Quartet and asked the master to count the days, why only a small number of movies have finally made a profit and become famous in film history?

In fact, many people know that whether a movie can be made well, or whether it can be a commercial success, has nothing to do with whether it worships God and believes in God.

So why do so many people still believe in this?

Because... It's okay to say goodbye!

Shen Xudong didn't bother to argue with him, and thought for a while: "... Let's celebrate the New Year..."

"Well, the Chinese New Year stalls are very good!"

……

There is a question: how can Cheng Long create brilliance in the film industry?

In fact... There's no need for it!

It's also unlikely ...

A generation has a generation of glory, Cheng Long has been at the peak, and his peak has been much higher than many of his peers, and it has lasted longer.

As for the matter of creating brilliance again, it depends on what positioning.

If he still wants to create brilliance as an actor, then don't think about it, it's impossible.

After all, Cheng Long's biggest personal label is kung fu comedy, which is composed of three elements: "smooth action + witty figure + desperate stunts"!

When he gets older, he can't play anymore, anything that makes him look like he can play with stand-ins, special effects, or editing...

Moreover, his action style is not very different from Stallone, he is not a hardcore line, he must be silky and dangerous enough!

In fact, you can learn from Nicolas Cage, the whole "The Unbearable Weight of Genius" - the protagonist of the film is Nicolas Cage himself, he is crazy to get a role in Quentin Tarantino's next film, and he often talks to a 90s self in his mind, who constantly complains that he "always picks up bad movies" and "is no longer the movie star of the year".

stuff his classic characters and classic episodes into the entire movie in a half-joking way, achieving a kind of nostalgic empathy that breaks the dimensional wall.

Of course, there is a premise for this: there must be enough bad movie reserves!

And the sentimental card must be played well - the saddest thing about "Dragon Horse Spirit" is that the feelings are not used well.

In addition, the transformation into a producer...

Cheng Long, the producer, has failed too much!

It's too superstitious about traffic...

Cheng Lung himself is the most double standard for this. He can't do this little fresh meat every day, and the traffic star can't endure hardship, the classic saying: "Look at when you're done"...

As a result, I made my own movies and cooperated afterwards with all the traffic...

So, it doesn't matter what a person says, you have to see what he does. Actions speak louder than words.

The ship is in a big trouble and turns around!

Transformation?

Turn around, a coffee as big as Harrison Ford, and when he gets old, he can only pick up the whip again and continue the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, which is the fate of traditional action actors!

……

Nini's brokerage contract was actually signed in Zhang Yi's studio, and the agent's name is Pu Lun...

Pu Lun is not a professional agent, and Yi's studio has not only Nini, but also Zhou Dongyu and Dou Xiao.

In the original time and space, after the two separated, Zhang Yi took the initiative to give up the brokerage contract, and there were countless brokerage companies in the circle that threw olive branches to them.

In the end, Zhou Dongyu chose to stand in line with the old people in the circle, Du Yang, Wang Jinghua and Chen Yan and others. The old rivers and lakes took Zhou Dongyu to tear off the label of a pure jade girl and seek image transformation.

Nini is a bit of a love brain, and chooses to mix career and feelings together, and hand over the brokerage business to her boyfriend's team, led by Feng Shaofeng's agent Liang Yan and propaganda Chen Pu and others, they are a team together...

Then, Nini started the journey of breaking the good cards step by step.

Three years of love is the most critical three years of her career development, and as a result, she showed her love for three years.

In fact, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is not a typical Zhang Yi movie, and Nini is not a complete heroine...

Of course, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" has a good reputation and box office - entering the second week, the daily income of the working day is still around 30 million, today is December 22nd, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was released for 10 days, and the cumulative box office exceeded 400 million, and it is about to enter the second weekend, even if there is "Longmen Flying Armor", it is generally believed that the second weekend of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", that is, 13 days after its release, can collect at least 500 million box office...

As for the final box office, it should be able to exceed 800 million!

Of course, it also depends on the quality of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", if "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" pulls the crotch, it is like "Super Family", which directly sets out "Fengshen" and "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an"...

It's unlikely, after all, Shen Xudong + Xu Ke haven't had a bad movie yet!

