Chapter 800 Press Conference (Part 1)

There are many high-quality scripts in Shen Xudong's notebook, such as "Blood Guanyin", "Big Buddha", and "Sunshine".

"Blood Guanyin" has been released and won the Golden Horse and Academy Awards. There are still seven or eight scripts left...

None of them make money!

"Blood Guanyin" invested 70 million yuan. Looking at the box office revenue alone, the total box office in Asia was about 120 million yuan, but it was not released in the mainland...

The cost has not been recovered at all!

But it made Gong Li happy, and he brought out Wang Ou and Guan Xiaotong...

Movies don’t necessarily have to make money!

Moreover, whether it makes money or not has a lot to do with the main cast. How could a movie like "One Second" have sold over 100 million if it hadn't been directed by Zhang Yimou?

Zhang Yimou still has appeal...

Director Chen has always admired Shen Xudong, and he has always felt that this guy is hiding something!

After three years in the United States, how could it be possible that no new scripts were produced?

After reading it, I feel excited...

Director Chen first read the script of "Big Buddha" and was very excited: "This script of "Big Buddha" is really good..."

"It's good, but it's not suitable for you..."

"Can't I play the role of a homeless person?"

"You have to rely on acting. Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei put on a little makeup and that's it!"

The proposed invitation list includes Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei and Ge You...

Director Chen... he knows himself very well, and his image is very suitable for the middle class...

You can go up, but it’s a bit difficult to go down. You need to convince the audience, and the cost of persuasion is very difficult!

"...This "Sunshine" is about the... cracks in a family?"

"That's right. I read a lot of Yuan Zhesheng's novels during that time, and then I wrote this story..."

"I've never experienced it, so I definitely can't write well... Maybe Zhang Yimou wants to challenge himself?"

Director Chen did not answer, but said: "Xudong...can you send me these scripts later..."

Shen Xudong thought for a while and then said: "Okay, but you can't leak the secret..."

"rest assured!"

…

After "Three Guns", Zhang Yimou was very dissatisfied with Zhang Weiping!

In the three years after "Golden Armor", Zhang Yi was busy with the Olympics, and there was no income from new pictures...

Zhang Weiping was so persistent that Zhang Yi felt sorry for him, so he filmed "Three Shots" - a script he bought directly.

Then, Zhang Weiping continued to default on his remuneration, and "The Hawthorn Tree" defaulted again...

When Gao Fenfen heard this, she was quite speechless and asked directly: "Why don't you sue him?"

"We didn't sign the contract, so it's hard to sue..."

"Why didn't you sign the contract? Brothers also have to settle accounts!"

Speaking of this, Gao Fenfen came up with a report: "We have investigated and found that all the works invested by New Picture Company are funded by external sources. Zhang Weiping regards himself as the spokesperson of Qi. Whenever an investor comes to him, he will New Picture Pictures is required to be one of the producers, and the domestic distribution rights are handed over to him, and the box office profits are distributed proportionally to him. He just treats you as a cash cow!"

"…I got it now!"

"Then don't talk to him... You didn't sign a contract anyway, so you don't even have to pay the breach of contract fee!"

"What about "Thirteen Hairpins"?"

Gao Fenfen said: "...The copyright has been taken over by us. We have discussed with China Films how to promote and distribute it. There will be dedicated publicity staff to review the process with you tomorrow... By the way, you have to come to the press conference tomorrow! "

"News conference?"

"The copyright belongs to us, we have to make it known... Xudong will come tomorrow too!"

"That…"

"If you have any other concerns, just ask!"

Amou talked about his child...

Gao Fenfen was speechless... She really thought that Zhang Yi had some particularly important information that fell into Zhang Weiping's hands!

For example, espionage, promiscuity, tax evasion, etc...

That's it?

"fine…"

Gaofenfen was delighted: "We will pay the fine for you..."

"...I don't know, I have never participated in the casting of major directors, but it must be fake!"

"How to say?"

Chen Xi said: "If it's true, there's no way I haven't heard of it!"

"Perhaps you are just making a living in the circle and don't dare to break the news? Or are you giving enough in return?"

Gao Fenfen changed the subject: "Please notify us and let the legal department resolve this matter as soon as possible!"

…

The next day, December 12, Tianmei Media held a press conference.

Generally, media companies will greet the media in advance during meetings. Otherwise, why would the media come to interview them?

However, the content of this Tianmei press conference was kept confidential, and it was only mentioned that it was related to the Lunar New Year festival...

Regarding the Lunar New Year slot... could it be that "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is about to be postponed again?

Have you reached a settlement with "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"?

In addition, it was also revealed that Shen Xudong will also attend this press conference!

This is enough!

The press conference was tentatively scheduled to be held at 10:30. Just after 10 o'clock, media from all walks of life had already arrived. The door of the venue had not yet opened, so they had to wait outside.

A group of people speculated about what happened...

Since it was still early, the veterans were smoking and kicking in groups, while the newcomers were looking left and right, nervous but with a hint of excitement...

Xiao Shitou was a newcomer. Seeing such a big battle for the first time, he couldn't help but ask the newspaper senior: "Sister, what do you think happened?"

"It must be a big event. Otherwise, there is no need to hold a press conference. Just announce it on Weibo!"

"I also think it's a big deal...but I looked at Shen Xudong and Gao Fenfen's Weibo, and their Weibo updates are normal..."

"Fool, Weibo is for business, not... the door is open, it's quite on time today!"

While talking, the door opened, everyone signed in, lined up and walked in. A staff member arranged tea...

The location of the small stone is in the third row from the bottom...

He looked around curiously and was about to ask his seniors what to pay attention to. The discussion in the venue suddenly cleared up and Chen Xi and Gao Fenfen walked in...

When the reporters saw this cast, they were immediately disappointed. Didn't they say that Shen Xudong would come?

Just as he was about to complain, someone else came in. Shen Xudong, Xu Ke... and Amou walked in, followed by three men in bank uniforms...

There is a name tag on it, and those with sharp eyes can see the words "Minsheng Bank" written on it!

The place immediately boiled!
