Chapter 181 Who Is Interested in "Sword Rain"? (1 4)

Of course, Shen Xudong did not directly say...

He is not a fool. If someone asks you, you will dig out your heart and lungs?

What if they are just being polite?

Besides, what if...Director Chen remembers the story and kicks you away?

Defenses can not do without!

In fact, in action movies, as long as you know the routine, the rest is fighting...

The plot of "Taken" is too simple. It's nothing more than a retired boss returning to the world for his family...

The plot of "The Legend of Evil" is also simple. The police and gangsters cooperate to kill the serial killer...

If you know this routine, you can just find a few screenwriters to write it.

Therefore, before becoming a reputable person in the circle, Shen Xudong would not be wrong to remain vigilant...

Chen Musheng saw Shen Xudong thinking deeply and smiled: "I was just asking casually..."

"Well, let's talk again when "Hold the Call" is released!"

"good!"

…

Zhuang Liqi sent Chen Musheng away, returned to the room, glanced at Shen Xudong, and then said with a smile: ""Dragon Babu" has a good reputation!"

"...That's because the role was chosen well!"

"The script is adapted well!"

"Thanks…"

How can the script be adapted?

Or because of the casting!

This is Shen Xudong’s view, and in fact it is also Zhuang Liqi’s view…

Is there a reason why there is no production team?

Zhang Jizhong's team is very serious in producing Jin Yong dramas.

In fact, the current entertainment industry is more professional than the art circle, and those who are engaged in art.

Unlike later generations, which were purely for the purpose of making money - the new version of "Tianlong", the version produced by Xinli Media, was designed to complete the bet from the beginning, including "The Deer and the Cauldron", which was a performance match signed between Xinli Media and China Literature Group in 2018 Items that are independent of each other before and after the gambling agreement.

Xinli is launching projects like crazy under its performance promise. Which projects come quickly and have a natural audience?

A remake of the Jin Yong series. It has the story and the basis of the original work, so it’s an easy choice.

The project was set up in a hurry and the casting was very casual.

But I still wonder, how can every casting choice be so different from the original work?

Zhuang Liqi looked at him again and asked, "I heard that this "Hold the Call" was also passed on to Mr. Wu through Chen Hao?"

"…Yes,"

Shen Xudong nodded: "I had an idea after watching "Mobile Phone". I originally wanted to send it to Teacher Zhang Guoli, but I felt that the heroine, Senior Chen Hao, could also play the role, so I sent it to Senior Senior Chen Hao!"

"I feel like you care about Chen Hao very much!"

"...It's not that she cares. The main thing is that the projects she likes will be fulfilled as much as possible..."

Zhuang Liqi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it..."

"What's wrong?" Shen Xudong looked at him without knowing why, his face full of innocence...

"It's okay." Zhuang Liqi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked in a moment: "You just said Zhang Guoli...does he also know about this project?"

"...it hasn't been sent to him yet..."

"The project "Party A and Party B 2" was the script written by you?"

"Hmm...it's called "Sweet Dreams One-Day Tour"..."

Shen Xudong had no interest in taking the initiative to chat. Basically, Zhuang Liqi asked and he would answer...

After meeting Chen Musheng, his mission was almost completed!

It's not that he is ungrateful, it's just that he doesn't have much friendship with Zhuang Liqi, including Mr. Wu...

Moreover, he is going back to his hometown early tomorrow morning, and now he wants to go back and pack his luggage...

Until Zhuang Liqi mentioned "Sword Rain" in "Supplementary Records"...

"Costume movies are very popular now. Do you have any idea of ​​making "Sword Rain" into a movie?"

"...I don't care if I say this!"

…

"Sword Rain", also known as "Murder Case Caused by a Jβ"...

In fact, this movie has a box office of 60 million, which is already very good - the setting of face swapping, double revenge, and the murderer falling in love with the victim is not new.

It is essentially a Hong Kong-style retro martial arts film, not a drama.

