At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 784 "Journey to the West" series

In fact, it is normal for insiders to look down on outsiders.

Especially in the movie circle, there is a threshold for this thing!

You can make movies if you have money?

Ma Yun also thought so, and once wanted to subvert the traditional production of film history. After Ari entered the film and television industry, he was awesome in those few years.

There is quite an attitude of 'I come, I see, I conquer'.

Swear what to say, 'it is past tense for the screenwriter to decide what story to write. Now we decide what to shoot based on IP and popularity.Then find a group of screenwriters or non-screenwriters, professional or non-professional people to write together, whoever writes the best will use whoever, professional screenwriters just perform a text conversion function at the end. '

According to the common saying on the Internet, it is "through big data analysis, find a good track, that is, a good story."Then around this track, incubate several teams, conduct internal horse racing, and tilt resources to the group with good data, and finally get the result. '

After three years of not producing a work, he said, "Ari Films will rely on the entire industry chain platform and steady and solid content to present a development outlook that is different from traditional film and television production companies." '

"The Ferryman", "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", "Blood of the Machine", after the three blood loss works, they have kept a low profile, and they will no longer brag about reformers.

Even Ma Yun is like this, let alone Yangzi!
Yes, competition within the circle is a bit like a poker game, the point is that you have a chance to be on the table!
The first movie, you just want to be on the table?
I'm sorry, times have changed, and you are not Zhang Weiping, and you don't have the card of Zhang Yimou in your hand.

Shen Xudong directly posted a long Weibo: "Shui Jun still has one star comment and can't destroy Chinese movies!"

"In the open field of public opinion, there is indeed a phenomenon of disorder in the evaluation of movies.

On the scoring platform, there are both positive and negative reviews; in the self-media, there are also malicious negative reviews that grab attention, and there are even "personal attacks".

With an open market and open public opinion, there is bound to be pressure from various unexpected situations.

So, if the bath water is dirty, do you have to throw out the child in the basin?

Will film works really be ruined by "one star"?Will the movie ecology really be affected by "bad reviews"?But not necessarily. "

"Last year's "Let the Bullets Fly" relied on the market and word of mouth to complete the counterattack, and finally dominated the Lunar New Year file;

This year's "Yunnan Insect Valley", many people were not optimistic about it before it was released, and finally won 8 million box office.

Looking at it from another perspective, a movie that relies more or less on the "star lineup", "five cents special effects", and "scandal hype" to gain attention, even if it buys 1 "five-star reviews", it will eventually be reduced to a laughing stock.

Instead of letting go of blaming others, it's better to reflect on your attitude or level.In addition, there is an iron rule for those who want to enter the film industry, the audience is always right, never complain about the audience...even those who give you bad reviews! "

"In addition, I would like to say that a movie, even a commercial movie, is by no means the reference standard of box office data that can represent its success or failure. "A Chinese Journey to the West" lost money at the box office that year, and became Zhou Xingchi's best work ten years later. "Wu Ying Hero" is not considered a success at the box office, and is now the best action film in film history selected by major film professional magazines, and it is also the treasure of the movie channel..."

"In the final analysis, it may be a much more important issue to really come up with works that can stand, spread, and be preserved."

"Together with you." @江子…

……

After posting Weibo, Shen Xudong didn't even read the reply - he was busy fishing...

Not him alone, but also Xu Ke...

"Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" is basically finished in the later stage, and it is confirmed that the Lunar New Year will be released, and the specific time must be staggered from "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"...

They are all big productions, there is no need to fight to the death.

In the original time and space, the two blockbuster films started painting on the same day, which led to the loss of both sides...

"Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" basically continues the original story frame: the knight Zhao Huaian stabs the governor of the East Factory to death, and the governor of the West Factory Yu Huatian chases and kills Zhao, so the traitor palace maid Su Huirong flees, and Su Huirong arrives with the heroine Ling Yanqiu JYG Longmen, they fought fiercely with the Tatar caravan, the female thief Gu Shaotang, and the secret agent of Xichang in Longmen. After Zhao Huaian arrived, everyone took advantage of the tornado to find the Castle of Heaven. After a battle for gold and a contest between good and evil, Zhao Huaian killed In Yuhuatian, all evils disappear in smoke...

This framework is a given!

Shen Xudong was very impressed with "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", and he commented in one sentence: If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it will end up being different.

This movie, the portraits of the rivers and lakes, the pictures are beautiful, but whether it is Tsui Hark or Zhao Huaian, including myself in front of the TV, I always feel like a middle-aged person, and after all, I am short of a white-clothed victory. Qiu's chivalry.

Also... Li Lianlian is really old!

Visible aging...

Shen Xudong made some changes to "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", mainly because there are many idiot-like lines and mentally retarded passages...

The iron rope Hengjiang, the lonely smoke in the desert, and the middle current hit the water, all the elements that should be there are not bad, but why is Hu Weili's music no matter how good it is, it doesn't feel at all?

Jianghu, don't care how many sects and disputes you show.It's about whether you can make people imagine beyond the picture given by the lens.

The mediocrity of the imperial court brought by the elements of Xichang makes life difficult for the people;
The treacherous rivers and lakes brought about by the element of treasure hunting are ill-fated;
The love between children brought by Xiaodi elements is speechless...

you have to show it...

In terms of actors, Shen Xudong has always wanted to replace Li Lianlian, but he couldn't!
"Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" is Xu Ke's play to experiment with 3D martial arts. For the three-dimensional effect, the editing rhythm must be slowed down. Then, the action rhythm is basically solved by the actors' movements, and the requirements for action actors are relatively high...

Only Li Lian can do it.

Therefore, several actors in the film wore masks or veils, presumably to solve the problem of action stunt actors passing through.

In addition...Xu Ke filmed "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" and also has the intention of joining forces with Li Lianlian to fight again...

2.2 million cost...

Fortunately, Li Lianlian still has some overseas recognition, Xu Ke + Li Lianlian, the combination is also very powerful, plus 3D martial arts...

So, the rights sale did okay, close to $1200 million...

Southeast Asia is handed over to Golden Harvest for distribution. In theory, as long as the box office in the mainland exceeds 3 million, it will be enough to recover the cost.

So, Shen Xudong didn't feel too much pressure...

But Xu Ke is under a lot of pressure...

But he came here mainly to intercede for Cheng Xiaodong - "Legend of the White Snake" was directed by Cheng Xiaodong.

Shen Xudong has no objection to Cheng Xiaodong - it can be seen that he has tried his best, but he is not strong enough!

He approached Xu Ke for another reason: "Director Xu, I heard that you are interested in "Journey to the West"? Always wanted to direct?"

Xu Ke immediately forgot about Cheng Xiaodong: "Yes... I have been doing research..."
