At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 328 Producer (23)

Apologised, but not fully apologised!

That's the attitude.

Just like "Next Magazine" always apologizes to celebrities, most of the so-called front page apologies are in small corners...

However, Shen Xudong is too lazy to pursue it anymore, there have been too many news about him recently, and he needs to cool down...

The best way to cool down is to ignore it…

To be honest, at first he felt that this matter was like Hua Yi's promotion for "A World Without Thieves"...

But after chatting with Gao Fenfen, it didn't feel like it!

Because "A World Without Thieves" is scheduled to be released on December 12-to avoid competing with "The Promise" to divert the box office...

It's too early to advertise now!
And... it's completely unnecessary!
"Manslaughter" and "Mobile Phone 2" have to cooperate again, so let's turn the table now?

If the Huang brothers are so short-sighted, there is no reason for Huayi Brothers to become the only private film and television media company at this stage
Besides, "A World Without Thieves", Shen Xudong is also the producer!

……

Producer, this term should have appeared in the Hong Kong film production system.

This goes back to the TV station era of these creators.

The producer is the largest in the TV station, and it is the core position that controls the entire creation.

Therefore, at that time, the directors who were born in TV stations were inevitably contaminated with the habits of TV stations.

As long as you are named as the producer, you like to take full control: you have to control the script, teach the actors, shoot the shots, edit the editing, and even choose the director yourself!
This is the director in the popular definition!

Therefore, "New Dragon Inn" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" include the two "Swordsman", Tsui Hark is the nominal producer, but the public directly classifies these works as Xu Ke's works.

In fact, there are also Zhang Jizhong's Jin Yong dramas in the mainland. In most cases, Zhang Jizhong is not the director, and they are generally considered to be Zhang Jizhong's works.

Of course, "A World Without Thieves" is the work of Feng Xiaogang, and he played a decisive role in the whole movie.

Shen Xudong's so-called producer is just a signature.

The reason why he was able to be the producer of "A World Without Thieves" is also a kind of competition between the behind-the-scenes funding parties-Hua Yi pushed Chen Guofu to be the producer, and Zhang Guoli and China Film Group naturally had to push someone.

Let's just go to Xu Dong, who just so happens to be one of the screenwriters who signed the script!
The producer is the producer, anyway, it's just a name...

In a sense, producer, director, and producer are intersecting boundaries, and their powers and functions are not strictly divided. Whoever is the leader and decider owns the work.

The leader and decision maker of "A World Without Thieves" is undoubtedly Feng Xiaogang!
Feng Xiaogang himself knows a little about art, props, photography, editing, and screenwriting, and he is used to taking care of everything.

Are you going to fight him for power?

Therefore, whether it is a screenwriter or a nominal producer, what Shen Xudong has to do is to stay in the crew safely and not delay the filming.

But...Feng Xiaogang approached him to propose the whole script discussion...

"Director, you can just tell the actors about this kind of thing!"

"...I'm not familiar with Gong Li, you go!" Feng Xiaogang chuckled, and then his face suddenly became serious: "Besides, Gong Li hasn't left the room for the past few days. I heard that he is researching the character, you go and see the situation... "

"...Success! When will the meeting be held?"

"Is it okay tonight?"

"Tonight..." Shen Xudong looked at the time: "OK, in half an hour..."

Feng Xiaogang was surprised: "It's only half an hour, you are in your prime!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "...No, director, I'm a serious person!"

Feng Xiaogang was straightforward: "Is half an hour enough?"

"Two hours later... let's start at eight o'clock..."

……

At 07:30 in the evening, the hotel, the big suite, and the oval table in the center, Feng Xiaogang, Huayi’s producer Chen Guofu, and the main actors of "A World Without Thieves" gathered together...

Let's talk about the script!
Let’s talk about other things first, mainly waiting for people——Shen Xudong and Gong Li haven’t come yet...

"How do you feel here? Are you still used to the high altitude?"

Andy Lau nodded: "...I'm okay."

Chen Guofu glanced at Chen Hao, who had a very bad face, and said with a smile, "Hang on...we'll be filming here for ten days, and when the filming is over, we'll go back to BJ!"

"I'm fine... I heard they said it was altitude sickness."

Chen Hao replied, Chen Guofu was about to continue caring, the door opened, and Shen Xudong came in: "Everyone is so early?"

"Yo, Xudong is back..."

"You're exhausted!"

"...I'm writing a new script in my room..."

Chen Hao glanced at him, and then asked, "Gong Li... Where's the teacher?"

"Mr. Gong Li also has a little altitude sickness... I'll come over later!"

Chen Guofu: "Then let's not wait for her?"

Feng Xiaogang said: "Let's wait..."

That is, this script discussion meeting is to discuss the personalities of several important characters.

Gong Li is the heroine.

she won't come to...

Oh, the reason why she came late was mainly to avoid suspicion, and she also wanted to recover.

Shen Xudong didn't have any altitude sickness, he was alive and kicking...

Three shots fired in two hours, um, three shots are amazing!
Anyway, it was almost eight o'clock before she entered the room, said hello, and sat next to Andy Lau.

When everyone arrived, Feng Xiaogang said, "Xiao Shen, tell me!"

"Okay!" Shen Xudong stood up and said with a smile: "The director told me last week that he was worried that everyone's acting styles would be different, which would cause the whole show to be divided in terms of performance... Then I discussed with the producer and decided to hold a script discussion meeting , let’s talk freely, talk about our understanding of the character, and let’s study the character’s heart and behavior logic together to see if it’s reasonable…”

Then, he said to Ge You: "Master, let's start first, make a sample!"

Ge Youmansi said methodically: "I'm playing Uncle Li, the king of thieves. He has his own team and is dormant on the train. People on the road respect him very much. As long as he wants to get it, he can hardly get it." Hand... What I thought at first was that such a person usually has a low-key image, but after being reminded by the screenwriter, this Uncle Li has several murders on his body, so he must have a sinister side!"

"In addition, he has always wanted to pull Wang Bo into the team. It must be because of the idea of ​​checks and balances. After all, the second child under him and Xiaoye have a lot of conflicts..."

"I think Uncle Li wants Xiaoye to inherit his position. This character is young, obedient, impulsive, and easy to control. He can "listen to the government behind the curtain". If the second child takes the position, he will be kicked out of the team!"

"So, his recruitment of Wang Bo is actually to expand the strength of his direct line... First, the second child has a relatively high prestige among the bottom brothers, and has already posed a threat to Xiaoye, his chosen heir;
Second, Wang Bo's thief skills are superb, able to suppress the field, Xiaoye's technique can't suppress the second child, but Wang Bo can, Uncle Li's idea is to include Wang Bo into the direct line, Xiaoye + Wang Bo, he has a chance to win in the team I'm holding it. "

"In addition, regarding the relationship between Uncle Li and Xiaoye...the relationship between the two is not only a master-student relationship, but also a lover relationship. In addition, I think he should have a little love."
