Chapter 56 Han Sanping's Ideas
After reading Shen Gongbao's blog post, Liu Jialing turned into a blue-faced monster, her face turning so blue it was almost purple!
Shen Gongbao's blog post is utterly devastating, a vicious attack on someone who's already down on their luck!
Not only did they relentlessly attack Ah Wei, but they also named out the celebrities who supported Ah Wei.
After seeing the blog post, Ah Wei also felt that things were getting out of control!
Only Wang Jinhua remained relatively calm, because she was somewhat detached from the situation—she was merely Liu Jialing's agent and had little to do with Awei.
She opened the comment section of Shen Gongbao's blog post, and within just four or five minutes, there were already hundreds of comments.
"Rest assured, Master, there are still good people in this world. We believe you are telling the truth!"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Shen Gongbao is really good at spreading rumors!"
"Rest assured, Master, we have received your instructions! We will soon find evidence of Awei Intelligence's double standards and social anxiety!"
"Not only Awei, but also Xu Jinglei and others' posts supporting Awei, I also took screenshots to keep as evidence to prevent them from deleting the posts!"
These people are shameless! They've been in close contact with Awei; how could they not know what's going on with him behind the scenes?
"Bullying! This is yet another instance of bullying against a top student from Zhejiang University! Awei's celebrity friends formed a clique and, under the guise of being a senior, bullied Shen Gongbao!"
"These people are protecting each other and colluding! Since Awei has a problem, then Xu Jinglei and the others definitely have problems too. Brothers, I'm going to fight!"
"Everyone should check out Dong Jie's comments. I remember she had a rumored relationship with Awei, and yet she praised Awei for being devoted and loyal. What a disgusting hypocrite!"
"According to the Taoist priest's blog post, Awei is Mr. Yi. So Awei is not only lecherous, but may also be a very rare individual!"
"I hereby solemnly declare: all the above statements are deduced spontaneously by netizens and have absolutely nothing to do with Shen Gongbao's blog post!"
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right. The Taoist priest is speaking from the heart. There's absolutely no misinterpretation. Please don't misunderstand."
"What does 'Don't expose how hard life is,' and 'I'm so tired I don't want to love anymore' mean? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"Everyone who previously criticized Shen Gongbao should apologize! Everyone the Taoist priest slandered deserved it! From now on, I am a loyal follower of the Taoist priest!"
Seeing these comments, public opinion was completely one-sided, and even Wang Jinhua found it difficult to handle.
-
This is a really big problem.
Shen Gongbao's blog post is too suggestive. After reading it, netizens will continue to dig deeper into Awei's other problems and will also hold Xu Jinglei and others accountable. If not handled properly, it will also affect Liu Jialing.
Most importantly, Shen Gongbao has an excellent sense of online humor, constantly using internet memes in his comments.
Not only are there old jokes that are being repeated, but there are also new phrases like "life is hard, don't expose it" and "I'm so tired I don't want to love anymore".
This way of speaking is very novel and has a very high rate of spread online.
Liu Jialing took a deep breath and asked Wang Jinhua for advice, "Sister Hua, how should we handle this?"
Wang Jinhua was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately!"
Jialing, you're a victim now!
Upon hearing this, Liu Jialing paused for a moment before understanding what Wang Jinhua meant.
This is to force her to cut ties with Ah Wei!
Rationally speaking, this is the best course of action.
Regardless of what Liu Jialing said before, she is, after all, Awei's nominal wife and the direct victim of Awei's infidelity.
If she steps forward to distance herself from the situation, she might gain some sympathy.
She and Ah Wei lived in different places and had separate finances. They didn't have any romantic relationships or endorsements, so cutting ties wasn't too difficult.
However, this would severely damage Awei's health, making it difficult for him to recover!
Seeing Liu Jialing's infatuated expression, Awei sensed something was wrong and was about to plead for her.
But Wu Kebo said, "Don't rush. I spoke with Master Han on the phone a long time ago. Ah Wei, you are the male lead in Red Cliff. Master Han won't stand idly by."
Hearing this, Awei held onto a last glimmer of hope.
But the atmosphere in the office became even more silent; the feeling of waiting for judgment was too agonizing.
While Awei and Chengtian were shrouded in gloom, Shen Gongbao's side was filled with laughter and joy.
Shen Gongbao sat in the boss's chair in the office, with Li Xue and Li Xue on his left and right sides, and Liu Yifei in front of him.
