New Age Artists

Chapter 560 Let the wild horses run for a while!
Chen Chexi's face flushed red, and Shen Santong looked so handsome at this moment.

In fact, everyone in the domestic film and television circles enjoys forming small circles, transferring interests, laundering rice, and making money.

There are also clean places that are affiliated with China Film Group, or perform in plays organized by state-owned factories and units.

It’s not to say there aren’t messy things, but you can say no to them.

Chen Chexi had previously starred in period dramas, but he couldn't stand the unspoken rules and the culture of drinking with others, so he chose to become a producer.

Shen Santong is like a "businessman" who doesn't believe in evil. He started with movies, gradually went deep into idols and modern dramas in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, and now he is wielding a big stick to deconstruct art films, and now he wants to redefine movies.
To be honest, if Shen Santong succeeded, it would really cost the lives of some people in the circle.

mua!

"rogue!"

Shen Santong was attacked, he was speechless and disgusted!

If the genders were swapped, they would definitely go in.

The next day, except for the traditional media that received money, all others were pessimistic.

With the development of the Internet, many media people lament that the golden age is passing.

Traditional media are very similar to the self-media of later generations. They are like online gangs that will smear you if you don’t pay them.

"With frequent golden lines, is he the successor of Feng's comedy?"

"A down-to-earth urban market light comedy!"

The Sorrow of Film Art!

"Love Is Not Blind" is a cheesy TV movie!

Love Is Not Blind was premiered on Thursday and released nationwide the next day.

Amidst a chorus of pessimism, the first day’s results were 3450 million!
The results are out, shocking again!
It's not just ordinary shock, it's extreme shock!

In the eyes of some people, this is just a skit, the worst movie.

Production cost: 10 million
All costs were recovered on the first day.
For three consecutive days, the box office in the first week reached 130 million!

The industry is silent!
crazy!

Nowadays, romantic art films are having a harder time. Zhang Yimou's "The Hawthorn Tree" did not have as high a first-week box office as "Love Is Not Blind".

What magic does Santong Entertainment have mastered?
Although some film projects failed, all those that Shen Santong paid attention to were successful.

"The biggest problem with Chinese films is that we have a group of audiences who lack aesthetic ability!"

“The audience is garbage!”

“Chinese cinema is dead!”

Many academicians almost lost their faith when looking at this situation.

The great way has been erased, so what is Wang Ran? He graduated from an advertising drama, not even a professional school!
Why!

The audience gave it rave reviews.

[The best thing is that the film has a decent attitude. As a fashionable love movie, it does not use the rich second generation or white-collar workers as an example. The characters in the movie are just like ordinary audiences, who are short of money, have to rent a house, and take the subway when going out.]

[The most down-to-earth realistic urban film. ]

[The placement of advertisements is not out of touch with reality, and the sponsorships are all in line with the plot. ]

[This is a movie that men can watch with women without any pressure. When they go to Oriental Plaza next time, they can justifiably not go downstairs to spend money, but go to the rooftop to kiss instead.]

[This is a story that grows out of our current life, joyful and warm. ]

[Students who like to collect love quotes can take a small notebook to the cinema. The language here is much more sophisticated than the garbage language in "Fellows".]

[A good movie that is good to watch, good to listen to, good to cry and good to laugh! ]

[No longer have to endure a few idle men eating melon seeds about love, this is the tone that truly belongs to this era, at least it will make you feel that you and the characters in the movie are living in the present together. ]

[We finally have a domestic modern version of a youth romance movie, a stunning low-budget movie! ]

The word of mouth is not just good, it's explosive.

This year, the oldest people born in the 1990s are 20 years old, and the oldest people born in the 1980s are 30 years old. The latter have been subjected to various PUA by the media, and the former are not much better off.

For the audience, watching a movie is just for comfort.

"Love Is Not Blind" may not be perfect, but other websites don't offer this kind of movie except Santong Entertainment!

