New Age Artists

Chapter 220 This is a slide that you cannot touch! (33)

Commissioner Smith was overwhelmed, surprised and delighted.

The most important task on his agenda recently is to guide public opinion on the fact that The Promise has made costume blockbusters unpopular.

That stupid director Chen Kaige had a disastrous response.

Let everything go too smoothly.

Just to bring up the past, the filming of "The Promise" caused damage to the local environment, and the filming site has now become a garbage dump.

Then there are the new films being shot by two other great directors in this country, Zhang Yimou, and that Feng Somegang's new film.

All the responsibility for their overseas copyright sales not being as good as expected was put on Chen Kaige.

The reason for the constant exaggeration is that the US film distributor returned "The Promise" last year, which has caused overseas film distributors to slow down and be more cautious in purchasing Chinese films.

The great book "The Promise" has done great harm to Chinese films.

Now something has changed, that Shen has reappeared.

Smith had to admit that Shen Santong did not look like a cultural worker in this country.

Much like some engineers.

He has a very keen sense of smell and is a master in communication and marketing.

Not easy to deal with.

it is good.

It's good that it's not easy to deal with.

Those idiots in Peanut Village want to take him down in order to appease Murdoch.

He was loyal to Smith.

Probably because of some disgusting lobbyists, putting fucking pressure on those shitty congressmen.

They were going to fire him, the most capable person on the other side of the ocean.

Haha, shit bureaucrats.

Those bastards in the embassy who got their positions by donating money can just let their relatives start a company.

By paying consulting fees to relatives' companies in the name of investigating the local social environment, you can make a lot of money from the funds.

What about him?

If he loses this job, many companies will close their doors to him because he has offended Murdoch.

If you can't get through the revolving door, your life will be ruined.

Fortunately, Shen Santong caused trouble again, and his position was stabilized at once.

Ancient Eastern wisdom works.

Only by keeping bandits can you live longer.

If Chen Kaige had been smarter and less vulnerable, he wouldn't have to worry at all.

Smith is already looking forward to Shen Santong's movie, hoping it will be a big hit.

He will definitely support movie tickets then.

In this way, the Dongda film market, which has eliminated costume blockbusters, will have a new banner.

This will hinder the plans of those entertainment tycoons.

The greater the resistance, the more we need a specialist like him who is familiar with the environment of Southeast University and has connections.

Smith called Editor-in-Chief Hu and his friends from Southern Metropolis and Phoenix and ordered them, "Stop it."

Can't talk about it anymore.

Shen Santong brought up a lot of topics, not just movies, but also soybeans.

The people of this country, unlike the media people in front of us, have dignity.

The Americans want to do business with the Dong people, and it would be bad if something goes wrong.

Smith must be pulled back and the grain merchants cannot be touched.

Murdoch is at most a new rich and an Australian bumpkin.

Whenever he thought of the grain merchants' network of relationships and methods of doing things, Smith shuddered.

Shen Santong is not afraid because the people of this country are protected by braver people.

He Smith is afraid!

If you offend Murdoch, you will never be able to enter the revolving door.

If you offend the grain merchants, it would be fatal.

This is a slide that cannot be touched!

Shen Santong had dinner with Chen Kaige and Chen Hong.

Have a proper meal.

In an old lamb rib restaurant.

Chen Kaige wanted to book a Western restaurant, but Shen Santong liked the atmosphere of fireworks, so he chose this one.

Chen Kaige was convinced: "Brother, you are awesome, really awesome!"

He was frightened.

Online and offline, everyone is calling for a fight, and I can’t sleep well. There is also pressure from the industry.

There are rumors in the industry that "The Promise" will affect foreign film producers' acquisition of the copyrights of new films by Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.

He looked down on these two people.

But if his career in costume dramas was cut off because of him, Chen Kaige, he would be cut off from the industry.

Chen Kaige is not a robot, he definitely cares.

