"Boss, what's going on?" "Yes, why did Director Zhang's assistant suddenly look for you?"

The gossip was discussed, Gou Sicai pressed his hand to calm down, and he said with a wry smile, "Ms. Pang Xiaowei just called me, Director Zhang's new film will be held at two o'clock tomorrow, and the Lang Yue Hotel will hold a press conference."

"Do you still need to think about it? It must be going to Huayi! Zhang Yimou is no longer a good man, and now Huayi's tens of millions of crew is also a top priority! ”

"But......" Gou Sicai said helplessly, "Zhang Yimou's crew is also a crew of tens of millions!" Liang Cháowei, Zhang Manyu, Li Lianjie, Donnie Yen, Chen Zhiming, the salary of these people alone is more than 20 million! How much investment do you say he wants to make? ”

Silence came suddenly, and everyone felt they had heard it wrong.

At the end of this year, there were two companies, and two directors wanted to cut the first knife of this cake at the same time! It's all New Year's stalls, this is the rhythm of the dead!

Moreover, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping specially moved the press conference to the present, obviously wanting to take advantage of Huayi's film. Obviously, they are confident that this film, lineup, and investment can completely blow up Huayi!

"The country is wide open...... These grandmaster-level directors and bigwigs finally couldn't help but make a move...... "Gou Sicai sighed, he thought for a while, "In this way, the first, second, and third groups will go to the new picture, and the fourth and fifth groups will go to Huayi, the public is not an ordinary entertainment magazine, even if they know that we are going on both sides, they will not embarrass us." ”

He smiled and said, "However, for other magazines, it's time to make a choice......

As he said, this night, countless magazines were anxious about which side to go.

On one side are veteran directors, and on the other hand, there are new directors, veteran directors have not released films for a while, but new directors are in the limelight, no matter which side they give up, they are not reconciled.

And just when the entire entertainment industry was boiling, dawn was breaking and a secret meeting was underway.

"Is this good?" Feng Xiaogang frowned: "All of your things are based on the fact that there are no thieves in the world and the quality is indeed excellent." Once you miss, it really becomes a stepping stone for heroes. ”

"This is the only way to do it." Lin Xiao said solemnly, "I also thought about it for a long time, but in the end I came to the conclusion: What do we use to compare with heroes? Investment? Player? Fame? ”

"Truth be told, none of us can match each other! Quality, that's after the shooting, and it's still a lot of months. Why should the audience believe us? Even if we want to fight, what do we use to fight? Instead of confronting the opponent with insufficient confidence, it is better to give up this city directly! ”

Feng Xiaogang bit his lip, thought about it for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "You believe me so much?" ”

"I believe in everybody in this film."

After three minutes of silence, Feng Xiao just said, "But the press conference is a film!" ”

"Director Feng, you've heard of Tian Ji horse racing." Lin Xiao said: "Everything I do now is for that moment at the end of the year." We'll have to pull it back later! ”

After being silent again, Feng Xiao gritted his teeth just now and said, "You played a really big game of chess...... So what if the hero is beyond imagination? ”

Lin Xiao smiled, "No, the hero's screenwriter is Zhang Yimou, I admit that his picture is unique in the world, but the screenwriter, he is definitely inferior to you." ”

Feng Xiaogang smiled bitterly, "I really don't want to hear this at this time." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Actually, I also have confidence in my film, if you use your trick, if the hero fails in the script, there will be no thieves in the world and it will definitely become the biggest attraction at the end of the year!" ”

"The film, from the beginning of its release, is a war, not only a war between two crews, but also a business war between two companies." Lin Xiao sighed, "Director Zhang chose to release it at the same time, why didn't he want to trample on us with one foot." If you want to live by yourself, you can't say that you are ruthless or not, you can't survive anymore, what kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality can you talk about? ”

"Moreover, I don't use yīn moves, this is to fight them openly, it's just that this time is too good."

He thinks it's nothing, these moves will be used badly in the future, a film should be popular, quality first, but weakening opponents in the same schedule is an indispensable homework for the company in the future.

On the contrary, no matter how good the moves are, the quality is not good, and they can only defeat Waterloo. If the film wants to make a lot of money at the box office, it is indispensable.

This small but important meeting lasted until twelve o'clock in the evening. The results will be revealed the next day.

On May 22, the sky was cloudless.

The whole of China is still busy with every day's work, and the entertainment industry, especially the film and television industry, has become a sensation

Starting in the morning, people from all walks of life gathered in Xinhai and Lang Yue.

After ten o'clock, there was a queue at the door of the two hotels, and jǐng Fang specially arranged a large number of jǐng inspections, maybe they still don't understand the meaning of these two films, but two investments of more than 20 million yuan, money can be stoned to death.

Miniature magazines that can't get in, start adding tripods, cameras, and microphones at the door, and if you are lucky enough to catch someone, you will make a lot of money.

Even quite a few people brought bread and drinks, ready to squat at the door.

At one point, in front of the Xinhai Hotel, five red sè BMWs drove in unison.

"So many people." Lin Xiao was on the first one, relieved of his heart, he was most afraid that there would be fewer people coming, and he would mess up his momentum first.

