Huayu since 1980

Chapter 413 Wanwan's Ban

Hong Kong, Central!
The former Kangle Building has been renamed Yaoguang Building!

The headquarters of Yaoguang Group has been relocated here, and at the same time, the major companies under Yaoguang Group are moving their headquarters in Xiangjiang here, including Jinxiu Garment, Tunan Technology, Taiwei Electric, Hanshui Beverage, Yuzhi Investment, Fengge Entertainment, Fengge Cinemas, etc. are all planning to move their headquarters here.

Yaoguang Building is 52 stories high, providing offices and shopping malls of more than 69 square feet. It used to be the tallest floor in Xiangjiang.

Sitting here in the office can look down on the entire Victoria Harbour!
Although the overall move has not yet been completed, everyone Jiang Zhiqiang has already started working here. Sitting in the office on the 49th floor, looking at the Victoria Harbor outside the window, Jiang Zhiqiang felt a sense of pride in his heart.

In just over a year, Jiang Zhiqiang has become one of the most influential bosses in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry. He can exist on an equal footing with Zou Wenhuai and Sir Shao. This makes Jiang Zhiqiang occasionally dream about midnight. They are all dreaming.

But soon Jiang Zhiqiang's beautiful mood was destroyed.

"You said that Wanwan has officially issued an order to prohibit Fengge Entertainment's films from entering the Wanwan market?" Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Gong Jiapei with a stern expression.

Gong Jiapei, 37 years old, is the manager of the distribution department of Fengge Entertainment. He is Jiang Zhiqiang's confidant who has been promoted over the past year.

Gong Jiapei's expression at this time was also very dignified: "Yes, the news I just received, although there is no official announcement from Wanwan, the major theaters have already received the news."

Snapped!
Jiang Zhiqiang slammed the document in his hand on the table, "These years, our money has been given away for nothing, do you know why?"

Because of Fengge Entertainment's special background, in recent years, Fengge Entertainment has spent part of the public relations fee every year in order to let its movies be released in Wanwan, but now Wanwan suddenly ordered Fengge to be banned. Entertaining movie releases.

If this matter is not handled properly, Feng Ge Entertainment's movie business will suffer a major loss.

"Wanwan is an announcement in the name of the Freedom Association." Gong Jiapei said.

"What age is it now, and you still use the 'Freedom Association' to manipulate us?" Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help but raised his head with anger on his face.

The full name of the Freedom Association is "Hong Kong and Kowloon Film Practitioners Freedom Association". It was because of the emergence of this association that the left-wing filmmakers and right-wing filmmakers were officially divided.

At that time, the Wanwan News Bureau stipulated that films made by non-members of the Freedom Association were not allowed to enter the Wanwan market.

Not to mention, a few years ago, director Xu Anhua was investigated by the Wanwan News Bureau when he filmed "Running into the Wrath" in Qiongdao, his motherland.This drama was banned in Wanwan, and it was not unblocked until 2008... One more thing, this drama was also banned in the mainland.At that time, both Lin Xiaohuzi and Mussett were able to pass the test by publishing a "statement of repentance" in the "Xiangjiang Times".

On the contrary, Liu Dehua, who was worried about being implicated, was not affected at all because he was not well-known at the time.
So, if Rebirth is shooting a movie in Xiangjiang, the time is wrong, or if the strength is not enough, it has a connection with China, which is basically courting death!

Liang Jiahui's "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Changing the Curtain to Listen to the Government" were "banned". Of course, the Wanwan authorities could not clearly explain that the reason they sought was that Liang Jiahui was on the blacklist of the "Freedom Federation"...so it is normal that they cannot enter the Wanwan market up.Even though he took off his pants and farted, the extra effort would make his pants unpackable...

In 1983 and 1984, the Bureau of Information made heavy blows, and new wave directors such as Fang Yuping, Yan Hao, and Weng Weiquan were all frozen in their films.

Not to mention other things, in 1986, "Happy Ghost Crashes Ghost" was originally planned to be screened in the leftist theater "Puhua Cinema", but under pressure from the Wanwan Information Bureau, it had to throw 120 million Hong Kong dollars to withdraw the film...

"The Liberty Association is now in name only, so naturally there will be no intervention. However, news of this matter has come from Wanwan, so it must not be aimless..." Gong Jiapei's face was full of sorrow.

The Wanwan market is extremely important to any Hong Kong island film company based on the development of the main market.

Gong Jiapei, as the distribution manager, can imagine the pressure!

