Chapter 659: Sniping Cable's Movie
Zhang Xiao replied: "Suo Li even took action against me and caused me to fight in "The Battle of Red Cliff". You know this movie is of great significance to our Chinese domestic films. Suo Li made me very angry by doing this."
.”
Herman immediately understood what Zhang Xiao meant and asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhang, don't you want to put the premiere of "Zhu Xian" on August 12th?"
"You guessed it right." Zhang Xiao said loudly: "I want to make "Thunder", huh, Suoli wants to use this movie to announce their arrival to the world film industry, that is a dream."
When Herman heard this, he said excitedly: "Great, Suo Li has often caused trouble for us at Disney these days. If "Thunderbolt" can be finished, it will definitely be a very big blow to their confidence.
Mr. Zhang, you can rest assured that I will do my best to promote "Zhu Xian"."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Herman, I hear what you mean, if I were not playing Suoli, would you be cheating on me in publicity?"
Herman quickly explained: "Mr. Zhang, please don't misunderstand me. Even if you give me one hundred and twenty courages, I won't dare!"
Zhang Xiao said: "Okay, I'm just kidding you, don't be so nervous."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao posted a blog post on his Weibo.
I saw him writing on Weibo: "Dear fans, I am very sorry. For some reasons, the premiere schedule of "Zhu Xian" has been changed to August 12th. I hope everyone can forgive me."
When netizens saw Zhang Xiao’s Weibo post, they all became excited.
"Damn it, no!"
"Is Xiao Shen afraid of Chen Gang?"
"What the hell are you farting upstairs? As far as the quality of the trailer is concerned, "Zhu Xian" is definitely many times better than "Battle of Red Cliff". How can you be afraid?"
"That must be because Xiao Shen saw that both movies were domestically produced and would be released globally. He adhered to the principle of not fighting his own people, so Xiao Shen changed the schedule.":
"Why didn't Chen Gang change the schedule? I'm very confused."
"Chen Gang and Huayi have no right to change the schedule of "Battle of Red Cliff" because the distribution rights of this film are not held by Huayi at all, but by Suo Li."
"Holy shit, I discovered a shocking news, that is, the release date of Xiao Shen's "Zhu Xian" is the same day as Suo Li's "Thunder". Xiao Shen went directly to fight Suo Li!"
"When I said this, I understood that Xiao Shen must have been angry with Suo Li's actions, so he directly changed the schedule to the same day as "Thunder Explosion" was released. This was to take revenge!"
"'Thunderbolt' is dead this time!"
"Compared to Chen Gang and Hua Yi, Xiao Shen is still stronger!"
“···”
In addition to netizens' unexpected support for Zhang Xiao, artists and celebrities in the entertainment industry also called Zhang Xiao one after another.
Wu Jin was the first.
"Are you a deserter?"
Zhang Xiao immediately retorted: "What do you mean by deserting? I call it taking into account the overall situation, okay, do you understand?"
Wu Jin said indignantly: "Bullshit, look at the ones run by Huayi. Is that something that an individual can do? How come they don't care about the overall situation?"
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Huayi is Huayi, and "Battle of Red Cliff" is "Battle of Red Cliff". They can draw equal signs."
Wu Jindao: "Isn't "The Battle of Red Cliff" from Huayi? Why can't we draw an equal sign?"
Zhang Xiao explained: "Because Huayi cannot represent Chinese films, but "Battle of Red Cliff" can represent Chinese films in the world of film. This is the biggest difference between the two."
"Brother Jin, don't feel useless. I have never taken Hua Yi seriously. It won't take long before I make him disappear completely."
Wu Jindao: "Then I hope to see this day sooner."
After finishing the phone call with Wu Jin, Chen Daoming, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Li Xuejian, Fa Ge, Hua Ge and others also called Zhang Xiao and praised him for taking the overall situation into consideration.
At the same time, Huayi Company also launched the promotion of "Battle of Red Cliff".
Since "Zhu Xian" took the initiative to adjust its schedule, the two films no longer need to fight each other, so the main creative actors of this film all agreed to attend the film's promotional meeting.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Zhang Xiao was interviewed by a reporter from Qingtian TV.
"Mr. Zhang, last night you posted a post on Weibo, asking you to change the premiere date of "Zhu Xian" to August 12th. Netizens are very curious about why you did this?"
Zhang Xiao took a sip of tea and said leisurely: ""Battle of Red Cliff" is the first domestic film that can be released globally, apart from my films. Once we meet "Zhu Xian", no matter whether we win or lose, it will matter.
This is the failure of our Chinese film industry, and I don’t want this.”
"You have had a long-standing conflict with Director Chen Gang. Many netizens say that you are afraid of Chen Gang and cannot afford to lose. Do you have anything to explain?"
"Hahaha!" Hearing the reporter's question, Zhang Xiao laughed twice and said: "To put it bluntly, I am worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Even if "Zhu Xian" is completely lost, what impact will it have on me?
At that time, the most everyone can say is that Zhang Xiao’s movie has finally hit the streets.”
"But is there any director in the world who has never failed? So those who say I'm scared should think about it carefully."
The reporter asked again: "Many netizens also said that Suoli let "Battle of Red Cliff" and "Zhu Xian" compete on the stage, which made you a little angry, and you adjusted the premiere date of "Zhu Xian" to August 12th, that is
In order to give Suoli some color, because they have an action movie "The Same Hot" will be released on that day, do you have this intention?"
Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Netizens are really awesome. They guessed right. I am going to snipe Suoli's "Thunder"!
"Why do you do this?" the reporter asked.
Zhang Xiao replied: "The reason is very simple. Suo Li has offended me. The distribution rights of "Battle of Red Cliff" belong to Suo Li. Suo Li only released the film 20 minutes after I announced the premiere date of "Zhu Xian"
When they released the premiere date, it was obvious that they were targeting me."
"Huayi is just a puppet manipulated by Suo Li. No matter whether the movie loses or wins at the box office, it will not have any impact on Suo Li. Therefore, playing "The Battle of Red Cliff" will only cause pain to the loved ones.
Haters are quick."
"But it's different with "Thunderbolt". It's one of Suo Li's key movies. If it failed at the box office, it would definitely be a heavy blow to Suo Li. Even if I didn't achieve my goal in the end,
, at least it has affected the box office of his movie, which is already a success for me."
Although this sounds a bit rogue, it still sounds very enjoyable.
The reporter asked again: "Mr. Zhang, are you a little unfriendly to Suo Li by saying this?"
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "In our traditional Chinese culture, there is a word called repaying evil with kindness. Unfortunately, I am not a saint. I can't do it. What Suo Li did makes me very angry, no matter what it is."
Intentionally or unintentionally, I have to retaliate with tooth for tooth, eye for eye, otherwise he will think that I am easy to bully."
