Shen Xudong will pay New Year's greetings to Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli, and Feng Xiaogang every year...

After all, in the initial stage, these people really helped him a lot!

Including Cao Huayi, Lv Haiyan...

The investor of the first drama "Outstanding Citizen" is Zhongsheng Spring and Autumn Film and Television Company, the boss is Hai Yan, and the general manager of Cao Huayisi, although everyone invested money in Chen Daoming's face, but... The second drama "The Aviator" is exclusively produced by Zhongsheng Spring and Autumn Film and Television Company.

Besides, he's a new talker in the Beijing circle...

Well, at this stage, the so-called Beijing circle has long ceased to have the lofty status it used to be.

In that era, Hutong children and rural children basically had no chance to enter the literary and artistic circle, and the literary and artistic circle was almost all in the courtyard when "father passed on from son to son".

BJ is also because it is the best place, the Beijing circle almost monopolized all the era of literary and artistic creation, before the reform and opening up period, until the mid-90s, basically held the bull's ear of Chinese literature and art.

The Beijing circle was the first to come into contact with Western ideas, and they had special cultural advantages and were easily receptive to foreign cultures.

Can you deny Cui Jian's "Eggs Under the Red Flag"? Can you refuse "No Thieves in the World" at that time? Do you hate Jiang Wen?

At that time, they had the advantage of being talented, but now that the development level of other regions has risen, they naturally have no advantage.

In particular, if they are still like some associations, they can only decline.

After the new century, all kinds of capital have poured into the literary and artistic market, literature and art have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, various film and television art academies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, various talent shows have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and online literature and art have further prospered.

Even many people who are not from professional classes can also enter the literary circle, such as a bunch of grassroots brought out by fast men and supergirls, which had never had the opportunity to be on the screen or screen before.

Grassroots writers from all over the world have also grown savagely on the Internet, instead of entering Beijing to seek fame, and the Beijing circle is finally no longer the trust that monopolizes the literary and art market.

After the advent of the Internet era, the difficulty and threshold of knowledge acquisition have been greatly reduced, the information cocoon has been basically broken, and the group of people in the Beijing circle have lost their knowledge interception ability and monopoly of discourse.

The Beijing circle has relied on the set of characters that rely on the imported culture, the concept of comprador petty bourgeois life, the image of the gangsters and ruffians in the big courtyard, and the unconventional viewpoint, which can no longer meet the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the people, and is already the dregs of history.

Pull it back, in fact, Shen Xudong is not considered in the Beijing circle, he is similar to Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen's debut film "Sunny Day" was completely filmed by the Beijing circle team, and later, starting from the second work "The Devil is Coming", at least in terms of creation, has gradually separated from the group of people in the Beijing circle.

Shen Xudong is the same, in addition to "Struggle", he doesn't do much so-called Beijing-style literature, the works produced by Tianmei Company, and the use of status actors, all kinds of things, but there is one point, they are basically from professional colleges.

To put it bluntly, he has long been out of the so-called Beijing circle...

But there should be respect, there must still be there!

It's a year before the first month.

……

Chen Daoming organized a family banquet, which was not a family banquet, and he should have called friends for dinner.

Uncle Ge, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Guoli are all here, and of course Shen Xudong is also there.

A few guys first reminisced about the past, and then chatted about three movies in a row that broke one billion...

Feng Xiaogang said: "Tang Detective" is almost 1.5 billion, right?"

Shen Xudong replied very seriously: "... It is estimated that it will not reach 1.5 billion, and the March schedule has always been very cold... And there are too many follow-up movies released! ”

"It's better than Avatar..."

"It's mainly taking advantage of the schedule..."

Zhang Guoli shook his head: "Hua Yi also made a "Village Evening", and the box office was only more than 10 million..."

"From now on, celebrities don't mean blockbusters!"

"Mainly because the movie is so bad..."

"Getting Better and Better Village Evening", following the example of Hong Kong films for the New Year, gathered a large number of stars, and the main story is to hold a village evening...

It is purely 'borrowed' from Huang Baiming's Chinese New Year film, but the star lineup of "Village Evening" is even stronger...

But... It's useless, because the film is so bad!

The audience is also not interested in this type of film...

"Now is indeed the era of young people, or rather, the audience will always be young people! Every creator has a contemporary nature! ”

"Overall, the film environment is good now. Unlike in our era, film directors are always controlled by a few old gentlemen, and new directors, even if you are Zhang Yi, have to stay in the studio for ten years! ”

"Therefore, Xudong still has the ability to give new directors opportunities from the beginning..."

"Nope..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I actually can't help it, I do all genre films, the older generation of directors don't understand these very well, but the directors in Hong Kong do, but they need money and can't raise them... I can only find a new director..."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head: "The audience doesn't care about this..."

"No, director Akira Kurosawa finished filming "Redbeard" that year, the company went bankrupt, and borrowed loan sharks to shoot "Tram Mania", but the box office still failed, the loan sharks couldn't pay it back, the profits rolled, he couldn't breathe, cut his wrists and committed suicide, but fortunately he was rescued. At that time, many viewers and directors who thought they were new were pretending to sigh for him and grieve for him! ”

"But then he was selected by the Soviet Union to shoot "Desuuzara", and even won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and then he won the Cannes Palme d'Or for "Shadow Warrior"!"

"I have always believed that the quality of a movie has nothing to do with the size of the investment, the size of the pattern, or the size of the story. Whether a film director is excellent or not should not be measured by whether it is old or new! I promote newcomers because I have always believed that it is a good phenomenon to produce talents, but old directors also have their own feelings and pursuits! ”

"So, you helped Zhang Yi write several scripts?"

“… I didn't write a few, it's basically collected, and it's not specially prepared for him, it's not the company he signed for..."Shen Xudong shrugged: "Just show it to him, he likes it very much..."

Chen Daoming interjected: "That "Love", I heard that it was originally an English script..."

"Yes, the theme is about gentle killing..."Shen Xudong roughly talked about the plot, and then said: "I originally wanted to find a European director to direct, Director Zhang is very interested... Just give it to him! ”

"Nineteen Forty-Two... I still can't figure it out, this movie is not bad..."

"Then "The Shawshank Redemption" is not bad..."Shen Xudong said very seriously: "The mainstream audience at this stage is all post-85s and post-90s, and they are not interested in reflecting on history... And the evaluation of a movie should not be simply evaluated by the box office..."

"I just feel aggrieved..."

"1942" not only failed at the box office, but also had a bad reputation...

Five more is a bit hanging...

I tried my best!
