At first, I just wanted to make money

The "Rise to Fame" project has been announced...

The gorgeous starring lineup is jaw-dropping: Chen Daoming, Ge You, Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Zhang Guoli, Feng Xiaogang, Hu Jun, Wu Jing and Shen Teng...

Director and screenwriter Shen Xudong!

This behind-the-scenes lineup includes almost the top cast in the mainland...

Is Shen Xudong's first directorial play so luxurious?
"Everyone is cheering, this scene is also simple... Just find a big villa with the style of the Republic of China to shoot..."

"I don't need any advanced directing skills, the simplest triangular photography is fine, and I asked Mr. Zhang Li to do the photography, and he also helped with the lens design...he is also one of the directors..."

"Uncle Feng is going to play a role. If you are free, I can help you. If Mr. Jiang Wen and Uncle Guo Li are struggling, you can also name them as directors. Let's try to finish the filming in a month..."

"When will it be released?"

Shen Xudong: "I want to compete with Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" in summer next year...but on second thought, I guess the post-production will be finished in August, so let's release it on National Day!"

"...Isn't it the Lunar New Year festival?"

"That can't be done. There is Uncle Feng's "Mobile Phone 2" during the New Year's Eve. We also invested in this drama... If you beat yourself up, wouldn't you be a fool?"

The company has already calculated: "Crazy Racing" will be on the Lunar New Year file...

As for next year's summer, "Exquisite Ancient City" will compete with "Red Cliff"...

Well, Wu Yusen PK Xu Ke, let's continue the old hatred!
The costume and art design of "Exquisite Ancient City" is Li Miao, an art director born in the 80s. After "Legend of Shushan", Xu Ke became nondescript in terms of color, setting, and props, neither medium nor foreign...

"Exquisite Ancient City" is an oriental adventure film, and there must be no western monsters!
……

"I heard that you are going to make a sequel to "Zhao Zilong"?"

"...Well, I had this plan, but the discussion fell apart..."

"The talk broke down?"

Shen Xudong said casually: "Li Rengang wants to be the screenwriter himself and make a sequel to "Zhao Zilong" according to his ideas. We disagree and are planning to change the director!"

Huang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment: "... change director?"

"I'm the producer, and I want to control the progress of the entire series. I can do whatever he says I want? Then I'll make a sequel to Mao?" Speaking of this, Shen Xudong sighed: "And he has already pulled Invest and prepare to start anew!"

"...start anew?"

"Yes, it seems to be called "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor"...Andy Lau played the male lead..."

"Then... what about the sequel to "Zhao Zilong"?"

"...I don't know. I came back this time to solve this matter!"

Li Rengang is also a director with his own ideas. His debut work "Black Man" gained fame...

This time "Zhao Zilong" sold over 8000 million US dollars in Asia, and European and American film studios are also very interested...

How much credit is due to Li Rengang?

No one knows, but it does not prevent Li Rengang from becoming famous. The key is that companies like Media Asia and Meiya are also willing to invest in his "Dragon Unloading Armor"-follow the trend!

Of course, there is also the intention of teaming up to attack Jiahe...

After all, after Shen Xudong took over Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest has returned to courage in various ways, and the cake is so big. As the most direct competitor, they certainly don't want Golden Harvest to be successful.

Those who can make stumbling blocks make stumbling blocks, step on them if they can...

Anyway, Shen Xudong is a land turtle, so it's not easy to handle him?
What, he opened up the North American channel?

Then... let's intercept Director Hu...

As for why Andy Lau agreed to act?
It must be human favors or something - "Infernal Affairs" back then, thanks to Media Asia's financial investment...

Andy Lau, really, he made it for the sake of filming, one bad film after another!
"Future Tiaozi", "I Know Women's Hearts", "Fuchun", "Omen 3", "Ace Teases Ace"...

A series of bad movies come down... This is still on the premise that there are works of acceptable quality from time to time.

I'm going to kill myself and lose the basic disk bit by bit.

In this case...

"Zhao Zilong" sequel?
Continue?
It's a big deal not to do it!

If it's difficult, then don't do it (picture of the crow flipping the table)...

"... Is there a big contradiction?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "The directors in Hong Kong have a poor background and vision. Let me tell you about the plot of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor". At first he was Zhao Zilong's elder brother, but later Zhao Zilong's reputation overshadowed him...he became jealous, defected to Cao Wei, and plotted against Zhao Zilong..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong asked back: "Brother, work hard, betray...do you look like Young and Dangerous?"

Huang Zhonglei was also a little speechless: "...who will invest in this thing?"

"People in Hong Kong filmmakers are willing to believe this..."

"What now?"

Shen Xudong said: "... Japanese investors and Korean investors want to make "Cao Cao" and "Guan Yunchang"..."

"...isn't it easy to do?"

Shen Xudong didn't speak, but said: "...Anyway, I will definitely not cooperate with the filmmakers from Hong Kong this time..."

……

This feeling of being backstabbed is too uncomfortable!

Not only Shen Xudong was angry, but the entire Tianmei Media including Jiahe was also very angry...

I'm on a horse, because of Li Rengang, the planned Three Kingdoms series fell through...

Originally, I was thinking of continuing to let Andy Lau film the second part, but this guy also left with Li Rengang...

Zhong Lifang was so angry that she almost vomited blood...

The Three Kingdoms series is a big project entrusted to her by Shen Xudong. The first part has just ended, so there is no follow-up?

The point is that you can't sue, because anyone can shoot Three Kingdoms...

Shen Xudong returned to the company, and saw Gao Fenfen, who yelled at Li Rengang...

Shen Xudong chuckled: "It's a big deal, haven't we talked with CJ and Dongzhu, and we're going to shoot "Cao Cao"..."

"...Then there won't be a sequel to "Zhao Zilong"?"

Shen Xudong continued to smile: "I won't do it... I'm not very interested in making a sequel. If it wasn't for making money, I wouldn't agree to your suggestion!"

With a few words, Gao Fenfen's mood improved a lot...

Mainly, Shen Xudong looked indifferent, and shared with her the real benefits of "Juno" by the way...

"Earn so much?"

"Well, so, "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Happy Death Day" also use Golden Harvest's label..."

"...I have to tell Zhong Lifang quickly, you don't know, because of the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", Golden Harvest's stock price has plummeted all the way..."

Hearing this, Shen Xudong also felt a little distressed: "How much did you fall?"

"The market value is less than 8 million..."

"...Fucking grass!"

Couldn't help cursing...

Less than 8 million, that is, a drop of more than 4 million!

Really Nima, it's too cheating...

Shen Xudong suppressed his anger, and continued to smile: "Sister Gao? Is "New World" released?"

"Failed to pass the review... Golden Harvest is planning to arrange it in mid-April..."

"Mid-April? Why not May [-]st?"

"Spider-Man 3 coming out on May 5?"

"...Oh!" Shen Xudong turned around and wanted to leave: "I'll go find Chen Xi..."

"Don't worry," Gao Fenfen yelled at him: "Here is the income from "Before Dawn". If there is no problem, sign it!"

"..."Before Dawn", how is the ratings?"

"What else can I do...annual blockbuster."
