Chapter 152: Defeat Wu Yusen and you will have international influence (13)

later generations.

"Man Jiang Hong", hanging Yue Fei and selling Qin Hui.

He was just trying to flatter Yue Fei and secretly whitewash Qin Hui.

If the filming of Yue Fei turns into a script-killing movie, the director will never have to make movies for theaters again.

With today's film production and promotion costs, those who like to deconstruct Yue Fei cannot support the box office.

The director later filmed "Article 21", which was of decent quality and dealt with the sensitive issue of self-defense.

But compared with the popular reality-themed films in the past, the box office was average.

There is a price to pay for touching the hearts of the audience.

Han Sanping smiled bitterly and said, "If Wu Yusen shoots it, it might be released."

Emotionally, Han Sanping also cannot accept Wu Yusen's teasing of Yue Fei.

So, he spoke some of his true feelings.

I told Shen Santong the story of unity.

After listening, Shen Santong fell silent.

It's not impossible, but there's a high probability that Wu Yusen will be on the show.

After all, even Lust, Caution can be seen.

In the eyes of some people, Wu Yusen's influence is no less than that of Li An.

With the name of the internationally renowned director Wu Yusen, it can still be released even if the film is shit.

Shen Santong thought for a moment and said, "If we are not afraid of anything going wrong, let him do it."

Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan.

Jump out madly and sweep it all away.

Han Sanping suggested: "If they don't match, let him take one too. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Shen Santong frowned and wanted to curse, but he suppressed his anger and said, "Red Cliff has such a huge budget and the subject matter is the same, the risk is huge."

"If everyone doesn't follow the rules, isn't Chen Kaige Wuji? I'll make Youji! Isn't Cheng Long Shenhua? I'll make Chao Shenhua! If anyone's movie is popular, I'll follow suit. With a low budget of two to three million, I can finish filming in a month. Let's all play the market to death!"

Shen Santong knew very well that although people in China did not care about copyright, there were rules.

Without rules, the film market will soon be doomed.

The lessons of Hong Kong films are right in front of us. If people follow the trend blindly, a subject will be quickly ruined.

When Hong Kong films were popular, there wasn't even an official film organization.

Because it was called British Hong Kong at that time, Britain did not care about the long term.

The degree of marketization of Chinese films is still not high, but the improvement of industry rules does not refer specifically to market rules. In terms of overall rules, they are no worse than those of Hollywood.

Because China is result-oriented, it will be held accountable if any adverse impact is caused.

Shen Santong probably guessed what was going on. If it were an ordinary company or an ordinary director, there wouldn't even be room for discussion.

China Film Group also has a stake in his "Red Cliff", and it also concerns Han Sanping's blockbuster strategy.

After all, Wu Yusen is not an ordinary person.

rule?

They have privileges!
Han Sanping quickly comforted him: "Didn't you not approve the project? We, China Film, are one of the initiators of your Red Cliff project. The relevant departments for project approval informed me first. I also think it can't be messed around, so it's suppressed."

Han Sanping complained and gave some details: "Some leaders attach great importance to Wu Yusen and put pressure on me. I said that it was a big production and the subject matter was the same, so the risk was great."

"The leader said he wanted to give it a higher regard, so we gave in if we could. I withstood the pressure and refused to give in."

"Then the leader took a step back and said that we should just work together to show that we are a family, and that's when the term 'co-production' came into being. I realized that they were waiting for me here. What can I do?"

Shen Santong would never agree to co-produce, and would rather each shoot his own film: "How can we arrange the schedule? If he goes on set first, Red Cliff and even the Three Kingdoms theme might be ruined."

"If I go out first, the audience will subconsciously think that his film is as good as mine, and a large number of audiences will be deceived into going to the cinema. It will affect my reputation and the reputation of the sequel."

"If the schedules clash, I don't mind, but will they agree?"

Han Sanping advised: "Don't be careless. Wu Yusen is not a good person, but he is a good director. If he wants to make Red Cliff, he may not respect history, but his commercial appeal will be beyond doubt."

He was accustomed to Shen Santong's confidence.

But Shen Santong habitually and sincerely denied Wu Yusen's directing skills and did not approve of them.

At the peak of his career, he made his way through Hollywood, and as a Chinese director, he directed many top productions.

Not a simple character.

Shen Santong stated his requirements: "Wu Yusen is not afraid of accidents, and those who support him are not afraid of taking responsibility. If they want to film Yue Fei, then film it. I have no objection to filming Red Cliff, but it must be released on the same schedule as mine."

Shen Santong didn't want to explain more, as many Chinese people lack confidence in this era.

Compared with some leaders, Han Sanping is already considered good.

Shen Santong further emphasized: "No! It's not the same schedule, it must be released on the same day!"

"I think you're right. International influence is very important. Our schedules clash. I'll beat him hard and step on him directly. Then international influence will come."

"Hong Kong and Taiwan like to try to stand out, so I'll try it for once."

Shen Santong gained great confidence from the box office success of his film.

The box office potential existed in 05. By 08, the level of economic development, urbanization, and theater chain construction would have been greatly improved, so it would not be difficult for Red Cliff to make a profit.

Compared with Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", he is also confident that he can make his investment back.

Besides, what if I don’t make my money back?

