Golden Age 1990

Chapter 257 Sister Jing and "New Shanghai Beach" (4000 words)
"Fengzi, you are so awesome! How dare you say this!"

"Brother Wen, what's the matter? I really want 500 million more."

"what?"

"Isn't it because you're here? That's all they do. I have to give you face."

"Haha... Fengzi, I love what you say, although..."

"No matter what, what I said is true."

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes, I am actually absolutely sure that Zhang Weiping, a fellow countryman, will definitely agree."

"This...ah, haha...I understand!"

After eating the shabu-shabu with Er Zhang, Bai Feng and Jiang Wen found a stall and drank a little.

Of course, it's mainly for talking.

Bai Feng was so confident that he dared to offer 300 million yuan. It turned out that he had already grasped Zhang Weiping.

Jiang Wen was not stupid, so he naturally figured it out immediately.

That's it. How could Zhang Weiping have the nerve to say 'no' in front of Zhang Yimou?

Bai Feng actually didn't remember that clearly at first. After all, in his impression, Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou had known each other for several years, so there must have been some investment interactions before.

Therefore, Bai Feng actually did not know that "Speak Well" was Zhang Weiping's first film investment in Zhang Yimou.

And now that he knew it, he wasn't that surprised.

On the contrary, whether he knew this or not, Bai Feng had enough confidence, and this confidence came from this.

Now is the honeymoon period of cooperation between Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou. The big boss is his fellow countryman and will not refuse his offer.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the offer itself.

how?
Who am I, Bai Feng?

I used to market a movie for 100 million, and now I offer 300 million. Is there any problem with this?

That was three years ago. Three years have passed, and I have only gained 200 million.

You really haven’t achieved an increase of 100 million in a year, and you are already very conscientious, right?

Well, Bai Feng does have something.

Moreover, even if it is the same as before, how did the previous million-dollar marketing of "Farewell My Concubine" come about?

Yes, this million dollar marketing itself is a very good advertisement!

And this time...this is Zhang Yimou's movie!

It belonged to brother Chen Kai before!

What is the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai?

Old classmates, good friends... This is indeed the case, but is it really harmonious?

No, no.

In fact, who doesn’t know what’s going on with them?

That's basically a competition.

No one wants to lose to the other.

The same is naturally true for the field of marketing.

It's good now. Bai Feng basically gave Zhang Weiping a chance to perform.

Yes, you performed well this time, so your cooperation with Zhang Yimou will be infinitely closer.

I, Bai Feng, have done marketing for Brother Chen Kai's movie before. Can't you help Zhang Yimou and do marketing for me?

Then you are not interesting enough.

Don't underestimate these things, sometimes the so-called sophistication of people in the world is actually these things.

Bai Feng made full use of this.

Therefore, he was absolutely sure from the beginning.

To be honest, Bai Feng felt that he really helped himself by getting "Speak Well" this time.

Feng Xiaogang and Wang Pei, after the great success of "Party A and Party B", they naturally want to make a New Year's film.

However, this is a Lunar New Year movie, which refers to a movie released in December.

This December, Bai Feng will be handed over directly to Feng Xiaogang and Wang Wei.

But what about the Spring Festival later?
Yes, actually he still lacks films.

As for Ah Xing's situation, currently he has decided to come to the mainland for development.

But what about Ah Xing’s film?
Bai Feng knows himself better than Ah Xing.

After "The God of Cookery", Ah Xing's films actually entered a low ebb, and the overall feeling of those films was very average.

Although it has contributed some famous jokes, such as Brother Shui in the fortune-telling series, talking to a middle-aged woman and then ignoring the beautiful woman.

But in fact, the reputation of these films is really not very good, and the box office is not very good either.

Naturally, Bai Feng couldn't say it directly.

So, wouldn’t it be great if there was a good movie from our mainland to support the Spring Festival.

Zhang Yimou's "Speak Well" is definitely the best among the best, and Bai Feng had planned it from the beginning.

This also earned an additional 300 million yuan, which was definitely an unexpected gain.

Although Bai Feng is very arrogant now, saying he doesn't value 300 million is not bragging.

You can make some money, of course you can.

Moreover, this 300 million has many uses.

On the one hand, it is marketing expenses, which is regarded as advertising.

On the other hand, it actually improved Bai Feng's personal worth.

