China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 151 Compromise
The plane landed at Baodao Airport.

I don't know how long the airport has been built, it's broken and rotten!
Li Hao looked at the airport below from the porthole of the plane, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Back then, this place was one of the four Asian tigers, but it’s only been a few years, and it’s already far behind South Korea, Singapore and Xiangjiang!

Many people are disappointed when they come to Baodao for the first time.

He had just gotten off the plane, and was already blocked by Baodao reporters. After all, the awards ceremony was only a few days old, and it was arranged early to block all the stars here.

Before Li Hao officially responded that he received an invitation letter from the Golden Horse Awards and would attend this year's Golden Horse Awards. The media in Taiwan paid great attention to it, not only the media in Taiwan, but also the media from both sides of the strait and three places. Hundreds of media sent people to Taiwan early.

Now Li Hao is in the limelight, and the momentum is in full swing. The helm of Haotian Media owns Wanda Cinemas. This year, "The Martian" hit the box office and set a Chinese film box office record. So far this year, it is still the second place in the global rankings.

It can be said that from all aspects, "The Martian" is undoubtedly the most popular of all awards.

Some people support it, some people oppose it, but anyway, this year's Golden Horse Awards is definitely the one with the most attention in recent years.

The reporting TV station that contracted the rights to broadcast this year's awards ceremony was happy.

Some TV stations in Xiangjiang, Singapore and Malaysia also contacted urgently and won the live broadcast of this year's awards ceremony.

Fortunately, TV stations in the mainland couldn't receive the broadcast, but Tencent won the exclusive rights to live broadcast on the Internet.

The major media are gearing up.

Seeing Li Hao and the group, his eyes lit up all of a sudden. There are more than a dozen first-line female stars and male stars, as well as two big directors, Li Hao and Zhang Yimou. This lineup is huge enough.

The stars are shining brightly!

Everyone was interviewed by the media.

Li Hao was asked if he intended to put pressure on the Golden Horse Awards.

Li Hao said with a smile: "Aside from other things, do you think that the criteria for awarding a movie award should be divided into pork, hello, hello, hello everyone; or should it be open, fair and fair, and everything should be based on the quality of the work?"

This sentence blocked the Baodao and Xiangjiang media who wanted to find fault.

Regardless of the results of the awards, all awards on the surface must follow the principle of 'fairness, justness and openness'. This is 'absolutely correct' and irrefutable!

If even this 'absolute correctness' is not followed, then this award will become a joke, and everything else will be out of the question.

Not long after, I left the airport, boarded the convoy, and then arrived at the five-star hotel that had been arranged.

"Director Li, I didn't expect to see Director Li here!" At this moment, a voice came.

Li Hao followed the reputation, and immediately recognized this person - Wu Yusen!

This one is also a well-known "international famous director". When Hong Kong entertainment was at its peak, he filmed three good films, "The True Colors of Heroes", "Blood Heroes" and "Across the World". "Mission: Impossible 1993" directed in 1996 also took hundreds of millions of box office in North America!
It can be said that throughout the 90s, he was one of the best foreign directors in Hollywood!

It's a pity that in 2002, "Wind Talker" with a production cost of 1.2 million US dollars only earned 3300 million US dollars at the box office, and then Wu Yusen couldn't get along in Hollywood!

Hollywood is so cruel. If you succeed, everything will be fine, but if you fail, it will be difficult to get back up, especially for foreigners!

Then Wu Yusen was invited by China Film as an "internationally famous director" to the mainland to direct the movie "Red Cliff". As a result, Wu Yusen wholeheartedly advocated "peace" and paid special attention to Xiao Qiao's role.

Not only did Mengmeng stand up, but in the end Xiao Qiao was also asked to lurk beside Cao Cao as an undercover agent. From a battle for hegemony between the two major power groups in the world, he became the boss of a gangster who robbed horses.
Then there are "On the Red Cliff" with a box office of 3.12 million yuan and "Under the Red Cliff" with a box office of 2.51 million yuan!

The aura of "internationally famous director" suddenly dimmed a lot.

Then there are the past few years, semi-unemployment!
It was not until July this year that I directed "The Wheel of Peace", which was produced by Galloping Pony and Youzu Films. It brought together Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi, Song Hye Kyo, Tong Dawei, Nagasawa Masami and other Chinese, Japanese and Korean first-line stars. It can be described as a luxurious star lineup.

Wu Yusen was very complicated.

Back in the day, these Xiangjiang directors had such a detached status that film companies from both sides of the strait and three places begged them, especially the mainland film companies even offered them up as gods.

In those days, Baodao and Xiangjiang were usually two film companies cooperating. With the signing contract between the two parties, they approached mainland film companies to discuss funding to join. Baodao and Xiangjiang had the right to cast actors.

It's a pity that in 2008, a little Mr. Chen almost single-handedly smashed the younger generation of stars in the Hong Kong circle, which made the mainland film and television companies turn pale when they heard about the actors on the list, causing the Hong Kong circle to be out of favor.

Just when they were thinking about cultivating young actors, Li Hao suddenly rose up, starting with a TV series "Si Teng", and then filmed a small-budget movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space", but in the end he beat all the blockbusters to the ground.

A series of hit TV series and movies have been seen by mainland film and television companies. You don't need big stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan to make TV series hit and movie box office hit!
Then the mainland film companies became more and more tough, and they kept stepping back and making compromises.

Back then, the director of the movie "Like a Dream" had already selected an actress from Taiwan as the heroine when the filming started, but Yu Dong told her directly: You must use our actors, otherwise you will take your luggage and leave immediately, and I will not invest a penny in you.

Then the director could only choose Yuan Quan under Bona to play the leading role!

And he himself encountered it. Originally, he wanted to try his best to choose stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan in "Taiping Wheel". Unfortunately, facing the strength of mainland film and television companies, he had to give in. In the end, he barely won the role of Jin Chengwu!

And it was easy to say, Jin Chengwu made a broken bone in his film salary, so it came true.

In the past, this was unimaginable at all!
But the film and television companies and filmmakers in the two places had to succumb.

They even had to win over Li Hao!
Because Li Hao's Haotian Media is the largest film and television company in the Mainland, and Wanda Cinemas is the largest cinema in the Mainland!
Look at how the movies in the two places have been in the past few years. In addition to being complained about the quality of the movies, the key is that the number of movies is not enough!
However, "The Chinese Zodiac" sold nearly one billion at the box office, not because Wanda Cinemas arranged a large number of films.
