That year Huayu

It seems that Jiang Wen has really learned a little lesson from "One Step Away" this time. That is, you can't eat alone with a big budget, it's easy to "choke" yourself.

On the bank of the Huangpu River, when Lin Nan and Ning Hao arrived, there were at least 20 film and television companies on the scene, and there were also many actors and stars in the circle, probably brought in to embellish the atmosphere.

If each company can pay 20 million, the 400 million that Jiang Wen wants will be a piece of cake;

But no one's money comes from the wind, and Director Jiang really failed miserably last time, leaving everyone with lingering fears.

The most important point is that Jiang Wen seems to have only made two commercial films in all these years, and it's hard to say that he is a great director of commercial films;

After all, "Let the Bullets Fly" made money and had a great reputation, but what about "One Step Away"? If it wasn't guaranteed, Jiang Wen would have to pay out several times the money!

So the attitude of film and television investors in the circle towards Jiang Wen is really a bit ambiguous at this moment, both love and fear! The key is that Jiang Wen's favor is not necessarily worth that much money.

"Alas, it's just that Director Jiang Wen has face and can invite Director Lin to attend the cocktail party."

"The film festival has been opened for several days, and Director Lin has not come out to gather with everyone once. It seems that he has only appeared at the opening ceremony and Weibo Movie Night, two large public events?"

"Tudou has been very busy recently. I guess Director Lin has also been "harassed" by many people, haha..."

There was an endless stream of people greeting Lin Nan, and he could only smile and nod in response to everyone, and he couldn't come one by one.

Zhou Yun came over to greet Lin Nan and Ning Hao in person, while Jiang Wen and Ma Ke were busy "bragging" with a group of film and television company bosses, and the content was "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice".

"Sister Yun, go and do your work, don't worry about us, we two will do it ourselves." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Okay, we'll start when everyone is here. There's a luncheon at noon. Oh, by the way, do you want to call Yifei to come over too?" Zhou Yun asked Lin Nan carefully.

"No, she's out for a walk with Shu Chang and Han Jianu."

"Oh, then don't bother her. Have fun. But today I really trouble Director Lin and Director Ning to come and show their support. I'll have to toast you two separately later."

"No trouble, I'm just sitting around doing nothing." Ning Hao said with a smile and raised the champagne in his hand.

Not long after, Lin Nan and Ning Hao took their glasses to the French window to see the scenery.

They came to show their support and were too lazy to listen to Jiang Wen's "fooling". It's a pity that this guy doesn't do pyramid selling.

However, everyone at the scene is smart, and they have a lot of resistance and distrust towards Jiang Wen. It's almost impossible to get money from them.

Looking out, the banquet hall on the 20th floor is just outside the scenic Bund, and the former foreign land is right at your feet.

"Director Lin, Director Ning?"

A soft call made Lin Nan and Ning Hao, who were chatting and enjoying the scenery, turn their heads subconsciously. It was Yang Shoucheng who arrived!

At this moment, Lin Nan couldn't help but want to scold Jiang Wen. He really did something "unfair". It was shameful.

At the beginning, Ying Huang spent a total of 60 million to help Jiang Wen and took over the art film "The Sun Also Rises" which was almost unfinished because of Jiang Wen's extravagance and other investors ran away midway;

In the end, the movie lost a lot of money, but Ying Huang didn't complain.

When it came to the first commercial film "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen shamelessly spoke to Yang Shoucheng again.

Due to his appreciation of Jiang Wen's talent, Yang Shoucheng chose to continue to believe and support him and invested another 150 million.

This time the movie made a lot of money, and the box office and word of mouth soared!

The original ridicule of Bole and Qianlima had spread in the industry, but the subsequent "One Step Away" instantly shattered this "good story".

The reason was that Yang Shoucheng took the initiative to find Jiang Wen and wanted to participate in "One Step Away"; but Director Jiang was too proud and wanted to eat alone, so he rejected Yang Shoucheng.

Well, man proposes, God disposes. "One Step Away" really lost a lot of money in one step, and there was not even a person who could share the debt!

"Director Yang, what are you doing?"

Lin Nan joked with a hint of meaning, and Ning Hao also had an "incredible" smile on his face. He really didn't expect Yang Shoucheng to come.

"Didn't Jiang Wen send an invitation? I came here just thinking about it."

Yang Shoucheng naturally guessed the thoughts of the two big directors in front of him, but he didn't care at all.

"How much willingness?" Lin Nan paused and asked seriously.

"Willingness? It's definitely impossible to take care of it all. Although Yinghuang is a listed company, a listed company is also empty with an investment of 400 million yuan."

To be honest, at this moment, Lin Nan really admired Lao Yang a little bit. He really "favored" Jiang Wen for so many years!

"Mr. Yang is most likely the one with the greatest investment intention at the scene today." Ning Hao said to Yang Shoucheng in a low voice.

"Well, this is a good thing. I have always believed in his talent." Yang Shoucheng smiled knowingly, as if he was relieved a lot?

