Chapter 618: Life and Death Decision

This is the official power that did not ban the screening of Infernal Affairs, because Ye Ming is the ambassador for the Olympic bid, and his identity is also protected. Ye Ming was also very clear. When he saw the empty press conference, he knew in his heart that it was Brother Chen Kai who took action. Only Brother Chen Kai could have such power to change the attention of the people in the Radio, Film and Television Bureau.

Cheng Long didn't know what to say. At this time, he patted Ye Ming on the shoulder and said: "Director Ye, please look away. Screening is not allowed in the mainland. There are also Hong Kong cities, treasure islands, and foreign countries. I believe that with the help of The quality of the movie "Infernal Affairs" means that there is no problem in recovering the cost in Hong Kong City. If it is made abroad or on the island, it will be profits. When it is released in Hong Kong City, I will personally support you. .”

It was useless to say anything else. In such a situation, Cheng Long shook his head helplessly and left. Zhou Runfa also came over with a serious expression to comfort Ye Ming and said, "Yes, no one wants to do this, and I don't understand.

All the films that have been approved can be revised by you. There are some things in the mainland that I really can’t understand. "Ye Ming said helplessly: "Brother Fa, you will understand in the future. If the leader doesn't like it, then everything is out of the question. Thank you and Brother Cheng Long for coming to support me. I will go to Hong Kong City to entertain you two." Bit. "

After Cheng Long and Ye Ming left, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Chen Daoming and others came forward. This is also a rule in the entertainment industry. Cheng Long and Zhou Runfa are international superstars, so in such a Under such circumstances, only the two of them stepped forward to say goodbye to Ye Ming before others could come up.

Feng Xiaogang came over and said: "Yi Zi, this must have been done by Brother Chen Kai. When Lao Zhang and I were drinking some time ago, he also said that you signed Hu Ge because you offended Lao Chen. Brother Chen Kai is too It’s unreasonable. You are actually saying that you are using such a despicable move and have no regard for the rules in the circle."

In fact, according to some rules in the entertainment industry, it is like a feud between Ye Ming and Brother Chen Kai. Brother Chen Kai can only regain his position after defeating Ye Ming with a work. With the help of official power, It's shameful for everyone in this situation.

Ge You snorted and said: "Brother Chen Kai betrayed the offensive and defensive alliance and got involved with the people of the New Film Alliance.

Therefore, in such a situation, no matter what it is, he is already unreasonable. Will he still care about this matter? "

Ge You told the truth this time and became a traitor. Otherwise, under such a situation, the Offensive and Defensive Alliance would have re-signed the sharing contract with the New Film Alliance long ago.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang said angrily: "You said this, in fact, even if Brother Chen Kai betrayed, the people from the New Film Alliance had the intention to compromise with us some time ago. What kind of movie is Infernal Affairs?" It’s very clear, but I didn’t expect that Brother Chen Kai would come up with this, and he would pull the fire under the cauldron. Now, Wuji really has no opponent.”

Feng Xiaogang knew the cause and effect of this matter clearly, but he just couldn't do anything about it. How could he not be angry? Brother Chen Kai was a slap in the face to Chi Guoguo, but this matter was handled in accordance with official rules. Feng Xiaogang originally thought that since Ye Ming lost in such a matter, Brother Chen Kai would celebrate his victory. But what everyone didn't expect was that Brother Chen Kai actually came over with a group of people at this time.

Originally, the two companies held press conferences on the same floor, which was a bit opposite. If either party wants to attack the opponent's press conference, it will be very easy. But this time, Brother Chen Kai looked like a winner and walked over with a group of Wuji actors arrogantly.

At this moment, Brother Chen Kai said with extraordinary momentum like a victorious general: "Oh, isn't this the press conference of Director Ye's new film? Look at the news this time, it can't be published. Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no news, at least. Reporters know that Infernal Affairs has been delayed. Director Ye, you are really careless. After all, you are young and energetic. If you don't understand some things, you have to ask, otherwise you will get into trouble."

In front of so many reporters, Brother Chen Kai actually didn't have to express his emotions so arrogantly at this time. However, the time he was suppressed by Ye Ming was simply too long. Therefore, in such a situation, Next, once he feels there is an opportunity to show off, he grabs it and has no intention of letting it go.

A major international director is supposed to have a certain degree of magnanimity. There is no need to rub salt into Ye Ming's wounds at this time.

Yan Meng, a reporter from Ming Pao who came from Hong Kong City, said with some confusion: "Director Chen was a little unkind this time. Everyone knew that he was a winner, but he did not show the magnanimity that a winner should have. , it’s not the work of a great director.”

These words were said in a group of reporters. The voice was not very loud, but Brother Chen Kai didn't hear it at this time. The reporters from the mainland heard it very clearly.

The person next to Yan Meng happened to be Yu Guo. At this time, Yu Guo explained: "You don't know the grudges between the two of them. Director Chen is not very big-hearted to begin with. He thinks he is noble and does not take the world's heroes into consideration. , but it happened that Ye Ming’s crazy stone directly destroyed his [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin] at this time. You always give Director Chen a chance to vent new and old grudges. In fact, This time I heard that it was Chen Dao who took action and the release of Infernal Affairs was delayed.”

