Chapter 499: It's Okay, There's Me!
"Why didn't you give it?" Ren Yan's voice was puzzled.
The final film of "Tunnel" was edited by himself in strict accordance with the regulations of the relevant departments on film publication review.
What shouldn't be, nothing.
In the original film, the satire of the Bangguo government, in order to avoid suspicion, Ren Yandu changed it to the collusion between an official of the Bangguo and a private construction company, which led to the tragedy of the tunnel tofu slag project.
It stands to reason that this type of film is in line with the current grading review system in the Celestial Empire.
There were films that were more straightforward and explicit than this before.
Originally, Ren Yan thought that He Mingxuan would give him an explanation, but what he didn't expect was that He Mingxuan also seemed to be in a state of confusion.
"I don't know the specific reason, I just received the news, which roughly means that our film has to be postponed and the review time has to be extended. ”
After saying this, He Mingxuan paused and continued to add: "Because many people in our company were dug up from the original big factory, some of them are quite familiar with the people in the relevant departments, I asked someone to ask, but there will be no news until the evening." ”
After asking He Mingxuan a few more words, Ren Yan hung up the phone.
He was thinking about buying an island in the Maldives to be the owner before, but at this time he has lost interest in this area.
Because the film "Tunnel" came out earlier than expected, the time for submission for review was more generous than Ren Yan's original plan, which made Ren Yan directly pull Zhang Yuxin out for vacation after arranging for "Tunnel" to be sent for review by the company.
In the original plan, everything went smoothly, but there was a problem with the audit at this juncture.
This made Ren Yan's mood a little boring now.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuxin, who was wearing a swimsuit, walked over, holding two glasses of juice in her hand, and after handing one to Ren Yan, she spoke.
"This sun, we guess we'll have to wait for the next time. ”
Ren Yan made a somewhat helpless grimace to Zhang Yuxin that he thought was cute.
……
That night, on the Gulfstream G650 on the return trip.
Ren Yan received a call from He Mingxuan.
Regarding the review of "Tunnel", He Mingxuan has already asked someone to come out.
What surprised Ren Yan was that the reason for the postponement of the review and the extension of the review time was not the problem of the movie itself as he thought.
In other words, the resistance to moderation has little to do with the content of the film.
But there is something else going on.
In the phone call with He Mingxuan for more than half an hour, Ren Yan got some fragmentary information from He Mingxuan's side, but after the company's internal professionals analyzed it, the conclusions reached were not far from the truth.
"Tunnel" was given a reply by the relevant department to postpone the review and extend the review time, which is artificial.
A supervisor of the relevant department did not agree to release the film during the Spring Festival, so he decided to postpone it to the Spring Festival file and give Yanyu Pictures a review reply.
The direct cause is such a situation.
Ren Yan, who hung up the phone, raised his eyebrows.
Although it seems that on the surface, the relevant departments feel that this movie should not be released during the Spring Festival, or for other reasons......
Anyway, I just don't want you to release it during the Spring Festival.
For film practitioners, the relevant departments responsible for reviewing and grading are the last and most important checkpoints.
They nodded, no problem.
They shook their heads, and there was no other way but to cater to satisfy them.
But this is based on the premise that there is an element of failure in the film itself.
"Tunnel" is in line with the current grading review system of the Celestial Empire, and it can pass the review, and the specific reason why it cannot pass the review is not because of the problem of the film itself.
Rather, it is the result of manipulation.
Thinking about it like this, Ren Yan's first thought was that someone wanted to mess with himself.
No one will let a film that can pass the review pass the review if they are full, because there is a considerable share of commercial films, which are all given to the state in the end.
In other words, whether the movie sells well at the box office or not, the country makes money.
Movies that meet the criteria of the review and classification system, logically, there is no reason to do so.
Unless someone wants to themselves.
used some means to prevent "Tunnel" from being released on the Spring Festival as scheduled.
Although he is in the entertainment industry, Ren Yan's position in the entertainment industry may not be the highest, but it must be the most transcendent.
Because he has no conflict of interest with anyone.
Ren Yan is not playing in this circle for profit, in the eyes of everyone, Ren Yan is playing for the sake of "playing".
Then this person who wants to engage himself has already locked down the target.
Except for Director Zhou, who has recently had conflicts with him, Ren Yan can't think of a second reasonable candidate.
"This old man is determined to go down with me, is he sick......" Ren Yan felt strange in his heart.
Because he exposed Director Zhou's small actions in private on Weibo before, he was also in absolute upper hand in the later lawyer's letter, which directly led to Director Zhou's "Wishing You Prosperity" to be released during this year's Spring Festival, which will inevitably be boycotted by some people.
That is to say, Director Zhou, who could have won the Golden Tiger Award through this year's "Wishing you prosperity", has little hope after the previous series of events.
In such a situation, Director Zhou still has to be just with himself, which is completely a way to damage himself by a thousand and injure the enemy by eight.
Director Zhou's state of mind can be summarized like this:
"Anyway, there is a high probability that the Golden Tiger Award will not be won, so don't think that your film can be released during the Spring Festival. Don't fight for anything else, don't steam steamed buns, let you know who is the one who counts in the film and television industry!"
It seems to be quite childish motives, but Ren Yan didn't feel particularly naïve.
In the past, in addition to eating melons, netizens watched it happily, and people in the film and television industry were also watching the excitement.
Because the matter of the Golden Tiger Award has almost been yellowed, if Director Zhou can't get back face in the confrontation with himself, then in the hearts of others in the film and television industry, Director Zhou's "prestige" will decline.
I can't even get a newcomer, how can I convince myself in the future?
