At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 602 I'm Going, Another One?
Yes, it's really not a good idea to invest in Jiang Wen's movie!

From an investor's point of view, Jiang Wen is definitely a scam.

The logic of film and television investment is different from the logic of creation.

It does not mean that good works will definitely make money.

What kind of director is worth investing in?

One depends on the ability to win the box office, the other depends on the ability to save costs, and the third depends on the ability to shorten the investment cycle.

Jiang Wen did not possess these three abilities.

He has directed three plays so far, only "Sunny Day" has made money...

"The Devil Is Coming" was simply banned...

"The Sun Also Rises", Gao Fenfen...didn't understand it, and even fell asleep.

Will such a movie be a hit?

It is said that "The Sun Also Rises", the investor's requirements: to have beautiful women, to have sex...

Later, "Let the Bullets Fly" "There must be hot pot, there must be wine, there must be beauties, and there must be donkeys..." That's how it came about!
After all, Gao Fenfen considered investing in Jiang Wen from the perspective of an investor...

She doesn't feel like making money!

Shen Xudong smiled and shook his head: ""The Sun Also Rises" must be losing money, so I will be the producer of his next work!"

"...Are you the producer?"

"Hmm... I stared at the whole process of filming!"

Shen Xudong has said so, of course Gao Fenfen has nothing to say...

"Okay, I still have a game, let's go first!"

"The bureau? What bureau?"

"Dinner..."

……

From the perspective of the company's short-term development, binding Feng Xiaogang is a good choice.

His movies do make money!
In the domestic film circle in the past ten years, if the power of the government is excluded, Feng Xiaogang is the number one director who can make money.

But...Shen Xudong didn't really want to get too involved with Feng Xiaogang.

It's better to leave it to the Wang family brothers, after all, they are in a circle!
As for "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" and "If You Are the One", please continue to invite, purely for business, Feng Xiaogang takes money to do things.

Can't fault this thing.

Oh, Shen Xudong did have a dinner, and it was the one where Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guo made a contract.

I heard it was Wang Shuo who asked.

Not long after, I arrived at the agreed hotel, opened the door of the box, glanced at it, and there were five people seated...

Feng Xiaogang, Xu Fan, Zhang Guoli and Wang Shuo...

There is also a girl who is quite familiar.

Seeing him push the door, a group of people stood up, Zhang Guoli spoke first: "Just came back from Canada?"

"Um…"

Shen Xudong nodded, and then greeted: "Uncle Guo Li, Director Feng, Sister Fan, Master Shuo...and this younger sister...or older sister?"

Feng Xiaogang continued: "Let me introduce, Wang Ziwen, Master Shuo's friend... how old are you?"

Wang Ziwen: "In 82, I am 25 this year..."

"Then you should call him younger brother. Xiao Shen was born in 84 and is 23 this year!"

Wang Ziwen immediately looked at Shen Xudong, this brother really couldn't shout...

Shen Xudong looked at Wang Shuo: "Master Shuo...then I'll call my sister?"

"You called your..."

"elder sister…"

"Let's go our separate ways..."

Then Wang Shuo talked about Wang Ziwen's tragic experience... I was fooled into signing a 15-year contract. If I want to terminate the contract, I have to pay 40 liquidated damages and sign a guarantee that I will not engage in the film and television industry for 20 years before I can regain my freedom...

"I can't stand this anger... I'll take care of this matter!"

full of justice...

But everyone knows Wang Shuo's virtue, isn't it because he fell in love with the little girl, why go so far?
"...Xiao Wang is an actor, you should take care of him more in the future..."

Shen Xudong nodded: "Don't worry, I'll say hello to them..."

I have to say that Wang Shuo is really old and strong, he is almost fifty, and he has changed again!

……

This time is over, Shen Xudong sat down.

Zhang Guoli picked up the wine glass: "Congratulations to Xiao Shen first, the three movies are all over [-] million..."

Feng Xiaogang reminded: "Four parts, and "Zhao Zilong" too!"

"...I'm talking about the past March, what's it called... the summer file, I read several articles, and they all say that you are the big winner of the summer file!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's just earning a reputation and there is still a distribution fee. The current market is still too small."

"It's only been three years, and you've come to where you are today..."

"It's all luck..." Shen Xudong didn't really want to talk about this, so he picked up his teacup: "Drink, drink..."

Looking at the tea in Shen Xudong's hand, Wang Shuo was a little unhappy: "Is this wine?"

"I... this is tea..."

"He's allergic to alcohol..."

"Alcohol allergies...then you can't drink?"

I'm used to it, every time we have a dinner, there is a fixed link - mocking Shen Xudong for his drinking!

A few people ate and chatted, and soon they chatted that "The Sun Also Rises" didn't win an award...

Wang Shuo was very angry: "Zhang Yi is targeting Jiang Wen!"

"...I can't talk about it, maybe he just doesn't like it?"

"Xudong, what do you think?"

“…I haven’t watched The Sun Also Rises…”

As for why Ah Mou didn't award the award to "The Sun", Ah Mou explained: "Lust, Caution" is a very good use of internationally accepted elements, so it is generally recognized. '

This comment is precisely the main reason why "The Sun Also Rises" failed to win the award.In other words, the film directed by Jiang Wen lost to Venice because it was incomprehensible to both Chinese and foreigners.

But... is "Lust, Caution" a good movie?

Shen Xudong continued: "I just don't quite understand why the Golden Lion Award should be awarded to "Lust, Caution"..."

"What happened to "Lust, Caution"?"

"You haven't read the original "Lust, Caution", have you..." Shen Xudong roughly explained the content: "...Female college student Wang Jiazhi used her beauty to approach the traitor Mr. Yi with the intention of assassinating him. When Jiazhi successfully seduced Mr. Yi and was about to do it, she found that she was already dead. The truth was moved, so he tipped off Mr. Yi and let Mr. Yi escape, but Mr. Yi decided to drive them all to death..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "Actually, after the publication of "Lust, Caution", a large number of people punished Zhang Ailing, and even forced Zhang Ailing to write an article to clarify..."

"This story...is too fake!" Wang Shuo was speechless: "The truth is moved? I'm afraid they don't understand the evil of traitors!"

Zhang Guoli nodded: "Yes, you can't use the thinking of the peaceful era to speculate on the choice of the war era. During the war, a large number of people died every day. The invaders came to your hometown, burned your house, killed your relatives and friends, Everything you once held dear is a complete hell on earth as far as you can see.

What is a traitor?The accomplice of the aggressor is even more hateful than the aggressor!
Courage still comes from anger!
At this time, will you still feel true feelings for traitors?I really can't figure it out, how do I think that I think such a movie is good? "

Shen Xudong also nodded: "If it's a foreign language film with a World War II background, the male protagonist is German, the female protagonist is Jewish, and the story is the same as "Lust, Caution", I guess the director can be scolded to death and win the Golden Lion Award? "

"...That's why I say Zhang Yimou is a stinky shit!"
