After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 302: A movie outside the rules, Let the Bullets Fly!
Boss Yang nodded with a smile but said nothing. He actually just wanted to avoid competing with your name today.

Wang Changtian holds the ticket subsidy, and if we don’t make things clear now, we won’t make peace.

In case the two films are released at the same time, there is a problem with Meituan’s ticket subsidy and Let the Bullets Fly cannot be used for ticket subsidy, but your name can be used for ticket subsidy.

That really makes me cry...

Even if I complain at that time, Zuoshandiao will just try to smooth things over... and won't do anything.

After all, Guangguang and Meituan spent money on ticket subsidies, but China Film did not spend a dime...

"This is not a good idea..." Boss Yang said ambiguously.

"It's nothing good or bad. If Feng Kuzi wins the championship this year, I'll pay him 100 million. I'd rather invest this money in Let the Bullets Fly and give Yinghuang and Jiang Wen a bargain than give Feng Kuzi a dime."

After that, Li Mingyang picked up a bottle of sake on the coffee table and toasted Boss Yang, "Boss Yang, my meaning is so clear, why are you still trying to beat around the bush?"

"Haha, Director Li, what are you talking about? I salute you, I salute you on behalf of Jiang Wen. Don't worry, I will definitely strive for this year's annual championship. As for this...will there be any mistakes in the ticket subsidy? For example, on the day of the premiere, there will be a sudden mistake and the audience will not be able to buy tickets."

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian were both extremely perceptive people and they understood the meaning of Boss Yang's words right away.

This old guy is really vicious. He wants to trick Feng Kua's pants in If You Are the One 2.

Since the summer season, ticket subsidies have shown amazing box office explosive power.

I want to subsidize the tickets for all the movies that are now released.

Donnie Yen had a quarrel with Wang Changtian over the issue of ticket subsidies for Fist of Fury... No, it lasted a whole day.

Since you are in the film industry, who doesn’t want your movie to be a big hit at the box office?

Even Donnie Yen, the top box office star in the domestic entertainment industry, is no exception.

Wang Changtian really wanted to get ticket subsidies for Fist of Fury, but it was forbidden from doing so, so there was nothing he could do.

In the end, they could only start with Meituan group buying, and secretly provide ticket subsidies under various pretexts to give Donnie Yen an explanation.

After only one day of group buying, I was warned by Zuoshandiao.

Tsui Hark also negotiated with Wang Dajun over the ticket subsidy issue for Detective Dee and wanted to withdraw the film and move it to next year.

But I was told that all the movies that have been scheduled are not allowed to delay their release dates.

Detective Dee performed so well at the box office that Xu Ke and the Wang brothers must be regretting the decision to set the release date so early.

Not long after reaching an agreement with Boss Yang, Jiang Wen sobered up and wanted to discuss the ticket subsidy.

Knowing that the deal had been reached and that Li Mingyang was going to help him become the box office king, Jiang Wen patted his head and
He laughed out loud, as if he had already regarded Li Mingyang as a close friend.

We started drinking again for the second time.

In the second game, Jiang Wen didn't drink so much and didn't talk nonsense.

He put his index and middle fingers together and tapped the table while teaching Li Mingyang.

Teach him how to solve his current dilemma.

“The director has to win an award!”

"No matter what award it is, you have to win one. Don't worry about how many inside stories there are about those awards. Every award has its inside stories, even the Oscars!"

"If you get it, you win."

"The Beijing Film Academy was indeed not very kind to you, but this is an old trick. I was also paralyzed by that group of people back then, so I just ignored it and went directly to Cannes to win the award first."

"You are qualified to negotiate with them only if you have the award. Do they have the box office? No! Why should they recognize something that they don't have!"

"The people at Beijing Film Academy are almost turning the Directors Association into their own territory. No matter what, you are from Beijing Film Academy, and they are afraid of pushing you too far. If you run away and refuse to acknowledge the school, it will be even more embarrassing for them."

"So we should give in if we have to. There's no point in dragging it out. If we just ask them for the award, do they dare to say no?"

"Of course, if you're only after money, just treat what I just said as bullshit. Haha!"

What Jiang Wen said made sense and was indeed feasible.

Even though he had a bad relationship with the school and refused to obey the school's rules, he was still a student of Beijing Film Academy after all.

He just needs to give in and then ask for it.

If we don’t give it to him, will we give it to someone else?

Apart from anything else, he will get a lot of Best New Director awards.

We had a pleasant chat for the whole afternoon.

Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang had to catch a plane to Yanbei, so the meeting ended.

When they parted, Jiang Wen gave him a big bear hug and said, "Director Li, you have to come to the premiere of Let the Bullets Fly to support me!"

"sure."

"Ha ha!"

Li Mingyang got into the car, rolled down the window, and waved goodbye to Jiang Wen and Boss Yang and his party at the hotel entrance.

The car started and drove towards the airport.

Wang Changtian took off his glasses and wiped them. "I always thought you were going to push Feng Kuzi off the stage yourself, but I didn't expect you to push Jiang Wen... You have no confidence in yourself." "Our movies are all within the rules, and his is the only movie outside the rules. It's a miracle that Let the Bullets Fly passed the review."

Let the Bullets Fly is extremely funny. It was completed in March and passed the review shortly after that.

Then they kept it secret and didn't promote it.

Half a year later, in mid-July, Jiang Wen organized a film viewing party.

After watching Let the Bullets Fly, many people fell silent.

It is a violation of the law that this film can pass the review...

In Li Mingyang's opinion, the money-printing Wushuang, the love with ghosts and the afterlife, and the gambling of Macau are just crossing the line.

Let the Bullets Fly really puts the domestic film censorship system under pressure.

……

"It's passed the review, and it's still a mainstream film..."

Main theme + Jiang Wen + donation + a bunch of movie stars...

Let the Bullets Fly has both vulgar humor and thought-provoking brainstorming.

There is a small climax every few minutes, and the climaxes are one after another.

The story is interspersed with jokes such as eating hot pot and singing songs, a bloody murder caused by a bowl of jelly, the real and fake county magistrate, and taking advantage of the situation.

Invert, invert, and invert.

Jiang Wen is truly a genius.

Jiang Wen is really scary when he puts aside his literary and artistic tendencies and focuses on commercial elements.

Let the Bullets Fly has many explosive elements.

The most amazing thing is that he can string together the jokes from the skits to form a perfect whole.

Foreshadowing, development, climax, foreshadowing, development, climax...

The movie has a very simple rhythm, but it contains two main lines, light and dark. After understanding the light main line, you can't help but think deeply about the dark main line.

Some people are not bound by censorship constraints and will continue to make bad movies.

Some people are not bound by censorship constraints, and if they put aside their literary and artistic tendencies and embrace the market, they can really produce masterpieces that are both box office hits and well-received.

Jiang Wen is such a genius.

This is why he was chosen to be the knife-wielder who breaks the barriers in the Hong Kong circle.

Arriving at the airport, Li Mingyang went to Yanbei and Wang Changtian went to Pengcheng.

Before they parted, Wang Changtian asked Li Mingyang again, "Are you really not going to compete for the title of box office king?"

"Five big productions are released in the same month at the end of the year. Even if I have confidence, the market is saturated. If it were any other time slot, I could give it a try, but not this time slot."

"That's fine. Three hundred million box office is actually enough... You decide the release date? Or do I decide?"

"May 12th."

"Where's the publicity? Are you coming?"

"Forget it... I'm too lazy to even hold a premiere."

"We still have to hold the premiere. It will be a wonderful memory in the future."

"Haha, why don't I hold a premiere? Don't you have any idea? I'm just afraid that you will drag Liu Yifei here."

“That won’t happen…” Wang Changtian adjusted his glasses guiltily.

Li Mingyang was too lazy to pretend, so he asked the others to leave the VIP lounge and said to Wang Changtian alone: ​​"There is something I want to make clear. If it is because of you that the listing of Guangxian is suspended, you can wait for my lawyer's letter!"

"Also, if Tangren is unwilling to cooperate because of Liu Yifei, and Guangguang's stock price fails to meet expectations, the share betting contract will be void. I won't play anymore, so you have to give me the cash."

"Don't talk, just listen to me."

"I don't dislike Liu Yifei, I just don't want to work with her unilaterally. Of course, I know you have ways to force me to cooperate... I want to make it clear that TV dramas and variety shows are fine, but movies are not, absolutely not. If you dare to set up a game, I dare to break it up."

Wang Changtian didn't expect Li Mingyang to react so strongly. "The momentum of your two partners will definitely be unprecedented. Don't you want to complete the bet as soon as possible?"

"I can afford the compensation."

"..."

"Don't even think about that. You won't be able to get an offer from her agent."

Wang Changtian smiled confidently, "You never know."

“It’s best not to have it.”

Li Mingyang sighed. He was talking to both Wang Changtian and himself.
