Chapter 543: Believe that flowers are hanging on the branches ( words long chapter)
8 month 29 day.

Night.

The 13th Huabiao Awards ceremony was held at the BJ Exhibition Hall, hosted by Jing Wei, Pu Cunxi, Cheng Long, and Xu Ruoxuan.

The camps of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Shen Santong was quite surprised to learn about the award-winning work of Red Cliff (Part 1) in advance.

While waiting for the show, I chatted with Han Sanping: "I didn't expect that an excellent director would give it to me."

Han Sanping was also surprised by this decision, but he also understood it: "Your grades make up for your lack of qualifications. Your movies are great, so you are the movie champion."

He was deeply moved. Shen Santong was not an ordinary director. His influence exceeded that of a director.

Shen Santong pretended not to know: "What champion marquis?"

Han Sanping had already figured out Shen Santong's personality: "Don't play dumb, you definitely know."

Shen Santong pursed his lips and smiled.

Both Red Cliff (Part 2) and The Shallows were huge hits and achieved good results across Asia, bringing more than just commercial benefits.

A few days ago, the review of "Inception" was blocked.

The storm was extinguished before it even started and was passed immediately.

Moreover, in the future, the scale of films directed by Shen Santong can be relaxed appropriately.

It is said to be appropriate. In fact, before Shen Santong's whole bad work, it was a bit like the treatment of Li An before. He decided on the editing himself and was generally exempt from inspection.

Shen Santong's films are not just movies.

He doesn't want to go to the West. Doing his own thing within the influence of the University of Tokyo is a contribution in itself.

These two great plays fully demonstrate the country's vibrant vitality.

It’s not the transport captain’s Bobo Chicken, but it’s really full of vitality.

At the same time, the situation of the University of East Asia's recovery was also expressed to Asia.

This kind of penetrating power goes beyond movies.

"Red Cliff" will be included in the "Five One Project" selection next month.

“Five Ones” refers to excellent works in five aspects.

These five aspects are: a good drama, a good TV series (or movie), a good book (limited to social sciences), a good theoretical article (limited to social sciences), and a good song.

The waiting period is over.

Walk the red carpet.

Shen Santong brought "Red Cliff (Part 12)" with a box office of billion yuan, and "The Shallows" with a box office of over million yuan in days. The total box office of all his works at home and abroad has exceeded billion yuan.

He also brought three crews with him, "Red Cliff", "The Shallows", and "Inception", which will be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year next year.

This is the first time Shen Santong has won the Outstanding Director award.

Won the award together with Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang.

This means that Shen Sanyong has made up for all his shortcomings with his academic performance, and his qualifications are no worse than Kaizige and Xiaogangpao.

In addition to the Best Director award, "Red Cliff (Part 1)" also won the Outstanding Feature Film, Outstanding Film Technology Award, and Outstanding Actor Award.

This is the second time that this film has won the Outstanding Feature Film award, following Happy Birthday.

Director Chen won the Huabiao Outstanding Actor Award for the second time for his performance in Red Cliff (Part 1), sharing the award with Zhang Hanyu and Guo Jinglin.

Shen Santong thought he was just a little emotional about the Best Director award, but he was a little surprised when he heard the award speech for Outstanding Feature Film.

The Huabiao Awards' award speech for "Red Cliff (Part 1)" reads: "Red Cliff" inspires cultural cohesion and historical self-confidence, organically combines historical themes and commercial elements, and strikes a balance between actor portrayal and historical narrative, exploring a new creative model for historical films. It is hereby awarded the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Feature Film.

This year's Huabiao Awards is also fun.

In order to strengthen cooperation among Chinese-language filmmakers, the "Overseas Chinese Creative Staff Award" was specially created, including three awards for outstanding male and female actors and outstanding directors.

Among them, Jet Li presented the Best Actor Award to Zhen Zidan.

Shen Santong was very happy watching this.

It is officially confirmed that you, Jet Li, are an outsider. Unlike Zhen Zidan, Jet Li has betrayed his own identity.

Celebration party.

Fan Bingbing sighed: "You are quite calm."

Shen Santong teased, "Compared to the fight between you and Li Bingbing on the set of The Sound of Wind, the Huabiao was just a small scene."

The quarrel between the two Bings has affected the normal filming of the crew.

If the two of them didn't have some tricks up their sleeves, the production would have been shut down.

Big stars like Shuang Bing are simply not something that ordinary directors can control.

Moreover, neither of them is a student of Beijing Film Academy, so Jiang Wei really has no good solution.

Fan Bingbing turned the tables and said, "Li Bingbing always uses too much force. The problem is her."

The next day.

Shen Santong joined the crew of "The Sound of Wind" to keep the show going.

