Chapter 263 Hua Zai, stop it, there are only Director Sun outside
cinema.
The controversy caused by the special effects of "Lucy" continues.
Lao Mouzi looked at the special effects on the screen with unstoppable excitement in his eyes.
Everyone in the world knows that Zhang EMO likes to manipulate pictures the most.
The picture quality is a test of special effects technology.
Zhang Yimou is very envious of the technology used in "Lucy".
He lowered his head and asked his wife beside him, "You just said that Zhou Mo contacted us and proposed future cooperation?"
Chen Ting's breathing became a little rapid.
Ever since she married Zhang Yimou, she has been under a lot of pressure.
Whether it is Zhang Yimou's own identity or the identities of the women in Zhang Yimou's past, she always maintains a very cautious attitude when dealing with Zhang Yimou's film affairs.
When Shanhe Company sent her the news, she didn't think much of it because she was dealing with two lawsuits.
Unexpectedly, I lost such a good opportunity in an instant.
"They did contact us, but because you and Zhang Weiping were still in the lawsuit at the time, and their company hadn't demonstrated any specific technology, we put it on hold."
Lao Mouzi nodded, patted his wife's hand, and signaled her not to be nervous.
"It doesn't matter. It was indeed a special situation at that time... What is the general content of the cooperation proposed by Shanhe?"
Chen Ting: "He can provide us with special effects technology at an internal price, but he hopes to work with you to make a movie."
Zhang Yimou raised his eyebrows: "Just filming a movie? It should be more than that."
"Well, Shanhe means that they will not interfere at all in the filming process of the cooperating film director, but the final editing rights must be in the hands of Shanhe Company."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yimou's first reaction was to refuse.
At this stage, Zhang Yimou is still ambitious and is still the enterprising national teacher.
In the world, only Hollywood can make him surrender the final editing rights of the film.
Before this, even Jiang Wen had not asked him to bow his head.
Chen Ting was a little worried that this statement would irritate her husband, and looked at him with some concern: "Shanhe Company should not have any other intentions. The other party was very polite when they came out. It should be Director Zhou Mo's personal habit."
Zhang Yimou: "Well, I know, young people do tend to be more straightforward..."
Chen Ting: "Then do we still want to cooperate?"
The final cut of a film is so important.
It involves everything a director wants to express.
The same clip, if edited by different editors, may end up in two completely different movies.
It makes people not careful.
"Let's wait and see. It just so happens that I don't have any other film plans in the short term after Coming Home, so there's no rush for the special effects."
Zhang Yimou did not refuse directly, but Chen Ting knew him and understood that what he said actually meant that he was no longer considering it.
“Then I’ll reply to them.”
"Well, we can talk about cooperation later, but the technology can be used. It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. President Jia is indeed much more generous than Zhang Weiping."
.....
The movie is already halfway through.
Since the heroine's rapid evolution, the most prominent feature of the rest of the movie is the showmanship.
The heroine is racing, with full special effects.
The enemy opened fire and was killed in one shot.
Inject drugs and travel through time.
She witnessed the billowing smoke of the industrial age, saw the wars of the feudal era, and experienced the bloody mouths of dinosaurs in the Jurassic era up close...
She has seen the changing times.
She witnessed the evolution of organisms.
She monitors the origin of the universe.
Stars twinkle and life evolves.
When the human body is developed to 100%, the heroine disappears instantly.
"Where are you?" The policeman looked at the empty chair and subconsciously asked the deepest question in his heart.
drip-
The cell phone rings.
I opened it and saw a line of text on the phone screen.
"I am everywhere."
……
The movie ends.
The interview phase is still the same old story.
This time Zhou Mo called out to Xie Nan again.
This sister is really useful and honest, and in order to build connections for Wu Jing, who is still her boyfriend, she had agreed with Zhou Mo a long time ago that she must host the event.
The interviews on and off the stage were mediocre.
No more words.
The only interesting thing was when it was the turn of the duo from "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" to be interviewed.
Liu Dehua's expression was very complicated, like laughing and crying at the same time.
"I am honored to attend the premiere of Lucy. In fact, I have already seen this movie in Cannes. At that time, I was very confident that this movie would have an excellent performance, and it is indeed the case. I hope that Lucy's performance in China can reach a higher level."
Liu Dehua sat down and took a breath.
The feeling is different from that in Cannes. Watching this kind of special effects blockbuster in the cinema is obviously more shocking.
Even he, who had already seen the movie once, was still so shocked when he watched it again.
Not to mention the movie fans in China who have never tasted any good food.
I just hope that "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" doesn't lose too badly.
Liu Dehua thought that he had done his best to save the reputation of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". He did not mention "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" in order not to bring shame upon himself.
However, Director Sun was still not satisfied with his speech.
After everyone sat down, he said to Andy Lau, "Wah Tsai, how do you promote our movie?"
Liu Dehua: . . . . . .
If he wasn't well-educated, he would really want to curse.
