New Age Artists

Chapter 513 Huge Influence! ( words, an invincible chapter!)
Shen Santong went abroad to promote the film.

"Red Cliff (Part 1)" was released in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was given to Jiang Wen, and it was up to Jiang Wen to decide whether to change the ending.

It's just a movie, it won't matter if it's not changed.

Shen Santong said everything he needed to say, but he was not Jiang Wen's elder.

Whether it is changed or not, it will affect Jiang Wen’s career.

It is your own choice to take a wider or narrower path. If you change it, Jiang Wen might not be like in his previous life. There was not a good movie after "Let the Bullets Fly".

If you don't change, there is a high probability that you will follow the same fate as your previous life.

Shen Santong further gained new insights that optimism, broad-mindedness and integrity are sometimes not just empty words, but have a real impact on a person's future.

Make up your mind not to cosplay anyone, but to focus on the matter.

The cause of xxism is always based on the cause. If you don’t do anything, you are nothing.

In later generations, all kinds of cosplay, demons and monsters all called themselves leftists. They were all monsters covered with human skin, bewitching people.

In short, it's about getting things done. "Let the Bullets Fly" is a good movie. Shen Santong put pressure on Jiang Wen to expand his perspective.

The three-way competition among Zhang Muzhi, Mr. Huang and the lawyer is a good show.

Tokyo.

Chiyoda Ward.

Shen Santong’s first stop was to Benzi.

The group was taken to a kaiseki restaurant with an ancient style.

The garden is dotted with strange rocks, flowing water, flowers, plants and trees, and lanterns with beautiful emblem paper are pasted on it.

The person in charge of Santong Entertainment's Tokyo office introduced Shen Santong as "Toho's chairman and president."

After greeting each other, the wooden Japanese sliding door was opened by the mama-san in kimono, and they went in together.

Shen Santong handed over the distributor of "Red Cliff (Part 1)" to Toho, that is, Toho Co., Ltd.

One of the largest film production companies in Japan, it owns Toho Entertainment Agency.

Masami Nagasawa, one of the main actors in "Inception", is an artist of Toho Office. At the age of 12, she won the best award in the fifth "Toho Cinderella Contest".

The one that Tokyo University is more familiar with is Akira Kurosawa, and "Your Name", "Detective Conan", "Naruto", "Godzilla", "Doraemon", "Crayon Shin-chan series", etc. are all produced by Toho.

The company that Shen Santong is most familiar with is the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater Company, which merged with Toho Film Company in the early years, abbreviated as Takarazuka.

When you quit the group and go into the adult entertainment industry, you are quitting Takarazuka.

In the previous life, it caused a lot of uproar and many people in this genre couldn’t accept it.

Takarazuka's motto is "清く正しく美しく", which means "pure", "dignified" and "elegant".

The conditions for joining the Takarazuka band are that all band members must be women and must have graduated from the Takarazuka Music School.

Since all the members of the group are female and are required to be unmarried, those who play female roles are called "sonyaku" and those who play male roles are called "nanyaku".

They are equivalent to the inheritors of some traditional dramas of Dongda University. They can marry into better families and have high social status.

Those who quit the group and went into the adult industry were not necessarily short of money, but were seeking revenge. They used the pseudonym "Nagisa Rensei", which is her mother's real name.

Takarazuka has repeatedly been hit by scandals such as bullying, sexual harassment, and PUA. Even though it only recruits women, the idea of ​​"male superiority and female inferiority" is deeply rooted in Takarazuka, and the level difference between male and female roles is very different. Female roles are even required to kneel down and talk to male roles.

Among all dogs, Akita dogs have the strangest temper, and not without reason. Japanese society is indeed filled with the smell of hell.

At the dinner party.

Shen Santong was chatting and laughing with the people from Dongbao.

Although I am a two-faced person, I feel comfortable when we have common interests.

Both parties are tacitly aware.

“Red Cliff Up and Down” is a movie project, not a movie project.

Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff (Part 1)" earned 5 billion yen. The distributor Avex is a new force in the Japanese entertainment industry and is not liked by the old overlords.

Shen Santong's "Red Cliff" was released after Wu Yusen's big hit, and it can take advantage of Wu Yusen's popularity and also dampen Avex's prestige.

