Ye Ming finally made up his mind to support [a murder caused by a steamed bun], but there was nothing he could do about it.
Sister Fang Fang is more prudent. Her many years of working as an agent allow her to see through the impact of opinions at the first time.
Sister Fang Fang thought for a moment and said, "Just wait for a while, I'll go find you. Director Feng just came over to see you. We'll talk about other things later. There will definitely be no problem with this matter tomorrow."
This time it was not only Sister Fang who came over, but Feng Xiaogang also came with her.
Ye Ming put down the document in his hand and said with a smile: "Director Feng heard that the recent filming progress of your movie is quite good. I didn't know that you still have to come to my place when you are so busy. What big thing is worth it?"
Come here."
Feng Xiaogang has always been a carefree person, but this time he said very seriously: "I'm here, Ye Zi, just for the sake of Wuji. In the movie Wuji, Brother Chen Kai is determined to win you over. You know
Did he just say how much he invested in publicity this time? Two million, that’s enough to make a movie.”
How much did Feng Xiaogang's "Party A and Party B" cost back then? It was only three million, and Ye Ming's "Crazy Stone" was less than two million. But just for the promotion of Wuji, Brother Chen Kai dared to invest two million.
, although as a person in the circle, Ye Ming is very clear that this number is watery, but at least more than one million, this number is definitely there.
Looking at this point currently, it is impossible for Ye Ming to compare.
Ye Ming was stunned and said: "This is interesting. Lao Chen doesn't have much money in his hands. How did he get such courage? The key is, where did he get so much money to invest in publicity? I
I heard that Lao Chen’s post-production costs seriously exceeded the budget.”
Some things in the entertainment industry. For a top star like Ye Ming, there are basically no big secrets. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ye Ming knows that the post-production cost of Chen Kaige's movie The Promise exceeded the budget.
.
Therefore, Ye Ming was curious at this time. Where did Brother Chen Kai get the funds? Feng Xiaogang rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "You really haven't paid attention to this matter. Does Tang Chen know? Tang Chen's boss and Brother Chen Kai
The relationship is quite good, do you think those developers can do it without money?"
Tomson, Ye Ming said with a smile: "I have heard of this. On the first anniversary of the establishment of the Huihuang Shanghai branch, I was hosting, and it happened to be opposite Tomson's promotion meeting. I also pledged to raise two sets of soups.
The minister’s house seemed to be worth 20,000 yuan per square meter at that time, which was the highest subscription price in the Shanghai stock market.”
Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment and said: "Do you still have this relationship with Tomson? I really don't know. I'm surprised that you are so interested in real estate. I heard that your company can't win in Beijing.
There are courtyard houses everywhere. Do you have that much confidence in real estate? In Shanghai, the average house price is between more than 8,000 and less than 10,000. You dare to buy a house for 20,000, and you are not afraid of losing money?"
Ye Ming said very confidently: "That is a house that can directly see the Bund. It is transparent from north to south and is quite good. What I want is the best location. Why don't you think 20,000 yuan is worth it? There
It is basically an out-of-print plot of land. If it is built, it will not be worth the 20,000 yuan. You will know when the time comes. If Director Feng has extra money, he can invest in a courtyard house. If there is a permanent property, then there is a chance.
Perseverance, I know this very well."
It’s really hard to say how much Feng Xiaogang listened to Ye Ming’s words.
At that moment, Feng Xiaogang waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about this later. I'm not here for this problem. Aren't we an offensive and defensive alliance? Although I have been making movies, I have also been paying attention to your affairs. Your Infernal Affairs propaganda,
Compared with Wuji's publicity, there is a certain gap. How do you plan to make up for this gap?"
Ye Ming opened his laptop and directly played [A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun]. After the video was played, Feng Xiaogang almost burst out laughing: "You, you are too bad, you can't watch a short film like this
If you dare to make it, if Lao Chen really sees this short film, he will fight you to the death."
Ye Ming immediately made his position clear and said: "I did not make this. Our Huihuang.com recently launched a photography competition. At this time, we select some works taken by netizens and determine the ranking based on the number of clicks and downloads.
, the first place will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and can sign a contract with our Huihuang Film and Television or Huihuang.com. This depends on your own personal interests.
Even if Director Chen is angry, it was not shot by us, but by netizens themselves. It was not selected by Europe and the United States, but by netizens themselves. This matter has nothing to do with us at Huihuang.com. We are just saying
It just provides a platform.”
