In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

Shen Xudong is such a shameless boss...

Take projects like his dad and let his subordinates complete them, that's how you call yourself a boss!

Well, that's just a small boss, commonly known as a contractor...

It is said that after going to college, Shen Xudong communicated more with his father...

We had exchanges before, and they basically just said, ‘Dad, where is my mother? ’

I don’t know why, but after going to college, Shen Xudong was willing to share many things with his father, including getting a lot of royalties from his own writing...

For example, now: "You don't have to pay me for living expenses anymore!"

"...Do you have enough money?"

"Although the food in the school cafeteria is not delicious, it won't kill anyone... It doesn't cost much to buy clothes. Life is definitely enough!"

"You made 6,000 yuan in two months?"

"Almost... Anyway, I'm saving five thousand... I'm going to save for another month and then buy a computer!"

"How much difference?"

"About two thousand..."

"Let me make it up for you!"

Shen Xudong hurriedly said: "No, I will buy it myself..."

Shen Mingguang's tone on the other end of the phone was a little low: "My son has grown up and doesn't want my money anymore!"

"...Okay, just give me...two thousand!"

"Okay... Going home on New Year's Day?"

"Let's talk about it...I'll tell you something."

Shen Xudong talked about the third brother in the dormitory who was going to write a review of Jin Yong's martial arts characters in his name, and asked by the way: "Do you think this method is reliable?"

"It's hard to say whether it's reliable or not, but if it's compiled and published in the future, how will this account be calculated?"

"Publish a book? All we write are reviews..."

Shen Mingguang shook his head: "What if? Who owns the copyright?"

"...belongs to me? After all, the name is used..."

"Then let's be clear. Brothers will settle the score. You have to take into account many things!"

"It won't happen..."

"Can you judge what will happen next?"

"Okay, okay, let me tell them..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong was a little confused...

Just as he was about to speak, something suddenly occurred to him - anyone can comment on martial arts characters, and there is no such thing as copyright. If we insist on copyright, then the copyright should also belong to Jin Yong!

Of course dad does it for his own good, but...he may not know this kind of thing!

…

The days have returned to normal...

Shen Xudong goes to the library to write almost every day and returns to the dormitory at 11 o'clock...

Write what?

Of course it's "The Best in the World"...

In the middle, the boss Zhao Linhai took over the task of compiling a family drama, "A Filial Son Is Hard to Find"...

He decisively refused - he couldn't write well!

I didn’t even discuss it with a few people in the dormitory...

This kind of family drama requires a lot of life experience. At the very least, you have to use a bunch of bloody elements clearly. Otherwise, how can you write it?

In fact, Shen Xudong has a lot of bad family drama elements, such as Fu Di Mo, Phoenix Man, Peacock Girl...

Just take one out, in this era, it is a novel and awesome existence!

Well, Shen Xudong's memories are almost integrated, at least in terms of screenwriting skills...

I also understand why "The Best in the World" is difficult to write, because this thing is a TV series, it only has scenes, and... During the filming stage of the TV series, I encountered a lot of things, for example, Duan Tianya's scenes were too few...

The reason is simple: while filming a snow fight scene, Li Anpeng ruptured the cruciate ligament in his right leg and was no longer able to film. The film crew didn't want to change the cast, so they changed the script and asked Duan Tianya to live on Snake Island for a while.

This is also the reason why Duan Tianya did not appear for a long time, because the leading actor Li Anpeng went to recuperate from his injury.

In terms of character setting, Duan Tianya is equipped with three beauties, Liu Sheng Piaoxu, Liu Sheng Xueji, and Shangguan Haitang.

In terms of personality, Duan Tianya is also a perfect character. Calm, steady, loyal, loyal, loyal, and possess leadership skills.

When writing novels now, it would be impossible to make Duan Tianya the second male lead!

Then you have to create his own scene.

However, as I write, I become the protagonist...

No way, this character is too cute!

Chengdu is Wei Xiaobao!

After accidentally bumping into the palace, his life was like a mess. First, he was forced to teach Kung Fu by Gu Santong, then he hooked up with Princess Yunluo, and even got along with the Queen Mother. He acted and behaved like a little hooligan...

The key is that this character is very interesting, vain and principled, narcissistic, conceited and passionate!

After writing every day, Liao Gaoxiang was his first reader. He commented directly: "I don't like it to be right or wrong!"

"Why?"

"So lucky!"

"But this novel ends in tragedy for everyone, so there must be someone who is happy, right?"

"...Okay, you write slowly...By the way, have you decided which magazine will serialize it?"

"I asked the teacher. The teacher also has an acquaintance in the editorial department of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times"... He asked me to send the finished manuscript to "Martial Arts Edition"..."

Liao Gaoxiang nodded: "I guess they are all classmates of Wuqi Art School..."

Wuqi Art School, Central Wuqi Art University. In the 1970s, that is, in 1973, the Ministry of Culture merged nine schools in Beijing, including the Central Conservatory of Music, the China Conservatory of Music, the Central Academy of Drama, and the BJ Film Academy, into one Central Conservatory of Music. Wuqi University of Arts is based on the former BJ Agricultural and Labor University campus in Changping.

Of course, the May 7th Art School only existed for 4 years and was announced to be disbanded in 1977...

Over twenty years later, those graduates now happen to be the backbone of the art field!

"Then will you still write today?"

"I won't write anymore. Didn't I agree to go to the movies?"

"Then let's go!"

They made an appointment to see "Heroes"

…

"Hero" has a cost of US$30 million, directed by Ah Mou, starring Li Lianlian, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Daoming...

By the way, there’s also Donnie Yen!

Not talking about the lineup, just talking about the promotion, it is unprecedented.

This is really unprecedented. In the past, domestic film production and distribution were independent of each other, which led to a disconnect between publicity planning and distribution.

Well, there was no publicity before. After the movie was shot, the screening company would foot the bill...

"Hero" completely abandoned the traditional approach and left it to New Picture Company from start to finish, from publicity, planning to distribution.

In order to ensure the success of future releases, New Picture Company has joined forces with the media to conduct comprehensive coverage of the film's planning, shooting, and production from the very beginning.

Moreover, the media does not report on the filming process of the film, but only selects some relevant tidbits as the entry point for reporting, letting people know that the film is being filmed but they just don’t know how it is going, and mobilizing the audience again and again to take a look. "Hero" desire.

Also, in mid-December before the film was released, a hardcover "Hero" stamp series featuring director Zhang Yimou and other main actors was printed and put on sale.

And all kinds of advertisements occupy people's attention before the movie is released, making it difficult for you not to pay attention.

In addition, "Hero" also pioneered a bunch of things, such as investing huge sums of money to hold an expensive premiere in the Great Hall of the People;

More than 600 media from nearly 90 countries and regions were invited to the site for publicity;

The main creative staff of the film crew chartered flights to various places for premiere-style publicity;

The most stringent entrance verification and anti-piracy measures such as using security guards to check ID cards, limiting the number of tickets purchased, and special surveillance to prevent illegal recording;

Auction of audio and video distribution rights at sky-high prices, etc...

These activities are widely reported by the media, like a never-ending tide, creating a marketing atmosphere for the film and adding fuel to the film's promotion.

By the way, there are also premiere meetings in five major cities across the country...

Basically, the movie promotion routines of later generations were created by "Hero"...

It’s hard for Shen Xudong and the others not to know!

Just spend money to buy a ticket and watch the movie immediately...
