Chapter 158 Kind Reminder (2/4)

After the premiere, Shen Changlin went to the hotel to rest with the creative team.

There is only a short two-hour break, and the creators have to catch a flight to Edinburgh later...

After all, it is also a large first-line ticket holder.

"To be honest, there are not many movies that can surprise me a little bit. "The Master of Hypnotism" is indeed good, but the foreshadowing before it was too deep..."

"When we were discussing it before, we thought about having only one theme of redemption, but the plot of the conspiracy murder and the twist at the end was so amazing that I really couldn't bear to give it up!"

"...Suspense themes are all supported by stories. The way this story is laid out and told is really good!"

Shen Changlin glanced at Chen Zhengdao: "Keep up the good work. I have a good story somewhere. I originally wanted to shoot it, but I never had the time. I can give it to you!"

"What story?"

"It's called "The Tuner"..."

Bald Xu interjected: "'The Tuner'? That French short film?"

"...It's almost the same. The source of inspiration is indeed a short film, but I added several clues, all about the evil of human nature..."

The story of "The Tuner" has too many twists and turns!

Shen Changlin has watched The Original Time and Space at least ten times, and has read hundreds of film reviews and analysis, and can remember almost every detail.

After roughly telling this story, Chen Zhengdao An couldn't help but get excited. Bald Xu was also a little excited, but he quickly calmed down: "Can it pass the trial?"

"I definitely can't pass it, so let's put the background in Thailand!"

"…Chinatown?"

"Yes…"

While they were chatting, Liu Qianqian and Tang Yan came over to join them after finishing the interview: "Director, Teacher Xu..."

I don’t seem to have seen Shen Changlin...

However, Tang Yan was very polite and gave Shen Changlin a friendly smile.

Bald Xu smiled: "Sissi...this promotion depends entirely on you!"

"…no problem."

Sissi sat down and asked casually: "What are we talking about?"

Xu Guangtou said: "Chang Lin just shared an excellent idea... I'm going to let Director Chen direct it..."

“Great idea?”

Chen Zhengdao: "...Have you seen the short film "The Tuner" directed by Olivier Trenet?"

"without…"

Tang Yan rushed to answer: "I have seen it!"

Shen Changlin glanced at Liu Qianqian: "As an actor, you should pay attention to the better short films. "The Tuner", "The Wanderer", and "Head Down Life" are all very famous short films... every year

Nominated for the Oscar for Best Short Film, nominated short films at several major film festivals…”

Liu Qianqian defended herself: "...I'm not a director..."

"Broaden your horizons and understand the structure of the play..." Shen Changlin originally wanted to talk in a long way, but after taking a look at her, he changed his mind: ""The Master of Hypnosis", you did a good job... Although Tang Yan only had a few scenes, she was perfect.

It’s also very good when integrated into the play!”

Tang Yan smiled and said: "It's mainly because Teacher Yu taught me well!"

Liu Qianqian said nothing...

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Baldy Xu smiled and asked Shen Changlin: "Will you go to Shanghai with us to promote?"

"...I won't go. I have to fly to the United States tomorrow and I have something to do."

"What did you do in America last year?"

"I heard that the post-production of "The Meg" has been completed. I went to discuss the release date with them..."

"Didn't you say it would be released in December?"

"...Warner wants to move the schedule to August..."



Warner's first summer release this year was "Edge of Tomorrow," which cost a whopping $178 million to produce, but then failed...

Only $28 million in opening weekend!

Tom Cruise is no longer as brave as he once was.

There are also three movies, "Godzilla", "Brave the Storm" and "Interstellar"...

But for "Godzilla" and "Interstellar", Warner Bros. only participated in the investment, and the main producers are Legendary and Paramount respectively...

Let me focus on "Interstellar". "Interstellar" was originally a project of Steven Spielberg. He was working on the science fiction blockbuster "Robot Apocalypse" and was too busy. Nolan's brother Jonathan Nolan

Lan took over the screenwriting duties, and then Nolan joined...

"Interstellar" itself was discussed between Spielberg and Paramount...

Even if Nolan joins, the production investor will still be Paramount!

It means that Warner can only count on "Brave the Storm"...

That's not possible. Just as "The Meg" has been produced, Warner wants to release it ahead of schedule...

Although "The Meg" is produced by New Line, New Line is owned by Warner Bros.

We must do something during the summer holiday. Otherwise, how can we explain it to shareholders?

There is also a problem. The investment in the fantasy adventure action film "Son of Zeus: Hercules" starring Dwayne Johnson reached the 100 million yuan line, which is a quasi-blockbuster level, but the film only received 70 million US dollars in North America...

There seems to be something wrong with Dwayne Johnson's appeal...

In addition, the new president of Warner was not very harmonious with the original management, which caused chaos in the entire Warner Brothers. Anyway, Shen Changlin received two completely different emails in one day...

Shen Changlin had to go to North America in person to discuss the distribution of "The Meg".



"I noticed that you really don't dare to make expressions on the big screen. Is it because you can't understand the characters or for some other reason?"

"Not natural enough... You are too far away from ordinary people..."

Liu Qianqian didn't reply, so Shen Changlin thought for a while and sent another message: "I heard that you are planning to cooperate with Director Dai Sijie?"

"Yes, it's called "Night Peacock", a four-corner sadomasochism. I'll send you the script..."

"Night Peacock"…

After reading it roughly, the main plot is the story of several encounters between French-Chinese flutist Elsa from Paris to Chengdu, and the emotional entanglements caused by them.

To summarize, it’s a story about having sex with three men because of the loneliness on the journey!

The three men all have the surname Ma, and their relationship is that of father, son, and brother...

It also includes pregnancy, abortion, and the father committing suicide because of guilt...

What is this horse riding all about?

"...Why do you want to film this kind of scene?"

"What is this kind of play?"

Shen Changlin thought about it and sent a message: "Let me tell you a story. I think I saw it in "The Reader". It was told by Cheng Chong himself: When Cheng Chong was struggling to earn a living in Hollywood, her agent treated her badly.

You should be open-minded, don't be afraid of consequences, don't be afraid of filming passionate scenes. Look at Ingrid Bergman. She is not afraid of nudity in Hollywood. She has become a proud national treasure of the Swedish people. You can do it too, I am optimistic about you..."

"What's the meaning?"

"I mean, 'I've searched through all of Ingrid Bergman's works, but I still can't find a movie with nudity and passionate acting.' I like to watch nudity, and I have never regarded it as art."

, once the naked body becomes art, it is the most obscene!"

"...I told the director that this play can have passion scenes, but there will be no nudity scenes!"

Shen Changlin continued to advise: "Dai Sijie is a very sexy director, a typical bourgeois director. He moans and groans throughout the whole story, and is introspective. His works only have the deep darkness of the special era and the self-proclaimed beauty.

There has never been any reflection on the content. I particularly hate this director..."

"This is a Sino-French co-production, and director Dai Sijie was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film..."

"...Whatever you want, I have something else to do, let's talk next time!"
