At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 766 Premiere
There are many reports about the dispute over the first sister in Tianmei’s brokerage department...

Just like Huayi's internal competition for the first sister.

And now that the self-media is rampant, entertainment gossip and various rumors attract traffic, and there are more reports!
Of course Shen Xudong also knew...

Last year, Chen Xi talked to him about the dispute over the top of the brokerage department.

She said it seriously - for example 'mountain culture ruined TVB'...

To be honest, Shen Xudong didn't take it seriously...

mountain?

First hair!
He was sure that this group of top-ranking people would definitely establish themselves!
It’s been a long time, the top streamers have their own fans and traffic, they can completely transform into producers and producers, even if they act in a bad movie, there will be a TV station paying for it...

When the top streamers realize their value, how can they be willing to let the brokerage company take a cut?
"It doesn't matter if you are an A-list star or not, if the contract expires, don't renew it... It's time to leave, let's leave!"

Shen Xudong replied like this...

It's like Chen Hao, who set up his own studio, one movie and one TV series a year, free and earn a lot.

With the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series in hand, Chen Hao has no shortage of acting appointments. Once "The Hunger Games" is released, she will be another Chinese female star who 'breaks' into Hollywood after Zhang Ziyi...

Chen Xi...was reluctant at first—last year, Tang Yan and Zhao Liying's commissions combined exceeded 6000 million!
Moreover, it can be seen that the artist brokerage business is also an important profit segment for film and television companies. In many companies, the gross profit margin of artist brokerage is around 50%!

Just let go?

"You can choose to invest in the studio or set up a joint venture company. At that time, the artist's project will be invested through the joint venture company... Bring them to share the accounts together!"

Chen Xi thought it made sense, and then ignored it...

Now it seems that it is really serious!
We must know that no matter how ruthless Lianhua and Bingbing fought back then, they would greet each other when they met-the superficial etiquette work still had to be done properly.

Zhao Liying and Tang Yan are on good terms, they don't even bother to do superficial work!

Of course Shen Xudong also noticed it, and was a little shocked...

But he didn't have time to think too much, a group of people lined up to congratulate him...

He, too, can only suspend thoughts.

……

The play of "The Grandmaster" is really wonderful!
Especially the rainy night play at the beginning!

In the past, Hong Kong martial arts movies often used some powder on the characters, and when the fist was released, the powder would fly to highlight the strength. "The Grandmaster" reflected a similar effect through the dynamic scenes of water splashing...

It was originally Wang Jiawei's innovation, but now it is Shen Xudong's.

"Kungfu is two characters, one horizontal and one vertical, the right one stands, the wrong one falls down!"

Accompanied by a plausible line, Chen Shi played by Donnie Yen broke through a street...

Then head north to spread Wing Chun!

Shen Xudong's version of "The Great Master" is not a martial arts film. Although it is well-played, it is a realistic martial arts film in the Republic of China...

The martial arts organizations at that time were divided into two major systems: the official system and the folk system. The official system was represented by the central and local martial arts centers initiated by Zhang Zhijiang. The "Wushu Association" is relatively well-known, each according to the north and south, and gave birth to the fire of the prosperity of the Wushu sect.

Tianjin is very close to the bloody Baoding and Cangzhou, and the origin of martial arts has become the stage of "The Great Master".

As a major shipping port, Tianjin is famous for smuggling guns and medicines, so the Shandong Warlords intervened in Tianjin.

Martial arts are attached to the military circles, and the military circles are calculating their interests. Liang Qichao's so-called "China's Bushido" is a dead letter hanging in the temple.

Throughout the movie, everyone is restrained, as if a thread is entwined with each other, and one thread can move the whole body, and no one can easily cross the thunder pool.

Everyone was sinking and struggling in helplessness, the master was scheming against the apprentice, and the apprentice also questioned the master, looking aggrieved.

In fact, for a long time, the real civilian warrior class was hard to see.

