Chapter 57: Really exquisite
After chatting for a while, Shen Xudong sent them away.
Oh, Chen Sicheng said that the "BJ Love Story" in his setting wants to use the love stories of five pairs of lovers of different ages to tell the fable of a person's lifelong love, showing love in all ages and in all directions.
Shen Xudong... It doesn't matter, just tell him: "You can do whatever you want, you are the chief director!" ”
Chen Sicheng has a beep, he is different from the older generation of filmmakers, he belongs to the market!
The popularity of the older generation of directors is not based on the box office, but on winning awards, and it is not a way to please the public, and the path dependence is difficult to change.
Zhang Yimou, Brother Chen Kai, and Jiang Wen are all like this!
"Let the Bullets Fly" has a wide audience, mainly relying on humor, even if there are so-called profound metaphors or thoughts, it does not affect the public to watch it as a comedy, it is quite enjoyable, and the part that the public talks about is the joke inside.
Profound is used to applaud, funny is used to sell out, and the box office harvest relies on fun rather than advanced art.
As for Director Feng...
Probably because I made too many commercial films, I wanted to be elegant, I thought about art, and I started the journey of pretending...
As a result, the pretense was unsuccessful ...
Chen Sicheng has no idea of self-expression for the time being...
He is more like a businessman than a film artist, in fact, many people who engage in movies in China are not actually art first, but the art of "foreigners" first...
……
The Chinese New Year file is still in full swing, after the release of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", the market response is very good, the box office on the next day was 41 million, and on the third day, that is, on December 25, the single daily revenue exceeded 46 million...
The box office exceeded 100 million in three days!
"Thirteen Hairpins" was naturally affected, but... The impact is not big, after all, the reputation is good, and the theater chain is willing to schedule films...
In the two days of Christmas, the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" was 65 million, and the total box office exceeded 500 million!
Xu Jinglei's "Intimate Enemy" is quite miserable, under the attack of the two blockbusters, the film scheduling and media publicity are at a disadvantage, three days after its release, the box office has not reached 20 million...
It is estimated that it is unlikely to break 100 million!
In addition, "Speed Angel" was also released, and Tang Wei appeared on the screen again...
However, in this time and space, Tang Wei is unlikely to become popular - "BJ Meets Seattle" has been cut off by Shen Xudong, and he is ready to play Yang for fans...
Fan Yang, whether it is appearance or temperament, is obviously more suitable than Tang Wei to play the junior!
Oh, yesterday, Shen Xudong went to Hong Kong, he was going to transfer from Hong Kong to Bangkok, mainly to discuss the development of PPTV with Zhong Lifang...
When he woke up in the morning, Shen Xudong was a little confused...
It's really confused, he's... It's awakened...
He also knows the person who contains him, and he knows him very well - Yang Tianbao!
He is obviously here to talk about work, why will Yang Tianbao appear?
None of them are a company...
Besides, isn't Tianbao getting along with Brother Xiaoming, I... It's so immoral!
But... Let her stop, and I'm sorry for myself... I'm also sorry for Tempo's hard work...
Noticing Shen Xudong looking up, Yang Tianbao kept his mouth shut: "Are you awake..."
“… Well... How did you end up here? ”
"I took you back to the hotel, you don't remember... Let's not talk about it, I'll sit down! ”
Shen Xudong subconsciously cooperated...
Morning exercise is actually the best way to lose fat, because it is fasting, the blood sugar and insulin levels in the human body are low, mainly to burn fat as energy, which helps to lose weight...
……
After the exercise, Shen Xudong watched Tianbao take a pill before going to wash...
The brain gradually sobered up, yesterday Huang Baiming was hospitable, and specially called Shi Nansheng, the three of them chatted about the new art city, Huang Baiming mentioned that the "007" series can endure, why is it not possible to benchmark "007" against "Best Partner"...
Of course Shen Xudong knows, because the IP of "Best Partner" has been abolished!
In 97, the classic series IP of "Best Partner" fell into the hands of Qian Jiale. And Qian Jiale, who sat in the director's position for the first time, also brought together a group of big names to shoot "Best Partner: Drunken Street Partner".
"Best Partner: Drunken Street Partner" is actually the sixth "Best Partner", and it has been 8 years since the previous one, that is, "The New Best Partner" in 1989.
In the past 8 years, "bald guy" Mai Jia and "King Kong" Xu Guanjie have faded out of the film industry one after another.
Qian Jiale decided to let Tony Leung and Alan Tam, replace Mak and Xu, to become the new "best partner" candidates.
Since the actors have been changed, the mode of the story has also been changed. In the previous 5 "Best Partners", it has always been the thief "King Kong" and the detective "Mai Jia" teaming up to solve strange cases repeatedly. And this "Best Partner: Drunken Street Partner" shows us a "story of gang fighting".
Then, the IP of "Best Partner" was completely destroyed, and both word-of-mouth and box office declined, and this "Best Partner: Drunken Street Partner" also became the last sequel to the "Best Partner" series.
After "Best Partner: Drunk Street Partner", Qian Jiale served as the director of the movie "No Problem 2" with the support of Sammo Hung .
The dismal results after the release of "No Problem 2" made the "No Problem" series stop there.
The successive failures of the two works made Qian Jiale, the "sequel terminator", realize his lack of ability in directing.
After "No Problem 2", Qian Jiale returned to the position of action director and gave up his career as a director.
However, Golden Harvest has always supported him very much, and has cooperated in "Fighting in the Ring", "Gladiatorial Fight at the Funeral", "Goodbye Crazy Boy", and this year there is also a "The Heyday of Crazy Boy", which should be released in the mainland...
Pull it back, "Best Partner"...
Shen Xudong is actually not sure to bring this IP back to life...
However, he agreed that he could try, and then Huang Baiming called Wu Qianyu and Yang Tianbao - they are still actors under Oriental Film, but next year, Yang Tianbao should go north.
It stands to reason that Yang Tianbao can't come at all!
She had already caught up with Brother Xiaoming, but she still came, and took the initiative to send Shen Xudong back to the hotel...
Oh, Shen Xudong was happy for a while, drank two glasses of red wine, and then fainted.
It's a fragment record!
……
"I'm on my afternoon flight to Bangkok!"
"Is it a new movie?"
"Hmm..."
In the restaurant, Shen Xudong chatted with Tianbao normally while eating, and by the way, he cared about her career: "I heard that you are going to sign a contract with Huayi?" ”
"Well, Brother Xiao Ming introduced..."Yang Tianbao was very happy: "I can make a lot of money soon... I owe you money and I can pay it back to you! ”
“… I'm not short of money," Shen Xudong shrugged: "I never plan to take back the money I lent!" ”
Tianbao also borrowed his money, bought a house, has to repay the mortgage, Hong Kong's housing prices are too high, the mortgage is also very high, the star's profession is unstable, Yang Tianbao is a newcomer, often short of money, Shen Xudong simply lent her 3 million Hong Kong dollars...
"Then I'll pay it back..."
"If you have money, let's talk about it..."
Shen Xudong replied casually, and then noticed that Tianbao seemed to have something to say, so he asked directly, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Yang Tianbao said: "I heard that your company is going to do a reality show, can I join?" ”
"Reality TV? What reality show? ”
"It seems to be called "Let's Cross", I heard that Brother Xiaoming was invited..."
Shen Xudong was puzzled and took out his mobile phone: "I'll ask them... The company that produces variety shows is called TiMi Entertainment, which is our subsidiary, and I generally don't care much about that..."
