Spring Festival stalls, step by step publicity, and then there is no suspense...

Those two works are not on the same level as "The Return of the Great Sage" at all!

As for the production cost, "The Return of the Great Sage" is a real 190 million, and "Havoc in Heaven" says that the cost of 400 million is pure nonsense, the design of the heavenly court is exactly the same as Asgard City in Marvel's "Thor", and the template of the people who apply it is clearly displayed, this thing can be done for a maximum of several million!

With his eyes closed, the blind Ji Ba blows...

I guess it's also for money laundering...

There's definitely money laundering involved – the film and television industry is a good tool for money laundering for some money from unknown sources.

Many film and television drama projects do not have a strict financial management system, and many expenditures are expenditures without (invoicing), and procurement costs are determined by a small number of people. At a cost of 1 million, it is not difficult to make some purchase costs of tens of millions.

That's how Hong Kong movies played back then: first registered a film company, and then invested a lot of money in shooting.

Generally, the production cost of a film may only be about 2 million Hong Kong dollars, but the actual investment can reach tens of millions.

Invite the most well-known celebrities to spend money on venues, costumes, and props with the aim of spending as much "black money" as possible, even if they lose money.

Because of the ability to sell film and television copyrights, overseas remittances from Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Japan and other places have flowed back to the company, turning into so-called legal profits, and "black money" has been bleached like this.

Now, I still follow this routine...

I can only say that I don't understand the development of new tracks, you look at Kuailu, and you innovatively use finance + movies, and quickly circle 400 billion...

Ahem, pull it back...

Regarding this year's Spring Festival stalls, Shen Xudong didn't do nothing, and disclosed the creative ideas of "The Return of the Great Sage" on Weibo:

When I used to read "Journey to the West", I always wondered why Sun Wukong would have such a deep affection for Tang Seng, obviously he was just a mortal monk with the naked eye, you see, as soon as they met, he wronged Sun Wukong, and then he designed to put a tight spell on Sun Wukong...

Moreover, what skills can Tang Seng teach him? Meditate? Chanting? The former Sun Wukong didn't learn, and the latter wasn't interested at all.

Later, I watched "The Poetry of the Three Tibetan Scriptures of the Tang Dynasty", Tang Seng was a practitioner in the third life, and the first two lives were eaten by the Shensha God, which is very clear - the Shensha God is the prototype of the Sha Seng.

Then I thought that Tang Seng was the golden cicada reincarnated in the tenth generation!

Therefore, we set up the relationship between Jiang Liuer and Sun Wukong, Jiang Liuer is Tang Seng...

Then the story of "The Return of the Great Sage" is very simple, we designed two or three different versions of the story, and in the end we still feel that "The Return of the Great Sage" is the most mature from the perspective of genre.

Thank you for liking this story, the next "Great Sage Haunting Heavenly Palace", we will see you in two years for the Spring Festival!

In the comments section below... is basically scolding "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", and they all say that it is just a piece of...

Shen Xudong's happiness these days is basically watching netizens complain about "Havoc in Heaven", originally he was still very restrained and didn't say a word, until he saw a comment 'At the beginning, I saw that the official version of the movie poster didn't even have the name of director Zheng Baorui, so I knew that this film was not much better! ’

Can't help but comment: 'Really? Don't have Zheng Baorui's name? ’

'Not really...'

Fans also uploaded a poster picture, which really doesn't have the director's name.

Shen Xudong commented: "Hong Kong films are still at the level of selling stars and casting lineups in the last century, not that they don't work hard, but that they have formed a path dependence, and it was this set of things that sold films back then..."

This passage is quoted in various ways ...

……

On February 15th, in Beijing, a private restaurant.

This private restaurant is Shen Xudong's industry - to be precise, it belongs to the industry of the horse farm, the horse farm has a plantation park and supplies a large number of vegetables, but this private restaurant is not open to the public, and it is basically a member appointment.

Again, I don't expect this thing to make money!

Shen Xudong has booked a big private room, and there should be a lot of people coming today - the Oscars have just ended, and Zhang Yimou won the best foreign language film with "Love", which can be regarded as completing the 'zero' breakthrough of the Oscar of Chinese films...

Although Zhang Yimou often said in interviews, 'Everyone in the circle knows that the Oscar is just an American award, just an American judging standard, unlike other film festivals, it does not represent the highest artistic standard...'

But he also said: 'I have the impression that, judging from the road I have walked, more than 20 years ago, it was already great for Chinese to win a foreign award, like "Red Sorghum", which made the whole country discuss... But in the past ten years, the Chinese have won almost all kinds of large and small film awards. Whether it is the three major film festivals, the five major film festivals, or the eight major film festivals, the award-winning complex Chinese is basically over, and it can be said that there is no other film festival complex now, and only the Oscars are left...'

shows that he still has an Oscar plot!

In fact, the most exciting fifth generation is not "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but "The Last Emperor" - from the "Last Emperor", which was written and directed by Chinese BJ as its historical and cultural background, won the Best Film Award at the Oscars, Chinese film culture finally has the opportunity to win the Oscars and attract the attention of film professionals around the world.

Set off a heat wave for Chinese directors to enter the Oscars...

Of course, Li Amine's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has indeed stimulated mainland directors - the Kodak Theater!

After meeting, of course Shen Xudong wanted to congratulate Lao Mouzi on getting his wish and returning with honor...

Ah Mou waved his hand, he didn't want to talk about this at all, and said directly: "I like "Burning" very much, and "Parasitic Upperclass" I think it's also good, I want both scripts!" ”

Shen Xudong was a little embarrassed: "I'm going to direct "Burning" myself..."

"You're going to make a genre film?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I'm going to shoot according to the pattern of prose, leave more blank..."

Zhang Yi nodded: "... Good idea..."

"Actually, "Parasitic Upperclass" is a little more typical..."

"Indeed, its dramatization is more obvious, the pace is fast, the purpose is clear, the character design and plot setting are all about rushing to the final climax..."

"It's perfect for the prize... I'm ready to run the Oscars! ”

Zhang Yimou was puzzled: "Or the best foreign language film?" ”

"No, this time it's the best picture..."

"There is no precedent..."

"There is no precedent, let the Oscars set a precedent..."Speaking of this, Shen Xudong waved his hand: "The movie will be handed over to you, and the rest will be left to me!" ”

Zhang Yimou smmed for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "I heard them say that the company gave me a bonus of 50 million?" ”

"It's not a bonus, it's a bonus..."Shen Xudong scratched his head: "It seems to be a dividend to the studio, I can't tell you the specifics, I listen to the finance, it seems that there is this item in the contract when I signed the contract..."

"The contract has this?"

"There should be... The overseas accounts of our films are basically five or five points with the studio, and the overseas copyrights of the two films "Big Buddha" and "Love" are selling well... Chen Xi is here, you can ask her for details..."

Chen Xi did come, and brought Reba with him...

Ah Mou was also embarrassed to ask about the money in front of Reba.

It's not that he doesn't love money, but he is mainly worried about being criticized...
