Ask for collections, clicks, subscriptions, monthly passes, and rewards!

After watching the movie, Su Da took Li Zhenxian and Su Zhenzhen and left in a hurry, because if they don't leave, it is foreseeable that they will be surrounded by reporters. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

However, this wish will definitely not come true, because a photo of Su Da meeting Zhou Xingchi appeared in the newspaper.

Su Da can also be regarded as taking the light of Zhou Xingchi, every time he reports on Zhou Xingchi, he will mention a few words of Su Da's name and cooperation Yunyun by the way, everyone's attention is still on Zhou Xingchi's body, who made Xing Ye Since "Shaolin Football" in 2001, there has been no news of the film for more than two years, and now there is such a rumor, no wonder those Zhou Xingchi fans are excited.

"Mr. Su, here!"

"Well, have you made an appointment with Master Xing?"

"It's already booked! Now there are still two hours before the meeting time, Mr. Su, look, do you want to have a meal first? ”

"Well, you can arrange it!"

Not long after getting into the car, Zhang Guorong's phone called: "Suda, have you arrived in Xiangjiang?" ”

"Well, just got off the plane!"

"Come to my house at night, I have something I want to talk to you about!"

"Okay!" Suda didn't ask what was going on, and responded directly.

"Then let's do it first, I still have some things to take care of."

Listening to the phone that hung up in a hurry, there is no need to ask, Su Da also knows that Zhang Guorong's busy affairs must be related to Anita Mui, otherwise Su Da came to Xiangjiang, and it is impossible for Zhang Guorong not to come to pick up the airport, but in the recent period, Zhang Guorong has been accompanying Anita Mui.

Su Da came to Xiangjiang this time to meet with Zhou Xingchi to discuss Zhou Xingchi's new movie next time, and it is not surprising that Zhou Xingchi did not look for a company that had cooperation experience in "Shaolin Football" last time, but instead found Su Da, an upstart, for a reason.

Many people may not be aware of it. This matter has to start with the fact that "Shaolin Football" was banned from the mainland!

Shaolin Football" Hong Kong public screening violations will be investigated and dealt with by the Film Bureau!

On July 25, 2001, the Yangtze River Daily reported: "Shaolin Football" has soared at the box office since its release in Hong Kong on July 8, after Zhou Xingchi said that he would invite the gambling king's daughter to shoot a sequel to "Shaolin Football". There is also news that ""Shaolin Football" is about to pass the review of the Film Bureau and is about to be 'kicked' into the mainland". But later, I learned from the National Film Administration that the release of "Shaolin Football" violated the relevant provisions of the "National Film Management Regulations", and the relevant departments are seriously investigating the matter!

National Film Administration: "Xinghui" is a serious violation before it is screened!

The production department of the National Film Administration, which is the administrative agency that specializes in accepting films for review, first denied the rumor that "Shaolin Football" is about to pass the review of the Film Bureau. He said. According to the relevant regulations, all films that are screened on the mainland or produced with the participation of mainland film institutions must be reviewed by the National Film Administration before they can be released.

"Shaolin Football" was produced by the Hong Kong Xinghui Company and co-produced by the Pearl River Film Company and the Huaxia Film Co-production Company. The National Film Administration has instructed Zhuying to investigate the matter and will seriously investigate and deal with Hong Kong Xinghui Company.

Director Zhou also confirmed that "Shaolin Football" did have trouble due to the title issue. During this year's "Two Sessions," some delegates proposed that "Shaolin Football" juxtaposed "Shaolin" and "football," which affected the religious feelings of Buddhists. It also affects the seriousness of the millennium Shaolin Temple, and I hope it can be revised. However, Xinghui has not replied to this.

Director Zhou finally said that the National Film Administration must wait for the violation to be dealt with before it can accept "Shaolin Football" for review. According to the current course of events, it is impossible for "Shaolin Football" to enter the mainland market in the summer.

When signing a co-production contract with Xinghui, Zhuying clearly stipulated that if "Shaolin Football" was to be promoted overseas (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), it must first be reviewed by the National Film Administration.

However, without obtaining the approval of the Film Bureau, on July 8, Xinghui Company held the premiere of "Shaolin Football" in Xiangjiang. Afterwards. Zhuying immediately sent a fax to Xinghui, asking them to stop the practice, but Xinghui insisted on releasing it.

As for the fact that Xinghui Company has not been screened first, there is also a reason, and the premiere of "Shaolin Football" in Xiangjiang has been arranged a long time ago. It must be launched in the summer. It was the huge box office temptation that made Xinghui make illegal moves in disregard of the contract.

And Xinghui Company also has something to say: It's not that we don't send it, it's that the Film Bureau doesn't let it go!

Tian Qiwen, the film's planner and director, admitted that there was a clear provision in the co-production contract that the film must be submitted for review before it could be released, and said that Xinghui had been waiting for the film bureau's notice of submission. When asked about the specific reason why "Shaolin Football" was released in Hong Kong without getting the review approval. Tian Qiwen looked very excited, and he said in a fierce tone: "It's not that we don't send it, it's that the Film Bureau doesn't let us send it!" This is the film bureau's business, not ours! Then he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Shaozu was banned, and the following reasons were reported in the news:

1. It was released in Hong Kong without sending it to the National Film Administration for review!

2. It didn't pass the review because the Film Bureau refused to accept the submission of the few feet!

3. The refusal to accept the submission for trial is because the dispute between Xinghui and the mainland co-auctioner is still in the pending litigation stage!

