New Age Artists

Chapter 122 Greed (13)

Upon hearing this, the people present, including Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Du Qifeng, etc., had different expressions.

Xu Ke is fully focused on his new film "Seven Swords".

Wang Jing frowned slightly.

Du Qifeng nodded in agreement.

Some other directors listened in silence.

Some of them have their own grudges, and during the boom period of Hong Kong films, some of them fought to the point of having their brains chopped off.

But going north, we are very united.

Especially in seizing the benefits of the mainland market.

I don't agree, but I won't oppose either.

Follow and reap the benefits.

"No one except us Hong Kong directors can make blockbuster movies! We must suppress Shen Santong, this idiot!"

Wu Yusen said: "We want to use mainland capital and the mainland market to promote our own people and not let Shen Santong stand out."

"Beat him! Slander him! Spread rumors! Make him look bad!"

Du Qifeng echoed: "If anyone in the mainland dares not to give us face, we must deal with him. We must also isolate those who cooperate with him!"

"It's just a movie business. We're all just making money by filming. We'll see each other sooner or later. Why bother?"

Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Jing took a puff of his cigar and smiled.

Wu Yusen pointed at Wang Jing and scolded him, "Jingzi, you are not strong enough. You can't cover up the uproar caused by our own people by filming a TV series."

"You guys chat, I'm leaving." Xu Ke stood up.

Wang Jing also said, "I have something to do as well."

The two of them left without any attempts to keep him.

After leaving the house, Wang Jing couldn't help but say, "Sir Wu, he's an internationally renowned director, he can't afford to look down on us small characters."

How many people in Hong Kong and Taiwan have been supported by "The World's Number One" and "Little Fish and Flower"!

If it weren’t for Wang Jing starting work, where would they get food to eat?

Wang Jing wanted to slap Wu Yusen on the spot because of his bossy attitude.

It’s okay to cheat those who don’t know anything about it, but Wang Jing is very smart.

"Windtalkers" bankrupted MGM, so it has no chance of staying in Hollywood.

In other words, they are both sucking the blood of the mainland. Wu Yusen can make money with his old works "A Better Tomorrow" and "Hard Boiled".

Wang Jing also has some capital. Although he is making money now, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

There is a conflict of interest, so I just don't expose it.

"Are you trying to steal Shen Santong's Chibi?" Old Monster Xu was a little worried.

He and Wu Yusen have a lot of grievances.

That year, Wu Yusen recommended him and he became the creative director of Cinema City.

Unexpectedly, Cinema City would grow bigger and bigger.

His business was booming, but Wu Yusen could only develop in the Wandao branch.

I didn't make much money from making comedies and was having a miserable time.

Later, Wu Yusen met his current wife, Shi Nansheng, who was his girlfriend at the time.

After chatting, they all came up with the idea of ​​a heroic gunfight movie.

There was "A Better Tomorrow" directed by Wu Yusen and produced by him.

Their careers reached their peak.

Wu Yusen also found the path of violent aesthetics.

The two then clashed over the sequel.

What Wu Yusen wants is violence and decisiveness, and he pays more attention to the control of rhythm and visual impact.

He believes that the sequel should not only have the courage to venture into the world, but also the tenderness of the people of the world.

The creative concept led to power conflicts in the crew and the two parted ways.

Now it is all gone with the wind.

Hong Kong films lost Wan Wan, lost the Southeast Asian market, and failed to enter Hollywood. Hong Kong films can be said to be dead.

Wu Yusen’s “Windtalkers” and “Memory rift” were flopped, and he Xu Ke’s “Shushan” was a flop.

Although he fell into the lowest point in his life, the relationship improved somewhat.

But Xu Ke also knew that Wu Yusen was different from what he was back then, probably because he had had great success in Hollywood and now he was very arrogant.

Thirty years ago when he was in college, he made a documentary about Asian Americans, and he was very familiar with Wu Yusen's situation.

A bit of convert fervor.

"It's highly likely that he can't make it in Hollywood, but he has the status to do so, so he would rather not shoot any films or touch small productions. There aren't many big productions that can invest in him. He has set his sights on the China Film Fund and Han Sanping's blockbuster plans." Wang Jing was also worried: "The Promise is not doing very well and will be released at the end of the year. If it doesn't live up to expectations, there won't be any directors in China Film Group who can make blockbusters, so he can take it all."

