Chapter 103 "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix": "The Promise" and "A Chinese Odyssey" (13)

Gao Yuanyuan felt that Shen Santong was so close to her, physically.

But it seems so far away, both psychologically and professionally.

Can I marry someone like this?

No matter what, at this moment, Gao Yuanyuan just wanted to seize this morning.

With a sudden turn, Tangyuan rolled over and chose to take the initiative to attack.

Gao Yuanyuan lay there with a dull look in her eyes, while Shen Santong went out feeling refreshed.

China Film.

We need to push forward with real business.

Discuss the release schedule of "Happy Birthday" with Han Sanping.

The movie hasn’t been edited yet, not even the rough cut has been completed, but good release dates are limited, especially those that can support high box office sales.

"The preliminary release dates for some films that haven't been released this year." Han Sanping handed Shen Santong a piece of paper.

Shen Santong took it and looked through it.

The information about movie releases that Han Sanping can get is far more accurate than his.

All films released in China must have someone from China Film Group listed as the producer or producer, so their influence is unquestionable.

Han Sanping explained to Shen Santong: "During the summer vacation, the month of protection for domestic films, there are three strong films: Initial D, Seven Swords, and Myth."

Shen Santong had heard of it a long time ago, and he had also seen it in his previous life.

Of course, if we look at it now, it is not quite the same as it was in later times.

"Initial D" is an animated series adapted from the racing manga of the same name created by Shuichi Shigeno. It is directed by Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui, and starred by Yu Wenle, Chen·Photographer Guan Xi, and Zhou Jielun.

People in later generations would give Zhou Jielun the first place in the film's ranking.

But for now, he can't make the list.

Liu Weiqiang and Mak Chiu Fai previously co-directed "Infernal Affairs", which was regarded as the savior of Hong Kong's film market, and the publicity was also aimed at continuing the classic.

Yu Wenle and Chen Guanxi from "Infernal Affairs" also appeared in "Initial D", and Zhou Jielun ranked after them.

Zhou Jie discusses the team’s usual operations.

Because the future is more popular than the people of the time, the past is occupied as well, modifying the timeline.

"Seven Swords".

This is Xu Ke's new film, his masterpiece after the bankrupt "The Legend of Zu". If it fails again, he can only make a low-budget film, and a big investment will not be possible for at least a few years.

"The Myth" is directed by Tang Jili and starred by Jackie Chan, and is also a strong film.

"The Hong Kong team has no problem beating other directors, but they are vulnerable in front of my films. They don't understand what our audience likes."

Shen Santong watched it once, thought about it, and thought that there shouldn't be a movie that made over 100 million yuan. He commented: "My film will be finished in mid-May. Even if there are no special effects, post-production will take one or two months. It will be finished in August or September. The summer vacation is too tight, so it can't be released. It will be the Lunar New Year holiday."

Han Sanping was almost numb immediately. This kid was so arrogant: "Be more modest. There are two strong films "The Promise" and "The Love Eterne" in the Lunar New Year period."

After Han Sanping finished speaking, he immediately noticed that Shen Santong's mouth was almost unable to suppress his smile.

The recoil is even more exaggerated than that of the AK47.

When Shen Santong heard "The Promise" and "The Love Sage", he almost couldn't hold it in.

Two epic, super bad movies.

"The Promise" is so delicious that no further explanation is needed.

Presents two classic sketches in film history.

"A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun", and Chen Kaige's "People Can't Be So Shameless".

"The Promise" is one of those films where Chen Kaige carefully picks out the emotions deep in his heart that he cares about very much.

Share it with the audience. But the audience went to watch it with the expectation of something earth-shattering: it turned out to be a trivial matter.

The reason why "Mantou" became popular is that it fills in Chen Kai's fragmented logic.

Bring back a fart.

It is normal to have emotions. Cultural and creative work can easily fall into the trap of working in isolation and pursuing idealism, especially for successful people.

Shen Santong also had some emotions after filming the supermarket.

That is "Tu Tu Apartment", but after an online investigation, I listened to the advice and changed it.

Besides, even if we take the photo, the cost will only be one or two million, and it will be more of an exploration of digital technology.

The investment in "The Promise" is huge.

But compared to "The Great Saint", "The Promise" is a lightweight player.

"The Monkey King" is actually "The Crazed Monkey King", which is under the guise of "A Chinese Odyssey", directed by Liu Zhenwei, and starring Xie Tingfeng, Cai Zhuoyan, Fan Bingbing and others.

The only Cantonese theme song is so bad that it is hard to find even on the Internet. It is a complete money-making work.

The pictures of "The Promise" are good after all, and Chen Kaige is qualified as a director.

If you find a good screenwriter and reduce the pretentiousness of reciting poetry, you can make a good movie.

"A Chinese Odyssey" is pure garbage. Shen Santong only feels sorry for those audiences who were deceived into going to the cinema because of the nostalgia for "A Chinese Odyssey".

The audience of this era is so miserable.

"During the Lunar New Year period, my film can crush both films into pieces."

Shen Santong was eager to try.

Before marketing the three major directors, the reason why Shen Santong was confident in making the marketing a reality was because of Chen Kaige's "The Promise".

But at that time, Shen Santong wanted to lend a hand to Chen Kai, and to play a hero-respecting-another drama with Chen Kai to make up for the qualifications he lacked the most.

Create the four great commercial directors and secure your status.

Plans cannot keep up with changes, and it is more valuable to rise to the top by explosively defeating "The Promise".

Han Sanping was shocked: "What are you doing? Why don't you think highly of these two movies? Are they worse than the three movies in the summer season?"

Han Sanping doesn’t care about “A Chinese Odyssey”, he cares about “The Promise”.

This is the first of his blockbuster projects.

"I don't need to watch "A Chinese Odyssey", it's just a money-making rubbish movie, Hong Kong filmmakers have no ethics."

Shen Santong pondered for a moment and said, "As for The Promise, it all depends on whether Chen Kaige can find a good screenwriter. If not, it will definitely be terrible. He is too arrogant and pretentious. To put it bluntly, it is just a pathetic and ridiculous thing of the petty bourgeoisie. It's ok for him to enjoy it, but it's pure torture for the audience to watch it."

Shen Santong looked at Han Sanping and asked, "With such a huge investment in The Promise, you must have found a good editor for Director Chen. You can't just let him do whatever he wants, right?"

Han Sanping's face became interesting.

All kinds of emotions surged, all kinds of thoughts rolled around, and finally, he uttered a sentence: "Are you really that pessimistic?"

"You really didn't find a screenwriter for Director Chen. Damn, you are too careless."

Shen Santong asked even though he knew the answer, just for fun.

Seeing that Han Sanping was getting a little nervous, and fearing that he would get angry, he quickly comforted him: "There will definitely be box office success. Our audience group is not mature yet. To put it bluntly, it's just a rumor. Director Chen can do it."

Shen Santong admires Han Sanping very much for making the domestic film industry popular.

In 14, when he retired, domestic films had achieved box office revenues of billions.

This achievement was achieved with a group of insects and strange species.

But admiration aside, it doesn't affect his ability to have fun.
