Chapter 124 Director, the movie is talking! (33)

Han Sanping felt a sense of devastation.

The way an international director eats is really ugly.

"Why should I be in a hurry? The project is in my company's hands. A loser almost killed the Mission Impossible series and ruined MGM. He took my project and let him look in the mirror."

Shen Santong sneered: "As for him filming it himself, first of all, I will only be happy. After all, no matter how he films the Three Kingdoms and turns it into a pile of shit, it is still Chinese culture. Secondly, let's wait until he gets the money."

Don't take it seriously at all, Wu Yusen has passed his creative peak.

The movie is no longer in my mind, and my personal opinions are more important than the movie itself.

Pure clown.

Han Sanping sensed something was wrong: "He has already attracted most of the investment."

"Let me do the math for you. 5000% of the $70 million, the remaining 30%, or $1500 million, will be raised from film funds or mainland investors."

Shen Santong chuckled, "We use this $1500 million to advance the project. Halfway through, they ask you for money, saying that the investment is not enough and they need another $3000 million. The production cost has increased to 8000 million. Will you give it to them? If you don't, the project won't go on and the previous investment will go down the drain. You must give it to them. With $3000 million, the total is $4500 million. You can find $500 million elsewhere, and 5000 million will be enough. You pay the bulk of the money, and the investment only accounts for more than 50 points."

Han Sanping took a breath and said, "He dares to play this trick on me?"

Han Sanping never thought that he was the leader of China Film Group and had a great chance of becoming the top boss of the company.

Who in the Chinese film industry dares to play with him?

Using such a despicable trick?
He understands making some money, but isn't this way of playing threatening?

"You guys are spoiled. If you punch him first, he will respect you instead." Shen Santong said with a smile.

What is there to be afraid of?
I've played this before in my previous life. The contract methods that Xiao Cui reported were all left over from Hong Kong Island.

Even though Han Sanping was used to Shen Santong's confidence, his scalp still tingled: "He is an internationally renowned director. You don't care, but someone else does. What if a higher-ranking official intervenes?"

"I will make movies like the Sixth Generation in the future, and I guarantee that they will be better than the Sixth Generation. Their aesthetics are too poor, and my movies are dark, desperate, critical, reflective, and add original sin. It will definitely make people outside think that this is a wild and barbaric place."

Shen Santong: "Then outside, they cursed the business environment, suppressed artists, and robbed entrepreneurs."

"You, you, you?" Han Sanping was shocked. It was too extreme.

Shen Santong sneered, "Isn't it just based on the noise? It's the same as saying who can't make noise. I am the hope of Chinese movies. With my status, I can make a dark movie for foreign countries. They have to give me a bone no matter what. International audience? I promise to make a big noise!"

Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" is the best example.

After the financial crisis in 08, foreign countries no longer had the money to buy off others and could only use soft power.

At this time, a leader of the new generation of Chinese films, the emerging director Ning Hao, appeared with his film "No Man's Land".

Despair, savagery, darkness, animals.
There is only no civilization.

Their level was much higher than those useless people of the sixth generation, so they were awarded on the spot.

Whether Ning Hao kneels or not, we have to throw a bone to him to try.

What if I kneel down?
Ning Hao is a leading director of the new generation, and the value of his kneeling is too great.

Han Sanping didn't believe Shen Santong's words at all.

Shen Santong's problem is not that his kneecap is hard, but that he has steel bars growing on his body. He laughed and scolded: "What are you doing? You will be infamous forever!"

"joke."

Shen Santong is not stupid. Whether from the perspective of emotion or interests, there is no need for him to flatter the West.

But crying and making trouble is necessary: ​​"At worst, I can go back to my hometown, Shanying is waiting for me. If it doesn't work, I will go to cast a shadow."

"You are threatening me, right? Shanying Films is not good enough, let alone Shanghai Films. You rushed to produce "Red Cliff" first, and they are cursing at you." Han Sanping did not know whether to laugh or cry.

The Shanghai Film Studio even called him and called him shameless.

Shen Santong was delighted: "Great! I will submit Red Cliff to Shanghai Film Studio. Shanghai Film Studio will be very happy. I also like Shanghai Animation Film Studio. When I arrive in Shanghai, I will see if I can take over the studio as well."

Shen Santong has already recruited quite a few people from Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

If he doesn't take action, other countries will, so it's better for him to do it.

At least the benefits are kept within the family. He also wants to make an animation called "The Monkey King"!

Han Sanping changed his tone and became worried: "Wu Kebo is not simple. I heard that Wang Jinghua is likely to invest in him. Huayi will be emptied and then release "Red Cliff". It's not a good thing."

