Chapter 436: Sleeping with the heroine after having more than one child?
Quietly, time is passing slowly and the whole March is about to pass.

Although several domestic films released in the circle often fall below tens of millions at the box office, they can still continue. At this time, an art film broke out of the schedule.

After the Hong Kong film "A Simple Life" was released, it became the box office champion of the day with a box office of 1300 million.

Director Ann Hui finally got her revenge this time, and Andy Lau's reputation as a "box office poison" was also reduced a lot.

"The movie is good, but the promotional method is also unique and worth learning."

After watching the promotional strategy of the movie "A Simple Life", many filmmakers in the industry really want to give a thumbs up to the distributor. This set of word-of-mouth publicity and techniques are worth learning.

You must know that "Sister Peach" debuted at the Venice Film Festival last September and won unanimous praise from the media and film critics. The heroine Ye Dexian was also awarded the Venice Best Actress for the film. However, the distributor did not "strike while the iron is hot." It was released in mainland China at that time.

The reason is that awards at international film festivals now have little stimulating effect on box office, and they hope to use the accumulation of word-of-mouth fermentation to catalyze box office.

Subsequently, at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards ceremony at the end of November last year, "A Simple Life" won three major awards for "Best Director", "Best Actor" and "Best Actress", but the distributor remained on the sidelines and continued to ferment word of mouth.

Sure enough, once the film was released, the box office exceeded 10 million in a single day, making the investors and producers smile with joy.

"Restarting the glory of Hong Kong films, A Simple Life will set a record for the highest box office of Hong Kong art films."

Wenhui Daily gave it a very high evaluation.

The media in Hong Kong Island is in an uproar. After so many years, there is finally a movie worth hyping up.

At the same time, in Bona Company.

Yu Dong discussed with the directors the subsequent celebration banquet for "A Simple Life".

After some discussion, Yu Dong personally came to the China Film Studio and personally invited Gu Wei to attend the celebration banquet.

"Haha, Director Gu, I hope I didn't disturb your filming."

As soon as he arrived at the shooting site, Yu Dong had a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.

"Mr. Yu, congratulations, the box office is a big hit."

The distributor of "A Simple Life" is Bona Film Group. It has to be said that after "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", Bona's momentum in the industry is getting stronger and stronger, and it is showing signs of surpassing Huayi.

Yu Dong waved his hands and said modestly: "Hey, hey, compared with Director Gu, our box office is not even up to par."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while before Yu Dong explained his purpose. "Director Gu, we are holding a celebration banquet in a few days. You can come over if you are free. Many directors and actors in the industry will be participating. Everyone wants to meet you, Director Gu."

Yu Dong understood this very well when he worked in the system, and he applied it to the fullest extent after he started his own company.

After all, in his opinion, relationships between people are accumulated bit by bit, otherwise there would be no friendship.

"Forget it. I won't go since I'm busy with the filming here. Besides, it would cost a lot of money if the crew is delayed for a day." Gu Wei shook his head and declined politely. He just didn't want to join in the fun.

There is no need to guess, most of the people who will go there will definitely be Hong Kong artists, and Gu Wei will have nothing to say to them.

Hearing this, Yu Dong did not force it. As long as the invitation was in place, it would be enough.

.........

What is coming cannot be avoided, and the situation of New Picture in the circle is becoming increasingly difficult.

Zhang Weiping felt unbalanced as he watched Zhang Yimou continue to live a comfortable life after joining Xingchen Film and Television Company.

In his words, "I can't even make it on my own, so what else should I care about?"

Later, on Weibo.

"He Jun accused Zhang Yimou of hypocrisy and said there was an inside story behind his dismissal"

"Zhang Yimou was revealed to have remarried: Zhang Yimou was written as the father's name on the admission cards of his three children."

As soon as it came out on Weibo, it became a hot search in an instant.

Artist He Jun posted three Weibo posts revealing that Zhang Yimou remarried and had a child.

It caused shock in the circle for a while.

The stabbing incident was still controversial, but suddenly, another big news came out, which was really unexpected.

If it was anyone else, there wouldn't be such a big fuss, but this person is Zhang Yimou, a film star who is well-known both at home and abroad.

In the crew of "The Wandering Earth", Gu Wei continued to immerse himself in the filming. In the end, Zhou Xun and others were the first to discover the news, and only then did Gu Wei see the post on Weibo.

"Zhang Weiping finally couldn't help it."

Gu Wei sneered secretly at this time, and then thought about how to deal with it.

"Director Gu, are all these things on the Internet true?" Yang Zi at the side couldn't help but ask.

Gu Wei just stared at the other person, and after a while he said unhappily, "Whether it's true or not is none of your business, the important thing is to film the movie honestly."

Seeing Gu Wei getting angry, Yang Zi couldn't help but stick out her tongue. However, Zhou Xun was considerate enough to pull Yang Zi away, saying a few words to her as they walked away.