Surrounded by three beautiful women, he was riding high on his success.
The fairy had no filming this week and also had business activities, so she returned to Yanjing first.
According to Shen Gongbao's previous arrangements, she had time this week to record the children's song single.
Liu Yifei exclaimed, "When it comes to stirring up trouble, you, Taoist Priest, are truly amazing!"
Shen Gongbao quickly corrected him: "What do you mean, 'cause trouble'? Don't you believe me either?"
"Tch!! Stop pretending you're one of us."
Seeing Liu Yifei's吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize), Shen Gongbao said with a smile, "I'm not only good at stirring up trouble, but also good at messing with people."
This phrase, "搞人" (gǎo rén), is a double entendre, and immediately earned three pairs of beautiful eye rolls.
At present, the three women in Shen Gongbao's harem are polite on the surface, but they are still competing and fighting in private.
His idea of "being together" has not yet been realized.
Although Li Yitong lost the bet last time, she also played a little trick. She said she was willing to be with Da Li Xue, but the timing was not set, and she needed to give her time to prepare.
Shen Gongbao did not press the matter further.
After a few jokes, Da Li Xue said, "Mr. Zhang from Gionee just called to apologize."
Yesterday, Shenyang's official statement was heavily attacked by the media, and the matter even alarmed Gionee Mobile.
Zhang Gaoxian called to communicate, telling Shen Gongbao to be flexible, apologize when necessary, and not to stubbornly resist, which would ruin his image and affect his endorsements.
It was precisely because of the pressure from various sides that Shen Gongbao decided to release the information about Awei earlier than expected.
Otherwise, according to Shen Gongbao's plan, he was prepared to be criticized for another day, let public opinion continue to ferment, and then reveal the information tomorrow.
Despite some minor setbacks, things went smoothly.
Shen Gongbao said, "Don't worry about Gionee for now. You need to guide public opinion online appropriately and get people to investigate Awei's background."
As for the materials we've prepared, let's not rush into anything; let's assess the situation first.
Shen Gongbao also knew that "we should press on with our remaining strength to eliminate the enemy, and not seek fame like Xiang Yu."
Now that we've started working on Avi, we have to see it through to the end; we can't give up halfway.
The collapse of Awei's melancholy prince persona is just the beginning.
Shen Gongbao also prepared a lot of materials, including Awei's social anxiety and his pro-Japan interview remarks.
He plans to release the information gradually, cooperating with netizens to dig deeper and create a media storm, aiming to make it impossible for Awei to recover.
The movie "Lust, Caution" will also run into trouble, which will also drag down this disgusting film, so it's a win-win situation.
But this is a process, it can't be completed in a day or two. It requires a proper rhythm and also depends on how Ah Wei makes his moves.
Li Xue nodded, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Shen Gongbao's phone ring. It was Han Sanping calling.
"Master, would you like to have some tea sometime? I still have a box of Jin Jun Mei tea from Tongmu Pass that I haven't been able to bring myself to drink!"
Upon receiving this call, Shen Gongbao knew that the peacemakers had arrived.
If we want to continue causing trouble, we must persuade Han Sanping.
Shen Gongbao has already prepared his remarks on this matter.
He said a few words to Li Xue, and then went to China Film Group alone.
Entering the chairman's office, besides Han Sanping, there was also Huayi Wang Zhongjun.
Clearly, Han Sanping believed that Shen Gongbao and Wang Zhongjun were in cahoots, so he called them both over to give them pointers.
After chatting over tea for a while, Han Sanping said, "Right now, my most important project is Chibi."
The filming of this movie was fraught with difficulties and went very poorly.
If we further tarnish Awei's reputation, the project might have to be shelved, and I don't want to see that happen. I hope you understand that.
Although Han Sanping's words did not criticize anyone, his tone was rather harsh. Wang Zhongjun quickly said, "Third Master, you are a wise man. We did not cause any trouble. It was just a normal interview. That's just how the Taoist priest speaks."
Previously, when Jet Li was misunderstood by netizens on the set of The Forbidden Kingdom, he didn't say anything.
In terms of star power, is Ah Wei more famous than Jet Li?
But Ah Wei gathered a group of people to attack the Taoist priest, so we were forced to fight back.
I swear to God, the fact that Ah-Wei and Lin Chih-ling were secretly photographed has absolutely nothing to do with Huayi!
