In November, all Hollywood movies in the Chinese market have died down, and only the faces of Chinese actors are printed on posters, trailers, and promotional brochures in every theater in major cities in China. 【Full text reading】%し

In this strongest battlefield of Chinese filmmakers, a peculiar phenomenon has arisen for the first time, that is, only three new movies have been released in the whole month of December.

The most eye-catching "Vote for Fame", "Assembly Number" occupied almost all the mainstream media's publicity resources, and even domestic celebrities began to help their respective camps speak out on various occasions.

On TV, Fan Bingbin, the big beauty of Huayi Brothers, was full of praise when referring to "Assembly Number" in an interview:

"This year, I think the most anticipated film is "Assembly" directed by Xiao Gang, I have watched the sample film, it is really very good, it is hard to imagine that this is a war scene shot in China, I think this film directed by Xiao Gang will make the mainland film market climb to a peak again."

And the king of comedy, Zhou Xingzhi, also mentioned "Assembly" when attending a film festival: "I think this time director Xiaogang will definitely be able to surpass the level of "No Thieves in the World", Zhang Hanyu is indeed very good, and he is a seriously underrated actor. ”

Even Zhang Ziyi, who was preparing to shoot "Mei Lanfang" and receiving Peking Opera training, did not hesitate to choose "Assembly Number" when the reporter asked: "Which movie do you want to watch the most today".

On the other hand, under the huge influence of the China Film Group camp, Zhang Guoli, Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Qiusheng, Wu Zhenyu...... and a large number of actors, all of whom have called Chen Kexin's upcoming "Casting a Name" on various occasions "an epic of Chinese films", a "Chinese masterpiece that surpasses "Hero", and "is hopeful to be shortlisted for next year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film". "Wait.

In contrast, the weight of "Dear" supporters on the side of the Shangying camp is much smaller, except for Zhao Wei and Chen Kun of Yanying who said that they would watch "Dear", the others are just some Internet celebrities, well-known netizens and the like who express their support.

Compared with these remarks, the 200 million declaration of "Gu Zhentian" was regarded as a joke after everyone's tea and dinner, and it was spread more widely.

Gu Xiaofan's Weibo has been filled with all kinds of sarcastic remarks, Gu Xiaofan simply put the interview on "Global Screen" at the top and put it there for netizens to crusade.

"I'll just see how Gu Xiaofan can get 200 million~"

"I laughed at Gu Zhentian's."

"This is too heartless, the trailer is really boring, it's still 200 million, I see 20 million hanging!"

And when the fans who supported Gu Xiaofan were angry and wanted to fight back, Gu Xiaofan sent several Weibo persuasions in a row, so that they all kept restraint, and Gu Xiaofan's diehard fans just silently pushed the most arrogant reply "like" to the highest.

"If Gu Zhentian's broken movie can win 200 million, I will eat the keyboard live!" A well-known internet joker replied.

Fans are silently reading in their hearts, wait! They believe that Brother Xiaofan can slap this person hard at the box office during the Chinese New Year, and then whip the corpse again!

When the declaration of "Gu Zhentian's 200 million" reached the ears of Chu Qiubai, chairman of Shanghai Film Group, Chu Qiubai was very worried and specially invited him and He Tiejun to his home for dinner.

Chu Qiubai was full of worries, Gu Xiaofan was the key figure in the revival of Shangying, but he seemed to be starting to swell too much now, what the young genius was most afraid of was to climb to a high place too early, and then fall down heavily, and he would probably collapse.

At the dinner table, Chu Qiubai found an opportunity and tried to persuade Gu Xiaofan quietly:

"Director Gu, your style of action should still be low-key, we Chinese have always admired people who do things quietly and emotionally, when a humble person succeeds, everyone will give warm applause for his efforts, even if they fail, no one will laugh at them."

You put yourself in the light now, you are too high-profile, you talk about your goals publicly, and if you don't reach it, everyone will know that you have failed, and people will repeatedly take it out and ridicule you in the future. ”

Gu Xiaofan listened to this, but only smiled: "Our voice is already small, if we don't make a little more high-profile, we will definitely be drowned out by the propaganda offensive of China Film and Huayi." ”

"But you are sacrificing your reputation......" Chu Qiubai looked at him meaningfully, for Shangying, this "Dear" is not important, anyway, there is no box office hope, Chu Qiubai is afraid that Gu Xiaofan will also consume the prestige he has just built......

"If I make a bad movie, I will naturally lose my own reputation." Gu Xiaofan just shrugged his shoulders lightly and said:

"But if I make a good movie, these abusive voices will unite those real fans and make my reputation better."

These words choked Chu Qiubai so much that he couldn't speak, I don't know where Gu Xiaofan's extremely arrogant confidence came from......

"Moreover, China Film and Huayi are not my competitors." Gu Xiaofan smiled and sandwiched the dishes.

"They are not opponents, so who are our opponents?" At this moment, even He Tiejun couldn't understand it.

Gu Xiaofan suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and there was a high-spirited light in his eyes, looking at Chu Qiubai and He Tiejun:

"This Lunar New Year stall is not just a competition for box office data for us, but has a deeper level of strategic significance. We want to use this Chinese New Year file to let China Film and Huayi see the power we have in Shangying, and let all domestic filmmakers understand that we have enough strength to resist Hollywood. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Xiaofan's voice was lowered:

"Only in this way can we become the leader of domestic films, gather the strength of the industry, and compete with our opponents......

Our goal in the studio should be on the global level, and our real opponent is only one ......"

As soon as he said this, Chu Qiubai and He Tiejun both stopped the chopsticks in their hands and glanced at each other, they didn't speak, they both knew who Gu Xiaofan's opponent was.

Hollywood's Big 8 Studios...... A behemoth that filmmakers all over the world can't match.

He Tiejun felt that Gu Xiaofan was too exaggerated, and couldn't help but say in a joking tone:

"I said Director Gu, shouldn't you be unconvinced because you lost to Paramount's "Transformers" in the summer."

"Of course~" Gu Xiaofan nodded as a matter of course.

"You still take it seriously...... He Tiejun couldn't cry and laughed, and knocked the bowl with chopsticks:

"I said Director Gu, do you know how much box office "Transformers" has taken so far?"

"280 million, almost twice as much as "China Partner"." Gu Xiaofan said: "I hope that "Dear" can surpass him. ”
