Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 754 - Whatever, you guys chat

Despite their best efforts, directors Fu Dongyu and Liu Zhangmu were unable to obtain any useful information from Deputy Director Dong Xin.

The latter only talked to the two people about the TV Drama Department, the Policy and Regulations Department, and the Network Audiovisual Program Management Department being under tremendous pressure.

As long as public opinion and online public opinion do not calm down or change direction, the radio and television authorities will not be able to issue a statement to certify "Operation Ice Breaking".

To be honest, the two directors really admire the Radio, Film and Television at this moment. After all, they were able to withstand the joint urging of the Ministry of Public Security and Golden Shield Films.

Deputy Director Dong Xin actually secretly came up with a solution.

The goal is to find a way to reverse the current unfriendly public opinion towards Chen Yu.

As long as there aren't so many sharp and harsh noises on the domestic Internet, the Radio, Film and Television Administration guarantees that it will stamp the final red seal within ten working days.

“At first glance, it does boost confidence, but it involves operations…”

Director Liu Zhangmu turned around and glanced at the beautiful radio and television office building, then pinched the outer pocket of his jacket, muttering in a complicated tone.

Director Fu Dongyu immediately handed the old fellow a Hulunbuir cigarette, then looked down at his wrist. It was not yet past eight forty.

Director Liu Zhangmu fumbled out a plastic lighter and shook it vigorously twice, then muttered to Fu Dongyu:
"Let's eat our stomachs first before visiting Golden Shield Films?"

Director Fu Dongyu weighed the car keys. Wang Jinsong had previously told him that there was a nearby restaurant that made delicious braised pork.

Director Liu Zhangmu stood there and blinked.

Eating such a heavy meal so early in the morning? The two brothers have to go to the Golden Shield Film and Television later.

Director Fu Dongyu flicked the ash from his cigarette and curled his lips. Nowadays, no one should look down on anyone else for being flirty.

There are two Golden Shield Film and Television Centers in China. The one under the name of the Ministry of Public Security is located on Lianhuachi East Road in Yanjing, and the one under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Security is located on Taiping Road in Yanjing.

There is no direct competition between the two companies.

The former mainly invests in crime-related works, while the latter prefers to participate in war-related movies and TV series.

I remember when iQiyi tried to sell the first version of the script of "Operation Ice Breaking" to Taiping Road Golden Shield, the corresponding department was unwilling to pay attention to iQiyi.

IQiyi then had to settle for the second best and planned to borrow a few young men from its film and television actor troupe to serve as supporting actors for Chen Yu.

But it was also rejected very firmly.

After iQiyi hit a snag on Taiping Road, it sadly turned around and thought of contacting Lianhuachi East Road.

After enjoying their stewed pork and steamed buns with Arctic Ocean, the two brothers chewed wolfberries and betel nuts while looking for a parking space. At the same time, they called the contact person of director Fu Dongyu.

At ten o'clock, the two directors met up with the iQiyi public relations team and leisurely walked into the conference room on the third floor, but they felt that the atmosphere was wrong as soon as they stepped through the door.

In theory, when both parties talk about working together to put pressure on the radio and television, there is no need for the financial department to bring all the account books.

The head manager of iQiyi's public relations team pinched her little finger secretly, suppressed her curiosity, and arranged for everyone to taste the newly roasted Maoshan Green Tea.

Director Fu Dongyu looked at Director Liu Zhangmu secretly and raised his eyebrows.

The crew of "Operation Ice Breaking" did not waste funds obviously.

Although problems such as abusing public power for personal gain do exist, it is cleaner than 80% of domestic crews.

After all, there are no popular actors in the crew.

Director Fu Dongyu sat down without saying a word. In the current situation, he could only wait for Jindun to make the first move and wait and see what the other party was planning.

Jindun also skipped the pleasantries and went straight to opening the account book to talk about some questionable expenses.

Director Fu Dongyu listened calmly and took a sip of hot tea.

Regarding issues such as the use of funds, the production director and the crew's financial department should be called in for detailed discussions, and personnel from the relevant departments of iQiyi should also be included.

It seems inappropriate for Jin Dun to talk only to Director Fu Dongyu at this time.

The head manager of iQiyi's public relations team leaned forward and said, Director Liu Zhangmu nodded, he was not worried about the audit anyway.

Nearly 70% of the issues just listed by Jindun are related to and involve Chen Yu, such as his accommodation and travel standards during his time with the group.

Chen Yu did not stay in the hotel rented by the crew, but enjoyed a luxurious independent suite outside.

The excess of the room fee is borne by oneself. However, when Jindun checked the accounts, it suddenly found that there was a problem with the reimbursement of the fee.

According to actual visits and investigations later on, the total difference in room rates should be over 2.34 million.

That is, the crew will bear 4 million and Chen Yu will be responsible for the extra 2.34 million.

However, the hotel that the crew arranged for Chen Yu was not worth four million at all.

According to the top luxury configuration, it would cost at most two million.

So the crew's account was inflated by 2 million. The Golden Shield wants to know where the money is. As for whether to hold them accountable, it is not yet clear.

To be honest, Director Fu Dongyu had only heard about this matter.

Director Liu Zhangmu had no idea what was going on.

The manager of iQiyi’s public relations team was also speechless. Is it necessary for Golden Shield to hold on to a mere two million yuan?

Or does Jindun just want to use this as an excuse to bargain?

After all, Golden Shield has never been satisfied with the share of profits from Operation Ice Breaking.

Right now this work is being blocked by the radio and television authorities, and iQiyi is in urgent need of joining forces with Golden Shield.

The head of iQiyi's public relations team felt powerless at this point and looked to the two directors for help.

Director Fu Dongyu has always been firmly in the center of the military camp.

Director Liu Zhangmu looked around as if it had nothing to do with him.

The meeting room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was silently calculating in their minds.

Seeing that the opponent was not taking the bait, Golden Shield began to list the discrepancies in the accounts.

Director Liu Zhangmu had been holding back his anger from the start, and now, listening to the finance department's nagging, he really felt a little restless in his chair.

"I think it is very necessary to call Chen Yu back from London."

Director Liu Zhangmu's words almost made Director Fu Dongyu spit out the tea he had drunk.

Since the old friend has been annoyed to the point of breaking down.

Then Director Fu Dongyu can no longer be so arrogant and must speak up to support his old friend.

"I think what Lao Liu said just now is correct. What if Chen Yu deliberately paid more money? After all, that little gangster is a combination of the bourgeoisie and the landlord class."

If Golden Shield doesn't want to talk about joining forces to put pressure on the radio and television.

So let's stop wasting each other's time.

Seeing that the situation at Golden Shield has reached a dead end, we don't want to bother with any more details. Operation Ice Breaking is a highly anticipated and highly recommended work internally.

Golden Shield hopes to wring more actual benefits from iQiyi.

After all, apart from the capital investment, Golden Shield has also been very dedicated in coordinating the venue and contacting the police department.

The reason I sang this song today is purely to give iQiyi a heads-up.

Recently, the two sides have started comprehensive strategic cooperation consultations on film and television dramas. If iQiyi does not give in, the consultations may be difficult.

The head manager of iQiyi's public relations team simply ignored the situation, as the current situation had already exceeded his authority and capabilities.

The only solution now is to call the senior leaders after leaving home.

Let the core senior management finalize the response plan.

Didn’t you see that both directors were too lazy to say anything?

This kind of crap is like a hot potato, and even if you do it well, it's a thankless task.

So hide if you can, delay if you can.

Does the release of "Operation Ice Breaking" have anything to do with him as the manager of a small public relations team?
