At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 468 Engage in blockbuster movies...

Shen Xudong was being interviewed by Southern Weekly...

"Southern Weekend" is a very important media at this stage, especially the entertainment edition - the Four Great Stars and the Chinese Film Media Awards, which are all led by the southern media.

They made an appointment for an interview with Shen Xudong, who of course accepted.

The first topic was 'Korea-Baek War'...

"What do you think of the Han-Bai dispute?"

"In the past, literature was actually a channel for class leapfrogging. If you could write something, you could publish an article in national, provincial, or even municipal newspapers and magazines, and it would turn from a sparrow into a phoenix...you could even transfer your job accordingly! But Later, the literary world began to be institutionalized, and with the Writers Association, there was a so-called literary circle... It was different!"

"What's the difference?"

"You have to enter the circle first, become one of them... Join the literary world, join the Writers Association, and then become an authority! What I hate most is a bunch of so-called literary authorities who are caught in the vicious circle of boasting and self-entertainment, and finally , I have to pretend to be sad again, and sigh: Nowadays, young people don’t read literature anymore, and one generation is not as good as the next generation! In fact, serious literature has long been turned into a monopoly game by those who pretend to be serious.”

After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "Every time there are poems and novels that we don't understand, there are always some traditional and mainstream bigwigs who stand up and put up a lot of sour words. In the end, the conclusions are all: there is nothing wrong with the work, it is because the masses cannot understand it. I am really puzzled, everyone has received compulsory education, and Li Bai, Du Mu and Du Fu's poems can understand the artistic conception. I don't believe that your poems can still beat Li Bai and Du Fu. one chip?"

"This time between Korea and Bai, we can also see their natural nepotism, and their interests are naturally connected with each other, and they are deeply bound."

"Then why didn't you say it?"

"It doesn't make any sense. In the Internet age, the threshold for so-called literature is infinitely lowered. Without their approval, will my book not sell well?"

"Then why help Han Han speak?"

"... I have expressed my own point of view from the beginning to the end, but Han Han agrees with mine, so why do you call him helping him? I don't even know him!"

How did the Han-Bai dispute end?
It's nonsensical, the two sides stopped fighting and declared the end...

I don't know if Bai Ye has been corrupted by political power, there is no follow-up...

The topic was just like that, and we talked about movies.

""Republic of China", what I am most satisfied with is not the box office, but the audience's praise... This proves that my point of view all along is correct."

"What point of view?"

"The so-called celebrity box office appeal is all fake. Before a personal brand is formed, whether a movie sells or not depends on the movie itself, not a certain star... At this stage, the brands that have appeal and are recognized by the audience are Zhou Xingchi, Jackie Chan, and Feng Xiaogang. ...My point of view all the time, there is no need to spend a lot of money to find some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars!"

"...what about yourself?"

"I don't count, "Republic of China Detective" is mainly sold because of the promotion + the movie itself..."

"I heard that "Republic of China" was originally a TV movie?"

"Yes, the movie channel wanted us to make a series. I proposed to make a detective series, with the background set in the Republic of China. At that time, Zhang Muye and I talked a lot about Tianjin stories. There was the case of floating corpses in the Haihe River. I wrote a version of it. script…"

About "Republic of China", interviewed for more than half an hour...

The questions were basically cheesy words, and Shen Xudong had already answered them countless times when he was on the road show.

Then, "Southern Weekend" asked "Carol" again...

"...This is an award-winning movie. Killer Films has formulated a complete award-winning strategy. It will debut in Cannes, and then participate in a bunch of film festivals. It will be released in December..."

"It's not following the trend. Todd Haynes, the director of "Carol", has always insisted on making queer films, but none of them has reached the influence of "Brokeback Mountain"..."

"Of course I hope to win the award, but whether I can win the award depends on the taste of the judges."

"Yes, look at Wang Jiawei's taste!"

……

This interview can be regarded as a summary, summarizing "Republic of China" and the dispute between Han and Bai during this period...

After the interview, Shen Xudong took a look at his itinerary...

Finally gone!
The company is a bit too much, it almost treats him as a worker, and when he returns to BJ, he will be interviewed in various ways...

Hardly a good rest.

In the next few days, he plans to stay at home and not go anywhere!
Then, several phone calls came in a row, all about the dinner... and those who wanted to interview in detail...

Shen Xudong basically pushed them all.

"Republic of China" can be regarded as a cooperation project between the company and the movie channel, this piece of cake is not big...

Naturally, it is unlikely to be separated...

It doesn't matter if you don't have a meal or not.

Including some gatherings in the circle, he doesn't want to participate...

It's just too tired!

He was free, and the promotional work of "Republic of China" has basically come to an end...

There is still a lot to discuss about him!
Especially after this issue of "Southern Weekend" was published, my conclusions about the box office appeal of stars and "There is no need to find Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. If the market center of the film is in China, in terms of nationality, our actors are even more national!" ' sparked a lot of discussion online...

In the industry...actually, there are many actors who like it, especially male actors.

At this stage, co-productions belong to the mainstream movies. Mainland actors, especially male actors, can only play supporting roles in co-productions, even if they are already at the level of actor-the typical one is Liu Ye. There are so many roles in "The Promise", why does Liu Ye play that kind of non-committal role? A pleasing ghost wolf?
In terms of appearance and acting skills, Liu Ye completely beat Xie Tingfeng - the latter is only 1 meters...

Shen Xudong's words touched their hearts.

But...it's useless, because so far only one "Republic of China Detective" has sold well at the box office, and it has not formed a scale.

Even... "Republic of China" is considered by many people to be an unpopular genre-at this stage, how to prove that you are a mainstream filmmaker?

Make a blockbuster!
Only when you have planned, produced, and released a blockbuster movie, you are truly awesome.

……

"...Sister, we are just communicating in art, not fighting for life and death. Look at my back!"

Shen Xudong came out of the bathroom a little aggrieved, pointed to his back, and was scratched with bloodstains...

Chen Hao is a little embarrassed...

She is so excited, excited, she likes to grab everywhere.

"...next time I'll trim my nails a bit..."

"Well, let's eat something!"

Shen Xudong dialed the phone number for ordering food.

He came to visit...

To be precise, Chen Hao called him over to visit the set, and Chen Hao was filming "The Legend of Ru Yu"...

Chen Hao changed the topic: "Hey, how much can we earn this time?"

Shen Xudong pondered for a while, and then said: "Chen Xi tell me the approximate data, it should not be less than 1600 million..."

"...Then I am 160 million?"

"You are 10% of the total investment, no less than 300 million..."

Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction: "... quite a lot..."

"That's because you have courage..."