This is a good business.

It's not just a simple business either.

It can be regarded as a prelude to the release of the book "Inception", so it doesn't seem abrupt.

It would be difficult to let Toho or Honji Film Company make a commercial film with strong themes criticizing international financial groups such as Soros for plundering Asia.

The United States has deep penetration into Japan's media and film and television industries and has strong control over them.

However, Honko's two-faced character meant that he would have the most distorted Honko in front of the most submissive Kenzen.

Japan is not naturally respectful to the United States, especially the financial sector.

If you ask the Japanese financial elites about the plunder of the Plaza Accord, they will only discuss the surface and will not sound resentful at all.

This is just Jianqian, only a ghost knows the real meaning.

Anyway, in later generations, the Japanese financial community has tried to test the United States several times and has voiced various calls for selling U.S. debt.

Shen Santong felt that the United States and the book were a good match.

The United States shows its toughness on the outside, but Japan is very twisted. Like an Akita dog, it has a strange temper. It is docile on one side but irritable on the other. It is also stubborn, selfish, and not very obedient.

Every time Japan tests, the United States will hit hard.

The United States never talks about winning people over with virtue, it just takes action.

Initially, the garrison used naked force, literally, to conquer Benzi with unbridled violence.

However, there will always be a time when the United States cannot be controlled, and the Akita dog will be absolutely ferocious to the owner who cannot be controlled.

At this time in 09, the main focus was the China-Japan-South Korea Free Trade Area.

The book wants to gain an advantageous, even dominant position, and has great ambitions.

Coupled with last year's financial crisis, Japan feels a sense of urgency and is afraid that the United States will kill the dog and eat the meat.

Shen Santong was able to take advantage of the situation and was tacitly doing something with Benzi.

After staying in the book for a few days, Shen Santong and a group of main creators participated in the promotional activities organized by Toho.

"Red Cliff (Part 1)" is not a domestic version, but a specially edited version of the book.

The story pace was slowed down, with more beautiful scenery to highlight the image of Cao Cao.

Subsequently.

Shen Santong went to Bangzi to promote the project.

In Japan and South Korea, Shen Santong keeps himself clean. After the promotion is over, he will only participate in normal dinner parties, but not abnormal ones.

When he has free time, Shen Santong never forgets to post from time to time to maintain the popularity of "Lost on Journey".

The hot topics created at the celebration party were very exciting.

"Lost on Journey" is a box office success.

The more netizens discussed, the more excellent posts appeared, including one by an international student talking about the disaster relief in New Orleans.

Shen Santong found that he had been misled in this matter.

Media can really change memories.

In the case of Hurricane Katrina, it was a good thing that the US military went in.

For this hurricane, President Bush repeatedly reminded the state and city to respond with all their strength and declare a state of emergency.

But at the state and city level, they are refusing to ask for federal help.

The states of the United States are more like unions than provinces.

Without active request, the Federation cannot get out.

Why don't states and cities want federal help?
Party quarrels.

The federal government is the elephant party, and the states and cities are the donkey parties.

Entering a state of emergency and the federal government stepping in to rescue, doesn't this make the local donkey party seem incompetent?
At that time, the Pentagon came up with some ideas to enter the disaster relief evacuation in advance without hurting the local face, but was rejected by the local authorities.

The area waited until the hurricane arrived before starting to evacuate, and many people did not have cars, and there were no buses available.

If you don’t have a car, can’t you rent one yourself?

If you can’t rent a car, you can ask someone to give you a ride. If you can’t find one, you’ll have to fend for yourself.

A super hurricane destroyed official organizations such as the local city hall and looted gun stores.

New Orleans has entered the national chicken competition.

So it is a good thing that the troops are entering, and they have to do so with real guns and real ammunition.

Suppress and restore local order as soon as possible.

The media reports that Shen Santong read, including domestic media reports, almost all emphasized using guns to rescue people from disasters, rather than letting party disputes delay disaster relief.

Why is there such misleading information? It is because the media propaganda machine of the Donkey Party is in operation, the Black Elephant Party is covering up its own mess.

Domestic media followed the reports of mainstream American media.

