The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 396: Preventing a desperate situation, Emma wants to teach technology
"Boss Han, what's the matter?"

Zhang Chen was still thinking about how to deal with the Huo family's affairs when Han Sanping called.

It seems that he has paid attention to the news on the Internet.

"Zhang Chen, you should know what happened on your Weibo, right?"

Zhang Chen knew from Han Sanping's voice that the other party was very anxious at this time.

This is a huge deal.

It just so happened that Zhang Chen posted two Weibo posts in a row, and the time interval between them was not long.

Many people were still commenting and chatting in the message section of Zhang Chen’s first Weibo post. Zhang Chen then posted a second Weibo post, so in a short period of time, a large number of netizens who had already gathered on Zhang Chen’s Weibo account gathered here.

Just when they were still discussing the question Zhang Chen asked them, "Is Liu Yifei beautiful?", the Huo family actually came here to complain.

So it didn't take long before the Huo family's message was pushed to the top by netizens' likes and comments.

It also made something that originally needed time to ferment become known to everyone in just one hour.

That's why Han Sanping was anxious.

"Mr. Han, what do you want?" Zhang Chen asked tentatively.

He didn't know what the other party was thinking yet, so it would be better to ask first.

“This matter has become a bit of a fuss now.”

Han Sanping was also helpless. He felt that he had been unlucky recently. First, Chen Kai's "The Promise" was a complete flop and he was mocked by netizens, which resulted in a huge loss on the books of China Film Investment.

He was still thinking that he could recover some of his losses through "Huo Yuanjia", but the Huo family ended up causing such trouble again.

Since they had found Zhang Chen to seek justice, Han Sanping had to ask Zhang Chen, the person involved, for his opinion: "Zhang Chen, tell me the truth, how do you want to deal with this movie?"

"Me." Zhang Chen had a headache. He just learned about this matter. To be honest, he hasn't figured out how to deal with it. However, he still used a more tactful way to express his point of view. "Boss Han, since you are using the image of someone's ancestor, at least you can't change his experience at will, right?"

Zhang Chen didn’t know how to comment on Huo Yuanjia, but it was completely justified for his descendants to sue the movie Huo Yuanjia on the grounds of “damaging Huo Yuanjia’s reputation”.

After all, no one wants their ancestors to appear on the screen in an uncomfortable image.

If it was a few people who were recognized in history as kneeling on a certain ground, then no one would think there was anything wrong with adapting it in a bad way. But if it was Huo Yuanjia, perhaps his achievements could not compare with those of the real heroes in history.

But in certain areas, and at the time and under the circumstances, he did give the Chinese people a sense of pride.

This movie adapted from such a respectable historical figure is an "artistic re-creation" of the real character and history.

It would be fine if the work was created in a good direction, but now the Huo family feels that the creation of "Huo Yuanjia" is an insult to their ancestors, which is a big problem.

"In film creation, you know that sometimes in order to make the plot more compact, certain adaptations are needed." Han Sanping also stated the fact.

In fact, even in biographical films about real historical figures, it is rare that they can restore the real story 100%.

Many of them will be re-created to a certain extent.

"Boss Han, then..." Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment and asked a key question, "Did you get the authorization from the Huo family before filming?"

"No." Han Sanping said helplessly, "I didn't expect this situation to happen before filming started."

"Boss Han, the message from the Huo family on my Weibo has already received hundreds of thousands of likes and comments. I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, right?"

"Yes!" Han Sanping said affirmatively, "That's why I wanted to ask you what you want to do."

"Alas," Zhang Chen sighed heavily, "I am not an FY, so I am not qualified to judge who is right or wrong. If you want to protect your rights, you still have to find formal channels."

"Your words are enough!" Han Sanping said with a happy tone, "Then I feel relieved. I wish you great success at the Oscars!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Chen to react.

Zhang Chen put the phone in front of him, stared at it for a while, and suddenly said, "Xiao Xue, I think my schedule is pretty busy recently, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I won't have time to care about other things in the outside world." Zhang Chen chuckled, "Some things are only deterrent if you do them occasionally. Doing them too much will have the opposite effect."

