Chapter 619: A movie promoted by the state [Life and Death Decision]

After Ye Ming said these words, Chen Hong looked at Brother Chen Kai very curiously and said: "Life or death decision, Old Chen, do you know there is a movie like this?"

This is a very serious question. At least Chen Hong, who is an insider, has never heard of such a movie. What does this mean? It means that the investment in this movie is small and the stars are not big names. Otherwise, it is impossible that even Chen Hong would not know about it.

After Chen Hong succeeded in squeezing out Ni Ping and became Mrs. Chen, she single-handedly took care of all the publicity work for Brother Chen Kai. Which movies will become Brother Chen Kai's opponent is what Chen Hong focuses on. But even Chen Hong, who has always paid close attention to the works on the market, didn't know about this movie. You can imagine the confusion in her heart now.

Brother Chen Kai pretended to be cool and glanced at Ye Ming's back as he left, and said with a smile: "Young man, you are arrogant and arrogant. After being punished, you feel a little unconvinced in your heart. This is just what Ye Ming is looking for." It's just an excuse. Don't take it to heart."

The reporters below really took Ye Ming's words to heart. They saw the pity in Ye Ming's eyes when he said these words. In such a situation, as a reporter They are professionally sensitive and know that there must be something wrong.

After receiving the souvenirs, there are souvenirs at press conferences and other events. This is an unspoken rule. Neither Ye Ming nor Brother Chen Kai intends to violate this unspoken rule.

Although the release of Ye Ming's Infernal Affairs has been delayed, the reporter's souvenirs are still available. At this time, Lao Bai, who had always been different from Yu Guo in terms of temper, couldn't help it. He was a person who knew Ye Ming better. Ye Ming would not make an unintended decision. Ye Ming dared to face so many people. When he said this in front of a reporter, he must have his own trump card. Among the reporters at the scene, only Yu Guo knew Ye Ming better than himself.

Therefore, Lao Bai, who had always had some problems with Yu Guo, finally approached Yu Guo to inquire about this matter. Yu Guo just said one sentence, and he really had a life-or-death decision in this movie.

This means that Ye Ming is not lying. In fact, Yu Guo knows because he has a classmate who is a staff member of the Life and Death crew. Originally, there was a celebration banquet after the press conference, and some of the leading actors from the crew were expected to attend the celebration banquet, but now it seems that under such circumstances, the celebration banquet cannot be held.

However, Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "Everyone has been busy for a long time anyway. Since the celebration banquet has been set, at this time, it is impossible to cancel it no matter what. Change it to Let’s have a dinner together, it’s been a long time since we all had a good meal together.”

During the meal, the people in the Infernal Affairs crew were actually in a very heavy mood. At this time, Xu Qing, who was sitting next to Ye Ming, frowned and felt like he couldn't eat.

Xu Qing is the kind of person who can be the center of attention on any occasion. Her beauty and smile are her most powerful weapons. But Xu Qing is also the best at hiding herself. She doesn't want to be the center of attention, so she is always good at hiding herself, especially her emotions. Calmness is one of her characteristics.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Sister Qing, what are you worried about? The one who should really worry about me at this time is me. I don't even know what I should do. You don't have to worry about this. everything will be fine."

At this time, looking at Ye Ming's expression, he was not depressed at all. Xu Qing said worriedly: "Aren't you worried about Infernal Affairs' box office success at all? This matter is clearly someone deliberately causing trouble for you. I can tell that you don’t care, that’s not your character.”

Xu Qing has never had any negative reports along the way, which has a lot to do with her character. Even if she knew that Brother Chen Kai did this, even if she saw Brother Chen Kai showing off his power on the set of Infernal Affairs , but in such a situation, she would never say it herself. Therefore, if she talks to Xu Qing, it will be very difficult in this situation if she is someone who doesn't want to end Xu Qing's life. .

This is also a means of self-protection in the entertainment industry, especially for actresses. This is the best way to use it.

Ye Ming didn't seem to take such a thing into his heart at all, and said with a smile: "I must fight for what I should fight for, but this matter is obviously impossible to fight for. There must be someone above who is not happy to see it. Infernal Affairs is a sideline movie, so I got this notice. And Brother Chen Kai thought he was plotting against me. In fact, if there was a fight between Infernal Affairs and Wuji, maybe the box office of Wuji would be better, but there is no such thing. If there is Infernal Affairs, then Wuji will not have any possibility of victory."

Xu Qing didn't understand this very much. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I really don't understand this. The choice of life and death must be as powerful as you said. I have never heard of this movie. Can it beat Wuji? Directors who can beat Chen Kaige in China can be found with one hand."

This hand checked, and there were actually only three people. One was the national advisor Zhang Yimou. There is no doubt about this. In such a situation, no matter how it is, Zhang Yimou is a member of Huaxia Film. Boss, there is no doubt about this. Even the current Ye Ming has to admit this. Another one is Feng Xiaogang, who took the opposite direction and made his way through New Year movies. The last one is the rising star Ye Ming.