Li Bingbing immediately called Li Yu to increase his persuasiveness: "Fan Bingbing's acting is not good, why not replace her? I think Zhou Xun is good."

Shen Santong asked Li Yu: "You are quite free now, do you want me to give you a holiday?"

Li Yu took his leave.

She was completely subdued by Shen Santong, at least on the surface.

Shen Santong was just there to watch the show.

I have no interest in the Ice and Snow Legend, nor in the double layer of ice + snow.

A red line, you can quarrel as much as you want, but don’t affect the filming, just focus on the movie.

halfway.

Fan Bingbing also promoted "Perfect Match" for two days.

After coming back, I was full of confidence and high morale.

"The Shallows" has broken the 100 million yuan box office mark, and thanks to Fan Bingbing's appeal, "Perfect Match" easily broke the 100 million yuan mark.

9 month 3 day.

Shen Santong attended the premiere of "Love Has Next Life".

This drama has been filmed for many years and is the directorial debut of Yu Feihong.

Shen Santong helped find a producer and several assistant directors, and the overall completion rate was much better than in the previous life.

The market was hot and revenue easily exceeded 100 million.

"Red Cliff (Part 2)" grossed over 1.2 billion yuan, and "The Shallows" grossed over 800 million yuan, with the two films grossing a total of 2 billion yuan, attracting a large number of audiences to theaters, and film production and theater chain construction are booming.

Several 3D film projects have been launched.

The 3D wave in the previous life was started by "Avatar", and in this life it was started by Shen Santong.

The official response was swift.

A series of 3D giant screen subsidy policies have been introduced for this world-leading film concept.

The Special Fund Office issued four subsidy measures for producers and cinemas respectively. It clearly stated that for films in high-tech formats such as 3D and giant screens, if the box office exceeds 5000 million, a reward of one million can be obtained, and no tax is required.

Local incentives: For 3D and giant screen films, the subsidy amount is 2500 million yuan when the box office reaches 5000 million to 100 million yuan.

Huayi, Bona and Guangxian Media have all begun to get involved in 3D movies.

In addition to rewards for domestically produced 3D giant-screen movies, there are also subsidies for new construction and renovation of cinemas, and cinema chains have also ushered in a period of rapid development.

The domestic film market is not just good, it is very good.

In the promotion of Chen Kexin's "Wuxia" during the Lunar New Year period, it is mainly promoted as the first 3D masterpiece after "Red Cliff" and "The Shallows".

True 3D is expensive and time-consuming.

Shen Santong took four years to make Red Cliff (Part 3), and it was just pseudo D.

With the experience, The Shallows also had a two-year production cycle.

Chen Kexin spent 3 million on his martial arts film, but now he doesn’t even have the money to convert it into D.

Currently, there are not many companies abroad that can do 3D, and in China there is only Shen Santong’s technology company.

Out of curiosity, I asked the technical supervisor.

After hearing the answer, Shen Santong fell silent.

"Wuxia" is not made in 3D, nor is it made with additional investment to make pseudo-3D, but it is subtitled 3D!

Only the subtitles are in 3D, but that's also 3D.

Comply with subsidy regulations.

Shen Santong understood why 3D movies became so popular in later generations and why there were so many 3D movies.

One is a gimmick, the other is a subsidy scam.

9 month 10 day.

"Wolf Tooth" started filming.

There was also a movie called "Wolf Tooth" in the previous life. After working hard in the Hong Kong circle, Wu Jing finally had a movie that he directed and acted in.

The story is illogical, stiff, and the results are terrible.

And Wu Jing still plays the role of a cold-blooded killer.

If "Wolf Warrior" hadn't washed away the smell of him, his screen image would have been fixed as a cold-blooded killer.

However, the heroine of this drama is Jingshan Lu, and the heroine of "Wolf Warrior 2", played by Wu Jing, also plays a wolf-like character.

The emergence of "Wolf Warrior" is not accidental.

It is both Wu Jing's last-ditch effort and the result of many years of accumulation.

Shen Santong's "Wolf Fang" tells the story of Zhou Dengfeng, a retired special forces soldier who was awarded the title of Wolf Fang. While on vacation in Siam, he accidentally witnessed a crime against children. During the rescue process, he discovered a huge conspiracy involving an international human trafficking group.

Langya Zhou Dengfeng decided to rescue them out of his sense of mission as a soldier, and eventually fought his way out of the encirclement and fought a bloody battle with the foreign mercenaries.

The four-act story structure is still strictly followed.

The story of Shen San Tong is very old-fashioned, and it would be a very overused subject in Hollywood, but it is unique in the country.

It’s a military theme, with Dongda University as the savior, and the main theme is a thrilling experience.

It's both exciting and cruel, and the heroine sacrifices herself in the end.

