New Age Artists

Chapter 304: Sharpening the Knife Xiang Jiahe (33)

Shen Santong hasn't watched this version of "The Warlords" yet, but judging from Han Sanping's words, it is definitely not the same as in his previous life.

If it is filmed according to the real The Warlords, the box office will be good.

Just like Ning Hao's stones and racing cars, it will be difficult for Ning Hao to make such a movie after this.

When faced with the stone, Ning Hao had no way out.

He is not a direct descendant of Lao Deng in art films, nor is he a true disciple of Lao Deng.

It seems like a long time before you can get funding or win awards.

There is no other choice but to dive into commercial films.

The success of Shi Tou's first film was not considered a success, and it took two consecutive films to secure his position.

Coupled with the controversy caused by the stone, the drama "Racing" was still made with great effort.

It doesn’t mean that Ning Hao will not work hard in the future, but at this moment, he has a sense of crisis and insecurity.

If "Racing" was finished, he would fall back to the situation before the stone in his previous life.

People would think that he was just lucky and that he could succeed by copying foreign films.

If it were today, Shi Tou’s success would be attributed to Shen Santong and plagiarism.

Ning Hao will still return to his original situation.

After "The Race", he made two consecutive successful films and no longer felt a sense of survival crisis in the industry.

Then there was the big job of "No Man's Land".

On the one hand, he wants artistic status.

After filming the commercial film, the academic community kept complaining about him being a bad student.

On the other hand, he no longer had a sense of crisis and worries in life, so he just enjoyed himself.

After being squeezed by Shen Santong, Chen Kexin's situation was much worse than in his previous life.

Chen Kexin has no foresight and does not know that there will be a large amount of money to be washed away next year.

For Chen Kexin, it's either a one-time bonanza or a quick buck.

Get enough money for retirement.

Or you have to make a good show of it, make a move north and establish yourself in the industry.

Because of Shen Santong, it was difficult to make money, so he had no choice but to fight to the death and shoot well.

Shen Santong can only block it for a while at most.

Starting next year, not only will funds be used to wash rice, but other funds will also come in.

Even money from coal bosses has been pouring in.

Some money is dirty and wants to take a bath or run away.

With the rise of mainland capital, the film and television industry is not short of money.

Chen Kexin still eats money.

This is the way the times are. People outside are eyeing us covetously, but things aren't going well inside either.

That’s why it will be awesome five years later.

That’s what really changed everything.

Premiere.

Shen Santong still invited Li Hong to host the event.

He appreciates the other person more, an appreciation without any desire.

Li Hong said: "Dear audience, let's watch the movie first,"

It seems to have become a habit.

The premiere of the Locomotive Film Company was simple and straightforward, the movie spoke for itself.

Shen Santong watched "The Racer" again and still enjoyed it very much.

That's the charm of a good movie.

Huang Bo plays the cyclist Geng Hao, who only won the silver medal in a competition with a difference of 0.01 seconds.

Ferrari Group manager Li Farah used the time between races to have Geng Hao shoot a commercial in which he drank the product.

A urine test later turned out to be positive, Geng Hao was banned for life, and Li Fala disappeared.

Geng Hao's master was so angry that he suffered a cerebral thrombosis, resulting in paralysis of his lower body.

A few years later, Geng Hao started a seafood delivery business to support his master.

Li Fala made a comeback and an advertisement for sponsoring a bicycle race was broadcast on TV. His master saw it and stood up in anger and fell to his death.

After asking about the price of the cemetery, Geng Hao found that he did not have enough cash, so he placed his master's ashes in a temple in the suburbs of the city for worship.

And decided to ask Li Fala for money.

In the cinema.

There was no sound at first, and there were too many lines.

As the story progressed, the audience began to react. When the killer Chachai froze into a popsicle, the whole audience burst into laughter for the first time.

As the plot progressed, the laughter started to increase.

Especially when it comes to the Wandao gangster Dong Ge, he mistakenly thinks that Geng Hao is a gangster robbing his gang, and there are various interpretations, which are hilarious.

When Geng Hao, who was receiving his master's ashes, saw Dong Ge, he thought it was the funeral home's 18-person farewell service.

