At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 665 "Who decides my youth"?
"Five Feet of the World"!

The love between a terminally ill boy and a terminally ill girl, the instant disillusionment between life and death, is full of dramatic conflict.

The entry point of this theme is very convenient: the shooting cost is relatively low; the portrait of the core audience who enters the theater is: 20-year-old sophomores.Main purpose: fall in love; focus on vulnerable groups, occupy the moral high ground, and have a good reputation...

In the original time and space, more than ten movies of this type were born after "The Fault in Our Stars", "Before Me Met You", "Everything", "Back to Mars", "Midnight Sun", "Five Feet of the World" etc…

Except for the "Back to Mars" cross-planet love, the cost is too high, and if you lose money, most of them will make money!
The plot outline of this type of movie is consistent: getting sick at a young age—acquaintance and love—encourage each other—discussion on life—contemplative ending;

Now that the company has made "The Fault in Our Stars", let's continue to do it!
Oh, that's right, the studio didn't release a single work in the first half of this year...

No way, four horror films plus one "Twilight"...

There are only five works this year.

No, there's a "Cloverfield" coming out in April, but that's the movie's ceiling.

Lack of hit independent feature films like "Juno" and "The Fault in Our Stars"!
The situation that was finally opened by two independent feature films cannot be lost like this.

Couldn't Joseph think of this question?
I can definitely think of it, but he is very busy. In addition to Wonderful Studio, he also has his own business, such as "Damn" co-produced by Lionsgate, and "Uninvited" co-produced by Paramount...

"Damn" has a poor reputation and box office, and it didn't meet expectations. Joseph was busy throwing blame, so how could he have time to think about the studio?

Therefore, we still have to rely on Shen Xudong!

……

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong opened his notebook, found the 'Project to Get Rich', clicked on it, and then flipped through the column of low-cost comedies...

With the release of "Iron Man", Hollywood will inevitably move towards the era of commercial productions in which comic superheroes become the mainstream!
Immediately the financial crisis is coming, Hollywood is in a money shortage, and manga is the most stable type.

Then, inevitably, other types of living spaces are infinitely compressed, so Martin Scorsese bombarded Marvel that his "The Irishman" could not be released in theaters, including this time "Killers of the Flower Moon" is also directly Sign in to Apple TV+ Streaming…

But there are also independent productions that break through the siege, such as A24, which has become a new Oscar seed after Weinstein Films.

Of course, Shen Xudong has no interest in Oscar.

The works he recorded in the "Fat Fortune Plan" are basically some examples of small things and big things.

Horror, comedy, and... porn.

The porn genre is very simple, just the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series...

Hey, with the development of the times, porn movies are becoming more and more synonymous with porn films!
Even for European filmmakers who hold high the banner of art, it is difficult to make excellent works such as "Loving Venus", "Love", and "Very Apartment".

For the horror genre, Shen Xudong already has a plan. After a while, he will go to the United States, invest 200 million US dollars in "Latent", and then bring Wen Ziren into the company...

Adding Jason Blum, at least half of the future blockbuster horror genres will come from Wonderful Studios!

So, now the options are clear: Comedy!
The producer of the "Hangover" series is JC.Spink, the queen producer of Warner Bros., in addition to "The Hangover", also has "Fake Family", "Leap Year", and "Arthur", all of which are small and big.

Shen Xudong originally wanted to make it himself - this thing has a core: looking for lost memories after a hangover.

But Shen Xudong is really not good at shit...

He was not satisfied with the script written by several screenwriters...

In addition, I was busy with "The Twilight Saga" at the time, so I simply gave up!
However, the studio doesn't have any good options right now, so it's possible to start this project, so I put a √;

Then look down, "Evil Boss", "The End of the World"...

Cross it out, this is the work of the bad boy gang, Shen Xudong can't get along with them!
"Female Spy", "Hot Girl", "Bridesmaid"...

Works by Paul Feig.

Is it possible to poach him?
If not, can you provide the plot framework yourself and ask a screenwriter to write it?

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone vibrated, I looked at it, it was Zhao Baogang...

……

After the success of "Struggle", Zhao Baogang has become a famous director of first-line TV dramas.

But "Harbin Under the Night" and "Paris Fairy Tales" broadcast in the same year were not good in ratings or word of mouth!

Especially "Harbin Under the Night" was scolded by the media in various ways, "I can't believe this is something Zhao Baogang filmed."And these actors, the handsome men and the beautiful women, are an idol drama in the name of the Anti-Japanese War, and they drive away and influence the devils when they fall in love! '

Zhao Baogang was quite depressed.

Zhao Baogang at this stage still has something to pursue!
In addition to making money and ratings, he also wants praise.

After filming the spy drama "Sophie's Confession", he decided to launch "Landing, Please Turn On Your Phone" and "Who Calls My Youth"...

Well, according to Shen Xudong's suggestion, Gao Xuan and Ren Baoru were hired as screenwriters to create three pairs of characters and make them connect with each other.

The youthful story of three cousins ​​in a family, they walked into the society as adults at the same time and felt the cruelty of society.

The script was released, he probably read it once...

Then decide to shoot!

Of course, before the filming officially started, he decided to ask Shen Xudong for advice.

Of course Shen Xudong is very happy!
Zhao Baogang has always had a good relationship with him, and when we met, he made complaints about "The Deer and Ding Tale"...

Huang Xiaoming's version!

Brother Xiaoming's "The Deer and Ding Tale" premiered on March 3th, and the reputation was very poor. The general attitude of netizens, including viewers, towards Brother Xiaoming is: people and characters are completely separated, and the mouth is full of glib, too contrived.

The paper media is better, but there are all kinds of gossip on the Internet, from dubbing to plot, from goofy shots to various actors, especially Wei Xiaobao's wives.

From the present point of view, greasy is greasy, beautiful women are really eye-catching: Ake played by Ying Caier, Shuanger played by He Zhuoyan, Princess Jianning played by Shu Chang, Zeng Rou played by Li Feier, Mu Jianping played by Liu Yun, Liu Zi played Fang Yi, and Sha Yi's wife Hu Ke as Su Quan...

All the big beauties!
But at the moment in 08, it's ugly to call one match one!

Of course, Shen Xudong chatted with Zhao Baogang mainly about the TV series itself: "The post-production was too rushed, the overall color saturation was too high, giving people a slightly disgusting gorgeousness, and the dubbing also sounded weird. The good cards are broken."

"I heard it was to catch up with the schedule...the project was completed three months ahead of schedule!"

"No wonder..."

"Hey, look at the script of "Who Calls My Youth"..."

"So thin?"

"The scripts of the first three episodes, how could I give you all the scripts!"
