At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 658 The company... is too big
Changying, the full name of Changchun Film Studio.

With the reform of theater chains, movies will follow the market and the road of commercial films.

At that time, the film studios closed down one after another, and the old film studios such as Xiying, Changying, and Shanghai Film were later turned into rental units, and the cast and director teams were gone...

In 99, Changying Group Co., Ltd. was established on the basis of Changying Factory.

By selling the old factory area to revitalize the assets, a large-scale tourism and entertainment project - Changying Century City was built on the outskirts of Changchun.

That's right, it has become a group whose main business has become cultural tourism!
As a veteran film studio, Changying definitely wants to make movies.

At present, more than 1 million funds have been raised, and I want to revive...

The "Bronze Sparrow Terrace" project can be regarded as a face project!
Of course, "Tongque Terrace" was able to impress Changying mainly because of Zhou Runfa's low-paying role-indeed, he took over "Tongque Terrace" with a very low salary, which shows that the script must be good...

Shen Xudong quickly flipped through the script...

It's really good!

The themes of revenge and seizure of power, the interweaving of external social struggles and inner conflicts of the characters have the color of Shakespeare's plays.

But this movie sucks!
"Tongque Terrace" has a good script, but not a good director, not because of the plot, not because of the performance of the actors, but some places that should be intense and explosive, and he always tries to get rid of them .

Originally, the mood went up a bit, but I don't know why, suddenly a turning point or a shot, the mood immediately went down again.

After watching the whole film, I feel like when I defecate, I always feel constipated and can't enjoy myself.

It's not that there are no bright spots in the movie, but the bright spots are all in the actors. There is a scene where Cao Cao almost kills his son, a scene where Cao Cao has a dialogue with the emperor, and Liu Yifei's beautiful Hanfu...

It can only be said that the director Zhao Linshan is not good!

His eyesight was not good enough, so he hired Zhao Xiaoding to do the photography.

Zhao Xiaoding has never had much talent in terms of camera movement.

Of course the golden armor is beautiful, but it is limited to beauty. The lens is so poor and the composition is simple, it is a "photo studio" style.

Don't watch the movie he collaborated with A Mou, A Mou himself is extremely talented in art.

If you look at his works after he left A Mou, such as "Assassin's Tomb" and "The Beauty of Jiangshan", the moving camera is a simple large translation...

If the photographer of "Tongque Terrace" was replaced by Bao Xuanming from "The Wind", or Lu Chuan's queen Cao Yu.The action shots of these two people are very good.

This film is estimated to be more than twice as good.

In fact, there is a very popular film project in the Mainland, which is to do court dramas in ancient costumes!

Create an epic feeling.

Great directors have more or less filmed.

"Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", "Night Banquet", "The Golden Armor in the City"...

The same is true of "Tongque Terrace", the characters speak ancient Chinese, well, they are actually half-literate lines...

According to Shen Xudong's thinking, it is impossible for him to invest in such a project!

What's more, people's parents will still dominate...

However, Shen Xudong was very curious why Zhao Linhai came to him. Didn't he know Xudong's habits?
Seeing Shen Xudong flipping through the script quickly, Zhao Linhai asked expectantly, "How is the script?"

Shen Xudong: "... so-so..."

"How many points can you score?"

Shen Xudong asked subconsciously: "...you wrote the script?"

"No ..."

"Then why do you care about this?"

While talking, Shen Xudong closed the script and said casually: "I can't participate in this project. The Three Kingdoms I made is a story familiar to the audience, and it doesn't fit in with this at all!"

"Then do you think Mr. Bao Guoan will accept this role?"

Shen Xudong looked at Zhao Linhai suspiciously: "...what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Linhai finally explained: "This play is directed by my cousin... He wants to use the script to persuade powerful people to join, and then get the investment from Changying..."

"Your cousin? What's your cousin's name?"

"Zhao Linshan!"

"Oh…"

Got it, that makes sense...

Zhao Linshan, Zhao Linhai...

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "You might as well let him fool Zhou Runfa, Zhou Runfa has no culture and is easy to be fooled!"

"Zhou Runfa? Don't you hate him very much?"

"Yeah, I hate him...but it doesn't affect that he is a good actor...and he always wanted to play Cao Cao..."

"He wants to play Cao Cao? Then why didn't he accept "Red Cliff"?"

""Red Cliff" asked him to play Zhou Yu..."

Zhao Linhai frowned: "It's not easy to do..."

Shen Xudong didn't take it seriously: "Corporal, how can anyone not be invited? If they don't come, you just bow! If you don't come after bowing, you kneel! Besides, the image of Cao Cao in "Bronze Sparrow Terrace" is quite attractive." of…"

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my cousin...Are you not going to participate?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "What about my bunch of projects... Also, I have a suggestion."

Zhao Linhai immediately took out a pen and paper: "Tell me!" "It's not about the script...it's about the investors. I heard that Wanda intends to enter into film production. You can ask my cousin to find them!"

"Wanda? Wanda Cinemas?"

"Um…"

……

In the original time and space, "Tongque Terrace" did not have a good film schedule. I heard that it was because the division offended the cinema. During the National Day, it only got 10% of the film schedule...

I don't know if it's true or not, but I only know that in those few years, the relationship between light and several major theaters was really bad...

Oh, the publisher is the light!
Shen Xudong is just a friendly reminder...

Have a relationship with him for half a dime?

He doesn't want to invest in Changying or Liu Yifei...

The project "Bronze Sparrow Terrace" is estimated to be delayed for a while...

The original time and space was not officially launched until 2011, and it was released in 2012.

……

Zhao Linhai chatted with Shen Xudong for a while, and then went back to his office. Shen Xudong... continued to consider the cast of "33 Days of Broken Relationship".

First write down the requirements: the male protagonist looks very sissy and speaks sweetly, but he is very manly when he should be a man. He tactfully helps the heroine Xiaoxian to avenge her cheating ex-boyfriend. Fall in love with Huanxi's enemy lightly.

30 or so...

Brother Hu is actually... okay, but his lines are so hot-especially when he speaks loudly, he always feels that his voice will burst in the next second!

Of course, he has nationality here, so he will always be an option.

It's like Shu Qi and Ang Lee—Shu Qi is the actor "in my pocket". When I can't find an actor I am satisfied with, I just need to search my pocket.

The premise is that no suitable actor can be found!

Thinking of Brother Hu, Shen Xudong suddenly thought of Wang Kai...

Kai Kai should be quite suitable, he seems to have played Chen Jiaming in "Ugly Invincible"...

With this in mind, Shen Xudong immediately called Chen Xi.

When the latter heard that he was looking for an actor named Wang Kai, he was obviously stunned: "Wang Kai?"

"Yes, we're in the middle of a play..."

Shen Xudong was thinking about Wang Kai's works... Then, Chen Xi on the other end of the phone hung up...

How dare she hang up the phone?

Do you want to do it?
Shen Xudong was about to dial back again, when someone knocked on the door, Chen Xi walked in with the information in his hand: "Is it him?"

"That's right, that's him. I want to invite him to star in my new movie. You can contact his agent!"

Hearing this, Chen Xi sighed: "...he is an actor under our banner, and he acted in "The Best Housekeeper", don't you remember?"

"...I... the company is too big, you sign so many actors every year, how can I remember them all?"

Chen Xiyouyou added: "He has also acted in "Snow Leopard" and "Latent". Some time ago, he auditioned for "Scary Step by Step" and won the male lead..."
