Su Yi was not surprised.
He knows that Wang Zhongjun is now considered a businessman, and he has to bear risks in many things.
And the relationship between the two is not very good. When they were filming the soldier assault, I wanted to use their contracted actor Wang Baoqiang, but he was even rejected.
It’s because of Chen Kaige.
To be honest, this is a small matter.
Su Yi himself didn't hold much grudge, after all, Wang Jinhua had settled the matter later.
But it turned out to be unlucky, as Su Yi's movies bumped into schedules with theirs time and time again.
I almost lost all my money.
This was not a big hatred at first, but now it has turned into a deep hatred.
For a businessman, asking him to lose money is more fatal than asking him to get anything.
But if there are benefits to be gained, all hatred can be turned into 'friendship'.
I went around such a big circle just to cooperate with myself.
The one who was hesitating just now must have happened.
The people here are basically human beings.
When I saw Wang Zhongjun’s appearance, I knew something had changed.
The investment is almost in place, could it be a matter of the script?
Lin Jianyue was moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything and just stood still.
"Su Yi, there is a bad situation. The script of the Cold War series has been killed!"
Han Sanping's voice sounded.
Su Yi frowned slightly and nodded expressionlessly.
The phone call wasn't too loud, but the scene had become quiet before the call was answered.
So everyone can hear it clearly.
"Su Yi, why don't you change it? It's very difficult for this script to pass the review. Lu Chuan's Jiangling Jiangling has passed the review, but the influence of this series is too great, and Director He did not sign it. ”
Han Sanping was a little apologetic, but there was nothing we could do about it. The newly established National Film Bureau needed the signature of the leader as a guarantee.
Director He did not sign in the end.
Because this Chill series reflects too many things.
After working hard for several days, Han Sanping was finally scolded.
He really had no choice, so he brought the news to Su Yi.
Su Yi didn't say much and hung up the phone gently.
The scene was still quiet, but everyone's expressions changed.
Feng Xiaogang wanted to say something, but when Wang Zhongjun didn't speak, he also fell silent.
But the scene is still very embarrassing.
It was obviously a good start, but why did it end up like this!
However, the script has not been reviewed and cannot be broadcast in mainland China.
With the number of moviegoers in Xiangjiang, there is no way it will become a big hit.
When the time comes, investing so much money will definitely be in vain.
Wang Zhongjun is not a fool, so naturally he will not invest again.
"Director Su's review in Mainland China is indeed stricter. We can change it to another one!"
Wang Zhongjun thought for a long time and finally comforted him.
This time the script was reviewed and deleted, and so will the future.
Fortunately, the news was timely, otherwise they would have been at a loss.
No wonder I agreed to cooperate so happily this time.
It turned out that they were waiting for them here
Du Qifeng on the side looked at it for a long time and finally spoke.
“Director Su, in fact, many excellent works have been reviewed and rejected in this way.”
This time is Du Qifeng’s ultimate goal. He is different from Huang G’s mindless smear campaign.
He is somewhat similar to Wu Siyuan, who wants to revitalize Hong Kong movies.
But we went in the wrong direction.
As for Director Xiao Du and Huang G, they just barked to gain attention, and it was also because they were dissatisfied for a long time.
"Director Du, whether movies can rise has nothing to do with mainland China's censorship. Moreover, Chairman Lin Jianyue has also entered mainland China to shoot many movies before, but not every movie can have a high box office. ”
Su Yi is tit for tat. This is a matter of principle and cannot be changed in any way.
Du Qifeng can face it calmly when facing Director Su or Director Su.
But with the world's number one box office director, he couldn't refute it.
But it was obvious that Du Qifeng was not convinced at all.
Your own movie script has been reviewed, how can you end it when you see it!
During the previous press conference, Han Zhan's name had already spread throughout Hong Kong and even the world!
If there is no way to film, then the news will be suppressed. But in Hong Kong, there is no way to suppress this kind of thing.
This is not something Xiang Huaqiang’s media can control.
After all, this kind of big news is not so easy to deal with as the paparazzi.
Du Qifeng coughed and said nothing more.
"Director Su, I've seen your talent. But I'm even more looking forward to the release of Han Zhan. I hope it will be nationwide and use you to play a plot in the founding of the country. If your movie can achieve good box office this time, I, Du Qi, Feng is willing to support you and be your executive director!"
There was some dissatisfaction in his tone, as if it was also because of Su Yi's stubbornness.
The meaning behind these words is very simple. The decline of Xiangjiang Movies is due to mainland censorship. It’s useless for you, Su Yi, to come!
