At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 801 Press Conference
Zhang Yimou is here, and has a close relationship with Xu Ke...

What does it mean?
Minsheng Bank is also here...

"Quiet!" Gao Fenfen said first: "I wasted everyone's time, let me say something first, just one thing, our company took over the promotion and distribution of "Jinling Thirteen Beauties"... "Jinling Thirteen Beauties" afternoon It will be officially released at 6 o'clock, and besides, "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" directed by Xu Ke won't be able to meet you until the 23rd..."

After succinctly announcing the news he wanted to announce, Gao Fenfen went straight to the topic:
"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask!"

Immediately someone raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, how did you take over the promotion and distribution of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"? What about New Picture Company? They agreed?"

"Because the new picture broke the contract, Minsheng Bank took back the copyright of "Jinling Thirteen Beauties"... Then we have been cooperating with Minsheng Bank, and they asked us to promote and distribute it, so we will take over!"

While talking, Gao Fenfen invited three Minsheng Bank staff to answer specific questions...

The staff of Minsheng Bank said, "Minsheng Bank provided a loan of 1.5 million yuan to New Picture. The loan was used for the filming of the movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", and the collateral was the copyright of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". Suspected of tax evasion before the release, a serious breach of contract, our bank has the right to take back the copyright...'

"Tax evasion?"

"...The case is still under investigation. Since we are the lender, we deliberately contacted the Ministry of Public Security before we found out about it!"

The reporters at the scene were silent for a long time, and then asked like crazy: "Xudong, Zhang Weiping broke the law, do you know?"

"...Where do I know? I don't even know him!"

Immediately a reporter asked Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, do you know these things?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head: "I...I don't know...I only make movies..."

Asked a lot of questions...

Although it is a wild story, everyone present is a master of Tai Chi, so they will not reveal any real news at all!
Could it be that Shen Xudong will openly admit that he caused Zhang Weiping to be investigated?
What a joke, unless he's out of his mind!

"Okay, there are three more questions. If you have any questions, hurry up!"

Xiao Shitou desperately raised his hand, and Chen Xi saw it: "What's your problem?"

"I would like to ask, "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" and "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" are both distributed by Tianmei Media. Will that cause internal competition?"

Chen Xi said: "No, we have calculated that there will be an interval of about ten days. "Thirteen Hairpins" will be released first, and will take 4 million yuan first; "Dragon Gate" will follow, and "Dragon Gate" will take up 60%. Hairpin” accounted for 40%, and after 10 billion at the box office, “Thirteen Hairpins” could reach almost 4 million, or 8 million, and “Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate” ended up with 6 million. This is called achieving a win-win situation!”

Gao Fenfen answered: "I want to review here. I did something out of anger because of a moment of anger. In fact, Director Xu Ke and Director Zhang Yimou are directors who have made great contributions to Chinese films. We distribute to help these The film maximizes the market, rather than hurting each other. Moreover, the two directors have known each other for decades, and the relationship has always been very good. When director Yi went to Hong Kong to film "The Love of Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Wars", director Xu Ke was the director of that film Producer...Because of the internal distribution company's emotional dispute, let the two friends fight head-on, I also feel sorry for them..."

This question is not nutritious, and the second question comes.

"Xudong, you had such a fight with the new picture before, why did you take over "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?"

Shen Xudong replied earnestly: "...Because the background of this movie is the Nanjing Massacre, let's be honest, director Zhang Yimou's influence is indeed world-class, especially in Japan... Everyone knows that Japan has been so far. No public acknowledgment of the massacre...A Chinese director with world-class influence makes a film with the Nanjing massacre in the background..."

"And it's not a so-called anti-war movie like "Nanjing! Nanjing!"...I really can't bear to have this movie ruined by stupid people..."

"Stupid people? You mean Zhang Weiping?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, I can't figure it out until now. This movie has so much to promote and so much to talk about. Why only focus on the passion scenes and sex scenes to hype? This propaganda point is too insulting, not only insulting the movie itself , and insulted more than 1000 staff members who worked so hard for this movie!"

Seeing Shen Xudong put down the microphone, Chen Xi got up and said, "There is one more question...Who wants to ask?"

"I want to ask... Will Director Zhang cooperate with Tianmei Media in the future?"

"...This..." Zhang Yimou was about to answer, Shen Xudong raised the microphone: "I will answer this question, you guessed it, we are discussing the specific cooperation method with director Yimou...but for the time being, our focus is on " On Thirteen Hairpins, we will have a better discussion after the movie is released, and if there is a result, we will announce it to the outside world as soon as possible!"

……

The whole circle is boiling!

Tianmei Media took over "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", two Zhangs separated, and Shen Xudong publicly announced that Zhang Yimou will cooperate with Tianmei Media...

The three messages immediately swiped the screen.

People in the circle... especially the people in the Beijing circle reacted fiercely. You must know that Zhang Yimou is from the Northwest Circle, and he can't get along with the Beijing circle. Therefore, whether it is Feng Xiaogang or Wang Shuo, they made a lot of yin and yang remarks. Wang Shuo Publicly claimed that 'Zhang Yimou is a stinking shit! '...

Shen Xudong, as the new leader in the Beijing circle, how can he cooperate with Zhang Yimou?

This is the opinion of some old-fashioned people...

Where is the circle now?
Even Gao Xiaosong can bring in a cost of 3000 million yuan to tinker with a movie. Is he considered in the Beijing circle?

Oh, I heard that the Huang family brothers are very angry... But there is no specific news, and yes, under the influence of Chen Guofu, Huayi Film Department is vigorously absorbing artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan circles...

In their eyes, Zhang Yimou was nothing!
What's more, when people go to film, Huang Zhongjun spends money like water, buying a few paintings a year, and waving hundreds of millions with a wave of his hand. He travels in a luxury car and lives in a luxury house. Every flower and grass in the house smells like money.

The media's response is relatively normal, that is, simply reporting this matter;

Instead, netizens mentioned a problem, which made the company very tangled: the North American screening of "Thirteen Hairpins"!

After taking over the distribution, the Tianmei staff knew that the global distribution of "Thirteen Hairpins" had almost stagnated, especially the North American distribution. It was not Zhang Weiping's bragging about opening the film in 2000 theaters. The company that took over the distribution was a small company called Wrekin Hill…

It was established last year, and has released two films, "The Way Back" and "Heather", which is far from a strength...

The reason why Zhang Weiping came to them was because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor!
In fact, the Toronto Film Festival has gone, and no company has taken over at all...

It is said that it is because of the obstruction of the Japanese benzene forces...

Shen Xudong called Joseph to ask about it. The latter investigated and said, "The main reason is that Zhang Weiping's asking price is too high. No company is willing to pay a high price to buy out the copyright after watching a 20-minute movie...The conditions are very strict, and many of them have a little bit of strength." The publisher left, and Wrekin Hill signed a split..."

"So are you optimistic about this company?"

"I heard that the film crew of "Thirteen Hairpins" didn't give a dime to the distribution company, and I guess the distribution company won't contribute either!"
