China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 392 A quarrel

From Cheng Kaige's perspective, he originally thought everything was perfect.

Wuji's filming was so good. He watched the finished film. The pictures were beautiful and the plot logic was very smooth!

That's right, Cheng Kaige has always thought that his "The Promise" is very good, but the audience can't understand it and doesn't know how to appreciate advanced film art.

In Cheng Kaige's view, the quality of Wuji's movies is very good, and the actors are all big names. The combination of Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Bozhi, Chen Hong, Zhang Dongjian, Hiroyuki Sanada and Liu Ye is a star-studded combination that has attracted much attention.

In addition, the crew has been hyping up the scandal between Xie Tingfeng and Cecilia Cheung, and the publicity strategy is very successful. The Promise will definitely be a big success at the box office.

The most important thing is that there happens to be a very suitable opponent during the Lunar New Year period, Zhang Yimou's Thousand Miles Alone.

The opponent is the great director Zhang Yimou, and the target is an art film that is easy to bully, which is really perfect.

In Cheng Kaige's imagination, Wuji defeated Qianli Zuoqiu head-on. Cheng Kaige defeated Zhang Yimou and won the Lunar New Year box office championship in a record-breaking way, making the ordinary people in the Yanjing Olympic Committee who did not understand the meaning of his poems, Take a good look at the director they chose and be defeated by them, and then regret it.

This plot is so perfect and refreshing!
As a result, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, and Jingtao Rescue suddenly jumped out, bumping into Wuji's schedule.

Cheng Kaige is very arrogant. He has great confidence in Wuji and believes that Wuji can defeat Jingtai Rescue. However, he has to admit that the box office of Wuji will be affected if it coincides with Jingtai Rescue.

The perfect plot became imperfect.

So after he learned the news, he called Han Sanpin as soon as possible to inquire about the situation.

Although Han Sanpin is also one of the producers of Wuji, he will definitely not tell the truth to Cheng Kaige and tell him why Jingtao Rescue is suddenly scheduled for the Lunar New Year.

After all, the less people know about leadership matters, the better.

Han Sanpin has been around for so many years, but he still understands these principles very well.

So he said: "It is not my decision to release the film. It is an internal decision made by our entire production team. If you want me to change the schedule, I can't do it."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Kaige misunderstood.

With Han Sanpin's status, there is no one else in the production team who has more power than him, and it could only be Zhang Nanyi.

Ever since, Cheng Kaige accepted an interview with Xinlang Entertainment that day.

In the interview, he said very directly: "In our film industry, there is a rule called the king without seeing the king, that is, two extremely excellent movies will be actively avoided when scheduling.

Even if it is really unavoidable, it will be staggered by at least one to two weeks.

When Wuji had already announced that it would be released on December 12th, Rescue immediately announced that it would be released on December 15th. The timing completely coincided with Wuji. Xiao Zhang was breaking industry rules and market rules.

His method of playing will make an originally excellent movie fail to get a correspondingly good box office due to fierce competition.

We know that a good movie not only requires a lot of investment, but also embodies the efforts of a large team of thousands of people in front of and behind the scenes.

Xiao Zhang's decision to set the schedule in this way will result in no return on investment and a waste of everyone's hard work. This is not conducive to the healthy development of the Chinese film industry as a whole.

I hope Xiao Zhang will think carefully and change the schedule as soon as possible. This is the way to respect his predecessors and respect the industry. "

The reporter asked: "Are you asking Zhang Nanyi to change gears because you were afraid that Wuji could not be rescued by Jingtao?"

Cheng Kaige immediately said: "How is that possible? The Promise is an epoch-making epic blockbuster, and it is not afraid of any competition. I just hope that everyone will abide by the rules, and I also hope that Xiao Zhang will not delay his film because of overconfidence."

Cheng Kaige's interview was pretentious and he even called Zhang Nanyi Xiao Zhang. In his words, when he mentioned Zhang Nanyi, he had the attitude of a senior giving guidance to a junior.

This kind of great director is used to being praised by others. He really doesn't know how much he weighs, and his identity is a bit unclear.

It's a bit funny to ask Zhang Nanyi to change the schedule under the banner of promoting the development of China's film industry.

Cheng Kaige's interview made reporters from Xinlang Entertainment very excited. Naturally, this big news had to be reported early.

So on the afternoon of October 10th, this interview was posted on the front page of the Xinlang portal website.

At this time, Zhang Nanyi and Liu Xiaoli were repairing a villa in Ziyu Villa, and they were wholeheartedly exchanging their experience on the repairs, without paying any attention to the external situation.

It was on the morning of October 10th, when he and Mo Beiwu were heading to the airport together, that he learned about Cheng Kaige's remarks.

Zhang Nanyi thought for a while and immediately posted a message on the school website.

“When ordinary people are messing around, they all know that when the rules are beneficial, they talk about the rules, when the facts are beneficial, they emphasize the facts, and when neither the rules nor the facts work, they muddy the water.

But a director like Cheng Kaige, who is used to enjoying privileges, actually opened up another path - directly creating new rules.

As a practitioner in the film industry, I have only heard today that there is a rule in the industry that the king does not see the king.

Is this a rule?this is not.

This is to tell you that I, Cheng Kaige, have occupied the Lunar New Year slot in advance, and the rest of your movies will have to adjust their schedules and avoid them automatically.

Anyone who comes to compete with me in this schedule does not abide by the rules and disrespect the predecessors, and is a sinner of Chinese cinema.

In order to respond to the new rules created by Cheng Kaige, I decided to meet his request for me to change my schedule.The film has been rescheduled to December 12th, the same day as The Promise.

