China Entertainment Anchor

"Some netizens of "In the Name of the People" currently say that this drama is..." Team Leader Zhou told Zhang Yang about the situation.

He knows what the boss cares about most about this TV series. If such noises are too loud, it will have a bad impact on the boss.

"Is it arranged by someone?"

"That doesn't seem like it."

"Then just leave it alone." If someone deliberately arranged it, it would definitely have to be dealt with, but now that some people are complaining on their own, there is no need to care.

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he walked out of the studio.

Team Leader Zhou was a little disappointed when he saw his boss walking away. He felt that he was almost useless.

Internet companies move quickly. They signed the contract from Zhang Yang on the afternoon of the 7th and obtained the online broadcast rights of "In the Name of the People". That night, Teng Xun and Aiqiyi began to promote it in unison.

Netizens are now happy because they finally don’t have to watch TV commercials.

The broadcast progress of their two platforms is not only slower than that of Yangma, but also two episodes slower than that of Suzhou Satellite TV, which has been broadcasting for 1.5 rounds. This made netizens complain again.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a week has passed, and the time has come to the 12th. During this period, the ratings of "In the Name of the People" have been rising steadily.
Even Suzhou Satellite TV, which is following the broadcast, also ranked second in the ratings during the same time period. To put it simply, the first and second places in the same time period were both broadcasting the same TV series.

The highest ratings in China Central Television have also reached 9.4%, breaking the 3.9th mark is just around the corner. Of course, the average ratings are only 2017%, but this is .
Since entering the Internet era, the TV station's ratings have been declining year by year. This time "In the Name of the People" can be said to have made a big turnaround.

Zhang Yang knew when he saw the ratings that a celebration banquet was inevitable.

When he was at home with his children this afternoon, he was thinking about where to hold a celebration party. After all, the TV series "Yangma" was ending in the past few days.

When he was bored with his thoughts, he turned on his phone and prepared to browse some information to change his mind. As soon as he opened his scarf, he saw an explosive news.

Zhang Yang was about to click on the hot search to take a look, but his scarf unexpectedly collapsed beautifully!

Oh my God! How much do netizens like to eat melon?
Fortunately, it returned to normal in less than half an hour, so Zhang Yang saw the freshly released video.

A certain actress and Xiaoxianrou were having an intimate conversation together in front of the photo. I don’t know what they were talking about, but they were very excited.

The man was teased by a certain actress and took the initiative to lean towards the actress. She loved this little girl very much.

"Dad, what is this aunt doing?" Zhang Hongyi asked Zhang Yang with a puzzled look.

Zhang Yang was sitting on a chair with his upper body leaning forward, holding his cell phone with his left hand.

As a result, he was so absorbed in watching the video that he didn't even know when Zhang Hongyi came to him.

It seems that Zhang Yang also likes to eat melons.

"You kid, what are you looking at? Be careful of needle eyes." Zhang Yang raised his right hand and rubbed Zhang Hongyi's hair, saying angrily.

"What is the eye of a needle?" Zhang Hongyi looked at Zhang Yang innocently and looked confused.

“You’ll get needle holes if you look at unclean things, you know?”

"Then Dad, why don't you have needle eyes?" Zhang Hongyi seemed a little unconvinced, and he saw the two of them kissing. What's so great about this? There are so many aunties who like to kiss him.

Zhang Yang put down the phone, grabbed both sides of Zhang Hongyi's face with both hands, and shook it gently: "Your father is an adult, how can you be the same as you are a child?"

As soon as Zhang Yang put down his hand holding his son, Zhang Hongyi immediately pursed his lips. He was unhappy. His father pinched his face even though he had done nothing. Did he, Zhang Hongyi, have no face?

At this time, Liu Yifei walked into the room. When Zhang Hongyi saw it, he immediately waved his little hands and shouted to complain to her: "Mom, Mom, it hurts when Dad grabs my face."

"Are you being naughty again?" Liu Yifei didn't believe that Zhang Yang would pull his face for no reason, so she immediately blamed her son.

"No." Zhang Hongyi stamped his feet anxiously and said loudly. He felt that he was too wronged today. Why do children have no human rights?

"Okay, okay, let's go play!" Zhang Yang gently pushed Zhang Hongyi in front of him, letting him go in and play with his toys!
Zhang Hongyi snorted and turned away. He felt that his parents were not good people.

Liu Yifei walked to the chair next to Zhang Yang and sat down. She looked at Zhang Yang with a little confusion: "Why are you teasing him?"

His son knew that Zhang Hongyi's behavior just now indeed seemed like he had been wronged.

"Here, let me show you something good." Zhang Yang didn't say anything to her, but picked up his phone and tilted it towards Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei looked at it and covered her mouth, with a look of disbelief on her face. Then she remembered something, hit Zhang Yang with her hand and said: "I asked you to look after the child, and you just looked at this thing? Zhang Hongyi didn't see it too, did he?"

"I didn't notice that he suddenly walked up to me, and he actually asked me why I didn't have needle holes, you little bastard." Zhang Yang said angrily after thinking about what his son had just said.

