Chapter 268 "Red Cliff"?(34)

Experimental theater, backstage.

At about 10:30 in the morning, Shen Xudong arrived with breakfast in his hand...

Pancake fruit + soy milk.

Zhao Linhai saw him and immediately asked: "Where have you been?"

"...I didn't go anywhere, I just bought breakfast."

Where else to go?

Just came from the hotel…

The art exchange lasted until 3:30 in the morning. At one point, Shen Xudong was worried whether the senior sister would faint...

He was the one who got tired in the end...

Zhuang Liqi was stunned for a moment: "How did you guess that?"

First draw a pie…

"Oh...Wu Yusen!"

"...Why are they nervous?"

"You write a version first," Zhuang Liqi lowered his voice: "Let me tell you something, Mr. Wu has recently become very close to a certain international director..."

"...Well, I just said something casually..."

Very normal thing.

"Is it difficult?"

Zhuang Liqi nodded: "I heard Chen Hao tell me that you want to write "The Battle of Guandu"... why not "Red Cliff"?"

The movie version will be broadcast, and then the TV series version will be filmed...

"That's great!"

I have already studied her thoroughly...

"It doesn't matter how difficult it is. The key point is that if you choose "Red Cliff", Cao Cao's image will be difficult to improve!"

Zhuang Liqi sighed: "You didn't reveal the story about the Three Kingdoms, did you?"

"There is no such thing...Uncle Zhuang, how do you know?"

"We start performing at six o'clock... Our show should go on stage around 7:30..."

"Yes...During the celebration party for "Lost Orphan", I mentioned the synopsis of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."

Although the TV series is usually produced first, and then the movie version is shot, there are also examples where the movie version comes first, and the drama version still earns a lot of money. "Myth" and "October Siege" are both good...

In fact, in this sketch competition, other programs have been reduced to foils, including "Jiao Er", which Shen Xudong thinks is good...

Shen Xudong didn't take it seriously.

"Stop!" Shen Xudong simply told the truth: "Jackie Chan came mainly to talk to me about the script for the movie version of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"... It has nothing to do with them, and I'm not nervous. Why are they nervous?"

"International director? Spielberg?"

"Okay, after a while, we will arrange for you two to meet, and then you can write the script according to his requirements..."

Deng Jie thought about it and then nodded: "Sure, then I will arrange a car to send Jackie Chan there..."

Shen Xudong doesn't quite understand where this tension lies...

…

They will adjust the actors' positions, lines, etc...

Zhuang Liqi thought he was thin-skinned and followed his topic: "The story of the Three Kingdoms is too familiar to Asian audiences, especially the audiences from the Three Kingdoms in East Asia. They can almost casually name every important character and every important scene. Battle. If we film it, it will definitely be a big hit at the box office!"

Get what you want?

Do you think it was revealed just yesterday?

Director Huang was fired because of Zhang Guoli...

"...Uncle Zhuang, let's talk about the Three Kingdoms!"

"Um…"

Shen Xudong clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to gather around, and then said: "Let me say something ugly first. The relationship between the "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" sketch and the movie script can be said to be irrelevant. The core of our sketch is to keep one's word, and the movie is to show that A tragic and majestic history..."

"Who told you he was here for casting?"

Shen Xudong said matter-of-factly: "Didn't he mess up "Wind Talker"? I heard that the new film "Memory Crack" is not a big hit either. He can't get any jobs in Hollywood and is planning to return to China to develop..."

""Red Cliff"..."

Shen Xudong has no objections...

Zhao Linhai lowered his voice: "Everyone is quite nervous... Jackie Chan is coming after all!"

"Contradiction...oh, I see!"

"It's just the right time..."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Xudong received a call from Deng Jie, saying that he had received a call from Jackie Chan...

Dual development of IP!

"It's already half past ten, and it will be our turn to rehearse soon..."

Naturally, other programs will be ignored...

And some time ago, he has been busy preparing for "The Best Butler".

Speaking of rehearsals, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is the fourth program and has been rehearsed twice...

Yang Shuo hesitated for a moment, then said: "Then if we behave well..."

After a brief chat, Shen Xudong hung up the phone...

The story of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" can easily be expanded to 40 episodes of the TV series.

In the story of "Red Cliff", there are strategies, wars, and killings, but there is no peace.

Then everyone must report on "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

"Did you disclose the project to them?"

Sorry, Shen Xudong can't do it!

Even Lu Wei couldn't do it - during the preparation stage of the "Red Cliff" script, Lu Wei asked director Wu Yusen what theme he wanted to show in the film?

Wu Yusen replied: Peace.

Shen Xudong did not agree, but said: "Let's talk about it then!"

Because the media already knows that Jackie Chan is coming to watch the sketch "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

"Aren't you here for casting?"

"I have something to tell you. Your Uncle Zhang has some conflicts with your school, so he won't go there!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, but you have to choose the right story!"

"...Really? I don't know about that!"

…

This kind of thing will seriously affect the reputation of the school!

Just after hanging up the phone, the phone rang again. This time it was Zhuang Liqi. He asked directly: "I heard that Jackie Chan was picked up by Zhang Guoli and Han Shanping?"

"Didn't you tell Chen Hao..."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Liqi chuckled: "How is it? You got what you wanted!"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "No matter how good you are, it's useless. In the history of Anxi Army, the characters are at least sixty years old..."

Zhuang Liqi's intention is very obvious, "Red Cliff", and writing it for Wu Yusen...

It was nearly ten o'clock in the morning when he woke up...

"Of course, everyone is also discouraged. If nothing else happens, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" will also be filmed as a TV series. When the time comes, I will definitely choose from you first!"

?

"About what time will you finish?"

"Secondly, the reason why Jackie Chan came here was mainly to discuss the script with me, and watching the performance was just a way to..."

Originally, after the "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" skit was finished, he should be out of business.

It's just not easy to do - there are a lot of war scenes, and the investment must be huge...

"Don't be so mean, he is a world-renowned commercial film director!"

"What if Jackie Chan takes notice..."

"Finally, he is not here for casting, so you don't need to be nervous..."

"Chinese international director..."

It’s true. Movies with the theme of the Three Kingdoms are very popular, including what we consider to be big bad movies, "See the Dragon and Remove its Armor" and "Guan Yunchang". Among them, "See the Dragon and Remove its Armor" has a box office of 22 million US dollars in Asia, and "Guan Yunchang" has also been sold overseas. $6 million…

"Whoever wants to talk about peace in that situation is seeking death."

Unexpectedly, Wu Yusen not only disagreed with Lu Wei's proposal, but also repeatedly emphasized that "Xiao Qiao is very important" and "Lin Zhiling is excellent!"

Therefore, from the beginning, "his idea was to win a role"...

"You just want to play a role and make a movie. Why do you have to ruin a big drama like "Red Cliff"?"

You see, even Reed can’t be handled, it’s surprising that Shen Xudong can handle it!
