Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 702 Who wouldn't cry?

"On the red carpet of "Personal Tailor", the actress flirtatiously bares her back and shows her butt crack!"

"Personal Tailor" 'sublimates' 'swimsuit' 'uniform temptation', and takes nudity to the extreme!"

When Han Saping was still Mr. Han and not Director Han, he said to the former Director Tong: Li Chen is a cobra. No one knows when this kid will deal a fatal blow to his opponent.

The establishment of Li Chen and Zhou Xingchi's Wuzhen Journey to the West City project is actually the same as Feng Xiaogang Film Commune in Hainan Province.

To put it bluntly, it is a diversified development of film and television companies.

However, Wuzhen Journey to the West City is much stronger than the trio of Huayi, Mission Hills and Feng Xiaogang in terms of investment scale, popularity of both parties, and soft and hard power.

At the premiere of "Personal Tailor", Xu Li suddenly walked up to Wang Zhonglei and whispered something.

There was no change in Wang Zhonglei's expression, but he had already greeted Li Chen's entire family in his heart.

"Director Xu, excuse me for a moment." Wang Zhonglei explained to Xu Ke with a smile.

Xu Ke nodded: "Please go ahead."

Today's premiere of "Personal Tailor" was overshadowed by a scheming bitch who was eager to gain attention.

She was wearing a bare buttocks outfit, with the crack of her butt showing. If you didn't know, you would think you had accidentally entered a red light district.

She directly stole the limelight from several main creators. The key point is that her bloated figure is not attractive at all and has nothing to do with sexiness. Instead, it caused ridicule from the media.

Doesn't this completely confirm the "vulgar" approach of "Personal Tailor"?

Wang Zhonglei was already furious, and now he was even angrier.

Without saying a word, he walked towards a corner of the scene first, with Xu Li following closely behind.

Compared with the billionaire group from “The Richest Tomato”, the guests who came today are indeed a bit shabby.

Apart from Xu Ke and Zhang Guoli who can still hold up the scene, although the rest are known as "shining stars", almost all of them are contracted artists of Huayi Group.

Such as Huayi’s number one brother Chen Chusheng, Huayi’s number one sister and hot mom Yao Chen, wife Super Lu, and so on.

Wang Zhonglei's unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of Huayi artists.

"Teacher Zhang, do you know the Journey to the West City in Wuzhen?" Yao Chen felt emotional. The battle between his company and Rongchen Pictures was increasingly at a disadvantage. No, it should be said that they had never had the upper hand.

Zhang Guoli smiled and said, "You can tell how tight-lipped Mr. Li is from the confidentiality of the Spring Festival Gala."

"How could he tell an outsider like me about such an important decision of his company?"

Yao Chen grinned: "That's right, Mr. Li is indeed generous, he spends billions at a time!"

Zheng Kai and Bai Baihe were standing together and were a little distracted. He was also confused now. There are gains and losses in life.

From the moment he became Feng Nanlang, he knew that he would lose his seat as a regular guest on "Running Man".

However, he has almost reaped the benefits of "Running Man", so who wouldn't want to go further?

From the moment he saw Wuzhen Journey to the West City on the hot search list, Wang Zhongjun felt a little regretful.

In particular, Stephen Chow did not deny that the sequel to "Journey to the West" would be filmed in this Journey to the West city.

This saves millions in advertising costs in just one sentence.

Seeing that his brother had been talking to Xu Li for a long time, Wang Zhongjun temporarily put aside his worries.

Many investment institutions came today, including Huayi’s own people, outsiders that Huayi considers to be its own people, and investors who are on the sidelines and hope to become its own people.

Most of the investors attended the premiere of "The Richest Tomato", and naturally they also wanted to watch Feng Xiaogang's hilarious "Private Tailor".
However, halfway through the screening of "Personal Tailor", some people's faces turned unhappy.

Compared to the laughter at the premiere of "The Richest Tomato", "Private Tailor" pales in comparison.

Laughing? It's really a big joke that Feng Xiaogang made himself disgusting to others.

At the same time, Yang Siwei was waiting at the Media Center.

Seeing that the boss had finished his work, he took the initiative to take his coat for him and said goodbye to Liu Dehua and others with a smile.

It was not until she got into her boss's Maybach 57S that Yang Siwei said excitedly, "Boss, after tonight, Huayi's stock price will plunge again."

Li Chen sat alone and relaxed in the spacious back seat. Compared with Yang Siwei's slight excitement, Li Chen seemed calm.

"What do the theaters say?"

"Wanda, Dadi, United Film and China Film have already stated that the premiere date will slightly favor The Richest Tomato. As long as the box office of The Richest Tomato can open a gap with Private Tailor on the premiere day, the subsequent screenings will continue to increase."

