Chapter 577 The showdown outside the scene
The next day, Yang Siwei responded to the media on behalf of Rongchen Pictures and Zhang Yimou Studio.
"The investment in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is US$35 million, or RMB 222 million. This investment scale is definitely a blockbuster standard in China, but compared with the RMB 600 million of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", it pales into insignificance. "Three Hairpins" looks forward to bringing an audio-visual feast to audiences across the country during the Lunar New Year festival together with other blockbusters."
Immediately afterwards, Tong Dawei broke the news on Weibo
"There are many war scenes in the film "The Golden Prince." In order to achieve the best special effects, the crew specially invited the British team that was responsible for the production of war explosion special effects scenes in "Saving Private Ryan."
"The lamps used for big explosions cost ten thousand dollars per bulb!"
Wang Zhonglei was so angry that he trembled all over: "This horse riding is what he calls win-win cooperation?"
Xu Li lowered his head and did not dare to answer, and added in his mind: What is win-win cooperation, strike first to gain the upper hand!
Ma Yun was outside the office and saw everything clearly, and immediately dialed Li Chen's phone number.
"Fortunately, I didn't wait until "Journey to the West" was released before cashing in. I'm now 100% sure that "Journey to the West" will be difficult, and your shadow will definitely be behind it."
Ma Yun spoke cryptically, but Li Chen just pretended to be stupid: "I don't understand what you are talking about, Old Ma."
"Are you stupid after reading the novel? Feng Qingyang becomes Zhang San crazy!"
"Hahaha, pretend, just pretend. I've finally figured it out for you. You are a ruthless person. Those two brothers really didn't have any good deeds in their last lives when they met you."
"Tell me how you plan to deal with "Journey to the West"!"
Li Chen cursed in his heart and couldn't tell you how to deal with it.
"Lao Ma, you are just reducing your holdings, not clearing them. You, a shareholder of Huayi, are talking to me about these baseless things. I am very suspicious of your motives!"
"What did I do to make you misunderstand me like this?"
Ma Yun secretly scolded Li Chen for being thick-skinned, but wasn't she the same kind of person?
Otherwise, how can we succeed?
Huayi didn't have time to fight back.
Nini posted several more updates about the "Thirteen Hairpins" crew in Hollywood on Weibo.
The most eye-catching one is a photo of the crew with Zhang Yimou and Li Chen.
Add one sentence and three words on the line below.
Director: Zhang Yimou
Producer: Li Chen
Actor: Bell.
Chong Ao Zhong.
This picture of Nini became the headline of the entertainment section that day.
The title is eye-catching and eye-catching: The girl is trying to win the Olympics!
Countless netizens and fans left messages below.
"Dimensionality reduction strike! This is crushing "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in terms of investment cost, special effects, lineup, and publicity!"
"Based on the reputation of Yimou Yili, "Thirteen Hairpins" is played by passers-by, and that would be Wang Zha."
""Thirteen Hairpins" is competing for the Olympics, and there is only one film representing China competing for the Olympics every year."
Hua Yi's reaction was a beat slow, but he still took action, but with little effect.
""Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has more advantages as the only 3DIMAX Chinese-language film at the end of the year!"
"In order to ensure the three-dimensional visual effect of the film, the film invited a total of 9 of the world's top special effects companies to join in the post-production of special effects, with as many as 1,058 special effects shots."
"Director Xu Ke is also very confident about the film's 3DIMAX effect, saying it is no worse than Hollywood movies."
"Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Guilun Mei are all big names in the hearts of the Chinese people. Compared with a single Hollywood star, the all-star cast of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is obviously more close to the people and more in line with the appetite of the Chinese people!"
Even the words "Hollywood stars helping out" popped up, and Huayi was obviously anxious.
Xu Ke's head is as big as a bucket now! The heated discussion on the Internet about the release of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and the release of "Thirteen Hairpins" on the same day are almost overwhelmingly negative for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". Wang Zhonglei's wishful thinking has come to nothing.
"Mr. Wang, I told you not to raise the file before, but you refused to listen. What's the use of mentioning it for the past two days?"
"Director Xu, stop talking. I don't need you to teach me how to do things!" Wang Zhonglei said with a dark face and coldly hung up the phone on Xu Ke.
Xu Ke took the phone and sighed deeply: "Chen Kexin still understands"
Not to mention Xu Ke, even people like Zhou Xingxing, who are not familiar with the world, began to worry about "Journey to the West".
The scene from the "Chinese Police" celebration party flashed through Zhou Xingxing's mind again.
Even Director Han was helpless about Li Chen's indifference.
Zhou Xingxing deeply felt Li Chen's status in domestic entertainment.
Will today's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" be tomorrow's "Journey to the West"?
In any case, Zhou Xingxing made up his mind to try not to be squeezed into the same schedule as Rongchen Pictures.
"I really should have roped in Rongchen Pictures just like we roped in China Film Group." Tian Qiwen was well-rounded and naturally knew what Zhou Xingxing was worried about.
"Forget it, next time, next time you do this." Zhou Xingxing smoothed back his long gray hair with his right hand and pretended to be relaxed.
The off-screen battles between Rongchen Pictures and Huayi for "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" were seen by insiders as less than physical combat.
Celebrities in the circle who ate melons secretly expressed their pleasure and at the same time became mute.
Whenever Rongchen Pictures and Huayi confront each other, the stars are overwhelmingly optimistic about Rongchen Pictures.
But you asked them to come out and take sides, unless they are artists from Rongchen Pictures, such as Yang Mi, a big girl from the capital.
Li Chen held a farewell banquet for Tang Yan at home, just like Zhou Xun did.
Li Chen sat at the head of the long table and said "Rongchen Pictures will always be your support" which made Tang Yan burst into tears instantly.
Luo Jin and others on the side quickly expressed their relief.
When Zhou Xun left, everyone was very restrained.
Tang Yan's crying made Yang Mi and others' eyes turn red.
"Thank you, boss! Thank you. I know that I am not as talented as Brother Xun, not as strong-willed as Mimi, and not as connected as Xiao Zhu."
Zhu Yawen immediately protested with a smile: "Hey, hey! What's the relationship? I got Director Li's attention based on my strength, okay!"
Zhao Liying whispered: "What is the strength of my classmates?"
Made everyone present laugh.
Zhu Yawen was speechless.
No wonder Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun are called Rong Chen's double swords. They threw knives at each other suddenly, catching people off guard.
Seeing that the style of painting was going astray, Yang Siwei stood up and stopped it with a smile: "Okay, stop talking and listen to Tangtang."
Tang Yan also smiled: "It is said that a scholar will die for a confidant, and a woman will look good for someone who pleases her."
When Tang Yan said this, he first glanced at Li Chen, and then smiled at Luo Jin beside him.
"No matter how things change in the future, my boss will always be my boss, and this will never change."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yan raised half a glass of red wine in his hand and drank it in one gulp
Li Chen said with a helpless smile: "It sounds like I'm being kidnapped. Is it all over?"
Everyone laughed and said in unison: "The boss will always be my boss!"
Only Yang Mi: "The senior will always be my senior."
