The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 197 Weibo Hot List Incident, Someone is Anxious
[Directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Jet Li, Maggie Cheung and others, and with an investment of over 3000 million US dollars, "Hero" held a grand premiere ceremony at 1:30 pm today.

[This premiere followed the rules of the Shenzhen preview, and no electronic devices were allowed to enter the venue. However, our reporter found that Zhang Chen brought his mobile phone into the venue, but was not driven away by the new screen, which made many guests dissatisfied.]

【Zhang Chen responded to questions about Zhang Yimou's new film, saying that if the conditions were right, he would agree to star in it.】

[Many viewers said that although the visuals of "Hero" are gorgeous, the plot is too empty and simple. ]

On the day after the premiere of "Hero", the distributor launched an extensive publicity campaign.

And amidst the praises of the water, there are also some discordant sounds.

The most interesting thing here is that the new image ignored the fact that Zhang Chen brought his mobile phone into the venue, which made other people at the scene feel extremely dissatisfied.

That’s right, the news report did not say that Zhang Chen ignored the on-site rules and brought his mobile phone into the venue, but that the new footage ignored Zhang Chen’s behavior.

Once the order of the two things was reversed, the blame for the incident fell entirely on Zhang Weiping of New Picture.

Now on Chen Guang’s Weibo, for some reason, this topic has topped the Weibo discussion list.

"I was just an ordinary audience member who attended the premiere this afternoon. I had to go through two security checks, and having my phone taken away was already annoying enough, but I just endured it because I thought everyone was in the same situation. Afterwards, I realized that I couldn't bring my phone into the venue because my status was not high enough."

"We were all audience members at the premiere, but we were treated differently. This gave me a new understanding of the new screen: bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

"I couldn't understand it at first. How could you, a new screen, touch the private phone numbers of big bosses and leaders so easily? Now I understand that it was just a show for ordinary people like us."

"Thanks to Zhang Chen for exposing the hypocrisy of New Picture!"

As the largest social platform, Weibo has more than 2000 million users. The overwhelming criticism of New Picture caught Zhang Weiping off guard.

"Hello, Mr. Li, can you please ask Weibo to remove that trending search?"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm so sorry, Chenguang Weibo is not under my control. You have to talk to Mr. Du."

In theory, the president of the parent company has no control over the general manager of the subsidiary company, but in reality, Zhang Weiping could tell that this was Li Xiaoping's excuse.

But he had no choice. He came to ask for help, not to order Li Xiaoping around.

Now he can only contact Du Zhining through connections.

"Boss Du, can you help us with publicity? After all, if the movie box office is affected, Chenguang Cinema will also suffer losses, right?"

Du Zhining calmly held the phone and answered slowly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. The rules that the boss set for Weibo in the beginning were that as long as it was not illegal, netizens were allowed to express their opinions freely."

"20 million!"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Weiping gritted his teeth and said a number.

"Mr. Zhang, this is not a question of money."

"50 million!"

"Mr. Zhang, we understand your difficulties, but this is indeed beyond the scope of my duties."

"One million! This is the highest offer I can give, Mr. Du!"

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhang. I will ask the technicians to check what is going on."

Du Zhining hung up the phone after he finished speaking. He would not be so stupid as to promise to withdraw the entry after the other party paid the money. That would be handing the handle to the other party.

He believed that his words should make Zhang Weiping understand what he meant.

If you don’t understand?
We can only blame Zhang Weiping for not understanding the ways of the world.

Fortunately, Zhang Weiping was not stupid. Only half an hour later, Du Zhining received a transfer message with the note "advertising fee".

After receiving the transfer, Du Zhining asked the technical staff to handle the matter and symbolically posted a few advertisements about "Hero" on Weibo.

The play has to be made in full, and since it is advertising fees, a few advertisements have to be added. As for whether it will be effective or not, it is not something Du Zhining and Zhang Weiping will consider.

After doing all this, Du Zhining picked up his mobile phone and made a call.

"Assistant Xue, the matter is done. Zhang Weiping gave me 100 million to withdraw the entry.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Okay, I know. "

After Du Zhining finished his report, he put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was finally settled. Although this was arranged by Xue Yining, he had fulfilled his boss's request.

Sometimes, the words given by the boss' assistant are basically the same as the boss' words.

This sometimes usually refers to situations where it is inconvenient for the boss to take action personally.

Don’t think that this amount of money is insignificant compared to the tens of millions of advertising fees that Weibo spends every month, it is because the meaning of this money is different.

After Xue Yining hung up the phone in the yard, she returned to Zhang Chen.

"Du Zhining's phone number?"