Li Chen nodded: "Let's create more topics on the premiere day and send "The Richest Tomato" to the sky."

"Like the line 'Buy everything that glows green' in the movie 'The Richest Tomato', what do you think of?"

Yang Siwei's mind was working very quickly. He just said that the stock price had plunged. Isn't this the perfect hot search term?
Huayi is definitely not the one emitting green light!
"Boss, you are a genius!"

"What genius or not? Many of the jokes in The Richest Tomato can be used as weapons to suppress Private Tailor and Huayi. It depends on how you use them. I'm just giving you a reminder."

After the premiere of "Personal Tailor", on the next day, the 18th, Huayi's nightmare had just begun.

As soon as the market opened in the morning, Huayi’s stock suffered a heavy blow.

Tsinghua University Auditorium

When Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang and the two leading actors of "Private Tailor" Bai Baihe and Zheng Kai were enjoying the applause and cheers from the audience, Wang Zhonglei's cell phone kept vibrating.

However, they were sitting on the stage with their legs crossed, and the audience was full of fans and college students, so Wang Zhonglei couldn't watch it.

It was not until the end of the event that Wang Zhonglei took out his mobile phone, secretly cursing in his heart who was responsible for this series of fatal calls, didn’t he know that he was at the event!

But as soon as he took a look, his expression froze and his voice became hoarse: "It's the limit down."

Feng Xiaogang was right beside him and asked casually, "What's the limit down?"

Wang Zhonglei's face looked frighteningly ugly. He turned his head to look at Feng Xiaogang, said nothing, and just put the phone in front of him.

Feng Xiaogang was stunned: "How is this possible?"

"Mr. Wang, Director Feng, what's wrong?" Baibaihe asked with a smile, not knowing what had happened.

Wang Zhonglei lost all mood and said nothing. He just turned around and walked quickly towards the parking lot.

"Feng, Director Feng, what happened to President Wang?"

"It's okay. Mr. Wang and I have something to do. You two can do whatever you want." After saying that, Feng Xiaogang quickly followed Wang Zhonglei's pace.

The two got in the car, and Feng Xiaogang was still muttering: "It shouldn't be, but it doesn't matter. As long as "Personal Tailor" is released tomorrow, the stock price will definitely go up!"

What Feng Xiaogang said is true. Now we can only hope for the box office of tomorrow's premiere.

"Are you confident that you can win "The Richest Tomato"?"

Feng Xiaogang heard the dissatisfaction in Wang Zhonglei's words, and his expression changed immediately: "Zhonglei, if you don't have confidence in me, there is no need for us to play together anymore."

Wang Zhonglei's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed faster than taking off his pants. He smiled and said, "Look at you, you are serious. I am just worried. You are the barometer of our Huayi."

"My eldest brother and I both believe that Huayi can lose anyone, but not you!"

Feng Xiaogang chuckled: "No, no, no, I can't wear such a big hat. When Wang Jinhua ran away, her words of loyalty to the emperor were so sonorous and powerful."

Wang Zhonglei remembered his brother's words, "It would be better if I were gone," and he burst into laughter: "Xiaogang, you don't know how to talk to the media. Besides, you were forced to do nothing at the time."

"But can you be the same as Wang Jinhua?" Wang Zhonglei didn't say it clearly, but Feng Xiaogang knew what he meant.

Compared with the sky-high contracts offered by the two brothers, Wang Jinhua's attempt to retain them was just a face-saving measure.

Wang Zhonglei cursed Feng Xiaogang in his heart for becoming more and more arrogant, but Huayi really couldn't do without him now.

Wang Zhonglei immediately called Xu Li and said, "I don't care what you do. Before the release tomorrow, I don't want to see the hot searches and headlines about Huayi's stock price hitting the limit down!"

Xu Li's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" character. The question Wang Zhonglei posed was simply harder than climbing to the sky.

He won't do it!

If his opponent was Berna or Guangguang, he might still have the courage to fight, but his opponents were Rongchen Pictures and Yixin Media.

If we pick just one of them, Huayi is not sure of winning.

Sure enough, this impossible task not only topped the hot search list, but also made headlines in all major sections.

China News Service reported

"Personal Customization" was viewed negatively, and Huayi's stock price hit the limit down on the 18th."

Sina Entertainment News

"On the evening of December 12, Huayi held the premiere of "Private Tailor" and a screening for investment institutions. In contrast to "The Richest Tomato" which was favored by a number of investors, "Private Tailor" was widely criticized by investors."

"One securities analyst said, 'I couldn't watch it halfway through,' and some even called it a bad movie."

