Chapter 544: Bait
"Wow!" There was an uproar in the audience.
How dare you say that you can enter the top ten?
How many people predicted that Lin Xiao stepped on shit for the top three, but now he actually said that he can still make it into the top ten this time?
"Hurry up and write it down!" A reporter said excitedly, "Wait until the box office comes out. If you don't get in, you'll be slapped in the face!"
"Is it good to enter? This is the Chinese film that is slowly entering the Asia-Pacific market. How exclusive are the Japanese and Korean markets? How many years have they not entered?"
Immediately, there was a lot of discussion.
"Mr. Lin, some people say that you are China's new generation of big directors, who have surpassed director Feng Xiaogang. What do you think?" Another reporter asked.
Lin Xiao glanced at the other party calmly.
I can't see the badge clearly, it's too far away, but it's probably the magazine that doesn't like him.
There are many people who are popular, this is a common practice, there are many people who praise him, and naturally more people want to trample him to death.
"I'm just an artist. Or, I just want to be an artist." He thought for a while and said, "However, some things don't depend on people's will. I want to make good movies and act better. Roles, roles are like plays, but there are not always so many good roles for me to play. In order to try more aspects for myself, I chose Trinity."
"As for what others think, I can only do my best. I never want to compare with the two seniors. I am me. I will only work hard to play the role I want to play and write a script that suits me more. That's all. , these comparisons are meaningless."
"Oh? So, Mr. Lin doesn't care about the two seniors?"
The crowd suddenly fell silent.
This kind of question can be regarded as a thorn, which company's reporter is this?With Lin Xiao's status, how many families dare to provoke trouble?
The person next to him glanced at the reporter's badge, and laughed secretly, "It turned out to be a reporter from Eight Weekly Magazine. It seems that Lin Xiao sued Dongfang Xindi last time for his unjust enrichment, which is still fresh in their memory."
Lin Xiao frowned, and had already remembered the position of the reporter, smiled and said, "You are misinterpreting, they are seniors, I don't want to compare, and I don't think my level can reach the level of the two teachers. level. Alright, next one."
"Mr. Lin." Immediately, a reporter stood up, "Where did the inspiration for your script come from? How did you come up with the idea of making a war film?"
This is a live broadcast. When Kaibin was asking a question, a kind old man came out of a family courtyard in Beijing and patted the head of his granddaughter who was engrossed in watching the TV series. "What? Are you chasing stars again?"
The room is not big, but it is definitely not small, and there are no luxurious furnishings, but those who are interested will notice that the landscape painting of Pan Tianshou hanging on the wall is an authentic one.
The granddaughter pouted, "He just likes him, let's see what's wrong."
"Okay, okay, look. Look." The old man said four monosyllabic words, put on his reading glasses, and was about to enter the study when he was attracted by a passage.
"On Dawn, there will be a 'Assembly, look for veterans around you' activity."
He stopped in his tracks, with a look in his eyes that was extremely disproportionate to his age, and he looked at the screen in surprise.
"War is made up of people. When I was writing the script, I had a conversation with two old revolutionaries..."
"They mentioned that during the war, many comrades were dispersed from the team, so they couldn't find the team. Some of the whole team was wiped out, and the unit number was canceled afterwards. The assembly number is such a story."
The granddaughter didn't notice that the old man clenched his hands unconsciously.
"My dear grandson, what kind of program is this?" The old man sat down unexpectedly, and looked at the super-large TV, "The person who spoke seems familiar, I seem to have seen his stuff... called, Lin... Lin what? ?”
"Lin Xiao!" The granddaughter looked at the TV without blinking and said, "Grandpa, this is the press conference for his new movie. You know Shuguang!"
"I know, it's a very good website to pass the time. I just charged a few thousand into it, and I plan to order some military programs when I have nothing to do."
"Well, look." The granddaughter is very happy to share her idol with grandpa. "He said that he will carry out the operation of the Veteran Assembly on Dawn. Grandpa, do I want to participate! Aren't you a veteran! Maybe you can watch it to him..."
The granddaughter babbled, but the old man basically didn't listen.
"Assembly..." he murmured in a low voice, "It's such a nostalgic voice..."
Sighing, he walked into the house.
In the room, the furnishings were very ordinary. Maybe some memories were brought up, so he took out a photo album and flipped through it.
His hand stopped, and on that page was a yellowed black and white photo, on which several young people were laughing together, shoulders crossed, wearing very old-fashioned military uniforms.
His wrinkled hands trembled as he gently stroked the photo.
"How long has it been..." His voice sounded like he was dreaming, "The 262 regiment was completely wiped out... Nanjing was liberated... without your body... are you... still alive..."
"Whether it was broken up... People are looking for a needle in a haystack... So many years... Decades have passed... I can't find a shadow..."
"Hundreds of people, in order to pull out a stronghold... rushing forward with a bomb... if you die, you will pull the rope..." He closed his eyes, his breathing was a little rough and uneven, "comrades back then... where are you guys? ..."
