The award-winning films have one thing in common: poverty drama!

The so-called poverty drama refers to the judgment of people in a desperate situation, showing the absurdity, profundity, rebellion, paradox, complexity and changeability of human nature...

Most of this kind of drama is realism, and the core is also the torrent of life rolling forward, the little people are coerced forward, struggling to maintain the last bit of decency, but the more they struggle, the more embarrassed they become, and finally they fail, without a trace of decency and calmness.

Most of the depictions are marginal characters!

This edge refers to the edge of vision, the edge of resources and rights, not the edge of the number of people - if you really count by the number of people, hundreds of millions of poor people, what kind of edge is it? Tens of millions of rich people are called marginal!

However, Shen Xudong really can't think of a good script.

- If there was a good script that is hard to forget, he would have come up with it a long time ago.

Oh, he knows that "Three Billboards" and "Instant Universe", the problem is that these two movies are not suitable for Chen Hao!

It's annoying...

However, Chen Hao is obviously not in a hurry, she is more interested in Wendi Deng...

To be honest, Shen Xudong admires Deng Wendi, a legendary woman with means, ambition and luck, who climbed out of the bottom and was inspirational.

Step by step, when the junior got a green card, he later poured wine on Mercado, and then married Mercado, the most amazing thing is that she was actually artificially inseminated for the share of property...

If this was a man, it is estimated that he would have been touted as an inspirational emperor a long time ago!

However, she really doesn't have much power...

In addition to being flirtatious, there is nothing in other fields.

Mercado built a platform for her, on which she left nothing but amorous anecdotes!

As for making movies, in addition to "Snow Flower Secret Fan", there is also a "Journey of a Thousand Miles", a work adapted from Lang Lang's autobiography.

But "A Journey of a Thousand Miles" is much more difficult than "Snowflake Secret Fan" - you can't find a publishing company!

Sony, which originally planned to release it, finally gave up and directly stated that there is no plan to release the film for the time being.

Not optimistic about this movie!

Oh, and the movie didn't make it to the end...

As for "Wolverine 2", uh, how do you evaluate it... Probably a good action movie, but definitely not a good X-Men solo movie!

In addition, Shen Xudong thought of something: "According to the setting, "Wolverine 2", Logan's wife is about the same height as him, that is... About 1.8 meters, you are a lot worse! ”

"I didn't want to act in a superhero movie either." Chen Hao waved his hand: "Joseph told me that superhero movies are also a mainstream commercial resource in Hollywood, and many Oscar-level actors want to star... Foreigners like me definitely don't have a chance! ”

"It mainly depends on the character requirements, what if the character is Asian..."

“… How can there be an Asian superhero... Even if there is, it's a villain! ”

"Oh, you also know Fu Manchu?"

“… Of course I do..."

After chatting for a while, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered a movie - "Dear"...

He immediately told Chen Hao about this, and when the latter heard it, he immediately asked: "The theme of abduction?" ”

"Yes!"

"I play the mother who lost her child?"

"No, you play a rural woman who adopts a child..."

Shen Xudong analyzed Li Hongqin's image again.

Li Hongqin is not only a hateful trafficker's wife, but also a great mother figure who persevers, in order to get her daughter back, she fights with reason, and even does not hesitate to commit herself to her fellow workers...

"Her husband is a human trafficker, and in her consciousness, her husband is the sky, and the child is life, so her husband told him that the two dolls were born to him and other women in Shenzhen, and let her raise them, and Hongqin raised the two dolls as her own flesh and blood... Until the child's biological parents came to look for the child, she still didn't want to believe that her husband did such a thing. ”

“… That... According to what you say, Li Hongqin is also very pitiful! ”

"Well, poor and hateful!"

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong remembered something: "... Oh, there's a prototype for this story! ”

"Prototype?"

"Peng Gaofeng's case... You can see, that character of yours is called Gao Yongxia, but she is not pregnant... But this character doesn't mean anything, she took the initiative to report the case..."

"Where?"

"Xuzhou..."

Chen Hao nodded: "Xuzhou..."

"What's wrong? What do you know? ”

"I've heard that they often buy over there..."

Shen Xudong interrupted her: "You said that you heard about it, but there is nothing to confirm!" ”

……

The Shanghai Film Festival continues, the press conferences of major films, the release of film lists of various companies, and various cocktail parties are staged in turn on the west side of the Huangpu River...

Shen Xudong has already left!

He flew directly to the United States to participate in the casting of "The Martian"...

accompanied by Zhong Lifang, Fan Bingbing...

Fan Bingbing is still quite capable - mainly because "The Martian" has great prospects and has attracted an investment of $30 million from Evergrande Film and Television!

It's good, Evergrande has money anyway, and investing in movies is better than building a house!

As for Zhong Lifang, she took "Suit Thug", "Kill the Wolf 2" and..."Bruce Lee and Ip Man" to run for release!

In recent years, American companies have rarely bought Chinese films for distribution, and only the "Crime City" series can still be released in the United States - a small-scale release, and the cumulative box office of the two together exceeded 10 million US dollars...

"Suit Thug" sold well in Cannes, but the North American copyright was not negotiated - the price was too low, and Golden Harvest was unwilling to sell it!

Shen Xudong introduced Lionsgate, New Line and Sony Classics...

Zhong Lifang was chatting with Fan Bingbing: ""Hunting" sold well in Hong Kong, two weeks after its release, the box office was 6 million Hong Kong dollars! ”

“… Is the box office of 6 million Hong Kong dollars also good? ”

“… In the past two years, it has been difficult for pure mainland films to sell well in Hong Kong..."

"Then I can still sell "The Little Thing of First Love" when I watch it?"

“… That's the exception..."After a pause, Zhong Lifang explained: "Historical themes and action movies are okay, but other genres are not, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" only sold less than 6 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" also sold 9 million Hong Kong dollars! ”

Fan Bingbing immediately asked: "Then which movie in Hong Kong is the highest-grossing movie I participated in?" ”

"New Shaolin Temple", Hong Kong sold 23 million Hong Kong dollars..."

"Isn't it Shinjuku Incident?"

"The Shinjuku Incident sold well in the first week, 9 million Hong Kong dollars, and everyone thinks that this movie is at least 30 million... Then the popular boycott of Chenglong broke out, and "Shinjuku Incident" collapsed directly..."

This is true, in the eyes of the Hong Kong media, Cheng Long is a Hong Kong traitor!

"And what was your biggest grossing movie last year?"

"Crime City 2" has a box office of $112 million in Asia!"

"I mean the Hong Kong market..."

Zhong Lifang thought for a while and said, "It should be "Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty", which was sold for 37 million Hong Kong dollars..."

“… So a hit? ”

"The theme of the Three Kingdoms has always been very popular in Hong Kong..."

After chatting for a while, Fan Bingbing looked at Shen Xudong, who was watching the video with headphones next to him, and pushed him: "Xudong..."

"How... What's wrong? ”

Shen Xudong took off his headphones.

"Are you going to the toilet?"

"I didn't," just as he was about to shake his head, Shen Xudong noticed that Fan Xiaopang's expression seemed to mean something, and hurriedly changed his words: "... Walk! ”