Sina Finance News

"On the 18th, Huayi opened with a sharp drop and hit the lower limit in the afternoon. According to the Dragon and Tiger List trading data, institutions were the main sellers, among which three institutional dedicated trading units and two sales departments sold Huayi for 6.4 million yuan throughout the day."

"It is understood that before this limit down, Huayi Brothers had been experiencing continuous good news and its stock price remained strong. Some analysts pointed out that in the context of the two big tigers competing for the Lunar New Year box office this year, the market generally had high expectations for "Personal Tailor" before."

"Many people in the film industry and capital market expected the film's box office to be in the 10 billion level. Therefore, compared with the general optimism about "The Richest Tomato", investors who watched the entire film on the 17th felt a huge psychological gap, causing Huayi's stock price to plummet."

The top of Weibo's hot search list is extremely eye-catching.

“Buy all the green lights!”

"Huayi hits limit down!"

"What I mean is, don't buy Huayi! Huayi is dead."

That night, Li Chen fell asleep early while hugging his wife.

The two brothers Wang tossed and turned, and the next morning, they met in the company. All they saw was bloodshot in each other's eyes, just like the red K-line chart in the stock market.

I suffer from insomnia at night and am so nervous during the day that I can hardly control myself.

Fortunately, the popularity was finally gone in the morning. "Private Tailor" was released in full, and Huayi's stock price rose after opening in the morning, with the highest increase of more than 3%!

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In the afternoon, Huayi plunged again, falling another 5.78% at the close, closing at only 29 yuan.

"Brother!" Wang Zhonglei called out sadly.

"Brother!" The tough guy Wang Zhongjun also choked up!

"Ohh Ohh ohh."

The two brothers hugged each other and cried in the office.

After two trading days, Huayi’s market value evaporated by about 63 billion yuan.

Who wouldn't cry?
At the same time, complaints about "Personal Tailor" are becoming more and more intense.

"This kind of movie is actually like listening to a crosstalk, with a few short jokes and some catchy funny lines put together. You can also think of it as Party A and Party B 2.0!"

"There is only one feeling throughout the film: the audience has moved forward, but the director is still standing still or even regressing, but he is still confident that everyone is still waiting for him."

"No one in my circle of friends will come (to see this movie)!"

Compared with "Private Tailor", "The Richest Tomato" was criticized more harshly, and polarization is not enough to describe it.

The first day box office results are out, and the result is that the film that receives the most complaints has higher box office.

And it’s a record high.

The first-day box office of 1.35 million directly broke the box office record for Chinese-language films.

"Personal Tailor" is not low either, with 7100 million, which is a little more than half of "The Richest Tomato".

The outcome of this competition for the best Lunar New Year comedy blockbuster was far beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Han Sanping, the director of the Film Bureau, was so shocked that he fell ill.

As soon as he heard that Director Han was ill, Li Chen ended his work for the day early to visit him.

"Dad, Director Li and Yifei are here to see you!"

"I don't want to see him! This brat is here to make fun of me! Get him out of here!"

"Yifei stays, let him go!"

Li Chen, who was sitting in the living room, heard Han Sanping's full-throated curse.

He smiled at his wife with a look of disbelief, "Does this sound like a patient?"

Liu Yifei laughed secretly, poked her husband with a green jade finger, and made a gesture of silence at her lips.

Just a pair of eyes full of smiles.

Li Chen smiled and didn't care. He stood in the living room, not knowing whether he should go in.

It was Han Jianu who came out and said, "Don't bother with him. He becomes more childish as he gets older!"

"Get whatever you want to drink."

Han Jianu sat on the sofa carefree, not treating the two people as outsiders at all.

"Director Li, don't blame the old man. He just can't stand the looks from those people. He's actually not sick at all!"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "It's good that you're not sick. In fact, Li Chen and I didn't expect the box office to be this high."

Han Saping was in the bedroom with his ear pressed against the door like an old child.

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, he immediately opened the door with a clang.

"Didn't expect it? Yifei, you didn't expect it, I believe you, but how could this kid not expect it?"

"His mouth is even more amazing than that octopus at the World Cup. What else can you imagine?"

Seeing Han Sanping coming out, Li Chen and his wife quickly stood up.

Liu Yifei tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes inconspicuously.

Li Chen laughed and said, "Director Han, you are wrongly accusing me."

"I can guess that 'The Richest Tomato' might be better than 'The Swordsman', but I'm not a god, and this drama is not like 'Charlotte', which has the popularity of Sissi and my signature blessing."

"To be honest, the hype and marketing as well as Shen Tong and Mary are the key to the success of this drama."
