Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 136 Uniqlo: Zhen Sang, I’ll pay more!

The premiere press conference of "Initial D" held at the Capital Hotel was quite "shabby"!
Of course, what is "shabby" is not the ceremony, but the guests.

Zhou Jielun's "cross-border" was not recognized by the film and television industry. Except for the main creative staff, Zhen Jiecheng hardly saw any colleagues attending.

Compared with the size of the invited media, the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene seemed particularly abrupt.

But no one was paying attention to this anymore. At the red carpet ceremony, nearly 10,000 fans gathered together and had been waiting at the entrance of Beijing Hotel several hours ago, shouting "Zhou Jie Lun" at the top of their lungs.

The commotion was so great that the organizers had to dispatch nearly a thousand security personnel to maintain order. Once the banner signed by 100,000 fans was displayed by the fan representatives, it immediately blinded everyone's eyes.

This is not all, the fan representative proudly stated that they will continue to recruit 100 million fans to support Jie Lun's debut on the screen.

There is no doubt that this is the first time in Chinese film history!
In June 05, Zhou Jielun brought a "small" shock to the film and television industry.

It is said that Xiao Si's entry into the industry was the source of the chaos that began in domestic films.

Luerge's "Magic City Explosion" was a landmark event that failed to reap the fan economy and triggered reflection and resistance.

But Zhen Jiecheng strongly suspected at this moment that damn Jie Lun was the "dirty thing"!
But Jielun dishes are dishes, and the care and dedication put into them are real.

Create with heart and sing with devotion.

Putting aside the pronunciation issue, let me just ask you whether the song is good or not!
In addition, the film's narrative is smooth and the acting is basically on point except for Jie Lun.

Even Jie Lun was able to take advantage of the situation and get the reputation of "playing himself".

From a commercial perspective, "Initial D" has definitely met the passing standards and even slightly exceeded them.

"Director Zhen, Ms. Cheng, welcome, welcome!"

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui hurried over to greet them.

Facing two predecessors, he is an excellent director who co-directed and wrote the last pinnacle of Hong Kong film and television - "Infernal Affairs".

As a "friendly exchange person" who has left a good name in Hong Kong, how could Zhen Jiecheng not respond with enthusiasm?
"You two seniors are really too polite. You are treating me as an outsider!"

Zhen Jiecheng pointed at Jielun and Guanxi as he spoke.

"You two can ask Guan Xi. I am his good friend."

"And Jie Lun, he calls me Brother Jie!"

"So I don't treat myself as an outsider, and you two must not treat me as an outsider either."

"Hahaha, so we have this kind of relationship? That's indeed my problem!" Liu Wei pretended to be regretful and led Zhen Jiecheng and Cheng Hao into the main venue.

Glancing at the nameplate on the table, two familiar terms jumped into my eyes:
Xinlang.com, Taobao.com!
"Hello everyone! I am very happy to represent Taobao.com to attend the press conference for the global premiere of "Initial D" today. Our slogan is: There is no treasure that cannot be found, and no treasure that cannot be sold. As a platform for young people to enjoy JY, today's cooperation with "Initial D" is to hope that every young person can achieve their dreams through their own efforts."

Balabala, talk endlessly!
As expected of the general manager of the Beijing branch under President Ma, his eloquence is quite amazing!
There must be hard work and dreams in publicity.

Wow, well said!

As long as young people work hard together, Mr. Ma can realize his dream!

Zhen Jiecheng smacked his lips, and as he finished his speech, he clapped a few times as applause broke out from the audience.

But he saw that the general manager's eyes were staring at him.

Soon, a staff member came to deliver the message.

"Director Zhen, are you free later? Mr. You from Taobao.com would like to treat you to a meal."

I have to say that the premiere press conference for "Initial D" was quite fancy.

Perhaps in order to make up for the flattery from peers, they even came up with a "Drift Girl" competition that was similar to a talent show.

Competitions were held in many places including Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, etc., until ten people were selected, and the top three were announced at today's premiere press conference.

"Damn it, it has to be played in the capital of Hong Kong and Taiwan, it's like choosing a concubine!"

Strictly speaking, it is really a selection of concubines.

The entertainment industry is so chaotic, how can anyone who wants to get in avoid being trapped?

It’s just a matter of sooner or later, and the number of people involved.

"What's the matter? Are you itching to do it?" Cheng Hao leaned over and whispered, "How about we do one too?"

"Take your director Zhen's acting contract as a prize. Isn't this more tempting than Huan Ya's film contract?"

"Pick a few more, take turns and try new things every day, or come together and enjoy yourself."

"Director Zhen, what do you think?"

