At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 388 Disputes
When Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang, he said: Kong Ming is like a fish in water.

Well, the allusion is like a fish in water.

Shen Xudong likes this word very much. He also feels that he is very like a fish. Fish cannot live without water, but they can swim more freely in the water...

It's really tiring. After all, the male character for men, the following is hard work...

Now that you're here, be mentally prepared!
Anyway, he was young and strong, and he could stand it.

But Gong Li had to fly to Shanghai early in the morning the next day—the runway promotion.

The six major cities of "National Witness" will hold press conferences!

The main force of publicity has become the actors, so Shen Xudong doesn't need to run away with the group.

So, the art study was only going on for an hour...

……

"Is 'Memoirs of a Geisha' Dominating This Year's Awards Season?"

"I heard that's the case... Do you have any news?"

"I don't work in Hollywood, so what news can I have?" Shen Xudong hesitated, but said: "However, DreamWorks will have "Munich" this year..."

Gong Li was curious: ""Munich"?"

Shen Xudong said: "It's a political suspense film directed by Spielberg. The background is the 1972 Munich Olympics..."

The filming of "Munich" is very hip, not Spielberg at all-a good historical event, but the filming has turned into a running account!
It's normal, it's based on real history, and it's the kind of historical event that hasn't been evaluated so far. Without the classic conflict between personal heroism and evil and powerful enemies, the moral dilemma protagonist can't be established. I feel that Spielberg wants to criticize, But not too dare...

This is not the point, the point is that "Munich" and "Memoirs of a Geisha" are both award-winning works this year. It is impossible for DreamWorks to promote all of them, and one must be discarded...

Gong Li was quite indifferent: "I play this role very seriously, I believe everyone can see it!"

Well, Gong Li did win a lot of Film Critics Association awards for "Memoirs of a Geisha", but unfortunately, he didn't get any important awards, and he didn't even get a nomination. The international chapter was at least relying on his Jewish boyfriend. A Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress!

Shen Xudong changed the topic—the main thing was that Gong Li started to move his hands and feet, and he moved his hands and feet, so it was not a chat.

But he still wanted to say something, so he hurriedly asked: "The filming of "Old Thousand" will start in October...Do you have any questions?"

"I'm fine here!" When talking about work, Gong Li became serious...

She played the role in "Old Thousand" in "Shake Ah Shake to Grandma Bridge", but the image of Xiao Jinbao is more conscientious. Although she is a dancer, she cares about poor farmers...

Ms. Zheng in "Old Thousands" used her body as a tool to exchange money...

But she ranks very high!

Femme fatale!

Gong Li suddenly asked: "... Is there any problem with Deng Chao?"

"What do you think of the play lunatics we play?"

"If you're in the middle of the show, then there's no problem!"

……

Deng Chao is studying with a teacher——"The Old Thousand", of course, he does not need to master all the outstanding old thousand skills of the male protagonist, but there is a long shot that requires a certain amount of skill. The crew contacted an old man for help. Thousand masters...

"Old Thousand" officially appointed him as the leading actor, and it was Gong Li who acted for him!
The pressure is great.

Of course, besides studying, he also cares about the film market. After "Witness of All" was released, he cared more about the box office performance than Shen Xudong.

As a result, 880 million on the first day, 1600 million on the second day, and 1860 million on the third day!
4340 million in the first weekend!
Although this result is not as good as the 5500 million in the first weekend of "House of Flying Daggers", it is already the highest market performance this year!
And the reputation is not bad.

Most of the print media and portal websites gave a more pertinent evaluation: "Basically represents the highest level of Chinese suspense films!"

"Stunning! The appearance of "Witness of the People" has brought a touch of color to the long-suffering domestic films. The layer-by-layer drama structure and multi-perspective narrative are still rare in domestic films, and Shen Xudong is worthy of it!"

"Shen Xudong is definitely a die-hard fan of Akira Kurosawa, and it is also a Rashomon-style structure. It is told from multiple perspectives, with complementary clues, and advances layer by layer. The "truth" is constantly established and broken, and finally assembled into a whole picture. In domestic movies It’s really rare. Although the overall effort is a bit too much, and the emotional rendering is also deliberate, but it must be praised for being able to write the script with such care!”

Of course, there are also bad reviews, and many...

"The law is serious, why do you want to shoot something that is more humane than legal?"

"Daughter killed someone, and a group of people shouted that she is still a child, Dad loves you, let her go, the money is spent, the perjury is perjury, the top bag is the top bag, what does this film want to convey?"

The two sides quarreled, but there was a consensus: the plot is very good!
Deng Chao felt itchy, so he simply bought a ticket...

……

"National Witness" is actually a movie about fatherly love and redemption.

The rich man's daughter killed his stepmother, and the rich man took the blame...

There is nothing to say about the content.

When the storyline cannot make a big breakthrough, it is really a good way to start with the structure!

"National Witness" is like this, from the perspective of the public, the perspective of the prosecutor, the perspective of the lawyer, and the perspective of the rich, through flashbacks, the truth is finally pieced together!

Deng Chao enjoyed watching it very much, and he probably understands why so many viewers give it good reviews, and at the same time understands why so many people say that this drama has bad guidance...

After careful analysis, it was obviously the daughter who committed the crime—hit and killed someone by driving while drunk!

The rich dad spends money to buy the best lawyers, and can even easily create perjury to form a complete chain of evidence...

Of course, in the end the daughter realized her mistake and came out to surrender herself.

But... something doesn't feel right...

Walking out of the movie theater, I bought a newspaper - the front page of the entertainment was "Shen Xudong talks about "National Witness""...

"I first wanted to write a book about fatherly love...you can never imagine how much parents can sacrifice for their children, and then I read Alan Parker's "The Life of David Gore" and thought To write a story about a father who takes the blame for his daughter...inspired by "Witness for the Prosecution"..."

"About the problem of guiding the audience to criticize...Actually, when I was writing the script, I didn't take this into consideration. I just ran towards one goal: the audience wants Lin Tai to be exonerated, and the script must let Lin Tai die!"

"I didn't expect that the audience would think that I was promoting something... Movies, especially commercial movies, are about telling, not educating the audience... After watching it, feeling it is enough."

"I must emphasize that I did not whitewash Lin Tai. He is still a villain, but he is just a touching father. This is not the same thing at all! Can't a villain love his own daughter? And in the end, Lin Mengmeng meditated on the dragon The legend of backing the mountain, and then dialed the phone number to surrender, and the real criminals were also educated, the evil does not suppress the good..."

"Our film is fully in line with the release process. I don't understand why someone would suggest that it be released... This is a typical relic of the authoritarian era!"

Deng Chao enjoyed reading it, especially the last sentence...

Opening the second edition, the headline reads 'Shen Xudong and other talents we don't know about? '