Logically speaking, "Huo Yuanjia" was filmed by a Hong Kong director, and now this is a perfect reason.

If Zhang Chen continues to suppress the Hong Kong film market using this reason, few people will think there is anything wrong with it.

Because the problem itself is that the producers did not do enough preliminary work.

Zhang Chen could actually use this to make a fuss, removing the movie "temporarily" and releasing it after the matter is over.

But he had just taken action against "The Promise" and prevented Zhou from starring in Zhang Yimou's film, and now he has removed a Hong Kong film controlled by China Film.

Too often.

If this is done too frequently, Hong Kong artists who originally favor the mainland will become disgusted with the Morning Glory Group.

This is not what Zhang Chen wants, nor is it what some people want.

All deterrent things are most useful when others know you have them but you still hold them in your hands.

Just pull it out and show it off from time to time to prove that this thing has always existed.

If you don't do it, others will doubt whether you have such a thing.

If it happens too frequently, the other party will be desperate and fight to the death with you.

So you have to find a balance.

At least after "The Promise" and "Curse of the Golden Flower", Zhang Chen did not feel the need to use overly extreme methods again in "Huo Yuanjia".

If this incident happened a year after The Promise, Zhang Chen would consider the Huo family's statement and selectively support them to achieve his goal.

But now it’s too close to the last thing, so it’s unnecessary.

It is easy for them to change from "panic" to "rise up in resistance".

Just adding to the trouble, this is how Zhang Chen characterizes the matter.

So it wasn't because of Han Sanping's call that Zhang Chen gave in, because he continued to make the previous film "The Promise" which was also invested by China Film.

But the timing was not right, and he had to hide his methods for a while to give some people some time to relax.

The maximum effect can only be achieved by giving them a sudden blow without warning every time they feel they are ready and begin to relax their vigilance.

Having lived for so long, Zhang Chen has become very familiar with how to make people's psychological defenses collapse step by step.

The key is to have a legitimate reason, without any warning, without any gossip, and to perform every move accurately and ruthlessly.

Zhang Chen listened to someone's lazy voice and immediately returned to his room: "No, let's sleep for a while."

The good thing about a private jet is that there is a room specifically for him to rest.

Now, he also needed to use a set of steady, accurate and ruthless moves to be able to sleep peacefully and survive the several hours of the voyage.

"Ah! What are you doing~" Apparently someone was invited to be the one to take the challenge.

"I suddenly want to learn some of Wei Xiaobao's martial arts skills."

Young lovers really dare to say anything in private.

On the evening of March 3th, U.S. time, the 6th Academy Awards were held at the Kodak Theater.

Unlike the three major European film festivals, the Oscars do not have a lengthy film screening session. The films participating in the award ceremony are all films that were released in 05 and have been verified by the market and the jury.

And because of the existence of the Golden Globe Awards, the British Broadcasting Film Critics Circle Awards, the National Board of Review Awards and the four major labor union awards, which are known as the "Oscar outposts and weather vanes", as well as the early announcement of the nominations, movie fans around the world have their own guesses about the winning films.

As for the most watched Golden Globe Awards, two Chinese directors - Zhang Chen and Ang Lee, as well as the director of the movie "King Kong" are the most watched movies and directors.

In addition, this year's Oscars also include the film series "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which has been entered into the Oscars for many consecutive years, "Munich" by legendary director Steven Spielberg, and "Pride and Prejudice", which is adapted from Jane Austen's novel of the same name and stars Keira Knightley, known as the "English Rose" who has starred in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

It can be said that all the movies at this year's Oscars are well-known to everyone, and they brought everyone a good viewing experience last year and achieved great results at the box office.

The red carpet of the Oscars is star-studded, and every star, director, and producer who appears on the stage is a well-known figure in the world of film and television.

These images were also broadcast to all parts of the world through television.

"Hey, Leon!"

The red carpet was approaching the most watched stage in the second half. Zhang Chen had just gotten out of the car with the crew members when they ran into Will Smith, who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

Speaking of which, after Zhang Chen arrived in the United States, he was busy dealing with the affairs of several companies and had no time to meet with his old friends here.

