Chapter 370: Dominating the front page! Fun guy Wu Kebo! Whoever runs away is a grandson! (13)

12 month 19 day.

"Double 'Red Cliff' Release Date Collision"

"Oppose grading and exploration of the third-tier market"

Shen Santong blasts Li An for seeking fame and reputation

"Not based on Western standards, Shen Santong said"

"Angry young man Shen Santong sings praises to the system"

"A crappy third-rate singer, hyping himself up again"

"Art's Outcast, Jealous Young Director"

"The India I know is far better than the University of Tokyo"

Wake up.

The front page of entertainment gossip and movie information is all related to Shen Santong.

To be precise, the premiere has not yet ended, but related comments have already made the front pages of major websites.

There are many website owners and executives who are dissatisfied with Shen Santong's stance.

But Shen Santong controls Dongtian Network and has his own channels.

If you don't publish breaking news, your competitors will, which will damage your own traffic.

The same is true for print media layouts.

After several years of development, Shen Santong has gained certain channels for expressing his views.

Compared with the mainstream media with a loud voice, there is a big gap, but it is enough to make the voice heard.

Once published in the newspaper, all the products are sold out!

I've never seen anyone directly scold Li An.

Oscar Best Director, Venice Best Director, Bend Island Fellow
Every brand is a talisman.

Even now, most people have opinions, but no prominent figures have publicly criticized it.

Shen Santong did not make any personal attacks, did not use the word "traitor", and did not exaggerate. He just said what he meant.

More aggressive.

Shock!

Dumbfounded!

Everyone was shocked!

I don’t know what to say about the producers of “The Warlords” and “Assembly”.

"Happy Birthday 2" has not yet been released, but its popularity has already reached its peak.

Feng Xiaogang held up a newspaper and cursed: "Sun thief! What a hype!"

He thought the nickname Little Cannon should be given to Shen Santong.

As for Li An?

Make no response.

After "Lust, Caution" was forced to be withdrawn from theaters, Li An flew to the United States and pretended to be dead.

Of course, what shocked the industry the most was the conflicting release dates of the two versions of "Red Cliff".

This piece of news seemed insignificant amidst Shen Santong's attack on Li An.

But this is the cruelest thing.

Shen Santong is inviting a fight!
The most unbelievable, unacceptable, and almost heart-breaking thing was Wu Kebo.

Wu Kebo yelled, "Wu Yusen, you idiot!"

Even though Wu Kebo had experienced many ups and downs, he was already lying down.

For a moment, it was like a raging fire burning my heart.

The secretary quickly gave Wu Kebo medicine and then gave him oxygen.

A rehabilitation doctor was called in, and after half an hour of relief, he finally felt better.

Wu Kebo's body, which had been able to move normally after recuperation, was now trembling all over.

He instructed his secretary word by word, "Call that loser Wu Yusen. I want him to explain this matter to me clearly."

He had to find out whether it was true or not.

I also felt resentment towards Han Sanping, but I never mentioned this matter to him.

Benzi and the US-UK consortium finally decided to acquire Jiahe, matching Shen Santong's offer.

It’s simple. In the entertainment industry, face is the inside and the inside is the face.

As the former overlord of the film industry, the brand of Jiahe is its greatest value.

What's more, Shen Santong made the public acquisition first.

If Chengtian can be defeated, Shen Santong will be defeated.

With a wave of hype, it is not difficult to increase the valuation several times.

However, these investors are not fools.

It is not possible to just do whatever Wu Kebo says, and it is also impossible to just give whatever Zou Wenhuai says.

The acquisition will not officially start until the first part of "Red Cliff" is released next year.

Using box office revenue to stimulate stock prices and multiple hypes, the film's investors worked hard to help "Red Cliff" be released in the film.

Then use marketing to step on Shen Santong and promote Chengtian.

Spend more on marketing, with the influence of Benzi in Dongda media, combined with Jiahe's brand with Hong Kong and international characteristics, Chengtian Jiahe can easily surpass Shen Santong in the media.

By that time, Jiahe’s stock price would have at least tripled or quadrupled, and by increasing its valuation through the stock market and using mortgage loans, the acquisition cost could be greatly reduced.

The plan is wonderful.

The problem is coming.

The two "Red Cliffs" will be released at the same time.

This is much more exaggerated than a football derby.

The media praised Wu Yusen as a great man, while Shen Santong was worthless. Wu Kebo must have understood what was going on, as he even signed and paid for some of the press releases.

In fact, Shen Santong can use domestic films to compete with Hollywood films, and even defeat them.

Wu Yusen was eliminated by Hollywood.

Wu Yusen is much better than the average director in making commercial films, but Wu Kebo has no confidence that he can surpass Shen Santong.

The media can brag as much as they want, they don’t have to work too hard, and they get all kinds of kickbacks.

If he, who is in charge of the company, believed it, it would be the end of him.

Beep!
Wu Kebo was disappointed when he couldn't get through to Wu Yusen on the phone.

After changing his mind, he became happy again.

Fortunately, I made a lot of money.

As long as he still has influence in the University of Tokyo, even if I know he is cheating people out of money, I have to endure it.

