China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 844 Reactions from all parties
Ning Hao was staring at the notice on Mengying Media's official website at this time and was still in shock.

After all, no one expected this lineup this time.

Any director picked out from here can represent a period in the history of Chinese cinema.

"Director Li is really like this. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But once he does, the domestic entertainment industry will tremble." Xing Aina couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

This news caused a huge wave and swept the entire industry.

At this moment, Jiang Wen also looked at the names of these three people in a notice in disbelief.

Zhou Yun was next to Jiang Wen. She opened her mouth slightly, swallowed, and then seemed to be talking to herself or to Jiang Wen, "How did Director Li convince Director Zhang and Director Chen? It seems that this is the first time in China that three people can work together to shoot a movie."

"Old Li really played a big trick this time. It's normal that he can call on Brother Chen Kai and Zhang Yi, after all, the relationship between them is there."

Jiang Wen quickly recovered from his shock, then glanced at the time, thought about it, and couldn't help but smile, "His timing is quite coincidental."

"Huh?" Zhou Yun looked at Jiang Wen in confusion.

"I forgot who was on the hot search this morning? This time, CTS is going to suffer a loss. But it's no one's fault. It's the other party who played the cards abnormally. I'm afraid that no matter how much money is spent, it won't be able to create a publicity wave."

As a director, Jiang Wen certainly knows how precious the promotional time is before a movie is released.

Moreover, after the premiere, publicity from the media and film critics is quite important in increasing a movie’s first-day box office.

The performance on the first day is related to the subsequent screening schedule, and these are all related.

Especially when the quality of a movie is not very high, it cannot attract "tap water". Then when no one speaks for you, you can only rely on publicity.

"."

While Zhou Yun and Jiang Wen were still discussing, the outside world had already been in an uproar.

“Damn, did I see fake news?”

"Same question, I feel like I saw the wrong word, or the media published the wrong word, how can these names put together look so unreal?"

"It has been confirmed. It's written on the official website of Mengying Media. Although I don't quite believe it, it's true. Just accept it."

"God damn it, accept the reality. I wish I could. Damn, this "Changjin Lake" has the magic of seconds. It can actually bring together the three major domestic directors. I am very interested now!"

"."

The number of comments from netizens is like dandelions. Once blown, the whole sky is filled with them and the amount of data is increasing wildly.

The top trending searches were dominated by "Li Mu, Zhang Yimou, Brother Chen Kai", "The Battle at Lake Changjin", "Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea", and "Grand Slam of the Three Major Film Festivals".

As for "Shanghai Fortress premieres today", although it is still on the hot search list, it has fallen out of the top 20. Under this circumstance, its popularity has dropped sharply.

At this moment, the publicity director of CTS, Chen Chihong, could hardly stop sweating on his forehead, and he kept nodding and bowing like a grandson.

"Mr. Chen, we have increased our media investment and will definitely promote it. Lu Han's fan club has already participated in supporting the premiere today and is already raising funds to book the theater for the first day."

Although he explained it, the face of Chen Jicheng, the chairman of CTS, was gloomy at this time.

This movie has a considerable investment and everything was going smoothly. It was also riding on the traffic of "The Wandering Earth" and was on the rise. However, it was unexpected that there was a threat from "Nezha" first. Now, because of a piece of news, the publicity on the premiere day has been overshadowed.

This is fatal for a film that is about to be released.

But he couldn't even say anything, because the other party didn't do anything but post a message, but he was helpless on his side.

"Go out first and do a good job of today's premiere. After the premiere, I don't want to hear any bad news anymore."

Chen Jicheng waved his hand, and his meaning was very clear.

This is also a tactic often used by major movie studios, that is, to spend money to create good reviews during the period between the premiere and the public release. Many viewers decide whether to watch the movie based on movie reviews.

Chen Chihong felt that he was really unlucky at this moment. This was not his fault. Who could have thought that the other party had such a big trick? If he had known, he would have said nothing to use it. Not only did it affect "Nezha", but it also led to a failure in publicity.

If the film flopped, he felt his career would be over.

"I'd rather die than let my friend die. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me." Chen Chihong's eyes narrowed, then he took out his cell phone, swiped it, found Teng Huatao's name, and then dialed it.

At this time, he must be prepared to find someone to take the blame, otherwise he will suffer if no one takes the blame.

"Hey, Director Teng, by the way, Director Chen just told me something, we may need to discuss it."

"."

Although it was the weekend, Zhang Hongsen, as the deputy director, did not distinguish between weekends and non-weekends. The progress report materials of "Changjin Lake" were now on the table, and the secretary informed him of the three directors in the morning.

