Chapter 557 Agreement

From the perspective of a company boss, Shen Xudong especially likes actors like Yang Xiaomi and Zhao Liying!

A "tool man" with outstanding attributes as a model worker. No, I should say an actor.

After Zhao Liying became popular, she filmed more than ten TV series in three years. Yang Xiaomi might as well let more...

Moreover, both of them are workaholics and don't care much about roles. Regardless of TV series or movies, they just take roles if they are available.

In contrast, many actors value their status and rarely want to go back to film TV series once they have established themselves in the film industry.

Yang Xiaomi didn't care about this. Even when she was at her most popular, she still didn't give up on TV dramas!

No one thought anything was wrong...

As for getting married...

How should I put it? On the one hand, it’s because of love, and on the other hand, it’s probably because of resource exchange!

Let's be realistic. In those years, there were numerous cases of second-rate male stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan entering the mainland to marry or keep young mainland actresses!

Not only male actors, but also female stars - the old women in Hong Kong and Taiwan, each of them can write a book about the ups and downs they have experienced, and what is left after they grow old are their assets and connections. Since they can't tie themselves to the wealthy, at least they can If you still have some capital, why not find some potential young men as companions?

One has resources, the other has body, they hit it off!

In the entertainment industry, there is nothing wrong with taking shortcuts to achieve your goals.

Auntie, I don’t want to work hard anymore…

Bringing it back, in fact, Shen Xudong and Tianmei Media are already the first-tier film and television companies.

What concept?

For high-quality projects and script delivery, including film and television talents, the first choice is Tianmei Media.

It’s hard to say that there is an eclectic selection of talents, but Tianmei’s directorial plan is to promote four films this year: "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots", "Love Call Transfer", "A Story of Two Foods" and one "Night Club"...

The latter two films are directed by new directors.

As for "Life Events", "Unfortunate Journey", "Back to 20" and "Wulin Gaiden" (movie version), they are projects controlled by Shen Xudong and are not in the director's plan!

These are Shen Xudong's confidence.

This is also the reason why he dares to directly challenge the Academy Awards!

Oh, Yang Xiaomi’s contract hasn’t expired yet…

"I still have three years of contract..."

"...When your contract expires, then sign it to me... After all, Rong Xinda promoted you!"

This is indeed the case, several of Yang Xiaomi's TV series "The Family", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "Wang Zhaojun" were all helped by Li Xiaowan!

Elevated her to the level of a popular actress in one fell swoop.

This kind of kindness must be repaid...

"Okay!" Yang Xiaomi suddenly remembered something: "Director Shao Hong is going to film "The Blue Dragon Yanyue Knife"..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What the hell? She wants to film Guan Yunchang?"

"Yes, it's Guan Yunchang, but she mainly tells the emotional story of Guan Yu's life..."

Shen Xudong breathed a sigh of relief... He thought "Zhao Zilong" had promoted the theme of the Three Kingdoms...

A group of directors are coming one after another!

After the little fan explained this, he understood and immediately said: "...who cares about Guan Yu's love life? I'm booking a work on the street!"

The young fan obviously knows Li Shaohong's masterpiece very well: "You can't say that, Director Li said, 'Many viewers are concerned about Guan Yu's love life, and the story of sending the emperor's sister-in-law thousands of miles away has been passed down through the ages'... I heard that I want to find Jin Chengwu and Zhang Ziyi …”

"Really? Then I wish her success!"

…

Guan Yu is very busy...

After "Zhao Zilong" became popular in Asia, a bunch of producers saw the popularity of this subject!

But instead of following the trend of "Zhao Zilong", they filmed Guan Yu!

