At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 860 Self-Recommended Director (14)

In fact, Shen Xudong already knows what it feels like to travel thousands of miles a day!

bad...

It's too crowded and can't be used at all!

Back on the seat, Zhong Lifang asked him: "Didn't you say you want to buy a private jet?"

"I've pre-ordered the G450...should be available by the end of the year!"

"…How much?"

"It should be less than 3000 million US dollars... I bought it with the share of last year's "Super Body"..."

"Then...do you want Jiahe to buy one?"

"It's useless to buy that thing. When I get mine, I can just rent it to Jiahe!"

"…rent?"

Shen Xudong took it for granted: "That's right, the annual rent is 3000 million RMB, you can rent it for ten years..."

"Then... isn't it the plane we bought for you?"

"Is it not possible? Under my leadership, Golden Harvest's market value has never been less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and now it is 330 billion Hong Kong dollars... What's wrong with me taking advantage?"

Just as Zhong Lifang was about to speak, Fan Xiaopang came back...

Shen Xudong put on his headphones and continued watching "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"...

Fan Xiaopang glanced at his screen, and then asked Zhong Lifang: "...Why is he looking at Zhou Xingchi again?"

"He likes Zhou Xingchi..."

"That's not enough to watch every time I fly!"

"... never get tired of watching it!"

"That's true…"

Speaking of this, Fan Xiaopang suddenly thought of something: "Hey, do you have any plans to cooperate with Stephen Chow?"

Zhong Lifang shook her head: "Zhou Xingchi is too greedy, and there are no scripts suitable for him now!"

"Isn't Xudong an Oscar-level screenwriter?"

Zhong Lifang glanced at Shen Xudong: "... then you can ask him!"

Fan Xiaopang shook Shen Xudong, who took off his earphones with a displeased face: "I said the place is too small..."

Fan Xiaopang hurriedly interrupted him: "It's not about this..."

"What's that?"

"Do you have plans to cooperate with Stephen Chow?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, I'm going to ask him to make another movie with Wu Mengda..."

"Really?"

Now Zhong Lifang was surprised.

Shen Xudong nodded: "It's true, I've already thought up the script!"

"Is it a comedy?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "They are both so old, they still act in comedies?"

"What type is that?"

"The script is still being created, and you will know when the time comes..."

……

"Pain and Glory", the 21st work of the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, has been in the film industry for more than [-] years, and has won many awards at the three major European film festivals, leaving behind many immortal classics in film history.

It has won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Director. There are a lot of masterpieces!

This guy can represent European movies - transsexuality, homosexuality, violence, religion, prostitution, sexual assault, chaos... These sensitive and large-scale content have already been filmed by him.

"Pain and Glory" is an autobiographical movie. It tells the story of a well-known and famous film director who suffered successive misfortunes in his later years. The way to finally reconcile with life is a movie...

This situation is very suitable for Zhou Xingchi!
However, Stephen Chow does not love movies, he only loves money...

Therefore, this story cannot be used, and Zhou Xingchi's "Pain and Glory" is not complete without Wu Mengda!

Let's start with a misdiagnosis... Zhou Xingchi found out that he was suffering from cancer, and found a group of old friends, and then Wu Mengda also came...

Hong Kong movies about those years!

Semi-documentary format…

In fact, Shen Xudong was wondering whether to fight "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" during the Spring Festival...

It's not that I'm afraid of losing!
With the memory of later generations, he has a hundred ways to get "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"...

But it’s a bit unbearable…

After all, it is the production of Zhou Xingchi who has been silent for three years...

Therefore, Shen Xudong thought for a while and asked Zhong Lifang: "Have you found the mainland publisher of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?"

"Should still be looking for..."

"Then let's take over the distribution!"

"I heard that he is closer to Hua Yi..."

"So what? We can guarantee the box office of "Conquering the Devil" will exceed one billion... Can Huayi guarantee it?"

Zhong Lifang was surprised: "Can it really exceed one billion?"

"Zhou Xingchi's appeal is quite high... With good publicity and marketing, there is no problem!"

"Well, I will go to Hong Kong to meet Zhou Xingchi..."

"If he doesn't want to, you can say 3 million to buy out the mainland distribution of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", but he has to cooperate with the publicity!"

"…no problem!"

……

There is nothing to say about the trip to the United States. Most of the characters in "The Martian" have already been settled.

In fact, the choice of the China Space Administration in "The Martian" also follows the original work - manned spaceflight is only available in the United States, China, and Russia.In the past, the movies were all about Russia, but now it is normal to change the taste and choose China.

Do you want to set Korean Air?
In addition, when Clark wrote "2001: A Space Odyssey" many years ago, the setting in it was that China's space power was already not weaker than that of the United States and the Soviet Union...

As for choosing Fan Xiaopang...

In fact, the audition is just a formality, Nima, she provided one-third of the funds, and only asked to play a supporting actress, and no fool would refuse to agree!
The role arrangement of "The Martian" is really politically correct: the female astronaut colonel, the Indian pilot, the Chinese chief engineer, the young black physicist, and the Chinese space agency to save white men...

Oh, no, it’s a little worse – lack of LGBT and Muslims…

To sum it up, Shen Xudong stayed in the United States for half a month. Apart from "The Martian", he also discussed with Wen Ziren about the movie universe of "The Conjuring".

In fact, "Insidious" is similar to "The Conjuring", except that the story of "Insidious" mainly revolves around the psychic Elise's exorcism, while most of the events in "The Conjuring" are remakes of real events, revolving around Warren. The couple unfolds…

From Shen Xudong's personal perspective, the several "Conjuring Souls" are completely different stories, incoherent, and they are all connected by the conjuring couple. He prefers the "Latent" series. The storyline is very clever, from the son to the father...

But the "Conjuring" movie universe is more profitable!
Especially "Annabelle", which cost $600 million and grossed $2.6 million at the global box office!

"Annabelle 2" went even further at the box office, with $3.08 million.

It is impossible for Shen Xudong to give up on this movie universe, at least not now - he, Wen Ziren and Jason Blum have set up a studio, which is responsible for the investment and production of the "Conjuring" universe.

……

On June 6th, Shen Xudong returned to China, and before he had time to look through the detailed box office report of "Thug in a Suit", Wen Muye knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Shen, I want to direct "Dear"!"

"...you know about the project?"

"Well, Sister Chen Hao chatted with me...I'm very interested!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "I don't have any objections... You go back and write the script first, the script is finished, show it to me... Shooting will start before December, is there any problem?"

"…no problem!"

"As for the actors... just look at the arrangement yourself!"

Shen Xudong originally wanted to designate...

Forget it, this subject matter is destined to be insulated from those born after 85...

"Can I find Huang Bo?"

"...You can decide for yourself!"
