Chapter 166: Who is tortured by "Human Flesh"? (Above)
Because of this movie, Juanzi always can't sleep when she gets home. As soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered those creepy pictures and shrunk her whole body into her grandson's arms, Juanzi still felt a little scared.
"Turn the lights on, all on."
"Hey."
Sun Ziming got up and obediently turned on the lights in the bedroom and living room, and then he lay back on the bed, and he didn't want to sleep today.
"Ziming, are there really these things? What the newspapers say is true? ”
Sun Ziming lit a cigarette, chatted with his wife, and replied: "It's true, it's just that it's been a long time and everyone has forgotten." Not to mention Hong Kong, even our mainland, such a tragedy also happened during the Cultural Revolution. If you go back further, there are countless such things in the history of our country! ”
The two chatted until dawn, and after sending Juanzi to the airport, Sun Ziming had time to meet in the light car.
"What are you?"
Sun Ziming opened Wang Jing's fat hand and dozed off while sitting on the sofa.
"Don't mention it, I didn't sleep for two days and one night. Jiaming, I'll squint for a while, wait for Uncle Zeng to come, and then wake me up! ”
Within a few minutes of lying on the sofa, Sun Ziming snored loudly and slept until more than two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Awake?"
"Hmm"
Jiaming is really like a caring girl, and when Sun Ziming wakes up, the toothpaste is squeezed for him.
"You wash up first, and lunch will be delivered later."
When the takeaway was delivered to the office, everyone knew that the grandson had woken up, and the first people to come in were Wang Jing and Uncle Zeng. Wang Fatzi shook the report in his hand, and proudly said that the international award is the international award, and those pornographic scenes are still sold well.
"16.5 million in four days! You say, if this film is sold in Japan, how much box office will it have? ”
Sun Ziming gobbled up the takeaway brought in by Jiaming, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the fat man. That is to say, there are few Chinese people who win international awards, and in a few years, this kind of award will only be worthless in fame!
"I don't know if it's okay to let me eat first, I'm starving to death!"
Not to mention that Wang Fatzi has half of the shares, even Uncle Zeng is looking forward to the sale of this film. "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" has sold more than 4 billion yen, and this film will never be worse than that one, right?
"Okay, you eat me."
The nominations for the Academy Awards came out last week, with Debao's "Autumn Fairy Tale" and Light and Shadow's "The Story of Ah Lang" receiving the most nominations, especially "Ah Lang" won almost all the awards.
"This time, the judging rules have changed, the jury voted anonymously, and the award ceremony has been postponed to May 11. I've walked around, you're back, let's go for another run. It's impossible to win them all, it's estimated that you can win two to three weighty awards, and the box office can't compare to us, so you have to get a little light. We also got nominations for the Golden Horse Awards, this is the list, and this time the Golden Horse Awards have also been postponed, and the awards will be presented on May 19. ”
This is understandable, not to mention the Hong Kong Academy Awards, even the Oscars have to pay attention to balance. Unless there is one movie that stands out and surpasses the others, it will divide that piece of pork evenly. It's just that I don't know how many pieces of pork Taiwan can share with itself?
Sun Ziming swept his eyes, it was not bad, and the important awards of the Golden Horse Awards were all nominated.
After Wang Fatzi finished speaking, it was Uncle Zeng's turn to talk about overseas distribution, which was a bit tricky.
"The European side is finished talking about the release, Germany is 21%, France is 20. 2%,…… It is expected to get a share of more than 10 million US dollars. ”
Sun Ziming stopped his chopsticks, well, this is the power of publicity and marketing. In my heart, the artistic level of "Red Sorghum" is higher than that of "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun", but just because of the hype in Berlin, the publisher will sell it.
"There is no way to increase the share ratio, the tax rate in Europe is too high, and "Human Meat Char Siu Bun" has been set as a third-level film."
Sun Ziming nodded, he was already very satisfied with such a result. Do you want to make money by making movies, and make a lot of money, or do you just make blockbusters, blockbusters for all ages.
"Where's Toho?"
Uncle Zeng rejoiced: "This doesn't embarrass us, the box office share is still the same as before, but the schedule may be put in August." ”
Sun Ziming also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the 1% commission on Shangjing is worth the money.
"Okay, when the total box office comes out, bring all the original crew members, and everyone will be lively. In addition, the one that went to the well is not missing from others. ”
Uncle Zeng asked, if the negotiation with Dongbao breaks down, will Shangjing's commission be paid?
"Give it to me, I'm just angry, how can I take it seriously."
The three of them corrected the company's situation, Uncle Zeng and Wang Jing said goodbye, and Sun Ziming began to read movie reviews after eating. As a director, the opinion of the film critic is very important, and through their comments, you can see the strengths and weaknesses of the film.
Who is 'Human Flesh' torturing'? 》
No way? I just made a movie, did I use it like this?
Sun Ziming looked at the masthead, this is the film review of "Ta Kung Pao". It is no wonder that this kind of leftist newspaper has always spoken from the moral supremacy point, and of course it will not hurt the back to speak while standing.
"Human Flesh" is a thought-provoking film, in which the tragic past of Hong Kong and the dark side of society are exposed. …… What touched me even more was the scene where Lord Yang commanded the police and finally brought the case to light. Examining the director's original intention, he thought it was an allusion to the darkness of Hong Kong's colonial rule.
