Chapter 207 Regret! (34)
"There's Someone Under the Bed"...
It sounds like a bad movie!
There happens to be a domestic horror film with this name, but Shen Xudong is talking about "Door Lock"...
It’s the story of a woman who lives alone and is pestered by a perverted man…
A bit creepy.
Oh, he was talking about the Korean version, not Bai Baihe's version - I really can't figure out why Bai Baihe became a scumbag's money magnet? No matter her appearance or figure, she is far from the most beautiful woman in the world. Why are the men around her, all of them wretched and perverted, all masters of lock picking, thinking about her day and night, obsessed with her, even breaking the law and committing crimes, and harassing her at all costs...
After hearing this, Brother Hu asked: "...There is no ghost in this!"
"Yes, if there is a ghost, we can't take pictures!"
When Shen Xudong talked about this idea, he didn't deliberately avoid it - it's just a horror thriller anyway!
However, Cai Yinong thought for a moment and shook his head directly: "...The cost is too high, we can't shoot it."
That's true, it's an apartment, a bank, and there's a chase scene...
Even if you find a less famous actor, you can't get it without 5 million!
"Then we can only shoot some stories that happen in one scene..."
Shen Xudong talked about the "Desolate Village" series...
He himself couldn't remember whether it was "Desolate Village Inn" or "Desolate Village Apartment", or "Desolate Village Horror"...
Anyway, the story is pretty much the same. The male protagonist was stuck in his career for some reasons and needed some inspiration, so he found the deserted village on the Internet and had to go and see it...
Then all kinds of messy elements were thrown in...
Love, abnormal love, everything is messy, and in the end the man realizes that he has been drugged, it is all an illusion...
The movie ends…
What Shen Xudong said was messy, but the plot was probably smoothed out.
It's just...a bit of a mess, not at all like a script that Shen Xudong could come up with!
"With restrictions on ghosts and gods and crimes, domestic horror films can only go in the direction of bad films. In fact, it is very simple to scare people. There is no plot, just close-ups of ferocious smiles, dim lights, and simple scenes of broken glass. The sound effects, switching between one person every 10 seconds on average, can also give people a scary feeling... If you shoot a few more scenes of women changing clothes, taking a shower, etc., someone will definitely pay for it..."
"...This is also called a movie?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "This is called making money... In fact, this kind of thing requires hiring a few has-been Hong Kong stars. There is also a pseudo-documentary model that imitates "Blair Witch" at a lower cost..."
Cai Yinong immediately asked: "Why are you so fake?"
"Go and search for famous haunted houses on the Internet, and then use a camera to record the hero's seven days living there..."
This is how "B Area No. 32" came about...
Just that magical movie that cost 70,000 yuan and finally earned 16 million box office...
…
Cai Yinong left the dinner table with excitement...
I guess she will really put it into practice.
Make money, not shabby...
Others can make bad domestic movies and make money, so why can’t Cai Yinong and her Tang Ren?
Of course, these must be settled by the theaters first...
Putting aside these things for the time being, Liu Yifei was completely confused after hearing Shen Xudong's ideas for a horror film...
This... is too bad, and it's predictably bad!
Shen Xudong didn't take it seriously: "There are basically two types of horror movies, those with ghosts and those without ghosts. Let's talk about ghosts first. Think about it, why do ghosts in horror movies kill people?
It is also divided into two categories, one is killing without reason, purely to scare the audience;
But the other type is that ghosts kill people for a reason. The reasons why ghosts kill people are full of tragedy, either they die miserably or in vain. These ghosts are unable to resist the powerful or villains during their lives, and only after death will they accumulate resentment and return to the world for revenge. , or become a lonely ghost to harm other people.
This angle is very good for discussing reality and destiny...it can also produce classics, but the problem is that these types of books are directly banned for you! Not allowed to be photographed! "
"Then... the audience has a need to watch horror movies... Regardless of whether they are bad or not, if a certain scene scares you, it is successful! If there is no ghost, just create a ghost, and explain the hallucination afterwards. Category…"
Shen Xudong explained casually.
"Then why not let there be ghosts?"
"China is too big, the social structure is too complex, and the cultural differences are huge. The conservative censorship system can basically ensure that there will be no big cultural troubles. You must know that the power of culture and ideas is the most terrifying. Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes. the power of!"
Brother Hu was thoughtful, Liu Yifei was still a little angry, Shen Xudong was too lazy to say anything, took two bites of food, stood up and left.
…
The filming of "Legend of Sword" is actually almost done, and the remaining scenes for about a week were basically shot in the studio.
To be honest, Tang Ren's production team is indeed very professional and not very wasteful...
The word "lang" here refers to wasting money...
The finances are completely disclosed to investors, and the prices for props, costumes, equipment rentals, and even special effects are clearly marked!
No wonder the original time and space of 15 million can make "Sword of Immortality"...
Comparatively, "The Best in the World" is still a bit of a money-spinner!
For the sword move special effects in Shushan, we directly went to Wankuan Special Effects Company, the same company that produced the sword move special effects in "The Legend of Shushan". Of course, TV series don't need to be so high-end, a set of 200,000 templates is enough!
Quite like that!
Shen Xudong got along well with the special effects director Wang Meng. Wang Meng was the special effects director of Tang Ren Company and was responsible for the special effects of "Sword of Immortality". He liked "Zhu Xian" very much and suggested that Cai Yinong buy the adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian", but Shen Xudong has never been willing to do so. Sell…
It's not that he's waiting for appreciation or anything like that, but mainly that he wants to wait...
What are you waiting for?
Waiting for the trend to pass - Shangfa issued a "Notice on Prohibiting the Broadcast of Computer and Online Game Programs"...
CCTV5 broadcast "E-Sports World" in prime time slot on April 4, 2003. The program was broadcast for a year, and then it was banned after being notified.
By the way, when it was banned, the program’s ratings were among the top five on CCTV.
"Sword of Immortal" is a game adaptation. To some extent, it is equivalent to promoting the game. "Zhu Xian" has also developed a game...
Even if the adaptation rights are sold now, it is estimated that no company will be willing to spend huge sums of money to create it!
So... forget it!
At least I typed it out word by word...
By the way, after the notice was issued, Cai Yinong was very anxious, and then went to Shanghai Film Studio with the film, and then came back in a good mood...
I guess the matter is resolved.
…
After returning from Jinyun, Aunt Liu had not visited Shen Xudong. They met and exchanged greetings on weekdays - not often.
Then, one after another news appeared, about the Zhang Xie beating incident, Shen Xudong was ranked as the 43rd spokesperson;
I underestimated him, but I didn’t expect him to reach this level...
Of course, this thing would at most shock Aunt Liu, who is well-informed.
Then she learned from Liu Wenhui about the behind-the-scenes production and cast of "Witness" - starring Chen Daoming, Liang Jiahui, Gong Li...
We need someone to play the daughter...
Isn’t this tailor-made for Sissi?
Liu Wenhui also told her, 'This lineup was recommended by Shen Xudong...'
Shen Xudong, he has so much energy?
No, if I had known he had so much energy, I should have agreed to the private shoot...
What should we do now
