Chapter 562 A conspiracy of betrayal

 Although Brother Chen Kai had such an idea, it was more or less an imitation of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Originally, he had not made up his mind to make such a large production. However, due to the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 200 million

The box office revenue is many dollars, which is enough for Chinese filmmakers to look up to.

Brother Chen Kai feels that the time is ripe to make a martial arts film.

That’s why I finally made up my mind to start filming. However, with Chen Kai’s proud character, how could he admit that he was imitating?

But he couldn't stand up in front of so many reporters. He said with a smile: "If this reporter's opinion is what it means, then after the shipwreck on the ice sea, Titanic could also be imitated and plagiarized. I don't know who Director Cameron is.

I don't agree with what you say.

Li Yu directed a martial arts film, a work by Wang Dulu, while my film is a fantasy film, more inclined to the kind of spiritual world constructed by Freud, so it is not comparable.

Of course, Director Li Yu's achievements are obvious to all and should be proud of us Chinese filmmakers, as they have allowed the West to see the breadth and depth of our Chinese culture."

This answer is indeed quite satisfactory, but it is not Chen Kai's original intention. The meaning of this sentence was thought up by Chen Hong.

Because Chen Hong knew very well that there was a lot of discussion from the outside world about whether Chen Kai's "The Promise" followed the trend of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Therefore, Chen Hong also expected that reporters would ask similar questions at the press conference.

of.

It's okay for mainland reporters. They've all been greeted before, and no one will ask this question out of the blue. But at this time, there are reporters from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and foreign reporters. These people are not so easy to say hello to.

.

Therefore, Chen Hong had prepared an answer to such a question early. Otherwise, with Chen Kai's temper, even if he did not get angry on the spot, at least he would not look good to reporters.

Miki obviously didn't expect that Brother Chen Kai would have such a smooth answer, so he sat down very disappointed.

At this time, a reporter from Hong Kong City stood up and said: "Hello, Director Chen, I am King Charlie, a reporter from Next Weekly. I heard that the mainland's box office share is now 35%, which is quite low.

Share, and Director Chen actually invested so much, does he have any further plans for how to recover the investment in the future?"

The mainland's box office share is not in line with international standards. This is also something that makes mainland filmmakers very unhappy. Unfortunately, the New Film Alliance now has a monopoly. Originally, the people from the New Film Alliance were good enough. They accepted Ye Ming's

After the brilliant cinema chain, it has become even more powerful and has an absolute monopoly. Therefore, how the box office is divided depends on the New Film Alliance.

Thirty-eight percent? Don’t think about it, it’s now 35%, and it’s good to be able to give 35%.

It was precisely because the people from the New Film Alliance were so domineering. Therefore, at this time, Wang Zhongjun summoned some directors in the circle to try to break this monopoly.

And this blockbuster by Chen Kaige actually gives everyone a hope. After all, Chen Kaige is an international director. A film with such a huge investment should have considerable influence and may force the people of the New Film Alliance.

Concessive.

At this time, Brother Chen Kai was not worried at all. At this moment, a high-spirited middle-aged man suddenly walked into the scene. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked elegant. But he walked with a arrogant expression and said: "

This is a good question. The box office share also depends on the quality of the movie itself. It cannot be said that one size fits all. If the quality of the movie itself is very poor, then the cinema itself will lose money when showing it. Naturally, it is impossible to give

The box office share is too high. But if it is a good film at this time, we will still take care of it accordingly."

After Brother Chen Kai saw the visitor, he stood up happily and said: "Everyone, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Liu He, the spokesperson of the New Film Alliance. Today, he is here to attend the launch of my new film on behalf of the New Film Alliance.

Will do."

This result is very surprising. Many of the reporters present are well-informed people. Wang Zhongjun summoned Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others to discuss how to deal with the squeeze from the New Film Federation. The General Administration of Industry and Commerce knows this news. It is impossible for reporters not to know.

ah.

But looking at the situation now, New Film Alliance and Brother Chen Kai are actually wearing the same pants. This is simply unimaginable.

At this moment, Yu Guo from the Entertainment Morning News immediately stood up and said: "There are rumors that there is an offensive and defensive alliance in the film and television industry, and Director Chen is one of them. This time, Director Chen cooperates with people from the New Film Alliance, does it mean that he represents

Director Chen is not optimistic about this offensive and defensive alliance and plans to withdraw."