"Will, long time no see." Zhang Chen smiled and stepped forward to shake his hand, patting his back vigorously. "I don't think I saw you nominated."

"Come on, if I'm not nominated, can I not attend today's award ceremony?" Will Smith glanced at Zhang Chen with a hint of resentment. "Who is like you? You never attend award ceremonies that have nothing to do with you, and you have never attended as an award presenter."

"I think I've been an award presenter before." Zhang Chen wasn't sure, but he didn't bother to think about it. "I'm usually too busy to have the time to present awards to others."

The two walked inside while talking.

"By the way, this time it's not that host, right?"

"Don't worry, if the Oscars still let that host host this year's awards ceremony, it would be a slap in the face of the whole world and it would be a disrespect to you."

"Is my face so important?"

"Hey, what are you saying?" Will Smith laughed, "Don't you know who you are?"

"Well, just an ordinary director?" Zhang Chen laughed.

The two walked inside while being photographed by media reporters and TV stations on both sides of the red carpet.

At this time, there were no other stars on the red carpet.

This is exactly the same as last year's Oscars ceremony, which is special treatment for the big star Zhang Chen.

The difference is that this time there is Will Smith, a black man and also an old friend of Zhang Chen, to accompany him. Oscar also implicitly sent Zhang Chen the goodwill they wanted to ease the relationship.

Last time, it was a black host who said some bad things about the Asians represented by Zhang Chen. This time, the Oscars used another black host, but sent Will Smith, an old friend of Zhang Chen, to show with practical actions that they have no ill will towards Zhang Chen, and that the black community does not have any bad views of Asians.

No matter what the real situation is, what matters is that this is what Oscar wanted to express to Zhang Chen.

"Leon!"

Zhang Chen had just finished an interview with the red carpet host and entered the Kodak Theater when he heard a surprised voice not far away.

Before Zhang Chen could react, Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, stood in front of Zhang Chen in an instant, opened her arms to the person running towards her, "Emma, long time no see."

"Oh, it's Liu." Emma glanced at Zhang Chen angrily, and after hugging Liu Yifei, she continued, "You haven't come to Yingguo to see us for a long time."

"You are all veteran actors now. You don't need my guidance anymore, right?"

"So you don't care about Liu's performance in the movie?"

When Zhang Chen heard this, he glanced at Liu Yifei.

As early as last year, Liu Yifei participated in "Harry Potter" as Qiu Zhang, but because Zhang Chen's schedule was tight and Liu Yifei also said in words and deeds not to let him go, he did not deliberately arrange a trip to Yingguo.

"We've all known each other for so long, there's no need to go to the set to visit them."

Liu Yifei smiled and helped Zhang Chen answer this question.

She had known since she was a child that the blonde girl in front of her coveted Zhang Chen. Some time ago, she even said something like "If I had known this, I would have slept in Zhang Chen's bed earlier" on the Internet.

This made the little girl's guard against Emma, which she had originally let down, rise again.

Zhang Chen is like a piece of Tang Monk's meat. Every woman wants to take a bite of it.

Ordinary women can't even see Zhang Chen, so what she needs to pay attention to are the women who can see Zhang Chen.

Emma is one of them.

Avril is another one.

Sometimes relationships between women are just so strange.

Liu Yifei usually shares some interesting stories between her and Zhang Chen with Emma, and also asks Emma about some things between men and women.

As for the purpose, because the two have known each other since childhood, they both consider each other as friends.

At the same time, Liu Yifei told Emma the intimate things between her and Zhang Chen, hoping that Emma would back down.

Emma actually understood Liu Yifei's subtext, but she pretended not to know: "Liu, do you need me to teach you some techniques?"

"Technology?" Liu Yifei was surprised.

Zhang Chen helplessly watched the two "confrontation" and sighed tiredly.

But the ceremony was about to begin, and they had no time to reminisce.

　I have a wedding to host at noon tomorrow, and then I have to go to a friend's birthday party in the evening. The update may only be 4000 words. The next chapter will be put after 12 o'clock. I will update as much as I can. If there is less, I will make up for it later.