Movies about Guan Yunchang in preparation include: the epic blockbuster "Guan Gong" written by Liu Heng, directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, and starring Sun Honglei;

"The Blue Dragon Yanyue Knife" directed by Li Shaohong, which tells the love story of Guan Gong;

Investment by Huanyu Company, the film is titled "The Legend of Valkyrie" and the actors are tentatively scheduled to be Louis Koo and Aaron Kwok. Louis Koo will play Guan Gong and Aaron Kwok will play Cao Cao. It is a costume spoof film. The screenwriters are Tao Jie and Stephen Chow's former assistant Wei Dashen;

In addition, there is also a TV series version of "Wu Sheng Yun Chang" in which boss Yang Zi himself will star...

Shen Xudong said it didn't matter - nine out of ten projects were bad, and commercial project approval was normal.

It’s a fact that the theme of the Three Kingdoms is very popular, so we can’t stop them from starting filming, right?

Therefore, it is too difficult to follow the example of Marvel in creating a movie universe - if copyright cannot be resolved, you have no way to ask others not to film it!

By the way, after the little fan performed "Zhu Xian", he immediately took over the filming of "Who Makes the Call of My Youth"...

Well, it's almost time for "Struggle" to be aired.

You can't just keep your word. After all, young fans have contributed a lot. It would be outrageous for Shen Xudong to just give away a lot of artistic essence...

…

Huairou Film and Television Base, Republic of China Street, Little Red Building…

It was originally the Little Red Building, but after adjustments by art designers Xiao Haihang and Yang Haoyu, it immediately turned into the Republic of China-style mansion imagined by Shen Xudong, including the surrounding environment, which is the style of old Shanghai in the Republic of China!

Xiao Haihang and Yang Haoyu are both big names in mainland art and design circles, and have won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Art...

It took three months to set up, and the set was really scary.

Shen Xudong was very satisfied. After wandering around for a while, he asked Zhang Li, the photographer next to him: "Do you have any other comments?"

"...I have no objection."

Zhang Li... is not in a good mood, and his "Ming Dynasty 1566" has very low ratings!

It even got to the point where it was taken off the shelves before it was finished and was replaced with the Korean drama "Da Zi's Spring"...

Shen Xudong consoled him: "Director Zhang, do you know "The Great Era"?"

"...TVB's "The Big Era"?"

"Yes..." Shen Xudong continued: "The ratings of "Big Time" at 8 o'clock were very poor, and it received many negative reviews..."

"Big Era" became popular after it was re-broadcast for the second time, probably in the afternoon slot...

The prime time period is originally a time to relax, and the dramas suitable for broadcasting are either enjoyable dramas, family dramas, or workplace dramas...

Are you looking for death by doing dramas like "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and "The Great Era"?

The truth is very simple: if a TV series requires a certain threshold to be appreciated, then the TV series will most likely not be popular!

Zhang Li sighed: "...I understand!"

"Director Zhang, after we finish filming "Famous", I have a project here that I want to invite you to..."

"TV show or movie?"

"The TV series... Teacher Sun Haohui's "The Qin Empire"... I think it is very suitable to be adapted into a TV series... Our company directly signed a 10-year adaptation right..."

""The Great Qin Empire"? Okay, I'll buy it when I go back and take a look..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "This is a series of films. Only the sixth generation of Qin Fen, Yu Lie, unified the world... Naturally, it is impossible to only film Qin Shihuang... The first part mainly talks about Shang Yang's reforms..."

The "Great Qin Empire" series is considered a good novel, until the author himself jumps out and insists that what he is writing is official history...

This is so embarrassing!

The relationship between "The Qin Empire" and history...

There was an authority on the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties at the Northwest University of Political Science and Law where Teacher Sun Haohui worked, Mr. Lin Jianming, who died in 1997.

Mr. Lin has obviously read the first few volumes of "The Great Qin Empire". He commented on the Great Qin Empire at that time, saying: Haohui used artistic imagination and fiction to fill in many unclear blind spots in historical materials during the Warring States Period...

Translation: Stop comparing works of artistic imagination with official history!

But... the "Qin Empire" TV series is one of the few high-quality dramas, and "The Mistress" is not included...

Zhang Li himself is famous for filming dramas, so it is perfect for him to lead "The Qin Empire".
Chapter completed!
