0178 [Infernal Affairs has not passed the trial]

Year after year!

Time negligence.

The sixth day of the Chinese New Year.

Wan Xiaohu rushed back to the capital from his hometown and first went to Su Ya's house to pay New Year's greetings.

"Happy New Year, Auntie." With a bag of gifts, Wan Xiaohu entered the military compound for the second time.

"Xiaohu is here, come in and sit down." Su Ya's mother has a good impression of Wan Xiaohu.

There are already many people in Su Ya's family, who come to pay New Year's greetings and are noisy.

"I'll introduce it to you, this one is..."

Su Ya's mother was about to introduce Wan Xiaohu, but she was interrupted by a little girl: "Second Aunt, I know, director Wan Xiaohu who filmed "My Savage Girlfriend". Brother Xiaohu, are you sister Su Ya's and her partner?"

Wan Xiaohu nodded.

"Xiaoyun, go and have fun." Su Ya's mother drove the little girl away without hesitation, "You all know that Wan Xiaohu is a very young and promising director. She worked with Su Ya to open the Dandelion Film Company. Xiaohu, let me introduce you to this person. This person is..."

There were people in the room, some were subordinates of Su Ya’s father, some were relatives of Su Ya’s hometown, and some were neighbors of the military compound.

After meeting him politely, Wan Xiaohu sat on the sofa in the living room and watched others call 80 on the coffee table.

Su Zhicheng was fighting hard and said to Wan Xiaohu: "There are melon seeds and candies on the table. You are not an outsider. I won't treat you anymore. I'll find someone to chat with you and think you're your own home."

"Uncle, you guys, I'll eat some melon seeds." They were all strangers I didn't know. Although Wan Xiaohu was a little uncomfortable, he was not afraid.

Besides, Su Ya was sitting aside, holding a cell phone, and was about to forward some funny text messages to Wan Xiaohu.

"Tiger, read this text message. It's so funny."

"It's okay. It's a normal text message." In the era when mobile phones were not popular, text message blessings became popular. It is indeed funny to put a lot of content in this period, but for Wan Xiaohu, who has experienced the endless era of text message bombing, these are really meaningless.

"Why don't you have any humorous cells?"

"Not funny, why am I humorous?"

"Hey, Wan Xiaohu." At this time, a young man patted Wan Xiaohu's shoulder. He just introduced that he was Su Ya's cousin Su Jingxu, the youngest son of her uncle's family, who was on duty in the army, but he had basically never been to the military camp and was an unemployed vagrant. "Have you filmed the "Infernal Affairs"?"

"The editing is completed, and when the radio and television door is opened, I will take it for review."

"Is that true? Do you think this movie can get a box office, and can it make more money than the first two?"

"This is not very clear. In theory, Infernal Affairs is a bit more literary and artistic, not a pure commercial movie, and how much can you get in the box office. This is hard to say. However, I feel that making money is a certain amount. It is the question of how much you make."

Su Ya asked: "Has Zhongying been introduced?"

"Han San and I were on the phone on the phone a few years ago. It's almost the same. The movies I made should be quite popular."

Su Jingxu nodded: "You are very famous now and you are about to catch up with Zhang Yimou and others. You are the ones who make movies. It's really enviable to get fame and profit."

"Brother Xu was joking, that is, he just made some hard money."

"You are humble, too modest, just talk about "Butterfly Effect". Now many people say that you are probably making tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of yuan!"

"How can you make so much money? The revenue of several movies is only more than one billion yuan." Su Ya knocked on melon seeds and didn't take more than one billion yuan in her eyes.

However, when Su Jingxu saw this, his eyes suddenly felt a glowing feeling: "One hundred million is not that much? Xiaoya, you are so angry now. The money I have seen in your brother has not exceeded one million. Now you have to squeeze out even if you smoke. Are you really making money by making movies?"

Su Ya tilted her head: "Who will open a film company if you don't make money? Look at your expression, you look very envious."

"How can you not be jealous? More than one billion yuan a year? How many billionaires are there now? You are the big capitalists! Su Ya, Director Wan, you can make a total of the total, and I will set up a film and television company to play with. What do you think?"

"Where did you get the money to start a company?" Su Ya was puzzled.

"Borrow money."

"Uncle told you to leave your military family?"

"Look for an agent."

Su Ya shook her head: "I don't like you. If you open a film company, the most important thing is to make good movies. Dandelions are supported by tigers. If you want to make money, you must first find a director like tiger, otherwise you can only lose money. You don't have a channel for distribution."

"Is it unrealistic to open a film company like this?" Su Jingxu felt a little uncomfortable, "Su Ya, you can't spoil your brother. I heard the news that the theater system in China is now in China, and the film industry focuses on supporting industries, which is very interesting."

"It's not that the industry is a sunrise industry, but it's suitable to start a company casually. Tiger is an expert in this field. If you don't believe it, ask him. He also participated in the discussion on the introduction of the theater system."

Wan Xiaohu smiled: "The film industry is indeed a focus on supporting industries now. After all, China cannot always focus on manufacturing. Sooner or later, it will turn to a service-oriented market economy. The entertainment industry has a great overall driving role in the service industry, involving a complete set of upstream and downstream industrial chains. With a depth of development, national support is also necessary."

"So I'm having a big deal about opening a movie company?"