The whole story is very simple. Chen Shi went to the north to start a business and entered a highly mature industry. If he wanted to quickly establish a school and occupy market share, he had to grab the incumbents and gain industry recognition and peer evaluation as soon as possible. Use your ability to kick the pavilion.

However, according to the local rules in Tianjin, if you don’t kick the pavilion to the end, it will disrupt the entire industry ecology. You can’t kick more than eight pavilions. After hitting the eighth, the industry’s top players will come out and defeat the kickers, and this person will quit Tianjin forever. Martial arts industry, but his master can stay and open a school to teach apprentices.

This weird rule forced Chen Shi to conspire with the local martial arts represented by Lao Zheng: In order to stay, he taught an apprentice who could kick the eight schools of martial arts. The apprentice would eventually be defeated by Lao Zheng, so Chen Shi stayed. .

This plan is inevitably cold-blooded...

But Chen Shi was absolutely purposeful from the very beginning, so he took in an apprentice with a bad character—I think that because when he was taking in an apprentice, the apprentice was lustful and secretly looked at the teacher's wife in various ways...

A year later, the apprentice started kicking the hall, and things were proceeding according to the rules and plan, and Lao Zheng also tortured and killed the apprentice...

But in the end, Chen Shi won the recognition of Tianjin Martial Arts and military circles.

During the celebration, he struggled for a long time, but he couldn't help but seek justice for his apprentice.

When righteousness overwhelms profit, the rivers and lakes of the last days finally reveal their bright colors.

In the last street fight, Yen Zidan staged it again from morning to night, and took a break in the middle to eat a bowl of noodles...

The fighting scene lasted for 8 minutes, which is both aesthetic and practical.

Shen Xudong is not Xu Haofeng, I don't understand why some people think Xu Haofeng's fighting scenes are good...

Martial arts action movies have been developed for so many years, from the Kung Fu movies of Shaw Brothers, to Jackie Chan's action design that makes full use of props and environmental space, to Tsui Hark and Huang Feihong's chic and freehand master demeanor, and finally to the modern action that incorporates modern fighting There are routine kung fu movies like Ip Man in the middle, how did Xu Haofeng develop into a freak who is neither aesthetically pleasing nor practical, nor realistic and freehand?

Many people have analyzed that Xu Haofeng understands that fighting is one move at a time, and I can absolutely restrain my strength with my skills...

But the real situation: if you drop ten times with one force, you will kill everyone through the protective gear, and you will be dented in the helmet!

……

At the end of the film, Shen Xudong was interviewed by the media: "In fact, I am not yearning for the martial arts of the Republic of China, but I know that the martial arts of the Republic of China is a social class, with its rules and its mode of operation. But after the warlord regime began, the social structure changed, These rules will be deformed, and at this time, human nature will come out."

"It's an honorable failure, the one who opened the martial arts gym fought, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, so he ran away.

The top management of the three teachings and nine classes, well-dressed, is actually a pussy who can't afford to lose.Morality is flying all over the mouth, and no one will let go of the benefits in hand! "

"This is what I wanted to express when I made "The Grandmaster"!"

"In addition, "The Grandmaster" is actually a film whose form outweighs its content, so the story selection is very simple, almost the kind where you can know the end after reading the beginning..."

This is based on the failure experience of Xu Haofeng's version of "The Master"-the more formal the movie, the more it needs a simple and clear story.

For example, "Rashomon" and "Seven Samurai", and "Gunfire" and "Swordsman in Double Flag Town", these are all classic structures that can be explained clearly in one sentence.

The original version of "Master" is too complicated, and the opening chapter took more than ten minutes to teach whether it is true or not. What does this have to do with the main story?
In particular, letting Lao Zheng's apprentice Huang Jue appear on the stage directly disrupted the narrative-if the role of Huang Jue was set up to improve the pattern and enhance the background of the times, it is not impossible, but it cannot be inserted halfway to destroy the structure. Can show up at the end to clean up the mess.
