At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 596 Rejection
Shen Xudong likes Li Ming very much, mainly because of Li Ming's personality—Li Ming's character is more beautiful than his appearance!
In 92, Li Ming came to BJ to hold four concerts in Gongti, and because it was too popular, fans did a lot of extreme things, which was criticized by the media at that time.

Cai Ming had a skit criticizing groupies about Li Ming.

That's why "Mei Lanfang" cast Li Ming as the leading actor. In Director Chen's concept, Li Ming is the most popular!

However, he donated all the 1200 million income from the concert...

In addition, Li Ming was an international goodwill ambassador for UNICEF in 94. From 93 to 95, he helped the foundation raise 350 million US dollars to purchase polio vaccines (just the kind of jelly beans) for 8000 million children in China. Nice world record, becoming the first ordinary citizen issued a consular passport by the United Nations...

Of course, these media seldom report, because he does not have a public relations team, what he reports is all lace news and "why is he selected as the Four Heavenly Kings"...

In other words, Li Ming is obviously more suitable than Gu Tianlei if the charitable character design is hyped!
After all, there are quite a lot of children who have eaten jelly beans.

Shen Xudong has always felt that he is suitable to play the role of a gentle scum, a behind-the-scenes boss...

As for Li Ming's acting skills...

In the early films, they were all straight-on shots of Da Pingguang, with no shadows on his face at all, and he could tell that his acting skills were just hell!

The light and shadow in "Infernal Affairs 3" are relatively moderate, because the role he plays requires the audience to be unclear about the situation, and combined with the camera, light, and editing, it gives people a kind of unpredictable depth and strange smile, which looks very similar to A double undercover.

"Three Watches" and "Sweet Honey" are also okay...

In "Sweet Honey", he was really blown away by Zhang Manyu...especially in the last scene, when the two meet and look at each other standing on the street, Zhang Manyu's eyes are very complicated, like a thousand words, which is very different from the feeling at the beginning of the movie It's the same; on the other hand, Li Ming is... still dull!
Chen Kexin, the director of "Sweet Honey", thinks Li Ming's performance is very good. He thinks that the role of Da Jun, even if he moves from the mainland to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong to New York, the essence will not change. , and later asked him to shoot "Three Watches"...

In the past, Shen Xudong felt that acting skills were only for actors. After doing a few plays, he also had his own understanding of acting skills. Lighting, stage design, photography, makeup, and post-editing are all part of an actor's performance of acting skills.

A face with clear levels of light and shade, and every detail is clearly visible, ordinary people can also perform acting skills.

Oh, Li Ming has already cooperated with Golden Harvest—"The Evil Man" will be released in Hong Kong in December, starring Sammo Hung, Li Ming and Wu Jing—Li Ming will play the criminal policeman of the serious crime team.

Wrinkle Zhaolong filmed "Crime City"...

……

Shen Xudong presented the award together with Feng Xiaogang. When they met, Director Feng first congratulated "Big Movie" on its box office performance: "Looking at it this way, the box office of "Big Movie" can't beat 1.5 million!"

"...It depends on the performance of the market in the later stage. After all, school is about to start, and the number of moviegoers is declining...I estimate that it is about 1.2 to 1.4 million..."

"That's not bad, the cost is only 3000 million, isn't it?"

"Um…"

The production cost of "Blockbuster" was 2800 million. Chen Daoming didn't receive the film salary, which was directly converted into investment. Uncle Ge's film salary was 800 million, and the advertising placement and pre-roll advertising revenue was 3200 million...

The promotional funds in the later period were 2000 million—an additional 500 million was added later. Of course, with the popularity of the movie, the publicity funds have been fully covered by business promotion.

Uncle Ge and Daoming Chen are the love of a bunch of brands...

Uh, Tianmei Company only accounted for 60% of the investment in "Big Movie", the remaining 30% was reserved for Shijiu Culture, and the remaining 10% was reserved for Zhang Guoli's Taihe people...

They are all our own people!

"You guys are incredible, "Zhao Zilong", "Life Events", "Girls", and "Blockbuster" have all exceeded [-] million..."

"It's mostly luck."

"Don't be humble with me. You can still say you are lucky once or twice. You have made several movies, and you still say you are lucky?"

Shen Xudong chuckled: "Then I can't say I have the ability, how can I do it?"

"Why can't you say that this is not the truth?"

"...I'm a junior..."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head: "Those who are capable should be rampant... By the way, what do you think of the "Lawsuit" I recommended to you?"

"I think it's good...just a little fake..."

"Are you interested in doing it together?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I dare not..."

"Don't dare? Why?"

"I think no matter how much you shoot the theme of the War of Liberation, you can't shoot the "Armageddon" series... Let's forget it!"

Hearing what Shen Xudong said, Feng Xiaogang sighed: "...Of course I know I can't make "Armageddon"...but this story is really good..."

Shen Xudong persuaded: "There are so many good stories... Moreover, looking through our military history, I really haven't found a case of defrauding troops to attack. The troops that fight sniper are usually fist troops, the main force, and heroes! "

Hearing this, Feng Xiaogang said: "...then I'll find someone else, I think the filming of this kind of wronged hero should infect the audience..."

Shen Xudong reminded him: "It's best to ask the superiors for war movies..."

……

"Lawsuit" is "Assembly Number"...the plot of "Assembly Number" is similar...

The prototype is a story in "Oriental Time and Space", called "For That Bugle".

Writer Yang Jinyuan adapted it into a novel called "Lawsuit" after watching that episode.

Later, Feng Xiaogang bought out the copyright and adapted it into the movie "Assembly".

The original "Lawsuit" is very nonsense. He deleted the part of giving the order. The prototype character Chang Menglan said: "The arrangement at that time was two conditions for retreat: "Persist until dark" and "Blow a trombone to retreat." …

They held on for several hours, repelling numerous enemy attacks.

Ordinarily, it was allowed to retreat after dark, so why didn't Chang Menglan give the order to retreat?

He was worried that if he retreated, it would affect other comrades in the 8th company who participated in the blocking, so he blocked for a long time.

It is not at all what "the head of the group deliberately deceived" or "didn't blow the horn" as mentioned in "The Lawsuit" at all. After all, it has long been said that it is enough to stick to it until dark, and it is not important whether to blow the trumpet or not.

In such chaos on the battlefield, it is possible to forget to arrange the blowing of the trumpet, not to hear the trumpet, or even sacrifice the trumpeter...

You see, the entire prototype story is actually a sacrifice made by our soldiers out of a sense of responsibility and fearless courage. In "The Lawsuit", it becomes betrayed, abandoned, and has no status...

Therefore, these writers just do not believe that there will be real idealists in the world because of their dirty hearts.

Based on my own state of mind, YY presents the "true situation" of the war years, and then develops and criticizes it.

When it came to "Assembly", it was even more outrageous. The biggest problem was to use American-style war movie programs to shoot Chinese war movies, and it was a war of liberation!

The problem is that since the Vietnam War, the United States has fought many unjust wars, and the cannon fodder at the bottom has died one after another for the benefit of the upper class, and only then began to oppose the war. Are you playing this game in the liberation war?

Are you sick?

In addition, from a movie point of view, "Assembly" is very good-looking, and its routines are completely based on "Into the Deadly Island": betrayal, betrayal, unfair treatment, and the only remaining leader who has done his best for his subordinates for decades...

It completely followed the routine of the commercial film - replaced General Hammer with Guzidi, and turned the terrorist attack into a man running around alone.

Let Shen Xudong invest in such a movie, he will definitely not do it.

Well, it's time to part ways...