Naturally, he had no objection to Li Mu, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige directing "The Battle at Lake Changjin". This was almost the best lineup that could not have been better.

It can be said that at the moment when the three major directors gathered together for "Changjin Lake", coupled with the historical significance of the film, it has become the most anticipated film in China in the past few decades.

The tasks assigned by the Central Propaganda Department and the interim results demonstrated are absolutely excellent and impeccable.

He could even think of the praise he would receive at next week's Central Propaganda Conference.

Of course, fifth-generation directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige each have their own problems. He has worked in the Film Bureau for many years and understands some of them.

This was caused by the times and because of the environment at that time.

For example, Zhang Yimou is a photographer by profession, and has reached the pinnacle in terms of vision and color. He can also tell a good story in his art films. However, his commercial films often fail, as he seems to only focus on the scenes and ignore the core of the story.

Brother Chen Kai's lack of advantages is also very obvious. He has profound aesthetic attainments, his pictures are beautiful and picturesque, and he is good at literary drama. The early stages of his movies are always wonderful, but in the later stages he always likes to bring in his inherent preaching and his own artistic language, and his commercial films have failed many times.

However, with Li Mu as the chief director, responsible for the overall story, and Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige both able to focus on their own areas of expertise, it is hard to imagine any possibility of failure for this film.

The only problem may be the communication problem among the three major directors, but will Li Mu, who was able to invite Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai, allow this problem to exist?
Zhang Hongsen knew very well that what remained was for the Film Bureau to do its utmost to support the filming of the film and give the green light without violating the principles.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Hongsen couldn't help but pick up a pen and write down this matter in the meeting minutes book.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang, who had just returned from New Zealand to urgently shoot "Only Yun Knows", couldn't help but shook his head.

He also very much desires the position of director, because judging from the current selection results, it can be seen that this is definitely a high standard. Being selected is definitely a recognition, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

Unfortunately, he has no chance of being selected due to the negative publicity he has received, and with Zhang Yimou and others around, unless they cannot reach an agreement, it will not be his turn no matter how far he is involved.

"I heard that Guan Hu seemed to be interested, but Li Mu simply didn't give him the face"

Xu Fan did not hide anything at home and spoke directly.

"Hmm?" Feng Xiaogang frowned, then said disdainfully, "It's not even his turn? That's a nice thought."

Among the directors in Beijing, Feng Xiaogang is very confident about his position, while Guan Hu ranks behind, not to mention in China, even in Beijing.

"."

Just as Feng Xiaogang was talking about Guan Hu, Guan Hu himself was looking at the three names in front of him with great displeasure, but there was nothing he could do.

In terms of both emotion and reason, the other party is much stronger than him, whether in terms of status, honor or box office.

Now he has only two movies to show for it.

"Do you really think I'm interested?" Guan Hu snorted coldly, remembering how Li Mu ignored him and didn't even consider him at all.

The news is now a hot topic, and some people who have not commented for a long time have been shocked.

"Changjin Lake" has become the most watched and hotly discussed movie.

Even many people who like to teach others have popularized this epic history to the majority of netizens, and told Li Mu and others in the comment section how to shoot in order to capture the essence of it.

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming felt like he had won the lottery.

I never expected that the last three directors would be the three most famous people in the industry.

This lineup is unprecedented and will probably not be surpassed in the future.

"Huh!" Huang Xiaoming felt his breathing became heavier at this moment, and he could not continue reading the book about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in his hand.

In another room, Yang Ying was extremely eager at the moment. This kind of opportunity was hard to come by, and if she could perform, she would definitely become the most talked-about and popular person.

There are many people who share Yang Ying's idea at this time. You must know that from now on, "Changjin Lake" will be a hot topic for a long time, and with the three major directors there, there is no shortage of popularity. If you can star in it, you will become the new center of attention.

Moreover, the box office of the movie has already locked in billions almost at the same time as the announcement of several major directors. Some organizations have already estimated 3 billion. It should be noted that the filming has not even started yet, so it is conceivable that professional organizations in the industry are optimistic about this movie.

Being able to star in a multi-billion dollar movie is something every actor desires.

However, compared to many actors who have no direct way out, Yang Ying still set her sights on Huang Xiaoming.

Looking at Yang Ying who walked in, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but take a deep breath. He was too familiar with the other party, and the other party's eyes almost told him the answer.

"If this is still about The Battle of Chosin Reservoir, then let's forget about it."
