Verse 443: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
“…… In the 70s and 80s of the last century, the Hong Kong film industry was known for its efficiency, and many films only took two or three months or even a few weeks from production to release, and this period is also widely regarded as the golden age of Hong Kong films...... The rapid production speed ensures that the frequency of updates of Xiangjiang films, and new movies can be released almost every week, which is almost inconceivable for a region with a total population of less than 10 million in Xiangjiang, and at such a speed, the market needs more industry insiders...... The exposed Duane's work plan reminds people of the golden age of Xiangjiang films, and makes people wonder if time is turned back and brought us back to Xiangjiang 30 years ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, judging from the work plan, even in that era, Duane's production efficiency stood out from the crowd......"
"......'God destroys man, he must first make him mad,' a phrase that comes to mind when I see the revelation of Duane's work plan. There is no doubt that Du An's talent is beyond doubt in the entertainment industry in the past two years: he has won many awards at the Huabiao Awards in a row, every movie has been a box office hit, and a single movie has broken a world record at the box office, and his talent is beyond doubt. But the constant victories seem to have overwhelmed his head, and if we think about it carefully, we will also be shocked to find that this successful person who combines director, actor, screenwriter and other professions is actually only 26 years old this year, and most young people have not even done career planning at this age, and Duane is now the owner of two companies, the record holder of the total box office of more than 8 billion movies, and a billionaire worth more than 100 million...... There is no doubt that the young man swelled in the face of such an easy success...... In fact, Duane has always been an inflated person, which can be seen from the fact that he shouted in the air before the release of "Liberation Day" that he would break the box office of 3 billion...... success of "Liberation Day" may not be a good thing for this young man - it is obvious that this incident has further inflated this young man's self-confidence......"
“…… The reporter of this newspaper tried to contact Duane about the truth of the incident, but Duane's phone has not been able to get through, so the reporter contacted Duan's agent, Mr. Feng Kang, but Feng Kang did not express any opinion on this matter, neither affirmed nor denied, but only said 'no comment'...... As of press time, the Duane side has not responded positively to this incident, and this newspaper will continue to pay attention to this matter and bring you first-hand information......"
“…… Having been on the top spot at the box office for less than two months before being ousted was a disappointment for Duane, who was still proud in November, and he may be in a hurry to prove himself again at the box office, but it was clear that he had no faith in his new film...... Throwing out five movies at one time and winning by volume, even if each one only has a box office of one billion, the five films add up to five billion, but what comes out in such a short time and in batches, even if Duane is in charge, can it really achieve an average box office of one billion?......"
In the overwhelming reports, either neutral or looking down on Duane's behavior, there were not many flag-waving and shouting loudly.
It's not that the media don't give face, but because there are really few people who dare to applaud with a clear conscience -- judging from the information exposed, Duane basically has the idea of "casting a wide net and making more money" this time, that is, he is going in the direction of discounting his fame, what can this be filmed? And the time is still so rushed, the time to make a "Liberation Day" is now used to make 5 movies, and it is even more impossible to produce good works, so ah, no one really has confidence in the work plan he exposed.
But there are still some exceptions, such as "Nanyang City Daily", which is different from the title alone.
"King of the World - Duane" ......
Just looking at the titles, I thought that Duane's works had been released, with a box office of three billion, but the fact is that these movies have just been exposed to some production news, and I don't even know the names of several movies.
Of course, this reporter named Wu Jun didn't care, he still used his usual "fantasy novel-style" penmanship to write his press release, and blew it blindly with his eyes closed.
In his pen, the media don't want to pay attention to the pen and ink and are too lazy to waste those cats and dogs who don't know where to appear, Wei Rongchen and Qin Qi or something, all of them have changed, this is "a photographer from a poor background, ancient and modern, very talented in photography, and his best skill is to shoot with his eyes closed and his heart is closed", that is "the rich second-generation son, who only loves acting and does not like to inherit the family business, and came to Jiangnan alone to wander in a street performance to show his acting talent that shocked the past and the present, and was favored by Du An", and " The owner of the scrap yard has been dealing with waste light bulbs for many years, and has developed a unique skill called 'Blurred Light'", anyway, there is no normal person, all of them are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, they are all templates for the protagonists of fantasy novels, all of them are peerless masters, and their skills are all out of the category of normal human beings - yes, photographers who can shoot with their eyes closed are really not normal human beings.
