At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 282 Talking About Business (44)

Of course, Shen Xudong came to Hong Kong only after receiving the invitation...

Otherwise, he ran to Hong Kong alone?
are you crazy?

Is the mainland staying well?

"Golden Branch Desire" has a phenomenal influence, and the novel version also achieved a sales miracle. In just half a month, the sales volume exceeded 60!
Qin Wen participated in several signings, if Shen Xudong also attended, the effect would be better...

The more "Golden Branch Desire" is sold, the more money he can get...

Come to Hong Kong to promote "Keep Calling"...

Can't make a dime!
He had to pay for it - the money for the meal and the taxi just now was paid for by himself!

This kind of behavior obviously doesn't match Shen Xudong's personality...

No way, it's a movie after all...

Li Zicheng's wish is to leave, escape, and completely get rid of the identity of "policeman" who has tortured him for eight years! "

Of course, Shen Xudong doesn't care about these, Chen Daoming + Liang Jiahui + Gong Li in "National Witness";

Makes sense!

Chen Musheng didn't speak, Zheng Jianfeng became interested: "Can you tell me more about it..."

"Of course, the reason why the boss did this is because there have been precedents of undercover betrayal and betrayal of colleagues. Therefore, the boss is always vigilant against Li Zicheng and guards against him at all times. He has placed many eyeliners around Li. Even Li's wife is sent by him. Come watcher.

I also want to catch the undercover agent!
Gradually become obsessed...

Shen Xudong had no intentions towards the Emperor at all, and Yang Shoucheng probably felt it too...

That's reasonable, the Emperor invited him to come and participate in the promotion of "Keep Calling", he should come!
……

It was just entertained in a club.

The three of them quickly chatted about the genre of the movie, and of course they were talking about gangster movies!

The protagonist Li Zicheng, in eight years, Li Zicheng has already ranked fifth in the gang since he was a young boy. He has a house and a car, a wife, a younger brother, and a son who is about to be born. His income is N times that of ordinary policemen, and he looks like a successful person. !

The regulations are very clear!
However, at the beginning of the opening of co-productions, although Hong Kong filmmakers went north one after another, they still held a kind of lofty attitude that deserved to be beaten.

What's even more damning is that an actor from the mainland will play soy sauce and show his face, even if he co-produces a film, the typical example is "New Police Story" or "The King of Love"...

Well, "Infernal Affairs", since "Infernal Affairs", 80% of Hong Kong films are desperate undercover + gangsters + anti-undercover + black police + corrupt undercover black police and so on.

""Infernal Affairs" + "Blood Heroes"...

"No, now we are talking about marketization and box office... Treating movies as an industry... Since we want to be an industry, we must look at the data. From top to bottom, we value the box office. Hong Kong movies have sufficient business experience. I know how to earn box office, the mainland has just started, and many places are immature, so I need to learn more..."

When it comes to "Tomorrow Wars", fight an alien...

Talking is also business.

"I think the most important thing about gangster films is the story... Don't be afraid of the old story, the important thing is the way of telling..."

"It can't be done, the current project is actually all about the lead person recruiting a supporting cast + young models to start the work, and everyone just eats and eats...It's not as good as you, you treat movies as art!"

"Hehe, the mainland market is huge, let's communicate more...Winnie, toast!"

Later, mainland actors began to be arranged to act as villains;

Hollywood is popular all over the world, which proves that a movie can no longer be completed by a few actors, a few cameras, plus a screenwriter and director, and it is compared with industrial strength.

Yang Shoucheng looked old and indecisive, but what he said was quite reasonable: "In 94, after Taiwanese companies collectively stopped buying Hong Kong films, the largest market for Hong Kong films disappeared, but we can still persist because the Southeast Asian market is still there. , The sign of the decline of Hong Kong movies is that the United States made "Jurassic Park". The comedy borrowed from David Zach ... "Jurassic Park" can't make references, it doesn't have the ability."

In fact, according to the provisions of the CEPA agreement: in co-productions between China and Hong Kong, the proportion of Hong Kong's main creative personnel is not limited, but the proportion of mainland actors shall not be less than one-third of the total number of main actors;

Shen Xudong didn't even look at her, he picked up his cup and took a sip...

It's normal, Hong Kong movies at this stage are only left with the genre of police and gangster movies...

Moreover, the Hong Kong partners of "The Tailor" and "National Witness" are Emperors, including the distribution of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" throughout Asia...

Winnie is Liang Minyi, a female artist under Emperor's banner...

"..."Infernal Affairs" can dig deeper, the gangsters in it are too low-end, and they are too idealistic!"

……

In their eyes, the mainland film market is a barren land, waiting to be exploited by themselves.

The male number one clearly says Chen Daoming!
If you are willing to cooperate, you can cooperate, if you don’t want to, let’s find other people—Jiang Zhiqiang and Lin Jianyue from Media Asia are waiting in line to cooperate!
Including "Keep Talking", the female number one and the anti-number one are all mainland actors, Chen Hao and Hu Jun...

What a gentleman!
An upright gentleman, Yang Shoucheng doesn't want to be with him anymore...

After chatting for a while, they took Liang Minyi and left, leaving behind Chen Musheng and Zheng Jianfeng, the producer of "Keep Calling".

Therefore, the initial casting of actors is often a Hong Kong actor and a mainland heroine, or a Hong Kong dual protagonist and a mainland supporting role.

After the ICAC intervened, the emperor restrained a lot.

If it had been a few years earlier, Shen Xudong would have been received grandly, at least he would have arranged three treasures to accompany the wine: peanuts, potato chips and shrimp crackers...

"Just like in "Blood Heroes", the good policeman Li Ying was squeezed out by his superiors, and he felt the coldness of the world. The police have never been a pool of clear water, but also a quagmire..."

"The Tailor", Chen Daoming + Cai Zhuoyan + Xie Tingfeng + Edison Chen...

Of course, it was impossible for Shen Xudong to respond to him, but said: "It's okay, there is also "Infernal Affairs"... I think Hong Kong's police and gangster films are the most distinctive genre in the world!"

Obviously, he has no idea about Liang Minyi...

His greatest pain is that his boss will often threaten him with undercover secrets to serve the police...

"…for example!"

How could it be possible to talk about things without female artists following!

Didn't catch up with the good time!

There are no restrictions on where the story takes place, but the storyline or main characters should be related to the mainland...

Later, with the rise of mainland stars, it gradually became the model of mainland protagonist + Hong Kong supporting role.

I think the relationship of kindness and trust between Chen Yongren and Huang Zhicheng in "Infernal Affairs" is too idealized... I think the real situation is all kinds of coercion and temptation, both soft and hard.

In order to achieve the "just" goal of eliminating gangsters, the police can do whatever they can, regardless of the safety of undercover agents. "

"Then... how to unfold?"

Shen Xudong talked about the beginning of "New World"...

It is impossible for him to tell the whole story, or the same sentence: just met for the first time, and told the script verbally?
Do you think the other party has a poor memory?Still feel like they're afraid to use your idea?