Shen Santong finally understood that rather than being pro-American, some domestic media actually listen to the Democratic Party media.

Shen Santong also read some American reports and did some verification, and found that the American people are really tenacious.

We cannot judge others by ourselves. Disaster relief in the University of Tokyo is top-down, while disaster relief in the United States is a local matter.

If someone dies, it's just their bad luck, and they rarely blame the government.

The reason why the hurricane during the election between Sister Haha and Yizier was so popular in later generations was because it was close to the voting time, so people used it to make a fuss about it.

No one expected much from federal disaster relief, including the victims themselves.

Shen Santong understood the whole story and felt a little confused.

This kind of concept manipulation technique is really amazing.

If you learn journalism well, it's really awesome. It can even change your memory.

Two days later, the results were released.

Fly to Singapore.

on the plane.

Li Yu followed Shen Santong to promote "Red Cliff", and the Southeast Asian distribution was handed over to Jiahe.

"Your previous films have a certain influence among the Chinese in Southeast Asia. With the help of Red Cliff, you will definitely be able to completely open up the Southeast Asian market."

Shen Santong was very steady: "It was mainly because of marketing that I beat Wu Yusen. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. In terms of overseas influence, Wu Yusen is more powerful."

"I don't have any obsession with exporting my movies. Culture is about overflow, not export. Only when you play well and have fun yourself, others will be willing to play with you."

"We can open up the market slowly with a few movies. East Asia and Southeast Asia are our traditional cultural influence areas. If the movies are good, it won't be difficult to open up the market."

The mainland market is large enough to give Shen Santong enough patience and confidence.

It will be fine as the influence of Todai will naturally expand.

He can fail many times, as long as he succeeds once.

Li Yu was sent to Jiahe by Shen Santong. Shen Santong was not in a hurry, but she was eager to prove herself: "You didn't make enough use of Girls' Generation. After I took over, I made more than 30 million in less than half a month."

Shen Santong, who was resting with his eyes closed, reminded: "Artists under my company don't serve wine or entertain guests."

Li Yu said professionally, "No need. No one would provoke them. If there is, they can use their Korean identity as an excuse and mention a diplomatic incident. Basically, no one dares to do anything."

He took out a document and handed it to Shen Santong: "It's normal use. They are used to high-intensity work."

Shen Santong opened his eyes and glanced through it. It was a stack of notices.

The schedule is so tight that I even sleep on the plane.

As "Lost on Journey" continues to be a hit, "Girls' Generation" is also very popular, comparable to Xiao Shenyang.

The appearance fee soared to more than 500,000 yuan, and the performance fee was calculated separately.

Li Yu introduced: "They even wanted to thank me. They all got a fixed salary, and I used an anonymous card to give them cash dividends. Nine people got more than 10%, which was very exciting."

“I’m afraid they’ll die suddenly.”

I couldn't help but sigh: "Koreans are really cruel in exploiting artists. I wish we could be like this. They take 90% of an artist's salary, or even don't give him 10% of it, and only give him a few thousand yuan a month as a fixed salary. It's too much money."

Shen Santong was shocked: "You are a little too extreme."

After getting off the plane, we settled in the Po County Hotel.

Li Yu asked, "Would you like to inquire about the casting of The Sound of Wind?"

After making some achievements, he would naturally get more questions. Li Yu paid great attention to the order of priority.

Shen Santong thought about it and felt that Li Bingbing's performance in the original version was indeed good: "Li Ningyu in The Sound of Wind can be handed over to Li Bingbing."

"But she's an old ghost, her acting skills have to hold up, if she can't, that won't work."

In this version intervened by Shen Santong, the old ghost is the same as in the original.

Li Yu asked, "What about Gu Xiaomeng?"

Shen Santong glanced at her and said, "You also have an idea about this role. Who did you promise it to, Zhou Xun?"

Zhou Xun really acted very well. Some actors are born to do this.

However, she is from Huayi, and the relationship between Shen Santong and Huayi began to become tense.

If Li Yu thought that she could do whatever she wanted just because she had a child, she was wrong.

No matter how outgoing she is to Hollywood or to the foreigners, Shen Santong's heart is too big to accommodate her.

