Chapter 628 Rejection
The plot of "Happy Death Day 2" is different from the original version...
Mainly because of the original box office and low reputation!
Many people haven't seen it, so let me explain briefly. The core plot of "Happy Death Day 2" is to choose to stay in the time and space after traveling to accompany your mother, or to return to the original time and space to reunite with your boyfriend...
The heroine no longer has to worry about her life!
The sense of plot substitution caused by the boring choices of who should be saved by the mother and her boyfriend when they fall into the water is obviously not comparable to the fear of facing murder after each loop in the previous game...
Shen Xudong asked Jason Blum to find several screenwriters to rewrite a version:
According to the setting of this film, the heroine does not have the ability to reset her body state over time and reset it cleanly. The protagonist's body becomes weaker due to the accumulation of invisible damage...
So even though everything seemed to be successful in the end, the next day, the damage left by N being killed multiple times was enough to cause her to faint in the hospital!
The hidden wounds will still exist in the body...
After the ending, the girl will have very serious health risks...
Her mother died young because she had a similar experience.
This is a kind of superpower that can travel through time and space through blood and is passed down from generation to generation.
The only way to activate this ability is through unexpected death!
"Happy Death Day 2" revolves around this ability and damage...
So... the sequel is actually a family drama, so how could it still appear in Zhao Liying?
Of course, Zhao Liying did not know this. She did not receive an invitation from "Happy Death Day 2"
Shen Xudong took over the topic: "The sequel of "Happy Death Day 2" has indeed been announced, but the theme has changed from campus to family... Therefore, Xiao Zhao's role will no longer exist..."
"Let me tell you, no matter how much Hollywood advertises political correctness and diversity, it is still essentially North American market-centric. Most Asians still play roles with strong racial overtones that cater to racial stereotypes, such as immigrants, Chinese restaurant owners, etc. Role…"
"Asians in Hollywood are basically walk-ons and sideline drummers. There are no real big movie stars or leading roles in blockbusters - except for Jackie Chan, there is no one!"
"The so-called A-level production is not only investment, but also A-level behind-the-scenes, A-level distribution, and A-level publicity..."
"Mainstream Hollywood productions must be films that promote American natives. How come there is no room for Chinese faces? Ask someone else!"
"The box office of "Happy Death Day"...I think 10 million would be pretty good!"
“…Of course it’s RMB!”
…
Well, Xiao Zhao took the initiative to contact Shen Xudong according to Chen Xi's suggestion, which meant sending several text messages...
Very embarrassing and ineffective!
The reason is simple, Shen Xudong is too lazy to reply to text messages.
He didn't even reply to Liu Yifei's text message. Xiao Zhao... really doesn't have any weight!
On the one hand, it doesn't carry much weight, but on the other hand... Shen Xudong was not interested in answering the questions she asked - she actually asked him about his views on the demise of the Ming Dynasty?
Sister, do you want to hook up, or do you want him to write a paper?
The Ming Dynasty fell…
He can write tens of thousands of words of discussion with less words. How do you ask him to discuss his views?
Then... Xiao Zhao thought Shen Xudong was not interested in her, so he stopped asking questions!
Therefore, she was quite surprised when Shen Xudong asked her to have dinner with her. She had made enough mental preparations and thought of everything that might happen. Although she was still a novice, she had already entered the circle and had a general understanding of the situation of actresses. .
In a sentence: if an actor wants to be popular, he must have financial backers!
Why does the sponsor support you?
You have to be his person to be the safest...
So how can you become his person?
Self-explanatory!
But after arriving at the scene, I discovered that Zhang Hanyun was there...not only Zhang Hanyun, but also Chen Xi...
Okay, just a normal dinner party.
"The first time I met Xiao Zhao, I knew that this girl was not suitable for singing. Her tune was so off-kilter... Just like that, she still looked confident, 'I just discovered the difference between dreams and reality'..."
"Yes, but she is suitable to be an actress, and Han Yun is also quite suitable, because the film and television industry will definitely develop in great strides. Actors who enter the film and television industry in the future are either rich or noble, but they lack the atmosphere of the countryside... They do not eat the world. Fireworks, the most important thing in movies and TV dramas is the smoke."
"Either rich or noble?"
"Judging from the potential of the domestic market, actors' remuneration will rise to a staggering level. It is very possible for top actors to receive over a million remuneration for a single episode... Then those second-generation stars will definitely join the force." , some wealthy people will also arrange for their children to join the circle..."
"Over a million?"
"The entertainment market is very special. It is a typical "head" market of the pyramid, because consumers want to choose the "best" and cultural products are very easy to copy. If you can watch a play by a first-class actor, you will not watch a second-rate one. , Therefore, the salary of top actors will definitely expand... In three years at most, the salary of top actors will rise to one million..."
There is no need to discuss this matter. Shen Xudong quickly changed the subject: "Both of you are suitable for sweet dramas, which are sweet romantic dramas. Didn't our company collect several sweet dramas from Jinjiang? Can you help select a few? Department, let them play the leading roles... Remember, the male protagonist must be handsome..."
"If you two have any favorite novels, you can also recommend them!"
Zhao Liying thought for a while, then took out her mobile phone: ""Chef Fang Carrying a Pot in the Flower Room"...I was watching it recently..."
"..."Chef Fang Carrying a Pot in the Flower Room"...what is it about?"
"The female cook married the notorious young prefect Shen Yong, and a series of ridiculous stories unfolded..."
Before Chen Xi could ask again, Shen Xudong had already made up his mind: "Okay, let's start the project immediately..."
"...Why don't you take a look?"
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "What is there to see? After listening to the synopsis of this story, you can tell that it belongs to the kind of costume light comedy... There is an audience for this kind of subject matter, where is Han Yun?"
Zhang Hanyun was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "I haven't read the novel..."
"Look more..."
Zhao Liying sold Zhang Hanyun in just one sentence: "She is a fan of your books. She is reading "Perfect World" recently..."
Tsk tsk, another fan...
"Then when I'm free, I'll help you choose one..."
Fans are definitely treated differently...
…
After "Happy Death Day" was released, or to be precise, after "Lust, Caution" was released, Shen Xudong did not publish any articles on "Lust, Caution" and refused to be interviewed...
Too much is too little!
Li Min is the light of the Chinese people...
Oscar for Best Director!
The producers of "Lust, Caution": Yindu Organization and Shanghai Film...
They are all state-owned studios!
By the way, when Shen Xudong criticized "Lust, Caution", no one from the two studios came forward to speak out, which shows that they also had a guilty conscience and knew that there was something wrong with their ideology!
Otherwise, you can definitely follow the behavior of "The Rescue" where you just cover your mouth and don't allow bad reviews to leak out!
——The "Rescue" road show came to Peking University. A Peking University student questioned the professionalism of the film during the road show. He received an arrogant response and even pressure from the film studio, and was forced to write a "letter of apology."
It’s so awesome, the Beiyang warlords didn’t even make Peking University surrender, but the producers of this movie did it!
Coming back, although Shen Xudong was quiet, there were a lot of discussions...
And they are basically aimed at Li Min!
Therefore, several investors wanted to arrange a meeting between Shen Xudong and Li Min so that they could discuss "Lust, Caution" in person...
Shen Xudong refused directly and replied directly: "I am just an audience member and have no obligation to understand the director. The director's original idea has nothing to do with me..."
Chapter completed!
