Chapter 94: Association, Mr. Ma Who Has Maxed Out His Bewitching Skills

Under normal circumstances, associations rarely hold general meetings, except for a few fixed meetings each year.

This time, for the matter of "The Promise", something special was done.

In fact, at this point, it is indeed no longer a matter of Chen Kaige's family. Once this prank sets a precedent, it is estimated that many people will be affected in the future.

"Which side are you on?"

Ning Hao asked.

As you can guess, the theme of this meeting is not only to defend Chen Kaige's "The Promise", but also to defend most filmmakers.

From the perspective of interests and standpoints, the 20-minute steamed bun short film not only challenged "The Promise", but will most likely challenge every movie, TV series, director, and crew released in the future.

"Are there any options?" Lin Nan said.

"What's the meaning?"

"Even if you support the editor in your heart, our identities and professions naturally side with the industry. His provocation of "The Promise" is a minor matter. There are many people in the association who feel bitter."

Those present today are directors, screenwriters, actors, film companies, production plants, etc. Naturally, everyone is on the same front.

Director Chen Kaige spoke very loudly and bluntly said that this kind of person is extremely shameless. He deliberately, maliciously and wantonly blackmails his own works, seriously infringing on his reputation, interests, copyrights, etc.

“I hope colleagues here can understand that this kind of thing only happens zero times and countless times.

Next time your movie is released, will you be able to accept it being maliciously edited and wantonly smeared online? Can this industry and industry still develop well? "

There was silence at first, and then there was noisy discussion.

Lin Nan and Ning Hao could clearly hear that many people supported Chen Kaige.

"This is a personal act, and public opinion is on the side of the editor. I would like to ask everyone, even if we agree with Director Chen's opinion, what can the association and us do?"

Lu Chuan was still fierce and took the lead. He was also a second generation.

"But from a legal perspective, his behavior infringed on Director Chen's rights and interests, as well as those of China Film Group." Someone else said.

Lin Nan saw the presence of the old god Zhang Yimou and sat motionless.

Feng Xiaogang's eyes were wandering, and he obviously had thoughts.

"I think the media is also fanning the flames. These online behaviors should also be more closely managed. The association needs to negotiate with the bureau on this matter and let the superiors communicate with other departments on this issue."

Another idea was expressed, and today’s meeting also included the idea of ​​collecting everyone’s opinions.

"I think we still need to take serious action. I suggest that Director Chen take direct legal action. These people should be taught a lesson."

Feng Xiaogang finally spoke, even though he knew that legal control on the Internet was not yet complete.

It's not surprising that Feng Xiaogang could say this. He has always been tit-for-tat against bad criticism, and he could even yell at one of them in front of many media outlets.

"This is not Director Kaige's problem alone. The main purpose of today is to say that if this malicious editing incident of "The Promise" happens to everyone here in the future, how will everyone deal with it?"

The person presiding over the meeting spoke, and this problem will eventually be solved.

"Then let's deal with it according to everyone's own wishes!"

Zhang Yimou said that he is a tolerant person, but he also respects his colleagues.

"There are a lot of films that have been filmed recently, have been completed, or are about to be released. It's best for everyone to pay attention. I am a warning to others."

When Chen Kaige said this, his tone was extremely cold, and his eyes glanced at some people with works, including Lin Nan.

"This matter needs to be raised higher up. The bureau and even the department must respond. A movie is a small matter, but the development of the industry is a big deal."

This was the first time Han Sanping spoke today. He was not as energetic as before, but rather depressed.

…

Chen Kaige may have been holding in a lot of anger during this period, and he let it all out at the meeting.

His attitude is very clear. No matter whether there is no clear official way to deal with this kind of thing in the future, he will definitely stop this trend this time and must prosecute to the end.

"Director Chen seems to be really angry. I heard that his wife ran away from China Film Studio several times during this period."

Ning Hao whispered to Lin Nan.

Since Chen Hong and Chen Kaige got married, they have stopped filming, and the overbearing director Chen will not let her go to filming again.

Relying on Chen Kaige's status, Chen Hong has become a very important figure in the industry. She is responsible for managing Chen Kaige's career and company, and is one of the best in the circle of wives.

"If running a few times helps, Mr. Han won't be so depressed when he talks." Lin Nan replied.

Every movie is a gambling process from the beginning of the project, and the release is the moment when the answer is revealed. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected. China Film made a heavy bet on Chen Kaige and lost the bet.

…

The next day, the Film and Television Association and several official media issued an announcement.

"We severely condemn the behaviors and individuals who maliciously harm the film and television industry, slander and slander the film industry, respect the rights and interests of the injured parties, and will actively provide all help including legal means..."

"The content of this announcement is no different than what was not said at all!"

Ning Hao curled his lips and complained.

"It's not bad. At least it shows its attitude. Plus Director Chen has said that he will prosecute to the end. The pressure has been put on him."

