[Li Minghua Movie: "The Shocking Eucalyptus" announced that it will temporarily abandon the 11th slot! 】
[Eleven Chinese movies may be in the cold, but none of them is a major production worth over 100 million yuan? 】
[Chen Kai, Vice President of the China Film Association: Newcomers should be given a chance, we are not those who occupy the manhole and do nothing...]
【……】
The evening of September 18th.
Several more news came from the Chinese film industry that shocked countless filmmakers.
Director Li Minghua's movie "The Shocking" was originally the most anticipated movie by movie fans during the National Day Golden Week.
This movie is based on a confusing murder case with strange elements in the last century, which has not yet been solved. And Li Minghua is the head of the suspense film genre in China who has been silent for a long time in recent years. Before the millennium, in Hong Kong
The island has produced countless classic suspenseful and crime-breaking movies, which surprised movie fans again and again. Unfortunately, after a millennium, there was suddenly no news...
Three years ago, before Zhou Yang had to work hard to pay off his debts, it was announced in the film industry that the filming of "The Shocking Guild" would begin. Some people in the industry rumored that this film was a film that director Li Minghua had been honing for ten years. Millennium
Since this year, I have been polishing the script of this movie. When October 2007, this movie will be officially released...
When they saw this news, the expectations of movie fans were high. Especially in late September, all movie fans were excitedly waiting to buy pre-sale tickets and go to the theater to watch the movie.
But no one could have imagined that "Shocking Answers" would also be inexplicably announced to be withdrawn, just like "Darkness", "Sword God" and other movies!
And there were no signs before.
I have been sharpening my sword for ten years, and I was preparing to take advantage of the huge traffic during the National Day Golden Week to return to the world of slaying gods and demons. The sudden withdrawal caused an uproar in the entire film industry.
Countless filmmakers have contacted Li Minghua, hoping that Li Minghua can give an explanation.
Isn't this crazy?
As a result, they could not ask for any information, and Li Minghua remained silent.
The producer only said that this was a "content adjustment to allow the movie to provide a better viewing experience for movie fans."
Some insiders who knew the situation were initially apprehensive but gradually became worried.
They realized that a group of directors from the China Directors Association seemed to be suicidal in withdrawing the film in order to gain publicity.
Isn't it a suicide?
National Day Golden Week!
That was an explosion of traffic, a rare opportunity for Chinese movies to make money!
In the past few years, countless capitals have been eyeing this schedule, and they were fighting to the death over the number of films to be scheduled!
Are you saying you just give up?
How do these directors convince the capital behind them to be willful with them?
Weird!
This is so damn weird.
In addition to being weird, the filmmakers also felt a sense of storm coming.
Especially for the China Directors Association, Chen Kai's sentence of "occupying the toilet and not taking a shit" is so directional, almost pointing at the nose and making a sarcastic comment.
These remarks were posted on Weibo in an instant, and soon became a hot topic in major media. Countless media reporters were so excited that they called the directors one after another to ask whether this matter would be played out.
What will be the result? Some people even asked questions such as: "Will there be no Chinese blockbusters released this year...".
In the past, these directors remained very humble, would be very cryptic when talking about things, and never answered certain questions directly.
"There should be no more..."
"But there should be works by young directors. We should not focus on us directors, but should pay more attention to those young directors..."
"As for whether it can afford the box office, that's not our concern, but young people will always suffer some setbacks, so that they can grow in a real sense..."
"Isn't Mr. Zhou very powerful? You can go interview Mr. Zhou. I believe that Mr. Zhou is in a good mood now. He is good at using small things to make big things happen. Maybe Mr. Zhou can surprise everyone on October 1st.
, we will wait and see.”
"..."
Starry door.
Chen Kai faced countless reporters' inquiries with a smile on his face, then glanced at the noisy audience, and finally let the security guards escort him into Xinghui.
……………………
"Just let them do the hard work, we won't serve you anymore!"
"Yes, whoever you love will come. Let Zhou Yang handle the box office on November 1."
"Really think that Zhou Yang can support the Chinese box office by himself? Are you kidding..."
"Let them quarrel online, let them question, and let them quarrel with each other. Can these people still suppress us all?"
