Chapter 427 Wu Yusen is at the end of his rope, and Lin Zhilin is forced into a corner (13)

7 month 8 day.

Shen's version of "Red Cliff" grossed 3532 million yuan.

Wu's version of "Red Cliff" grossed 873 million.

Four times difference!
Crush!

Even playing the victim won’t save it!

cry?
It’s not okay to cry!

The box office of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" was cut in half!
Countless people were shocked!
People inside and outside the circle were dumbfounded again!

Just when Wu's version of "Red Cliff" was showing some signs of improvement, it was directly defeated by Shen Santong!

Of course, after Shen Santong's analysis, many people realized that Wu's version of "Red Cliff" was caused by Wu Yusen's own random criticism.

If Lin Chi-lin is praised to that extent, it must be either Wu Yusen or someone else who starts criticizing her.

More than 600 million yuan invested, just for a woman, with crazy interactions inside and outside the play.

Before the release of the two films "Red Cliff", many people had high expectations for Wu Yusen.

The audience thought he was a famous Hollywood director.

In the industry, whether in Hong Kong or on the mainland, many people hope that Wu Yusen will crack down on Shen Santong and not let him become too arrogant.

The Hong Kong industry needs Wu Yusen to take on the big chess game after Chen Kexin's "The Warlords".

Li Rengang's "Resurrection of the Dragon" and Cheng Xiaodong's "The Kingdom and the Beauty" both failed in terms of word-of-mouth and box office.

Although the mainland directors' films "Hero", "Curse of the Golden Flower" and "The Promise" did not receive good reviews, at least they made money at the box office.

The costume blockbusters directed by Hong Kong Island not only have poor reputation, but also poor box office performance.

Hong Kong needs Wu Yusen to defeat Shen Santong head-on to prove the strength of Hong Kong directors.

The right to define, the right to speak, and the monopoly of commercial films are gone, and costume blockbusters must be in our hands.

The result is shocking!
It was almost a complete collapse.

According to theater statistics, Shen's version of "Red Cliff (Part 1)" grossed 258 million in its first week, while Wu's version of "Red Cliff (Part 1)" grossed less than 100 million.

Double kill!

After the first day, the original theater chain's forecast for the first week box office of Wu's version of "Red Cliff" was expected to be 150 million, and the total box office would exceed that of "Assembly".

However, the subsequent box office trend did not rise but fell instead, and the reputation was too bad to support it.

Not to mention "Assembly", even "Curse of the Golden Flower" is better than Wu's version of "Red Cliff".

The total box office forecast has been reduced to 150 million, and the box office expectations have been halved.

Then, Wu Yusen cried and the box office started to rise again, but it was unfortunately extinguished by Shen Santong himself.

Cinemas predict that the box office of Wu's version of "Red Cliff" may be just over 100 million.

This result may be enough for other directors.

There are not many film directors in mainland China who earn over 100 million yuan.

But this is Wu Yusen!

The theme of "Red Cliff" was snatched from Shen Santong with great effort.

The production took three years to prepare and cost nearly $100 million, but the first installment is just about to break the $100 million mark.

Obviously it is not enough!
What's worse is that the reputation of the upper part is likely to affect the performance of the lower part.

Shen Santong often makes jokes, but he is right in one thing: in 08, the mainland market is the top box office for Chinese-language films.

It is no longer a secret in the industry that the overseas revenue of costume blockbusters has been cut off by the West.

If we add the overseas markets, including Taiwan Island and Hong Kong Island outside the country, it is not enough to compete with the mainland market.

Wu Yusen's total Asian box office exceeded 18 million US dollars in the first week, of which more than 13 million US dollars came from the mainland market.

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

Sato yelled in front of Wu Yusen.

I don’t care about Benyin or Jianqian!

Trembling all over!

Sato wanted Wu Kebo to continue to manage Chengtian and put the blame on Wu Kebo.

But this bastard Wu Kebo is a complete waste. He works without putting in any effort and is like a dead pig.

Of course, objectively speaking, Wu Kebo's heart couldn't do anything.

Sato had no choice but to take action himself.

He even wanted to kill Wu Yusen.

Sato nominally cared about the company's wealth and the layout of the empire, but in reality, it didn't matter. As long as the responsibility for failure in all the steps and procedures was not on him, he could accept it.

When Sato first came to the University of Tokyo from Avex headquarters, he was quite happy.

