Chapter 1018 "The Case of Jiang Yuan Hui" (34)

In fact, Ma Huateng in "Riding the Wind and Waves" is Chi Guoguo's reference to Li Ka-shing in "Brothers in Trouble"...

The core of the two movies is also the same: it is actually a story of reconciliation between a father and his son. The son despises me. By chance, the son travels back to my youth. The two brothers go on adventures in middle school together. In the end, the son understands his father.

From this perspective, it is indeed a ‘reference’…

"I wanted to set the story in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The camera looks cloudy and rainy, but it also has a yellowish green color..."

Chen Kexin was noncommittal and asked the question she was most concerned about: "Why do you want to make a movie like this?"

"Last year, I looked through the "Set Diary" I wrote when I was with the team, and mentioned "Riding the Wind and Waves". I felt really good about it, so I was ready to do it."

"...Who are you going to find as an actor?"

"There are a lot of actors in their twenties to choose from... I'm more worried about the heroine."

"What happened to the heroine?"

"You have to feel like a small town girl..." At this point, Shen Xudong pointed at Reba: "Today's young actresses have too much urban flavor..."

Chen Kexin thought about it for a moment, and then asked: "How about Ni Ni?"

"...If you personally guide me, of course there will be no problem..."

"You don't want to be a director?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I also have a monster movie in preparation..."

Chen Kexin scratched her head: "Then I'll think about it again..."

…

After this topic ended, Chen Kexin suddenly asked: "Film has never been a particularly profitable industry, and it is not easy to get back the money. I am really curious, why are you so successful every time?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "First of all, you have to study the audience's preferences and make the story interesting, logically clear, rhythmic, and beautiful. Not only the director can understand it, but also ordinary audiences can understand it..."

"Secondly, for commercial films, especially those with a cost of over 100 million, don't think about including private goods. The directors I choose are basically like this. The first rule of business is to strictly follow the customer first, not art first. Even if you put yourself first. You want to make money, you want reputation, and you also want to gain a reputation for your moral integrity and art. In this era, what kind of profound and great masterpieces do you expect to produce?"

"And the most important thing is to study policies, study the international situation, keep up with the trends of the times... and read more news by the way!"

"But you can also win a prize!"

"I won awards because I only think about myself...and I have basically stopped making award-winning films in the past few years!"

"But I heard that the screenwriters of "Love" and "Big Buddha" are both you..."

Shen Xudong nodded: "It's me, but I'm too lazy to make a movie like this..."

Chen Kexin sighed, and then talked about "Soy Sauce Garden" - "The Case of the Nanny in the Sauce Garden". Chen Kexin has always wanted to film it, but has never dared to do it...

Including "Waiting"…

The play "Waiting" definitely didn't pass censorship. It's understandable. It's a work that reflects on history and an almost morbid and crazy society...

But some people say that "The Case of Jiang Yuan Huo" cannot pass the trial because the scale is too large...

Various marketing accounts bring rhythm...

It’s really hard to understand this kind of thinking. Why don’t you check the information before writing?

"The Case of the Husband in Jiangyuan Lane" has a prototype, and is known as one of the four most mysterious cases of the Republic of China: In 1944, a shocking case of murder and dismemberment of a husband occurred in Jiangyuan Lane, Shanghai. After the murderer Zhan Zhou brutally killed her husband, The body was also dismembered into 16 pieces. This case of dismemberment shocked the whole of Shanghai.

The reason why Ms. Zhan Zhou was cruel to her husband was because after marriage, in addition to having bad habits such as cheating, gambling, and drug abuse, her husband also committed domestic violence against Ms. Zhan for a long time, which made her intolerable. After the murder, Ms. Zhan Zhou He did not flee but was sitting at home waiting to be arrested, and he truthfully confessed to the police.

This is the first "domestic violence case" that has attracted public attention in modern China. There was no concept of "domestic violence" before. Some people think that Zhan Zhou should be pardoned, while others think that he should be sentenced to death...

A few months after the incident, as Japan surrendered, Chiang Kai-shek issued a nationwide amnesty, and Zhan Zhou's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment: her life was saved.

After Zhan Zhou was released from prison, he had already entered the New China era. According to arrangements, he came to a farm in Dafeng, northern Jiangsu, for labor reform until he regained his freedom after serving his sentence...

By the way, Zhan Zhou later got married again, and her husband was found for her by the organization. Her husband knows everything about her. He doesn't mind her murderous record, he even sympathizes with her.

From then on, Zhan Zhou never returned to Shanghai. He settled in northern Jiangsu and remarried. He lived until the 1990s and enjoyed his old age.

What's wrong?

It can be completely compared to the old and new times, and you can even create it with reference to "The White-Haired Girl"...

Where is the scale?

The reason why Chen Kexin has not been filming is mainly because she is worried about losing money-the audience is small and the box office is low.

"This type of big-budget art film has come to an end. This kind of movie with a box office of hundreds of millions has no significant growth in box office, but the cost doubles every year."

What Chen Kexin means is that he predicts that "The Case of Jiang Yuan Hui" will have a box office of up to 200 million, but he wants to have a full lineup...

It has become at least 150 million!

Counting on the market, the probability of getting your money back is zero...

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said: "It's okay, I can let PPTV produce it and show it in theaters for three days. If the box office is not good, go directly to PPTV..."

"Then...thank you!"

"It's okay, PPTV needs a lot of exciting movies..." Shen Xudong added: "Chen Hao is the heroine, and the rest are up to you..."

Chen Kexin originally wanted to object, but when she heard the name, she nodded: "Chen Hao? I have seen her in "Dear", and her acting skills are outstanding!"

"Well, she is currently in a semi-retired state. In the second half of the year, she will probably go to the Chinese Opera to be a teacher..."

Chen Kexin was surprised: "Huh? Be a teacher? She doesn't act anymore?"

"She said that it's hard to find a role that you are passionate about. "The Case of Murdering Husband in Jiang Yuan Nong" should be regarded as the last movie before retirement!"

"That's such a pity..." Chen Kexin asked again: "Then do you know a suitable actor?"

"Zhang Jiayi, Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Songwen are all good...Yu Hewei is the best. Zhang Yimou and I both think that if there is a role that we are unsure about, we should go to him...give him the script, and don't worry about the rest..."

Chen Kexin was surprised: "Really?"

"Well... it's not He Wei's fault when it comes to trouble. That's what several directors in our company often say when communicating internally!"

…

In the hotel, Reba’s long-awaited art exchange did not come. Shen Xudong sat on the sofa, drinking tea and reading books...

The name of the book is "Lotus Tower with Auspicious Patterns"...

This book is very interesting. It is not a story of a heroic boy's counterattack, but a story of a person trying to survive after going through hell.

The protagonist Li Lianhua, formerly known as Li Xiangyi...

Everyone loves and believes in Li Xiangyi, but at the most critical moment, both friends and lovers betrayed him.

Li Xiangyi spent three years recuperating from his injuries, and also spent three years hating everyone. Finally, he finally figured out that instead of returning to the Sigu Sect and taking revenge on the people he once loved as the master of the Sect, it would be better to live. Enjoy every day for the rest of your life.

Flowers will bloom again one day, people will no longer be young, there is no need to grow rich, peace and happiness are gods.

This story is exactly the opposite of "Nirvana in Fire"...

Well, Xudong is accumulating strength. After all, too much energy was injected into the art exchange last night.

Then Reba came over with two pajamas: "Brother, do you think I look better in this one or this one?"

Shen Xudong raised his head...
