At first, I just wanted to make money

How popular is "Struggle"?
After the TV series aired, when wearing Polo shirts, the collar must be turned up like Lu Tao, and this thing has become a fashion;
In addition, the velvet sports suit in the play has become the best-selling item on Taobao every year!

The price of the necklace worn by Zeng Li, who plays Charlene, soared from 600 yuan to more than 2000 yuan on Taobao!

In addition, the second edition of the novel of the same name printed 50 copies, and it was sold out in just half a month, so another 80 copies were printed...

In fact, the success of "Struggle" mainly lies in the character creation!
The vivid and full characters surpassed the many absurd plots and aroused the resonance of young audiences.

The magnanimous imperfection, the stupid high-spiritedness and reckless optimism belong to that era, and also belong to the youth born in the 80s!

In addition, Shen Xudong feels that the success of "Struggle" is mainly due to the right time-in 2007, young people still have confidence in whether it is the pursuit of wealth or self-realization, thinking that they are worth fighting for-as long as we keep striving, maybe One day the dream will come true.

In a few years, if you watch "Struggle" again, it is impossible to immerse yourself in it!
They only say ' cheating on my father, cheating on me, taking advantage of my ex-girlfriend, having no sense of responsibility, living in a big house, driving an Audi, clamoring: This is not the life I want! '

Or 'The person who really needed to struggle was caught committing suicide in the first episode because of cheating! '

But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that "Struggle" is popular.

The actors also exploded in popularity.

……

Guo Fan, Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin are responsible for filming and recording.

It's called "The Birth of Fame and Li Wan", according to Shen Xudong's intention, shoot as much as possible, edit it into a two-hour record later, and then sell audio-visual copyrights, Internet copyrights, etc...

With the lineup of "Rising Fame", at least 500 million can be earned!
In fact, Shen Xudong is still very restrained - "Rising Fame" does not have any advertisement placement...

The red wine and beverages they drink, including the pens used by Li Jiahui, can be branded. Shen Xudong didn't do that!

Of course, the pre-roll advertising revenue is 1800 million—8 pre-roll ads, each 30 seconds, earning 1800 million.

Oh, pre-roll ads refer to the advertisements that appear with the movies that are shown. Mainland theaters generally limit the time for pre-roll ads to 5 minutes.Generally speaking, it must be a movie that the brand side is optimistic about - among them, roughly 30% of the advertising profits will be distributed to the theater...

Because pre-screen ads are pre-screening ads, and the broadcasting channels are concentrated in theaters, then if you don’t share part of the revenue with the theaters, why do people broadcast ads?
Pulling back, Guo Fan and the others belong to the crew's...recorder?

However, Shen Xudong often arranges for them to do things - put a prop, notify the person in charge of the project team and so on.

I will also introduce the main actors including the cameo actors and the director to give them three acquaintances...

On this day, Guo Fan was a little sleepy after finishing work, so he packed up his things and walked towards the crew's cart - the car would take him back to the hotel!
After a busy day's work, although the body is not too tired, the spirit is extremely exhausted...

The work of the crew is very cumbersome and intense - 996 is trivial, and 007 is normal. If we can finish work at 10 o'clock in the evening, the filming will be considered smooth!

The same goes for "Rise to Fame"...

I really joined the team, especially the person in charge behind the scenes, who worked 24 hours to prepare for the battle, and did not dare to get sick. On average, he slept up to 3.4 hours a day!
The same is true for Shen Xudong, so when Guo Fan saw Shen Xudong who was already asleep on the chair in the front row of the car, he took it for granted—he sat back in his seat without saying hello.

I fell asleep in a daze. At 11 o'clock in the evening, I arrived at the hotel, said good night to a group of people, and then went back to my room.

I took a shower, wiped it briefly, and checked the time. It was not yet 12 o'clock, so I simply sat in front of the table, took out a pen and notebook, and planned to write some work diaries.

He doesn't write every day, but whenever he has a new view on the film, he always writes it down in time, and what he records is not only the film, but also the experience of the crew.

Mainly Shen Xudong...

After all, Guo Fan is going to be a director, and he plans to steal from Shen Xudong!
Shen Xudong himself felt that he was...weak, not a good director, but in Guo Fan's opinion, Shen Xudong was simply the most professional director he had ever seen.

"It was the first time Director Shen had a different opinion with Jiang Wen. He thought they would argue, but...it didn't. Director Shen directly followed Jiang Wen's request and left the director's seat..."

"I felt that he was very weak... As a result, director Shen came back half an hour later and told Jiang Wen directly, 'Today's shooting task is eight, we don't have time to do experiments for you...' His attitude was very tough... In the end, Jiang Wen flinched... "

"Director Shen pays more attention to the script. He does not allow the actors to change the lyrics on the spot. They can improvise, but the general meaning must match the lines he wrote!"

"However, Director Shen's temper is quite good, I have never seen him lose his temper!"

……

Coincidentally, Jing Tian was also asking Shen Xudong this question - the director's temper!

Xudong was about to go to bed, and Da Tiantian pestered him to impart experience...

Serious experience, not fine swallowing!

Shen Xudong respects the patron very much...

Well, the main reason is that I am too sleepy, and I don't have any strength in my body.

But Jing Tian likes to listen to stories, so tell me!
After making a cup of tea, Shen Xudong said: "Not every director has a bad temper, but in most cases, you can't be soft-hearted. If you are soft-hearted and easy to talk, then you are making yourself guilty. Maybe you can't finish the filming in the end. Disband, you have harmed them instead!"

"During the filming of "Eating and Drinking Man and Woman", Li An became angry because the ingredients were not prepared enough... It affected the progress of the filming, and because of the problem of several tables of dishes, it was delayed by at least one day. , The venue fee is enough to buy several truckloads of vegetables... This is a mistake of the props team!"

"Ning Hao, you have collaborated with him in the MV, and he looks quite simple and honest, right? I remember that during the pre-production of "Stone", Brother Dao and the others lived in that hotel. After the props team painted the walls white, the walls were not completely dry. The effect is not ideal.

Ning Hao confessed that the lighting team brought lights to the grill that night, but the people who arranged for them were too lazy to go because they were afraid of the cold. The next day Ning Hao went to the set to see the state of the wall. "

"On a set where time is money, only tyrant domination is the most efficient mode of operation..."

"Then why don't you scold people?"

"Why am I swearing... Our crew is very professional, the lighting and photography are the most famous in the industry... If they don't do it well... I will just replace them..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong yawned: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Jing Tian hurriedly asked: "Director, do you think there is anything I can't do well?"

"…Why do you ask?"

"I see that you often praise other actors... rarely praise me..."

"Didn't I praise you?" Shen Xudong thought carefully, then shook his head: "I must have praised you..."

"...You only praised me for being good-looking..."

"Your role is to look good!"
