Chapter 100 Be a Director (4/4)

Wen Ruian himself said: My work has produced 28 film and television dramas, and none of them have been successful.

I don’t know if it has increased in recent years. But I have filmed 28 movies, which is not a small number by any means.

But it’s just not popular!

From a market perspective, if Shen Changlin wanted to do traditional martial arts, his first choice would always be Jin Yong's novels!

Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhang Wuji, Yang Guo, Xiao Longnu, everyone in the Chinese world knows them!

It is much easier to take advantage of other people's profits. Although there is a high probability of being scolded, there is no need to consider the issue of market acceptance. You can get traffic and save a lot of promotion fees.

Wen Rui'an's martial arts works are not bad in themselves, and some of them have been filmed sporadically, but the mainland market is basically indifferent to them now. If you want to film them, you have to break open the door of the market. This requires extraordinary strength!

Later, iQiyi and Qishu Youyu prepared to create the "Four Famous Catchers" online drama. They planned 18 works, but only two were produced, so they stopped...

Why stop eating?

Because the audience doesn’t buy it!

The first film "The Dream" was okay, with more than 20 million in revenue, but the second film "Man-Eating Dream World" was less than 10 million...

Look at Wang Jing again, he tinkered with "Eternal Dragon Sword" and made a lot of money!

Back to the subject, the media at the scene wanted to ask about the Golden Horse, but Shen Changlin asked: "Is there anything wrong with me advocating that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family?"

"occasion…"

"What happened to the occasion? Don't talk about the Golden Horse Awards, it's the Oscars. If someone mentions it, I will say it too!"

Then some media asked him what he thought of the Qingdao International Film Festival.

"What?"

"Yesterday, Wanda held the launch ceremony of the Oriental Film City in Qingdao, inviting 60 domestic and foreign celebrities such as Hollywood stars Leonardo and Nicole Kidman to take part in the event, and plans to create a Qingdao Film Festival. Do you think it is feasible?"

Oh, Lao Wang has brought glory to the country!

Although it is a waste of money, it is indeed extraordinary to be able to move Leonardo and Nicole Kidman.

Why wasn't Shen Changlin invited?

Lao Wang invited Hollywood stars and various production companies. He wanted to build the film capital into a world-class photography base, hold international film festivals, and build Wanda's influence in Hollywood.

The purpose is not at home at all!

How to evaluate?

“It’s great to have money!”

“Do you think a film festival can be done?”

"...It's a bit difficult. Even the BJ International Film Festival took three years to apply. I don't think Qingdao or Wanda have this influence."



The premiere of "The Big Four 2" was a lively event!

Shen Changlin was a little surprised - these people really tried their best to be on the hot search, and Liu Qianqian actually started pole dancing!

And he danced with Deng Chao...

Deng Chao is on top, and he doesn't think it's strange to do anything. The key is Liu Qianqian...

It seems that gentleness and elegance are just her surface appearance, but she may be a very wild girl behind the scenes!

American pie?

And then…

The atmosphere changes suddenly!

Chen Jia Shang's Mandarin is terrible, and when reporters ask him about the plot of his movie, he always avoids talking about it.

He just responded to the reporter's question by saying, "It has more storytelling than the previous one, and it is a new attempt at martial arts and magic."

I'm so speechless!

And there was no movie shown at the scene, just a trailer...

Thanks to Deng Chao, a reporter asked him what he thought of Liu Qianqian. He said, "She originally struck me as a 'book girl'. She reads a lot of books, which makes me feel particularly uneducated every time I pass by. So." A thick stack of books was placed beside her wheelchair, which had not been changed from the first to the third photo.'

Liu Qianqian was speechless...

But it’s still quite boring and I can’t find any relevant information!



After the premiere, Shen Changlin approached Deng Chao: "Why didn't you go to promote "Running Man" this time?"

"I went there last time...the main director team has other arrangements!"

"I heard that you want to be a director?"

Deng Chao nodded: "Well, Mr. Wang pestered me and insisted on letting me take pictures..."

Mr. Wang, Wang Changtian…

Guangguang's early strategy is to encourage actors to cross over and become directors!

It would be a pity for an actor not to become a director. He has fame, money, resources, topics, and a very stable base...

"A good actor who becomes a director usually isn't too bad! Come on!" Shen Changlin encouraged, and then asked: "Is this a collaboration project with Yu Baimei?"

"Yes, "The Breakup Master"!"

"The Breakup Master"…

If the actor of Master Tang was replaced by Wu Xiubo, the effect would be much better.

After all, it is impossible to imagine that the character Yang Xiaomi would be crazy about Liang Chao.

There is no other meaning, it just has no sense of CP!

But...it's probably unlikely, because "The Breakup Master" was originally a drama, and Liang Chao was the actor who played Master Tang!

This drama is written and directed by Yu Baimei, a 2010 work, created by the original cast of "Cuihua, Sauerkraut"...

"Do you know this play?"

"I know a little bit... I haven't seen it live..."

"Is the director interested?"

"...I'd better forget it..."

Deng Chao then asked: "Then the director is willing to be my producer?"

Shen Changlin scratched his head: "No, I have too many projects on hand... I met Jackie Chan at the Golden Horse Awards a few days ago and I plan to make a movie with him."

"What are we talking about?"

Liu Qianqian came over.

"Nothing...what you wore today looks great!"

Liu Qianqian wore a strapless dress today, which is quite sexy...

Hearing this, she turned around and asked, "Is it the clothes that look better, or do I look better?"

"...They all look good... Hey, Brother Chao, what's the plot of "The Four Famous Catchers 2"?"

Deng Chao was a little surprised by the close relationship between Liu Qianqian and Shen Changlin. He recovered and smiled bitterly: "I don't know..."

"have no idea?"

"...because the second and third scenes were filmed together, but I feel like they are the same story, so I don't know what will happen to the second one."

"Tsk tsk..."

Even the actors dislike it.

Probably yellow!

Liu Qianqian changed the subject: "Why are you here?"

"Lao Wang asked me to support the show...he didn't come?"

Only then did Shen Changlin notice that Wang Changtian didn't come over.

"Maybe...too busy!"

Nonsense, no matter how busy you are, you should still show your face at the premiere of a movie produced and distributed by your own company!

I guess there is a conflict between Lao Wang and Chen Jia Shang!

It’s normal. After all, director Chen Jiashang’s team charges 40 million for one movie. “Famous Catchers 2 and 3” are shot together. Does it count as one movie or two movies?

I guess there's something going on behind the scenes...

The actor should have heard of these things, but it was difficult to go into detail. Deng Chao changed the subject: "You just said you wanted to cooperate with Jackie Chan?"

"...it hasn't been decided yet, Jackie Chan is very busy..."

Liu Qianqian was surprised: "You want to cooperate with Jackie Chan?"

"I met him at the Golden Horse Awards that day and chatted for a while...but he hasn't responded recently..."

"Brother Jackie Chan is also very busy..."

"I can only comfort myself this way." After talking about this, Shen Changlin was about to leave, and Liu Qianqian suddenly asked: "Did you drive here?"

"I walked here...of course I drove here!"

"I just want to go back to the hotel, can you give me a ride..."

Shen Changlin looked at Deng Chao, who consciously took out his mobile phone: "Hey...I..." While talking, he left...
