Chapter 200 Rectification

Chapter 200 Rectification
Some careful netizens discovered that "Nanjing! Nanjing!", which was originally scheduled to be released on the 22nd, announced that it would be postponed.

The reason given was that the film's content had issues and needed to be reviewed. The film's screening license was revoked and the specific release date is to be determined.

This caused an uproar in the circle.

Lu Chuan was called to the General Administration, and then the movie incident seemed as if nothing had happened.

The release date has not been determined and the film cannot continue to be promoted, but there are still occasional posts on the Internet, most of which are praiseworthy.

"Restore the historical pain truthfully."

"The cruelty of war can make everyone cherish the peaceful times we have now."

...

"You, China Film Group suffered a heavy loss this time. Don't forget China Film Group if you have any Hollywood projects in the future."

After the matter was resolved, Han Sanping called, his tone full of heartache.

"Haha, China Film Group made a lot of money before."

Hearing Gu Wei mention this, Han Sanping smiled awkwardly. China Film Corporation only invested 80 million yuan in Lu Chuan's film, and Gu Wei's several films had already helped them make back the money.

Furthermore, when this movie was promoted to the public, it was said that the largest investor was Star Media, but when the news came out, the other party was completely stunned.

It was a good investment in a movie, but it ended up like this. The project manager is probably about to be fired.

"Didn't Lu Chuan ask for help?"

"It's no use looking for it. The General Administration has personally issued an order to either ban the film permanently or re-edit it and re-shoot what needs to be re-shot. It can only be released after the re-shooting passes the review."

Hearing what Han Sanping said, Gu Wei nodded.

Yes, with such a huge investment, the investors will definitely not leave it alone. Even if they reshoot some scenes, it probably won't cost much. Compared with the cost already spent, it's a drop in the bucket.

No matter what, Gu Wei was still very satisfied that China Film Corporation agreed to ban the film this time.

"There's also 'Inception' in the second half of the year. The box office of this movie will not be bad, and China Film Group will not lose money on its investment."

“Can it reach the box office of Interstellar?”

Speaking of "Interstellar", Han Sanping was full of energy. The global box office was close to 12 billion US dollars, which is more than billion yuan in RMB.

"I want to eat shit."

I can't help but think of these words in my mind. There are only a few movies that have grossed over 1 billion US dollars worldwide. How can it be achieved so easily? This thing is not something that can be found everywhere.

"There's definitely no hope of getting one billion, but a few hundred million is still possible."

This gave Han Sanping a reassurance, and the other party felt much more at ease.

"I think there will be some problems with Ning Hao's movie when it's reviewed and released."

On the phone, the other party paused for a while and then continued.

Gu Wei also thought about this.

After all, Lu Chuan is a director with some status in the country. Not to mention his father, there are many so-called teachers and elders. Even if they cannot defeat Gu Wei openly, it is normal for them to trip him up secretly.

But Gu Wei did not regret it. He believed that there would always be a way out when the time came, and it would not be too late to solve the problem then.

The omnipotent netizens know everything. Within two days of the incident, they had figured out everything.

The so-called big investment, high cost and big names are nothing in front of him, an international director.

I’m convinced. This time I’m completely convinced.

"Boss, you should rest at home for the next two days. The company is surrounded by reporters and there are too many people who want to interview."

Gu Wei was not surprised when he received Wang Chen's call. He planned to lie down at home until the premiere began.

He would definitely not admit it to the reporter's face. No matter what the outside world speculated, Gu Wei did not want to leave the impression of a bully in the eyes of the audience.

"Director, you are awesome."

Ning Hao called directly and started to flatter him.

Gu Wei did not hide it, and Tao Ran accepted it. Some people really need to be taught a lesson. The domestic media have criticized some of the domestic systems many times.

There are many malicious and brainless people on the Internet. If no one takes the lead in doing some things, it will be a mess afterwards.

...

The media reporters couldn’t find Gu Wei, so they went to block Jiang Wen.

The other party grinned during the interview. When the reporter asked him if he was making fun of director Lu Chuan, Jiang Wen replied no.

"My latest movie is in preparation, I'm a little too happy to hold back, haha."

Now it was the reporter's turn to be helpless. He knew why the other party was so happy, but the other party didn't give a direct answer. What could he do?
However, anyone who can be a reporter, or an entertainment reporter, has some skills.

If you don't answer, we can make it up.

Maybe the audience would like the content he wrote more. Now the reporters found their direction, and suddenly there were more reports about this incident. Many articles were full of fantasy, which made Gu Wei stunned.

“I didn’t even know I was so awesome.”

In the villa, holding Liu Yifei in his arms, Gu Wei saw the media reports and complained.

"Haha, that's a bit exaggerated."

Liu Yifei knew the truth and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't move."

After saying that, he slapped Gu Wei's hand that was extended to him.

...

Dealing with Lu Chuan may be a big deal or a small deal for Gu Wei, but he still has to continue with the rest of the work.

Time comes on the 18th.

