New Age Artists

Chapter 300: Escape (23)

A sharp look flashed in the depths of Shen Santong's eyes.

He subconsciously glanced at Li Bingbing in his arms, and his eyes couldn't help but be scrutinizing.

He glanced at Li Yu standing beside him, who was secretly observing him.

Seeing Shen Santong looking at her, she quickly avoided his gaze.

Shen Santong wondered whether these two women had reached any promise with Wendi Deng.

For example, convince him to go to Hollywood and promise him a role in a big production.

It's not that he's overthinking it, some things are just fucked up.

Li Bingbing's sisters probably don't think they are betraying him, but rather helping him.

What a stroke of luck, the opportunity in Hollywood.

However, Shen Santong was very clear about his own importance.

There has never been a person like him in the past life.

A movie can sell for three to four weeks and can dominate a schedule.

With such box office dominance, it naturally looks down on other film and television companies.

Some people's understanding of influence is too one-sided.

Feng Xiaogang only produces one film a year, and if he makes a blockbuster, he makes one every two years.

The movie can only be said to be a box office hit, but it is far from the dominance of Shen Santong, who is already the big daddy of Huayi.

During the filming of "Assembly", Chen Shu joined the crew for several days, but Feng Xiaogang replaced him with just one sentence.

Chen Shuo is an artist under Huayi and was appointed by the investor, so what?
Shen Santong has far more box office appeal than Feng Xiaogang.

He can crush all directors from the mainland to Hong Kong Island head-on.

Although he has never done anything intentionally to anyone, as long as he has the ability, he can make the rules himself.

What's more, Shen Santong has never been an easy person to talk to and has done too many things.

After working with the outward-looking media, the two diss songs are still on the annual charts for many years.

He personally concocted the counterattack of "The Promise" and fought for the North American distribution of "The Promise" and the overseas interests of "The Banquet".

Shen Santong never looks down on himself.

He has two identities, the first is a businessman, the second is a director.

As a businessman, he is a domestic entertainment giant, the CEO of Santong Entertainment, and the leader of the film and television industry.

As a director, he is the light of domestic films and symbolizes the commercial achievements of domestic films.

To be precise, he has a third identity, a CPPCC member from the cultural and arts circles. His influence is so great that he was given the invitation, but this identity is not the focus.

But to Hollywood, Shen Santong is an eyesore and a roadblock.

After Curse of the Golden Flower, costume blockbusters lost their most important overseas revenue.

The ancient costume blockbuster with Chinese skin and Western bones is dead, and this road to commercial movies has been cut off.

According to Hollywood's plan, the development of Chinese commercial films will be delayed by at least two or three years, and it is necessary to readjust the pace and explore new paths.

Shen Santong knew that Li An's "Lust, Caution" was ready.

At this year's Venice Film Festival in August, if nothing unexpected happens, "Lust, Caution" will be the biggest winner.

Hollywood will definitely support Lust, Caution and make it a huge profit overseas.

Some domestic outward-facing media should have also received instructions.

It would be great if Chinese commercial films could be guided towards marginal, dark, pornographic and violent themes.

However, Shen Santong suddenly appeared and succeeded with a low cost. Not only did he succeed himself, but he also brought out Ning Hao.

Now that low-budget comedies have worked, we’re going to make historical blockbusters.

It cannot be said that Hollywood's plot failed to meet expectations, but it also failed in the womb.

Shen Santong doesn't think Hollywood is stupid and will remain indifferent.

The world is dynamic.

The profits from the film market with a population of 1.3 billion are too huge, so they definitely want to get it.

There have been many attempts. Shen Santong has received some projects and met some strange people.

It’s just that he is a bit secretive, often followed by bodyguards, and doesn’t brag to strangers.

He doesn't care how much the exaggeration is, he just wants it official in black and white.

It doesn't matter to the civilians, as they are followed by at least one squad of security guards.

If you don't agree, just fight. I'm not afraid of anyone.

I have no interests overseas and no interest in doing overseas projects.

Shen Santong put himself in his shoes and thought about it.

If he were an American ideological operator responsible for changing Tokyo, or if Hollywood wanted to swallow up the interests of Tokyo's film market, he would also be desperate.

It's smelly and hard, and I can't touch it.

Then, the other party will definitely start with those who can get close to him and infiltrate him.

The personal grudges with Murdoch are trivial matters. The University of Tokyo itself wants to expel foreign investment in the media.

He got into trouble with some outward-facing media, just going with the flow.

The competition for the Dongda market is the real big deal.

Hollywood professional managers are more prominent than many stars and directors in the Tokyo Institute of Technology. This is a huge struggle for interests.

