A few days later, Chen Hong said very firmly: "Old Chen, now we have an opportunity. Ye Ming simply doesn't take you seriously, which directly signed Hu Ge to their company.
This is blatantly against you. We can't give up easily. When you were filming the movie, Ye Ming was still playing in the mud somewhere. We must seize this opportunity and make Infernal Affairs beyond redemption.
"
Brother Chen Kai nodded and said: "That's good. Your news is very timely. Since there are leaders in the General Administration who don't like Infernal Affairs, then this is a space worth operating. I will visit the old leaders tonight, tomorrow.
On the 18th, a press conference will be held. If someone from the General Administration will appear at the press conference to tell the news, I think it must be very good. Movies are not only banned.
Ye Ming, this kid wants to fight with me, so he needs to be more young."
Anyway, it seems to Brother Chen Kai that as long as he can deal with Ye Ming, then Brother Chen Kai will be very happy to do so.
At this time, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping, and Wang Zhongjun were sitting in a private room of a hotel. These three people were also discussing matters with the New Film Alliance. Wang Zhongjun said excitedly, "I didn't expect that this guy Ye Ming can bring us
It was such a big surprise. At this time, the people from the New Film Alliance were already willing to compromise. Yesterday, they came to me and said they were discussing a share of the money. Obviously, thirty-five is unlikely.
Infernal Affairs is liked by many viewers. Ye Ming's promotion method on the Internet is now well known to everyone. It saves a lot compared to Chen Kaige's more than 2 million yuan promotion. Look at this. Public opinion
Xiang, people from the New Film Alliance still have to think about it. And Ye Ming himself is also a shareholder of the New Film Alliance. This time the New Film Alliance wants to admit defeat, which is quite difficult."
It is said that the New Film Alliance is the overlord of the Chinese cinema chain. They have a background of state-owned enterprises, so naturally they will not give in easily. But this time Infernal Affairs passed the review, and it has a unique way of promoting it. This is what the New Film Alliance is worried about.
local.
Zhang Yimou was not very optimistic about this matter. He said with some worry, "Mr. Wang is relatively optimistic, but I am not very optimistic about this matter. Ye Ming's ability is good, and the time, place and people are favorable."
They all seemed to be on Ye Ming's side, and I also watched the movie. It was a pretty good movie. But Ye Ming was too arrogant.
Signing Hu Ge directly is offending Brother Chen Kai to death. This is not a good phenomenon. I am very done with Lao Chen. He is a cultural man with no leftovers and is very proud.
There is no room for others to be better than him. He and I separated immediately after we worked together on Yellow Earth.
It's not that this person has no tolerance for others. But there is a premise that you can't be better than him. Ye Ming originally offended him, because the [Crazy Stone] thing was actually meant to make Lao Chen hate Ye to death.
Clearly.
This time because of the video Hu Ge made, the hatred is probably greater than last time. Lao Chen will definitely fight with all his strength."
When it comes to understanding Brother Chen Kai, Zhang Yimou has quite a say. But Zhang Weiping said: "Old Zhang, I can't be on your side this time. Didn't Ye Ming's film have passed the censorship, and you also said quite a lot
It’s a good movie, what else can Lao Chen do?”
Brother Chen Kai had the opportunity to see Ye Ming's film in advance, and Zhang Yimou, who is also a great international director from China, had the same channel.
Zhang Yimou said it was a good film, so it should be a good film. Zhang Weiping thought this was not a big deal, and the root cause was Zhang Yimou's judgment.
Zhang Yimou shook his head at this time and said: "It's hard to say. It's because I've seen Ye Ming's Infernal Affairs that I know that he passed this review as a sideline. I dare say that without Ye Ming's status as the Olympic bid ambassador,
In such a situation, there is simply no possibility of passing.
Lao Chen's character, haha, I don't think he will give up. Let's see the outcome of this matter. If tomorrow's press conference goes well, we will have the opportunity to modify this share before Infernal Affairs is released, otherwise our work will be in vain.
It’s a big deal. It’s not easy to break this split.”
Wang Zhongjun said without any worry: "Well, Director Zhang, you are worrying too much. Ye Ming is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is not easy to deal with him. Old Chen has not been able to take advantage of Ye Ming yet."
Well, I think this time there will be no exception. I think people from the New Film Alliance will come to see me again. They said they would come this afternoon."
Just when Wang Zhongjun was a hundred times more confident, someone from the company called and said that people from the New Film Alliance had already called and the meeting had been postponed. They said it was because the leadership team of the New Film Alliance went abroad to inspect the success of Harry Potter.
On the way. This reason makes Wang Zhongjun a little depressed. What kind of reason is this?
At that moment, Zhang Weiping saw that Wang Zhongjun looked a little unhappy, so he asked what happened. At this time, Wang Zhongjun became a little worried and said: "The people from the New Film Alliance said they would come to me this afternoon, but it didn't happen.
Come on, something seems to have gone wrong. Let’s wait a few days to talk about it. I think people from the New Film Alliance will definitely bring this up before Infernal Affairs is released. Without changing the share, Lao Chen’s movie will not be Ye Ming’s movie at all.
The opponents, Infernal Affairs and Wuji, will judge each other."
