Chapter 41 Creating Contradictions
In the China Film Multimedia Hall, the "Genius Gunner" project launch conference was held here.

China Film General Manager Mao Yu attended the press conference in person and announced at the press conference that China Film Bona and Haotian Studio will jointly invest 2000 million yuan to produce the movie "Genius Gunner".

Then Zhang Hao introduced the basic situation of the film: "I personally completed the film script, and the film will be filmed in Hong Kong Island, and will also go to Australia for filming.

I hope to use some young actors who are good at acting and can be trained. "

The reporters in the audience secretly slandered, talking old-fashioned, aren't you a young director yourself?
After the general situation was introduced, it was time for reporters to ask questions.

Sha Ruishan, a reporter from the "Capital Times", was asked by name: "Director Zhang, is there any difference between this movie and your last movie?"

The other reporters secretly rolled their eyes, what's your problem?Hurry up and ask what we care about the most.

Zhang Hao replied with a smile: "The difference is that this movie is relatively young, and I am also a young person, so I want everyone to see what a group of young people can do together. .”

Sha Ruishan continued to ask: "Then this time is still the suspenseful crime theme that you are good at?"

"Of course, when the movie is released, I believe it will definitely make everyone's eyes shine." Zhang Hao seemed full of confidence.

As soon as Sha Ruishan sat down, the other reporters couldn't wait to raise their hands to ask questions, and the press officer casually picked a female reporter.

The female reporter came up with a heavy shot: "Director Zhang, you said before that you would shoot your own domestic sci-fi movie, but we all know that "Robot Man" is already rotten.

Is that why you stepped into sci-fi territory without choosing a second film? "

Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly, he already knew that this group of media would do something about it.

"No, we have clearly understood that the most important thing for Chinese films at present is to accumulate talents and technical reserves, rather than blindly launch a science fiction film project."

"Then you mean that Director Liu Zhenwei's "Robot Man" was released in a hurry, and you mean he wasn't ready?" The female reporter seemed to smell the smell of blood and instantly became excited.

The usual method of the media is to seize the contradictions in the sentences and deliberately create confrontations in order to win the page.

Liu Zhenwei is a veteran Hong Kong director, and everyone is familiar with it, while Zhang Hao is a new-generation director, who is too new.

It is conceivable that the media will deliberately make Zhang Hao look down on Liu Zhenwei and his movies.

Zhang Hao understood the joints, and asked with a slight smile: "Do you think "Robot Man" is a good movie?"

"Uh," the female reporter was speechless for a while, as long as her eyes were not blind, no one would know that "Cyborg" was a good movie.

But the female reporter immediately realized that Zhang Hao was changing the subject.

Just wanted to continue asking questions, but her time was over, she couldn't continue asking questions, so she had to sit down.

Once a female reporter is dealt with, the other reporters will not let it go. Then another reporter stepped forward and was about to ask a question, but Zhang Hao blocked her throat.

"I hope everyone will ask some questions about this film, otherwise I will refuse to interview."

"It's not fair, we have the right to interview freely." The reporter uttered this classic sentence as soon as his mind became hot.

Zhang Hao shrugged and said, "I also have the right to refuse interviews! This is my freedom..."

Mao Yu couldn't help secretly laughing on the sidelines. This is repaying others with the same way. I didn't expect that although Zhang Hao was young, he was quite mature in dealing with the media.

The following reporters asked more honestly. Although they wanted to make big news, they still wanted to show some face because they were at CFA's home court after all.

However, how to write the report afterwards is up to Zhang Hao.

The press conference came to an unhappy end, and in subsequent media reports, everyone didn't focus on Zhang Hao's sci-fi movie project and Liu Zhenwei's "Robot Man".

Among them, the article in Southern Metropolis Daily is the most typical.

In the article, I changed what Zhang Hao said about making a domestic film. What Zhang Hao said is that it needs a long-term preparation process.

But in the article, Zhang Hao knows how to shoot a domestic science fiction film in his next film.

Then the article said that after Liu Zhenwei's "Robot Man" was released, but received overwhelming criticism from the audience, Zhang Hao immediately changed his mind and changed the theme.

