Shen Xudong is very busy.

I have to go to the racecourse every day to see my red rabbit, go fishing when I have free time in the afternoon, write scripts and review projects in the evening...

I also have to find time to guide young actresses on their artistic path.

There is no way, the artistic level of young actresses is really too low and they are in urgent need of guidance.

There are too many and it’s simply too busy to handle.

As the saying goes, fire is passed down from generation to generation. As a senior, you must have this sense of responsibility!

As a veteran who has been in the industry for nearly ten years, Xudong has a strong moral character and a noble character.

Of course I am willing to take on this responsibility!

So, how can Shen Xudong have time to play word games with others?

Fight directly!

As for Yu Dong’s mentality, it’s easy to understand.

It's out of balance!

Chinese film stakeholders, due to various external reasons, have enjoyed returns that exceed their capabilities and contributions, and mistakenly believe that they have earned them through their own efforts.

If you don't know how it came about, then you will lose it when it returns to normal, and your mentality will naturally become unbalanced.

The film industry is actually an industry that relies heavily on the people for food. However, the vested interests of Chinese films are also one of the industries that are most out of touch with and the most contemptuous of the people!

The screenwriter of "Northern and South" said, "This is my life, my atmosphere"...

I don’t feel at all that the reason for being complained about is because of poor writing, but I feel that the audience is too troublesome!

Ugly men in costumes have become a hot topic in the entertainment industry. The producer of "Jun Jiuling" publicly dissed the audience, "The audience likes the image of fair and tender boys with thin eyebrows and big eyes, but this image is not consistent with the masculinity of the character!"

In fact, there is a category of domestic film works that serve the powerful. As long as they prove themselves useful, the powerful think they are valuable, regardless of the flood outside the palace.

Do you dare to give your opinion?

Ban directly!

It’s already pretty good, at least I didn’t give you a section of applauding US military prisoners to show appreciation for the US military’s behavior of respecting the lives of soldiers...

From all angles, this type of movie does meet the needs of all parties, except of course the audience...

Ahem...

After posting on Weibo, Shen Xudong continued to chat with Han Yan about "The Thieves".

Han Yan asked the question he was most concerned about: "Has the script been reviewed?"

"Um…"

Shen Xudong was not surprised by his question. The routine of movies like "The Band of Thieves" is that the operator behind the scenes wants to do a big thing. Generally speaking, big things are usually illegal. Once they are legal, you will not be able to pursue them. If I rush, it won’t be exciting!

If according to the review, evil prevails over good, "The Thieves" will not be allowed to pass the review.

Even if it passes the review, you still have to add a subtitle or something at the end...

For example, "She Disappeared" has the subtitle "Shen Man was detained by the police for provoking quarrels and provoking trouble, illegally invading other people's residences, illegal detention, etc..."

So the villain of "The Thieves" must be more hateful...

Only when the villains gain a foothold can the decent actions be forgiven.

In addition, the story must take place in Hong Kong, Macau and Tokyo!

It can’t happen in the mainland anyway…

Now let’s talk about visual effects. According to Shen Xudong’s point of view: “This story is too simple, so we must make the rhythm of the movie super fast. Whether it is the lens, scene changes or language, the audience cannot be distracted in the slightest because of the magic. It’s just changing tricks quickly to overwhelm your thinking.”

Han Yan nodded: "Indeed, in the second half of the script, the cool high-IQ crime slowly reveals the features of a typical commercial film - pursuit, speeding, robbery... In the last half hour, it is reasonable to say that it is the moment of "reversal" , and indeed began to reverse course, preparing to reveal the big boss behind the scenes - but after the confession was revealed, it was not far from what was imagined, and it was still a bit far-fetched..."

"I can't think of a better way to write this script...at least it's complete!"

Han Yan said 'hmm', he understood what Shen Xudong meant by complete - the information revealed in the script was quite fair and equitable.

For example, there are too many plots that hint at the identity of the big boss: the magician who drowned 20 years ago, the name on the box at the end of the garbage tunnel...

Therefore, this is a pass in terms of suspense - generally bad movies will not bother to do this. The rhythm of bad movies is usually: tell you 8% of the facts in the first 80 minutes of the movie, and suddenly tell you the rest in the last 20 minutes 80%, and the remaining 12% is that the director himself can't figure out what's going on, and he thinks he's super awesome and makes a "Did I scare you!" expression. Generally, this kind of movie lasts about 110 minutes, and at the end There are also 10 minutes left for the hero and heroine to express their emotions...

Han Yan continued: "I always feel a bit inconsistent!"

"Feeling of dissonance?"

"Yes, the four selected magicians are too arrogant. They don't have the charisma that I think a high-quality magician should have. Although they uphold justice, they also have private ambitions. And although the whole story is very good and very... It’s grand, but its foundation lies in the hands of a mastermind who has been stared at by the eye of vengeance for 18 years. This is not a story of pure justice – this is just a “magic show” that uses magic to make others become victims of magic!”

Shen Xudong thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Well, because the movie violated a taboo of traditional mystery novels - "the murderer is the police officer responsible for investigating the case."

"…Can that be changed?"

"Change it..." Shen Xudong stood up: "Go to the screenwriter's studio and talk about the character design again... Now that we have discovered the problem, of course we must solve it!"

"…Will that delay preparations?"

"How difficult can it be to rewrite a script? It can't be finished in a week? It won't be delayed..."

Han Yan nodded, but did not turn around and leave. Shen Xudong asked him: "What? Is something wrong?"

"...I bought the copyright of the Japanese manga "Gambling Apocalypse" and want to adapt it..."

"Just discuss this with Chen Xi. Show it to me after the script is completed..."

"Do you agree?"

"If you like it, of course I agree!"

…

Shen Xudong is not a professional manager. When he makes movies, he rarely lists box office, commercial development, and profitability evaluation as the most important projects...

Of course, there are also people. You like Ning Hao, Han Yan, including Su Lun, Yin Ruoxin, including Guo Fan, Lu Yang and others come to you with projects. Even if there is a high probability of losing money, he will give money and resources!

What is this called?

This is called respect!

The Chinese film market is not short of money, at least for the next five years. What it is short of is talent, professional talent.

Movies are a content industry, and the essence of content is creativity and intuition. What is most needed for this kind of thing is people who know the industry.

It has never been calculated by big data.

Therefore, talent is very important!

Of course, the main project cannot be too outrageous. "Gambling Apocalypse" is actually "Animal World".

This movie was well made, but it was a pity that Li Yifeng was chosen as the protagonist - if you want to take advantage of Xiao Xianrou's star power, the lower limit is guaranteed, but at the same time the upper limit is also low, because the fan base is limited after all, and even if they are two or three Watching it is often just to support your idol, rather than really feeling how good the movie is.

What?

"Animal World" Li Yifeng performed well...

so what?

After acting in a bunch of bad movies, and then accidentally making a decent movie, the market has to pay for it?

Why?

Then the bad movies he acted in before received high box office that was not in line with the market, should they be refunded to the audience?

This is called the compensation effect of the market!

The solution is very simple, just change the actor, change it to someone who is capable and not so fresh...

…

Shen Xudong publicly dissed Yu Dong on Weibo. How did Yu Dong respond?

Naturally, I took the opportunity to promote "Hedong Lion Roar 2"...

I also specially thank Shen Xudong for helping to promote...

Thanks Der!

"Anti-Drug" was originally scheduled to be released on August 3rd, "Wolong" on August 15th, and "Hedong Lion Roar 2" on August 10th...
Chapter completed!