They may not know as well as Shen Santong how exaggerated the future Dongda market will be, but conservative estimates are that it is worth billions of dollars in ticket warehouses, and the derivative market is worth tens of billions of dollars.

In the United States, it is normal for a few people to die in a business of this size.

But Shen Santong stayed in Dongda University and no matter how powerful the Hollywood media giants were, they couldn’t do anything to him.

There is indeed a powerful country behind him.

If he is defeated in normal business competition and has to accept defeat, but if he uses abnormal means, or targets a person with great cultural influence, he will inevitably be met with a reciprocal counterattack.

The most amazing thing about the Todai system is that once something is written down in a notebook, it will be dealt with and will not be affected by personal will.

But now that Shen Santong has gone to Hollywood and the United States, it’s no use no matter how awesome he is.

If we say that the United States’s attack on the male characteristics of the University of Tokyo is 1.

For example, trying to destroy Liu Xiang.

After Liu Xiang won the championship in 04, a leader ordered that no one was allowed to get close to Liu Xiang.

He also transferred away the team that he had previously worked well with.

On the surface, it claimed that the purpose was to allow Liu Xiang to concentrate on preparing for the competition, but in reality it was to isolate and suppress him.

As for why, it’s the same reason as Sun Yang.

Yuan Haoran does not only exist in later generations. It can be said that later generations have become much better.

At this moment, the grains and warehouses are full, and there are too many Yuan Haorans.

Liu Xiang was originally a cheerful person, but four years later when he was at the doorstep of his home, his personality became a little gloomy and silent.

The injuries were also caused by the team's downgrade and lack of medical support.

This is still happening in the country. If it were in Hollywood, the intensity would soar ten or a hundred times.

There is no need for any shady means; they just carry out systematic persecution openly and honestly.

Intentionally, directly, and clearly, they suppress Chinese men in the United States and leave loopholes for women.

The result is that women become extroverted.

In the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, many domestic professors took their wives with them when they went on exchanges and did not return.

After a few years, my wife would rather be with white trash or black people than with her original partner.

In later generations, even the so-called IT elites working in Silicon Valley.

The selection of spouses is pitifully limited, and I need to find a wife in China.

Moreover, if you bring people from China over there, it will be easy for women to kick out Chinese men in the intentionally created systemic discrimination environment.

If Shen Santong is depressed and goes to Hollywood to develop his career, there are too many ways to control him.

Therefore, he has to consider whether the relationship between Li Bingbing and sister and Wendi Deng has reached that stage and whether they have reached an agreement.

Li Yu felt that he was in trouble and explained: "Wendi Deng was just a suggestion. We didn't even plan to mention it to you."

Shen Santong stood up, put on his pants, and ran away, saying perfunctorily: "There are some things at the company. Ning Hao's new play is about to be released, and I need to take care of it."

Li Yu looked at the time and it was already past one o'clock. He pulled him and said, "Don't go. Let's talk. My sister hasn't decided whether to go or not."

She looked at Li Bingbing and said, "Sister, just say something. You are not going to Hollywood."

Li Bingbing was very unhappy: "Is it really that serious? Why are you so defensive? Besides, what's wrong with me going to Hollywood to develop my career?"

"Because of you, some big-name brands and foreign productions that were considering me for endorsements have doubts about me because you hate them so much."

"You were having an affair with Fan Bingbing. Do you think we don't know that you have other women outside? Have you ever thought about my efforts?"

Shen Santong opened the door and left.

As for persuading Li Bingbing and her sister, or communicating, it's useless.

Women are different from men. Women admire the strong and obey the rules.

Moreover, women tend to be idealistic and subjective.

Shen Santong is certainly strong, but compared with Hollywood, he doesn’t think he is the stronger one in Li Bingbing’s heart.

In his previous life, Li Bingbing played the role in "Resident Evil" where a white man touched his thigh.

Not to mention women, some men are like this too.

Zhou Runfa gave up the role of a hero and chose to play a pirate.

A pirate with the image of the Mandarin.

Even later on, some domestic stars were eager to play supporting roles in Hollywood productions.

Liang Chaowei is very excited to perform in "Shang-Chi".

Shen Santong looked down on these things, but some people just had ideological stamps in their heads.

Once Li Bingbing determined that Shen Santong was weaker than Hollywood, many things would become different.

Shen Santong kindly told her that the domestic market would be huge in the future, so if she stayed there well, she would have no worries about becoming rich.

Li Bingbing would not believe it, but would think that Shen Santong was deceiving her.

Hindering her from having better development opportunities and preventing her from moving to a bigger stage.

The West is very good at this trick, blocking the way for men but leaving a door for women.

Many couples who were happy in China ended up like this when they arrived in the United States.

Shen Santong was too lazy to do the exercises because there were endless questions to do.

Let’s talk after running away.
