September 16.

The news that "Infernal Affairs" broke 100 million yuan has swiped the screen in the Chinese film circle.

As a domestic literary film, it is a literary film without special effects and resists "Superman 2", "Infernal Affairs" has been attracting attention since its release......

The Chinese movie that broke 700 million sounded really topical, but it didn't cause much sensation, and even after the Venice International Film Awards ended, some well-known filmmakers in China had a controversy and strong controversy over the box office data of this movie.

"The movie "Infernal Affairs" is undeniably a highly topical movie, but the box office of 700 million is ...... The box office is fully donated, and the kindness of fans is consumed in the name of charity, and the appeal and cohesion of such a movie resist "Superman 2", isn't it normal...... Breaking 700 million, isn't that normal? ”

"I didn't mean to say that Mr. Zhou Yang did something wrong...... I still stand on a very objective history and explain one fact, and I hope that the majority of fans can stand on a relatively objective position to evaluate the fact that "Infernal Affairs" broke 700 million......"

The director, who has not shown his head for a long time, has fallen into a long silence since the failure of "Tianji".

Occasionally, there is news, and it is also on major platforms that he speaks for his "Tianji", criticizing many people in the current society for being too impetuous and unable to understand "art".

People began to gradually become a little extreme, and in the face of the ridicule of netizens, Chen Kai still maintained a very senior attitude, claiming that someone had been constantly messing with him behind his back since "Tianji", and constantly splashed him with dirty water in various ways.

This time......

"Infernal Affairs" just failed in Venice, and the director Chen Kai suddenly appeared in front of the media and made a lot of nonsense.

September 16 at noon.

Chen Kai participated in an interview with the movie channel "Starlight Movie", and when reporters asked about the box office of "Infernal Affairs" breaking 700 million yuan, what role it has in promoting the Chinese film industry, Chen Kai shook his head.

"What enablement?"

"It's just a bad head!"

"Film is an entertainment art for all, and it can be commercial, which is normal, but it can't be completely reduced to a puppet of commercial hype......"

"To be honest, I can't watch "Infernal Affairs", the whole process is a group of actors pretending to be embarrassed, Zhou Yang is handsome, pretending to be depressed, Liu Hua, the only acting skills online, because of the script, the character seems very thin and weak, and it can't rise to the level of performance at all, to be honest, at the same time, the name is also strange, forcibly use the name "Infernal Affairs" to explain the police and gangster film, the whole process is not literate, and the martial arts are not ......"

"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"

"Movie fans are attracted to the cinema by gimmicks and kindness...... Seriously, what is the difference between this kind of operation and the box office? It's just a good name......"

"My friends outside my country told me that "Infernal Affairs" is a joke for filmmakers in the superstructure......"

"I still hope that young filmmakers like Zhou Yang can sit down and make movies in a down-to-earth manner and don't do such messy things......"

“……”

Evening.

When "Starlight Movie" was broadcast on the movie channel, Chen Kai's remarks instantly set off an uproar.

Netizens under his personal Weibo scolded countless times, almost turning Chen Kai's Weibo upside down......

But even in such a state, Xinghui's boss Li Zhongjun still took a screenshot of Chen Kai's remarks and posted a sentence on Weibo: "Sad...... I feel sad for the film industry right now. ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Jinsong, vice president of the Huaxia Film Association, made a rare speech on Weibo: "Let me say a fair word, the failure of "Infernal Affairs" in Venice has nothing to do with the movie itself, Director Chen Kai's remarks are more extreme, in my opinion, the acting skills of the actors in all aspects of "Infernal Affairs" are quite online, this is nothing to hack, of course, I really don't agree with Director Zhou Yang's public donation hype of "Infernal Affairs", he is indeed hype, if you are kind-hearted, you can donate secretly, Don't coerce the kindness of fans and announce it on the Internet in a grand manner? To put it mildly, this is indeed a bit of a table and a torii......"

Zhang Changhe of Changhong Cinema Group: "The director of the "Superman" series, James. Li was still posting on Weibo yesterday that Chinese filmmakers are crazy, and they will do whatever it takes to win the so-called victory, maybe this is not Mr. Zhou Yang's original intention, but this is definitely a shame to be thrown overseas......"

……

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Chen Kai's remarks were pushed to the hot search, and below the hot search, countless directors of the older generation stood up to speak.

Everyone stands on an objective standpoint to evaluate "Infernal Affairs", and some directors directly evaluate Zhou Yang's personality, as if on this day, Zhou Yang's "hypocrisy" mask was completely exposed.

Since Zhou Yang entered the Chinese film industry, Zhou Yang has never been besieged in such a terrifying way, and he almost nailed Zhou Yang to the pillar of shame.

The Venice International Film Festival seemed to be a fuse.

ignited the long-squeezed Chinese director circle, and even provoked countless capitals......

…………………………

"Aren't they afraid of ......?"

"Afraid of what? Afraid of being liquidated? Even if Zhou Yang is really the son-in-law of some characters, he will not directly intervene in this matter, not to mention that it is not now, and the power behind Chen Kai is not small, and the entire northwest circle is decided by a few of them...... And this time it was obviously premeditated, except for Zhou Yilin and Shen Changwei, who remained silent, a large number of other people all came over to scold them, they liquidated, can the entire Chinese film industry be liquidated? The older generation of the Chinese film industry has all run away, who will make the movie? There are too many directors and young directors who have joined forces to besiege Zhou Yang this time, and most of them are in the film circle......"

