Chapter 417 Two "Red Cliffs" collide! (33)

6 month 26 day.

Wu Yusen's version of "Red Cliff" was the first to hold its world premiere.

The premiere has been moved up.

The original announcement date was June 6, one day earlier than Shen Santong.

However, in early June, Wu's version of "Red Cliff" was embroiled in another scandal.

A fire broke out during the filming of the ship collision scene, resulting in one death and seven injuries. Wu Yusen was promoting the first part of "Red Cliff" in Hong Kong.

Netizens directed their criticism at director John Woo.

"Ship collision" is an important scene in the film, but Wu Yusen, the director, was absent during the shooting of the important scene.

Even if nothing goes wrong, the quality of the camera shooting will affect the quality of the film.

Wu Yusen left the crew to do publicity, and an accident happened. Naturally, many people asked him to take responsibility.

Moreover, Wu's version of Red Cliff had too many accidents. Since the filming started last year, the lead actor quit, the photographer left the crew after the contract expired, and the budget went over budget.
Various accidents happen constantly.

After the casualties occurred, the situation in which Wu's version of "Red Cliff" was overshadowing Shen's version of "Red Cliff" was suddenly reversed.

Before May.

With the release dates of the two "Red Cliff" films being scheduled one after another, the tension in the publicity and promotion has further increased.

A publicity war between the two sides began.

Shen Santong's version of "Red Cliff" launched a character promotional video and pure music promotional songs "Shuilongyin" and "Zui Taiping".

Tong Liya and Wang Zhi’s solo promotional videos are about to be released.

A large-scale pornographic rumor about the two of them appeared.

Shen Santong asked Yang Tianzhen to dig up the dirty laundry of Lin Zhilin and Zhatian.

It's easy to guess that the rumor about Tong Liya and Wang Zhihuang was spread by the producer of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", and some channels such as Benzi and Wandao fanned the flames.

Benzi Capital is the largest investor in "Red Cliff", accounting for half.

Needless to say, Wandao had long wanted to hack into Shen Santong.

At first glance, it's obvious that he's judging others by his own standards.

Just use this to imagine how Lin Chi-lin got the role, Tong Liya and Wang Zhi.

They install backdoors in cars and mobile phones, and then spread rumors to discredit Tokyo University, which does the same thing.

They are capable of such evil things as installing explosives in pagers.

Needless to say, there are a lot of dark materials about Zhatian.

The more negative information about Lin Chi-lin is uncovered, the more there is.

In particular, Shen Santong instructed to fish in some forums on Wandao Island.

When Hong Kong and Taiwan stars come to the mainland, they all pretend to be pure, but back home they are more wild than each other.

It was only after the earthquake in May that Shen Santong took the initiative to lower his tone.

The tension suddenly subsided.

Being in a passive situation.

This is the same as the snow disaster. Wu Yusen can handle it, but Shen Santong cannot.

In the face of national crisis, the two films competed for headlines, but instead of attracting audiences, they pushed them away.

After the earthquake.

The book immediately sent people to gather intelligence and break into some sensitive areas.

At the same time, Asan deployed two divisions.

The behavior is almost exactly the same as in early 20.

The outside forces have long been coveting the University of Tokyo.

Shen Santong no longer responded tit-for-tat, and the film's promotion and publicity were quite standard.

It emphasizes that it is a historical blockbuster, different from previous costume blockbusters.

Some even helped Wu Yusen to spread the word, promoting how great Wu's version of "Red Cliff" was.

Learn from Kaizi Ge’s super-large-scale promotion of “The Promise”.

All kinds of praise, masterpieces, blockbusters of the century, historical miracles, once-in-a-century works.
All kinds of compliments are given to Wu's version of "Red Cliff" for free.

So the result after May was that Shen Santong was losing step by step while Wu Yusen was making great progress.

The situation did not begin to turn around until June 6, when Wu Yusen's crew encountered an accident.

