【……】
September 16th.
The news that "Infernal Affairs" exceeded 100 million yuan has hit the Chinese film industry.
As a domestically produced literary and artistic film, it is also a literary and artistic film that has no special effects and can compete with the performance of "Superman 2". "Infernal Affairs" has been attracting attention since its release...
The Chinese movie that exceeded 700 million sounds very topical, but it did not cause much sensation. Even after the Venice International Film Awards ceremony ended, some well-known Chinese filmmakers started to dispute the box office data of the movie.
and intense controversy.
"It is undeniable that the movie "Infernal Affairs" is a very topical movie, but the box office of 700 million...all the box office was donated, and it was branded as charity to consume the kind feelings of movie fans. Such a movie's appeal and
Isn't it normal for the cohesion to resist "Superman 2"...isn't it normal for it to exceed 700 million?"
"I didn't mean to say that what Mr. Zhou Yang did was wrong... I still stand on the extremely objective basis of history and explain one fact. I also hope that the majority of movie fans can stand on a relatively objective standpoint to evaluate "Infernal Affairs"
"Tao" breaks the 700 million mark..."
The director, who has not been seen for a long time, fell into silence for a long time after the failure of "Tianji".
Occasionally there is news, also on major platforms, speaking for one's own "Tianji", criticizing many people in the current society for being too impetuous and unable to understand "art".
People are gradually becoming a little extreme. When faced with ridicule from netizens, Chen Kai still maintains his veteran attitude, claiming that someone has been messing with him behind his back since "Tianji" and in various ways.
Splash dirty water on him.
This time...
"Infernal Affairs" had just failed in Venice, and director Chen Kai suddenly appeared in front of the media and made wild remarks.
September 16th at noon.
Chen Kai participated in an interview with the movie channel "Starlight Movies". When reporters asked about "Infernal Affairs"'s box office exceeding 700 million, what role it will play in promoting the Chinese film industry, Chen Kai shook his head.
"What's the driving force?"
"It's just a bad start!"
"Movies are an entertainment art for all. It can be commercial, which is normal, but it cannot be completely reduced to a puppet of commercial hype..."
"To be honest, I can't watch "Infernal Affairs". It's a bunch of actors pretending to be awkward throughout the whole process. Zhou Yang is acting cool and pretending to be depressed. Liu Hua, the only one with decent acting skills, looks very weak because of the script, and he can't rise at all.
When it comes to the performance level, to be honest, the name is also strange. I forcefully use the name "Infernal Affairs" to explain the police film. The whole process is neither literary nor forceful..."
"Movie fans are attracted to movie theaters by gimmicks and kind sentiments...Seriously, what's the difference between this kind of operation and box office sales? It's just a good name..."
"My foreign friends told me that "Infernal Affairs" is a joke to superstructure filmmakers..."
"I still hope that young filmmakers like Zhou Yang can sit down and make movies and stop doing these messy things..."
"..."
evening.
When "Starlight Movie" was played on the movie channel, Chen Kai's remarks instantly caused an uproar.
There were countless scoldings from netizens on his personal Weibo, almost turning Chen Kai's Weibo upside down...
But even in this state, Xinghui's boss Li Zhongjun still took a screenshot of Chen Kai's remarks and posted on Weibo: "Sad... I feel sad for the current film industry."
At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Jinsong, the vice president of the China Film Association, made a rare statement on Weibo: "To be fair, the failure of "Infernal Affairs" in Venice has nothing to do with the film itself. Director Chen Kai's remarks were rather extreme.
In my opinion, the acting skills of the actors in "Infernal Affairs" are quite good in all aspects. There is nothing to criticize about this. Of course, I really disagree with Director Zhou Yangzhou's public donation and hype of "Infernal Affairs". He really
Is it hype? If you are kind-hearted, you can donate secretly. Don't coerce the kindness of movie fans and announce it openly on the Internet? To put it bluntly, this is indeed a bit of a show and a memorial...
"
Zhang Changhe of Changhong Cinema Group: "James Lee, the director of the "Superman" series, posted on Weibo yesterday that Chinese filmmakers are crazy and will do anything for the so-called victory. Maybe this is not Mr. Zhou Yang's original intention, but it is definitely
It was a shame and was sent overseas..."
…
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Chen Kai's remarks were pushed to the hot search, and under the hot search, countless directors of the older generation came forward to speak out.
Everyone evaluated "Infernal Affairs" from an objective standpoint, and some directors directly commented on Zhou Yang's character, as if on this day, Zhou Yang's "hypocrisy" mask was completely exposed.
Since Zhou Yang entered the Chinese film industry, Zhou Yang has never been attacked in such a terrifying way, which almost nailed Zhou Yang to the pillar of shame.
The Venice International Film Festival seems to be a trigger.
It ignited the Chinese director circle, which had been crowded for a long time, and attracted countless capital...
……………………
"Aren't they afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Afraid of being liquidated? Even if Zhou Yang is really the son-in-law of some people, he will not directly intervene in this matter, let alone not yet. Moreover, the power behind Chen Kai is not small. The entire northwest circle
It was all these people who had the final say... and this time it was obviously premeditated. Except for Zhou Yilin and Shen Changwei who remained silent, a large number of other people came over to fight. Their liquidation could wipe out the entire China.
