At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 676 Next time definitely!
Golden Harvest Films, although they do all genres, the focus is still on martial arts and action movies.
Remakes are an established strategy.

Known success story templates + non-overlapping audiences for remake and original = guaranteed market and word of mouth...

The premise is not to collapse very badly.

And there is one more point - the remake is easy to pass the review!

After working so hard to make a movie or TV series, even if it is a small-budget micro-movie, if the result in exchange is to be directly killed...

Isn't everyone's hard work all in vain?

To make a movie in China, the most important thing is to pass the review!

Then if you think about movies like "The Legend of Modern Heroes" and "Three Heroes of the East", it is basically impossible to be released in the mainland, because these two types belong to the apocalyptic wasteland style.

The apocalyptic wasteland style is bound to be accompanied by a doomsday disaster and subsequent anarchy, so if things related to this theme are games and novels, it’s okay, and the performance on the big screen involves censorship issues...

"Mad Max: Fury Road" did not make it to the big screen!
Shen Xudong's idea is to make it into a web drama...

Why bring it up now?

Isn't this out of topic?

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Zhiqiang left first, and then Yang Shoucheng also left...

"Let me treat you to something to eat!"

Well, only Shen Xudong, Aunt Liu, and Liu Yifei are left on the boat...

Of course, there are also those responsible for sailing.

The two had nothing to do, Shen Xudong dialed the phone skillfully and ordered some pastries...

I haven't eaten until now, and my stomach is already growling!
Eat with the sea view of Victoria Harbour.

While eating, I briefly asked about the situation of "The King of Kung Fu"...

Liu Yifei is very satisfied with "The King of Kung Fu".

She said her character was Jin Yanzi, Shen Xudong nodded and said, "Then you should ask Teacher Zheng Peipei for advice!"

"Why ask her?"

"Golden Swallow is the most classic image of a heroine she created. The chivalrous woman in "The Drunk Man"...is the first female heroine image in the history of Chinese film who disguises herself as a man, is heroic, and has both civil and military skills. Later, Zheng Peipei also starred "Golden Swallow"...don't you know?"

"Where would I know..."

"Haven't you read the script of "The King of Kung Fu"?"

"I saw it!"

"You should know that "The King of Kung Fu" is all a tribute. Jackie Chan's appearance is a drunk man. Martial arts is a drunken master. Jackie Chan became an Asian superstar by virtue of his drunken martial arts in 78. Li Lianhe's appearance is a monk. He is exactly He became famous all over the world with the little monk Jueyuan of Shaolin Temple in 83.

Jin Yanzi and the white-haired witch are all classic martial arts characters! "

"…Really…"

Liu Yifei was a bit surprised, she accepted the filming of "The King of Kung Fu" purely because of the strong star cast...

Analyzing scripts is not her strong point at all!
Aunt Liu interrupted suddenly: "But I heard that they first asked you to be the screenwriter?"

"No... just let me fix the character image, the script is fixed..."

"Then why don't you go?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "The frame of the script is fixed, which means I have no right to change the plot. I am the best screenwriter at the Oscars..."

Aunt Liu suddenly remembered and nodded: "Yes, you have won an Oscar..."

Liu Yifei interrupted her: "Then... from the writer's point of view, what do you think of "The King of Kung Fu"?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "Kung Fu movies for foreigners, don't talk about the plot, just follow the template of "Lord of the Rings"!"

"So, you don't like it?"

Shen Xudong did not answer this question, but said: "With Li Lianlian and Jackie Chan, it is certain that the world will exceed [-] million!"

"Dollar?"

"nonsense!"

While chatting, the phone rang, Shen Xudong took out his phone, it was... Huang Baiming.

"Are you still at the Peninsula Hotel?"

"...I'm in Victoria Bay, what's the matter?"

"...You come to Hong Kong, of course I want to receive you... How about it, tomorrow night, at the Hilton Hotel!"

"Don't go to the hotel..."

"Then... a nightclub?"

"...I mean find a restaurant with good food..."

"Okay, I'll arrange it, see you tomorrow night!"

Hanging up the phone, meeting Liu Yifei's searching eyes, he explained: "It's Huang Baiming, he asked me to have dinner with me tomorrow night."

"You guys know each other well?"

"...It's okay, we Jiahe and his Dongfang Film and Television have a few cooperative movies..."

……

At about 11:[-], Shen Xudong took a shower, returned to the room wrapped in a towel, turned on the computer, and prepared to watch today's entertainment news...

Oh, Liu Yifei didn't come together...

Went back to the hotel with her mother.

It's a normal thing, you can't take Aunt Liu with you, right?
Aunt Liu said a lot of good things, Anli and Liu Yifei...

I want her to take over a few Golden Harvest movies.

But...Xudong was a little scared about the use of Liu Yifei—Ba Lian Kneeling!

The box office has been kneeling for several years, acting one after another...

Both "To Youth 2" and "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" failed at the box office?

Disney's live-action animation movie, never missed, once touched her, fell directly...

She caught up with Xiao Xianrou's turn from prosperity to decline, and the deteriorating Sino-US relations also made her catch up...

Also, in Ari Films, Lao Ma was very ambitious back then, and he had a bunch of big data factions. He felt that he could change Chinese movies, and then he collaborated with Liu Yifei in a few movies...

Of course, the decline of Ahri Films has nothing to do with her directly...

But why did she run into it?

This stuff can be described as bad luck.

Although Shen Xudong is not superstitious, there are some things that are better believed than not believed.

Therefore, a unified reply: next time for sure!
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Shen Xudong will definitely praise her because of his brain congestion...

But it shouldn't be...

It's not like he hasn't seen beautiful women before!
……

The time is April 4th, "Zhao Zilong 11" and "Dragon Unloading Armor" have been released for 2 days, well, it is actually 7 days...

Because it's the wee hours of the morning!
The cumulative box office of "Zhao Zilong 2" has successfully exceeded 1.02 million, and now it is 5060 million, and "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor" is [-] million...

The gap between the two sides continues to widen.

According to the forecast of the theater, the final box office of "Zhao Zilong 2" is between 1.8 million and 2 million...

It's a bit high, the company's forecast should be around 1.5 million!
Because, "The King of Kung Fu" is coming...

Its publicity was too great, and it directly affected many viewers who originally wanted to go to the theater to watch "Zhao Zilong 2"-it's better to wait and see Li Lianlian and Jackie Chan...

After all, movie tickets are still very expensive at this stage!

Overseas, under the impact of "Zhao Zilong 2", the box office of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" was sluggish--Singapore only won 30 US dollars at the box office, while "Zhao Zilong 2" earned 80 US dollars...

This matter has a great impact.

It's not just about Andy Lau, and it's not just about Golden Harvest or Shen Xudong's strong production capabilities, but it's related to the format of co-productions!

The leading actor of "Zhao Zilong 2" is Nie Yuan, a mainland actor who has no overseas roots before!

In a joint venture between Hong Kong and mainland China, the male lead must be an actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the female lead can be given to the mainland...

According to Wang Jing: Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have overseas markets...

This also directly led to the suppression of mainland male actors for nearly ten years before the box office explosion of "Tai囧".

Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Shen Teng, and Wu Jing are all very old. Before they came out, they were far inferior to their contemporary Sidan Shuangbing...

This is very abnormal!
