Chapter 360: Big News

The news that Colombia is ready to continue filming the prequel to "Apprentice Magic" is not shocking news, and after the surprising box office of "Apprentice Magic" came out, more than one person has sworn that Columbia and Sony, and even Kasuga, will definitely include the filming of the prequel to "Apprentice Magic" in their schedules in order to squeeze the residual value of "Apprentice Magic". Shen Zhenghui's accident made people think that the sequel would be postponed until a long time later, because it is obvious that there are only a handful of directors in Hollywood who can control such a big movie, and Columbia and Sony will obviously choose directors carefully.

But who knew that after a year or so, Shen Zhenghui would get up from bed? But it's understandable that he didn't rush to shoot the sequel to "The Magic Apprentice", after all, as a newly recovered patient, it is doubtful whether he will be able to continue to write the previous legend, although his talent for directing 3D films has already been revealed during the filming of the last two episodes of "The Magic Apprentice". But after all, he had slept for more than a year and needed time to recover his condition. So he served as "FateZero", which is obviously a signal that he is looking for form in the eyes of those who care. For a long time, Miyamoto, as a Japanese otaku director, has maintained a considerable level in this genre, but it is also too niche because of this. And this time, on the one hand, Shen Zhenghui needs to use this opportunity to find his own state, and on the other hand, it is not ruled out that Haruhi hopes to be able to push Miyamoto to the world stage.

So just when everyone lowered their expectations for the prequel to "Apprentice of Magic", all of a sudden there was so much news. Kasuga resold and acquired Columbia, not to mention anything else, Shen Zhenghui is almost tied to the director of Haruga, and his status in Kasuga is obviously unquestionable, and the news that Kasuga's boss gave birth to a child for him has spread all over the world. In turn, probably everyone thinks that there is no difference between Chun Ri and Shen Zhenghui Columbia.

This may be a fact. However, professionals will also point out that Kasuga has developed in East Asia over the years, accumulating sufficient production capacity and production level, so it is very necessary to enter a large market, and the acquisition of Colombia has also found a good outlet for their own strategic development from the other side, especially the hiring of Angela, who has a strong network in Hollywood. Mason as the new CEO of Columbia. Mason's achievements in commercial cinema are not great. But it is undeniable that she is familiar with Hollywood, and Kasuga chose such a CEO, obviously to strengthen her film's share of the North American market.

That's not good news for the Big Six.

And this time, Columbia's signing with Kasuga announced the plan for the prequel of Shen Zhenghui's "Magic Apprentice" at the same time, which made many people who were quite confident in their previous speculations scratch their heads. They thought that Shen Zhenghui's official director was uncertain, and in order to maintain his market share in North America, Kasuga had to go down in person to develop the North American market, but they didn't expect it in a blink of an eye. Shen Zhenghui seems to have regained his ability and courage from the process of supervising the film - no, I should say that he mainly regained his courage. Because a reporter asked, who will direct the sequel to "FateZero"? When Mr. Shen would continue to supervise the film, Shen Zhenghui gave a negative answer.

"As for the director, if director Miyamoto does a good job, then obviously the director of the sequel will also be him." "I don't want to be a producer because it's a completely different job as a director. There's no point in doing it. "Personally, I don't think there's much difference between having me and not having me." There was a pause. He continued, "I myself am very busy with my work, and I don't necessarily have the time to take on this kind of energy-consuming position. And now that Kasuga is going to make a large-scale, streamlined film, we need more directors and shoot more films, so there's no need to leave all the tasks to me. ”

Angela Mason coughed.

Shen Zhenghui continued. "It's like Colombia, it's completely independent operation of Columbia, and the operation of Kasuga in the Hollywood market in the United States mainly depends on Columbia, but that doesn't mean that what Columbia does is centered on Kasuga, it needs to operate independently. Cultivate your core competitiveness. ”

Some of the reporters below couldn't help but mutter: Isn't Colombia's core competitiveness you?

There was a reporter who stood up afterwards and began to speak to Angela. Mason fires a cannon and asks Amy. Pascal's whereabouts.

"Amy is returning to Sony as vice president." Angela. Mason replied, "It's a normal job transfer. ”

"Amy Pascal has run Colombia over the years and has achieved quite brilliant results, are you confident that you can do better than her?"

"All I can say is that I did the best I could." Inside the belly, Angela. Mason has already started to explode this guy's chrysanthemum.

"Director Shen Zhenghui and Kasuga announced the shooting plan for the prequel to "Magic Apprentice", is it your request, brush up on your performance with the film that everyone is looking forward to."

"The shooting plan has been set for a long time, and we just announced it this time. This gentleman," Angela said in an accentuated tone, "the first part of the prequel will not be released until two years later!" ”

"Do you think Japanese movies are suitable for Hollywood?"

"Director Shen is Chinese."

"He's making Japanese films."

Well, whatever you want. "I think a good movie knows no borders." Angela struggled to squeeze out a smile.

Although she had been prepared for a long time, in the face of such a tearing scene, Angela. Mason was still a little scrambling. Shen Zhenghui is much calmer, his spit cheek is quite a bit of the style of Internet celebrities, and he pretends not to understand English if he doesn't want to answer.

The reporters below are going to be angry, who are you fooling? You don't understand English? We were all there when you were talking and laughing with those actresses!

