Huayu09: Starting with Hijacking Xiao Shenyang

"Yes, yes, yes, Yifei is now an international movie star, and her value is naturally much higher than before. Moreover, a company of Benshan Media's size is not comparable to the small Tangren."

Cai Yinong nodded repeatedly, adopting a very humble posture.

As clear as day, Liu Xiaoli just wanted to vent her anger, so let her vent it.

Firstly, Tang Ren will not lose a piece of his flesh.

Secondly, the mother and daughter's decision to ditch their godfather and side with Benshan Media makes them someone Tang Ren can't afford to mess with.

Cai Yinong is not afraid of Chen, who is rich, but she is afraid of Zhao, who has top-notch resources and connections in the industry.

"This must be Miss Liu Shishi, right?"

Ma Lijuan looked at the blind woman who kept her head down.

"Yes...yes, hello Teacher Ma."

Liu Shishi said hastily.

"Yes, even resembling her by a third would make one an absolute beauty."

While Ma Lijuan appeared to be praising Liu Shishi, she was actually giving Liu Yifei a huge compliment.

Didn't you say you were a mini Liu Yifei?

That's fine.

Teacher Ma stamps your name on it, even if it resembles her a little, it's not her at all, just a high-quality fake.

These words were spoken.

Cai Yinong raised her glass and smiled, Liu Shishi's face flushed, and Liu Xiaoli gave a crazy thumbs up.

It's you again, sister.

One sentence can kill the game!

The main table.

Chen Mo was still holding Liu Yifei's little hand, but it was under the table and didn't attract anyone's attention.

"Benshan, 'A Simple Noodle Story' was completely crushed by 'Project Gutenberg,' and it was pulled from theaters in a sorry state a few days ago. Its total box office was only over 6000 million, leaving it with nothing. Zhang Weiping has also faced unprecedented ridicule." Wang Zhongjun leaned back strategically, feeling a surge of satisfaction. Then, he changed the subject, "However, Zhang Yimou has learned his lesson and is preparing to return to his comfort zone. He is currently preparing to shoot an art-house romance film, 'Under the Hawthorn Tree.' It is said that he will be holding a nationwide search for a 'Zhang Yimou Girl.' Hehe, I guess it's Zhang Weiping's idea again, to create hype in advance through casting."

"Under the Hawthorn Tree" is adapted from the novel of the same name. The copyright was originally held by Zhang Dahuzi, but was later snatched away by Zhang Yimou.

In the original timeline, this film was a pure love art film that Zhang Weiping rewarded Zhang Yimou with after the box office success of the fast-paced comedy film "A Simple Noodle Story," aiming to win awards.

The film ultimately grossed 1.45 million RMB, won the Huabiao Award for Best Feature Film, and its lead actress, Zhou Dongyu, won Best Actress at a Spanish B-category film festival, as well as numerous nominations both domestically and internationally.

It can be considered an art film that achieved both box office and award success.

The situation in this timeline is completely different. "A Simple Noodle Story" suffered both critical and commercial failure. In order to salvage his reputation, Zhang Yimou had no choice but to return to his comfort zone. For New Pictures, this was also the safest option.

however.

Chen, who is the least vengeful and silent, will not let the two Zhangs have their way.

He had previously mocked the master and apprentice, then got drunk and smacked his old mentor on the head, framed him, and even angered his old mentor so much that he was hospitalized and almost lost his life.

Would Chen Mo let them off so easily?!

"Hmm~"

Liu Yifei gave a soft snort, quickly covered her mouth with her other hand, and then glanced sideways at the scoundrel.

If you want to hold hands, then hold hands.

Why did you suddenly use so much force?

"Xiao Mo, what's wrong?"

Cheng Long asked softly.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to sabotage Zhang Yimou's new movie."

Chen Mo said lightly.

quiet!

The private room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone in China knows that Benshan Media and New Pictures are locked in a bitter and irreconcilable conflict, and that New Pictures was in the wrong first by actively targeting Benshan Media's "Peerless".

Although he ultimately reaped the consequences, he was still Zhang Yimou.

The only national director in the Chinese film industry, second only to Li An in status as a supreme deity.

Having won by sheer luck, one should have stopped while one was ahead.

Why are they still chasing after me?

The failure of "A Simple Noodle Story" was due to its attempt to do something new, while "Under the Hawthorn Tree" was Zhang Yimou's most comfortable area.

The novel *My Father and Mother* has already proven this point.

With a large enough audience base, the quality is beyond question.

