Chapter 42 Press Conference (II)

Zhang Yi is here, and he has a close relationship with Xu Ke...

What does it mean?

Minsheng Bank is also here...

"Be quiet!" Gao Fenfen spoke first: "I'm delaying everyone's time, let me say it first, just one thing, our company has taken over the publicity and distribution of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"..."Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was officially released at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and in addition, Xu Ke's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" will not be able to meet you until the 23rd..."

Concisely announced the news he wanted to announce, and Gao Fenfen went straight to the point:

"Okay, if you have anything to ask, ask!"

Someone immediately raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, how did you take over the publicity and distribution of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?" What about New Picture Company? They agreed? ”

"Because of the breach of contract in the new picture, Minsheng Bank took back the copyright of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"... Then we have been cooperating with Minsheng Bank, and they asked us to publicize and issue, so we will take over! ”

As she spoke, Gao Fenfen invited three staff members of Minsheng Bank to come over and answer specific questions...

The staff of Minsheng Bank said, "Minsheng Bank provided a loan of 150 million yuan to the new picture, which was used for the filming of the movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and the collateral was the copyright of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

"Tax evasion?"

“… The case is still under investigation, and because we are the lender, we specially contacted the Ministry of Public Security to find out about it! ”

The reporters at the scene were silent for a long time, and then asked like crazy: "Xudong, do you know about Zhang Weiping's illegal affairs?" ”

“… Where do I know? I don't even know him! ”

Immediately, a reporter asked Zhang Yi: "Director Zhang, do you know these things?" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head: "I... I don't know... I only make movies..."

Asked a bunch of questions...

Although it is a fierce material, everyone present is a master of Tai Chi, and will not reveal any real news at all!

Could it be that Shen Xudong will openly admit that he caused Zhang Weiping to be investigated?

What a joke, unless his brain is in water!

"Okay, there are three more questions, if you have anything to ask, hurry up!"

Xiao Shi raised his hand desperately, and Chen Xi saw it: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I want to ask, the two films "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" are both distributed by TiMi Media, will that cause internal competition?"

Chen Xi said: "No, we have calculated, after an interval of about ten days, "Thirteen Hairpins" will be released first, and 400 million will be taken first; followed by "Dragon Gate", "Dragon Gate" accounted for 60%, "Thirteen Hairpins" accounted for 40%, and the box office of 1 billion behind, "Thirteen Hairpins" can almost 400 million, that is, 8 billion, and the last 600 million of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor". That's what makes it a win-win situation! ”

Gao Fenfen answered: "I want to review it here, I did it because I was angry before, in fact, director Xu Ke and director Zhang Yi are directors who have made great contributions to Chinese films, and we do distribution to help these films maximize the market, not hurt each other." And the two directors have known each other for decades, and the relationship has always been very good, when director Yi went to Hong Kong to shoot "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", director Xu Ke was the producer of that play... Because of the conflict of mood between the internal distribution company, it is good for the two friends to fight head-on, and I feel quite sorry for them..."

This question is not nutritious, and the second question comes.

"Xudong, you had such a stiff quarrel with the new picture before, why did you take over "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?"

Shen Xudong replied seriously: "... Because the background of this movie is the Nanjing Massacre, let's tell the truth, the influence of director Zhang Yi is indeed world-class, especially in Japan... Everyone also knows that Nippon has not publicly acknowledged the Holocaust until now... A world-class director in China makes a film with the background of the Nanjing Massacre..."

"And it's not Nanjing! Nanking! The so-called anti-war film... I can't bear to let this movie be ruined by stupid people..."

"Stupid people? Do you mean Zhang Weiping? ”

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, I still can't figure it out, this movie has so much to promote, so much worth telling, why only seize the passion scene and bed scene hype?" This propaganda point is so insulting, not only insulting the movie itself, but also more than a thousand staff members who have worked hard for this movie! ”

Chen Xi saw Shen Xudong put down the microphone, got up and said, "There is another question... Who asks? ”

"I want to ask... Will Director Zhang cooperate with TiMi Media in the future? ”

“… This...", Zhang Yi was about to answer, Shen Xudong raised the microphone: "I'll answer this question, you guessed it, we are discussing the specific cooperation method with Director Yi... However, for the time being, our focus is on "Thirteen Hairpins", and when the movie is released, we will discuss it better, and if there is a result, we will announce it to the outside world as soon as possible! ”

……

The whole circle is boiling!

Tianmei Media took over "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", the two Zhang separated, and Shen Xudong publicly announced that Zhang Yi was about to cooperate with Tianmei Media...

The three messages directly swiped the screen.

Circle... Especially the people in the Beijing circle reacted more violently, you must know that Zhang Yi is in the northwest circle, and he can't match the Beijing circle at all, so Feng Xiaogang or Wang Shuo made a bunch of yin and yang weird remarks, Wang Shuo publicly claimed that 'Zhang Yi is a stinky!' ’…

Shen Xudong, as the new leader of the Beijing circle, how can he cooperate with Zhang Yi?

This is some of the opinions of the more old-fashioned people...

Where is the circle now?

Even Gao Xiaosong can pull 30 million to drum up a movie, is he from the Beijing circle?

Oh, I heard that the Huang brothers are angry... But there is no specific rumor, yes, under the influence of Chen Guofu, the Huayi film department is vigorously absorbing artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan...

In their opinion, Zhang Yi is nothing!

Moreover, when people go to film, Huang Zhongjun spends money like dirt, buys a few paintings a year, waves his hand is hundreds of millions, travels in luxury cars, lives in luxury houses, and every flower and grass at home exudes the smell of money.

The media's response is relatively normal, that is, it is simply to report on this matter;

However, netizens mentioned a problem that made the company very entangled: the North American screening of "Thirteen Hairpins"!

After taking over the distribution, the TiMi staff knew that the global distribution of "Thirteen Hairpins" had almost come to a standstill, especially the North American distribution, which was not the 2,000 theaters that Zhang Weiping had forced to open at all, but a small company called Wrekin Hill...

Founded last year and released two films, "The Way Back" and "Heather", it is not strong at all...

The reason why Zhang Weiping came to them was not because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor!

In fact, the Toronto Film Festival has gone, and no company has taken over at all...

It is said that it is because of the obstruction of the Japanese benzene forces...

Shen Xudong called Joseph and asked Joseph, who investigated it, and then said: "The main reason is that Zhang Weiping's price is too high, and no company is willing to buy out the copyright at a high price after only watching a 20-minute film... The conditions were harsh, and a lot of publishers with a bit of strength left, and Wrekin Hill signed a split-account contract..."

"Are you optimistic about this company?"

"I heard that the filmmaker of "Thirteen Hairpins" didn't give a dime to the distribution company, and it is estimated that the distribution company will not contribute!"
