Actor: Thank you.

"Didn't you do it?"

"It's really not me!"

At home, Zhang Yuan, who was talking to Xu Zheng on the phone, cried out that he was wronged.

How could I, such an upright person, bully my colleagues?

I have always regarded my colleagues as my dear friends, relatives, brothers and sisters.

everybody knows……

Xu Zheng was quite excited.

After several of his colleagues encountered problems, the drama he starred in was the direct beneficiary!
Not only was this drama invested by Zhang Yuan, he also helped to coordinate its distribution.

I even gave it a name that would increase the popularity.

He was in charge of all of this, so now that the film is going well, he also thinks that this has something to do with Zhang Yuan.

Besides, he had heard a lot of rumors.

"That's not right." The bald man patted his head.

"There are rumors out there that it's you who plotted to harm the three sages."

Zhang Yuan: …

What is this all about?

"Who did I harm?" Zhang Yuan asked.

I have been very honest recently, and have been keeping a low profile both at work and in my personal life.

This is what people say about me!

“I heard that Director Chen’s “Mei Lanfang” had its reexamination postponed.”

"He cursed you at the drinking party."

"They say you are the one who hyped it up and made it known to everyone."

"As a result, when others do it, you stop them."

"Did I stop him?" Zhang Yuan wondered.

"Anyway, they all say you were the one who stopped it."

"It was you who reported it to the radio and television station."

Zhang Yuan: Huh?

This big hat is put on my head?

"Were you the one who reported it?" Xu Zheng asked.

"Don't listen to their nonsense." Zhang Yuan replied angrily, "It's absolutely impossible that I did it."

"But they have a point."

"And if this continues, our film will be the only one to be released in the same schedule."

"Everyone says you are doing it for profit, to make money and harm your peers."

Zhang Yuan held his forehead in silence, and it took him a while to come back to his senses and reply.

"I couldn't have done this."

"Because I'm not that stupid."

Reporting is a very stupid act and will make you the public enemy of the industry.

Zhang Weiping always reported things, relying on the support of Zhang Yimou, and even publicly criticized Han Sanpin for monopolizing the company.

How can you say such a big truth nonsense?
what's the result?
After breaking up with Zhang Yimou, he is nothing!

No one paid any attention to him anymore.

Just like the suggestion boxes in enterprises and institutions, only a fool would put letters of opinion in them.

Who knows, they might have secretly installed a camera facing the suggestion box.

You send the letter, and your boss will call you for a talk the next day.

Where is the injustice?
Who dares to feel wronged?
If you expose the drum, who knows what kind of injustice will happen!
Did you know that reporting to a higher level is illegal?

The same is true for the State Administration of Film and Television and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

Zhang Yuanzhen went to report it, and within an hour, all his connections knew that he had done it.

Next, I will definitely be targeted by a group of people.

Unless he just wants people to know that he did it and becoming famous is his purpose or means, he would never do such a stupid thing.

"That makes sense!" Xu Zheng nodded vigorously after listening to his explanation.

After getting to know him, he realized that Zhang Yuan was a complicated person.

But there is one thing: this person is definitely not a fool.

"Then why do they say that to you?" Guangtou Xu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"Others may say different things, but if it's Poet Chen..." Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly: "Then he must be too embarrassed to face it, so he's using me as a shield to hide his shame."

There has to be an explanation for this.

Whether it is for the audience or investors.

Given the temper of poet Chen, there is no way he would admit that he messed up.

He is such a face-conscious person.

Whenever the whole family appears in public, they always have a "serious" image.

It seems as if the whole world owes him something.

Chen He's image is so loose that ordinary people cannot connect him with his uncle.

He is such a face-conscious person, and now his film has been forced to be postponed for re-examination. He cannot admit that it is because of his own incompetence.

You have to find an excuse.

Just like when the economies of Western countries were bad in later generations, we couldn’t let these politicians tell the truth.

"We are just incompetent. We insects can't run the country well."

Then should I continue doing this?

We, Commissioner Smith, still have to make money!

It would be better to speak with one voice.

"It's all the bad old Chinese who are messing with us!"

"This is all a conspiracy by the University of East China!"

This not only helps shirk responsibility, but also arouses public indignation, unites people against a common enemy, and consolidates one's own position.

It is indeed a good trick.

But this "good trick" can only work temporarily and does not solve the fundamental problem.

Now poet Chen is using a similar "good trick".

"It was all Zhang Yuan's plan to screw us."

"This is all his conspiracy!"

"We've been tricked!"

"They just bully me because my background isn't as strong as his, and my voice isn't as loud as his." After Zhang Yuan thought about it, he roughly understood it.