"It's not much." Sitting in the co-pilot seat was Wang Zhongjun, and the bosses of the crew, Lin Xiao, Feng Xiaogang, and Wang Zhongjun were all sitting in this car.

"As far as I know, seven of the top ten went to Lang Yue." His face is very serious, this is the first face-to-face competition between two super crews, and the reporters will definitely communicate with each other, and the news over there will quickly become a problem here.

"It's normal, Lao Mouzi is the godfather of domestic movies after all, and with such a big investment this time, it's not wrong for them to make this choice." Feng Xiaogang also put away his laughter and scolding, and said seriously, "Actually, if it weren't for this collision, we would still be able to watch Gui Hong wave the five strings, but now, it is a chaotic rockfall, and the clouds are crashing on the shore." ”

"...... you" Wang Zhongjun glanced at Feng Xiaogang and asked hesitantly, "Do we really want to say this?" ”

"That's all I can say." Lin Xiao said without thinking about it in the back seat, "We have done what should be done, and the key to success lies in whether the other party has enough confidence in himself." Moreover, the fruit of this victory will grow for a long time. We won't be able to taste it until the end of the year. ”

The car didn't care about the reporters who were already crazy and were blocked by jǐngcha, and drove directly to the back door. After getting out of the car, no one spoke, and everyone entered the lounge.

The ladies wore a sè evening dress, while the gentlemen wore straight suits.

No one spoke, Wang Zhongjun had already specially said hello, today's press conference, mainly by him, Lin Xiao, Feng Xiaogang to speak, others can say according to the meaning.

The minutes ticked by, and when it was 1:50, a staff member entered the break room and respectfully said, "Teachers, boss, the time is almost up." ”

"Let's go." Lin Xiao stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, "What should be faced, must always be faced." ”

He patted Wang Baoqiang, who was nervously in a cold sweat, and said with a smile, "Adapt to it, there will be many opportunities like this in the future, people can't, but they can't help but learn, especially artists." ”

Wang Baoqiang nodded crampedly.

When entering the front court, the noisy scene instantly fell silent.

On the huge main stage, there is a row of red tables and chairs, on which everyone's name tag is placed, and in the back, there is a huge poster, which was funded and photographed by Huayi after the makeup was set, Lin Xiao, Ge You, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyu, Wang Baoqiang, close-ups of six people, arranged from large to small. There are no thieves in the world, and the four golden characters are engraved on the top like a line of inscriptions.

Facing the main station, there are black machines, cameras, cameras, DVDs, and almost all the video machines that can be seen are on the battlefield, and the reporters who were still pointing at the posters just now are all anxious at these people who are going out.

Wang Zhongjun personally went into battle and sat on the main seat, while Lin Xiao and Feng Xiaogang sat on either side of him, and the others lined up in turn.

Everyone is adjusting their mentality, and it seems that they are talking easily, but in fact, no one is relaxed.

At two o'clock, Wang Zhongjun cleared his throat and spoke.

"Thank you all for coming to the conference without thieves."

"As we all know, China has joined the WTO, and foreign blockbusters will inevitably enter the country more than before, how to deal with this situation. I think that Chinese people should have their own brands! Therefore, Huayi invested heavily in this blockbuster. ”

At the same time, Lang said, it is even more star-studded.

Everyone on the stage is either the godfather of movies or an Asian superstar, and the reporters in the audience are directly more than half more than the thieves in the world.

A huge poster wall with close-ups of everyone printed on it, as well as the word "hero" with a sword-like aura, makes people look sideways.

Beforehand, the new picture has already said that directly entering the zìyóu question session, they need to detonate more and attract other people's eyeballs to themselves faster.

They want to let Huayi's influence disappear in an instant.

The name tags on the table, each of the names on it, can be called Asia-Pacific superstars, and what is surprising is that in addition to Zhang Yimou, there is also a blonde foreigner sitting next to Zhang Weiping.

His name tag reads: James. Plum.

Could it be that there will be foreigners in this film? The people in the audience were suspicious.

"Welcome to my crew." Without waiting for them to think about it, Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Everyone has also seen it, my new film is called Hero." ”

"Who are the heroes? The filmmakers who dare to invest heavily and the artists who participate in this epic blockbuster are all heroes! They are destined to go down in fame forever! Become a hero in the history of Chinese cinema! ”

"This is a pioneering commercial blockbuster in the history of Chinese film, and it will be remembered by future generations."

Zhang Weiping knocked the teacup, this is a signal, some topics, you have to let the person who arranged it ask.

Immediately, a reporter who received the benefit stood up with interest, "Director Zhang, I want to ask, at the end of this year, there will not only be heroes, but also a giant film with the same investment of tens of millions to participate in the New Year file war, it is reported that this film is invested by Huayi and Dawn, and the total amount has reached more than 20 million. I want to know, or rather, everyone here wants to know, how much is the hero's investment? ”

A smile appeared on Zhang Yimou's slender face, and he raised a finger, "Fifteen million." ”

Fifteen million? Everyone in the room was stunned.

Look at the people sitting on the stage, the total salary is more than 20 million, and the investment is only 15 million? And where did the five million come from?

"Dollars."

Wow! The audience was in an uproar.
