Chapter 230 The whole network is boiling, and a comprehensive counterattack! (44)

Shen Santong personally donated one million US dollars as event funds.

There are only seven people in this committee, but each of them has a prominent background.

Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and Shen Santong, three of the four major domestic directors are among them.

In terms of important positions, there are one president and one vice president, Chen Kaige and Wang Zhongjun from the mainland, and two vice presidents, Zhuang Cheng and Yuan Heping from Hong Kong Island, which is a reasonable composition.

There are film industries both in mainland China and Hong Kong, including Shen Santong’s Santong Entertainment Group, Huayi Brothers, Hong Kong Asia Pacific, and Chen Kaige’s 21st Century Shengkai, all of which are domestic film industry giants.

After the meeting.

Feng Xiaogang complained: "Shen Santong is using us as a gun, but Chen Kaige rushed in foolishly."

Shen Santong wanted him to be the vice president, but Feng Xiaogang, who was such a smart man, only became an executive committee member.

Wang Zhongjun sighed in his heart, it was clear what Shen Santong was up to, but this was an open conspiracy.

Either lose the overseas copyright quietly, or find a way to make a fuss.

And now with Chen Kai taking the lead, Huayi is under much less pressure.

"The Banquet" has an investment of hundreds of millions, so there is no choice.

Wang Zhongjun hated it very much. When he was young, he worked in the United States to earn money. He saw the United States at its peak and had a good impression of it.

But goodwill cannot be eaten.

Last year, Wang Jinghua ran away, the revenue of the agency business dropped sharply, and the overseas copyright of Night Banquet could not be sold at a high price. Some people did not give him a way out!

Wang Zhongjun said calmly, "Shen Santong has invested one million US dollars in real money. It would be unreasonable for us not to follow suit."

Feng Xiaogang said: "This thief Sun is really rich, but he is also a spendthrift. If he asks me to spend this money on others, I will definitely not spend it."

Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun's face did not look very good.

It must be said that Shen Santong is indeed open-minded. Whenever this committee accomplishes something, Ye Yan is the direct beneficiary.

What's the matter? Feng Xiaogang, you have opinions about this. You are really too proud.

Feng Xiaogang is such a smart man that he immediately realized that he had let the cat out of the bag: "I have something to do. I'll leave first."

So what if he said something wrong, Huayi can't do without him.

3 month 25 day.

Chen Kaige was blocked by reporters at the airport.

The reporter asked: "Director Chen, do you still insist on suing Hu Ge?"

Chen Kaige said: "No, have you seen any reports about Hu Ge? He was just used. I will not sue him."

"I will sue Harvey. I encountered discrimination on The Promise. Some racist people in the United States think that Chinese people are not worthy of making fantasy movies."

"They have tried every possible means to discredit me and my film, using their media advantage to launch a public opinion offensive. They are very powerful. I will fight to the end and I will not give in."

"I call for the establishment of a legal aid committee to use legal weapons to protect the overseas interests of period blockbusters."

"I'm not afraid. I'm not doing this for myself. I feel that period films are being systematically targeted. People need to stand up, and I want to stand up."

3 month 26 day.

When Shen Santong saw the report come out, he thought, okay, Brother Kaizi has gotten into the role and it was him who called for the establishment of a committee.

Next, call the names one by one.

Wang Zhongjun rarely accepted an interview. When asked about the overseas copyright issues of The Banquet, the reporter said: "The Banquet also encountered discrimination."

"The problem with The Promise is not isolated; it is blatant discrimination."

"There are dark forces at work on period blockbusters, not market forces."

He expressed his willingness to join the Legal Aid Committee.

3 month 27 day.

Zhuang Cheng was blocked by reporters in Hong Kong Island and appealed: "As a representative of Hong Kong Island films, I call on the country to take action. This is a systematic discrimination."

"There is definitely no way for us as individuals and ordinary companies to fight against it."