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he heard the displeasure in Shen Santong's tone, and immediately said, "What do you think of Zhang Ziyi? The beach incident was her low point."

"Her endorsements are falling. There are no domestic projects willing to use her, and there are few projects abroad. Now she can only do some marginal marketing. I heard that she is working hard on the Forbes celebrity list to maintain her status and get a high ranking."

"I want to try to see if I can sign her studio. There aren't many projects that can help her, so there's a great possibility."

Shen Santong objected: "A broken drum is beaten by thousands of people. It will be difficult for Zhang Ziyi to get up after she falls down. There is no need."

If Zhang Ziyi plays Gu Xiaomeng, there is no problem with her acting skills and image, but the risk is too great.

After the beach gate, Zhang Ziyi's health bar was showing.

Public opinion has a boundary. Once the negative image exceeds the critical point, the public will subconsciously scrutinize it.

Another piece of negative news that falls short of the public image will turn into subconscious denial.

Always think of the worst in everything you do, unless you do something good to prove yourself.

When Zhang Ziyi fell into trouble, no one among the other Four Dans and Two Bings would miss the opportunity to step on her.

Zhang Ziyi's high-profile attitude may offend many people.

And as far as Shen Santong knows, Zhang Ziyi is still involved with the wealthy businessman, and there is a high probability that other scandals will occur in the future.

Shen Santong will not touch Zhang Ziyi. Her private life is her own business. What Shen Santong values ​​is her professional ability.

Meng Xiaodong's movie will be shot next year and released in 11 or 12. All the bad things will pass. Moreover, it is an autobiographical movie, which is more like an art film than a commercial film.

"The Whistleblower" will be finished filming this year and released next year. It is also a commercial film, so Zhang Ziyi, who poses a risk of reputation collapse, must not be used.

Shen Santong denied it, and Li Yu could not hide her disappointment. Signing with Zhang Ziyi's studio was in conflict with her sister's interests. The most sensible thing to do was to step on Zhang Ziyi, bring out the international Bing, and step hard on Zhang Ziyi.

She really wanted to do something, even at the cost of sacrificing some of her sister's interests.

Feeling that Shen Santong had a prejudice against her, Li Yu secretly made a decision that she would prove her indispensable side.

After the activities, rest in the hotel.

Shen Santong sorted out documents, one of which is "Modern Achievements in Film"

I got the inspiration from reading the news at the beginning of the month.

On February 2, the first inland Antarctic research station of Southeast University, China Kunlun Station, was officially opened.

Whenever Shen Santong has time, he will organize his thoughts on how to adapt some important moments into movies.
Then came the filming plan for Lost on Journey 2, and the casting preparations began.

Shen Santong is also thinking about the future of the Lost on Journey series, the third domestic installment of which is a copy of "Lost in Thailand".

The different timeline settings are a perfect tribute to the first part.

The prop gun fired, and it was also a tribute. The prop gun in the first film fired in the third film.

The filming of the fourth film, Lost in Japan, was given to Xu Guangtou.

The fifth film will return to China, and Shen Santong plans to make a road movie in the early stages.

Come to Northeastern Little Potato, Northwestern, Southwestern, and Southeastern.

We need to make preparations now and recruit comedy talents from all over the world.

If you have a good talent reserve, you won’t be in a hurry when you need them.

When you are tired of road movies, you can go on a journey through time.

For example, traveling back in time to the 1950s and 1960s to witness major projects such as the two bombs and one satellite, and time travel.

Starting from the fifth part, Shen Santong will change the leading actor, focusing more on the subject matter than the actors.

As long as there is a certain level of box office, it doesn't have to be very high to keep doing it.

Shen Santong promoted the project in Singapore for two days and then rushed to Thailand.

As of February 2, nearly a month after its release, Lost on Journey surpassed Red Cliff - Part 15 at the box office, reaching RMB million.

At the same time, "Red Cliff (Part 1)" also earned 30 million US dollars in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

Shen Santong did not expect that the 30 million U.S. dollars earned overseas by "Red Cliff" would have a greater impact than the over 100 million U.S. dollars earned domestically.

It is more important in the eyes of some departments.

The leader asked Shen Santong to accept an exclusive interview with CCTV.
