New Age Artists

Chapter 587: "Education" of Han Sanping, the attack of Liu Tao
This July, "Transformers 3", "Wolf Tooth" and "Harry Potter" are all great films that will be screened together, bringing unprecedented satisfaction to the audience.

It was a bomb in the industry.

"Wolf Fang" fought one against two and was far ahead, bringing great shock and excitement to all practitioners.

This time there was no luck at all, and no one was taking sides, and Hollywood was introduced in big strides.

"Transformers 3" and "Harry Potter" are different from previously imported films. As long as the producers send them over, they will be released, and they can be released simultaneously around the world.

"Wolf Fang" was on the front battlefield, upright, with five fingers clenched into a fist, and fiercely collided with the Hollywood blockbusters, fighting one against two. Especially in the second week, when "Harry Potter" played against "Wolf Fang" in the first week and the second week, it still beat the opponent fiercely.

Shen Santong’s previous movies received some attention during the summer season, and this time he took a head-on approach and won the battle.

As a movie, a phenomenal movie has its social influence.

In the July movie war, everything happened in full view of the public. "Wolf Tooth" is the first domestically produced military action blockbuster, and even the first modern military action blockbuster in Chinese. If "The Shallows" is a bit sunny, relaxing, and shows the vitality after the financial crisis, "Wolf Tooth" is another kind of sunny temperament.

It is a tough, masculine sunshine, full of masculine aura, and is the most true portrayal of the vibrant development of the entire society.

In the face of such achievements, Shen Santong's seemingly "out-of-line" remarks and controversies such as his criticism of the Golden Horse Awards are nothing at all.

Although it is a bit utilitarian, victory can indeed solve all problems, especially victory on the cultural battlefield, which is so satisfying!

"Unprecedented! Unprecedented!"

Han Sanping was very excited.

I have been attending various meetings these days with a beaming face.

He vented his anger by releasing all the Hollywood imported films together. Pirated copies appeared half a month or even a month after the global premiere, and then they were released in China. He didn't want this situation to happen!
All the major domestic cinema chains were always looking for trouble with him and were very dissatisfied with him. The pressure on him was enormous.

Blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents. Many cinema chains have submitted black materials to relevant departments, and some people inside have cooperated in this effort to split up China Film.

People abroad are also making up dirt on him every day and putting pressure on him in various ways.

It doesn't matter which one they are, and they are all talented. Wanda has long been very dissatisfied with China Film Group's control over the scheduling of imported films.

But is it simply a matter of money?

Hollywood film producers can contact theaters themselves, but what can Chinese films do?

Han Sanping didn't expect to see this scene before retirement.

"Shen Santong and I are so awesome!"

It is destined that he will leave a mark in the history of Chinese cinema.

Compared to fame and fortune, what he wants is to be able to make Chinese films well.

No matter how powerful Hollywood is, it means nothing if it is not their own and the movie is not labeled "China".

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and run around.

Domestic filmmakers are either ignorant of the world and as immature as children, or become complacent and bossy after achieving a little success, which is to say, they act like bullies in their own circle.

Not to mention going abroad, how many companies can stand up to Hollywood movies in their home country?

It’s understandable that blockbusters can’t be made well, but how many people can make a movie about daily life or a simple comedy?
"Wolf Tooth" is not a comedy with cultural barriers, but a military action blockbuster. Hollywood movies are also being released with full force. As the head of China Film, he is certainly aware of this.

To be more aware of the undercurrent, just as banks have extreme risk tests, this year the film industry also had extreme tests.

There has been no such practical test before, not because we don’t want to, but because the film industry is lagging behind!

There is no need to test.

If we can withstand the most extreme situations, take a big step away from Hollywood movies, show an open attitude, and at the same time squeeze out all the capabilities of the domestic film industry, China and foreign countries will fully collide, compete, communicate and integrate, and ultimately present unprecedented cultural products.

Using the power of the industry may not be able to clear away the chaos in public opinion, but it will also be good for society to have different voices.