"Yeah, true love!"

Watching the back of Lao Yang walking into the crowd, Ning Hao couldn't help but joked with Lin Nan.

At 10:30 in the morning, all the guests finally arrived.

And Jiang Wen picked up the red wine, stood on the stage, and began his formal "speech", well, just missing a PPT.

"The background of "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" is still the Republic of China, which is also the third part of my "Beiyang Series", the original novel "Hidden Heroes".

Don't worry, everyone, this time it's a movie, the same movie as "Let the Bullets Fly", not a 'musical'..." Jiang Wen rarely joked about himself.

"Cast? It will definitely be me starring, and the main actors will definitely be from the original cast... We will also consider the young people market..."

"...The investment budget of 400 million is actually not high for my movie, because it requires excellence. Now the Chinese film market is booming. Movies with a box office of 1 billion are already very common, and movies with a box office of 2 billion are not that big. Scenario, wouldn’t there be a movie with 3 billion?”

"I have absolute confidence in "The Righteous One". It is worthy of a box office of 2 billion, or even higher..."

Jiang Wen was talking eloquently and giving pointers. His tone, aura, demeanor, and scolding Fang Qiu with every move and every move were so full of bewitching skills that those who didn't know thought he was a "MLM leader"!

Lin Nan and Ning Hao were sitting in the far corner, drinking champagne with their legs crossed. They clapped and shouted from time to time, feeling like they were being shilled. However, Jiang Wen seemed to have indeed called them to "support" him.

He talked about it for nearly an hour. At 11:30, Director Jiang had a glass of wine to moisten his throat and he finished talking.

He may be much more powerful than the MLM leader, but the film and television capital below are not easily brainwashed!

Want to pay? Haha, think about it again, hesitate again. This embarrassing situation was not broken until a voice sounded from the scene.

"Yinghuang wants 50%, will Director Jiang give it this time?"

The scene fell silent for an instant. Everyone looked at Yang Shoucheng after hearing the sound, including Lin Nan and Ning Hao.

"Now it's confirmed, it's true love!"

The teasing voice as soft as a mosquito rang in Lin Nan's ears. Ning Hao was really bored.

Many people at the scene remembered what happened in "One Step Away" and looked at Jiang Wen jokingly.

Jiang Wen's expression was slightly startled, and then he pursed his lips bitterly, picked up a bottle of red wine next to him, and filled it up.

"Director Yang, this is my toast to you." As soon as he finished speaking, he drank it all in one breath.

With Ying Huang taking the lead, this would be easy to handle. In less than ten minutes, not a penny of the 400 million yuan was left, and all was allocated.

Among them, Jiang Wen retained part of the share for himself. This move undoubtedly doubled the trust of all investors in him.

…

In one morning, more than half of the hot searches and headlines on the Internet were suppressed, so I had the capital to put more effort into it.

At the same time, Wu Yifan's studio also officially issued an announcement, and the law firm it cooperated with also posted a lawyer's letter statement.

The statement pointed out that some media, self-media and marketing accounts were not parties to the false reports online and did not make any confirmation with Mr. Wu, so they further edited, organized, edited and falsified audio images of the false information. The act of spreading it under a number of vulgar, exaggerated, misleading and untrue titles has exceeded the limits of freedom of speech and constituted an infringement on Mr. Wu, which may lead to criminal liability...

Not to mention, under this combination of visible and invisible punches, things turned around.

Countless fans supported Wu Yifan, reporters from media outlets related to the cyber violence, and the entire Internet was full of posts calling for injustice... It was a violent scene!

After being enthusiastically sent away from the cocktail party by Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun, Lin Nan and the two hiccupped and took a walk on the Bund; while gossiping, Ning Hao couldn't help but joke about this incident online.

"To be honest, things like sleeping with fans and choosing concubines are really not a big deal for a popular idol star who is also a single top male star.

It is completely impossible for competitors to overthrow him with these things. If you want to bring down such a top male star, it must at least be a crime with solid evidence, or it must be related to drugs.

Just sleeping with fans or choosing a concubine, even if it is true and is stoned, so what? Let alone committing a crime, it’s hard to say whether it can be classified as illegal behavior. There is a high probability that it will be classified as moral corruption...

Moral matters can only affect the reputation of that traffic star in the short term at most. Afterwards, they can be washed away, suppressed by public opinion, and hyped up, and it will be over. After all, it is a money-making seedling, and some capital in the industry will not give up and will definitely protect it to death.

Generally speaking, the "Documents for Handling Bad Artists and Works" from the year before last was too thin, too crude, and many things were imperfect... Moreover, in the current environment, there really is not much supervision and punishment for the film and television entertainment industry. …”

Lin Nan smacked her lips and wanted to interrupt several times, but finally fell silent, because what Ning Hao said was indeed right.

…

During the annual Magic City International Film Festival, it is also the time when Shanghai Film has the greatest influence in the film and television industry, because the shadow of Shanghai Film can be seen everywhere.

