At first, I just wanted to make money

In fact, it is rare for the film market to face the competition head-on.

After all, things like movies are made with money, so why are you fighting to the death?
Therefore, it is very rare for Yu Dong to beat Zhang Weiping to death——"Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" VS "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"...

According to Yu Dong's words afterwards: Have you ever seen "Batman" and "Spiderman" released on the same day?Why can the six major American companies sit down and negotiate schedules, but Chinese films will release two blockbusters, insisting on killing each other, and the whole world will see it as a joke?Two heavyweight blockbusters bloomed on the same day, and there was no winner. They were all bad strategies for fighting for breath.

Therefore, Shen Xudong adopted the strategy of encirclement and suppression.

One front, one back, double-sided attack...

But...the active market period of a film should be about 30 days. Generally speaking, 80% of the box office will be taken in the first two weeks, and 20% in the next two weeks...

High quality, more stamina.

Especially crime themes!
"The Tuner" is one of those movies with a lot of stamina—high quality.

Therefore, Chen Xi was reluctant to use it against "Red Cliff"...

Shen Xudong hesitated for a while, and then said: "The other movies are not enough... Don't worry, even if it's "Red Cliff", "Tuner" will surely exceed [-] million!"

"That's Ning Hao, our number one director..." Chen Xi still shook his head, and then suggested: "I have two approved films that have passed the review, namely "Robot Story" and "Twilight"..."

Shen Xudong was quite surprised: "The Twilight Saga has passed the trial? There are vampires!"

Chen Xi didn't speak, and looked at Gao Fenfen, who smiled and said nothing, hiding his achievements and fame...

Shen Xudong gave her a thumbs up, and then said: "Then... let's go to "Robot Story"..."

"Why not Twilight?"

"Have you seen The Twilight Saga?"

"Look..."

"How do you feel?"

"The picture is grim, the special effects are good, the actors..."

Shen Xudong couldn't listen anymore: "Tell the truth!"

Chen Xi licked his lips, and said honestly: "...It sucks...I think it's like a Mary Su drama...In the early years, Qiong Yao's movies were basically such things..."

"That's right, you feel rotten, then the audience must think the same..."

Chen Xi was curious: "...then why is "Twilight" so popular?"

"Because it has tens of millions of readers... This is a fan-oriented work, and our audience is not its fans, so we can definitely evaluate it objectively..."

Chen Xi nodded: "Okay then, let's use "Robot Story"..."

"Well... you look at the arrangement." Shen Xudong changed the subject: "I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow..."

"what happened?"

Shen Xudong explained: "My former assistant was bullied, I'm going to help her out..."

"Assistant? That Zhang Xi?"

"Yes, she has changed her name to Zhang Zhixi now..."

"You have a connection with her?"

"Of course," Shen Xudong looked at Gao Fenfen: "I've been in love for a long time, even with my former assistant, I still keep in touch!"

Gao Fenfen sneered: "She is doing well!"

"What are you talking about, her and I..." retorted subconsciously, and then realized that this was all my own, there was no need to pretend: "Well, it's really good! It's unforgettable!"

Gao Fenfen spit directly: "Bah, what a shame!"

Chen Xi also said: "That's right, you have completely disappointed me in love!"

Shen Xudong is also a bachelor: "I'm in the entertainment industry, and I believe in love, how do those female stars find a chance to be famous?"

Gao Fenfen waved her hand and returned to the topic: "...what happened to her?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask specifically."

Chen Xi thought for a while, and then asked: "Going to Shanghai...is it because of the casting of "Sword and Sword III"?"

"…you know?"

Chen Xi: "Of course I know, I also know that her role has been changed..."

"Hmm... We agreed to let her play the leading role, but after two days of filming, we suddenly found another one..." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly realized something: ""Sword and Sword III"? It seems that Yang Mi was chosen as the heroine? "

"It's good that you know...Yang Mi's role as the lead actress was suggested by you!"

"...Then... I'm not going?"

"Didn't you promise everyone?"

"Then let me ask specifically."

……

In fact, Tianmei Company has always wanted to acquire Tang Ren, but... Cai Yinong is unwilling to work for others.

Moreover, Tang Ren produces good works every year, has a good relationship with many TV stations, and has a good cash flow reserve...

In recent years, Tang Ren's works have basically been jointly produced with Tianmei, whether it is a movie or a TV series.

But for the "Sword" series, they must do it by themselves.

That's right, Tang Ren is preparing to shoot "Sword and Sword III".

Why not do "Legend of Sword and Sword II"?
The storyline is too bad!

In fact, Paladin II is a semi-finished game. Although the suspense clues in the first half are very good, but because of some management reasons of BJ Soft Star, the game had to end the development and sales early, so you can feel very obvious in the second half of the plot. traces of rush work...

Although there are plot blueprints out there, if you really want to make a TV series, you can do it, but other TV series are aimed at this group of game fans. You will choose to shoot a game with few fans, and the half-finished product with a half-written plot is still a fan Many, what about the finished product of the classic plot?
Anyway, I would choose the latter.

The same goes for Tang Ren, who chose "Sword and Sword III"...

Oh, this time they didn't ask Shen Xudong to be the screenwriter...

Are you kidding me, Shen Xudong is the screenwriter for "Sword and Sword III"?

Do you know Shen Xudong's net worth?

Even if he agreed, Tang Ren couldn't afford the price.

Anyway, Cai Yinong thought so, and then Tianmei Company, to be precise, Chen Xi and Zhong Lifang came to the door and offered a cooperation invitation.

Cai Yinong didn't refuse - because, once they cooperate, Shen Xudong will be the art director of "Sword and Sword III".

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Shen Xudong is not only a gold medal producer, he is also the screenwriter of the first part of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

If he had been the art director of "Sword and Sword III", even if it was just a name, the film would have sold for sky-high prices.

Zhang Xi is Tang Ren's contracted actress, and Cai Yinong is very optimistic about her, so "Sword and Sword III" directly asked her to play the lead actress Tang Xuejian.

The character modeling, posters and so on were all shot, and then several directors found that she could not play Tang Xuejian.

Tang Xue saw that this character was lively and eccentric...

If Zhang Xi can't act, she is not suitable for making big expressions.

Then, Cai Yinong called Shen Xudong, who recommended Yang Mi.

He just didn’t know about Zhang Xi’s affair at all, he only knew that Tang Yan was unlikely to go to the crew of "Sword and Sword III"—nonsense, now she has [-] million box office heroines, the new generation first sister promoted by Tianmei, got it All of them are top-level resources, so if you don’t accept a good work, go play an ancient puppet?

Oh, ancient puppets are underestimated at this stage, they are not considered mainstream resources, they are just soap operas.

Pulling back, Shen Xudong contacted Zhang Xi: "I remember there is Zixuan, you can try it..."

"Then my heroine is gone?"

"...It's gone, it's gone, what can I do, you are really not suitable!"
