The King of Huayu Science Fiction

"Brother Jiu, thank you very much."

Guan Hu held Zhu Wenjiu's hand and greeted him gratefully.

Zhu Wenjiu, a bigwig in the Beijing circle, has thin cheeks and does not show his age. He looks much younger than Guan Hu, but his face is not very good at this time, so he patted Guan Hu on the shoulder: "Just get off the plane, hard work You, go inside to comfort your daughter-in-law, old Fu is on the phone with Director Li."

Although the chairman's office of Beijing Film Studio is not as big as the conference room, it can still seat many people, and the room does not feel crowded.

Guan Hu entered the office but didn't care to comfort Liang Jing who was sitting next to him with a stern face, and asked with some doubts and anxiety: "Why is the road show suddenly cancelled? The more you can't relax at this time?
I have traveled to several cities in the past few days. Although I met some reporters with malicious intentions, the audience actually supported us. Many audiences who watched the movie said that they were very moved. It was not as bad as the rumors spread on the Internet. The movie feels aggrieved.

Last year's "Eight Hundred Revelation" was also smeared by public opinion, but didn't it still get close to 30 billion at the box office?

Although I never expected that DreamWorks would be so insane to such an extent that it violated or even betrayed the rules of film art creation and attacked "King Kong River" in a patriotic and populist manner, but I still believe that many viewers can still watch it. Those who understand our films and agree with our creative logic.

From "Assembly" to "Eight Hundred" and then to "King Kong River", many audiences still know what a good movie is and who is creating a good movie with humanistic care, but they are temporarily blinded by public opinion.

There are also some media reporters who have also agreed to speak out for us. I think if we stick to it, there will be a time when word of mouth will turn around. "

An executive sitting across from him shook his head: "Dreamworks' attack this time was too sudden and tricky, and the higher-ups made a move."

"above?"

Guan Hu was surprised at first and then fell into silence, as if he had thought of something.

The stern-faced Liang Jing immediately said: "It's because of your appeasement approach that led to this result. Old Fu still doesn't let us speak out, I think it's because we didn't speak out enough!

We should call on everyone in the circle, and all artists in the company to publicly express their views!Support "King Kong River" and condemn those who discredit "King Kong River" and Guan Hu!

Then completely suppress those voices with ulterior motives.

Even if it can't be suppressed, the gang of Internet mobs are still spreading rumors everywhere under the instigation of DreamWorks, but they can also create a situation where everyone in the film and television industry is united, even if they have any scruples, they will never dare to do so! "

Someone sneered: "All in one mind? Are you dealing with a cat or a dog?"

"Being bullied by that brat Chen Jingxing, who couldn't even fight back, isn't it embarrassing for you? Let me tell you, we've completely embarrassed this time!"

Seeing that Liang Jing was about to get impatient, a voice hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Okay, okay, calm down, now is not the time to complain, besides, didn't you and Lao Ge speak out? So what? Instead, it made those people work harder.

Besides, how can it be that simple to get all the artists to support?

Do you think I haven't tried it?I'm the person in charge of the agency business department, and it's not like I haven't communicated with artists in private. Most of the artists are playing sloppy, even our company's own artists are so evasive, let alone outside artists.

Especially like the United Cinemas, he produced "My Youth and Me" together with Bad Monkey and Penguin Pictures. It's fun to watch the jokes. Can you cooperate with us?I'm afraid they will be the most active if they make trouble. "

Zhu Wenjiu also said with emotion: "These people in the circle are too short-sighted. Within an hour after I posted the article, all the people below scolded me, and some people moved my speech to various website forums to encourage netizens to go online. Violent me.

Don't even know who else got my phone number and called me and cursed at me.

I still can't figure out why DreamWorks did this. This is opening Pandora's box.

Making "King Kong River" pornographic is to encourage these Internet mobs, populists, and ignorant blind people. At that time, public opinion will become ideology in command, and bad money will drive out good money. How can there be room for artistic creation? "

Liang Jing sneered and said, "Chen Jingxing has clearly broken the rules, but everyone remained silent, just watching a major gift project approved by the Film Bureau come to such an end, "King Kong River" is like this, who can do it?" Spare? Silence is the greatest connivance to Chen Jingxing, a wolf cub."

However, Liang Jing's ruthless words not only did not arouse the feeling of common hatred, but created a gloomy atmosphere.

It is an emotion of powerlessness and disbelief.

Even their own artists hesitated to make public statements. Once upon a time, Jingying's own artist Ye Shunan even caused DreamWorks to suffer a big loss.

It's only been a few years, and DreamWorks has such power?

Even if he didn't end up in person, most of the people in the circle, including artists, would not dare to get involved. Even if he felt sad for the death of the rabbit, he would not dare to stand out.

Even the protagonists of "King Kong River", first-line stars such as Zhang Yi and Deng Chao, were completely invisible, and they didn't answer these questions at all even during the road show with Guan Hu.

Of course, Zhang Yi was indeed promoted by DreamWorks, a "Red Sea" and a "Ninth District", so Zhang Yi's refusal to express his position is understandable.

What about the rest?

Let a few people in Jingying who are not working in front of the screen face the storm of public opinion independently, without any support and solidarity from the circle.

Even if you support, you express understanding and support secretly and privately, but you are cautious in public and on social media.

When did Jingying, the No. [-] studio that once even surpassed Guoying, ever be in such a predicament?
He didn't even have time to fight back, so he was caught off guard in an unprecedented crisis of public opinion.