“There is a little level, but not much.”

When poet Chen said this, his other unlucky colleagues would surely follow suit and echo him, using this as an excuse to whitewash themselves.

Especially the largest ones.

Chengtian behind "Red Cliff" and Huayi behind "My Captain, My Regiment".

They are all companies in the imperial circle, so they will definitely work together.

Because poet Chen attached great importance to the play "Mei Lanfang", he filmed it as a "turnaround work".

Of course, he would never admit that it was a comeback.

Because turning over means that you have fallen and need to turn over.

He refused to admit that "The Promise" was a failure, so of course he didn't make a comeback.

In any case, he kept a close eye on this film and even asked his wife Chen Hong to star in it.

And the poet Chen's face and pomp were so great.

Even though the Forbidden City had long been banned from filming, the drama still shot real scenes in the Forbidden City.

It is still a non-public area that is not open to the public.

Wherever he goes, there are people who help him get special treatment, and anyone would think they are great.

By putting this hat on Zhang Yuan's head, Director Chen can not only share his own responsibility, but also suppress him at the same time. It is the best of both worlds for him.

"Luckily I didn't go to film this scene."

“Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen.”

"And a scheme to harm the three sages... This is comparing yourself to a sage."

"I am the traitor."

Zhang Yuan also didn't know whether poet Chen regarded himself as Jiang Wen, Deng Ai, or Zhong Hui.

Virtuous.

It's really timely.

Zhang Yuan put down his phone, feeling depressed.

This bunch of old emperors have united again to bully others.

This is just pressing my head and forcing me to suffer in silence.

They were all distributed to me, and the fake ones became real.

"Puchi..." Zeng Jia couldn't hold back and laughed after hearing this.

"Hmm?" Zhang Yuan frowned and looked at her.

The boss is happy even when he is in trouble. I think you don’t want the year-end bonus anymore.

"Hold it back!" Zhang Yuan tapped the table lightly.

"Oh..." Zeng Jia cleared her throat and tensed her expression.

She laughed because it was really interesting.

These people who are considered big shots in their own eyes are so clumsy in doing things.

At the same time, I also feel a sense of empathy.

When Lao Deng made a mistake, he put all the blame on the young man.

This kind of thing happens in all walks of life, but I didn’t expect it to happen in the entertainment industry as well.

"Don't be in a daze, think about how to deal with it, public relations."

"After all, it's common for artists to be slandered. As a manager, you have to find a solution."

laugh.

I make you laugh!

This will give you strength.

You can't laugh anymore.

After Zeng Jia looked worried for a while, he came up with the old idea.

It’s nothing more than issuing a statement to clarify and hiring internet internet troops to help clean up the reputation.

That’s all the tricks.

Faced with the old Dengs who have high-level say in the Chinese film and television industry, she really couldn't think of any good solution.

"All you said was to make up for it later."

"It's not called crisis PR, it's called mending the fold after the sheep have been lost."

"Oh, mending the fence after the sheep have been lost is actually part of crisis public relations."

"But doing so is too passive, and we are just being led by the nose."

Zhang Yuan leaned back in his chair and thought carefully before speaking slowly.

"When someone slanders you and throws dirty water on you, making excuses is the worst option."

"There's a saying, I don't know if you've heard it before."

"what?"

"When the Lighthouse Country says you have weapons of mass destruction, you'd better really have them." Zhang Yuan smiled and snapped his fingers.

"They said I was 'harming three wise men with one scheme'."

"Don't you call yourself Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui, or Deng Ai?"

"Okay, I'll satisfy you then."

Zhang Yuan first called several bigwigs in Hong Kong and explained the situation.

Then adjust your mood.

Clap clap clap!

He slapped his cheek hard, which scared Zeng Jia.

The boss wants to hurt himself?
Then Zhang Yuan rubbed his face again to relax his facial muscles.

"de, re, mi, fa..." He warmed up his throat again.

Zeng Jia didn't understand what was going on, and then she saw Zhang Yuan pick up his phone and dial a number.

beep...

After it rang many times, the other party picked up the phone.

"Hello." The other party's voice had just come out when Zhang Yuan shouted.

"My Lord, the Blue Sky!!!"

"Oh shit..."

Zeng Jia was also frightened by the boss's sudden shout.

I could even more clearly hear the other party's subconscious swearing coming from the phone.

"If you have something to say, say it. Why are you howling?"

The person Zhang Yuan was talking to was Han Sanpin.

Old Han has been involved in a lot of lawsuits recently.

I was just called over by my boss and given a lecture.

"How come every movie invested by your China Film Group Corporation has major safety accidents?"