In comparison, the interests in the negotiations are just a small matter, and it is good that Shen Santong has this intention.

A big country must, after all, take care of its own internal affairs.

Of course, Han Sanping doesn't think that Hollywood has failed.

After all, that's Hollywood. They've been developing for many years and their production is very mature.

"Xiao Shen."

Looking at the time, it was less than eight o'clock in the morning. Han Sanping thought that the roadshow should not have started yet, so he called Shen Santong.

I feel the need to cool down Shen Santong: "Wolf Fang" is a huge box office success, what do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas." After receiving the call, Shen Santong was leading his team to start a new day of roadshow.

He got up today before the sun came out.

Success, for him, is something he's already used to.

Excellence has penetrated into our bones.

Calm.

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment. No, the rhythm was wrong.

He said: "How can you not have any ideas? You took the initiative to let go of the big step. Now you have really survived July. This is an incredible achievement!"

Shen Santong shook his head and said, "We have the cultural advantage of being at home, and I have so many movies to back me up. There's nothing to be proud of! Winning is natural, but losing is shameful."

Shen Santong plans to desensitize Old Han as well!

We can't be unconfident!

Not only must you be confident, but you must also have the determination. As the head of China Film Group, you can no longer just defend yourself, you must dare to attack!
"If we really want to talk about achievements, I think it will be an achievement when Chinese-language films can compete with Hollywood in overseas markets, in the EU and North America!"

"We have not yet determined the definition of Chinese-language films. We need to let the small cultural circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan know as soon as possible. They should be happy to have a good father."

"Not only the Chinese language, but also the right to define the Chinese civilization circle must be gradually taken back. China has risen, and other derivative civilizations must quickly return to their place."

"In the future, we must slowly gain the right to define the beauty of humanity and universal values. Now that the sun is out, the little light from the lighthouse should not be a stunner."

"'Universal values' is such a good word, but it has become stinky because of some people."

Shen Santong instilled lofty ideals in Han Sanping.

With so many things happening at home and abroad, Chinese-language films have yet to recover. The victory is only temporary, and it’s just the beginning.

Don't slack off!
Can you stop struggling when you reach a certain age?

Fifty-eight or fifty-nine, still the prime of life!

Don't you want to join the ministry?
Han Sanping: “.”

The word is his.

Shen Santong felt that the breathing on the other end of the phone became heavier. It seemed to be very effective.

make persistent efforts!

Even this young man is walking on thin ice and trembling with fear!
The premise of looking up at the stars is to keep one's feet on the ground. Shen Santong said calmly: "The situation of domestic films is still not optimistic. Although I have suppressed "Transformers 3" and "Harry Potter", the box office is definitely not as good as the other two combined. The box office in July still depends on other domestic films."

"It's not a good thing for Santong Entertainment to be the only one doing well now. I think China Film Group and the bureau should come up with policies to support other forces and let them catch up."

"We at Santong Entertainment will definitely help if we can. I have never hidden anything. It is not difficult to sell a movie well. If you make the audience feel comfortable and satisfied and show beautiful things, the box office will come."

"Wolf Tooth proves that we, the audience, are very 'high-class'. The heroine suffered a tragedy, but the audience can understand, as long as she is not abused. According to some directors, Shen Yuechan (the heroine) in Wolf Tooth must have been abused. This cannot be done. She died for a good cause, her sacrifice was valuable, and she was captured to save others, which is not a war crime. We, the audience, can understand."

“What a great audience!”

Shen Santong meant what he said.

He has always been unwilling to monopolize the content. The monopoly on content is purely because others are too incompetent, which is a very strange phenomenon.

"The fact that our production level is still lagging behind cannot be ignored."

Shen Santong was talking about this.

Han Sanping said, "Ouch!" "Santong, I have a meeting here suddenly. When you return to BJ, we can talk again."

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.

So angry!

After hanging up the phone, Han Sanping was speechless.