"Since the other party reported it in private, it also shows that the problem may not be based on principle." Jiang Zhiqiang calmed down after his anger passed.

"It makes sense. Unlike Director Song who was domineering back then, Director Shao is more tactful now..."

Jiang Zhiqiang let out a long breath, "I'm afraid that this matter will be used by others."

Gong Jiapei fell silent.

"It seems that Mr. Jiang still needs to go to Wanwan." Gong Jiapei finally said.

"That's exactly what I mean."

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, "This matter is not suitable for publicity, but I still need to communicate with Director Wu. This kind of incident in Wanwan must have something to do with Director Wu."

"Could it be a Wanwan film producer?" Gong Jiapei asked suddenly.

"You mean..." Jiang Zhiqiang was taken aback, then frowned, picked up the document with his fingers, and looked at it.

"That's it."

Gong Jiapei explained: "In 1981, New Art City, which was only established for one year at that time, announced the establishment of a branch in Wanwan, and the person in charge at that time was Mr. Yu who became the person in charge of the branch."

"Director Yu Kanping?" Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at Gong Jiapei.

"That's right, it's director Yu Kanping."

Director Yu Kanping is the director of "Hitch the Wrong Car".

"From the second year, New Art City began to make efforts in the Wanwan market. In fact, there is something hidden here. New Art City was able to expand its business in Wanwan thanks to Wang Yingxiang, the boss of Longxiang Films, who is in the Wanwan market. Big guy inside.

The so-called branch of Xinyi City in Wanwan is actually registered in the name of Boss Wang's Yatai Films Company... This kind of peer-to-peer investment and joint distribution have contributed to the establishment of the Golden Princess on Hong Kong Island. Lisheng Cinema Line, Chinese theaters in the Bay Area and Cathay Theaters in Southeast Asia have joined forces to form a distribution network..."

Since Gong Jiapei became the manager of the distribution department of Fengge Entertainment, he has carefully studied the materials of the major film companies in Xiangjiang. , Debao and Longtai signed a distribution agency for Wanwan, and Wang Yingxiang is behind Longtai!"

Jiang Zhiqiang was stunned.

"I need to have a good discussion with Director Wu about this matter. This time, it's obviously the work of Wanwan's film studios!"

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang had already discovered the problem.

With the development of Fengge Entertainment, the hotter the better, and at the same time Xiangjiang's film business has officially entered its peak period, Wanwan's eight major film studios, including China Film, Scholars, Times, Longxiang, Xiongwei, and Judeng, have long expressed interest in Xiangjiang's film industry. The film production company is eyeing up, and Fengge Entertainment, which is second to none in Xiangjiang, is naturally their primary goal.

However, Fengge Entertainment is different from Golden Harvest and New Art City. Fengge Entertainment itself has sufficient funds and does not need to introduce external funds at all. Therefore, the eight major filmmakers have approached Jiang Zhiqiang several times to participate in Fengge Entertainment's film investment. , were all rejected by Jiang Zhiqiang.

This time the other party was obviously prepared.

He wanted to use the Wanwan market to force Fengge Entertainment to submit.

If this deadlock is to be broken, then Wanwan filmmakers need to join in the investment of the film. For such a big event, Jiang Zhiqiang must talk to Wu Jianye.

Soon the Wanwan market's incident against Fengge Entertainment spread throughout Xiangjiang. For a while, many film companies were watching how Fengge Entertainment was going to deal with this crisis.

You must know that the annual income of Fengge Entertainment in the Wanwan market in the past few years is in the unit of [-] million yuan. If the Wanwan market really blocks Fengge Entertainment, then these film companies should also consider their own follow-up planned.

Is it possible to get a piece of it?
But the most unlucky one was Jiahe, because Jiahe lent Zhang Manyu to Wu Jianye to film "New Dragon Inn".

If Wanwan doesn't care about it, it doesn't matter at all, because Zhang Manyu hasn't really become popular yet, and Wanwan won't be serious with a young actor.

Just like Liu Dehua who filmed "Running into the Wrath".

But it's different now, Wanwan is obviously targeting Fengge Entertainment, so Zhang Manyu won't be let go.

Therefore, a document has been sent to Golden Harvest, and Wanwan will reject movies starring Zhang Manyu from entering the Wanwan market.

"What should we do now?" Sitting opposite Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang said with some concern.

Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment, and asked, "Has A-Long sent back news from North America?"

Just two days ago, Phantom Entertainment formally extended an invitation to Golden Harvest, inviting Cheng Long, the ace of Golden Harvest, to go to North America to star in an action movie.

