After the incident, Xu Shaozhang no longer stayed on the set and left that night.
The rest of the crew only knew that Liu Ye had a fight with Xu Shaozhang, but they didn't know the specific reason. However, gossip spreads very quickly in a place like the crew.
Within two days, several versions of the reason for the fight came out. Some people said that Xu Shaozhang was not willing to just play a supporting role and wanted to steal the scene from the protagonist. Liu Ye knew about this, and of course Liu Ye refused to do it.
People started fighting.
Others say that Xu Shaozhang fell in love with the heroine Jia Jingwen and wanted to develop a relationship with Jia Jingwen, but Liu Ye found out, and Liu Ye also liked Jia Jingwen. It is normal for two men to fight over a woman.
But no matter which version it is, people come to the conclusion that Yu Dong is really protecting his shortcomings.
Many people saw Xu Shaozhang's swollen face and found that Liu Ye was unharmed. It was obvious that Liu Ye must have taken advantage of the fight between the two.
But even so, it was the investor Xu Shaozhang who ran away in despair in the end, not Liu Ye who took advantage.
Many entertainment reporters came after smelling the smell, but they couldn't find out what was going on for several days. At this time, something outside the crew caught their attention.
On the fourth day after the fight, Deep Space announced that it would return the 15 million yuan invested by Hong Lin Jianye for the TV series "Emperor?" because the contract previously signed by both parties stipulated that Deep Space had to
The right to return the investment, so there is no need to negotiate with Hong Lin Jianye on this matter, Deep Space Company can make a unilateral announcement.
These mediocre people were dumbfounded. They had only heard of investors withdrawing their capital, but they had never expected that film and television companies would return other people's investment. Moreover, the investment returned by Deep Space this time was not a small amount, it amounted to 15 million.
Yuan. Moreover, the Deep Space Company’s announcement also stated that Hong Lin Jianye’s investment in other projects will be refunded one after another.
According to insiders, Deep Space Company is expected to invest at least 30 million yuan in the filming of "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" this time. This is a real large-scale production.
But unlike the previous large-scale investments, this time Deep Space Company released a lot of investment, but their company only invested less than 30% of the funds, and the other 70% of the funds were other investments.
It is a joint venture between investors, and Honglin Jianye is the one with a larger proportion among the many investors.
But now, Deep Space has directly kicked out the largest investor besides themselves.
The biggest reaction was from other investors. Hong Lin Jianye was kicked out, and they also began to worry about whether Deep Space would kick them out. That morning, the number of calls from these investors was overwhelming.
Regarding the concerns of these investors, Yiliang patiently explained them. He told the investors that the reason why he terminated the contract with Honglin Jianye was because the two parties had major and irresolvable differences of opinion. He asked the investors to go back and take a look.
There are some clauses in the contract that should be noted. As long as those clauses are not violated, Deep Space will not take the initiative to end the cooperative relationship between the two parties.
After hearing the response from Yilili, all the investors were relieved, but they were worried that they would also be kicked out.
As for what they would do if they lost fifteen million in investment, they had never thought about it. On the one hand, they believed that the financial resources of Deep Space Company would not be stumped by the fifteen million. On the other hand, they themselves also had the strength.
, even if Deep Space itself does not fill in the fifteen million, they are willing to fill in the fifteen million.
The last person to call Yiliang was one of the protagonists of this matter, Xu Tongwu, the chairman of Honglin Jianye.
Xu Tongwu got the news immediately, and Deep Space Company had already sent a letter to their company before it was announced to the public.
Xu Tongwu did not respond immediately because he wanted to find out the cause of the matter first. The Deep Space Company did not do this for no reason.
Xu Tongwu guessed that this matter should be related to Xu Shaozhang.
After rumors about a fight between Xu Shaozhang and Liu Ye appeared on the Internet, Xu Tongwu went to ask Xu Shaozhang, but Xu Shaozhang told Xu Tongwu that he just had a small friction with Liu Ye, which was completely different from what was said on the Internet. As for the conflict over a woman, it was simply nonsense.