Help Langya Zhou to reach the top and explode. At the end it will be said that it is not a real sacrifice, but a hostage, waiting to be rescued by Dengfeng.

Very familiar, yes, it’s Long Xiaoyun.

Shen San Tong's drama needed to be filmed abroad, but most of it was shot in the country.

"First round!"

Field recorder.

The first scene is Zhou Dengfeng’s retirement from the army, bidding farewell to a group of comrades.

lawn.

A group of strong men, shirtless and muscular, are playing football in the sunset.

This was their way of saying goodbye.

To be more precise, it is a tribute to the beach volleyball in Top Gun.

With the BGM, every frame is a golden classic picture.

The heroine of "Wolf Tooth" is Wang Zhi, played by Shen Sanyong.

Her character is a combination of Han Duoduo and Qiu Ya, the protagonist’s white moonlight. Her figure is concealed by her military uniform, and she died in the rescue operation.

Shen Santong was filming in a closed environment.

9 month 16 day.

The tribute film "The Founding of a Republic" was released, but Shen Santong was filming and did not attend the premiere.

In early October, the film switched locations.

The crew had a day off.

Shen Santong flew to Shanghai.

Tangtang gave birth to a boy.

Then he continued filming, which made his mother-in-law so angry that she almost died. She muttered several words in incomprehensible Shanghainese.

Shen Santong's tone sounded very intense.

Probably advising him not to work too hard, how thoughtful!
In October, continue filming.

There was a news in the circle that Zhang Na La was banned because of her remarks on Korean TV that if you are short of money, you can come to Dongda to make money.

The ban was fake, and her works were still broadcast afterwards.

However, it is true that the number of collaborations has decreased, and her remarks like these have caused her to lose popularity among the public.

Yes, people in Dongda Market are stupid and have lots of money, but can they say it?
end of June.

Huayi was successfully listed.

There is no price limit on the ChiNext, it is just a temporary suspension, and the market value has continued to rise, exceeding 10 billion.

Wang Zhongjun's wealth soared by more than 3 billion yuan, and Shen Santong still held 5 points of equity, making a considerable profit.

The entire entertainment industry is boiling!

From Santong Entertainment to Huayi, countless hot money has poured in, and other film and television companies have also sought to go public.

Shen Santong is still filming.

Jiang Wen's Let the Bullets Fly is also being filmed, and Mr. Huang has finally confirmed that Chow Yun-fat will play the lead role.

Chow Yun-fat decided to take a big pay cut, and at the same time, one of the investors, Ying Huang, agreed to help run the Academy Awards.

China Film Group was moved, not for the sake of profit. Ten or more years ago, there was still some profit, but now the Academy Awards have no profit, they are just a symbol of unity.

The main reason for using Zhou Runfa was Jiang Wen’s decision.

As the creation progressed, Jiang Wen consciously rejected Shen Santong's decision.

The project is mature and Shen Santong's control is not that strong.

As for the ending of the movie, Shen Santong's proposal was naturally invalid.

Shen Santong was not upset about this.

It's fine as long as "Let the Bullets Fly" can be filmed normally. The movie is good and it makes money.

As for controlling Jiang Wen?

Come on, that's impossible.

11 month 30 day.

Shen Santong announced: "The filming of Wolf Fang has been completed!"

This month, Milton Keynes' sci-fi disaster movie "2012" was released. From this movie, we can get a glimpse of the power of American marketing.

A doomsday rumor can have a very powerful effect and even become a trend of thought.

In effect, it is similar to many unsolved mysteries and some ancient civilizations.

There is no solid evidence, but it is very convincing.

In "2012", there are shots that specially "care" for Dongda Market.

All I can say is that American directors are screened, and subconsciously they are stereotyped.

Starting from the end of November, the "strongest" Lunar New Year box office is here.

"Mulan" will be released on November 11th.

On December 12, Chen Kexin's "Wuxia" premiered.

December 12th, "刺陵".

December 12th, "Storm and Cloud 9".

December 12th, "Three Shots Surprise".

December 12th, "The Siege of the City in October".

The Spring Festival period opened up by Shen Santong is not yet mature, and the New Year period is traditionally a strong period.

According to industry insiders, audiences have limited money to spend on watching movies.

It’s not about who grabs it first.

It is not right for anyone to cheat first.

Whoever gets the audience to consume first will benefit.

Sit back, there’s no money to watch even if you want to.

This Lunar New Year blockbuster lives up to the title of “the strongest”.

The audience was kind of spanked - their eyes were opened.

The action was to watch the national football match - Geneva refunded the money!
Shen Santong accompanied Tang Yan to watch them one by one.

Nothing else, just want to feel like an ordinary couple with Shen Santong.

Work hard.

"Mulan" is not the one filmed by Americans in later generations, but the one starring "Zhan Tian".

how to say?

