Chapter 615 "Plaything" steals the spotlight

Don't get me wrong, Shen Xudong really just wants to pass on some experience to Da Tiantian...

In a sense, Da Tiantian can also be regarded as the first generation Shen girl!

Many times, it's really not that Shen Xudong is such a scumbag, but that his young girlfriend's acting skills are too poor and she needs guidance.

Can't even express emotions...

How can such an actress act well?

Shen Xudong has a strong sense of being a master of the circle, so of course he has to teach them.

I naturally have this sense of responsibility that is passed down from generation to generation!

So, don’t call him Shen Xudong, please call him by another name: Teacher Shen!

Oh, in addition to expressing emotions, Shen Xudong also taught her some idioms to deepen her cultural accomplishment...

For example, Yaksha explores the sea, Danfeng rises to the sun, teaches people a handle, etc...

It's all art!

The result was... after a few days of publicity, Da Tiantian simply checked into his room openly.

It made Shen Xudong a little worried...

I'm afraid that Boss Chen will hear some rumors...

Fortunately, the media paid no attention to Shen Xudong and Da Tiantian. Actors came to the stage at every promotional stop after that. In Wuhan, Hu Jun came;

Chengdu station, Chen Daoming attended;

Hangzhou propaganda, Jiang Wen is coming...

The media is busy reporting that "Famous" keeps setting new box office records - it has exceeded 100 million in four days of release. As of October 8, after eight days of release, the cumulative box office has reached 160 million...

It is definitely a work worth over 200 million yuan.

By the way... I also report on the Hong Kong release of "Playthings"...

Well, "Famous" was also released in Hong Kong, but there were not many films scheduled, and the box office was quite average. The box office in the first week of release was only 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and I estimate it to be 3 million Hong Kong dollars at most...

This theme itself is geared towards the mainland, but the box office in Malaysia was 1.9 million, which is quite surprising, beating "The Iron Triangle" of the same period...

Then, "Playthings" released at the Hong Kong Film Market triggered a phenomenon-level craze - Chi Guoguo showed sexual bribery in the industry, and the heroine was Lian Shiya...

The scale is very large. The story is led by an "actress suicide case". The female star who committed suicide was a newcomer actor Zheng Jixi who had just entered the entertainment industry. Before her death, she sent an email to a reporter, revealing that she had suffered The painful experience of coercion and sexual bribery.

The reporter is played by Wu Qimei...

What we are playing is real mapping!

What's wrong, aren't Hong Kong movies free?

You can take pictures of anything!

By the way, at the end of the movie, a handsome actor, Pakho Chau, was specially arranged to take a camera and film the process of his artistic exchange with the actresses in the industry...

This section is an Easter egg!

Well, Shen Xudong actually reminded Teacher Chen not to think about repairing the computer. If the hard drive is damaged, just destroy it.

Back to the subject, the movie "Playthings" was not very well shot, and the main theme was a reality, so the plot was very scattered. From a purely movie perspective, it was difficult to pass, but it triggered a phenomenon-level popularity.

It was released in Hong Kong for 6 days and the box office exceeded HK$15 million. After various reports in the mainland, it aroused strong interest from mainland audiences and formed a team to go to Hong Kong to watch the movie...

Hong Kong media have praised "violent" and "sharp"...

…

"Because Hong Kong movies can make some Category III films...larger-scale works...They have proposed making romance films. I have no research on Hong Kong romance films...because no matter how large-scale you are, you can't compare to Japanese and French art. piece!"

"At that time, I watched "The Call List" and "Miss Hong Kong Photos", and then I got an idea. I suggested that I make some movies that follow the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, instead of always making "Uniform", "Rogue", and "Police Beauty". "It was boring, and then they filmed..."Playthings"."

The producer of "Playthings" had Shen Xudong's name on it, and the latter was naturally asked about some things about the movie.

"If you watch "Playthings", you will be very disappointed, because the script of this movie is not ready, it is just a concept, and then production started... Therefore, the movie is actually not very smooth, and the plot and plot twists are relatively blunt. Many of them involve rich people. Some parts are not described in detail...because you can't collect information..."

"So, I'm quite surprised that this box office is still influential... The cost seems to be less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"After director Qiu Litao joined the team, he and the screenwriter took charge of filming, which lasted 17 days... To be honest, we didn't even plan to show it publicly. Isn't it because the box office of "Famous" in Hong Kong is a bit low, so we might as well arrange "Playthings" It was released...it was not released in other theaters at first..."

"Two days after the release, Broadway theaters asked us for copies, so we expanded the scope of the show. Then Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and even South Korea came to buy the rights..."

"This movie... is an unintentional small attempt. I didn't expect the profit to be so huge... It seems that unspoken rules are a topic that every country and region is very concerned about!"

"...No, I never thought it would be released in mainland China from the beginning. The selling points are torture and sex scenes...it doesn't belong to mainstream movies..."

Speaking of this, the media interviewing him then asked: "Then you are not worried?"

"Worried? I'm really scared!"

"Afraid of their revenge?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Retaliation for what? It's been ten years since I returned, is there still a Heise Society?"

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I'm afraid that after "Playthings", a bunch of film and television companies in Hong Kong saw the prospects of this subject, and then swarmed in to shoot, and this subject was played to death. After that, "Dream Showbiz" and "The Love of the Public" what to do?"

Let me go...is this another trilogy?

"I will definitely continue to do it. Many things in the Hong Kong entertainment industry can be filmed, which is much more interesting than listening to the stories... Don't listen to what those people say on stage. The Hong Kong entertainment industry is very clean, very clean... I really don't know Where does their sense of arrogance come from? Before the return, they were just a group of second-class citizens in the colony!"

"...No, I have absolutely no vengeance. I really just think this subject matter is misleading!"

…

Well, Shen Xudong does have a revengeful mentality...

But he really didn't expect that the box office of "Playthings" would be so high and its influence would be so great!

From the very beginning, I just planned to film it to disgust those people...

There are many movies about actresses selling themselves in the history of Hong Kong romantic movies. The above-mentioned "Call Girl" and "Hong Kong Miss Photo" are...

"Call Girl" is also adapted from a real incident - in 1973, the "Silver Chicken Case" shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Many porn stars were summoned by the police for being involved in prostitution, which became a hot news in the city.

Shaw Brothers heard the news and immediately sent the great director Long Gang to put this theme on the screen.

But "Call Girl" was very poor at the box office...not only lost to "Enter the Dragon", but also lost to "72 Tenants"...

Maybe it's because... "Call Girl" is not exciting enough, there are almost no revealing scenes...

But Shen Xudong felt very aggrieved because... what the media reported became "Playthings"...

Obviously "Famous" broke the box office record...
Chapter completed!