He only paid one tenth of the cost of Red Cliff, and also asked for a share of the box office. He might not make a profit, but he certainly won't lose money. If he loses, it will be the loss of other investors.

What he achieved by defeating Wu Yusen was Shen Santong's personal reputation!

Zhuangshan is not terrible, whoever is ugly is embarrassed.

It’s not scary to have the same subject matter, but whoever can’t shoot it well will be embarrassed.

If you have the guts, Wu Yusen, come and join us on this big stage of Chinese film market!

If Wu Yusen dares to come, Shen Santong will beat him up!
"."

Han Sanping is going to take back his previous evaluation. Shen Santong is getting cocky!
It's no longer about doing things in a high-profile manner, but about doing things arrogantly. Too arrogant!

He doesn't treat Wu Yusen as a human being at all!
Shen Santong gave his bottom line requirement that he had no say in the filming of "Yue Fei". He could be as tough as his fists, but there was nothing he could do.

With an internationally renowned director and the endorsement of solidarity, they are invincible in this era.

Han Sanping had no idea what to do, but if someone really wanted to do it, they could indeed do it.

He agreed to film "Red Cliff", but it had to be released on the same day.

Han Sanping and Shen Santong discussed the matter and felt that the time was right.

Ask the secretary to inform Wu Yusen that he agrees to meet with him.

Wu Yusen put pressure on him through other channels, and Han Sanping was angry inside.

In the film industry, especially the market-oriented part, he is used to having the final say.

If the biggest threat to Chinese films right now were not Hollywood, Hong Kong films would still be part of domestic films.

For the sake of the overall interests of Chinese films, Han Sanping cannot touch Wu Yusen.

Whenever the external environment is better and local films develop, he will make the other party understand what the basic rules of doing things are.

Han Sanping and Wu Yusen exchanged a few pleasantries and said bluntly, "Shen Santong's Chibi project is not included in the negotiations."

In a notification tone, he said: "If you want to shoot Red Cliff, do it separately, but it must be on the same day as Shen Santong's project. If you want to shoot Yue Fei, it's up to you. You have a wide network of contacts, so go find someone to put your name on it."

When Wu Yusen films Yue Fei, Han Sanping won't get involved at all. Whoever supports him can endorse him.

Wu Yusen asked with a smile, "Can the problem of film investment be solved?"

Han Sanping frowned and said, "You said two months ago that you found 70% of the investment, but now the money is still not enough?"

"In this way, if the film fund invests, it will follow the Shen Santong model. He will spend his own money first."

"China Film Finance will be involved in your project. You spend $3500 million, and I will find a way to help you with the remaining $1500 million."

Han Sanping took the overall situation into consideration and endured personal honor and humiliation, which was one thing.

But he just didn't fall out with Wu Yusen.

Everything is done according to the rules, especially Shen Santong has set a good example.

Wu Yusen was heartbroken. This was too harsh.

It’s not easy for him to make money!

Damn Shen Santong!
But he didn't dare to get angry, because he could see that Han Sanping was not a leader he could treat with arrogance.

Wu Yusen quickly thanked him, “Okay, but I need to communicate with the investors. Thank you, Master San, for showing me the way.”

After Wu Yusen left, Han Sanping suddenly thought that he should change his attitude towards Hong Kong directors.
They are easy to talk to!
Wu Yusen walked out of China Film Corporation.

I didn't get what I wanted and the atmosphere of the conversation was not good, but I accepted it anyway.

Han Sanping was obviously not like some of the leaders he usually interacted with, and he looked up to him.

That way, he can bully.

Now that Han Sanping has Shen Santong, even if Chen Kai's movies fail, there is still a fallback.

Moreover, Shen Santong is no longer the same as he was two months ago. Shen Santong, who made the number one movie in film history, gives Han Sanping more confidence.

Wu Yusen has become rational, optimistic and humble!
It was normal for Han Sanping to be difficult to talk to, he comforted himself in this way.

He is a big leader, and he had bad intentions before, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation.

I was able to meet him in person and give him a notice, and I have taken care of him.

Wu Yusen said to the assistant translator: "Mr. Han San is a nice guy!"

The assistant translator is a Guangdong university student studying in BJ. He works as a Cantonese translator for Hong Kong people and earns money part-time.

Seeing Wu Yusen's admiring look was disgusting.

In the past two days, he not only did this translation, but also several others.

He had seen through it. The more polite and enthusiastic he was to Wu Yusen, the harder it was for him to talk to him.

But after being treated coldly today, Wu Yusen suddenly smiled.

Wu Yusen went to Wu Kebo to ask for money.

Wu Yusen was very rude to Wu Kebo and went straight to Chengtian's office in BJ.

Without even saying hello, he walked straight into Wu Kebo's office.

Wu Kebo's female secretary quickly stopped him: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu is in a meeting, you have to make an appointment first."

Wu Kebo was discussing work with a female artist under his company. When he saw Wu Yusen barging in, he flew into a rage: "I'll fight you!"

The female artist quickly put on her clothes to cover her body parts.

Wu Yusen doesn't care at all. Whether it is Hong Kong Island or Hollywood, it doesn't matter.

He went straight to the point and asked, "Do you have money?"