He must tell those who watch the excitement to prove the reasonableness of the phrase "your uncle is always your uncle", otherwise, he is determined to win the Golden Tiger Award as a brilliant director Zhou before retirement, because of this year's loss, so in the future he will have to launch an offensive against the "Golden Tiger Award", and then there will be any crooked melons and cracked dates to make trouble, and this matter will be endless.
Director Zhou must let these people in the film and television industry know that don't mess with him, you have to pay the price if you mess with him.
"So...... It may be just a euphemism to postpone the review and extend the review time......"
Ren Yan took a sip of champagne and glanced sideways at Zhang Yuxin, who was sleeping next to him.
"This thing, I guess I made up my mind that I don't want "Tunnel" to be released in China......"
Saying this sentence to himself, Ren Yan did not become depressed because of this.
Originally, he was indeed a little worried about this, but now that the reason has been guessed, there is nothing to worry about.
Next, it's time to start solving the problem.
……
On the afternoon of February 8.
So far, the things about himself and Director Zhou on the Internet are still stuck in the lawyer's letter sent by Director Zhou to Yanyu Pictures and the crew of "Tunnel".
There is no update information about Director Zhou.
As for Ren Yan's movements, it was only after the finale press conference of "Tunnel" that he posted a show of affection with Zhang Yuxin to the Maldives to bask in the sun.
As for the obstacles encountered in the submission of "Tunnel" for review, at present, in addition to some professionals from Yanyu Pictures and He Mingxuan, only Ren Yan and Zhang Yuxin know.
Even the crew didn't know about it.
In the first- and second-tier cities of the Celestial Empire, whether it is buses, subways, commercial streets, shopping malls, and movie theaters, the promotional posters and advertisements of "Tunnel" are still being placed everywhere.
Fans and fans don't know the current situation of "Tunnel".
In order to give "Tunnel" the greatest publicity and cover major theaters across the country, when "Tunnel" was just put into filming, Ren Yan had already arranged for He Mingxuan to discuss cooperation with major advertisers and major theaters.
In many contracts, the specific release date of the Spring Festival file has even been written in black and white.
If it can't be released on time, Ren Yan will have to pay a high amount of liquidated damages.
But for him, the word high can be removed.
Regarding the fact that the current tunnel submission process is not smooth, Ren Yan does not intend to do it.
It's that he needs to weigh something.
On the afternoon of 8 February, after asking He Mingxuan to find those people who had a relationship with the relevant departments to find a way through various connections to no avail, Ren Yan made up his mind.
Ming people are not afraid to do dark things.
Although there is no evidence that Director Zhou did this, he can use his own Weibo to guide netizens to guess Director Zhou from the perspective of the supervisor.
Ren Yan posted a Weibo post of more than 1,000 words.
The content did not mention anything related to Director Zhou, but truthfully informed netizens of the current situation encountered by "Tunnel" during the review process.
However, although there is no explicit hint at Director Zhou's words, when explaining that the review of "Tunnel" was blocked, Ren Yan repeatedly mentioned a fact.
That is, "Tunnel" is fully in compliance with the film classification review regulations of the relevant departments.
This is to tell everyone that "Tunnel" should have been approved, but because some of the reasons that even the producers themselves don't know what the reason is, it has now been stopped by the relevant departments and the review process has been lengthened.
Word by word, it's all the truth, and there is not a word of fabrication.
When this Weibo was sent, netizens' emotions exploded again.
Although most people at this time still think that "Tunnel" is a work that cannot be put on the table, after all, it took Ren Yan only nine days to shoot such a movie.
They have doubts about the quality of the film, but in fact, there are not many people who buy it, except for Ren Yan and Zhang Yuxin's fans.
But it needs to be clarified......
Ren Yan plus the number of Zhang Yuxin's fans, if not 100 million, but 70 or 80 million......
The reality in front of us is that in the eyes of netizens, "Tunnel" has changed from an officially defined disaster film to an idol film.
Even if the movie is not released, many fans are already thinking about going to see the premiere.
Whether it's a bad movie or not, there are many people who want to pay for Ren Yan or Zhang Yuxin.
This makes Ren Yan's Weibo posted, and there are still few people who still firm their attitude and question "Tunnel" in the comment area.
More of them, they are shouting confusion and shouting injustice for "Tunnel".
The confused people are confused, and the people who cry out for "The Tunnel" are crying out for the wrongs.
Of course, there are also some people who question the review mechanism of the relevant departments.
In general, most people, because of Ren Yan's announcement of the review of "Tunnel", have more or less wanted to know the truth and understand the reason.
As a result, the non-governmental leaders from all sides began to analyze.
But the person who can analyze the real situation does not appear.
Everyone is in a foggy situation.
After seeing such a reaction on the Internet, Ren Yan could only sigh silently.
"Gogo has seen you...... Usually catch the junior, guess who cuckolds whom, see which female star has plastic surgery, who and who is lip-syncing, all of you are sharp-eyed......"
"How come it is that when you get here, no one can see clearly?"
In addition to sighing, Ren Yan did not completely blame netizens for not opening their brains enough this time.
After all, I analyzed it from a subjective perspective and came to the conclusion that this matter is related to Director Zhou.
But in the eyes of others, they don't know enough about themselves, they don't know that they have no grudges with anyone in the entertainment industry, and outsiders don't know their specific information.
So I can't think of Director Zhou for a while, and it's not something that can't be said.
After all, who would have thought that a big director would actually rely on the relationship between the relevant departments to target his opponents?
In such a situation, Ren Yan felt a little helpless for the first time.
He has no clue how to deal with the problems that "Tunnel" is facing now.
Most of the problems encountered in the past can be solved through money.
But this time is different.
