Chapter 362: Suffering Lu Chuan, I, Shen Santong, will bear the blame (23)

Shen Santong felt like he was in his own crew when he was in the "Nanjing" crew.

Help Lu Chuan manage the crew so that he can focus on filming.

Lu Chuan felt that something was wrong: "Director Shen, I appreciate your kindness, but with so many people pulling equipment, your contribution is too great, and I am still bothering you to be in the crew."

Lu Chuan spoke carefully, as she had received confirmed news early in the morning that Lust, Caution had to be withdrawn from theaters, as the man in front of her was too powerful.

He fought all the way and was even more awesome than Jiang Wen.

Shen Santong said: "For domestic films, you have feelings, and I have feelings too!"

A few days passed.

Lu Chuan was cautious at first, but gradually found that it was easier to take pictures.

The team brought by Shen Santong quickly became friends with the "Nanjing" crew.

Moreover, Shen Santong's team is indeed very strong, and the crew management has improved a lot.

The problem he was most worried about, Shen Santong's meddling, did not happen.

Worship, admiration, respect, awe and fear are more effective than his words.

Shen Santong easily took control of the "Nanjing" crew.

But he was in no hurry to do anything.

While studying the script of "Nanjing", I was also observing the direction of "Lust, Caution".

In the previous life, it was also released for a week, but too many people opposed it, so it was taken off the screen.

The media played a trick by not mentioning the audience's opposition and used a Spring and Autumn style of writing to create an image of someone who was wronged.

Shen Santong became a target of attack.

It would be difficult to find an angle to attack Shen Santong if "Lust, Caution" was not released.

Just draw it and it will appear immediately.

He ruined an Oscar-level movie and angrily accused Shen Santong of using his position in the industry and market influence to do evil.

The experts are no longer pretending. Before, they set the pace, criticizing 1 and speeding up to 100.

This matter has become difficult to handle and has become a mess.

In the previous life, I escaped under the guise of art and humanity.

The movie can still sell well at the mainland box office.

The key to escaping was to force the film to be taken off the screen.

Others felt that the film’s withdrawal from theaters highlighted how great Shen Santong was.

However, Shen Santong actually did not support the withdrawal of the film.

This practice has no practical significance and will not harm the producers.

In today's film market, the first week's box office accounts for more than half of the final box office.

The marketing method of "Lust, Caution" accounted for 70% to 80% of the box office in the first week.

It went up for a week and then went down again, and the producers had already made enough money at the box office.

Either don’t let him go, or if you do, just do it openly and see what happens.

Being forced to be taken off the screen actually earned some sympathy points.

Some film experts and authorities called on Shen Santong to apologize.

In some media reports, "Lust, Caution" is more aggrieved than its predecessor.

It was purely because Shen Santong was jealous, an angry young man, and didn't understand art that such an Oscar-level film, directed by someone who had entered the world's art hall, suddenly suffered such misfortune.

This is not finished.

Phoenix produced a program called "Three Generals Going Together".

I did it in my previous life, and it was called “Have you given up on sex?”

Because some simple-minded college students reported this to the relevant departments, hoping that such art and literature would be rectified.

So this issue was created to give him an excuse.

And support your colleagues at the same time.

They have a colleague, Wen Dao, who sarcastically said that when Dongda people watch a play, they always ask whether a character is loyal or treacherous.

Some people pointed out that Wen Dao's views were not able to distinguish right from wrong.

Just like the Olympic champion in later generations who ignored the reporter who wanted to teach her English and was mocked by several reporters during the live broadcast, this group of people holds a grudge.

It just so happened that "Threesome" was talking about "Lust, Caution", and took the opportunity to mock those who criticized their colleagues.

In this life, I also made a program because of Shen Santong.

It seems that the reason why "Lust, Caution" was taken off the screen is because of Shen Santong, but in fact it is to prevent the producers from being held accountable and to prevent the industry from being rectified.

Transplanting flowers and trees, replacing concepts.

Escape from responsibility in the name of art and diversity.

If Shen Santong looks at these things for even a second, he loses. November 11th.

A week later, Lu Chuan saw that Shen Santong had not left yet: "Director Shen, aren't you busy? Are you going to promote Happy Birthday 2?"

