Chapter 55: Indefinite Postponement!—5/5

Probably Zhang Junsheng is too honest, which makes people feel that he is a pure filmmaker!

Don't forget, there is the Zhang family standing behind him!

It is estimated that Dongyang Media is in a hurry...

The investment in "1942" is said to be as high as 200 million, but the overseas copyright cannot be sold at all.

The afternoon before yesterday, "Sanlian" published an article "1942 North America was tragically returned".

The article pointed out that Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Films directly sold $5 million after watching the "1942" film, and paid $500,000 in advance to buy the overseas rights of "1942".

But a few months later, Harvey, who had finished watching "1942", was so disappointed with the quality that he insisted on returning "1942" and didn't even want a deposit.

Not only that, because "1942" was returned, Hollywood has doubts about the quality of Chinese films, and even Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou's new films are difficult to sell...

It's a real thing!

The matter of "Triptych", of course, is to combat "1942"...

Is there anything more devastating than an overseas return?

This is a normal procedure, Zhang Junsheng doesn't think there is anything wrong...

To be honest, he still admires "1942"!

The evaluation of "1942" is three words, bloody, cruel, cruel.

Ma Xiaokang is in place in expressing these three words.

The bombardment and final bayonet insertion of the Japanese was bloody and cruel;

The inaction of the national government, or rather perverseness, is cruel;

Under this external repression, human nature also became cruel, and this was the manifestation of the Great Famine.

People with a little historical knowledge can see the conscious or unconscious insinuation of this film, and the Kuomintang's retreat from Taiwan in the end credits is particularly dazzling.

It's a good movie!

Zhang Junsheng also plans to arrange a few more shows to help shout on Weibo, now, shout a hair!

Lao Guo said: "You scold me, I take a step back, you scold me again, I take a step back, I am stuck to the wall behind me, you still don't give up, smoke you!"

Of course, this sentence does not apply to Zhang Junsheng, his general practice is that if you scold me, Lao Tzu will whip you!

……

The day after the statement was issued, the Huang brothers were told that "1942" involved an unspeakable part and could not be screened for the time being...

Not only that, but in front of the Huang brothers is the "Review Opinions on the Movie "1942", which is a document sent from there this morning, or an addition, clearly instructing: "Think carefully, have a correct attitude, and will not deal with it in the short term." ”

Ma Xiaokang is about to cry...

"What now?"

A few days ago, I was allowed to revise it, and now I won't deal with it, which is properly killed!

Since the sixth generation surfaced, Jiang Wen lifted the ban, and his Ma Xiaokang's movie was actually killed...

Huang Zhonglei proposed: "... Let Lao Fei organize a water army, we can use the people's hearts on the Internet!"

If the opinions on the Internet are useful, why should Weibo close those well-known Weibo accounts?"

Ma Xiaokang has no tricks, he is good at it, he has never experienced this kind of pressure from the upper level, and Han Shanping helped to recruit before...

“… I'll ask the third master!"

"1942", China Film also participated...

"Xiaokang, let me tell you clearly, you Dongyang provoked the wrong person, Yuehua Media was listed on the peak, Zhang Junsheng's uncle is now in charge of Wenxuan, he confronted China Film head-on last time, I didn't dare to do it casually, you are really bold!"

"Leader, I really don't know about this, I just followed behind to sign..."

Han Shanping sighed: "What's the use of talking about this now? I was scolded by the top!"

“… Leader, then you say, there is no chance?"

"Wait for half a year, the limelight has passed, and "1942" should be released!"

“… No, all the capital chains of our company are pressed on "1942", and if it can't be released as scheduled, the capital chain will be broken!"

Han Shanping lowered his voice: "Unless you can find Zhang Qinian to help you speak!"

He didn't say Zhang Junsheng, he directly said Zhang's father's name...

“… Got it. ”

Hanging up the phone, facing the concerned eyes of the Huang brothers, Ma Xiaokang spoke: "It was Zhang Junsheng who did it!"

Huang Zhongjun has long since lost the gentle and elegant he has always been: "... I know he did it, is it possible to unblock it?"

"Unless it's about Zhang Junsheng or Zhang Qinian!"

“… Zhong Lei, plus Lao Fei, let's go to visit Zhang Qinian together!"

……

The ban on "1942" began to circulate on Weibo on a small scale, and it was the voice released by Yuehua, mainly to test the reaction of netizens:

"Grapevine, "1942" was killed because it violated some sensitive points..."

"The day before yesterday, it was said that it was scheduled for December 24, how could it be so fast?"

"Whatever he does, he will kill himself if he commits many acts of injustice!"

"I don't agree, the judgment of the movie should be handed over to the audience, if the director makes a bad movie, the audience will naturally not sell it. If we distort the facts, we will naturally be exposed, instead of letting others choose what to show us!"

"Actually, I also hate those traitorous directors, to be honest, a large part of their fame is based on the ban on films. However, I am firmly against banning movies! I believe that the audience has their own judgment, and we know how to watch movies better than you do. ”

"I think it's a good thing, taking advantage of the national pain points to make money, this kind of movie shouldn't have been made in the first place!"

"According to you, Spielberg shouldn't have made 'The Hinter List'?"

There was a lot of discussion, and it was roughly divided into three factions:

One faction believes that the killing of Ma Xiaokang's "1942" is a good thing, otherwise, there will definitely be more directors who will trade with national pain points in the future;

The other school of thought believes that all movies should not be banned;

Of course, most people think it doesn't matter...

The Lunar New Year stalls lack Ma Xiaokang, and it's nothing, and everyone in this world will run as usual without it...

……

"Sanlian" reported that "1942" may encounter censorship: "Ma Xiaokang, the king of the Chinese New Year file, has a new work "1942" that is highly anticipated.

Claimed to have an investment of 200 million, from the time of filming, Ma Xiaokang said that he wanted to make a film that reflected the national disaster...

However, there has always been a not-so-smooth tone, and it has not been released for a long time...

The most recent release time was on December 24, but the reporter called the major theaters in Beijing and found that this schedule may be yellow.

According to an insider, the film has been killed twice by the Film Bureau.

The reporter got the news from reliable sources that although "1942" was remade and deleted, it still failed to pass the censorship, and the film may have no hope of being released in China.

And industry insiders who have seen the rough cut version before said that it is a pity...

If "1942" cannot be released, Dongyang Media may suffer huge losses!"

Nonsense, the overseas copyright has not been sold, and we can only count on the domestic investment to be recovered, it is said that Huang Zhongjun mortgaged the house for "1942"!

Before netizens could discuss, a message circulated on the Internet: 'Zhang Junsheng's identity is not simple, his uncle is in charge of the film department, and it is said that the death of "1942" this time has a lot to do with him...'
