Chapter 216 Xu Kai Is Playing Hooligans (please subscribe!)

...

"The position of Huaguo's number one director is about to change hands?

——The new-generation director Yu Qingyun challenged Zhang Mou, the number one director in Huaguo, head-on! "

"Whether "Blood Maze" or "Ten Miles of Foreign Market" loses the box office of domestic movies, the director donates 1 million yuan for charity. Does Zhang dare to take up the challenge proposed by Yu Qingyun?"

"Chen Lan, president of the Huaguo Red Society, highly praised Director Yu Qingyun's support for Huaguo's charity, calling it the hope of Huaguo's charity."

"Is it arrogant, young and frivolous, or is a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, or is there something to rely on? I am starting to look forward to the young director Yu Qingyun and his "Ten Miles of Foreign Fields."

"The author has noticed that there have been rumors about Yu Qingyun's affair with Zhu Bing and Yang Xindong recently, saying that Yu Qingyun is not good enough for Zhu Bing or Yang Xindong, but the author thinks that the opposite may be the case. Zhu Bing and Yang Xindong are likely to be willing to be by Yu Qingyun's side because of Yu Qingyun's character, structure, and personal charm."

"I hope that Zhang can take up the challenge. The so-called "never forget the original intention, you will always be the same." Having a grateful heart of "giving back to the society" is the courage, responsibility and self-cultivation of a public figure."

"This world belongs to you as well as to us, but in the final analysis it belongs to young people. Young director Yu Qingyun is a very good young man. I like you."

"..."

Zhang never expected that he would be framed just because of a careless remark he said casually!
1 billion!
This is 2009, 1 million is definitely an astronomical figure, a large amount of money that ordinary people dare not even think about!
Let’s put it this way, over the years, each of Zhang’s movies has made a lot of money, but the one that got to him in the end is only tens of millions. He has to make several movies to earn 1 million !

What if Zhang should not fight?

The world may say that Zhang, the number one director in Huaguo, is afraid of a new director, and his name does not match his name.

That's all, but the problem is that at this critical moment when "Blood Maze" is about to be released, if Zhang does not dare to fight, especially if the bet of this bet is still to be donated to charity, it will inevitably be a big hit. Affect the box office of "Blood Maze".

And it’s not over yet, I’m afraid that if Zhang refuses to fight, he will completely lose the hearts of the audience. At that time, no matter how good-looking the movie he made, no one will go to the cinema to watch it or spend money to support it. If he dies, then his box-office appeal as the number one director in Huaguo will probably be wiped out.

And Zhang Mou should fight.

If he wins, Zhang will get nothing, and even those who benefited may not be grateful to him—those people will only be grateful to Xu Kai who made this happen.

If he loses, Zhang not only loses his fame, but also loses 1 million yuan. Those who benefit will also not be grateful to him—those people will only be grateful to Xu Kai who made this happen.

The problem is, this won't do much good to the box office of "Blood Maze"—with Zhang's reputation as the number one director in Huaguo, how can he be short of this popularity bonus?
More importantly, even if this is beneficial to the box office of "Blood Labyrinth", it has nothing to do with Zhang - he earns a basic salary plus a share, and his income is guaranteed in drought and flood.

Under such circumstances, why does Zhang want to bet his wealth and reputation for the benefit of a large number of people?
It can be said that this matter is really of no benefit to Zhang.

Zhang was so depressed that he even scolded Xu Kai at home: "This mad dog, why did you have to catch me and bite me? I carried your child and jumped into the well? You want to step on me so much?"

Xu Kai's purpose can be said to be Sima Zhaozhi's heart, and everyone knows it.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that Xu Kai's move is nothing more than to tie himself to Zhang, and to tie the upcoming "Ten Miles of Foreign Market" and the upcoming "Blood Labyrinth" together. The fame of Zhang and "Blood Labyrinth", and the fame of Xu Kai and "Ten Miles of Foreign Trade".

How to say that, a straw thrown on the street is rubbish, tied to Chinese cabbage can be sold for the price of cabbage, tied to hairy crabs is the price of hairy crabs.

