Chapter 299: Hitting a Stone with an Egg

""Seven Days of Killing" exploded in France!"

"What's exploding?"

"If you look at the website AlloCinΓ©, yesterday there were only 1,000 comments, and now they all break 3,000! And all of them are good reviews, the few bad reviews are because the movie was so scary that they gave up before they could make it to the end! ”

"Oh my God! This ......"

"When can we see this movie?"

"I don't know, but we shouldn't be able to watch it, the mainland has a unique censorship system for this kind of movie, it is estimated that it can't be reviewed, we can only go to Hong Kong Island to see ......"

"Oh!"

"However, I've heard that a lot of people have bought tickets to go to France and go to Brazil to see this movie......"

"Actually, don't be so troublesome, I heard that [J&T Video Website] has updated some clips!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chinese.

Xu Shengnan silently looked at "Seven Days of Killing" on the hot search.

She was silent.

At this moment, she had to realize her mistake, and this time the mistake was even a failure!

On that day, she should insist that [Starlight Future] cooperate with this movie!

Even, on that day, she shouldn't have asked Ke Zhanyi to take on "Future Special Police", on the third day, the daily box office of "Future Special Police" had fallen by 10 million......

The theater side has limited potential to watch this movie, and has begun to shrink the film's schedule.

Tomorrow will only get worse.

The reviews of "Future Special Police" are miserable, she once thought about relying on operation to increase the reputation of this movie, but after seeing countless bad reviews, she chose to give up.

A good operation meets a good work, that's Wang Bang!

But when a good operation encounters a bad movie, it can only be firecrackers and, which stinks!

Xu Shengnan began to be pessimistic about "Future Special Police", although he did not lose money, if there was no accident, this movie would have been nailed to the pillar of shame of the 2010 Spring Festival movie, and then ridiculed by the group.

If......

Ke Zhanyi chose the horror film "Seven Days to Kill", if [Starlight Future] and [NC Studio] had not had a happy time, Zhang Sheng would still cooperate with [Starlight Future].

Xu Shengnan briefly thought about a lot of ifs, but now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing to say.

in the office.

Xu Shengnan received a call from overseas.

On the overseas phone, the box office of "Seven Days Killing" was picked up!

The box office three days after the premiere of "Seven Days to Kill" in France was $2,000, $10,000, and $20,000!

Because there is only one movie theater, even if this movie theater is full, the box office share is very limited......

Xu Shengnan looked at the box office in Brazil again, the Brazilian box office is much more amazing than France, with 30,000 US dollars in the first release, then 50,000, 90,000......

Thanks to the influence of "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain" and the influence of the [Southern California International Film Awards], a lot of rights have been sold in Brazil......

Although, the total box office of "Seven Days of Killing" in three days was only 220,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 1.2 million yuan......

But, never the end of this movie!

Xu Shengnan then received another phone call, another call, which was from China.

This phone call allowed Xu Shengnan to confirm that a video website called [J&T], which has recently emerged, is a video website owned by Zhang Sheng!

The backbones of [J&T Video] are actually a few students who have helped Zhang Sheng make a website together......

Xu Shengnan clicked on the [J&T Video] website.

She saw that in the [J&T Video], there were all kinds of clips and videos about "Seven Days to Kill......

As soon as these videos were posted, they were clicked by nearly 10,000 people, and the comments below were refreshed every few minutes.

Xu Shengnan looked at it for a while, then closed his eyes faintly.

She has realized that Zhang Shengzhi's "business ecological network" has become more and more terrifying.

It is not only a content, but also a source, not only a source, but also a platform......

There was a knock at the door.

She saw Ke Zhanyi walking in silently, with a somewhat sad expression on her face.

"Sister Shengnan, I don't want to shoot "Happy Family 2010", is it okay?"

"It's a blockbuster with an investment of nearly 50 million, and this is a rare opportunity for our mainland to cooperate with filmmakers on Hong Kong Island, and this opportunity is not available to everyone."

"It's a bad movie! Worse than "Future SWAT" ......"

"Do you have a good film project other than this movie?"

"I'm ......" Ke Zhanyi was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Xu Shengnan looked at Ke Zhanyi: "I know you have your own ideas, I have learned about this movie, although I don't know how the script is, but the director's salary for Ling is already two million, and I will also give you a part of the box office share, and the date is short, only half a month, Director Ke, we have to eat a full meal, and when we are full, we will think about artistic creation......"

"Sister Shengnan, it's not about money, I don't feel like I have any say in this company, I'm like a marionette......"

After seeing Ke Zhanyi's expression, Xu Shengnan was silent for a long time, and finally: "Do you have Zhang Sheng's courage?" ”

"I, no ......"

"Do you have Bi Feiyu's talent?"

"I ......"

"Do you have perseverance?"

"I ......"

"Do you have the ambition to gamble once? Put all your net worth on the low, if you win, you will completely control the right to speak, and if you lose, you will have nothing, and you will not even be able to turn over in this life......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Every word Xu Shengnan said was like a needle piercing Ke Zhanyi's heart.

Ke Zhanyi's lips trembled slightly, and in the end he could only keep shaking his head.

"You don't have anything, so why do you want to have a say?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Reality is like a mountain, pressing Ke Zhanyi's body.

His face was frighteningly pale, but he eventually lowered his head.

He suddenly felt that he was an ordinary person.

