The two heads of "Jiahe", Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, are paying attention to the intensive publicity campaign of "New Shushan Swordsman" and are hiding behind the scenes to watch the show. People from "New Art City" have also noticed the recent developments in the Hong Kong film industry.
This big event. Because with the [New Shushan Swordsman]
]'s appearance obviously took away a lot of the limelight from [The Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers]. How could Lei Juekun and Mai Jia, who always like to be in the limelight, endure it? So, an emergency meeting was held at "New Art City"
The Big Three and several of their directors and producers were all present.
"Everyone, tell me, what do you think of this movie? Will it have an impact on [The Best Couple Shows Their Magical Powers] we are filming?" Seeing that everyone has arrived, Lei Juekun grabbed the microphone.
When Jia wanted to speak, he immediately threw a magazine with the promotional poster cover of "New Shushan Swordsman" on the conference table, and slapped it with his palms.
Lei Juekun's eyes first glanced at the three giants. Mai Jia looked bitter and resentful, staring at the cover of the magazine, as if he wanted to tear off the cover poster and eat it alive. But for Lei Juekun, he
The gaze that came over seemed not to notice at all, which made Lei Juekun feel like his expression was wasted.
Shi Tian was the same as before. Even if the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up even if the old god was there. Shi Tian, who was used to being a mediator or peacemaker, ignored Lei Juekun's gaze because he understood very well that this meeting
, rather than discussing countermeasures, it is more appropriate to call it a trial meeting for Tsui Hark.
Huang Baiming was even more unstoppable. It was because Lei Juekun and Mai Jia were short-sighted and only valued immediate interests that made Tsui Hark desperate and switch to Feng Yifeng's company. He knew this very well, but he couldn't say it now.
Lei Juekunming
When he is clearly angry, who wants to touch his bad luck? Isn’t that just asking for scolding? In this case, it is better to sit on the Diaoyutai and let Lei Juekun finish venting and see how to deal with this matter, or let Lei Juekun scold him wildly.
Then, pat your butt and leave.
The three giants didn't say anything, and the rest of them didn't even say anything. The original seven monsters of "New Art City" were dispersed by this incident before they could form a fighting force. The departure of Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng as a couple brought "
The loss of "New Arts City" is unpredictable. However, no one has realized it yet. By the time they know Tsui Hark's importance, it will be too late.
His subordinates were so uncooperative that Lei Juekun couldn't think of anything to say about how to get angry. It was really hard to hold it in. "Why don't you talk? Don't you usually talk about how talented you are and how awesome you are?
?How come such a movie suddenly appeared and caused a stir in the city, but no one noticed it? Do you usually spend your time on women's bellies? "
It seems that he spoke too fast. After a few words, Lei Juekun took a few breaths and then continued: "Also, how can Tsui Hark be the director of this movie? What kind of behavior is this? Betrayal, Chi
.How come no one noticed this naked betrayal? How come
No one knows that he has different intentions? What kind of film studio did the couple set up now, cooperate with this bastard Wu Siyuan, and create such a drama? It is a slap in the face. I will never allow such a betrayer.
You are too proud in front of me."
"Asshole, I've been talking about it for so long, but no one comes to sing with me. Do you really want me to sing a one-man show by myself?" Lei Juekun was deeply resentful of everyone's lack of cooperation. His eyes scanned the others again.
Everyone had their heads lowered, but Huang Baiming was the only one who didn't care. He looked at the magazine's promotional poster cover with great interest, as if he was very interested.
"Bai Ming!" Lei Juekun called Huang Bai Ming a little disgustingly, which made the latter a little creepy. "As the general manager of 'New Art City', why did Tsui Hark run away, and you didn't even give an explanation?"
You don’t even want to say anything? He and you are good friends, so why didn’t you notice anything when he found someone else? As the general manager, aren’t you being a bit irresponsible?”
He rolled his eyes at Lei Juekun and was very dissatisfied that Lei Juekun involved him. Huang Baiming was not Mai Jia, who had a close relationship with Lei Juekun, nor was he Shi Tian, a "good gentleman" who had interfered wantonly with Lei Juekun a long time ago.
I am very dissatisfied with the management affairs of "Xinyi City". This time I actually want to establish my authority by myself. How can Huang Baiming remain silent?
"Am I the general manager of 'New Art City'? When did I have the final right to make the final decision? Which movie was cast and which actors were selected? Was it me who had the final say?" Huang Baiming did not compromise at all and stood.
He got up and faced Lei Juekun directly. His resentment towards Lei Juekun in the past two years made him unhappy: "You are the boss of 'Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd.' and the major shareholder of 'Xinyi City'. You originally managed the company."
The affairs of the company are beyond criticism. But why don’t you think about how much you know about movies? Do you know how the movies are shot? But you just like to point fingers and give random directions. I am not afraid of offending you. In your eyes
There is only money. If it can make money for you, it is good. If it does not make money, it is bad. Making movies is not printing money. No one can guarantee that a movie will definitely make money."
Lei Juekun, Mai Jia and Shi Tian, as well as everyone who was doing it, all stared at the eruption of Huang Baiming in shock. Huang Baiming, who usually wore glasses and was gentle, did not expect that after the eruption, he would be so powerful. Lei Juekun was also shocked
He was stunned by the scolding and stood there motionless without even retorting.
"Now that Tsui Hark has left and you have produced such a movie, in the final analysis, isn't it all your fault? Ask Bald Man and Shi Tian, we originally approved the script of this movie long ago
, were also planning to invest funds to start filming. But just because you saw the huge profits of [Best Partner], you kicked out the cooperation that was supposed to be done.
