Chapter 674
As for the popcorn website opening a separate section for all film and television academies, the three of them decided in just a few words and did not argue over whether to open a separate section for the Yanjing Film Academy.
Both the old dean and Zhao Xu understood that whether it was Popcorn.com or other websites, it was simply impossible to have a special section for Yanjing Film Academy and reject other film and television academies for a long time.
In this case, they didn't say much more.
However, at Zhao Xu's request, Yang Ming still agreed to give his school a chance to take the lead. Within the previous week, only students from Yanjing Film School could upload videos to this special page.
As for the future, let’s let the level of students from each college determine the outcome.
If it doesn't work, just follow what Yang Ming said and let him shoot a video himself to support the Yanjing Film Academy.
After a while, Zhao Xu said goodbye and left because he had something to do. Only Yang Ming and the old dean were left in the office.
"It seems that your two movies made Zhonghuang Entertainment very angry, and they even resorted to Hollywood co-production methods!" The old dean glanced at Yang Ming and said.
Yang Ming coughed lightly again, laughed twice, and said nothing.
You can't blame him. Every time, Zhonghuang Entertainment targets him first. Zhonghuang Entertainment thought it would slap him to death, but who knew it would hit him hard? Who can be blamed?
"Don't you have anything to say?" The old dean frowned and asked. He doesn't regard Yang Ming as a student at all now. Who has ever seen a student push a giant in the entertainment industry to this point?
At least for so many years, the old dean has not seen him.
"What can I say from a humble position?" Yang Ming said with an inexplicable smile, "However, I think this time Zhonghuang Entertainment did such a thing, why did those people who often promoted righteousness in the media in the past remain silent?
?As long as those people uphold justice, we can make our own movie."
"Ahem!" The old dean almost choked at Yang Ming's words. He finally understood what his student's temper was like.
Even though Yang Ming is usually harmless and harmonious with others, the first thing is that you don't offend him, especially don't target him for no reason, otherwise he will have an undying temper as long as he gets angry.
He knew clearly that the people Yang Ming was talking about were celebrities in the film industry who liked to act upright in the media, point fingers at others, and make irresponsible remarks. One of them was even a teacher at his own college.
Yang Ming has been criticized by many of these people, especially Yang Ming's first two alternative love movies, which have been criticized and criticized by these people.
Therefore, although Yang Ming's two movies were a hit at the box office, some people in the film industry did not have a very good impression. They believed that Yang Ming's alternative views were contrary to tradition and should not be forgotten under any circumstances.
The two sentences mocking Yang Ming have to some extent affected the views of some film awards on these two films.
It is impossible to say that Yang Ming has no thoughts in his heart. It's just that he has been busy with his own affairs and has no good opportunity to vent them.
It seems that this student will definitely not be able to bear it anymore, the old dean thought to himself.
"Okay, you should focus on your movie. I didn't expect that the first movie with a production cost of 500 million was actually shot by people from our college." The old dean said with both sigh and excitement.
"It's not the first one now, it's said to be 600 million." Yang Ming smacked his lips and said.
"You!" The old dean touched Yang Ming with his finger, "Don't worry, as long as your movie is indeed better than the other person's, some people will definitely give you an explanation!"
Yang Ming stopped talking after hearing this. He couldn't help but guess in his heart that there must be many people who couldn't stand Bai Chongshi's method of attracting wolves into the house, but they couldn't do anything now.
After all, in the past, we were not allowed to co-produce movies with Hollywood. It was just an unspoken rule that no one could explain, not an explicit rule.
Is this action of Zhonghuang Entertainment legal or unreasonable? Besides, one can also say that introducing joint ventures may be the right way to save local films!
At least, Yang Ming knew in his previous life that many local film companies did this. Many domestic theater companies even invested in Hollywood to shoot blockbusters and then went to China to make money.
What is even more excessive is the release of 3 special movies specifically for the Chinese film market. The same movie is rated 2 abroad, but in China it is rated 3!
This is not because Hollywood pays special attention to our domestic audiences, but because our Chinese audiences are easy to deceive out of their money.
People with money are stupid. This is the image that Hollywood movies have on our domestic audiences.
At night, when the lights first come on, the flashing neon lights make Yanjing as lively as it is during the day.
"Cheers to our successful cooperation!"
"cheers!"
In a private room of the five-star hotel where Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment announced their joint venture for filming, several people raised their glasses and gave celebratory blessings.
"Zhang, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, there would be no successful cooperation." Coakley said kindly to a young man not far away with a smile on his face.
Of course Coakley is happy. Which Hollywood film company is not coveting China's film market?
However, the number of Hollywood films introduced into the Chinese film market every year is limited. This is different from the distribution of Chinese films in the United States. The two countries have fundamentally different systems.