The Douban score of Shen Santong's Black Fan Base is also as high as 7 points.

Except for the black distortion, it is basically objective.

[From the strict fundamentalist film standards, Love Is Not Blind is not an excellent film, but it is a good-looking film. ]

Bai Baihe and Hui Zhang are both on roadshows all over the country like crazy.

After the release of "Love Is Not Blind", the two traveled to ten first-tier box office cities across the country within a week.

Bai Baihe became a movie star overnight and rose to fame with just one movie.

Dongda Qingdao.

Bai Baihe comes from a well-off family with two working parents. She has been nurtured in the arts since childhood. She can sing and dance, write and perform her own plays. Her mother is a dancer.

"Are you getting off work?"

"Well, anything else?"

"Your daughter made a movie that was very popular. My daughter wants an autograph. Can you get me a few?"

At the end of the get off work day, a colleague stopped Bai's mother. Bai's mother was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Of course, I'll call Xiaoxue (Bai Baihe's original name is Bai Xue) to sign a few more and have her mail them to me."

Midway through the roadshow.

Bai Baihe hung up the phone at home and started crying.

Ignoring Chen Yufan who kept asking her when she would finish work, she called Shen Santong first: "Director Shen, you are my mentor, thank you so much"

He kept saying all kinds of corny things.

Shen Santong has gotten used to it. Having been in this circle for a long time, he is used to seeing sugar-coated bullets.

After he hung up the phone, Chen Chexi came over and asked, "How many women does someone have?"

As a producer, she knew that Zhang Li in the crew obviously had an extramarital affair and was too fickle.

"Whose vinegar jar is broken? Where does the vinegar smell come from?" Shen Santong laughed.

The relationship between the two is a little ambiguous, but they are both very restrained.

Shen San Tong didn't want to destroy the pure working relationship, and Chen Chexi calmed down and couldn't accept Shen San Tong's philandering.

Chen Chexi changed the subject: "I think Love Is Not Blind is not 33 or million, it is heading for more than million. The cost was about million, and the profit was dozens of times. The stock price has gone crazy again."

Shen Santong was surprised, but not that surprised: "This shows that there are too many movies that don't speak human language, and too few normal movies. If you respect the audience a little, you will basically get excess returns."

The star lineup of the original time and space was weak, Emblem was not considered a movie star, and Bai Baihe was even regarded as a little Wang Luodan.

Moreover, the texture is exactly the same as that of the TV series. There are no movie scenes and no movie texture at all.

Just like that, it earned 3.2 million at the box office.

In this time and space, produced by Shen Santong and endorsed by the Locomotive label, its popularity and influence far exceed the original version.

The audience at Dongda University is the best. As long as they don't go too far in insulting you and tell you that people with Down syndrome are normal, most of the audience will focus more on the advantages.

It is not easy to force audiences who choose leisure and entertainment to stay away from cinemas.

Shen Santong continued filming.

Before we knew it, it was mid-November.

The Golden Horse Awards are coming.

Shen Santong's films have always been submitted for the Golden Horse Awards.

He himself is often filming at this time and cannot leave, but company representatives also attend the ceremony.

Santong Entertainment has submitted its applications for both the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Image Awards normally. Santong Entertainment also registered this year, but it is eerily quiet now.

There was no movement.

Some media with a keen sense of smell noticed something was wrong.

Santong Entertainment has several films nominated for Golden Horse Awards, but no one is discussing them.

It was as if there was a big hand stopping everyone from talking about this topic.

Director Chen was nominated for Best Actor for his role in Cao Cao, but he avoided talking about it when asked by reporters.

I didn’t say to ban the Golden Horse Awards!
On the 14th, more media outlets smelled something strange and sought confirmation from Santong Entertainment, but received no response.

Santong Entertainment will not collectively not participate in the Golden Horse Awards, right?
This is the Golden Horse!
impossible!

