Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 333 Knowing Others but Not Knowing Themselves

The sudden explosion of "Partners" dashed all the hopes of those people, and it was impossible to stop it later.

The angry Mr. Wang found two female stars to vent his frustration that night. He is a very romantic man.

It can be said that it is normal for "Partners" to have such box office performance because there is no competition.

Just based on movies like "Disappeared", "The Loser", "Starbucks", and "Big Bad Wolf and Little Lamb"? I've never heard of them.

It’s just that everyone didn’t know how great “Iron Man 3” was. If they had known, they would definitely put good movies in this period.

Damn, I don’t know if Jade Rabbit is lucky or ruthless, but it managed to move the mountain.

They are all avoided!

Many people don’t know about the struggle under the water, and even if they guessed it, what would it matter?

You can only choose to remain silent, shut up, and know it in your heart.

The fact that "Iron Man 3" could not be released surprised the industry, and even Zhang Songwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Actors like Jing Tian and Deng Chao also have the honor!

After all, this movie had good box office and it can be considered their masterpiece, which also gave them a lot of credit.

Jing Tian became famous and was very happy. At an event, she told reporters: "I am honored to be involved in the creation of this movie."

"Your role in this movie is not positive, right? It doesn't match your image," said the reporter.

"That doesn't matter. I'm an actor and I can try any role." Jing Tian spoke sweetly.

"Will you continue to cooperate with Yutu in the future?" the reporter asked.

"I hope so." Jing Tian said.

This movie is her best-selling movie at the box office and has the best reputation, with a Douban score of 7.8.

It's 0.2 points higher than the previous version. Wen Muye's film is more thoughtful than Chen Kexin's, and he understands mainland audiences better.

Not only Jing Tian, ​​but Zhang Songwen is even more popular, and his acting skills have been recognized once again.

"Zhang Songwen's acting skills are off the charts!"

"Zhang Songwen's performance is deeply rooted in people's hearts. It makes people feel that there is a kind of charm and they can empathize with the performance."

"A good movie, worth watching. I always like Zhang Songwen's performance."

"."

Such praise is everywhere on social media. It’s not that he is a bad actor now, he just needs awards to prove it.

Only winning an award can prove that he acted well.

There is no award. No matter how much others say, a simple sentence like, "zero gold medals" can break people's defense.

Just like what others say about Cheng Kun, they all say that he has good acting skills, but when you say that he has three gold medals and zero, there is nothing to say. You say he has good acting skills, then why haven't you won any awards after decades of work?

Ten years is an accident, twenty years still an accident?
So no matter how much you brag, it is not as real as winning an award. Liu Tianxian has been working hard to prove herself.

The award is proof of that!
On May 5, the box office of "Partners" was halved to 2 million, breaking the 5528 million mark.

There is no point in paying attention to the box office of this movie in the future. It is already out of control and is destined to be a high box office. It just depends on how high it will be!

During the May Day holiday, Liu Tianxian did not return home and was still filming for the drama "A Bouquet of Love".

Those who work on a film don't have any holidays. Once they start filming, they have to finish it, and only after they finish filming can they take a holiday, which lasts for several months.

Originally, Fang Hong wanted to visit the set, but he was unable to do so because of a phone call. The call was from Wanda’s general secretary, Lao Wang, who asked him to meet.

It would be difficult for Fang Hong to refuse. After all, the other party's status was so great that he could not be compared with Zeng Maojun.

The meeting place was set at an antique teahouse.

The two of them sat cross-legged opposite each other, and next to them was a young lady in cheongsam who was making tea for them.

The aroma of tea wafts through the air, and the environment has a very classical feel.

Mr. Wang has the aura of a big boss, giving people a feeling of confidence and calmness. He asked, "Does Xiao Fang usually drink tea?"

"My girlfriend bought some for me, but I'm lazy and there's no one to cook for me, so I won't bother. Just having some water to drink is enough." Fang Hong said calmly.

He was already wondering why Mr. Wang wanted to see him.

"Then you are a simple person who fears trouble. Even if your girlfriend buys you something, you won't use it and you won't say anything. You can keep things deep in your heart." Mr. Wang made an analysis.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known I had so many advantages." Fang Hong boasted jokingly.

"Hahaha, people know others but not themselves. They know others but not themselves." Mr. Wang laughed. Although he was joking, he was actually looking at people to see what kind of person they were.

Fang Hong remained silent, knowing that the old man was analyzing him. If he talked too much, it would be bad if he was analyzed completely, which would be equivalent to having no secrets left.

After all, if you tell too many lies, you will inevitably feel guilty.