Now that his scandals have been exposed, it's perfectly normal for us to take this opportunity to publicize them and vent our anger at being attacked yesterday.
.
It must be said that Wang Zhongjun has good logic and eloquence; he explained the cause and effect in just a few words.
Han Sanping sighed and said, "Awei and the others were indeed impulsive in this matter, but the Taoist priest also made a mistake, speaking too casually during the interview."
Let's not dwell on these things anymore, and there's no need to pursue past rights and wrongs. My opinion is that we should try to make peace for now.
Ah Wei's image has already been ruined quite a bit, and you've vented your anger, so don't be so aggressive.
I still need to use him in my film.
"No problem, Third Master. If you've given the order, we'll definitely back down. I'll make the arrangements right away."
Wang Zhongjun was a very competent lackey; he did exactly what Han Sanping told him to do.
Shen Gongbao barely spoke throughout the entire process.
After three pots of tea had been brewed, Wang Zhongjun took his leave, leaving only Shen Gongbao and Han Sanping in the office. Only then did Shen Gongbao ask, "President Han, do you think the movie *Red Cliff* will be a success?"
Upon hearing this question, Han Sanping smiled and said, "Master, please don't point it out to me. I've been working in the film industry for so many years, do you think I can't see that there's a problem with the script for Red Cliff?"
I understand why you mock John Woo's adaptation as rubbish; he really doesn't have much culture and only knows some petty tricks of gangster fighting.
However, the quality of a film cannot be simply judged by its script.
Commercial films, in particular, need a sustainable development model.
Look at the movie "Getting Home" that was released at the beginning of the year. It was such a good movie, but it only grossed a few million at the box office.
We should certainly encourage these kinds of films, but they don't contribute much to the development of the Chinese film industry!
Han Sanping poured Shen Gongbao another cup of tea and posed a very pointed question: "King of Kung Fu also invested 7000..."
Tens of thousands of US dollars, about the same as Red Cliff.
Why do you think I value Red Cliff so much, but not so much Kung Fu King?
Shen Gongbao earnestly asked, "I'm a newcomer, please guide me, General Manager Han."
Han Sanping took a sip of tea and gave his answer: "Because the investment in Kung Fu King is basically all in big-name stars, while in Red Cliff, the actors' salaries only account for a small part of the investment."
Most of our money is spent on the film industry as a whole.
If I make a film called Red Cliff and invest five or six hundred million yuan, how many film industry workers can it support?
How many upstream and downstream companies involved in film and television production can benefit from this and achieve certain development?
Even if Red Cliff loses money at the box office, the money I invested in various aspects will still greatly benefit the development of the entire film industry.
Once you understand these things, you'll realize that the quality of the Battle of Red Cliffs isn't that important to me.
After all, if you want to get things done, you can't just pursue perfection; you have to get things done first!
Moreover, the current film market only recognizes the model of big directors and big stars. Even if Red Cliff is a terrible film, as long as I manage it well, breaking even or even making a small profit is no problem at all.
Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao nodded, understanding Han Sanping's approach.
Putting aside personal interests, Han Sanping, as one of the leaders in the film industry, is not seeking short-term box office profits, but rather to promote the development of the entire industry.
From the audience's perspective, of course they want to see good movies;
However, from Han Sanping's perspective, the industrial development driven by the bidding for large projects is the more practical aspect.
As for high-quality films, he also provides appropriate support; these are two parallel and uninterrupted approaches.
This is why Han Sanping was willing to produce Red Cliff even though he knew the script was terrible.
It's true that where you stand determines where you look; everyone's perspective differs depending on their position.
Moreover, 2007 was indeed the era of blockbusters in the film market, with almost all of the top ten box office films being big-name directors and stars.
Crazy Stone is an extremely rare dark horse, and its replicability is not yet apparent.
Han Sanping's approach was not wrong. The film Red Cliff lost money domestically, but made a profit overseas. Including subsequent copyright revenue, it barely broke even.
Having figured this out, Shen Gongbao immediately changed his approach. He couldn't possibly be more professional than Han Sanping in the film industry, so he decided to take the feng shui route instead.
So Shen Gongbao asked directly, "President Han, do you want to climb higher?"
Upon hearing this, Han Sanping immediately perked up.
He got up, took out the best tea from the cabinet behind him, and had his secretary stand guard outside the door and lock it from the inside.
He then smiled and said, "I've long wanted to ask you for some guidance, Daoist Master."