Now in our domestic advertising industry, which consultant is worth 300 million?

Not really.

Bai Feng is the only Scorpion daddy!
Oh, that's not a good metaphor, but I don't care about the details.

As for Jiang Wen himself...

"Fengzi, I really plan to make a good movie."

"Okay, I've said it before, I absolutely support it."

"But, this film is different."

"Okay, no problem."

"You didn't even ask me what movie it was?"

"Any movie will do."

"But what if I say, I plan to use black and white images for this film?"

"no problem!"

Good guy, really good guy!

By the end of Jiang Wen's speech, he was so moved.

This guy Fengzi is really good, he supports movies like this.

In fact, Bai Feng certainly knew what Jiang Wen wanted to shoot.

But no matter what happened to that movie in the end, whether it was banned or not, he planned to support it.

Because that movie is really good.

In fact, regarding that movie, "The Devil Is Coming" not being released, this is really not a problem with the movie itself.

But some other issues.

What Bai Feng knows is that some people will catch some details. For example, Jiang Wen always arranges some 'small details' that are easily missed by the censors.

Jiang Hongbo, the actor who plays Jiang Wen's wife in this movie, actually has a large-scale shot.

But this scene was very short, it appeared when I was getting up, and I got up suddenly, so I was exposed for a moment.

This is such a small lens that a reviewer would hardly notice.

However, this is indeed a point that can be removed from the shelves, just like "Shake, Shake".

There is a rather decent reason for its removal from the shelves, and that is that some scenes of this movie reveal too much.

Of course, this is a rumor, but you can use this rumor as a basis.

So, "The Devils Are Coming" was banned, maybe because of this scene of Jiang Hongbo.

But obviously, this scene is not enough to ban the movie.

The counter-example is obvious, "Sunny Day".

In this movie, well, at this point in time, because of Bai Feng's appearance, Milan was not ripped off by Ma Xiaojun.

But in the original time and space, Milan just completed this scene, that is, revealed... ahem...

In short, as far as this scene is concerned, it is definitely much more obvious than Jiang Hongbo in "The Devil Is Coming", especially the real gap between the two actresses.

Okay, let’s not compare this matter.

In other words, "The Devils Are Coming" should not be banned because of this issue of scale.So why is it banned?
In fact, this is really an unsolved mystery. Many people don't know it, and they don't even give a very clear explanation. What's more, even Jiang Wen himself doesn't know.

Jiang Wen himself said this later.

"The Devils Are Coming" was not released in the end, which naturally made Jiang Wen anxious and angry, and also generated a lot of rumors.

It’s normal, it’s a melon to eat, and this melon is not small.

In this way, there is a rumor that is very similar to that.

That is to say, the leaders above said that you, Jiang Wen, should not make movies for five years.

In fact, this is not a rumor, because after being banned, there are many examples like this.

There have been directors like this before, such as Director Zhang of "East Palace and West Palace".

Ever since, Jiang Wen also believed it.

That's it, he waited for 5 years.

Five years later, he wrote a book called "The Sun Also Rises."

Before the filming of this movie, he went to ask specifically about it, and the boss above told him.

No one prohibits you from filming.

Jiang Wen heard this... Do you know how I came here in the past five years?

Okay, this guy must be cowardly, and he definitely didn’t say that.

Therefore, on the whole, the reason why the movie "The Devil Is Coming" was banned must be very complicated.

In other words, it is difficult to find a clue.

So, now that Bai Feng has agreed to Jiang Wen, is there any way he can solve this matter?

Can Bai Feng allow "The Devil Is Coming" to be released normally in our mainland without changing the plot?
No, Bai Feng believed that he did not have such ability.

So why is he so supportive?

Is it just because of passion?

Is it just because the movie is good?

There are reasons for this, but not entirely.

Bai Feng thought of a more interesting way to play, that is, he planned to find a force to join the game.

This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, but for now, we can make a plan first, that is, didn't he take care of Teacher He Pinghe before?
Now is the time to take advantage of him.

After Bai Feng said goodbye to Jiang Wen, he called Teacher He and told him directly that he should go to Japan.

This is really strange, asking Teacher He to go to Japan?
Anyway, this is the beginning of Bai Feng's entire layout.

In short, Teacher He will go over first. After Bai Feng has finished his work in the Northeast, he will tell Teacher He what to do next.

