At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 348 "Republic of China Detective"

There are too many stories to adapt in the period of the Republic of China!

Eight Strange Cases in Tianjin, Twelve Strange Cases in Shanghai...

"My idea is to link these strange cases together... Two detectives, one is a returnee from studying in the West and knows a lot about numerology and criminal investigation, and the other is a native-born detective family..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong said again: "...There must be someone who can fight..."

"Trio?"

"Well, let's use the "Haihe Floating Corpse Case" for the first case... I was shocked when I read this material!"

The director nodded: "The case of the floating corpse in the Haihe River... also works!"

The Haihe Floating Corpse case is a very famous case. Almost everyone who has a little memory of folklore knows this case. It is the Haihe Floating Corpse...

Many people said that it was the water ghost who took his life, and some said that he took opium...

The truth is that the Japanese invaders stationed in Tianjin built the Hedong Juzi barracks, and later built the Jindong Limingzhuang barracks. For this reason, the Japanese army recruited a large number of Chinese laborers to build turrets and fortifications for them.

Most of these workers were from poor people in Hebei and Shandong. During the construction of the fortifications, a large number of workers were overwhelmed and died of disease or starvation. In order to conceal the truth, the Japanese hired local gang members and threw the dead workers into the Haihe River.

Toss more and gather together!

Later, after the construction of the barracks was completed, the Japanese people were worried about leaking military secrets and refused to pay wages, so they colluded with local gangs in Tianjin, murdered the workers, emptied the laborers of their money, stripped off their clothes, and dumped their bodies in the Haihe River...

Floating corpses are only a few. Japanese people throw corpses into the Haihe River every day, and the corpses thrown away at night have flowed into the Bohai Sea by the next morning...

"That deserves a name?"

"Just call it "Republic of China", right?"

"...Okay, you write the script as soon as possible, and I will hold a script review as soon as I get the script!"

"Ok!"

The so-called script review is literally.

It's not about first trial or second trial...

That's right, there is a strict process for movie channels to acquire movies. Movie channels are directly managed by ministers. In order to prevent problems in various links, a lot of links have been set up to prevent manual operations.

First trial, second trial, etc.

It's very complicated, let's just talk about the first trial.

In this review process, 30 to [-] people will be randomly selected from various relevant units. After watching the film together, everyone will rate it together.

First of all, the 30 people are randomly selected, and no one can influence these 30 people, because they do not know who the 30 people are in advance, and only when they are notified and go to the screening room, will they know who is going to review today.

Moreover, every reviewer comes from various public offices, and everyone is a civil servant.

To influence [-] civil servants for a movie?
Not to mention the difficulty, the key is not directly proportional to the income - because the movie channel receives movies, I heard that the highest quality is more than 200 million. Generally speaking, more than 100 million is normal. Only those with a particularly high market response will give 300 million Ten thousand!
Many local movies will send a document through the local government, requesting that the movie be given to the movie channel for free, and request not to go through the first trial. Movie channels generally accept free movies, but the first trial still has to go...

Shen Xudong doesn't need to go through this link, he is a cooperative relationship - just like "The Swordsman in Guanzhong" produced by Feng Xiaogang as the director...

Because he already has enough popularity!

Of course, we still need to pay attention to the script, not to go too far...

……

Farewell to the director, Shen Xudong drove Gao Fenfen home.

The two first chatted about the script creativity of "The Strange Case of the Republic of China".

"Because I had a lively chat with a writer a few days ago, and he is very familiar with things in Tianjin."

"Who is it?"

"My name is Zhang Muye, and my pen name is Tianxia Bachang... His novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was published by us, and I even spent 200 million to buy the film and television adaptation rights!"

Gao Fenfen frowned: "You paid 200 million for the adaptation rights? Why didn't you tell me?"

Shen Xudong explained: "I bought it with Shen Haobo..."

"Yo, Shen Haobo also wants to do film and television?"

"...Almost, there is no separation of family and entertainment!"

Gao Fenfen no longer struggled with this, but asked: "Then do you have time to write "Republic of China"?"

"I wrote the first case, and Zhao Xin was very interested in these anecdotes of the Republic of China. When the time comes, let him take over the second case... I'm just a little worried!"

"worry about what?"

Shen Xudong said: "The cost of 200 million is still a bit too low, and if you don't pay attention, you will overspend."

"It's true..."

Gao Fenfen nodded earnestly, and was silent for a long time before saying: "It's okay, our quality is the king, if we really can't do it, discuss it with the director, theaters and TV stations will launch it at the same time!"

"Then the theater is capable?"

"Why don't you do it? It's not that movie channels haven't done this before, it's just that most of the TV movies that were released in theaters didn't do well at the box office!"

This is true, "Once Upon a Time in Taiwan", "My Years in France" including "81 Frames", when the project was approved, it was only a TV movie standard, and later, it was upgraded...

Simply show it in theaters first!
This topic is over, we talked about actor selection, Shen Xudong's suggestion, Huang Bo must have it, and then find a handsome guy...

"Looking for Deng Chao again?"

"Whatever, you can sign a newcomer!"

"...I think that Zhu Yawen is pretty good!"

Shen Xudong said indifferently: "Then sign it."

"Cheng..." Gao Fenfen calculated: "Chen Hao, Huang Bo, Zhu Yuwen...there is still a lack of a woman..."

"Isn't Chen Xi counted?"

"Chen Xi has changed her name, she is now called Chen Zhixi, and she is going to be a full-time producer!"

"It's been renamed...Chen...what?"

Shen Xudong froze for a moment, and almost stepped on the brakes...

Gao Fenfen didn't understand, so: "Chen Zhixi...Is there a problem?"

Shen Xudong quickly waved his hands: "No..."

I just said that this girl looks like she is doing great things, and it turns out that she is Chen Zhixi!

Ten billion producers!

"Thailand", "Pancake Man", "Detective Chinatown" series, "Love Saint", "Send You A Little Red Flower", "Hello, Li Huanying"...

Big boss level!

Gao Fenfen looked at Shen Xudong suspiciously: "... I always feel that you are a bit strange..."

"No," Shen Xudong quickly changed the subject: "Didn't you say to accept an actress, accept it!"

"I think that Tong Yali is good!"

"...you can do whatever you want, but I suggest you better find another one..."

"why?"

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"

Nonsense, because she is not good at writing!
Gao Fenfen believed his words and nodded: "Okay, I'll go see if there is a better candidate!"

"The best age is about five years younger than Chen Hao..."

Gao Fenfen waved her hand: "I understand."

Shen Xudong continued to drive, but he was thinking about Chen Zhixi...

This woman's eyesight is really good, investing in "Tai囧" can also say that a blind cat meets a dead mouse, "Pancake Man" and "Detective Chinatown" are her own eyesight!
Especially "Detective Chinatown"...

Chen Sicheng had a very bad reputation at that time, she left Xu Zheng and switched to Chen Sicheng...

No, if Chen Zhixi followed the company, what would Pan Yueming do?
　Thank you for your concern. I have been in my hometown for the past few days, and it is very quiet...
