83. Premiere (Part I)
Early the next morning, the front pages of major entertainment newspapers and magazines announced the news that the two Chinese New Year blockbusters "No Thieves in the World" and "Mobile Phone" were killed one after another, as for the source of their news, it was undoubtedly quietly released by Ye Sumang.
These two films can be said to have been hyped together since the start of filming at the end of July, and the public's attention has already reached its peak.
And the headline of the Kyoto Entertainment News is even more out - a movie that was unjustly killed, a 'trumped-up' crime! elaborated on the 'wonderful' reasons why the two movies were killed, and this truth also made many fans surprisingly angry.
"What the hell is going on with the GD General Administration, what a bad reason for this!"
"It's so annoying, why does the content of the film involve instigation? And isn't the problem of instigation different from person to person!? ”
"Protest! The dictatorship of the GD Directorate is so odious that all we see is their self-righteous castration chips! ”
The liliang of netizens is powerful, just one day, the forum website of the GD General Administration was crowded three times by a large number of netizens, so scared that the jishu personnel had to temporarily close the website, but it still couldn't stop the anger of the fans, the website was closed for only half an hour, and it was suddenly hacked by hackers, and the homepage of the entire website was also replaced with a picture of the eunuch from the palace.
In the protests of fans, the Directors Association also stood up for the first time, vigorously criticizing the censorship system of the GD General Administration, with the backing of this semi-official form of association, the fans resisted more powerfully, in addition to the Internet, in reality, the hotline of the GD General Administration was almost blown up.
Bang!
"How did this news get out!" In an office of the GD General Bureau, a balding middle-aged man yelled angrily, startling many people passing by outside, but many people secretly covered their mouths, obviously knowing what happened to this middle-aged man now.
This bald middle-aged man is the main person in charge of reviewing the film this time, and it is estimated that he himself did not expect that such a big thing would happen this time when so many works are usually killed.
His real idea of killing the two movies is actually very simple, "No Thieves in the World" was paid for him to get a card, and "Mobile Phone" is completely a personal grudge between himself and Feng Xiaogang. But what he couldn't imagine was how powerful Liliang of public opinion was, if only one was killed, there might not be such a reaction at all, but if two were killed together, it would be like inadvertently throwing a lit match into a pile of bombs, it seems that matches are very common, but one will cause a super explosion if you are not careful.
Suddenly, the phone rang and woke up the silent office, and the middle-aged man picked up the phone with trembling hands, and quickly hung up again, but his forehead was already covered with sweat.
At the same time, in a building somewhere in Kyoto, Feng Xiaogang was drinking tea and chatting with his friend Zheng Xiaolong.
"Do you think I'm letting someone use me as a gunman?" Looking at today's newspaper, Feng Xiaogang complained a little depressedly, the source of the news this time, almost everyone guessed that it came from Feng Xiaogang, this is really wronging himself, but he is also worried about the film censorship, and he didn't sleep all night yesterday, but he didn't expect such a news to come out early this morning.
"What's so bad about being a gunman?" Zheng Xiaolong held peanuts in his hand and said funny: "Anyway, aren't you also worried about the censorship of movies?" There's such a thing.,GD probably won't dare to get stuck anymore.,It's a good thing.,I think you give it back to xiexie.。 ”
Listening to the ridicule of his old friend, Feng Xiaogang angrily poured a sip of herbal tea, and this black pot also made Feng Xiaogang carry it without carrying it. Of course, he didn't suspect that he was also stuck, but the other party's young age made him not believe that the other party dared to have such courage and stumbling over the GD General Bureau.
And Ye Sumang, the real mastermind of this matter, was staying at home leisurely at this time, soaking hot pot with Huang Bo and Ning Hao.
Not long ago, the GD General Administration called and asked Ye Sumang to send the film for review again, the reason was not said, and Ye Sumang did not ask, anyway, everyone knew it, and he would not be idle to deliberately expose the scar of the GD General Administration.
As for the submission for review this time, it is obviously just a face-saving project, and the passage of the film is basically nine out of ten.
Sure enough, a week later, the GD General Administration issued a notice that "No Thieves in the World" and "Mobile Phone" both passed the review, and the world film and television led by Ye Sumang was once again busy.
However, the most difficult thing at present is the publicity work, the investment in "Mobile Phone" is not much, but their publicity is very powerful, and it is difficult for Ye Sumang, who is not strong in public relations ability, to compare. However, Ye Sumang did not feel disappointed in this, and the TV media platform could not fight, Ye Sumang focused on the Internet, and the major portals have hung up the propaganda advertisements of "No Thieves in the World", and at the same time, Ye Sumang also planned to launch a lottery with advertisements, and some products that looked very attractive were placed on the lottery platform, attracting countless netizens to participate.
The battle between the two films on the propaganda side is far from over, and soon, the tidbits of the two films have also appeared on the major TV media, with hilarious content and wonderful fights, it can be said that both films have earned enough eyeballs, making many fans shout that there are films to watch this holiday.
In the end, the release dates of the two films have also been decided, "No Thieves in the World" is scheduled for December 15, and "Mobile Phone" is scheduled for December 18, and the box office war between the two films seems inevitable.
The time soon came to December 14th, Ye Sumang was standing at the door of Times Cinema in a formal dress at this time, the Times Cinema at this moment is very different from the past, not only is there a long red carpet at the door, but there are not employees carrying some large flower baskets at the door of the theater.
"Su Mang, thank you so much, I didn't expect you to think of me." As the owner of Times Cinemas, Li Mao is really grateful to Ye Sumang from the bottom of his heart at this moment, if the last cooperation was mutually beneficial between the two parties, then this time Ye Sumang put the premiere ceremony in his theater, which is completely helpful.
"Brother Li, it's serious." Ye Sumang said with a smile that he himself has an indescribable attachment to Times Studios, after all, this is where his first movie was first released, and everything in it is full of memories for him, so this time, he did not choose those five-star theaters, but put the premiere in an inconspicuous small theater.
Before Li Mao could say anything, the media reporters who had been waiting for a long time suddenly let out a burst of restlessness, and saw that they were all aiming their flashing lights at the other end of the red carpet...
