China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 385: Stephen Chow's response, a movie that became popular before it was released

There are many advantages to accepting the challenge and no disadvantages.

Stephen Chow is a smart man, so he made the decision to formally respond to Li Yu.

"Director Li is one of the best directors in China. I am very excited and honored to have the opportunity to compete with a master director like Director Li.

I am looking forward to seeing Director Li’s film during the Spring Festival next year. The only thing that makes me a little disappointed is that the director of the film is not Director Li.”

This is the response from Stephen Chow’s team to Li Yu and Wang Jing.

There was no gunpowder smell, no tension, it was more like a discussion between two humble gentlemen.

If it were news that Li Yu and Wang Jing publicly said they wanted to compete with Stephen Chow.

Then Stephen Chow’s response is explosive news.

Whether they were fans of Li Yu and Wang Jing, fans of Stephen Chow, or ordinary audiences, everyone became excited.

"Master Xing has responded. A fair showdown between the masters is about to begin."

"Master Xing's response has confirmed that Detective Chinatown 3 will be released at the same time as Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. I'm already looking forward to it. Who will be the better combination of screenwriter Li Yu and director Wang Jing, or will Master Xing, who has transformed from the king of comedy to a director, win?"

"Master Xing has to be better. Haven't you seen A Chinese Odyssey? It's an absolute masterpiece.

After many years, Stephen Chow returns to Journey to the West. Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons will definitely not be inferior to A Chinese Odyssey. "

"If the lead actor is Stephen Chow, I would agree with you. Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons starring Stephen Chow will definitely be a big hit.

The problem is that Stephen Chow is not participating, so the appeal is greatly reduced. I think Li Yu and Wang Jing have a better chance of winning. "

Everyone was arguing so fiercely that no one could convince the other.

Because before next year's Spring Festival, their discussion on which side to take is like Guan Gong versus Qin Qiong, there is no answer that can convince the public.

But one thing is for sure.

Their debate brought super high exposure to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Detective Chinatown 3".

These two movies have become the most popular movies nowadays.

Li Yu and Wang Jing were very satisfied with the result. Detective Chinatown has become popular before it was even aired.

Stephen Chow was also very satisfied, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" also became popular before it was aired.

With more bargaining chips, he will be more comfortable in the negotiations with Huayi.

Some are happy, some are sad. This wise saying passed down by our ancestors is still effective.

Li Yu and Stephen Chow were both happy, but the Wang brothers and Wang Zhe from Huayi were not happy.

"What on earth is Li Yu doing? Not only is he working with Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige, but now he's also working with Fatty Wang from Hong Kong Island.

It would be fine if they just got together, but they insisted on competing with Stephen Chow.

As soon as Stephen Chow responded, well, those two movies became extremely popular.

Stephen Chow just contacted me and said they will not back down.

If the box office exceeds 5 million, we will have to pay him an additional million yuan in dividends. If we don't accept it, there will be no room for negotiation.

Isn’t this asking too much? He didn’t star in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, so it’s not certain whether it will be recognized by mainland audiences.”

The person who is speaking is Mr. Wang, and he is very angry.

He is responsible for contacting Stephen Chow.

He was very strong in the previous negotiations, and seized on the fact that Stephen Chow did not have the lead role to strive for more favorable cooperation conditions for Huayi.

Now the PK duel between Li Yu, Wang Jing and Stephen Chow has made the movie popular before it is released.

Stephen Chow is more confident, and the situation is developing in an unfavorable direction for Huayi.

If they do not meet Stephen Chow's conditions, he may turn around and cooperate with their competitors.

Perhaps at this time there are already competitors in contact with Stephen Chow, ready to snatch the deal at any time.

The king always rubbed his temples and his head became bigger.

This is indeed a tricky question.

They are not sure whether "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will be a big hit without Stephen Chow in the lead role.

Stephen Chow is such a famous name, if it sells well, he will definitely make a lot of money.

Their mood was very conflicted.

"Let's think of a way. I don't want to give the 80 million, but I also want the movie Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. Can we find a good way to have the best of both worlds?" The King spoke.

There was a brief silence in the conference room.

Because it is really hard to find a solution that has the best of both worlds.

Feng Xiaogang, who had been sitting there silently, was secretly delighted.

In the previous two Golden Rooster Awards, he could only get consolation prizes because of Li Yu.

He finally won the first place in the national box office, but before he could wear off his glory, Li Yu and Zhang Yingmou came up with another movie "Man Jiang Hong" to drive him out.

He wanted to vent his anger by blasting Li Yu many times, but Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang both advised him to be patient.

This time, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang finally suffered the consequences brought about by Li Yu.

Finally it was their turn to be patient.

“Yes, Mr. Xing currently has the upper hand, but he definitely prefers to work with us.

He knows very well how strong the influence of Huayi is in the mainland film market.

He wants the mainland market, and cooperating with us is the best choice.”

Mr. Wang talked freely.

"make it clear."

The king always urged.

A cunning gleam flashed across Mr. Xiao Wang's eyes, and he told Mr. Da Wang about his plan.

He could personally send an email to Stephen Chow, saying that Huayi has agreed to all of Stephen Chow's conditions, including an additional 5 million in dividends if the box office exceeds million.

To put it simply, it is a verbal agreement.

Stephen Chow probably didn't expect that such a big company would be so unethical.

After getting the verbal promise, I believe that Stephen Chow will not be aggressive and force them to sign the profit-sharing agreement in black and white.

In this way, regardless of whether the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" exceeds 5 million or not, Huayi will remain invincible.

In the original time and space, they used this trick to fool Master Stephen Chow.

The spectator Feng Xiaogang was even happier, as he had a grudge against Stephen Chow.

He supported Stephen Chow, but Stephen Chow did not reciprocate and stood him up, which still makes him feel upset.

Master Xing fell into the trap, and he was a hundred percent happy about it.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Feng Xiaogang is in a very good mood today. What could be more joyful than seeing his enemy fall into a trap?
At this moment, Mr. Wang received a call.

After about ten seconds, the call ended.

"Xiaogang, wait a minute, there's something for you."

Mr. Wang opened his mouth and called Feng Xiaogang to stop.

Feng Xiaogang was in a good mood today. He turned around with a smile and asked, "Boss Wang, what can I do for you?"

"Xiaogang, you said before that you were going to release 1942 during the Lunar New Year. Take my advice and change the release date."

Mr. Wang sighed.

“Why should I change my schedule?”

Feng Xiaogang was a little unhappy.

He became famous during the Lunar New Year period, and he felt that the Lunar New Year period would bring him good luck, so even though the theme of "1942" was incompatible with the Lunar New Year period, he insisted on setting the release date during the Lunar New Year period.

He used to be the king of Lunar New Year films, and he didn't understand why Xiao Wang always asked him to change the schedule.

If someone needs to change the schedule, it should be someone else who does it; if someone needs to hide, it should be someone else who hides from him.

He is a tough guy and has never been afraid of anyone.

Until he learned the reason from Mr. Xiao Wang, he was so angry that his teeth were about to break.

"Damn it, Mr. Li is bullying me too much!"