Why does this little bastard Shen Santong always steal his words?

One hundred percent intentional!
Sneak attack!

Seeing the phone was hung up, Shen Santong smacked his lips, still feeling unsatisfied.

"Who's calling?" Wang Zhi beside him asked curiously. Shen Santong looked a little boastful, which was unusual for him.

"Director Han sent us his congratulations."

Shen Santong looked out the window at a 45-degree angle and said confidently and domineeringly: "Who dares to claim to be invincible? Who dares to claim to be undefeated? Even Hollywood blockbusters can't do that!"

Wang Zhi's heart couldn't help but tremble. His powerful strength, firm belief, and aura alone made it impossible for her to escape.

She knew that Shen Santong was very romantic outside, and there were many people in the company who were involved, and it was no secret that he was with her senior schoolmate.

According to her personality, she could not accept this kind of relationship, but it was always difficult for her to reject Shen Santong.

The other person has a strong smell of hormones and a heroic air.

He was invincible when he debuted, and now he suppresses all enemies with his invincibility, even Hollywood.

Many people in major film and television companies and theaters have not slept well these days.

How can domestic films be so strong?
Not scientific!
In many people's minds, domestic films are not as good as Hollywood blockbusters.

Even though Shen Santong's films had been huge hits one after another, no one thought they could beat Hollywood.

The king of summer season?
Are Hollywood blockbusters released simultaneously?
You dare to claim to be king!
The king of commercial films?
It’s just a small pool of domestic entertainment!
There are many turtles in shallow water!
Domestic movies are just not as good as Hollywood movies!
Dongda movies are just not as good as American movies!
These concepts are imprinted in the minds of many practitioners like a stamp of thought!
Even if one day the domestic film market might surpass that of the United States, they would not dare to do so.

That is usurpation.

How can the University of Tokyo surpass the United States? How can the University of Tokyo surpass the United States? How dare the University of Tokyo surpass the United States?

If it is, reality must be wrong, and it cannot be.

Therefore, even if the opportunity comes, many people will not seize it. Even if Hollywood reveals weakness, it will not have the idea of ​​taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

The knee is nailed to the floor!
However, at this moment, "Wolf Fang" defeated "Transformers 3" and "Harry Potter" head-on.

Some people feel their spirit is broken.

"The nest is full of chaos!"

Wang Zhonglei saw a report that belittled Huayi and praised Santong Entertainment. It was obviously a water army!
He said disdainfully: "Can Europe and the United States enter? They can only earn RMB."

We all earn RMB, so who is nobler than who?

"Okay, everyone has their own way." Wang Zhongjun stopped scolding his brother.

no need.

Huayi has embarked on a more glorious path.

How big is the scale of making movies?
The six major Hollywood companies don't have much, and they still make money in the Internet and real estate. Not only movies, but also entertainment are small-scale.

In the past, Huayi was concerned about Shen Santong’s influence in the industry. However, as Huayi begins to transform, the gap between it and Shen Santong will become increasingly larger in the future.

"But we can give you good news. If Santong Entertainment increases in price, we will follow suit." Wang Zhongjun smiled. Even though he doesn't like movies, it doesn't mean he won't take advantage of the benefits.

Buy more Internet startups, just one that succeeds.

The sun is blazing in the East, and in Hollywood, far across the ocean, the nightlife is just beginning.

A high-end private villa in California on the West Coast.

A party reached its climax.

As the atmosphere became thick, those in ritual robes still wore masks.

The people wearing other clothes had no covering at all, and there were many famous Hollywood stars, young actors and actresses among them.

A man holding a cane symbolizing power walked into the field and selected the lucky person for today.

Soon someone gave an injection to the lucky ones selected today.

This is a relaxant that can keep a person conscious but incapable of movement.

Can see everything that happens, but can only watch.

There are also some bad things. Fortunately, many people have cleared their intestines before entering the venue, so their intestines are unobstructed.

A carnival begins.