"Great! I'm so smart. I realized that the water here is deep. I won't play here anymore. I have learned from the past!"

Happy!

He has to be happy. Wu Kebo doesn't want to die.

If you get any more angry, you’re going to die.

I can only be happy!

Wu Kebo didn't care and went to do rehabilitation training.

Let Benzi go and fight with Wu Yusen, the Wandao guy.

Wu Yusen and the crew of "Red Cliff".

Hu Jun chatted with Hou Yong, who played Lu Su, and asked, "Will it work if Director Shen's Red Cliff and Director Wu's Red Cliff are released at the same time?"

Hou Yong speculated: "It depends on the attitude of the theaters. It would be a big loss to release such a blockbuster together."

Hu Jun said: "If Director Shen is determined and the theaters grit their teeth and release it, one of his movies can be released during the Lunar New Year holiday."

Zhang Fengyi smiled and said, "It depends on Director Wu's attitude. Director Shen has already invited him to the fight. If he is willing, he can go. If he is not willing, there will be no collision."

Hu Jun seemed to be thinking about something. Hou Yong asked curiously, "Director Wu is very good, but when it comes to commercial films, Director Shen still has more say in the domestic film industry, right?"

Zhang Fengyi shook his head and laughed: "Look what year it is this year, the tenth anniversary, and there will be the Olympics next year. What's a movie? If Wu Yusen doesn't want to be on the show, he must avoid it."

Hu Jun asked in a low voice: "Teacher Zhang, I feel that you have no confidence in Director Wu Yusen. It seems that you have tacitly accepted that he will hide?"

Zhang Fengyi raised his eyebrows, looked around and saw no one, but didn't say much, just nodded: "It depends on the role arrangement. Director Shen asked Zhang Shan to play Zhang Fei, and Director Wu's version of Zang Jinsheng played it. I don't have any opinions on the actors, but it's a matter of adaptation."

As the actor who played Cao Cao in Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", Zhang Fengyi is quite interested in Shen Santong's "Red Cliff".

It’s hard to find out his specific role, but Shen Santong often sends some information about project progress.

Combined with the news in the industry, Zhang Fengyi is not optimistic about Wu Yusen's version of "Red Cliff".

What really made him feel that Wu Yusen was not as good as Shen Santong was not the role arrangement but the chaotic management.

Shen Santong's crew is well organized, and even the extras can eat on time.

I have never seen people drinking or playing cards in groups. The salary is high and the time is tight.

Wu Yusen's crew was the complete opposite, it was chaotic from the very beginning.

Chow Yun-fat quit the role of Zhou Yu and Liang Chaowei was brought in. There were so many Mandarin dialogues in "Red Cliff" that there was no time to prepare, so they had to use dubbing, and the problem was that the lip movements couldn't match.

Although almost the entire Internet was against the idea of ​​Takeshi Kaneshiro playing Zhuge Liang, Wu Yusen still insisted on using him.

After filming started, something happened every month, with natural disasters and man-made calamities occurring constantly.

At the end of last month, on November 11, Wu Yusen announced that the filming of "Red Cliff" had been completed, but in fact it was not completed.

Because of the insurance provided by the US insurance company, we had to announce the completion of the filming when the deadline came.

The American investors who joined later also stopped investing in the crew.

The investment in this project continues to increase, reaching 90 million US dollars, more than 600 million RMB.

The American investors withdrew their investment, and the crew was left with no money in their account.

Wu Yusen claimed that he paid one million US dollars out of his own pocket to continue filming.

Zhang Fengyi sincerely hoped that Wu Yusen was greedy, and that he couldn't even manage the crew's budget.

The contracts of main actors Liang Chaowei, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Lin Chi-lin and Zhang Zhen were signed until the insurance expired.

At the end of last month, after the contract expired, he just threw up his hands and left.

As his contract was about to expire, Takeshi Kaneshiro kept urging Wu Yusen to finish filming his role as Zhuge Liang. As the contract was about to expire, he refused to stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Wu Yusen gave the Japanese a Zhuge Liang, but they didn't care.

Only actors and staff from the mainland have persisted until now.

Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" has not yet been completed.

Shen Santong’s post-production is almost finished, but I heard that it is still in the pre-production stage, and the cycle is very long.

The media is making a fuss, Hong Kong film fans are praising it, and as an insider in the industry, Zhang Fengyi really doesn't know how to fight it.

Just in terms of crew management, the gap is too big.

Unless an extremely low probability event occurs, it is difficult for Shen Santong to lose.

If he can't win, based on his understanding of Hong Kong directors, he will most likely be shameless.

Shanghai.

Shen Santong was promoting "Happy Birthday 2" and said to Yang Tianzhen who was following him, "I'll give you a task. Go chase Wu Yusen and beat him up!"

"I want you to mobilize your navy, mobilize all your strength, show me your yin and yang, and spread out your forces. Whoever retreats will be a grandson!"

"This is a big test for you. You have experienced the promotion of two top artists, Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing. If you do well, you will be a media director."

Shen Santong got angry and said, "Fuck him."

He is no longer passive, he just moves forward, striding forward.

Wu Yusen faced the opponent and defeated him directly.

If Wu Yusen runs away, he will be a grandson and a loser.