"This is not. Movies are different from the general entertainment industry. The income from making a movie directly affects the survival of the company, and the risk is relatively high. The most important thing is that investing in movies requires insight. Brother Xu is an outsider, and it is very risky to do this industry. In fact, if you want to do the entertainment industry, it is more appropriate to open a TV series company than to open a movie company. Chinese audiences' entertainment is still mainly about watching TV. There is great potential in this regard, and it is easy to buy."

"Is that true? Xiaohu, you have a different relationship with Su Ya. I am Su Ya's brother. You have to be a good adviser for me." Su Jingxu rubbed his hands and said.

Su Ya glared at him: "Don't hit my sign."

Wan Xiaohu smiled and said, "Everything is risky, and there are resources, especially those in the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and Culture. Brother Xu, if you can find a relationship, you can take time to talk to me. How can we open a TV drama company together?"

Originally, Wan Xiaohu had an idea that to build an entertainment empire, the TV series production company was an important territory. Later, Su Ya said that he was so busy and was too tiring to live. He thought about it, so he didn't force it anymore. Now that Su Jingxu wanted to enter the market, he might as well make a conclusion. Provide some creativity and add it to the same.

"Okay, I'll look for you then."

...

After eating without being very comfortable, Wan Xiaohu said goodbye and left.

Naturally, Su Ya gave her a gift.

"Hey, do you really want to help my brother open a TV drama company?"

"Why not?" Wan Xiaohu put his hands in his bag. There were too many strangers at noon today, and he didn't drink much and was very sober.

"My brother is just a gangster. He has never been to college and cannot adapt to the life of the army. If he wants to open a company, he will probably lose money."

"It's not necessarily true. There are not so many things to pay attention to when opening a company with the second generation of officials. As long as the relationship is in place, you can give the company to professionals to operate. You can wait at home to count the money. I see that your brother is a well-informed person. The relationship in the industry should be good."

"Speak, he will also interact with some guys who are also ignorant. One of them has a position and can't get in. He is more diligent than anyone else in the dinner party and has no ability. Other guys can resell a little approval because they are at home. My uncle is from the army, and my brother can't even approve it."

Wan Xiaohu laughed: "The best relationship is this. I really want to develop within the system and I don't want to be business-oriented. The second generation of officials who don't develop within the system are the main force of the relationship network. I'm optimistic about your brother. Okay, the weather is cold, you go back."

"You stop the car first, I'll watch you go."

After stopping the car, Wan Xiaohu waved to Su Ya.

The taxi was on the road, and Su Ya did not walk back until the car disappeared at the corner.

...

After the holiday, civil servants went to work one after another, and Wan Xiaohu also sent "Infernal Affairs" for review as soon as possible, and then discussed with China Film Group about introducing the mainland. The talks with China Film Group were relatively smooth, and the success of "Butterfly Effect" made Wan Xiaohu different from the past, and his movies naturally attracted people to it.

However, the review went wrong.

Because of the gang involvement, "Infernal Affairs" was shot back in the first review and a large number of shots were needed.

For this reason, Wan Xiaohu had to contact Mr. Han San urgently and asked Mr. Han San to come forward to plead with him.

Once or twice, when treating guests to dinner, time is wasted.

After one day of review, it was not convenient for large-scale publicity in the mainland for a day, so they could only make a small fuss and release the news that "Infernal Affairs" was about to be released. Moreover, Wan Xiaohu knew the previous trajectory. "Infernal Affairs" was released for more than a year. At that time, pirated discs in the mainland were flying all over the world and the box office failed.

Therefore, if Wan Xiaohu wants to release the mainland and Hong Kong simultaneously, the mainland schedule cannot be determined, so Hong Kong cannot be determined.

"Han Sanye, hasn't the radio and television still let go?"

"It's a bit tight, it's a bit difficult. Xiaohu, otherwise you can modify the plot of the movie."

"Master Han San, I'll just say it. I've spent a lot of effort on this movie. I really can't cut it with one knife. If it doesn't cut it, I would rather not be released in the mainland.Master Han San, you have great means, so you can help. You have watched the movie, and there are no political problems, so don't let the radio and television be bored."

"Oh, I'm not going to do the work above... I'll try my best to wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Xiaohu had a great headache. It is already March and it cannot be scheduled for release. If it cannot be scheduled for release, the publicity will not be launched. After all, in June this year, the mainland began to implement the theater system, which means that the movies will be released according to the schedule. The movies must be released at least a few months in advance. If it cannot be reviewed for a long time, it can only be arranged in the back.

If it’s not too much, “Infernal Affairs” will be squeezed out of the summer season and it will make a big box office!

"Fuck! Radio and television are so idle. It's boring. It's boring to come out if you don't have any trouble, right?" Wan Xiaohu looked out the window.

Suddenly, his eyes turned, Wan Xiaohu grabbed the phone and called the head of the public relations department: "I released the news in the media and said that "Infernal Affairs" may be banned from broadcasting in the mainland, and the plot involves internal problems of the police system..."

After finishing the explanation, Wan Xiaohu laughed.

There has always been a saying in Chinese movies that those who are not banned are not good movies. Zhang Yimou's "Alive" and Jiang Wen's "The Devils Come" have all been banned and have become famous because of the banned broadcast. The audience is curious about the banned broadcast. Since the primitive publicity cannot be carried out, we can only find another way and some small means.