I'm talking about "Red Cliff" and "Mei Lanfang".

After explaining for a long time, he went back and called everyone to curse them. He was so angry that his voice became hoarse.

But we also know that these guys are following Zhang Yuan's trend.

So when I saw it was him calling, I thought, I didn't look for you, but you took the initiative to look for me.

"I'm so wronged!" Zhang Yuan cried out like he was crying at a funeral.

"How did you feel wronged?"

"Uh...can I protest my injustice?" Zhang Yuan asked back.

"What are you talking about? What are you going to do?"

"I dare not say." Zhang Yuan replied aggrievedly.

"If you don't tell me, I'll hang up." Old Han was very annoyed.

"Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you, let me tell you... It's being rumored that Director Chen said I reported them, which caused the film to be delayed."

"I was wronged!"

Old Han put the phone away for a while and could still hear Zhang Yuan crying out for justice.

Everyone knows this, including Old Han.

If it was really Zhang Yuan who reported it, he would have called him long ago, or even gone to his house in person to scold him and teach him a lesson.

So when he heard about this, Han Sanpin smacked his lips a few times.

He is also a stakeholder.

He is also a member of the old imperial capital.

The excuse found by poet Chen can indeed relieve the pressure on his side.

Then Zhang Yuan will have to suffer and bear the blame.

When people encounter problems, they always think about protecting themselves first.

Even many parents would sacrifice their children to save themselves.

Not to mention that Lao Han and Zhang Yuan are just partners.

However, with Han Jiayin around, Old Han couldn't just let him take the blame.

My daughter is currently interning in Hollywood, and it would be very unkind of me to turn against her at this time.

But unfortunately, I have been under a lot of pressure recently, and "Red Cliff" and "Mei Lanfang" have been tied to China Film Group.

Considering these perspectives, we can only appease the people, and "rehabilitation" is not possible for the time being.

"I already know about this."

"Well, I'll go talk to Kaige and ask him to stop talking nonsense."

"I'll prove it to you."

"Thank you Mr. Han for your support. Zhang Yuan is deeply grateful and cannot express it in words." Zhang Yuan replied with a trembling voice.

"But you have to be careful in the future and be moderate in your hype."

Old Han wanted to criticize him harshly and give him a lecture.

But the other party cried out for injustice first, and I couldn't say anything harsh at the moment.

"Okay, I know what's going on this time, just be patient."

"I will also greet people in the circle, so don't say anything."

"When you have a work in hand, whether you are involved in filming or investing, I will help you appropriately."

Tell him to stop talking nonsense and never confront poet Chen to avoid causing any other trouble.

Others may not know, but doesn’t Old Han know Zhang Yuan?
If you make this kid mad, you don't know what tricks he will use. You can't defend against him.

At the same time, he also gave a slap in the face and a sweet date, promising some benefits.

This is what Zhang Yuan was waiting for!

The whole performance just now was just to make a profit.

He knew very well that as a member of the Laodiquan Group and a leading figure at that, he could not possibly help the right side instead of his relatives.

Whoever is closer is right, this is the norm.

He didn't expect the other party to help him teach poet Chen a lesson.

Chen Huaikai is Lao Han’s senior. He has led him and supported his work.

Without this face, would China Film Group invest in "Mei Lanfang" after the disastrous failure of "The Promise"?
So Zhang Yuan knew that there was no hope for justice, but it would be good enough to get some compensation.

But we have to make Lao Han promise and let him speak.

Because it is useful to me now!
"Come to think of it, I really do have something I want to ask you for help with."

As soon as Zhang Yuan opened his mouth, Old Han's heart skipped a beat.

Good boy, wait for me here!

Why would Kaige provoke him for no reason?

This guy gives me a headache just seeing him, why do you have to fight him?

I am a person who cares a lot about my reputation. I just said that I would take care of him, and this guy took advantage of me, so I couldn't refuse.

"What is it... Let me tell you first. I'm busy lately and don't have time to deal with anything too troublesome."

"No trouble, no trouble." Zhang Yuan acted cautiously.

"Our Cross-Strait Film Company... is the company that China Film Group also has a stake in."

Zhang Yuan specifically mentioned that China Film has shares to remind the other party that we also have some interests tied to us.

"You took good care of us and scheduled the first movie of our company, The Dragon and the Phoenix, at the good time of the Spring Festival."

Old Han was happy to hear this.

I have always taken care of you, so you have to help me with anything.

"But things are different now. I heard that the play "Mei Lanfang" will be rescheduled to the Spring Festival?"

"Ah, that's true."

Although it has been postponed, the main investor is China Film Group, so Lao Han still has to arrange the best "location" for it.