"Zhetian" finally got her wish to enter the Hong Kong circle, the Academy Awards were opened to her, and she would win the Best Actress award a few years later.

The Lunar New Year box office keeper "Wu Xia" is a pure scam.

Han Sanping squeezed "2012" and "Mulan" to the corners, and "Wuxia" accounted for % of the filming.

Thanks to the word-of-mouth of "The Warlords" and the gimmick of 3D movies, the film grossed million on the first day.

The next day it fell and was halved again.

But it still grossed 170 million in its first weekend.

Han Sanping became ruthless in order to recover his investment.

The audience who watched the show could only describe it in one word: pure fraud!

What a crap 3D movie, only the subtitles are 3D, the plot is crap.

Many viewers remembered a piece of gossip that "The Warlords" was the product of Shen Santong's interference, which was certain.

Damn, among domestic movies, only Shen Santong’s are safe to watch!
In this "strongest" Lunar New Year box office, "Wuxia" is just the beginning.

"The Tomb of the Assassin" and "Storm Warriors 2" are also heavyweights.

Zhou Jielun is a young and popular star these days who can bring in box office revenue.

"Slam Dunk" has exceeded 100 million.

"King of Pandas" was introduced by the five major TV stations at a high price and sold for second and third rounds of broadcast.

"刺陵", Zhu Yanping + Zhou Jielun + Lin Zhilin, with the support of director Chen Ming.

Director Chen was negotiated by investor Wu Dun, and he is Jia Jingwen's godfather.

Zhou Jielun's appeal is huge, and the theaters allocated 2 screening points to "刺陵", 2012 to "风云", to the poorly reviewed "武侠", and the rest to "慕兰" and "".

How bad is "刺陵"?

It was not until the release of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" that it was cleared of its reputation as the worst.

This drama shows that there is nothing left on Wandao Island.

Zhou Jielun, who still has appeal, is the "most beautiful girl on Wandao Island", and Lin Chi-lin, who has risen to fame by stepping on the sword of the gods, is assisted by Zeng Zhiwei and director Chen Ming.

Make a movie without a story and no logic.

Various characters appear and disappear mysteriously.

It was completely a gap between product placements, with some action scenes without a plot squeezed in.

"刺陵" was also the beginning of Zhou Jielun's reputation being ruined.

The movie is made with real money, and the fans’ patience is limited.

After that, "Once Upon a Time in China", "Reverse War" and "The Green Hornet" all suffered losses, and then there was nothing else.

If "刺陵" means that Wan Island has nothing, then "风云2" means that Hong Kong Island also has nothing to offer.

A big IP in the "Storm and Cloud" series, starring Aaron Kwok and Cheng Yi-kin.

The previous film, "Storm Warriors" in 98, took in 2000 million Hong Kong dollars in the mainland and more than million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island, becoming the annual box office champion.

The final film is comparable to "Storm 2" and "The Thorn Mausoleum". There is no story, no plot, no characters, no logic, nothing.

There is no Tang Yan either.

I performed it in my previous life, but not in this life.

This "strongest" Lunar New Year movie.

The heavyweights "Three Guns" and "October Siege" have not yet appeared.

The two plays were full of tension before they were released.

Bernard Films, the distributor of "October Siege", has been having new and old grudges with New Picture of "Three Guns".

That year, "Curse of the Golden Flower" was invested with 3.6 million yuan. In order to avoid direct confrontation with "Curse of the Golden Flower", other films in the same release period such as "Curse of the Golden Flower" were forced to change their release dates.

At the same time, Paul Bernard, the producer of "City of Pain", revealed that the producers of "Curse of the Golden Flower" had signed a one-month exclusive screening agreement with Digital Cinemas.

从06年12月14日至07年1月14日，整整4周的时间，全国数字院线将只放映《黄金甲》一部电影。

Bernard accused Curse of the Golden Flower of monopolistic behavior.

CEO Yu Dong reported the situation to the General Administration several times that year, hoping that the General Administration could curb the market dominance of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

The effect is very good, and "City of Pain" will be released smoothly in digital theaters.

Before the Lunar New Year holiday season began, Zhang Weiping announced that whenever "The Siege of October" was released, "Three Guns" would be released.

New Picture and Bernard continued to compete until "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "The Flowers of War" were released on the same day. When Zhang Yimou left New Picture, Zhang Weiping was no longer the same as before.

Zhang Weiping’s biggest trump card is Zhang Yimou, “With one plan in hand, the world is mine.”

To be honest, Zhang Yimou is really awesome.

Especially after the Olympics, the reputation reached its peak.

The derogatory term "national teacher" was used by the media to disgust Zhang Yimou, satirizing him as a court writer and a running dog.

That’s right, compared to some eccentrics, Zhang Yimou is not too upright.

