At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 22 Watching Movies

Shen Xudong is such a boss...

Like his father, he takes over projects and lets his subordinates complete them. That's the only way to call him a boss!

Well, that's just a small boss, commonly known as a contractor...

After going to college, Shen Xudong communicated more with his father...

There were also exchanges before, basically just one sentence, 'Dad, where is my mother? '

I don't know what's wrong, after going to university, Shen Xudong is willing to share many things with his father, including the high royalties he received for his writing...

For example, now: "You don't have to pay me for living expenses in the future!"

"...Then do you have enough money?"

"Although the food in the school cafeteria is not delicious, it won't kill you... It doesn't cost much to buy clothes, and life is definitely enough!"

"You earned 6000 yuan in two months?"

"Almost... Anyway, I'm saving [-]... I'm going to save for another month, and then I'll buy a computer!"

"How much?"

"Around two thousand..."

"I'll make it up for you!"

Shen Xudong hurriedly said, "No, I'll buy it myself..."

Shen Mingguang's tone on the other end of the phone was a little low: "My son has grown up, so I don't want my money anymore!"

"...Okay, you can make up... two thousand for me!"

"Okay...go home on New Year's Day?"

"Let's talk again... Let me tell you something."

Shen Xudong talked about the fact that the third brother in the dormitory was going to use his name to write a review of Jin Yong's martial arts characters, and asked by the way: "Do you think this method is reliable?"

"It's hard to say whether it's reliable or not, but if we sort out and publish a book in the future, how will this account be calculated?"

"Publishing? All we write are reviews..."

Shen Mingguang shook his head: "What if? Who does the copyright belong to?"

"...Belongs to me? After all, the name used..."

"Then make it clear, my brother will settle accounts clearly, and you have to consider many things!"

"It's impossible..."

"What will happen in the future, can you decide?"

"Okay, okay, let me tell them..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong was a little confused...

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly thought of something—anyone can comment on martial arts characters, and there is no such thing as copyright. If we insist on copyright, then the copyright should also be in the hands of Jin Yong!

Dad is of course doing it for his own good, but... he may not know this kind of thing!

……

Days are back to normal...

Shen Xudong goes to the library to write almost every day and returns to the dormitory at 11 o'clock...

Write what?
"Number One in the World" of course...

In the middle, the boss Zhao Linhai took over the task of writing a family drama, "A Dutiful Son Is Hard to Find"...

He resolutely refused - the writing was not good!

I didn't even discuss it with a few people in the dormitory...

This kind of family drama requires a strong life precipitation, at least you have to use a bunch of bloody elements clearly, otherwise, how do you write it?
In fact, Shen Xudong has a lot of family drama elements, such as Fudimo, Phoenix Man, Peacock Girl...

Just take one out, in this era, it is a new and awesome existence!

Uh, Shen Xudong's memory is almost integrated, at least in terms of screenwriting skills...

I also know why "No. [-] in the World" is difficult to write, because this thing is a TV series, there are only pictures, and... During the filming of the TV series, I encountered a lot of things, for example, Duan Tianya's scenes are too small...

The reason is simple: when filming a snow scene, Li Yapeng ruptured the cruciate ligament of his right leg and was no longer able to film.The film crew didn't want to change people, so they changed the script and asked Duan Tianya to live in Snake Island for a while.

This is also the reason why Duan Tianya has not appeared for a long time, because the leading actor Li Yapeng went to recuperate.

In terms of character setting, Duan Tianya is equipped with three beauties, Liusheng Piaoxu, Liusheng Xueji, and Shangguan Haitang.

In terms of character, Duan Tianya is also a perfect character.Calm, calm, loyal, loyal, loyal, and has leadership skills.

Writing a novel now, it would be impossible to set Duan Tianya as the male number two!
Then you have to create an original role for him.

However, as it was written, Cheng Zhengfei became the protagonist...

No way, this character is too cute!

Cheng Zhengfei is Wei Xiaobao!

He stumbled into the palace by mistake, and after that, his life was like a hang-up. First, he was forcibly passed on by Gu Santong, and then hooked up with Princess Yunluo, and even got along with the Queen Mother. He acted like a little hooligan...

The key point is that this character is fun, vain and principled, narcissistic, conceited and affectionate!
After writing every day, Liao Gaoxiang is his first reader, and he directly commented: "I don't like to be right and wrong!"

"why?"

"So lucky!"

"But everyone in this novel has a tragic ending, so there must be a happy ending, right?"

"...All right, write slowly... By the way, have you decided which magazine to serialize?"

"I asked the teacher. The teacher also has acquaintances in the editorial department of "Legend of the Ancient Times"... He asked me to send the finished manuscript to "Wu Xia Edition"..."

Liao Gaoxiang nodded: "I guess they are all classmates from Wuqi Art School..."

In the 70s, that is, in 1973, the Ministry of Culture merged 9 schools in Beijing, including the Central Conservatory of Music, China Conservatory of Music, Central Academy of Drama, and BJ Film Academy, into one central Wuqi University of the Arts, with the campus of the former BJ Agricultural and Labor University in Changping as its headquarters.

Of course, the Wuqi Art School only existed for 4 years, and it was declared disbanded in 77...

Over 20 years later, those graduates happen to be the stalwarts of the arts now!
"Then are you still writing today?"

"Stop writing, didn't you agree to go to the movies?"

"Let's go then!"

They made an appointment to see "Heroes"

……

The cost of "Hero" is 3000 million US dollars, the director is Mou, starring Li Lianlian, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Daoming...

By the way, there is Donnie Yen!

Don't talk about the lineup, just talk about the promotion, which is unprecedented.

It is really unprecedented. In the past, the production and distribution of domestic films were independent of each other, which led to a disconnect between publicity planning and distribution.

Well, there was no publicity before. After the film is finished, the studio will pay for it...

"Hero" completely abandoned the traditional approach, from the beginning to the end, from publicity, planning to distribution, was completely entrusted to New Picture Company.

In order to ensure the success of the release in the future, New Picture Company cooperated with the media to conduct all-round reports on the planning, shooting, and production of the film from the very beginning.

Moreover, the media does not report on the shooting process of the film, but only selects some relevant tidbits of news as the entry point of the report, so that people know that the film is being filmed but they just don’t know how it is being filmed, mobilizing the audience time and time again. The Desire of the Hero.

In addition, in mid-December before the film's release, a series of hardcover "Heroes" stamps composed of director Zhang Yimou and other main actors were printed and sold.

And all kinds of advertisements occupy people's attention overwhelmingly before the movie is released, so it's hard for you not to pay attention.

In addition, "Hero" also created a lot of things, such as investing huge sums of money to hold an expensive premiere in the Great Hall of the People;

More than 600 media from more than 90 countries and regions were invited to participate in the promotion;
The main creators of the film crew chartered planes to various places for premiere publicity;
The most stringent entry verification and anti-piracy measures are used by security guards to check ID cards, limit the number of tickets purchased, and special-purpose surveillance and sneak recording;
Astronomical price auction audio-visual version distribution rights and so on...

These activities are widely reported by the media, like a never-ending tide, creating a marketing atmosphere for the film wave after wave, and fueling the film's sales.

By the way, there are premiere meet and greets in five major cities across the country...

The basic film promotion routines of later generations are all created by "Hero"...

It's hard for Shen Xudong and the others to know!
Simply spend money to buy a ticket, and then watch the movie as soon as possible...