You can never let anyone down, but you can never let yourself down.

We plan to move both the blockbuster films "Red Cliff" and "Mei Lanfang" to the Spring Festival schedule.

"Director Chen is a great director, known all over the world."

“‘Mei Lanfang’ is another work that tells the story of a generation, Mr. Jie Mei.”

"I am also an official member of the Quyi Company, so I have to be respectful."

"I also think that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one."

"Why not take this opportunity to reconcile with Director Chen."

"I'll just give him my seat."

"The Spring Festival period will be reserved for Director Chen and his new film."

"Can you help advance the release date of "Dragon and Phoenix" to around the New Year? Is that okay with you?"

After hearing his request, Old Han thought about it carefully.

Makes sense.

Give up your position so there will be less competition.

Moreover, due to the rescheduling of "Red Cliff" and "Mei Lanfang", the New Year's Eve period suddenly became deserted.

He was originally thinking about whether he should find a solid drama to fill the gap.

Now Zhang Yuan has taken the initiative to give up the best Spring Festival period of the year, isn't this the best of both worlds!
"Yes, you are very sensible. I was right about you."

"I'll take care of this matter. I'll help you ask the theater to allocate more publicity resources."

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for your strong support!"

After putting down the phone, Zhang Yuan relaxed his face and returned to his normal state.

I just called the bigwigs in the Hong Kong circle about this matter.

When Yang Shouchen was called, the other party also asked him whether he was the one who reported it.

Because Eagle King participated in the investment and production of "Mei Lanfang", although the share was not high.

Zhang Yuan assured again and again that it was definitely not him.

I'm not that free to do this.

The explanation for adjusting the schedule is the same as Lao Han’s.

Avoid its sharp edges.

Avoid "Mei Lanfang" and "Red Cliff" to avoid becoming cannon fodder.

Most of the Hong Kong circle participated in the investment of "Red Cliff".

John Woo has betrayed almost everyone he knows.

So they all agreed to avoid the schedule.

Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and when he looked up, he saw Zeng Jia with his mouth open, looking surprised.

"what happened?"

"Boss..." Zeng Jia shook her head: "Your acting skills are a waste of your talent for filming."

The crying and making a fuss just now was so real.

I felt so wronged that I wanted to bang my head against the gate of China Film Studio and die.

This condition is impeccable!

He is much better than Chen Kun, so he doesn't complain about having his role taken away from him.

"You're welcome." Zhang Yuan raised the slightly cold tea, took a sip, frowned, poured it out, and asked his assistant to make a new pot.

"But the Spring Festival period is the best time. If we give it up, we will lose money."

"Not necessarily." Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "First of all, if they are squeezed together, "Dragon and Phoenix" may not be able to win."

"Let alone the quality of the film, publicity and scheduling, we are definitely not as good as those films."

“By the time there are no theaters showing it, we will lose money no matter how good the quality is.”

"And for the New Year's Eve season, we now have our own movie, Night Club."

"One of these two films is a romance, and the other is a low-budget drama. Their audiences do not conflict with each other."

“So it’s not like hitting yourself.”

"The only movie we have left in the Spring Festival schedule is Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf."

"The audience of this film does not conflict with those of several blockbusters, so it will not be affected."

"Oh, so you really just want to avoid the enemy's attention." Zeng Jia nodded to show that she understood.

"More than that." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm avoiding their brunt."

“But the edges are all converged together!”

Zhang Yuan dipped his hand in the cold tea and made three drops of water on the table.

"The Spring Festival schedule has nothing to do with Red Cliff and Mei Lanfang, which suddenly appeared."

"And an 'Aboriginal'."

Zhang Yuan smiled and knocked on the table.

"Feng Xiaogang's new film If You Are the One is also on the Spring Festival schedule!"

"Both 'Dragon Ballads' and 'If You Are the One' are romantic comedies, and there is some competition between them, so it's not easy to do it."

"Now is a good opportunity to withdraw."

"So, the three big dramas for the Spring Festival next year will be Red Cliff, invested by Orange Sky and China Film Group, Mei Lanfang, produced by Chen Shishi, and If You Are the One, produced by Huayi."

"Didn't you say that I plotted to harm the three sages?"

"You three old emperors can fight on yourselves!"

"I'm running away."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and wiped away the three drops of water on the table.

"Another plan to harm the three sages." Zhang Yuan looked into the distance with a mocking expression.

"Poet Chen is only half-baked, but he always likes to use literary tricks to make himself look like he has a lot of substance."

“Compare yourself to a wise man.”

"He doesn't know that the outcome of Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui, and Deng Ai is..."

"Everyone must die!" (End of this chapter)