No one else would have this idea. This is the Golden Horse Awards, which is the "first of the three golds" in many people's minds. The Golden Statue Awards are second, and the Golden Rooster Awards are third.

As for Huabiao, huh, it’s just licking the award!

But the owner of Santong Entertainment is Shen Santong, and at last month’s Eastern Film Festival, Santong Entertainment said it would withdraw completely.

World-wide cultural and sports activities all refer to Wandao as Dongda Wandao, but the Dong Film Festival removed this term when introducing Wandao.

The representative of Wandao, Chen Zhikuan, expressed his determination not to change, so this matter is also related to Wandao.

Afterwards, the deputy director of China Film announced his withdrawal.

There were also some who did not withdraw their money and won some awards, but Santong Entertainment withdrew all of it.

There were rumors at the time that a big shot in the film and television industry went to Dongda in person, hoping that Shen Santong would receive the award and send a representative to accept it.

Later, the rumors died down because Shen Santong was not tolerated and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs felt embarrassed, so no one mentioned it anymore.

It is not impossible that everyone will miss the Golden Horse Awards.

An industry insider close to Santong Entertainment told the reporter:
Shen Santong's complete withdrawal from the Tokyo Film Festival resulted in actual losses, while Santong Entertainment has not made a single cent of profit in Wandao.

Shen Santong always fails to win Santong Entertainment's movies in the lottery. He has only won small marginal prizes. It is not impossible for him to withdraw completely.

Various voices emerged, many people expressed disbelief, while others said it was basically true.

Xu Ruoxuan's way of making money in Dongda has been basically cut off. It is no secret who is behind it. Shen Santong is the one who can publicly speak out against eating from the east and staying in the west.

Qingdao Film Set.

There are still five days until the Golden Horse Awards ceremony. The industry and the public are discussing it, and the public opinion has begun to speculate, but Chen Chexi knows what is going on: "Brother, can you not use off-site factors to increase my workload?"

Chen Chexi understood what Shen Santong meant when he said that it had not come to an end.

I never expected that Shen Santong would not allow all the teams and artists under Santong Entertainment to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

There is no official document, but those who understand will understand.

This is the Golden Horse Awards. Chen Chexi was an actor before, so he is not immune to the filters.

Shen Santong was calm: "What the hell, just do your job."

Chen Chexi felt wronged. She was under a lot of pressure. "The counterpart unit in Qingdao has sent people to ask about it, and many leaders have called me."

Shen Santong asked: "What did the counterpart unit say?"

Chen Chexi recounted: "It has been concluded that the lack of communication between the parties will not affect future cooperation between filmmakers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. They mean that this matter is over."

"Our consistent position is: Sports and art should not be mixed with other things, and in the field of art, art should not interfere with politics."

Shen Santong said disdainfully: "You are deceiving yourself. Of course, you can't communicate with them like this, just practice Tai Chi."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Chen Chexi was speechless.

Shen Santong comforted: "The counterpart units don't have to worry too much. They can catch them, but they can't control us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chexi became curious: "What's going on?"

"Our counterparts have caused heavy losses to some of our industries. Due to the financial crisis, panel manufacturers in Wandao have suffered heavy losses due to economic reasons and the market downturn, and are about to go bankrupt."

Shen Santong was a little angry when he said this: "Logically speaking, it was the time for mainland enterprises to conquer the market. But they were saved by their counterparts."

"We called in mainland TV and computer manufacturers to monopolize the demand for curved panels. Then, when the market recovers, the curved panel manufacturers will team up with Korean manufacturers to raise prices, which will make mainland manufacturers suffer."

"This, this..." Chen Chexi was stunned: "Isn't this too ungrateful?"

"This isn't over yet."

"Not finished?"

"Yeah." Shen Santong said with a smile: "The mainland tolerates it, but foreigners don't. In May this year, Ou Meng accused Wandao Nanke and 5 other DRAM manufacturers of violating Ou Meng's price monopoly regulations and fined them more than 10 million euros in total."