Pulled back, at eight o'clock in the morning, Nini arrived at Tianmei Building accompanied by her agent, and the staff took them into the lounge: "Mr. Xudong is having breakfast downstairs, do you want to eat too?" ”

Nini glanced at Pu Lun, who asked, "... Is there coffee? ”

"Of course there is..."

"Let's go have a cup of coffee, too!"

"The restaurant on the second floor is..."

The two got into the elevator, and Nini asked, "What am I going to do later?" ”

“… You don't have to do anything, just follow Xudong's requirements! ”

Seeing that Nini was nervous, Pu Lun comforted: "Let me tell you, casting is based on whether the appearance and temperament are in line with the role, and it is useless for you to prepare anything." Can you change your appearance and temperament by preparation? No. ”

"What about acting?"

"Could it be that Director Yi chose you to play "Thirteen Hairpins" because of your superb acting skills? Can you improve your acting skills by preparation? No. So experienced actors don't prepare, just go on..."

After a pause, Pu Lun added: "Moreover, even if you want to prepare, the crew won't tell you what to prepare, and you don't even know what role you're playing." It's not that the crew doesn't take you seriously, but it's not necessary, if you play for more than ten seconds, the director will know if you can play the role. ”

"You have to understand that film and television performances are not stage dramas, and actors are almost never asked to "shape" a person who is not like themselves in film and television, so the selection of film and television is mainly to see whether the appearance and temperament are in line with the role, and then the acting skills must be qualified. ”

"Then I..."

"Calm down, I heard that Xudong has two alternatives, he must think you are suitable, otherwise, he won't let you come!"

"Oh..."

The two arrived at the restaurant and took a look first, and really saw Shen Xudong... He was having breakfast with Liao Gaoxiang and Zhao Linhai.

The three of them were talking about "Squid Game"...

After this drama was broadcast on HBO, it directly became a phenomenal drama, the first episode received 4.4 million, the second episode soared directly to 5.1 million, and now 10 episodes are broadcast, and the ratings are stable at 8 million...

Become the most watched series on HBO this year!

Don't think that 8 million viewers is low, when the first episode of HBO's "Band of Brothers" aired, there were only 3 million viewers...

It's hard to win the number of viewers on cable stations!

Moreover, the replay viewership is also impressive...

Shen Xudong discussed these with several people, mainly because "Squid Game" was the first American drama in which Zhao Xin served as a producer.

"I heard that a second season has been booked in this show?"

"Hmm... It's already booked. ”

Zhao Linhai suddenly said: "Zhao Xin called me two days ago and said that Zhang Ziyi also wanted to act..."

Shen Xudong immediately asked: "... What did he say? ”

"Zhao Xin said she was too expensive, she couldn't afford it!"

"Haha"

Shen Xudong is happy!

He has always disliked Zhang Ziyi, and feels that she is a B-level actor who has been picked up by S-level resources.

Let's put it this way, she is one of the best resources among Chinese actors, sitting on the time, the 00s, the golden age of film creation. The geographical advantages, the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Europe and the United States, Japan and South Korea, all threw olive branches to her. Renhe, Wang Jiawei, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, Spielberg (producer of "Memoirs of a Geisha"), can be regarded as the top match of the director.

partnered with Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Li Lianlian, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung, Ge You, first-line actors, except for Stephen Chow, none of them were left behind.

As a result, there was no box office at the box office, and there was no international actress.

Zhang Manyu used B-level resources to win S-level results, Gong Li used A-level resources to win S-level results, Zhang Ziyi used all means, squeezed out her expressions, and used the top resources in the Chinese film industry to get B-level results!

That's it, it's embarrassing to do nothing.

"I know you're annoying her!"

"I'm not annoying her, I'm just... Yo, Nini is here! ”

Shen Xudong was about to answer, when he noticed Nini who came to say hello, and immediately changed the topic.

Pu Lun interjected with a smile: "Director, Nini hasn't auditioned, I'm nervous, can you talk about the play?" ”

Shen Xudong was speechless: "You are talking nonsense, Director Zhang told me that he originally selected more than a dozen actresses of Yumo and trained for more than two years before he settled on Nini!" ”

“… That..."

"If she wasn't suitable, I wouldn't let her come..."

Go out for a meal, there's a chapter...