Finally, he expressed his determination to defend his rights and joined the Legal Aid Committee.

3 month 28 day.

Shen Santong was also accidentally blocked by reporters.

Shen Santong said: "Discrimination is definitely wrong. We can see from the sixth generation of directors that foreign film producers like an ugly and dark one."

"Faced with the fantastic and brilliant colors of Wuji, they think we are unworthy. I think there is a possibility."

"Previous interview? I saw some criticisms, saying I was a conspiracy theorist, but I think Director Chen is right. He is a senior and has a deeper understanding than me." "He understands foreign countries and has seen systematic discrimination. Discrimination is definitely wrong."

"My Chibi, which is aimed at the domestic market, will not be affected."

Shen Santong also expressed his willingness to follow his predecessors in joining the Legal Aid Committee.

But he is a pure passerby and knows nothing at all.

The pace is definitely not set by him, as he never forgets to promote his own movie.

Pure passerby.

3 month 29 day.

After rounds of hype, Wuji’s encounter with discrimination has gone from being a possibility to being a certainty.

Then, based on discrimination, we discussed the consequences of such discrimination and how to deal with it.

Some media outlets, seeing that the situation was not good, stood up to deny it.

Taking the initiative to represent the Tokyo University film industry and take responsibility for the problem, it is definitely not a problem in foreign countries, but a problem of our own.

Even if there is discrimination, it is the fault of Tokyo University itself.

But this time, Shen Santong learned the propaganda tactics from them, spending hundreds of thousands of yuan in manuscript fees, and adding the leading figures personally stepping out to lead the pace.

The pace was very fast and it became popular in just a few days.

Shen Santong's team gradually moved into a property near the exchange on Hong Kong Island.

He quietly used various accounts to establish short orders on major film and television companies.

This operation will not use the account he previously maintained, but the Glove account.

He gave the major newspapers in Hong Kong Island an insider's tip: "Because of offending Chen Kaige, Hollywood's imported blockbusters will be blocked."

An office building.

Stakeholders of "Curse of the Golden Flower" gathered together.

Zhang Weiping, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Zhiqiang discussed overseas copyright issues.

Zhang Yimou only makes movies, he doesn't talk.

Zhang Weiping said anxiously, "Is it what Chen Kaige and Huayi said? What about our overseas copyrights? Should we join the Legal Aid Committee?"

Jiang Zhiqiang shook his head and denied it: "It's like the Beijing circle. We can just draw a clear line between ourselves and Wuji. If we explain it well, we can definitely sell it for a good price."

He scoffed at these statements and said that even if there was discrimination, it would definitely not be discriminated against him.

While he was happy to see this change in public opinion, he was more afraid of what Shen Santong said in the interview.

As he got closer to the truth, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Feng Xiaogang was stopped by reporters and expressed his willingness to join the Legal Aid Committee.

The little cannon, which usually loves to fire off fireworks, was very cautious this time and did not fire off fireworks.

US time.

3 month 31 day.

After several days of preparation, Chen Kaige formally filed a lawsuit against Harvey in a local court in the United States.

The news spread to the country.

The already boiling public opinion suddenly exploded again.

The whole network is buzzing!

Well, suing overseas is not important at all, Shen Santong never thought about winning the lawsuit.

The key is to convert exports into domestic sales. First, start crying and create an atmosphere, then you can get people to participate.

There are secret societies and various small circles abroad, but there are only big circles in China.

In this regard, Brother Kaizi is the most suitable one, he has legitimate reasons, and he really got the right person.

If Hollywood companies don't take this seriously, they will definitely suffer, but I don't know how big a deal Kaizi can make.

Brother Kaizi is the kind of person that even novels dare not write about, but he dares to do it.

He is the kind of person who has a sense of superiority and conviction.

Taking up the banner of promoting costume blockbusters, he began to be superior again.

I dare not imagine how crazy he is. Will he force Hollywood to make him disappear from the game?
