At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 549 Nonsense...

Zhao Linhai was a little worried about Shen Xudong's mental state...

After staying in a dormitory for three or four years, he knew that Shen Xudong was only thinking about making money.

Whoever hinders him from making money is the opponent!

The current situation is obvious: Media Asia, Meiya and China Star teamed up to strangle Golden Harvest...

Uh, with a total investment of 3500 million U.S. dollars, "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" is jointly produced by Media Asia, Meiya, and China Star, and the distribution in the mainland is handed over to Bona...

Sequel fails, whole series suffers...

Golden Harvest's share price also fell.

Shen Xudong can't lose his judgment because of this...

"Business competition is normal. In the past two years, we have been very smooth, and most of the recruiters are Hong Kong filmmakers, giving them an illusion that we will not make movies without them!"

Shen Xudong is quite open about this matter...

It is essentially a business competition!

Of course, if Shen Xudong's own reputation reaches the level of universal response, this group of people will definitely not be a stumbling block for the blind girl...

If China Film Han Shanping hosted the Three Kingdoms series...

China Film may not be useful, after all, it is not a later generation—it is 2007, and the mainland film market has been booming since "Lost in Thailand" in 2012. The industry is slowly exploring the market and audience's tendencies and preferences...

Later, it was almost easy to make a hit.

And whether it is the main theme, comedy or bitterness, love or animation theme, it can be said to be handy, and you can pick it up at your fingertips.

Under this trend, the cards of Hong Kong filmmakers began to dissipate bit by bit...

Even Liang Chaowei only has the old with new functions...

There are still five years left!
""On the Journey" can be made into a road comedy, "Back to 20" is a fantasy comedy, and the big movie "Wulin Biography" is a theatrical version of a hit drama... I promised Director Hun Sen that I will do a comedy this year..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong asked back: "If you receive any good scripts, you can also bring them up."

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "There are many types of plots, and there are no works that are eye-catching..."

"Is there any comedy?"

"...Yes...but they are too stupid..." After thinking for a while, Zhao Linhai said: "There is "Second Under Heaven" which is quite good..."

"Second Under Heaven"...

Shen Xudong has a little impression, dialect comedy, starring Mr. Wang Jinsong (pull out the monkey rubber band of your pants, make a slingshot and smash the glass of your house) that...

This movie also has "A Record of Jianghu Lunjian", "Perfect and Nine Perfections", and "Love Call Transfer", all of which are very impressive.

But Douban scores are not high...

——In those years, everyone’s evaluation of the movie was more meaningful!
"Second Under Heaven" has a meaning of picking hair...

"Okay, you think it's good, then do it, the cost is not high?"

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "It's a work of the Youth Film Studio, and I want us to release it for you..."

"The work of Beiying Film?"

"Um…"

Tianmei Media is naturally close to Chinese opera—several top executives are from Chinese opera...

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "If it's really good, let's help release it..."

"it is good!"

Youth Film Studio is a film production organization affiliated to BJ Film Academy...

There is also Chinese opera, called the Film and Television Production Center of the Central Academy of Drama...

But Beijing Film Academy is a film professional school, so, from the day of its birth, there are three or four feature films every year...

When Chen Peisi made a film back then, he bought the quota from the Youth Film Factory!
Later, it became an institution where the school leaders favored the mistress——"One Paper Marriage Contract", the director was the director of Nortel, and the starring role was the young wife born in the 90s.

The dean is indeed very powerful. For the little wife, he used a state-owned film studio to create a marriage contract for her, and even brought in a bunch of big names as supporting roles.

It's a pity that the dean's director's professional level is too poor, the film produced is so bad that it exploded, and it ended in a dismal box office.

However, it doesn't matter, Xiaojiao's wife was crowned the queen of the Italian Chinese Film Festival. After checking, this Italian Chinese Film Festival is also hosted by the BJ Film Academy!

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, a group of people were in Shen Xudong's courtyard...

Well, in fact, the three people in the dormitory came over to have a barbecue.

Say yes to congratulations on his return to China with honors——Oscar Award for Best Original Screenplay!

"The biggest change should be the increase in the price of scripts, right? How much do you charge for writing scripts now?"

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "...I don't know, it's been a long time since I only charged script fees..."

"Xudong himself is an investor and producer...it's impossible to just charge for the script!"

"Then what if we only charge for the script?"

A group of people looked at Shen Xudong, who pondered for a while: "It should be worth 200 million dollars... In fact, mainstream screenwriters in Hollywood have the following three characteristics, namely men, whites and Jews..."

"what?"

"No, it's true!"

Shen Xudong continued: "Also, Hollywood screenwriters obtain commercial benefits according to the business model. For example, if you write a book, a certain company thinks your book is not very good, but the design of the story is interesting, so it will pay you , buy your idea, and they find someone else to rewrite the script. Even if the final book is completely different from your original one, the money given to you will not be returned. In this way, only a few need to be raised Celebrity screenwriter, and a lot of creative ideas..."

Zhao Linhai interjected: "That's right, I used to watch "Tell the Truth", and there was a story like "Good Will Hunting"..."

"Well, China is big, there are many stories, and we are no worse than them..."

"Well said, come on, cheers!"

A few people raised their glasses - drinking beer...

Everyone is an insider, so chatting is naturally a circle.

Of course, the first thing to talk about is Wang Shuo—his new book "My Thousand Years Cold", the publicity is a bit too much, all kinds of jumping up and down, whoever catches and sprays whom...

Scolding Yu Hua, Jia Pingwa, Yu Qiuyu...

Anyway, offend anyone who can be offended, and brag about my novels by the way—"What is the "Book of Songs", only the "Tao Te Ching" can match"...

In fact, "Looks Beautiful" sold 99 copies in 40, and he was already dead. The reason why he was bragging all over the place this time was to sell books!
"My Chitose Cold" is not selling well, with less than 20 sales in a month...

"The occasional success made him linger on the lost path..."

"Time has abandoned him..."

"I think what he wrote is not so alive..."

Shen Xudong had a different opinion. After a group of people discussed for a long time, he said: "Actually, a writer's creative ability is similar to that of a man. He is the most creative when he is 18 or 20 years old. Although the technology is flawed, he has so many inspirations that he feels useless." It can’t be finished, you can spray it casually...it reached its peak around the age of 30, the energy has not declined too much, and the technology has reached proficiency;
After the age of 40, the creative ability drops sharply, and the year after year is not as good as the year, and the intention is weak and powerless...

In fact, the death of a great writer at the age of 50 does not affect his position in the history of literature... By the way, Tolstoy is a rare genius who can write large tomes when he is over 70! "

"What about Wang Shuo?"

"Don't worry, there is a kind of man who has good physical strength, skilled skills, and enough hardness, but he is too excited mentally, so the time is very short...Wang Shuo is a typical man who has a lot of creativity and poor endurance. Look at him The novels he wrote when he was young are full of golden sentences, but the books are unfinished. He has no patience to manage a novel well. Patience is also a kind of ability. Of course, it can be delayed by taking medicine, but it is unnatural... Even when I was young, I couldn’t handle it. , now that I’m old, it’s even worse!”

Zhao Linhai concluded: "Don't say it so bluntly... In fact, there is a peak period for writing, and there are highs and lows. Writing requires strength. Most of the truly powerful works are in the prime of the writer. Completed, very few people can create the pinnacle of work in their later years... It is normal for a writer to be over 40 years old and not as good as the other!"
