In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 164 Shock (44)

Chapter 164 Shock...(44)

This meal finalized the project for two movies, "The Lost Orphan" and "A Day Trip to Sweet Dreams."

Feng Xiaogang is responsible for directing, Hanshanping's China Film Group is responsible for investment and distribution, and Zhang Guoli stars in two leading roles...

By the way, his and Feng Xiaogang's companies are also responsible for part of the funds.

Shen Xudong is in charge of the script...

"I will send the script to Uncle Zhang in three days..."

"Have you ever written a movie script?"

"I have written it, I have written it before..." At this point, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "I forgot to mention... I told Uncle Chen about the story of "The Lost Orphan", and he said he would help me find one. director…"

"Which Uncle Chen?"

"Teacher Chen Daoming..."

Zhang Guoli waved his hand: "That's okay, I just need to tell him..."

Han Shanping interjected: "You wrote "Outstanding Citizen" that Director Chen is filming, right?"

"Um…"

"That script is good, and we at China Film are responsible for distributing it!"

Feng Xiaogang was quite surprised: "You have such a good relationship with Director Chen?"

"Well, Uncle Chen takes good care of me...he found the investors and director for the "Outstanding Citizen" project..."

"'Distinguished Citizen'?"

"It's a satirical comedy..."

Shen Xudong gave an overview of the plot of "Outstanding Citizen".

"Who did the director find?"

Han Shanping replied: "Guan bluff..."

Feng Xiaogang was worried: "Can he handle such a sophisticated plot?"

"Lao Chen is in charge of the overall situation, no problem~"

"What a pity... If I saw this book first, I would definitely want it!" At this point, Feng Xiaogang glared at Shen Xudong: "Why don't you show it to me?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment...

I didn’t even know you at that time, where could I give you the script?

But I still explained: "I wrote this script for Teacher Chen Daoming. When I was filming "The Best in the World", Teacher Chen suggested that I write a movie script... I created "Outstanding Citizen" based on him..."

"That's right, you should talk to Director Chen about this matter. Why are you angry with your child?"

Feng Xiaogang sighed: "No... I just feel sorry for it. This book is full of satire. I like books like this!"

After chatting about "Outstanding Citizens" for a while, we parted...

No one talked about the remuneration, because in everyone's opinion, a movie with a theme like "Orphan" is destined to be quite miserable at the box office, even if the director is Feng Xiaogang...

As for the remuneration for "Good Dream Day Trip", it goes without saying that it is destined to be a hit. Feng Xiaogang is very generous to his screenwriter. After all, he debuted with Wang Shuo...

Naturally, I know the importance of the script - so does the original time and space. "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director and gave an acceptance speech... In fact, when it comes to rewards based on merit, the first person to thank was Liu Zhenyun...

Shen Xudong was actually a little surprised - Brother Huayi was not here...

Aren't Feng Xiaogang and Hua Yi bound together?

Why are the Wang brothers not mentioned in either movie?

Shen Xudong asked Zhang Guoli in a low voice, and the latter happily talked about Feng Xiaogang's contract with Huayi expiring and he came out to form a company with him...

So, it’s really luck!

The book "Good Dream One-Day Tour" was not actually Shen Xudong's long-planned plan...

Even though he brought it up at the right time, he never thought that Feng Xiaogang would be interested...

But Zhang Guoli and Han Shanping thought they were causing trouble...

The reason why Zhang Guoli was so excited - it was Zhang Guoli who had just persuaded Feng Xiaogang to film "One Day Tour". The reason was quite simple. A new company was about to open.

He has already thought of the slogan - the sequel to "Party A and Party B"...

What could be a safer choice than filming a sequel?

Investors must also be optimistic!

As for "Lost Orphan"...

In fact, those who work in movies have some kind of humanistic quality. To put it nicely, it is called sentiment!

Feng Xiaogang is actually a very typical person. Like many men born in the 1950s, he has a natural sense of social responsibility and mission. Therefore, he has an idealistic side that pursues dreams and never gives up, and he also has a double-dealing side. The utilitarian side of following the crowd and taking advantage of others.

But he is still relatively clear-headed about movies, at least at this stage. He once said: In fact, when you make a movie, you need to meet the needs of different people, the needs of the government; the needs of the audience; the needs of investors; and the rest. The director will be satisfied as long as it satisfies him a little bit. As for me, if it doesn’t satisfy him, forget it.

It's good. When I think of him now, the first thing that comes to mind is his works, not his mouth.

I just don’t know if the two projects can be completed...

It shouldn't be a big problem, after all, China Film Group agreed and intervened.

It was almost 11 o'clock when we returned to the dormitory, the lights were still on, and the three of us were working...

"Lotus Lantern" and "The Condor", two scripts!

"Is the entertainment over?"

Seeing Shen Xudong come in, Zhao Linhai said hello.

"Well~ I finished recording the show at around 7 o'clock..."

Liao Gaoxiang answered: "Then why are you struggling until now? Cao Xiwen is looking for you?"

"Cao Xiwen, don't talk nonsense about him. If someone has a boyfriend, it won't sound good if it gets spread!"

Shen Xudong's tone was very serious...

Well, if people don’t know about it, it’s best if they don’t do it themselves. Some rumors about his artistic experience with Cao Xiwen spread out...

Shen Xudong doesn't care. On the one hand, he is thick-skinned. On the other hand, rumors are spreading that he is very strong and has amazing durability and recovery efficiency...

However, Cao Xiwen was in a terrible situation. Her reputation plummeted. Many women secretly said that she was a slut, a slut, etc...

Han Han wrote a sentence in "Three Gates", which is quite reasonable: "In school, the value of a boy who is kissed will greatly increase, while the value of a girl who is kissed will be greatly reduced"...

Even art school!

Today's social atmosphere has not advanced to the point where praising a woman for having a good life is a compliment. Even in later generations, this sentence has a certain derogatory meaning - it shows that you have experienced a lot.

Therefore, whenever Shen Xudong hears someone gossiping, he will definitely reprimand him severely...

"That's right, second brother, stop talking like this..." Zhao Linhai scolded him, turned around and asked Shen Xudong: "Then how did you get to this point?"

"Oh, I went to meet Zhang Guoli and... Feng Xiaogang. They were interested in "The Lost Orphan" from "The Lost Relics" and wanted to adapt it into a movie..."

"who?"

"..."Collection of Relics", my new book..." Shen Xudong took out a book from his desk: "I have written essays and several short stories. "The Lost Orphan" is one of them, which tells the story of a man riding a motorcycle. The story of a nation searching for its lost son...haven’t you read it?”

Zhao Linhai took the book without reading it and asked again: "...No, I'm asking who you went to see?"

Shen Xudong replied: "Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang..."

"Feng Xiaogang...is that Feng Xiaogang?"

"Yes, that's him!"

Zhao Linhai endured the shock: "...are you going to cooperate with Feng Xiaogang?"

After a long while, Zhao Xin then asked: "...who is the screenwriter?"

"Of course it's me. I wrote it, and I'm studying drama, so the screenwriter must be me!"

The three of them looked at each other and then stopped talking...

"…What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm just feeling sad... there's a great person in our dormitory!"