This guy is not that idiot like Zeng Maojun who is easy to fool. The reason why he came to meet him today must be that he has fully understood the situation and has something to ask him.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. After the tea girl finished making the tea, she gestured to the two of them, then bent down and walked out, closing the door.

"Try the excellent pre-rain Longjing tea here, it's very good." Mr. Wang gestured with his hand.

Fang Hong picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"How is it?" asked Mr. Wang.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. I'm just an ordinary person and can't taste anything. I just think it tastes good." Fang Hong said.

Mr. Wang smiled and said straight to the point: "The flower-growing house is yours, right?"

"Do you think it's possible for me to remotely control a Hollywood company with an annual turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars without having been to the United States for several years? Who would be so devoted to it?" Fang Hong already had an idea in mind.

This Mr. Wang is really sinister. He was fine just now, but then he went straight to the point.

Mr. Wang nodded and looked at him with a pair of wise eyes: "Then it's hard for you to explain why the flower growers can cooperate with Yutu to build a digital film and television base. It's not like the flower growers come here to make movies. Our production level is not comparable to Hollywood."

The digital film and television base is very easy to check. Just check the companies involved in the project. Zhonghuajia participated as a foreign investor.

"I won't hide it from you. Even if the money is given to me, I can't take it out. The condition for my withdrawal was that I didn't want any money. The flower growers would pay to help Yutu build a film and television base." Fang Hong said without changing his expression.

If you want to bring in money from outside, you have to pay a lot of price.

"Haha, your excuse is really perfect." Mr. Wang laughed and said, "If I didn't know the situation, would I come to you?"

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Fang Hong refused to admit it, fearing that the other party would blast him.

"Let's be frank. Let's cooperate. I'll provide the money and you'll provide the project. I have the world's largest cinema chain and you have the production capabilities. Let's work together in Hollywood and set up a big film and television company. I can't say we can bring Flower Growers to the first-tier, but second-tier is fine. Just name your name and ask for money." Mr. Wang was very straightforward and asked for money right away.

"Your conditions are very tempting, but you really think too highly of me. I can't make the decision on this. It has nothing to do with me. You can go find the relevant person in charge." Fang Hong still refused to admit it.

The first-tier and second-tier cities have no appeal to him at all, and he is not interested in the entire industrial chain of overseas production and distribution.

He just wants to establish himself in China and develop domestic industries. He doesn't want to get involved in international affairs with Lao Wang, which is doomed to failure and end up in a mess.

"Then you should know the person in charge of the flower-growing company. Please be the middleman and introduce them to each other." Mr. Wang didn't care whether what he said was true or false.

If others don't admit it, there is nothing he can do unless he forces them to do so, but this goes against the rules of business.

He has become so big if not by suppressing others. When you lose power, everyone will come to step on you.

Wanda Cinemas now has the largest market share in China and is already expanding internationally, purchasing terminal cinema chains all over the world.

It has just acquired AMC Theaters, the second largest cinema chain in North America. The company also has 358 cinemas in Europe. It can be said that Wanda is the largest cinema chain company in the world.

But having terminals alone is not enough. We also need to have control over the upstream film production, that is, to open up the entire industry chain from production to distribution to screening.

Because of this, there was a rumor that Wanda was going to acquire Paramount, and Alibaba was also a competitor.

Therefore, it is understandable that he covets the Flower Planting Family. After all, the Flower Planting Family has a relationship with the principal, so it is much easier to get it.

It is not difficult to understand Lao Wang’s intention. He wants to use his own strength to change the global film and television landscape and let Chinese film and television have a place in the world.

Ideals are great, but reality is cruel!

"You can make the appointment yourself. I remember Mr. Zeng called." Fang Hong didn't want to get involved. He just wanted the conflict to not break out.

Yu Xian had called Zeng Maojun before, so there should be a phone call.

"We've tried to make an appointment several times, but failed. It's difficult to make an appointment, so we ask you to be a middleman. It won't waste much of your time." Mr. Wang said again.

This made it difficult for Fang Hong to refuse, as he still had to give face to Mr. Wang.

"Okay, I'll try to make an appointment, but I don't know if he has time or whether he will give me face. I can only try my best. You wait for my news." Fang Hong said.

"I am very patient. Let me give you a piece of advice. Be honest in everything you do and don't break your promise." There was a hint of threat in Mr. Wang's tone.

He knew that this person didn't follow the rules and didn't have much bottom line in doing things.

This makes it difficult for Fang Hong to be perfunctory. He is dishonest and doesn't follow the rules, so others can also be dishonest and don't follow the rules.

Dealing with such a big guy is completely different from dealing with small Karamis like Huayi and Bona. Those two guys can do whatever they want.

There are no rules or strategies!
