At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 762 Why Are You So Concerned About Relationship Issues?
The first half of the interview is mainly to explain where Shen Xudong has been and what he has done in the past three years...

"Mainly to study..."

"study?"

"I mainly study the process of the film industry. They split the film production, broke it apart, smashed it and told you how to make this part and how to make that part. Every link will be introduced to me in detail... Then, you can intuitively see the gap, it turns out that we can’t do it here, and we can’t do it there...”

"Is there a big gap?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "It's really quite big, but it's not a whole! For example, the special effects team we use now, in fact, the industrialization is very strong, and it's basically very close to the second-tier level of Hollywood today..."

"Are our special effects so strong?"

"More than 800 special effects shots of "The Grandmaster", 1300 special effects shots of "Yunnan Bug Valley", 1100 special effects shots of "A Chinese Ghost Story"...and we used the world's top biological special effects..."A Chinese Ghost Story" National Day file is online , everyone can look forward to it!"

"The second is the photography team, because the machines used by our photography team are basically synchronized with the world. By synchronizing its application, our process will be forced to match it.

The second is the art team. The art team used a lot of new production technology this time, which greatly improved our efficiency. "

"When will you make a sci-fi film?"

"We have already started the preliminary work of "Earth Fire" and "Earth Cannon". No surprises, three years later, it should be released!"

"After these two films, the filming of "The Wandering Earth" will start. My goal is to start filming "The Three-Body Problem" around 2025!"

"Already have a complete plan?"

"Of course..." Shen Xudong asked back: "You don't think I went to America just to pick up girls?"

Speaking of this, the host Dou Wentao got excited: "I, who doesn't surf the Internet very much, know that you dated different actresses in the United States... Is it true?"

"I've never been in a relationship..." Shen Xudong shook his head, and then said with a serious face, "The main purpose of my dating with them is to learn foreign languages!"

"...Your English is very good!"

"There is no end to learning! French, German, English with British pronunciation... all have to be learned..."

Dou Wentao raised his eyebrows: "So, you have relationships with actresses from France, Germany, and England?"

"Who do you think I am? I really went to learn..." Shen Xudong first scolded Dou Wentao angrily, and then nodded: "Everyone communicates..."

"Really?"

"Then what is true and false..."

"You are too awesome!"

Shen Xudong shook his head, very self-aware: "No...you have to understand that I am the producer and can decide their final fate..."

Dou Wentao also chatted: "I heard there are red sofas in Hollywood?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "That's a bad habit of the last century. Generally, super-A masterpieces are cast round after round. With unspoken rules, you can play the heroine of a $[-] million production. No one can do it! "

"then you?"

“Oh, I do all independent productions, small and medium budgets, and my biggest investment in three years was $5000 million in Despicable Me...but it was an animated film!”

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong said with lingering fear: "The independent production circle in North America is very chaotic. When casting a cast, you must not stare at the breasts of the actress who came to interview... Otherwise, when you return to the hotel, she has already packed herself into Here's a gift for you!"

Dou Wentao was surprised: "Have you met?"

"Hmm... When I was auditioning for "Unknown Female Corpse", I took a few extra glances at a Brazilian female model who came to audition. Then, when I went back to the hotel to rest at night, someone knocked on the door and received a big box. She's still wearing a bikini..."

"hotel?"

"Yes, I have been staying in hotels in the United States...I always feel like a passer-by, so I didn't buy a house!"

"You don't have immigrants?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Why should I immigrate? I'm a film maker. I must make it in a cultural environment I'm familiar with. I don't know America!"

By the way, I added: "In addition, I am not used to the American diet. It looks very appetizing, but it has no taste. It is the kind of taste that makes you happy just eating steamed buns."

Dou Wentao returned to the topic: "Then when you received such a gift, were you excited?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I'm so excited, I'm so scared to death... They can send someone to me, so can they send me a bullet or a gun next time?"

"Then, how did you do it?"

"Hurry up and change to a higher-end hotel, and hired four bodyguards the next day!"

"...You didn't use her?"

"She was too tall, almost 1 meters, and her eyes were brown. I wanted a blue-eyed one, who looked like a medieval witch... Later, we chose Ophelia Lovibond, Although the box office of "Unknown Female Corpse" is only about 8 million US dollars, the offline DVD sales are very high, and the TV rights have also sold a lot..."

……

The two chatted about Hollywood for more than half an hour, which was basically Shen Xudong's real experience.

A play involves huge funds and many relationships, and it depends on who has the final say.

A lot of people think that a director can be regarded as a superstar if he sleeps, but it is not true. Most of the time, a director is just a wage earner and has no right to speak!

For example, in "You Who Disappeared", the two directors are only nominal.

How to distinguish?

When watching the movie itself, remember one sentence: film and television works of art need directors, and media products only need supervisors.

Pulling back, Shen Xudong said a lot of things, for example, 'In the Highland Center, where the Oscars are held, there is a "big bed" made of cement.At the foot of the big bed, there is a line of words: The road to Hollywood-how some of us got here. (The road to Hollywood-how some of us got here.'

'Of course, unspoken rules are not limited to bed affairs, there are many more... Let me tell you a story about a Chinese actress. She went abroad to study in Philadelphia. Not long after, she quit her studies and joined the American film and television industry.

As soon as she arrived in the United States, she paid close attention to the reports on film and television news.

Once she saw an advertisement in a certain newspaper: American Hollywood Film and Television Center needed an actress to act in the bed scene, and she needed to have certain acting skills, and the remuneration was 5000 US dollars.

Then, she rushed to Hollywood and found that there was already a small queue there. She was eager to be on camera and afraid of being robbed of the fat by others, so she rushed to the front of the queue and shouted in English: "I Only $4000."

"And she succeeded?"

"It's definitely a success, it's 20% cheaper...and she's an actress, she has acting skills!"

"and after?"

"Go back to China!" Shen Xudong sneered: "There is no shortage of porn stars in Hollywood... After returning to China to develop, look like an artist..."

"you are right?"

"You didn't guess it?"

"...It's Chen Chong!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, that's her."

Dou Wentao couldn't continue the chat, and the topic returned to "The Grandmaster": "Have you ever thought that you can win the Golden Lion Award?"
