At first, I just wanted to make money

Looking around, Han Shanping said: "The air here is indeed fresher... I heard that you transplanted all the trees here?"

"Um…"

Shen Xudong glanced at the crape myrtle tree behind him: "... These crape myrtle trees cost more than 20 yuan..."

"You are really willing!"

"It's just my hobby. If you spend some money, just spend some money..."

"Also...you don't play favorites either!"

"I'm not interested in these..."

The two chatted for a while, and Han Shanping finally got to the point: "Do you know "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"?"

"...I've heard a little bit...Liu Changle intends to shoot a documentary..."

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", known as "one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation in China", was once cut into two pieces by fire in the early Qing Dynasty, and the first half was renamed "Remaining Mountains". The second half is called "Wuyong Shijuan" and is now in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.

It is the wish of people from all walks of life on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to display this famous painting handed down from generation to generation.

After more than a year of mediation, Liu Changle, then chairman of the board of directors of Phoenix Satellite TV, finally brokered the completion of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" on June 2011, 6.

While promoting good things, Liu Changle wanted to find someone to make a documentary to record the twists and turns and difficulties of this merger.Among the participating companies at that time, in addition to China Film Group, there was also a company called "Page Taihe Ubiquitous Culture Media", whose boss was Sun Jianjun.

Sun Jianjun is a well-known figure in the photography field. During his stay in the United States, many photographic works were included in the "World Photography Yearbook".

After returning to China in 1993, he established a joint venture with BJ Film Studio "Paige Global Film and Television Culture Company". In addition to producing TV commercials, he also planned and produced a large-scale documentary "Republic Diplomatic Records" and so on.

However, after continuous discussions, the investors felt that using a commercial film approach might reach a larger audience.As a result, the original documentary "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" became a commercial blockbuster project "Tianji·Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

It's the one directed by Sun Jianjun.

China Film Group is the organizer...

Shen Xudong knows it all too well - "Residence in the Fuchun Mountains", if a bad movie is the lowest evaluation of a movie, then "Residence in the Fuchun Mountains" changes this law, because worse than bad movies are shit movies !
Andy Lau starred in…

It is said that even Yang Lijuan couldn't stand this movie!

By the way, Tan Songyun also starred - one of the Twelve Witch Killers...

Pulling back, Han Shanping sighed and talked about the situation of the movie...

The film crew successively invited Korean directors, American directors and screenwriters, but they all left due to disagreements with director Sun Jianjun, and finally even the styling design also left the group...

"What's the difference?"

"He has always emphasized that he wants to make Chinese-style blockbusters, rather than Hollywood copycats made at a cost ten times lower than Hollywood... He thinks that audiences just want something new, dazzling, ups and downs, four countries and five places, heaven and earth ..."

Shen Xudong was inexplicable: "What do you mean?"

"The crew traveled across Dubai, Taipei, Tokyo, Milan, Hangzhou and other places to shoot scenes... I will give you an example. As long as it is a scene in the West Lake, the dance of "Impression of the West Lake" must be used as the background every time to pursue an ultimate sense of excitement..."

"Surge?"

"Yes... Sun Jianjun's exact words!"

Shen Xudong suppressed a smile: "So, is there any problem?"

Han Shanping sighed: "I saw the rough cut, and there was no plot at all. It was just a patchwork of scenes!"

"How is it possible...after all, this movie is called "Dwelling in the Fuchuan Mountains", and the main plot must be about treasure hunting..."

"There is no main line. The origin of the story is "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", but Sun Jianjun said that it was made up of soy sauce."

"Then...why is the movie called "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"?"

"…It was called this name from the beginning!"

Shen Xudong was speechless—is this riding a horse to make a movie?

"...So, you want me to take over distribution?"

"No," Han Shanping shook his head, and talked about Sun Jianjun and his Paigetaihe background...

There must be a background. You must know that "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" dominated the Dragon Boat Festival, and the 3D version of "Jurassic Park" and "Fast and Furious 6" debuted.

As a result, as soon as he started working, "Fast and Furious 6" moved back one month, and "Jurassic" rolled directly to August, and it was publicized...

Of course, Warner + Legendary Pictures' "Man of Steel" was added to the original "Fast 6" schedule, but for "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", Superman is far from the horror of racing, not to mention the cooperation between Legendary and China Film. "Man of Steel" can be regarded as half of China Film's own, and it can't be too close.

How can two Hollywood blockbusters move their schedules without any background?

It is estimated that he was also from the compound.

Well, as soon as Han Shanping said it, Shen Xudong knew it...

Since it's not taking over the distribution... so what's the matter?

Shen Xudong didn't bother to guess, and asked directly: "Han Dong, what do you want me to do?"

"...Can you talk to him, from the perspective of the plot, at least smooth out the movie..."

"I don't even know him, where can I talk to him?"

"Then can you make up a few more scenes... His movie has no plot at all... This movie is a key project of China Film Group next year, and you invested 8000 million for us. If there is really no other way, I wouldn't say that..."

Shen Xudong thought about it for a while...

To be honest, he was also very curious about how "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" would be so rotten...

So, he asked, "...is there a script?"

"No…"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment: "...No script?"

Are you kidding me?
Shoot an egg without a script?

"More than a dozen screenwriters were scolded by Sun Jianjun..."

"...Didn't you say that the cost was more than [-] million? No... you guys dare to shoot without a script? Then there is no shooting schedule or anything like that?"

"...Oh!" Han Shanping sighed...

"Han Dong, I have to have a script for filming. Without a script, I don't even have a main plot. How can I shoot?"

Han Shanping smiled wryly: "I'm just a dead horse as a living horse doctor. In the past few days, I have looked for Brother Kai, Ning Hao, and even Xiaogang, and they are not willing to accept this mess!"

"...Since you know it's a mess, why don't you withdraw your investment?"

"The movie is done...and I have a good relationship with him..."

"Just good?"

Han Shanping waved his hand and changed the subject: "Are you familiar with Hollywood?"

"…good."

"Then is the Hollywood movie you invest in global copyright sharing, or only Chinese copyright?"

“…worldwide copyright…”

"China Film also wants to invest in a few movies... The boss of Legendary Pictures approached us some time ago..." After a pause, Han Shanping explained: "China Film's production capabilities are too weak and it does not have a leading advantage in the country. Someone suggested that we invest in Hollywood... What do you think? look?"

China Film Group really isn't good at making big plays...

But they have one of the most obvious advantages: the distribution of imported films!
The original time and space, China Film invested in "The Seventh Son", "Fast and Furious 7"...

These two films have achieved great success in China!
Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "China Film is the leader of the domestic film and television industry, I personally do not recommend investing in Hollywood..."

I'm really convinced...

I won’t say anything anymore, I’ll update it tomorrow...