In fact, what Lu Chuan said is correct. What the association can do is to issue an announcement to condemn it, and it also has to communicate with the relevant departments to let them deal with this problem.

"The media photographed Director Chen and his wife flying abroad overnight."

Lin Nan thought about it and guessed what was going on.

"Director Chen is going to burn his boats and make a last-ditch effort."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you notice? The Oscars are about to start sending out nomination ballots. Didn't Zhang Ziyi, a lifetime judge, use this to find a topic for herself a few days ago?"

"Oh, now I remember. I admire her too. There are thousands of Oscar judges, but she is the only one who keeps talking about it after returning to China."

"As for actresses, no matter what awards they have won, the competition is always the most intense, and she is so thoughtful." Lin Nan said.

Zhang Ziyi's ambition and means made even Zhang Yimou, who promoted her, a little regretful now, and now they have become much more distant.

This is not the first time that the bad monkey has come to Ning Hao. Lin Nan casually picked up a document on the table. He also received this thing two days ago.

Ning Hao looked at the job offer in Lin Nan's hand and smiled.

"I don't believe you didn't receive this?"

"I did receive it. 30 million to shoot an advertisement. The labor fee is also sufficient, but it takes too much time, so I didn't consider it."

Ning Hao listened to Lin Nan's words and felt a little sour, "Yes, you are qualified to say this now. You have made a lot of money in the past two years, and it's also US dollars."

"Why? Did you take this job?" Lin Nan asked.

Ning Hao is more picky about movie scripts, but he usually takes short films and advertisements, just like Lu Zheng's MV invitation, there is no conflict.

"No." Ning Hao shook his head.

This made Lin Nan curious.

"I wanted to take the call, and I even went to the other party that day. Do you know who I met?"

"Who?"

"Director Feng Xiaogang, Mr. Wang from Huayi, Chen Hong, and the president of Yahoo China..."

After a pause, Ning Hao seemed to be recalling something, "It was the first time I met someone who was so talkative, and he looked...quite unique. My deepest impression was his appearance and his mouth!"

"Hahaha..." Lin Nan couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

"Don't laugh, listen to me, he was telling us about advertising films, borrowing from talent shows, expanding influence, hyping brands, and creating stars.

What he said was quite legal at first, but in the end he inexplicably talked about how to grasp human nature and mobilize customer desires. The more he talked, the deeper and more outrageous it became, saying things like making a small profit with a big investment and making reasonable use of human nature.

Anyway, my back felt cold when I heard it, but Mr. Wang and the others were getting more and more excited.

In the end, I gave up."

"Haha, that's a great magician-level figure, with full bewitching skills."

Ning Hao didn't understand what Lin Nan said, but he understood the word bewitching.

"I thought at the time, did I meet a criminal boss? Haha."

Ning Hao also joked.

"Give up if you give up. Mr. Wang from Huayi can go, which means that others have certain choices and considerations, and prefer entertainment talent shows. You are a first-class filmmaker, but you lack the spirit of entertainment." Lin Nan said.

"Has the post-production of "Time and Space Cruise" started?"

"It has started. Mr. Han came to me the day I came back."

"Is it done under China Film again?"

"No way. Mr. Han said it was all for him."

"Then you better be careful that he will try to promote it again." Ning Hao reminded.

"Let's wait until the post-production is done. If China Film still wants to promote it, I can agree, but Shanghai Film will not agree."

"That's right. This is the most expensive production you have made so far."

"Yes, I have high hopes for it." Lin Nan was not modest.

"I heard that "If Love" has been postponed for a month."

Lin Nan didn't care about this news. For an art love film, what would it matter if it was postponed for a month? For an extra 200,000 or 300,000 box office every day?

"The Promise" still failed despite the high expectations of the folks. It will be stuck at more than 160 million and struggling desperately.

In this Lunar New Year period, only Chen Kexin and Zhang Yimou got what they wanted. The reputation is very good and the box office is not bad.

Liu Zhenwei's "A Chinese Odyssey" has a good reputation, but the cost is a bit high, and it is inevitable that it will lose money at the box office, but it is better than "The Promise".

"Do you have any idea of ​​expansion?" Lin Nan suddenly asked.

Ning Hao was stunned and shook his head, "No, the studio is pretty good. What? Do you have any idea of ​​expansion?"

Lin Nan nodded and said with a smile: "There is such a plan, but it cannot be realized in the short term, and a plan needs to be made.

I can only make movies, but it does not prevent the company from signing some behind-the-scenes talents to make TV series or invest in other people's TV series."

Ning Hao gave a thumbs up, "You have an idea, that is, your movie can make money, so you dare to do so. I can't do it with my small family."

"Haha, this is just an idea, and I have to plan it seriously."

"Okay, when Director Lin becomes bigger and stronger, remember to give me some good scripts, or throw some good projects to me."

Ning Hao was not polite at all.

Lin Nan rolled his eyes and joked, "How about I invest in Bad Monkey?"