"Not so good!" Zhen Jiecheng said seriously, "I just want to focus on my career now. I have no interest in women outside!"

The sister who has explored the cave is not considered an outsider!

As for Sister Sun Li, she is a senior from my alma mater, can she be considered an outsider?

Even if there are a few more sisters in the future, they will still be people in the circle.

Zhen Jiecheng knows a little bit about film, television, music, painting, literature, and sports, and he can always find a circle to match them.

Therefore, Zhen Jiecheng was justified and faced Cheng Hao's scrutiny with sincerity in his eyes, without any guilt at all.

Seeing this, Cheng Hao also retracted his strange expression.

He hummed softly and continued to shift his attention to the press conference.

The escape treasure is pulled outside the salary wave, and after the salary wave is pulled, Huan Asia is pulled.

Under the control of the host, the main creators of "Initial D" continued to talk until the premiere officially began!
"Actually, I have something very important to tell you."

Natsuki was wearing a purple shirt and a white pillbox hat.

The sunlight brushed the ends of her hair and playfully fell on the corners of her mouth.

Hearing this, Takumi, who had swallowed the whole egg in one gulp, chewed it up and swallowed it. In response to Natsuki's pouting, he moved his ear slightly towards the corner of her mouth.

"I bought a very sexy swimsuit~"

"ah!"

Cheng Hao exclaimed softly and glared at Zhen Jiecheng.

It was not because Zhen Jiecheng had "premeditated" it, but because Zhen Jiecheng just came over and said something to match the lines in the movie.

"I bought a very sexy swimsuit. I spent a long time choosing and finally found one with very little fabric. I'll show it to you and let you play with it."

Zhen Jiecheng's whispers did not end there, but continued.

"Natsuki kisses Takumi, you deserve the taste of your uncle."

"86 goes up the hill, Mercedes goes up the tree."

"86 uses the drainage ditch of Akina Mountain to turn the corner."

"The 86 will explode."

The more Zhen Jiecheng talked, the more outrageous it became, so much so that Cheng Hao, who had already completely let go of Zhen Jiecheng, couldn't help but blush.

But no matter how shy you are, you must not lose your professionalism as an actor!

Cheng Hao watched the movie attentively, memorized the plot firmly, summarized it in his mind, and thought deeply about it.

Until a complete scene is reconstructed!

Then he relaxed his posture and glanced at Zhen Jiecheng.
"Pooh!"

"Just wait a minute!"

"Hehehe, just wait!" Zhen Jiecheng crossed his legs.

After the premiere, before Zhen Jiecheng had the chance to take Cheng Hao to ride in a Mercedes-Benz, You Jia from Taobao.com came to his door.

I had clearly declined with an excuse, but I couldn't refuse when he just wanted to "chat for a while".

"Director Zhen, I heard that Crazy Stone is collaborating with Uniqlo in Japan and has also approached Nikon."

“I wonder if Taobao has the honor to form a partnership with your company?”

Damn! Why don't you come earlier?
For Mr. Ma's sake, let's add a good scene to "Crazy Stone" and let Huang Bo promote Taobao.

But isn’t this missed?

How about waiting for Ning Hao to make "Crazy Racing" and letting Wang Shuangbao and Badu be the spokespersons for Taobao?
Zhen Jiecheng thought about it and felt more and more that there was a way to do it.

So I put on a smiling face,

"No, no, no, you're too polite!"

"It is an honor for our Jiecheng Film and Television Company to be able to cooperate with Taobao!"

"Although our company is small, it has everything we need. In addition to signing directors, screenwriters and other creative personnel, we have also developed artist business. We are involved in movies, TV series, and even music."

"Next, our company also plans to launch a group model similar to the 'F4' group in Taiwan as the signature of the company's artist department."

Not only are there the F4 with good looks, but there are also the three kings of environmental protection.

Jia Yuliang was signed by Hua Jie, although she ostensibly belonged to Huayi. However, as the rift between Hua Jie and Huayi grew wider and wider, coupled with the relationship between Hua Jie and Jiecheng Film and Television, it was easy for Zhen Jiecheng to use her.

Plus Wang Baoqiang and Pan Yueming.

Isn't that the case with the Three Heavenly Kings?

Oh, by the way, there are also the three foot-washing musketeers consisting of Ning Hao, Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng.

The migrant worker duo of Huang Bo and Bao Qie, the postgraduate entrance examination duo of Wang Shuangbao and Badu, and the police and gangster duo of Duan Yihong and Wang Shuangbao.

There is even a love rival duo of Xu Zheng and Duan Yihong!

I don't know, I was taken aback.

