Wu Jianye is about to arrive in Xiangjiang with his new work "New Dragon Gate Inn"!

In fact, before Wu Jian came to Xiangjiang at night, the publicity of "New Dragon Gate Inn" had already begun, and the position of the main billboards in the subway station, minibus, and street was hung with the promotional poster of "New Dragon Gate Inn".

A huge poster, in the middle of the desolate desert, where only a lonely Dragon Gate Inn stands.

In the case that the Xiangjiang phenomenal movie "God of Gamblers" has not yet been painted, this movie has been known to the citizens of Hong Kong.

The office of the chairman of Fengge Entertainment.

Jiang Zhiqiang had a sad face at this time.

"Director Wu is a bit exaggerated, such intensive publicity for a martial arts film, this movie has now spent 5 million Hong Kong dollars on publicity alone!"

Gong Jiapei's face is also not very good-looking.

The reason why the two have such expressions is not because the publicity cost of this movie has reached 5 million Hong Kong dollars, but because this movie is a martial arts movie!

There is a data that can very well explain how lonely martial arts movies have been in Xiangjiang.

Last year, Xiangjiang Local Film Company released a total of 109 movies, none of the top ten at the box office were martial arts movies, and among the 109 movies in the year, there were only six martial arts movies!

Now Wu Jianye not only spent millions of dollars to shoot a martial arts film, but even when it was released, he asked Fengge Entertainment to spend 5 million Hong Kong dollars as the promotion cost of the film.

In Jiang Zhiqiang's view, Wu Jianye is a suicidal act after the movie "The Last Emperor" achieved box office success.

It's not just Jiang Zhiqiang who thinks so, Gong Jiapei too, and the entire Xiangjiang film industry.

As a mainland director, Wu Jianye is not favored by people in the Xiangjiang film industry, even if "The Last Emperor" was successful before, everyone thinks that it is just due to the box office bonus effect of the previous "The Last Emperor" movie when Wu Jianye and the Academy Awards were tough.

At this time, they selectively forgot about the excellent production of this film.

Mainland director + martial arts film!

Such a type, looking for death!

What really makes people in the Xiangjiang film industry scruple is that he is the behind-the-scenes boss of Fengge Entertainment, not his identity as a director.

.......

"Wu Jianye is afraid that he is going to encounter Waterloo this time!"

Jiahe headquarters, He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai said.

"After all, they are young people, some don't know that the sky is high, the success of a movie does not mean anything, even Wu Baige has succeeded in several movies in Xiangjiang before filming "The True Color of Heroes". ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded, expressing agreement with He Guanchang's words.

"What's more, it's still a martial arts movie!" He Guanchang continued to laugh.

"This is also related to Wu Jianye's identity as a mainland director, thinking that there was a Li Lianjie in China, and thinking that mainland martial arts films would be successful in Xiangjiang, but I didn't know that Xiangjiang's martial arts films had long been lonely over the years!"

Zou Wenhuai has a basis for saying this, one is the data listed before, and the other is the loneliness of martial arts films, which has long been recognized by the Xiangjiang film industry, even Golden Harvest himself no longer shoots martial arts films.

And most importantly, how did Shaw Brothers fail in the first place, wasn't it just obsessed with making martial arts films?

At that time, Shaw Brothers' Di Long and Jiang Dawei can be said to be two monuments on Xiangjiang martial arts films, and the two joined forces under Zhang Che's training to dedicate countless martial arts movies to the audience in Xiangjiang, but it was also because of this that Shaw Brothers himself made martial arts films to death.

With the experience of Shaw Brothers, which film company dares to shoot martial arts films!

"I've heard that his investment in this film is more than $3 million!" Mr. Ho continued.

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "I know what you mean, this movie will not have any impact on Fengge Entertainment, Fengge Entertainment is not Shaw Brothers, even if Fengge Entertainment does not mention Yaoguang Group, its market value in Xiangjiang has already exceeded 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is impossible for such a huge consortium to have problems because of a movie with an investment of only 3 million US dollars!"

He Guanchang exclaimed: "I really don't know what Wu Jianye thinks, he actually turned an entertainment company into a huge consortium with a market value of more than 15 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly: "What else can it be, of course it's their theater chain, Xiangjiang's theater chain plus the entire Southeast Asian theater chain, they have invested 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the land prices in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia have been rising in the past two years, plus the movies produced by Fengge Entertainment, they are all blockbuster movies.......

