Light and shadow player

Chapter 421
Cheng Yu'an is running public relations non-stop in the United States, while in China, besides watching his two films from a distance, he has been wary of Zhang Weiping's back tricks.

As Xu Shanzheng said: "Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents."

Of course, the remote public relations department and the legal department don't think that Zhang Weiping can give up with just a few pieces of evidence.

Sure enough, Zhang Weiping made a new move, instead of talking about Zhang Yimou himself, he issued a statement through Weibo, saying that he would take back the jurisdiction of 12 artists including Zhou Dongyu, Dou Xiao, and Nini: "Their current managers are not qualified to work. ... I am the child's biological parents, and Zhang Yimou is just a midwife."

At the end, he said: "I am sorry for Zhang Yimou. I have done everything I can think of... Husband and wife both have a seven-year itch, let alone us."

"Two Zhangs Break Up" was pushed to a climax again. Zhang Yimou has returned to China, but his character has always been non-responsive.

This job was taken over by Yuanyuan's legal department, and now the outside world basically believes that Zhang Yimou's new employer is Yuanyuan.

The remote legal department didn't push too much, and directly posted the signing contracts of Zhou Dongyu, Nini and others on Weibo, which clearly stated that they signed Zhang Yimou's studio.

And said: "Pu Lun (the current manager of Zhou Dongyu Nini and others) has been the actual manager of Zhou Dongyu Nini and other artists from the beginning to now. No one can deny this established legal fact, and it cannot be denied defamatory."

"At present, Zhang Yimou's studio has voluntarily terminated the brokerage contract with Zhou Dongyu, Nini and others. Zhou Dongyu and others signed a contract with Remote Culture the day before yesterday."

The media sneaked into the community where Zhang Yimou’s studio was located, and found that the front of Zhang Yimou’s studio was prosperous. Zhang Yimou’s assistant only said to the reporter’s inquiry: “Director Zhang is preparing a new play, so it is not convenient to receive and respond to journalists and friends.”

Zhang Weiping failed to make a plan and made another plan. The next day, the matter of Zhang Yimou's child was exposed on the Internet.

The person in charge of remote public relations wanted to laugh when he saw it, and he was just waiting for your move.

As soon as the topic was heated up, the relevant department posted on its official website the proof of the fine Zhang Yimou had paid two months earlier.

748 million.

For the sake of the children, Zhang Yimou also responded for the first time: "We hid in XZ; the three children were in school, and the teacher never met the fathers of the children; the father's real name must also be concealed; when going out with the children, at least keep them away." The distance of more than 200 meters... due to my mistake, it will have a great impact on the child's childhood!"

Then, the remote began to take the rhythm.

First, let’s talk about Zhang Yimou’s social status. It’s very easy to avoid fines, all you need to do is change your nationality.But he didn't. He is a Chinese himself, and he hopes that his children are also Chinese.

"Even his eldest daughter, who was studying in the United States, returned her green card after graduation."

At this time, Zhang Yimou's popularity with the audience was revealed. Although the name "National Teacher" was purely joking and ridiculing, the audience was actually very tolerant of Zhang Yimou.

Regarding this matter, the audience just smiled: "Director Zhang is always strong and energetic." Others didn't criticize anything harshly.

Taking it a step further, fines are based on personal income.Zhang Yimou was fined 748 million. People who are interested can roughly calculate Zhang Yimou’s income in those years, and the relevant departments issued a very detailed announcement on Zhang Yimou’s punishment, including the audit department’s verification of his income in those years.

In 00, 2760 yuan.

In 03, 106 million yuan.

In 05, 251 million yuan.

Then the wind turned sharply: "With Zhang Yimou's status, from 00 to 05, Zhang Yimou made three films, "Hero", "Ambush on Ten Daggers" and "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles", and the total income was less than 400 million. It seems that Zhang Weiping was rumored The deduction of Zhang Yimou's remuneration and sharing of accounts is true."

