Chapter 42 Sincere Cooperation
Huayi Brothers are really miserable this year.
No, it should be said that they have been miserable in recent years, but this year it has been miserable!
Last year's "Old Cannon" was the only fig leaf of the year.
As mentioned in the previous article, since Huayi implemented the "de-filmization" strategy, the entire company has become irrelevant.
The number one private film and television company who started making movies can't make good movies anymore. "Ex-Story", "Little Reunion in the World", "Lost Orphan", "Three Cities" and "Destiny" are all movies that are losing money to death. It's fine if you lose money, but the key is that the reputation is still outrageous!
Especially "Little Reunion on Earth" actually supports Peng Haoxiang!
Regardless of whether Peng Haoxiang has expressed his political stance on Twitter or scolded the big six netizens, he has been boycotted by the entire network. Can't he be allowed to stay in HK?
Even though I know that "Little Reunion on Earth" will definitely be boycotted and insulted by netizens because of Du Wenzhe's scenes, I still insist on being released. Do you know what populism is? Do you know what it means to go down the river?
You are a movie artist, not a lonely hero. Besides, there are so many young directors with movie dreams, what's wrong with giving them a chance?
The Huayi brothers are really awesome. Wen Zhang's "6 Yao Zhima Li" was invested by them. The good man Chen He is also an actor under their charge. The leader of the sword, Li Chen, the left guard Du Chun, Yang Tianbao, who did not win the Grand Slam, Huang Xiaoming, who believed he had no acting skills, by the way, and Feng Teddy. Of course, the relationship between Teacher Chen and Huayi is still messy!
It brings together almost all the great masters in the entertainment industry...
After the Chinese films entered the high-end exhibition, more than ten movies with box office of over 100 million appeared in China, all of which had nothing to do with the Huayi brothers. Finally, there was a movie called "The Dragon Seeking Art", but he still invested the least; "Journey to the West" earned 360 million, but it completely formed a bond with the biggest IP Zhou Xingchi, and "The Mermaid" had nothing to do with them!
Not only does it matter, it also has an enemy.
By the way, whether it was Shen Lin, Xu Zheng or Zhou Xingchi, they wanted to cooperate with the Huayi brothers at the beginning, and then they all entered the Light Base Camp.
Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?
The parallel movie "Ben Love" was produced. I wanted to fire the first shot of the year in 2016, but it ended up being squinting!
Look at the cast, Zhang Ziyi, Peng Yuyan, Tong Liya (Yaya!), Zhou Dongyu, Chen Yanxi, Zhang Yi, Liang Jing, Wang Qianyuan, Wu Modai...
By the way, five directors, Zhang Yibai, Guan Hu, Zhang Meng, Teng Huatao, and Gao Qunshu, guided each other with all their hearts and worked together, costing about 30 million (most of them were friendly prices). Then they made such a thing, which was released for three days, had a box office of 40 million, and was boycotted by tens of thousands of people!
It is true that tens of thousands of people boycotted the real name. The reason is very simple. Huayi probably saw that "Carol" took off at the box office and thought it could be learned from it. In the promotion, he said that "Run Love" was a lily movie!
Then, the audience who bought tickets were deceived and cheated nakedly. Doing this is simply a consumer of the LgBT group! They are naturally unhappy, so I'm looking for happiness to cheat the box office? Don't buy it! Boycott! Bad reviews!
The rating website is neat and one-star-turning!
Huayi is so big!
Now, the box office incident of "Ip Man 3" has finally appeared, and finally overshadowed the limelight of this incident!
Although he said he despised the "Quick Deer", he was still very honest inside.
By the way, I have to thank Chen Lin for making such a fuss at the Oscars, and I have to ‘thank you’ the box office explosion of “The Mermaid”, which made no one care about the name of the bad movie “Run Love”.
However, the movie "Ben Love" is a certain amount of money. No matter how friendly it is, a movie brings together five famous directors, first-tier and second-tier actors. The pay must be given, with a box office of 40 million yuan. Not to mention the cost, even the promotional fee is not necessarily enough!
...
"Oh, Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, Mr. Fang, you are here too."
When Wang Zhonglei saw Chen Lin and Fang Jianhao, he hurriedly put away the expressions on his face and greeted him.
Originally, he was going to call Director Chen Lin, but then he thought that his value was comparable to the entire Huayi, so he was just a nonsense director!
"Mr. Wang, long time no see, this person is... Mr. Ye!"
Chen Lin also had a smile on his face, shook hands happily, and looked at the man in glasses beside Wang Zhonglei.
Very thin, half a head shorter than Chen Lin, with black-framed glasses, and a short head, giving people a wise and calm feeling.
This person must be Ye Ning, who caused Wanda to start a war with Huayi!
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Ye Ning!"
It was indeed him.
"You are here..."
Fang Jianhao asked in a group.
"Just like you, but it's not our turn yet. Wang Changtian just went in."
Wang Zhonglei explained roughly, then looked around, lowered his voice and said, "I wonder what you two think about "Ip Man 3"?"
"…Haha, although this is a normal behavior in the market, the producer is willing to spend this money and the theaters are willing to collect money, but this has to be said to be a huge disaster for normal film companies. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely resist it."
Chen Lin looked at Fang Jianhao, and finally Fang Jianhao spoke.
"Well, although our company has been in a movie business for only two years, we still have heard of this situation in the market. Once such things spread, like Internet companies, real estate companies will definitely embezzle the movie market. In that case, we companies that follow the formal process will have nothing to play..."
Chen Lin added.
“That’s great!”
Wang Zhonglei and Ye Ning looked at each other, and the latter also followed Chen Lin's thinking and said: "Movies should be based on quality, and it is really not necessary to play those who are not. Look, are we working together to establish a partner and limit this type of film company..."
"This, let's talk about it when we come out!"
Chen Lin is not a fool, so of course he knows what Ye Ning means.
Establishing a business alliance is said to resist unruly business companies. In fact, it is to ask those newbies to pay some protection fees and then let their brother take you to play.
This brother must be Huayi. Although the market value of Light is the highest, the talent reserve is the rival of the old Huayi. Zhao Liying's studio doesn't need to mention it, and the same is true for other companies.
To put it bluntly, this Xing Alliance is just a channel for Huayi to control the entire movie Xing market!
If he really wants to form such a business alliance as he said, what should I do if China Film Academy do?
"…Mr. Chen, I hope you can think carefully. Only when we work hard can we resist the invasion of capital!"
Wang Zhonglei hurriedly continued to put pressure.
"Haha, Mr. Wang, I am a shareholder of Alibaba Pictures. As far as I can tell, Penguin Company also seems to occupy 23% of Huayi's shares. If I really want to say capital invasion..."
Chen Lin looked at Wang Zhonglei with a smile.
They are all foxes that have been around for thousands of years, what are you playing in the Stories from a Chinese Studio?
"...Then Mr. Chen, let's talk more carefully when we have time. It's time for Mr. Wang and I, so we'll go in first..."
Ye Ning's face changed, and he winked at Wang Zhonglei, and the two walked into the courtyard.
"Hey! Imperialism will never die if I destroy my heart!"
Chen Lin looked at the backs of these two people and couldn't help but sigh.
Chapter completed!
