At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 290 Released (44)

"The overseas copyright sale of "Golden Branch Desire"...I really don't know, I'm just a screenwriter, and they didn't inform me of these things..."

"The screenwriter only pays for the script... Of course, if you write a blockbuster, you will be charged more money. If you write a blockbuster work, can you not charge money? There is no reason for that!"

These reporters actually asked him how much money he made from "Golden Branch Desire"...

Of course Shen Xudong replied, "It's just the script fee!" '

The same is true for himself. Of course, after two consecutive works became hits, his script remuneration rose to 6 per episode, which is equivalent to the price of a first-line screenwriter...

As for "Struggle"...

As Shen Xudong's third novel, "Struggle" advertises realistic themes, but critics believe that drama is greater than literature, and it is not pure literature...

Shen Xudong doesn't care about the opinions of the critics at all...

When he was in a hurry, he also said, "The literary world is a fart, don't pretend to be coercive!" '

The sales volume of "Struggle" is very good. The first printing is 60 copies. After half a month, 40 copies have been sold...the second edition has been printed, and it is still 60 copies...

More than "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" in the same period last year...

""Struggle" is indeed in a Beijing-style style... I want to tell readers what real Beijing-style literature is, so let's not mention Guo Jingming!"

"But writing "Struggle" also exposed some shortcomings, because I didn't understand many things, and the material struggle became spiritual freedom when I wrote it... Focus on describing the confusion and helplessness of these people after graduating from university , anxiety, tossing..."

"As for the leading actor, Lu Tao, he has a rich dad...I think no matter what kind of relationship a person has, as long as he is working towards his goal and racking his brains to move forward, even if he is a rich second generation who is blessed by nature, They are also on the road of struggle, but these external objective conditions can make his struggle process more efficient and closer to success, which also reflects the unfairness of society.”

"I have already discussed with director Zhao Baogang, "Struggle" will be handed over to him to direct... Use new actors as much as possible..."

"The exact time? Then I don't know, I guess I have to wait until Director Zhao finishes his work..."

……

Although mentally exhausted and in various difficulties, Shen Xudong was young after all, and his thinking was still very flexible. After dealing with the media, he followed the publicity team to the hotel.

After eating something, I went back to my room and fell asleep after touching the pillow.

Unlike "Lost Orphans", he wasn't worried about the box office of "Party A Party B 2" at all...

In other words, there is no energy to pay attention!

On the same floor, Zhang Guoli can’t sleep all night——Although "Party A and Party B 2" is the second film of Taihe people, the meaning of this film is completely different from "Lonely"

Lunar New Year files, commercial films, the cost of more than 2800 million...

and nationwide publicity.

Since "Hero" kicked off the era of blockbuster films in the domestic market, more and more film studios have begun to pay attention to the effectiveness of early publicity.

What about zero o'clock premiere, running venues in major cities, swearing at people, swearing at the box office to break 1.5 million, etc., in short, they are trying their best to expose the topic...

I originally wanted to study "House of Flying Daggers" and arrange a concert, isn't it urgent...

Even if there is no concert, "Party A and Party B 2" still spent 2000 million publicity fees, and a week before its release, it swept the country overwhelmingly.

Nothing can be lost.

"Party A and Party B 2" also has a zero-point premiere, but to be honest, this thing is just a promotional thing, and the promotional effect is quite small...

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, who would go to the movies at midnight?

Hey, there really are!

……

BJ, Zhao Linhai led Chang Xiaoxiang to watch "Party A and Party B 2"...

On the one hand, it is to escape from sleep, and on the other hand, it also has the intention of sneaking a sneak peek.

After all, who is the fourth child's work!

After buying the tickets, and by the way, I bought the same popcorn and two cups of hot drinks, Chang Xiaoxiang suddenly asked, "Are you looking down on Chen Musheng?"

"How to say?"

"Why don't you watch the zero o'clock premiere of "Keep Calling"?"

""Keep Calling" didn't have a midnight premiere, okay?"

"...Okay, let's go..."

Walking into the screening room, I was a little surprised, there were quite a lot of people, and half of them were seated, so the two found a corner seat as usual.

In fact, about "Party A and Party B 2", Zhao Linhai probably knows the plot. Knowing the title, I can probably guess the plot: Consumers want to make up for their shortcomings in life through reappearance of certain scenes, and the organizers have tried their best Restoration of mental energy and live performances, the end of the story is often the spiritual sublimation of both consumers and organizers...

Just this way!
Zhao Linhai was just curious, how can such a little content support a 100-minute movie?
At the beginning of the movie, Ge You and Gong Li are a middle-aged couple. They used to be very affectionate, but their love and passion have been obliterated by life. They live together and quarrel every day...

One day, Gong Li got angry and kicked Ge You out of the house...

Then the plot begins to introduce Ge You, who was a very good caricature artist when he was young, but the advent of the Internet age makes him useless, unwilling to keep up with the trend of the times, he is gradually abandoned by everything around him...

His wife, Gong Li, is a university teacher and happily embraces the Internet...

At 10 minutes into the movie, Zhang Guoli appeared as Ge You's friend and introduced the "Favorite Memories Company" he founded: "We can help you reconnect perfectly if you want it!"

Ge You was not very willing at first, but he couldn't resist a friend's recommendation, so he simply chose the time when he met his wife for the first time...

At this point in the story, it can be said that it is the same as the traditional "A Day Trip to Dreams" story routine, but everything behind it becomes complicated.

It's not too complicated, because the plot is simply a story of getting out of the play, entering the play, and getting out of the play.

At the beginning, Ge You was in the state of acting, only for entertainment, and then slowly entered into acting, the fake play was real, the play was fake and the feelings were true, and finally he came to his senses and played the play, returning to reality...

In the state of acting, he felt that everyone was drunk and I was sober. He told the staff that the person who made his heart beat had been dead for many years;

After entering the scene, he has been constantly provoking those actors. At this time, he seems to be the sober person in a crazy banquet. What he wants is not love, but just wants to reminisce about the feeling he had when he was young. ;
After entering the play, he began to believe in love. Not only did he believe in love again, but he was also lost in this belief...

In fact, the audience is very sensitive to the fact that the person he loves has changed from Gong Li to Li Lianhua - the actress who played the young wife...

The third stage, play again...

Generally speaking, at this time, you should wake up and play, return to reality, and regain happiness.

But..."Party A and Party B 2" didn't have such an arrangement. In the third stage, Gong Li appeared on the stage, wearing the same clothes and speaking the lines of the past, but Ge You knew that he couldn't go back.

"Don't you love me?"

"Love, but I know that in 20 years, you won't be able to stand me..."

"I'll still drop my scarf...I'll wait for you!"

While speaking, Gong Li got up, walked towards the door, and deliberately put down the scarf...

Uncle Ge unhurriedly lit a cigarette, and amidst the smoke, the narration sounded, "Life is not a situational play, every moment is arranged with lines, and it is impossible to relive the best moments forever." '

Then Uncle Ge suddenly smiled...

The movie is over.
