Chapter 237 The Essence of the Three Major Film Festivals (13)

The fact is, white people like Harvey have no morals at all.

Lie, steal, cheat.
Not only do I feel no burden, I even feel proud of it.

If Shen Santong hadn't pointed out the routine, Wang Zhongjun would have had to reflect on himself.

The thought that he had been trying to distance himself from "The Promise" but still failed to sell the copyright and media opinion made him continue to reflect on himself.

Wang Zhongjun was furious. It was such a disgrace to others, so shameless and so despicable!

He said coldly: "We complained publicly. Shen Santong is right. If we don't make a fuss, there will be no benefit at all."

"The original promotion and distribution plan for The Promise in North America was changed, and Warner Bros. took over the distribution personally, which was the result of the incident."

"We will tell the public that Chen Kai and I are both from the same family, similar to the blue-blooded nobles, the nobles of the Mayflower, and the Hu Feng clan."

"These foreigners are still barbarians. They just want to brag and can't be honest."

A strategy was agreed upon.

Blow it up!
Feng Xiaogang's praise for film buyers made them dizzy, and his connections with them reached the highest level.

When it comes to bragging, get rid of the psychological admiration and fantasies. When old BJ starts bragging, he can do anything in the world.

Feng Xiaogang was interviewed and blasted Harvey: "Harvey often deals with Chinese filmmakers. One of his common tricks is to ask, how much does your film cost? 800 million US dollars, North American copyright, I'll buy it!"

"Then once he announced the deal to buy the film, all those who wanted to buy the film gave up because everyone knew that Harvey had bought it and he would only pay you a deposit of $20."

"Then when all other buyers are gone, after a while, he says he doesn't want it anymore, I'm willing to sacrifice the $20, what are you going to do now?"

"You told him, but everyone else had left. He said, can you make it cheaper, like this, $100 million."

"This is Harvey, he's a liar!"

5 month 21 day.

Warner Bros. spokesperson: "We oppose discrimination against the Chinese. Racial discrimination has no place at Warner Bros."

At the same time, the North American release date of "The Promise" was adjusted to June 6, avoiding other blockbusters.

The original distribution method was changed to promote the film through merchandise films.

Cinemas are located around Chinese communities, as well as open-minded, blue-leaning, white-left communities that are willing to accept overseas culture.

The number of distribution theaters increased to 300, and the screening times and showtimes were also adjusted.

After the news came out, reactions varied.

Chen Kaige had mixed feelings. He was definitely happy, but he also felt disillusioned.

This adjustment completely confirms discrimination.

He used to have a special feeling towards the United States and the West, but now he feels nothing but coldness.

The Huayi people also felt similarly.

As they get tougher, the harder they blow, the more useful it is.

I found that foreigners only recognize bloodline and relationships, but not contracts and rules.

In other words, contracts and rules are only superficial, the root is origin.

The previously tough buyers from major companies began to soften.

Talk, you can talk.

Moreover, these people turned against each other as easily as turning the pages of a book, without any burden, as if the previous intimidation and threats had never happened.

Nine out of ten people in this cultural circle have illusions about the United States.

If they were not forced into a corner and did nothing, their money would be wasted and they might never see this side of Americans.

Walt Disney, Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures were angry.

I knew that Warner, which often fights among itself, is unreliable.

Warner doesn't care.

After the statement, the company's stock price saw a wave of increases.

This shows that the market is optimistic about this move.

Beijing time, Monday, May 5nd.

China Film Group notified all major cinema chains: "Superman Returns" is scheduled to be released on June 6."

The idea of ​​domestic product protection month has been dispelled.

Did you find any files?
There has never been any domestic protection month!

With the release date set, Warner shares experienced a wave of drastic fluctuations. Major financial institutions took the opportunity to short sell, killing retail investors, and then there was another wave of pull-ups.

At the same time, people began to discuss how long the other four Hollywood studios could last and to interpret China Film's actions.

Compared with the Sony-Columbia statement, this time Warner's statement was more specific, and China Film's response was slower.

Of course there is the impact of holidays, but is it true that the requirements for statements will become higher as time goes by?
How long can the four major Hollywood alliances exist, and who will be the next?
The last statement is, will Todai take severe measures?

Shen Santong read the news from foreign media and was amazed.

Each of these financial institutions is good at telling a story with many ups and downs, twists and turns.

Local time, May 5th.

The 59th Cannes Film Festival closed.

The King of Sunglasses did a big thing and gave away six best actresses.

Beijing time, May 5th.

Shen Santong saw the news and complained: "Six of them, they really know how to make a scene, why don't they give one to Zhang Ziyi?"

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Shen Santong and said, "What do you think of this? Look, these six are actresses from "Return". There are precedents for this kind of thing. It's not reasonable to add one from another movie."

Gao Yuanyuan has also been to film festivals and was interested in the history of the awards ceremony.

After listening to Gao Yuanyuan's explanation, I realized that distributing six people was indeed a whole job.

But there are similar examples where multiple actors belong to the same play.

Shen Santong hit the nail on the head: "Why do I feel like King Sunglasses made a deal, giving five best actor winners of the Chinese film "Glory Days" in exchange for letting him play a game."

Shen Santong is not talking nonsense. "Years of Glory" looks at World War II from the eyes of four North African Foreign Legion soldiers.

The subject matter involves the subtle emotions hidden in the Chinese society and multi-ethnic integration.

It's a bit similar to "The Legend of Zu", a relatively correct movie.

Gao Yuanyuan was speechless: "Can you not be so straightforward and let me fantasize a little?"

"In your eyes, the general direction of the three major film festivals is inseparable from the international situation."

"The small direction is inseparable from political correctness and has nothing to do with movies and art, right?"

Recently, she listened to Shen Santong talk about the struggle surrounding costume blockbusters.

There was also the trade-off between “The Promise” and “The Banquet”, which was already disillusioning enough.

Shen Santong asked back: "Isn't it?"

Gao Yuanyuan didn't want to pay attention to him: "."

Gao Yuanyuan said: "I'm going to sleep."

Shen Santong said: "I'll help you sleep."

Gao Yuanyuan said suspiciously, "Don't make trouble."

Shen Santong said seriously: "Serious exercise."

After a while.

Gao Yuanyuan complained: "You lied to me."

Shen Santong said innocently: "I'm exhausted. Wouldn't it help me sleep if I just fell asleep?"

US time, June 6th.

Chen Kaige looked at the box office data in his hand and felt like crying.

First week box office: $5 million!
The total box office is expected to reach more than 10 million US dollars!
This achievement was made despite Xavi's smear campaign, poor feedback from Western Europe, and all kinds of negative news.

If there weren't so many twists and turns, doubling wouldn't be a problem.

Warner mobilized the media to carry out marketing promotion, and some Hollywood companies launched public opinion smear campaign.

After neutralization, the media rating was B, which is not very good, but not very bad either.

Overall, it is much better than Fa and De.

Those who praised him said that he had a different interpretation of fantasy themes and showed the unique charm of Eastern culture.

It's hard to imagine this being a digital effect outside of Hollywood.

Okay.

In Europe and the United States, it was criticized for its pursuit of digitalization, but it is popular in North America.