After he finished speaking, he thought of something again and pointed at Liu Yifei: "You are a rabbit, he is just a little brat!" After he said this, he laughed. Liu Yifei chuckled, took Zhang Yang's arm and gritted her teeth: "Little bastard?" "Little bastard?"

Zhang Yang hissed, and Liu Yifei actually pinched his arm with her hands, pinched the skin and twisted it.

Zhang Yang was used to her pinching, and it didn't hurt at all, but she actually pinched and turned, who could bear this.

"Let go." Zhang Yang struggled with his arm and got rid of her clutches.

Liu Yifei wanted to come again, Zhang Yang looked at her and warned: "If you come again, I will go crazy!"

"Fuck it!" Liu Yifei was not afraid of Zhang Yang at all. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Yang provocatively.

"Pay attention, Zhang Hongyi is still inside!" Zhang Yang persuaded her nicely. It's not that he's afraid, he just thinks it's a bad influence in front of his children.

Liu Yifei finally calmed down. After reading the gossip about a certain actress, she suddenly remembered something and picked up her phone to search.

"Do you think this crew is toxic?"

Zhang Yang turned to look at Liu Yifei's phone, which contained the cast list. When he looked at the director, he felt strange again: "Why don't you think anything happened to the little devil?"

The little devil used to spend a lot of money, but now he behaves like a good student.

"People are not allowed to change their ways yet." After Liu Yifei said this, she took off her shoes and went in to comfort her son. The little guy was wronged today.

The next day, while Zhang Yang was watching the production of the trailer for "The Meg" in the studio, his cell phone rang.

Kevin Tsujihara called him.

After Zhang Yang took it, he thought, is there really something wrong with sending "Joker" to the Shanghai International Film Festival?

"Hey, Kevin."

"Director, are you free recently? How about you do me a favor?"

Zhang Yang saw that it was not about the Shanghai Film Festival, so what else did he need help with?
"what happened?"

"The director of "Justice League" Zack Snyder's daughter passed away. He was extremely sad. He has withdrawn from the post-production of the film.
This movie is the final film of the first phase of our DC superheroes, and there is no room for failure. I feel that I can rest assured only if you come now. "Kevin Tsujihara sincerely extended an invitation to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang didn't believe a word of it. There was really something wrong at home. He could just take a break for a while, but he just quit. There must be other problems inside.

Zach is not an unknown person. He has been cooperating with Warner for many years. He was the one who made the Warner movie "Watchmen", "Man of Steel" in 13 and "Batman vs. Superman" in 16. They are all directors.

In fact, the root cause of the problems with the "Justice League" movie was that Zack's "Batman v Superman" project did not perform as expected, leaving him without the confidence to speak.

It can be said that the movie showed signs of failure from the very beginning. It was Kevin Tsujihara's decision to let Zack shoot "Justice League". Everything was fine. He is the boss of Warner! But in May 16, DC Films was established.
That's right, DC didn't have an independent film company before, and the purpose of establishing it this time is also very clear, which is to compete with Marvel Studios.

As soon as DC Films was established, the CEO established a new line for their company's movies, which can be summarized as full of hope and optimism. This is the opposite of DC's previous style.
This stumped Zach. The person he had to report to had changed from Warner boss Kevin to DC Films boss, and he was still someone with completely opposite opinions.

What troubled Zach even more was that Larry Fang, the royal photographer he had worked with for nearly ten years, withdrew due to schedule reasons and was replaced by German photographer Fabian Wagner of the "Game of Thrones" series.

Without the help of his confidants, Zale would not have been able to do it smoothly. Furthermore, according to the requirements of the DC studio, Wagner did not use the high contrast and saturated light commonly used by Zale directors. It’s no wonder that he was so happy to shoot!
At the beginning of this year, the rough cut of "Justice League" was completed and had an internal screening at Warner Bros.
They had seen the rough cut and concluded that it was not suitable for viewing!

All these factors, plus Zach's own family trouble, made him frustrated and simply quit.

"Kevin, I'm sorry..." Zhang Yang refused without even thinking. He was just kidding. He, the two Oscar winners for Best Picture, does post-production for others. What are you dreaming about?
"Director, in addition to the salary, we can give you the entire bill for the movie this time." Kevin Tsujihara said with great determination.

In the past, Zhang Yang's share of the revenue in the United States was just for the movie box office. This time, Warner actually gave the movie a full share of the revenue for the first time. It can be seen how much they value this movie.

Of course, it is also due to Zhang Yang's previous brilliant record.

Zhang Yang was a little moved by what he said, but he quickly came to his senses: "Kevin, if you are willing to let me reshoot, I will agree to it."

It would be impossible for Zhang Yang to do post-production for someone else's movie, but there would be no problem in reshooting "Justice League" by himself. Of course, the script would definitely have to be redone.

"No, the most we can do is accept reshoots. The movie must be released as scheduled this year." Kevin refused and stated his bottom line.

This time, the entire Warner board of directors was able to spend a lot of money to hire Zhang Yang to do post-production work, and even paid out all of the film's accounts for this.

This is because the parent company Time Warner will merge with AT&T in 2018, and the movie "Justice League" must be released before the merger in order to increase the company's stock price.
