Chapter 414: Wanwan's Blockade (10,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
Hong Kong, Central!
The original Connaught Building has now been renamed Yiu Kwong Building!
The headquarters of Yaoguang Group has been moving here, and at the same time, the major companies under Yaoguang Group are moving their headquarters in Xiangjiang here, including Jinxiu Garment, Tunan Technology, Taiwei Electric, Hanshui Beverage, Yuzhi Investment, Fengge Entertainment, Fengge Cinema Line, etc., are preparing to transfer their headquarters here.
Yiu Kwong Tower is 52 storeys tall and offers more than 690,000 square feet of office space and shopping malls, and was once the highest floor in Hong Kong.
Sitting here and working, you can look at the whole Victoria Harbour!
Sitting in the office on the 49th floor, looking out the window at Victoria Harbour, Jiang Zhiqiang felt a sense of pride in his heart.
In just over a year, Jiang Zhiqiang has become one of the most influential bosses in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, and he can be on an equal footing with Zou Wenhuai and Sir Shao, which makes Jiang Zhiqiang occasionally dream back at midnight, thinking that he is dreaming.
However, Jiang Zhiqiang's beautiful mood was soon destroyed.
"You said that Wanwan has officially issued an order to prohibit Fengge Entertainment's movies from entering the Wanwan market?" Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Gong Jiapei with a cold face.
Gong Jiapei, 37 years old, the manager of the distribution department of Fengge Entertainment, is a close confidant of Jiang Zhiqiang in the past year, with good work ability, steadiness and rarely make mistakes, and can perfectly complete the tasks assigned above.
Gong Jiapei's expression at this time was also very solemn: "Yes, the news I just got, although there is no official follow-up from Wanwan, the major theaters have already received the news." ”
Syllable!
Jiang Zhiqiang slammed the document in his hand on the table, "Over the years, our money has been given in vain, do you know what the reason is?"
Because of Fengge Entertainment's special background, in recent years, Fengge Entertainment has taken out a part of its public relations expenses every year in order to be able to release its movies in Wanwan, but now Wanwan suddenly ordered to ban Fengge Entertainment's movies from being released.
If this matter is not properly handled, Fengge Entertainment's film career will suffer heavy losses.
"There is a notice in the name of the Freedom Association. Gong Jiapei said.
"What age are we now, and you still use the 'Freedom Association' to pinch us?" Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help but raise his head, with an angry face.
The full name of the Freedom Federation is the 'Hong Kong and Kowloon Film Practitioners Freedom Association', and it is because of this association that leftist filmmakers and right-wing filmmakers were officially separated.
At that time, the Wanwan Information Bureau stipulated that films made by non-members of the Freedom Federation were not allowed to enter the Wanwan market.
Not to mention, a few years ago, director Xu Anhua filmed "Running to the Angry Sea" in the motherland Qiongdao, and was investigated by the Wanwan Information Bureau. The play was banned in Wanwan until 2008...... One more thing, this drama has also been banned in the mainland. At that time, Lin Xiaobeard and Muse were able to pass the test by publishing a "statement of repentance" in the "Xiangjiang Times".
On the contrary, Liu Dehao, who was worried that he would be implicated, was not well-known at that time and was not affected at all.......
So, if you are reborn to make a movie in Xiangjiang, the timing is wrong, or the strength is not enough, it will be connected to the country, which is basically equivalent to looking for death!
Liang Jiahui's "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" were "blocked", and of course the Wanwan authorities could not understand that the reason they found at that time was that Liang Jiahui was on the blacklist of the 'Freedom Federation'...... So it's normal not to be able to enter the Wanwan market. Although he took off his pants and farted, he couldn't afford to make his pants unpacked......
In 1983 and 1984, the Information Bureau made a series of heavy blows, and new wave directors such as Fang Yuping, Yan Hao, and Weng Weiquan were all frozen in their films.
Not to mention anything else, in 1986, "Happy Ghosts and Ghosts" was planned to be screened at the leftist theater 'Puhua Cinema', but under the pressure of the Wanwan Information Bureau, it had to be willing to throw 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars to withdraw the film......
"The General Freedom Council is now in name only, and naturally there will be no interference. However, there is news about this matter, and it must not be untargeted......" Gong Jiapei's face was full of sorrow.
The Bay Market is extremely important for any Hong Kong Island film company that has a foothold in developing its main market.
As the manager of the distribution department, Gong Jiapei's pressure can be imagined!
Since the other party came privately, it also shows that the problem may not be principled. After Jiang Zhiqiang was angry, he calmed down.