Wang Jing did not hide anything from people like Xu Ke, who were in the same industry, in the same circle, and were his own people.

He has his own understanding of movies and business, and he sees through it clearly.

Wang Jing allowed Xu to analyze the current situation.

Wu Yusen failed in Hollywood and lost his chance.

The US market is very cruel, not to mention that Wu Yusen is a Minion.

They are not people from small circles like the Italian gang, the New York gang, the Jewish circle, or conservative movies.

After "Windtalkers" flopped, "Memento Mori" flopped again. After two big production failures, he was completely doomed and no one could save him.

Wu Yusen actually came back a long time ago and has been raising Wang ever since.

This year we made a public welfare film, the children's film "Sangsang and the Kitten".

Wang Jing knew that Wu Yusen had a big appetite.

He is waiting for an opportunity, and the only thing that can satisfy him is China Film Han Sanping's blockbuster strategy.

This is the first time that a mainland director has made a blockbuster. From Zhang Yimou's "Hero" to Chen Kaige's "The Promise", there will definitely be a lot of controversy.

As for Chen Kaige’s recent blockbuster “The Promise”, there have been rumors in the industry that it is not very good.

There are no secrets in the circle. There are always people you can get in touch with, including post-production teams, distributors, and theaters.

The news that Wuji was not doing well spread out.

This is a great opportunity for Wu Yusen.

Among domestic film directors, Feng Xiaogang belongs to the Huayi side, and Huayi has exchanges with the Hong Kong circle.

Zhang Yimou is from the Northwest circle and is not in the same lineage as China Film Group.

Only Chen Kai is considered a member of China Film Group.

If Chen Kai's major films fail, or even if they don't fail, but are slightly not good, they will be immediately hyped and smeared.

There are no directors in the mainland who can make blockbuster movies!

By then, Wu Yusen, who is in Yangwang, will be able to make a lot of money with the title of an international director.

Eat the big meat of the film fund!
very smooth!
Wang Jing felt that in another half year, if Wuji was really as rumored, a big project would fall on Wu Yusen's shoulders.

China Film Group has no choice but to be slaughtered.

However, at this time, Shen Santong appeared!

According to the schedule revealed by Shen Santong, Red Cliff will be released in three or four years.

Before the movie Red Cliff was released, before the success or failure of the movie was revealed, Shen Santong, who held Red Cliff, was a good card in Han Sanping's hand.

Wu Yusen’s scarcity has been greatly reduced and his bargaining power has been halved!

Anxious!

very worried about!
He didn't care about his attitude and couldn't wait for "The Promise" to be released, so he asked them to help him snatch Shen Santong's project.

It’s okay to get permission to make the movie, but his wife is in charge of the commercial aspects.

"We have to schedule films in mainland China anyway, so why not take advantage of the opportunity and do a favor?"

After listening to Wang Jing's analysis, he took a breath of cold air: "Wu Yusen is sharpening his knife and is ready to kill Zhongying. Even if Shen Santong is not there, isn't he worried about the consequences?"

Permission is incomprehensible!

The mainland market is huge and much more tolerant.

If you fail, there is still a chance.

He himself is an example. Although "Shushan" failed, he was able to start filming "Seven Swords" because of the mainland market.

In his opinion, what a great film environment.

Even if Shen Santong didn't show up, Wu Yusen could still take advantage of the situation and make a big profit.

But what about the future?

If you offend China Film Corporation while living in the mainland, you will definitely not have a good ending.

It's not necessary!

Wang Jing was helpless: "He must be crazy. When we went to Wandao to look for water, we just followed whatever they said. We joined whatever association we were told to join, and we didn't listen to their pursuits, ideologies, or anything like that."

Wang Jing also doesn’t understand what his peers are doing!
Just making money by filming.

Back then, Liang Jiahui was playing a normal role, a play without any political overtones, but was banned.

When the movie star went to set up a stall, no one spoke to him except his master.

This is what Wang Jing was worried about. The Xiaobailong incident made him very uncomfortable.

If you don't make money when you have it, you're just a loser!
What will be the outcome after causing such a big trouble?
If Fei Dali has someone to protect him, he can still make it, but if no one does, there will be no movie to shoot!
Wang Jing knew very well that Wandao was so small but had such great energy, and the continent had even greater energy.

It's just restraint. Restraint doesn't mean having no temper.