And with such a non-human superpower team to film, can these scenes not be good-looking? Can the box office not be high?
In one word, impossible!
As for the problem of lack of time and lack of skills that everyone thought of, Wu Jun didn't even bother with it -- how could it be that he lacked skills? This is Duane! The character who has created one miracle after another is much smarter than you, and can he not think of the problems you can think of? He must have "arranged the production of several films with an advanced overall planning method that is down to the second," and he must have been able to "evenly wet the rain and dew" As for the specific method, only Duane himself knows, and mortals such as me don't have to worry about eating radish salt.
There is also the reason why Duane did this, Wu Jun believes that "Duane's film concept has far surpassed that of today's film practitioners", he is "looking at the entire film industry from a strategic height, not just from the perspective of one or two films themselves", and it is also from a strategic height, Duane "found that there is a problem in the direction of Chinese films", and he is now "using his own way to subtly change the pattern of the Chinese film industry", "driving the boat at the helm", " To ensure that the giant wheel of Chinese films can sail in the right direction", "this may be a small step for Duane, but it is a big step for Chinese films", Duane is already far above everyone in terms of the pattern alone.
Anyway, the reporter of "Nanyang City Daily" is just a blind \ forced blowing, fantasy blowing, stunned to write a news report more mysterious than a fantasy novel, whoever wants to believe it is a fool. But though no one would believe it, the newspaper sold so well that it was out of stock in a short time: on the one hand, it was differentiated competition, and it stood out on the side that no one dared to stand, and on the other hand, because the exaggerated headline was bright and prominent in the cold-toned headline.
In addition to this kind of tabloid, "Nanyang Evening News", the newspaper that exclusively exposed this matter on the first day, stood on the side of Duan a little in the public opinion stream on the second day, in the end, it was Nanyang's own family, but it didn't stand too much on Duan's side, after all, Duan's side really can't stand firmly, they are big newspapers, and they can't be as blind as tabloids, so they can only stand a little bit, and then how to write from a fair and objective point of view.
And when the outside world was disturbing, Duane, as the party concerned, did not pay much attention to the reaction of the media.
He left the post-work at hand, rushed from Nanyang to Shanghai overnight, and was now sitting in Feng Kang's office in Paramount, looking up at Feng Kang, who had just opened the door and walked in, and asked, "Have you found out who it is?"
Some people may think that this is another hype by Duane, and some media have vaguely mentioned it, but God can see mercy, this is really not a hype deliberately leaked by Duane. He really planned to do this secretly this time, and he also gave a gag order on the staff, but he didn't expect that there would be a traitor in the party/country.
Feng Kang nodded and reported a name.
"Easy to lock flat. ”
It's a name Duane hasn't heard.
Then Feng Kang casually threw a thin file in front of him.
Duane picked up the file and opened it, threw it down without looking at it, was silent for a long time, and spit out four words.
"Rabble......
After the incident, he had already gone around a hundred times in his heart, thought of all kinds of possibilities, and the more he thought about it, the farther he thought, but he didn't expect the truth to be so simple - that is, an employee vaguely mentioned this matter with a show-off mentality when chatting with a friend, and it just so happened that his friend's wife was a reporter from the "Nanyang Evening News", and immediately realized the newsworthiness of this incident. Then under the Jinyuan offensive, the small employees in this small theater couldn't resist it, and secretly took a lot of photos to sell the news.
When he saw the number on the document, Duane was a little helpless - had he not seen the money?
In the end, it has not yet developed, and the current team is indeed a group of uninformed rabble.
"If something like this happens, I can't escape the blame, because I didn't manage the team well to make such a mistake, and I will punish myself. ”
Feng Kang first did a self-examination, and then said: "But the most important thing now is to decide how to deal with this matter, whether it is light or serious, private or public?"
Duane is sitting here, so the final decision is up to Duane.
Duane thought for a while and said categorically: "Fight a lawsuit." ”
Since the matter can no longer be covered, it is better to push the boat with the current and simply make the matter bigger.
Don't you all like to watch the excitement?