This is Wang Zhongjun's confidence. No matter how you look at it, Infernal Affairs is a pretty good movie. Zhang Yimou said with some worry: "I hope so."
Although there are some conflicts between him and Ye Ming, at least they have common interests on an issue such as the offensive and defensive alliance. Brother Chen Kai is their common enemy. If they can only defeat Brother Chen Kai, then in such a
Under such circumstances, there is a possibility of success.
The next day, Ye Ming's Infernal Affairs and Brother Chen Kai's The Promise held a press conference at the same time in the conference room of Shangri-La Hotel. This time, everyone's goal was very clear, and they all made it clear that they would overwhelm the other party. Brother Chen Kai was a big deal.
, Zhang Dongjian, Hiroyuki Sanada, Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Baizhi and other leading actors were all present, and there were more than 300 media from across the Taiwan Strait, South Korea, Japan, etc.
This scale is a little bigger than [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin]. On such a problem, Brother Chen Kai has spent a lot of money. It can actually be seen at this moment. He invited Zhang Dongjian and Sanada Hiroyuki to
The purpose is to target the Korean and Japanese markets. This time, Brother Chen Kai made the right bet. As expected, the media in these two countries paid considerable attention to Wuji.
Reporter Hi Park In-yong of South Korea's national TV station and Kenzo Sakuragi of Japan's Asahi Shimbun are both big reporters in their countries' news circles. This time they came to target Jang Dong-ken and Hiroyuki Sanada, who are big stars in their countries.
He is also an emperor-superstar-level existence.
At the press conference, Sun Nan, a young female reporter from [Southern Sunday], was the first to speak: "Director Chen, one of the questions readers want to know is what kind of situation made you have the idea to shoot a movie.
As for the idea of a blockbuster film, you know, there is no domestic film with more investment than [The Promise]?"
Brother Chen Kai smiled and said: "I have had this idea since watching Titanic. Why is it that Hollywood can film Titanic, but we don't have such a big-budget movie? That's our movie.
People's minds are not open enough, and they are not courageous enough. A few million dollars is not even enough for a Hollywood A-list star.
You said how can we make a good movie with such investment, so I thought about making a real big production, let Hollywood and people around the world see it. In such a situation, we in China are also
It can be shot in a large-scale production. And in order to let everyone see the wonderful magical blockbuster, our special effects are produced by a Hollywood special effects team, which is the special effects team of Titanic."
Regardless of whether what Brother Chen Kai said is true or not. But Wuji's special effects cannot be done domestically, and no one can refute this. Therefore, in a situation like this, at this time, if Brother Chen Kai says it is from Hollywood, then it is from Hollywood.
, at least the reporters think this is a good news point.
At this time, Ye Ming's press conference, Lao Bai from [Southern Sunday], Yu Guo from Entertainment Daily, and several other relatively familiar reporters were all here. In fact, Lao Bai also received information from Brother Chen Kai
He was invited, but Lao Bai felt that his own experience told him that Ye Ming was not a simple person, and there would definitely be a big news or something. Therefore, he asked one of his colleagues to go to Brother Chen Kai.
At this time, he, Yu Guo and other acquaintances arrived at Ye Ming's Infernal Affairs press conference. At this time, Lao Bai took a look at the scene and said with some emotion: "Ye Ming really did not disappoint us.
, both Zhou Runfa and Cheng Long are here. Such a scene is definitely higher than Wuji. But there is one thing I don’t understand about Brother Chen Kai. Doesn’t he know that Yi Cheng made a guest appearance in Ye Ming’s Infernal Affairs on Tuesday?
, at this time, I still compete with Ye Ming in a star lineup. Ordinarily, Lao Chen should not make such a low-level mistake."
Yu Guo thought for a while and said: "I think this question may be because the hatred between Lao Chen and Ye Ming is not so great. At such a time, he was so angry that he lost his mind. No matter how this happened,
To put it bluntly, Lao Chen himself is a golden brand, but speaking of it, he also suffered a lot."
At this time, Ye Ming and Xiang Huaqiang walked into the scene slowly. The most important people are often the last to arrive at the scene. Because Ye Ming is the director and starring, it doesn't matter that he is the last to arrive at the scene, while Xiang Huaqiang
Qiang is an investor and a very senior filmmaker. He finally came in with Ye Ming. Andy and the others had nothing to say.
However, the most unforgettable thing about this press conference was not the appearance of Ye Ming and Xiang Huaqiang, but the fact that Ye Ming just said welcome to everyone. At this time, people from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television came. These people came
At that time, he was a little aggressive. He didn't take Ye Ming into his eyes at all, and said directly to Ye Ming: "Mr. Ye, unfortunately, I have to tell you some news. According to the decision from above, this time, some unknown things have appeared in Infernal Affairs."
The question is, the distribution is temporarily suspended. When will the ban be lifted? It depends on the subsequent revision review."
At this time, all the media were in an uproar. Although it was not banned, everyone could hear that a movie that had been censored had its screening license withdrawn directly and needed to be censored. Anyone with a discerning eye could
It seems unusual. There must be something fishy. Ye Ming doesn't have the final say as to how long the review lasts.
If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you don’t, you can do it. If you say you can’t do it, you can’t do it, and you can’t do it either. To be continued
