China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 143
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles!
The next day, Jiang Liu threatened to beat someone for a soundtrack in Baihua Hutong, which spread in the rock circle.

By the third day, the incident even made the front pages of several small newspapers near the capital.

It also spread on the Internet.

First, he used a humorous tone to comment on some personal behaviors of Hong Kong and domestic entertainment artists.

Later, he instigated the "Hero" team to fight.

Now he threatens to beat people again, and Jiang Liu's image of a villain is deeply imprinted in many people's minds.

One person jumped up and down, stirring up trouble in the city. The officials finally couldn't sit still and called Jiang Liu to the headquarters right after the holiday.

In the office, Yu Chu slapped the table and glared at Jiang Liu: "Can you calm down a little? You make movies, and others also make movies. Why don't others have so much to do?"

Jiang Liutian said shamelessly: "I act openly and aboveboard, and I don't like to make small moves in secret."

Director Yu pointed at Jiang Liu and scolded with a smile: "Stop boasting. If Yixin hadn't paid a lot of taxes in the first two quarters, I would have done it first. Make movies, revitalize domestic movies, and don't take advantage of loopholes all day long." Hype, not taking the right path at such a young age.”

"You mentioned paying taxes, I have to explain it carefully."

"Yixin has invested and produced 10 to [-] episodes of dramas and more than [-] dramas this year."

"If the country wants to develop, it is our duty to pay taxes. It is the obligation and duty of enterprises."

"But when will the bureau give me a certificate? In order to film these more than 10 dramas, I have spent millions on affiliation fees, and they are still rising. It has already affected the company's development."

"I knew you would ask, so let me remind you that by the middle of next year at the latest, many domestic industries will undergo major changes. With Yixin's current strength, there is a chance to obtain the first batch of TV series production licenses."

"We look forward to the good news with all our hearts."

Jiang Liu knew this news well, so he said obediently: "Yu Chu, can you introduce a foreign friend with film distribution capabilities in North America?"

Yu Chu laughed angrily: "What are you here for?"

"You're being trained," Jiang Liu said.

"No one wants to train you. They want to correct the attitude of you directors and prevent you from going astray. Do you think it is easy for the country to train a young director?"

"Yes, yes, do you know anyone related to this?"

"No, you can ask Han Sanping about this. Huaying is responsible for introducing foreign films. What are you going to do? How did "Pirates" turn out? Is the quality high enough to be distributed abroad?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious. Do you have anything else? I'm going to go to Teacher Gu to see how the soundtrack is going, and then I have to go to Beijing Film Studio to edit the film."

After a quarrel in Baihua Hutong, Jiang Liu packaged the soundtrack of "Pirates" and handed it over to Mr. Gu Jianfen, a master in domestic composition circles who had single-handedly composed the soundtrack of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Teacher Gu was very tolerant of Jiang Liu's unreasonable demands.

In her opinion, music is art, and there is no distinction between art and art.

Many of her inspirations may sometimes come from just making nonsense.

Jiang Liu was very happy and hummed "嘘嘚嘚嘘嘚,嘘嘘嘚." Teacher Gu played Jiang Liu's very familiar tune on the piano on the spot, which made Jiang Liu very happy.

But Teacher Gu himself was not satisfied. He said that he needed to find the right instrument from a variety of instruments and also perfect the entire piece as much as possible.

Jiang Liu readily agreed. Regardless of the ending, the soundtrack for the heroine's critical appearance in "Pirates" was available.

"Go ahead and call Jia Zhangke in the office opposite."

"Oh."

In the corridor outside the office, Jiang Liu knocked on the door of the opposite office. When he saw Jia Zhangke with drooped eyebrows, he said, "Director Jia, I will let you pass."

"Thank you Director Jiang."

"Director Jia, how is the sales of "Ren Xiaoyao" in Europe?"

In May, "Ren Xiaoyao" directed by Jia Zhangke, a representative figure among the six generations of Chinese directors, was once again shortlisted for the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival, but it received countless awards.

