Chapter 793 Fairy Sister

"If you want to watch "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", don't choose Jiahe Cinema. We won't show it... Zhang Weiping shouldn't go to the Film Bureau, China Film or China Film to complain. It's useless to complain. We at Jiahe refuse to show it. We Don’t make this money!”

After reading Shen Xudong's Weibo, Gao Jun felt a little... weak.

And not releasing "Thirteen Hairpins" is indeed a loss for the theater chain.

Cinemas largely rely on releasing new movies to attract audiences!

"Thirteen Hairpins" is indeed one of the most anticipated movies this year. If Golden Harvest abandons its release, it will definitely affect theater revenue...

Gao Jun asked back: "Mr. Shen, can we show "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"?"

"...and then united with the theaters to suppress "Thirteen Hairpins"?"

Hearing this, Gao Jun became excited: "I will contact several theater directors immediately..."

It’s too easy to suppress a movie. For example, although there was a schedule of movies in the past few days, they were concentrated in morning and midnight screenings, and they were only scheduled to be shown in small halls...

After three or five days, the popularity of the movie has dropped, and then the schedule will resume normally...

This is the case with any movie. There are many people watching it at the beginning, but fewer and fewer people watch it later. Therefore, there is the classic saying that "it is easy to ruin a movie."

Shen Xudong glared at him: "If we really do this, the audience will complain!"

"What are you complaining about?"

"This is equivalent to choosing one of the two, kidnapping the audience..."

Gao Jun retorted: "How can this be considered a choice between two? Movies are not daily necessities. It's okay to watch one, but not two?"

"...Two heavyweight blockbusters came out on the same day. There is no winner. They are all just trying to compete for publicity. I think it is not good for Chinese movies! Zhang Yimou and Tsui Hark are both directors who have made contributions to Chinese movies. , our purpose in distribution is to help these films maximize the market, rather than harm each other!"

Shen Xudong continued: "There is no problem between the two directors. As the boss, distributor, and producer, we throw the two directors into the same trench and fight. This is very bad! This approach is harmful to the film industry. A lot of damage.”

"Of course I understand this," Gao Jun nodded, then took out his mobile phone: "But you must understand that this is not our fault, it was Zhang Weiping who asked to stop issuing keys..."

Shen Xudong looked at the contents of Gao Jun's mobile phone, and there was a message - all movie theaters affiliated with Golden Harvest will not be able to show the film "The Thirteen Hairpins" one week after its official release.

"One week?"

"Yeah...a week!"

Shen Xudong sighed and changed the subject: "Do you know about the leader's visit to the United States?"

"Know…"

"An important event during his visit to the United States is to re-sign the revenue sharing contract with Hollywood and re-determine the number of imported films..."

Memorandum of understanding between China and the United States on resolving WTO film-related issues...

"how do you know?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "The whole of Hollywood is talking about this matter, and the Xinwen Network also reported it... Don't you know?"

In April 2007, the United States sued the Chinese government to the WTO for certain restrictive measures on films, audio recordings and other products.

In December 2009, the WTO ruled that China violated relevant WTO provisions. In order to implement the Appellate Body's ruling, China and the United States signed the "Memorandum of Understanding between China and the United States on Films for Cinema Exhibition" in February 2012...

"Watch more news broadcasts. Don't you know the big picture and the big changes? I heard them say that the United States asked for 20 more imported films..."

"20 movies? There are already 20 movies now. Then... isn't it 40 movies?"

"right!"

Gao Jun murmured to himself: "Three or four major Hollywood productions are released every month..."

"I guess it will be implemented next month..." Shen Xudong sighed: "That's why I don't want to kill all domestic movies... If he doesn't give the key, we won't release it... I'll bear with it this time..."

After saying that, Shen Xudong looked at Gao Fenfen: "I heard that Zhang Yimou has had enough patience with Zhang Weiping. Find an opportunity to meet Zhang Yimou, sign him, and give him the best treatment."

"The top?"

"Sign a film contract or sign his team. The film contract is for five films and give him a signing fee of 300 million. The second option is to sign a studio contract like Ning Hao and others!"

Gao Jun interjected: "...do you know something?"

Shen Xudong didn't hide anything: "Well, I heard that Zhang Weiping has been arrears with Zhang Yi's salary, and forced him to take more roles, and even ordered him to use Han Tingxi as the heroine of his next film..."

"Who is Han Tingxi?"

"...The girl in the poster of "Thirteen Hairpins"! I heard that she is Wang Yonghong's mistress..."

"The woman of the financial sponsor...I understand!"

"...Then we won't care about Zhang Weiping?"

Shen Xudong asked directly: "Without Zhang Yimou, how can he dance around? Who will pay attention to him?"

…

After saying this, Shen Xudong was about to leave, but Chen Xi pulled him to continue discussing the Chu-Han War...

Well, she has an idea!

Shen Xudong... also thinks it is feasible. The main company has a shooting base in Xiangshan, and the costumes from the "Three Kingdoms" series can be used directly, and they are not particularly expensive!

The cost of about 100 million has a relatively high probability of being recovered.

But he doesn't really want to do it now...

"There is no story to speak of. The conflict between Chu and Han only lasted 4 years. Han Xin was too fierce. The conflict between Chu and Han ended after 4 years. He went north for 3 months to destroy Wei and Zhao and swept Hebei. He went south for 2 months to kill Long Qie and capture the King of Qi. Guang. And all of them have fought with the main force, and the majestic formation will defeat you."

"Then let Han Xin be the protagonist!"

"Han Xin became a doctor under Xiang Yu's account. What is the concept? That is, a staff officer or an officer. Now, a young man with no education, no work experience, and no reputation is working as a staff officer or a security officer directly under the leadership of the top leader. Although it is said that The level is not necessarily certain, but the position is very important. Most people would laugh out loud..." At this point, Shen Xudong suddenly stopped: "It's not impossible to play Han Xin as the protagonist... but who is suitable to play Han Xin?"

"Gao Xixi's "The War between Chu and Han" used Duan Yihong... I think we can use Daniel Wu to play Xiang Yu, and then... I'll take a call!"

While Chen Xi was talking, his cell phone rang. He took it out and sneered: "Liu Tianxian!"

"Who is Liu Tianxian?"

"The fairy sister Liu Yifei... you won't forget her!"

"...I almost forgot, answer the phone!"

Shen Xudong has not seen Liu Yifei for almost three years. She was originally cast in "A Chinese Ghost Story", but it was time for Nazha to make her debut, so she was replaced!

Just be good-looking. In terms of looks, Nazha is no worse than Liu Tianxian...

"The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" was once again suppressed by "First Love". There was no way, "East Palace" was so popular that it directly made Reba famous. The most important thing is that Li Rengang's audience trust has been negative, even after "Hongmen Banquet" was added The word 'legend' is useless.

Chen Xi has hung up the phone: "...Liu Yifei invited me to dinner, do you want to come with me?"

Shen Xudong asked back: "Is it your treat or her treat?"

"Is there any difference?"

"...Let's go then. Let's talk about whether we should make the 'Chu-Han' series, and if so, how we should do it!"
