Chapter 588 Zhao Xinlai Should Really Be Allowed to See the World!

Shen Xudong's reputation... must be very good in China, he is a sunny and cheerful boy, and he is also talented!

In America...it's a little more bohemian.

Zheng Taicheng has a producer friend in the United States, and he asked about Shen Xudong's good mouth...

It's a coincidence that he is very familiar with this kind of public relations.

South Korea likes to let female celebrities entertain guests!

In countries under the plutocratic system, many people's path to class transition is blocked, and they can only become stars...

There's no point in being a star, because you can't escape the plutocrats...

Become the plaything of the big guys.

South Korea's entertainment industry really serves the chaebols, and no one who is favored by the chaebols can escape.

It just so happens that CJ Films is part of CJ Group, which is also a chaebol...

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "There are indeed some works that I like very much, such as "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Witch Youxi". The performances of the two heroines are impressive."

Zheng Taicheng was stunned for a moment...

Let me go, you are really knowledgeable!

Song Hye Kyo, Han Jiaren!

They are all stars!

Well, come to think of it, Shen Xudong, as the boss of a film and television company, has a lot of things to do, so it would be great if he can remember two works!

Both of these are TV series, so he probably noticed them while watching TV.

"...Okay, I get it!"

what do you know?

Could it be that you want to give a gift?

After finishing the meal, Shen Xudong went directly upstairs to rest.

Although he is not the protagonist in the promotion work of "The Old Man", he still has to participate. He often flies to three cities in one day. This trip to South Korea was very rushed... and the feeling of fatigue is still very strong.

After taking a shower, I lay in bed and thought about the Korean market.

In fact, the Korean film market is not very big. Due to population and other factors, the overall volume is quite small. The total annual box office data is around US$1.2 billion...

As for the influence of the Korean Wave - 2018 is considered the peak period of the Korean Wave. South Korea's overseas audio-visual, audio-visual and related service revenue reached US$1.702 billion, achieving a surplus of US$1.235 billion, setting a record since statistics began in 2006...

That's right, revenue is 1.235 billion...

Summary: Not as good as Genshin Impact!

The most important thing in the film and television industry is the market!

While thinking about it, I drifted off to sleep, and then I heard a knock on the door...

Then I saw Zheng Taicheng's "I know", he really sent Song Hye Kyo and Han Jiaren...

Shen Xudong originally wanted to chat a few words and ask Zheng Taicheng what conditions he had promised, but their English was very poor and they had no idea of ​​language communication and only wanted to discuss art.

Then let’s have pure artistic exchange!

These two people should have received relevant training, their skills are amazing, and they are very enthusiastic...

Shen Xudong had just slept for three hours, and his energy had recovered to 80%. Although he was not fully recovered, he still responded at his full level - after all, he represented the Chinese people!

Oh, the next day, Shen Xudong gave each of them a business card of Joseph Drake. The latter was recently preparing for the American drama "Urban Rogue" and needed a large number of actors...

…

It's a bit regretful that he didn't have the chance to meet Kim Young Min. He really thought about challenging Girls' Generation!

The main schedule was too tight, so I flew to the United States the next afternoon.

By the way, the director for "Strange Her" is Huang Donghyuk - the director of the original version. As for the actors, they still have to audition. Anyway, Shen Xudong said that the mainland version of "20 Again" will be released in June next year...

Shen Xudong is anxious to go to the United States, not entirely because of the release of "The Fault in Our Stars", but mainly because of the casting of "The Twilight Saga".

According to Joseph Drake's original words: There is not much movement in the preparation of "Twilight", but there are also many people paying attention.

No matter what, "Twilight" is also an adaptation of a best-selling novel!

In addition, many people also want to see if Shen Xudong can continue his magic...

After all, the "Twilight" project was collectively rejected by the six major companies.

Oh, Kristen Stewart has been chosen as the heroine - her father is a producer of Fox TV series, her mother is a screenwriter, and she has a good relationship with Joseph Drake.

Plus Kristen’s audition performance was really good.

Shen Xudong attaches great importance to "Twilight", so he does not intend to let "Twilight" change too much from his memory. After all, with changes, there is uncertainty.

Christine is considered the soul character of "The Twilight Saga", and Shen Xudong has never planned to replace her.

As for the male protagonist - let's change it, after all, scolding the cook when he's full is very annoying!

Henry Cavill is pretty good.

…

After arriving in Los Angeles, before Shen Xudong had time to go to the hotel, he was taken to the casting scene of "The Twilight Saga" by Joseph Drake...

Shen Xudong was a little confused: "...Why did you ask me to come here?"

Joseph Drake explained: "This is a big $40 million project, and you are the producer!"

"Okay, let them in!"

In fact, once the male and female protagonists are determined, the remaining supporting roles don’t matter. Try to pick handsome men and beautiful women...

Anyway, "The Twilight Saga" is just a movie that sells Mary Sues, bad blood, and love triangles...

What was important besides the male and female protagonists was the director who set the tone for the first film. Shen Xudong found director Catherine Hardwicke according to the original version.

This director is an artist by training, so the art design of "Twilight" is very cool, with cool colors throughout...

The audition took place at the "Twilight Saga" studio in Los Angeles - the studio system is a common practice for Hollywood projects. Generally, when a relatively high-cost film project is launched, the production company will set up a corresponding studio to coordinate the film's funds, Preparation, personnel, filming, advertising, sponsorship and surrounding work...

Of course, "Twilight" is not a big investment, but $40 million is considered a medium investment.

The whole studio, not too much!

The audition scene was very lively...

There are countless young people in Hollywood who have dreams. They work part-time and go for interviews when they have the chance.

The production cost was US$40 million, and it was adapted from a best-selling novel. There were so many people who came to audition...

Shen Xudong... can't be said to be a feast for the eyes. I feel that there are really too few beautiful girls.

No wonder later Hollywood movies had so much trouble choosing the right vase!

Then, a girl with light blue eyes and a plump figure came in...

"Hi, my name is Alexandra Daddario, 23 years old, born in New York... I starred in the TV series "All My Children" in 2002, and I am a recurring character...

Participated in two movies...I really like the role of Rosalie Hale..."

Rosalie Hale, supporting character, member of the Cullens…

Joseph Drake was very discerning. He observed that when Alexandra Daddario came in, Shen Xudong's eyes clearly lit up.

Therefore, after Alexandra Daddario introduced himself, he decisively asked in a 'asking for instructions' tone: "Producer Shen, what do you think?"

"Ahem..." Shen Xudong nodded: "Very good..."

In fact, Shen Xudong's eyes lit up. Apart from Alexandra Daddario's good looks and tall figure, the most important thing he thought of was one thing: Zhao Xinlai should really be allowed to see the world!