Everyone in the company is talented, not only capable of taking charge of their own affairs, but also highly adaptable.

After permutations and combinations, there are only modes you can't think of, and no lineup they can't match!

hiss!
Zhen Jiecheng took a breath of cold air.

What the hell kind of monsters and demons have I attracted?
"That's great!" You Jia smiled happily, "We at Taobao value our cooperation with your company very much!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "Me too!"

"Then Director Zhen, when do you think it would be appropriate for us to discuss the relevant cooperation matters?"

"Me?" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head, then turned to look at Cheng Hao and pursed his lips, "You go talk to her, she is the housekeeper of our company!"

Hearing this, Cheng Hao raised the corner of his mouth, a smile rippling across his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes, looking particularly happy.

"Takumi, I have something very important to tell you."

"I bought a very sexy swimsuit!"

In my own yard, in the back seat of a Mercedes Benz.

Cheng Hao pouted her lips, her eyes sparkling.

With the blessing of superb acting skills, a face more attractive than Natsuki, a more playful expression, and lines with richer emotions!
No wonder all the seniors go to the Central Academy of Drama, the actors there are better than those of the Beijing Film Academy!
"I spent a long time choosing until I found one with less fabric. Do you want to see it?"

"I do!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded quickly.

Hearing this, Cheng Hao bit his lip and unbuttoned his collar bit by bit.

The swimsuit that had already been changed was displayed bit by bit.

There is not a single line of dialogue throughout the entire performance, but the atmosphere is made exceptionally hot just by the changes in micro-expressions and body language.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiecheng stepped forward and tried to ride on top.

But Cheng Hao pushed her away with a smile.

"Ah! Be gentle, uncle is much gentler than you!"

Zhen Jiecheng: (°Д°)
"Takumi, are you comfortable? Uncle likes Natsuki to do this, too. Uncle always asks Natsuki to look up at him while doing this, and Natsuki always feels embarrassed."

Zhen Jiecheng: (Д)ノ

"Hehe! Takumi, come on, you're only in your twenties, you can't behave worse than your uncle!"

"Damn it! Shut up!" Zhen Jiecheng couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing.

"Wow, you're mean to me! Uncle is never mean to Xia Shu!"

"I ride on a horse"

Zhen Jiecheng gritted his teeth.

"屮!"

"That's right! It should be this simple!" Cheng Hao looked confused and panted, "Takumi, damn it!"

Zhen Jiecheng was still sleeping soundly at home, while Cheng Hao, looking radiant, had already walked briskly to work.

And "Initial D" is rampaging in the box office market.

The national box office exceeded 3500 million on the first day, which attracted a lot of exclamations. Then, it took million in four days.

It surpassed the 3300 million in the first weekend of "A World Without Thieves" and the 3 million in the first weekend of "Star Wars: Episode 2800".

Among them, Guangdong Province became the highest-grossing region in the country with 550 million. Beijing was the city with the highest box office, with the New Film Union alone earning 300 million, the same as Shanghai.

Against the backdrop of setting multiple records in succession, for a time, Jielun and "Initial D" were the most popular!
Major media outlets have reported that "Initial D" is aiming to join the billion-dollar club.

Huan Ya also announced that it had contacted all the leading actors and Liu Weiqiang and decided to shoot a sequel.

Too scary!

Not only was the producer scared, Jie Lun was also scared, and the entire film and television industry seemed to have been dropped a bombshell.

Why do movies stand so high among the many industrial chains in the entertainment industry?

One of the reasons is payment!
You pay once for each viewing during the release period, it’s a one-time deal!

Although the record industry also requires payment, you can listen to it as much as you want after you buy it, and you can watch TV dramas as much as you want.

In today's market environment, the decline of traditional records is inevitable, while the film industry is thriving.

Therefore, the film industry is naturally "superior" and was even more dismissive of Zhou Jielun's appeal in promoting "Initial D". Only a few people even took a wait-and-see attitude.

No one expected that Zhou Jie Lun's appeal was so terrifying that he pulled "Initial D" to a height that it did not belong to, and turned the box office market upside down in just a few days.

"Jiecheng, should I hang up or not?" Jielun's tone was arrogant.

"Haha, Xia Shu was hung by his uncle!"

"Fuck, I'm not talking about the movie, I'm talking about me! Am I awesome?"

"Uncle hangs Xia Shu, you don't hang him, so uncle hangs him more than you!"

"Damn it, can you not mention Xia Shu? Can you not mention uncle?" Jie Lun's defense was broken.

"No, that won't work. I've been feeling depressed these past few days because of my uncle, so you have to feel depressed with me."

