New Age Artists

Chapter 251: Countless enemies, breaking 33 million ()

8 month 4 day.

at night.

Shen Santong ate some ice to cool down and looked at the changes in public opinion.

Fan Bingbing was sweating all over the bed, and exclaimed in amazement: "Guy Ritchie is famous!"

Shen Santong hit the nail on the head: "Someone wants to destroy the stone."

After Stone became a huge box office hit.

Overnight, Guy Ritchie became famous in the country.

Before this, no one except movie buffs knew Guy Ritchie, and not many people had seen Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Not to mention Guy Ritchie, even if Michael Jackson hadn't died, he wouldn't be very famous.

After his death, there were massive parades in foreign countries, and only then did we realize, oh, this person was so awesome.

The people of Dongda have a sense of pride and their own pride.

No matter how beautiful an English song is, it is only a niche song.

What are the three major international film festivals? They are just chicken shit.

Even in the 8090s and s, ordinary people didn't care about the awards themselves, they only cared about bringing glory to the country.

Only film and television practitioners and outward-facing media think that the awards themselves are important.

In recent years, the so-called three major brands are still somewhat useful.

In a few years, even if someone like Liao Fan wins the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor Award, ordinary audiences won’t care.

I feel nothing in my heart, and even if the media keeps repeating the same thing, I don't think it matters much.

As Stone became a big hit, some media outlets published lengthy reports introducing Guy Ritchie.

Constantly brainwashing and telling readers how awesome Guy Ritchie is.

Before talking about "Crazy Stone", we must mention Guy Ritchie, Madonna's director husband.

Report on his career in great detail.

Guy Ritchie is an independent filmmaker who used to be a cinema projectionist. He became famous for his debut film "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".

His cult classic film is loved all over the world, in which Guy Ritchie seems to have created a whole new film language.

Later, his second work in the same style, "Robbery", was also a great success, attracting countless young audiences with its simple and pure entertainment.

The introduction usually stops here without mentioning the subsequent failure.

Instead, he started talking a lot, saying that the reason why Shitou could succeed was because he copied well.

Shi Tou plagiarized, Ning Hao plagiarized.

Shen Santong encourages plagiarism.

The plagiarism scandal in the entertainment industry was directed onto Shi Tou.

Throwing dirty water all kinds of times.

Fan Bingbing lay down behind him, hugged him and said, "We don't have any strong movies in the same period. What good will it do them if we destroy the stone?"

Shen Santong listed them all: "Too many, I have many enemies."

"Some companies in the Hong Kong circle wish I was dead. With the success of Stone, the new path of commercial films in the mainland has been completely formed."

"I have completely taken over the discourse power of Hong Kong films in commercial films."

"There are also several direct conflicts of interest."

"I raised the price of Wang Jinghua and blocked Wu Kebo's way."

"They cut off Wu Yusen's hand that was reaching out to the costume blockbuster, and recently they disparaged Chen Kexin's new play."

"They can't eat as much as they want, so they have to hold back."

"I just don't like some bad habits, but in their eyes, I am suppressing and oppressing them."

"I have greatly offended Hollywood and the American media and entertainment groups."

"Entertainment Media Group has too many dogs within us, and they won't miss the opportunity to bite me."

"I have always had a bad relationship with media that tend to favor external narratives and carry foreign influence."

"My films, even those produced by me, still have conflicts in their narrative style and outward media."

"I deconstructed Young and Dangerous, pierced the romantic tone, and also pierced the filter of the Hong Kong circle. The Hong Kong circle hates me, and the outward-looking media also hates me."

"I deny gambling on stones. There is a line in the movie that any mineral can be measured, not to mention stones."

"Originally, jade was used as the stone prop. Jade is very popular, so gambling on stones will also be very popular."

"But if I tell you the truth, people in the gambling stone industry will hate me."

"And the diamond merchants and supermarkets might also mess with me if I deconstruct diamonds."

"There are also some media that don't want us to find a new commercial path. They may want to get paid, or they may just despise themselves and lick the boots of others."

"There are too many, direct, indirect, paid and unpaid."

For example, Hong Kong Island is not a place of corruption just because you have contact with it.

It's impossible. Even if Shen Santong is the father of the Hong Kong circle, people will still blacken him.

This is a struggle for interests.

If there is a chance to crush it, many Hong Kong and Taiwan companies will definitely take action.

