At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 208 Taking on a New Job (44)

Shen Xudong is attending a banquet, to be precise, he is accompanying guests...

Most of the Hong Kong actors of "Sword of Heaven" have finished filming. To express gratitude, Cai Yinong specially hosted a banquet, and Shen Xudong was also called together. After all, he is the screenwriter and producer...

In fact, Shen Xudong didn't have much contact with this group of people, including Teacher Xu Jinjiang, he just greeted him a few times.

I feel like a boring person...

But after Shen Xudong made two toasts at the dinner table, he opened up the topic.

He said that acting in a tertiary film was an arrangement of the company.

This is indeed the case, he was discovered by the Mak brothers. The "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers 2" opened the scene, and then he appeared in Lin Lingdong's "Prison Storm"...

Then it was a bit stereotyped-a tall, mighty, fierce villain!

At that time, the grading system was introduced, and three-level films set off a trend. Among the three-level films in a broad sense, Fengyue films undoubtedly had the most market.

The Mai Brothers also wanted a piece of the pie, so they invested in and produced "Treasure of Stealing Relatives", and found Xu Jinjiang to play the leading role...

"Mr. Mai hoped that I could have some new breakthroughs. He was kind to me, and actors should be versatile, so I agreed."

After opening up the acting career, she successively starred in a large number of Fengyue genre films such as "The Monk Waiting for Grass", "The Jade Heart Sutra", "The Girl Who Doesn't Button" and so on.

Xu Jinjiang was very popular for a while, he made 13 movies in one year!

"Sometimes I'm in BJ in the morning and fly to Taipei in the evening. After a short rest, I have to immediately enter the role and prepare to start acting...I don't know if I'm acting..."

"How good is that?"

"I haven't acted for a while..."

By the way, he also took the initiative to mention Fengyue movies: "There is a fine line between art and sex. If you are a sex person, what you see is sex. From the actor's point of view, I don't care what other people think. Once you accept the script, don’t be timid, or don’t shoot. Besides, do I have any negative news in my life? Not at all. Because I’m an actor, an actor should have many facets.”

Makes sense...

But the selling point of the scenes you filmed is sexiness!
It has nothing to do with art...

Is there any art to speak of in "Ten Torture Tortures in the Manchu Dynasty" and "Twelve Houses in a Brothel"?
Of course, it was impossible for Shen Xudong to tell the truth, but he looked at him with admiration and said, "You are a real actor!"

In addition to Xu Jinjiang, Zheng Peipei, Xie Junhao, Tan Yaowen...

Li Lizhen and Zhang Qian left after filming. Fortunately, Zhang Qian is Zhang Weijian's wife!
If asked about beating someone, Shen Xudong really didn't know how to answer...

Zhang Weijian has acted in plays for decades, except for his poor eyesight, he plays everyone himself, and this is the black material of beating people.

People are still nice!

It can only be said that it is unlucky, there is an invisible gap between the mainland entertainment circle and the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circle, Wang Bozhao's disturbance directly widened the gap and exposed it to the sun.

Li Lizhen... what a pity!
He has watched "When the Honey Set Is Mature" no less than five times...

……

This meal was regarded as an early wrap-up feast, except for a few chats with Xu Jinjiang, most of the time, Shen Xudong was silent...

After all, I'm not familiar with it.

And it's only been a while since the announcement...

Shen Xudong also had no intention of making friends.

After the dinner party, Shen Xudong went back to his house...

That's right, he bought this house with a yard!
I thought it was good before, but when I think about Hengdian again, I can foresee that he will come here often in the future. Buying a set is considered as a spare, it is much better than staying in a hotel!

I inquired about the price, 45...

Plus a house with a small courtyard close to 260 square meters is only 45?
Buy now!
He was going to make a phone call to Mr. Huang - he was still a student after all...

A leave of absence for three months is enough to suspend school!

Teacher Huang is actually very proud. After all, as his student, Shen Xudong got mixed up with so many bosses in his sophomore year!

Although the purpose of the Academy of Drama is to cultivate masters, but... in the market economy, how can it be so easy to cultivate masters?
Being able to make a name for yourself is the true meaning!
Of course, pride is pride, and he was still ordered to go back to school at the end of May...

Shen Xudong naturally agreed.

Hanging up the phone, staring at the computer screen, he suddenly couldn't write in - he accepted Tang Ren's scripts for two horror films...

Well, domestic horror films, the ones that make money, the two films add up to a cost of 300 million, and a purely routine script will do...

Cai Yinong was really capable, and directly hooked up with United Cinemas—Shanghai United Cinemas is the largest cinema in Shanghai, which solved the screening problem!

The requirement of the contract is that Tang Ren himself will pay the production funds in advance, and as long as the theaters recover the cost, they will share half of the profits with her...

This contract is actually quite harsh.

To recover the cost...

Cai Yinong and Shen Xudong promised '8 guaranteed salary + [-]% profit sharing'...

It stands to reason that Shen Xudong should be very casual about earning this kind of money, but he just can't continue writing—the outline is listed, "Desolate Village Inn" and "Midnight Heartbeat"...

It sucks!
Somebody Shen is one of the leading screenwriters born in the 80s, so he wrote this?

If it gets out, what do book fans think of him?

What a shame!

Can't write down...

Leaning back on the chair, I moved my mind a bit. In fact, there are several horror and thriller online movies that are not bad, such as "The Legend of the Xing'an Mountain Hunter", "The Strange Talk of Yinyang Town", "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village"...

Forget it, let's write "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village", at least it won't be so inferior...

"The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" is really good, a bit like "Rashomon", five people tell the same story, the fox has five layers of skin (illusion), the blind man, the drug seller, the prisoner, the woman, the sheriff, the five perspectives are respectively After peeling off a layer of skin, the fox began to reveal his true body (truth), and at the same time, the play also moved towards the final reversal.

What is the truth?The truth is still nothing more than the confusion of people, the loss of human nature, and people killing each other.

Although it is a last resort to use the so-called ghosts and snakes to wrap up the discussion of human nature, it can be regarded as a clever play.

Shen Xudong was very impressed...

That's it, the narrative style of "Legend of the Hunter in Xing'an Mountains" is not far from that of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village"...

They are all made by the same team, and the rhythm is also telling ghost stories and true stories...

As for the production cost, it should not be very high, after all, it belongs to the Internet genre.

Write "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" first.

With the quality of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village", it is not a big problem to win the 600 million box office. Even if you can't get it, it is not a problem to get back the money.

In the circle, reputation is very important!

At the beginning stage, you must not mess with the film...

Oh, why not write "The Strange Talk of Yin Yang Town"?
The cost of this film is a bit high, the characters and scenes are a bit big, and the original time and space spent nearly 1500 million yuan to shoot it. Shen Xudong didn't think it was a good choice to do this project.

After all, the reason why he agreed to Cai Yinong was not only because he didn't reject the project offer, but also because he really felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

But if you gamble with "Ghost Talk in Yin Yang Town", it's a bit unnecessary...