"Investigations have also been launched in the display sector. The European Fair Competition Commission has begun investigating Korean LG Display, Taiwan AUO, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, HannStar Display and other panel manufacturers for violating price monopoly."

"I estimate that under pressure, Samsung Electronics of South Korea will hold other trials to provide evidence and avoid punishment this time. It will deal a heavy blow to the Taiwanese industry, and South Korean manufacturers will seize the opportunity to expand their scale."

"Because of this incident, we can't say that there is no cross-departmental influence, but it is better than nothing. No one is playing with them anymore, and the industry has suffered real losses. It's a really bad job."

Chen Chexi couldn't help but sigh: "It's really bad. But if we really quit, we will definitely be criticized?"

Shen Santong shook his head: "Who said I was going to quit? Did I say that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just wait and see. It's not just others who can disgust others. I can do it, too. Everyone pretends to be a saint, but I, Shen Santong, am an ordinary person. I can't just pick up a bowl and curse at my mother!"

Many people may think that China Film’s withdrawal is an exaggeration and a personal act, but they are totally wrong.

When it comes to this issue, it is very serious.

In the 91s, the country planned to sell weapons, but gave up after negotiations. In , it decided to sell again.

The result was that the Tai State missed the best development opportunity, Dezi made huge profits, and its trade volume was many times greater than that of the Tai State.

Even if there is special promotion in later generations, it is still only a fraction of De Zi.

It was because of its own misconduct that China Automobile lost the best opportunity for development.

Originally, Tokyo University preferred the Higashikuni University because it had more autonomy, but I missed it.

There are many other examples.

There is no room for ambiguity in this regard, and anyone who touches it will pay the price.

Anyone who humiliates Dongda University in the world will pay the price, and Xiao Mi is no exception.

Except for Bend Island.

Four days before the awards ceremony.

The Golden Horse Awards ceremony is getting closer and closer, and even those who don’t believe it are starting to believe it a little.

Some media on the island asked the Golden Horse Organizing Committee, and the organizing committee said that they had not received any explanation from Santong Entertainment that they would not be present.

playing dumb.

Santong Entertainment produces dozens of films and hundreds of TV series every year, making it the undisputed leader in mainland China.

We don’t have to give any prizes, but we need people from Santong Entertainment to carry the sedan chair.

It is no secret that Wandao openly plays tricks, using Wandao artists as the protagonists of blockbusters whenever possible, and using popular actors from the mainland to play supporting roles for them.

Among the behind-the-scenes team, there are many directors, screenwriters, producers and other creative people from Hong Kong and Taiwan, who take advantage of their first-mover advantage and carry out various operations.

One of the links is to reward the cooperating actors with awards.

If Santong Entertainment runs away, Golden Horse Awards will suffer a huge loss.

They have only name but no substance, and need people to carry them.

The main reason is mysterious self-confidence.

Given the character of mainlanders, they will definitely not be in a big deal. We have already put pressure on the counterpart units, and in the end they still participated obediently.

Three days before the awards ceremony.

A spokesperson for Santong Entertainment released a statement, killing the last suspense: "Due to technical failure, Santong Entertainment cannot participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards."

All kinds of accusations came at once!

Santong Entertainment does not consider the overall situation and pushes compatriots out!
We are a family!
People who never talked about blood being thicker than water or unity before started talking about it.

Public opinion exploded.

I really don't plan to participate. That's too tough!

A reporter first confirmed with Shen Santong's spokesperson, and the news he got was that he was in seclusion filming a movie.

I had to ask for confirmation from the spokesperson of Santong Entertainment, and this time I got more responses.

"It was really a technical failure. We have already criticized and educated the interns."

"As a market player, Santong Entertainment pays hundreds of millions of yuan in taxes every year. We hope that relevant parties will not smear us, which will make our private company feel insecure and is not conducive to economic development."