Let's put it this way, the whole movie is for the scene in the final stage where Zhang Renfeng sharpens his sword to fight back, pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, and the diaosi counterattacks...

At that time, there were a lot of Shaw Brothers movies and dramas of the same type.

Many people complained about it and felt that it was underestimated. In fact, the plot, special effects, fighting, and fighting skills of "Tongtian Empire" at the same time were not weaker than those of "Sword Rain". Coupled with Xu Ke's reputation and Huayi's distribution power , with Andy Lau’s appeal, it’s normal for him to win “Sword Rain”.

If you don’t watch Liu Dehua, why don’t you watch Zheng Yusheng? Who knows who he is?

The reason why Shen Xudong remembers it is mainly because he still remembers two plots, one is forcing the king to sharpen his sword, and the other is you are not incapable, you are not.

So, I just wrote it, but he rounded it up a little. For example, the Blackstone Organization is actually the emperor's black glove. Otherwise, killing the chief minister of the dynasty is too nonsense...

In addition, after the emperor died, the Blackstone Organization was almost wiped out by the new emperor, leaving only a few protagonists...

As for Rama's body, the previous emperor wanted it to restore his youth...

Chakravartin wanted to get the body of Rama. In addition to restoring his youth, he also wanted to complete his body...

Yes, it is like that!

As for whether you want to adapt it into a movie?

Nonsense, I must have thought about it!

Otherwise, why write this?

However, if this thing is to be adapted into a martial arts film, the director team must be experienced and the distribution company must be strong, otherwise, it will definitely not be effective.

So, Zhuang Liqi asked who he wanted to be the director, and Shen Xudong blurted out: "Of course Xu Ke!"

"...Xu Ke...he is not easy to invite..."

Zhuang Liqi frowned…

"Let me just say..."

Even if you can invite him, Shen Xudong doesn't think Xu Ke is willing to shoot...

Indeed, Xu Ke is struggling to transform at this stage. "Seven Swordsmen Down the Mountain" suffered a loss of blood, and then tinkered with "The Iron Triangle", "Searching in the Deep Sea", "Women Are Not Bad"...

They all suck...

Especially "Deep Sea" has hit a new low in word-of-mouth...

By the way, Enlight Media was really in decline in those years, with Xu Ke's "Searching in the Deep", Du Qifeng's "Butterfly Flying", Liu Zhenwei's "Out of the Water", Zhuang Wenqiang, Mak Siu-fai's "The Search", Xu Xiaoming's "Win the Bid"...

They were all works that failed miserably at the box office...

Xu Ke kept struggling until 2009, and finally returned to martial arts and filmed "The Empire of Heaven". This is when his recovery was completed!

Zhuang Liqi said: "Let me help you pay attention...there are quite a few Hong Kong directors who go north to make films, and some of them are good at martial arts!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "...Well, thank you Uncle Zhuang..."

"...Are you going to the set of "Sword" after the Chinese New Year?"

"Yes, participate in the casting..."

"Casting is still very important..." Zhuang Liqi shared his casting experience as a producer.

Shen Xudong originally thought that he just wanted to brag, but it was helpful to listen carefully. He said, "Don't look for good-looking actresses when it comes to beauties. This is a simple and crude thinking in casting." There are many kinds of beauty. Taking "A Dream of Red Mansions" as an example, Lin Daiyu's beauty is fairy-like, Xue Baochai's beauty is bright and charming, Shi Xiangyun's beauty is playful and lively... In addition, a stunning beauty must have a sense of charm. What is charm? The charm of a woman is the taste of ecstasy for a man...'

After listening to what he said for a long time, Shen Xudong asked: "What if the actor is popular and she has ideas for the role, but she is just not suitable? What should we do at this time?"

Zhuang Liqi smiled: "...Of course I'll give it to her."

"Is it okay if it's not appropriate?"

"Change it to the right one!"