Shen Santong shook his head and gave a firm answer: "Wang Jinghua will definitely leave. There aren't many people who can take over. It's either Chengtian or me. In fact, Wu Kebo came to grab the Red Cliff project because I raised Wang Jinghua's bargaining chip."

"You are the culprit!"

Han Sanping was almost mad: "Wang Jinghua's switch to Wu Kebo, do you know how big a stir it is? He is digging out Huayi and then joining forces with the Hong Kong circle. He wants to dig up the roots of the mainland film industry! Why don't you take over?!!"

"There is a structural contradiction between film companies and artist management. The more they develop their management business, the less Chengtian can develop."

Shen Santong said: "This is how Benzi is. He always wants to eat everything but always forgets about his own body."

The Japanese are really greedy. They want to swallow China like a snake swallowing an elephant. In the future, they will monopolize the new energy and hydrogen industry.

I always want to eat something I can't digest, and I don't want to share this piece of meat with others.

The result is death.

The same is true for Wu Kebo.

Han Sanping said angrily, "You can't expect everyone to have your vision. Everyone's vision is very superficial! The media is on their side, and there will be wailing and many people will be in turmoil! Have you ever thought about this, Shen Santong?"

"The media is on the side of others. It would be bad if your senior executives of China Film Group Corporation said this and it got out," Shen Santong reminded.

"Who said that? I didn't."

Han Sanping quickly took a sip of tea.

Oh shit!

I kind of lost my mind and spoke the truth.

"Don't worry. It's easy to solve. I'll clean it up in one go."

Shen Santong thought about it and said honestly that what Han Sanping said made sense.

In 05, international directors were surrounded by a halo.

Similarly, there are many people in mainland China who lack confidence, especially in terms of public opinion.

Shen Santong doesn't like the routine of Jedi counterattack, he wants to crush the trend: "Sheng Hurry up and move it to the summer vacation! Wang Jinghua's contract with Huayi expires, and the contract with Chengtian will be in August. So, let me check the time, July 7, Friday. I want to take over August. By then, Huayi will be useless, and I, Shen Santong, will be there!"

Han Sanping thought to himself that you are a wise guy, and said hesitantly: "Seven Swords will also be released during this period."

"The summer season is big enough. If he thinks it's okay, we can all have fun together and expand the market. If he thinks it's not okay, then withdraw it. Movies are a game of box office. Old Monster Xu is not a newcomer, he should understand!"

Shen Santong said lightly.

There was a bloody murderous intent in his words.

Han Sanping had the same idea, to advance the file, but he just had to wait for Shen Santong to bring it up.

He is a person who pays great attention to unity.

He had long been aware of Wu Yusen's little tricks, waiting for "The Promise" to fail.

If Shen Santong hadn't shown up, we would have continued on even if we suffered losses.

There is no other choice.

Choosing Wu Yusen will be a disadvantage, but it can buy the most precious time for the Chinese film market.

As for personal grudges and honors and disgraces, he doesn't care.

Besides, it was also an open conspiracy.

If Wu Yusen had a Chinese heart, it would be a win-win situation and everyone would be happy.

If not, the worse the intention, the greater the price you will pay in the future.

There is plenty of time for reckoning.

Duke Zheng of Zheng defeated Duan at Yan, and it was difficult to move without jumping.

The moment I jumped happily, and other local films breathed a sigh of relief and were better handled.

Shen Santong did not respond to Wu Yusen, but went into the editing room.

I started working overtime, 16 hours a day, to vigorously promote the later work.

6 month 15 day.

Shen Santong announced on Dongtian.com that the release date of "Happy Birthday" will be moved up to July 7.

It was also announced that on June 6, a film screening would be organized for theaters and fans.

We will draw lucky audience members who can come to BJ, and want to hear everyone’s opinions and make final revisions.

Finally, it was announced that on July 7, the Shengkuai crew will hold a national audience talk event, where they will have one-on-one exchanges with movie lovers from all over the country.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked!

On June 6, the second theme trailer was released, with a growth perspective.

On June 6, Shen Santong was stopped by reporters (arranged) and asked about Wu Yusen. He smiled and said, "Director, the movie is talking. Before, I only thought that Wu Sir's "Windtalkers" and "Memento Momentum" had two consecutive flops, bankrupted MGM, and that he couldn't make it in Hollywood. I didn't expect that he would be brain-destroying. Do you want me to recommend a mental hospital? I specially learned a few words of Cantonese, just in case Wu Sir couldn't understand me."

On June 6, at the film screening.

Shen Santong meets an unexpected guest.
