Although Chen Kaige has such an idea, it is somewhat out of imitation of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, originally he did not make up his mind to shoot such a large production, but because of the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the box office of more than 200 million US dollars is enough for Chinese filmmakers to look up to.

Chen Kaige felt that if he made a martial arts film, the time was ripe.

That's why I finally made up my mind to start shooting. However, according to Chen Kaige's proud character, how can he admit that he is an imitation.

But in front of so many reporters, he couldn't turn his face, and said with a smile: "If you follow this reporter's meaning, after the sinking of the ice sea, the Titanic can also be imitated and plagiarized, I don't know if Director Cameron will agree with you."

Li Yu is directing a martial arts film, Wang Dulu's work, while mine is a magical film, which tends to be more inclined to the kind of spiritual world constructed by Freud, so this is not comparable.

Of course, the achievements of director Li Yu are also obvious to all, and they are worthy of the pride of our Chinese filmmakers, allowing the West to see the breadth and profundity of our Chinese culture. ”

This answer is indeed decent, but it is not Chen Kaige's original intention, the meaning of this passage is that Chen Hong came up with it.

Because Chen Hong knows very well that there is a lot of discussion in the outside world about whether Chen Kaige's [Wuji] follows the trend [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon], therefore, Chen Hong also expected that reporters would ask similar questions at the press conference.

Mainland reporters can say that they have all been greeted, and no one will raise this issue without interest. But at this time, there are still Hong Kong and Taiwan. There are also foreign journalists, these people are not so easy to greet.

Therefore, Chen Hong prepared the answer to such a question early. Otherwise, with Brother Chen Kai's temper, even if he didn't get mad on the spot, at least he wouldn't give the reporter a good look.

Miki obviously didn't expect Brother Chen Kai to answer so smoothly, so he sat down very disappointed.

At this time, a reporter from Hong Kong City stood up and said: "Hello Director Chen, I am Charlie Wang, a reporter for Next Magazine, and I heard that the box office share in the mainland is now 35%, which is a rather low share, and Director Chen actually invested so much." Is there a further plan for how to recover the investment in the future? ”

The box office share of the mainland is not in line with international standards, this is also what makes mainland filmmakers very unhappy, but the new film association is now a monopoly, the people of the new film association are powerful enough, and after accepting Ye Ming's brilliant cinema, they are even more in an absolute monopoly position. Therefore, how to share the box office, that is to watch the new film association.

Thirty-eight percent? Don't think about it, it's thirty-five percent now. It's good to be able to give 35 percent.

It is precisely because the people of the New Film Association are so domineering that at this time, Wang Zhongjun summoned some directors in the circle to break this monopoly.

And this blockbuster of Brother Chen Kai. In fact, it also gives everyone a hope, after all, Chen Kaige is an international director, and he has made such a big investment to shoot a movie. It should have considerable influence, and it will be possible to force the people of the New Film Association to give in.

At this time. Brother Chen Kai was not worried at all. At this moment, a high-spirited middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses suddenly walked in the scene. looked elegant, but said while walking with an arrogant demeanor: "This question is a good question, the box office share also depends on the quality of the movie itself, it can't be said to be one-size-fits-all." If the quality of the movie itself is very poor, then the cinema itself will lose money, and it is naturally impossible to give too high a box office. But at this time, if it is a good film, we will still take care of it accordingly. ”

After Chen Kaige saw the visitor, he stood up happily and said: "Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Liu He, the spokesman of the New Film Association, and today I am here to attend my new film press conference on behalf of the New Film Association." ”

This result is very surprising, many of the reporters present are well-informed people, Wang Zhongjun summoned Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others to discuss how to deal with the oppression of the New Film Federation, the news is known to the General Administration, and it is impossible for reporters not to know.

But looking at the situation now, the New Film Association actually wears the same pants as Brother Chen Kai, which is simply unthinkable.

At this moment, Yu Guo of the Entertainment Morning Post immediately stood up and said: "It is rumored that there is an offensive and defensive alliance in the film and television industry, and Director Chen is one of them. ”

As soon as these words came out, the reporters present immediately talked about it.