"Sooner or later we will compromise, don't worry... I have done ideological work with Li Minghua and Director Li today, and he is on the same line as us now."
"Hollywood is better. Hey, that place is free, but it's not like China. It wants freedom of creation but not freedom of creation. It wants freedom of speech but not freedom of speech. What a fool! I really envy Zhao Sicheng, Director Zhao!"
"..."
In the conference room.
A group of directors were noisy and full of resentment.
In the last meeting, they gave An Xiao an ultimatum: either the two sides would take a step back and cooperate well, or they would just overturn the table and stop everyone playing.
As a result, An Xiao didn't care about them at all.
So, they all started to overturn the table, and they overturned the table completely, almost in a suicidal manner.
Feng Minmin and Shen Jinsong went to discuss the withdrawal of "The Big Shot" directed by Li Minghua. At first, Li Minghua was reluctant, but after being talked over by the two, he finally decided to withdraw it temporarily.
Jiang Ge and Cao Bangguo also participated in this "Directors Conference".
It's said to be a director's conference, but it's actually a conference to express grievances.
But Jiang Ge huddled in the corner, looking at this group of cursing directors, with a bit of worry on his face.
In particular, Feng Minju, Chen Kai and the others seemed to be in a daze, or they were possessed by an evil spirit. Somehow they started to become extreme, and then they seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit.
"It's been a year. We have retreated and retreated again and again. We have retreated to the corner. We have no retreat!"
"Everyone, there are many things that we need to fight for. Only by fighting can we get things!"
"If we don't fight or grab, others will think that we old men are easy to bully!"
"I hope you can have a good chat with your apprentices or the young directors in our association. After the National Day, everything will be fine."
"..."
On the main seat.
Feng Ruimin waved his hand to keep everyone quiet. When it was really quiet, he said these words to everyone.
Feng Minmin is indeed a good leader.
After saying a few words, Jiang Ge's blood boiled with excitement.
But after calming down, Jiang Ge felt scared.
What happened to these people?
How dare you go against the relevant departments!
After the meeting, he wanted to have a good chat with Cao Bangguo, but found that Cao Bangguo just chatted with him briefly, then got into the car of Wu Tong, the niece of Xinghui's boss, and walked towards the set of "The Righteous Man".
After he received the investment for "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", he just nodded and said a few words of approval.
Recently, Cao Bangguo has been busy with various preparations for "The Righteous Man" and has paid very little attention to Jiang Ge.
The two sides seemed to have suddenly become estranged. They were not strangers, but there was a layer of estrangement between them. Jiang Ge tried to talk to Cao Bangguo several times but had no chance.
Jiang Ge looked at the direction Cao Bangguo left, feeling a little empty in his heart.
"Your teacher thinks you didn't follow the path he paved, and you broke his heart..."
At this time, Feng Ruimin came over and patted Jiang Ge on the shoulder.
Jiang Ge felt extremely complicated after hearing what he said.
"Director Feng, I think..."
"Do you think I'm crazy and working against the relevant departments?" As if he had seen through Jiang Ge's words, Feng Minmin said with a smile: "You are still too young after all. In fact, each of us wants to make Huaxia Film become a
We want our Chinese films to be better and more brilliant at the same time, and we want our Chinese films to go out into the world and attract the world’s attention. However, the emergence of Zhou Yang has disrupted the rules of the entire industry..."
"Director Feng, what are the rules?"
"Look at what he did? In order for "Infernal Affairs" to get high box office, he coerced the fans' good feelings, made donations, and did charity. He thought he was a contemporary Madonna? Isn't this a violation of the rules?,
Moreover, there are movies, animations, action figures, and now theaters. The cake is so big. He wants to eat it all by himself. Who would be willing? We are not willing. The capital behind us is
Even more unwilling... We actually talked to Hua Xing and invited Zhou Yang to join our China Film Association, but... as you know, he refused!"
"But, aren't you afraid of Hollywood movies..."
"The Chinese film industry must be united. Only unity can resist foreign enemies. In many cases, in order to fight against foreign forces, we must first settle down at home! This cancer must be removed! It may as well harm other places..."
"If the relevant departments block it..."
"We are wronged, and they know that we are wronged... I will call Deputy An again to discuss it. If necessary, we can take a step back..."
