Director, please respect yourself

[NetEase Entertainment:

At 6 o'clock on July 8, Luanxiang Group issued an announcement requesting the competent authorities to completely ban the movie "The Witch" which was released nationwide at 19 o'clock today.

Luanxiang Group stated in the announcement that the reason for this is that after investigation, the movie "The Witch" contains pictures and words that completely slander Luanxiang Computer, and the consequences of the pictures and words are very serious...]

After being prompted by his assistant, Han Shanye immediately saw the news posted on NetEase Entertainment. Following NetEase Entertainment's release, Sina Entertainment, Sohu Entertainment, and Tencent Entertainment also released the news on their own websites.

Compared with NetEase Entertainment, Sohu Entertainment received more detailed information. Lianxiang Group not only issued an announcement to apply to the film authorities for a ban on the screening of "The Witch", but also prepared to file a lawsuit in court to file a lawsuit against the 84th Oscars. The winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture, Yang Hao, as the screenwriter and director of the movie "The Witch", went so far as to unscrupulously slander and misinterpret the computer products of Luanxiang Group in his literary and artistic works. It is really unworthy of a world-class person. The demeanor of a top film director.

After several domestic portals disclosed the news, several world-class news media also quickly reprinted it, such as CNN, Fox TV, and Yahoo News...

Headlines from these world-class news outlets include:

[For the first time in history, a Fortune 500 company actually applied to a country’s film authorities to ban a movie! 】

[Chinese film director Yang Hao, who made wild remarks at the Academy Awards ceremony, had a bad start. His first film after winning the Best Picture Award was faced with the dilemma of not being released. 】

[Finally, Chinese companies are beginning to learn from the United States. In the United States, companies with huge influence, such as Apple, McDonald's, KFC, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Microsoft, etc., all have dedicated corporate public relations departments. .

The main function of its public relations department is to deal with Hollywood and does not allow Hollywood films to contain content that is detrimental to the company's product image.

There are currently no relevant cases of this kind of behavior in China, including Fortune 500 companies like Lianxiang Group. 】

After learning about the relevant report on the Internet, Han Shanye dialed Yanagi Funji's phone number as soon as possible.

"Mr. Liu, I, Lao Han from China Film Group..."

Before Han Shanye, who announced his home address, had finished speaking, an angry voice came from the receiver of his mobile phone.

"Old Han, I think back then, when we were filming the martial arts movie "Xiu Chun Dao", you also called me big brother. I felt very happy after hearing that.

But now, damn it, I feel like I've been tricked by you, why do you say that?

Because you, Han Shanye, as the distributor of the movie "The Witch", have obviously watched the movie and seen the content in the movie that affects the reputation of Lianxiang Group's computer products, but why didn't you tell me!

Fortunately, last night, a person who claimed to be an employee of the film authorities secretly recorded certain clips during the film review and sent them directly to our company.

Otherwise, if the movie causes very bad effects after it is released, who will bear the consequences..."

Yanagi Funatomo on the phone became more and more excited, and by the end, he even started to roar.

To be honest, Han Shanye watched the movie "The Witch" directed by Yang Hao from beginning to end, and during the film review, he even watched it three times in a row with people from the film management department.

The reason for this is just to hear everyone's praise for this movie. Although this movie was co-written by Yang Hao and his girl Han Jiani, and the overall structure and plot of the story were also provided by Yang Hao, but, it is The first work in the life of our girl Han Jiani has a very important commemorative significance.

There is indeed some content about Lianxiang Group in the movie, and most of it appears in the form of complaints.

For example, the heroine Zi Yun played by Yang Caiyu accompanied her best friend to buy a computer. The best friend said she wanted to buy a Lenovo computer, but Zi Yun directly complained, why buy a Lean Xiang computer? The configuration is backward and the price is expensive. That is to say, it uses the banner of domestic production and participates in some government procurement, but in fact, this company just makes its own shell.

What’s even more ridiculous is that this company actually applied for hundreds of patents for computer casings…

Han Shanye initially disagreed with this kind of complaint, because it was the same as going out to buy clothes. His wife said the clothes were fat, while he said the clothes were thin. Everyone had their own opinions.

But unexpectedly, Lianxiang Group actually stepped up and went online, insisting on fighting the film's producers and distributors no matter what.

If I don’t let you show it, I won’t let you show it.

Yanagi Funatoto is okay and has plenty of physical strength.

After cursing on the phone for 25 minutes, he hung up the phone angrily. Looking at his mobile phone, Han Shanye pondered for a while and then prepared to call Yang Hao, who was filming the movie "The Wandering Earth" in Hengdian Film and Television City, to ask. He, is this your new movie marketing plan?

Isn't it too eccentric? !

You know, if the film authorities really banned the movie "The Witch" out of consideration for Lianxiang Group, you wouldn't even be able to cry.

But just when Han Shanye thought of this, a call came in.

"Hello, Mr. Han.

I am Jin Lin, the general manager of South Korea's CJ Entertainment Company who lives in China. Some time ago, I accepted an invitation from China Film Group and went to your company to watch the movie "The Witch" directed by Yang Hao. I am now officially reporting to You indicate our company's attitude and we are willing to buy out the distribution rights of the film in South Korea for US$5 million. "

5 million U.S. dollars, which is 31.5 million RMB according to the current exchange rate, which is a little higher than the 4.5 million U.S. dollars that he and Yang Hao had agreed upon.

After thinking for a while, Han Shanye directly agreed to the other party's request and quickly went to China Film Group to sign the contract.

As soon as Jin Lin hung up the phone, another call came in from Han Shanye's cell phone.

"Hello, Mr. Han!

I am Yoshiko Mita, director of the Beijing office of Toho Corporation. At your invitation a few days ago, I watched the movie "The Witch" directed by Yang Hao in the internal screening hall of China Film Group.

At that time, I expressed a strong interest in this movie.

And now we officially inform you that we, Toho Co., Ltd., have decided to buy out the distribution rights of this movie in Little Days at a price of 5.5 million US dollars. "

Damn it..., okay.

When Han Shanye received the second call, he began to feel a little happy.

Yang Hao is a grandson, so what does this mean? Is this considered flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall?

Just as I was thinking about it, the third call came again.

"Mr. Han, thank you, haha, I didn't expect it to be me.

Yes, I am your old friend Harvey Weinstein. We had a great chat in the viewing room of China Film Group a few days ago.

Now, I solemnly tell you my old friend, I am willing to pay 15 million US dollars to buy out the worldwide distribution rights of the movie "The Witch", as well as the remake rights of this movie in the North American market..."
