Chapter 538 Coming up with Ideas

Sister Jiuyi specially brought a copy of "Apple" here...

Probably I want Shen Xudong to comment on the plot and acting skills.

She had been to Shen Xudong's house and knew that he had an underground screening room with professional screening equipment!

Why show it to Shen Xudong?

After all, he often hangs out at foreign film festivals, so he has experience!

It also meant to show off - she really felt that "Apple" was a good performance.

In the original time and space, because of the movie "Apple", Fan Xiaopang stepped onto the red carpet in Berlin for the first time. She was rushing to compete for the International Best Actress. For this reason, she prepared four sets of dragon robes.

One of the sets is called "Danfeng Chaoyang" and comes with a gold fan...

Unfortunately, it was not bold enough. In addition, at that film festival, "Tuya's Marriage" directed by Wang Quan'an won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film, which immediately stole the spotlight from "Apple"...

Of course, she doesn't know this yet.

Shen Xudong saw a copy of "Apple"...

Swallowed.

"Apple", everyone knows that the key point is 9 minutes and 57 seconds!

Who cares about plot and stuff?

Three erotic dramas:

The beginning is a scene of working in the bathroom. The small, dirty bathroom does not allow people to enjoy the beauty at all.

Later, Liu Pingguo was assaulted by Liang Jiahui in the foot washing room, but through the window he saw her boyfriend who was cleaning the glass at high altitude.

The furious boyfriend finally vented his anger on Liu Pingguo in a sexual way.

To tell you something, I actually watched "Apple" secretly at home when I was 12 years old, and it left a deep impression on me:

The rivalry scene between Liang Jiahui and Fan Xiaopang when they were alone in the Foot Washing City was very exciting! It’s fun to watch! It's a pity that Tong Da was lying outside the window and yelling to disrupt the situation, which interrupted the originally exciting action scene. Later, Tong Da refused to accept and asked Fan Xiaopang to act opposite him. In a small rented house, the lighting and scenery , the props including the dialogue are also very exciting!

These two scenes left a very shocking impression on me. I marveled at the peak acting skills of the best actors and actresses, and marveled at the artistic expression. I watched them over and over again more than 20 times, which taught my young mind about artistic performance. Introductory class…

Later, the CD was taken away by my father, who said that this was not a movie for children.

…

In fact, "Apple" is not bad, a product of the entanglement of realism and literary youth ideas.

Capitalism turns people into ghosts. The honest rural couple could have lived an honest life in their hometown.

However, due to the uneven development of the region and the introduction of the commodity economy, he came to the big city to work hard. As a result, he met the local tyrants and evil gentry, and once again acted out the tragic story of the old society...

But Tong Dawei obviously used too much force, and at a glance it was obvious that he was an intellectual condescendingly playing the role of a poor and lower-middle peasant.

However, after "Apple", realistic themes were either transferred to independent productions and not released in China, or they fell into safe themes or even bad movies that made money.

It wasn't until "I'm Not the God of Medicine" that it caused a ripple again...

But...it's just good. If you want to win an award, it's far from it!

"...The probability of your movie winning an award is basically zero!"

"Ah? Why?"

"This type of subject matter is rarely seen in China, but it is not new abroad... In addition, the scale is not enough..."

Fan Jiuyi was shocked: "Isn't this large enough?"

"Last year's "Summer Palace" and this year's "Lust, Caution" by Li Min... do you compare with them?"

"…Eh!"

Fan Xiaopang sighed and was about to speak when Shen Xudong said again: "'Apple' has finished participating in the film festival and will be released as soon as possible...don't delay!"

"Can't you choose a good time?"

"...Choose a good schedule for Mao. The Olympics will be held next year. You can film "Lost BJ" at this time. If it can pass the review, hurry up!"

The English name of "Apple" is "Lost in Beijing"...The BJ in the movie is very ugly!

伱Is this intentional or targeted?

You can talk about human nature, but this society is not something you, a director, can just dictate.

Of course, the most important thing is that director Li Yu is not an international director. "Lust, Caution" could be cut and released, and "Apple" was released directly!

…

The topic of "Apple" ended here. Sister Jiuyi talked about wanting to be affiliated with Tianmei Media...

Shen Xudong had already discussed this matter with Chen Xi before.

The two agreed: No!

Yes, Fan Xiaopang is a first-line actor, well-known enough, and being affiliated with the company will definitely increase the company's influence...

But...the company's current cast composition is very reasonable, and the first sister, second sister, and third sister all have their places.

It would be difficult for Fan Xiaopang to join.

What, the catfish effect?

Brother, she is not a catfish, she is a greedy fish...

Most importantly, Xiaopang's future incarnation as Sister Jiuyi will directly affect Tangde Film and Television, which is deeply bound. Before 2018, Jiuyijie's career was at its peak, and the share price of Tangde Film and Television behind it once rose to more than 200 yuan, and its market value As high as 15 billion yuan. After the accident, the market value of Tangde Film and Television fell to a bottom of 1.7 billion yuan, almost 90% lower than the peak. If it weren’t for the later intervention of state-owned assets to save lives, Tangde Film and Television would probably have been delisted not far away...

Shen Xudong doesn’t want to follow in his footsteps!

Therefore, he shook his head: "Our company mainly focuses on film and television production, artist management is not the core business, and... our current structure has been determined, and we will not sign contracts with famous actors..."

Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Shen Xudong added: "None of us are pursuing Liu Yifei!"

"Why?"

"Because celebrities are prone to accidents. Being overly bound or associated with celebrities will affect the company..."

"…then what do I do?"

Shen Xudong glanced at her...

Sister Jiuyi has grown, and she has the beauty of a mature woman...

After stabilizing his position, Shen Xudong came up with an idea: "I suggest you focus on TV dramas. Audiences in most places in China don't watch movies or can't see movies, but TV dramas can be seen everywhere, including merchants and advertisements. What clients value is the popularity of an artist, so giving up TV series and focusing on TV series is putting the cart before the horse!"

"...What you said makes sense, but I can't give up on movies!"

"I won't let you give up!" Shen Xudong continued: "If there is a movie for you, you can read the script or the lineup and accept the one that is good, regardless of the size of the role..."

"Then...will you ask me to make a movie?"

"...see if there are any suitable roles..."

"Really?" Sister Jiuyi pushed further: "I also want to act in a Hollywood movie..."

Shen Xudong frowned: "...how is your English?"

"...Not very good, but I can learn!"

"Even if you get to star in a Hollywood movie, you'll still be playing a supporting role in the beginning..."

"It's okay, I can accept it!"

"Okay, I will go to the United States to prepare a new film in a while, and I will arrange a role for you then!"
