Hong Kong General: Hongxing 49 Zai, step on Liang Kun to get a job
Chapter 439 The Purpose is Too Obvious
This confidentiality agreement was protected by the notary public, and everyone agreed to it. After all, the quality of Zhou Shengpeng's films had already spread, and now that his new work was about to be released, the more cautious he was, the better.
However, even with all the agreements signed, when Zhou Shengpeng arrived at the crew to wrap up filming, there were a bunch of reporters waiting at the door.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard you're filming a new script this time. Is it a sequel to A Better Tomorrow? Or is it some new theme?"
"Mr. Zhou, some people say you're using some culture to make a film, and these cultures involve some religious beliefs. Do you really think such a film will pass the review and be accepted by the public?"
"Mr. Zhou, the actors used this time are relatively unknown. In your opinion, is training new actors more important?"
“I heard that you have introduced some foreign dramas. The previous Home Alone was a very good movie. What are your plans for introducing foreign movies next?
What are your plans? If I buy the copyright, how long can it last?
The meaning is obvious, but everyone has heard the news.
But Zhou Shengpeng couldn't be sure who leaked the information, even though Mr. Zombie was a low-budget movie.
However, the entire film and television base is a mixed bag, and with so many people coming to sign up, it is inevitable that some people will be missed.
Once the audit goes wrong, this embarrassing situation can easily occur.
Faced with the flashes of light, Zhou Shengpeng dodged subconsciously.
To be honest, although this feeling is very good, the feeling of the flashing magnesium powder hitting your face is really unpleasant.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Our chairman has some important matters to attend to right now. If you still want to interview me, please wait for the press conference during the subsequent activities. We will answer any questions you have at that time. Please rest assured!"
Jimmy, who is in charge of public relations, also feels a headache looking at these reporters. This is not the same as running a company back then.
It wasn’t so difficult to deal with when I was working in real estate, but now that it’s involved in the film and television industry, it’s received too much attention.
Fortunately, I have been cleared of all charges now, otherwise it would be difficult for me to explain some things to this guy.
"Go check who left. Filming is a big deal, so it's normal for them to know."
"But being able to explain the genre culture and even the actors' fame so clearly, I don't think they have the brains to guess it!"
It’s not that Zhou Shengpeng is stingy, but that no one is willing to protect the so-called cultural property rights now.
The guys above haven't really tasted the sweetness of this incident yet, so naturally they won't care.
Only after they have truly tasted the dividends from various industries such as film, television, and music, and collected a large amount of taxes, will they pay attention to protection in this area.
Now Zhou Shengpeng must be extra careful, otherwise he will easily fall into trouble.
But before his men could investigate, a young employee in charge of props walked in obediently, looking very nervous.
"Boss, I told my cousin yesterday that the new script was finished, but I definitely didn't mention the genre or the actors. I don't know how they found out so much!"
"Don't worry, I know who to find and who to ask. I understand some things, and you wouldn't have done them, but every wrong has its perpetrators, and I have to find them. Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss!"
Zhou Shengpeng thinks it is normal for these young employees to share their life experiences and work matters with their families. It is human nature and not incomprehensible.
But obviously, these leaked things are far beyond their reach.
The investigation into the introduction of foreign films is so thorough, it must be that some guys have ulterior motives!
"Boss, you're looking for me!"
"Old Wang, has our company recruited a lot of actors recently? Especially those extras, I think a lot of them want to join our company, right?"
It is not uncommon for Zhou Shengpeng to start a film and television company, but Zhou Shengpeng specifically assigned some people to be responsible for leading the extras.
This has never happened in this era, and it is also something that other major crews have not expected. Such a large-scale investment has indeed ensured a sufficient number of extras.
It is also possible to complete the filming of the movie quickly without delaying the project, which is an advantage.
However, the price is that a mixed bag of people can easily appear.
Some criminals can use such an identity to sneak into the company and steal the company's secrets!
For example, there must be a reason for the leak of this news.
"Although we've stopped recruiting extras, there are still many young people who want to join our company every day. Many of them don't have acting skills, so I've selected some young people with acting skills to stay!"
"Very good, I understand. It seems some people are trying to use this opportunity to drive a wedge into our company. Has Golden Harvest Films made any new moves recently?"