"Damn, this wave of Zhou Yang can only suffer a dumb loss?"

"It's not a loss to be dumb, in fact, everyone is just playing with mouths, having a good time, really let them actually ban Zhou Yang, they don't have this ability...... At most, the relevant departments came forward to suppress this hot search...... Zhou Yang debuted too fast, and his achievements were too powerful, and he was very jealous...... And this year's various behaviors have really offended capital......"

"There's always someone behind this, right?"

"The main messenger must have, haven't you noticed that our company has a close relationship with the DV company of Hollywood recently? The "Righteous Hero" project has been officially launched, and the senior management is afraid that when "Righteous Hero" is launched, Zhou Yang will come to such a hand, so they suppressed it in advance......"

"Shhhhh......h

"Director Jiang should be in high spirits now, I heard that "Righteous Man" designated him to shoot ......"

"Didn't you refuse? He's going to shoot "Painted Skin" ......"

"How can you refuse, how much investment is in "Righteous Heroes", and he is the first Chinese superhero, making "Righteous Heroes" is a real milestone movie......"

"But I heard that Director Cao has ......"

“……”

Django returns to Starlight.

When I returned to Starlight, I heard someone whispering about it.

I don't know why, seeing Zhou Yang eating deflated on the Internet, Django, who was attacked by a group, didn't feel very happy, but felt a trace of indescribable sadness in his heart.

That's how strange people are at times.

At this moment, he recalled that he still hated Zhou Yang, and even after thinking of some things, he gritted his teeth, eager to pull Zhou Yang's skin and tendons, nail him to the pillar of fire and burn him to death.

But on the other hand......

He also felt that without Zhou Yang, the Chinese film industry should be a backwater so far.

Maybe he can do something when Django takes the throne, but it definitely can't be now.

Even he sometimes envies Zhou Yang, no matter what is praised or scolded, Zhou Yang stands on the position of absolute freedom.

And he ......

"Mr. Li, an investment of 10 million, I'm afraid it's not enough...... "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is an oriental magic movie that requires a lot of special effects......"

He took the elevator up to the top floor and knocked on the door of Li Zhongjun in the office of the boss of Xinghui.

Li Zhongjun was posting something on Weibo, and when he saw Django walking in, Li Zhongjun first showed a smile, and then after hearing Django's answer, he frowned: "Xiao Jiang, you know, now the company is busy with the movie "Righteous Man", in addition to this movie, there is also the main theme disaster movie "Nanjing...... The cost of these two films is huge......"

"Didn't investors invest in it? And the gang of people from Changhong Cinema ......"

"Our company has also invested some, and, Xiao Jiang, you know, in recent years, Xinghui has deployed overseas and invested in several overseas movies, and now it costs a lot of money, and 10 million is already the limit that the company can take...... The rest, if it's not enough, go find an investor yourself? ”

"The investment budget is 150 million, I have found a lot of investment, they are willing to come up with 40 million, and there are nearly 100 million ......" When Django saw Li Zhongjun say this, he suddenly didn't know what to say, and he finally lowered his head.

"This is not the company's problem, this is your problem, Xiao Jiang, he is also a young man, why did Zhou Yang get tens of millions of box office income with millions of investments, why can't you?"

"Times are different......

"It's not an excuse."

"Mr. Li, if it's convenient, can I ask the special effects team of "Righteous Man" to help me with "Liao Zhai Painted Skin"? If they helped, I could save at least 30 million, and I couldn't find a good special effects team......"

"You have to discuss this with Director Cao, aren't you a master and apprentice?"

“……”

Django leaves the office.

Both unwilling and a little depressed.

[The same young man, why did Zhou Yang get tens of millions of box office income with an investment of hundreds of thousands, why can't you? ] 】。

The words kept ringing in his ears, but he didn't feel angry, nor did he feel uncomfortable.

When answering Li Zhongjun, he said, "Times are different."

But when he went out, he lowered his head and muttered to himself: "I'm just an ordinary person......"

After returning to his office, he made a phone call to Cao Bangguo and told him about it.

Cao Bangguo was silent on the phone for a while, and then sighed: "The cooperation project of "Righteous Heroes" is in charge of Mr. Li's niece Wu Tong, Wu Tong is the matchmaker between DV Company and Xinghui, and "Righteous Heroes" is the project built by her, and now, she has moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage...... I'm just assisting her, little ginger, this project was originally your ......"

"Then my "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" ......"

"Zhou Yang can do it, why can't you?"

“……”

……………………

"Xu, are you looking for me?"

"You have this plan, I can't pass it here......"

"Why? The 500 million box office of the Huaxia Young Directors Association in the first half of the year has completely exceeded ......," An Xiao frowned.

"I know the relationship between you and Zhou Yang, but we have to talk about many things according to the process, and you revoke all benefits, which is too much to do...... Of course, you have to do it, and I will give you the approval, but everything must be done carefully......"

"Then you can give it an approval."

"Are you sure?"

"Approval!"

"Oh, good!"
