Chapter 409 Are Hong Kong movies just a fig leaf? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Although the filming was affected by the rain.
But soon Zhang Mouzi received good news. Han Sanping from China Film Group and Jiang Zhiqiang, who held the overseas copyright of his film, sent congratulatory messages.
The contract authorizing the production of multiple films will be officially signed with CC Standard in Beijing tomorrow.
The two sides are preparing to hold a brief press conference.
But just before Zhang Mouzi could be happy about the good news, Zhang Weiping, who was in Beijing to discuss the follow-up to "Hawthorn Tree Love" with global investors, heard the news, and his face quickly darkened.
Logically speaking, such good news can also play a good publicity role in the subsequent movies.
As soon as the news spread that it had been rumored for a while that it was finally finalized, fans on the Douban website started discussing it enthusiastically.
CC standard collection, only two early films by Wu Yusen.
Now Zhang Mouzi is the second and the first among mainland directors, and he has made many films at once.
Wang Jiawei, who was on the set of "The Grandmaster", was furious when he heard about this, his expression was complicated and hard to understand.
After the acquisition of the CC standard collection, the reason why it ignored the masterpieces of Hong Kong films but directly decided to include Zhang Mouzi's films in a short period of time cannot be more straightforward.
Xiang Yang stood up and walked to the sofa, found a seat and sat down and asked, "Is it as expected by Mr. Han?"
Xiang Yang suddenly understood, but Liu Qianqian's tone was a bit strange.
Who could possibly make this petty guy angry?
"I just came over to say hello to you. I'm going to China." Little John said angrily to Xiangyang.
The labor fee of 2 US dollars is a bit small, but the matter itself is not profitable.
He couldn't interfere in the copyright signing ceremony, nor could he change it, but he was angry and unhappy about the fact that the other party didn't take him seriously.
Little John was very unhappy about this.
"Then just sue him for defamation."
At that time, people did not respond to these things, but now it seems.
It is said to be a bailout, but in fact it is short-lived.
Relying on tens of millions in box office revenue to revitalize a declining industry?
"Little John even communicated with Lao Han on the phone in front of me in the afternoon." Xiang Yang said.
"What's going on with Director Zhang?" Xiang Yang asked.
He didn't have to look for anyone at all, it was the next morning after a night's rest.
CC standard collection is a banner for DVD.
A lot of people scolded me very unpleasantly.
He could count all the people he knew in the Chinese entertainment industry on his fingers, and to put it harshly, they didn't have much friendship with them.
"Really, why did I lie to you?" Xiang Yang said while hugging Liu Qianqian.
Not only the CC Standard Collection was scolded, but also Han Sanping and Hong Kong Island Jiang Zhiqiang from China Film Group.
If you don’t have money for gas, don’t keep thinking about swiping my card.
The topic of Zhang Mouzi being worth 10 soon aroused widespread discussion.
"Infernal Affairs 4000", which invested 2 million Hong Kong dollars, only received less than 2500 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office on Hong Kong Island, and the mainland market also plummeted to [-] million.
After Xiang Yang came back and listened to his original narration of the incident, Liu Qianqian searched the Internet for comments.
Mainly, in the eyes of the public, although the quality of Zhang Mouzi's movies has declined drastically in recent years, it is still more than the 10 figure.
"We offend people to death just because of the pinyin of their names?"
Even if it's bad, doesn't it still have the halo of the Olympics?
"It's so annoying!"
"That's not your concern."
The reporters who had been squatting at the filming location provided him with the greatest convenience.
Are "Infernal Affairs" and "Kung Fu" really awesome?
"Almost the same, but not the same."
Wang Jiawei didn't even dare to think about this.
It's just a car. If my hands feel itchy, I'll go out and drive around for a couple of times. What's going on if I keep asking myself to follow?
The most successful one at the box office, "Infernal Affairs 3", relied on the participation of Chen Daoming, who was booming in mainland China, and the success of publicity and distribution, and it barely exceeded 3000 million (mainland).
Xiang Yang replied casually and perfunctorily.
"Boring." Liu Qianqian wrinkled her nose, slid her finger down the iPad's news interface, turned her head and said to Xiang Yang:
"Mrs. Xiang called me this afternoon."
"???"
Amidst Little John's endless complaints, the new secretary delivered the coffee Xiangyang asked for.
Little John picked up the coffee, took a sip and looked at Xiang Yang with a complicated mood, and said, "This matter won't cause any trouble to Liu."
At that time, when Xiang Yang was fighting with Hollywood, people here in Hong Kong and people from the Film Association often came out to ridicule others for being idle and looking for trouble.
"I have no contact with them, I just discuss the matter."
Movie fans who had a favorable impression of the CC standard collection yesterday felt like they had eaten a fly when they saw such news today.
"Then you come and sign for me first. After you sign, I can go find Axel."
As early as the 90s, as Hollywood movies that revolutionized digital special effects technology such as "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" were released one after another, Hong Kong Island had long lost its important ticket market in Southeast Asia.
Xiang Yang was a little surprised for a moment.
Logically speaking, my wife is not involved in childbirth at the moment, and Mrs. Xiang, who has been to Paris not long ago, knows this best.
Unlike commercial films, many small-budget, large-scale artistic films and genre films in Hong Kong cannot yet be released in inland areas. Overseas copyrights, overseas releases, and overseas film festivals are the only way out.
