Chapter 922 Night Talk (33)

Shen Changlin actually doesn’t understand why “Journey to the West, My Country” was made!

Still spent 500 million?

From the IP perspective of Journey to the West, "Land of Women" should not be filmed either.

The reason why Journey to the West is recognized as an inexhaustible treasure in the Chinese film industry is of course the Monkey King, the Monkey King!

Not to mention Tang Sanzang, even the other three masters and disciples plus the King of the Daughter Kingdom, plus those impressive fairies on the westward journey, the combined public favorability and national popularity of these characters cannot compare to Sun Wukong!

Why was "The Kingdom of Women" filmed?

Moreover, both the publicity and the movie itself directly marginalized Monkey King!

There are so many themes to choose from: "The True and False Monkey King", "The Three Monsters of Shituoling"...

There is another point that is not in-depth. After the four masters and disciples escaped from the prison, they accidentally drank water from the Zimu River, causing the four of them to become pregnant.

In previous versions, after Tang Seng became pregnant, she was frightened and anxious, fearing that a man would mess up his ethics by giving birth to a baby.

There is a very conspicuous setting in the movie: after Sun Wukong arrives at the Rebirth Spring, he meets the Immortal Ruyi...

Immortal Ruyi asked him: You said you went to the Western Heaven to save all sentient beings, but is the fetus in your belly not a sentient being?

Why is the fetus in the belly not a living being?

This sentence can actually be discussed in depth!

You know, most of the past works of "Journey to the West", including the 1986 edition, hardly realized the evil nature of abortion.

In fact, there is a saying in Buddhism: All living beings and all things are equal.

Human life, bird life, insect life, and flower life are all equally important.

Especially Tang Monk, how could Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty not understand that the fetus is also a life?

The handling of the movie... There is no handling, a conversation that is neither awkward nor embarrassing, and the actor Pan Binlong plays the role of the Immortal Ruyi, the movie is heading towards an awkward direction...

You can't say that the screenwriter has no ideas. At the end of the movie, when he is saving the river god, Tang Monk suddenly realizes: There is no difference between loving one person and loving all living beings. The existence of one person is the same world.

The fetus in the belly and the great cause of menstruation are equally important.

There is no difference between loving a person and loving a group.

But... maybe for the sake of market, a bunch of so-called big scene fight scenes were added abruptly...

A movie that could have been good suddenly turned into one with the worst reputation!

If you follow the direction of "Love Tribulation", the cost will be more than 100 million at most. With the foundation of the previous film and the participation of so many celebrities, you are guaranteed to make money...

The failure of "The Kingdom of Women" is doomed!

Not only do you want to express yourself, but you also want to please the boss, and you also want to cater to the audience. It’s all in your hands. In the end, not only does it have no priority, it doesn’t even look like a whole.

As for Xiao Zhao...

It doesn't matter whether her performance is good or not, what's important is that "Land of Women" did fail!

Since then, I have never received a movie again!

And judging from her current age and celebrity status, it is quite difficult for her team and the film crew to consider cost-effectiveness, role, etc., to find a suitable movie.

Should she take over the country of her daughter?

Nonsense, only a fool would miss such a resource...

…

When Shi Shi came back, he was in poor spirits.

But after she took a shower, she was in good condition.

Shen Changlin was helping her blow dry her hair, and the latter suddenly thought of something: "Are you surprised that Xiao Zhao actually contacted me?"

"Which Xiao Zhao?"

"Zhao Liying!"

Shen Changlin hurriedly answered: "Ah? She also contacted me!"

"...What did I ask you?"

"I didn't ask anything. Even if she wanted to talk to me about "The Kingdom of Women"... I ignored her!"

Shi Shi nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said: "You are still young, and you think you can make a fortune based on your popularity... Without the resources of the company, you fell down hard!"

"What's wrong? According to you, she wants to go back to the company?"

"Unlikely,"

Shi Shi shook his head: "She is now cooperating with Huang Bin and signed a two-year contract..."

The film industry is all about personal connections, and it's complicated and divided into circles in Beijing and Shanghai, and to be honest, the film industry and the television industry are separate, and the two circles don't blend in at all.

In the past few years, Internet platforms have emerged, and people spend money to buy dramas. Otherwise, it would be impossible for those first-line actors to appear in dramas!

Except for Ziweixing, who has worked with great directors along the way, such as Zhang Ziyi, most of them first became popular through TV and then appeared in movies. Because a certain drama won the favor of other directors, they gained more and more awards. Film resources…

There is an element of luck involved, but strength is the fundamental reason. Without professional ability, it is impossible to be recognized by the film industry little by little, and it is impossible to complete the roles well every time.

Looking back at Xiao Zhao, her movies are basically commercial movies, and her performance in commercial movies is not outstanding, and her movies are also lackluster...

The failure of "Land of Women" basically ended the film route...

"And the fan base is still there. Acting in TV series can easily earn tens of millions..."

"By the way, I remembered something!"

Speaking of Xiao Zhao, Shen Changlin suddenly thought of "Know or Not", so he said: "There is a good drama series called "Know or Not, Know whether it should be green, fat, red and thin" over at Noon Sunshine. Do you want to try it? ?”

"..."Do you know"? Okay, I'll try it!"

"Perform it well and show off your skills. This drama should win an award!"

"Magnolia?"

"Why don't you talk about Feitian?"

Shi Shi was a little dissatisfied: "I took the Magnolia one!"

"...Twice popular actress..."

"I hit you!"

"…I was wrong!"

Shen Changlin apologized obediently, and Shi Shi indeed won Magnolia twice - the most popular heroine in the Internet voting, respectively for "Step by Step" and "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom"!

These two awards...Baidu Encyclopedia has a separate column: Others...

But Ling Ling from "The First Half of My Life" should be nominated!

If you put it into operation, it won’t be a big problem to get a prize!

Shen Changlin is already in operation - "Thirty Only" is broadcast on Dragon TV...

However, the heroine of "Only Thirty" should forget it. After winning this award, why is she just becoming a laughing stock?

The award Shen Changlin mentioned for "Do You Know" was actually the Golden Eagle Award...

It can be regarded as helping my girlfriend win a prize...

…

After blow-drying their hair, the two returned to the bedroom, where Shi Shi leaned in his arms and played with his mobile phone...

“Douyin is really interesting, but it wastes too much time!”

"...Short videos are a waste of time..." Shen Changlin looked over and asked: "Why are you watching the young lady dance?"

"I think it's interesting!"

"Interesting... you can dance too."

"I'm not going to dance... Hey, they said Douyin spent 1 billion to promote it? Is it true?"

Oh, this refers to Douyin’s crazy spending of one billion yuan during the Spring Festival, various advertising, and then the daily active users increased from 20 million to 60 million!

Shen Changlin was surprised: "Yes, are you still paying attention to this?"

"After all, it's something you invested in... I heard that Douyin's competitor is Kuaishou?"

"...Wow, you even know this?"

Shi Shi rolled his eyes: "...I'm also good at surfing the Internet, okay!"

Shen Changlin smiled: "Don't worry, you will know how powerful Douyin is today next year!"

"They said that if you didn't make movies, you would be richer than you are now? Is that true?"
Chapter completed!