At the end of "No One Left Behind", after Wei Minzhi's search for her students was reported by the TV station, the students were found. The TV station sent a special car to take them back to the village, and a truckload of school supplies donated by all walks of life was delivered to the school.

In addition, there was a shot of the national flag. After watching it, Cannes Film Festival President Jacob publicly expressed his dislike, believing that the film was a propaganda effort for the government.

Zhang Yimou wrote an open letter to break with Cannes, withdrew the film and sent it to Venice.

In the eyes of the media at the time, Zhang Yimou had no character and no literary temperament.

Whitewash the truth and sing praises.

When "Hero" was released, a film that promoted the commercialization of the film industry, the reform of theater chains, and the start of a profit-sharing model between producers and theater chains, criticism reached its peak.

A bunch of scholars jumped out to question Zhang Yimou's problematic values ​​and whitewash the tyrant Ying Zheng.

Zhang Yimou was very strong inside. "National Master" and "Farmer" were all mocking him. Every eight minutes of the Olympics was spent criticizing him, and in the end he presented an opening ceremony that shocked the world.

Like many other terms such as “50 cents” and “pinks”, the term “national teacher” has changed in nature.

It can be said that Zhang Yimou single-handedly carried the entire Dongda Film Group forward for a period of time.

In the 1990s, the awards won by Zhang Yimou's films at the three major film festivals accounted for less than half of the total number of awards won by all directors in the East, more than the total number of Hong Kong and Taiwan film directors, more than the total number of Korean film directors, and more than half of Japanese film directors.

It was he who initiated the marketization, which ushered in the era of blockbusters and commercial films and drove the golden decade of the film market.

Mou girl.

Zhang Yimou's movie, which is a guaranteed second-tier movie, made Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi famous.

It's not just the movies, but also the Impression series that drives the place.

Zhang Yimou is the son of film versions of a certain period.

Don't be too critical and look at it objectively. Zhang Yimou is indeed awesome.

It's amazing that an old man in his seventies is still full of energy and has found a new way to play in his career. From a personal perspective, it's really amazing and his will is very strong.

Shen Santong admires him very much. The problem of future generations is not with Zhang Yimou.

No one sent him away or cleared him out.

There are no more new players in the industry to defeat him.

Shen Santong felt that the greatest respect for Zhang Yimou was to turn the page on him.

Of course, no matter how great Zhang Yimou is, "Three Guns" is still a bad movie that makes money.

Filming started in early June, and it was announced in August that it had entered post-production. Promotion and marketing also began at the same time, and it will be released on December 12th.

The script is based on the Coen brothers' film Blood Simple.

Blood Simple is characterized by film noir and Hitchcock.

The scale of the film is large, and it is difficult to adapt the script. The project is led by Zhang Weiping, and Zhang Weiping's level of aesthetics is hard to describe.

In 06, Zhang Yimou invited Gong Li and Zhou Runfa to star in "Curse of the Golden Flower". Zhang Weiping thought that these two were "outdated" and had no appeal to young people. He forcibly intervened and added Zhou Jielun's ethical plot.

When the project of "Three Guns" was launched, Zhang Yimou wanted to present a serious and suspenseful atmosphere.

Zhang Weiping insisted on using Xiao Shenyang because he was very popular in the Spring Festival Gala, and then the movie would go astray.

When Uncle Zhao, Xiao Shenyang, and other Errenzhuan actors appeared in Zhang Yimou's films, things became abstract, as later generations would say.

The movie "Three Guns" was made to make up for New Picture. Zhang Yimou was busy with the Olympics, and New Picture had no income for two years.

Starting at 2:10 on February 18, "Three Guns" was screened in large cinemas in major cities. Ticket sales ended at 1: a.m. and the preview box office exceeded million.

The first day's performance was 60 million, not as good as Shen Santong's record, but also very strong.

As of December, the latest screen report came out, showing six thousand screens, and cinemas are being built crazily all over the country.

In line with Zhang Yimou's appeal, Curse of the Golden Flower achieved a single-day peak box office of over 3000 million yuan, with only screens at the time.

As the first-day screening schedule of "Three Guns" reached 2012%, "Mulan" and "" were directly withdrawn from theaters.

Shen Santong accompanied Tang Yan to watch "Three Guns".

"It's not that bad. The murder of the shopkeeper Ma Zi and the repeated stealing of corpses and wrongful killings are all stories with quick and clever jumps and a sense of humor."

Shen Santong had a sense of déjà vu and familiarity.

Isn't this the Inn movie?
The appearance of "Man Jiang Hong" is not accidental. "Three Guns" is a script-killing drama in an inn.

Just like how Wu Jing was able to make "Wolf Warrior", the development of things has its own context.