Is the film industry all liquidated? All the older generations in the Chinese film industry have fled, who will make the movie? There are too many directors and young directors who have united to attack Zhou Yang this time, covering most of the film industry..."
"Holy shit, this time Zhou Yang can only suffer the consequences of being dumb?"
"It's not a bad thing for a mute. In fact, everyone is just chatting and having fun. If they really let them actually implement the so-called ban on Zhou Yang, they don't have the ability... At most, the relevant departments will come forward and put this hot matter under control."
Suppress the search... Zhou Yang debuted too quickly and achieved too many achievements, making him very jealous... Moreover, his various actions this year have really offended capital..."
"There must be someone behind this matter, right?"
"There must be someone in charge. Haven't you noticed that our company has a very close relationship with the DV company in Hollywood recently? The "Righteous Man" project has been officially launched. The top management is afraid that when "Righteous Man" starts promoting, Zhou Yang will do something like this.
, so suppress it in advance..."
"Shh, someone is here, don't say anything, it's Director Jiang..."
"Director Jiang must be very high-spirited now. I heard that he was assigned to film "The Righteous Man"..."
"Didn't he refuse? He wants to film "Painted Skin"..."
"How can I refuse? The investment in "The Righteous Man" is so great, and he is the first Chinese superhero. The real landmark movie is to make "The Righteous Man" well..."
"But I heard that Director Cao has..."
"..."
Django returns to Starlight.
After returning to Xinghui, I heard someone whispering about this matter.
I don't know why, but Jiang Ge didn't feel very happy when he saw Zhou Yang being defeated on the Internet and being attacked by a group of people. Instead, he felt an indescribable feeling of sadness in his heart.
Human emotions are so strange sometimes.
When he recalled it at this moment, he still hated Zhou Yang. Even after thinking of some things, he gritted his teeth and wished to have Zhou Yang's skin and tendons ripped out, nailed to a pillar of fire and burned to death.
But on the other hand……
He also felt that without Zhou Yang, the Chinese film industry would have been a backwater.
Maybe he can do something when Django takes over, but it's definitely not possible now.
He even sometimes envied Zhou Yang. No matter what he did that was praised or scolded, Zhou Yang always stood for absolute freedom.
And he...
"Mr. Li, I'm afraid an investment of 10 million won't be enough..."Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is an oriental fantasy movie that requires a lot of special effects..."
He took the elevator to the top floor and knocked on the door of Li Zhongjun's office in Xinghui CEO.
Li Zhongjun was posting something on Weibo. When he saw Jiang Ge walking in, Li Zhongjun first showed a smile. Then after hearing Jiang Ge's answer, he frowned: "Xiao Jiang, you know
, now the company is busy with the movie "The Righteous Man". In addition to this movie, there is also the main theme disaster movie "Nanjing"... The cost of these two movies is very huge..."
"Isn't it invested by investors? And the people from Changhong Cinema..."
"Our company has also invested some, and, Xiao Jiang, as you know, Xinghui has deployed overseas in the past few years and invested in several overseas movies. Now it costs a lot of money, and 10 million is the limit that the company can spend...
If the rest is not enough, can you find investors yourself?"
"The investment budget is 150 million. I have found a lot of investors, and they are willing to spend 40 million, and there are nearly 110 million..." When Jiang Ge saw Li Zhongjun say this, he immediately stopped.
Knowing what to say, he finally lowered his head.
"This is not the company's problem, this is your problem. Xiao Jiang, who is also a young man, why did Zhou Yang get tens of millions in box office revenue with an investment of millions or hundreds of thousands? Why can't you?"
"Times have changed..."
"This is no excuse."
"Mr. Li, if it's convenient, can you ask the special effects team of "The Righteous Man" to help me with "Liao Zhai Painted Skin"? If they help, I can save at least 30 million. I can't find a good special effects team...
"
"You need to discuss this with Director Cao. Aren't you a master and a disciple?"
"..."
Django leaves the office.
I am not reconciled, but also a little depressed.
[We are also young people. Why did Zhou Yang get tens of millions in box office revenue with an investment of several million or hundreds of thousands? Why can't you?].
This sentence kept ringing in his ears, but he didn't feel angry or uncomfortable.
When answering Li Zhongjun, he said, "Times are different."
But when he went out, he lowered his head and murmured to himself: "I'm just an ordinary person..."
After returning to his office, he called Cao Bangguo and told Cao Bangguo about the incident.
Cao Bangguo was silent for a while on the phone, and then sighed: "Mr. Li's niece Wu Tong is in charge of the cooperation project "The Righteous Man". Wu Tong is the matchmaker between DV Company and Xinghui, and "The Righteous Man" is the project
She built it with her own hands, and now she has moved from behind the scenes to the stage... I am only assisting her, Xiao Jiang, originally this project was yours..."
"Then my "Liao Zhai Painted Skin"..."
"Zhou Yang can do it, why can't you?"
"..."
……………………
"Xu Chu, are you looking for me?"
"I can't pass your plan here..."
"Why? The Chinese Young Directors Association's box office of 500 million in the first half of the year has completely exceeded..." An Xiao frowned.
"I know your relationship with Zhou Yang, but we have to follow the procedures for many things, and you revoke all welfare benefits, which is too big... Of course, you must do this, and I will give you approval, but