Generally, being transferred from the headquarters to the branch is considered an exile, but Chengtian is different. It is about to take over the old overlord Jiahe and is rooted in Dongda.

It plays a big role for both the empire and the company.

It is reuse.

Baka! As expected, no good thing can happen to a commoner like him.

Sato threatened Wu Yusen again, "You must do something, no matter what means you use! I know what you are thinking. The Dongda film market is in a period of expansion. Even if you cheat us, some people will continue to invest in your film."

"But please believe us, Wu Sang. You have caused us such heavy losses. We will never give you another chance."

"What Shen Santong said is just the surface. Miss Lin Zhilin's family, as well as some of your own circumstances, please believe that we can do it."

"Iida Tatsumi, our former chairman and honorary president, is an important member of the Imperial Business Federation, serving as a director and the director of the Entertainment Industry Department of the Economic and Industrial Affairs Committee."

"As a filmmaker, you should know that in March this year, he became the new president of the Tokyo International Film Festival for a three-year term."

"Yuna Yasuhide is the second son of Uno Mototada (Yu Yuanzhong), the founder of Osaka Cable Broadcasting Station (parent company of Cable Group)."

“He helped the company through a difficult period four years ago, and although he is no longer the largest shareholder, he still has a deep friendship with the company.”

"Wu Sang, we have the strength to make you pay the price."

Sato's words were very harsh at first, and then became softer and softer.

At the end, he even bowed.

Wu Yusen's expression changed drastically. Benzi was a person of such a personality that the lighter his tone appeared on the surface, the more vicious he was inside.

Wu Yusen said: "I am a director with great influence in the University of Tokyo. Takeshi Kaneshiro playing Zhuge Liang is more important than money."

Sato bowed and said, "Hayi! Please take this to heart, Wu Sang."

Takeshi Kaneshiro’s performance as Zhuge Liang is indeed good, but it is only icing on the cake.

If Red Cliff can’t get back the $50 million, Chengtian will be doomed.

He has to take the blame for such a mess.

It doesn't matter who Takeshi Kaneshiro plays!
What does the empire's goals have to do with his small company employee?
The company's investment has failed, and the executives who made the decision at the time will definitely not be held responsible.

There is nothing wrong with the procedures and steps.

He is here to take the blame.

Moreover, the executives have the box office revenue to reduce their own responsibilities, but he has nothing.

No matter what Wu Yusen said, Sato would just bow and nod, asking him to find a way to increase the box office.

Oh shit!

Wu Yusen felt the determination of the Japanese devils and hated Shen Santong even more!
Aren’t they just trying to steal your movie subject matter? You already have two movies a year, so you can’t miss this one!
Yes.

He told some lies for the sake of the movie box office, but why couldn't Shen Santong just admit his mistake like other people in the mainland!
Wu Yusen is so fed up!

The roadshow cannot stop, we have to find a solution.

Because the failed Shen Santong is still on the roadshow, and his troops are divided into two groups.

On his side, Takeshi Kaneshiro has returned to his script, and Liang Chaowei has also run away.

Wu Yusen had to admit that mainland actors were cheap and easy to use.

"Red Cliff" has no insurance guarantee, and only mainland actors are willing to wait.

Now only the mainland is accompanying the roadshow.

Thinking of this, Wu Yusen hated Shen Santong even more. People in the mainland were very cooperative, so why didn't you, Shen Santong, cooperate?
Wu Yusen called Lin Zhilin and put enough pressure on him: "Let Boss Guo do his best. If the box office of my Red Cliff doesn't exceed 200 million, you will definitely be finished."

"This movie can make you a top star in mainland China, but you have to work hard!"

Lin Chi-Lin reminded: "Director, I tried my best!"

Wu Yusen said seriously: "Although Shen Santong lied a lot, he was right about one thing. Is beauty worth my reputation and career?"

"Boss Guo, and your parents, use all the channels you can think of to put pressure on Shen Santong. Don't let him go too far."

Wu Yusen didn't expect Shen Santong to be so powerful.

In his opinion, he had already made it to the top in Hollywood, so he could just make some movies in the mainland market.

Lin Zhilin walked out of Wu Yusen's room, cursing Wu Yusen as a waste in his heart, but he could only make a phone call.

Wu Yusen himself also started making phone calls frantically to try to find connections.

We must first prevent Shen Santong from launching another counterattack.

Otherwise, there is no point in doing anything. Shen Santong is really good at scolding.
