At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 663 Unhappy

Huayi Brothers has not yet been listed, and the capital reserves are not so sufficient-the investment in "The King of Kung Fu" has not been recovered.

Also making Feng Xiaogang's blockbuster "Assembly Number"...

Uh, "Assembly Number", Feng Xiaogang is still confirmed to direct, and it is estimated that it will be released in summer next year.

In short, Hua Yi simply couldn't spend 8000 million to shoot "The Empire of Heaven".

It's cheaper Shen Xudong!
Shen Xudong's conditions for funding the production are very clear: Di Renjie's copyright belongs to Tianmei Company, and no partner is required!

Chen Guofu thought for a while and agreed to the condition.

Subsequent things are simple.

"When Director Xu finishes filming "Taking Tiger Mountain Outwitted", I will let him promote "The Empire of Heaven"..."

Chen Guofu was puzzled: "Then the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" won't continue?"

"...Look at the market response of "The Ancient City of Essence". If the response is good, we will continue to produce three more... Director Xu is enough to be the producer. There are three executive directors of "The Ancient City of Essence", and they are all very good!"

Wu Ershan, Lu Yang, Guo Fan...

All of them can stand on their own!

Chen Guofu nodded, and then asked the most concerned question: "Di Renjie, who are you going to cast?"

In the Di Renjie series, the most important thing is of course the actor who plays Di Renjie!

The first thing that bears the brunt of "Tongtian Empire" is Di Renjie's image problem.

The images of historical figures are mostly portrayed by screenwriters according to the needs of the script.

Just like in history, Zhang Fei may be a handsome man with great wisdom and stupidity, but Zhang Fei in the film and television drama is a reckless man. This is something that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If there is no need to change it, anyone who changes it will be criticized!

The image of Di Renjie is not fixed, but... the appearance of Liang Guanhua, that is, the appearance of "Detective Di Renjie", makes people feel that Di Renjie is like this: a chubby old man with great wisdom, but powerless .

For those who are riding horses, Mr. Liang Guanhua is too awesome. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the lines. The lines written by Qian Yanqiu are not only long, but also like to draw ancient Chinese, and sometimes they are very awkward. That's it, Fatty Liang can still say it It's delicious, really convinced!

In contrast, "The Criminal of the Great Song Dynasty" is sometimes quite boring...

Cough cough, it is said that the propaganda department of a county party committee built a publicity column of the top ten upright officials in ancient times, including Di Renjie, Bao Zheng, Hai Rui, etc. The other pictures are all portraits, and Di Renjie is accompanied by a still photo of Liang Guanhua...

To put it another way, Di Renjie in "The Empire of Heaven" is a fashionable old-fashioned old-fashioned: he can fly and fight, is humorous and clever, and he is unrestrained, but at the same time, he also has an innate sense of responsibility that puts the people first.

Simply put: James Bond + Li Bai!

Simpler: Handsome Uncle!
Therefore, in the original time and space, Xu Ke used Andy Lau.

"Zhang Fengyi, Yu Hewei..." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly had an idea: "Can Daoming Chen do it?"

Chen Guofu hesitated: "Could Mr. Chen Daoming be too old?"

"...It's okay, Di Renjie has been in prison for eight years now...I think he is in his fifties...Mr. Chen Daoming is just right! Are you worried that Mr. Chen won't be able to act?"

"No... I'm worried about the action scenes..."

"It's okay, I'll tell him to let him practice his body a few months in advance... that's it!"

"…Row…"

……

Although I don't know whether it was Chen Guofu's idea or Xu Kede's idea to cast Andy Lau in "The Empire of Heaven", anyway, this time it is impossible!
In addition, Sha Tuo also needs to be replaced. Liang Jiahui is of course a good actor, but "Tongtian Empire" feels very confusing. The Sha Tuo played is the failure of the whole movie. I am the boss and I am very dick. It looks like he played too much paranoia, and there are sequelae.

Obviously lazy - chin thrust forward, looking at others fiercely.

Maybe he felt that "Tiantian Empire" was not a high-quality project, so he was confused.

A knowledgeable person can tell at a glance whether an actor is sincere or not.

Wu Mengda's state is obviously different in "New Oolongyuan: Laughing in the Jianghu" and "The Wandering Earth".

Sha Tuo can hand it over to Zhang Guoli, because his image has always been honest and honest, and he is very suitable to play this kind of character who looks decent on the surface, but the answer is revealed: he is the villain boss behind the scenes.

In addition, Pei Donglai handed it over to Chen Xiao, Shangguan Jinger...Think again!

There are not many heroic female characters.

Of course Li Lianhua is also suitable, but there must be more suitable...

……

At the end of March, something happened that made Shen Xudong very unhappy——"BJ Welcomes You" didn't invite him!

grass... a plant...

Shen Xudong, a famous musician, was not invited to "BJ Welcomes You"...

Ji Minjia, Zhang Nala...even Zheng Xiyi was selected!

Tianmei Company, Chen Hao, Zhang Hanyun, and Zhao Liying also went to record the MV, but Shen Xudong was not invited!

It's very frustrating...

Especially knowing that Lin Zhiling and Zhang Ziling were also invited to sing...

Very unhappy!
Yes, Shen Xudong is tone deaf, a well-known soul singer in the circle,
But... Recording songs is not a live performance. Some singers record sentence by sentence, some singers record song by song, and some singers record word by word...

Why, Shen Xudong doesn't deserve this kind of treatment?
Very upset, and complained for several days, Chen Xi couldn't listen anymore: "Then you have the ability to write a better song than "BJ Welcomes You"!"

Shen Xudong... shut up!

There is a causal logic in this: "BJ Welcomes You" became a household name because it became the theme song of the Olympics, not because it became the theme song of the Olympics.

For four months, the streets and alleys will be played on a loop. In addition, the major TV stations will broadcast the MV of "BJ Welcomes You" at noon...

The promotion power is at the national level!

What does Shen Xudong compare with others?
Chen Xi: "You're not a singer in the first place, so it's normal not to invite you..."

Shen Xudong defended: "But I'm a musician, I made all the albums of Chen Hao and Fan Bingbing!"

"You haven't released a new work for two years..."

Well... what Chen Xi said makes sense!

But still upset...

"If you are confident, you can submit to the Olympic Organizing Committee. They are soliciting the theme song for the opening ceremony..."

Shen Xudong sneered: "...haha, forget it, I have no ability to compete with Chen Qigang..."

Gao Fenfen interjected: "Teacher Chen Qigang is the music director of the opening ceremony and one of the judges who selected the theme song. To avoid suspicion..."

"Avoiding suspicion? You call this avoiding suspicion, and others call it "receiving talents without avoiding relatives, do your part!"

The theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, an opportunity to be famous in history, who would miss it?
Chen Xi changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this... Have you watched the trailer of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor"?"

"...No..." Shen Xudong shook his head, and added by the way: "I don't care!"

"April 4rd will be released at the same time as our "Zhao Zilong 3"...you don't care?"

"Why do I care about it? I'm promoting "Guan Yunchang" recently..."

"The script is finalized?"

"Um…"

"Where's the director?"

"Teacher Yu Rongguang wants to direct and act on his own..."

　I won't ask for leave for the last 20 days, and I will definitely ask for leave during the wedding days...

　　Four more tomorrow...
