Chapter 368: "Happy Birthday 2" premiere, Yang Mi's experience, record-breaking copy! (23)

On December 12, the premiere of "Happy Birthday 18" was held.

Yang Mi shouted, "Shanshan, Xiaofei, Xuanzi, let's hurry up."

She had a role in "Happy Birthday 2" and got some tickets for the premiere, so she dragged her roommates to attend.

Tickets for the premiere of "Happy Birthday 2" can be bought by selling favors.

However, considering that Shen Santong had communicated with the four people in their dormitory during the casting of "Red Cliff".

Going together can evoke the senior's campus memories, which is a great favor. Yang Mi thought about it and decided not to do a small favor.

Yuan Shanshan exclaimed: "So many media, so many bigwigs, isn't that Chen Kexin, and Xu Ke, didn't they say that Director Shen and the Hong Kong Island director don't get along?"

Many big names and celebrities gathered.

There are not only people from the mainland, but also from Hong Kong Island, and there are many familiar faces.

Yang Mi also took a breath of cold air: "Don't talk nonsense, Director Shen has a good relationship with Hong Kong Island. You go in and find a seat, I will walk the red carpet later."

Yuan Shanshan and the other two looked at Yang Mi happily leaving and felt very envious.

My classmate became a movie star before he even graduated.

Yang Miliang appeared at the back and began to distribute business cards.

Try hard to build connections and become familiar to some directors and producers.

Shen Santong's network of contacts is top-notch film resources.

Rong Xinda, the company she works for, is out of reach, and no one pays attention to her when she mentions Rong Xinda.

But she mentioned that she had a role in "Happy Birthday 2" and appeared in Director Shen's movie and was Director Shen's junior, implying that they were related.

Some big names in the film industry are willing to chat with her.

Yang Mi didn't bother to argue with him. He just handed out business cards to make himself familiar with the people and left.

At the same time, they would prick up their ears and eavesdrop on all kinds of gossip.

Feng Xiaogang and his companion Xu Fan said: "This thief Sun has offended so many people, and yet he still has so many fans!"

Xu Fan said: "You should say less. It would be bad if others heard it."

Seeing Shen Santong coming over, Feng Xiaogang immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations on the big sale of your new film!"

Shen Sandong said: "We can take advantage of Director Feng's good fortune. Assembly is also selling very well, better than The Warlords. It's still our own story and stars that are attractive."

Feng Xiaogang could not help but complain: "You shouldn't have put so much effort into The Warlords, and let Chen Kesin have his own fun. Now it's still occupying the screening schedule. I only occupy six of the ten theaters, and he occupies four."

Shen Sandong said: "From this point of view, you should thank me. If I hadn't intervened, in order to make back the investment, Mr. Han would have occupied half of the ten theaters even if they were not popular."

Shen Santong tells the truth, the plot of The Warlords is pretty good.

The production costs are also under control, so the spending won't be too bad.

In his previous life, in order to make back his investment, Han Sanping tried his best, and his eating manners were not good enough.

There is a cost to eating badly, which is the consumption of one's own prestige.

It’s just that Han Sanping had no choice in his previous life.

"The Promise" had a bad reputation and Brother Kaizi was almost socially ruined.

Chen Kexin made a lot of money from watching "The Warlords", but left a big hole.

Han Sanping's blockbuster plan was on the verge of failure, the overseas revenue of his costume blockbusters was gone, and "Lust, Caution" was causing a third-level storm, so he had to go ahead with it despite gritted teeth.

Yang Mi was holding the glass of water slowly, pretending to chat, but he was surprised.

Feng Xiaogang was a cunning person behind people's backs, but congratulated her in public, which surprised her.

It turns out that the boss is so realistic and has such low quality in private.

Learned a lot.

Wang Zhongjun came over and said, "'Happy Birthday 2' set a record of copies, a big deal! But after it's released, the number of theaters showing 'Assembly' will be greatly reduced."

Shen Santong asked him to think from another angle: "When Birth of a New Life 2 was released, Assembly had only been sold for eight days and its box office potential had hit bottom. I made a comedy to bring audiences into the theaters. Assembly, The Warlords, and Birth of a New Life 2 were win-wins, win-wins, a win-win for all three."