Do anything to the chosen person and completely release the desires in your heart.

The pure white floor stalls and tablecloths were stained with all kinds of filth.

The party is still going on. This kind of large party often lasts for several days.

A few people wearing masks relaxed and went upstairs. Among the people wearing masks, they are also the dominant and sober ones.

When they got upstairs, they looked down at the revelry and chaotic crowd below like gods.

They chatted about their respective information and the project resources at hand.

Some projects were finalized in a few words, and priority was given to those who were close to the circle.

“The voices that are hitting Wall Street are spreading.”

"Those vampires should be made to suffer."

As we chatted, we talked about the University of Tokyo.

"Damn it! We have cultivated this market for many years, but we only got a very low share. Now we are in danger of being taken away."

"Where did that Shen come from? Is he the Chen from that year?" The person sitting at the edge thought of Chen Kaige.

I heard of his name a few years ago. He was one of the few filmmakers from Tokyo University, and he made them feel embarrassed.

"Bill, go out more often and don't stay in the manor. Dongda is changing very fast. Chen is still within the scope we set. He is not someone who can jump out. Shen is different. He is less than 30 years old, but he has already made more than a dozen movies, two a year. He is Spielberg, with an enhanced version of DreamWorks and Twitter under his control."

"Shit, does Dongda allow such a monopoly?"

“That’s how we play, too.”

"But we have cross-shareholdings, and they don't even pretend to do that. How barbaric!"

"This man is unstoppable and is the biggest obstacle to our entry into Hollywood movies. It is difficult to eliminate him using methods within the rules," someone suggested.

“Did he cross the line?”

"No."

"Then we can't cross the rules. This is the boundary." The person in the middle added: "At least we can't cross it openly."

"Does he have any favorite Hollywood stars? We can give him a list. If they are not on the list, we can also find a way." Someone suggested while looking at the ceremony scene below.

"I don't think he would give up his career for a woman."

Someone chuckled: "No one asked him to give up his career, and no one will hurt him. He is so determined now, but he has never seen the real world and the real power of money. Dongda has too many restrictions on him, and good kids are most likely to go astray."

The person sitting on the far right uttered, "Don't put too much effort into it. Just give him a pill and he won't be able to go back. It's completely within the rules."

"It takes time. He gave all the North American movies to the official Dongda company, that Han."

"Shit! You little rascal!" When someone heard Han Sanping's name, they immediately cursed: "Dongda Market is unfair to us! It violated the promise we made back then!"

"Now it's Shen who's shouting that we're not competing fairly."

"Where are our people at Dongda?"

"They did a good job. Our movies have been released smoothly this year, and it will probably become a routine in the future. Transformers 3 grossed over million dollars, and the Tokyo market is too big, growing by to percentage points every year. You've made a fortune." As he spoke, he looked at a person next to him, who was one of Paramount's shareholders.

"The agreement we are negotiating this year requires a higher share of the profits. It would be best if we fully liberalize the deal and suppress Shen. They care about the overall situation the most."

“It’s difficult, almost impossible to touch, even for us not to make random accusations.”

"What?" Someone frowned. It was unheard of to be so tough.

"If there is no output promised, there will be no output. Shen Santong's movie does not contain the promised content." Someone said simply.

“Is this the final result?”

"Yes. But we should be able to talk about it. They are all realists."

After some analysis, I found that the Tokyo University is surprisingly tough. Even if we negotiate, we will have to pay a huge price.

It is definitely not okay to sacrifice their interests.

"It seems that we need to put some pressure on the owner of the White House."

"He has a hobby, and a new round of fundraising is about to begin."

"The agent is P. Diddy, and they are very close."

"Ha, Harvey's part in killing Larry's husband?" Someone laughed, but his eyes looked down from above and glanced down.

This is the rule. They can't do anything to the people from the University of Tokyo, but they can do something to their own spokespersons, and their spokespersons can push the people from the University of Tokyo.

That's the rule.

