At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 452
Actually, "Seven Swords Under Tianshan" was broadcast first!

Let’s be honest, the TV series version of "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" is really good, whether it is a play or an emotional drama, coupled with a wonderful soundtrack, Xu Ke's first TV series has been unanimously recognized by the audience and martial arts fans...

Then there was news that Wang Xiaolie directed "Heroes"...

——Jin Yong seals the pen and the ancient dragon dies, and there are only heroes in the rivers and lakes!
Unfortunately, apart from hardcore martial arts fans, no one pays attention to it...

Shen Xudong knew about this when he was being interviewed.

Let’s put the facts in perspective. Mainland China published the first 6 chapters (3 volumes in total) of [-] sets of the first [-] chapters of “Heroes” as soon as it became influential. I don’t know how many were sold. publishing.

As for "Only Heroes in Jianghu", if you have read "Heroes", even if you are a core fan, a die-hard fan, or a hardcore fan, if you say that the first six chapters are logical and meaningful, and the novel of Qingming Riverside Picture, then... I think what we should read is not a book!

Why no adaptation?
This is the case with TV dramas. The entire story of "Heroes" was originally scheduled to be 60 episodes when the copyright was purchased for the first time. After writing the script, I realized that it was 120 episodes. The budget was not enough, so I took a few episodes. Forget about the flowers...

Therefore, Shen Xudong's answer was very simple: "I haven't watched "Heroes"..."

As for the expectations of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Shen Xudong said: "The Condor Heroes should be the last Jin Yong drama I wrote for Mr. Zhang Jizhong... From the perspective of the script, I think it is the most close to the original work. Of course, I hope it will be hit. !"

"Mr. Jin Yong's [-] novels, the snow shoots the white deer, and the laughing book hero leans on the biyuan... I have participated in "Tianlong" and "Sculpture of God", and I am already very satisfied!"

"I think the background color of "Sculpture of God" is sadness.

Guo Xiang searched for Yang Guo in most of the Central Plains but found nothing, and became a monk alone to start a school; the honest and warm-hearted Guo Daxia, the clever and clever Huang Gangzhu, and even the love or hate Miss Guo, and even the loyal and sincere big and small who have been crushed by the protagonist. Brother Wu and Guo Polu, who had no sense of existence, were all destroyed and killed.

There will be no Wujue in later generations, and no one will mention Wujue.

There are no seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River.There is no Peach Blossom Island, Hundred Flowers Valley...

The Condor is not the end of the legends of several heroes, but the end of the stories of heroes of an era. "

"Life is unsatisfactory, out of ten out of ten..."

"Actors... I won't talk about it, and I can't be the master, so I made "The Best Housekeeper" later. As for the actors, I am in full control!"

"Is it because of a conflict with Zhang Jizhong?"

"That's okay...he is a producer and has his own considerations, I'm just a screenwriter..."

Well, when "Sculpture of God" was first broadcast, there were a lot of scolding...

Xiao Yang Guo, played by Tinker Bell, I don’t know if it’s his own understanding or the production team’s problem...

Most of the comments are 'Xiao Yang Guo is not a good actor, it's not that he acted badly, it's that he looks too good..."

Indeed, Tinker Bell's appearance doesn't match Yang Guo's at all!
However, Huang Xiaoming is not much better—"Huang Xiaoming is more than handsome, but not handsome. He is more suitable to play Yang Guo 16 years later. The one 16 years ago is too reluctant." "Huang Xiaoming's version of Yang Guo is a bit like Ma Jingtao, but not as good as Ma Jingtao." Jing Tao is just exaggerating, and he always makes a fuss of 'ah, ah, ah', which is really annoying."

It was only after Xiaolongnv came out that the reputation gradually changed.

It can be said that all the bonuses of "Sculpture of God" were transferred to Liu Yifei!
……

About "Sculpture of the Gods", Shen Xudong wrote several promotional articles, and by the way, reprinted them on the blog...

The analysis only focuses on the original work itself, such as "Guo Fu and Yuan Ziyi, the top two annoying ghosts of Jin Yong's martial arts", "Little Guo Xiang and King Jinlun Fawang's Master-Apprentice Love", "Look at this white cloud that gathers and disperses, Gathering and reunion, life parting and parting, same thing"...

Let’s add up to a dozen articles, all of which were written before, sorted it out, and sent it directly to "BJ Youth"...

Then?

Then get busy with your own business...

Whether "Sculpture of God" is good or bad has nothing to do with him. In fact, apart from his fans, few people pay attention to "Sculpture of God". The screenwriter of "Sculpture of God" is him...

Most of the audience's attention is on the actors.

Shen Xudong didn't bother to rub the heat anymore, "Life Events" is about to start filming!

The third film produced by the company, written and produced by Shen Xudong, starring all mainland actors, cost 1500 million yuan, and the advertising placement was close to 600 million yuan—there were not too famous actors, and advertisers did not dare to take risks...

The four leading actors, Deng Chao, Huang Bo, Zeng Li and Song Zuer have gathered in Wuhan...

Insert a sentence: The actors' remuneration, including the remuneration of several major supporting roles plus one piece, is less than 300 million.

Deng Chao paid 20 yuan, Huang Bo 20 yuan...

This is the case at this stage, with a total of 3000 yuan for the screen, making a movie is a waste of money, just get a symbolic salary and forget it!

The original words: "If you want to make money, make a TV series!"

To sum it up, Shen Xudong's original idea was that the launch conference would not be complete, and the filming would start directly!
But...the company didn't think so, because "Life Events" is a commercial film, and the investment of 1500 million yuan is not low, so you have to promote it!
Holding the opening ceremony is not a matter of face, but can really play a role in publicity.

Movies are a commodity in themselves, and every effort must be made to get audiences to pay for tickets.

Publicity matters!

Half of the opening ceremony is held for theaters.

Because the number of shows arranged by theaters is often based on the lineup and publicity of the movie.

The bigger the lineup, the more movie bosses with better publicity will play.

The more times a movie is arranged, the more audiences it contacts, the wider the spread, and the better the box office;
If the publicity is not in place, there will be fewer people watching, and there will be fewer screenings in theaters. This has also led to many good movies, but word of mouth cannot be spread, so they can only be drawn in a hurry.

The launch conference of "Life Events" was held in Wuhan Tianhe International Cinema...

The partner is also Tianhe Cinema - to solve the location troubles during filming.

A bunch of people are in the backstage lounge.

Except for the director Han Yan, everyone is not nervous. The opening press conference is nothing more than some fixed routines.

I have experienced it all!
Han Yan is the first time...

"Calm down, reporters don't eat people... Generally speaking, reporters don't intentionally make things difficult. If you really have any difficult questions to answer, you can push them to me."

After comforting him a few words, Shen Xudong joined Deng Chao's discussion...

Deng Chao received an audition invitation for "The Deer and Ding Tale", and he has ideas about Wei Xiaobao!
"Don't think about it, "The Deer and Ding Tale" is a drama after Zhang Jizhong joined Huayi, and all the actors belong to Huayi!"

"...Then who can play Wei Xiaobao?"

"Huang Xiaoming!"

Huang Bo immediately retorted: "...How is it possible, he just played Yang Guo!"

Yeah, how is that possible?
Yang Guo and Wei Xiaobao use the same actor?
Does Zhang Jizhong understand casting?

"...Linghu Chong and Guo Jing can both use the same actor...Did I refuse the scriptwriting invitation for "The Deer and Ding Tale" even though I didn't watch it!"
