New Age Artists

Chapter 128 Vote first as a sign of respect! (15)

The premiere was held at the BJ Exhibition Hall.

Films from this era could have premiered in the CPPCC Auditorium or the Great Hall of the People, but Shen Santong chose the exhibition hall.

Low-key.

There has been an uproar in public opinion.

Ever since Wu Yusen announced that he was going to film Red Cliff, a bunch of people in China got excited.

Shen Santong's progress was so fast that the noise was reduced.

When "A Date with the Bass" was broadcast, Shen Santong made remarks about the sixth-generation directors.

Kitano Takeshi is called the agent of the three major awards.

Name Jia Zhangke, the most successful art film businessman.

And also disdain for Wu Yusen.
Shen Santong's attitude angered a lot of people.

Too many charges!

Shen Santong is guilty of heinous crimes!
The three major European awards, Cannes, Venice and Berlin, are the art temples in the hearts of many directors and are regarded as the highest pursuit of film. They are excited when they are nominated. What is your attitude, Shen Santong?

Kitano Takeshi, your predecessor is such a great god. What you, Shen Santong, said is so unpleasant. Agent, do you still have movies in your heart?
It’s even more unpleasant to say something about Jia Zhangke.

Originally, some people praised the films of the sixth generation directors, saying that they pursued art. They might not have box office success, but they were artistic.

Shen Santong was so bad that he punctured the lung tube.

There is no art, it's all business!
Jia Zhangke is the best businessman among the sixth generation of directors.

Deconstruction, deconstruction of art as defined by some people.

Of course, among the charges against Shen Santong, what the public intellectuals and experts find most difficult to accept is Shen Santong’s attitude towards Wu Yusen.

The production cost of "Mission Impossible 2" was 1.25 million US dollars, the production cost of "Windtalkers" was 1.15 million US dollars, and "Memento" also cost 6000 million US dollars.

US dollars!

Knife music!
Do you, Shen Santong, know what US dollars are?
In addition, there is "Face/Off", which made Wu Yusen famous.

Wu Yusen is a master of violent aesthetics who has successfully made it into Hollywood!

In the eyes of many public intellectuals and experts, Wu Yusen possesses divinity.

You, Shen Santong, can't even see Wu Yusen, do you have the United States in your heart?
What made Shen Santong laugh and cry was that some people went to Beijing Film Academy to report him, including some university professors.

Beijing Film Academy talked to Shen Santong, and Shen Santong replied that he could drop out of school.

If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go to the Central Academy of Drama!
The main point is not to suffer any loss!
Not even a gesture!

Then, nothing more.

There were also people in Beijing Film Academy who disliked Shen Santong, but at that time it made no difference whether Shen Santong had a Beijing Film Academy diploma or not.

If he dropped out, Beijing Film Academy would become a joke.

Beijing Film Academy needs Shen Santong more, whether in terms of enrollment or mixing in the circle. Shen Santong, the new generation's top director, can bring tangible benefits to Beijing Film Academy.

In short, despite the controversy, the premiere was held as scheduled.

A short and fat reporter was dumbfounded as he watched the stars appear one by one. "Oh my God, the four leading ladies, Fan Bingbing, and the lead actress Li Bingbing, all the top female stars are here, as well as director Chen Ming, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, and Liu Ye. All the famous male stars from the mainland are here too."

The reporter next to him, who looked several years older, was well prepared: "Shen Santong has truly become a brand of domestic films. His films give mainland actors opportunities, and they sell as well as actors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. Plus, he has the Red Cliff project in hand. Mainland artists are going crazy and all want to be in his new film."

Although he said this, he was still shocked inside.

Just like counting stars, one by one.

"Playing a role? I think it means having sex!"

The short and fat reporter complained and suddenly hit the old reporter next to him: "Look, what is that?"

The old reporter thought to himself, why are you so excited? There are so many stars today.

He turned around and saw the person coming. He was stunned for a moment: "Wang Jing, why is he here?"

There was a lot of buzz in the circle, and there was a consensus that Shen Santong and the Hong Kong circle had a very bad relationship.

It can't be said that they are incompatible, but it's just a dog's brain.

Forced Xu to withdraw "Seven Swords" from the schedule and stepped on Wu Yusen.

There is also a fundamental conflict of interest.

Shen Santong broke the Hong Kong circle's monopoly on commercial films and seized part of the definition rights of commercial films.

It is hard to imagine that Wang Jing, one of the representative figures of Hong Kong directors, would come to support!

Shen Santong, who was receiving the guests, was also shocked when he saw Wang Jing.

The premiere and the preview will be different.

The test films will be biased towards the industry, and the exposure will not be very high.

