Chapter 539 This woman is crazy! (Please subscribe for the second more 4000-word chapter!)
At the premiere scene, Zhang Qiang found Tang An after waiting for a while.

"Tang Dong, I'm really sorry that this happened."

"Mr. Zhang, how do you say that?" Tang An pretended to be puzzled. .

Zhang Qiang said, "I am very sincere in cooperating with Director Tang. After all, we, Li Films, are newcomers in the film and television industry. We need to cooperate with an established film and television company like yours. It's just that there are some problems within the company. They are too aggressive. I am firmly opposed to the company's acquisition of Cultural China and the release of "Tomb Raiders Notes" next summer."

Tang An smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is seriously serious. After your company acquires Culture China, the stock price will definitely rise sharply, and the summer vacation is a good time, which is just right for a movie like "Tomb Raiders Notes."

Zhang Qiang said seriously, "Since Tang Dong said so, I also ask Tang Dong to let Zhao Wei go."

"Oh, Mr. Zhang and Zhao Wei have a good relationship?" Tang An asked curiously.

"We have always caused her trouble in this matter." Zhang Qiang continued quite frankly.

"Zhao Wei is now planning to adapt a novel and remake it into a movie. It will probably be released around May Day next year. I hope Tang Dong will let her go this time."

"Adapting the novel, she wants to make a movie?" Tang An asked.

Zhang Qiang nodded, "It's a novel about youth and nostalgia, and she plans to be the director herself."

Isn't that "To Youth", and I became the director myself.

"Then Mr. Zhang is in charge of this project, and Zhang Wei is in charge of "Tomb Raiders Notes" and "Journey to the West". If she fails and Mr. Zhang succeeds, then the high-level executives will value you even more."

Tang An figured it out right away, there was no unity within Ahli, each had its own project, and whoever hit the ground running would prove his ability and be able to control the company with greater confidence.

"That's really unfortunate. Around May next year, our company will also have a movie released, starring Deng Chao and Yang Mi. It's such an unfortunate coincidence that they will go together now." Tang An laughed and said nonsense.

Zhang Qiang's old face turned dark immediately, he didn't expect Tang An to be so shameless.

Originally, he was afraid that after the announcement of "To Youth", Tang An would make another movie to compete in the ring, and the possibility of this was very high.

Judging from all signs, Tang An is not a generous person.

Didn't Teng Huatao's "Waiting for the Wind" was targeted by Tang An before, and arranged a "Predecessor Raiders" to put "Waiting for the Wind" down.

Just beat Teng Huatao, who had a promising future, back to his original form, and he still doesn't know what he's doing at this time.

Zhang Qiang's face was a bit ugly, "Dong Tang, since you don't pursue this matter anymore, why bother?"

"That's right, I won't pursue this matter anymore. As long as Zhao Wei refunds the money and admits his mistake, I will have people withdraw the lawsuit, and the public relations on the Internet will also be terminated." Tang An said with a smile.

Zhang Qiang was choked and didn't know what to say for a while, Tang An said again, "Mr. Zhang, do you really think that Zhang Wei and the others failed, and if you succeed, you will be able to control the entire Ahli Film Industry?"

"What did Dong Dong say?" Zhang Qiang's tone was a little unhappy.

"Mr. Zhang, believe it or not, no matter how many achievements you have made, let alone take full control of Ah Li Pictures within two years, I am afraid that you will not even get the position of CEO."

"You don't need Tang Dong to worry about that!"

Tang Anke was so angry with Zhang Qiang that he left without saying a word. If he continued, he would have a heart attack.

If you tell the truth, no one will believe it, this fucking world.

Originally, Zhang Qiang had worked in Ahli for two years, and everything was on the right track, so he couldn't kill the donkey after the grind was over.

After working for two years, it has improved a bit, and the position of CEO is gone.

Not only is the CEO gone, but even the president is gone, and he and Zhang Wei are co-presidents.

It's useless to fight back and forth, and you don't have a share.

The premiere officially started at nearly [-] o'clock in the evening. On stage, Xu Zheng was inevitably asked about the role change of "囧囧 in Hong Kong", but he handled it well.

The film began to be screened soon. The version directed and acted by Xu Zheng was a little different from the original version. It didn't look like a ghost movie at the beginning.