However, he was also angry at Su Yi's persistence, and even thought that Su Yi was a brainwashed person.
"Director Du! Director Du!"
Saying this, Du Qifeng left without saying hello to everyone.
Lin Jianyue shouted several times from behind, but Du Qifeng did not look back.
Although Media Asia is very big, Du Qifeng only cooperates with them and has no superior-subordinate relationship.
"Director Su, let's change the script. I think this script is very difficult."
Feng Xiaogang finally spoke.
"Han Zhan. It can only be a cold war. It cannot be changed!"
These words were really domineering. Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, but then nodded with a wry smile.
If he were an ordinary young man, he would scold him.
But this was Su Yi. He smiled awkwardly and didn't say much.
"In that case, let's go back and contact Chairman Han now, and maybe we can ask him to apply again!"
Wang Zhongjun nodded. He backed down and could not continue to waste time with Su Yi.
Su Yi has directed many high-grossing movies, but domestic movies were made because of the general trend, such as Parasite to combat the Korean Wave, and movies such as Changjin Lake because of the foreshadowing of Natu.
The Dark Knight is because of the heritage of DC Comics, owned by Warner Bros.
Although Su Yi is capable, he cannot go against the will of the country - at least this is what Wang Zhongjun thinks.
Su Yi nodded lightly and didn't say much.
For people who are destined not to be friends, nodding acquaintance is superfluous.
If it weren’t for his identity as director, he wouldn’t even bother to talk to them.
"Chairman Lin, I'll leave first." Su Yi saw Wang Zhongjun and others leaving, and he was also ready to leave.
What happened this time was unexpected, but it was nothing.
"Wait a minute, Director Su! Haven't we discussed our cooperation yet?"
Lin Jianyue suddenly walked over, with worry on his face.
"Chairman Lin, this script has been reviewed. According to my prediction, the box office will be reduced by 20%!"
Su Yi looked at Lin Jianyue in surprise.
Want to cooperate?
"Chairman Lin, you can't invest less money."
"It doesn't matter. I, Lin, like to cooperate with strong people, because they can always create miracles! Director Su is a top person in this industry, For a film company like mine, it doesn’t matter if it loses the box office if it can cooperate with Director Su.”
Lin Jianyue’s eyes were filled with sincerity.
He has valued the mainland market since 2000.
Although Su Yi was considered his 'enemy' at the box office of his movies at that time.
But Lin Jianyue showed no hostility at all, and even looked forward to cooperation.
"Chairman Lin is a courageous man, investing 100 million is not a small amount."
If the six film investment companies fail to pass the mainland review, China Film and Shanghai Film will definitely withdraw their investment. .
Now Huayi has also withdrawn.
It is estimated that only Red Star House and Wanda Pictures can continue to support it.
But this Red Star House was established by Liu Yifei's mother, basically to serve Liu Yifei. Since Su Yi and Liu Shishi got together, Liu's mother seemed to sigh a lot and gradually began to delegate power to her daughter.
Needless to say, Wanda Pictures’ current nominal chairman and general manager is Liu Yifei.
This pair of Su Yi obeyed even more.
“Don’t invest 100 million. Didn’t Huayi Brothers withdraw? We invested 200 million. That’s all our working capital.”
Chairman Lin’s eyes were very sincere. , this is not nonsense, but true.
Although he has a net worth of tens of billions, he also has a lot of businesses. If the capital chain is broken, it is easy to go bankrupt.
Being able to spend 200 million to make a movie, regardless of winning or losing, is already a great support.
Su Yi was very surprised. He really didn't expect the other party to have such an attitude.
"Director Su Yi, actually I wanted to cooperate with you before. But at that time your phone call could not be reached, so I used all my connections. I heard that you were in Beijing, so I used Director Zhou Xingchi I contacted Director Feng Xiaogang, but I didn’t investigate further. I didn’t expect that you were enemies at the time.”
Lin Jianyue’s voice was bitter.
It was 2007, the year when Su Yi broke out. Not to mention Lin Jianyue, who wanted to find Su Yi, all the movie tycoons around the world wanted to cooperate with Su Yi.
Because no one can live with money.
Mr. Cai of the Tang Dynasty even used the beauty trap.
Later, we didn’t cooperate either.
Lin Jianyue is really unlucky and has no way out.
Later, I even found Mr. Chen of Jiaduobao Group.
Mr. Chen’s headquarters is also in Xiangjiang, and the two of them still have some friendship.
Mr. Chen originally agreed to introduce Lin Jianyue.
However, Su Yi was very busy later. After the CCTV live broadcast of the "Old Liu" incident, he was first put in cold storage and unable to film the movie.