Talk, he is not that kind of lecherous person at all.
Hearing Xu Shaozhang's explanation, Xu Tongwu quite agreed. His son had been ignorant and ignorant since he was a child. After graduating from middle school, he helped in the company, but he was always more and more busy, and he was just eating, drinking and having fun every day.
But even so, Xu Shaozhang has one advantage, that is, he can take care of his lower body and has never caused trouble for his family because of women. Over the years, the women around Xu Shaozhang have changed one after another, but there has been no trouble.
There has never been any case of snatching a woman from anyone.
But now that Shen Kong reacted like this, Xu Tongwu became suspicious of his son Xu Shaozhang's words.
He went to Xu Shaozhang again to question, but Xu Shaozhang insisted that nothing happened with Liu Ye, it was just a small friction, and he didn't know why Deep Space Company was like this.
There was no other way, Xu Tongwu could only call Yiliang.
After the call was connected, Xu Tongwu said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, I'm sorry to call you at this time, but it's not okay not to contact you when such a big thing happens. Mr. Yu, is there any misunderstanding between us?"
Invest money…”
Yu Liang smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, there is no misunderstanding. The cause and effect are clear to me. If you are still in the dark now, it means that he has not told you the truth. If you call me to ask, I might as well talk to you."
Let’s have a good chat, son.”
"Mr. Yu..."
Yuliang interrupted him directly, "Mr. Xu, stop working in vain. Our cooperation will end here. In fact, I think that compared to investment matters, there are other things that are more worthy of your concern."
Hearing what Yu Liang meant, Xu Tongwu narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Yu might as well speak more clearly."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Yiliang had no intention of explaining it to him, "I don't understand this matter, just go back and ask Mr. Ling."
…
Xu Tongwu never called again, and the filming of "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" was not affected and was still progressing steadily.
…
On the fifteenth day after "Whale Song" was released, the box office in North America reached more than 75 million US dollars. This is a result that is not very eye-catching but can satisfy all parties.
Just over two weeks have passed, and "Whale Song" still has a lot of box office potential. There should be no problem in the North American box office exceeding 100 million in the future.
Even if it is no longer released in other countries and regions, the box office in North America alone has allowed the producer to make back its money.
And on this day, there are still two things in the film industry that deserve the attention of movie fans.
The first thing is that the "domestic" movie "Infernal Affairs" produced by Deep Space Company was released in North America today.
This movie is now quite famous in the United States. During that time a year ago, there were often news related to the movie on the hot search list of Deep Space Tribe. Basically, the movie topped the box office list in a certain country and a certain region.
Generally speaking, during this period of time, "Infernal Affairs" basically swept the ticket warehouses in East Asia and Southeast Asia, especially in certain places where it reached the top with an absolute advantage.
Therefore, many viewers in North America are also very curious about this movie. They want to see what magic this movie has that makes it so popular among Asian movie fans. At the same time, they also want to see whether this movie can continue its good performance in the United States.
The second thing is also related to Deep Space Company. They announced the release date of the movie "Golden Dreams". The movie will be released on July 14th this year.
The movie "Golden Dreams" has been long-awaited. Not long after the book was released, it was said that it would be made into a movie. There was even news that it had been filmed, but it took so long to see everyone.
.
Regarding these two movies, the industry is generally more optimistic about the latter.
In terms of script, although the script of "Infernal Affairs" was also written by YU, it is still inferior to such popular works as "Golden Dreams".
In terms of cast, "Infernal Affairs" has all Chinese actors, while "Golden Dreams" has a Hollywood cast.
The most important thing is that "Infernal Affairs" is a completely Chinese-language film. Prior to this, the most popular foreign language film released in North America was the Italian film "Life is Beautiful" released last year, with a box office of 57 million US dollars.
The second place went to "The Postman" which was released previously, with a box office of over 20 million.
Under this circumstance, people don't think "Infernal Affairs" can achieve a high box office, even if it has YU's bonus.
