At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 712 News Report
Shen Xudong has never targeted any director, the premise is that the other party does not seek trouble.

In fact, purely from a personal point of view, Shen Xudong respects Director Wu Yusen a lot!
A successful young man, he was once favored by Zhang Che, a master of martial arts, and became Zhang Che's assistant director at a young age, and gained a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry with films such as "The Emperor's Flower" and "Fat Qian Han";

After that, he drove high and low, and was once sent to Taiwan by New Art City.

Fortunately, with the strong support of my friend Xu Ke and others, "The True Colors of a Hero", which shocked the world, was shot.

He has developed a unique style of violent aesthetics and enjoys a high reputation around the world. He is one of the most successful and important Hong Kong master commercial directors.

The most common theme in Wu Yusen's films is morality.

He is good at shaping heroes, and most of the content of the film is a story of heroes who share sympathy with each other to eradicate evil forces and uphold justice.

This process is often accompanied by the sacrifice of heroes, so most of Wu Yusen's films are full of tragic colors.

At that time, on the eve of the decline of Hong Kong movies, there was a wave of leaving Hong Kong to go to the United States. Even master directors such as Xu Ke and Lin Lingdong failed to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Works such as "Mission: Impossible 2" have achieved real success.

But this characteristic also limits him. It feels like every scene he shoots is a male protagonist wearing a windbreaker, and using two sand eagles that can never run out of bullets to go out to a group of underworld.

His movies, with no more than 30 characters, can definitely give you a hearty and violent aesthetic.

"Red Cliff"... There are too many characters, he doesn't have this ability!
What I can't figure out is that a movie like "Manhunt" with an original book can be messed up by him...

The saddest situation, judging from the assassination and dancing at the beginning of the movie "Manhunt", he is already very serious about filming!
It's just that no matter how hard he tries, he will reach this level...

Tried my best, but it still doesn't look good!
His time is long gone.

What Shi Nansheng thought of: "You said before that film history, blind reform will be engraved on the pillar of shame?"

"It will definitely be...Even if there is no written record, every audience has a steelyard in their hearts..."

"Then do you think "Red Cliff" will be Wu Yusen's end?"

"...No, I heard that Galloping Horse has a good relationship with him, and they seem to be discussing about making a new movie!"

"new movie?"

"Well, I heard that they bought the film adaptation rights of "Jian Yu Jiang Hu" from Xingmei." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong was suddenly happy: "They invited me to be a script consultant, and they said that Wu Yusen would be the producer. Filmmaker."

"What, invite you to cooperate with Wu Yusen, he... what do they think?"

"It's probably a gimmick..."

Shi Nansheng nodded: "Jianyu Jianghu, I have read it, it's a martial arts novel with a taste of ancient dragons, have you ever thought about adapting it to a movie?"

"Of course I did, but at the time there was no money, and Xingmei wanted to make a film, so I sold the film adaptation rights directly."

"Sold to Qin Hong?"

"That's right, it was good to create "Jianyu Jianghu" after "The Certificate of Voting", but "The Certificate of Voting" did not recover the cost, and Qin Hong has no money."

"They didn't find you?"

"I found it," Shen Xudong nodded first, then shook his head: "I was busy with the Three Kingdoms series at the time, and I didn't have the heart to worry about other things..."

Shi Nansheng probably understood...

The two were chatting when Shen Xudong's phone vibrated. He quickly took it out, looked at the content, and couldn't help but smile: "The box office of "The Ancient City of Essence" was 265 million yesterday, and the cumulative box office is 3.592 million... just over "Titanic"…"

"Refresh the record?"

Shi Nansheng was a little shocked, and then hurried to find Xu Ke and a few actors, ready to watch the news together...

……

No one can deny its influence in China.

"Don't underestimate the movie. On a larger scale, movies are an important part of a country's culture, and an important aspect of building a country's cultural imagination. Qualified to be on the news!"

"But I heard that "The Ancient City of Essence" was criticized by many people..."

"There is no need for a commercial film of the entertainment type to be so over the top..."

While talking, the host on the TV said: "I just received the news that the Chinese movie "The Ancient City" was released for 22 days, and the global box office broke 8000 million US dollars, and the domestic box office was 3.6 million, surpassing the Shen Feng of "Titanic". Ten years of records, arousing great attention...

This morning, the "Exquisite Ancient City" seminar, sponsored by the Ministry of Zhongxuan and the State Press and Publication Bureau and undertaken by the China Film Archive, was held in Beijing..."

Then a bunch of leaders appeared in the camera, and finally Gao Fenfen concluded: ""The Ancient City of Jingjue" is a Chinese-style adventure story. There are so many adventure films, adventure novels, and movies abroad, and our boss The ancestors left so many treasures, there must be many wonderful stories that cannot be imagined, so we filmed..."

"We have a long history, rich traditions, splendid culture, and story resources contained in history, tradition, and culture, which can be said to be inexhaustible...We always believe that Chinese audiences must They support Chinese films!"

The expression was very serious, but Shen Xudong couldn't help but want to laugh...

I don't know who prepared the speech for her, it's so cool!

Shi Nansheng was watching, and then everything happened in this scene. The host began to report on the situation of the Olympic Games. She froze for a moment: "... gone?"

"Hmm... that's pretty good already, I gave you 1 minute!"

Deng Chao, who had been silent beside him, said, "It's 1 minute and 20 seconds, the time I counted..."

Oh, Deng Chao played Shao Jianbo in "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart"...
