Chapter 148: Long-cherished wish fulfilled
It's just a plan!
According to Shen Changlin's estimate, the fantasy and magnificent world of "Assassination of Novelists" would require at least 400 million to create!
Plus actors and staff remuneration...
The total cost is at least 500 million!
With an investment of 500 million, the cost can be recovered, and the box office will be over 1.5 billion...
Given the current size of the film market, it is too difficult.
Let’s wait first!
The group of people chatted briefly, but they were all very tired and went back to their rooms to rest.
Shen Changlin originally wanted to go home, but Li Xiaoping stopped him and talked about "Search" for a while.
Tomorrow, the Berlin Film Festival will announce the list of main competition units, and "Search" is among them. Shen Changlin will probably post on Weibo to promote it.
Regardless of whether you can win the award or not, it is still a good thing to be shortlisted.
At least it can shut up those people who clamor that Shen Changlin's movies are all about money and not art at all!
Of course, it would be even better if you can win a prize...
Shen Changlin was very honest: "The probability of winning the grand prize is not high. The theme of "Search" is cyber violence. In the West, cyber violence is not a new subject. There was even a movie in Canada last year called "Cyber Violence"!"
"...What do you mean?"
"I think I can win a small award at most, and I can still win the Silver Bear Award!"
"Jury Prize?"
“Or the Alfred Ball Silver Bear!”
The Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award, equivalent to the Special Jury Award, is named after Alfred Bauer to thank him for his contribution to the Berlin Film Festival.
Li Xiaoping felt that she felt sorry for Shen Changlin: "Guang Guang doesn't have many connections overseas..."
That's right, Guangguang's vision is always limited to the country...
Not to mention compared with Wanda, Bona’s Fatty Yu has invested in Li Min after all!
Shen Changlin waved his hand: "It's okay. Just leave the public relations to Yang Fan. He knows these people well..."
Then, the two talked about the situation of "I am a Witness". The heroine must be Liu Shishi, and Zhang Yi was chosen as the first choice - she took the initiative to ask for the role, so it was difficult to refute his face. For other castings, Shen Chang Lin had no idea for the time being: "Leave it to Director Cao!"
"…OK."
Cao Baoping is also a qualified director. Such directors usually have their own direct actors.
Li Xiaoping asked a question: "I heard that Director Cao has a very good relationship with Zhou Xun. How did you convince him to choose Liu Shishi as the heroine?"
Shen Changlin was stunned for a moment: "...I haven't said anything yet, I just handed him the script..."
"I think you'd better communicate with him first..."
Shen Changlin shook his head: "No need!"
Look, in "I Am a Witness", Shen Changlin is the investor and the screenwriter. Director Cao is only a hired director. Who has to look at his face when choosing the heroine?
Doesn’t that mean kneeling down to beg for food?
…
When Li Xiaoping left, Shen Changlin looked at the time and saw that it was almost one o'clock in the evening...
I drove home at this time and waited until I got home. It was at least 1:30. Forget it, let’s rest in the hotel for one night. Tomorrow I have to appear in "The Best Scene" with Su Lun and Liu Qianqian...
After talking to the hotel front desk, Shen Changlin entered the elevator with a room card.
I pressed the button for the twelfth floor, but the elevator stopped for a moment on the eighth floor...
Damn it, there are still people using the elevator in the middle of the night?
Shen Changlin quickly lowered his head - he was a public figure after all, and he would be very embarrassed if he was recognized.
"bite…"
When the elevator arrived, Shen Changlin walked around the woman standing in front of him and walked out of the elevator. He heard a chuckle and felt a little familiar. He turned his head. Although the woman was wearing sunglasses, he recognized it at a glance: it was Yang Xiaomi!
Producer Shen was surprised: "...Why are you in the elevator?"
Yang Xiaomi: "I guess you may have to stay in the hotel tonight, so I came to see you!"
"...Find me? Now?"
She got out of the elevator, walked up to him, took off her sunglasses, looked at him, and asked narrowly: "Are you sure we can chat here?"
"…You want to go to my room? Are you sure?"
Shen Changlin couldn't help but ask...
He always feels that there is something wrong here!
"Nonsense, I left the two crews alone and flew here specifically for BJ. What do you think it was for?"
"...How do I know..."
After muttering something, Shen Changlin walked forward, found the room, and swiped the key card - he was not Wu Renyao, the protagonist of "Four Seas", but he still knew how to use the key card!
Yang Xiaomi followed and walked in.
Shen Changlin took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He turned to see her changing her slippers, so he asked out of habit: "Would you like tea?"
"You...want to make tea now?"
"I'm asking you if you want tea..."
"Don't drink!"
Yang Xiaomi rolled her eyes, watched him sit down, and followed suit.
It's not that Shen Changlin has never experienced indescribable things between actresses and directors, but he really didn't think about it, after all, he is an idol!
Before entering the door, I even thought that Yang Xiaomi might have come to him for some advice, or maybe she wanted to be the heroine of a blockbuster movie...
He had already thought about it and tried to persuade her not to be too ambitious. He cleared his throat and was about to speak when Yang Xiaomi reached out and hugged him. Without hesitation, she suddenly came closer...
As the saying goes, meeting the wind, jade and dew can win countless things in the world...
Okay, maybe it’s not that sweet, it’s just a bonus after realizing your long-cherished wish...
At that moment, he felt that his brain was lacking oxygen, so he could only reach out his hand reflexively and made some unsightly movements. The other party just grunted and let him do what he did.
A few minutes later, the equipment was removed and his posture changed. Shen Changlin was about to say something...
But she took the initiative to lean into her ear and whispered: ‘…’
Well, Shen Changlin can't help it anymore, he just wants to work hard now!
…
Shen Changlin remembered something in his dream. In the original time and space, it should be the second year of junior high school. He was taken to the video hall by his neighbor's brother to watch the video. He watched the teachers' performance for the first time. He felt deeply in his heart and wrote a poem. The full text is very long, but one paragraph goes like this: Only desire can swallow up strength. I saw a white smile on her face...
Then I was discovered by the Chinese teacher and thought that my writing was very good, so I read it aloud in the class...
It’s a shame no one knows what he wrote!
However, since then, Shen Changlin has had no interest in so-called modern poetry. Others think you are freehand, but in fact you are realistic!
