Chapter 268 Repeater, Big-breasted Girl Will Die, Opening Wu Yusen (13)

Local leaders also attended the opening ceremony.

Hongyadong was completed and opened in September, which greatly boosted the popularity of stones.

It became a hit as soon as it opened.

Shen Santong's idea of ​​promoting local cities through movies was initially successful.

This brings a very direct benefit: filming becomes more convenient and all places are very cooperative.

Question session with reporters.

A reporter asked Director Chen: "Teacher Chen, what do you think about participating in Shen Santong's version of Red Cliff and playing Cao Cao?"

Director Chen Ming said: "I was deeply touched and learned a lot from Director Shen Santong."

"I have some experience of this myself. I participated in Director Zhang's Hero, and I can say with certainty that the story told in Red Cliff is completely different."

"It is our Chinese historical story, not a Western story told in the guise of Chinese history."

"I also participated in Infernal Affairs, and I think the core of Director Shen's Red Cliff is very different."

"Like in Infernal Affairs, there are betrayals and counter-betrayals, and catching a criminal is full of twists and turns. It's impossible here."

"When we catch criminals, we need to deploy defenses, three layers inside and three layers outside, to prevent them from having a chance to react."

"If we just randomly arrest criminals and the operation fails, I think we will conduct a thorough investigation into the internal issues on our mainland."

"Hong Kong-style thinking, good and evil, black and white, mixed together. It has a sense of life, but not grand enough."

"The core of Director Shen's Red Cliff is based on history and is magnificent."

"Stories like Jiang Gan stealing the book, borrowing the east wind, and releasing Cao Cao at Huarong Pass are all fictional."

"I think Director Shen's Red Cliff can set a label and a role model."

"It can even be said that he has set a precedent, just as he pioneered the genre of Chinese commercial comedy films, and will also create a new format for period costume blockbusters."

“As an actor, I’m very excited to be a part of this project.”

"I feel that I am doing a great job. I will do my best to perform well and let my Cao Cao be recognized by the audience."

"It's a great achievement in my career,"

The reporter was very impressed by Director Chen's long speech.

As expected of Teacher Chen, he has a wide range of knowledge.

Understand history and the differences between Hong Kong culture and mainland culture.

Learned a lot.

It turns out that many of the plots in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are fake.

Some reporters were also surprised.

Director Chen spoke so highly of Shen Santong's version of "Red Cliff" that he started praising it before filming even started.

To put it in a shameless way, it's a bit licking.

Some even compared it with Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and praised Shen Santong's "Red Cliff".

Moreover, using "Infernal Affairs" as an example seems to be pointing directly to Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" next door.

But it is consistent with Director Chen’s previous attitude.

I don't like the atmosphere in Hong Kong and I don't like the movie "Infernal Affairs".

He was asked to act in the third film, and it was said to be an important role, but in the end he was just a supporting role.

Shen Santong inexplicably felt that Director Chen's words sounded very familiar.

Seems to be some of his views, but not exactly the same.

A reporter asked Shen Santong: "Director Shen, what do you think of Director Wu's Red Cliff? Lu Wei is no longer the screenwriter, and Director Wu's wife is the screenwriter?"

Shen Santong said: "Director Wu Yusen is an internationally renowned director. He has his reasons for doing everything. He is a very experienced director. It is not convenient for us outsiders to comment on him."

Han Sanping, who was attending the opening ceremony, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

Director Chen was also a little uncomfortable and subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he had an amazing ability to control his facial expressions, otherwise it would have been bad if he laughed.

Knowing Shen Santong's fierce and disdainful attitude in private, and then listening to him blatantly telling lies in public, the contrast is too great.

The reporter was also surprised. Are you still Shen Santong? You are so gentle, which is unlike you.

A reporter asked again: "Director Shen, the overseas copyright of Curse of the Golden Flower has been blocked. Costume blockbusters have problems with overseas revenue. You once said that Red Cliff, directed by Wu Yusen, is mainly aimed at the overseas market. What do you think now?"

