The reason why Shen Chen asked Zhuo Yan to take Shen Yu to Shenzhen instead of Shanghai was, on the one hand, because he took into account that only Madam Shen and Shen Yan were in Shanghai now. And these two women had a very strong dislike for Shen Yu. In order to avoid complications, Shen Chen did not want the two groups to get together; on the other hand, he took into consideration the relationship between Shen Yu and Yu Qingqing.
In Shen Chen's opinion, no matter whether Shen Yu and Yu Qingqing, mother and son, had ever had contact before, after all, the mother and son are connected by heart. Chen Chen would not investigate whether Yu Qingqing knew about Chen Yan's child swapping. Even if Yu Qingqing really didn't know, she was really cruel enough to abandon her own flesh and blood. But it has been twenty years. As long as Yu Qingqing still had a little bit of shame as a mother, she would have been emotionally unstable when she saw the 20-year-old Shen Yu. Think about how her own son grew up in the Shen family, how he was clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and how much care he received before his background was exposed. And what happened to the real second son of the Shen family after he was abandoned by her in the rental house? Is he still alive now?
There is no need for too much mood swings like this. Even a tiny bit of guilt, if used well, may be an effective chess piece in the acquisition of Aiqing Trading.
As for the dirty things that Zhuo Yan was thinking about in his heart, Chen Chen certainly didn't know. Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't bother to care. If he had the time and energy, Chen Chen would rather think carefully about how to use Shen Yu's existence to persuade Yu Qingqing's husband to agree to the acquisition. After all, judging from Yu Qingqing's husband's current actions and requests, this man still cares about Yu Qingqing very much. Therefore, because he loves Shen Yu, he should also feel a little bit of pity and guilt towards him.
Of course, it doesn’t matter even if there isn’t one. Anyway, they do business, not relying on sympathy or charity. Didn’t Yu Qingqing and her husband also have a son? Even if they don't consider Shen Yu and the real Second Master Shen, this couple would not fail to consider the future of their son. Now the acquisition of Aiqing Trading is a foregone conclusion. Whether it happens sooner or later, it is just a matter of time and the amount of investment.
If Yu Qingqing and her husband were smart, they would agree to the offer as soon as possible, take the money and leave, and their son could still enjoy a life of luxury for the rest of his life. If he really wanted to hold on to the end, Chen Chen would have no other options. When Yu Qingqing's husband was engaged in foreign trade, he often used trade channels to engage in smuggling business. If this dark history were to be exposed, it would not be just a matter of whether Yu Qingqing's husband would agree to the acquisition.
However, until the last step, Chen Chen didn't want to break up with this person with dirty hands. He is no longer the sixteen-year-old boy who was aggressive and eager to be recognized by the group. Chen Chen hoped that many things could be solved more tactfully and gently.
Not to mention what Chen Chen was planning, here in Beijing, ever since the mainland remake of "Black and White" was released on Valentine's Day, February 14th, because the previous publicity was very thorough, and on the day of the premiere, the crew invited the most authoritative filmmakers and media people in the industry to watch the movie. After the premiere, discussions about which version of the movie "Black and White" - Hong Kong version or the mainland remake - were better have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Some people think that the Hong Kong version is the most classic, while others think that the mainland remake has good acting skills from all the cast members and that the filming is more sincere in many details. Of course, there are also some film critics who criticized the mainland version for having to abandon some of the artistry and deeper connotations in order to cater to the censorship requirements of the Optoelectronics Department... It is precisely because of these mixed reviews and different opinions that more audiences are interested in this movie. So much so that on the day when the remake of "Black and White" premiered in mainland China, the first-day box office exceeded 60 million, which is almost equal to the total box office of "Black and White" in Hong Kong for one month. One week after the movie was released, the box office exceeded 200 million. Although it did not surpass another Hollywood 3D blockbuster, it ranked second on the box office rankings. But the box office figure of 200 million still made the producer of "Black and White" smile from ear to ear.
The total production cost of "Black and White" was less than 30 million. It was released in Hong Kong for five weeks, breaking Hong Kong's box office record in recent years and ultimately grossing 80 million Hong Kong dollars. Make sure that the producers can barely recover their costs and not lose any money. In other words, after the remake of "Black and White" was released in mainland China, every penny earned, after deducting the distributor's share and various costs, fees and taxes, is net profit.
The key point is that the mainland remake of "Black and White" not only sold well at the box office, but also had very good reputation. Although in terms of conception, it is not as cruel and profound as the Xiangcheng version, and is filled with fatalistic artistic connotations throughout. However, the mainland version filled the last gap in the cast after re-employing the professional actor Gu Yuzhang. This is what the outside world commonly calls "everyone's acting skills are online." Unlike the Xiangcheng version, every time Yan Yu, played by Shen Yu, appears on the screen, his terrible acting always makes the audience lose interest immediately.
At this point, the gossip media immediately thought of the Xiangcheng Lin family, which was bankrupt and even had its top executives thrown into jail for sex scandals and serious charges of raping minors. Due to the ban issued by Optoelectronics, these media reporters are not able to mention Shen Yu's name directly. I can only use the Spring and Autumn style of writing to first express my vague feelings. As long as you have any connection with someone, or to be more precise, anyone who goes along with someone will not have a good ending - for example, the Luo family in Shanghai, who were in cahoots with Shen Yu and also slandered Mr. Tao of Feixun.com on the Internet; for example, the Lin family in Xiangcheng, who forcefully promoted Shen Yu and put great pressure on the organizers of the Golden Crow Awards to give the Best Newcomer Award to Shen Yu, and also opposed Mr. Tao everywhere. Even Lin Rong'an didn't forget to hire someone to kill someone before he fled with the money, and he suffered the consequences...