Even the previous yin-yang contract incident didn't make Jingying so passive and helpless.

Most of the people here didn't even have time to generate much anger in the past few days, but were filled with thoughts of astonishment, disbelief, and incomprehension.

Then he even developed a little fear of DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing.

Especially Guan Hu, who was still complacent before.

The past few days have been like a dream. The premiere the day before was still full of glory, and after receiving applause and cheers from the audience, things turned around the next day.

I still can't figure out how the other party's move has evolved to this point in a few days.

As far as "Assembly Number" and as close as "Eight Hundred Revelations", it's not like I haven't seen criticisms on the Internet.

Because he wore a U.S. Navy cap in an interview with "King Kong River", he was dug out and bowed with his hands behind his back at the martyrs cemetery when he started the show last year.

But his character has always been like this, although he didn't do it on purpose, he wanted to wear a navy cap on purpose, but he just didn't think it was cool to bow his head respectfully, so he had to bow his hands behind his back.

But he didn't bother to argue, because he felt that there was nothing to justify.

He also felt that his critics were hypocritical.

Many people say that he is proud, and he also thinks so. The sixth master in "Old Paoer" is actually his autobiography.

It's just the voice of netizens, and it can't hinder making money, and it can't hurt a single hair of him, so it can turn the world upside down?
But this time it really turned the world upside down, how could it be brewed and fermented so quickly, how could it cause such a big anger?
It seems like everyone is shouting and beating overnight, when did Chinese people become so patriotic?

Could it be that Chen Jingxing really has such a great ability?
"Ahem." The person in charge of the previous agency business department broke the silence: "Actually, it's not that DreamWorks really has such a great ability. It's mainly because of inciting populist sentiment. It's okay to say behind the scenes that the artists at the front desk are definitely not willing to work in this Standing out in the face of public outrage may not necessarily be because of being afraid of DreamWorks.

And there was someone surnamed Qin intervening. This old man really sold it to DreamWorks for his daughter. At a delicate moment, he suddenly published such a clear-cut article criticizing the so-called historical nihilism.

Let Dreamworks not only have to end it in person, but also stand at the top of political correctness, and draw a path, directly deterring potential people who want to support, this old fox is too vicious. "

Just when everyone was feeling emotional, Fu Sheng, the chairman of Jingying, came out from the room with an extremely gloomy expression.

Under everyone's apprehensive eyes, Fu Sheng sat heavily on the chair.

He did not directly reveal the contents of the conversation with the director of the Film Bureau, but asked aloud: "In this form, how much can the final box office reach?"

"We made an estimate this morning, just looking at the public opinion of resistance that has fermented so far, the planned 30 billion is no longer possible, and 20 billion is not enough.

However...if we follow the verbal notice that was suddenly sent out by the Bureau not long ago, asking the theaters to "withdraw in an orderly and low-key manner" from the film schedule of "King Kong River", our film schedule will drop below 20% tomorrow, which is lower than expected By nearly ten percentage points, and so on, it may be only about 12 billion or 13 billion in the end..."

""King Kong River" is almost 9 million now!"

"I can't even recover the cost!"

"Boss Fu, what did Bureau Li say?"

Fu Sheng let out a long sigh, and looked at Guan Hu, who was a little lost, and said, "Old Guan, you still need to bring an editor to edit "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", and I will let Mr. Wang follow up. The filming and re-shooting places will be compiled into a report, and discussed at the president's office meeting."

Liang Jing reacted a little fiercely: "The above means that "Strike the White Tiger Group" will not be available for the Spring Festival?"

This is obviously the meaning of closing the "green channel".

Guan Hu nodded heavily: "I'll cut it right away."

"Not urgent!"

Guan Hu looked a little puzzled: "No rush?"

Fu Sheng didn't know whether he should be angry or try to restrain the flames in his heart, but after all, he knew Guan Hu's temper and style. He was also a reviewer of the script and finished film of "King Kong River", and he had no objections. There is also a responsibility, and it is useless to get angry now.

"No hurry means to do it slowly. The bureau will definitely not issue permits in a short time. Of course, we are not the only ones whose green channel has been closed. Other gift films that have not been filmed have to re-establish the review process. It's just that "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment" is a bit special, Li Ju said that he didn't intend to kill him in one shot, but at least it will take a while, and we'll see the situation."

Guan Hu sat back on the sofa weakly, "It will take a while, we'll see the situation." He was too familiar with the words, such as "Eight Hundred Revelations".

The filming was finished at the end of 17, and because the appraiser Jun Jun raised objections, the bureau insisted on procrastinating for a long time without issuing a "birth certificate".

For major gift projects such as "King Kong River" and "Assault on the White Tiger Regiment", the Film Bureau has opened a green channel, which does not require the review of the corresponding department of the subject matter, so he tasted the experience of passing the review quickly. He did not expect that overnight went back again.

These two films are big projects with a total cost of one billion. It is a big project that Jingying has never had before. It is aimed at the favorable situation of the shell of the gift project and Guan Hu, a new director who is one of the few domestic directors who can make good war films. , I want to take advantage of this gift to reverse the decline of the past two years.

This time, not only did it not reverse, but it had to fall down another layer.

For Jingying, although the debt situation is not as serious as Jianghe, it is also affected by the ebb of capital.

This one billion is enough to hurt the bones.

The National Day has only been less than four days, and he and "King Kong River" and Jingying are like a roller coaster.

Leaving aside the impact on Jingying, at least his career that was just about to reach the pinnacle will be missed.