The British Empire keeps saying democracy, equality, and freedom, but the salaries of British officials in the British government in Hong Kong are several times that of the mainland.
Although the British Empire does not collect taxes from Hong Kong, HSBC, Jardine Matheson (including Hongkong Land), Swire and Kadoorie ...... This series of British-funded enterprises has been involved in Hong Kong's economy for a long time, has a close relationship with the British government in Hong Kong, and has a great influence on the policies of the British government in Hong Kong. They rely on the support of the Hong Kong government and control the economic lifeblood of Hong Kong.
For example, the British-funded HSBC Bank and Standard Chartered Bank have the privilege of issuing Hong Kong dollars; The British Great Eastern Telegraph Company, through its subsidiaries Hong Kong Great Eastern Telegraph and the Hong Kong Telephone Company, monopolized Hong Kong's external communications and the city's telephone and telecommunications services; British-funded real estate companies own a large number of real estate properties in Hong Kong. This is just as the folk say: "It is the Jockey Club, Jardine Matheson, HSBC and the Hong Kong Governor's Office who actually rule Hong Kong." British colonial rule imbued Hong Kong society with the color of colonialism.
……’
The article sprinkled thousands of words, exhausting the unfair competition between Chinese-funded and British-funded enterprises, and putting the British government in Hong Kong on the fire.
I flipped through other mainstream newspapers "Ming Pao" and "Sing Tao Daily", which basically had the same tone as "Ta Kung Pao", all of which complained about the monopoly privileges of British-funded enterprises.
Hey, in order to win the award in Berlin, he did not hesitate to expose the once inhumane side of Hong Kong, but now the sequelae have exploded. But is that so? Even the neutral newspapers say so, is there a reason why they don't know the way?
Sun Ziming flipped through it, and Jiaming's assistant was still unqualified. This thing is so weird that I actually threw away the social version and left only the movie reviews.
"Jiaming, is there anything else?"
Jiaming flipped through it and took out a few more from under the folder, which belonged to the rightist newspaper.
"Oh, here."
"Prosperity under the Rule of Law"?
Sun Ziming picked up the "Overseas Chinese Daily" and looked at it, and was startled, and actually commented on a full page.
The article starts with the Shanghai Public Concession, one by one, and lays out the facts and reasoning. Seeing Sun Ziming's eyes, if these remarks are placed in the mainland, they are definitely an iron hat of a traitor!
After reading it carefully, Sun Ziming was a little mixed.
These things are true, such as the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai helped the United States build four 10,000-ton ships during World War I. New China built its first 10,000-ton steamship in the late sixties, and it sank on its maiden voyage. (At the time, the ship was loaded with 13,000 tons of rice exported to Japan, which was already in the midst of a full-blown famine.) )
Objectively speaking, it is true that there is no government in the Shanghai Public Concession, and the Ministry of Industry and Bureau is nothing more than an autonomous body, composed of taxpayers. Later, the Nationalist government reclaimed the concessions, and because of corruption, a large number of manufacturing industries were relocated from Shanghai to Hong Kong. As for the war, it is a deaf statement, and at the beginning of the civil war, who was optimistic about the great men and them?
With those enterprises that have relocated to the south as a foundation, even if Hong Kong does not have smuggling and entrepot trade with the mainland, its light industries such as textiles, garments, toys, and electronics will be able to support the economic take-off of Hong Kong as a whole. The article lists Hong Kong's export figures last year and compares them with those from the mainland.
The most criticized extrajudicial power was not forced by the foreign powers, but was stuffed into the hands of the Qing government. Moreover, under the historical conditions at that time, extrajudicial jurisdiction to a large extent also better protected the legitimate rights of civilians in the concession.
Putting down the newspaper, Sun Ziming sighed, although "Overseas Chinese Daily" and "Apple Daily" were suspected of exculpating the British-funded consortium, but they made his views biased towards rightist newspapers.
Last year, Hong Kong's garment industry exported 61.4 billion Hong Kong dollars, and toys exported 47.9 billion Hong Kong dollars. Objectively speaking, the smuggling and entrepot trade with the mainland only fattened red-topped businessmen like Huo Ye and them, how much does it have to do with ordinary citizens? Today, Hong Kong is made by citizens who have worked hard to make clothes, toys, and plastic products. Smuggling and entrepot trade have pushed up land prices and wages, hit the manufacturing industry, and caused Hong Kong's economy to begin to develop abnormally.
'Dong Dong' Jiaming knocked on the door and came in, and said in a low voice: "Luo Hui called and wanted to give you an exclusive interview about the polemic between the two sides. ”
Chaos! This kind of thing, can't you hide from it, and still go to the front?
Obviously, this may be the hardened wings of the Chinese capital, and they want to break their wrists with the British capital, and the mainland is not willing to be lonely to join in the fun, what are you doing with a little radish head? I just don't know what is the fuse? His own movie is not so influential, at most it gives both parties an excuse to fight a lawsuit.
Seeing that Jiaming wanted to speak and stopped, Sun Tzu couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else?" ”
"It's fine."
Jiaming swallowed back the persuasion that came to his lips, cleaned up the newspapers that were optimistic, and replaced them with documents and reports that had been backlogged for more than ten days. signed the backlog of documents and reports, Sun Ziming also got up to go to the post-production department, I don't know if "God of Gamblers" has been completed?