None of the remaining people is a match for director Chen Kaige. Although Brother Chen Kai is proud, where does his reputation lie?

Xu Qing doesn’t know who the director of Life and Death is. This shows that Life and Death is a niche movie.

Fan Binbin also said with some confusion: "Yes, Brother Ming, I don't know what you are thinking. This life and death decision is indeed a movie that no one knows about. In our circle, if you are not famous, you want to be The box office is almost impossible, and Life and Death has no publicity at all. Infernal Affairs is favored by everyone. What happened just now, director Feng Xiaogang was already called away by Wang Zhongjun to discuss the matter. I guess he will come to see you later. of."

Ye Ming said with a smile: "There is no publicity, but it just hasn't started. Life and Death is a miraculous movie that you would never think of again. It won't take long for the whole China to know about this movie. I As I said, this is a movie with an anti-corruption theme. Although a movie like this is not well-known, under such a situation, you will see the power it can unleash soon."

As soon as he said these words, Feng Xiaogang called to discuss countermeasures with Ye Ming. After Ye Ming arrived at Huayi Brothers, Feng Xiaogang said with some admiration: "Ye Zi, you are so awesome. You can still communicate with the company at this time." Are you eating and drinking? I'm not worried at all. Just now, Mr. Wang, Director Zhang and I were discussing whether there is any solution to this matter."

Ye Ming immediately said: "There is no way. Since Brother Chen Kai has taken action, at a time like this, it means that he is very confident. It's not like you don't know in our circle that delaying the screening is caused by the people above." What's more, there is no way to release it within two or three months. But within two or three months, pirated discs have flooded the market, and in our mainland, you don't have to worry about the box office."

This matter is very consistent with the result of Feng Xiaogang's discussion. This time, Wang Zhongjun, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou saw that Ye Ming's movie was delayed, and they immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures. As a result, they discussed it over and over again. In this way, When I was married, I couldn't come up with a better result. The people above had decided on this matter, and it was almost impossible to change.

Feng Xiaogang said helplessly: "You all know these things, why are you not anxious at all? It depends on the situation. If Wuji's box office does not exceed 100 million this time, it will be great. Brother Chen Kai will fight a beautiful turnaround." . Is our offensive and defensive alliance simply self-defeating? How about you discuss this with Third Master?"

In fact, the final result of the discussion between the three of them at this time is that if they want to change this situation, the person who needs to untie the bell needs to tie the bell. At this time, only the people above can speak up to change the situation and allow Infernal Affairs to be released on the 29th. It was released on time before.

Ye Ming shook his head, very sure, and said without caring at all: "You don't have to think about this matter. Do you think Brother Chen Kai will give you this opportunity? To say the least, New Film Alliance will give you this feeling." Is that so? Infernal Affairs is for the box office share. At this time, they knew very well that they would not give me a chance.

But Wuji has no chance at all. Brother Chen Kai doesn't want to make money at all. If there is a confrontation with Infernal Affairs, maybe everyone still has hope of making money, but without the confrontation of Infernal Affairs, the only opponent who makes a life and death decision is Wuji, and Wuji will definitely It's very ugly to die. In fact, even if there was Infernal Affairs, I don't think the box office of Infernal Affairs in Mainland China was only 20 to 30 million, which is top-notch.

Without Infernal Affairs, the box office of Wuji would only be over 10 million. But how much is the investment in Wuji? It’s over 50 million. Brother Chen Kai will die the same miserably this time, let alone Wuji, even if it is The Titanic couldn't have fought a life-or-death decision. "

At this time, not only Feng Xiaogang, but also Wang Zhongjun and Zhang Yimou were a little strange. Why is Ye Ming so confident? Titanic can't deal with life and death decisions?

At this time, Director Zhang felt that Ye Ming was a bit exaggerated. The quality of Titanic was obvious to all the world. The box office of 1.7 billion US dollars was not blown, but accumulated one after another.

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This is different. In any other film, there is no choice between life and death, because this is a film promoted by the state and promoted by the state. Haven't you heard of it? In fact, this is the first time it has appeared. The country promotes this term.

Nowadays, there is no promotion of life and death decision, but in the next few days, news broadcasts and focus interviews will report on life and death decision. Think about it, national promotion, Tianchao TV promotion, there is something better than this in our country Is it propaganda? Do you believe me when I say that the Titanic will lead to a dead end? "

At this time, everyone was completely dumbfounded. Wang Zhongjun's mouth was wide open as if he could stuff three eggs into it, while Feng Xiaogang's eyes were wide open and he couldn't believe it. Zhang Yimou was thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.

Feng Xiaogang said in disbelief: "Will it be like this?" Ye Ming nodded and said with certainty: "Absolutely, why Infernal Affairs passed the selection is actually because I am the ambassador of the Olympic bid, and everything is to make way for the Olympic bid. But sometimes everything is to make way for anti-corruption. The world is big and the leader is the biggest. I think all three of them are very clear about this." (To be continued)