Later I went abroad again, but I kept missing opportunities for cooperation.
Now that he finally has the opportunity to cooperate, Lin Jianyue will still cooperate even if he loses money!
"We can't say they are enemies, it's just that the movies happened to be released together."
After Su Yi heard these words, he smiled helplessly, but he still felt a little better in his heart.
“You don’t know, every time I hear that Director Su has done something earth-shattering, I get nervous, for fear that I won’t be able to cooperate with you. For the Wenzhou incident, I donated 200,000 yuan. It was originally going to be given directly to the school, but they couldn't accept it and I donated it to the Cross Society."
Lin Jianyue didn't say much, but just stopped.
Su Yi knew about this matter, and he also covered it during the filming of the documentary.
But what I didn’t expect was that it was such a coincidence.
Lin Jianyue seemed to be talking about the past, but at the same time he also hinted that what Su Yi did was very 'thrilling'.
Especially the movie "Earthshaking·Speed Rescue", it actually became a 'trailer' after filming.
Lin Jianyue's family background is very good, but he has many brothers and sisters, so he is not much better than Xiang Huaqiang.
But he still has his own abilities to control the Media Asia Group.
He admires the strong, especially the top ones.
“If you have a good meal, you are not afraid of being late. Chairman Lin sincerely wants to cooperate... I will not let you down. This visit is also to 'activate' the movie box office in Xiangjiang and to make movies in Xiangjiang and even the world Take a look at the industry. Mainland China has never over-censored and has always been tolerant of Xiangjiang’s films!”
Su Yi’s tone was firm.
Lin Jianyue was a little surprised. Wasn't the script rejected by the mainland?
And he also personally admitted that it would reduce the box office by 20%.
Looking at it this way, it seems that there is no way to release it in mainland China.
Could it be an international movie? No, if the directors opposite were Wang Jiawei, Wang Jing, and Du Qifeng, he thought it would still be possible.
But Su Yi represents the system and has expressed his position in front of the media. Is it possible that the script was found to be fake when it was reviewed?
If this is really the case, then the Huayi brothers will never want to cooperate with Su Yi in this life.
Lin Jianyue was thinking wildly, but he couldn't ask more questions.
·····
Starlight Pictures.
Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhongjun were having a chat with the general manager of Starlight Pictures.
This time when the two came to Xiangjiang, they did not achieve their original wish and felt a little disappointed because they missed the movie Jianyu at the beginning.
To be honest, they are still too greedy.
Because there is an inside message that Su Yi’s focus is not on martial arts movies, but martial arts movies are just for Wu Siyuan’s request, which makes them not interested at all.
Wang Zhongjun and others thought that the best commercial film should be Su Yi's second film, but they did not expect that such a thing would happen.
So we found Starlight Pictures to cooperate.
In the past few years, the mainland market opened up by Su Yi has also attracted considerable attention from the Hong Kong film industry.
Many film companies tried their best to reach cooperation after Su Yi arrived, but Su Yi only had those famous companies in his eyes.
Starlight Pictures is actually a very powerful company. After Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhongjun left Media Asia Pictures, they quickly found Starlight and wanted to make a movie together.
Because Starlight Pictures has a movie script on hand.
“We are going to invite some stars for this movie, including Zhao Wenzuo, Jay Chou and many other stars, and the action director is also Yuan Heping.”
Boss of Starlight Pictures Feng Xiaogang introduced the project at hand in detail, which made the two of them want to cooperate.
Because they know that Su Yi's previous filming of Sword Rain is the best preparation for them. Taking advantage of the popularity of martial arts movies again, they naturally want to make a lot of money. During this period, this movie has a very high box office both in Hong Kong and around the world.
“With our franchise, we can invite more stars! Stars such as Andy Lau and Tony Leung Ka Fai have a very high reputation both in mainland China and in Hong Kong.”
After Wang Zhongjun looked at the list of actors, he was still a little dissatisfied.
Although they are all relatively famous people, there are not many who are very popular.
Jay Chou is okay, but he still crosses over. The few movies he shot before were considered blockbusters.
"You don't know something. During this period, these celebrities have gone to Su Yi's crew to audition, and they have not been scheduled for more than half a year."
After hearing this, Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang were surprised. Take a look.
Su Yi’s new movie?
Hasn’t it already been reviewed?
Is this guy really determined to give up the mainland market?
"Don't you know? The new movie is Han Zhan, which was announced at the press conference. I heard that as soon as the movie was approved, it attracted countless actors to audition!" (End of Chapter)
