314. The Two Kings Fight (Part 1)
The small conference room was already filled with smoke in a short while.
This is all saddened by the video's reaction.
Liu Yifei was already driven out of the room by Ye Sumang. He knew very well that the girl was afraid of choking smoke.
"By the way, Su Mang hasn't thanked you yet. He specially vacated the theater to arrange my movie premiere." Chen Kaige suddenly said in silence.
Although the Wuji premiere was held in Kyoto, it was also held in the 20 first- and second-tier cities across the country at the same time, but there were few stars participating. Among these 20 first- and second-tier cities, more than half of the premiere were placed in the theaters of Ye Sumang's World Cinemas. Who made the theaters of the World Cinemas so grand!
In fact, Chen Kaige's meaning is also held in Kyoto in the largest theater under the World Cinema. However, Han Shanping felt that this was a movie from his own company after all, so he would not mention it outside. At least he had to give his own theater a face at his doorstep, so he was placed in Xingmei Cinema.
After hearing Chen Kaige's sudden thanks, Ye Sumang just smiled and nodded.
"Do you think the box office will be like "If? Love" directed by Su Mang last year? I remember that at the beginning, many media and audiences said they didn't understand it very well. Is it a matter of the audience? Perhaps the extension of the screening period will better increase the box office?" Han Shanping suddenly asked.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kaige's eyes couldn't help but lit up, and he looked at Ye Sumang expectantly.
Ye Sumang felt speechless after hearing this. Han Shanping really regarded everything as a life-saving herb.
When it comes to artistic nature, Ye Sumang dares not say that "If? Love" must be stronger than "Wuji", but in terms of the acceptance of the plot, Ye Sumang is still confident that he is stronger than "Wuji".
"If? Love" faces a group from beginning to end, and its plot is actually not difficult to understand. Basically, you will be moved by watching it carefully. However, "The Virgin" is different. It seems to have a magical power that makes people confused when watching it. Although the relationship between several characters seems very clear, it becomes strange when they get together.
This is like the original "East Evil and West Poison", which is definitely a very good movie, but if you really want to broadcast it, I believe the audience will definitely not buy it.
Looking at the two of them looking over, Ye Sumang shook his head ruthlessly.
However, Ye Sumang did not make any suggestions, after all, this is Chen Kaige's work. Every word Ye Sumang here may touch the other party's sensitive nerves, as if making the other party feel that he is pointing fingers at his video.
This is Ye Sumang, who is also a director, puts his heart in his shoes. The more such a moment, the more confident the director is, the less he wants others to point fingers at his movies.
"Okay, the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge. I am very satisfied with this video. I believe the audience will accept it too!" Chen Kaige extinguished the cigarette butts in his hand and made a final conclusion for this meeting.
Ye Sumang was the first to walk out of the conference room, and Liu Yifei was sitting on a bench dozing.
After smiling, Ye Sumang took off his coat and gently draped it on Liu Yifei's body. The girl was very sensitive, but just such a slight action woke her up. However, after seeing that it was Ye Sumang, she smiled foolishly and leaned on Ye Sumang's chest.
"Haha, the girl is good, Su Mang, you have to cherish it." Chen Kaige came out closely behind Ye Su Mang, and he saw the intimate interaction between the couple. This pair of super pleasing golden boy and jade girl was also a pair that Chen Kaige was very optimistic about.
"Okay, don't disturb others' intimacy. Let's go." Han Shanping was the last one to come out, and when he heard Chen Kaige's words, he smiled and pushed the old guy who didn't understand the charm.
Ye Sumang did not get up, and generously hugged Liu Yifei, who had already blushed, and silently admitted the identities of the two. Chen Kaige and Han Shanping smiled and quickly left the corridor. Only then did Liu Yifei dare to raise her head.
"It's all your fault." After taking a photo of Ye Sumang, Liu Yifei said angrily.
"Woman, you are such an unreasonable creature. You clearly depend on it yourself." Ye Sumang pointed to his chest and smiled.
When Liu Yifei heard this, she just rolled her eyes to Ye Sumang, then stood up to tidy up her clothes. Looking at the corners of her clothes that were already slightly wrinkled, she couldn't help but frown.
"Okay, let's consider the issue of clothes when you get home. I really doubt how you, a child with 'obsessive-compulsive disorder, survives if you are born in a poor family." The girl's subtle expression was soon noticed by Ye Sumang.
"But it will be imperfect if you wrinkle, alas." The girl sighed and did not refute Ye Sumang's words. She also knew that she was a little paranoid about some trivial matters. Looking at the folds on the corners of her clothes, she used her little hand to smooth the wrinkle for a while, but the effect was not significant.