And it was obvious that the stunt team had "taken too much advantage" and failed to take various safety measures.

Let’s look at Shen Santong.

On June 6, attended the first commercially operated China Giant Screen Cinema in Hefei.

In the previous life, in 11, the first generation of giant screen system was born.

It took 12 years before the first commercial giant-screen cinema was put into operation.

Shen Santong brought this forward by four years.

The giant screen projection system was jointly developed by Santong Entertainment Group, China Film Science and Technology Research Institute, China Film Co., Ltd. and related scientific research institutions in the form of "industry, academia, research and application".

To become a leader in the industry, or to achieve a certain level of business, one must interact with the government and various institutions of higher learning.

Shen Santong does not reject interaction; rather, he welcomes it.

The theoretical technology of giant screen is not complicated; the key lies in its commercial application.

In the past, it was not until "Avatar" led to the upgrade of theaters around the world that related technologies were put into commercial use.

Comparing the two, one crew had an accident while the other promoted the progress of the industry, the difference is obvious.

6 month 18 day.

Following the promotional songs such as "Shui Long Yin", "Zui Taiping" and "Guan Shan Yue", Shen Santong released the final trailer of "Red Cliff" with the soundtrack of "Xiang Wang Xing".

The producers of Wu's version of "Red Cliff" could no longer sit still.

The premiere was announced to be held in advance, and the premiere was used to build momentum for the film.

The world premiere ceremony of the Wu version was held at the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu.

Wu's version of "Red Cliff" was also the first blockbuster to hold its premiere in Chengdu after the earthquake.

Shen Santong did not attend.

This is a premiere to build momentum, using the moral high ground to make it impossible for people to question it.

This was the same operation in my previous life.

Of course, Shen Santong watched the relevant broadcast first.

Takeshi Kaneshiro did not attend the Chengdu premiere.

The actor in this book plays Wu Hou, and going there would be a provocation.

As the most eye-catching male lead, Liang Chaowei was arranged to be the last to appear on stage, accompanied by two beauties, Lin Chi-lin and Zhatian.

He joked with the host, saying something hilarious: I play a very complicated Zhou Yu, who has to fall in love and fight at the same time, that's romantic! Shen Santong also laughed.

I guess those who hadn't seen the movie thought Liang Chaowei was joking.

It’s actually true.

There’s more to come.

Zhe Tian, ​​who had worked with Liang Chaowei before in "The Unparalleled", joked with him and described Liang Chaowei's handsomeness as "the same handsomeness as ever after ten years."

After being praised, Liang Chaowei said frankly: "It's so cool!"

Shen Santong felt that Liang Chaowei might have had a polite exchange with Zhatian.

Zhatian’s speech is also very powerful.

She said that she originally wanted to play the role of Xiao Qiao, but ended up playing the role of Sun Shangxiang.

He has a bold and direct personality, dares to think and act, and has a very manly style.

Zhetian said: This character can prove that women had a very high status thousands of years ago.

Shen Santong was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Red Cliff only happened 1,800 years ago, and what is the connection between this character and the high status of women thousands of years ago?
Maybe they took Wu Yusen's film as factual evidence.

Wu Yusen is also very interesting.

A reporter from Nanchong excitedly asked Wu Yusen, "Have you read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

John Woo smiled and replied.

Then the reporter asked, do you know who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

Wu Yusen was suddenly stuck and after asking Zhang Fengyi beside him, he said it was Chen Shou.

Then the reporter continued to ask him if he knew where Chen Shou was from?

Of course Wu Yusen couldn't answer it.

Then the reporter said that he was from Nanchong and that was where he came from, and he welcomed Wu Yusen on behalf of the people of Nanchong.

how to say?

It's outrageous.

Wu Yusen didn’t know Chen Shou, which was similar to adapting the original work without knowing who the original author was.

"Red Cliff" was a big production with a budget of over 600 million yuan. No one knew who Chen Shou was, so it was conceivable that Director Wu did not do any homework at all.

