Chapter 391 Two cards from the bottom
New screen for remote confrontation.
Cheng Yuan tore Zhang Weiping apart with his hands.
This provides the deserted movie market after the National Day festival and before the Lunar New Year festival with enough food for after-dinner conversation.
"Remotely trying to poach Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping angrily scolded Cheng Yu'an"
"The separation of the two Zhangs is a foregone conclusion, and many companies want to contact Zhang Yimou"
"The biggest highlight of this year's Lunar New Year festival is Zhang Yimou's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" versus Xu Ke's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate." However, recently, the producer of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" Zhang Weiping launched an attack in advance, reprimanding Remote Media for poaching Zhang Yimou. Remote Media
Chairman Cheng Yuan did not deny the fact of poaching, but said that this was a normal business operation and film cooperation. The reporter called the person in charge of Zhang Yimou's studio, but as of press time, no one answered the phone at the studio."
"Given the 16-year cooperation history between Zhang and Zhang, why did Zhang Yimou choose to break up at this time?"
In the past two days, the whole Internet has been talking about Er Zhang's breakup.
Of course, in a war of public opinion, Ten Mental Pictures is not a remote opponent.
Zhang Weiping has offended too many people in the film industry, and Distance Media has deep roots. From theaters to promotions, they are all Distance's friends and partners.
Therefore, since the incident broke out, the media has dug deep into what Zhang Weiping did.
For example, "The Golden Jacket" ignored Zhang Yimou's objections and forced Jay Chou, whose acting skills were not up to par, to join the cast. The bad marketing techniques made Gong Li furious and vowed "not to share the same stage with Zhang Weiping"; "Three Guns" cast Zhao Jiaban;
"Three Hairpins" A certain actress (not named).
Some media even said that it was Zhang Weiping who instigated the breakup between Zhang and Gong.
At that time, Zhang and Gong had a strong relationship. With Gong Li in charge, Zhang Yimou had no worries about box office and awards. Zhang Weiping believed that if the two did not break up, it would be impossible for him to "control" Zhang Yimou.
Therefore, when Zhang Weiping and Gong Li participated in a car brand event together, Zhang Weiping temporarily proposed that Gong Li dance with the brand boss. At that time, Gong Li did not refuse in front of the public.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Weiping took the opportunity to film the dancing scene and arranged for the newspaper to break the news.
Zhang Yimou and Gong Li had a big fight over this, so Zhang Weiping started his magical operation.
He lobbied between Zhang and Gong respectively, pretending to comfort them, but he said all the bad things about each other.
When talking to Gong Li, he said: "Lao Mouzi is too small-minded, why don't you just dance? It's such a big deal."
When talking to Zhang Yimou, he said: "It's true for Gong Li, so many people are watching and they all know that you are together, it's so inappropriate."
Faced with the irritation of their close friends, the gap between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, who had only a slight rift in their relationship, became even bigger.
However, Zhang Yimou, who has always been reserved, chose to treat the relationship coldly and refused to communicate with Gong Li under Zhang Weiping's suggestion. This also caused both parties to miss the opportunity to know the truth.
In this way, after five years of love, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li announced that they had parted ways because of the turmoil.
After losing Gong Li, Zhang Yimou's movies had no "box office guarantee", so many investors followed Gong Li and "abandoned" Zhang Yimou, which forced Zhang Yimou to suspend his career.
His love was hit and his career came to a standstill. Zhang Yimou, who was full of bitterness, had no choice but to find his friend Zhang Weiping to talk to.
Seeing this, Zhang Weiping suppressed the joy in his heart and quickly secretly asked about his situation with concern. When Zhang Yimou responded that he was running around looking for investors, Zhang Weiping immediately proposed to be his investor.
When he heard that his friend wanted to invest, Zhang Yimou, who thought he had no confidence, refused immediately because Zhang Yimou believed that his next movie might not be successful and the investment risk was high, and he did not want his friend's "good intentions" to go to waste.
.
However, as a qualified businessman, how could Zhang Weiping fail to see Zhang Yimou's strength? Even if the next movie fails, won't he succeed in the future?
So Zhang Weiping insisted on investing in Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Yimou agreed after many attempts to persuade him failed.
In this way, in 1996, Zhang Weiping got his wish and became Zhang Yimou's partner.