Wang Zhongjun was speechless and could only say that Shen Santong was too confident. Not only did he not let him earn any favors, but he also made him owe him money.

Yang Mi took a sip of the water from time to time, listened to a few words and left without staying long.

Looking at Shen Santong chatting and laughing with various bigwigs, I was dazzled.

A grown woman should be like this.

He can take his place!
After Yang Mi and Qiao Shan finished their appearance, they asked the reporters the company had arranged to take a few photos with them and then headed backstage.

After chatting with her roommate for a while, she looked for a seat in the front row under her roommate's envious gaze.

After all, he is a character actor, in the first three rows!

Yang Mi walked and stopped, and when he saw Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan chatting, he couldn't help but slow down his pace and pricked up his ears again.

Xu Fan smiled and said, "I think you are quite good at attacking Wang Jiawei?"

After the release of "Assembly", Feng Xiaogang fired a series of shots, starting with "The Warlords".

It's awkward for Takeshi Kaneshiro to play a historical figure!

He also criticized King of Glasses's unreleased film "My Blueberry Nights", which was confirmed as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival before it was completed.

The movie is not finished and is not reliable.

Two consecutive shots quickly grabbed the front page headlines.

Feng Xiaogang is professional in this area.

Feng Xiaogang bared his teeth: "Wong Kar-wai is shit! He was a direct descendant of Cannes, it was okay before, but now the market is king, he is shit to me."

"Shen Santong is a thief. He has never failed since his debut. He understands young audiences. Happy Birthday 2 is not just a record-breaking copy. He has negotiated a - split with the cinema chain."

"This share is unique and is earned entirely by box office appeal, and it takes advantage of the profits of the theater chains. Even Zhang Yimou, who is so awesome, doesn't get this kind of treatment."

Yang Mi didn't stay long, as he learned a lot after listening to a few words.

Remember that the Sunglasses King is a direct descendant of Cannes and also gets a share of the profits from the theaters, which further explains how awesome Senior Shen is.

Information that was made public in later generations is now only known to certain circles.

Yang Mi found her position and her cell phone fell to the ground. She bent down to pick it up.

Just as I looked up, I saw the Wangs in the second row in front of me sitting down chatting and laughing.

Wang Zhonglei whispered, "If the show "Happy Birthday 2" is okay, why not start with Li Bingbing?"

"She wanted to get into Hollywood, and her ideas were not in line with Shen Santong's. The director and the main creators were not on good terms, and that was very damaging."

Yang Mi was shocked. She remembered that Huayi and Santong Entertainment had a good relationship?

It turns out that the bosses are not only of low quality, but also double-faced. When he saw Wang Zhongjun was about to turn his head, he immediately shrank his head and dragged himself to the ground.

I dared not make any sound.

Damn! So scary!
So exciting.

If we are discovered by the big and small kings, it is hard to say what the consequences will be.

Wang Zhongjun looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was around. He warned, "Don't talk about this kind of thing here. Forget it. Assembly has benefited from Soldiers Assault. Don't make it too ugly. Just compete normally."

"And I want to list on the Growth Enterprise Market, so I can let him guide Huayi on some projects."

It is too difficult to list on the main board, so Wang Zhongjun wants to list on the Growth Enterprise Market.

In July this year, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange said it was intensively preparing for the GEM, and in August, the vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission said that the GEM would be launched as soon as possible.

The Lunar New Year box office is the private territory of Huayi, and we cannot afford to lose it. Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and said, "We will continue to promote The Warlords. It has been on for more than ten days, and it is time to win it."

"The dirty laundry of Jet Li and Takeshi Kaneshiro has been spread out. Jet Li is not clean, Takeshi Kaneshiro is a real person, and Wu Yusen played Zhuge Liang in Red Cliff. Get it out first."

Yang Mi was trembling with fear.

Is this the world of the boss?
If you can't beat them, just be a coward. If you can beat them, suppress them madly.

He slowly crawled to the third row of entrances and pretended to make some noise.

Wang Zhongjun looked back.

Yang Mi seemed to be looking for a seat for the first time, and used all his life's learning to show his acting skills. When he saw Da Wang, he turned around and said in surprise: "Hello, Mr. Wang!"

