At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 217 I Recommend Gong Li (14)

"In the end, I thought of two strategies. One is not to release it in the mainland, and the co-production becomes a co-production;"

There is only one word difference between co-production and co-production, but the treatment is far worse.

Since last year, co-produced films are released in the market on the same level as domestic films, so they also enjoy the same rights and obligations. Only the producer of a co-produced film can get 40% of the mainland box office revenue;

Co-produced films can only be imported, and the producers can get 13%-14% of the box office revenue after deducting tariffs.

Therefore, the approval of co-productions takes more into account China's national conditions and the tastes of mainland audiences than co-productions. In a sense, the review of co-productions will be stricter...

In addition, most co-produced films cannot be released, but they can be released on DVD...

However, with Gong Li's popularity, it should be no problem to release it.

Feng Xiaogang then asked: "... Is there another trick?"

"Change the story... The man didn't die, he just passed out and was buried by the heroine... The heroine turned herself in at the end..."

"Surrender"

Now even Zhang Guoli couldn't help it anymore: "She surrendered herself, what about the child? Who will support her?"

Shen Xudong sighed: "...That can't be helped. Absolute villains are not allowed in our movies. No one or anything can be above the law. It's not a place outside the law..."

"Are you sure Gong Li will pick it up?"

"Well, she asked for the script and is looking for a director. Liang Jiahui recommended the Mai brothers..."

Shen Xudong is quite sure that Gong Li will make "Manslaughter"...

It's just that she is not very willing to pay for it herself, but she said she will help find the money...

Don't think he was just having fun last night, he really talked about art!
So, it's better for my sister, I changed back to a project in just one night...

If you come again a few times, don't you want to go to heaven?
……

"I heard from Xiao Gao that your company is going to make a horror movie?"

"...It's not us doing it, it's investing. Tang Ren is responsible for the production..."

Zhang Guoli changed the subject and talked about "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "Legend of the Hunter in Xing'an Mountains"...

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing a horror film?"

Shen Xudong replied: "...Mainly, Tang Ren's Cai Yinong told me that he wanted to make a movie. Is there any recommendation... I asked how much money, she said several million... Then I recommended a horror movie..."

"how to say?"

"In the history of world cinema, there are only three genres that can make a big difference: horror films, comedies, and youthful films. You don't need to consider the youthful genre. Comedy...Tang Ren has no actors who are good at comedy. I always feel that comedy The most important thing is the actors, a joke, not everyone is funny...then it can only be a horror movie!"

Deng Jie was surprised: "...you have studied these?"

Shen Xudong explained with a smile: "No way, it's all market-oriented now, and I just debuted. If I write a few books that don't make money, no one will find me!"

"I found out that the two horror films you wrote are folk tales?"

"Well... I got the limited proposition, so I have to consider what kind of writing, not only to ensure the horror elements, but also to pass the review safely, and then to reflect the taste of Chinese-style horror movies. The horror stories I talked about, such as the big horse monkey, the water monkey, etc. combined with the folklore of the Northeast, wrote a "Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter". After finishing writing, I think I can refer to the structure of "Rashomon" and tell a rumor The story of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" came out again..."

Zhang Guoli gave a thumbs up: "...awesome!"

"...No, in fact, I have studied a lot, and I still have a few ideas in my mind, but I haven't written them yet... When the two movies are released, I'll see the market feedback!"

"What new idea?"

"Ghost marriages also include grave robbery and exorcism..."

"It's not easy, is it?"

"...Look at the market feedback first..."

Zhang Guoli nodded, and then asked: "The investment in the two horror films has been settled?"

"solved…"

Feng Xiaogang interjected suddenly: "You just said that there are comedies in the three genres that start with small and broad?"So do you have a comedy script? '

"...there is one."

"Say it!"

"It's also a story about mobile phones...it's not really a comedy..."

Shen Xudong said "Perfect Stranger"...

"...It can be regarded as based on "Mobile Phone", but it goes a step further. Seven friends gather for dinner, and the meeting place is the home of one of the couples. The host is a doctor and the hostess is a psychiatrist.

A total of seven people attended the party, three couples, and a fat man went to the banquet alone. He originally said that he would introduce his new girlfriend to everyone at this party, but his girlfriend had a fever and could not be there, making everyone wait in exchange for booing.

At the beginning, it was happy and harmonious, talking and laughing, everyone is a good friend, a good friend, a true friend who shares weal and woe.

Then the women talked about men covering each other's stealthy behaviors, and some people said that the mobile phone is a black box, hiding secrets that even the closest people can't share.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became weird, so the hostess proposed to play a game: Everyone put their mobile phones on the table, no matter whose mobile phone received the text message, they should share it and make it public. carry. "

"Must I pick it up and turn on the speakerphone?"

"Well... this is the basic setting!"

"And then?"

"...The three couples each have their own privacy, or the man is cheating, or the woman is busy...Of course there are some unspoken rules at work, the boss wants to sleep and so on..."

"How to pay the bottom?"

"...I assume that the male protagonist Gong stopped the game from continuing...because he found out that his good friend was having an affair with his wife...the specifics are still under consideration..."

Feng Xiaogang immediately became interested: "This script is interesting, and the relationship is much more chaotic than that of "Mobile Phone"!"

Zhang Guoli was about to remind "A World Without Thieves", but Shen Xudong had already said, "It was originally prepared for you. When I go back, I will sort out the relationship and save the script..."

"Well, I want it... What's the meaning of the fat man?"

"...The fat man I think the most is gay and doesn't want to get married... But I don't think so. If I shoot like this, I probably won't pass the trial, so I will change it to a woman with short hair and be harassed by my boss..."

"The peer relationship is really not good... the girl with short hair is very good..."

Zhang Guoli couldn't help interrupting him: "Ahem, "A World Without Thieves"!"

"Oh!" Feng Xiaogang hurriedly took out the script: "This is a new script, show it to me and revise it..."

……

The script of "A World Without Thieves" is very simple. A couple of thieves want to wash their hands in the gold basin. They did a good deed, and then the man put his life in it...

Of course Shen Xudong knows about this movie, and Andy Lau looks like a kappa!
"What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent!"

"Uncle Li is very angry, and the consequences will be serious."

"People's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead."

Well, although Uncle Li is the number two male lead, the golden sentences are all his!

I just don't like Liu Ruoying very much, why can she play the lead actress?
Later I found out - she has an unusual relationship with Chen Guofu!
Liu Ruoying is really on the horse, making people speechless. The Golden Horse Award sang with Qin Han and connoted Leslie Cheung, and said, "I can't act in a movie like "Happy Together""...

Then, after a few months, I filmed "Beauty Is Singing"...

It's also a same-sex theme!
Does your face hurt?
It's amazing, milk tea...a word that expresses the essence, green tea!
Or literary green tea!

Shen Xudong hated her, so when he heard that Liu Ruoying was playing the leading role, he intentionally looked shocked: "Why does Liu Ruoying play the leading role of Director Feng? How can she be so good? Has she won any awards? Have you had any box office records?"

Feng Xiaogang explained: "...She is the girlfriend of Chen Guofu's producer...Our film is invested by Huayi, and the Huang brothers value Chen Guofu very much..."

"So what? I recommend Gong Li, and I can guarantee that Gong Li will accept it!"