As for the narrative, it is an ideological struggle, and many people can't stand him.

He does not kneel, lick, flatter, or reflect.

Some media, public intellectuals, and opinion leaders are trying to mess with him. They may not have received any money, and there is no external order. They are simply brainwashed.

Fan Bingbing touched his face and said gently, "You've worked too hard."

Shen Santong laughed: "I'm not tired at all, I'm very excited, I just like watching them jump up and down."

"Some people wriggle like maggots, live in the shadows, and frown all day long." "The more they scold me, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing. They scold me, but they are also giving me popularity."

"Like chocolate, it's fine for humans, but it will kill dogs."

"They deny me, deconstruct me, and write articles that they think are insults to me, but in the eyes of some people, that's not the case."

"The enemy's abuse is a man's medal."

Fan Bingbing was infected by Shen Santong's spirit.

This man is so charming.

Shen Santong pointed to a comment and said, "You see, normal audiences have their own understanding."

A lot of the reviews were good and positive.

Some veteran movie fans simply thought it was an imitation of Guy Ritchie's "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".

Few people would say it is simply imitation.

Because the concept of the Stone story is completely new.

The design of jokes and plots are based on its own culture, so it can only be said that this is a kind of reference.

It is mostly praise for making use of foreign things in China's own way and using them extremely effectively.

Very creative and fast cutting and scene transitions.

In addition, the relationships between the characters are intertwined, with the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole is behind it, and the relationship is closely linked.

The plot always changes in incredible ways.

The audience can keep their attention on the film for a long time and laugh continuously.

There are also audiences who are paying attention to the development path of the film industry.

It is believed that small and medium-cost entertainment films such as Supermarket, Happy Birthday, and Stone are the direction in which Chinese films can currently strive to develop.

It is very suitable for the current national conditions.

Instead of attracting huge amounts of money to shoot blockbusters, it is better to work hard to produce more low-cost quality products to steadily grow.

Some viewers also complained.

Apart from Shen Santong and Ning Hao, who was influenced by him, there are few directors who simply entertain the audience.

Chinese films have long been quite lacking in interest, and most filmmakers have been complacent.

Most people believe that artistic quality is the only criterion for a film, and greatly ignore the industrial characteristics of the film.

In the past, there was only one Feng Xiaogang in Chinese film, who was able to release films that suited the audience's tastes at the right time.

Now there are only Shen Santong and Ning Hao.

Facts have proved that China no longer lacks talents capable of producing high-quality art films.

What is lacking is talent that can grasp the market trends and make successful commercial films.

At the same time, it was pointed out that one should not think that commercial films are easier to make than art films.

It is easy to make a crappy commercial film, but it is not so easy to make a commercial film that the audience will like.

Shen Santong prefers to read optimistic comments.

I don't care at all about the storm stirred up by some people.

Whether a movie is good or bad always depends on the audience's evaluation.

In its previous life, Stone was a "four-no product": no investment, no stars, no publicity, and even not many screenings.

It relied on word of mouth and gradually fermented to achieve remarkable results.

Now Shen Santong has been upgraded, the texture has been improved, the scenes have been optimized, and it has been strengthened in all aspects.

The promotion was also very good, and he thought it would be no problem to surpass "Happy Birthday".

Just as Shen Santong expected, the stone continued to burn and was not affected by the attack noise at all.

Friday, January 8th.

1980 million.

It exceeded 200 million, and the total box office reached 218.2 million.

Just going for the film history.

Saturday, April 8.

at night.

Shen Santong is already thinking about the publicity plan for next week.

He plans to conduct detailed marketing, learning from "Inception", and let the audience interpret the plot.

There are many foreshadowings and clues in the film, which makes it suitable for multiple viewings and long-term screenings.

Early in the morning.

Shen Santong looked through the briefing compiled by his assistant.

Xinjingbao, Phoenix, Huashang and Nandu all took action.

The attack came quickly and intensely.

Focus on Ning Hao.

He immediately smelled something wrong.

His intuition told him that it was not easy and that it might be the second or third week of the sniper attack.

Generally, movies don’t need to consider two or three weeks, but movies produced by Shen Santong can often sell for a long time.

Most of the box office revenue comes from the first three weeks, with the second weekend being particularly important.

It plays a connecting role and will determine the box office performance in the third week.

Faced with the fierce attack, Shen Santong was not at all panicked.
