But this is not what surprised Wang Zhongjun the most. What surprised Wang Zhongjun the most was actually what Ye Ming said after that. At that moment, he looked at Ye Ming very unexpectedly and said: "[Star Wars: The Phantom Menace] If what I guessed is correct, New Film Alliance The probability of success is relatively high for those who are close to the water, first get the moon. I think even if they get the video, they are unlikely to share it with you, right? But I am surprised that you seem to be interested in celebrating the New Year? " Ye Ming said that this year's Lunar New Year show is a battleground for military strategists, which means that Brilliant Film and Television is interested in this year's Lunar New Year show. This is not very good news for Huayi Brothers. In terms of movies, Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year movie is simply a gold medal. He has not lost money in any of the past two years, but Ye Ming is also a director who has not lost money. Even the great director Chen Kaige was worried about the movie "Crazy Stone". It was broken and sinking into the sand, which had to make Wang Zhongjun vigilant. When Feng Xiaogang heard the two talking about this, he asked with concern: "Ye Ming, are you thinking about filming a movie? Why didn't you let out any news beforehand? We were caught off guard." Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is an impromptu idea. I thought of a good script to see how I can make it. Director Feng, how is your New Year movie going? Audiences across the country are waiting to see your movie. How could I have caught you off guard, but you caught the people at the Golden Rooster Award by surprise. The people at the Golden Rooster Award don't take the usual care of your movie." It has to be said that it is ironic that a national film award such as the Golden Rooster Awards ignores the box office champion. The highest-grossing film produced in one's own country received no awards in one's own country. At this time, Feng Xiaogang simply said: "Those grandsons, what the hell are they? They are the ones who are the most nonsensical. They are a bunch of guys who know nothing about movies. They have the ability to shoot a high-grossing movie on their own." Ah, standing in the latrine all day without taking a poop is what bothers me the most. Golden Rooster Award, I just don’t like them? It turns out that the movie market of more than one billion yuan has allowed them to reach 200 million yuan now, and they still have reason to pay back. " Feng Xiaogang did something that made the Golden Rooster Awards a bit unpredictable. On the opening day of the Golden Rooster Awards, Feng Xiaofang actually informed the media that his new New Year film "See You or Not Separate" was launched. This suddenly made most of the Media reporters were attracted. Feng Xiaogang has brought disgrace to the Golden Rooster Awards. In addition, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou did not participate. If there are no works shortlisted, then it is reasonable not to go. For example, Ye Ming and Feng Xiaogang have designated not to go, but they just said No one expected that Feng Xiaogang would be so tit-for-tat. But two great directors, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, both have their own works shortlisted, and director Chen Kaige is still a big hit, but at this time, Chen Kaige still didn't go. This is absolutely It was said to be a huge irony, which caused the Golden Rooster Awards to lose all face. Anyway, these directors, whether they are big directors or upstart directors, don't care much about the Golden Rooster Award.
This is also a strange phenomenon in China. The biggest awards turn their noses up at the directors with the most box office appeal. Everyone is just playing for it. The box office now only exceeds 200 million. This shows that Chinese movies have dropped to the freezing point. What do you expect? [Red Lover] It’s a joke that some movies with main themes like this are pulling in the box office. If the employer doesn’t foot the bill, who would watch a movie with main themes? The box office is so expensive. For more than 20 yuan, I’ll cut a few kilograms of meat so that my family can improve their lives. is it good. [Red Lover] even if it invited brother Zhang Guorong to star for the first time, it was still a box office failure. In fact, Ye Ming's prediction was correct. When he returned to the capital, he received a call from Han Shanping, saying that Ye Ming was asked to attend an event. It was not a formal meeting, but an event, such as a tea party. This is consistent with the activities mentioned by Wang Zhongjun. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming joked a few words: "Third Master, what is going on? There have been a lot of activities recently." Han Sanping said without politeness at all: "You kid What are you talking about? I have something good to think about you. A tea party held by China Film Group is discussing the issue of our country’s box office this year. It’s only good for you to come." Ye Ming hummed and said: "Third Master, I'm not making sarcastic remarks. We have nothing to discuss at the box office. Director Feng's "See You or Be Parted" was so popular, but in the end, it still won the Golden Rooster Award. Ignore it, otherwise, Director Feng would not have chosen that time to hold a press conference." Seeing that Ye Ming was not talking about which pot he was talking about, Han Shanping immediately said with a smile: "You kid, where did you come from so much nonsense? Just come here directly. It's not just about discussing box office issues. There is also the issue of bringing in blockbuster films. People from the New Film Alliance and film and television companies in other provinces and regions will come over. If you can’t catch [Star Wars: The Phantom Menace] by then, don’t say I didn’t notify you in advance. You." Ye Ming was noticed by many peers because of the five-yuan movie tickets. Therefore, Han Shanping was actually very clear that even if Ye Ming was owned by the New Film Alliance, if it was said that the New Film Alliance really got it As for [Star Wars], Ye Ming will never be allowed to screen it at this time. Hearing this, Ye Ming finally regained his energy and immediately said with a smile: "Qing, this is really good news. Don't worry, Third Master, I will definitely be there on time." At this point, Han Shanping originally wanted to hang up the phone, but in the end he thought about it and said, "Ye Ming, Qiongyao's Zhongjie Company has been poached. You didn't have any involvement in this matter, did you?" Such a storm came earlier than Ye Ming thought. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming said decisively: "Third Master, look at what you said, what does this matter have to do with me? My contract is with my own company, and it has nothing to do with Zhongjie Company." It has a big relationship.” Han Shanping pondered for a while and said: "A thing like this is actually not a big deal. Some things cannot be done too much. Qiong Yao is not that easy to provoke. She will never suffer such a big loss." Let’s give up easily. This matter is just the beginning. Even if Huayi Brothers say they want to win, they will lose miserably. This matter has nothing to do with you.” Putting down the phone, Ye Ming was also thinking at this time, could it be that He Xiuqiong of Zhang Chapter had any ability to pull off the trick. But think about it, being robbed of love by someone from Huayi Brothers and taking away all of your contracted artists, cutting off people's wealth, is like killing your parents. Ye Ming came over to Sister Fang Fang and said, "I'm going to attend an event. If we have an interesting interaction, it will be very lively by then." When I heard that Ye Ming was going to participate in the event, Sister Fang Fang suddenly said that she had thought of something, and immediately said: "I have also heard the news in the past two days. China Film Group is preparing to introduce [Star Wars: The Phantom Menace] to the film . If there are all the right opportunities, then you should get this blockbuster. After all, it is almost said that there are no decent foreign movies this year, or there are some outside, but they will not be introduced. Fortunately, there is such a science fiction film to support the scene." This naturally meant that Ye Ming had other ideas. He shook his head and said, "I will pay attention to this, but Star Wars is indeed a very good classic science fiction film. Does that mean it is a classic science fiction film?" Shooting a sequel will definitely be very profitable, but this is not necessarily the case. I will go to the scene to see what everyone thinks." In fact, sometimes it is difficult to explain clearly to this market. Some people just control this market. If Ye Ming wants to change all this, it is impossible at least now. But Sister Fang Fang is a fan of [Star Wars], so she said with great certainty: "There has been no blockbuster movie for five months, which is enough to make the audience feel spiritually hungry. Moreover, Star Wars, That's not an ordinary movie. His sequel is worth watching no matter what. If you can win over this movie, then we will make a lot of money." Sister Fang Fang is not just a general fan of [Star Wars], so under such circumstances, she naturally strongly recommended it to her boss. Ye Ming nodded, indicating that he would pay attention to this matter, and said seriously: "Well, I will pay attention to this when the time comes, but you also know that [Star Wars: The Phantom Menace] is indeed a blockbuster, so The box office is still guaranteed, and no one can see the money-making thing. Therefore, the competition must be very fierce. At this time, it is difficult to say whether I have the ability to win the screening rights. .” There is not one person fighting for it. Han Shanping has made it very clear just now. Therefore, Ye Ming knows that this is also a battle between dragons and tigers. Even if Ye Ming fights with all his strength, he may not be able to succeed. What's more, in this situation In this case, Ye Ming may not intend to fight for it with all his strength. [Star Wars: The Phantom Menace] itself was not very good at the box office. Ye Ming naturally said that he would not go all out to fight for such a movie. If it's a classic like "Titanic", it's worth fighting for, but "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" is really not worth it. (To be continued)
