Chapter 174: Lao Zhang's routine

As soon as he heard the news, Pao Hui was a little confused.

What do you mean?

I have a theater and am I guilty?

"He said he was going to ban us!"

"Why?"

Pao Hui only thinks it's a little ridiculous, it's ridiculous in the world, you are a company that produces movies and wants to block theaters?

Yes, the quality of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is good, Lao Mouzi's best work in recent years, but you have blocked the theater, where will your movie be screened? Isn't this a practice of hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred!

“… I don't know, maybe it's because we are the most direct competitors!"

Ye Xuan was also a little confused, and no one could figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Lao Zhang's gourd.

"Whatever, what's the matter, what's the matter, we'll announce it normally!"

Since you can't guess it, don't guess.

"If they raise the price, let's keep the original price and don't move, they want 45 percent, and we want 43 percent; by the way, don't participate in Zhang Weipin's scolding war, this person has a problem with his brain!"

After briefly listening to Zhang Weipin's routine, Xu Hui pursed his lips and said that the clouds were light and the wind was light.

Lao Zhang's brain is in the water, Chinese films have now entered the era of theaters, and they actually provoke theaters?

Something that neither Feng Xiaogang nor Huayi dared to do!

At most, I will tear it up with the help of Weibo and write a "Letter from Pan Jinlian to Mr. Wang Jianlin" or something...

There are all kinds of grievances throughout the article, and the meaning expressed is that you don't remember the villain, so let's arrange some films.

Tsk, Zhang Weipin did the opposite.

What a kind!

"Director Xu, Zhang Weipin said in an interview some time ago, 'Everyone has seen 3D movies, except for "Avatar", which one has become?', should we respond?"

“… Forget it, don't respond, anyway, let's go first, word of mouth will go out, and see what he says when the time comes!

……

Zhang Weipin is a person, Xu Hui's perception of him is a bit complicated.

He has contributed to Chinese films, especially to major film companies!

He made 11 films of Zhang Yimou, starting from the first "My Father and Mother" to the last "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", it was Zhang Weipin who raised the proportion of China's film production industry from 35% to 43%, arching one point every year, and arching one point for each film.

The producer of Chinese films is divided according to 43% of the box office, and the Chinese production is also the lowest in the world, and the global account is 55%!

So at this point, Zhang Weipin is a contribution to the industry.

It's just that in terms of publicity, he goes a little too far.

In the 2009 Chinese New Year, he bombarded "China Film", saying that "Three Guns" was "unfairly treated", and even reprimanded Han Shanping, the boss of China Film, as a "mountain carving" who engaged in a personality cult.

For insiders who questioned the vulgarity of "Three Guns", he directly raised "envy, jealousy and hatred", which made this sentence popular to this day.

Not only that, the publicity period of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has arrived, Zhang Weipin sent a press release to various media in the name of the new picture, and then a text of the starring Nini was selected by a web portal and placed in an important position on the web page, with the title "I play a bed scene with Christian Bale"...

This is quite embarrassing, especially for the creators of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

People have worked hard for half a year to film, but you put the main publicity point on the bed scene?

Even Zhang Yimou, who never asked about the publicity, said: "There are so many places to talk about the movie, how can the new picture seize such a vulgar point and use it to hype? The grade is too low, and it is simply ruining the labor of the staff." It's like a good child who sells it to a brothel and shows it off, people have spent so much effort, and now it will be sad to see us put our interest here. It's not propaganda, it's troublemaking!"

In addition to the bed scene, Lao Zhang's wave also caught the investment of 600 million yuan and the expected box office of 1 billion yuan.

Someone questioned Zhang Yimou's box office appeal, and he was anxious: "It has been 100 years since Chinese films came to this day, which director has surpassed Zhang Yimou's influence in the world? So do you compare the films of other directors with Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins"? I am not worried about the 1 billion box office at all, I don't believe that we will look at it. I dare to sacrifice my life for righteousness, this is self-confidence, and I like to tell the truth. ”

Well, you just like to pretend to be forced!

"Now there are three companies in Hollywood that are talking to me about the agency of this film, so I collect 1 billion from China, 10 billion at least I take back 6 billion, and those 200 million, more than 30 million US dollars in Hollywood, how big is it? With an actor like Bale, let's not say that his "Batman" made 1 billion US dollars, can we get 100 million US dollars? No problem, how can it be more than "Hero"? So, I must be prepared!"

"The reason for banning Huiwen is that they have repeatedly defaulted on our due share, and we should be punished for such a company that does not pay attention to integrity! When the time comes, what will I do if I see his 80 movie theaters! A movie theater without movie screenings is an empty shell!"

Generally, after the movie is released, it will take half a year to give them the producer's share, of course, Zhang Yimou's movie is an exception, and the theater will allocate the due share to the new picture in advance.

This also caused Zhang Weipin to subconsciously believe that he and the new picture are the most special!

Huiwen Cinema Line has never been accustomed to his stinky problems, and in accordance with the regulations, he postponed the payment of the share, which in Zhang Weipin's opinion is provoking him!

"Don't fight back, don't scold back, don't raise fares"

Huiwen Tianxia issued an official response to Zhang Weipin's remarks: "We have clearly announced the three noes principle, one of which is that Huiwen will never take the initiative to participate in any 'propaganda and scolding war'. As a professional listed film company, we only use professional publicity methods to promote the film itself. ”

……

Zhang Weipin is pretending to be forced, but Xu Hui is distressed.

Of course, he is not worried that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is menacing, anyway, "New Dragon Gate Inn" will be released a week earlier than "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

We don't scare him!

As for what Zhang Weipin said, he blocked Huiwen Cinema.

It doesn't matter, let's just play "New Dragon Gate Inn" and experience the feeling of 100% film scheduling!

What he is worried about is the casting problem of "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated"!

"Brother Wen, you say, why can't I find a suitable actress?"

“… I read your script, what do you think, how did you turn Dongfang Undefeated into a woman?"

Huang Wen did not answer positively, but looked at Xu Hui with admiration.

“… I, I'm just a picker at best. ”

Pao Hui waved his hand, and then asked, "There are still two choices, Zhang Ziyi or Fan Bingbing, which do you think is more suitable?"

“… Xu Hui: Why do we need outsiders? Can't we build a superstar ourselves?"