Shen Santong's films attach great importance to ideology, and there are reasons for that.

Later generations were disgusted by it and became very concerned and sensitive.

"Three Guns" is one of the origins of Zhang Yimou's "Red River".

Tang Yan: "I think it's OK, but it's a little awkward. Let's go watch "The Besieged City" in a few days."

Shen Santong, wearing a thick mask, nodded helplessly.

I wasn't around to take care of the baby and recuperate, so now whatever Tang Yan says goes.

In order to build momentum for "Three Guns", Zhang Weiping directly blasted Han Sanping as a mountain eagle.

"A few days ago, I met a leader from the Film Bureau. He asked me why I didn't come to the Huabiao Awards despite being invited many times in the past two years. I said that the Huabiao Awards has become a one-man show and a cult of personality. People who know about it think it's the highest official award, while those who don't know it think it's a party held by some company. The people sitting in the audience are all bigwigs from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there are shouts of 'Thank you, Mr. Han Sanye' from above. What 'Sanye'? At first I thought it was Zuo Shandiao who came, and he made the Huabiao Awards a mess."

Therefore, Shen Santong is really nothing. He was just criticizing the phenomenon and did not blatantly target anyone.

If there is, I am telling the truth.

Many people exaggerate the influence of some people. Han Sanping is definitely a giant in the film industry, but Zhang Wei should criticize him if he deserves to.

Zhang Weiping felt that with Zhang Yimou in his hands, the box office of "Three Guns" could reach 700 million.

As long as the box office can be sold, there will be no shortage of support.

12 month 17 day.

"The Siege of the City in October" was released.

The strength is not inferior to "Three Guns".

The producers include two major media groups: SMG Group and China Media Group.

China Radio and Television Media has Mango Channel, and SMG Media has Tomato Channel.

"October Besieged City" is endorsed by two TV stations, and its publicity resources are very powerful.

The premiere was exclusively broadcast on Dragon TV, and "The Besieged City in October" was also featured on Big Camp and Day Day Up.

Media resources and hard advertisements in every place will support "The Besieged City in October". As the representative of Mango TV said, the resources they have can influence 7 million viewers.

"October Besieged" has a star-studded cast: Zhen Zidan, Wang Xueqi, Liang Jiahui, Hu Jun, Wang Bojie, Xie Biwang, Li Yuchun, Li Ming, Zeng Zhiwei, Ren Dahua, Zhang Xueyou, and Li Jiaxin.

The cinema chain allocated 45 percent of the screening schedule, which led to a fierce competition between "Three Guns" and "The Siege of the City in October".

"The Besieged City" is a good movie, but it still has the old problems of Hong Kong movies.

The pattern is too narrow, the logic is not sound, and most importantly, there are too many personal opinions.

The people of Hong Kong Island are not twisted, they have forgotten their history and their memories have been modified.

All I can say is that Dai Ying’s ability to sow discord is really strong, and he is a troublemaker inherited from his ancestors.

Even if Dai Ying leaves, he won't leave quickly, and will leave countless landmines.

Compared with Dai Ying, Milijian is definitely more compassionate.

Every thing has its own nemesis. Milijian is in charge of Daiying, while Qiu Jier is a traitor to his country.

Dai Ying transferred the reasons for the development of Hong Kong Island from the mainland to its own system, and then put all the blame on it.

In "The Siege of the City in October", while shouting "We would rather die than be slaves of a conquered country", the British guards marched by in a swagger, claiming that we will not get involved in the affairs of you, the people of Dongda University.

Moreover, there are loopholes in the story itself. Why must the meeting be held in Hong Kong Island? Can't the representatives be called to other places?
Why must you come ashore with such fanfare? Can't you just put on makeup and sneak around?

The story is a "setup" rather than a natural progression, and just like the original "The Empire Strikes Back", it is set up for the sake of the plot.

If you had to use the Tongtianfu Scepter to kill Wu Zetian, couldn't you just stand on a high place and shoot an arrow?

If it is a visual effects blockbuster, the plot is almost okay. The plot of "2012" is not that good either. The visual effects are the re-editing and splicing of special effects shots in "Titanic", "Poseidon", "Armageddon", "Skyfall", and "Molten" without any innovation.

But it looks good in the country, and combined with doomsday marketing, it can make money at the box office.

The biggest problem with a movie is that it has no visual effects and a poor plot.

After the baptism of the "strongest" Lunar New Year box office.

Shen Santong's fans are calling on him to come back soon online.

There is no need for Shen Santong to take action, China Film Group has said it will take action!
Avatar is released on January 4th.

Does Han Sanping have any intention against Zhang Weiping here?
Hard to say.

"Avatar" is Cameron's comeback work ten years after "Titanic".

12 month 18 number.

"Avatar" premiered in North America, but the box office on the first day was not high, only 2700 million US dollars.