The film's 'Tianchen Entertainment' wanted to be the sole proprietor of the film, which made the company's originally insufficient funds immediately tense. It even withdrew the funds promised to Tsui Hark, so that the film ended without any problem and Tsui Hark had to work hard for half a year.
, paid for it. Is this my fault again? Is this the responsibility that I, the general manager, should bear?"
In response to Huang Baiming's accusation, Lei Juekun was speechless. Only now did he remember such a thing. In fact, Tsui Hark's script and bold shooting method made Lei Juekun feel very risky. Since there was definitely money to be made.
[Best Partner] If you don’t want to shoot, why take the risk to shoot a film that you don’t know about the future? Not only did he reject the plan to increase the investment amount, but even Tsui Hark’s filming plan was completely canceled by him. Only then did Huang Baiming feel sorry for himself and help Xu Hark
Find another investor.
The atmosphere in the conference room was very dull, and everyone knew very well that after all, the perpetrator of this incident was actually Lei Juekun, who had no position and power in the "New Art City". But now he wants to
He found a lamb (scapegoat) in the company and pointed the finger at Huang Baiming. Huang Baiming, who had always been gentle and elegant, finally broke out, catching Mai Jia and Shi Tian off guard.
Lei Juekun is not a fool, he just takes interests too seriously, otherwise he would not be arbitrarily giving orders in the "New Art City". After he remembered this, he also knew that he was the perpetrator, but as a big boss
Shareholders, as big bosses,
He has always been arrogant, how can a person be humbled in front of everyone in the "New Art City" whom he considers to be his subordinates? Even if he knows that he is at fault, he wants to admit it, but his pride and status are not the same.
Allow him to do this.
"Pa" slapped his hand hard on the conference table. Lei Juekun's face was livid, his fingers were trembling and he pointed at Huang Baiming. His two thin lips were also trembling up and down, but he didn't say a word.
Mai Jia saw that something was wrong, although he was very dissatisfied with Huang Baiming's merciless accusation, because Huang Baiming was not only blaming Lei Juekun, but he was also blaming Mai Jia. Because he was also one of the people who made fun of Tsui Hark's filming plan.
.Now Huang Baiming’s momentum
It was absolutely rare, which made Mai Jia feel a little guilty, fearing that Huang Baiming would point the arrow at him. He quickly stood up and gave Shi Tian a look, but he supported Lei Juekun and massaged his heaving chest.
He also whispered something to Lei Juekun.
Of course Shi Tian knew that no one would be able to make things better if the situation continued like this. Lei Juekun would naturally hold a grudge against Huang Baiming, and Huang Baiming would also alienate Lei Juekun and Mai Jia. This would be of no benefit to the company or to individuals.
Good sir, the role of the peacemaker came into play again. Shi Tian stood up and pressed Huang Baiming's shoulders, and kept pressing Huang Baiming back to the chair. "Don't be impulsive, everyone, calm down. If you have something to say! We are all our own people, why bother?
Is it a tit-for-tat confrontation? There is no sound today
Discussing the conference is not the time to investigate responsibilities. The reason for our meeting is to see how to deal with this powerful [New Shushan Swordsman], instead of blaming each other here. No matter who is right or wrong, let’s deal with it
The opponent who has finally arrived is the most important thing at the moment.”
Huang Baiming sat down out of breath, without even looking at Lei Juekun and Mai Jia, and was very dissatisfied with what they did. Lei Juekun also sat down after Mai Jia's persuasion, but
Everyone can see the anger in his eyes. Everyone is worried about Huang Baiming. His life in "New Art City" may not be easy in the future.
Seeing that the atmosphere finally calmed down, Shi Tiancai spoke again: "I have read the script of this movie before. But now it seems that Tsui Hark and Wu Siyuan must have increased their investment. Judging from the publicity offensive, they have already
I have invested no less than a million, but I think this movie will be at least as good as
When we reviewed it before, the investment was a lot higher." Seeing that the eyes of Lei Juekun and Huang Baiming were attracted, Shi Tiancai was relieved and continued: "Actually, everyone doesn't have to worry about anything.
did very well, but what about the final result?
It depends on whether the audience will accept it or not. It doesn’t mean how good the publicity is that the film will be successful. And the most important thing is that according to the publicity, this film will be released during the Lunar New Year. It must be similar to the one we are currently filming [the most important thing]
The best partners show off their magical powers] fight against each other. But everyone doesn’t
Don't worry too much, the two films have different themes. Our "The Best Partner Shows Their Magical Powers" is high-tech and funny, while "New Shushan Swordsman" focuses on science fiction and martial arts. These two themes have different audience groups.
It won’t necessarily cause conflicts and thus share the box office.”
Mai Jia, who said nothing, interrupted at this moment: "This is just your estimate. During the Chinese New Year period, we, 'New Art City' and 'Shaw Brothers' were the only ones competing. Although Shaw Brothers has two films, they are not as good as ours."
[The best partner shows off his magical powers], basically
It’s not on the same level. But now that such a film suddenly appears, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the end? The only hope now is that Tsui Hark and Wu Siyuan can’t find enough theater support, so that they can’t
We pose a threat."
"Hmph! Bald man, you are so naive." What does Huang Baiming think now? Why does he feel that Mai Jia's bald head is dazzling? He said mockingly: "Wu Siyuan has obtained funds and has completed the acquisition of 'Broadway Cinemas'. Some independent...
Cinemas and small cinemas have been integrated. Although there is still some distance from the 'Golden Princess', 'Shao Brothers' and 'Golden Harvest' cinemas, the distance is very small. If you are counting on this, save it!"
