At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 206 I seem to have opened Pandora's box (24)

"But it's only a few..."

"Just tell me if there is such a situation? If you say no, I really doubt if you are working as an entertainment reporter for the first time! I have met a third-rate star's assistant yelling at me, if it wasn't for someone around me to stop me , I'm going to smoke him in the morning!"

The interviewing reporter smiled: "Which play are you talking about?

"I've only followed a few dramas? Anyway, it's not "No. [-] in the World". I didn't find a Hong Kong and Taiwan actor for the starring lineup of "No. [-] in the World". A large part of the reason is that I know their virtues too well!"

"So, you issued a statement immediately?"

"No..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "Mr. Chen Daoming informed me, so I only know... I don't have time to read news online, "Sword" is enough to give me a headache!"

"...Aren't you the screenwriter of "Sword"?"

"The post-production special effects depended on me. I saw the monsters they designed that day and thought they were too rough and too western-looking, so I drew one at random... They thought I was reliable, and pestered me every day to let me work overtime to do post-production... "

"What does it mean to be too Western aesthetic?"

""Sword" belongs to the oriental fairy, so you can't have a monster from "The Lord of the Rings" right? It's a western magic, with unified aesthetics." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong mentioned "Shushan Biography" by the way: ""Shushan The first half of "Biography" has the flavor of an oriental fairy, with thousands of miles of sky and sword energy, but the appearance of Gu Tianle's Dan Chenzi, the villain Youquan old monster, including the blood demon is too westernized!"

"I heard that Director Xu Ke wants to combine Western magic with Eastern fairy tales..."

"... wish him success!"

"Then do you know this statement?"

"Of course...in fact, don't over-interpret it. That statement only appeals to 'fairness, fairness, or fairness!'"

"So, you don't know the specific situation? If you don't know the specific situation, is it inappropriate to just issue a statement?"

"I just asked if they were hit, hurt, and apologized... If Wang Bozhao was replaced by Andy Lau or Jackie Chan, would they dare to hit like this? Who gave them the right to be so arrogant? We just set things right!"

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong's cell phone rang, he glanced at Yu Ji, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"…Gone…"

"Then you go first, let's stop here today!"

"Oh…"

……

After Yu Ji left, Shen Xudong answered the phone, it was... Zhuang Liqi.

Could it be... the Emperor protested?

Forget it, let's talk first.

Zhuang Liqi said very excitedly, "BJ station also bought the right to broadcast "No. [-] in the World" and plans to broadcast it together with Shanghai TV on the drama channel..."

"...It's a good thing..."

"When the time comes to promote, you have to participate!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely participate!"

Anyway, it will be aired in July, and he has time during the summer vacation.

Immediately after, Zhuang Liqi said: "It's best to call Mr. Chen Daoming..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "...You are embarrassing me now. Whether Mr. Chen Daoming participates in the promotion, I don't count!"

"...Isn't he your godfather? If you invite him, will he come?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then yelled: "What godfather... What godfather do I recognize as a man? I have a father... who is riding a horse, who is spreading rumors?"

Zhuang Liqi on the other end of the phone laughed loudly: "I knew it was impossible... We don't have the habit of identifying fathers everywhere! It's fine, next time I hear them say that, I'll help you refute..."

"Can you tell me who is spreading the rumors?"

"...Those people misunderstood..."

"Emperor?"

"...No, don't think about it..."

Shen Xudong asked back: "That is Mr. Wu..."

"...He thinks that you can be listed with the names of so many people, there must be something special..."

"Ask, I see..."

Mr. Wu...

It doesn't matter, anyway, your girlfriend will call me Baba...

……

"Maybe they felt that a young man was needed as a representative in this list, so they asked me to sign my name..."

Facing the puzzled eyes of everyone in "Sword of Immortal Sword", Shen Xudong roughly explained why he was on the list...

Brother Hu then asked: "So, you knew this group of people before?"

"I have met several times, and have cooperated..."

Liu Yifei couldn't help it anymore: "Screenwriter Shen and director Feng Xiaogang collaborated on two films, didn't you know?"

"...Oh, I remembered..."

Brother Hu suddenly realized: ""Lonely" and "Party A and Party B 2"..."

"Lost Orphans seems to be released in July?"

"Yes, July 7, exactly one week after the release of "House of Flying Daggers"..."

"Huh? The same schedule as "House of Flying Daggers"?"

It was Cai Yinong who spoke, she just heard this...

Shen Xudong smiled: "You need a blockbuster movie to bring the market to market. If it is released in other schedules, I guess no one would want to go to the theater..."

"That's how you think about it... What if the box office loses to "House of Flying Daggers"?"

"I didn't even want to win at first...the cost is close to 600 million, and we only have [-] million..."

"One hundred million? Didn't you mean 2.6 million costs?"

"Listen to his nonsense, Zhang Weiping also said that Andy Lau's salary is 1000 million US dollars, do you believe it?"

Andy Lau's film salary is about 700 million Hong Kong dollars, this thing can be found out!
At this stage, the most expensive actor in Hong Kong (excluding Jackie Chan and Zhou Runfa) is Liang Chaowei, whose public salary is 800 million Hong Kong dollars...

Andy Lau's remuneration is usually around 600 million Hong Kong dollars, but the recent filming of "Jiang Hu" only broke through 700 million Hong Kong dollars...

$1000?
If you really have 1000 million US dollars, won't you find Li Lianlian?

Jin Chengwu, Zhang Ziyi plus a piece of 1500 million is almost...

Based on the ratio of star remuneration to the total production cost, the production investment of the entire "House of Flying Daggers" must not exceed 1 million.

Cai Yinong smiled and changed the subject: "...I don't know much about movies...but you mentioned horror movies the other day, do you have a script?"

Shen Xudong was slightly taken aback...

She looked at Cai Yinong in surprise, "Sister, are you really going to make a horror movie?"

Cai Yinong asked back, "Why not?"

Then he said: "What you said is very interesting. I looked at the history of the world's movies. With Xiao Boda's example, apart from pornography and comedies, they are horror movies... I can't find a suitable actor or director for comedies. Only Horror film…"

"However, mainland horror films cannot have ghosts... This determines that horror films can only go in the direction of not being scary, so how can they attract audiences?"

Before Cai Yinong could speak, Shen Xudong asked himself and answered: "Go in the direction of softness!"

"...can't ghosts appear?"

"Yes, the absence of real ghosts means that the audience knows for sure that all ghosts must be fake when watching.

In addition, no detailed decryption of criminal methods is allowed, for fear of criminals imitating, it means that no matter how delicate the criminal puzzle is, it is impossible to explain it clearly..."

"So, do you have a script?"

"...there's a pretty good one..."

"what is it call?"

"... "Someone Under the Bed"..."