Just then, his cell phone rang.
"Hello." When he connected, his voice had returned to calm.
An inexplicable majesty, and a domineering arrogance that has been in the top position for a long time, spontaneously emerged.
"Chief, the political commissar of the engineer would like to meet with you to discuss the issue of funding." A respectful voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Well, I'll go right away."
Just about to hang up the phone, he suddenly asked, "Do you know Shuguang?"
"Yes, Chief."
"Is his network available in Hong Kong and Taiwan?"
"Yes, Chief, according to our monitoring, there is no violation of national regulations, especially Taiwan, which is very tightly controlled." The voice on the other side of the phone paused for a while, "Director, do you have any questions? Do you want to cancel this company? The government Take over the network?"
The old man paused, "It's okay, I'll just ask."
He hung up the phone, took off his coat, and looked at the military uniform hanging on the wall.
On that brand new military uniform, there are three gold stars!
A three-star general with no more than 30 people in China!
However, his gaze didn't stay for a second, and he glanced at the military uniform next to him.
That military uniform is actually the military uniform of the Whampoa Military Academy!
"Assembly number?" He muttered to himself again, "Lost comrades?"
After a while, he smiled wryly, took the military uniform and put it on.
He didn't leave, and looked at the photo album and the remaining military uniform on the wall for a long time before he sighed and picked up the phone.
"Chief." There was also a very respectful voice on the other side of the phone, but it was not the same person just now.
"Help me keep an eye on a station's recent activity."
Although the person on the phone was extremely puzzled, he immediately agreed, "Yes, Chief, which station is it and what activity is it?"
"A video station called Shuguang, named Assembly, looking for old comrades in arms."
"Yes!"
……
The next day, all entertainment magazines published Lin Xiao's cover on the front page.
"Lin Xiao's new film assembly! A video event will be launched at the same time! War films are expected to break into the top ten in Japan and South Korea!"
"Assembly number! The assembly number of veterans! The video station launched the assembly number activity at the same time."
"Invest nearly [-] million! Insufficient funds to apply for a loan at dawn! Invest in Pepsi!"
"Hmph." In Wanda headquarters, a man frowned and threw the magazine on the sofa. "It's the year-end battle again!"
"Oh, dear Zhang, why are you worried? At the end of this year, Wanda will release the Harry Potter series. Why should you be afraid of a new artist and director?" A white man drinking coffee next to him said with a smile, "I don't believe it. His films can beat Harry Potter."
"I will try to get their schedule and let them know what is a real blockbuster." The foreigner said leisurely, "Also, let me let you know that Warner is not the only one who dislikes him."
He suppressed his smile, "Which of the seven giants doesn't want to rule China, but now Lixiao actually has the momentum to dominate!"
"The video station is their cornerstone." He gritted his teeth and said, "It can be said that with this in hand, they will not lose."
"However, this is only theoretical."
"The premise is that if foreign blockbusters are not screened together with him." His voice was gloomy, "The New Year's Eve file is only a few days, if all the films of our seven giants fill up the New Year's Eve file, no matter when he screens, there will be a blockbuster film." Let’s see how he can keep shooting! How many times does he dare to make this kind of big investment?”
"He shoots one, let's snipe one! After two or three times, if he uses a five-second commercial, no one will believe it!"
"I'd like to see why he can fight against the vanguard of the Big Seven." The white man sneered, "Dear Zhang, you don't have to worry, no one can compete with the Big Seven. Universal this year is Spider-Man, DreamWorks With Shrek, a new director's film can be so powerful? I don't believe it!"
Zhang Yongliang was taken aback, and after a while he said doubtfully, "You mean, the giant companies that have entered China now... have taken action?"
"He touched the interests of all of us!" The white man said with a frown. "We don't need a unified Chinese market, which will make our investment in vain. We need a competitive market, which is in everyone's interest." .”
"This was not brought up by Warner, but it was agreed by all the people who have companies in China."
Zhang Yongliang took a deep breath, "You guys are hurting the box office confrontation... Killing one thousand enemies will hurt you eight hundred."
"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain." The white man also said rather reluctantly, "Let this company and this person continue to develop like this, and our share in the Chinese film and television industry in the future will be reduced."
But in the dawn, Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to the outside public opinion at all, Lin Xiao and Qin Zhong were sitting nervously in front of the computer.
"How many mailboxes have you received?" Lin Xiao asked the staff calmly.
"Dozens of emails."
"According to the standard?"
"Some are, some are not."
"If you don't follow the standard, you can return it and attach the standard model." Lin Xiao looked at the emails that were transferred, and they were all photos and features.
"Screen and bring together the ones from each region." He ordered, "make the qualified ones into a video."
How dare you say that you can enter the top ten?
How many people predicted that Lin Xiao stepped on shit for the top three, but now he actually said that he can still make it into the top ten this time?
"Hurry up and write it down!" A reporter said excitedly, "Wait until the box office comes out. If you don't get in, you'll be slapped in the face!"
