Chapter 433 Fermentation

Chapter 433 Fermentation…

"The Promise" is really a blockbuster with far-reaching influence. It is not an exaggeration to say that it single-handedly brought down the craze of costume blockbusters...

Of course, "The Promise" just happened at the right time!

Everyone knows that the craze for Chinese costume blockbusters is temporary. Chinese movies cannot rely on one theme to survive in the international arena forever. But now that overseas audiences like this, everyone can only temporarily use these things to sell their own stuff. , and then slowly seek changes, which requires a process.

This process may be 10 years, or 5 years, or shorter...

From the perspective of film history, "The Promise" is just one of the accelerators.

But... no one wants to bear such a crime.

Director Chen has caught up!

As a result, two blockbuster news items, "People can't be so shameless" and "The Promise's overseas failure caused embarrassment to Chinese costume action films" were quickly released...

The former is very embarrassing, but at least there is a claim of "suspected infringement of film copyright" to save its respect...

The latter is even more embarrassing!

Zhang Weiping's "The Golden Armor" and Huang Zhonglei's "The Night Banquet". It is impossible for them to lie, and their words are very pertinent. They said "some influence" and "embarrassing situation"...

This time, Director Chen's reputation was not only ruined, but at least his reputation was ruined...

Of course, people in the industry still support him.

At least, there is no problem in finding investment - there are so many investors, but Director Chen only has one.

Besides, although "The Promise" failed, no one has ever said that "The Promise" has no artistic value or merit...

From a purely artistic point of view, "The Promise" has the beauty of poetry and drama...

It explains the grand proposition of "freedom, love, and destiny" with a dramatic character's fate. In this sense, "The Promise" does have the shadow of ancient Greek tragedy and Shakespeare's tragedy in the same vein!

Pull it back, inside and outside the circle...

People inside the circle may want to help him gain respect, but outside the circle...who cares about you?

——You sell a movie ticket for 80 yuan...

"You hurt everyone who worked hard for "The Promise"? So what should I do if I just spent money to watch the movie and was hurt in my heart? You hurt the audience, why didn't you say anything?"

"You said, 'Can't people be so shameless?' I want to say, 'Movies can't be so bad!'"

"You spent 300 million to make a movie like this, don't you feel guilty?"

The above are remarks about ‘people cannot be so shameless’…

By the way, there is still something to accuse...

Producer Chen said that the producers of "The Promise" were very angry that Hu Ge had edited the original work "The Promise" through video without permission and maliciously vilified "The Promise". This was not only a violation of the copyright and work knowledge of "The Promise" It was a serious infringement of property rights, and it caused great damage to the director's reputation and the box office of "The Promise," and had a very bad impact on the audience. We will sue resolutely! ’

I originally thought it would scare people, but the incident of "The Promise being returned" also broke out...

Various ridicules from netizens:

"'Heroes' can be packaged and sold abroad, and 'The Promise' was immediately returned to Hollywood after seeing it."

"Now you are still insisting, is "The Promise" made for the future? Hollywood has already returned it, and it is still competing for the Olympics. Why is it competing for the Olympics?"

"I don't understand. Since it was filmed for people in the future, why not show it in the future?"

Anyway, the whole Internet is mocking "The Promise" and Director Chen...

Then many people in the entertainment industry came forward.

Director Chen Guojun: The film and television industry is a career for young people and should be supported. He cannot accept criticism or be tolerant to newcomers. He may even make a fuss out of a molehill and use trivial matters to maliciously hype him up, showing his "dominance" of not allowing others to say anything bad about him. The current chaotic situation of China's film industry is due to the fact that there are too many directors like Director Chen who only want to make money and promote themselves. As a result, the Chinese film industry has been brought to its most dangerous moment.

Lu Chuan also said, "The current situation of literary criticism in the Chinese film industry is inherently unhealthy. Over-promotion of films has become more and more common. Driven by interests, public reaction is increasingly disconnected from film reviews." Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to prosecute a vulnerable person. ’

Hong Kong directors are more ‘confused’: ‘I don’t understand what makes Director Chen angry’, ‘‘The Promise’ is so ugly, someone made a prank on it, and it’s too late to welcome it, so why should we sue? ’

By the way, many media outlets are also siding with Hu Ge:

"West China Metropolis Daily": In fact, Hu Ge's "Steamed Bun Murder" has no malicious intent and is not used for commercial purposes. It is purely to make netizens laugh. Mr. Kaige has experienced great storms. As for a so-called "new media film review" "And so furious?

"Shanghai Youth Daily": Everyone has the right to think, and no one has the right to deprive it. Director Chen dares to sue Hu Ge. Can you sue everyone who criticized "The Promise"?

Hehe, he was really good at it. They reported all the content involving him on Station B...and then all the content on Station B was taken down!

Speechless, Teacher Six was ridiculed by the entire Internet, but other people didn’t do this!

There are so many older generation artists and celebrities active on Bilibili, and they don’t mind negative comments;

You can't touch it?

Ahem...

…

In the small restaurant, Shen Xudong introduced Han Yan to Ning Hao: "This is Ning Hao, the director of "Stone"... This is Han Yan, the director of "Life Events". Both of them are young talents..."

Before Shen Xudong finished speaking, Chen Xi complained directly: "Why am I so embarrassed to hear you say this?"

"What's wrong?"

"You are only 22 years old, don't use the term "young talent"!

"...Forget it, you two should get to know each other..."

Shen Xudong didn't bother to make a formal introduction.

Ning Hao and Han Yan... started chatting with each other...

Mainly Han Yan asked, Ning Hao answered...

After all, Ning Hao is somewhat famous - "Incense" and "Green Grass", and he seems to be among the sixth generation of independent directors.

Well, Ning Hao's "Stone" has finished post-production, and now... waiting for its release!

Shen Xudong chatted with Chen Xi: "Don't we need to worry about "A World Without Thieves"?"

"...The Huayi Brothers are in charge of publicity and distribution, so let's not get involved!"

Chen Xi changed the subject: "The Huayi brothers have offended China Film Group this time!"

"Offend China Film Industry?"

"Huang Zhonglei confirmed that "The Promise" has been returned!"

Shen Xudong smiled: "I think China Film should thank "Steamed Buns"!"

Chen Xi thought about it for a while and then agreed...

It's like this. "The Promise" is the film with the largest investment in Chinese film history (approximately 340 million yuan), surpassing "Hero" that year.

The main investor is China Film Group, which is the first film in Han Shanping’s blockbuster project!

"The Promise" is actually an attempt at commercialization and industrialization under the special attention of the General Administration.

Therefore, from the beginning of "The Promise", "Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed"!

From this perspective, Director Chen also received a military order.

Now... if things get like this, not only Director Chen's reputation will be damaged, but China Film and Television will also find it hard to explain.

As the initiator of the project, Director Han needs to be criticized, and "Steamed Buns" happened to appear. This is the best excuse - because of the spoof, "The Promise" failed.

Therefore, China Film Group later stated that it would not be lenient on the alleged infringement of "Steamed Buns", but it would seek a solution that did not lose its dignity.

In what way?

No one knows, and there is no prosecution anyway...

Of course, the temporary situation is that Director Chen has expressed his intention to issue a lawyer's letter, and Hu Ge is under great pressure...

Han Yan and Ning Hao both watched "The Promise". When they heard Shen Xudong and Chen Xi discussing the movie, they couldn't help but ask, "I really can't figure it out, how could "The Promise" be so bad?"
