At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 774 Invitation...

This sentence is to remind Feng Xiaogang...

Back then, he rashly joined the debate between Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen, stood up for Shu Qi to piss off netizens, and then won the title of Hushu Baoya!

Why do you think he has to go through this muddy water?

However, what Shen Xudong said is quite right. Creators, especially creators of commercial films, must catch hot spots and keep up with the times...

Chen Si's achievements are very good, she just wants to make money!

I guess I never thought about the Oscars or the Cannes Film Festival, even mainstream domestic film festivals...

Just want to make money!

Even, he doesn't like foreign audiences at all, he only has mainland audiences in his eyes.

That's fine!

Therefore, his films are at least smooth in terms of the story, the logic is round, and the actors do not play.

"BJ Love Story" can be seen, the love story of three men and four women in BJ, the story is easy to understand.It integrates the rich second generation, the poor North Drifter, money worship, idealism, etc., and also adds plots such as brothers robbing brothers' wives, brothers sleeping with women who love brothers, etc.

Why did "Mozart from Outer Space" fail so badly at the box office?
Because the track was chosen wrong-in terms of subject matter, children's fantasy + music dream is a very popular movie genre in the West. In the mainland, there is actually no box office prospect!
Especially the music dream genre, the box office of the world's best-selling "Mamma Mia" and "Annie in New York" is only a few million, and even "La La Land" has a box office of less than 3 million...

In addition, the leading actor was chosen wrong, and the age was wrong, so it was very embarrassing to watch...

The most important thing: Chen Sicheng should not have a childlike innocence!

He is not Spielberg. If he does not have a childlike innocence, he still wants to make this kind of movie. The market will teach him to be a man.

Pulling back, Shen Xudong continued: "Actually, at your age, you can make some movies you like, regardless of the market..."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head: "No way, I still have a Taihe citizen here!"

Oh...he still has a company to support!

Cao Huayi interrupted suddenly: "Xudong, have you heard that Guo Jingming is going to make a movie?"

"…heard…"

Oh, the Forbidden City Films was the producer of the first part of "Little Times". That's right, the producer of Feng Xiaogang's "Party A and Party B"...

Therefore, the Beijing circle will keep silent about "Little Times"...

Even though Gao Qunshu was swearing wildly, most of the celebrities in the Beijing circle did not come out to speak out - this is not in the Beijing circle!

Take a look, the planner of "Little Times" is Xu Jianhai, the general manager of Forbidden City Film and Television!
Also a relative of Gao Fenfen...

Well, it's her uncle!
So, of course Shen Xudong knew about "Little Times".

"I heard that Mr. Xu approached your company and was rejected by you?"

Shen Xudong nodded and said with a smile: "...I don't want to have anything to do with Guo Jingming..."

Pull and step again, or fry CP... It feels disgusting to think about it.

Cao Huayi was thoughtful: "Are you not optimistic that the movie "Tiny Times" will be a hit?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "On the contrary... I think that as long as Guo Jingming shoots "Little Times", even if it turns into a piece of shit, it will definitely be a hit!"

"why?"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "He has tens of millions of fans, and "Tiny Times" has even more fans... Just like "Twilight", it is clearly a bloody multi-faceted love affair. I made three films, each of which Special hits... relying on the support of book fans!"

"Then your "33 Days of Broken Relationship"..."

"Too…"

Shen Xudong nodded, he did not deny that his IP value + the IP value of the novel "33 Days of Broken Relationship" created a box office record close to 5000 million on the first day.

Cao Huayi thought for a while: "Then if I invest..."

"Yes, why don't you do business that can make money? Besides, if you don't make this money, someone else will make it!"

……

Shen Xudong and Guo Jingming are both famous writers born in the 80s, plus Han Han...

Han Han's novels haven't sold well in recent years, and he's mostly showing off his public knowledge on his blog.

Busy running magazines, accepting interviews - and went to Wanwan to meet the handsome Ma Da!

More of a symbol than a writer...

Guo Jingming wrote "Little Times", which sold very well, and "Small Talk" also sold very well...

Although Shen Xudong went to Hollywood, he published two books the year before last - "Hunting" and "Burning"...

It directly shocked the literary world - the topic selection is sharp, and the story is absurd and realistic.

Although no new book has been published for more than two years, Shen Haobo knows how to do business. He directly excerpted and polished Shen Xudong’s blogs in recent years, and made two collections of miscellaneous essays...

Therefore, Shen Xudong has never left the literary world...

Then, many good people compare these three...

Shen Xudong has the largest number of fans, book fans and movie fans, but he is not an opinion leader, and his attitude is vague, so he has not received strong support from a bunch of media. In terms of influence, he is weaker than Han Han. After all, "New Century Weekly" selected him as " "Person of the Year 2009", "New Century Weekly" issued an initiative on its cover to "elect Han Han as mayor", which attracted a lot of people to discuss...

Shen Xudong probably can only be a cover character in magazines such as "Hollywood Report" and "Vanity Fair"...

Guo Jingming's popularity is only reflected in his fans!
Therefore, many fans of Guo Jingming feel that Shen Xudong should form an alliance with Guo Jingming...

There are even a lot of strange CP combinations...

Shen Xudong just wanted to say one thing: Don't get involved!

……

The dinner continued, and the topic of "1942" and "Little Times" ended. Chen Daoming asked Shen Xudong: "...Your "Hunting" and "Burning", do you have an adaptation plan?"

Shen Xudong didn't even think about it, and asked directly: "...Which movie does Uncle Chen want to act in?"

"I want to play "The Hunt"!"

"...This requires a director with a strong sense of rhythm...Can Guan Hu do it?"

"He's too busy directing his own movie to have time..."

Shen Xudong pondered for a while, and then said: "Actually, Ning Hao is also fine, but he will go to Hollywood for half a year to study next year... How about it... I choose a new director, how about it?"

"...you don't direct yourself?"

"No!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "The box office of "The Grandmaster" is low enough, I can't go down any further...The next movie will have at least one billion box office, and the story of "The Hunt" is too heavy, it's hard to get a high box office! "

"I've seen "The Hunt", it's very interesting..."

"...I searched for criminal records that year, and accidentally found a few unjust, false and wrongly decided cases... Then I thought of the story of "The Hunt"..."

Feng Xiaogang also nodded: "I also read this book, it's cruel..."

Hearing this, Shen Xudong immediately asked, "Is Director Feng interested?"

Feng Xiaogang was a little moved, but hesitated: "...I'll shoot...I'm worried..."

Shen Xudong ignored him and took out his mobile phone: "...Let me ask about the list of judges for next year's Berlin Film Festival..."

Feng Xiaogang was puzzled at first: Berlin, the jury list?Where is all this...?

Then I thought of something and suddenly got a little excited...

Could it be that Shen Xudong can open up relationships?
Seeing Shen Xudong, he said with regret: "The chairman of the jury is Mike Lee... I don't know this guy, and he is a British director who admires Shakespeare in various ways... I guess "The Hunt" won't win the grand prize..."

Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say, Daoming Chen suddenly said, "Xudong, is there a public relations behind the award of "The Grandmaster"?"

"Of course, MK2 won the European screening rights... They helped to fight for it, and I would like to thank a few judges..."

"several?"

Shen Xudong took it for granted: "Well... I have been in Hollywood for three years and it's not for nothing!"