Shen Santong sighed and said, "I just tried to avoid the limelight. I said a few truths and stirred up a hornet's nest."

Seeing Shen Santong sigh, Lu Chuan sneered in her heart, thinking that he deserved to be criticized.

He couldn't stand Shen Santong's behavior.

There should be no limit to the pursuit of art.

Shen Santong, who is also a director, took the initiative to hand over the knife.

Lu Chuan said, "Brother, you really need to pay attention. This drama is not as serious as you say. Can you say that there is no such thing in history?"

Shen Santong saw Lu Chuan's embarrassed look and suddenly became angry: "I saw that the shooting plan added a passionate scene. Are you trying to imitate "Lust, Caution"? "

"Do you think this subject is suitable for this kind of work?"

"Lust, Caution" is looking for human nature, and you should also look for human nature.

Shen Santong didn't understand why he couldn't empathize with the suffering Chinese people?

Lu Chuanxin suddenly jumped and reminded: "You can't interfere with my creation!"

“This is my crew, my play!”

Shen Sandong said: "In the play Nanjing, you gave the script's perspective something humane, but the shaping of our perspective obviously couldn't keep up."

"I don't think this is appropriate!"

11 month 21 day.

Shen Santong kept changing the play, but he respected Lu Chuan's opinion: "Director Lu, what do you think of this scene? Should we cancel it?"

"Lu Jianxiong and Jiang Shuyun are not suitable for emotional scenes. Such cold and heavy scenes, coupled with soft emotional scenes, are very tearing."

Lu Chuan pursed her lips.

He looked towards "Kekexili" and followed his photographer Cao Yu.

Then he looked at actor Zhao Yisui, who is also the executive director.

Lu Chuan turned around and looked around. No one said a word, whether in front of or behind the stage.

None of the actors said a word for him.

Lu Chuan's face turned pale, unable to bear it any longer, and he roared, "You've made your own decision, why are you asking me?"

"How many times have you changed the play? Is this still my crew? Am I still the director?"

"Who are you to change my play? I'm the director!"

Everyone on and off the stage was busy with their own work, watching their eyes and noses, their noses and mouths, and their hearts, but their ears were perked up.

This is a struggle between directors and directors.

In the crew, the director is the most important.

Shen Sandong said: "Director Lu, let's just discuss. Let's study the plot and follow whoever makes sense."

"If you disagree with what I said, you should refute me with facts."

“Your debut novel, Looking for a Gun, is a triumph.”

A few people behind the scenes couldn't help but laugh: "Ha."

quite funny.

When Lu Chuan heard "Looking for the Gun", she almost yelled in response: "I won't direct it anymore! You direct it! Go and explain it to Director Han!"

Lu Chuan called Han Sanping on the spot and complained in front of Shen Santong and everyone else: "Boss Han, Shen Santong has sidelined my crew!"

"It's not his play! He keeps interfering with my creations!"

Han Sanping pretended to be puzzled: "Isn't this your team? How did he sideline it?"

Lu Chuan said aggrievedly: "He brought a group of people with him, using promises of the future and sweet words to bewitch people."

Han Sanping asked three questions in a row: "Did the people he brought use up the crew's budget? Did it affect the filming progress? Can the movie be completed on time?"

Lu Chuan was silent: ".He interfered with my creation!"

Han Sanping advised: "Lu Chuan, it is your business to not affect the progress of the film. You should be more open-minded and make good use of Shen Santong's help. He is willing to lend a helping hand and give you money. It is a rare opportunity and it will be good for you."

Lu Chuan listened to the dead tone on the phone, trembling all over, and said sadly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! You Shen Santong are good! Have fun by yourself!"

"I'm going to quit directing!"

"I am the director of Nanjing. You will regret it!"

"I want to see how you, Shen Santong, can continue to have fun without me."

He couldn't accept being sidelined again.

Shen Santong picked up the megaphone and said solemnly, "Director Lu entrusted the crew to me. It's a sign of trust in me. There's nothing to say. I have to live up to this trust."

Let Colonel Lu Chuan suffer, and let Shen Santong bear the blame!
