This director is very reliable

Chapter 716 Doubts (13)

Rue Petite Champlain, Quebec.

Most of the houses on the street have been turned into exquisite handicraft shops, a small street full of romantic feelings. Walking on this cobbled alley, you can see various unique shops, beautiful windows, retro Balconies, and even street performers!
Definitely a great location for a romantic movie.

Well, professional habits...

However, walking in such a scene is indeed a lot of joy.

Shi Shi liked this place very much. The two walked for several hours. She asked curiously, "How did you know about this place?"

"Recommended by the photography team..."

"Camera crew?"

Shen Changlin explained: "I told them that they want fairytale-like beauty, preferably with maple trees and snow... They arrived in Quebec, and then took pictures for me, saying this place..."

"... How long will "Ghost" be filmed?"

"Almost a month..."

"Another month?"

"30 episodes!"

Shi Shi was noncommittal, and the two found a dessert shop and sat down to rest.

Shen Changlin suddenly remembered something: "I heard that during World War II, Britain was weak and was planning to relocate collectively to Canada to continue the war of resistance..."

"so what?"

"I just said it casually..."

It's really just a casual mention...

Shen Changlin suddenly thought of Meng Wanzhou, and then thought that the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are all English-speaking countries with Anglo-Saxon descendants...

Shi Shi changed the subject: "Baoqiang invited me to film "Havoc in Tianzhu"! Do you think I will go or not?"

Shen Changlin asked casually: "... lead role or friendship guest role?"

"If it's a cameo, I don't need to tell you!"

"The script is terrible?"

"...the script is fine, but the character given to me doesn't match my usual image..."

Another point is that Shi Shi doesn't really believe in Baoqiang's directing skills...

Shen Changlin nodded: "Then don't answer it."

Shi Shi frowned: "Baoqiang just encountered something, I won't answer...isn't that good?"

"...What's so good about this? You're an actor, and the criteria for accepting a show is that the script and the characters attract you... "Havoc in Tianzhu" has neither..."

"Then why should I refuse?"

"Just say you don't have a schedule!"

"But I have a schedule..." Shi Shi finally said his purpose: "You can arrange a movie for me!"

Shen Changlin was surprised: "Don't you have your own channel?"

Shi Shi has a good relationship with many directors, Su Lun, Yao Tingting, including the team of Yu Miao and Li Xiao.

"..."I'm Carrying My Heart" is what I found, and the market performance is very bad!"

Shen Changlin was a little speechless: "What's wrong? Didn't you make money?"

The final box office of "Carrying the Heart and the Brain" was 4.8 million yuan, compared to the cost of less than 2000 million yuan - advertising placement and business replacement, it has already made a lot of money!

And because the leading actors are two top florets, the online copyright is also sold at a high price.

"But our previous forecast was at least [-] million!"

"So?" Shen Changlin said earnestly: "Film investment is a very risky thing, and it is not easy to pay back..."

"But you gave Liu Qianqian a copy of "Wu Shuang"!"

"...That's a Hong Kong movie. You should understand the heroine of a Hong Kong movie..." After a pause, Shen Changlin added: "Liu Qianqian has failed in two consecutive movies. If I don't make a move, her commercial value will decrease. Now, this is not in line with our original intention of investing in her!"

"Do you dare to say that you have no selfish intentions?"

"Selfishness?" Shen Changlin stared wide-eyed, met Shi Shi's eyes with an innocent face, and asked back: "...what selfishness can I have?"

"... "

Shi Shi was at a loss for words, and simply gave up: "Let's go, let's continue shopping!"

"Okay, in fact, I have been paying attention to the scenes that suit you..."

……

Old Quebec is full of castles, churches...

The two visited art galleries, churches and castles for a whole afternoon.

"Why do you think these people want to build a castle?"

"This involves the power structure of medieval Europe. It's very complicated. Are you sure you want to listen?"

"Forget it..." Shi Shi shook his head: "Let's go, we should go back to the hotel!"

Why are castles popular in Europe?
Medieval Europe was ruled by lords. Wars often broke out between lords due to conflicts and developments. The result of such wars was often the destruction or weakening of the family, and the most important situation was the attack on the core members of the family.

Therefore, the lord usually focuses on preserving the power of the family. In this case, the scale of the war is generally small, and the castle is obviously more suitable.

We are different. The typical feature of ancient Chinese wars is the mutual attack between regimes. This kind of war makes the result of the war no longer the survival of a family, but the destruction of the entire country, and the most important situation is It is a siege.

Therefore, we are building more cities...

Get in the car and go to the hotel.

Shi Shi asked again: "Why did you say "Carry Your Heart, Carry Your Courage" failed at the box office?"

"...where did it fail?"

Shen Changlin became a little angry: "I told you, this project is profitable."

"Don't be angry..." Shi Shi smiled and grabbed his shoulders: "I mean, we predicted at least [-] million before the movie was released...but the audience just didn't buy it..."

"...on what basis did you draw your conclusions?"

"The cast and the movie itself."

Shen Changlin said patiently: "From the perspective of the theme, is there a precedent for this theme of Northeast rural comedy? No, right? As for the cast... is it important?"

"Sister Mi and I should be invincible!"

"Then the box office of "Dream Partner" is less than [-] million!"

"Her is a bad movie!"

"Mediocre movies and bad movies are not within the viewing range of ordinary movie fans!"

After a pause, Shen Changlin added: "Now is the time when content is king. It doesn't matter what movie or lineup, even if the little fresh meat gathers together, if the work is bad, it won't be a hit if it doesn't sell."

Liu Shishi pouted.

It's not that she doesn't believe in her man, it's just that she feels a little exaggerated...

I stopped dwelling on this topic, but thought of something: "I heard from Zhao Shan that Tianxia Entertainment also went to Hong Kong to contact China Star Films?"

"That's right... China Star owns a lot of film and television adaptation rights for Jin Yong's works!"

"...The result?"

"The result is that they broke up..."

Shi Xerox said, "Sister Shan complained to me, what happened?"

Shen Changlin rolled his eyes: "They want us to join "Legend of the Gods"...to be a joint production..."

"You want us to help them promote?"

"Not only publicity, but also money, and... "Legend of the Gods" and "Yaobai" will be released on the same day. If we want to do it, we must change the file of "Yaobai"..."

Of course Shen Changlin didn't do it. After watching the sample of "Legend of the Conferred Gods", Zhao Shan was scared away...

It sucks!
As for the copyright... think of a way.

Anyway, the film and television adaptation rights are limited...
