Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Xiao Yuanyang said: "It's "Infernal Affairs". I'm honored to tell you that your play didn't pass."

Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise: "Why?"

Xiao Yuanyang said: "I watched your movie, and to be honest, it's really good. What I watched was tense, exciting, and absolutely good. But you can't kill the good guys in the end and let the bad guys get away with it." Ah, this is too inappropriate. It is impossible for such an ending to pass the trial."

Xiao Yunhai argued: "Boss, do you really understand the meaning of the movie? The so-called Infernal Affairs is a hell where you will be punished forever, and every moment is suffering. Good people die, that is liberation. Bad people Not dying is suffering, didn't you see Ye Yongren's eyes at the end? That's envy, okay?"

Xiao Yuanyang said: "Don't talk to me about these things. Anyway, I only saw the good policeman die, while the bad policeman presided over the funeral of the good policeman in a grand manner. Our film and television bureau cannot accept this ending. Other plots are Yes, but this point must be changed, there is no room for negotiation.”

Xiao Yunhai sighed: "My creativity is pitiful. You bureaucrats don't understand movies at all."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunhai took out another film from his bag, and said, "This is another ending I changed. The good and the bad are all dead, so it's okay."

Xiao Yuanyang pointed at Xiao Yunhai, and scolded with a smile: "Your kid's ghost is really not good. Before, you guessed that the movie would not pass, right? It's just that you are lucky, thinking that if you pass, then You can't use this version anymore, can you?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "That's right. However, the first version is the best, and I will show it in theaters in other Asian countries. As for the second version, it will be screened in China alone." .”

Xiao Yuanyang smiled and said, "You are really smart."

He picked up the phone and called Liu Yi, the newly appointed director of the review department, and asked him to take Xiao Yunhai's second version to review.

The result came out quickly, and it was approved with only two words.

Chapter 655 Huaxia Propaganda

Xiao Yunhai took the film and walked out of the film and television bureau building with a depressed expression on his face

Before he got in the car, the phone rang, and when he opened it, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hi, hello, I'm Xiao Yunhai."

A magnetic voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Xiao, hello, I'm Ren Jiwen, the manager of Starlight Cinema. I don't know if you still remember me?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed loudly, and said, "Mr. Ren, look at what you said, can I forget you?"

The two exchanged polite words, Ren Jiwen said: "Mr. Xiao, I wonder if you are free now, I would like to treat you to a cup of tea."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "No problem."

The news that Xiao Yunhai likes to drink tea and dislikes to drink coffee did not know when it spread.Later, anyone who came to him for business basically invited him to drink tea.

When he came to the teahouse agreed with Ren Jiwen, Xiao Yunhai saw Ren Jiwen sitting by the window at a glance.

Xiao Yunhai walked over, shook hands with him, sat across from him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, why do you have time to treat me to tea when you are so busy?"

Ren Jiwen poured him a glass and said, "Mr. Xiao, I've invited you here this time to discuss with us. Can you let us show your new movie "Infernal Affairs" at Starlight Cinema?"

Xiao Yunhai showed such an expression as expected, and said: "Mr. Ren, you are too well informed. My movie just passed the review, and you came here. It seems that there are also friends of yours at the Film and Television Bureau." .”

Ren Jiwen smiled indifferently and said, "It's not just me, I'm afraid the other two theaters also have their own people. If you want to seize the opportunity, you need some means, which is normal. Mr. Xiao, as long as you give the film to We show it in Starlight Cinema, and I can give you an [-]% rebate."

"Eight percent?" Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise, "Why?"

Ren Jiwen said without any concealment: "Recently, not only our Xingguang, but also Baihua and Huafeng's life is not very easy."

It turned out that after the Huaxia Cinema was divided up by those foreigners, in the past month, the three major private movie theaters

The theater came to a dilemma where there were no films to release.

They used to be able to operate theaters by introducing Hollywood blockbusters, but now the major Hollywood film companies have their own theaters. For the sake of profit, they will naturally not hand over movies to Ren Jiwen and the others.

There is no way, the three major theaters can only use domestic films to resist the aggressive attacks of Hollywood and other countries' films. Unfortunately, except for a few three or four films that have achieved good box office, most of them have failed.

Starlight Cinema's market share originally accounted for 15.00%, but now it has plummeted to [-]%, and the other two theaters are not much better.

Ren Jiwen had long been following Xiao Yunhai's "Infernal Affairs" filmed by the three major movie stars and two queen actresses, but he didn't expect the film to be completed so quickly.

It took only six days to shoot all the scenes of a movie, which made Ren Jiwen feel a little worried.

He has a very good relationship with Yu Yuexian, so he called Yu Yuexian to ask about his opinion on the movie.

Yu Yuexian told him, don't believe the rumors on the Internet, "Infernal Affairs" is definitely a classic among the classics of Chinese movies, and it is even more exciting than "Jing Wu Heroes".

When Ren Jiwen heard it, he couldn't bear it.

He asked for Xiao Yunhai's mobile phone number from Yu Yuexian, and after learning that the film and television bureau had approved it, he immediately called Xiao Yunhai.

Ren Jiwen took a sip of tea and sighed: "Mr. Xiao, our domestic films are now in a very dangerous situation. If this continues, there may be serious problems."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "The reason why I insisted on shooting this "Infernal Affairs" when I was working on "Inception" is to prove to everyone that our domestic films can beat Hollywood blockbusters. Mr. Ren, we Sign it."

Ren Jiwen said in surprise: "Mr. Xiao is willing to hand over the movie to Starlight Cinema, Ren is really grateful."

As he said that, he took out two signed agreements from his briefcase. Xiao Yunhai looked at them carefully, brushed them, and signed his name on the back.

Xiao Yunhai handed Ren Jiwen a contract and said, "I'm going to premiere "Infernal Affairs" on February [-], Mr. Ren, how much do you plan to schedule for me?"

Ren Jiwen said: "60.00%."

Xiao Yunhai chuckled, and said: "You are cruel enough."

Starlight Cinema has a total of 500 yuan screens across the country, 60.00% of which is more than 300 yuan.

Ren Jiwen gave him so much all at once, which shows that Starlight Cinema is really impatient.

Xiao Yunhai took out the film and handed it to Ren Jiwen, saying: "This is the master film, you can take it and copy it now. Alas, the first version was more exciting, but unfortunately it did not pass the review of the Film and Television Bureau. There is no way, we You can only use this second version."

Upon hearing this, Ren Jiwen asked in surprise, "Why didn't the first version pass?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Because the ending is that the bad guys live and the good guys die. Hehe, Mr. Ren, you can watch it carefully when you go back. I guarantee that you will fall in love with this movie immediately after watching it."

The two chatted for a while about the promotion of the film, and then they left.

After Ren Jiwen went back, he immediately watched the movie again.

After watching it, he called Xiao Yunhai excitedly, and said, "Mr. Xiao, your movie is absolutely amazing. It is the most classic and unexpected movie I have ever seen. Starlight Cinema will definitely do our best efforts to publicize it."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Ren."

Next, Xiao Yunhai handed over the promotion of the film to Han Hai, and then called Liang Hui and the others, asking them to cooperate in the promotion.

That night, he handed over his elaborate trailer of "Infernal Affairs" to Xianyue Video Network.For his movie trailer, Man Wenbin naturally placed it in the most prominent position on the homepage.

What made Xiao Yunhai happy was that the trailer had just been released, and in just one hour, the number of hits reached 320 million.

Xiao Yunhai's trailer is only 2 minutes long, and some classic shots are selected, especially the scenes between the two of them. Although it is only a glimpse, it still makes fans hooked.
