Chapter 469: The Premiere of Those Years (Part I)
"What does 'Our Country' say? Did the boss agree? ”
"We'll have to wait."
"President Feng, how long will you have to wait? Didn't you say that when there is no movie released on October 1, the relevant departments will come and beg us to come? Doesn't it mean that this year's eleventh, Hollywood has a very strong impact on Huaxia films, and it will affect the entire domestic film market, why didn't you go as you say, but the "Sniper Phone Booth" was increased in the number of films! ”
"Director Zhao, you calm down a little"
"I'm very calm now, but the capital behind it is not calm, after the release of "Sniper Phone Booth", they called me almost every few minutes, you see, it's the early morning of October 2, it's more than 30 calls, and lo and behold, it's here again......"
"This matter has to be negotiated, everything is based on the common interests of our association, Director Zhao, you have to have team spirit......"
"Is team spirit going to sacrifice me? I didn't think it was good to go against the relevant departments! ”
"It's not with the relevant departments, it's with An Xiao's ......"
"It's all the same, it's all now, does Xu Kangnian say anything now? I didn't let out a single fart, how smart people are, while telling us that we want to beat An Xiao down, and on the other hand, I am afraid that the people behind An Xiao will not dare to come openly, we will all become cannon fodder! ”
"Calm down!"
"How am I going to be calm? Fuck, I heard that "Our Country" will not be released in October, and I can't tell if the film will be scheduled until next year...... How do you calm me down! ”
“……”
The Huaxia Film Association is ostensibly united.
But this solidarity is based on interests and capital.
When both were damaged to a certain extent, the originally united association began to show signs of fragmentation.
In Feng Minrui's office, Zhao Fang, whose eyes were bloodshot, stood in front of Feng Minrui, so excited that he couldn't breathe, and his whole body trembled like an epileptic patient.
As a fifth-generation director who has worked hard for many years and finally got through, the movie "Our Country" has almost exhausted all of Zhao Fang's efforts, and he is full of hope that this movie will be released on October 1.
Half a month ago.
He was called into this office by Feng Minrui.
Feng Minrui chatted with him about family life, the future, the fifth generation of directors, and the sixth generation of directors of the new generation.
At first, he was said to be a little enthusiastic, but while chatting, he talked about the current situation of the Chinese film industry, talked about Zhou Yang's "rat", and said that Zhou Yang's rat is ambitious, and sooner or later it will turn the Chinese film industry upside down, and then their old people will have no place in China.
Zhao Fang was said to be a little indignant, especially when he thought of the cancellation of the "authority channel" of the relevant departments, he couldn't help but start to have a sense of crisis, and it was inevitable that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the feeling of being a cunning rabbit and a lackey cooking.
However, he never dreamed that Feng Minrui's next words would be so frightening, in order to suppress Zhou Yang, and in order to make An Xiao, the newly appointed little leader, fall on his heels, he even asked him to postpone the release of "Our Country......
He was shocked at the time, so he naturally refused at the first time.
Isn't this contrary to the relevant departments?
Seeing the refusal, Feng Ruirui was not surprised, but patiently started ideological work with Zhao Fang.
talked about how after he retired, the director of the fifth generation put Zhao on his side, and promised to support him in all aspects, and at the same time, in order to reassure him, he explained to him that it was not only his movie that was delayed.
Shen Jinsong's "Sword God", Xiao Bin's police movie "Dark Latent", and other movies that are ready to resist the docking in the second half of the year have been postponed, in fact, they are not against the relevant departments, but they are also discussing an explanation with the relevant departments, and promised to delay it by one day at most, and on October 2, the relevant departments will send people to talk to them about the release and the like.
After chatting all morning, Zhao Fang actually believed it, and did so......
But no one could have imagined that the movie released on October 1 would actually exceed everyone's expectations.
The weather was a little chilly in the early hours of the morning.
The office became silent.
Feng Minrui saw that Zhao Fang, who slapped the table and burst into a few foul words, instantly felt a slight chill on his face, but the chill disappeared in an instant and turned into a gentle smile.
"Don't worry, that's what we're doing today, so let's have a meeting together...... Those of us of the older generation have a great deal of weight in the film industry, and at most I will let go of this old face and talk to An Xiao about peace ......"
Zhao Fang's lips moved.
But in the end, nothing was said.
The anger has also disappeared, and I know that the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to get angry now, and the top priority is how to solve this matter.
At four o'clock in the morning, the office was filled with people again.
Shen Jinsong walked over, he nodded with Zhao Fang, and then glanced at Feng Minrui, but sat on the chair next to him without saying a word, lighting a cigarette and smoking it by himself.
"Didn't go well?"
"How did it go well? Now Ren An Xiao is so angry, Lao Cao and I used to sit on the cold bench......" Feng Minrui also saw that Shen Jinsong had a little resentment in his heart: "Now it's clear that we are dispensable, and we won't be shown the script...... With an attitude that you love to come, don't come and get out, I've never been so atmospheric in my life......"