Speaking of this, the expression on Zou Wenhuai's face was even more bitter.

Wu Jianye, this is purely another model of showing them the film industry in Xiangjiang with a cheat.

In the past, the film companies in the Xiangjiang film industry, after their establishment, paid more attention to the quality of their own films, and then became the largest film company in Xiangjiang with the blessing of the theater, such as their Golden Harvest, the old rival Shaw Brothers, and the current rival Xinyicheng.

Then, relying on its own distribution network in Southeast Asia, the company will become bigger and stronger.

These are all taken step by step.

But what about Fengge Entertainment?

Almost in one step, making high-grossing movies, and spending huge sums of money to acquire and build theaters throughout Southeast Asia, this kind of unreasonable play has almost never happened in the global film industry.

But Fengge Entertainment did just that.

This makes the bosses of all companies in the Xiangjiang film industry can only say helplessly: You can really be willful when you are rich!

That's why Zou Wenhuai said that even if the $3 million "New Dragon Gate Inn" failed, it would be irrelevant to Fengge Entertainment.

Who makes the family rich!

He Guanchang also said helplessly: "Sometimes, I really doubt what Wu Jianye's thoughts are, sitting on such a huge amount of wealth, and he is willing to be a director." ”

If Zhou Tao knew that He Guanchang had such thoughts, he would definitely take him as a confidant.

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "What's there to doubt about this, it's nothing more than to prove yourself in wealth, and you want to prove yourself in other places." ”

He Guanchang nodded, thinking that what Zou Wenhuai said was reasonable, because apart from this reason, they really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"But to be honest, I personally admire Wu Jianye's directing skills, and being able to win awards at two major European film festivals in a row is not something that ordinary directors can do. ”

Zou Wenhuai said: "So what, a director who can win an award is not necessarily a good director!"

As the boss of a film company, Zou Wenhuai naturally understands this truth, in fact, not only Zou Wenhuai, as long as the boss of any film company whose brain has not been squeezed by the door will think so.

Wang Jing at his peak and the king of sunglasses at his peak!

I believe that all the bosses of film companies will choose Wang Jing instead of Sunglasses King.

He Guanchang smiled: "Actually, I'm still looking forward to Wu Jianye's expression after the box office failure of this movie!"

"Haha!" Zou Wenhuai laughed: "I'm looking forward to it too!"

At this time, Fengge Entertainment is a big mountain on the heads of all film companies in Xiangjiang, even if they have the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, they may not necessarily have the help of Heaven.

So now being able to see Wu Jianye eating deflated is already a happy thing for them.

"It is estimated that Wu Jianye will have a premiere this time, when the time comes, we?" He Guanchang asked.

Zou Wenhuai stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night view of the Xiangjiang River outside the window, and said, "Can you not go?"

He Guanchang didn't say anything anymore.......

.......

Xu Kai Film Studio!

Xu Wei is sitting in his seat at this time, don't look at Xu Yanren's appearance is a little obscene, but his personal personality is still very domineering, otherwise Shi Nansheng would not call him master.

"Hey, the martial arts movie directed by Wu Jianye is coming to Hong Kong!" Xu Jian muttered with a freshly lit cigar in his hand.

Shi Nansheng sat next to him and said with a light smile: "Relying on Wu Jianye's financial resources, he doesn't want to make any movie he wants!"

Xu Wei's eyes revealed a hint of envy, how much he wanted to do this, but unfortunately there is no such director in the entire Xiangjiang now, but a director from the mainland has done this.

"Hey, now Xiangjiang's martial arts movies are lonely, I'm worried that he will push it in the back again, to be honest, I'm actually very interested in the copyright of the movie "Dragon Gate Inn"!" Xu Wei said.

However, it can also be seen from the tone that Xu Wei is not optimistic about the martial arts movies shot by Wu Jianye.

Sure enough, as his confidante, Shi Nansheng knows Xu Wei best, "I know what you think, but sometimes it's like this, what you want to do may not be able to do it with all your effort, but some people can easily get it." ”

Shi Nansheng is talking about the copyright of "Dragon Gate Inn", in fact, as early as the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Xu Wei mentioned to her the idea of wanting to shoot a martial arts movie, but when Xu Wei mentioned this matter to Lei Juekun, he was directly rejected by Lei Juekun.

