Chapter 130 Make A Movie Script 2/4
Chapter 130 Make a movie script (24)
After the dinner, the four of them went back to the hotel.
Tang Yan got into Zhuang Liqi's car, while Shen Xudong got into Chen Hao's car.
Sitting in the back row, the senior sister deliberately sat next to him...
Maybe you think it’s more exciting in front of the driver?
If you really want to find excitement, you should sit on your lap and lift up your skirt. The rest is about carrying a knife without an umbrella on a rainy night...
"How many drinks have you had?"
"...Two or three drinks, what's the matter?"
"Then don't come tonight..."
"Um."
Shen Xudong was not planning to go at all!
"By the way," Chen Hao raised his voice: "Why do I feel that you are not very interested in Hong Kong directors?"
"No, my idol is Tsui Hark!"
"Xu Ke... I guess it's unlikely. He seems to be very close to Ci Wen... Are you busy working on "Seven Swords" recently?"
"Yes..." After thinking for a while, Shen Xudong told the truth: "I think the creative model of most Hong Kong directors has lagged behind!"
"behind?"
"Apart from "Infernal Affairs", are there any other refreshing Hong Kong films in recent years?"
"...Maybe they can have explosive creativity when they go north?"
"Who knows!"
Shen Xudong was noncommittal about this.
There is no memory of the Hong Kong director going north. After all, Shen Xudong was born in the 2000s. His memories are more of mainland directors such as Guo Fan, Rao Xiaozhi, Lu Yang, Ning Hao, Wen Muye...
I guess the performance of the current batch of Hong Kong directors after moving north is not very good...
…
Shen Xudong doesn't care whether the signing of the CEPA cooperation agreement will have any impact on the economy, and it's not his turn to care.
But he knew it would still have an impact on the crew, because Director Chen finished filming three days in advance...
I had no choice but to accept the role of starring in "Infernal Affairs 3"...
Today's Hong Kong movies are in decline...
How to do it?
If you need a work to stimulate you, "Infernal Affairs" is the most suitable!
So, "Infernal Affairs 3" was released...
The two places work together...
Director Chen was requested by the crew by name!
In order to accommodate Director Chen's schedule, "The Best in the World" could only focus on filming his scenes...
Director Chen, actually I don’t have any ideas...
He read the script of "Infernal Affairs 3: Ultimate Infernal Affairs", or to be precise, the character biographies, and thought it was okay...
In character biographies, the role of Shen Cheng is not dispensable!
Shen Cheng purchased 100 million worth of arms and narcotics through Han Chen, hoping that everyone would get the stolen goods when they were delivered, and he wanted to wipe out the Han Chen Group in one fell swoop!
As a result, Han Chen did not trust Shen Cheng and asked Chen Yongren to be the scapegoat. He was shot in the left hand by Shen Cheng at the receiving dock, and the Han Chen Group escaped.
The person responsible for this matter was Shen Cheng. In order to lure Han Chen into taking the bait, he used Hong Kong Security Department Yang Jinrong to arrest Wanwan arms dealer, so that Han Chen lost the arms channel of Wanwan. Then Shen Cheng pretended to be a mainland gangster to lure Han Chen into taking the bait...
Of course, we all know that the male protagonist of "Infernal Affairs 3" is Liu Jianming, and the perspective of the whole story becomes that Liu Jianming wants to clear himself and looks for undercover agents...
In this way, Shen Cheng’s story line has nothing to do with the main plot!
Then his role becomes dispensable, Shen Cheng—just call me, Shadow!
So embarrassed that I dug my toes into the ground...
As a result, you can't figure out the purpose of Shen Cheng's character.
Then, he was ridiculed...
Classic evaluation: "Infernal Affairs 3", Chen Daoming, Li Ming can be called a sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick. Chen Daoming is always posing, but Lai Ming's eyes are never focused...
It was impossible for Shen Xudong to say anything.
What does it have to do with him?
However, Director Chen warned Shen Xudong before leaving: "Don't always write TV series, write a few movie scripts when you have time!"
…
Well, this is not the first time that Shen Xudong has been persuaded to write a movie script.
In fact, he himself has some ideas. With the signing of the CEPA cooperation agreement, the number of co-production films will definitely increase, and the film market will definitely usher in a period of prosperity!
But...this boom period will have to wait at least five years.
According to memory, the next five years will be the era of blockbusters!
Because theaters feel that audiences only want to watch blockbusters...
After "The Promise" was released, although "If Love" was not withdrawn, there was almost no room for "If Love" in the screening hall...
If you want to make a movie a big hit at this stage, two conditions are essential. First, it must be a blockbuster, and second... find China Film!
Chen Kexin's original words, "China Film can take a movie that has failed at the box office in Hong Kong and other places around the world and make it so profitable in mainland China. Everyone thinks that China Film's power is invincible!"
Oh, he is talking about "The Promise"...
"The Promise" not only has a good box office in the Mainland, but everyone around the world who has screened "The Promise" thinks it is rubbish!
Not only that, the effect of "The Promise" not only proves China Film's dominance in the mainland market, but also single-handedly shattered the overseas box office record of large-scale productions!
Since then, it has been difficult to sell major mainland productions...
There's nothing wrong with saying that a young poetry reciter is awesome, right?
But... with Shen Xudong's current qualifications, it is unlikely that he will manage a blockbuster movie. Even if he can write a more sophisticated script for "Red Cliff", no one will invest. Even if someone does invest, the investors will appoint a more powerful one. The director of…
Everything written by Lu Wei can be directly rejected by Wu Yusen.
Lu Wei said in an interview that ""Red Cliff" is a serious drama, and Lin Chiling, who plays Xiao Qiao, only has about two or three scenes..."
Then, it was released, and Xiao Qiao became the absolute heroine!
Cao Cao attacked Chibi because of Xiao Qiao. In the lower part, Xiao Qiao even appeared in Cao Cao's camp alone and drank tea with Cao Cao to delay time - the west wind turned into the east wind...
Bringing it back, with Shen Xudong’s qualifications, he can currently only operate products worth less than 5 million. No, it should be low-cost production of less than 3 million!
So...what should we do?
The subject matter must be comedy...
TV movie?
Have you ever written about Escort Wu?
Master Wu is Wu Zheng. His masterpieces are all TV movies on Movie Channel, such as "Lu Xiaofeng Series", "The Wire Series", "The World of Escorts" series, and, yes, "New Detective Alliance"...
Yes, he wrote them all!
Let's copy it... No, let's write a comedy...
Write a comedy suitable for Director Chen...
After all, Shen Xudong needs to monetize the script he writes. If the script is chosen by Director Chen and he takes the lead, it will definitely be successfully put into production...
However, Director Chen’s personal image is not suitable for conventional comedy!
What role is suitable for Director Chen?
The emperor and intellectuals...
Just as I was thinking about it, I bumped into Gao Yuanyuan...
Shen Xudong quickly greeted: "Sister Yuanyuan!" "...Screenwriter Shen!"
Da Meiyuan is a little embarrassed...
After the kiss between the two was secretly photographed, there was no follow-up. Even though Shen Xudong often came to the set, Da Meiyuan avoided seeing her...
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, I finished the project tonight and am going back to the hotel to tidy up..."
Shen Xudong answered smoothly: "...Just in time, I'll go back too, shall we come together?"
"No need..." Da Meiyuan quickly refused: "...the car will be here later!"
Chapter completed!
