Chapter 196: Centrifugal Plan
According to Xu Hui, if Zhang Yimou can be tied to Huiwen’s World War, the benefits will definitely be no less than Feng Xiaogang’s to Huayi!
At that time, the industry seemed to have reached a consensus: a star who is not a shareholder is not a good star, and a film and television company without a star shareholder is not a good company. After the film and television company made celebrities famous, it made celebrities become shareholders and the company. Behind this feast, it was essentially a "mutual benefit" cooperation between the company and the stars.
Zhang Yimou can't be summarized by simply the word "star"!
Later generations of Leshi Film and Television can have a stock price of 10 billion yuan, but they rely on a bunch of celebrity shareholders!
Otherwise, just with "Tiny Times" and "Jade Traces", would the fun be so striking?
Film and television is a light asset industry, with core resources nothing more than scripts, directors and actors.
To be honest, is there any director in China who is more arrogant than Zhang Yimou?
The benefits brought by this intangible asset are likely to bring Huiwen's stock price to a higher level!
Compared with Huiwen's stock price, which is close to 80 billion, Huiwen is willing to get more, let alone 20 million!
...
It is better to forget each other than to support each other. In the entertainment industry, the big fame and fortune world, there are not many friendships that can withstand the storms in the entertainment industry. The more you are in the past, the more you are indifferent to your brothers and sisters, you will be in trouble when there are conflicts and hurt each other internally!
The two Zhangs had a love affair for sixteen years and finally parted ways.
From the director's standpoint, Xu Hui certainly believes that it is Zhang Wei's product problem!
After all, without the new painting, Zhang Weipin never produced a work again, and he was no longer as awesome as he was back then...
On the contrary, Zhang Yimou has three works, "Return", "The Great Wall", and "Shadow". Although "The Great Wall" is regarded as a bad movie, the existence of the sweetheart covers everything...
Moreover, "The Great Wall" is a real big investment of 150 million US dollars!
The most expensive Chinese film to date; it is the largest co-production produced by Hollywood in China!
Also, Wanda originally offered the condition that 5,000 theaters around the world opened paintings at the same time!
No director can refuse such an opportunity!
Of course, the premise is that you don't know that there will be such a big negative review...
As the saying goes, talking about money hurts feelings, and the factor of breaking up celebrities is money!
But the entertainment industry is not without cooperation that can stand the test of time. For example, Feng Xiaogang, Ge Da Ye, Wang Jiawei and Liang Chaowei, of course, they can work together in harmony because their feelings are mostly based on mutual appreciation in art. Cooperation will be a joke, but they are mostly involved in life outside the play.
If Zhang Yimou really thinks Huiwen is a good boss, Xu Hui will definitely give a suitable contract!
...
Convincing the person next to you is only the first step!
Zhang Yimou's personality is a bit face-saving, so he definitely cannot turn against Zhang Weipin directly.
So, we must not let his rhythm!
You think, he has been able to hold it in the original time and space for half a year, but he knows how long he can hold it in this time!
Xu Hui didn't want to wait three years before he could see Zhang Yimou's works.
So, the day after the broadcast of "Kefan Listening", a 'strange' Weibo appeared on Huiwen's official Weibo: 'Sometimes, artists also need to compromise with the market, and more like partners. Instead of doing this, it's better to break up directly!'
Huiwen World’s official Weibo has always represented Huiwen’s trends. Every time any new work is listed, it will be released on the official Weibo account.
Nearly two million fans, most of them are fans of Huiwen’s artists. They want to learn about their idol’s new trends through the official Weibo account.
This Weibo post was updated, and someone immediately guessed that it was because of Zhang Weipin and Zhang Yimou!
After all, in yesterday's "Kefan Listening", Xu Hui publicly questioned that Zhang Wei's works were the culprit that influenced Zhang Yimou's works!
In fact, in those years, Zhang Weipin also had a lot of fans.
Especially recently, the box office of "The Flowers of Jinling" has been rumored to be zero on the Internet...
Damn, the Japanese release of "The Flowers of War" has not been solved at all, which means that this movie is unlikely to be released in Japan. How can I start with the box office of Japan be zero?
Zhang Weipin talked about North American distribution two days ago. He changed his previous arrogant attitude and his tone was very frustrated: "Actually, two months before the filming of the film started, someone reminded me that the theme of the Nanjing Massacre is very sensitive to the overseas market, especially the Japanese have a great influence in Hollywood! But I always feel that there should not be too many problems."
As a result, the film has indeed suffered a lot of controversy in North America. Some American media wrote an article saying that "The Flowers of Flowers" is a "modelling historical facts and manipulated by the Chinese government!"
After this news came, many patriotic young people immediately protested angrily. They said online that 'even if the Chinese donated money to Zhang Weipin, they would not be able to see the "tragic situation" of "The Flowers of Flowers" that made Zhang Weiping lose hundreds of millions'...
"In this way, movies that record Chinese history cannot be stopped because they cannot recover funds overseas. We not only have to shoot them, but we can even shoot them with all our might!"
The direct impact is that the reputation of "The Flowers of War" has actually increased slightly!
It seems that ‘patriotism’ is really a good business…
The actual situation is that the preview box office of "The Flowers of War" was very low. It was released in 90 theaters for two weeks, but the box office did not exceed $100,000, and the maximum single-stage studio was only $50 million...
Such achievements are obviously not qualified to sell well, so basically no publisher is willing to take over...
Hollywood is a place where business is king. Let alone the Japanese, how about the Jews?
They have control over Hollywood, but Mel Gibson can still return to Hollywood, and the film company that directed "Hacksaw Ridge" and released it is Lions Gate!
He is the most famous anti-Semitic pioneer, and once said the shocking words: "Damn Jews, they should be responsible for all the wars in the world!"
Therefore, it is really not a particularly wise thing to incite "anti-Japanese"!
However, domestic people only take this trick!
The next weekend, "New Dragon Inn" continued to lead, winning a box office of 180 million in three days, successfully pushing the cumulative box office to 660 million;
"The Flowers of War" hit 110 million yuan on the weekend, with a cumulative box office of over 100 million yuan...
However, the slight increase in market response cannot eliminate Zhang Weipin's fear mentality!
Damn, someone wants to poach Zhang Yimou again!
Ken Takakura has a good relationship with Zhang Yimou and can be called close friends. Ken Takakura once wrote a letter to Zhang Yimou, asking Zhang Yimou: As an international director, you must stick to your inner choice of art and not be bound or controlled by the producer. This letter was translated by Wang Xiaohua, the assistant of Zhang Weipin. Zhang Weipin learned about Ken Takakura's advice from Wang Xiaohua. He asked Zhang Yimou to have sex with Ken Takakura, and said domineeringly: "I just don't like others approaching you. If others are close to you, I feel uncomfortable, jealous, and jealous."
Wow, didn’t you agree to be my angel?
Now, Huiwen is so blatant, Zhang Weipin is a little panicked. He must tie Zhang Yimou's money tree!
Maybe he understands a little now. Without Zhang Yimou, he is really nothing...
Chapter completed!