After learning about the premiere of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", Shen Santong finally let go of his worries.

I didn't expect it to happen, and that's actually the case.

Not much different from the previous life, it's a parody of "Red Cliff".

Of course, compared to the previous life, there is less fun.

In his previous life, Han Sanping made a slip of the tongue.

At the media launch of Red Cliff held at Chengdu Hotel, Han Sanping said frankly that he is an absolute fan of the Three Kingdoms.

Afterwards, Han Sanping said something that surprised everyone: "China Film Group will rely on the strength of the national cinema chains and cinemas to distribute The Promise well."

After the slip of the tongue, Han Sanping changed the subject and said with a smile: This drama was shot with great difficulty, and the director and actors know best the ups and downs involved. The best way for us to repay them is to release "Red Cliff" well.

It’s hard to say whether Han Sanping did it on purpose or by accident.

In terms of film projects, Kaizi Ge's "The Promise" is much less troublesome than "The Warlords" and "Red Cliff".

Even if it wasn't intentional, it was probably because she missed Brother Kaizi.

It is also possible that one can sense that something is not right in “The Promise” and feel something is wrong.

"The Promise" was released during the Lunar New Year holiday in 05. Two and a half years have passed, and the popularity has faded, and so much time has passed.

I can still blurt it out. As the saying goes, if there is a response, it must be something you keep thinking about. I have mentioned it recently.

6 month 30 day.

Wu's version of "Red Cliff" held its premiere in BJ, and Shen Santong was a little surprised.

Wu Yusen didn't invite him.

When we made the call two months ago, we publicly invited him, but we did not invite him privately.

Shen Santong would not go without an invitation.

He won't go, and neither will those under Deep Sea Culture.

The Chinese and foreigners will not go there either.

Cheng Tian invested heavily in Wu's version of "Red Cliff". In 05, Wang Jinghua led a group of people to join Cheng Tian, ​​and the old contradictions arose.

The top two stars from mainland China did not go, and at the premiere of Wu's version of "Red Cliff", more than 80 famous stars were expected, but only half of them showed up.

The main creative star lineup is mainly composed of stars from Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island.

On the mainland side, only the affiliated companies Xiaoma Pentium and Chengtian have arranged people to come and show their support.

Only senior executives from several BJ film production companies and talent agencies attended, and none of their artists came.

Wu Yusen was so angry.

7 month 1 day.

Shen Santong's version of "Red Cliff" was released, and basically all the stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong were present.

In a word, those who attended the premiere of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" also came to the premiere of Shen Santong's version of "Red Cliff", and those who did not attend should attend even more.

Shen Santong generously invited Wu Yusen, but he did not come.

The double "Red Cliff" collision has begun!

After checking the information, I found that Han Sanping's slip of the tongue during the release of "Red Cliff" is quite interesting.

This is not a conspiracy theory from the author.

Think about it, in reality, "Red Cliff" premiered in July 08, and Han Sanping's slip of the tongue also happened at this time.

"The Promise" was released in the Lunar New Year holiday in December 05, more than two and a half years have passed.

In the past two and a half years, Han Sanping has taken a big step forward in his life and became the head of China Film Group in 07.

If we talk about the national theater distribution, "The Warlords" was also released with full force before.

Day and night, without beginning or end, it has been so long since I made "The Promise" and I have experienced so many things, but I still can't forget it.

According to what is said in my book, it makes perfect sense.

Chen Kaige is notorious, and the biggest beneficiaries are Chen Kexin and Wu Yusen.

It is definitely not that Han Sanping likes "The Promise" so much from the perspective of the audience, but that Chen Kaige has been blackened from the perspective of the industry, and the loss is too great.

We don’t know the details, we are just providing a perspective.

There was also an earthquake in the area.

A book friend said that he was going to make a military film about rescuing people.

This is just a novel. Using the earthquake to add glory to the protagonist is just another form of deconstructing suffering and whitewashing it with blood.