The internet, print media, the industry, plus the fact that "The Promise" was widely criticized and the European and American copyrights did not sell well, made him want to die.

Now that the interview with Shen Santong has been released, I'm going.

It turned out that it was not his fault, but the fault of foreign forces.

No wonder the film producers who were so enthusiastic before suddenly lost interest. Now it makes sense.

Those Southern Metropolis and Phoenix that were making so much noise before, damn, all of them stopped reporting.

It was as if an invisible hand swept away everything.

Some passionate media outlets suddenly shut up and stopped discussing the issue.

Instead, the discussion turned to "Huaer Band's plagiarism", "Guo Degang's popularity", and "Yue Opera's century-old classic".

Discussion on the continued popularity of "Wulin Waijia".

Discuss Wang Fei's pregnancy and delivery time.

There is also gossip about Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi, who might be getting married.
All of a sudden I stopped paying attention to "The Promise" and Mantou, as if nothing had ever happened.

Chen Kai couldn't understand how Shen Santong did it.

He knew that Shen Santong did not have such a sinister background as rumored.

And no matter how powerful or famous their background is, they can’t make these media outlets shut up.

But Shen Santong did just that, and Chen Kaige was truly impressed.

Shen Santong smiled and said, "Director Chen, let me make it clear first, what I said in the media, including my criticism of you, is a means."

"A little scolding can be a big help, don't you understand?"

Shen Santong wanted to receive favors when doing favors. It was impossible for him to do good things and still be blamed. He explained, "We don't need this here. You are like some people who play the polls, such as the United States."

"When a governor's son gets himself into trouble, it's best to expose it at a non-election time."

"At this time, the media launched some criticism, and then the governor's son and the governor came out to admit their mistakes."

"It may seem like scolding, but in fact it is defusing a bomb. When the election comes, this point cannot be used as a means of attack."

Chen Kai gained new insights and nodded repeatedly: "I think you are right. I can tell the difference between good and bad words."

"The audience has too high expectations of me. They treat me as a saint, and other directors are treated as bad guys."

"From a high position, I certainly appear short. From a low position, others certainly appear tall."

"Among the movies released during the Lunar New Year, The Promise is the best."

“My The Promise is a good movie.”

Shen Santong thought to himself, you are really confident, not just ordinary confidence, but The Promise is indeed a bad movie.

He said perfunctorily: "Ah, you are right."

Parting time.

Chen Kaige held Shen Santong's hand tightly: "Anyway, thank you very much, little brother. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Chen Hong said generously: "When we are free, let's have hotpot together."

It’s so cool to have sex with Shen Santong.

China Film.

Han Sanping stared at Shen Santong who was taking his tea leaves, and said in amazement: "You are wasting your talent by making movies, but you are really good at publicity. Have you ever considered joining the system?"

Shen Santong shook his head. It was not as strict as it was later, but he didn't want to join. There were too many restrictions. "I said that the road to costume blockbusters is going to be cut off. Does it affect you?"

Commercial films are the key to Han Sanping's rapid rise.

The blockbuster strategy is an important conceptual support for Han Sanping to take charge of China Film.

Upon hearing this, Han Sanping said angrily, "You are so bold. You have offended Murdoch, and then you have offended Harvey, and the group of people behind him, and you have also offended the grain merchants. You have never thought about going abroad, right?"

Shen Santong said: "Why should I go out there? I can be a good person but I want to be a dog. I am not sick."

Han Sanping was stunned. Even though he knew some of Shen Santong's thoughts, he was still stunned.

In the current film and television circle, let alone the film and television circle, let’s expand it a little bit.

How many people dream of having a green card?

Shen Santong was not only disdainful in words, but also in actions.

Han Sanping couldn't describe this kind of confidence.

Han Sanping took out a notebook and said, "Take a look, is there anything you can do?"

Shen Santong flipped through it and realized it was the Ma Assassination Case, one of the four major strange cases in the late Qing Dynasty, and he understood what was going on.

Chen Kexin's "The Warlords".