In three days, Huihuang.com's "A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" had more than 60,000 clicks and more than 20,000 downloads. The odds are three to one. Such a result is quite incredible. You know, the number of clicks on the Internet
It does not mean that it represents the number of downloads. Only registered users can download videos. Sixty thousand clicks and thirty thousand registered users are already quite good. In other words, in a situation like this, it is actually
Two out of every three registered netizens downloaded [A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun]. Now Wuji has truly lost all elegance.
Brother Chen Kai was so angry that he smashed everything in the office. He roared: "I spent more than one million yuan in publicity expenses, and the reputation I finally built up was actually ruined by this small video clip. You
Go online and see what those netizens are saying. Is this what Chen Kai is capable of? What a gangster, this bastard’s short film is more popular than our trailer."
Chen Hong knew that in such a situation, Zhuang Taixia and Chen Kai's mood could be imagined. In such a situation, no one could persuade Chen Kai.
At that moment, Chen Hong could only say helplessly: "Old Chen, a movie edited by a small netizen, what can be done about it? If you are angry with this person, you are giving him face. Why are you doing this?
, he doesn’t deserve to make you angry at all.”
Brother Chen Kai actually understood what he said, but in such a situation, it was difficult for Brother Chen Kai to swallow his breath. His eyes were red. Those two eyes seemed to kill people and he said: "I know this.
But I can't swallow this breath. Wuji is a movie that I have put all my efforts into and bet on my future. No matter what it is, I have no choice but to put all my money into it. You also know that "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is such a failure.
The blow to me was considerable, and my right to fail is only this time. If I haven't succeeded this time, I won't even think about making big productions in the future."
In fact, not only does Hollywood have the right to fail, but even China, which has a less-than-perfect film industry, also has the right to fail.
For ordinary directors, if they lose money one time, they won't have much chance the next time. But people like Chen Kaige, one of China's two international directors, still get special preferential treatment. One failure doesn't mean anything. Therefore, he
After [Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin], actually at a time like this, there was still a chance to come back again.
Therefore, this Wuji was born.
It is also a big production, with an all-star cast. This is the preferential treatment given to international directors in terms of their right to fail. But if he fails again this time, then he will not have the right to touch a blockbuster. If he chooses to shoot a small film
As for production, even if Brother Chen Kai fails twice, there will be no problem. After all, where is his reputation? But if an international director like Brother Chen Kai does not shoot big productions, his score will be somewhat lowered.
Yes, at least according to Brother Chen Kai's opinion, he would never want something like this to happen.
Therefore, this time he saw [A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun] actually pranked his own Wuji, how could he endure it?
At this time, Brother Chen Kai patted the table very resolutely and said: "Sue, go on, you must go on. What is the name of the person who made the video? Hu Ge? You tell me, I will sue this bastard, this
Is this an infringement of my intellectual property rights? Did I let him use my film clips?"
To be honest, what Brother Chen Kai said is quite reasonable. If you used a clip from my movie without my permission at this time, it would be a violation of the law. Therefore, at this time, if I ask the court
It would be very easy to sue you in times like this.
At this time, Chen Hong was hesitant to sue. Brother Chen Kai is a great director, and every move he makes attracts the attention of many people. Therefore, in a situation like this, if the great director Chen Kai goes to sue a small netizen,
, and the reason used is that it is copyright infringement, which is not wrong, but it somewhat shows that a big international director has a little more ambition.
This is very detrimental to Brother Chen Kai's reputation. As his wife and manager, Chen Hong is not very willing to have such a thing happen at this time. Therefore, at this time, Chen Hong hesitated and said: "Old man
Chen, should we consider this matter in the long term? I think it is inappropriate to rashly file a lawsuit."
In fact, this matter can be litigated, but Brother Chen Kai cannot. At this time, Brother Chen Kai also hesitated, calmed down a little, and then said: "Don't sue yet, but if you tell me, I reserve the right to sue. When the time comes, I won't
Excluding suing to protect my copyright."
Retaining rights is a moderate approach.
At this time, Hu Ge was immersed in happiness. In this photography competition, he never thought that he would come from behind and be able to stand in the first place. If we look at the development momentum of this event,
If so, then the first place in this first online photography competition will definitely be Hu Ge.
However, Hu Ge was not happy about the incident for long. He immediately learned another thing from the Internet, that is, director Chen Kaige had already spoken out and reserved the right to sue Hu Ge and Huihuang.com.
This point of view also caused an uproar on the Internet. For a while, netizens were paying attention to who Hu Ge was and how could He De make director Chen Kaige go to war.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Kai's participation, everyone was very curious about what video made Chen Kai so angry. For a while, [Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun] became a big hit.
