Hearing Li Yi's words, Lou Jianjun couldn't help but be stunned.
"Who is worried about the release of "Sowon"? Will it be affected?"
The answer is self-evident.
Who is worried about the release of "Sowon"?
It must be someone involved in a case of sexual (harmony) abuse of a minor.
Sometimes, movies may not have that much energy, but sometimes, movies can also have shocking energy.
In particular, the director of "So Yuan" is Li Yi, who is the most popular director and the sharpest director in Hong Kong Island.
And "Sowon" also won the Palme d'Or.
Therefore, Hong Kong Island even paid more attention to this movie than the mainland.
In this way, if someone wants to prevent the release of "Sowon", or to say the least, hopes that "Sowon" can be postponed, then the case involved by the other party must be tried in the near future.
"You mean, Oriental Pictures is just doing things for others? There is someone else who really wants to postpone the release of "Su Yuan", at least on Hong Kong Island?" Lou Jianjun asked.
"Yes, and he is a rich man. With a guarantee of 20 million, the other party will have to put in at least a few million more. What are you trying to do?" Li Yi asked.
"You can reply to the other party and say that you need to think about it. See if Oriental Image will increase the amount!" Li Yi said again.
Of course, he doesn't really want to make that little money, but if Oriental Image increases its investment, it will explain the problem even more.
In fact, in terms of impact, it only affects the Hong Kong market. "Sowon" is not a commercial blockbuster. Its strength lies not in the box office, but in the social significance brought by the film itself.
Sure enough, after Lou Jianjun finished the phone call.
When I came back, my face looked a little weird.
"Fifteen million, directly buy out the issuance in the Hong Kong Island market! And the other party said that they can directly sign the contract and pay cash!" Lou Jianjun looked at Li Yi and said.
"Do you need to check what happened?" Lou Jianjun asked.
Li Yi shook his head: "It's not necessary. It will be released nationwide simultaneously according to our original plan!"
"Will the issuance in Hong Kong Island be hindered?" Lou Jianjun asked with some worry.
Li Yi pondered for a moment, not to mention that it might not be impossible, but Li Yi quickly shook his head. It is possible, but it is unlikely.
After all, in this era, no one can cover the sky with one hand.
Moreover, Li Yi is not that easy to control. If the other party really dares to do that, isn't he afraid that Li Yi will go crazy?
...
Hong Kong Island, oriental image.
"Xiang Sheng, has the other party agreed?" asked a man in his fifties.
Xiang Wenbin shook his head and said: "No, I just said that I need to think about it."
"If you don't have enough money, you can add more!" The man looked at Xiang Wenbin and said.
Xiang Wenbin frowned slightly and said, "Xu Sheng, maybe it's not about money. I'm sorry, Xu Sheng, there's nothing Oriental Image can do about this matter."
"Xiang Sheng, can you give me a little favor and ask Oriental Pictures to refuse the distribution of this film on Hong Kong Island?" Xu Zhaokun said again.
"Xu Sheng, I want to...with all due respect, that's Li Yi. If Xu Sheng really wants to get several companies in Hong Kong to refuse to release the film "Su Yuan", he doesn't have to worry about it being counterproductive.
Is that so? If Li Yi tells the whole story directly, the consequences will be even more serious."
"It may even cause a bigger sensation. The winner of the Oscar for Best Picture, the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and the international award-winning film by the sharpest local director in the Hong Kong film industry is actually blocked on Hong Kong Island. Even the capital city of Hong Kong may be alarmed by then.
, Xu Sheng, are you sure you want to do this?" Xiang Wenbin was also startled by Xu Zhaokun.
"And, to say the least, it's impossible for you, Xu Sheng, to stop the distribution of that movie in Hong Kong, because Yindu Company is not something you can influence, Xu Sheng." Xiang Wenbin even regretted helping Xu Zhaokun.
Have done this.
If Xu Zhaokun really does this kind of thing, when the trouble becomes big, not only Xu Zhaokun will be in bad luck, but he, Xiang Wenbin and Dongfang Yingxiang will also be in bad luck.
As for whether it is possible for Xu Zhaokun to do this?
It's really hard to say. The person involved in the case is Xu Zhaokun's only son, who can be said to be the only son of the Xu family. Naturally, Xu Zhaokun tried his best to protect him.
For this reason, he spent a lot of money to hire a team of luxury defense lawyers to defend his son.
The result was a collision of guns. According to the chief lawyer of the legal team hired by the other party, if "Su Yuan" is released and coincides with the trial of Xu Zhaokun's son's case, then the two will inevitably be connected.
At that time, whether it is public opinion, the media, or judges, they will inevitably be affected.
It’s just a movie, right?
The chief lawyer of the legal team told Xu Zhaokun that it was not inevitable, but inevitable.
Other movies may not be so powerful, but realism-themed movies will definitely burst out with amazing energy when the same type of events occur. And more importantly, this movie is at a time of great influence.
At its peak, director Li Yi is a local filmmaker from Hong Kong, and he also won the Oscar for Best Picture and the Cannes Palme d'Or.
When influence is at its peak.
Furthermore, there may have been other similar cases during the same period, but the case of Xu Zhaokun's son Xu Tian will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Who made the Xu family rich?
This is also the reason why Xu Zhaokun tried every means to delay the release of "Su Yuan".
Because once the movie is released as scheduled, everything will become uncontrollable and develop in the direction they least want to see.
...
In fact, the schedule of "Sowon" has been decided long ago.
Li Yi is still in Cannes, and the domestic side has already made preparations. After all, participating in the Cannes Film Festival is to promote this movie.
And now "Sowon" not only won the Best Screenplay, but also won the Palme d'Or. Therefore, the release date must not be too late. After all, it needs to rely on the reputation of the Cannes Film Festival.
The movie still has a reputation, after all, it was directed by Li Yi, and it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
The first domestic trailer of "Sowon" has finally been released online after being widely requested.
Many fans who are extremely curious about this movie have been waiting for it for a long time. Although there have been movie reviews sent back from Cannes before, the majority of people who go to see the movie reviews are still not the majority.
The first trailer of "Su Yuan": "May You Regain Your Smile and Innocence" was released simultaneously in three places across the Taiwan Strait.
Although it is only a short trailer of less than two minutes.
But it can already make the audience understand what this movie is about.
Realistic-themed movies, especially movies like "Sowon", are not afraid of spoilers.
In the trailer, everything changes from the moment the innocent little girl meets that beast.
The unscrupulous and indifferent media, the lovely and sensible Suyuan, committed such a terrible crime, but still pretended to be innocent, and was an arrogant and domineering criminal who threatened the little girl's father without any remorse...
Although later on, it was shown how much the father had done to heal his daughter's psychological trauma, as well as the warm help and blessings from relatives and friends, but everyone who watched the trailer was filled with indignation.
My heart is filled with anger!
ps: The fever just subsided today, so I’m going to finish two chapters first, and I’ll resume the fifth update tomorrow!