Gu Wei took all the main creative staff to carry out the final promotional event at the headquarters of Guangxian Company, where Wang Changtian arranged an interview specifically for him.

"Mr. Wang, we're in trouble." The show hadn't started yet, and Chen Daoming, Zhang Kaili and Su Chang were still on their way.

Gu Wei brought Liu Yifei to the Guangxian headquarters to talk to Wang Changtian.

"Director Gu, you are too polite. Guangguang is responsible for the film distribution, and this is part of our duties."

In the office, Wang Changtian received them cheerfully.

After chatting for a while, the interview officially began with the arrival of several leading actors.

The person in charge of the interview was Xie Nan. Gu Wei had met her a few times but was not very familiar with her.

But Liu Yifei was very familiar with her, and the two began to whisper as soon as they met, and laughed from time to time.

"Director Gu, teachers, let's get started."

"Okay, let's get started."

At the recording site, as the machine debugging was completed, the on-site staff made a gesture and the recording began.

"Director Gu, why did you come up with the idea of ​​making a movie about dogs?"

At the interview site, Gu Wei was sitting on the sofa, next to him were Liu Yifei and others.

Xie Nan took the question topics that had been discussed in advance, in order to avoid some sensitive questions from arising and causing interruptions in the recording.

"I had this idea a long time ago. There are many films of this type abroad. I think our country should also have a film to promote rural dogs. Some scenery is not unique to the outside world.

Another reason might be Yifei. She likes cats and dogs. I think this movie was made because of her.”

Is this an alternative confession? As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Nan showed a playful smile, and the people around her were similar.

The person involved, Gu Wei, didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If it weren't for Liu Yifei, he would definitely not touch this kind of subject matter for the time being, at least not in China.

The following questions were mostly about the feelings of the main actors, as well as some interesting things that happened during the filming.

"I loved those dogs so much that I took two home..."

“Did you have any difficulty filming?”

"Most of the shots were about dogs. Fortunately, I had received training in advance..."

"When Director Gu showed me the script, I accepted it without hesitation."

"What are the box office expectations?"

"Of course the more the better, haha."

...

Online, the film "Robot", which was launched not long ago, has been completed.

At the wrap-up ceremony, even the release date was set: August.

“This is the movie that’s billed as a science fiction blockbuster?”

“Only three months are left for post-production.”

"As we all know, Hong Kong directors make a lot of money."

Gu Wei has no control over what netizens talk about.

The TV series invested by Xingchen Film and Television Company, "My Captain, My Regiment", was aired on Capital TV in late March. After being broadcast for more than half a month, the ratings exploded.

Since its premiere, the drama has dominated the screen for 21 consecutive days and has always ranked first in the ratings of prime-time TV dramas.

The price for the second round of broadcasting rights is still being negotiated, and people from Sichuan and Zhejiang provinces have come to discuss.

"Kang Honglei's latest work, the mainland version of Band of Brothers."

"In the true sense of the anti-Japanese drama, there is no real protagonist, and life is stimulated by the war to show all kinds of emotional aspects."

"This drama explains clearly why we were almost destroyed as a country, but it also explains clearly why our country did not perish despite being attacked like that."

Online, along with the TV series, there are also netizens’ word of mouth and reviews.

In April, the TV series "The Disguiser" starring Sun Honglei, Yao Chen, Zu Feng and others was broadcast.

This TV series is Sun Honglei's representative work and also a pinnacle of domestic spy war dramas.

In the field of domestic spy war dramas, we cannot say that there will be no successors, but at least it is certain that there have been no predecessors.

At the same time, Zhouyi Company, one of the giants in the field of TV dramas, announced that it will launch three TV dramas this year.

Among them are "The Legend of Aunt Bao" and "The Imperial Court Hero".

The leading actors will definitely be Yu Bo and Yang Junyi, and among the actors announced to the public are Zhao Liying and others from Huayi.

Unfortunately, the mainland entertainment industry is developing, capital is rampant, and all kinds of popular stars have emerged, so Zhou Yi’s previous methods are no longer effective.

Few TV stations buy the TV series produced, and even if they do, the asking price is very low, which means the TV series are in a loss-making state.

If no one buys, there will be no profit, and if there is no profit, there will be no future. This is a vicious circle.

This can be seen from the launch conference of Zhouyi. There were very few media present, not many guests, and almost no first-tier stars. Most of them were second-tier and unknown.

The online reports also only mentioned it in one sentence.

Gu Wei, who learned the news, asked Wang Chen to contact them first. He didn't think highly of the scale of Zhou Yi Company, but he was envious of those skilled TV drama producers.

Although Xingchen Film and Television Company is also cultivating talents in this area, it started relatively late.

First of all, there is no suitable director.

Secondly, there is too little experience in this area.

The means of capital is that the big fish eat the small fish. Instead of watching it go bankrupt, it is better to acquire it.

"Boss, leave it to me. They won't last long. If they can't cater to the market, they will be eliminated."