The box office for the first weekend was only 7300 million US dollars, but the decline was very small.

The box office of new Hollywood films dropped by 30% to 50% in the second week, but "Avatar" dropped by only a staggering 3%, earning another $7500 million.

The film exploded overseas, earning $1.59 million and reaching $2.34 million worldwide in its first weekend.

Some people in Simplified Chinese have been calling for a quick release of Avatar, and there have been many comments such as "go to Hong Kong Island to watch it, don't watch the Simplified Chinese abridged version."

"Avatar" grossed over 30 million on its first day.

Influenced by "Wuxia", everyone is cautious about the so-called 3D.

And then it exploded!
It grossed over 100 million in two days, over 200 million in four days, and the highest single-day box office was close to 90 million.

Broke Shen Santong's record!

In the first six days, "Avatar" set a box office record of 400 million.

The total box office was 450 million, and "Three Guns" and "October Besieged City" shared the remaining 50 million box office.

Shen Santong ignited the market ahead of time, and then the number of screens increased, and "Avatar" performed even more powerfully than its predecessor.

In the face of special effects blockbusters, which have the United States' usual narrative advantage, "Three Guns" and "The Siege of the City in October" are almost vulnerable.

"Avatar" has swept the domestic market with overwhelming force!
China Film Group has launched two "Avatar" carriers, seven formats, and ten versions to the market. Among all the versions, the most attractive ones are undoubtedly 3D+China Giant Screen and 3D+IMAX formats.

Tickets for the giant screen and IMAX versions of "Avatar" are hard to come by. The 150-yuan movie tickets have been driven up to double the price by scalpers, and a situation similar to the hoarding of tickets by scalpers for "Red Cliff (Part )" has begun to appear.

The release of "Avatar" means the end of 2009 and the beginning of 10.

Shen Santong held the year-end meeting.

From the overall environment point of view, the situation has been getting better and better every year since 08.

Economic disasters such as the financial crisis can only highlight the gap in systems.

The more violent the waves, the more it shows the level of the helmsman.

Generally speaking, they all feel the same, but when under pressure, the differences become apparent.

Compared with 09, the threat from the north gradually disappeared in 08.

The northern issue that had troubled Dongda for thousands of years was resolved.

Shen Santong held a meeting with senior executives.

Straight to the point: "Avatar has taught the domestic film market a lesson. Its story is average, but it is better than ours."

"At least they are whitewashing their own history and serving their own interests."

“Did our movie do that?”

"There are so many bad movies in the current film market, and many mediocre movies have achieved high box office."

"I can tell you that this situation will continue for a long time, and we at Santong Entertainment will also be the beneficiaries."

"Last year, the total box office revenue of movies exceeded 10 billion yuan, an increase of 4 billion yuan compared to the year before, an increase of nearly 80 percentage points."

"The movies produced by Santong Entertainment received 2.5 billion, accounting for 25% of the total."

"This is because our market is developing too fast, the audience's demand for movies is huge, and the supply is less than the demand."

“This situation will continue for the next ten years until every small city has multiple cinemas.”

"There are always new audiences joining us. As long as you can cheat, rob and coax them, you can make money."

"The problem is, this money will destroy our future generations and dig up the roots of the film industry."

“When the market is saturated, all of this will have to be returned.”

One executive said: "We can't match the quality of the products of the Locomotive brand. Not everyone has your level."

Shen Santong said: "So we have to draw a boundary. The level can be poor, but it must not be bad."

"It's just that the quality is a problem. The audience will be disappointed at most, but not disgusted."

An executive asked, “How do you tell what is bad?”

Shen Sanyong used a PPT presentation: "To know what is bad, we must first admit one thing: our cultural field is full of designed information."

“What is designed is man-made.”

“Man is first of all a man in society, a man in social existence, a man in production relations.”

“For example, a movie made by a person will naturally reflect production relations, unless they are deliberately avoided.”

“But that’s not the case in our current culture.”

"When we look at literature, can we find any serious literature related to industry? No. Hometown, rural areas, stealing widows, and Tongjian are all these."

"The same is true for public opinion. The entertainment industry is full of traces of being set up."

"There are many reasons, including historical reasons that can be traced back to modern history, and other reasons."

“If I were to say what had the greatest impact, and the difference between internal contradictions and contradictions between ourselves and the enemy, I think it was the rise of neoliberalism in the 1980s.”

"In order to allow Milijian capital to soar and plunder the world market at will, this is also called globalization. This globalization is a more objective description of objective phenomena."

"In fact, we should add a qualifier: the globalization of a few interest groups and the globalization of the US dollar."

"In order to achieve this, local organizational structures, local production relations, must be dismantled so that Milijian capital can flow freely."

