Shen Xudong has always wanted to restart martial arts movies...

Just the type that doesn't add to thinking, pure popcorn attributes.

The focus of martial arts is on the word "chivalry"!

Don't say anything about Jin Yong's "for the country and the people", in fact, Shen Xudong's understanding is that chivalry violates the ban with martial arts!

The so-called violation of the ban is actually rebellion against authority, this is their background, and the values in mainstream martial arts are to despise the court eagle dog, just like the gang fight taboo in Hong Kong gangster films is to call the police.

The spirit of martial arts itself is the antithesis of cynicism.

The concept of chivalry is not necessarily right, but chivalry must be spontaneous and loyal to his heart.

In martial arts culture, what ordinary readers get is actually the pleasure of rebelling against rules and injustice: no matter what forces, conspiracies, or routines you have, the old man will use martial arts to break you.

The background color of martial arts is the perspective of the bottom, even if it is the protagonist of the noble son's character, he never regards himself as a savior, and he is even more taboo to bully the weak.

Gu Long's "Happy Heroes" is a group of such people, proud, confident, arrogant but not bullying.

Those people with high emotional intelligence and society, including climbing up, are actually suitable for officialdom and business warfare, and should never be placed in the world of martial arts...

Of course, martial arts guidance is also very important, Shen Xudong still likes the kind of continuous suppression that is extremely fast, such as a double knife master with footwork to continuously chop, so fast that it is like a cloud of sword shadows in the sky, and the enemy is embarrassed to block and unable to counterattack in this rhythm... And not some slow-motion knife splitting water droplets or something...

Stepping on a horse, I feel that the current action design is all coming out of "A Bite of China", slow motion, slow, frame extraction, fast, slow motion, concave shape...

After a set of actions, I feel that he wants you to see the chemical formula of each ingredient!

Neuropathy!

Let's first try the market reaction with two pure popcorn: "No One in My Eyes" and "Thousands of Miles Don't Stay", starring Xie Miao and Wu Yue respectively...

Martial arts movies must have a sense of coolness, and this coolness must be achieved through the actors' fights, which requires the actors themselves to have martial arts skills.

You can't find Xiao Zhan to play a serious martial arts movie, right?

But Xu Ke wants to do "Condor" and "Shooting the Condor", so let him come!

Xu Ke's reputation is still there.

In addition, the costumes of "Condor" and "Shooting the Condor" can be authorized peripherals, martial arts, costume style folklore, and restaurants can be used...

This is from the crew of "The Wandering Earth" - there is a Dongguan toy factory called killerbody, and he took the initiative to go to the periphery authorized by the crew to make clothes, and then saw that the props were tattered and the drawings were incomplete, so the toy factory joined in and almost re-engineered the design.

Shen Xudong simply let them be a film and television supplier, and the cost of opening the mold directly covered the mass production periphery, and in one step, the movie props and peripherals were designed and produced together.

Lightweight looks more professional, and actors don't have to dress so hard.

It looks very simple, but in fact, the rules are broken - some of the supply of film and television dramas are monopolized by factories in the industry, and Shen Xudong directly found the outside of the circle...

For example, the restoration of the armor circle has reached a certain height, and the armor of the costume drama is still so much imaginary armor, because the props are monopolized by some companies, not that whoever does it well will use whom...

Shen Xudong is ready to find a few more professional companies outside the circle to join!

If you want to engage in industrial production, you can't be confined to the small circle of film and television, literature and art.

……

In the original time and space, "Taiping Wheel" (above) failed at the box office, and the investors were very worried and asked Wu Yusen to adjust the film to adapt to the market.

Wu Yusen was old, and in the face of this new river and lake, he was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Xu Ke silently jumped out.

He introduced many excellent feature teams to Wu Yusen, and even took the initiative to undertake the post-editing work of "Under the Peace Wheel".

Xu Ke directly cut "Taiping Wheel" (upper and lower) into a version - dozens of minutes of review of the previous situation, completely giving up the previous one...

So, it looks a lot smoother, and the reputation is good...

But... Most of the audience has lost trust in Wu Yusen, and the distribution company has completely despaired of Wu Yusen and has not promoted it at all... Therefore, the box office of "Taiping Wheel (II)" is even worse...

In fact, the failure of "Taiping Wheel" is inevitable, not to mention its narrative flaws, just the material determines its failure.

Let's take a look at a few protagonists: the Guo Party officer, the daughter of the comprador capitalist, the dusty woman of old Shanghai, the Guo Party soldier, and the former Ben military doctor~

Can they represent the vast majority of the Chinese people of that era? What other stories can they deduce than their dying struggles and elimination?

Perhaps their plight can evoke emotional resonance in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and we can now sympathize with their involvement in the whirlpool of civil war...

But their little joys and sorrows could not be lighter than the suffering of the vast number of people in old China, who were starving and dying!

In the eyes of most people, "Taiping Wheel" is just a pretending to moan literary model and a strong didactic atmosphere, and people can't see the future.

It's not that we can't appreciate beauty, it's just that we can't appreciate morbid beauty, it's not that we can't understand war movies, we just can't understand war movies with gloomy grievances!

……

"Where's your assistant?"

“… Assistant? ”

"Chen Duling!"

"Oh, she wants to be an actress, so I'll let her go!"

Shen Xudong was eating with Da Tiantian, he mainly came over to see Da Tiantian's training, it was not bad, it could indeed be seen that the effect of muscle gain was obvious.

However, Da Tiantian asked Chen Duling, obviously impressed by her: "Just let her go?" ”

"I make a lot of money as an actor... Be my assistant, up to 200,000 a year..."

"Your company's management is so poorly paid?"

"It's not low, we are above the average in the industry... But we're giving out a lot of bonuses..."

Da Tiantian nodded, signaling that she knew, and then changed the topic: "I went to see "Taiping Wheel"..."

"And then?"

"At first, they wanted me to do that..."

Shen Xudong was surprised: "You act?" Who do you play? ”

Da Tiantian thought for a while and said, "Zhou Yunfen, just the role of Song Hye Kyo..."

"Zhou Yunfen... So why didn't you agree? ”

"I don't have time... I was filming "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" at the time..."

“… You're quite lucky..."Shen Xudong sighed with emotion, and suddenly remembered something: ""Yunhai Jade Bow Edge"? You play Li Shengnan, who did Gu Zhihua find? ”

"Zhang Hanyun..."

"Didn't you say that you want to invite Liu Shishi?"

“… She's on a tight schedule..."

"That's right..."

Shen Xudong nodded and roughly understood...

Liu Shishi also belongs to the post-85 traffic school, her acting skills are not good, her popularity is very high, and naturally there are many crews looking for her...

Da Tiantian said again: "The reason why I don't take "Taiping Wheel" is because you are not optimistic..."

"How do you know I'm not optimistic?"

"You don't like Wu Yusen, everyone knows!"

"Haha..."