Three days later, the box office and reputation of "The Promise" did not escape Ye Sumang's predictions.
The box office is pretty good. With so many big-name stars, this attraction alone is worthy of many movie fans and audiences going to the theater to take a look, but in terms of reputation, it has caused many netizens to complain online.
Kunlun played by Jang Dong-jian was ridiculed by netizens as a "wild beast" who only knows how to walk with four legs, and Qingcheng was ridiculed as a senior X-woman, especially at the top of the palace saying "Do you want to see me take off my clothes?" It was even more taken out by countless netizens to make a picture spoof, which also caused a spoof trend online for a while.
Moreover, not only the characters, but also the styles were complained about. At the beginning, Chen Hong played Manji, who was criticized by netizens, wasn’t it “Princess Taiping”, but also General Guangming from Hiroichi Sanada experiments. The red armor was also ridiculed by many netizens as a cooked crab outfit.
There was even a netizen who was ingenious and excerpted many clips of the movie and re-dubbed it, and changed the title, called "a bloody case caused by a steamed bun". This really touched Chen Kaige's self-esteem, and in the end it was a lawyer's notice letter.
No matter what starting point the netizens complain, this phenomenon seems very dangerous to Ye Sumang. It is said that three people become tigers. The more rumors are worn, the more people repeat it. Even if it is fake, it can make people believe it true.
Under this invisible influence, it is very likely that an originally excellent movie was ruined into a bad movie.
Ye Sumang thought about it and decided to write a film review in Kyoto Entertainment News. Not to mention reversing the public's aesthetic views, it would at least allow some people who want to watch it to be brave enough to enter the theater and truly appreciate "The Unprofile".
On December 20th, there are still five days left before Christmas. Ye Sumang just checked the film review the day before, and just handed it over to the newspaper during the day. As for what effect you will get in the end, it is unknown, but Ye Sumang has done his best.
And now he has more important things to do, that is, interviewing Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehua.
Things should have been done in early December, but Liang Chaowei had to re-film the film, so the interview was delayed again. Until today, the two actors were all fine.
Speaking of which, Liu Dehua has been very proud recently.
The 'Asian Star Director' plan has once again increased his reputation in the Asian entertainment industry. He is also familiar with the public as a producer and an investor for the first time. This transformation is very commendable. You should know that there is a big gap between an actor and a producer in the circle.
The "Asian New Star Director" program has finally come to an end, and there are ten movies that were finally admitted.
Originally, the funds were allocated after only six departments were admitted, but looking at the remaining basic fine products, Ye Sumang and Liu Dehua were reluctant to give up. In the end, both sides decided to invest additional HK$10 million each, which increased the final quota to ten departments.
But don’t underestimate the number of “ten”. Since the “Asian New Star Director Program” started, I have received nearly 400 scripts in one month, both of which are good and bad. Ye Sumang even saw someone who wrote the scripts to himself as a novel. However, under the baseline, excellent works are emerging one after another.
In the end, there were nearly fifty scripts, and there was no way, so Ye Sumang had to implement a voting system. After multiple rounds of screening, ten movies were finally determined. Except for "Lost in the Road", the rest will be filmed in early 2006, and the funds are also ready. Moreover, all directors have also received Ye Sumang's guarantee that as long as the film was filmed, it can be released in Ye Sumang's world theaters for at least one week, and even if the performance is good enough, it can be released nationwide. This news is even happier for these directors than getting the funds.
After all, a large number of the hundreds of movies produced by China every year die in front of the theater. The guarantee of release is the greatest support for their works.
In the No. 1 interview hall in the Tianxia Film and Television Group building, Ye Sumang also met two actors who had already been waiting here.
Liu Dehua was as full of energy as ever, and he could not tell that he was already a man in his forties. When he sat there, he unconsciously exuded the charm of a mature man, just like a luminous body in a dark night, dazzling and eye-catching. This day, you can see from the red heart-blazing eyes of the female employees of the company who frequently passed by.
Liang Chaowei, who was sitting near him, looked different.
Low-key and restrained, the whole person seems to be born with a feeling of being isolated from the world, like a melancholy bard, especially those eyes, which seem to be able to speak, making people involuntarily fall into their charm while looking at each other.
These are the two most popular actors in HK today. They are both actresses at the Academy Awards and their net worth is almost the same.
"Good morning, two gentlemen. If you are ready, the interview will start." Ye Sumang smiled and said directly. He is now looking forward to how these two outstanding actors can bring him a surprise.
