Director, please respect yourself

When adults look at problems and people, they basically look at them dialectically, looking at both the pros and cons.

Just like Harvey Weinstein, many Chinese people believe that this man who loves Chinese movies very much has made an indelible contribution to the promotion of Chinese movies around the world.

His shadow is behind several Chinese-language films closest to Oscars, such as "Hero", "The Grandmaster" and "Farewell My Concubine".

Among them, "Hero" and "The Grandmaster" are the two Chinese-language films that Harvey has been most vocal about. The former was "recommended" by Quentin Tarantino, and the latter was "supported" by Martin Scorsese. Not only did they gain momentum from famous directors, but Harvey also participated in the North American edits of both films.

"Hero" is the first Chinese-language film to top the North American box office. The box office in the United States far exceeded that in China, reaching 53.71 million U.S. dollars. It is said that many American movie fans went to see it because of Quentin's name.

Others, led by director Feng Xiaogang, believe that Harvey Weinstein is an out-and-out liar.

Harvey Weinstein is used to dealing with people from his country. As soon as a Chinese film hit the international market, he announced that he would buy out the overseas distribution rights for US$8 million and pay a deposit of US$200,000. When other buyers withdrew, he told the film producer that he no longer wanted to buy the film, and he also gave up the $200,000 deposit. The film studio was forced to sell it to him at a low price of US$1 million...

Now, Harvey Weinstein has done this again and has raised the price to $15 million, but Han Shanye is no longer fooled.

"Mr. Harvey, I'm sorry, regarding the overseas distribution of the movie "The Witch", we have sold South Korea and Xiaoli. We sold the distribution rights in these two countries alone for 10 million US dollars. "

"Ah, is it true or false?" Harvey Weinstein on the phone obviously couldn't believe it. He even bypassed his translator and spoke English to Han Shanye.

"of course it's true!"

After being translated by the other party's translator, Han Shanye understood what Harvey Weinstein meant, and then said: "Mr. Harvey, because Director Yang Hao is busy filming the movie "The Wandering Earth", it is inconvenient to contact you, so please I'll tell you.

You can buy out the distribution rights of the movie "The Witch" in North America and the rights to adapt this movie, but we want a price of 20 million US dollars, and it won't be a penny less. "

"How can this be?!"

"Well, this is what Yang Hao asked me to tell you, and he also said that if you are not willing to take it, he will sell it to his partner Legendary Pictures.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Harvey, I'll hang up now, because I'm about to receive guests from Europe. "

…

At the same time that Han Shanye and Harvey Weinstein were duking it out on the phone, on the mainland's Internet, Lianxiang Group and Fei Ni Film Studio were already at loggerheads.

[NetEase Entertainment:

Three hours after the announcement was made by Luanxiang Group, a Fortune 500 domestic company, Fei Ni Shao Film Studio, the producer of the movie "The Witch", published an announcement on its official website and chose to confront Luanxiang Group.

If Luanxiang Group believes that the movie "The Witch" written and directed by Yang Hao, the founder of Must Be You Film Studio, is suspected of spreading rumors and slandering the company's computer products, then it should not choose to have the official ban the movie.

Instead, you should choose to directly help with publicity.

The more people who watch the movie "The Witch", the better, because the more people who watch this movie will have a worse impact on the computer products of Lianxiang Group, and Lianxiang Group will rely on these Come to our company to claim compensation for losses...]

[NetEase Entertainment:

An hour after Feiyanshi Film Studio issued an announcement on its official website, questioning Luanxiang Group's decision, Luanxiang Group issued another announcement in response.

First of all, let me make it clear that the announcements made by Must Be You Film Studio are all fallacies. Although our group company will receive higher compensation if we allow the movie to be released, I would like to ask You Must Have Film Studio, how much money do you have on your books? Is it enough to compensate us for our losses?

You know we are one of the world's top 500 companies...]

[NetEase Entertainment:

An hour after Luanxiang Group, a Fortune 500 company, ruthlessly ridiculed the Film Studio by issuing an announcement, the Film Studio finally had the latest response on its official website.

Lianxiang Group was established in 1984, and its current market capitalization is US$10.4 billion; You Can Not Film Studio was established in 2010. After one and a half years of development, someone is already planning to acquire us for RMB 5 billion.

At this rate of development, in another three to five years, who can guarantee that our company will not be able to afford to pay you money? Maybe after the lawsuit is over, it will be your company that pays us money...]

Sitting in the hotel room, staring at the entertainment news coming and going on the computer.

Hong Kong film director Chan Ka-shang was almost crying.

What, you don’t play with people like this? !

I made movies honestly and promoted them steadily. Just for the test screening, I took the leading actors of "The Four Famous Catchers" Deng Chao, Jiang Yiyan, Cheng Zhongji, Zhou Zhaolong and others to run 18 times in a row. City.

Nowadays, the popularity of the movie is slowly rising, and "Famous Man" will be released tomorrow.

But at this moment, a thunder struck from the sky. The movie "The Witch" filmed by Yang Hao in Hong Kong Island will be released tonight...

Oh my god.

I admit that the quality of my movie "Famous Catchers" is not bad. Even if it competes with "The Witch", it still has a slight upper hand, because among the actors in the movie "The Witch", only Huang Xiaoming is more famous.

However, Yang Hao is too capable of causing trouble.

Starting at 6:00 in the morning, it has not stopped all day long. Both online media and TV media are reporting on this matter at length. Should there be legislation in the country? In movies and TV dramas, certain products of a certain company cannot be criticized. Carry out targeted criticism, because if everyone is like "The Witch" and can criticize and slander a certain product unscrupulously, it will affect the national economy and people's livelihood.

Influence..., influence your sister!

If you continue to discuss it and it doesn’t affect the national economy and people’s livelihood, it has already affected me. Yesterday, “The Four Famous Catchers” was obviously still very popular. For example, Jiang Yiyan was the first love of director Yang Hao; for example, the new Oscar-winning actress Liu Yifei She once liked the role of Iron Hand very much and asked her mother to take the initiative to contact the crew, but the crew thought he was not suitable, so they refused.

However, these extremely hot topics disappeared without a trace early this morning.

"Eh..., something like that."

Chen Jiashang cursed fiercely, took out his mobile phone, and was about to call Jiang Yiyan to ask her if she had any old photos with Yang Hao, the kind that were particularly intimate and could be put on the Internet to arouse discussion among others.

At this time, the assistant's call came in.

"Director Chen, it's not good.

The major theater chains have once again reduced the film schedule of "The Four" for tomorrow, adjusting it from the original 37% to the current 20%, and the other 17% will be completely given to "The Witch". "

Damn...

At this moment, Chen Jiashang wanted to scold his mother.
