Chapter 473: Two Sides and Three Swords
In the screening hall, "Lizard Man" is still being screened, but "Lizard Man" does not have the shock of the original "Superman", but the appearance of "Lizard Man" made some audiences a little difficult to accept for a while, especially when some pictures of "transformation", people instinctively feel a little uncomfortable......
Of course, the 3D special effects and graphics are still very exquisite, but the movie has a gloomy wind from beginning to end, and the most shots are in the sewers and damp and dim alleys, and in the corners.
Some fans feel that the opening of this movie is very good, with a sense of déjà vu of an alternative blockbuster, while some fans are not used to this dark style of painting and instinctively feel fear.
Zhao Fang doesn't pay attention to these things.
His eyes were fixed on the door of the screening room the whole time.
When he decided to compromise the situation again, he saw Zhou Yilin running outside the theater to make a call.
This time the phone was called for a long time, and it wasn't until about halfway through the screening of "Lizard Man" that Zhao Fang saw Zhou Yilin holding the phone and walking over slowly.
"Director Zhou, what did President Feng say?"
"No problem......
"How did you talk to President Feng?"
"It's just to talk about the current situation in the meeting, as well as future plans, in fact, President Feng is not such a stingy person, and he also feels a little guilty about your "Our Country" in his heart......"
"Oh, that's ......"
"Yes! Rest assured. ”
After seeing Zhou Yilin's smiling expression, Zhao Fang's nervous mood finally relaxed: "Then, when will it be released?" ”
"You can ...... in the afternoon"
"Really? So fast? Will Zhou Yang's side ...... Put sand in the machine? ”
"Don't worry...... Zhou Yang knew the situation better than anyone else, although he felt that there was definitely a grievance in his heart in this matter, he could only bow his head. ”
"Uh-oh."
People always have to bow their heads to life and the situation.
Among the older generation of directors, Zhao Fang also worked hard for many years to get out.
After boiling it out, didn't he give up the National Day premiere of "Our Country" because of Chen Kai's words such as "Huaxia directors must unite and unite with the outside world" and "drive out this rule-breaking rat"?
Zhao Fang thought of his own situation, and then thought of Zhou Yang.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt that Zhou Yang should have bowed to something.
After all......
Who would believe that Zhou Yang would take the initiative to give up the support of "film support and policy through train"?
Thinking about it this way, Zhao felt a lot better.
…………………………
"Zhou Yang compromised a lot this time......"
"My feeling is that I can't press it down anymore, and if I press it down, it's easy to backfire......"
"The relevant departments gave us "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is an opportunity, and we also appropriately released some goodwill to Zhou Yang, I personally think that authorizing the movie "Our Country" to Xingyang to play can be regarded as an attitude for us to show the relevant departments, after all, these two people wear the same pants ......"
"Xingyang wanted several other movies besides "Our Country", and these were naturally rejected by me......"
"These people are too insatiable, how can movies such as "Sword God", Xiao Bin's police movie "Dark Latent", and Zhang Liansong's "Beast" be licensed to Xingyang? Which green onion is he Zhou Yang? ”
“……”
Feng Rui's smile faded after hanging up the phone.
Zhou Yilin seemed to have no problem saying and doing things, but he instinctively felt that Zhou Yilin was ambitious.
In the association, some directors have recently gotten very close to Zhou Yilin, and they get along with everyone very well, and now it is a special time for the re-election......
The more Feng Rui thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Yilin's calculations were too much.
Naturally, he was vigilant.
Moreover, he is keenly aware that Zhou Yilin, the smiling tiger, seems to be thinking about the Huaxia Film Association every word he says, and it seems that he is talking about various things for the association, but maybe it is also inextricably linked to Zhou Yang's "Young Directors Association", and it is very likely that all of this is a bureau that Zhou Yilin and Zhou Yang have joined forces to do for them.
But Feng Minrui chose not to do anything, and he was only in the stage of doubt, Zhou Yilin is now popular in the association, and many directors have a good impression of him, so he can only wait for the time being.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Feng Minrui received a call from Shen Jinsong.
"Director Shen, what's wrong?"
"President Feng, I want to talk to you."
"We can talk on the phone."
"I'll come and talk to you."
"Oh, good."
Shen Jinsong's phone was full of mixed emotions, Feng Minrui rarely heard this emotion in Shen Jinsong's voice, and he instinctively realized that Shen Jinsong had something hidden in his heart.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door in the office, and then he saw Shen Jinsong's face anxious, with a sense of gain and loss.
"I've seen Lizard Man."
"How? The film ......"
"It's quite in-depth, and the depiction of human nature is more detailed than "Superman", which is one of the few movies in superhero movies, but it's ......"
"But what?"
