New Age Artists

Chapter 191 It is not the Chinese who should reflect (13)

Shen Santong systematically explained the historical logic and tone of Red Cliff, and analyzed the problems in the first draft with the editorial team.

Then talk to some of the screenwriters individually.

Shen Santong has come this far, but the screenwriter is still unwilling to accept it, which shows that he is not competent for the job.

Those who are not suitable are transferred away, and a few fresh blood are added to continue working on the second draft.

He plans to use "Red Cliff" to cultivate a team of screenwriters who are united in purpose, confident in their historical perspective, and positive.

Lay the foundation for future historical series.

Then we continued on our way.

We also communicated and negotiated with different teams including art, special effects and location shooting.

The special effects of "Red Cliff" are huge, and four domestic computer special effects companies are involved, including his China Painting Company.

Almost all domestic companies with some technical capabilities are included in the sweep.

Hollywood companies will also be involved.

Shen Santong can be said to have demonstrated the value of united front work.

The united front value of foreign capital.

Originally he didn't want to use a Hollywood special effects company, but they saw that he was determined to do it himself.

Moreover, the pace is very steady and steady, so it is possible to succeed.

Take the initiative to reach out immediately.

Talk, you can talk.

Shen Santong sighed, thinking that if it were 18 or 20 years later, he would definitely be banned.

Black PR may make a lot of noise, but it’s not taken too seriously; it’s just the power of public opinion.

The power of industry and government has not been fully unleashed.

In the final analysis, from car manufacturers to Hollywood companies, the industry is a little wary and nervous about Shen Santong, but it cannot be said that they are afraid.

They are still at a stage of confidence.

In 05, there was no such word as "involution", and competition was not stigmatized.

At this time, the West has the competitive advantage.

In terms of public opinion, it is completely opposite to that of later generations.

There is no strange theory that allowing Tokyo University to enter the WTO is a gift from the United States.

The current era is one of freedom, new freedom, and social Darwinism is extremely prevalent.

The original intention of the West in allowing Tokyo to join the WTO was to allow cheap goods from Europe, America and Japan to overwhelm Tokyo's local industries and turn Tokyo into a dumping market for Western industrial products.

No one cares about the rights of workers at the University of Tokyo.

In 05, it was not an overtime issue, but a physical injury issue.

In textile factories, garment factories and other types of factories, hundreds or even thousands of fingers are pinched off every year.

Various production accidents are common, and many people die every year.

Some jobs in chemical plants, pharmaceutical factories, building materials processing plants, coal mines, etc. can cause physical harm to people.

This is already a greatly improved result.

Going back further, in the 80s and 90s, thousands or even tens of thousands of fingers were severed every year.

There is no stigma on involutionary competition because nowadays, the blood and sweat of the University of Tokyo are being used to improve the lives of Europeans and Americans.

Endless clothes to wear and endless toys to play with!
An inexhaustible variety of products.

People won’t scold you!
The reason why later generations are engaged in internal circulation and overproductivity is because they cannot eat the flesh and blood of Tokyo University.

It became the case that Dongda exported high-tech products in exchange for raw materials from Europe and America.

A pound of beef costs less than twenty yuan.

See how the benefits of TNU’s development translate into your own living standards.

They are all country bumpkins who don't work for their master, but can show off their stir-fried beef every day. It's really breaking my defense.

But at the moment, Omi in 05 is still very confident.

Considering that Hollywood's production level is indeed high, Shen Santong plans to send several batches of domestic personnel to Hollywood to study.

I definitely can’t learn the most advanced things, but what I learned ten years ago is enough.

Of course, it is not free, there is a price, and it is very high.

Not only are the tuition fees high, but we also have to subcontract projects to them.

However, the "Red Cliff" project is huge, and "Red Cliff" is just the beginning, so Shen Santong has sufficient bargaining chips.

I plan to learn a classic case of high-speed rail negotiations and truly exchange market for technology.

The "Red Cliff" project is Shen Santong's third theatrical film.

Logically speaking, you should be familiar with the process.

But it was the most tiring film in my career.

The difficulty of creating literary scripts alone.

Even with "Records of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the basis, there are still obstacles at every step.

Every level is sad.

It's more tiring than shooting supermarkets and birthday parties combined.

From the perspective of paper profits, it doesn't seem to be cost-effective.

The time it takes to make "Red Cliff" is enough to make two or three comedies.

He can invest in a low-budget comedy on his own and doesn't have to make too much money.

But as he got deeper into the "Red Cliff" project, Shen Santong decided to do it well.

Not to mention 05, even twenty years later, many Chinese people still lack the basic awareness of being citizens of a great country.

From a personal perspective, there is nothing wrong with reflection.

But public opinion always starts from the big social and national level, making people reflect.

It's not as simple as just having a problem.

It's so sick!
Always trying to please others.

Japan massacred 30 million people. As a victim looking at history, shouldn’t we be angry?

BenZi’s cosmetics products are so good. Where did the initial accumulation of its biological and medical advantages come from?

It comes from human experiments on Tokyo University students!
Isn’t it legitimate and reasonable for the people of Dongda University to be angry?
To this day, the toilet shrine is still worshipped.

Temples dedicated to war criminals are still visited by many people all over Japan.

