Chapter 619: The Movie of State Propaganda [Life and Death Choice]
Ye Ming said these words, Chen Hong glanced at Chen Kaige very curiously and said: "Life and death choice, Lao Chen, do you know that there is such a movie?"
This is a very strict question, at least Chen Hong, who is a person in the circle, has never heard of such a movie. What does this mean, this means that the investment in this movie is small, and the stars are not big-named, otherwise, it is impossible for Chen Hong not to know.
After Chen Hong successfully squeezed Ni Ping out of the position and became Mrs. Chen, she single-handedly took care of all the publicity work of Chen Kaige, what movie will become Chen Kaige's opponent, this is Chen Hong's focus on the target. But even Chen Hong, who has always paid great attention to works on the market, doesn't know about this movie, so you can imagine the doubts in her heart now.
Brother Chen Kai pretended to glance at the back of Ye Ming who was leaving, and said with a smile: "Young man, he is arrogant and has been cleaned up, and he is a little unconvinced in his heart, this is just an excuse that Ye Ming is looking for." Don't take it to heart. ”
And the reporters below really took Ye Ming's words to heart, they saw the look of pity in Ye Ming's eyes when he said this, in such a situation, as a reporter's professional sensitivity, they knew that there must be something wrong with it.
After receiving the souvenirs, there are souvenirs at the press conference or something, which is an unspoken rule, and neither Ye Ming nor Chen Kaige has any intention of violating this unspoken rule.
Although Ye Ming's Infernal Affairs was delayed, there are still souvenirs for the reporter. When he was like this, Lao Bai, who had always been not very good with Yu Guo, couldn't help it, he was a person who knew Ye Ming better, Ye Ming would not be untargeted, Ye Ming dared to say this in front of so many reporters. There must be his own hole cards. And the reporters on the scene knew Ye Ming better than themselves, and only Yu Guo was the person.
Therefore, Lao Bai, who has always been a little wrong with Yu Guo, finally found Yu Guo to inquire about this matter. Yu Guo just said a word, there is really a life and death choice in this movie.
It means that Ye Ming is not lying, in fact, Yu Guo knows that it is because he has a classmate who is a staff member of the life and death decision crew. Originally, there was a celebration banquet after the press conference, and some of the leading actors of the crew were going to attend the celebration banquet. But now it seems that in such a situation, the celebration banquet will not be held.
However, Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "The big guy has been busy for a long time no matter what, since the celebration banquet has been set, then at such a time, no matter what, it is impossible to cancel it, it is better to change it to a dinner, anyway, everyone hasn't been together for a long time to eat well." ”
During the meal, the people in the Infernal Affairs crew were actually in a very heavy mood. At this time, Xu Qing, who was sitting next to Ye Ming, frowned, and had a feeling that he couldn't swallow.
Xu Qing is the kind of person who can be the center of attention on any occasion, her beauty and her smile are her most powerful weapons. But Xu Qing is also the person who is the best at hiding herself, and she is reluctant to be the focus of attention again, so she is always good at hiding herself, especially her feelings. Unwavering is one of her characteristics.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Sister Qing, what are you worried about." At this time, the person who should really worry is me, I don't know what I should do. You don't have to worry about this, it's all right. ”
At this time, looking at Ye Ming's expression, there was no frustration at all, Xu Qing said with some worry: "Aren't you worried about the box office failure of Infernal Affairs at all? I can see that you don't care, it's not your character. ”
Xu Qing has not had any negative reports at all along the way, which has a lot to do with her character. Even if she knew that it was Brother Chen Kai who did this, even if she saw Brother Chen Kai's crew show off her power to Infernal Affairs, but in such a situation, she would never say it in person, so if she talked to Xu Qing, if it was not a good person to finish Xu Qing, it would be very difficult at such a time.
This is also a means of self-protection in the entertainment industry, especially actresses, it is best to use this trick.
Ye Ming didn't seem to take such a thing to heart at all, and said with a smile: "I should fight for it, I must fight for it, but this matter is obviously not able to be fought for, it must be that someone above is not happy to see this kind of movie like Infernal Affairs, so there is this notice." And Brother Chen Kai thought he had calculated me, but in fact, if there was a battle between Infernal Affairs and Wuji, perhaps, Wuji's box office would be a little better, but without Infernal Affairs, then Wuji would not have any possibility of victory. ”
Xu Qing didn't understand this matter very much, thought about it, or shook his head and said: "I really don't understand this, the choice between life and death must be as powerful as you said, I have never heard of this movie, can it defeat Wuji? The director who can defeat Chen Kaige in Huaxia can check it with one hand." ”
This hand checked, in fact, there are only three people, one is the national teacher Zhang Yimou, there is no doubt about this, in such a situation, no matter what it is, Zhang Yimou is the boss of Chinese movies, there is no doubt about this, even the current Ye Ming, I have to admit this, and the other is Feng Xiaogang, who went off the rails with the sword and killed a bloody way with the Chinese New Year film, and the last one is the rising star Ye Ming.