Teacher He didn't know why, but now he could only listen to Bai Feng, so he could only go through the procedures to go to Japan.

The whole plan hasn't started yet, and I'm not in a hurry now.

Bai Feng went to the Northeast first.

Unexpectedly, I met Sister Jing in my hometown.

"Ouch! Why did you look like this when you saw me?"

"My sister, what's wrong with my expression?"

"Looks like he's seen a ghost."

"How is it possible? My sister Jing is so beautiful, I want to see her before it's too late."

"You just know how to talk!"

Bai Feng was really surprised by Sister Jing's sudden appearance. After all, he hadn't seen her for many days. It would be strange not to be surprised to see her suddenly in his hometown.

However, Sister Jing soon explained the reason.

When she came here this time, she actually came with the crew of "New Shanghai Beach".

After hearing this reason, Bai Feng's face looked a little uncertain.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing."

Sister Jing's appearance at the moment was that of a careless person.

Bai Feng couldn't say much.

This "New Shanghai Beach" was produced by Yongsheng and his colleagues, and now this movie is going to enter our mainland, which sounds normal.

However, he did not pass by Bai Feng.

Isn't this quite abnormal?

However, Bai Feng soon figured out the reason.

This "New Shanghai Beach" is indeed produced by Yongsheng, but it also has a part from our mainland, that is, Shanghai Film.

Therefore, the way to enter our mainland is to take the path of Shangying.

Even if you become the factory director, you can't interfere in this way.

Shanghai Film Studio is very special in our Chinese film circle. They have their own circle.

Because originally, the center of our Chinese film industry was the Magic City. During the war, many filmmakers from the Magic City fled to Hong Kong. Shaw Brothers and the others came there at that time.

Therefore, there is a special connection between Shanghai and Hong Kong film circles, and it is also for this reason that boss Wu Siyuan can organize talent exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Bai Feng can only actively cooperate now, and this matter is okay.

Moreover, the plot of "New Shanghai Beach" has been changed. Xu Wenqiang in this movie is a revolutionary.

There are many things right in this play.

Bai Feng actually wanted to scold him. It was obvious that this was changed by Long Wu and his brothers in order to cater to our mainland leaders.

Hong Kong filmmakers are really talented, just like many anti-Japanese dramas were made by them.

Regarding this movie, this is all that can be done. It is best for Bai Feng not to say anything.

It's not good to say it.

As for the box office... Well, in Bai Feng's memory, this film did not achieve very good results.

But these were nothing. Sister Jing's words made Bai Feng's expression change drastically.

"Now that we're here, how about... I go home with you?"

Come back home?

What home?

Bai Feng naturally thought of which family it was, but... could he agree to this?

The way Sister Jing looked at him, even though she knew he would be like this, she couldn't help but give him a blank look.

"You, that's it."

There was some anger in his tone, but it could be heard that he wasn't.

When Bai Feng saw Sister Jing like this, he felt inexplicably distressed.

He gritted his teeth immediately.

"I can take you to my house, but my parents have been urging me to find a partner. If they..."

Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Sister Jing was already happy. As soon as he mentioned the matter of finding a partner, Sister Jing couldn't help but ask, "What? Am I not good enough to be your girlfriend?"

Bai Feng could tell what she really meant, so he had no choice but to smile helplessly.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with just taking Sister Jing home to see her.

So, when we arrived at the Bai family...

"Ah? This girl..."

When Mama Bai saw that her son had brought back a beautiful woman, she was someone from the movie. She was shocked.

Just this moment.

"Auntie, don't get me wrong, I'm not Bai Feng's girlfriend... I'm not lucky enough to be his girlfriend."

What Sister Jing said was indeed what she meant, but it seemed that the meaning was not expressed so accurately.

What else could Bai Feng say?

He could only shake his head and smile even more helplessly.

That night, the Bai family prepared a table of delicious food.

The Bai family and his wife are very enthusiastic.

These are actually nothing.

But what’s really great is when it’s time to sleep…

"Sister Jing, you..."

"Anyway, aunt asked me to come here."

There is a great beauty in Bai Feng's room, Sister Jing with a suppressed smile on her face.

It's really cute...

　Let’s see what happens when the so-called Little Dong King of Argentina goes to court today. To be honest, some things are really sad.
