Chapter 344 What the hell...
Looking for him at this time?
Could it be that Shen Changlin should help his son stand up for him?
Fang Shimin is really disgusting with people lately...
At the premiere press conference of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", Chen Hong angrily criticized Fang Shimin: One person ruined a movie!
If you look at the movie alone, this is certainly not true. The story line of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is top-heavy, with many parts unclear, disorganized, and logically confusing. Whether there are sexual intercourse with the people or not, it has no impact at all...
But from a publicity perspective, it does have an impact: Generally, the film promotion period is at least one month, but due to the Fang Shimin incident, the promotion period of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was shortened to half a month, and the film was not fully displayed...
Let's put it this way, the poetry-reciting couple did not give Jackie Chan any face!
However, Chen Hong has never sold anyone's face. At that time, Wu Junru said that "The Promise" was a bad movie and was not shortlisted for the main competition of Gaana at all. She went there at her own expense!
This sentence reached Chen Hong's ears. She responded in public at the "The Promise" meeting, saying that Wu Junru had never watched "The Promise", so what qualifications did she have to point fingers? She also said, "If you want to come to the mainland to develop, you should understand." rule!'
Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being a master. Opening and closing your mouth are all rules...
The filming of "The Promise" directly caused the country to issue the "Regulations on Scenic Areas"...
Ensure that the protection of scenic spots and historic sites is legally enforceable!
Why?
It's not just that things have gotten serious. The Tianchi of Shangri-La was damaged during the filming of "The Promise", and some trees in the Old Summer Palace died...
Bringing it back to the topic, the couple, a young poet reciter, didn’t give face to each other. How could they expect Shen Changlin to help?
How is this possible?
But if Jackie Chan really begged with all his heart, Shen Changlin wouldn't be able to refuse, so he might as well take Lao Guo with him!
Make him responsible for saying no…
…
In the car, Shen Changlin suddenly thought of a question, so he asked Guo Songjiang: "You said that Fang Mingmin has been using that stuff for eight years, does Jackie Chan really not know about it at all?"
Guo Songjiang smiled: "I definitely don't know!"
"So sure?"
"You will know when you become a father... If my son takes that stuff, I will beat him to death!"
"...that's not necessarily..."
"Then will you smoke in front of your dad?"
Shen Changlin was stunned for a moment: "...I don't smoke!"
"Oh? What news do you have?"
"I heard that Shanghai Film Studio is preparing to remake "Railway Guerrilla" and asked Jackie Chan!"
"Shangying..."
Shanghai Film Studio has had many collaborations with Jackie Chan in recent years, such as "Revolution of 1911", "Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs", "Heavenly Generals", etc., including the later "The Climber", and Jackie Chan also made a cameo...
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" didn't get made, so let's make "Railway Guerrillas"!
It’s also a classic red color.
"Railway Tigers", Shen Changlin certainly knows that the unparalleled 2016 Lunar New Year movies, "The Ferryman", "The Great Wall", and "Railway Tigers" directly made a lot of people lose confidence in domestic films...
I really lost my confidence, and even in the Spring Festival of the following year, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" all suffered from word-of-mouth backlash...
"Our "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was a great success. Shanghai Film Studio is very jealous of it. "Railway Tigers" and "The Eternal Wave" have already been approved!"
"...Have you obtained the adaptation rights?"
"It seems not...many seniors have a conservative attitude towards the commercialization of red classics. They are too commercial and can easily fall into the issue of whether they are capitalists or socialists..."
Shen Changlin nodded, movies like "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare" and "Shining Red Star" are not so easy to remake...
Even "Railway Guerrillas" was not authorized by the original work and was forced to change its name to "Railway Tigers";
"The Eternal Radio" is even more outrageous. It didn't get the authorization and started filming directly with financing...
Then when it came to the issuance, we almost searched all the big companies including Wuzhou, Wangda, Dadi, etc., but due to various reasons no one took over the offer. In the end, Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. took over the issuance...
State-owned enterprises are awesome and are not afraid of any disputes!
If they don't agree, why do you use their copyright to adapt it?
…
Sure enough, it was about "Railway Tiger"...
The planner of this drama is Zhang Miao, senior director of Columbia Pictures China...
Oh, he is the chief producer and executive producer of "Tang Style Boy".
Seeing Shen Changlin and Guo Songjiang coming over, they exchanged a few words and then talked about "Railway Guerrilla": "Combining the red classic with Big Brother's kung fu comedy..."
Guo Songjiang glanced at Shen Changlin, who said nothing, so he said: "...Will the audience not accept it? This scale is difficult to grasp... After all, anti-Japanese things are not a joke!"
"Why can't the anti-Japanese war be a joke? The movie "Hands Up" can earn more than 20 million yuan every year in the rural cinema screening market!"
Guo Songjiang shook his head: ""Hands Up"...that is a pure comedy, different! It is positioned as a "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" type comedy!"
"Hands Up" is really a magical drama. From 2004 to 2012, "Hands Up" firmly occupied the first place in rural theaters, with a total of more than 1 million screenings.
Screenings cost money, so let’s put it this way, until 2019, “Hands Up” earned more than 20 million per year!
By the way, Feng Xiaoning, the director of "Hands Up", made this movie because he read many comments saying that "Chinese directors will never be able to make "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth"", and then he spent several years in preparation and made "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth". Raise your hands》…
Damn it, it was originally a comedy, and then it was scolded for more than ten years!
Moreover, the actors had no special skills, and all the familiar faces on the stage performed to their heart's content. The props were very comprehensive. It was the first time in my life that I saw the Japanese army's rifle grenades and the grenades that exploded after being knocked on the screen.
Guo Songjiang asked him: "Do you dare to position "Railway Guerrilla" as a comedy? Even if you dare, will the family members of the original author Liu Zhixia be willing?"
"Then you make "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"..."
"What happened to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"? "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" itself has enough commercial elements, including bandit suppression, undercover agents, internal and external cooperation in raids... How can "Railway Guerrilla" add commercial elements?"
"Didn't I say that Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy is combined with the anti-Japanese war... If you think about it, a fight on the train is completely in line with Jackie Chan's movie routine..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Miao glanced at Jackie Chan, who was chatting with Shen Changlin about "Avenger 2": "Brother, you should have watched "Tunnel War" and "Railway Guerrilla", right?"
Interrupted in the chat, Jackie Chan confirmed the question and then nodded: "I did read it. I particularly like the song in it, 'The sun in the west is about to set, the Weishan Lake is quiet, and I play my beloved Tu Pipa...'"
Shen Changlin finally spoke: "Well, if the story of "Railway Guerrillas" is shot well, it can be comparable to "The Bridge" and "Walter Defends Sarajevo"! But the premise is that it cannot be mixed with any comedy... it should be shot more tragically! "
Zhang Miao frowned: "...but if the tone is tragic and tragic, it doesn't match Jackie Chan's action comedy style, and the market may not buy it..."
Shen Changlin waved his hand: "I'm just making a suggestion... We will not participate in this project."
Zhang Miao asked tentatively: "Mr. Shen is not optimistic?"
"What do you like?"
"Market prospects?"
Shen Changlin shook his head, glanced at Jackie Chan, and then praised: "...As long as it stars Jackie Chan, it has a high chance of being a hit!"
"That…"
"We have already made "Red Classics" "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and have no plans to make it again for the time being!"