Now, Xu Kai and the straw "Ten Miles of Foreign Trade" are garbage that can be seen everywhere on the street, but he insists on being tied to the expensive hairy crabs like Zhang and "Blood Maze", and he insists on selling them at the price of hairy crabs.

Do you think Zhang is angry?
The most important thing is that Xu Kai is obviously playing a hooligan, but no one will say anything about Xu Kai, and everyone is even praising Xu Kai.

why?
That's because, no matter what the outcome of this bet is, the winner will be Hua Guo's charity, while the loser is just a director.

Let's say that.

Big stars and big directors can earn tens of millions of dollars for a film, and a top director like Zhang can earn tens of millions, or even tens of millions, for a film.

And how much money can an ordinary person earn in a lifetime?

Okay, let's not talk about ordinary people, but scientists.

Scientists, who dedicate their youth, contribute to the country, and contribute to all mankind, are admirable. The value they create is beyond the reach of big stars and directors. How much money do they make in their lifetime?
The point is, weren't these so-called big stars and big directors just low-level actors in ancient times?What contributions do they make to the country and mankind, and why do they earn so much?
If you make money, you make money. What’s wrong with using some of it for charity?
Don't forget, the money you earn is all the money of our common people, so why don't you spit it out and donate it to those in need?

In addition to these, many people, especially young people, also fell in love with Xu Kai because of Xu Kai's courage.

Just ask, in 2009, how many people dared to bet 1 million to do charity?

Moreover, what Xu Kai challenged was Hua Guo's number one director!

As far as Xu Kai's courage is concerned, those on the Internet who say that Xu Kai is not good enough for Zhu Bing and that Xu Kai is not good enough for Yang Xindong have all died down.

At the same time, "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" has also received unprecedented attention in the history of Huaguo film.

Three days later, Zhang announced on his personal social platform: Lizi is here to fight!

From Zhang's short four words, it is not difficult to see Zhang's anger.

This is actually understandable, after all, Zhang was forced to fight, how could he not be angry?

To be honest, Zhang actually didn't want to make this bet with Xu Kai, a rascal.

First of all, of course, because there is no benefit to winning, and you have to lose 1 million if you lose.

The point is that Zhang didn't tell anyone that he actually lacked confidence in the movie "Blood Maze".

Zhang hasn't made a film for more than three years because he took over last year's Olympic Games.

The company of Zhang and his old partner Zhang Ping has not received any income for three years because of this.

Zhang Ping, who was anxious to make money, was almost red-eyed.

Zhang also felt that he was sorry for his old partner, so he listened to Zhang Ping and made the movie "Blood Maze".

But not long after the film project was approved, Zhang discovered that Zhang Ping had changed.

In the past, Zhang Ping didn't care about filming or asking Zhang how much he spent, so he just focused on publishing outside.

But now Zhang Ping wants to take care of everything, actors, scripts, and even the specific shooting, he has to intervene.

In order to make "Blood Maze" profitable, Zhang Ping repeatedly lobbied Zhang to use the comedian Shen Yang who was popular in the Spring Festival Gala last year as the leading role, and brought a lot of comedians to star in "Blood Maze".

Zhang Ping believes that many middle-aged and elderly people like to watch these comedians, and they have great box office appeal among middle-aged and elderly people.

Moreover, this group of comedians is cheap, and the salary of all of them combined cannot keep up with the salary of a top-notch first-line star.

Generally speaking, this "Blood Labyrinth" is completely out of line with Zhang's previous art style, which is relatively sunny and snowy.

In other words, the movie "Blood Labyrinth" is actually not directed by Zhang, but by Zhang Ping.

Let me ask, how could Zhang have confidence in such a movie?
But Zhang has already been forced to go to Liangshan by Xu Kai.

The key point is that Zhang Ping is very confident in Zhang and his own "Blood Maze". Therefore, in this situation where he will definitely lose money if he refuses to fight, Zhang Ping urged Zhang to bet with Xu Kai, and said, in case Zhang Mou lost, and for the 1 million, the producer of "Blood Maze" gave Zhang Mou half of it...
