At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 372 It's just the afterglow of the old era!

Isn't this riding a face-to-face NTR?
Shen Xudong glanced at Wang Shuo...

The latter looked normal, even with some smiles.

Shen Xudong was very surprised about the relationship between Wang Shuo and Xu Cairen...

But after thinking about it, I was relieved!
You see, Xu Cairen "composed a love song" with Wang Shuo first, and then with the musician Sambo, and after the end with Sambo, he turned around and continued to linger with Wang Shuo;
Then he got into a heated fight with Huang Jiao and Zhang Yudong...

Wang Shuo probably got used to it!
She is quite capable, she gets together with every boyfriend, and when she mentions it, she always speaks well of each other, with a smile, thankful for meeting her.

In fact, from a man's point of view, a pure female star who advertises as a talented woman is actually unrestrained and unentangled, which must be extremely attractive.

Regarding "Scarred City", Shen Xudong explained: "Media Asia has cooperated with us, and "Scarred City" also invited us to produce together at the very beginning!"

"You also have investment?"

"...I don't know the details..."

"Scarred City", the company should have invested a little, but only a little, because the cost of this film is too high!

Not to mention the actors, the filmmakers behind the scenes are paid as high as 1000 million!
With the popularity of the "Infernal Affairs" series, the salary of the trio composed of Liu Weiqiang, Mak Siu-fai, and Zhuang Wenqiang has also risen accordingly. Decided to develop separately.

And "Scarred City" is their last collaboration.

Because of the upcoming farewell, there are so many things I want to do.Everyone hopes to make this work a success and reshape its glory.

Therefore, "Scarred City" is a movie full of countless ideas, and there are too many things to express.

Here comes the problem, a movie can last up to two hours, and there is no room for so many things - I want literature and art, suspense, and awards, which makes the whole movie difficult to understand!
This should be the biggest reason why the box office failed to break through [-] million...

Well, Xu Cairen is the heroine of "Scarred City", including Media Asia's blockbuster "Voice of Name", Xu Cairen is also the heroine!

Zhang Guoli said: "Now it's called a co-production..."

Wang Shuo interjected: "I'm just annoyed by those Hong Kong people... "Infernal Affairs 3", what is the name of Dao Ming's performance! When I first appeared, I was very awkward, and I didn't fit in with the people around me. Ouch, I really want to drag him out! "

"Aren't the context and cultural atmosphere different? Actors from mainland China are not acclimatized to Hong Kong..."

"In the current situation, people have made it clear that they are taking advantage. If we used to play a supporting role in their movie, it would be reasonable. But this is a co-production, and we also contribute money and effort. You said that actors like the director are all in it. They play supporting roles..."

A little embarrassed, Zhang Guoli hesitated: "Then the director, and the audience also recognizes them..."

Shen Xudong explained: "Actually, in the original script of "Infernal Affairs 3", Mr. Chen's role is quite important, because the original script revolved around the death of Chen Yongren and the collapse of Han Yi's gang, but it was later changed to If you hire the police as an undercover agent, then Teacher Chen's role will be superfluous!"

"Then why didn't the director refuse to act?"

"...Teacher Chen himself said that he wanted to cooperate with the Hong Kong team..."

……

Let’s stop this topic, Wang Shuo has always felt that he is the center, and he doesn’t like Hong Kong and Taiwan culture...

Back then, I summed up the four major customs: the Four Heavenly Kings, Jackie Chan movies, Qiong Yao TV series and Jin Yong's novels, which can be said to be the four major customs...

It is written in "I see Jin Yong" that "we have our own things, new era literature, rock, generations of teachers and students of BJ Film Academy and ten years of creation of BJ Television Art Center.Now they are all shrinking, and it can be said that they have completely fallen in terms of popular taste! '

Therefore, it is understandable that he does not like co-productions.

Zhang Guoli said, "I heard that you have made a spy movie with Beijing Television Center?"

"Hmm..."The Conspiracy", the original work of Mr. Mai Jia... and the script was already written when it was published, we bought it and changed it, and then shot it straight away!"

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​spying?"

Xu Cairen also interjected: "It is difficult to recover the cost of investing in spy war dramas now!"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that, in fact...before "Assassination", spy war dramas were more called "anti-special dramas". few.

"Gunshots from the Secrecy Bureau", "Plum Blossom File" and so on...

The story is certainly good, but the biggest problem is that the plot is relatively flat, the enemy and the enemy have less means, and there is no suspense!
And... At this stage, everyone is very resistant to the main theme. The core content of anti-special dramas is anti-special, so they must sing the main theme...

After thinking for a while, Shen Xudong replied: "The most interesting thing about spy war dramas is actually catching the ghosts and passing the news. How to spread the news while the group of enemies are watching, this has its own suspense!"

"Find the ghost? Just like a Hong Kong movie?"

"Yes... there are Morse codes, the code-named XX project, secret codes and slang words, etc. I read the book "Assassination", and for the first time I felt the industry dry goods that disc war dramas should have."

"What is Morse code?"

Shen Xudong explained casually: "A contact method, originally used to send telegrams... Later, it was used to transmit confidential information, such as the speed of finger clicks, the number represented by the rhythm, and then correspond to the mother text, so that a sentence can be accurately deciphered!"

"Then... you are very optimistic about "The Plot"?"

"It's okay, I mainly want to rely on the North TV Center to open up the sales of this theme. After that, we have prepared several dramas about spy wars!"

Zhang Guoli realized instantly: "Is it like "Golden Branch Desire"?"

"Um…"

"what happened?"

""Golden Branch Desire" set off a wave of the theme of harem fighting, and then they made "Beauty's Scheming", which I heard made tens of millions..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "We are not the investors in "Beauty's Scheming", but we are the ones who invested in the subsequent "Ru Jue Biography"..."

Xu Cairen was curious: "TV drama?"

"Ok!"

She curled her lips and said nothing...

Shen Xudong didn't bother to say anything, the film and television industry despises chains - movies are noble!

……

Afterwards, Wang Shuo talked about life in the United States. Shen Xudong was not interested and just listened quietly.

Just the afterglow of the old days...

At about ten o'clock, the dinner was over, Zhang Guoli called a car to send them off.

Xu Cairen asked Shen Xudong: "Have you drunk too much?"

"...It's okay, go back to sleep and you'll be fine!"

"Then give me your contact information..."

"it is good!"

Shen Xudong nodded, took out his mobile phone, and wrote down her number.

"Do you have an itinerary next?"

"...Going to Chongqing..."

"Why are you going to Chongqing?"

Shen Xudong pulled Ning Hao over: "He makes movies, I'll be the producer!"

Xu Cairen asked curiously, "What movie? Need help?"

Ning Hao didn't speak, Shen Xudong answered for him: "No, low-budget comedy..."

"Then if you're free, call me, I'm always available!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "...OK!"

The car arrived, Shen Xudong and Ning Hao got in the car...

Ning Hao didn't say much all night, he didn't pretend to be deep on purpose, he really didn't know what to say.

"Let's set off on the weekend, do you still lack actors?"

"what…"

"Is there any shortage of actors in "Stone"?"

Ning Hao nodded: "There are still four eyes missing."

"...Let me help you ask Teacher Feng Yuanzheng if he has time..."

Feng Yuanzheng?
Ning Hao immediately thought of An Jiahe and scratched his head: "Feng Yuanzheng...is it suitable?"

"Just put on your glasses..."
