Chapter 260 Interested Brother (34)

"New Police Story" actually did pretty well at the box office.

It was close to 20 million in the first three days. According to expectations, it should be more than 50 million no matter what...

Nowadays, public opinion is boasting about "New Police Story" and saying that Daniel Wu is so handsome...

In fact, in 2004, "New Police Story" was not very popular. The plot was a bit too magical - Jackie Chan versus the perverted rich second generation!

There is no logic at all, but you actually take pleasure in killing police officers?

Has the security of Hong Kong, the so-called international center, returned to a feudal society?

The living environment of Hong Kong residents is so bad.

If it hadn't been called "New Police Story", this film would still be passable - Hong Kong films are all over the top and crazy...

But you called New Police Story...

There's not enough logic, and the fighting scenes are just like that, not as good as the first four!

Although Xie Tingfeng is very hardworking, the focus of "Police Story" is still Jackie Chan...

But the distributor is already very satisfied. Bona's Yu Dong said: Hong Kong co-productions have been sluggish in recent years. Jackie Chan's new film is a shot in the arm for the Hong Kong film market. This glory should last 10 years. A throwback to the pre-Once Upon a Time era…

Well, it broke the record of 36 million set by "Infernal Affairs 3"...

There are also media reports about "Jackie Chan's comeback" - the previous "Magic Tuxedo" 16 million, "Shanghai Noon" 3 million...

It is estimated that at this time, no one thought that "Kung Fu" could earn 175 million!

Of course Chen Musheng didn’t expect that…

Jackie Chan himself should be quite satisfied with "New Police Story".

In the original time and space, he did not promote this drama very much. At that time, he was filming "The Shocking Legend", which is also "The Myth"...

This is not the point. The point is that Jackie Chan asked Chen Musheng if he had any new scripts. The latter told the story of "Sanchakou". "Sanchakou" is a movie about the impermanence of fate. The screenwriter is An Xi, who wrote "Glass Bottle" …

Jackie Chan is actually not very satisfied with "Glass Bottle". The box office was too low and the overseas results were also very poor...

Therefore, naturally he had no idea about An Xi's "Sanchakou". The main reason he called was to ask Chen Musheng to direct "Baby Project"...

But Chen Musheng thought that his eldest brother was dissatisfied with him - I asked you what project you had, and you actually pushed back and blocked it?

He quickly said: "I know a screenwriter in Mainland China who is very good... He wrote "Hold the Call" to me!"

"...Is it Shen Xudong?"

"Yes! Brother, have you heard of his name?"

"...I heard about him earlier than you..."Phoenix Screening Room" was about me for three consecutive issues...My wife watched it several times..."

If "The Screening Room" wants to open up, it has to tell celebrity topics. So far, "The King of Comedy", "Legend - Jackie Chan", "The Kung Fu Emperor: Li Lianjie" and "Lamma Island's International Superstar: Chow Yun-fat" ", the four special topics had the highest ratings, especially the issue of "Li Lianjie", which bluntly disclosed the reason why Li Lienjie raised the flag in Hong Kong:

Think about it, Shichahai studied martial arts and became the national martial arts champion for five consecutive years. He visited more than 40 countries and performed for many well-known international figures. He was received by Premier Zhou at the age of 9. Many people will never have the opportunity to do this in their lives. Li Lianlian had all these things before he turned 16!

Do you really think he is a soft persimmon? He wrote a letter of complaint. What evil forces would dare to provoke him?

Back to the topic, Chen Musheng wants to ask Shen Xudong if he has a good script...

Shen Xudong thought about it and then said: "I'm rehearsing a sketch recently... called "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."

"Sketch? Comedy?"

"No, it's a drama set in the Tang Dynasty..."

Shen Xudong told the story of Anxi Army and said by the way: "This is the background of the story. The sketch I wrote is adapted from this story..."

“Can you send me the script?”

"Okay, I already wrote a movie script..."

…

In fact, the 2002 China Theater Academy has produced a lot of talents. Zhang Bo, Yang Shuo, Li Zefeng, etc., including Sun Jian, are all quite famous...

Especially Yang Shuo, with his winking expression, is known as one of the four major oil fields!

In fact, Yang Shuo's face is full of stories, and he is very suitable for playing some bitter and hateful characters, but he always wants to be a domineering president...

As expected of Tang Yan's classmate, the latter is obviously a professional like a royal sister. At a glance, it makes people think of adults' coquettish love affairs, but she has been silly and sweet for ten years.

Neither of the two classmates has accurate self-judgment!

But he is also considered an A-list actor...

Zhang Bo's image is also very prominent, with a righteous face. He has played Sun Shiwan, King of Qin Ying Ji...

Li Zefeng became famous for a while with his role as a scumbag in "Only Thirty". Sun Jian made his debut in "The Boy Who Meets Me". His acting skills were very solid, but he later became less popular...

But there are always scenes being filmed.

By the way, there are also coats of arms, Bai Baihe, Bai Xue...

Shen Xudong and the others have a good relationship with the 02-level acting department. After all, they are in the same class.

We often play ball together and stuff...

But it’s hard to say how good it is…

Therefore, after Shen Xudong made the call, no one asked him who he was. It had to be Zhao Xin, so he asked directly: "Who is calling?"

"Director Chen Musheng... wants to make an appointment with me for a script..."

"Chen Musheng...didn't you write "Hold the Call" for him?"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "...I don't know..."

"So have you written any new scripts recently?"

"I've been busy with "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Ultimate Servant" recently, so I don't have time to write any new scripts..." After a pause, he continued: "I sent him the copy of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."

"Oh," Zhao Xin hummed at first, then was surprised: ""Glory of the Tang Dynasty"?"

"Well...he is very interested. I will send it to him later..."

"Chen Musheng doesn't seem to be good at this genre. He should be good at police and criminal themes!"

"Then I don't care..."

…

Hong Kong directors can’t make historical-themed movies!

There is nothing wrong with this. The typical ones are Li Rengang and Wu Yusen. So what was filmed in "Red Cliff"?

Any mainland practitioner with a professional background, a solid basic education, and a certain amount of historical knowledge will turn on the map cannon mode in their hearts when they see what they are tinkering with, thinking that this thing is simply the work of a historical idiot.

Then I developed a strong desire for self-protection, and I had to shoot something with the same subject matter to prove that the toughness was on our side.

And then…

collapsed!

There are so many lies and truths, cruelty and beauty, but they can't cover up the emptiness in all aspects, the abrupt transition of the plot, and the stiffness of the lines...

We are talking about "The Legend of the Demon Cat"!

It proves that mainland directors are not that good...

In fact, when shooting historical subjects, there is no need to deliberately include personal life. History itself has profound emotions and truth has great power.

But when it comes to some great directors who are uneducated and don't know it, it turns into a mountain of labor, causing the world to fall apart and give birth to a mouse. Just to exaggerate my own little feelings into a shocking secret, it simply cannot bear the weight of the subject matter!

The same goes for Ah Mou. Since you called it "Man Jiang Hong", can you do a little research on the history? What Yue Fei said before his execution was, "Heaven says Zhaozhao!" Heaven says Zhao Zhao! ’ It’s not ‘It’s unnecessary! ’…

So, who can film "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"?

It doesn't matter what Shen Xudong thinks. Anyway, he wrote the plot outline. As long as the script is not changed, it will definitely be a good movie~

Back to the topic, Chen Musheng received the script of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", looked through it, and then immediately sent it to Jackie Chan...

Jackie Chan was decisively interested and asked to meet Shen Xudong.