"That is, it is an artificial international division of labor. We produce industrial products, it produces raw materials, the United States and the European Union consume them. The European Union also produces, but the United States mainly consumes them."

"In order to achieve this, national barriers must be generally removed, which leads to the idea of ​​'borderless', science without borders, capital without borders, culture without borders, movies without borders, world citizens and so on."

"He doesn't even recognize his own parents and ancestors, and he can't even tell whose grave he's crying at."

“The incongruities in our culture come from this, serving the narrative of tearing down homes and destroying the country, and are not self-originated, but arise from our production relations.”

"In terms of movies, it ranges from evaluation criteria, production model to content."

"For example, film reviews focus on the binary opposition between business and art, but do not discuss issues from the perspective of production and returns, and rarely from the perspective of genre films."

“Because if we think from the perspective of production relations, we have to organize production, and so we have organizational forms.”

"In terms of content, it is subconscious criticism, subconscious demolition, and taking pride in who is the most destructive, under the euphemism of daring to speak the truth and not fearing power."

“This is not just simple thinking, there are also production relations.”

"A large amount of external money is spent here every year, which is Milijian's own 'victorious experience'."

"Spending a lot of money, thinking it's a good idea, having a strong sense of faith."

"Such behavior objectively realizes globalization, which is also good for us, as we can jump into the international market and use better resources."

"We are walking the most difficult road. We have walked for sixty years to get to this day."

“Becoming the foundation of global industry.”

"In the future, we may not necessarily produce the products, but the raw materials for industry will have to come from us. To get to this point, we must go through a low period, which means we will have to eat coarse food and not make any money, and work for the whole world for free."

"In layman's terms, it means practicing the Star Absorbing Technique to absorb the world's industries to our place."

"For the West to engage in finance, it is best to industrialize. It is easy to go from poverty to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. If you want to industrialize again, you can't go back."

"This process is bound to be very painful. You have to be patient and work overtime."

"There are all kinds of noise, all kinds of denials, all kinds of theories."

"At the same time, it's great that we are carrying out the largest industrialization in human history."

“The day it is completed will surely be a new starting point in human history, the starting point of our creation!”

"Whether mankind can reach the stars, the greatest hope lies in us, because only we can organize an industrial population of billions."

"You can't do it just by working hard. Cost advantage is just one of the comparative advantages."

"Forget about low labor costs. There are many countries with low human life costs, but they haven't developed yet."

"Fortunately, we are lucky. The most difficult times have passed, and now we have basically become the largest industrial country."

00年突破10万亿元，06年突破20万亿元，此后以每1年至2年便突破一个10万亿元关口的速度发展。

14年、16年、17年、18年、20年，国内生产总值相继跨越60万亿元、70万亿元、80万亿元、90万亿元、100万亿元大关。

This is what is called the general trend.

Like mercury pouring on the ground or the Milky Way falling from the sky, once formed, it is irreversible.

Shen Santong summarized it with a clearer standard: "So what is good? Good means serving our interests and serving our production relations."

"Being bad means tearing up families, creating divisions and contradictions, creating divisions out of nothing, and destroying all forms of organization, from family to society."

"Under this system, the most ideal role is to be a comprador, to be the channel and hub for Milijian's capital and consciousness."

"If you want to do good things, the road is not easy. What the fifth generation directors have been doing is using our aesthetic shell to make films that conform to Western ideology."

"We measured our resources in exchange for the favor of the outside world. This was determined by the film production relations at the time."

"In the sixth generation, they eat whatever is pulled out from outside. It is no longer a simple production relationship. Even if we have a market, they will not consider it."

“They are alienated.”

"At this level, there are a lot of stock advantages and a lot of theories. The only thing we can rely on is the industry and the audience."

“But at the same time, the future is incredibly bright.”

"Because we are oppressed so harshly, we eat grass and get milk, but they don't even let us have fun!"

“That is to say, works that demonstrate cultural confidence and cohesion are necessarily scarce.”

"Because of the existing stock and existing advantages in this field, as well as the other party's continuous investment, this suppression will exist for a long time."

"This means that as long as we resist the pressure, we can have a non-monopoly in terms of content."

“Others are domesticated, but we are the only ones who can provide non-prescriptive, naturally generated works.”

"What we need to do in the next five years is to learn from Hollywood's more mature industrial film processes and combine them with our own industrial capabilities."

"We are producing films that have at their core our Eastern thoughts and spirits."

"As we step out of modern history and re-enter the center of the world, we should give the public a spiritual massage and tell everyone that flowers will hang on the branches and tomorrow will be better."

"As for who will breed and who will water, we need to have a sense of space, just like our predecessors on the peninsula, interspersed and surrounded, and everyone does their own thing."

"In short, believe that flowers are hanging on the branches!"