Zhang Chen was flipping through the script and reciting his lines. When he heard Xue Yining come in, he didn't even raise his head, but just asked lightly.

"Correct."

"Let's consider that one million as a bonus for both of you." Xue Yining was shocked when she heard Zhang Chen accurately report the number. You know, she came in just to report this matter.

She guessed it was Du Zhining, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Du Zhining was not that stupid.

Because the whole incident started when she entered the premiere of "Hero" and noticed Zhang Chen's dissatisfaction with the idea of collecting cell phones.

After that, she pretended to have received a phone call and deliberately handed the phone to Zhang Chen in front of everyone.

The subsequent Weibo incident was also a follow-up arranged by her, because it would be too embarrassing for Zhang Chen to be involved in this matter personally.

And because Zhang Chen's attitude from beginning to end was not to ask, not to stop, and not to care, she also extracted the key message from it, which is not to stop.

In the end, New Picture had to pay to settle the matter. Just as Zhang Weiping said, "Hero" did not perform well at the box office for some reason, and both the producer and the theater chain suffered losses.

For Morning Light, which owns a cinema, this matter is just to make the boss happy, not a reason to harm the company's interests.

What Xue Yining didn't expect was that the boss was not involved in the whole matter, but was extremely well-informed.

"Thank you, boss. Looks like I can get myself a new bag now."

Xue Yining didn't think about it too much, but just smiled and accepted the bonus Zhang Chen gave her without hesitation.

It is best to accept the reward from the boss, otherwise it will make the boss suspicious, especially for her in such a sensitive position.

Xue Yining was very satisfied with this job and never thought of betraying Zhang Chen, so she felt at ease taking the money.

"Go back and rest. I'm going to memorize my lines."

Zhang Chen waved his hand and continued to flip through the script in his hand.

After Xue Yining closed the study door again, Zhang Chen replied to an email on the computer: [Got it]

After replying to the email, he sat in his seat and began to daydream.

He didn't take what Xue Yining did to heart.

What really upset him was something else.

[Sing, change of plans, I think my brother may have seen the text messages between us! ]

After Liu Yifei returned home and washed up, she couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone. After a series of clicks, she sent a message to Shu Chang.

[Is this true? Then I am doomed! ]

Although we can't see his face, we can tell from this text that Shu Chang is very panicked!
[Although I have no evidence, he usually tells me that he did something whenever he did it, but today after he took my phone, he said that he didn't peek! ]

From childhood to adulthood, Liu Yifei knew Zhang Chen very well.

But when Zhang Chen tricked her, or lied to her, Liu Yifei could proudly say that she, Liu Yifei, grew up during the years when Zhang Chen constantly tricked her.

As the saying goes, long illness makes a good doctor. Regarding Zhang Chen's abnormal behavior, she had sufficient reason to suspect that Zhang Chen was lying.

[What should I do? Wouldn't the five-year plan you made for yourself be leaked? Also, can you ask your brother not to hold me responsible? I am innocent.]

In Shu Chang's text message, he was seriously analyzing the situation in the first half, but seemed a bit timid in the second half.

But there was nothing she could do. As a small actress, she was involved in a plan targeting the big star Zhang Chen, and was discovered by the real owner. How could she not be terrified?

[Don't worry, I'll protect you, don't be afraid! Now we should think about what to do. ]

Liu Yifei's reply was also full of heroic spirit, and she took the responsibility to protect her own military advisor.

In her opinion, Shu Chang was not involved in the plan to harm Zhang Chen, so how could he possibly arouse Zhang Chen's disgust?

Liu Yifei was not very sure about this, because she remembered that Zhang Chen was a very opinionated person and hated others interfering in his affairs.

However, the matter she discussed with Changchang should...or perhaps won't offend Zhang Chen.

When the time really came, Liu Yifei began to worry about gains and losses.

[I say, you are not yet an adult, why do you think so much? ]

[Oh, you don't know how anxious I was when I watched him and those actresses acting opposite each other every day! The way those actresses looked at my brother was exactly the same as the way those women in real life looked at him, how could I not be anxious! ]

Liu Yifei pouted and started to speak rapidly, pouring out her innermost thoughts to her military advisor in a long paragraph.

She used to get along well with Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing, and once thought that these two people would definitely stand on her side.

But after filming "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was completed, she watched too many scenes between them and Zhang Chen, as well as the two of them having the same look in their eyes after the scene was over, and her mind changed.

The person she once thought of as a helper has now turned into a competitor hiding in the dark. Moreover, as she saw Zhang Chen playing more and more roles, there were more and more actresses like her.

She was anxious.

　Oh no, someone is getting anxious and someone is starting to have a headache.

　　If you were faced with the pursuit of an underage person, how would you respond?
