Chapter 801 Press Conference (Part 2)

Zhang Yi is here and has a close relationship with Xu Ke...

What does it mean?

Minsheng Bank is also here...

"Quiet!" Gao Fenfen spoke first: "I've wasted everyone's time. Let me tell you one thing first. Our company has taken over the promotion and distribution work of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"... "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" afternoon It will be officially released at 6 o'clock. In addition, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" directed by Xu Ke will not be available to everyone until the 23rd..."

Gao Fenfen announced the news he wanted to announce concisely and concisely, and Gao Fenfen went directly to the topic:

"Okay, if you have anything to ask, just ask!"

Someone immediately raised their hands and said, "Excuse me, how did you take over the promotion and distribution of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"? What about New Picture Company? Did they agree?"

"Due to the breach of contract on the new picture, Minsheng Bank took back the copyright of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"... We have been cooperating with Minsheng Bank, and they asked us to promote and distribute it, so we took over!"

While talking, Gao Fenfen invited three staff members from China Minsheng Bank to come over and answer specific questions...

Minsheng Bank staff said, "Minsheng Bank provided a 150 million loan 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". Now, Zhang Weiping is in the movie Before the release, he was suspected of tax evasion and serious breach of contract. Our bank has the right to take back the copyright...'

"Tax evasion?"

"...The case is still under investigation. Because we are the lender, we specifically contacted the Ministry of Public Security before we found out about this!"

The reporters at the scene were silent for a long time, and then asked like crazy: "Xudong, do you know about Zhang Weiping's illegal behavior?"

"...How can I know? I don't even know him!"

Immediately, a reporter asked Zhang Yi: "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 shocking news, everyone present is a master of Tai Chi and will not reveal any real information at all!

Could it be that Shen Xudong would openly admit that he was responsible for Zhang Weiping being investigated?

What a joke, unless he's out of his mind!

"Okay, there are three more questions. If you have anything to ask, please hurry up!"

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

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

Chen Xi said: "No, we have calculated that after about ten days, "Thirteen Hairpins" will come first and get 400 million; followed by "Dragon Gate", "Dragon Gate" will account for 60%, and "Thirteen Hairpins" will go first. "The Hairpin" accounts for 40%, and the next 1 billion box office, "The Thirteen Hairpins" will be almost 400 million, which is 800 million, and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will last 600 million. This is called a win-win situation!"

Gao Fenfen responded: "I want to review here. I did something out of anger out of anger. In fact, Director Xu Ke and Director Zhang Yimou are directors who have made great contributions to Chinese films. We are doing distribution to help these people." The film aims to maximize the market, rather than hurting each other. Moreover, the two directors have known each other for decades and have always had a good relationship. When director Yi went to Hong Kong to film "Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors", Xu Ke was the director of that film. The producer…because of the dispute between the distribution company and the two friends, I feel sorry for them to have them fight each other head on…”

This question is not nutritious. Here comes the second question.

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

Shen Xudong answered seriously: "...because the background of this movie is the Nanjing Massacre. Let's be honest, the influence of director Zhang Yi is indeed world-class, especially influential in Japan... Everyone also knows that Japan is now There is no public acknowledgment of the massacre...a world-famous Chinese director makes a film with the background of the Nanjing Massacre..."

"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 person? You mean Zhang Weiping?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, I still can't figure it out. This movie has so much to promote and so much worth telling. Why only focus on the passion scenes and sex scenes? This publicity point is so insulting. It not only insults the movie itself. , and insulted the more than a thousand staff members who worked so hard on this movie!"

Chen Xi saw Shen Xudong put down the microphone, stood up and said, "I have another question...who wants to ask?"

"I would like to ask...will Director Zhang cooperate with Tianmei Media in the future?"

"...This..." Zhang Yi was about to answer when Shen Xudong raised the microphone: "Let me answer this question. You guessed it, we are discussing specific cooperation methods with Director Yi... But for the time being, our focus is 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 excited!

Tianmei Media took over "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", the two Zhangs split up, and Shen Xudong publicly announced that Zhang Yimou would soon cooperate with Tianmei Media...

Three messages immediately flooded the screen.

People in the circle...especially those in the Beijing circle reacted fiercely. You must know that Zhang Yi is from the northwest circle and is completely incompatible with the Beijing circle. Therefore, both Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo made a lot of shady remarks. Wang Shuo Publicly claiming that 'Zhang Yi is a stinky shit! ’…

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

This is considered to be some of the views of more old-school people...

Where is the circle now?

Even Gao Xiaosong can raise 30 million yuan to make a movie. Is he considered a member of the Beijing circle?

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

In their eyes, Zhang Yimou is nothing!

Moreover, when people go to movies, Huang Zhongjun spends money like water. He buys a few paintings a year and makes hundreds of millions with a wave of his hand. He travels in luxury cars and lives in mansions. Every flower and grass in his house exudes the smell of money.

The media’s response was relatively normal and they simply reported this matter;

However, netizens mentioned an issue that troubled the company: the North American screening of "Thirteen Hairpins"!

After taking over the distribution, Tianmei staff learned that the global distribution of "Thirteen Hairpins" had almost come to a standstill, especially the North American distribution. It was not at all the 2,000 theaters Zhang Weiping boasted about. The company that took over the distribution was a small company called "Thirteen Hairpins". Wrekin Hill…

It was established last year and has released two movies, "The Way Back" and "Heather", which can't be said to be powerful at all...

The reason why Zhang Weiping came to see them was because he was in a hurry and sought medical treatment!

In fact, even though I went to the Toronto Film Festival, no company took over at all...

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

Shen Xudong called Joseph and asked Joseph, who investigated it and then said: "The main reason is that Zhang Weiping's price is too high. No company is willing to pay a high price to buy out the copyright after just watching a 20-minute film...The conditions are very harsh, and many have some strength." The publisher left, and Wrekin Hill signed a split contract..."

"Then are you optimistic about this company?"

"I heard that the producer of "Thirteen Hairpins" didn't give a cent to the distribution company, and I guess the distribution company won't contribute any money either!"