As soon as these words came out, the reporters present immediately started talking about it.

Why withdraw from the offensive and defensive alliance? To put it bluntly, this is just betrayal. Even in the entertainment industry, such a thing is criticized by others.

Therefore, at this time, Brother Chen Kai said with a sullen face: "Which media reporter are you from? Why are you so ignorant of the importance? Next time I will refuse your media to attend my press conference. The New Film Alliance is the largest theater chain.

We are a strong alliance. As for the offensive and defensive alliance you mentioned, it is completely false."

Yu Guo said impassionedly: "Whether Director Chen is happy or not, I am here, and I believe readers have the right to know the truth."

This matter is a very explosive news. It depends on how Chen Kai will deal with this problem. At this moment, Liu He is also a little uneasy. This is not giving face to the New Film Alliance.

The people from the New Film Alliance knew that Wang Zhongjun and the others had formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and they wanted to ask the people from the New Film Alliance to change the box office share. However, in such a situation, it was very difficult. Who would give up the benefits they had obtained casually?

Woolen cloth.

Therefore, the people of the New Film Alliance quickly thought of a way to divide and disintegrate. At this time, Brother Chen Kai quickly entered their field of vision.

At a time like this, Brother Chen Kai must have a chance to prove himself, to prove that his reputation as a great international director is worthy of his name, and that he did not get this reputation by relying on his own father as is rumored in the outside world.

But no matter what it looks like, it is not easy for Brother Chen Kai to betray him at this time. The people from the New Film Alliance increased the box office share to 42%. This is a very high box office share. It can be said that

It is unprecedented. As for whether it will be followed by others, it is really unclear.

And Brother Chen Kai's high box office share is actually just from this movie.

Wang Zhongjun and the others need a blockbuster to counterattack the New Film Alliance, and the people of the New Film Alliance actually don’t need a blockbuster to enhance their influence at this time. As a theater chain, we can only introduce and screen real classic blockbusters.

Only at a time like this can we attract more viewers to watch the movie.

Therefore, at this time, people from the New Film Alliance chose Chen Kaige's super blockbuster "The Promise" from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, plus big stars invited from Japan, this is a quite luxurious lineup.

Even the National Preceptor Zhang Yimou is not that generous. Zhang Yimou is good at training newcomers. He trained Zhang Ziyi into an international chapter. This is not something ordinary people can do.

But Brother Chen Kai likes to use big stars to shoot gorgeous scenes.

Big stars are the guarantee of big box office, at least that's what people from the New Film Alliance think.

Liu He also said with a dark face: "This reporter should pay attention to your wording. You can't represent the readers. And I don't think there is anything wrong with Director Chen cooperating with us. This is a matter of mutual benefit. Note that the New Film Alliance is the one

The official representatives and others are all grass-roots teams and cannot gain any publicity."

Liu He was also quite angry at this time. He was here to cheer for Brother Chen Kai. Therefore, he never expected that in such a situation, such a blind reporter would actually raise such a difficult issue.

Here comes a question.

Therefore, Liu He was a little rude when he spoke.

Who are the Caotai Team? They are naturally a group of people like Wang Zhongjun.

In fact, everyone was very satisfied with this press conference, especially the news that was finally discovered, which made many reporters feel excited. Many of these reporters went to China directly.

Billions of brothers.

In fact, they planned to interview Wang Zhongjun, but they did not expect that Wang Zhongjun was not in the company at this time. They reporters just blocked Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang is the backbone of the Huayi brothers. Interviews with him are often fruitful. He is a little cannon who dares to say anything.

Miki immediately recounted some of the things he said at the [Wuji] press conference, and then said: "Director Feng, may I ask what you think of this situation."

In fact, Feng Xiaogang already knew the news, and he went out this time for this reason. He just happened to want to go out, but he happened to meet these reporters.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang said with an unkind expression: "How do you describe this matter? Betrayal. Some people are just filthy-hearted people. These people may look good on the surface, but they have no integrity at all. I

I really don’t understand why people like this can still hang out in the entertainment industry. It’s hard to say whether I’m crazy or the entertainment industry is crazy.”

When Feng Xiaogang spoke, he was indeed not polite at all. He almost pointed at Brother Chen Kai's nose by name and called this guy a traitor.

The reporters present were also pleasantly surprised, and now they have something to write about. (To be continued)
