Chapter 115 Bona poached, Guang Guang protected the food
But she hadn't been proud for a long time, Zhang Chen's greeting completely ruined her good mood.
"Miss Zhang Ziyi~"
It was Zhang Ziyi who walked towards her, followed by a woman.
“Hello, Director Zhang, I am Ji Lingling, Ziyi’s manager.”
"Hello, Ms. Ji."
Shaking hands with the two of them, Dong Jianqiang, who had been paying attention here, also came over.
"Miss Ziyi is really sorry. I have always wanted to meet you, but I have been really busy recently..."
Dong Jianqiang apologized. After Zhang Ziyi agreed to star in "Eden Lake", The two parties agreed to meet and discuss in detail, and signed the contract by the way.
Then they caught up with the promotion of "Shark Beach". He and Zhang Chen were busy going around every day, so the meeting was put on hold.
"Sorry, sorry, when I finish this period of time, we can sign the contract immediately. By the way, Ms. Zhang can reveal this matter during the interview, and we will announce it to the public later."
< br>It is a taboo to keep delaying signing the contract, which will make the actors feel that the producers are playing tricks on them.
So Dong Jianqiang specifically explained that Zhang Ziyi’s side could announce it to the public in advance, and they would cooperate to admit it, just to ease Zhang Ziyi’s heart.
Sure enough, Zhang Ziyi and Ji Lingling were very happy when Xingchen Entertainment said so.
They did worry about this before. After all, they had never cooperated before and had no idea what the other party was like.
Then, a middle-aged man with a big face and a fat face came over.
Fan Jiuyi quickly reminded at the side: "This is Yu Dong from Bona."
Before Zhang Chen had time to speak, Yu Dong had already spoken enthusiastically: "Director Zhang Well, I am Yu Dong from Bona. I have wanted to get to know you for a long time..."
Zhang Chen quickly reached out his hand: "Mr. Yu, you are so polite. You just don't want to get to know me. I also want to get to know you. , Bona Pictures is an unavoidable presence in our film industry."
"Hahaha, Director Zhang is so polite..."
Yu Dong smiled and looked very kind.
Zhang Chen was also surprised. Among the CEOs of private film and television companies, Mr. Huayi Xiao Wang seemed more like a businessman.
For the rest, Guangguang Wang Changtian looks like an elegant scholar. The guy in front of him, Dong Geng, doesn’t look like a successful person at all, but more like the uncle next door.
Bona is one of the only three companies making money in the entertainment industry today, the others being Huayi and New Picture.
Huayi and New Picture are both tied to great directors to maintain profitability. One is tied to Feng Xiaogang, and the other is tied to Zhang Yimou.
What about Boehner? He is bound to the entire Hong Kong circle.
He was the first to think of binding Hong Kong. In early 2000, most of the distribution rights of Hong Kong films in the mainland were owned by Bona.
In order to build a good relationship with those Hong Kong filmmakers, Yu Dong even offered a guaranteed release condition before the film was completed.
That’s why Hong Kong movies are willing to be distributed by Bona. Bona is usually the first stop for Hong Kong filmmakers heading north.
Later, Enlight's trick of distributing Hong Kong movies was learned from Bona, but now he accidentally caught up with Zhang Chen and no longer walked on one leg.
Yu Dong came here this time, on the one hand, he was invited, and on the other hand, he inquired about the release of "Shark Beach". Star Entertainment approached China Film, Huayi and Guangguang to jointly distribute it, but Bona was left alone. This made Yu Dong come here. Bona was a little unhappy.
At this stage, in terms of distributing movies, Bona is the big brother, and Guangguang can only be regarded as the younger brother.
But now my younger brother eats meat, but my older brother can't even drink soup. How is this allowed?
However, he also learned that the reason why Light was able to enter the game was entirely because Zhang Chen remembered the friendship between the previous cooperation in "Dark Invasion".
This made Yu Dong even more determined to have a good relationship with Zhang Chen.
To be honest, in the past few years, he has been enjoying the profits from his monopoly on Hong Kong films.
But starting from this year, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Although Cheng Long still won the blockbuster "New Police Story", which he collaborated with Emperor, at the end of the year, Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" was picked up by Huayi.
This is a very bad signal.
He knows too well the greed of the people in Hong Kong.
It is rumored that he has a deep friendship with Hong Kong filmmakers. In fact, only he himself knows what kind of friendship there is.
The people in Hong Kong are very practical.