"Are you upset? What does this have to do with you?" asked Jie Lun.

"What do you care? I'm just upset, so what?"

"Wait, you're not feeling depressed because Crazy Stone is about to be released and you don't have the confidence to face Initial D, right?"

"I don't have the confidence? Are you kidding me?" Zhen Jiecheng took away his phone and turned on the speaker. "Haozi, tell Jielun, are you confident?"

"Yes." Ning Hao said weakly.

"Shit! What's wrong with you? Were you drained last night?"

"No."

"What's going on?"

"Nonsense, you can ask Director Han to call and scold him, or call him to the China Film Office and scold him in person. Swear in Mandarin or Sichuan dialect. Try to do it over and over again!"

Ning Hao felt extremely aggrieved.

The truth is clearly stated: it was Jiecheng's idea and it was Jiecheng who did it, it has nothing to do with me.

Why did Mr. Han become more harsh the more he listened to the scolding?

Ning Hao tossed and turned when he got home last night, unable to sleep. He thought about it all night but still couldn't figure it out. Lack of sleep made him feel extremely tired.

"Isn't it just a few scoldings? Have I been scolded less?"

Zhen Jiecheng looked away guiltily, but he was still muttering,

"You are a useless piece of shit. You are such a jerk for such a trivial matter? I am too lazy to say anything to you!"

Put the phone back to your ear.

"Jie Lun! I don't know how long your fan appeal can support Initial D, but I dare to say it now."

"This summer vacation belongs to Crazy Stone!"

Premiere, do it!
No matter how Han Shanping curses, you still have to attend!

Sister Jinglei, who made a guest appearance, came with her star actress. Star actress Jiang Wen finally divorced the French woman and can now attend public events with Zhou Yun in broad daylight!
Sister Bingbing still stole the red carpet. Li Xiaolu, with her dimples, quietly winked at Zhen Jiecheng: "Would you like to drink together tonight?" I can drink a lot. I get drunk after just one sniff. I am the type that can be manipulated by others.

In addition, there is Huang Xiaoming, who had been asking for an invitation letter long ago, the generous and loyal Xun Ge'er, and Deng Chao, who is rebellious and is just waiting to jump ship as soon as the contract ends.

Oh, right!
Sun Li is here, and Sister Hao Lei is here too.

The two of them happened to bump into each other and made eye contact!

Deng Chao, who was sweating profusely, kept looking at Zhen Jiecheng for help, so Zhen Jiecheng whispered a few words to Cheng Hao and then, under Cheng Hao's personal instructions, walked forward confidently.

At this moment, Cheng Hao, who was curious about the show, had been pulled away by Xing Aina to busy himself with the reception.

And Zhen Jiecheng, in front of Deng Chao,

"Sister Hao, welcome, welcome!"

"Long time no see, I missed you so much!"

"Hey! Are you just thinking with your mouth? I never see you making a phone call normally!"

"Hey, I'm just afraid that my good name will bring trouble to you!" Zhen Jiecheng said with a smile, "If you don't mind, how about we hug?"

"If you don't mind, why should I mind? I can use your popularity in the newspaper tomorrow. It's just a gossip, so I'll treat it as publicity."

As she spoke, Hao Lei opened her hands.

Stand tall,

Trembling!

What are you waiting for?
Zhen Jiecheng hugged him directly.

"Sister, welcome again to the premiere of Crazy Stone."

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to your seat!"

From a perspective that Hao Lei and Sun Li could not see, Zhen Jiecheng winked at Deng Chao.

And clearly distinguish Deng Chao's silent response:

Thank you!
Really elastic and really big!
She is worthy of being Qin Huairu, worthy of being the warm heart that makes Sha Zhu linger for his whole life!

Sister Hao Lei was truly extraordinary during her peak period.

Zhen Jiecheng was sighing when Sister Lei's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Pooh!"

"What's the matter? Cheng Hao didn't serve you these two days?"

"How dare you have any thoughts about me?"

"Sister, where do I get that?" Zhen Jiecheng said innocently.

"Then why did you hug me so hard just now?"

Hao Lei is Hao Lei. She dares to take off her clothes boldly and speak boldly.

The entertainment industry is the entertainment industry, and the atmosphere is so open.

"Hey, doesn't this make me look enthusiastic?"

"Wow, you're really enthusiastic!" Hao Lei spat, looked around vigilantly, and continued in a low voice, "You're crowding me!"

"Look at what you said, can you blame me?" Zhen Jiecheng spread his hands, "If I change to Chun Ge's style, I can't squeeze in even if I want to."