"Makes sense. Different from Director Song's domineering at the beginning, the current Director Shao is more tactful......"
Director Shao is the protagonist of the book "Shao xx" written by Master Li Goudan in later generations. At that time, he was the director of the Information Bureau of the Wanwan Executive Yuan. Li Goudan wrote a book at that time and killed Director Shao......
Jiang Zhiqiang let out a long breath, "I'm afraid that this matter will be used now." ”
Gong Jiapei fell silent.
"It seems that I still want Mr. Jiang to go to Wanwan. Gong Jiapei finally said.
"That's what I mean. ”
Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, "This matter is not suitable for publicity, but I still have to communicate with Director Wu." This kind of thing happened in Wanwan, it must have something to do with Director Wu. ”
"Could it be a Wanwan filmmaker?" Gong Jiapei said suddenly.
"You mean......" Jiang Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then frowned, picked up the document with his fingers, and looked at it.
"That's right. ”
Gong Jiapei explained: "In 1981, when Xinyicheng, which had only been established for one year, announced the establishment of a branch in Wanwan, the person in charge at that time was Mr. Yu, who became the head of the branch. ”
"Director Yu Huanping?" Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at Gong Jiapei.
"Yes, it's Director Yu Jianping"
Director Yu Huanping is the director of "The Wrong Car".
"Since the second year, New Arts City has begun to exert its strength in the Wanwan market, and in fact, there is a hidden situation here. The new art city was able to expand its business in Wanwan thanks to Wang Yingxiang, the boss of Longxiang Pictures, a big man in the Wanwan circle.
The so-called branch of Xinyicheng in Wanwan is actually registered in the name of Boss Wang's Yatai Film Company...... This kind of reciprocal investment and joint distribution has led to the combination of the Lisheng Cinemas Line under the Golden Princess of Hong Kong Island, the Chinese Cinemas in the Bay Area and the Cathay Pacific Cinemas in Southeast Asia to form a distribution network ......"
Since Gong Jiapei became the manager of the distribution department of Fengge Entertainment, he has carefully studied the information of major film companies in Xiangjiang, and he is already a distribution expert in the circle at this time, and he knows many insiders well, "In fact, in October 1985, Debao and Longtai signed a Wanwan distribution agency, and Wang Yingxiang is also behind Longtai!"
Jiang Zhiqiang was stunned.
"I need to discuss this matter with Director Wu, this time it is obviously the joint efforts of Wanwan's filmmakers!"
At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang had already discovered the problem.
With the development of Fengge Entertainment, the spicier and better, and at the same time, Xiangjiang's film industry has officially entered its peak, and the eight major film companies in Wanwan, including China Film, Scholars, Times, Longxiang, Xiongwei, and Judeng, have long been eyeing Xiangjiang's film production company, and Fengge Entertainment, which is second to none in Xiangjiang, is naturally their primary target.
However, Fengge Entertainment is different from Golden Harvest and New Art City, Fengge Entertainment itself has sufficient funds and does not need to introduce external funds at all, so these eight major filmmakers have approached Jiang Zhiqiang several times, and they want to participate in Fengge Entertainment's film investment, but Jiang Zhiqiang refused.
This time, the other party was obviously prepared.
wants to use the Wanwan market to force Fengge Entertainment to comply.
If you want to break this deadlock, then you need Wanwan's film companies to join the investment in the film, and Jiang Zhiqiang must have a talk with Wu Jianye about this kind of major event.
Soon, the Wanwan market's news of Fengge Entertainment spread all over Xiangjiang, and for a while, many film companies were watching how Fengge Entertainment was preparing to deal with this crisis.
You must know that in the past few years, Fengge Entertainment's annual revenue in Wanwan's market has been in units of 100 million yuan, if Wanwan's market really blocks Fengge Entertainment, then these film companies will also have to consider their follow-up plans.
Is it possible to get a piece of the pie?
However, the most unlucky is Golden Harvest, because Golden Harvest lent Zhang Manyu to Wu Jianye to shoot "New Dragon Gate Inn".
If Wanwan doesn't care about it, in fact, this matter doesn't matter at all, because Zhang Manyu is not really popular at this time, and Wanwan will not be serious with a small actor.
is just like Liu Dehao, who filmed "Running to the Angry Sea".
But now it's different, Wanwan's side is obviously aimed at Fengge Entertainment, so Zhang Manyu won't be let go.
Therefore, a document has been issued to Golden Harvest, and in the future, Wanwan will refuse to enter the Wanwan market for movies starring Zhang Manyu.
"What now?" He Guanchang sat opposite Zou Wenhuai and said with some concern.
Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment and asked, "Did Ah Long send back news from North America?"
Just two days ago, Phantom Entertainment officially sent an invitation to Golden Harvest, inviting Golden Harvest's ace Cheng Long to go to North America to star in an action movie.
At the mention of Cheng Long, He Guanchang showed a smile: "Ah Long has already called back, he likes the script of that movie very much, and there is also news from Phantom Entertainment that he will completely follow Ah Long's advice during the filming!"
Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Okay, let's reply to Wanwan, just say that we know, and we will not use Zhang Manyu to participate in our Jiahe movies in the future!"
It is obvious that Zou Wenhuai is ready to give up Zhang Manyu, for Zou Wenhuai at this time, the most important thing is Cheng Long's new film plan in Hollywood, as long as Cheng Long can make a name for himself in North America this time, it will be a strategic success for Golden Harvest.
So sacrificing a Zhang Manyu is too worthwhile for Jiahe.
He Guanchang said with some pity: "It's a pity, Zhang Manyu, an actress, is actually a very spiritual actress, if you cultivate it seriously, you may become a good actor in the future!"
Zou Wenhuai smiled, comforted his old partner, and said with a smile: "Is there a shortage of actresses in Xiangjiang?"
He Guanchang laughed self-deprecatingly: "That's right." ”
.......
Inside the Dragon Gate Inn!
At this time, what was being filmed was the picture of Jin Jiyu's first appearance, and this shot had been filmed for a day, but it had not met Wu Jianye's requirements.
And the problem appeared in Zhang Manyu, who Wu Jianye thought that there should not be a problem.
At this time, Zhang Manyu has not been able to enter the role of Jin Jiyu, and the feeling of performing is the same as Yuan A4's exaggerated performance in "Pancake Man", which makes people look extremely dramatic.......
However, at this time, Wu Jianye already knew the reason, that is, when Xu Wei was filming "New Dragon Gate Inn", Zhang Manyu's acting skills had already been trained through classic movies such as "Carmen in Mong Kok", "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks", "The True Story of A Fei", and "Ruan Lingyu".
So later, Zhang Manyu played the role of Jin Mosa, and it seemed that he was at ease, but now, Zhang Manyu is just seriously making his own vase.
Therefore, the role of gold and jade is naturally incomprehensible.
"Click!"
Wu Jianye stopped the performance again, his face was as black as a black pot, and the entire crew knew that Wu Jianye was very unhappy now.
Especially Zhang Manyu, who made a mistake, was even more aggrieved in her heart, she felt that she had obviously performed the feeling of gold inlaid jade, why was it just that.
"Ayu, your character is a boss lady with all kinds of charms, do you see what you are playing now?
Zhang Manyu showed a trace of grievance on his face, his eyes were slightly red, obviously he was reprimanded by Wu Jianye for some grievances.
"Okay, let's take a break, Ayu, you can figure out your role yourself, and forget all the worries in your heart!"
What are Zhang Manyu's concerns?
Naturally, it's an image problem, the amorous proprietress is broadcast, what should I do if I am misunderstood in Xiangjiang.
The crew fell silent at this time, no one wanted to touch Wu Jianye's moldy head at this time, everyone knew that it had been a day, and not even a single shot had passed, Wu Jianye at this time must be angry, who came out, who had an accident.
Didn't you see that Zhang Manyu, who was like a flower like jade, was scolded by Wu Jianye and was about to cry?
Zhang Manyu, who was sitting there alone, regretted taking this movie infinitely, not only to worry about the reaction of Wanwan, but also to face Wu Jianye, the tyrant on the set, how many times have he been scolded in a day today?
When the movie didn't start filming, didn't I feel that Wu Jianye was so annoying?
"Don't think about it, let's figure out this role!" Liang Jiahui finally walked over and comforted Zhang Manyu.
"Brother Hui......." Zhang Manyu looked at Liang Jiahui with red eyes.
Liang Jiahui smiled comfortingly: "The script, I've read it, I know what you're worried about, but now that you have taken over this play, don't think about anything else, those external factors will not help your performance, and even bring more trouble." ”
Zhang Manyu nodded and said, "I know." ”
"But, I really don't know how to play Jin Zhuyu?"
Liang Jiahui shook his head: "How come, when I rehearsed before, I watched your performance, at that time, you acted very well, just take out the mentality at that time, I have already read the script, do you want me to help you analyze it." ”
"Thank you, Brother Hui!"
Seeing Liang Jiahui comforting Zhang Manyu over there, Wu Jianye didn't say anything, but soon Dai Zhen ran over.
"Brother, there's a call from Xiangjiang!"