Huh? To put it this way, it seems as if someone has been constantly tying himself to President Tao since his debut, and the two of them are in conflict with each other, with one person doing well while the other is having bad luck.
Some tabloids that just wanted to attract attention for sales immediately started to irresponsibly speculate on the so-called numerology, and even invited a Feng Shui master to say that someone's horoscopes were incompatible with Tao Mu's, so the two were destined to conflict with each other.
However, this statement immediately met with strong dissatisfaction and criticism from the ceramics community. What Tao Mu's fans hate most is someone who keeps being tied to Tao Mu since his debut. In the eyes of these fans, this person cannot be compared with their President Tao in terms of qualifications or abilities, and is just relying on his fake background to be tied to President Tao. For so many years, it has been like a dog-skin plaster that cannot be torn off no matter how hard you try. Now, Optoelectronics has finally issued a ban order, prohibiting major media from mentioning a certain person in their reports. As a result, these gossip media still make vague hints and hints in order to increase sales, which is really disgusting.
After being banned by Optoelectronics for so long, most of Shen Yu’s fans have also switched to the platform. The fan ecology in the entertainment industry is so forgetful. If an idol doesn't show up for three months, he or she will easily be forgotten. Moreover, Shen Yu hasn't produced any good works in the two years since his debut. Instead, he has been involved in various scandals and dark histories. Not only Tao Mu's fans hate him, but also Yan Sheng's fans and fans of most of the female stars that Shen Yu has worked with don't like this person. In this situation where everyone is calling for his death, even if there are people who really like Shen Yu, they would be embarrassed to jump out and speak for Shen Yu.
Seeing that mentioning Shen Yu failed to attract the attention of netizens, other media were constantly dissed by fans, and gradually stopped tying Tao Mu and Shen Yu together. Then he changed the subject and mentioned again the different performances of the two actors who played Yan Yu in the film.
"Black and White" is currently being screened in mainland China. In addition, many pirated DVDs of the Hong Kong version have flowed into the mainland before. Movie fans can't help but get a sneak peek. Now that I am watching the mainland remake, I certainly have a say. After leaving the cinema, I would like to share some thoughts on the movie. I agree very much with the film critics who said that the Hong Kong version is more classic, complete and profound, but the acting of all the cast members in the mainland version is online, and the ending is more grand and more in line with mainstream values.
When thinking about an actor who had poor acting skills but insisted on winning the Best Newcomer Award, this comparison directly led to Gu Yuzhang, who played himself well and had good acting skills, standing out and becoming popular for no apparent reason.
The word-of-mouth of the mainland remake of "Black and White" was so good that the box office also increased rapidly. The box office exceeded 400 million in just half a month.
Money can move people's hearts. Now, even Director Xu Musen, who had been dissatisfied with the optoelectronics review requirements, shut up. Film art is important, but money is more valuable. Even the most artistic filmmakers have to eat. What's more, the film "Black and White" has nothing to do with art films in terms of subject matter. It is just a commercial film with a gun battle theme. It’s enough for a commercial film to make money, what’s the point of having a bicycle!
Looking at the box office data of at least tens of millions every day, Xu Musen was happy, and he was also very grateful to Tao Mu for his righteous action at that time. All members of the entire "Black and White" production team knew that if Tao Mu had not intervened, the mainland version of "Black and White" would not have passed the review of the optoelectronics department so quickly, let alone been released so promptly.
Although Tao Mu served as the producer of the mainland remake of "Black and White" and made a lot of money, the bulk of the profits still belonged to the Xiangcheng production team. Of course, there are also several main actors who brought in money to join the crew. Including the Shen Group, which doesn't get along well with Tao Mu.
Also feeling very happy is the Optoelectronics Department, a superior department that is often scolded and blamed by filmmakers. Although "Black and White" was a big hit at the mainland box office and had a good reputation, it had no direct relationship with the Optoelectronics review department. However, the behavior of all filmmakers blaming optoelectronics for unsatisfactory box office results has made the image of optoelectronics increasingly embarrassing in the public's mind.
Now, a better work than the original has finally been released. Not only did it sell well at the box office, but most importantly, its overall reputation was even better than the Hong Kong version. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of those Hong Kong producers who clamored that Guangdian did not understand movies. The masters of optoelectronics are definitely proud of themselves. He even took the initiative to ask Tao Mu when he would hold a celebration party for the release of "Black and White" in mainland China.
Tao Mu understood the meaning of the song and said immediately: "Originally, I wanted to hold a celebration party after the film was screened in the mainland. This way, it will be easier to coordinate the schedule with all parties. But I didn't expect that "Black and White" would be so popular in the mainland. If the celebration party can be brought forward, it may stimulate the box office."
Then he very tactfully and shyly invited the leaders of Optoelectronics to attend the celebration party. After all, the great success of the mainland version of "Black and White" is also due to the active participation of the leaders of Optoelectronics. You know, after the mainland version of "Black and White" passed the review of Optoelectronics, the leaders of Optoelectronics felt that the quality of the film was good, and even took the initiative to help Tao Mu negotiate the screening schedule with the theater distributors.
So when Tao Mu said that the leaders of Optoelectronics had made an indelible contribution, it was by no means just a compliment.
This is exactly what the leaders of optoelectronics want. The old men and women are very hot-tempered and have always been unwilling to communicate with those Hong Kong filmmakers who always slander them for not understanding movies. But if the situation is reversed and optoelectronics prevails, then the situation will be different.
There's nothing wrong with having a celebratory dinner together. After all, Tao Mu is such a smart, sensible and capable child, and they all went there to support their own child for Tao Mu's sake.
I don’t mean to slap the faces of some intellectuals who claim to know a lot about movies!