"Also, the film Curse of the Golden Flower was not well received in Europe and America. Is there discrimination?"

Shen Santong knew the situation of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

The domestic release date is scheduled for December 12, which is two weeks away.

As for overseas, it’s terrible, mainly North America and Germany.

The rumor has already started to spread, replicating the operating procedures of Kaizi Ge's "The Promise".

At this point in time, the overseas interests of this drama are already beyond repair.

There is no doubt that he will die.

Shen Santong couldn't save her either, and was powerless. Because the creators of this play had their own illusions about Europe and America.

You are sacrificing yourself on the altar, and outsiders can do nothing about it.

It’s too late to build momentum now.

The reason why "The Promise" caused such a big stir was, on the one hand, because the public was heated about the "Mantou" incident.

On the other hand, at the industry level, many parties are forced into a corner.

Only Shen Santong can integrate the forces.

Lao Mouzi doesn't have as bad a temper as Kaizi Ge, nor does he have Kaizi Ge's sense of superiority.

When one reaches Zhang Yimou’s level, background is not very important, he himself is a mountain.

The key is to have the momentum of "I am the best".

If Zhang Yimou slams the table, there will definitely be some trouble.

His qualifications, awards and personal abilities far exceed those of Kaizi Ge, and he also has a lot of Olympic matters to deal with.

But Lao Mouzi is not that kind of person.

Moreover, even though the drama Curse of the Golden Flower failed, the failure overseas would not have much impact on him, and he would not be disgraced like Brother Kaizi.

Lao Mouzi is really talented.

Although Shen Santong said "give up the mentality of helping others and respect the fate of others", he was also angry at their lack of fighting spirit.

Costume blockbusters going overseas will still face death just like in the past.

Internal unity can still help.

Without internal unity, there can be no struggle.

Because the market is there, the rules are there, and the media is there.

When the rules are beneficial, you can use them.

When the rules are unfavorable, you can change the rules.

Even the right to interpret the rules and change the rules is in the hands of others.

If you are dissatisfied and protest, the media will portray this behavior as barbaric, find a flaw and bring down everything.

Moreover, the internal media will cooperate with external needs, preach and reflect on themselves.

Shen Santong first talked about Curse of the Golden Flower: "I think the producers need to act quickly. There are many tricks in overseas distribution. If it is released in a community that is not friendly to Chinese culture, it will be difficult to do well at the box office."

He still gave one last reminder, and he had done his best.

Of course, he will collect information from the screening communities and conduct polls when Curse of the Golden Flower is released overseas.

This is all evidence.

In future trade negotiations, if the United States calls for opening its film market again, we will throw this evidence in its face.

We import your best movies and schedule a lot of screenings for them, what about you?

At least in trade negotiations, movies won't be a weak point.

As for Wu Yusen's Red Cliff, Shen Santong praised it again: "Director Wu Yusen is different. He is an international director and has many connections in Hollywood."

"Moreover, his investor in Red Cliff, Mr. Wu Kebo, has deep connections in Benzi and can open up the Benzi film market."

“I personally think that Director Wu’s Red Cliff will show a different Three Kingdoms to the world.”

Hold.

Shen Santong is confident in his movie. As long as he shoots it normally, it will be a 100% success.

What he feared most was that Wu Yusen would withdraw from the show, run away, and cry and shout that he didn't want to collide with him.

This is what Shen Santong is most worried about.

If Wu Yusen cried, some leaders might try to mediate.

On the contrary, I advised him to look up to his fellow Hong Kong compatriots and give them some space.

This was very likely to happen, so Shen Santong started to brag and put Wu Yusen in a difficult position.

The reporter was very shocked.

I rely on.

Shen Santong has really changed his character.

Too gentle.

Some reporters couldn't help but nod their heads, expressing their admiration for Shen Santong's growth.

I have realized the gap between myself and international directors, and I need to learn from them.

Of course, they didn't dare say it out loud.

Because there are strict requirements for interviews today, some unfriendly media collected a deposit.

If you don't pay the deposit, you won't be allowed in. If you talk nonsense, your deposit will be confiscated.
