At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 453 If you are not popular, you are not popular!

In the original time and space, Deng Chao almost played Wei Xiaobao...

The brokerage contract failed to go smoothly to Hua Yi - he was still an artist of Pearl Media at the time, and the brokerage company publicly stated that he had never received an invitation, not even a script.

In the end, Huang Xiaoming was settled...

In fact, Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Deer and Ding Tale" respects the original work very much, and the screenwriter found Mr. Gao Dayong, one of the planners and screenwriters of "The Miracle Doctor Xilaile".

Unfortunately, the taste is wrong!
But the biggest problem with this drama is that Huang Xiaoming is not suitable for the role of Wei Xiaobao, no matter in terms of acting skills or his own image.

If it is other TV dramas, it can still help to find a supplement, but "The Deer and Ding Tale" can't, "The Deer and Ding Tale" can be said to be a complete Wei Xiaobao autobiographical novel, and Wei Xiaobao's roles account for more than 99% of the whole book. This kind of supporting role with many roles is to serve to enrich the character of Wei Xiaobao.

Once Wei Xiaobao collapses, no matter how well the supporting actors perform, they won't be able to carry the whole drama.

"The Deer and Ding Tale", the kind that is not easy to reverse the verdict...

Therefore, Shen Xudong simply rejected the invitation to write "The Deer and Ding Tale"...

If Deng Chao successfully joins Huayi, he may be able to star in "The Deer and Ding Tale"...

After all, when he joined Huayi, he directly contributed to "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji"...

It's a pity that during the period of "Yi Tian", director Yu Min completely let go. The weird color palette, changing lighting, and the big dark corner that I don't know why it was added made it impossible for people to watch the plot of the TV series. , sets and actors' performances.

Why did Deng Chao want to pick up "Yitian"?
At this stage, it is the dream of many actors to play the male lead in Jin Yong's works.

Therefore, Shen Xudong asked simply: "...Which character in Jin Yong's works are you most interested in?"

Deng Chao was stunned for a moment: "...I don't have any special ideas either."

Shen Xudong looked at his face: "How is Lin Pingzhi? I think you are quite suitable..."

"Lin Pingzhi?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Well... After a while, I will go to Hong Kong and plan to talk to Mr. Jin Yong. I will not talk about other things. I will definitely remake "Swordsman". Since I bought the adaptation rights, the protagonist will definitely not be Linghu Chong, I'm going to shoot "Swordsman" from Lin Pingzhi's perspective!"

"...Will Mr. Jin Yong agree?"

"Try to persuade..."

Deng Chao nodded: "If you can really remake "Swordsman", I will do it!"

"A word is settled!"

Shen Xudong said cheerfully, "Everyone has to testify!"

In fact, the craze for martial arts is over soon, and "Sculpture of God" can be regarded as a flashback!
In fact, Zhang Jizhong also filmed "The Deer and Ding Tale", "Jade Blood Sword", "Xia Ke Xing"...

But the impact is far less than the previous works.

The reason, probably because the audience didn't like watching it...

The main reason is the loss of freshness. The title of mainland Jin Yong drama was very useful when it first came out, but the more it goes on, the less fresh it is!

Add to that the rise of other genres and antiquity...

To sum up, at the launch conference of "Life Events", the reporters directly asked two questions: why Han Yanlai was chosen to direct and the positioning of "Life Events".

"I have watched several short films of Han Yan, he must be capable, and has a complete plan for filming..."

""The Great Events of Life" can be seen from the title: it tells about death, we Chinese say: there is no big thing except life and death... I have always wanted to write a story about funerals...

But I write scripts, and I hate writing things that are particularly emotional. I think good stories are both sad and happy, because life is like that!
This is a realistic movie, why do I have to do it?In fact, it can be regarded as a way to tell all the audience that domestic realism-themed movies are not all boring movies, they can be very good to watch! "

"Box office forecast... Our cost is 2000 million. If we want to recover the cost, we need at least 6000 million at the box office... Then make up a whole [-] million!"

"It will be released next summer...by then everyone will know the source of my confidence!"

So far, the publicity task is almost done, and some irrelevant topics have been talked about, such as the views on "Sculpture of God".

"I'm also a producer, so I definitely have my own ideas..."Sculpture of God", my opinion is not important. I have already made suggestions when casting the cast, but they didn't adopt it..."

""The Deer and Ding Tale" has nothing to do with me, don't involve me when you report..."

……

Zeng Li plays Yin Baixue.

She is the heroine of "Life Events"...

In fact, "Life Events" has no heroine, and all the story lines revolve around Mo Sanmei and Wu Xiaowen, and the other characters are supporting roles.

Zeng Li accepted this film mainly because she liked the script.

After filming "The Best Family", I handed over the actor's contract to the company...

She is the kind of character who is easy to get rich without much pursuit.

Whether it is not fighting or grabbing, she will accept any script arranged by the basic company...

In fact, she has a starring role in "The Barber" released this year - it is the posthumous work of director Chen Yifei.

Two years ago, the project that I fought with Jiang Wen - Chen Yifei has a very strong personality. He is both the director and one of the investors in this film. Jiang Wen is used to interfering in the shooting, and the two had a big fight...

Hua Yi accepted the issue...

Starring Chen Kun and Zeng Li.

Huayi wants to hype up the scandal and use it to promote the movie.

The company refused, and Zeng Li herself had no idea, so she ran aground...

Shen Xudong asked her why she refused to hype?
Her idea is simple: don't like it!
Well, she is very satisfied with the status quo—there are constant drama appointments, a stable job, and she wants to communicate in art, so she calls Shen Xudong, and the latter responds to her needs...

If you don't have time, you will find time!

For example, now that Shen Xudong is leaving the next day, he still spends the whole night exchanging art...

She has a good sense of adaptation to the lens...

cough cough.

After cleaning up the exchange scene, Zeng Li glanced at Shen Xudong who was recovering the camera memory, and suddenly thought of something: "...you went to Hong Kong to buy the copyright?"

"…copyright?"

"Swordsman, didn't you say..."

"Oh," Shen Xudong explained: "That's just by the way, I'm mainly talking about cooperation, I want to create a few action movies with Golden Harvest..."

"How many?"

"Look at the box office of "Taken" and overseas feedback... If it goes well, I will sign three or five movies..."

"Why an action movie?"

"Because it is difficult for other types of films to enter the overseas market!"

Shen Xudong was very patient, and basically answered whatever she asked.

The time was almost up, Shen Xudong had already put on his clothes and was carrying the suitcase, when he suddenly remembered something, and told Zeng Li: "I think it's better for you to cooperate with the publicity!"

Zeng Li looked puzzled: "Cooperate with what?"

"Advertisement for 'The Barber'!"

"do not want!"

"...Just for the movie... Besides, don't you like "The Barber" too?"

"I don't like this kind of publicity...The film belongs to the film, why should I hype the scandal with the actor?"

"Propaganda... as long as you know it's fake..."

Zeng Li still shook her head: "Stop talking, I won't agree!"

"...Okay, I'll go to Huayi and talk about it..."