Then, the Long-distance Legal Department was entrusted by Zhang Yimou, and Xinhua and Zhang Weiping were brought to court with a lawsuit.

Zhang Weiping played all his cards and was speechless.

"Zhang Weiping is finished." The consensus in the circle is, "Remote counted all his moves, and Zhang Yimou's popularity with the audience also saved him."

On the same day that the domestic "two breakups" came to an end, the Oscar nominations were announced.

"Hollywood News. The nomination list for the 84th Academy Awards was announced on the evening of January 1th local time. Chinese director Cheng Yu'an's "Hunting" was shortlisted for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay and Five awards for Best Cinematography. A new breakthrough for Mainland directors in Oscars."

Everyone ignores the fact that "The Hunt" is a foreign language film.

Cheng Yu'an became the first mainland director to be nominated for an Oscar!
And 5 nominations, all of them are grand prizes!
On Tuesday, the 24th, the opening of remote film and television responded to the daily limit.

And our director Cheng mainly does two things after finishing the public relations, one is to train with his girlfriend in Los Angeles, and the other is to return to the negotiation of the Sino-US film agreement.

Back at the negotiating team, all the leaders congratulated Cheng Yu'an, especially the leaders of the Ministry of Culture and the Propaganda Department, holding Cheng Yu'an's hand and boasting: "Okay, good. I have seen that you are capable, but I didn't expect that the Chinese New Year is coming soon." Give us such a big gift."

"The leader has won the award." Cheng Yu'an didn't brag, "It's just a nomination. In fact, it is quite difficult to win the award."

"The nomination is already very good, and it has achieved zero breakthrough. Work hard in the future, and try to get an award back!" At the end, I also expressed my complaint, "It is just a little bad, "The Hunt" is a foreign language film , it would be best if it was a Chinese film.”

Without waiting for Cheng Yu'an to explain, the leader smiled heartily: "It's okay, foreign language films are also made by our Chinese filmmakers."

Cheng Yu'an laughed along, not knowing what to say.

So far, the new agreement has basically been negotiated and is just waiting to be signed.

After all, Cheng Yu'an, the butterfly, adapted something, and the American Film Association roughly agreed with Cheng Yu'an's conditions.

But there are also nuances. They do not agree with China's participation in the global distribution of co-produced films, and have set extremely strict limits on the proportion of co-produced funds. They only say that they will use Chinese actors, but they are not guaranteed if they are not "main actors".

However, it was agreed that the proportion of Chinese production personnel in the co-production film crew should not be less than 1/3, and it also agreed that no less than 1/3 of the post-production would be done domestically.

The exchange of film talents between the two countries is a trivial matter, and they agreed with it.

This is all Cheng Yu'an can do now.

When the news came back to China, the happiest thing was the theaters.

The number of imported films has increased, the share of accounts has increased, and theaters have become more profitable, but they have to pretend: "The biggest beneficiaries are the audience."

Gao Qunshu said: "The opening of the Chinese film market to the United States will destroy those filmmakers who have achieved some kind of success by relying on luck, relying on the so-called star lineup, relying on their laurels, and relying on black hands to manipulate the market. The production level can only be a blessing for producers who conform to the laws of film, although Chinese films may suffer temporarily, it will be a good thing in the long run.”

Feng Xiaogang saw an opportunity: "The benefits of 30 Holly Tigers entering the Chinese market are: 1. The more Hollywood Tigers come, the more room for Chinese filmmakers to create. Because the standard for checking is a standard, they can shoot 2. The government must work harder to crack down on piracy, otherwise Hollywood will be in a hurry with you. We will also share this result. This time we have the support of Hollywood. Let’s see who dares! 3. Yes The audience is good news. Survival of the fittest. What are you afraid of?"

Cheng Yu'an stayed in the United States for a few days, and when the agreement was roughly concluded, he returned home.
