In fact, Ma Huateng in "Riding the Wind and Waves" is Chi Guoguo's reference to Li Ka-shing in "New Difficult Brothers"...

The core of the two movies is also the same: in fact, it is the story of a father and son reconciliation, the son doesn't look down on Lao Tzu, and by chance the son travels to Lao Tzu's youth, and the two brothers go on an adventure together in secondary school, and finally the son understands his father.

From this point of view, it is indeed 'borrowing'...

"I want to set the story in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the camera looks rainy and rainy, but it has a yellowish green..."

Chen Kexin was noncommittal and asked the question he was most concerned about: "How did you come up with the idea of making such a movie?" ”

"Last year, I looked through the "Studio Diary" I wrote when I was with the group, and mentioned "Riding the Wind and Waves", and I felt really good, so I was ready to do it."

“… Actor, who are you looking for? ”

"An actor in his twenties, he picks a lot of Chinese opera... I'm more worried about the heroine. ”

"What's wrong with the heroine?"

"You have to feel like a girl in a small town..."Speaking of this, Shen Xudong pointed at Reba: "Today's young actresses, the urban taste is too strong..."

Chen Kexin pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How is Ni Ni?" ”

“… If you guide yourself, of course no problem..."

"You're not a director?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I still have a monster movie in my hand..."

Chen Kexin scratched his head: "Then I'll think about it again..."

……

At the end of this topic, Chen Kexin suddenly asked: "Film is never a particularly lucrative industry, and it is not easy to get back to its roots." I'm really curious, how do you succeed every time? ”

Shen Xudong smiled: "First of all, you have to study the audience's preferences, so that the story is interesting, the logic is clear, the rhythm is smooth, and the picture is beautiful, not only the director himself can understand it, but also the ordinary audience..."

"Secondly, commercial films, especially commercial films with a cost of more than 100 million, don't think about private goods, the directors I picked are basically like this, strictly follow the first rule of business is customer first, not what art first, or even self first. I want to make money and word of mouth, and I want to make myself a name for both virtue and art, in this era, what profound and great masterpieces do you expect to make? ”

"And the most important point is to study the policy, study the international situation, keep up with the trend of the times... By the way, take a look at the news! ”

"But you can win a prize too!"

"I won the award because I only thought about myself... And in the past few years, I basically don't make award-winning movies! ”

"But I heard that the screenwriters of "Love" and "Big Buddha" are all you..."

Shen Xudong nodded: "It's me, but I'm too lazy to make a movie like this..."

Chen Kexin sighed, and then talked about "Soy Sauce Garden" - "The Case of the Sauce Garden Husband", Chen Kexin has always wanted to shoot, but has never dared to shoot...

Including "Waiting"...

The play "Waiting" is certainly not judged, this thing is understandable, this is a work of reflection on history, almost pathological and crazy society...

But some people say that "The Case of the Sauce Garden Husband" can't pass the trial because the scale is too big...

All kinds of marketing numbers with rhythm...

It's really hard to understand this kind of thinking, don't you check the information before you write?

"The Case of the Sauce Garden" has a prototype, known as one of the four strange cases of the Republic of China: in 1944, there was a shocking murder and dismemberment case in the Shanghai Sauce Garden, the murderer Zhan Zhou brutally killed her husband, and also unloaded 16 pieces of the body, and this corpse shredding case also shocked the whole Shanghai.

The reason why Zhan Zhoushi was ruthless to her husband was because in addition to cheating, gambling, drug abuse and other vices after marriage, her husband also committed domestic violence against Zhan Zhou's for a long time, which caused her to be unbearable.

This is the first "domestic violence case" in modern China that has attracted social attention, and there has been no concept of "domestic violence" before, some people think that Zhan Zhou should be pardoned, and some people think that the death penalty should be imposed...

A few months after the incident, with the surrender of the Japanese Ben, Lao Jiang granted a nationwide amnesty, and Zhan Zhou's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment: her life was saved.

After Zhan Zhou's release from prison, he had entered the period of New China, and went to the farm in Dafeng, Subei Province to work and reform according to the arrangement, until he regained his freedom after the end of his sentence...

By the way, the later Zhan Zhou got married again, and her husband was found for him by the organization. Her husband knows everything about her. He didn't mind her murderous record, and he even sympathized with her.

Since then, Zhan Zhou never returned to Shanghai, settled in northern Jiangsu and remarried, lived until the 90s, and enjoyed his old age in peace.

What's the problem?

It can be made into a comparison between the old and new eras, and you can even refer to "The White-Haired Girl" to create...

Where is the scale?

The reason why Chen Kexin has not filmed is mainly because he is worried about losing money - the audience is small and the box office is low.

"This kind of large-cost literary film has come to an end, this kind of film with a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, the box office has not increased significantly, but the cost has doubled every year."

Chen Kexin means that he predicts that the box office of "The Case of the Sauce Garden" will be 200 million at most, but he wants to have a full lineup...

became at least 150 million!

Counting on the market, the probability of a return on investment is zero...

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I can let PPTV produce it, and the theater will be released for three days, and if the box office is not good, I will directly launch PPTV..."

"That's... Thank you very much! ”

"It's okay, PPTV needs a lot of exciting movies..."Shen Xudong added: "The heroine uses Chen Hao, and the rest is up to you..."

Chen Kexin originally wanted to object, but when he heard the name, he nodded: "Chen Hao? I've seen her play "Darling", and her acting skills are outstanding! ”

"Well, she is now in a semi-retired state, and she should go to Chinese opera to be a teacher in the second half of the year..."

Chen Kexin was surprised: "Huh? Being a teacher? She's not acting anymore? ”

She said that it is difficult to meet the characters she likes, and "The Case of the Murder of the Husband in the Sauce Garden" should be regarded as the last movie before retirement!

"That's a pity..."Chen Kexin asked again: "Then do you know a suitable actor?" ”

"Zhang Jiayi, Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Songwen are all good... Yu Hewei is the best, Zhang Yimou and I both feel that if there is a role that is uncertain, we will find him... Give him the script, and the rest will be left alone..."

Chen Kexin was surprised: "Really? ”

"Hmm... In case of trouble, it is not up to Hewei, what several directors of our company often say when communicating internally! ”

……

Hotel, Reba's long-awaited art exchange did not come, Shen Xudong sat on the sofa, drinking tea while flipping through books...

The name of the book is "Auspicious Pattern Lotus Building"...

This book is very interesting, it is not a story of a heroic teenager's counterattack, but a story of a person who struggles to survive after a trip through the ghost gate.

The protagonist Li Lianhua, formerly called Li Xiangyi...

Everyone loves and believes in Lee Sang-yi, but at the most critical time, whether it is a friend or a lover, they all betray him.

It took Li Xiangyi three years to recuperate, and it took three years to hate everyone, and finally he finally figured out that instead of returning to Sigumen and taking revenge on the person he once loved as the owner of the door, it was better to live every day of the rest of his life.

Flowers have a reblooming day, people are no longer young, there is no need to grow rich, and peace and happiness are immortals.

This story is just the opposite of "Langya Bang"...

Well, Xudong is accumulating energy, after all, last night's art exchange injected too much energy.

Then Reba took two pajamas and walked over: "Brother, do you think I look good in this or this?" ”

Shen Xudong looked up...