Hundreds of media outlets attended today's premiere.

Wang Jing entered the venue calmly and said with a smile, "Director Shen, I am sorry for coming here uninvited again."

What is he here for?
Vote now!

After Wang Jing's screening, he specifically looked for information on Shen Santong.

When "A Date with the Bass" was broadcast, most people thought Shen San Tong was just bragging, and some people scolded him for being unreasonable.

What he saw was that Shen Santong not only knew the facts, but also the reasons behind them. He had a thorough understanding of some things, and was clear about art and business.

Considering Shen Santong's age, he can still be active for decades.

So, Wang Jing came.

He voted first, and his colleagues in Hong Kong and Island can do whatever they want.

Investing at this time would be a favor to Shen Santong.

Shen Santong also responded with a smile: "I just met Director Wang by accident."

“When it comes to making money, don’t make it too complicated,” said Wang Jing.

suddenly.

A reporter shouted outside, speaking in Cantonese: "Sir Wang, what do you think of the conflict between Shen Santong and Director Wu, and the hostility towards the Hong Kong circle?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Jing replied in Mandarin: "There is no hostility. We are a family. Director Shen and I are very good friends. You will know if you watch the movie. Director Shen's new film has many posters of our Hong Kong stars."

He also took the opportunity to promote Shen Santong's movie.

At the screening, Wang Jing watched very carefully.

In the movie "Happy Birthday", some interiors have posters of many Hong Kong stars.

The reporter who was questioning was stunned for a moment.

Shen Santong then said: "I grew up watching Hong Kong movies. I admire Director Wang Jing, Director Xu Ke, and Brother Cheng Long very much."

Shen Santong just hates certain people in the Hong Kong circle.

Hong Kong films are an objective thing. In a certain place and at a certain time, there was a prosperous film market.

Secondly, the Hong Kong circle is very large.

There was actually a lot of fighting going on internally.

A few years ago, at the Academy Awards, Chow Yun-fat and Anita Mui designed a dialogue to attack Zhang Ziyi in person.

Anita Mui asked Chow Yun Fat: "How can domestic actors enter Hollywood to develop their careers?"

Zhou Runfa thought for a moment and said, "Be obedient and willing to do anything."

"for example?"

"Catch the grapes."

The implication is that Zhang Ziyi fed Cheng Long grapes at the celebration party for "Rush Hour 2".

It's normal to bully Zhang Ziyi, a northern girl from the mainland.

Chile was also bullied badly back then.

But, not only did he bully Zhang Ziyi, he also slapped Cheng Long in the face.

This is very funny.

When Zhou Runfa was young, for the sake of an opportunity, he stood in front of the elevator for TVB executives and pressed the elevator button, being extremely flattering.

He went to Hollywood to film movies, such as the literary drama "Anna and the King" and the action drama "Bulletproof Monk". He did whatever he was asked to do and didn't care if the subject matter was problematic.

Even though they were so humble, they still couldn't support the box office and had to return home in disgrace.

There are many people who can criticize Zhang Ziyi, but Zhou Runfa is the least qualified!
Shen Santong doesn't care about going against the Hong Kong circle.

The Hong Kong community has no organization. When they eat meat, they scream and it looks quite imposing.

At the slightest setback, they would immediately scatter like birds and beasts.

It’s just that there are some people in mainland China who really look down upon the Hong Kong circle and regard it as having a very high status.

Since Wang Jing came to the premiere, Shen Santong just wanted to make a gesture.

With the endorsement of Wang Jing, a representative of Hong Kong directors, some rumors about him and the Hong Kong circle have been dispelled.

Don’t say he is not united, he is the most united!
Shen Santong said: "Thank you Director Wang for your support."

Wang Jingqing said sincerely: "I think we all understand what movies are about."

Shen Santong smiled and said, "Let's exchange more movies in the future, and ask Director Wang to introduce me to some Hong Kong directors."

Wang Jing was overjoyed. He was afraid that Shen Santong was really a fool. Fortunately, he was not. "Okay, okay, okay."

Wang Jing's arrival surprised and excited many mainland guests.

As expected of Shen Santong, he has accomplished what neither Zhang Yimou nor Feng Xiaogang could do.

Wang Jing greeted the mainland stars with a smile and a very good attitude.

When doing favors, you must do it properly.

In the future, if there are conflicts in movie schedules, like with "Seven Swords", we can communicate backstage and don't have to make it so awkward.

The guests arrived one after another and the premiere time arrived.

Shen Santong walked into the cinema and the host he invited was still Jingwei from the movie channel.

Shen Santong just said, "No more nonsense, let's watch a movie first."

Shen Santong’s consistent style, the movie speaks for itself!