Words like "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask" and "Why ask so many questions" were faintly heard.

Gu Wei was still in deep thought when he suddenly received a call from Liu Yifei.

"Senior, take a look at the entertainment gossip. It's full of negative news about Director Zhang."

The young lady said anxiously. After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei picked up his phone and flipped through it. Sure enough, it was gossip news.

"Director Zhang and Ms. Gong were so affectionate as if no one was around."

"In the middle of the night in 07, Zhang Ziyi and Director Zhang stayed alone in their room for two days and two nights."

"Mou's actress and director Zhang from "The Hawthorn Tree" were in a mess and stayed alone in the room for a day and a night."

"Mou's actress from "The Flowers of War" and Director Zhang spent three days and three nights together in the villa."

Each entry is clearly organized and the time, place, and play are all clearly written, as if someone had seen it with their own eyes, and it is written with details and details.

"Bang." Gu Wei threw the phone away and his face turned pale.

Zhang Yimou is one of the few great directors in China. If this kind of news is released in large quantities, no matter how many people believe it, the impact it causes will be very bad, and it is intended to destroy the other party's reputation.

Hollywood, Rising Star Films.

At this moment, Leonardo was sitting on the sofa in the office, drinking coffee leisurely. In his hand, he was holding a script, which he was reading carefully.

After a long time, when Leonardo put down the script, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before, but serious.

"Leon, this is a script written by the boss himself. How about it? Not bad, right?"

Ryder stood up and walked to the other side and spoke.

“A very wonderful script. I have to admit that Gu’s talent is indeed amazing!”

After a pause, Leonardo made his comment. It was obvious that he was immersed in the script just now.

"By the way, Ryder, when will Gu be able to find time to shoot this movie?"

"Oh, sorry, Leon, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you. The boss is busy with the movie he's working on now, and he won't be available until the end of the year at the earliest, or even the first half of next year."

After Reid finished speaking, he spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice but to obey the boss in terms of time.

"Fortunately, I don't have to wait too long." Leonardo held the script in his hand and muttered to himself, "Maybe this is the closest I'll ever get to an Oscar."

Even before filming started, Leonardo already had this feeling, because this script really does have such value.

"By the way, Leon, let me tell you a little bit of inside information. The boss has also written a movie script for domestic director Zhang Yimou, which should also be used to compete for the Oscars."

Reid said with a smile. The reason why he knew this was that Gu Wei revealed it to him in advance. Not only was it news about the script, but Gu Wei also asked Reid to find a suitable public relations team in advance, aiming for the Oscars.

Sure enough, after hearing what Reid said, Leonardo thought of many things in his mind in an instant. After a while, Leonardo shook his head and smiled, and whispered, "Then let Zhang go and try the power of Gu's script first."

...

In China, the Zhang Yimou incident is escalating.

When Lao Mouzi learned that Gu Wei was angry, he found Gu Wei immediately and advised him to calm down.

"Brother, it's not that I'm not calm, this is a slap in the face of the company.

Besides, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible and cannot be delayed."

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou nodded, and then he wanted to get some money from the company to pay the fine for having more children than allowed.

Hearing this, Gu Wei was a little bit unbelievable. As a big director who had been making movies for decades, he couldn't even pay a fine. It was conceivable how harshly Zhang Weiping exploited him.

Subsequently, the official Weibo account of Xingchen Film and Television Company posted a message, stating that the innocent will be cleared, and that those who spread rumors and leaked information will be prosecuted immediately. The company will also sue to recover the remuneration owed to Director Zhang by Zhang Weiping of New Picture.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yimou also issued a statement saying that he was willing to accept the punishment for having more children than allowed and that people should be punished for doing wrong, but the rumors about him and the "Mou Girls" were pure slander.

On the other hand, several artists from Huayi Company, including Li Chen, Du Chun, Li Xiaolu and others, showed joy and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing what happened to Zhang Yimou. God knows how difficult it was for them during this period.

Unfortunately, if you don't seek death, you won't die. When interviewed, several people were smart and made some comments, saying that even big directors can make mistakes, let alone them, and they also hope that fans can understand.

Whether the fans understand or not, they don’t know.

After seeing the news, Gu Wei directly stated that he would never cooperate with these people with bad character in the future.

Subsequently, major companies such as Wanda Pictures, Light Media, Bona Films, and Emperor Entertainment Group followed suit, expressing their agreement with Director Gu's opinion, and some even suggested banning these people.

"boom."

"Don't these people have brains? Did they all grow up eating shit?"

In the office, Wang Zhonglei got angry and smashed several pieces of porcelain.

"Mr. Wang, what should we do now?" Li Xue asked with a grim expression.

“What should we do? Go and apologize. If you can’t be forgiven, prepare to quit the circle.”

Wang Zhonglei waved his hands irritably. He urgently needed to calm down at this moment.