However, the overall style is still gray and dark. During hypnosis, I still dangle a pocket watch in front of you.

Generally speaking, it is a work above the standard. The scene props are serious and textured, and the performance is very smooth and excellent.

Although the overall performance is just a performance by two people, interspersed with some scenes of memories, the rivalry between the two is enough to attract the audience, and it will not make people feel boring.

But it can't be said to be absolutely excellent, because the ending doesn't have any surprises.

Moreover, the plot is over-deciphered, repeated flashbacks, and lengthy narration, as if for fear that the audience will not understand, it seems that every detail must be explained to fill the gaps in the plot.

"Leaving blank space" is the highest wisdom of suspense movies, but many domestic suspense movies are difficult to comprehend. They are either too contrived and mysterious, or they insist on giving the audience a definite answer repeatedly told.

However, there are too few good films of the same type in China, and "Master of Hypnotism" can still be called an excellent domestic thriller and suspense film.

The reaction of the audience is also enough to prove their satisfaction with the film.

The next day, many media outlets reported on the film's premiere, and reviews were sent out one after another.

After all, Xu Zheng is also a director with a single film worth over [-] million. Even if this time it is not a comedy, but a suspense film on the contrary, it has received much more attention than ordinary movies.

However, the entertainment headlines on the 14th were not the movie "Master of Hypnotism", nor the hero and heroine Xu Zheng and Wan Qian who dedicated their wonderful acting skills.

Early in the morning, Zhao Wei's Weibo, which had been quiet for a long day, was finally updated with an apology statement.

"I am very sorry for the troubles I have caused to the crew of "囧囧 in Hong Kong" in the past two days. Because I accidentally leaked the details of the film, "囧Hong Kong" suffered a certain loss. Here I am willing to refund the early payment and give up the movie actress. protagonist's role
In the past two days, I have been busy with the new film "To Our Dying Youth" and neglected to contact the crew many times. It was my mistake. I sincerely apologize to Director Xu Zheng and the entire crew. I hope you can forgive."

There are a lot of blah blah, and similar words such as careless and unintentional have been used many times, but the attitude is quite sincere.

Ten minutes later, the official Weibo of the crew of "囧囧 in Hong Kong" also made a statement, saying that the two parties had reached an agreement to terminate the contract, and there were no violent words.

A good melon is nothing to eat, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and the agreed lawsuit will not be fought.

Not only were the melon-eaters stunned, but also those in the industry who watched the excitement felt a little regretful, thinking they would make a big fuss.

However, everyone found another problem. Zhao Wei's statement also mentioned a new movie "To Our Dying Youth".

The navy of both sides left the field, and the media couldn't say anything.

A lot of news is like this, and it comes and goes quickly, especially when there is no navy involved.

Next, under the guidance of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the focus of attention returned to the movie "The Master of Hypnotism".

However, a considerable number of people and the media focused on Zhao Wei's "To Our Perishing Youth".

Fans on her personal Weibo keep asking about the details of the movie, and the media and self-media have also made associations with this title.

An hour later, feeling that the time was almost up, Zhao Wei posted another Weibo to replace the apologetic Weibo.

This is big news, Zhao Wei announced that he and her husband Huang Long jointly invested 10.46 billion Hong Kong dollars in Ah Li Pictures, becoming the second largest shareholder with 8.1% of the shares.

In just two days after Ahli acquired Culture China, its market value has skyrocketed from 67 billion Hong Kong dollars to 115 billion. Although it is not as abnormal as the original increase, it is still amazing enough.

Although it was a joint investment with her husband, she became the second largest shareholder of a large company in an instant. Such a major identity change immediately aroused heated discussions.

An hour later, Zhao Wei added another message on Weibo, announcing that he would direct the film "To Our Dying Youth" for the first time based on the novel of the same name.

After throwing out two big news in a row, it immediately covered up the previous unfavorable news, and promoted a wave of his new movie.

People in the circle were dazzled by this set of punches, and most of the negative news disappeared in an instant, leaving only various news about Zhao Wei's first film directed.

"It's a blast that Zhao Wei has transformed into a director, and will remake the modern romance novel of the same name "To Our Dying Youth"!"