Correspondingly, as the host, Ren Zhonglun spoke with confidence, even surpassing La Peikang.

"You still don't believe in the movie Hai Zheng?"

"Even if there is a letter, why can Shanghai Film still guarantee that it will get the share?" La Peikang glanced at it without any emotion in his tone.

"Whether we can get it or not is up to Shangying, as long as others don't get in the way."

Han Sanping glanced at the two people standing next to him and interrupted at will:

"Hai Zheng has already decided on the director? As for the script, I estimate it will only be in the past two months. After all, it has been prepared for three and a half months."

Hearing Han Sanping's words, Ren Zhonglun and La Peikang's eyes instantly lit up.

Wang Yong didn't care much, because Xiying was powerless. As for Ning Ying and Changying, they all have old gods and are self-aware.

"The Children's Bureau is coming in."

With a reminder, everyone immediately looked towards the door and saw Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen entering the conference room together.

"After the Magic City International Film Festival ends, you guys should fly to the capital immediately. The Huabiao Award is more important, and we have been preparing for it in the past two days."

Hearing Tong Gang's more serious tone, several people nodded immediately. From the perspective of the ministry, the importance of Huabiao is slightly higher than that of the Shanghai International Film Festival!

"Tong Ju, is this Huabiao Award for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" already secured?"

La Peikang is most concerned about this issue, which is related to China Film's "achievements".

Ren Zhonglun and others all had straight faces and looked at La Peikang with "displeased" eyes. How embarrassing!

Han Sanping felt very regretful at this moment. The Huabiao Award was too "positive" and he was not nominated for the Outstanding Actor Award for his "villain" role. Thinking about the Golden Rooster trophy for Best Supporting Actor at home, well, it is still very good. Gold content.

"I don't know. China Propaganda won't disclose it at all. But thinking about it, the trophy and certificate for the Outstanding Feature Film Award should be for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom."

Tong Gang smiled and nodded, this was the inevitable result.

Well, out of the several state-owned enterprise chairmen in the conference room, there was only one who was in a happy mood. In the year-end work summary, there is something written again!

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, after some trivial matters for official activities during the film festival were arranged, the meeting adjourned.

But when everyone stood up to leave, Tong Gang suddenly spoke: "China Film Academy will stay for a while, and others can leave first."

A dozen pairs of eyes glanced vaguely between La Peikang and Tong Gang. Within a few seconds, only two people were left in the conference room.

"Tong Bureau, what's going on?" Looking at Tong Gang's cold expression, La Peikang felt a little nervous.

"I am also from China Film Academy. China Film Academy and you are my direct descendants. There are some things I have to remind you."

Tong Gang looked at La Peikang extremely seriously and collected his thoughts.

"Tong Bureau, you say."

"Does LeTV have a large share of "The Great Wall"?"

This question surprised La Peikang, "It's not much, but there are still 10 points. Why did the Tong Bureau suddenly ask about this?"

There was silence in the conference room for two seconds.

Tong Gang pinched his eyebrows and said, "This movie is China Film's biggest 'political achievement' project in the past two years. I know you attach great importance to it, so I want to tell you something here."

La Peikang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, trying to calm down, "Tong Bureau, what's the problem with this project?"

"No. Make a separation with LeTV on this project, and don't have any 'personal relations' when doing business."

As the helmsman of a state-owned enterprise, La Peikang has a very keen sense of smell. Tong Gang's words directly made his hair stand on end. Something happened over there? !

"Tong Bureau, over there?"

"Well, it's complicated, just wait."

…

"Westward Journey 3" had only three industry screenings during the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival.

No, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and Han Jianu, who had nothing to do, went to watch Tang Yan's "performance".

Going in with a bit of expectation and coming out full of complaints, this is the state of the three of them at this time.

"Liu Zhenwei is just a director. He knows nothing about "Westward Journey"? It's a mess!

The first two films can become classics, because they are classics interpreted by the audience and fans, and they are also classics performed by Zhou Xingchi. They are no longer Liu Zhenwei's "Westward Journey", but they want to make a third film to ruin the classics. Well, consumption feelings……"

Han Jianu cursed and complained. As for Tang Yan's acting skills, she, as a director, would not comment on it to save face for her friends.

"Wu Dan's 'cool' phrase is so magical. Next time I see Xie Nan, I will definitely laugh at her, haha..."

Shu Chang hugged Liu Yifei's arm and laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. Ms. Liu was on the phone with Lin Nan, but they hung up after half a minute.

"Let's go find Lin Nan. He and Director Ning Hao are on the Bund. Well, you can have dinner while the sea breeze blows." Liu Yifei winked and said with a smile.

"Haifeng?" Han Jianu was stunned for a moment and Shu Chang was also a little confused.

"Director Yang from Yinghuang chartered a luxury cruise ship to celebrate the launch of director Jiang Wen's new movie..."