What is withdrawing from the offensive and defensive alliance, to put it bluntly, it is just a betrayal, even if such a thing is in the entertainment industry, it is also criticized.

Therefore, at this time, Chen Kaige said with a gloomy face: "Which media reporter are you, why don't you know the importance so much, next time I will refuse your media to participate in my press conference." The New Film Association is the largest cinema chain, we are a strong alliance, as for the offensive and defensive alliance you mentioned, it is completely imaginary. ”

Yu Guo said impassionedly: "No matter whether Director Chen is happy or not, I am here, and I believe that readers also have the right to know the truth." ”

This matter is very explosive news, it depends on how Chen Kaige responds to this problem. And at this moment, Liu He is also a little breathless, this is not to give face to the new film association.

The people of the New Film Association knew that Wang Zhongjun and they had come up with an offensive and defensive alliance, and wanted to let the people of the New Film Association change the box office share, but in such a situation, it was also very difficult, and who would give up the benefits casually.

Therefore, the people of the new film association quickly thought of a way to divide and disintegrate. And at this time, Brother Chen Kai quickly entered their field of vision.

At such a time, Chen Kaige must need a chance to prove himself and prove that his reputation as an international director is worthy of the name, not the reputation that he got by relying on his Lao Tzu as the outside world said.

But no matter what you say, it is not easy to ask Brother Chen Kai to betray at this time, the people of the New Film Association have raised the box office share to 42 percent, which is a very high box office share, which can be said to be unprecedented, as for whether there is a later comer, this is really not clear.

And Chen Kaige's high box office share is actually just this movie.

Wang Zhongjun They need a blockbuster to fight back against the New Film Federation, and the people of the New Film Association actually don't need a blockbuster to enhance their influence at this time, as a theater chain, only by introducing and screening those real classic blockbusters, then at such a time, can more audiences come in to watch the movie.

Therefore, at this time, the people of the New Film Association chose Chen Kaige's super blockbuster [Wuji] across the Taiwan Strait, plus the big stars invited by Japan, this is a quite luxurious lineup.

Even the national teacher Zhang Yimou doesn't have such a big hand. Zhang Yimou is good at training newcomers, and he trains Zhang Ziyi into an international chapter, which is not something that ordinary people do.

But Brother Chen Kai likes to use big stars to shoot gorgeous scenes.

Big stars are a guarantee of a big box office, and the people of the New Film Association at least think so.

Liu He also said with a dark face: "This reporter pays attention to your wording, you can't represent the reader, and I don't think there's anything wrong with Director Chen cooperating with us, this is a mutually beneficial thing, pay attention, the new film association is the official representative, and the others are all grass stage teams, and they can't be on the stage." ”

At this time, Liu He was also relatively angry, he came to cheer for Chen Kaige, so he never expected that in such a situation, there would be such an eyeless reporter to ask such a tricky question.

Therefore, when Liu He spoke, he was a little unkind.

Who is the Caotai team, it is naturally a group of people like Wang Zhongjun.

And this press conference, in fact, everyone is very satisfied, especially the news dug up at the end, which made many reporters feel excited. And many of these reporters went directly to Huayi Brothers.

In fact, they planned to interview Wang Zhongjun, but they didn't expect that Wang Zhongjun was not in the company at this time. These reporters just blocked Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang is the pillar of the Huayi brothers, and interviewing him often has a lot of gains, this can be described as a small steel cannon, and he dares to say anything.

Miki immediately told him some things about the [Wuji] press conference, and then said, "Director Feng, may I ask what your opinion is on this." ”

In fact, Feng Xiaogang already knew the news, and he went out this time, in fact, for this matter, but he just happened to want to go out, but he happened to meet these reporters.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang said with an unkind face: "How to say this thing, betrayal, some people are dirty people, these people look beautiful on the surface, but these people have no integrity at all, I really don't understand why such a person can still mix in the entertainment industry, whether I am crazy or crazy in the entertainment industry, this is not easy to say." ”

As soon as Feng Xiao spoke, he was really not polite at all, so he almost pointed at Brother Chen Kai's nose and scolded this guy for being a traitor.

The reporters present were also pleasantly surprised, and they had to write about it now. (To be continued......)