"You brat, have you thought this through?!"

Zhao Benshan broke the silence.

He didn't object verbally, but smiled and his eyes gleamed. Teacher Zhao was kind, but that didn't mean everyone could bully him. He still vividly remembered the grudge from the nod. Since his apprentice wanted to fight for his master again, his old mentor naturally agreed to form a leadership team unconditionally.

"I've thought it through, Master. Benshan Media isn't made of clay. Since they've started this war, we must be prepared to fight to the death. There's no reason to call a truce before raising the white flag. So what if it's Zhang Yimou? Should we, master and disciple, avoid his sharp edge?"

Chen Mo's words were arrogant.

But he also had the right to be arrogant. The people at the large table only thought that Chen Mo was too impulsive, not that he was overestimating himself.

"Hahaha, very good, very good, you truly are worthy of being my disciple."

Zhao Benshan laughed heartily, tilted his head back, and downed the wine in his glass.

"Damn, that's tough! No wonder he's the successor I've chosen. Big brother, here's a replacement!"

Jiang Wen and the others raised their glasses.

"Xiao Mo, are you ready to use 'Black Coal, Thin Ice' to beat up his 'Under the Hawthorn Tree'?"

Jackie Chan also admires spirited young people, like those who practice kung fu and participate in sports competitions, who have an inherent competitive spirit of "I am the only one who can compete."

Why am I inferior to Bruce Lee?

Why can't I win the championship?

A person with an indomitable spirit is more likely to achieve success.

Successful people are not arrogant; they are humble.

This is inhumane.

It's either hypocrisy or a persona created by the team.

of course.

Chinese people generally appreciate a humble and reserved personality. No matter how high you stand or how much influence you have, you must be gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest. This is not wrong, but how many people can actually do it?

Keyboard warriors are best at this.

Be strict with others, but lenient with yourself.

"No, no, no." Chen Mo shook his head. "Although 'Black Coal, Thin Ice' is an art film, its subject matter is urban crime and suspense."

"You also want to make an art-house romance film?"

Cheng Long chuckled and pressed on, his admiration growing even stronger.

Sniper!

It should be warriors against warriors, archers against archers, and mages against mages.

That's more exciting!

That's the only way to make the opponent accept defeat wholeheartedly!

"Yes."

Chen Mo nodded without hesitation.

You're not convinced that "A Simple Noodle Story" lost.

Okay!

Let's go head-to-head again, targeting the same type of product and the same release date.

It's about beating you in your area of ​​expertise!

If you mess with Benshan Media, you're doomed for life.

"Clap clap clap!" Jiang Wen couldn't help but clap his hands and then gave a thumbs up, "Awesome~~~ Xiao Mo, you're sniping Zhang Yimou, your Uncle Wen has to help you out no matter what."

"Benshan Xiaomo, Huayi owes Benshan Media a huge favor regarding the 'The Message' project. If you have any needs, just let us know."

The Beijing circle and the Northwest circle have always been rivals but have never truly broken apart.

now.

With Benshan Media leading the charge, several bigwigs in the Beijing entertainment circle didn't want to miss this opportunity to gang up on their old rival.

"Uncle Wen, Mr. and Mrs. Wang, Benshan Media has taken note of what you said today. But after all, he is Zhang Yimou. To be honest, I only dared to speak with a bit of courage and hatred in my heart. In reality, I am not very confident. Benshan Media and New Pictures have an irreconcilable relationship. You don't need to get involved and make things too tense."

Chen Mo's every word was for everyone's benefit, but in reality, he just didn't want to share the money.

He was absolutely certain that he could succeed in targeting the film "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

Not only "Under the Hawthorn Tree," but also "The Flowers of War" arranged a package deal for the two Zhangs.

A very serious movie, a very serious matter.

You fucking have to use sex scenes for publicity.

It's really happening!

Also.

This kind of film should awaken the Chinese people, especially the younger generation, to never forget the national humiliation and to remember the path we have come from.

After finishing a film, ask yourself first, "Can my children watch it?" Zhang Yimou has indeed upheld his professional ethics, which can be considered a last glimmer of the spirit of a scholar.

Three highly targeted attacks suggest that the two Zhangs might be about to break off their relationship prematurely.

"That brat is right. This is a battle between Benshan Media and New Pictures. Everyone should just watch the show and not get involved and get burned."

Zhao Benshan firmly stood by his youngest apprentice.

Even if we lose, let's lose spectacularly and cleanly, so as not to cause trouble for outsiders.
