At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 213 Don't know what to do (14)

Why did Daoming Chen seek him?
Could it be that he also heard the godfather rumors?
Hurry up and connect, okay, we are also making an appointment to have dinner together...

No... have you calculated the date?

Why is it all this time?

It all started the same way—you went back to BJ?
Convinced!

The horse just came back, and the news spread?
Am I that important?
"I'm looking for you in such a hurry, there must be something!"

"...But I just came back, and I haven't reported to the school yet... Where did they know about me?"

Zhao Linhai thought for a while, and then said: "...Maybe they care about you?"

"What do I care about? I'm not a girl..."

As soon as the words were finished, the phone rang again. This time it was Gao Fenfen. Her words probably revealed the reason why these people cared about Shen Xudong.

"You told Zhang Guoli about the investment situation of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "Legend of the Xing'an Mountain Hunter"... No, how did you know Zhang Guoli?"

"..."Jianbao" asked Wang Gang to host..."Jianbao" didn't we not participate?"

"Participated in the pre-production... Uncle is the producer... Isn't uncle in the film purchasing department? The position has been adjusted..."

Shen Xudong probably understood why Zhang Guoli was looking for him...

Want to invest in those two horror movies...

After all, the cost is low, the risk is small, and the review of the main folklore stories is relatively simple...

Zhang Guoli's Taihe People's Film Company needs new projects, so we can't just count on Feng Xiaogang.

In fact... you can count on Feng Xiaogang alone - "Lost Orphan" has not been released yet, and it has already earned 300 million!
Advertisement, authorization of DVD disc production and TV copyright, the total income of "Lost Orphan" from these three aspects is about 1400 million yuan. After deducting the marketing expenses of 500 million yuan for film promotion and 600 million yuan of production costs, it was not released. Already made a profit of 300 million!

"Party A and Party B 2" went a step further, with revenue reaching 2600 million, of course the cost was 1300 million, and the promotional cost is estimated to be around 800 million...

It is also making money without showing it!
It's good, but this is Feng Xiaogang's money, not Zhang Guoli's.

He also began to think about investing in movies.

Thinking of this, Shen Xudong was stunned, and muttered to himself: "...I understand!"

"What do you understand?"

"...It's nothing, you're calling to make an appointment for dinner, right?"

Gao Fenfen on the other end of the phone was very surprised: "You also know about Xingmei's President Qin Hong inviting us to dinner... Hey, why did you say 'also'?"

"It means there are more than one family..." Shen Xudong didn't bother to dwell on this topic, and asked directly: "What time?"

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

"No," Shen Xudong flatly refused; "I have an appointment the day after tomorrow!"

"...Then the day after tomorrow..."

"Okay, you send me the address, and I'll go there directly."

……

Shen Xudong talked about Gao Fenfen...

Zhao Linhai answered: "Xingmei? I voted for "Jianghu" some time ago, and I heard that Andy Lau was offered a salary of 700 million yuan!"

Zhao Xin also said: "...I also know, I heard that there was no trial!"

"Jianghu" left-hand brother, Liu Dehua's partner Zhang Xueyou, the classic line "tell you but don't listen, listen to you but don't understand, understand you but don't do it, do you but do wrong, do you but don't admit it, recognize you and don't change it, If you don’t accept it, and if you don’t accept it, you don’t make a sound, so what do you ask me to do? '

"I heard that people in Hong Kong are fooling people. When they applied for approval, they said that Li Yapeng was there, but it turned out that there was no..."

"That's right, I've heard that too. It seems that there were police scenes in the past, but they were all deleted. At the end, the two children opened a small restaurant, but now the two lines are merged into one in the finished film. It's all gangster scenes... "

It's true, "Jianghu" was originally submitted for review as a co-production, so Xingmei invested in it!

Then all kinds of fooling, was caught typical!

Director Huang Jingfu never had the chance to come to the mainland to make movies

But Zeng Zhiwei admired him very much, and later asked him to shoot "Sister-in-law"...

As a mainland investor and co-producer, Xingmei was very upset and said publicly: "When they sent us here, we made suggestions, such as adding positive characters, but they didn't listen to them and thought they were smart and sent them to the Film Bureau. , and said we passed, but failed.

Some Hong Kong people are very smart. They consulted with us while filming, and kept adjusting during the filming, so as not to fail after the filming.

You can't just want the mainland market, but don't abide by the rules of the mainland! "

After understanding the whole story, Shen Xudong nodded: "... I guess I feel cheated, and I think we should cooperate more with mainland filmmakers..."

After a pause, he said again: "But I'm not a filmmaker, am I?"

"Why don't you count? "Outstanding Citizen" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, and "Lonely" will be released in July... "Party A and Party B 7" is also written by you..."

"That is, if you are not a filmmaker, then who is?"

"You two don't compliment each other..." Shen Xudong waved his hands: "It's time to go to school..."

……

When I arrived at the school, I first reported to Mr. Huang and sold the holidays, and then went back to the dormitory to distribute gifts and so on...

It's an exaggeration to say the gift, but it's actually a local specialty that Shen Xudong bought casually.

Gefen, candied dates, etc. By the way, there are two cigarettes...

Liqun and Big Red Eagle.

Soon, everyone in the dormitory, including a few who came to watch the excitement, began to puff.

Chatted about the filming of "Sword"...

It was almost ten o'clock, a group of people left, and Zhao Linhai also disappeared - he and his girlfriend had already lived together, and the dormitory was a safe haven for him to escape...

Zhao Xin watched "Flying Fox" - since he decided to take it, he must do it well!

Familiarity with the original is a must!

Shen Xudong simply rinsed off, then lay on the bed...

He was thinking about why Chen Daoming came to him.

Could it be "National Witness", he was about to give up?

It's not surprising, after all, Yuan Shikong and Gao Xiaosong filmed "My Heart Is Flying" at this time...

"My Heart Is Flying", an incomprehensible movie, seems to be about the emotional entanglement between three men who have the same goal and a dumb woman in Xiangxi...

Maybe Chen Daoming at this stage likes this form of expression?
Gao Xiaosong was really lucky. In 99, "The Flowers Bloomed" was finalized. Unexpectedly, the finished film was submitted, and more than 160 suggestions for revision were given.The top never lets it go.

The film was delayed for two years before it was released.When the movie was released, Zhou Xun was already a huge hit, so it stands to reason that it should be a big hit.

It's a pity that Teacher Gao's "energy density" was not enough, and he lost money in the end.

Generally, if a new director makes a mess, it will be difficult to find money.

But with the three-page script of "My Heart Is Flying", he managed Chen Daoming...

Forget it, we will meet tomorrow.

Why did Shen Xudong have such an idea?
Or because I have no idea...

Although he seems to be beautiful now, but... he is a tree without roots, water without a source!

With the memory of another person, he knew that what the entertainment industry valued was not talent, but relationships!

The entertainment circle is different from other circles, this is a circle that can take the gold main force for granted...

Frankly speaking, body swapping is a normal circle!
In this circle, connections are very important...