"..."
Feng Minmin had a long conversation with Jiang Ge.
Jiang Ge listened and nodded subconsciously.
At first, I felt that what Feng Minji said was reasonable. He who hated Zhou Yang should have found it very satisfying.
However, he didn't feel happy.
Not long after, Zhou Yilin also walked out.
He saw Zhou Yilin wanted to say something, but Zhou Yilin looked at him with a smile, told him not to speak, and motioned for him to follow.
"Director Zhou... what do you think about this matter?" Jiang Ge asked this question after getting in the car.
"I'll take you to see the special effects company. The budget can be saved by more than 40 million compared with the original!"
"real?"
"yes!"
"Pioneers? This is not the one that went bankrupt before..."
"No, it has been acquired by capital and has cooperated with [Digital Domain]. All aspects of equipment are already at the top international level."
"Is this true or false?"
"real!"
"Who is Capital? Could it be Director Zhou..." Jiang Ge looked at Zhou Yilin's mysterious appearance and stared at Zhou Yilin as if he had realized something.
"Haha." Zhou Yilin smiled softly and did not deny it.
It is indeed "Director Zhou", isn't it?
A few hours later...
Jiang Ge walked out of the Pioneer Special Effects Company with excitement.
He talked a lot with Zheng He, the head of the pioneers, and met several employees of the internationally famous [Digital Domain] special effects. They put forward numerous constructive suggestions for "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", which made Jiang Ge suddenly enlightened.
.
After leaving the special effects company, it was already the early morning of September 19th.
When Jiang Ge returned home, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. His mind was filled with the filming plan for "Liao Zhai Painted Skin".
He simply turned on the computer and prepared to watch the news or videos.
Then……
He found that Chen Kai's hot searches, including those of Li Minghua and others, had all been suppressed.
It seems that the relevant departments have taken action.
Just at this time……
He suddenly saw another amazing Weibo.
[China Star announced that it will shoot the following movies written by Mr. Zhou Yang: "Infernal Affairs 2", "The Grandmaster 2", "Crazy Stone", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "The Overheard", "The Guard 2"
, "Spider-Man"...]
After watching a series of movies, Django actually saw the expected release dates of these movies!
From October to December, these movies will be released one after another!
"Is this person crazy? Do you really think your script can support the entire Chinese film industry?"
Immediately afterwards...
I also saw another movie planned to be released on October 1st, this movie is called "Those Years of Youth Chasing Together".
This movie is not a movie written by Zhou Yang, but it is a youth film produced by Zhou Yang's company, produced by Zhou Yang, and written and directed by Guan Tong. The theme song of the movie "Those Years" seems to be written by Zhou Yang
of songs.
Guan Tong is a maverick director. Although he is a member of the Chinese film circle, he has never come to a meeting.
Feng Minji seemed to have talked with Guan Tong about the release of "Those Years of Youth Together", but Guan Tong's attitude was very firm, saying that it had to be released, or he would withdraw from the movie at worst.
Then……
Feng Minmin gave up.
It’s understandable that this movie can be released.
After Jiang Ge hesitated for a moment, he glanced down again and saw Shen Changwei announcing that he would spend ten days filming a movie, which is expected to be released in early October.
"Another movie written by Zhou Yang?"
"etc!"
"To shoot a movie in ten days, what happened to Shen Changwei? Did he follow Zhou Yang's crazy lead? In ten days, is it just to fill the gap and make a mess of movies?"
Jiang Ge just felt like his mind was in a mess.
I almost instinctively checked Weibo again.
Then I came across amazing pre-sale tickets and stills for the movie "Jaws" which will be released tomorrow.
Especially when he saw that "consultant" and "one of the screenwriters" specifically marked the word "Zhou Yang" in Chinese, even though he had known it for a long time, Jiang Ge only felt a buzzing in his head.
"How come he can write any script?"
"Could it be that this guy really supports the entire film industry?"
"No way, every one of his movies can't be a hit!"
A very ridiculous idea came to mind.
For a moment, he was a little frustrated, but then, he shook his head desperately.
"If you shoot well, my [Liao Zhai Painted Skin] will also be a hit!"
