At first, I just wanted to make money

"Jackie Chan is about to star in Shen Xudong's new work "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"!"

'Shen Xudong's new movie "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" will start shooting soon, starring Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung! '

"China Film Group confirmed that "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" will be launched soon, and China Film Group, Jackie Chan Emperor Films and Taihe People will be responsible for the investment and production..."

In the next few days, news about "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" flooded the screen...

Shen Xudong felt quite strange, because his name was written in many titles...

Yes, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" was written by him, but...Jackie Chan's starring role should be the focus, right?
There is no precedent for writing the screenwriter's name in the title.

Well, it was requested by China Opera!
After China Film Group announced the launch, the major media deleted the word "Shen Xudong"...

Shen Xudong...

Did not continue to accept interviews, after all, the project has not yet started!

Besides, "Extreme Family Ding" needs him to sit in charge.

After winning the award, I should have a meal with the actors of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" to celebrate, but Shen Xudong has other things...

Zhuang Liqi took the file and looked through it...

Li Xiaoran resigned from playing Nie Shen'er and needs to find a new actor to take over...

"We've contacted her..."

The behind-the-scenes working group of this crew is completely copied from TVB: the division of labor is meticulous, the screenwriter belongs to the creation department and is responsible for creating stories; the three directors belong to the production department and are responsible for filming the script text into film and television screens.

The teacher asked him to give an acceptance speech, and share his creative method by the way. Shen Xudong has no secrets:

Art communication is important, but you can't just think about art all day long.

"Let me see!"

"I know two good ones. One is Tong Yali, a newcomer to the Chinese opera this year. She dances and has a good body shape;"

Shen Xudong arrived at the crew of "Beauty's Scheming".

"Who?"

Producer Wang Yan had a different opinion: "...but Nie Shener is the second female lead, and she has many scenes with Chen Hao, so we can't use a newcomer to play with Chen Hao, right?"

"Actually, the creation mode of flying paper notes that was popular in Hong Kong movies in the early years has fallen behind the times...Flying paper notes shows that you don't have a complete script..."

"The current audience is different from the previous one, with a wide horizon...Because of the Internet and piracy, the reading volume of many senior movie fans is not weaker than that of many of our directors..."

Of course there is something...

We often talk about good sentences and good stories, and that’s what it means. In Xu Ke’s later movies, you can still find many interesting passages, but overall they are not good!

The extra income brought by fame belongs to yes.

"Ahem," Zhuang Liqi said suddenly: "The leading actresses in your "The Best Housekeeper" are Qin Lan, Yan Danchen and Zeng Li, right? Or, why don't you let Qin Lan come over?"

How to do?
It doesn't matter, let's shoot.

By the way, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" won the first prize in the sketch contest.

"what?"

Let Zhao Xin treat her well, and fly directly to the crew of "Beauty's Scheming" in Hengdian...

……

Chen Xi didn't raise his head: "Almost all of them are filming, so there's no time!"

"The third point..."

Shen Xudong looked at Chen Xi, who was also surprised...

It's not that senior sister is itchy, but something really happened.

When Xu Ke asked Ruan Jizhi to write "A Chinese Ghost Story", Ruan hadn't written a single ghost film, and he was beating his heart. Tsui Hark said to him: "Just write the female ghost as a public relations lady. The female ghost Nie Xiaoqian and the public relations Like Miss, they are also fierce at night, but dare not come out during the day; they also try their best to cheat men out of money."

There is no other reason, it's just that I don't like it!
When Shen Xudong arrived in Hengdian, he went directly to the production team, opened the door and asked, "Are there any similar actors?"

Shen Xudong continued: "There is another one named Guo Zhenni, who is in the same class as me, not bad!"

Shen Xudong firmly disagreed: "Besides, people may not be happy!"

……

How were Hong Kong films created back then?
The two masters who paid the money sat together and discussed "I'm interested in watching gangster movies" and "Let's shoot it", and then found a director and actors. Everything was ready except for the script...

"Second point, watch more movies, increase your reading volume, and don't try to write new things. The more you watch, the more you will discover your ignorance. Many new directors and screenwriters think that they are avant-garde and experimental. Even a senior movie fan can blow him up, because what he wants to express may have been rotten as early as 50 years ago, and this is the scourge of too few movies."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Isn't it because we can't find anyone? Let me tell you, these two were originally candidates for "The Best Housekeeper". It depends on who you want, and I have to leave the other one!"

Why is Shen Xudong the chief screenwriter?
On the one hand, he was indeed the one who wrote the script of "Beauty's Scheming", on the other hand, he is famous!
Especially after "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" announced Jackie Chan's starring role, more than a dozen TV stations contacted "Beauty's Scheming".

Three groups, Wu Jinyuan and Liang Xinquan led a group each, Zhou Shen and Liu Lu led a group...

The creative department is led by Qin Wen, and Shen Xudong is named as the chief screenwriter. Qin Wen wrote the episode scripts of "Beauty's Scheming".

In fact, the filming of "Everybody's Scheming" went smoothly...

Shen Xudong took out the materials he had prepared in his bag: "...Then let's find someone new!"

Of course, in order to express guilt, Li Xiaoran recommended his best friend Xie Na, but was directly rejected by the crew...

"...Are you kidding me, Qin Lan is the number one female..."

The screenwriter writes and we shoot. In those days, people didn’t use computers to write. They wrote by hand and then faxed today’s scenes to the crew, so it’s called "Flying Paper Boy", after the paper boy flies, it’s finished!
Many, many movies, including "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Young and Dangerous", etc., came out in this way.

How did they create so many classics?
It's very simple, catching up with a group of people's creative peak!

It's outrageous!
I have been filming for more than a week, and I will stop acting if I say no.

"How can you get them to recognize your work? I think the first point is to have a complete and logical main plot,"

Again, the temptation of "Seven Swords" is too great - the manager is called Chang Jihong, a typical manager whose fame is greater than his strength, who wants vision but no vision, strength but no strength...

When John Woo directed "The True Colors of Heroes 2", he didn't even have a flying paper boy, just a story outline...

It seems that he did it without telling her!
Shen Xudong said angrily: "You have already contacted me, and you still let me come over? Are you playing with someone?"

Zhuang Liqi hurriedly explained: "You are the producer of "The Best Housekeeper"...I always ask for your opinion...If you don't let him go, there is nothing we can do..."

"Okay, I'll give Qin Lan a call and ask her to come to Hengdian..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something: "Qin Lan seems to be Qiong Yao's contracted actor, can she play a bad role like Nie Shen'er?"

Zhuang Liqi said: "No problem, I discussed it with her manager..."
