At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 627

Write something?
"what are you writing?"

"Oh, I have watched more than [-] chick movies for more than a week, and I have conceived several templates for chick movies..."

"Chicken movie?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Chick movies are also called female movies, which refer to those romantic movies with relatively relaxed and romantic plots, mostly with female characters as the core, and males relegated to supporting roles... For example, "Pretty Woman", "Legal and Blonde", Sleepless in Seattle includes things like The Devil Wears Prada…”

Chen Xi nodded, probably understood what Shen Xudong meant, and then asked, "Why did you think of making this kind of movie?"

"To make money, and by the way...Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullough, Cameron Diaz are all made famous by chick movies..."

"Then you thought of the template?"

"Of course!" Shen Xudong nodded: "Movies from a female perspective have always been the mainstream of our movies..."

This is not a lie, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, they have always attached great importance to purely female subjects, and have produced countless excellent works, and even some of them have male directors, but the shooting angles are completely female. It also tells stories about women, from young girls to mature women to old ladies, from turbulent troubled times to peaceful modern times, there are countless Chinese feminist works, such as "New Women" and "Long Live My Wife" which called for women's awakening in the Republic of China...

A Mou's early films, "Raise the Red Lantern", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", and "Shake to Grandma Bridge" are all female perspectives!
Hong Kong has "Women Forty"...

The elements of these movies: work hard, live hard, don't have to follow the example of men, and constantly strive to surpass yourself.

Of course, these movies don't count as chick flicks, because they're not romantic enough!

"The characteristics of the so-called chick movies include female perspective, cheering and inspiration; love motif, knight appearance; fashion style, urban blues; funny show, happy ending..."

"This kind of work is very selective about actors, and the heroine can't be too glamorous... To be popular with the audience, I wrote "Perfect" according to the template. You can show it to Zhao Liying later and let her see it."

"Zhao Liying..." Chen Xi took the script, quickly flipped through the plot summary, and then shook his head: "Are you not old enough?"

"...also... at least 28 years old..."

"Xiao Zhao is definitely not suitable!"

Yes, Zhao Liying is not suitable...

Who is right?
After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "You can discuss it with Han Yan... He directed this play, and I asked him to complete the script..."

"Han Yan... good!"

……

"Perfect"... In fact, this story is very dreamy, not in line with reality!
But for the mainland film market, which is a breakthrough point in the market segment, it is a very good chick movie template.

Of course, the main reason for its success is the cast: Zhang Ziyi, Fan Jiuyi, Yao Chen, Lin Xinru, He Rundong...

It perfectly fits the audience's mentality of watching the excitement.

Of course, Shen Xudong can copy it, but Zhang Ziyi's acting in this kind of movie is overwhelming, so let's change!
Actually... Weekly News is quite appropriate...

Later, when she was young, she also starred in "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman" and "My Early Girlfriend". These two films also sold well.

Of course, the best choice is definitely Bai Baihe, the proven chick movie queen!

But... Forget it, we'll talk about it later, the important thing now is "Happy Death Day".

As soon as Shen Xudong got out of the car, he was surrounded by a bunch of reporters asking about the release of "Lust, Caution".

"First of all, I am very happy to see the General Administration wake up... No matter what, "Lust, Caution" is a movie that violates mainstream ideology. It should not be released or even discussed;"

"Secondly, the release of "Lust, Caution" has nothing to do with me... Our company has not reported it. I don't know where the news came from. Let me clarify here. We do not have such a strong ability to affect public authorities. If we have This kind of ability, why do you want to make movies? You can do real estate, build houses, sell houses...how can there be a simpler business than real estate?"

"Finally...I want to say to those who say that I don't understand the art of film, 'Even if I don't understand the art of film, I also understand what is etiquette, righteousness and shame! What is national hatred and family hatred!'..."

Shen Xudong's attitude was very clear, but the media and reporters at the scene didn't want to let him off like this, and they were going to ask more questions, and there were even questions like 'how can we determine that it is a real gun'...

just speechless...

"Okay, today is the premiere of "Happy Death Day", stop asking irrelevant questions..."

"...Then, Xudong, will Zhao Liying go to Hollywood in the future?"

"No!" Shen Xudong resolutely denied, and then added: "The supporting actress in "Happy Death Day" is just because she has a schedule and the role is suitable...We let her act...It was a trivial matter, so we even publicized it. None!"

"That…"

"For the foreign language films I will lead in the future, as long as there are suitable roles, I will arrange for my own actors to participate in them, and I will not make a big splash about entering Hollywood...too much...just go to work. The foundation of Chinese actors must be the Chinese film market. .”

"Then the Hollywood movie starring Wu Jing?"

"Let me explain!" Shen Xudong said: "It's not that complicated, it's just that there is a project invitation. I read the script. Although the plot structure is old-fashioned, the behind-the-scenes team is good. I discussed it with him. He also wants to work with the Hollywood team. Let's cooperate and go..."

"You media should stop reporting about entering Hollywood, Hollywood is not that noble! Hollywood actors, especially literary and opera actors who have returned from Hollywood, are not so unattainable..."

After leaving a word, Shen Xudong walked directly into the cinema regardless of the thoughts of the media at the scene...

"Tsk tsk, Xudong doesn't seem to like those actors who are known as international superstars..."

"He specifically refers to literary and opera actors..."

"That's Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Runfa?"

"... Who else could it be?"

……

Of course Zhao Liying also attended the premiere of "Happy Death Day"...

She has never seen this movie, and even the plot is a little ignorant, after all, the script she got is just her own lines...

It only took one month for her to get familiar with reciting her lines, and it took seven days for the actual shooting. How could she have the time to familiarize herself with the script?
So, watching "Happy Death Day" for the first time, she thought it was quite fresh.

The theme of infinite reincarnation, the main plot is very simple, repeating a certain day continuously, regressing, advancing, being killed, waking up and being alive, looking for reasons, joyful, compact, romantic, and finally catching the real murderer with a twist …

Oh, Xiao Zhao also understands the role of his role: a murderer!

Xiao Zhao himself felt a little bit suddenly enlightened, not to mention the many media and reporters who watched the movie live!

As soon as the movie ended, a group of people gathered around: "Liying, I heard that the sequel plan for "Happy Death Day" has been launched, did you get notified?"