Dong Ge thought that Geng Hao was the target of a gang of thieves and was trying to trade drugs.

When watching the famous cross-server chat scenes, I couldn't stop laughing.

Geng Hao thought Dong Ge was a fake gangster played by the funeral home: "Why are you here so early?"

Dong Ge thought Geng Hao was a member of a local gang that was robbing other gangs: "The early bird catches the worm."

Eighteen people are sending each other off, pretending to be gangsters. Geng Hao is not satisfied with the number of people in Dong Ge: "Isn't this a gangster? There are only a few of them?"

Combined with the killer who froze to death, Dong Ge was stunned by Geng Hao's words: "Time is short, it's easier to get things done with fewer people. I'll do business with anyone, I hope big brother will take care of me."

Geng Hao was asking about ghost money, but Dong Ge understood it as transaction money: "What a mess, have all the things arrived? Have you brought the money?"

When Brother Dong was about to open the urn to inspect the contents, Geng Hao became unhappy.

It is offensive to move a dead person's urn.

As for Dong Ge, he believed that since Geng Hao did not count the money, he would not inspect the goods and would abide by the industry rules.

The deal was done and the theater burst into laughter.

Absolutely amazing.

After getting in the taxi, Brother Dong asked his younger brother to inspect the goods.

boom!
When the little brother ate the ashes, the whole audience exploded.

Shen Santong also enjoyed himself. Watching a movie in the cinema had a good atmosphere and boosted the mood.

When Ning Hao, who played the guest role of the driver, burst into laughter, the whole audience burst into laughter again.

"Every country has its own laws, every industry has its own rules. The local gangs are so rude!"

After watching the movie, Chen Kexin had to admit that it was a good one.

Judging from the audience’s reaction, this film will be successful again.

The movie ends.

Host Li Hong: "Welcome to our main creators. From everyone's applause, I can see that everyone is very satisfied with the movie."

When asked about his role in the play, Shen Santong said: "I am just an investor and producer in this play. The film producer Ning Hao took care of everything."

"I think this play is enough to illustrate Ning Hao's talent as a director. It can even be said that a new comedy genre, Ning-style comedy, was born."

"Please give domestic films a minimum level of understanding and patience. Multi-line narrative is just a narrative structure and narrative method."

"If foreigners make a movie, it's good. If we make a movie ourselves, it's plagiarism. This is not okay, that is not okay. I think this attitude is wrong."

"I'll just say a few words. Please give your attention and applause to our director Ning Hao."

Ning Hao wants to prove himself thoroughly.

Shen Santong was also happy to give him the limelight.

However, Shen Santong's status is here. After going around in circles, there are still many questions for him during the reporter's question session.

Shen Santong answered a question about Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff".

The film was seriously over budget and took too long to shoot.

As a result, photographer Lu Le's contract expired and he had to leave the crew.

Shen Santong said: "Director Wu Yusen is a very good director. Red Cliff is a big drama, so we can't rush it."

"I recently watched Hong Kong movies, including Director Wu's A Better Tomorrow, which is a classic. Of course, I prefer kung fu movies, and many classics are produced by Jiahe."

"Hong Kong films are a category of our domestic films. Hong Kong Island and we are one family."

"I saw many netizens say that this year's Lunar New Year blockbuster is the best one yet. Directors from Hong Kong and mainland China gathered together, which is a manifestation of the prosperity of our culture."

"I believe that the mainland market will give new life to Hong Kong films, which were in decline in 93 due to the boycott by Taiwanese film producers."

"A good company like Jiahe will regain its glory."

The strong wield their sword against the stronger.

After what happened with the Ice and Snow Legend, Shen Santong's blood began to boil and he became more proactive.

He was no longer willing to wait for opportunities.

Why wait?

Hong Kong has regulations on circulating shares, and Jiahe’s circulating shares are more than 25%.

If Zou Wenhuai doesn't sell it to him, Shen Santong can't buy it, and he can also prevent Chengtian from buying it.

It dragged on for a year or so, until the financial crisis, and he was the only buyer left.

Even if we take a step back, he can still make a lot of money.

Just like the release date of the film, Jiahe will do it first and Wu Kebo can do whatever he wants.