4. The dispute between Xinghui and the mainland co-producer, the focus is on whether the title of "Shaolin Football" should be modified!

5. The trouble with the title of "Shaolin Football" originated from the fact that during the "Two Sessions", some delegates proposed that "Shaolin Football" juxtaposed "Shaolin" and "football", which affected the religious feelings of Buddhists and the seriousness of the millennium Shaolin Temple. At the end of the day, the source of all causes.

If you reason a little, this is probably the case!

Rastar signed a co-production contract for "Shaolin Football" with a domestic co-producer, and the co-producer should be responsible for handling the domestic approval procedures. Later, the representatives of the two associations asked for a name change, but the co-auction party did not approve it, and Xinghui did not agree to change the name (which may be related to the publicity invested in the early stage and the pre-sold Southeast Asian copyright), and reached an impasse. Xinghui sued the National Copyright Administration according to the contract that it was the responsibility of the co-producer, but the delay in the ruling gave further reasons for the Film Bureau to refuse to accept Shaozu's submission.

The deployment of the whole drama is aimed at the World Cup schedule in the summer vacation, and missing this schedule will greatly affect the Asian box office of the film. The domestic approval is still far away, and the scheduled schedule has been approached, so I can only take the risk of premiering in Hong Kong first.

I remember that Zhou Xingchi also urgently chartered the venue at that time and asked the leaders of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong to see Shaozu, and personally accompanied him throughout the whole process, hoping to make the final public relations efforts, but in the end he failed to win it. As a result, Shaolin football was not released in the mainland.

Arguably. On "Shaolin Football", Zhou Xingchi can be said to have learned enough lessons, and he also learned about Suda's background from some people, in such a situation. It is not very strange for Zhou Xingchi to find Su Da to cooperate, provided that Su Da's strength can ensure that their cooperation will not be in the same situation as "Shaolin Football", and Su Da is very relaxed in this regard. Because Zhou Xingchi's new movie "Kung Fu" is not a big problem, Su Da is very relieved.

Su Da came to the agreed place ten minutes in advance, and Zhou Xingchi had been waiting there for a long time, but he did not have a trace of impatience, seeing Su Da's arrival, he quickly stood up, greeted him with a smile, held Su Da's hand with both hands and said: "Mr. Su, long time no see!" ”

"Not long ago, the last time we saw each other was at the Academy Awards two months ago. I remember it very clearly! Su Da smiled and joked about next Zhou Xingchi, and pulled the other party to sit down.

At the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards, "Infernal Affairs" won 7 awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor, becoming the biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards.

"yes. I haven't seen him for two months, and Mr. Su's demeanor is still the same! ”

It can be seen that Zhou Xingchi is really a taciturn character, facing Su Da's closeness and jokes. didn't echo a few words, and was close to Su Da, but directly ended this greeting with a dull sentence, but let Su Da realize the rumors that Zhou Xingchi's emotional intelligence was not high for the first time.

"Listen to the people below, Master Xing, do you have a good thing to cheapen me?"

Zhou Xingchi hurriedly said modestly: "Mr. Su can call me Xingchi or Xingzi." In front of you, how dare you call the master! This sentence is a big truth, after Liu Dehao and some friends found out about Su Da's background, how dare Zhou Xingchi let Su Da call him, even if his emotional intelligence is not high, he knows that this is just Su Da's polite words, and you will lose if you are serious.

"This is the script of my new movie, Mr. Su, please take a look, and we will talk about cooperation!"

Su Da smiled slightly, and after seeing the two words kung fu on the cover of the script, he pushed it back directly and replied: "No need to watch it, others have no chance to invest in your movie, now you send me money, how can I refuse, besides, Zhou Xingchi three words, I still trust it very much, let's talk about cooperation directly!" ”

Zhou Xingchi heard Su Da's compliment, and smiled slightly on the surface, but his inner sense of Su Da had risen, he was originally a proud person, if it wasn't for the shadow brought to him by "Shaolin Football", he would not have come to discuss with Su Da in person, he was really relieved.

"Mr. Su, it's easy to say that the cooperation in other aspects is easy to say, I only have one very simple request, that is, I don't want what happened on "Shaolin Football" to happen on my new movie again!" Zhou Xingchi is really afraid, even if he is famous, but the movie can't be released, everything is in vain, why is "Shaolin Football" banned, don't say any excuses, in the final analysis, it's not the strength of Zhou Xingchi's partner in the mainland.

Su Daha smiled, took a sip of coffee, and did not make any guarantees, but left a sentence for Zhou Xingchi to send someone to his mainland company to negotiate! This kind of proud performance is not because there was nothing wrong with the movie "Kung Fu" in his previous life, but even if the incident of "Shaolin Football" happened to Su Da, he also had the confidence to solve the matter, because he was Su Da!