Why promote "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" at the premiere of "Lucy"?
What are you looking for?
Fortunately, Director Sun is a very generous person.
If Andy doesn’t want to say it, then don’t say it.
Just an interview.
It's ok.
And him!
So, in front of Andy Lau's shocked eyes, Director Sun stood up with a smile on his face.
"Director Sun, what do you think of Lucy?"
Director Sun glanced at Zhou Mo on the stage from a distance.
"Director Zhou, I didn't know you well before, so my evaluation of you was not objective. I want to apologize to you for that. After watching Lucy, I found that it is indeed an excellent commercial film. Just based on this one thing, you are a well-deserved pioneer.
Our film industry has always valued literature over martial arts, and has always been more supportive of art films. So as long as they are directors of commercial films, I will support them.
However, I want to make it clear that in terms of my opinion on this schedule, I still believe that Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains will undoubtedly and deservedly take the first place in the schedule and create a new box office record for Chinese-language films. Before this, the commercial blockbusters in our market were mainly concentrated in history and martial arts, but I believe that Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains will definitely open up a new development path for our film market.”
On the stage, Zhou Mo's mouth twitched after listening to Director Sun's words.
Judging from the content alone, the level of this speech is really good.
But the problem is that the person who said this was Director Sun.
If Zhou Mo had not watched "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" in his previous life and knew how bad the movie was, he would have really believed what Director Sun said.
It's like Pan Jinlian saying to a man: "Although I cheated on my husband, poisoned my husband, and seduced my brother-in-law, I am a good girl."
Unless this man is Cao Cao, no man could remain calm after knowing about Fan Jinlian.
. . . . . .
The premiere is over.
Facing a group of people from the circle who came to inquire about the news, Zhou Mo simply waved his hand and said he would talk about it later.
They were a group of fat sheep, and he was planning to fleece them.
Let it air out first.
Backstage.
Zhou Mo looked at Liu Dehua, who had a bitter face, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother Hua, keep calm. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. There's nothing to be afraid of if you are doomed to fail. Look forward, and you will find that Director Sun will definitely be able to do something bigger."
Liu Dehua: . . .
Everything was going fine before, why does the words seem so wrong now?
He sighed.
"Director Zhou, to be honest, I have given up hope on Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains this time. Director Sun has a lot of connections, and even has a precedent with the theaters in Shanghai, which can provide some protection for filming, but the quality of that movie... To be honest, I don't think filming can save it."
Zhou Mo advised again: "Brother Hua, you have to think positively. Maybe after you make more films, you will get more negative reviews."
Da Tiantian couldn't stand it anymore.
Didn’t you see that Andy Lau was about to cry?
Your complaints are too harsh.
I patted Zhou Mo lightly on the back and signaled with my eyes that if he couldn't speak, he should stop talking and let me do it.
"It's okay, Brother Hua. Even though Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is bad, everyone has made a few bad movies in the past. This criticism will soon be forgotten."
Zhou Mo and Liu Dehua: . . . . . . .
It’s better not to advise.
"Brother Hua, let's talk about business. You asked me to come here this time because you must be asking me to do something."
Liu Dehua nodded.
"Yes, I heard from the crew of 'Dwelling in the Mountain' that they contacted Lizhan Entertainment to help with promotion, and even paid a large sum of publicity fees?"
"Yes." Zhou Mo nodded.
Director Sun did cooperate with Lizhan and asked Lizhan to help promote the movie.
This guy seems to have a peculiar way of thinking.
He believes that competition is competition and cooperation is cooperation.
Even though he paid internet trolls to promote "Lucy" when competing with Zhou Mo before, when he later proposed cooperation, he acted as if nothing had happened.
"That's right, Director Sun has contacted our company personally, hoping to give Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains a wave of super strong publicity."
Otherwise, why do people say Director Sun is a weirdo?
When people contacted Lizhan, they also specifically pointed out that when Lizhan promoted the movie, the publicity efforts should not be less than that of "Lucy".
And don't worry about money.
"I came here this time just to ask Director Zhou for help. After the release of 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains', please help lower the popularity of it," Andy Lau said.
"That won't do." Zhou Mo refused.
"Brother Hua, it's not that I don't want to agree, but when we do business, our main concern is credibility. Since we have already agreed to Director Sun and received the money, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains will receive the highest publicity standards from Lizhan Entertainment."
Liu Dehua changed his statement.
"Then can I lower my appearance rate?"
Zhou Mo refused again: "No, Brother Hua, Director Sun is really loyal to you. When he contacted Lizhan, he specifically told you that he wanted to spread your photos of King Liu to every corner of Lizhan Entertainment."
Andy Lau: Thank you so much!
When Andy Lau thought about the fact that his future movie clips would be spread everywhere, he felt a fear that his toes would burst his socks.
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes." Zhou Mo said suddenly.
Ok?
Liu Dehua looked up.
"What does Director Zhou have to teach me?"