As Hollywood blockbusters are increasingly recognized by Chinese audiences, as long as they are not too bad, they can make a lot of money in the Chinese film market. It can be said that all Hollywood film companies are in order to be able to be released in the Chinese film market every year.
The number of movies released is overwhelming.
However, there is no such restriction on joint venture shooting. However, all Chinese film companies have reached a consensus to boycott joint venture shooting of Hollywood movies. Over the past few years, no relatively large film company has agreed to joint venture shooting with Hollywood.
Coakley knew that when Barber was the general manager of Pan American Entertainment, he had also racked his brains to break into the Chinese film market, but he still had not succeeded.
However, now that Coakley has done it, compared to Barber's failure, he is now full of a sense of accomplishment, and he can even clearly feel that the way he is viewed within the company has changed significantly compared to before.
And the young man called "Zhang" by Coakley is naturally Zhang Ziqing, Miss Zhang.
"Being harmonious makes money, and I've also invested in it!" Zhang Ziqing narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile.
Hearing Zhang Ziqing's words, Bai Chongshi, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly. He looked up at Zhang Ziqing. His face was a little pale, and it was obvious that the other person couldn't help but drink. His flat hair, maybe it was because the other person had just passed away.
It was because of being released from prison that I grew a diandian.
Bai Chongshi knew very well that this time Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment were able to reach a joint venture agreement, and what role Zhang Shao played in it.
It can be said that if Mr. Zhang had not been the matchmaker, and even used some family connections to make Zhonghuang Entertainment bow, this cooperation would not have been possible.
At least Bai Chongshi himself is not so stupid that he would not hesitate to destroy Zhonghuang Entertainment's reputation in the domestic film industry in order to retaliate against Yang Ming. Zhonghuang Entertainment is now in a position of being surrounded and condemned by public opinion.
The original rule of boycotting Hollywood joint venture filming was a consensus reached by most domestic film companies, but now Zhonghuang Entertainment has taken the lead in abandoning its previous commitments, which can be said to have betrayed the entire Chinese film industry.
This is simply fatal to Zhonghuang Entertainment.
Although Bai Chongshi has used various means to minimize the pressure of external public opinion, he knows that this kind of suppression cannot last long. Once it breaks out, Zhonghuang Entertainment will inevitably be hit hard.
It is impossible to say that Bai Chongshi has no opinion of Zhang Ziqing.
Zhang Ziqing may have felt the way Bai Zhongshi looked at him. He raised his head and looked at Bai Zhongshi with a smile, and then said: "Member Coakley, let us toast Mr. Bai together. Without his cooperation, this cooperation would not have been possible."
success."
Seeing a trace of madness deep in Zhang Ziqing's eyes, Bai Zhongshi knew that the other party had gone crazy for revenge.
Just think about the kid from an aristocratic family who has always been praised by everyone and respected wherever he goes. Now, no matter where he goes, he can feel strange looks in his eyes, just because he has one more experience, he has been in prison.
In jail, a criminal, a person who breaks the law!
When a person has this extra status, let alone a child of a noble family, even ordinary people cannot stand the strange eyes of the world.
Bai Chongshi could guess Zhang Ziqing's true thoughts and sighed helplessly in his heart. If it was because the other party was still wearing the skin of the Zhang family, some shareholders of Zhonghuang Entertainment would never force him to make such a decision.
"Haha, cheers!" Bai Chongshi raised his glass and said with a calm expression. At this point, he could only face reality and minimize the impact.
He didn't put himself in a life-or-death situation just for personal grudges.
The dinner party ended with countless compliments. On the surface, the atmosphere seemed very harmonious, but behind the scenes, only the devil knows.
Luo Tianwen also attended the dinner, but he mostly kept talking and exchanging things with Steven, the male protagonist in the movie.
He also felt some strange atmosphere. As the emperor and superstar of China, he was of course very clear about the domestic film industry's rules of boycotting Hollywood joint ventures. Although he didn't know what made Zhonghuang Entertainment make such a decision, he
In order to increase his international influence and reputation, he joined without hesitation, despite his agent's persuasion to think carefully.
At this time, everyone walked out of the room. Coakley and Steven did not leave the hotel. They were resting in the hotel and would fly back to the United States tomorrow.
Bai Chongshi and Zhang Ziqing walked together and prepared to leave.
The two walked out of the hotel door and breathed in the fresh air outside. Bai Chongshi turned to Zhang Ziqing and said inexplicably: "Some people can't get up after failing in one or two movies, because they grow up too fast. At least
Now I don’t think that doing this will allow you to achieve the goal you have in mind!”
After saying this, Bai Chongshi got into the car and left alone, leaving Zhang Ziqing standing alone at the door of the hotel.
After a while, Zhang Ziqing snorted coldly: "Really?"
Chapter completed!
