New Age Artists

Chapter 197 Huayi is Qi Tongwei, Chen Kaige is not Hou Liangping (13)

Chen Kai's reputation is about to be ruined, and Shen Santong doesn't plan to do anything.

In the final analysis, it's what he deserves.

Tortured.

Shen Santong still felt torture when he watched it again.

I wanted to use a knife to pry open Kaizi's head and see if there was anything inside.

I'm afraid it's half mud and half water, and when mixed together it's cement.

The story of "The Promise" and the philosophy pursued by Brother Kaizi are built on a sad and funny love story.

On the outside, it seems to be traveling through the fantastic world of Infinite, but on the inside, it is full of clichés of the mundane world.

In Shen Santong's opinion, the dreams recalled in Guo Jingming's "Fantasy City" are more sincere and touching than those in "The Promise".

The actors' accents are even more disastrous, making my scalp tingle and so awkward that it feels like my core is about to burst.

Hiroyuki Sanada is from Japan, Jang Dong-gun is Korean, and together with Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi from Hong Kong, the four of them couldn't even pronounce a single line properly.

Compared with the terrible accent of the lines, Shen Santong even felt that the plot was okay.

Only two shots left a deep impression.

One is Zhang Baizhi shouting from the rooftop: "Anyone want to see what I'm wearing under my cloak? Then put down your weapons."

This is definitely a classic line.

It is also a classic in the history of China's entertainment industry.

It just had nothing to do with the movie, but a photography exhibition a few years later.

But it's disgusting to watch on the big screen.

When Zhang Baizhi spoke, his saliva was drooling.

I don’t understand why Kaizi chose this shot, or does he think it’s sexy?

Another part that impressed me the most was the second half.

Xie Tingfeng took out a steamed bun and said with tears in his eyes: "It's all because of you. It's you who made me no longer trust anyone in the world."

"Including myself."

"You've ruined my chance at being a good person."

"I haven't been loved since then."

Shen Santong couldn't help but burst out laughing at this plot.

He stopped talking only when he realized that no one else was laughing.

Ok.

The distributor Warner and the cinema chain present at the event were in a different mood from him.

Everyone's face didn't look very good.

Shen Santong feels that it will not affect the release of "The Promise".

The films released during the Lunar New Year period at the same time as The Promise include the withdrawn Seven Swords and A Chinese Odyssey.

All are heavyweights.

In comparison, under the same standards and requirements, "The Promise" may be ranked first among the three.

The long movie screening finally ended.

Shen Santong felt like he was living a year in a day, so he quickly got up.

He said hello to Han Sanping and wanted to leave: "I'm leaving first. See you later."

Han Sanping pulled him to a small private room and asked carefully, "After watching the film, what do you think?"

Han Sanping still has some fantasies.

Shen Santong immediately put on a mask of pain, but didn't say anything too harsh: "Apart from the pronunciation flaw, the main problem is the weak logic. It's just a steamed bun, is it worth it?"

"."

Han Sanping was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Indeed, the logic is too weak."

Seeing this, Shen Santong comforted him, "It's okay. I watched "A Chinese Odyssey" a few days ago, and it was even worse than this."

"At least Chen Kaige's pictures are of a basic standard."

"."

Han Sanping was silent again.

Well, domestic films are just worse than others, right?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Santong thought that he was still not optimistic, so he continued to comfort him: "I heard that "Seven Swords" is also very bad. Don't worry, "The Promise" is a general among the short ones in the Lunar New Year period."

"."

Han Sanping remained silent for three times.

It's really a comparison of the worst.

Looking around, there are few people who can make great contributions in the Chinese film industry.

The look he gave Shen Santong became softer, and he was a good comrade.

If it weren't for Shen Santong, he would have been in a lot of trouble.

"Supermarket" earned 150 million, and "Happy Birthday" earned 450 million, so the two movies took in 600 million.

This year's movie box office target was achieved ahead of schedule, so he is sitting pretty.

"The Promise", "A Chinese Odyssey" and "Seven Swords" were terrible, and their Lunar New Year box office performances did not meet expectations, but that did not affect this year's box office results.

Han Sanping had heard some sour remarks and some people were not convinced.

The sixth generation of directors are extremely jealous, and so are the fifth generation. Even the fourth generation, including some teachers in film schools, have all kinds of weird theories.

Seeing Shen Santong making money, he was jealous.

Han Sanping also thought it was exaggerated. According to last year's 15 billion, Shen Santong accounted for one-third. This year's total box office is expected to be over 25 billion, and Shen Santong alone accounts for one-fifth.