This move sent a signal.
He couldn't help but express his worries.
But what about the royalties per movie?
The reputation of Hermès Film Investment Company in China has been slandered, and this is what makes him most angry.
"I don't know what they were thinking. For our big investment of 7000 million yuan, they were only willing to give Zhang Mouzi 10 yuan. This is no different from sending away a beggar."
This kind of thing has already happened, and he still knows to consider Liu Qianqian first. It seems that after getting along for a period of time, he has indeed changed a lot.
"Oh, so that's what it is."
The Internet has become like a lawless place.
Unlike Wang Jiawei who was in the mood to ponder, Zhang Weiping rushed back to the filming crew in Yichang directly after leaving Universal.
Little John, who had just had a happy day after buying a car, immediately became confused when he received the call.
Don’t forget, when acquiring the CC Standard Collection, we also acquired the theater chain of Janus Films.
Some media revealed that on the day of the production of "Hawthorn Flower Love", Zhang Mouzi and Zhang Weiping had a quarrel over this matter, and then they simply didn't film any scenes that day.
The copyright of "Speak Well" is in his hands.
"What's the problem?" Xiang Yang smiled.
Xiang Yang was also a little impatient as Little John came uninvited again, seemingly holding a document in his hand.
This is naked slander!!!
"What are you doing here again?"
Although the box office of this movie was good in Hong Kong and overseas, the box office in the mainland was less than 1000 million.
What's the difference between this and a dog biting Lu Dongbin?
Public opinion is easily swayed.
It's all work cooperation.
Little John was silent for a few seconds and nodded.
"Sit down first and let's talk." Xiangyang picked up the phone on his desk, asked the secretary outside to buy him two cups of iced coffee, and then said to Little John.
The scene was just like the attack on Han Sanping when "Three Guns" was released last year due to production constraints.
Even if he was lying, he wouldn't lie to his wife about something like this.
you do not say.
For Littlejohn, it's mostly a matter of reputation.
There were serious reports, but Liu Qianqian did not dare to confirm whether they were true or false.
Looking sharply at Xiang Yang, he asked, "Why do you have a secretary but I don't?"
"You may not believe it, but this guy actually said that we were sending beggars away."
"Oh, that's amazing."
Little John, who was furious, took a deep breath, came to the sofa and sat down.
"What's so amazing about that."
Although the fees paid to Zhang Mouzi's team will be shared equally among several films.
Judging from the discs alone, after each movie is restored, it is sold at a price of 30 US dollars, and the total sales of 5000-6000 sets is between 15 and 18 US dollars.
After all, he is also a mainland director who has achieved both awards and commercial success, and he can be considered to be second to none.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes when looking at Little John.
If you are willing to be a dog, then Lu Dongbin is not willing to be bitten.
In addition to theaters in North America, France, the largest ticket warehouse in Europe, has also begun to cooperate with MK2.
This kind of thing will not have a chain reaction soon, but what will happen after Hong Kong movies are released overseas for several consecutive years and the sales of copyrights are frustrated?
"Then I'll be relieved if you say that. After all, Liu is a close friend of mine."
"I hope these people can wake up and respect should be reflected in the amount of cooperation."
"Little John really wants to sue Zhang Weiping?" Liu Qianqian asked.
As a result, they were not even interested in talking to him.
Before the signing press conference was held in Beijing, he opened fire on a group of reporters standing outside the crew's cordon.
"Uh, why is she calling you?"
Listening to Xiangyang Laohan Laohan shouting, Liu Qianqian joked with a smile.
Anyone would feel sick when encountering something like this.
Xiang Yang, who knew what was going on, took a sip of coffee and said with a frown, he couldn't get used to being denounced online at every turn.
Are box office theaters doing charity without spending any money?
He's not a tabloid.
private aspect
Well, Su Chang and Zhang Liangying have some friendship.
Commercial films cannot achieve the success they boast, and the market for artistic films is also sluggish.
This is a master who likes to settle accounts after the fall.
As the fig leaf of Hong Kong films, it is estimated that there will only be one Academy Award left in the future.
In fact, by 2010, anyone with a little bit of brains could see that if it weren’t for mainland audiences’ infinite tolerance and favorable impression of Hong Kong Island films, Hong Kong Island films would basically have no future to talk about.
After all costs such as labor and production are thrown away, how much is left?
"Then book the ticket and I'll take you to the airport." Thinking that he might be asking him to drive the car back for him, Xiang Yang raised his head, but when he saw that Little John's angry face was a little red, he Sensed something was wrong.
Without the ticket warehouses in Southeast Asia, the film industry in Hong Kong Island will be in a direct avalanche.
"Of course it's for the Cannes Film Festival. People want to come and have a look. Are they all just like you, half-footed in the entertainment industry but indifferent to these things?"
"Since Zhang Mouzi and I collaborated on "Speak Well" in 1995 until now, I have never seen him be so humiliated."
That's why after "Infernal Affairs" was released in 2002, it was dubbed a film to save the market.
"Who said I was indifferent? I care about you very much, don't I?"
After Xiang Yang finished speaking, while Liu Qianqian didn't react, he lightly printed a mark on her face.
"Go, stop fooling around. My mother told me so much."
Liu Qianqian rubbed her face and felt that she had gained a little weight.
