Chapter 149: Bad Movie, Run Away (3/4)

Of course Shen Yan found it based on his memory...

Guo Shubo is Wubai, the founder of Arclight Alliance, and has made a lot of works, including "Psychological Crime", "Sweeping Dark Storm", "Big Shot" and "The Road to Fire"...

His works have received mixed reviews, but his aesthetic is pretty good and very suitable for crime thrillers.

Wang Zhize is the director of "You Are Too Much". His style is wise and warm, and he is good at emotional, suspenseful and brain-burning works.

It wouldn't be a problem for the two of them to work together to make a movie like "The Phone."

As for photography, styling, art, etc., we'll find someone after it's officially decided...

"I'll finish the script as soon as possible...would you like to find a professional producer to help you?"

Ji Xiang shook his head: "We are a small company, and the producers who have already made a name for themselves won't come here!"

Shen Yan: "I'm not asking you to find Chen Guofu... You can find a few people who are interested to lead them!"

"I'll keep an eye out!"

“…Okay, anything else?”

"No more," Ji Xiang was about to shake his head when he suddenly remembered something: "The article 'Love Is Not Blind'..."

After hearing about "Love Is Not Blind," Shen Yan got anxious: "Oh my god, something went wrong? Who invested in this?"

"Listen to me!"

Ji Xiang glared at him: "Nothing has happened... We invested 500 million and are the main investor!"

“What share did you take?”

“60%…but I found Wanda for the distribution!”

"Hey, why don't you look for light?"

"Guangguang doesn't have any cinemas!"

That’s true. Although Guangguang’s distribution capabilities are very strong, it has one biggest shortcoming: it has no theaters!
Wang Changtian once wanted to build a cinema chain belonging to Guangxian. Later, with the rise of online ticketing platforms, he bet all his wealth on Maoyan - 6% of Guangxian Media shares and 23.83 billion yuan in cash in exchange for 57.4% of Maoyan's equity, becoming its largest shareholder!

Wang from Guangxian is much more courageous than the Huang brothers from Huayi. The Huang brothers also bet on the online ticketing website - Maizuo.com!

Unfortunately, we all know that the online ticketing platforms are divided into two categories: Taopiaopiao and Maoyan.

No matter what, as long as the project of "Love is Not Blind" is saved!

Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "...After a while, I will release my second album...There is a song called "Dignity" in it, I can ask Brother Wen to cover it and use it as the promotional song for "Love Is Not Blind"!"

"Okay... When will the second album be released?"

"I haven't started recording yet... I plan to shoot a few more music videos this time..."

"I have no problem with that. The budget for this album can be doubled!"

"There's no need... Physical sales are only a few hundred thousand at most... The ringtone business isn't doing well either... Let's just go with three million..."

Ji Xiang nodded seriously. "...I spoke with Song Ke from Maitian Music the day before yesterday. He told me that selling 60 records nowadays is already a very good result... We sold nearly last year, which is simply a miracle!"

"You're going to see Song Ke? Why are you going to see him?"

"Song Ke is the director of the Chinese Music Association... He's very influential in this circle!"

"…So what did you guys talk about?"

Ji Xiang: "Just talking about the music market. He said that nowadays, most of the people who buy records are fans. Fans buy records because they like the singers, or to meet the stars in person at the autograph sessions. In fact, record sales have little to do with whether the songs are really good."

"Well, physical records have gradually become a kind of peripheral for artists... After all, few people listen to CDs anymore. Smartphones are becoming more and more popular... People prefer to listen to music on their phones!"

"what is it now?"

Shen Yan was puzzled: "What should I do?"

“If physical records can’t be sold…what will happen to the music market?

"What does it have to do with you? You want to be a singer?" "I...I just care about you!"

"...I'm a multi-talented person...and music copyright will definitely be formalized...just like video copyright!"

"When then?"

"This matter has nothing to do with us," Shen Yan shook his head: "Don't worry about it so much..."

……

Filming of "Love Through the Millennium" continues...

On January 1th, we moved to Hangzhou...

After arriving in Hangzhou, I didn’t take much rest and started shooting directly~
On January 1th, after finishing a day of filming, Shen Yan and Shi Shi prepared to watch the newly released movie, "Shaolin Temple"!
"Shaolin Temple" is produced by Huayi Brothers, Emperor Entertainment Group, and China Film Group, with Bona Film Group and Guangguang as co-producers.

The cast includes Andy Lau, Tse Ting-fung, Fan Bingbing, Jackie Chan and Wu Jing!
Shi Shi pestered Shen Yan and insisted on watching the movie first...

Shen Yan really didn't want to be tortured anymore, but it was difficult to refuse Shi Shi, so he simply put on a pair of headphones and prepared to listen to music in the screening room!
How do you evaluate "New Shaolin Temple"?

All the elements were there, and yet the dish served was a pot of General Tso's chicken that didn't taste right.

Many people analyzed that none of these guys can fight, they are just pretending. Wu Jing is a good fighter, but it’s a pity that the protagonists are Andy Lau and Tse Ting Fung... and they have too many scenes!

If you let them fight back and forth with knives in Mong Kok, that's no problem...

Expecting them to recreate Li Lianjie's version of "The Thirteen Monks Save the Tang Emperor" is impossible...

Setting the background in the modern warlord period is a small innovation, and then what?

Warlord leader!
Is it that stupid?
He chose to go into danger alone when he could have brought his men with him;

Why resort to hand-to-hand combat when the situation can be resolved with guns?
Liu Dehua's plot is even more speechless. Mercy means forgiving the murderer who just killed his relatives?

Is this how epiphany works?

This sermon is so far-fetched and awkward that even Brother Chen Kai feels ashamed of himself!
Finally, a few foreigners came inexplicably...

The whole thing is a mess!

After watching "New Shaolin Temple", Shi Shi was stunned. She frowned and said, "This movie is really bad!"

"...This plot shouldn't be set during the Republican era. The enemy and our forces simply can't be evenly matched!"

"How to say?"

"The warlords have ample guns and cannons, superior numbers, and are well-trained, well-funded, and backed by foreign powers. They have every material advantage. Meanwhile, the monks, while skilled in martial arts, are at a significant disadvantage in an era of highly developed and widespread firearms. They simply cannot win!"

Shi Shi pressed on: "Then why put it in modern times?"

"How would I know?"

As he was talking, Shen Yan took out his phone and called Yang Siwei, the on-site producer of "Love Through the Millennium": "It's a bad movie, don't organize the team building..."

"Is it that bad?"

It turns out that Yang Siwei originally planned to invite the crew of "Love Through the Millennium" to watch the movie...

Chinese New Year is coming soon!
It can also be considered as team building for the crew.

But judging from Shen Yan’s tone...it should be a terrible movie!

Shen Yan confessed, "...It was terrible, extremely terrible. During the movie, I thought about leaving the theater at least six times!"

"So... what's the point of team building?"

"…Why do we have to watch a movie? Let's all have a meal together and have some fun, and I can go on stage and sing a few songs!"

“…You said you would go on stage and sing!”
