Chapter 159 "Dialogue" (34)
"Dialogue" is an interview program on CCTV.
Each episode will invite some celebrities...
It’s a relatively high-end talk show!
Shen Xudong was a little surprised that such a program actually sent him an invitation?
He is not Han Han, and he has not aroused phenomenal popularity...
Not a popular figure, right?
However, Shen Haobo had already picked it up for him, and Shen Xudong himself agreed.
After all, I sell books!
In the car, Shen Xudong asked doubtfully: "The key is, I don't think there is anything worth discussing about myself!"
""Dragon" is a hit. You are one of the screenwriters, and you have taken over the scriptwriting role of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". You are only 20 years old this year, a sophomore student of Chinese Drama... Do you still think you are ordinary?"
"...I have some talent, but there are so many talented people in China. Isn't this something worth discussing?"
Shen Haobo smiled: "You must know that martial arts novels were called a scourge in the past, but you have become famous with martial arts, and you have a lot of fans and fans... everyone is very curious about you!"
"Martial arts novels... okay."
Shen Xudong probably understood...
For a period of time, martial arts novels were indeed popular among people, and they were ranked alongside romance novels and were called poisonous weeds by teachers and parents...
It’s true. Jin Yong’s novels and Qiong Yao’s novels were once criticized by famous writers and literary critics in Guangming Daily as “opium and prostitutes”, triggering a great discussion in literature.
At that time, martial arts novels represented by Jin Yong and romance novels represented by Qiong Yao became a scourge pursued by orthodox education...
Just like a lot of people now lamenting that "online games will destroy a generation"!
"I heard that CCTV is very interested in you... It seems that they were interested in filming your movie "Golden Boughs"?"
"It's not a system. "Dialogue" is a CCTV program. The one I want to cooperate with is CCTV TV Drama Company..."
"I must know you anyway..."
…
The "Dialogue" program was recorded in CCTV's studio.
In the early years, our shows had only a small audience, about fifty or so, and there was no support. They basically signed up on their own...
The same goes for "Conversation"...
The host is Lu Yiming.
Shen Xudong is not a representative of rebellion. He does not need an education expert or other figures, nor does he need to find another positive teaching material...
Played right away.
"Hello, audience friends, welcome to "Dialogue", I am the host Lu Yiming..."
"You may have noticed that we have several books on the podium...
Two volumes of "No. 1 in the World", three volumes of "Zhu Xian", and one called "Collection of Relics"... What about these books? They are all written by the same author, Shen Xudong. Each of his books has sold more than 500,000 copies. ..."Records of Relics" has just been released for a month, so its sales volume has not exceeded 500,000. However, as far as I know, 400,000 copies of the first edition were printed! "
"The editors of our column team have been to bookstores for on-the-spot investigation. Basically, the people who buy his books are high school students and college students..."
"Shen Xudong is already one of the representative writers born in the 1980s. Many people call him, Han Han and Guo Jingming, the three major writers born in the 1980s, but he himself said that his main job is screenwriting!"
"We'd better get to know him through the VCR first!"
Then the VCR played. Shen Xudong saw this VCR for the first time and was surprised to find that his high school teacher appeared on the scene.
They probably just talked about Shen Xudong's high school life and his experience in applying for Chinese drama. By the way, the teacher also appeared...
"The purpose of our Chinese Opera school is actually to cultivate masters. Xudong is talented and has a keen sense of life. This is a necessary condition for becoming a master. Therefore, I forced him to write a drama script. He completed it and it was very good. outstanding…"
Then there is the publisher Shen Haobo: "I decided to publish it after reading the serial version of "The Best in the World". I thought his book was very selling, so I went to Yunnan three times and finally signed it... He was working with the group in Yunnan at the time "Dragon Babu"..."
That's it, the VCR ended in time, Lu Yiming said with a smile: "We are fortunate to invite him to our program, please give Shen Xudong a round of applause!"
…
"Hello Xudong..."
"Hello host!"
Shen Xudong wore a camel coat, black pants, a turtleneck sweater, and a pair of yellow boots...
Again, his aesthetics are online, and he is in public, so of course he has to dress up carefully.
Lu Yiming looked at him and then was a little surprised: "Your hair has always been short?"
"…Yes."
"Why not grow your hair long? I remember Han Han and Guo Jingming both had long hair..."
"I don't know. I've never seen them. I think short hair is easy to wash. When I wash my face every morning, I wash it by the way, and it's easy to dry... I live in a school dormitory, and I can't use a high-power hair dryer. Electrical appliances…”
"...Are you mentally prepared for your appearance on TV?"
"...A little bit, after all, I am a student of the Chinese Opera!"
"How did you think of passing the exam for drama? And it's not an acting class?"
"...I used to think that screenwriters were more powerful. Look at the famous dramas left over from our history, such as the four famous dramas, Guan Hanqing's "The Injustice of Dou E", Wang Shifu's "The Romance of the West Chamber", Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion" and Hong Sheng's "The Peony Pavilion". "The Palace of Eternal Life", you won't remember who played it, but you know who wrote it!"
"What now?"
Shen Xudong smiled: "Now...I know a little bit about the preparation process for film and television dramas. It's different from what I thought..."
"no the same?"
"...No matter what kind of drama series requires money, whoever can bring in the money will be the big shot of the crew..."
"Our film and television production is still in the extensive stage..."
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "It's the same in Hollywood. Money speaks for film and television projects. This is a laissez-faire rule. When Li Lien went to Hollywood to film "Lethal Weapon 4," the entire crew listened to Mel Gibson!"
"how do you know?"
"...I have done programs and researched a lot of information, including Hollywood movies, Hong Kong movies, and European movies..."
"Really?"
"Of course, you, like "Lethal Weapon," relied on Mel Gibson to make it a hit, and it continued until the fifth film... Don't think that Hollywood must be formal, professional, and process-oriented... Hollywood productions are hierarchical, and you, like "Lethal Weapon," It’s just a B-movie…”
"B-movie?"
"It's a very low-budget film...the scale is usually relatively large, with blood and violence...most of Li Lianlian's Hollywood movies are B-level movies...so the box office is not high, but the disc business is booming, for example, "Romeo Deadly" ", the box office was only over 20 million U.S. dollars, but the DVD rental revenue was close to 40 million U.S. dollars... so his salary increased to 10 million U.S. dollars!"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Hmm... So, in those crews, Li Lianlian is a big name. Investors, directors and staff all rely on him to make money..."
Lu Yiming felt that the topic was a bit off-topic. We should talk about "Dragon"...
But in fact, the audience at the scene listened with gusto...
"Let's talk about "Dragon Movie". I heard that Zhang Jizhong called you specifically to invite you to be the screenwriter?"
"Actually, my teacher introduced me... Before, I had a column called "Talk about Jianghu" in "BJ Youth" magazine. I talked a lot about Jin Yong's martial arts, which triggered a lot of discussion ~ My teacher knew that I had my own opinions on Jin Yong's martial arts. Cognition, it just happened that Teacher Zhang Jizhong was looking for a screenwriter, and then he introduced us..."/4/
