At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 383 Probability of winning...

The host is Li Weijia: "Is Xu Dong a fan of Director Xu?"

"That's right... There are three Chinese film directors that I like before, director Xu Ke, director Zhang Yimou, and director Yang Dechang!"

"...Why do you like him?"

"In terms of contribution to the film, director Xu Ke's innovation in the lens language of action scenes is groundbreaking... Early Hong Kong action films were more inclined to action design than lens language. Director Xu's "Swordsman" can be regarded as martial arts A revolution in action movies…”

Shen Xudong talked a lot.

In fact, these are all mentioned in "Screening Room"!

"Screen Room" is an inventory of Hong Kong film history, and action films must be the top priority-the signature of Hong Kong films is action films!

This is easy to understand, because your other genres are no match for Hollywood and European films...

Xu Ke is indeed very good. Before him, in Hong Kong action movies, the shots were more about coherence, cutting without splitting the action narrative, the overall action scene was static and flowing, and the composition was neat...

Why discuss whether to win an award?
It's very simple. According to the experience of "Outstanding Citizen", if you win the award, the overseas copyright will be very popular. In addition, you can also report it in China, print more than 200 copies, and release it on a large scale...

"I think we can contact them... Let Gong Li or Chen Daoming show up..."

It can only be said that it is a kind of loss of control for the director to let him do such nonsense.

Chen Xi nodded, and then suggested: "Recently "Super Girl" is very popular, can we promote "National Witness" on the show?"

"That's good…"

"Garbage, Xu Ke probably ruined it halfway through the filming!"

"...I still won't comment, it can be seen that Director Xu has worked hard!"

market expectation…

This year's summer, China Film's main promotion is "National Witness", and the main publisher of "Initial D" is Bona!

"They are actors...and why should they go? It's not suitable!" Shen Xudong shook his head, and then said: "Forget it, you can contact me, I'll go!"

The most I can say is that the music is awesome.

In the car, Chen Xi was waiting for him. When they met, they directly asked, "How is it?"

Bruce Lee's movements, no one can do it except him.

Therefore, even if it is popular in later generations to reverse the verdict, it will be difficult to reverse "Seven Swords"...

"Okay, thank you Xudong..."

Zhao Linhai spoke first: "This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chinese films. I think...the Venice Film Festival may give Chinese films some face!"

Many actors without martial arts skills can also star in martial arts movies, such as Lin Qingxia, Liang Jiahui...

Xu Ke innovatively pioneered the cutting of shots, no longer pursuing complete action logic, and even switching between two shots to create completely different pictures, which to some extent gave the audience room for reverie.

Obviously, during filming, the director lost control over the film, and the most frightening thing was that he lost his basic judgment. When portraying characters, he made a lot of tricks: he was full of color on perverts, on the formalism of the Seven Swords, on the symbolic The Wuzhuang people who are oppressed and bullied by all living beings are condescending and insensitive.

"No, I just thought of it on the spur of the moment... Let's go, I have to study the release and promotion of "The Aviator"!"

Shen Xudong frowned: "...Did you have this idea from the beginning?"

"Seven Swords" can't do it, and "Initial D" is much worse, it can only be "Witness of the People"!
Therefore, China Film Group will definitely put all its energy into releasing "Witness of the People"...

In other words, you have to be a Lianjiazi to be able to take the lead in action movies...

Blockbuster!
Why are you holding on to Shen Xudong?

Li Weijia asked him what he thought of "Seven Swords". Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then his tone showed a hint of bewilderment: "I don't understand, but I was greatly shocked!"

"Super Girl" is becoming popular now, and it's a common thing to use the program to promote the movie...

The topic is back to "The Aviator". The film has been finished a long time ago, and it has passed the review and got the qualification for Venice as the main competition unit of the film festival...

The strength of China Film, in a word: "The Promise", which sold poorly all over the world, sold a box office of 1.75 million in the mainland!

Of course, Chen Xi probably didn't expect that "Super Girl" would become a phenomenon...

"...It's not impossible!"

These have to be considered!
Regarding the quality of the film, everyone is quite satisfied. "The Aviator" is not badly shot. Apart from being romantic, it also has a sense of changing times...

Even in post-editing, it was in this out-of-control state.

Shen Xudong was about to leave after getting rid of the crowd of reporters, and then he heard a reporter ask: "Can you make martial arts movies?"

Therefore, Shen Xudong admires Xu Ke very much!

"Absolutely not, and it will even promote!"

"Then if we win the Golden Lion Award, can we promote it on a large scale?"

But... "Seven Swords" does not belong to this list...

After the screening, a group of people began to discuss the distribution and promotion of the film in the Mainland...

Why not say Bruce Lee?

"...I'm looking for a suitable director...Okay, go and interview Li Ming and Donnie Yen!"

In such a high-minded movie, Sun Honglei is the bright spot, sometimes frantic, sometimes humorous, directly destroying the atmosphere of the whole movie.

Why did Chen Xi suggest that Shen Xudong go to "Super Girl" to promote "National Witness" - because the company undertook the promotion task of "National Witness"...

"Not now?"

"...will that have any effect on Witness?"

"...shocked?"

Therefore, Shen Xudong is very relieved...

By quickly cutting the narrative, the imagination is free...

In private, of course, you can tell the truth.

The villain just stole the limelight from the protagonist and the others, seven swords, seven decent people!

"...Can't promote it? Super Girl sings..."

……

"Yes, you are very suitable, you are the talented producer of the new generation of music..."

In fact, Chen Xi didn't care much about "Witness of the People" - the film company only participated in 15% of the votes, and the distribution was handed over to China Film...

There is nothing they can't do!

How many copies are printed?
How much did you invest in publicity?

According to Shen Xudong's deduction, there must be a movie with a box office of more than [-] million in this summer's file - last year's "House of Flying Daggers" broke [-] million, and there is no movie with a box office of more than [-] million in the same schedule. Doesn't it mean that Chinese movies are declining?

Ma Dan, can't you hear the subtext?
The point of this sentence is: I don't understand!

……

In addition, the publisher of "Seven Swords" was originally Paul Bona, and China Film only assisted in the distribution...

That is, the star lineup of "Seven Swords" is very powerful, Donnie Yen, Li Ming, Yang Caini, Lu Yi, Sun Honglei, Zhang Jingchu...

Shen Xudong reluctantly said: "Sun Honglei's performance is too good..."

Zhao Xin asked back, "Give me a Golden Lion Award?"

For the internal screening, most people in the company attended to watch it...

Ma Zhongjun interrupted Li Weijia's savings question, he heard the meaning of Shen Xudong's words, well, he was a screenwriter, and he actually saw the problems of "Seven Swords" - all problems, Sun Honglei's problem is the most serious!

Shen Xudong stopped, thought for a while, and said: "I should be able to do it. I have written "Sword Rain Rivers and Lakes" and "Sui Houzhu" in the previous "Supplementary Records". Martial arts, quite suitable for adaptation into a movie!"

This is true for Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung including Lau Ka Leung and Yuan Heping!

Last year's "Outstanding Citizen" did just that, earning more than 1400 million at the box office!

Everyone is still looking forward to "The Aviator".

Not only looking forward to winning awards, but also looking forward to box office business success...

However, Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Don't think about it, this year's Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award will definitely go to Li Min's "Brokeback Mountain"..."
