This director is very reliable

Chapter 755 There are always people who want to harm me?
""Eight Hundred" is so good, why didn't you find me?"

"Mainly because you are too expensive..."

I can't just say that Deng Chao is not suitable for "Eight Hundred" without conscience...

Deng Chao's movie journey started with "Assembly", and he played soldiers from the beginning.

"Besides, "Eight Hundred" was my idea for filming "Our Victory". The actors used are basically the actors of "Our Victory". It can be regarded as compensation..."

Shen Changlin still admires Deng Chao.

Otherwise, "Embroidered Spring Knife" wouldn't have looked for him back then!
Back then, when Hong Kong and Taiwan stars dominated the mainstream, no matter the big screen or the small screen, the place of origin determined the position.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" suddenly came out...

Then there was "The Thief", with Deng Chao playing the leading role.

Since when did the two stop cooperating very much?
It should be that Deng Chao established his own company Orange Image, which is very close to the light, while Shen Changlin is getting farther and farther away from the light...

Then it's so natural that I don't have much contact!
Didn't even tell him the private number...

Deng Chao rolled his eyes: "You asked me to make a movie, do you still need to talk about the salary?"

"...Let's just give those unpopular actors a chance."

"Eight Hundred" starring, Wang Lei, Wang Qianyuan, Zhu Yuwen, including those fast men, are not very popular

No way, high-quality resources are all occupied...

Especially Wang Lei, what a good actor, he can only act in anti-Japanese war dramas and period dramas...

For example, Hawick Lau, a Hong Kong actor with mediocre acting skills, is even a fourth-tier unknown actor on TVB in Hong Kong. No…

After a few bitter dramas, all the ones I get are Mango Channel exclusive dramas!
This is a situation that Jin Dong and Wang Kai could not get in the early days.

……

Find a place, sit down and chat.

Shen Changlin is still a very nostalgic person, he can feel that Deng Chao is a little flustered...

After sitting down, Shen Changlin first asked about the sequel of "The Mermaid", and Deng Chao said directly: "Anyway, I haven't received any invitation..."

"...Is there a project for 'Mermaid 2'?"

"Yes... don't I get annoyed if I let the easter eggs go!"

"All right…"

It was Shen Changlin who was too lazy to argue with him——after "Journey to the West" failed at the box office, Ari Films and Wu Yifan ended their cooperation...

"Journey to the West" double king lineup, if the box office is less than 3 billion, it is a failure!
As for The Mermaid 2...

How to put it, anyway, as of 2022, this movie will not be released. At the beginning, it was said that it was because it was in the later stage. In the world film industry, except for Cameron's "Avatar" in Hollywood, who is there in Chinese movies and what kind of movies will be made? One year, two years, three years or even four years later?

Later, the reason was given: choose the right schedule...

Even if there is a suitable schedule, Master Xing is no longer at the center of the film industry.

"The Mermaid", "Journey to the West" and "The New King of Comedy", three works in a row have overdrawn the credibility of the audience...

Everyone can't run away from time or the times.

You will always be thrown away and fall by the side of the road when you are powerless or you have not intended to do so...

On the side of the sinking boat, thousands of sails are racing.

In front of the diseased tree, thousands of trees compete for spring.

This is the case with personnel, eternal cycle.

The two chatted for a while, Zhou Xingxing, and Deng Chao suddenly asked: "Is "The Villainous Angel" really a bad movie?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "...Well, it sucks!"

"But when our drama version was performed in the theater, the audience's cheers almost overturned the entire theater!"

"I believe…"

Just like "Cuihua, Serve Sauerkraut", this drama is extremely vulgar, women's clothing, nose picking and so on, the style is farce, a group of people are extremely exaggerated and at the same time their IQ is below the line, the jokes are very embarrassing...

But if you are really on the scene, you will burst into laughter!
Because you really enjoy watching stupid people suffer, and with the amplifying effect of the theater, you laugh along with it.

"but…"

"Can you tell me what is the main plot line of "Villain Angel"?"

Before Deng Chao could speak, Shen Changlin said to himself: "... I guess the staff around you are praising this movie, right?"

"…right."

"Your current situation is a bit like Mr. Chen back then, please pay more attention!"

"Teacher Chen?"

"Director Chen...the one who made "The Promise"!" Shen Changlin recalled what Ning Hao said before: "Ning Hao said that the biggest problem with director Chen Kai is that he lost his judgment...and he is very conceited and firmly believes in what he made. There is no problem with the stuff...Old Chen started out making literary and artistic films, he has his own expression, he can think whatever he wants, but you are making comedies, the audience is the most convincing, you don't believe the audience's judgment?"

After being in a high position, especially in the entertainment industry, it is easy to have the illusion that there are always bad guys who want to harm me.

That's why Deng Lun suspected that the tax official who called them for the first time was a liar...

That's why they feel that privileges such as education and establishment are at their fingertips...

It seems quite bluffing to have an extra Xueba persona and a boyfriend in the system.

As for public opinion...

What a fart, that's called gangsters!

Cough cough, pulling it back, Deng Chao was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "...I was smeared in an organized way before..."

"...This thing is the same as..."

Just about to continue the chat, the phone rang, it was Ah Mou...

Shen Changlin simply shut up, thought for a while, and said, "Go, go see Director A Mou."

"Mou?"

"He has two books in his hand, "Above the Cliff" and "Shadow"...both men's dramas!"

……

Mou really has unlimited energy.

Three projects in hand, "Su Dongpo", "Above the Cliff", "Shadow"...

He is very satisfied now, Changlin Film and Television is responsive to him, and he can shoot almost any subject matter he wants.

Don't think about market returns or anything.

People have been making movies all their lives, so they still need to consider the market?

He told Shen Changlin very frankly: "I guess Venice will not give me any more awards, but only four more... This is not in line with their process. After all, three golden lions have already set a record."

"Big Buddha" won the third Golden Lion Award...

Shen Changlin was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said: "...Actually, there are two award-winning films in North America that are also going to compete in Venice, and one of them is called "La La Land". The shooting technique is very classic and the colors are amazing... It is estimated that it can win the Golden Lion Award, and there is also a "A Man Called Ove Decided to Die", starring Tom Hanks, we are aiming at the best actor..."

A Mou was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Can Hollywood movies win the Venice Golden Lion Award?"

Shen Changlin explained: "Now the Venice Film Festival has followed Hollywood's lead, voluntarily becoming the vanguard of the awards season... There is no way, the pressure from the Toronto Film Festival is too great!"

Deng Chao interjected curiously: "Is there still a fight at the film festival?"

"Of course, the Toronto Film Festival is held close to the Venice Film Festival..."