Everyone knows that filming martial arts movies in Xiangjiang is looking for death.......

The big financier behind the scenes didn't support him, and Xu Wei had no choice, and then Wu Jianye proposed to shoot a martial arts movie, and then borrowed Cheng Xiaodong from himself.

"By the way, what does Xiaodong say about Director Wu's movie?" Shi Nansheng asked.

Xu Wei said a little lonely: "Xiaodong said that this movie is very good!"

Shi Nansheng asked puzzledly: "Since Xiaodong said that it is good, then this movie should be not bad, if it can really be successful in Xiangjiang, then wouldn't it be a good thing for you? After all, martial arts movies are up, and Lei Juekun won't say anything more!"

Xu Wei shook his head and said, "You don't understand, it's okay for Xiaodong to be an action director, but do you have the vision to watch movies...... After all, Wu Jianye is a mainland director, and the films he makes will not be too well accepted by the audience in Xiangjiang!"

Shi Nansheng shook his head and said, "I don't think so, didn't his previous "The Last Emperor" also succeed in Xiangjiang?"

Xu Wei smiled bitterly, and said with some disagreement with Wu Jianye's approach in his heart: "It's different, the big scene presented in the film "The Last Emperor" is almost unprecedented in a movie of the same type in Xiangjiang, plus those things that happened before the release, that movie was able to get such a high box office." ”

"Now Wu Jianye has actually filmed a martial arts film, a director who is not familiar with the audience in Xiangjiang, has shot a genre movie that has already fallen to the bottom in Xiangjiang, and the possibility of success is very small!"

"Xiangjiang's martial arts movies still have to be saved by the director of Xiangjiang, and it is too difficult to make a difference in Xiangjiang by relying on a martial arts movie made by a mainland director. Xu Wei finally said.

Shi Nansheng shook his head and said, "It's too late to say anything now, Wu Jianye controls such a big consortium, and it's not easy to shoot some of his favorite movies!"

Xu Wei: "But this is a blow to Xiangjiang Films, I said at the beginning that I shouldn't lend Cheng Xiaodong to him, maybe without Cheng Xiaodong, he wouldn't be able to make ......."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Wei also knew that this was impossible, according to Wu Jianye's financial resources, even if there was no Cheng Xiaodong, he could invite other martial arts instructors, not to mention that Cheng Xiaodong was not the top martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang.

Shi Nansheng has a different opinion on this: "When I lent Cheng Xiaodong out, I said that I might be able to use this to connect with Fengge Entertainment, so even if Wu Jianye's martial arts movie hits the street, we may also be able to get investment in Fengge Entertainment." ”

Xu Yan's face showed a hint of surprise and a hint of worry, "You mean to ......"

Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "Yes, I mean, since Wu Jianye has made martial arts movies by himself, can it be said that Wu Jianye himself also likes martial arts movies very much, if he really likes this type of movie, can we leave Lei Juekun aside and contact Fengge Entertainment directly?"

A flattering smile suddenly appeared on Xu Yan's face: "Then this matter ......"

Shi Nansheng glanced at Xu Yan and said with a smile: "Leave this matter to me, I estimate that this time "New Dragon Gate Inn" will be released in Xiangjiang, and Wu Jianye will also have a premiere, and we can talk to him about this matter at that time." ”

Xu Wei's face finally showed a smile: "Yes, Ah Sheng, fortunately I have you by my side!"

Shi Nansheng smiled coquettishly: "You just know!"

.......

"Martial arts movies?" Zhang Qiang is an ordinary Xiangjiang citizen, in his thirties, he has seen Wu Jianye's "The Last Emperor" before, and he likes this movie very much, because he thinks that Wu Jianye has made a movie that Xiangjiang does not have.

So at that time, he paid great attention to Wu Jianye, a mainland director, but now when he saw that Wu Jianye was actually shooting a martial arts film, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Isn't it the kind of story where the whole family is wiped out and then seeks revenge?" Zhang Qiang muttered to himself.

Zhang Qiang finally thought helplessly, but in the end Zhang Qiang decided to try to see it, if that was the case, he would lose the money to buy that movie ticket.......