Speaking of Cheng Long, He Guanchang showed a smile: "Aaron has already called back, he likes the script of that movie very much, and there is also news from Phantom Entertainment that he completely followed Aaron's opinion during the filming! "

Zou Wenhuai nodded, and said, "Okay, please reply to Wanwan and tell us that we know about it, and we won't use Zhang Manyu to act in our Golden Harvest movie in the future!"

Obviously Zou Wenhuai is ready to give up Zhang Manyu. For Zou Wenhuai at this time, the most important thing is Cheng Long's new film plan in Hollywood. As long as Cheng Long can make a name for himself in North America this time, for Golden Harvest It was a strategic success.

So sacrificing a Zhang Manyu is too worthwhile for Jiahe.

He Guanchang said with some regret: "It's a pity, Zhang Manyu is an actress, but she is actually a very spiritual actress. If she trains carefully, she may become a good actress in the future!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled, comforted his old partner, and said with a smile, "Is Xiangjiang short of actresses?"

He Guanchang laughed at himself: "That's true."

Inside the Dragon Inn!
What is currently being filmed is the scene of Jin Xiangyu's first appearance. This scene has been filmed for a day, but it has not met Wu Jianye's requirements.

And the problem happened to Zhang Manyu who Wu Jianye thought should not have a problem.

At this time, Zhang Manyu has been unable to enter the role of Jin Xiangyu. The feeling of the performance is the same as Yuan A4's exaggerated performance in "Pancake Man", which makes people watch it very well.
But at this time, Wu Jianye already knew the reason, that is, when Tsui Hark filmed "New Dragon Inn", Zhang Manyu's acting skills had already passed "Carmen in Mong Kok", "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off Socks", "Days of Being Wild" ", "Ruan Lingyu" and other classic movies have been tuned out.

So later Zhang Manyu played the role of Jin Xiangyu, and she seemed to be able to handle it with ease, but now, Zhang Manyu is still serious about making her own vase.

Therefore, the role of Jin Xiangyu is naturally incomprehensible.

"Crack!"

Wu Jianye stopped the performance again, his face was as dark as a scapegoat, and everyone in the crew knew that Wu Jianye was very unhappy now.

Especially Zhang Manyu, who made a mistake, was even more aggrieved in her heart. She felt that she had clearly performed the feeling of gold inlaid with jade, so why did she not do it.

"Ayu, your role is a charming boss lady. Let's see what you are playing now? A well-behaved boss lady with justice in her heart?"

There was a trace of grievance on Zhang Manyu's face, and his eyes were slightly red, obviously aggrieved by Wu Jianye's reprimand.

"Okay, everyone, let's take a break, Ayu, think about your own role carefully, and forget all the worries in your heart!"

What is Zhang Manyu's concern?
Naturally, it's an image problem. The charming proprietress, if such a role is broadcast, what should I do if I am misunderstood in Xiangjiang.

The crew fell into silence at this time. No one wanted to touch Wu Jianye's bad luck at this time. Everyone knew it for a day, and not even a single scene passed. Wu Jianye must be full of anger at this time. Come on, who has an accident.

Didn't you see that Zhang Manyu, who is as beautiful as a flower, was scolded by Wu Jianye to the point of tears?

Zhang Manyu, who was sitting there alone, regretted accepting the film infinitely in her heart. Not only did she have to worry about the reaction from Wanwan, but she also had to face Wu Jianye, the studio tyrant. How many times have she been scolded every day today? ?
Didn't Wu Jianye feel so annoying before the filming started?
"Don't think too much, let's think about this role carefully!" After all, Liang Jiahui walked over to comfort Zhang Manyu.

"Brother Hui." Zhang Manyu looked at Liang Jiahui with red eyes.

Liang Jiahui smiled consolingly: "I have read the script, and I know what you are worried about, but now that you have accepted this drama, don't think about other things. Those external factors will not affect your performance. Any help, and even more trouble."

Zhang Manyu nodded and said, "I see."

"But, I really don't know how to play Jin Xiangyu?"

Liang Jiahui shook his head: "How could it be? I saw your performance during the rehearsal before. At that time, you acted very well. Just bring out the state of mind at that time. I have read the script. Do you want me to act?" Let me analyze it for you."

"Thank you Brother Hui!"

Seeing Liang Jiahui comforting Zhang Manyu, Wu Jianye didn't say anything, but soon Dai Zhen ran over.

"Brother, there is a call from Xiangjiang!"