It's your notebook that you should reflect on!
Shen Santong wants to show a vibrant spirit in "Red Cliff".

initiative.

It is only natural to fight for one's own interests!

The brilliance of "Let the Bullets Fly" is not just its historical reflection.

It has an active masculine temperament that is rare in Chinese films.

There are many cowardly perspectives in domestic films.

It gives people a feeling of castration and impotence.

It is full of the hesitations of petty literati, young intellectuals, and bourgeoisie, lacking any vitality. Shen Santong wants to do something different in Red Cliff.

Fighting for one's own interests is not only not shameful, but glorious.

Fighting is fun!
Fighting does not need meaning, fighting itself is the meaning.

Men want to fight!
Be strong, win, and make the rules.

As it should.

If you don't eliminate the remaining war criminals yourself, Dongda will help you.

You're welcome. After all, the University of Tokyo doesn't target ordinary Japanese people, but only the remnants of the empire.

what?
You are all.

That's no problem.

It's just that the work is a little bit heavier.

Older Chinese people should have this kind of awareness and sense of responsibility.

Don’t always expect others to offer themselves to you. If the mountain doesn’t come to me, I will take the initiative to go to the mountain.

After all, looking back, facing the great flood, not only did it not moisten the land, but it gave birth to Dayu's spirit of flood control.

Cutting mountains and filling the sea, fighting against heaven and earth, is the greatest romance of the Chinese people.

Of course, the filming of "Red Cliff" with this spirit caused more public opinion than Supermarket and Birthday.

It's not that Shen Santong made a movie and made it seem like he was the enemy of the world, like he was the savior.

But some people who have been kneeling for a long time not only feel uncomfortable kneeling themselves, but also cannot accept others standing.

Shen Santong pushed forward the progress of various matters related to "Red Cliff" and had other ideas.

"Red Cliff" has many links, including investment, script, casting, props, scenes, special effects, etc., and the cycle takes two to three years.

Shen Santong thought about it and called the assistant team.

Make a project list for the next few years and sort out future work arrangements.

It is also a future arrangement.

The number of film projects is maintained at one per year.

06 Stone.

07 "Happy Birthday 2".

"Red Cliff" in 08.

09 "Red Cliff 2" and "Lost on Journey".

Maybe in 08 or 09, there will be the third part of the Crazy Series, "Crazy Racing".

While Shen Santong was working on "Red Cliff", he also made at most one more "Happy Birthday 2".

"Happy Birthday 2" can be made because it is the first sequel in film history and everyone is looking forward to it.

Other film projects cannot be done.

The 400 million investment in "Red Cliff" is no joke.

You have to be responsible to your investors, but you can't damage your own reputation.

Shen Santong could be a producer or investor.

But directing a blockbuster while also double-teaming another, almost original film project simply doesn’t make sense.

Of course, Shen Santong doesn't want to make too many movies.

The market is too small, so one film a year will be enough to cultivate the market.

Show your presence.

Tell the audience that Shen Santong doesn't just want to eat ready-made food.

He and Chinese films have progressed together.

Sharing hardships together is a sign of seniority.

In the next three to four years, "Red Cliff" and "Happy Birthday 2" alone will not be able to satisfy Shen Santong's needs.

He has a lot of energy.

So I plan to dabble in TV dramas.

TV dramas are good for promoting people and making use of their faces, and are more effective than regular movies.

I take charge of a TV series every year and also try to invest in it.

"Soldier Assault" in 06, "Proud Boy" in 07, and "My Girlfriend is a Big Star" in 08.

Needless to say, "Soldier Assault" was a phenomenal hit.

"Proud Boy" is intended to be an idol drama modeled after "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together".

It certainly doesn’t taste like “Let’s Watch Meteor Shower Together”, and it will also avoid the copyright of the comic “Meteor Garden”.

"My Girlfriend is a Superstar" is also an idol drama, a gender-reversed version of "Full House".

Try idol dramas, it doesn’t matter if you fail, just consider it as gaining experience.

Idol dramas have always had a market.

Both modern and ancient idol dramas are enduring themes in TV dramas.

When it comes to idol dramas in Korea, Wanwan is quite strong, and Shen Santong wants to give it a try.

Inject his Shen Santong flavor into idol dramas.

The private goods are definitely not as good as the movies, but there are still a lot.

Shen Santong also has some long-term plans.

I just didn't tell anyone else.

After accumulating experience, he plans to make "My Love from the Star", "Descendants of the Sun" and "Goblin" to create Asian superstars.

Korean dramas basically have to be modified.

The marketing is so powerful that it is not easy to implement.

The biggest contribution is to prove that big-money marketing works and that audiences from all over the world are buying into the idol drama genre.

Shen Santong never thought of becoming internationally famous. The so-called international is just a Western definition.

Shen Santong, who was reborn in the future, did not have this obsession, and he was also very clear about what the so-called international was.

G8 only.

Or even worse than G8.

The general work arrangements should be sorted out with the assistant team, and more detailed work needs to be split up.

After a day-long meeting, Shen Santong left work.

Exercise in the evening.

Engage in ice and snow sports.

After the issue with Guo Biting was resolved, many pure friends wanted to have some discussions.

This doesn't count as breaking the rules, it's the old rules for the elderly.

If you are not a newcomer, it doesn’t count.