Entering the third week, "Wolf Fang" regrouped and headed to representative second- and third-tier cities.

The box office of "Wolf Tooth" is booming in second- and third-tier cities, and has stronger potential than in first-tier cities!
Take the elderly and children to the movies.

It feels a bit like recreating the grand occasion of those years.

For paid services, the most important thing is the experience, not the mess. The quality of "Wolf Fang" can be said to be universal.

In a few years, cinema chains will spring up everywhere in third- and fourth-tier cities, and 5 billion will be a small goal.

BJ.

“Finally I have the chance to use this antenna!”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Tao was extremely excited.

The Wolf Fang crew had an event in Nanchang and were looking for local celebrities to help out. Liu Tao happened to be from there, and someone familiar with her at Deep Sea Culture told her the news.

Liu Tao immediately took the initiative and seized this opportunity.

It is very difficult to meet Shen Santong. Nowadays, Shen Santong seldom attends private parties and gatherings.

How many female stars are heartbroken!
The only possibility for the working relationship is to act in Shen Santong’s movie, nothing else is possible!

As idol dramas became more mainstream, Shen Santong no longer prioritized Deepsea Culture, which was responsible for artist affairs, let alone ordinary stars.

Santong Entertainment does not rely on the big director + big star model, but content is king. Shen Santong is capable of doing it himself. Even the affairs of the company's top stars cannot be put on Shen Santong's desk.

Liu Tao said that he had a film contract with Deep Sea Culture, but the level of their work was far different.

There is no chance to make friends.

This time I finally have a chance.

It’s not Liu Tao’s fault that he was so anxious, but her current situation was really bad.

As early as three years ago, in early 08, when her career was on the rise, she chose to get married and had no interest in filming.

She was so excited that year that she captured Wang Ke, one of the four young masters of Beijing.

No one could have imagined that the prince who was so glorious at that time was actually rotten inside.

The grand ceremony of the wedding is still vivid in my mind.

The wedding was held at the Peninsula Hotel in Beijing and was extremely luxurious, costing more than 400 million yuan.

The scene became a famous car exhibition, with two Rolls-Royces, a Lamborghini LP640, two 599s, a Ferrari f430, s65 and so on.

They booked two entire floors of the Peninsula Hotel Wangfu, and attended by celebrities including Lin Xinru, Li Xinjie, Qin Hailu, Hu Jun, Yang Kun and others.

The scenery is infinite.

Who would have thought that Wang Ke’s so-called 20 billion worth was actually fake, and he was just playing a high-leverage game to make money out of nothing.

Going out with luxury cars and beautiful women, and paying attention to the pomp and circumstance, is actually a job requirement.

With the help of the reputation of "One of the Four Young Masters of Beijing", he made friends in both the entertainment industry and other circles.

At the same time, pay attention to building your image, creating the impression that you have a strong background, can get information in advance from your network of connections, and are great at making money through investments.

He is generous and has all kinds of real and fake backgrounds, so he is very popular in the entertainment industry.

Then there are handsome men and beautiful women, so naturally other circles also welcome him.

In a nutshell, he is a middleman who integrates resources from several parties, gets some information from this circle, and then tells that information to that circle.

Over time, your network will gradually build up.

Liu Tao has done research on this himself, so it is impossible for him not to do research on this. This has almost become a source of worry for him.

I have thought about it more than once, was it because Wang Ke had financial problems at the time, but was afraid that the investors would redeem their money, so he married her?

The financial crisis broke out before the wedding, but those in the financial circle must have felt it early, especially those on the outside.

She was such a strong-willed person, but now she has become the biggest joke.

I thought he was a rich son-in-law, but who could have imagined he was a heavy weight!

The plane flew across the sky.

Liu Tao specifically postponed his schedule and flew back to his hometown.

Looking at the sky below, she felt extremely complicated when she thought about the rumors that Shen Santong had made a fortune during the financial crisis and compared it with her own experience.

Also full of expectations.