"Director Shen Santong is an internationally renowned director and the pioneer of naked-eye 3D technology. He enjoys a reputation in many countries and is not something that can be taken advantage of by small-time people!"

I am!

When the news spread, many people were speechless.

How did this word come into your mouth?

At this moment, some people still refused to give up and thought it was just a technical failure.

There are also corresponding units that have expressed that they can help with completing the formalities, so you must participate!
Two days before the awards ceremony.

Santong Entertainment Market Risk Control Department and various departments held a meeting and issued a number of risk control regulations; "We noticed that among the artists, a small number of them had ambiguous attitudes in China and provoked others on the Internet."

"Art and literature should be left to art and literature and should not be influenced by politics. As a commercial company, we must avoid uncontrollable risks."

"We must be extremely cautious about these additional risks in our film and television productions, as well as variety show productions."

"We must also be careful of spies planted by our competitors. Think about it, if there is a super-big production and they manage to sneak in a role actor, and it suddenly explodes during the promotion, even if we can re-edit it, the promotion period will be missed and the show will be ruined!"

"We are not targeting anyone, including mainland actors, nor are we saying that actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan are all ungrateful. This point must not be confused or lead to any misunderstanding. It's just a small group."

“We need to give good opportunities to those who truly sing the praises of family love, both on and off the stage.”

"As for those that involve risks, we must be cautious and conduct repeated demonstrations, research and discussions."

It was originally an internal meeting, but I don’t know who leaked it to the media.

There is a traitor in Santong Entertainment!

Blast! Excited!
There are many people in the three major universities, and there are plenty of talents in the mainland. After repeated demonstration and research, and adding so many procedures, no one can really not see the situation clearly.

The resources of Santong Entertainment are not only large in quantity but also high in quality, and its idol dramas are unique. This entertainment company, which controls the most high-quality resources in the mainland, has issued a ban!
Ban those in front of and behind the scenes who have unclear stances!

It doesn't target artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, it also includes mainland China, but the meaning is very obvious.

Isn't it obvious to point at a monk and call him bald?
Immediately, a group of people started to make a fuss and curse Shen Santong for discriminating against his compatriots.

A spokesperson for Santong Entertainment immediately rebuked the media and the comments: "Speak responsibly! Do not target any region! It's just a small group, less than one percent, how can you ban it?"

Oh shit!

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are depressed. Why are they pretending to be confused? We are basically the same!

The day before the awards ceremony.

There is no movement at all from Santong Entertainment.

Be it the stars or the people behind the scenes, no one moved, as if nothing had happened!
Is Shen Santong really going to declare war?

Chen Chexi had to come out and face the media surrounding the film and television base, and read out the statement in a serious manner: "I am speaking on behalf of Director Shen Santong. We reserve the right to pursue all responsibilities for the fabrications made by the media with ulterior motives."

"The Golden Horse Awards is a great award for Chinese-language films and a lifelong pursuit for many filmmakers. This time it was just a work error."

"As for discrimination against compatriots? That's sheer nonsense! The box office record for Hong Kong film directors was created by the film "The Empire Strikes Back" that our company and Director Xu Ke collaborated on!"

"We all follow market principles and hope that those behind the scenes will not use this as an opportunity to hype things up."

"We are one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. We are a family that loves each other!"

As soon as the speech was made, people on the Internet began to say that Shen Santong had given in again.

The night of the Golden Horse Awards.

Shen Santong logged into Weibo to promote the movie: "Let the wild horses run for a while!"

The accompanying picture is the promotional poster of "Let the Bullets Fly" and a picture of Jiang Wen riding a horse.

Promoting the movie!
Who can't play it if it's a disgusting thing to do secretly?

#Wild Horse#
It immediately topped the trending search list.

Shen Santong was satisfied when he saw the heat. It was really explosive!