"Director Ke, I know that Zhang Sheng's rise has given you a lot of stimulation, his legendary experience has almost made countless people feel excited, I believe that he can break through the class barrier and climb higher and higher, but, I hope you can understand that you are not Zhang Sheng, since you chose to follow us [Starlight Future], your fate has been separated from Zhang Sheng! You, like me, although you have detailed information, although you never dare to underestimate Zhang Sheng, but when "Seven Days of Killing" came out, I still didn't think Zhang Sheng could create a miracle! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"The reality is very cruel, but everyone, including myself, has to accept it, I still say the same thing, you are not qualified to pick and choose now, the company values you very much, no matter what movie you make, as long as you can make a profit, the company will always hold you and let you make money! After you really make money, you will think about investment and control of the right to speak, it will take time, and it is impossible for anyone to reach the sky in one step, even if it is a monster like Zhang Sheng, he has come over step by step like this, let alone you! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ke Zhanyi heard Xu Shengnan staring at him and said this.

He still lowered his head, but the emotion of wanting to "control" gradually faded a lot, and he even felt the shame of "waking up from a dream with a word".

After Xu Shengnan finished speaking, the office fell silent for a while.

Then, there was a knock at the door.

Zheng Chengwu walked in, and when he saw Ke Zhanyi, his face showed unprecedented seriousness.

"Director Ke, "Seven Days of Killing" is officially going to be shortlisted for Cannes!"

"Huh?"

"The screenwriter of this movie, it's you, right?"

"The complete script should have been written by me."

"Oh! Katsuo, please contact our legal department......"

After Ke Zhanyi finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Chengwu, but saw Zheng Chengwu squinting his eyes and walking towards Xu Shengnan, as if he wanted to discuss something important with Xu Shengnan!

The legal department?

What is the legal department?

……………………………

France.

The afternoon sun shone on Zhang Sheng's face.

Zhang Sheng took a sip of bitter coffee, which was mellow and distant.

Avery. Tashi is back at the Sairu Cinema.

This time I came over and brought good news.

"Seven Days to Kill", as a horror film, was actually shortlisted for the [Cannes International Film Festival].

Horror films have been shortlisted for the three major international film festivals in Europe!

This is the first of its kind......

Bi Feiyu next to him was so excited that he didn't know how to speak, but he just thanked Avery in broken French. Tashi.

But Avery. Tashi listened really weirdly, and finally waved his hand and asked Bi Feiyu to speak in English!

...... 2010

Being shortlisted for any of the three major international film festivals in Europe is explosive news for the entire Chinese film circle.

Bi Feiyu won a small award at the Berlin International Film Festival some time ago, and countless filmmakers on the Internet were blown into the sky, as if he was already a young director in the limelight of the sixth generation of directors, if he won another award in Cannes......

Damn it!

This can't go to heaven?

Zhang Sheng listened to Avery. After Tashi told him about the process of the [Cannes International Film Festival], he nodded with a smile on his face to express his gratitude, but his heart was very calm.

He doesn't even make any waves, he is not a filmmaker, and he has no attraction to the name "Cannes International Film Festival".

"Avery. Mr. Tashi, can you bring the judges from Cannes to the second edition of the Southern California International Film Awards? ”

Avery. Tashi heard this sentence coldly......

Subsequently, Avery. Tashi's expression was a little complicated, and finally looked at Zhang Sheng: "After the three major film festivals in Europe, the Oscars, how many people are willing to participate in your [Southern California International Film Awards]?" ”

"...... that will be attended by someone"

Just as Zhang Sheng was squinting his eyes and smiling, Zhang Sheng's mobile phone vibrated loudly.

He glanced at it, only to see that it was Ke Zhan Wings who came over.

"Thank God, Mr. Zhang, your call has finally gotten through......"

"Director Ke, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Zheng of [Starlight Future], I hope to let me talk to you about ......"

"What are you talking about?"

"Mr. Zheng means that the screenwriter of "Seven Days to Kill" is me, I hope I can get an invitation letter, and at the same time, I also hope that you can add my name to the screenwriter column......"

"Director Ke, have you watched this movie?"

"Huh? I didn't go abroad, so I didn't have time to look, what's wrong? ”

"The screenwriter of this movie is not your ......"

"Huh?"

"The plot of him is completely different from the plot on your script, and the new version of the script of "Seven Days of Killing", we have registered it in both China and France......"

"Mr. Zhang, this ......"

At this time, Zhang Sheng heard that Ke Zhanyi's phone seemed to have been robbed, and then, a middle-aged man's voice appeared on the phone: "Maybe the plot of the script is different, but the most classic picture, the picture of Sadako crawling out of the TV, is conceived by our Director Ke, from a dream of Director Ke, use this to let Director Ke add a name, isn't it too much?" ”

"I'm sorry, but this is not ...... that Director Ke came up with."

"Obviously it was thought up by Director Ke, we have the script composition of the first version of the screenwriter, Zhang Sheng, I hope we can cooperate well as before, if not, we can only go to court!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, you'd better not fight the lawsuit, because you can't win at all!"

"What can't you win? We have proof! As I said, we have the first draft of the script and various compositions for the first version! ”

"Mr. Zheng, you can try, but I think you are reining in the precipice now, don't do something impulsive!"

"Mr. Zhang, I advise you not to hit the stone with an egg, don't think that you are in the limelight now, you can bully and encroach on our copyright at will!"

"Mr. Zheng, it is you who really hit the stone with an egg, and the first-hand evidence I have is much more detailed than yours...... If you don't believe me, you can try, but are you sure you want to tear your face with me? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The other party hung up the phone.

Zhang Sheng was not angry because of the other party's words, but smiled.