If we only count the box office of domestic films, one person accounts for nearly half.

However, take a look at the movies in theaters today.

So sour ass.

Shen Santong deserves to earn this money!
They don't even consider the quality of the movies they make, which is a pure insult to the audience's intelligence.

Seeing that Han Sanping didn't say anything, Shen Santong said a few more words: "A week after The Promise, The Monkey King will be released. I'm afraid Huayi will buy the script to discredit The Promise, or even attack Chen Kaige."

"I think Hong Kong Island will make a move. With me, they definitely don't want to see another mainland director who can make blockbuster movies."

"Of course, the high tone of this play is also a problem. If it fails to meet the audience's expectations, the audience will curse. I think Director Chen will not be able to stand it with his temper."

Although Chen Kai's reputation has been ruined, it is also good for Shen Santong.

He became the only card in China Film's hand.

Shen Santong still gave a reminder.

There is an enemy outside, Hollywood.

If Hollywood takes over the film market, the Chinese film market will follow in Europe's footsteps and can only produce marginal and dark themes.

This is also the reason why he did not break off relations with the Huayi people.

At present, the mainland film industry is too weak.

To put it in a broader perspective, Hong Kong films are also domestic films.

Shen Santong guessed that Chen Kaige was defeated in his previous life, and this was the reason why Han Sanping was determined to use the Hong Kong circle.

The lesser of two evils.

The family is poor.

When you are poor, you have to live your life by counting your days.

It is also a way to give Huayi an eye-opener in advance.

Huayi was able to reach the top by cooperating with Han Sanping's Lunar New Year and commercial film strategy.

Hearing this, Han Sanping nodded solemnly: "I understand, but Chen Kai is still in charge of this play. With his personality, he will definitely fall."

He was the one who brought up Wang Xiaogang, Wang Daxiao and Feng Xiaogang.

When the factory was state-owned, he saw that commercial films were the trend.

They wanted to make a Lunar New Year film, but there were no professional directors available, so they had to work with Huayi.

Given Huayi's current situation and his understanding of the kings, he will definitely use the dirty tricks he learned from outside against his own people.

This group of people only dare to deal with their own people.

Even if they are a little more outward-looking, such as competing with the Hong Kong circle, they don’t dare.

Han Sanping also noticed some developments in the Hong Kong circle.

Some people are coveting the money from the film fund.

The key does not lie in the Hong Kong circle, but in the cooperation of people in China Film.

If Shen Santong hadn't appeared out of nowhere, he might not have been able to trick him.

As for Chen Kaige, Han Sanping knew him better.

Too noble, too pretentious, and too fragile.

Chen Kaige is definitely no match for these people in the Huayi and Hong Kong circles.

If Chen Kai had half the character of Shen Santong, Han Sanping wouldn't have to worry.

Han Sanping patted Shen Santong on the shoulder and said, "It's better to have you. Without you, the Hong Kong circle would have to take advantage of it."

Shen Santong saw that the conversation was almost over and he had reminded everyone that needed to be reminded, so he left: "Okay, I'm leaving now."

Seeing Shen Santong leave in such a leisurely manner, Han Sanping was a little amused.

Sometimes Shen Santong is very mature, but sometimes he acts on impulse.

Shen Santong glanced at it before leaving.

Brother Kaizi is arguing with the distributor and theaters.

Chen Kai shouted out one thousand copies each.

Aim for the highest record, to break the record of "Happy Birthday".

The distributor and the cinema only wanted to give four hundred and fifty, which was more than half less.

Shen Santong felt that Brother Kaizi really had a sense of superiority.

But he is a little arrogant and a little pretentious.

But he won't, and doesn't bother to, mess things up.

Huayi must be Qi Tongwei, who is evil and mean.

Chen Kaige is similar to Hou Liangping, but to say that he is Hou Liangping is a bit insulting to Hou Liangping.

Hou Liangping is willing to sacrifice his life for justice.

When it comes to dealing with each other, Shen Santong prefers to deal with Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige likes to show off, but when he wants to take down someone, he will do it openly.

Such people are the easiest to deal with, just treat them with respect.

There is no need for any actual benefit, just say some nice words, it will cost nothing.

However, Shen Santong complained in his heart that there were no normal people in the current Chinese films.

Zhang Yimou's new image is self-contained, Chen Kai is extremely arrogant, the Chinese and foreigners are mean, and the Hong Kong circle is even more pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to curse.
A swarm of insects.