"I haven't heard anything over there, but the He family father and son rarely appear at the film and television base. Although they joined the crew as props and technicians, they don't care about the crew's filming schedule or other matters!"
This surprised Zhou Shengpeng a little, although he knew that these guys would definitely not be able to settle down.
But I didn't expect that he would do things with such an attitude.
Even if he wanted to leave the company, the signs were too obvious. He didn't even forget to add fuel to the fire before leaving...
"Alright, there's no need to look for the leaked filming progress; it must have been these guys! Continue preparing for the final stages. Remember, this press conference needs to be big, and it's best to invite all the media in Hong Kong."
Last time we suffered from a lack of resources and no one paid attention to it, but this time, we must make good use of this opportunity to promote this new type of movie, and also provide material for future development in many aspects!
Moreover, the last time the movie was popular enough, unlike this time, as everyone's attention is focused on the newly opened casino and the official documents above, these things combined make it difficult for people to be interested in the movie.
However, Zhou Shengpeng wants to take advantage of this opportunity to not only introduce good foreign films, but also to shoot different types of his own.
There are still too few movies of the martial arts and martial arts genres, and only low-budget movies like Mr. Vampire can fill the gap in the audience.
Only then can we develop diversity and TV dramas can be put on the agenda.
To put it another way, even if it is released too early and not many people pay attention to it, there is no need to worry about it being wasted. After all, the resources spent are not that much.
Zhou Shengpeng was thinking about this, but he didn't expect to receive a call from the authorities.
He said that someone reported that the movie he shot involved false advertising.
They even use some supernatural things to brainwash the audience.
"Mr. Minister, although this movie is indeed not that realistic, we will still be responsible for the film. We will also make a statement in advance at the press conference that this kind of thing is fake, and it is not meant to lead to negative trends!"
"Anyway, you've gotten yourself into some trouble with this matter. Why don't you come over here and see what everyone has to say?"
"The decision will be made by voting. If there are no problems, the original approval status will be maintained. However, if more than half of the people think that this kind of movie is harmful, then the approval can only be rejected!"
After hanging up the phone, the man finally understood.
These people just solved the problem for me, and now they have to suck some blood from me, otherwise they will never give up.
It’s not that they don’t want the movie to be approved, but rather that they haven’t given them enough benefits.
As agreed, Zhou Shengpeng met with these people at the Venice Hotel.
Obviously, according to their statement, the application they submitted previously was not sufficient to be accepted as supporting material.
"Look, it's not that we're putting things in a difficult position. The information you've submitted so far isn't enough to prove that your actions won't mislead the public. So, my suggestion is to shelve this film to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. That's the best option!"
"I, Zhou, have contributed so much to Hong Kong Island. How can I not deserve it? Or do you think I deserve this? Let me tell you this: there are some things I don't want to bother about, but that doesn't mean I don't know what's going on."
He didn't know what the He family father and son had said to these people, but if this matter couldn't be negotiated, then there was no need to discuss the rest of the business, otherwise it would cause trouble for everyone!
These people obviously understood that Zhou Shengpeng was the kind of person who would do what he said, otherwise they would not have asked for a meeting.
Rather than being a threat, it is more of a disguised compromise, which is just a sway between different supporters.
This made Zhou Shengpeng a little curious. What kind of supporters did these guys find that made them dare to confront him head-on?
Could it be that there is some connection with the British? Otherwise, there is really no good reason or excuse!
"Mr. Zhou, please believe that we have absolutely no malicious intent in this suggestion. We just think that some things are better discussed first, so as to avoid embarrassing us all in the end!"
"I made this film just to expand everyone's reference options, understand? It's not for my own selfish desires! If it was for some personal ideas, I could have done things more radically, instead of doing it like this. What do you think?"
Zhou Shengpeng's contribution to the cause of Hong Kong Island and his huge financial investment are indispensable to many departments.
I have always enjoyed the support from Zhou Shengpeng.
However, it is now clear that they are targeting Zhou Shengpeng, and this purpose is too obvious.
It would be fine if Zhou Shengpeng didn't care, but unexpectedly they seemed to have made a mistake this time.
