At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 240 Teacher Tian (34)

It should have been in November 03. The leader of the film bureau took the initiative to call Wang Xiaoshuai and asked him to inform Jia Zhangke, Lou Ye and other famous independent directors at that time to sit down and talk face to face...

This symposium was later dubbed by the media as "Seven Gentlemen of Independent Film Jointly Submitted to the Film Bureau".

In the two years before this, China had just joined the World Trade Organization, and the quota for imported films increased from 1994 per year in 10 to 20.

当时进口大片对国内电影市场已经造成了冲击：1995年《真实的谎言》在中国获得1.02亿票房，再加上《阿甘正传》《红番区》等电影，进口片票房占总额的80%；1998年《泰坦尼克号》的出现更是拿下了3.6亿的票房成绩。

In order to resist the impact of Hollywood films and at the same time enhance the artistic competitiveness of domestic films, it is of sufficient significance for this group of independent directors who continue to win awards overseas to "reform".

But after becoming a full-time employee, these people still haven't handed over their business achievements...

Jia Zhangke's "The World", Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red", Lou Ye's "Purple Butterfly"...

The market doesn't buy it at all!
A bunch of people even said that after being recruited, they lost their aura!

In fact, such a dilemma was doomed many years ago.

""The Aviator"...I don't want to sell it for now..."

Their works often show more personal and artistic aesthetics and expressions-but the public prefers ups and downs of stories and shocking visual effects.

Shen Xudong smiled: "It's okay, I'm only 20 years old, and it's still a long time."

Whether it is Lu Chuan, who entered the film academy at the same time as Jia Zhangke, or Zhang Yuan, Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai, etc. who were earlier than him, these sixth-generation Chinese directors received systematic European film education when they were students—film It is a work of art and not a commercial product!

Don't always blame Yang Lan, in 01, Moscow's bid for the 08 Olympic Games, her speech really surprised the whole world!
Therefore, she asked for Shen Xudong's contact information, and the latter did not refuse...

"More than [-] characters... I am a computer code..."

From this point of view, Yang Lan is more responsible than Lu Yu. At least she can prepare lessons. Lu Yu's level has dropped too much since "A Date with Lu Yu" became a daily broadcast...

Shen Xudong recorded it for about an hour and watched it. There were only two sections, one talking about novels, and the other talking about film and television...

"I haven't counted this one... there should be no more than ten."

"...then how long do you write every day?"

Received a call from Zhang Guoli, saying that someone wanted to buy the copyright of "The Aviator", Shen Xudong politely declined...

"If I can find a director who can realize my idea, I won't have to make a movie myself!"

Destiny is mixed with the torrent of the times. At a certain moment, they represent the pioneers, but before the times, they are nothing!

Shen Xudong nodded: "I wrote "National Witness" and "Tailor" for Mr. Chen Daoming, "Manslaughter" for Mr. Gong Li, "Mobile Phone 2" for director Feng Xiaogang...and two horror movies for Tang Ren Company. scripts, "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village", "The Legend of the Xing'an Mountain Hunter"... For movies, by the way, Xingmei also wants a horror script. I am writing "Paper Man Returning to the Soul"...that's all for the time being;

Yang Lan nodded: "I'm looking forward to it!"

Often while doing business, personal affairs are also handled.

Yang Lan finally asked a question: "Can you be a director?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "I will set a task for myself and write a little every day. Generally speaking, a movie script will be released in about two days, and a TV series should be slower. If there are 30 episodes, it will take 20 days...a novel, a The month is almost finished!"

He felt that "The Aviator" was not suitable for Feng Xiaogang...

"About two hours!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Shen Haobo...my producer urged me, so I wrote it..."

Shen Xudong was a little embarrassed: "I originally planned to write a story about a post-[-]s entrepreneur, but when I wrote it, it changed its shape... But it should be very good when it is made into a TV series... I am negotiating with director Baogang, and he completed the project in his hand. "What can save you, my love", let's save the script together..."

Then I heard Tian Zhuangzhuang's name.

"Where did you find the time to write such a script?"

……

……

There is no mention of life or anything, which has already been discussed in "Dialogue" before.

"thanks…"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "It depends on the situation..."

"what's the situation?"

Yang Lan was surprised: "Wow! There are so many... new book "Struggle"?"

Shen Xudong...subconsciously wanted to agree, but felt unreliable, because no one could understand the stuff directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang!
But Shen Xudong wants to express it commercially, to arouse public empathy...

Didn't you say that you found the key in XX's office?

Compared with hard work, the media itself has taken a shortcut, obtained wealth that should not belong to them, and made them deny the value of hard work!
The more incompetent and benefited, the more they think they deserve more...

At that time, there was too much backwardness. After seeing the prosperity, many people's backbones were completely broken, and even made ridiculous remarks such as racial theories, thinking that we are destined to be backward compared to Europe and the United States...

"Then how many words can you write in an hour?"

The TV series... "Sword" has finished filming, "The Condor" is still casting... "Beauty's Scheming" has started... By the way, I also wrote a new book "Struggle"..."

"This is difficult!"

"I think this is a very romantic story. If you want to shoot...who? Master Tian Zhuangzhuang? Then...can I meet him?"

The films directed by Tian are too egoistic.

……

It doesn't mean anything else, I just feel that there is something worth learning from her!
Don't underestimate these media people. They deal with elites from all walks of life in politics and business all day long.

"Interview with Yang Lan" is very short, about 10 minutes per episode.

In fact, those who work in the media have seen the luxury and exquisiteness of foreign countries and the West, and it is natural to want to pursue it, but they ignore the objective laws of development and want to take shortcuts...

"How many scripts have you written this year?"

"What is "Struggle" about?"

"Then you do the math now!"

Zhang Guoli said: "He is going to meet and discuss with you in detail..."

"That's fine... when I come back from Venice..."

"Then I'll wait for your triumphant return!"

"Haha...Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for your blessing."
