Chapter 282 Talking about business (44)

Of course Shen Xudong came to Hong Kong only after receiving the invitation...

Otherwise, would he run to Hong Kong alone?

are you crazy?

Isn’t it good to stay in mainland China?

"The Desire of the Golden Branch" has a phenomenal influence, and the novel version also achieved a sales miracle, with sales exceeding 600,000 in just half a month!

Qin Wen has participated in several autograph sessions. If Shen Xudong also attends, the effect will definitely be better...

The more "The Desire of the Golden Branch" is sold, the more money he can get...

Come to Hong Kong to promote "Hold the Call"...

Can't make a dime!

He also had to pay for the taxi - he had just eaten and paid for the taxi himself!

This kind of behavior is obviously inconsistent with Shen Xudong's character...

I can't help it, it's a movie after all...

Hollywood is popular all over the world, proving that movies can no longer be completed by a few actors, a few cameras, a screenwriter, and a director, but rather industrial strength.

"Haha, the mainland market is huge. Let's communicate more...Winnie, toast!"

Of course, Shen Xudong could not agree with him, but said: "It's okay, there is also "Infernal Affairs"... I think Hong Kong's police movies are the most unique genre in the world!"

It was just hosted in a club.

Winnie is Leung Min-yee, a female artist under Emperor's banner...

If it had been a few years earlier, Shen Xudong would definitely have been received grandly, and at least the three treasures of wine would have been arranged: peanuts, potato chips and shrimp crackers...

In their eyes, the mainland film market is a wilderness, waiting for them to exploit it at will.

"Just like in "The Heroes", the good policeman Li Ying is squeezed out by his boss and feels the harshness of the world. The police has never been a pool of clear water, it is also a quagmire..."

"The Tailor", Director Chen + Charlene Choi + Tse Ting Feng + Edison Chen...

Moreover, the Hong Kong partners of "The Tailor" and "Witness" are both Emperor, including the Asia-wide distributor of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

In fact, according to the provisions of the CEPA agreement: in a China-Hong Kong co-production, the proportion of Hong Kong creative personnel is not restricted, but the proportion of mainland actors must not be less than one-third of the total number of main actors;

…

The rules are very clear!

However, when co-productions were first launched, although Hong Kong filmmakers moved northward one after another, they still maintained a high profile that they did not deserve to be beaten.

What's even more fucked up is that if an actor from the Mainland comes out to show his face, it will be considered a co-production. The typical ones are "New Police Story" or "The Great Sage"...

""Infernal Affairs" + "The Bloody Heroes"...

How can we talk about things without a female artist following us!

Yang Shoucheng looked old and rude, but what he said still made sense: "In 1994, after Taiwanese companies collectively stopped buying Hong Kong films, the largest market for Hong Kong films disappeared, but we could still hold on because the Southeast Asian market was still there. , the sign of the decline of Hong Kong movies is that the United States produced "Jurassic Park". Before that, movies all over the world were similar. Once a theme became popular, plagiarism and reference were enough. "The Best of Us" borrowed from 007, Stephen Chow The comedy borrowed from David Zucker... "Jurassic Park" couldn't borrow from David Zucker, it didn't have the ability."

It’s not a good time!

Well, "Infernal Affairs", after "Infernal Affairs", 80% of Hong Kong movies are about death-defying undercovers + gangsters + counter-undercovers + gangsters + corrupt undercover gangsters, etc.

Shen Xudong didn't even look at her, he picked up the cup and took a sip...

The conversation was about business.

The male lead clearly says Director Chen!

If you are willing to cooperate, then cooperate. If you are not willing, we will find others - Jiang Zhiqiang and Media Asia's Lin Jianyue are waiting in line to cooperate!

Including "Hold the Call", the female lead and the negative lead are all mainland actors, Chen Hao and Hu Jun...

After the Independent Commission Against Corruption intervened, the Emperor restrained himself a lot.

"I think the most important thing about a police film is the story...Don't be afraid of the story being old, the important thing is the way it is told..."

The three of them quickly started talking about movie genres, and naturally they talked about police and gangster movies!

The protagonist Li Zicheng, in eight years, he has risen from a young henchman to the fifth position in the gang. He has a house, a car, a wife, a younger brother, and a son who is about to be born. His income is N times that of ordinary policemen. He is like a successful person.

!

Li Zicheng’s wish is to leave, to escape, to completely get rid of the identity of “policeman” that has tortured him for eight years!”

There are no restrictions on where the story takes place, but the plot or main characters should be related to the mainland...

Chen Musheng said nothing, but Zheng Jianfeng became interested: "Can you tell me more specifically..."

I also want to catch the undercover!

Gradually becoming a demon...

"...You can dig deeper into "Infernal Affairs". The gangsters in it are too low-end and too idealistic!"

Later, with the rise of mainland stars, it gradually became a model of mainland protagonists + Hong Kong supporting roles.

His biggest pain is that his boss will often threaten him with undercover secrets and ask him to serve the police...

"Of course, the reason why the boss did this is because there was a precedent of undercover mutiny and betrayal of colleagues. Therefore, the boss was always wary of Li Zicheng and took precautions at all times. He placed many informants around Li. Even Li's wife was sent by him.

Come watch.

Of course, Shen Xudong doesn't care about this, Chen Daoming + Liang Jiahui + Gong Li in "Witness";

Obviously, he has no idea about Liang Minyi...

"No, now we are all about marketization and box office... We treat movies as an industry... Since we want to be an industry, we must look at the data. From top to bottom, we attach great importance to box office. Hong Kong movies have sufficient business experience.

Know how to make money at the box office. Mainland China has just started and many places are immature. You need to learn more..."

It's normal. At this stage, the only genre of Hong Kong movies left is police and gangster movies...

When it comes to "Tomorrow's War", we fight an alien...

After chatting for a while, they left with Liang Minyi, leaving behind Chen Musheng and Zheng Jianfeng, the producer of "Hold the Call".

"…for example!"

As a matter of fact, the Emperor invited him to come and participate in the promotion of "Hold the Call". He should come!

…

Therefore, the initial casting is usually a Hong Kong male lead and a Mainland female lead, or a Hong Kong double lead and a Mainland supporting role.

"No, the current projects are actually all about the leader recruiting supporting actors and young models to start work, and everyone just makes a living...I can't compare to you, you treat movies as art!"

Shen Xudong had no intentions towards the Emperor at all, and Yang Shoucheng probably felt it too...

Makes sense!

What a gentleman!

Gentleman, Yang Shoucheng no longer wants to accompany you...

Later, mainland actors began to be arranged to play villains;

I think the relationship of kindness and trust between Chen Yongren and Huang Zhicheng in "Infernal Affairs" is too idealistic... I think the real situation is a combination of coercion and inducement, both soft and hard.

In order to achieve the "just" goal of eradicating gangs, the police can use any means and regardless of the safety of undercover agents."

"Then...how to unfold it?"

Shen Xudong talked about the beginning of "New World"...

It's impossible for him to tell everything, or as he said: It's just the first time they meet, and he has to tell the script orally?

Do you think the other person has a poor memory? Or do you think they are afraid to use your ideas?