"Who is Chun Ge?" Hao Lei was stunned for a moment, then reacted the next second.

"Pfft~"

Smiling like a flower.

"Okay, I don't need you as my waiter here, go and get busy!"

"Okay, sister. If you need anything, just call me anytime. I'm going to be busy now."

After bidding farewell to Hao Lei, Zhen Jiecheng quickly got down to the reception matters.

Because it was hosted by Zhen Jiecheng, many colleagues attended the meeting, including many heavyweight guests, which was in sharp contrast to the premiere of "Initial D" a few days ago.

As a newcomer, Ning Hao took advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the treatment of a big director, which attracted envious and even jealous gazes from many people.

But their "jealousy" did not last long.

The national box office on the first day was nearly four million. Although it was only slightly more than half of "Initial D", it was still a very dazzling result in the market, especially for a newcomer.

Everyone thought that Ning Hao's starting point was high enough, but as the laughter from the "Crazy Stone" theater gradually spread.

The box office results continued to rise, going against the current trend.

Even though the audience cursed:
The content of the damn film does not match the promotional poster at all!

The unforgettable story between the damn Zuoshandiao and three actresses!

Go to hell with your uncle's second generation who conquered someone else's wife, the eldest sister-in-law had an affair with the second uncle, and the eldest brother tortured the eldest sister-in-law in front of the second uncle.

Although this content is indeed in the movie, it is not the scene I want to see!

The audience laughed and cursed, and then fooled their friends and colleagues:
Ah yes, yes! The movie is what you want to see.

Go watch it quickly, if you’re late it might be taken down!
Word of the film spread like wildfire, and it managed to gross 2600 million in its first weekend, stunning countless peers.

Compared with Initial D, whose fan appeal has entered a period of fatigue,
Just as Zhen Jiecheng said to Jielun on the phone: This summer vacation belongs to Crazy Stone! It belongs to Ning Hao!

The box office success of "Crazy Stone" not only sparked discussion at home, but also touched people's hearts overseas.

Although Uniqlo President Tadashi Yanai could not go to China in person, he sent staff to investigate on the spot.

Indeed, "Crazy Stone" fully complied with the contract and carried out the promotion of Uniqlo.

But the staff member always felt that something was wrong.

So I walked out of the theater with a conflicted mentality, listening to the audience's discussions ringing in my ears.

"I'll beat your lungs out!"

"Sign, Yuiku!"

"If you want to be romantic, waste it first."

"Brother Dao, that's the sister-in-law he's dating. Your mother, she's still wearing Yuiku!"

"Xiao Jun'er, please help me and take off his clothes. What kind of clothes are they? He's wearing the same brand as me!"

The audience learned the lines from the movie very well, and laughter filled the entire hall.

Seeing this, the Uniqlo staff stopped hesitating and their mood immediately brightened.

"Chairman, Crazy Stone is very popular and is very popular among fans."

"Especially the lines that Director Zhen wrote for Uniqlo, which made the audience unforgettable and imitated them one after another."

"Chairman, your decision is so wise! By cooperating with Crazy Stone, the UNIQLO brand will surely be deeply imprinted in the hearts of fans along with the movie."

"Then, with the help of word of mouth from fans, it spread throughout China."

"By then, Uniqlo will be well-known and flourish in the Chinese market!"

It might be a coincidence that one staff member said this, but all the staff sent out by Tadashi Yanai said so, so that is the truth.

Thinking of this, Yanai Tadashi was very excited.

I just hope that the box office of "Crazy Stone" will be higher and more successful.

Even according to the provisions of the gambling contract: you have to pay more money.

so what?

The more you spend, the more you earn!
“Beep, beep, beep!”

I couldn't wait to pick up the phone.
"Hello, is this Zhen Sang? Please wait a moment, my translator will be here soon."

"Hello? Director Zhen, the chairman sends his greetings."

"Director Zhen, the chairman is very grateful for your talent and contribution to UNIQLO!"

"The chairman is also very satisfied with the publicity effect of Crazy Stone, and would like to congratulate Crazy Stone in advance for achieving higher box office results."

"The chairman said: Uniqlo will pay in stages according to the increase in the movie box office, rather than waiting until Crazy Stone is off the screen and then making a unified payment."

"Director Zhen, the chairman warmly hopes that you will come to Neon as a guest one day. UNIQLO will welcome and entertain the most distinguished guests with the highest etiquette and the most sincere emotions!"

"Also, Director Zhen! UNIQLO is very much looking forward to our next collaboration with your company."

"The chairman said: Continuing with the previous price is disrespectful to your talent. Uniqlo will take the initiative to negotiate a higher price."
