At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 734 Visiting class?

The movie market is booming...

This is the consensus!
Any movie, as long as it has a star, can sell more than [-] million at will!
This was something that was never even imagined before.

Therefore, the eight major filmmakers in Taiwan have re-emerged, but they used to buy Hong Kong films to show in Taiwan, but now they use Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to sell in the mainland...

Therefore, after Ruan Jingtian came to the mainland to develop, its management company became Tianliang Entertainment, which he partnered with Niu Chengze and Li Lie.

Li Lie's background is not small.

Luo Dayou's ex-wife, a producer who has long been involved in the Hong Kong film industry.

Ruan Jingtian initially won three leading male dramas in the mainland, "Blood Droplet", "Running Detective" and "Murder Past Time" are all films directed by Hong Kong.

These "false co-productions" are essentially Hong Kong films with mainland capital and actors participating.

There is a rumor circulating in the market that due to the lack of talent in Hong Kong's entertainment industry and the severe generation gap among young actors, Hong Kong directors like to use cost-effective Taiwanese actors, who are low-paid and have quality...

There is a texture of hanging hair!
In fact, Taiwanese producers who work closely with Hong Kong directors are the real driving force behind this wave of Taiwanese niches.

For example, Zhao Youting was able to star in the "Di Renjie" series of films, precisely because Chen Guofu, who has worked with Huayi for many years, strongly recommended it.

Chen Guofu is really based on the theory of origin. Over the years, he has supported many young Taiwanese students. Peng Yuyan was also recommended by him to start contacting Hong Kong director films.

Feng Delun's "Tai Chi" series, and then Lin Chaoxian's four films...

This kind of situation is that mainland companies contribute funds, and Hong Kong and Taiwan behind-the-scenes teams and actors participate in the production...

Especially Zhao Youting, it's like a flying dragon is flying in the sky - the one who is riding a horse, "Ruffian Heroes", Huang Bo will give him a supporting role?
Who knew him before?

Later, Chen Kaige's "Search", then "To Youth", and then "Di Renjie", Nima, they are all male!
With so many resources thrown down, everyone has to take off!

He's fine, but he has to sell his plastic surgery acting skills to get out of the circle.

Why do you want to market plastic surgery acting skills?

It's ugly!

After hearing Liao Gaoxiang say that the film market is booming, Shen Xudong helped him to calculate with his fingers: "So far, there are almost 240 movies released this year, of which no more than 30 have attracted attention, and no more than 20 have made profits... That is to say, more than [-]% of the losses... How did you come to the conclusion that the movie market is booming?"

"But Jackie Chan's films have never suffered a loss. Even if there is a loss, overseas copyright sales can still make a profit!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "...Do you know that the subprime mortgage crisis broke out? And the Internet has affected the disc business..."

"Know…"

"And you know how these things affect the movie?"

"... What's the effect?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Film producers don't dare to take the risk of buying non-English films. Even if they couldn't be released in the past, they could still pay back by selling discs. Now, the disc market around the world is shrinking..."

"But a Jackie Chan movie should..."

""Shinjuku Incident" is not a Jackie Chan movie, the story is very dark!"

"Shinjuku Incident", according to Er Dongsheng, "About 98, I saw a report in "Asia Weekly". At that time, many foreigners came in Kabukicho. There was a Fenglin Hall on the road next to Kabukicho. There were many gangsters gathering, all of them were bosses and businessmen.There was a case in a restaurant opposite it, and a person’s head was almost completely cut off... Afterwards, I started to collect a lot of information about Japanese benzene culture, gangsters, immigrants, etc., and condensed the story that originally spanned many years into a few years...

Let's put it this way, "Shinjuku Incident" is not a Jackie Chan movie!

What is a Jackie Chan movie?
Kung fu comedy?

The fighting is fierce but not violent, the acting is funny but not vulgar?

Including, in fact, it is a family carnival!
"Shinjuku Incident" is different, a very violent and bloody drama...

Liao Gaoxiang frowned: "It's very dark? I heard we were talking about a story about a group of smugglers fighting gangsters in Japan..."

"...Who told you that?"

"Director Huang Jianxin...he is the producer of "Shinjuku Incident"..."

"Ugh!"

Shen Xudong sighed...

Huang Jianxin is a ruthless person. During the filming of "Certificate of Fame", the film bureau came to watch the rough cut and put forward more than a dozen comments. Chen Kexin almost collapsed. After Huang Jianxin found out, he smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter. You shoot yours. When I was filming "Face to Face, Back to Back", I gave more than [-] suggestions for revision. I didn't change any of them. Later, it was released as it is!" '

Therefore, Huang Jianxin probably thinks that "The Shinjuku Incident" will definitely be released in the mainland...

Based on this, it is very normal to persuade Liao Gaoxiang to invest...

Liao Gaoxiang looked at his expression and asked nervously, "You don't like it?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "...Don't you always say that money is a bastard, and good movies are eternal? Don't feel sorry for investors, we must respect art...Congratulations, you spent money, and then witnessed the birth of a high-quality movie!"

"...I'm talking about other people's money!"

"...It's all the same, the audience is the one who benefits."

Liao Gaoxiang did not give up, and then asked: "Are you sure that the "Shinjuku Incident" will lose money?"

"I can't say it well, I think there is a high probability of losing money..."

"Damn..." Liao Gaoxiang was about to curse, when he suddenly pointed to the door of the box: "Someone knocked on the door..."

Shen Xudong got up and said to himself: "Who? Come to me at this time?"

I'm too lazy to break it!

Shen Xudong invited: "...Have you eaten yet? Let's have some..."

"Okay!"

Yang Tianbao came in first, and then saw Liao Gaoxiang who was sitting at the table interrupting, and hurriedly bowed: "I am Yang Tianbao..."

"...Oh, my name is Liao Gaoxiang, Xudong's friend... Do you have something to do, I'll go first!"

Liao Gaoxiang got up tactfully and was about to leave...

Shen Xudong was a little embarrassed: "No, are you full yet?"

"...I'm full already," Liao Gaoxiang flashed to the door, remembered something, and specially told him: "Take it easy..."

"I...they are both from Hong Kong, old acquaintances..."

……

Don't explain, I came all the way to visit the class...

What is this called?
Airborne service!

Cough cough, of course, Shen Xudong is very firm, if you say abstinence, you must abstain!

Making a movie is a very energy-consuming job, and you must stay focused at all times. Moreover, the director must deal with the actors, mobilize the enthusiasm of the actors, calm down their bad emotions, and stimulate their enthusiasm for performance.

Actors are not machines, after all, and asking them to perform well no matter what the situation is is often counterproductive.

If the director loses his spirits on set, then... the entire crew is doomed!

Therefore, Shen Xudong must stick to the bottom line...

At least, at the beginning, he was very firm...