Also, let me explain, a bad movie like The Promise will cause mental pollution after watching it. Whoever sees it is a fool. I don’t regard The Promise as a competitor at all.

The Rescue is a global movie, and its overseas distribution will be handled by 47th Century Fox. It is expected to be released simultaneously in [-] countries and regions around the world.

Our eyes are on the whole world, not just at home.

One last thing, Cheng Kaige, am I familiar with you?Which onion are you?Call me Xiao Zhang? "

Behind this sentiment, Zhang Nanyi attached a picture.

The picture shows an old man rummaging through a trash can, with a line underneath: "Let me see what kind of garbage this is?"

Originally, the crew of The Promise last year took advantage of Zhang Nanyi's popularity and used Zhang Nanyi to put pressure on Xie Tingfeng. At that time, Zhang Nanyi did not want to increase the popularity of Wuji, so she chose to turn a blind eye.

As a result, Cheng Kaige jumped out again this time, so don't blame Zhang Nan for being cruel.

So this time Zhang Nanyi's posts and pictures were full of firepower, riding directly on Cheng Kaige's face.

After this sentiment was posted, it immediately became a hot topic. In just half an hour, the number of comments exceeded [-].

"Cheng Kaige is really crazy. He has no good works since Farewell My Concubine, and he is still domineering in the circle. Zhang Nanyi is a figure on the rich list. I am not familiar with him, and he still calls him Xiao Zhang. It is really ridiculous. He thinks who is he?"

It's hard to say whether "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed by him, but it is indeed his consistent style to create the rule of not seeing the king. I really thought that everyone would support him. When I met Zhang Nanyi this time, I kicked the iron plate."

"Cheng Kaige's goal was achieved. Zhang Nanyi complied with his request and changed the schedule. He directly moved the release of Jingtai Rescue by three days and released it on the same day as The Promise! This is really shooting himself in the foot."

"Does Cheng Kaige suffer from paranoia of persecution? It's like a dog. When it sees a person walking into its kennel, it thinks that the person is going to rob it of its kennel. It starts barking, but it doesn't know that people have their own gorgeous houses. Not going to the kennel.”

"Upstairs, I know you have opinions about Cheng Kaige, but this metaphor is not appropriate. The domestic film market is not a doghouse..."

"What's inappropriate? The domestic film market's annual box office is less than 20 billion, which is not as good as the global box office of an American blockbuster. It's just a doghouse."

"So Zhang Nanyi has a far-sighted vision and looks internationally. This time the film is released, instead of buying it out, he has found [-]th Century Fox as an agent for distribution. This is probably the first time for a domestic film."

"Zhang Nanyi is really awesome. The trailer for "Jingmao Rescue" only lasted one day. It has been played over one million times on YouTube. All the comments below are looking forward to this movie. The specific comments from foreigners, everyone You can check out my homepage.”

"Just in terms of structure, Cheng Kaige and Zhang Nanyi are not on the same level. He and Chen Hong were in love with Zhang Nanyi last year and spread rumors that Zhang Nanyi would play Wuji. It's really rubbish."

"Haha, Zhang Nanyi's picture is very vivid and interesting. It explains the essence of Cheng Kaige and Wuji. I accepted it."

"Anyway, I am a fan of Zhang Nanyi, and his opinions and judgments are basically correct. Since he said The Promise is a bad movie, it must be a bad movie."

"Thank you Zhang Nanyi for helping me save two movie tickets. My girlfriend originally wanted to see Wuji because of Xie Tingfeng, but after this incident, she firmly stood by Zhang Nanyi's side. .”

"Okay, I know you have a girlfriend, so stop showing off."

……

When Zhang Nanyi's statement set off a frenzy of public opinion on the Internet.

Cheng Kaige and Chen Hong were attending an event in Shanghai. Chen Hong originally told reporters that Cheng Kaige worked hard for the movie last night and even shed tears. Cheng Kaige pretended to complain to Chen Hong: "Why do you say everything to others?"

The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

As a result, a reporter saw Zhang Nanyi's mood and started to stir up trouble.

"Director Cheng Kaige, Zhang Nanyi said that Wuji is a bad movie. He is not familiar with you, so you have no right to call him Xiao Zhang. He also said that Jingtao Rescue looks at the world and does not look down on Wuji at all. How do you respond to him? look?"

The harmonious atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.

Especially after Cheng Kaige saw the original text and picture of Zhang Nanyi's reply, his face fell instantly. If Chen Hong hadn't stopped him, he would have cursed on the spot.

Finally, Cheng Kaige replied stiffly: "The Promise is also a world-class good movie. We also received courtesy and praise at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Promise is definitely more exciting than Jing Tong Rescue. Everything depends on the box office. Everyone We’ll see.”

Compared to Cheng Kaige's huge reaction, Zhang Yimou's reaction to Jingtao Rescue's inclusion in the Lunar New Year show was much duller, and he was even a little happy.

Rather than losing to his contemporary Cheng Kaige, it would be better to lose to Zhang Nanyi, who is more acceptable to Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Nanyi paid no attention to the thoughts of Cheng Kaige and Zhang Yimou. After he finished expressing his feelings, he turned off his laptop.

Today he was going to Shanghai on a business trip with Mo Beiwu.

After half a year of design and research and development, Northern Electric Vehicle has produced a prototype.

Although it was just an electric motorcycle, Mo Beiwu was very excited. She invited Zhang Nanyi to come to the factory to experience and inspect it.

Zhang Nanyi knew Mo Beiwu's obsession with building cars, and also understood that she hoped that he could be by her side at this critical stage and share the joy with her.

As he happened to have time recently, he accompanied Mo Beiwu to the car factory to take a look.