Colombia is a big company after all, and a lot of the live nonsense can't be sent out at all, or it has to be sent out in some kind of disguise, of course, provided that the reader understands the irony and anti-loyalty, which is difficult anyway. So some of the answers to some questions are not proper. But this also achieved some of Shen's goals, he appeared in mainstream American newspapers, and Americans watched with mixed emotions as the Chinese set foot on their soil and then was honored as a great director, even though he was only in his thirties. At this age, many great directors are still in the process of difficult self-cultivation! Then Shen Zhenghui appeared in Time magazine, and he gave an exclusive interview. The magazine hoped that he could deeply discuss the comparison between Hollywood and movies outside Hollywood, and Shen Zhenghui talked about the perspective of film directors from another angle. This perspective is not so much a social perspective as a philosophical one, and it is not so much a vulgar and elegant, commercial and artistic perspective as a purely fun-based perspective.

Shen Zhenghui gave a speech to the editors of Time magazine on the change of the history of human taste, he said that the change of human interest is always closely related to the way of life, but the corresponding human understanding of beauty always seems to lag behind, so it is in a state of separation in the evaluation criteria. As a result, they artificially create a lot of divisions and antagonisms, such as business and art, because they do not see the differences in the world itself and the differences in ideas when they perceive.

Shen Zhenghui's theory was of interest to the editors of Time, and this interview lasted for several days, and Shen Zhenghui cooperated with the editors to sort out his own thoughts and write a rigid essay, which was labeled by the editor as Shen Zhenghui's aesthetics, which was the last thing he wanted to accomplish in the United States. When Time magazine published the so-called "Shen Zhenghui's Manifesto on Film Aesthetics" in the form of a special supplement, Shen Zhenghui was already sitting on the plane back to Japan.

Meanwhile. Another American publication, The New York Times, lit a blazing fire. They reported on an investigation into the state of the family assets of the first high-ranking Chinese official in Shen Zhenghui's material. The wealth of this high-ranking comrade family in the party -- including but not limited to his wife, son, and other relatives holding billions of dollars -- is comparable to that of the rich in the United States. It's almost nothing, and he may not be in the top 100 in the United States, but the news itself is not for Americans.

The news was quickly translated into Chinese on the day it was posted, spread in various forms on the Internet, and by the time the Internet police noticed the news and were ready to start cleaning it up, the impact had spread. TG responded by posting the New York Times' official website. But it's more like a medal awarded to the New York Times. It announced that he would continue to observe, investigate, and evaluate the top bureaucracy of the TG, and issue objective and impartial news reports to help everyone understand the true face of the TG and China.

As expected, the frenzied spread of news across the river completely neutralized the efforts of the mainland's cyber police to try to extinguish the fire. Due to online technology and sensitivity to new information, the spread of these negative messages is limited to young people. But as a rule of thumb. It seemed only a matter of time before it was extended to the people of the whole country who knew it.

Immediately afterward, the New York Times really fulfilled their promise, and the new reports continued to keep up, but the problem that emerged was that the three people in the three reports happened to correspond to the key figures of the three major factions in the party, so it was difficult to trace down whose work it was in terms of beneficiaries and motives, but it involved all the people, so this form of butting also achieved a certain balancing effect, but for the change of office that did not last a few years, it only intensified the intensity of the struggle. Then the comrades in the party seemed to have their eyes lit up on this matter, and they generally learned a new method.

However, the really powerful characters can read a big article from the subtleties of the "New York Times" report, but since they are in the political circle, the starting point of thinking is the economic and political power, in comparison, Shen Zhenghui seems weak and harmless, and is not in the scope of the bigwigs' consideration at all. Although this kind of propaganda transmitted from abroad to China does not have the effect of purifying the air, it seems to have effectively prevented the deterioration of the environment in a short period of time. Just as strong winds and heavy rains can control smog in a short period of time.

As far as Shen Zhenghui knew, the son-in-law who was very interested in some of the companies in his hands and Wang Anping's hands had to go abroad to avoid the limelight because he was implicated, and gave up this imaginative annexation plan. But this is not a big obstacle for him. The company he controls has already been included in the plan to go public, and he will directly use the stock market to make money, instead of taking advantage of it like this, and he is very tired. All of a sudden, everyone seemed to have been abruptly interrupted by the glutton, looking up to see the indecent eating appearance of the person next to them, and then they were embarrassed to compare themselves, so everyone got up for a while, waiting for this embarrassing moment to pass, they will continue to eat and drink wildly.

When Shen Zhenghui's plane landed in Tokyo, Miyamoto excitedly ran to pick up the plane, but met Liu Xin and Aonuma Tomoaki also came to pick up the plane together, which made him quite embarrassed.

Miyahara was not for "FateZero", this film is being nervously post-produced, but if you rush the schedule, you will inevitably run into Avatar, and the wise man will not do it, so he quietly waits for the release schedule in May. Miyaya was originally for Monty. Ohm's project. "The King of Fighters (1994)" was given to Monty by Shen Zhenghui. Ohm's test of the waters is simple enough in terms of the plot, and the buying point is just 3D animation and fighting. Miyamoto hurried over, just because the animation had made great progress, and he wanted to fight for enough benefits for his subordinates. He didn't know that even Shen Zhenghui was not interested in caring about the progress of the cartoon for the time being, and his attention was completely involved in the political plot inside the behemoth across the strait, which was like 2012 of that year, everyone watched the news every day like watching a popular TV series, wanting to know what strange and incredible plot happened.

But when facing Miyamoto, Shen Zhenghui still had to cheer up.

"So, in the time I've been gone, Monty has made a lot of progress?"

"Well, of course not, his progress has always been fast, and now it's just almost over." Miyamoto replied. (To be continued......)
