Chapter 126: Who's Free to Play with You Words?

Shen Xudong is very busy.

I have to go to the horse farm every day to see my red rabbit, fish in the afternoon when I have time, write scripts and review projects in the evening...

I also have to find time to guide young actresses on their artistic path.

There's no way, it's really that the artistic level of young actresses is too low, and they urgently need guidance.

There are too many of them to keep busy.

As the saying goes, the torch is passed down from generation to generation, and as a senior, you have to have this sense of responsibility!

As an old-timer who has debuted for nearly ten years, Xudong has an iron shoulder and a noble character.

Naturally willing to take on this responsibility!

So, how can Shen Xudong have time to play any word games with others?

Straight to the punch!

As for Yu Dong's mentality, it is easy to understand.

It's out of balance!

Chinese film stakeholders, due to various external reasons, enjoy rewards beyond their ability and contribution, and mistakenly believe that they have earned it back by their ability.

I don't know how it came about, so when I return to normalcy, I will lose it, and my natural mentality will be unbalanced.

The film industry is actually an industry that relies heavily on the people for food, but the vested interests of Chinese films are also one of the most detached and despised industries for the people!

The screenwriter of "North and South" said, 'This is my life, my land'...

I don't feel that the reason why I was complained about was because of the bad writing, but I felt that the audience was troublesome!

Ugly men in ancient costumes have become a topic out of the circle, and the producer of "Jun Jiuling" publicly diss the audience's audience likes the image of a boy who is white and tender, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, but this image does not match the masculine temperament of the character! ’

In fact, there is a category of domestic film works that serve the powerful, as long as they prove that they are useful, and the powerful feel that they are valuable, regardless of the surging floods outside the palace.

Do you dare to give advice?

Direct ban!

It's not bad, at least I didn't get you a paragraph of applauding the American prisoners to show appreciation for the American army's respect for the lives of soldiers...

From all angles, this type of film does meet the needs of all parties, of course, all parties are in addition to the audience...

Ahem...

After posting on Weibo, Shen Xudong continued to chat with Han Yan about "Demon Thieves".

Han Yan asked the question he was most concerned about: "Has the script passed the review?" ”

"Hmm..."

Shen Xudong is not surprised by his problem, the routine of films like "Demon Thieves" is that the behind-the-scenes operators want to do a big thing, generally speaking, big things are usually not legal, once they are legal, there will be no you chasing me, and it will not be exciting!

If you talk about censorship: evil is invincible, and "Demon Thieves" will not be allowed to pass the trial.

Even if you pass the review, you have to add a subtitle or something at the end...

For example, "She Who Disappeared" has subtitles: 'Shen Man was detained by the police for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, illegally invading other people's homes, and illegally detaining her...'

So the villain of "Rogue Troupe" must be more hateful...

Only when the villain has a foothold can the decent approach be forgiven.

In addition, the story has to take place in Hong Kong, Macau and Tokyo!

It can't happen in the mainland anyway...

Now talking about visual effects, according to Shen Xudong's point of view: "This story is too simple, so we must make the pace of the movie super fast, whether it is the lens, scene transitions or language, we can't distract the audience at all, because magic is to quickly change tricks and overshadow your thinking." ”

Han Yan nodded: "Indeed, in the second half of the script, the cool high-IQ crime slowly revealed the face of a typical commercial film - pursuit, speed, robbery... In the last half hour, it stands to reason that it was the moment of "reversal", and it did begin to reverse, ready to confess to the big boss behind the scenes - but after the confession came out, it was not far from what I imagined, and it was a little far-fetched..."

"I can't think of a better way to do this script... At least it's complete! ”

Han Yan 'um', he understood what Shen Xudong meant by completeness - the information revealed in the script was quite fair and equal.

For example, there are too many episodes that hint at the identity of the big boss: the magician who drowned 20 years ago, the name on the box at the end of the garbage escape...

Therefore, this one is passable in suspense - ordinary bad movies don't bother to do this. The rhythm of a bad movie is usually: the first 80 minutes of the film tell you 8% of the facts, the last 20 minutes suddenly tell you the remaining 80%, and the remaining 12% is that the director himself can't figure out what's going on, and thinks he's super awesome and makes a "scared you!" The expression, generally this kind of movie is about 110 minutes, and at the end there are 10 minutes left for the hero and heroine to lyrical...

Han Yan continued: "I always feel a little disobedient! ”

"Disobedience?"

"Yes, the four chosen magicians are too sinister, they don't have the kind of charisma that I think a good magician should have, although they do justice, but they also have personal ambitions, and the whole story, although it is good and grandiose, is based on a man who has been stared at for 18 years by the eye of revenge, this is not a story of pure justice - this is just a "magic show" that uses magic to make others become victims of magic! ”

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Well, because the movie commits a bit of a taboo of traditional reasoning - "the murderer is the police officer in charge of investigating the case." ”

“… Can that be changed? ”

Shen Xudong got up: "Go to the screenwriting studio and talk about the character design again... Now that you have found a problem, of course you have to solve it! ”

“… Will that delay the preparations? ”

"How hard can it be to rewrite a script? Can't figure it out for a week? There will be no delay..."

Han Yan nodded, but did not turn around to leave, Shen Xudong asked him, "What?" Something? ”

“… I bought the rights to the Japanese comic "Gambling Apocalypse" and wanted to adapt it..."

"You can discuss this with Chen Xi, and show it to me after the script is completed..."

"You agree?"

"You see, of course I agree!"

……

Shen Xudong is not a professional manager, he makes movies, and rarely lists box office, commercial development, and profitability evaluation as the most important projects...

Of course, there are also people, you like Ning Hao, Han Yan, including Su Lun, Yin Ruoxin, including Guo Fan, Lu Yang, they come to find them with projects, even if there is a high probability of loss, he will give money and resources!

What is it called?

It's called respect!

There is no shortage of money in the Chinese film market, at least for the next five years, what is lacking is talent, professional talent.

Film is a content industry, and the essence of content is creativity and intuition, and what is most needed for this kind of thing is people who know how to do it.

It's never been something that big data can calculate.

So, talent is important!

Of course, the main project can't be too outrageous, and "Gambling Apocalypse" is actually "Animal World".

This movie is made well, but it's a pity that Li Yifeng was chosen as the protagonist - I want to use the star effect of Xiao Xianrou, the lower limit is guaranteed, but at the same time, the upper limit is also low, because the fan base is limited after all, and even if they brush it twice or three times, they are often just to support their idols, not really how good the movie is.

What?

"Animal World" Li Yifeng performed well...

So what?

acted in a bunch of bad movies, and then accidentally contributed a fairly good movie, and the market had to pay for it?

Why?

So the bad movies he acted in before got a high box office that didn't meet the market, was it returned to the audience?

This is called the compensatory effect of the market!

The solution is very simple, just change the actor, change the powerful, not so fresh meat...

……

Shen Xudong publicly diss Yu Dong on Weibo, how did Yu Dong respond?

Naturally, it was an opportunity to promote "Hedong Lion's Roar 2"...

I also specially thanked Shen Xudong for helping to promote...

Thanks a Der!

Then Tianmei Company did not adjust the file, "Anti-Drug" on August 7, "Wolong" on August 13...
