At first, I just wanted to make money

Jiang Wen is really a scam!

The key point is that he still has a lot of admirers and fallacies, leaving behind a bunch of classic remarks, such as 'An actor who doesn't want to be a director is not a good actor', 'If you make money, it's not a joke. If you don't have money, it's a joke.I don't think money can buy future, talent, or wisdom. '...

By the way, there is also 'What I provide the audience is definitely not plain water, I want to make wine, and then get drunk with everyone in the theater. '...

Shen Xudong knew that this product was a scam before, but after getting in touch with it, he realized that it was really a scam!

That's right, "The Robber's Tale" has been sent to him. It stands to reason that Jiang Wen should devote himself to the creation of "Let the Bullets Fly", but he has too many wonderful ideas!

He wants to do "The Wind" TV series...

And the script is being written!

Really him? Speechless, can't you just fiddle with "Let the Bullets Fly"?

It has been circulated in the world for a long time. There are two most entertaining investors in China who deserve the award. They are Jiang Wen's "Mercedes-Benz into Xiali" and Wang Jiawei's "Days of Being Wild" that "lost investors to the hospital"...

In fact, it is a false rumor that the Mercedes-Benz transformation into Xiali is not the work of Jiang Wen as the director, it is "Qin Song", Jiang Wen only starred, the director is Zhou Xiaowen, Zhang Jizhong's version of "Dragon Babu", he is the chief director!
By the way, "Ode to Qin" premiered in Shenzhen that year. After the release, there was no attendance for a few days...

Because it sucks.

Later, in order to make money, the film producer cut out a scene of breastfeeding a child in less than 30 seconds and made it into the cover of the DVD to sell it for money.

Uh, that's it.

Pulling it back, Shen Xudong felt that Jiang Wen couldn't let Jiang Wen go on.

directly intervened...

Specifically, it took back the right to adapt the TV series "The Wind".

Without the copyright, Jiang Wen prepared "Let the Bullets Fly"...

In fact, purely from an investment point of view, investing in Jiang Wen's movies is definitely not worthwhile!

Serious people who invest in movies are waiting to lose money, aren't they?Despicable!
However, "Let the Bullets Fly" was an accident!
This movie has reached its peak, both in word of mouth and in business!

Someone asked Jiang Wen if he would never be able to make a movie like "Let the Bullets Fly" again?

In fact, it doesn't matter, the so-called good sentences are born naturally, and you can get them by chance
This is especially true for movies. A good movie requires a group of important creators, the collision of wisdom, and the joint efforts of painstaking efforts.

In many cases, the hard work you expend may not be able to impress the audience, and it is difficult to make the audience empathize.

Therefore, Shen Xudong only plans to invest in "Let the Bullets Fly", and doesn't even interfere with the casting - he really can't think of an actor who can replace Zhou Runfa (Huang Silang)!

However, Deng Chao as a director...

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and encouraged him: "Come on!"

……

Shen Xudong has always been quite optimistic about Deng Chao!
So, I don't understand his backwardness...

Oh, in my memory, among the six Mesozoic Era, Huang Bo and Deng Chao fell behind successively...

Huang Bo fell behind because his acting skills became greasy, his professional ability deteriorated seriously, and his popularity with the audience dropped sharply. Deng Chao... I guess it was pure backlash and laziness.

From 19 to 23, for a full 4 years, I only directed and acted in one film ("Ping Pong: The Jedi Counterattack"), one film unit ("Hometown/Road to Homecoming"), and then there was nothing...

Deng Chaoping starred in "The Scorching Sun" at the age of 36, won the Golden Goblet Best Actor at the age of 37, and the Golden Rooster Best Actor at the age of 38, and as the first leading actor in the film in the past few years, he won the box office of more than 90 billion yuan, which was once far ahead in the Chinese film industry.

Then, from the age of 39 to 43, the four-year golden age of acting was directly wasted in the variety shows "Running Man" and "Five Ha".

In the past four years, the competition for first-line male actors has been fierce. Wu Jing has occupied the first half of film history, Shen Teng has become the king of comedy in the mainland, Zhang Yi has risen strongly, Yu Hewei has continued to produce masterpieces, Zhu Yilong, Lei Jiayin, Xiao Yang, and Dapeng.

To make matters worse, in 2018's "Galaxy Tutorial", co-directed by Yu Baimei, Deng Chao was able to earn nearly 9 million box office alone.

And "Ping Pong: Jedi Counterattack" in 2023, obviously has a good reputation for quality, and the box office is barely over [-] million!
It's a normal thing, you also earn money from variety shows, and the box office of the movie is high, and it's overexposed, and you want to play different roles, how can there be such a good thing in this world?
As for Deng Chao's director level.

Personal evaluation: not as good as Guo Jingming!

No kidding, really, in terms of personal aesthetics, there is a lot of difference!

Deng Chao's several plays ruined his daughter-in-law and himself who were otherwise good actors, while Guo Jingming used the actors who had almost no acting skills properly, performed their duties, were handsome as hell, and acted to death...

Just imagine, who else can you find to play the role in the childhood?
And... he is very brave to use a lot of newcomers who are completely unknown, and his appearance and temperament match the characters!

"Little Times" has really made a large number of newcomers popular, achieving a win-win situation.

It seems that he has a high level of casting...

There is no one left!

In terms of casting, Guo Jingming is really good.

As for personal aesthetics...

Guo Caijie in "Little Times" took a wide-angle upward shot in a certain plot, with a fluttering long skirt, several figures taller than Deng Chao's picture, composition, and color!

As for Deng Chao, he is also quite awesome!

Although the audience has no impression of his scenes after watching them, but the idiot plot, idiot story, idiot plot, after watching it, it is like eating shit, it is hard to forget, lingering and breathless...

Therefore, Shen Xudong sincerely suggested: "Brother Chao, if you want to be a director, you must not make comedies... Whatever type of script you want, you can ask me, and I will help form a screenwriting team!"

……

After chatting with Deng Chao, Wen Yongshan came over, and Shen Xudong smiled and asked, "How is it?"

"It's almost the same...Director, do all mainland movie shoots go through this once?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, I'm just faster..."

Wen Yongshan pouted and asked deliberately: "Director...are you fast?"

After looking at her expression, Shen Xudong suddenly thought of a phrase, "There are people who are good at ventriloquism in the southern country, from now on the king will not go to court early"...

Swallowed, lowered his voice, and retorted: "I'm going fast, don't you know?"

"...Do you want to try again?"

Shen Xudong shook his head with difficulty: "Forget it, I'm busy..."

Shen Xudong didn't want to destroy the newly established Flag just because of his greed!
Wen Yongshan was very witty: "Then I'll go first...Director, if you have any ideas, feel free to send me a text message."

"...Don't rush back to Hong Kong, go find Chen Xi and ask her to arrange some TV dramas for you..."

"TV drama?"

"Well," Shen Xudong nodded: "In the mainland, the best way to quickly swipe your face is to appear in a TV series... You stay in Hong Kong, there is no good development."

"...What about Fu Ying and the others?"

"Fu Ying and Stephy Tang have their own management team to help them plan their careers, how about you?"

"I see…"

Wen Yongshan nodded.

"Okay... you go first..."

Shen Xudong watched her leave, regained his senses, and then saw Liao Gaoxiang staring at him, startled: "When did you come?"

"Just now..." Liao Gaoxiang pouted in the direction Wen Yongshan left: "Who is that girl?"

"The actress Zhong Lifang signed, newcomer, development in Hong Kong..."

"...You have a good relationship with her?"

"...It's not bad, there was an intersection..." Shen Xudong changed the subject: "What do you want to do in my crew?"