Setting out the conditions for guaranteed issuance by yourself is equivalent to taking all the risks on your own side. The Hong Kong team is guaranteed to make profits without losing money, so they are willing to cooperate with you.
But once "Kung Fu" explodes at the end of the year, and those greedy guys see that there is more room for profit, they will definitely fall into the arms of Huayi without hesitation.
At that time, Huayi will have two major resources: Feng Xiaogang and Hong Kong, but Bona will have its hands broken.
That's why Yu Dong took precautions and wanted to establish a good relationship with Xingchen Film and Television in advance.
After all, Star Film and Television has creative capabilities but no distribution capabilities, which is exactly complementary to Bona.
However, as soon as Yu Dongcai appeared, Wang Changtian also appeared.
"Director Zhang, I have been looking for you for a long time. It turns out that you are here and Jianqiang is also there."
Wang Changtian showed his familiarity with Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang as soon as he appeared. I am reminding Yu Dong not to think about pulling out the fire under the cauldron.
Enlight Pictures was just established this year and is still very weak.
Finally found a good partner, how could we let Bona poach them?
So when he saw Yu Dong approaching from a distance, Wang Changtian hurried over to protect the food.
"Hey, Mr. Yu is here too. I haven't congratulated you yet for "New Police Story"'s box office of 43 million in the Mainland..."
Wang Changtian pretended to have just seen Yu Dong's The look seemed a bit ridiculous to Zhang Chen, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was a director, and what he was best at was judging whether his acting skills were up to standard.
Wang Changtian's acting skills are very exaggerated, but Yu Dong on the side is quite talented in acting, and he behaves calmly even though he knows the truth.
"I heard that the distributor of "Beach" is China Film Control, jointly distributed with Huayi Brothers and Enlight?" Zhang Chen nodded: "Yes."
< br>Yu Dong laughed and didn't hide it: "It's a shame. It would be great if we Bona could also participate in it."
I have already watched the film "Shark Beach" and the quality is very good. good.
Not saying it will have a box office of over 100 million as Zhang Chen said, but it should be no problem if it reaches tens of millions.
When encountering Yu Dong like this, Zhang Chen didn’t know how to answer, but Dong Jianqiang next to him took over the conversation: "Mr. Yu, forget it this time, but we still have a chance to cooperate next time."< br>
Unexpectedly, Yu Dong immediately hit the snake and followed the stick: "Then we have agreed that "Dark Invasion 2" must be distributed by Bona."
"?"
Have you agreed? Who told you?
This Yu Dong looks honest and honest, but unexpectedly he is quite cunning.
The party lasted until one o'clock in the morning, and the reception was finally over.
This day made Zhang Chen so tired that his face almost froze with laughter. He had to smile when he saw everyone. After all, he was the master, so he had to behave appropriately, and he drank a lot of wine all night...
Now he just wants to find a room and fall asleep. Sister Jiuyi also extended an artistic invitation, and Zhang Chen also accepted it.
Even if you are an iron lady, you are not a desperate man.
Decisively refuse, then lock the door and go to sleep, and no one will open it.
He had a good sleep and slept until nine o'clock in the morning the next day. If he hadn't been woken up by the phone, he could still sleep.
The call was from Dong Jianqiang. Listening to the excitement in the other person's voice, Zhang Chen couldn't figure out who was the young man and who was the middle-aged man.
"I'm just calling to remind you that there is an interview in the afternoon, don't forget it~"
Zhang Chen couldn't fall asleep after hanging up the phone, so he simply browsed the relevant news online.
The official release of "Shark Beach" will be on the 19th, and the premiere will be held two days in advance to give him time to build a reputation.
Tickets for the premiere are hard to get, and the ordinary viewers attending the premiere will definitely not remain silent.
They will definitely show off to those who have no chance to attend the premiere, how good the movie is, how grand the premiere is, and all the stars I have met...
This is human nature.
These things will become the first word of mouth for "Shark Beach". Coupled with the publicity from reporters, it will quickly become a topic within two days and affect the box office on the first weekend.

…

China Film’s publicity strategy is really cruel.
They actually remembered the promotion method of giving away eggs. The staff immediately grabbed a passerby and asked him what movies would be released on November 19th?
If the answer is "Shark Beach", I will immediately give you a plastic box with 6 eggs.
All of a sudden, even those retired old men and women knew that there was going to be a monster movie called "Shark Tank" on the 19th. They had no choice but to fill their refrigerators with eggs. .