Some people believe that the North American box office of this movie is at most US$70 million, of which US$30 million is due to the name YU.
This prediction is actually very flattering, but they have overlooked one thing, that is, the Deep Space Company has recently been using Star Cards to spread money.
…
Fisk held a Starry Sky Card in his hand and danced excitedly, "Hagrid, we don't have to spend money to watch movies this year."
"I guess I won't be able to use it all." Hagrid smiled.
Fisk was one of the first lucky ones, and he immediately won a starry sky card.
They bought some books in the bookstore after getting the Starry Sky Card a few days ago, but they don't really like reading books. The reason why they bought books was because at that time, they were the only bookstores here that could use the Starry Sky Card.
Just yesterday, a local cinema announced that Deep Space Points can be used to redeem movie tickets at their theater. However, the movie tickets that can be redeemed are limited to movies that Deep Space Company participates in the production or distribution.
After receiving such good news, Fisk and Hagrid went to the cinema to exchange for two movie tickets for "Infernal Affairs".
Their Star Card has a total of 100,000 points, and it only costs 3,500 points to exchange for a movie ticket. This means that their points can be exchanged for about 30 movie tickets, which is enough for them to watch for a year.
In fact, in the cinema where Fisk and the others are located, there are not many customers who redeem their deep space points for movie tickets. After all, there are only so many lucky ones in the first batch, and there are not many around.
However, some people already have Star Cards but still spend money to buy tickets. These people who spend money to buy tickets can also get 35 points. In addition, they can also get a chance to draw a lottery.
Deep Space Company announced earlier that anyone who purchases movie tickets at a cinema where Deep Space Points can be used will get a chance to draw a lottery. There is a certain chance of winning a Star Sky Card with 100,000 points. If you originally hold a Star Sky Card,
Points will be directly deposited into the original card.
Even if you can't draw 100,000 points, you still hope to get a Dongdong membership.
It is precisely because of Deep Sky's move that many cinemas have taken the initiative to contact Deep Sky, hoping to set up a points system in their cinemas.
However, applications from these cinemas cannot be responded to in a short period of time.
Unless there are special circumstances, if a movie theater wants to set up the points system of Shenzhen Sky Company, it must first submit an application for system installation to Shenzhen Sky Company.
After Deep Space Company receives the application, it will send people to review it. Once the review is passed, the cinema's order will be put into the queue. Under normal circumstances, there will be thousands of businesses in the queue.
Nowadays, Deep Space Company can only set up a point system for less than 120 stores at most every day. This means that if a movie theater wants to set up the system, even if it passes the review and enters the queue, it will still have to wait in line for more than ten days.
But there's nothing these cinemas can do. After all, if they don't set up a points system, it will have an impact on the sound of their movies.
The movie experience in some places is not yet obvious because there are not many cinemas with points systems, and many cities have none or only one or two.
In some places, such as a small city, one of the two nearby cinemas has a points system and the other does not. At this time, the cinema that does not have a points system will have a very obvious feeling.
, the number of viewers entering the cinema these two days was much smaller than usual.
This is also easy to understand. If there is not much difference in the movie-watching experience between the two cinemas, and you can redeem movie tickets with points at one of the cinemas, you can also buy tickets with cash to get points, and you can also qualify for a lottery, with a chance to win ten
With prizes such as 10,000 points and Dongdong membership, everyone knows how to choose.
Cinema operators are not stupid either. This situation is not obvious yet. When Star Card becomes really popular in the future, anyone who does not set up a points system will be one step behind others, so the sooner this kind of thing is set up, the better.
Because the demand for setting up a points system is too great, Deep Space Company has also recently considered expanding the system installation team, doubling the number of systems that can be set up every day from the maximum of 120 to more than 200.
But even so, the progress is still far from enough. Not to mention other types of stores, the movie theater alone is enough for Deep Space Company to work for many years.
Deep Space’s plan is to have the points system spread across 80% of movie theaters in Europe and the United States within five years.
To this end, they also established a new company to be responsible for the operation of Star Card and Deep Space Points.