"I saw a lot of fans at the scene who didn't like the shape of Lizard Man, in order to pursue the realism of the combination of human genes and lizard genes, director Scoro. Peggy made the movie full of too many "uncanny valley" elements, especially the transformation of those scenes, many children were scared on the spot, the audience of this movie may not be as ......big as "Superman", Shen Jinsong sat opposite Feng Minrui, and said very seriously his own sense of "Lizard Man", as well as the reaction of the audience, after speaking, he looked into the distance, with a desire to speak and stopped.
"Not that big audience?"
"In addition to young people, there are some children in superhero movies, and in terms of review, there is nothing wrong with "Lizard Man", but when I actually watch it, it still makes goosebumps stand up, this is not like a superhero movie, more like a monster movie...... And the ending of the movie, how to say it, the ending is also quite unacceptable, in order to shoot the sequel, the director deliberately resurrected the villain who was disgusting to the point of gnashing his teeth in an easter egg...... It's too deliberate, after watching the movie, I immediately went to see the ratings on the Internet, and the ratings on the Internet are much lower than "Superman"......"
"That's a good thing, it shows that Hollywood movies aren't invincible, right?" Feng Minrui said happily.
"yes, indeed."
After Shen Jinsong looked at Feng Minmin's happy expression, he suddenly smiled and nodded.
Then the two chatted about other things about Hollywood movies, and also talked about the finalization of the release of Shen Jinsong's movie "Sword God".
But Shen Jinsong has always been in a state of absent-mindedness, and the chat has been stiffened several times.
At noon, Shen Jinsong left the office under Feng Min's suspicious gaze.
After leaving the office, Feng Rui felt that there seemed to be an indescribable sense of estrangement between him and Shen Jinsong.
It was as if Shen Jinsong had suddenly changed into a different person.
Outside the office.
Shen Jinsong got into the car, looked into the distance, his originally calm expression suddenly became unwilling, his face was briefly distorted, and then his gaze became cold, and finally turned into disappointment.
After watching "Lizard Man", he not only realized that Hollywood movies are not invincible, but also saw an opportunity!
At the same time, he was deeply aware of how stupid and chilling Feng Minrui's behavior was this time.
With his judgment and vision for movies for so many years, he is sure that "Lizard Man" is very likely to be a Waterloo for Hollywood superhero movies.
The box office will not be bad, but because of the audience, this movie will not explode!
If "Sword God" is released on October 1 and fights "Lizard Man", it is very likely that "Sword God" will become famous!
The first Chinese film in history to defeat Hollywood movies!
What glory is that?
"How about the advance tickets and film schedule of "Sniper Phone Booth" now?"
"A few more ...... have been added now"
"What about the rating of "Lizard Man"?"
"Around 7.9, more and more viewers commented on Douban that this movie made them feel physiologically uncomfortable......"
“……”
Shen Jinsong closed his eyes as he listened.
Finally, he sighed faintly.
…………………………
Song Qianqian walked out of the movie theater.
She watched "Lizard Man" first, and then watched "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years".
"Lizard Man" made her very uncomfortable, and after watching half of it, she found that she really couldn't stand it.
The styling is disgusting, and she really doesn't like such a "superhero".
However, the movie "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" healed her.
Well, naturally, I was inevitably moved.
Xu Xiaohua, the agent next to her, chattered with her about tomorrow's album "The Furthest Distance" to promote it.
Song Qianqian nodded seriously as she listened.
"Sissi ......"
"What's wrong? Sister Xu. ”
"Have you considered making a personal studio?"
"What personal studio?"
"You have good looks now, and you are even more amazing, not inferior to Mr. Zhou's creative talent, and you have always been a signed artist of Huaxing, I think it is a bit condescending, I personally suggest that you can consider setting up a personal independent studio, when the time comes, I will help you go outside to pick up business, you can make more money......" The afternoon sun shone on the face of the agent Xu Xiaohua, Xu Xiaohua chattered endlessly.
"Sister Xu, are you letting me get independent from Huaxing?" Song Qianqian instantly frowned when she heard this.
"Sissi, your future is a diva, and the diva of the entire Chinese music scene is very likely to go overseas for development...... You have to take a long-term view, Huaxing, in a sense, I really limit you. Xu Xiaohua stared at Song Qianqian seriously: "It doesn't have to be independent, you can discuss it, first rely on Huaxing to operate independently, and then slowly break away from Huaxing's ......"
"I'm not going to do any of these things."
"You must be rational, not too emotional, Sissi, I say it is all for your good...... In the past, when you were weak, Huaxing could be a towering tree to shade you, but now that you have grown up and are on your own, this land lacks nourishment space...... To put it bluntly, who else can handle the singers of Huaxing now besides you? People don't pay attention to you at all...... The point isn't on you either, and do you know how much you're worth right now? It's close to 10 million......"
"I won't leave Huaxing's ......" Song Qianqian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and she was extremely disgusted with the agent Xu Xiaohua who said these words: "Do you know why I can create so many music ......"
Just when Song Qianqian shook her head and wanted to say something, her phone rang.
When the other party reported to herself, Song Qianqian was stunned.