Seeing Wang Zhonglei looking over again, he immediately said, "Hello, Mr. Wang!"

As soon as Wang Zhonglei saw Yang Mi's face, he didn't even want to talk to her and turned his head away immediately.

Wang Zhongjun couldn't remember Yang Mi, but he felt that the square face looked very familiar.

Yang Mi complained that she had forgotten the name card she had just given her, so she introduced herself again: "Yang Mi from Rong Xinda, Teacher Li is my mentor, I acted in Happy Birthday 2, and I am Director Shen's junior schoolmate."

Wang Zhongjun nodded slightly: "Li Xiaowan, not bad."

He just said one sentence and then turned around and stopped chatting with his brother about any deep topics.

Yang Mi wanted to explain that it was Teacher Li Shaohong, but forget it.

It was obvious that the two kings of Hua and Yi were unwilling to pay attention to her.

Shen Santong, Han Sanping and other leaders took a group photo together.

The premiere ceremony is coming to an end.

Shen Santong's play.

As usual, watch a movie first.

After the movie was over, the audience applauded.

Li Hong said: "The movie is really wonderful! I would like to welcome Director Shen Santong and the main creators. This movie is the first movie after Happy Birthday 1. Two years later, Director Shen is bringing a new movie to meet us."

"Director Shen, how do you feel about returning to theaters and the Lunar New Year holiday season?"

Shen Santong was: "Nervous, I hope that Happy Birthday 2 can be recognized by the audience."

"The reason why it took me two years to take on a new film is because the Red Cliff project was far more complicated than I imagined. Before I finished filming Red Cliff, it was difficult for me to devote my energy to it."

Shen Santong said whatever he wanted to say to the audience.

If he had the chance again, he might not necessarily choose the "Red Cliff" project.

After understanding "Wolf Warrior 2", "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" and "The Wandering Earth", capital is unwilling to invest in this because the cycle is really long.

It would be better to finish filming in two or three months, attract some traffic, and start a fan circle, making quick money by taking advantage of small investments.

Li Hong asked on behalf of the audience: "When will Red Cliff be released to all of us?"

Shen Santong smiled and said, "The special effects for the first film are basically finished, and the post-production should be finished in two or three months."

"The exact time depends on the film Red Cliff directed by Wu Yusen."

"At that time, I initiated the project first, and he wanted to shoot it. The subject matter overlapped, so logically we couldn't do it this way. I only agreed to it if we agreed to release it at the same time."

Li Hong was obviously surprised: "There is such an agreement?"

Shen Santong nodded: "Yes, then we will give the audience double satisfaction."

Buzz!
The audience and reporters were all shocked.

The Wangs, Wang Xiaowang, Chen Kexin and other industry insiders were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.

This is the real simultaneous collision!

It all depends on whose movie is tough enough!

At this point, Shen Santong no longer needs to pretend.

The main purpose is to prevent Wu Yusen from escaping and to make it public directly.

Whoever dares not to do so is a grandson.

Li Hong changed the topic to something more lighthearted: "The theme songs "Misplaced Time and Space" and "Mom and Dad" were also sung by Director Shen. Director Shen has quite a few songs now. Have you ever thought about holding a concert?"

"I think many of your fans, including your music fans, will support you."

The audience cheered and started to make a noise.

Shen Santong glanced at Li Hong subconsciously. This question was a bit sudden.

Apart from movies, he doesn't sing and rarely even appears in his own plays.

Li Hong smiled playfully: "There are a lot of discussions online, and everyone is very supportive."

Shen Santong said: "I won't pretend anymore. I am actually a studio singer. I am afraid that my live performance outside the studio will scare everyone."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Li Hong also took care of other main creators.

Li Bingbing, Huang Bo, Ma Yili, Xu Zheng, Fan Ming and others, as well as the newly joined Yang Mi and Qiao Shan were also mentioned.

When it came to the question-and-answer session, the questions were very sharp.

The producers did not restrict questions regarding "Lust, Caution".

A reporter asked: "Director Shen's Lust, Caution was forced to be withdrawn from theaters after one week of release. What do you think? The industry and the public are discussing censorship, and some people are proposing a rating system."

"What does Director Shen think about this?"

Shen Santong first responded to the rating issue: "I am against movie ratings!"