He must have been having a hard time lately.

"Generalization." Jia Zhangke said sadly.

If his films cannot be launched in the domestic market and cannot be sold in Europe, his directorial career will face a heavy blow.

"It's a pity. Keep up the good work. I'm leaving first."

Jia Zhangke nodded gratefully: "Director Jiang, walk slowly." He and Jiang Liu are both directors, but they are following two different paths. His films are sharp, focusing on realistic art, and follow the foreign film festival route.

Jiang Liu makes commercial films and pays more attention to the domestic film market.

As the saying goes, different people do not work together.

Jiang Liu suddenly cared about him, which he didn't expect.

The two of them had no intersection, and they had different ways of pleasing the audience. He always thought that a director like Jiang Liu would look down on him like many domestic audiences and call him a traitor.

After leaving the headquarters, Jiang Liu first went to Teacher Gu's house. Seeing that there was no change in the progress, he said goodbye and went to Beijing Film Studio.

As soon as he got off the car at Beijing Film Studio, Boss Han appeared and said with a sad face that Jiang Liu had never seen before: "Oh my god, I don't know if I haven't seen the samples. I was shocked when I saw it. "Pirates" was deliberately misleading." A human movie, right?”

"You hurry up and write a modern comedy script, hurry up and shoot it, and let us regain our blood. Otherwise, I can't explain it, and I won't be able to live a good year."

"Not that much, just a little animation plot."

"Just that little bit ruins the overall aesthetic."

"Mr. Han, you have to believe me."

"I just trust you so much that I raised 1000 million for you. Do you think Huaxia Film Company is very rich? "Pirates" lost money, and the old local leaders want to destroy my desk."

Jiang Liu laughed heartily, hugged Boss Han and said, "Boss, please keep your heart in mind. I am ready for everything. I don't even lack the east wind. I can't lose anything."

That is, starting from October 10th.

The promotion of "Pirates" was fully launched under Jiang Liu's command.

On October 10, "Pirates" broke the domestic film promotion convention and released its first 15-second trailer.

In the trailer, Ru Yue, played by Qin Lan, is dressed in ancient costume, standing on a tall mast with a sword tied to her waist, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her whole person has a heroic appearance.

On October 10, the second 27-second beautiful trailer of "Pirates" was released.

The disk-sized moon hangs on the sea level, and the water is sparkling.

On November 11th, "Pirates" continued to release many beautiful pictures that can be used as computer wallpapers.

On November 11th, the third one-minute trailer was released, seducing the audience with its beauty.

In the trailer, on the endless sea, seagulls are chasing schools of fish, and a shark is poised to attack.

On November 11, the soundtrack trailer for "Pirates" was released.

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the passionate "She's a Pirate" sounded.
December, "Pirates" cast trailer
The announcement of "Hero" was completely numb. From their perspective, the announcement of "Pirates" was already crazy.

After throwing so many trailers and photos at the audience, should the movie be released?

Will the audience connect one trailer after another and continue to spend money to watch movies in cinemas?
Movie fans across the country are excited.

I have long heard that actors and crew members are required to sign a confidentiality agreement before entering the set.

Ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". After filming the movie, it entered the promotion period. Many movie fans only knew about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The same goes for Zhang Yimou's filming of "Hero".

I hide the movie all day long, and I am not afraid to talk about it late after a good meal. I am deeply afraid that the audience will understand the entire story of the movie from a single photo.

Compared with great directors such as Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou, Jiang Liu is quite refreshing.

Whether the movie is good or not is another matter. The attitude of letting the audience feast their eyes first deserves praise.

Jiang Liu's operation made the management of his opponent "Hero" feel embarrassed and doubtful.

Exciting for fans.

This made the two bosses of Bona and Huaxia Film doubtful.

People from all parties were mixed with various emotions.

On December 12th, Zhang Yiyang changed his literary style and directed a commercial blockbuster, which was evaluated by later generations as "Hero", which ushered in the era of Chinese blockbusters. It was the first to be released in theaters and was reviewed by movie fans across the country.