Brother Chen Kai was able to find someone to delay the release of Infernal Affairs, but no matter what he said, it was impossible to stop everyone's instinct to find the truth, especially reporters who are good at finding the truth. But at this time, Ye Ming saw Director Chen who was looking higher than his head. He couldn't get angry in front of so many reporters.

Ye Ming knew very well that no matter how much anger he had in his heart, he could not fall out in front of so many media reporters at this time. This is also an unspoken rule.

Brother Chen Kai looked at Ye Ming, who had a somewhat uncertain expression, as if he were watching a monkey show. Of course he hoped that the young and energetic Ye Ming would get angry. In this case, in front of three or four hundred media, in such a situation At that time, Ye Ming was really embarrassed.

But what disappointed Brother Chen Kai was that Ye Ming simply said that he was not angry. He almost said that it was within two seconds. He quickly stabilized his emotions and said with a smile: "Director Chen, actually I feel very sad. I know very well that, to be honest, if my movie can be released in the mainland, I will know that it is very lucky. The leadership can give me this opportunity because it is beyond my expectation. As for delaying the screening, this is right I have no influence."

Does it really have no impact? In fact, everyone at the scene is very clear about this, whether it is the director, actor, or reporter. Once a movie is delayed in China, pirated discs will sweep across China within three days. At that time, even if Infernal Affairs could be approved to be released in the mainland, how many people would go to the cinema to watch Infernal Affairs? A five-yuan pirated disc would solve the problem. Spending twenty or thirty yuan to go to the cinema is what they would do anyway. There are not many people. Therefore, although this delay in screening is not a ban on screening, it can be said to have a fatal impact on the box office of Infernal Affairs in the mainland. Basically, Ye Ming doesn’t have to count on how much box office Infernal Affairs will have in the Mainland.

Brother Chen Kai saw Ye Ming acting like a cooked duck with a tough mouth, and said with a smile: "You should know whether you drink water or not. I feel very sorry for this."

Everyone could hear the triumphant expression on Brother Chen Kai's words, as if he were a beggar standing on the bustling street after winning five million dollars.

However, in fact, everyone knows very well that no matter what method Brother Chen Kai uses, he is a winner.

Everyone at the scene was mourning for Ye Ming. The film he had worked so hard to shoot could not be screened. For a director, this was an almost fatal blow.

But there was only one person who didn't think so, and that person was Ye Ming.

When Ye Ming heard what Brother Chen Kai said, he burst out laughing. Everyone present was a little baffled by the laughter. Brother Chen Kai even said that he had an inexplicable idea at this time. Wouldn't Ye Ming be so angry that he would go crazy at this time? Able to laugh. In fact, at this moment, not only was Brother Chen Kai's childish idea, but also Sister Fang Fang, Feng Xiaogang, Yu Guo, etc. all thought that Ye Ming was stimulated and laughed.

After Ye Ming laughed heartily, he looked at Brother Chen Kai with a very sad expression and said: "Director Chen, do you know what it means if you don't die, you won't die? Do you think that if Infernal Affairs is delayed, Wuji will have a chance? ?"

This question makes people feel very strange. Infernal Affairs and Wuji are two enemies. They were destined to have a fateful showdown, and they would definitely compete for the top spot at the box office. But in a situation like this, The screening of Infernal Affairs has been delayed, so of course it’s the world of Wuji.

Although Brother Chen Kai didn't want to say it out loud, at this time, he couldn't help but said: "Ye Ming, I have to say that the movie you shot is quite good, and it will have a certain impact on Wuji's box office, but in At this time, the release of the Infernal Affairs movie is delayed, who is still Wuji’s opponent?”

Ye Ming looked at Brother Chen Kai with a very pitiful look and said: "Actually, everyone has a chance. At this time, we all have a chance to win-win. If our two movies are competing, then maybe we two Everyone has some opportunities, but now that you have squeezed out Infernal Affairs, you have no chance of winning? Director Chen's movie has already been confirmed for release, right?"

Brother Chen Kai said with a smile: "This is natural. The screening will be on the 29th next month. This is a pretty good day. I like it very much. If Director Ye is uncomfortable, you can vent it to your heart's content and don't hold it in. In my heart, I will hold back something wrong."

Ye Ming knew that once the movie's release date was confirmed, it would not be changed, so at this time he knew that the overall situation had been decided, and said very sadly: "I feel very pitiful about this matter. On the 29th, Infernal Affairs was also It was decided to be released at that time, but did you know that there will be another movie released on the 29th? The name of this movie is called Life and Death."

This name is very unfamiliar. Not only was Brother Chen Kai confused, but the reporters present were also confused. What theme is this movie about? Are there any stars in it? A very strange movie?

Ye Ming looked at the confused people and said, "Don't you know what kind of movie this is? I can tell you that you will soon be familiar with this movie. It is an anti-corruption movie. Sad ,poor person must have something mean."

Ye Ming shook his head and left, leaving a sigh of vicissitudes and a lonely back. (To be continued)