None of the rest of the people are the opponents of director Chen Kaige. Although Brother Chen Kai is proud, his reputation is there.
Who is the director of the life and death decision, this Xu Qing doesn't know, it can be seen what kind of niche movie the life and death decision is.
Fan Binbin also said with some incomprehension: "Yes, Brother Ming, I don't know what you think, this life and death decision is indeed a movie that no one knows." In our circle, it is almost impossible to have a box office without fame, and there is no publicity at all for the life-and-death decision. Infernal Affairs is favored by everyone, and this happened just now. Director Feng Xiaogang was already called away by Wang Zhongjun to discuss things. I guess I'll be looking for you. ”
Ye Ming said with a smile: "There is no publicity, it's just that it hasn't started, the choice of life and death is a miracle movie that you won't think of again, it won't be long before the whole of China will know about this movie, I said." This is an anti-corruption movie, although such a movie is not well-known, but in such a situation, the power it can burst out will be seen immediately. ”
As soon as these words were said, Feng Xiaogang's call came, and he asked Ye Ming to discuss countermeasures, and after Ye Ming arrived at Huayi Brothers, Feng Xiaogang said with some admiration: "Ye Zi, you are so powerful, can you still eat and drink with the people of the company at this time." I'm not worried at all, just now I'm discussing with Mr. Wang and Director Zhang, is there any solution to this matter. ”
Ye Ming immediately said: "There is no way, since Brother Chen Kai has made a move, then at such a time, it means that he has a great grasp, and you don't know about our circle." The screening was delayed, and the people above dragged it a lot. There is no way to release it without two or three months. In two or three months, pirated discs have flooded the market, and we don't have to think about the box office. ”
This matter is very consistent with the result of Feng Xiaogang's discussion, this time, Wang Zhongjun. Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou saw that Ye Ming's movie was delayed, and immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures, but they discussed and discussed, but at such a time, they couldn't discuss a better result. The people above have decided on this matter, and it is almost immutable.
Feng Xiaogang said helplessly: "You know these things, why aren't you in a hurry at all, depending on the situation, if Wuji's box office is not 100 million this time, it is very good, Brother Chen Kai will fight a beautiful turnaround." This offensive and defensive alliance of ours is simply self-defeating, or you can discuss it with the third master. ”
In fact, the final result of the three of them at this time is that if they want to change the situation, then the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and at this time, it is only possible to change the situation when the people above speak, so that Infernal Affairs will be released on time before the 29th.
Ye Ming shook his head, very sure, and didn't care at all and said: "You don't have to think about this matter, do you think that Brother Chen Kai will give you this opportunity, take a step back, will the New Film Association give you this feeling?
But Wuji also has no chance at all, Chen Kaige doesn't want to make money at all, if there is a confrontation of Infernal Affairs, maybe everyone still has hope of making money, but without the confrontation of Infernal Affairs, there is only one opponent for life and death, Wuji will definitely die ugly, in fact, even if there is Infernal Affairs, I don't think that the box office of Infernal Affairs in the mainland is only twenty or thirty million, which is the sky.
If there is no Infernal Affairs, the box office of Wuji is more than 10 million, but how much is Wuji's investment, more than 50 million, Chen Kaige will also die very miserably this time, not to mention Wuji, even if it is the Titanic, it is impossible to fight against the choice of life and death. ”
Now, not only Feng Xiaogang, but also Wang Zhongjun and Zhang Yimou are a little strange, why is Ye Ming's confidence so great, and the Titanic can't deal with life and death decisions?
At this time, Director Zhang felt that Ye Ming was exaggerating this matter, the quality of the Titanic was obvious to all in the world, and the box office of 1.7 billion US dollars was not blown out, but movie tickets were piled up.
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This is different, any other film has no choice in the choice of life and death, because this is a film promoted by the state, promoted by the state, you haven't heard of it, in fact, this is the first time that the term national promotion has appeared."
Now there is no promotion and propaganda for life and death decisions, but in a few days, news broadcasts and focus interviews will report on life and death decisions, you think about it, national promotion, Tianchao Taiwan publicity, is there any better propaganda than this in our country, I said that the Titanic is a dead end, do you believe it?"
At this time, everyone was completely dumbfounded, Wang Zhongjun's mouth widened as if he could stuff three eggs, and Feng Xiaogang's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, Zhang Yimou thought about it, and seemed to think of something.
Feng Xiaogang said in disbelief: "Will this be the case?" Ye Ming nodded and said very affirmatively: "Absolutely, why Infernal Affairs chooses to go through guò, in fact, it is because I am the ambassador of the Olympic bid, and every qiē is to make way for the Olympic bid, but sometimes every qiē is to make way for anti-corruption, the world is big, and the leader is the biggest, I think the three of them are very clear."