With Zhang Weiping's funds, Zhang Yimou's filming was able to continue, and the first film they collaborated on was "Speak Well".
As a "test of the waters" for their first collaboration, Zhang Weiping was not stingy in his investment in this film. He even stopped two projects that he was currently building and spent 26 million yuan on it.
However, although Zhang Weiping's investment was very generous, his attitude towards the film seemed to be just to enable Zhang Yimou to follow him wholeheartedly.
So much so that they underestimated the value of the film in the overseas market and sold it to another company at a super low price of 8 million.
In the end, after the movie was released and became a hit, the company resold the copyright and the revenue was as high as 46 million, which shocked Zhang Weiping.
Zhang Weiping had thought that Zhang Yimou was talented, but he didn't expect that he would be so strong. This made him feel regretful and at the same time, he was also pleasantly surprised to find a treasure.
So from then on, Zhang Weiping made up his mind to shift the main focus of his career from real estate to the film industry.
In 1997, Zhang Weiping established his first company in the entertainment industry, "Heart Picture".
In this way, the "mistress" Zhang Weiping successfully took over and successfully replaced Gong Li's position next to Zhang Yimou.
The media also dug up the last words of Zhang Yimou's father. First, he asked Zhang Yi to make a living and have a son to carry on the old Zhang family's family line. Second, he asked Zhang Yimou to be careful of Zhang Weiping: "You must be careful of Zhang Weiping. After you are separated from him, you will definitely be retaliated against."
, you are no match for him."
For my father, "Beware of Zhang Weiping" is as important as continuing the family lineage of the old Zhang family.
One can imagine how thoroughly his father saw Zhang Weiping.
Nowadays, the breakup of Zhang Weiping and Zhang Weiping is very popular. Zhang Weiping dances so happily, but Zhang Yimou remains silent. This makes the media feel that "Zhang Yimou has been grudged against Zhang Weiping for a long time, and the breakup may be a foregone conclusion."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Remote Media, which is at the center of the storm, is surprisingly calm at this time.
Yuan Yuan has been in contact with Zhang Yimou since "Three Guns". It has been more than two or three years now, and the talks that need to be discussed are almost finished. I originally wanted to leave the last dignity for Zhang Weiping and wait for the release of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" before announcing it to the public.
, I didn’t expect that Zhang Weiping would attack in advance.
"I'm afraid Zhang Weiping will make a fuss about "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling."" Chen Zhixi's worry is not unreasonable.
"It's okay. If he wants to know what he's interested in, just take the money and get out." Cheng Yu'an said, "We'll return the production fee he invested to him."
"If he could take money and leave, he wouldn't be Zhang Weiping."
"It's okay, the worst case scenario is a lawsuit. The copyright of "Thirteen Hairpins" is in the hands of Zhang Yimou, and Ni Ni is also signed by Zhang Yimou's studio. He has no advantage in emotion, reason, or law." Cheng Yu'an said while reading the document, "
Without Zhang Yimou, he is nothing."
"Oh, by the way, have you checked Zhang Yimou's account details?"
"We've found out." Chen Zhixi said, "I didn't expect that Zhang Weiping would be so ruthless. After more than ten or twenty years of cooperation, Zhang Yimou had to pay tens of millions to Zhang Yimou."
"He didn't respect Director Zhang's status as an international director at all."
"Did you not show this account to Zhang Yimou?"
"Not yet, but Zhang Yimou is also investigating it himself. It is estimated that he will know it soon."
"Yes. Has he paid the fine for having a child?"
"Just be on guard against Zhang Weiping's move. It was completed last month, but it was not announced to the public." Chen Zhixi wanted to kill Zhang Weiping in one fell swoop and not give him any chance to fight back. "However, besides us, there are several companies who also took advantage of the situation.
Just think about signing a plan."
"who?"
"Everyone else is fine, Xiao Ma is the most enthusiastic." That's why it was Chen Zhixi and not Zhong Lifeng who came to report to him today, "Xiao Ma would have signed the director, but they want to fish in troubled waters."
"Let's talk if they can handle Zhang Yimou." Cheng Yu'an said disdainfully, "Let's do this in advance. You should do the docking work of "Thirteen Hairpins" first, and ask the legal department to be prepared and follow the pictures at any time.
Litigation."