Then he wrote that Zhang Hao thought that "Robot Man" was not a good movie, and he also criticized Liu Zhenwei and so on.

In short, a small group of factualists asked Zhang Hao to tamper with Zhang Hao's speech, so as to create confrontation and send it out.

When Zhang Hao saw this report and saw that the reporter's name was Guan Zeyuan, he couldn't help but laugh. Does he have a little blackie?
The media is like this, good at creating heat and public opinion, lest the world will not be chaotic.Zhang Hao wants to follow the example of his later brothers and send a lawyer's letter to the media to warn them.

But this is also good, although Zhang Hao's reputation is not very good.But "Genius Gunner" has also been reported, maintained its popularity, and continued to attract the audience's attention.

And when the film enters the production cycle, everyone has long forgotten about it.

When the movie enters the announcement and release cycle, everyone forgets, Zhang Hao will also help everyone remember it, and then create momentum for the movie.

For Zhang Hao, a bad reputation doesn't matter, as long as the movie can make money.

The media involved in the incident obviously did not want this matter to end so easily. Following the reports of the mainland entertainment media, the Hong Kong Island media soon found out about it.

The Hong Kong Island media are entertainment media that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the paparazzi on Fleet Street in the UK. They have reported many big news about Hong Kong stars.

Moreover, the media in Hong Kong Island still have a sense of superiority and look down on mainland filmmakers and directors.

Zhang Hao said that the national teacher is a fart is just talking, but he really treats the national teacher as a fart.

Looking at it this way, Zhang Hao actually dared to say that Director Liu Zhenwei's new movie "Robot Man" is not good, so what's the matter?

Although "Robot Man" is indeed bad, but is it something you, a young man, can say?What's more, you are still a mainlander.

As a result, Zhang Hao was scolded miserably by the media on Hong Kong Island.

What disrespect for seniors, ignorance of the heights of heaven and earth, daring to come to Hong Kong Island to let Zhang Hao lie down and go back, etc. have all been said.

There are also good people. I interviewed Liu Zhenwei who is producing "The Yueguang Treasure Box". Liu Zhenwei is still strange. I didn't offend Zhang Hao. Who is he?

Then Liu Zhenwei learned from the reporter that Zhang Hao is actually a young director who has just passed his 23rd birthday. He directed the film "Manslaughter" for the first time and won a box office of 1.56 million in the Mainland.

Let me go, this kid can do it, with 1.56 million box office, the sum of his films is not so high.

But why does this kid have to speak rudely to me?
Liu Zhenwei, who is well aware of the virtues of the media, did not express anything on the spot, but only said some scenes, saying that "Manslaughter" is great, and Zhang Hao is a good new director Yunyun.

In fact, Liu Zhenwei has never even watched the movie "Manslaughter", so it is impossible to talk about whether it is a good movie or not.

By the way, although "Manslaughter" has been released in mainland theaters, it has not yet been released in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

China Film and Bona have partners here, so they have done distribution work here, and they will be screened in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in the form of a box office share. The film is expected to hit the Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan markets in October.

In addition, a Thai film distribution company took a fancy to "Manslaughter" and wanted to obtain the distribution rights in Southeast Asia, directly buying out the system.

Mainland movies are not as popular in Southeast Asia as Hong Kong Island movies.Moreover, Zhang Hao is not a famous director like Guoshi, so "Manslaughter" can't be sold at much price.

After negotiations, "Manslaughter" sold the publishing rights in Southeast Asia for only 80 yuan.

"Manslaughter" is definitely worth the price, Zhang Hao even felt he was losing money when it sold for millions.

But the problem is that the film's leading actor and director are not well-known in Southeast Asia, so the price is very low.

But don't worry about it, first accumulate word of mouth, step by step.In the future, not only will the buyout price increase, but it may also participate in the box office share.

Distribution agency rights in Japan and South Korea are also being discussed, and the income is expected to be hundreds of thousands.

So far, all the profits that "Manslaughter" can create have been obtained, and the rest is only the long-term copyright of TV broadcast and Internet broadcast.