The atmosphere in the office was quiet again.
At this time, Cao Bangguo pushed the door in with Django, and after Cao Bangguo said hello to everyone, he moved a stool and sat on the edge of the wall.
Django kept his head down slightly, although he was the vice president, everyone present was his elders, and he had always had little say in such office meetings.
"! I don't believe that Zhou Yang's dog ** can be so powerful, he's a fart! I don't believe that he is popular in every movie, is he a fairy or a demon? Damn it! ”
Not long after Cao Bangguo walked over, Chen Kai's scolding voice came from outside the office.
He came with Zhou Yilin, obviously with anger on his face......
Zhou Yilin listened, laughing, and echoing a few words, and when the two came in, the entire conference room began to feel extremely crowded and stuffy.
"Now that everyone is here, let's simply have a meeting."
"Hmm."
………………………………
This night, many people in the Chinese film industry were suffering from insomnia.
But not Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang slept in the villa beautifully, and after waking up, he received a call from Guan Tong after eating breakfast leisurely.
Guan Tong invited him to go to Xingyang Cinema to watch the premiere of the movie "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years".
For this "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years", the industry generally has a view that it is not too much to look forward to and cannot become a hit, but it is stable and progressive.
In fact, the audience who watched the movie was generally more Buddhist......
"'Sniper Phone Booth' grossed 25 million ...... yesterday"
"Because of the addition of a "Sniper Phone Booth" film schedule, the box office data of "Jaws" and "Men in Black" have declined a little, but "Jaws" still maintains 40 million, and "Men in Black" is 10 million......
"The general evaluation of the premiere of the movie "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" is 13 million, youth movies, and under the encirclement and suppression of so many blockbusters, it is already very good to get the box office of more than 10 million for the premiere, and the director is also quite satisfied with this premiere, after all, because of the problem of eleventh publicity, the advance tickets are quite ordinary in all aspects......"
"Liu Can and Director Liu's execution is very strong, and the crew of "Crazy Stone" has begun to look for actors in the circle, and director Zhang Changsheng's "Laughing Flowers All the Way" is faster than Director Liu Can's efficiency, and he has already brought a group of people and has been filmed, he just sent me a progress report, saying that the film will be completed in November, and the project "Eavesdropping" has just been prepared......"
In the car, Xu Mei told Zhou Yang some movie information related to her company, and nodded while listening: "How is Song Qianqian's new album?" ”
"The new album "The Furthest Distance" is warming up, Song Qianqian herself means that she intends to surprise fans on October 4th, but even so, this album has been spread in major post bars and fan groups, Q Dog Music, Kuwo Music, and Sodu Music's online music This piece has been prepared for October 4th advertising space, and then it is ready to be released on the whole network, and the physical album is relatively conservative, after all, the physical industry is becoming more and more sluggish, and this time the physical album is only prepared 40,000 copies... …”
"Oh."
Zhou Yang nodded.
Then he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the company was gradually starting to get on the right track, and everything was fine.
At this time, Xu Mei received a phone call.
After answering the phone, Xu Mei hesitated, and then looked at Zhou Yang: "The Taiwan Golden Horse Awards are ready to come over and send us an invitation letter in person, and they have come to give us a ...... before."
"Didn't he send us another invitation when we went over? What's going on now? ”
"I guess it's under pressure...... And this time to send the invitation, it seems that Django was sent over there......"
"Django? What does this have to do with Django?"
"It should be Feng Minrui, Feng Dao's compromise, Feng Minrui is a native of Taiwan, and has always maintained a good relationship with the Golden Horse Awards......"
"Oh."
"Shall we go?"
"No, these awards don't mean anything real to me......"
"The influence of the Golden Horse Awards is still quite big in China, Feng Kai and Director Feng have been very entangled recently, and his "Jinyi Wei" is also among the invitees......"
Zhou Yang fell into a long silence after listening.
Some awards have no substantial meaning to him now, but they are very meaningful to Feng Kai and others in the company.
Feng Kai has not won any substantive awards since "The Bottom of the Mine......
Just when Zhou Yang was silent, Xu Mei's phone rang again, Xu Mei answered the phone and looked at Zhou Yang: "The Golden Horse Awards invite you to be the guest of honor......
Zhou Yang did not answer Xu Mei's words, but continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
The car soon arrived at the Star Ocean Cinema Line.
He opened his eyes and then opened the car door in anticipation of countless reporters and fans.
"You tell Director Feng that during the time when the Golden Horse Awards were awarded, I just happened to be filming "Spider-Man", if it is convenient, let him go to the Golden Horse Awards on behalf of "Infernal Affairs" and "Jinyiwei", I won't go to ......"
Zhou Yang looked at the crowded Xingyang Cinema, Guan Tong who had been waiting for a long time in the distance, and the awe-inspiring eyes of the young actors, and a surging smile appeared on his face.