"Actors who are good at acting are directors. After Xu Zheng, a well-known actor has stepped into the ranks of directors again. Can Zhao Wei be as successful as Xu Zheng?"

"Shocked! Zhao Wei wants to be a director!"

"Not an actor but a director, what exactly does Zhao Wei want to do?"

Not only the media is reporting, but her fans and people from all walks of life are also paying attention to this matter.

Generally, those who switch careers to become directors are mostly screenwriters and photographers. No matter how art directors or action directors are, at least the work has a certain degree of overlap.

But actors are completely different. An actor basically doesn’t even know the shooting equipment, lighting types, colors, and composition. He’s a shitty director.

No, Zhao Wei's fans are looking forward to it, anyway, whatever their idol does is good.

Most people who eat melons are still skeptical, questioning and watching jokes.

Of course, the number of directors coming from across the industry has not been as widespread as in later generations, and the audience has not been bombarded by a lot of bad movies made by "unprofessional directors", and there are still relatively few abuses.

If you wait until five or six years later, when the audience hears about a movie made by an actor, writer, or host, their first reaction will be two words.

Big shit!
Zhao Wei, Guo Jinming, and He Jiong in the front ate meat, and those in the back could only drink soup. When the audience got bored, they didn't even have soup.

Not to mention directors, it is becoming more and more difficult to make money even participating in movies.

In the past few years, those who are a little bit famous can still cheat some money, not to mention a lot, there is a box office of 4000 million.

In a few years, Du Haitao from the base camp will star in a movie, and with two veteran actors, the final box office is 4000 yuan (without missing a million words).

It can be said that "the movie treasure talent Du Haitao, the toilet seat picked up the ghost!".

Money is not easy to cheat, the audience has become so smart, how can everyone make money.

Tang An also admired this series of trends in the company. He thought of a solution in just one night, successfully eliminated most of the negative effects, and shifted the audience's attention to the new movie.

After reading the news, Tang An found the book of "The Breakup Master".

This is a film produced by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei. It was originally a drama and was going to be made into a movie.

Although it sucks, if you don't care too much about the first part, it's more fun, and the latter part is not so good.

Judging from the box office trend of subsequent releases, it was very stable in the first four weeks and nearly a month, and there was no cliff-like decline due to poor word of mouth.

As for the previous claim that a movie starring Deng Chao and Yang Mi will be used to compete with them around May [-]st, it is pure nonsense.

As for the film "The Breakup Master", even if Deng Chao and Yang Mi are more famous at this time than before, the chances of doing it are pitifully small.

It would be embarrassing to lose at that time, so let's release it in the summer as usual. It is scheduled to be released in mid-June. After 20 days of release, there is almost no potential. "Interstellar" will continue.

Ah Li Pictures, the atmosphere in the meeting room is a bit delicate.

The old god Zhang Qiang was flipping through the documents in his hand, and Zhang Wei's expression on the bottom was very exciting.

Not only her, but also several other executives who are in the same camp as her.

The battle between the naval forces on their side, the media, and the Han and Tang dynasties was in full swing, and Zhao Wei issued an apology announcement without even notifying.

This is like a war between the two sides. You are fighting life and death. When you look back, the brother troops have quietly withdrawn.

What kind of thing is this, isn't it a scam!
"What's the matter!"

Zhang Wei slapped the table and cursed bitterly.

Zhang Qiang glanced at her, and slowly reminded, "Mr. Zhang, Ms. Zhao is now the second largest shareholder of the company."

Zhang Wei snorted, "Thank you Mr. Zhang for reminding me, I know."

Zhang Qiang shrugged, stopped talking, and continued to look down at his documents.

Anyway, the contradictions between the two factions are now on the surface, and they are not hidden.

After working for a few days, the client quit, and Zhang Wei had nothing to do, and Zhao Wei was already a shareholder of the company at this time, so she couldn't do anything to her.

However, she does not intend to stop the plan for Han Tang. Once it stops, it will prove that the previous strategies are all wrong.

"Hantang will release five or six films this year. They are either low-budget movies or the declining Xiangjiang police and spy films. There is no market at all. I suggest that we specifically block the releases of Hantang films!"

Zhang Wei looked around and said bitterly.

This.
Everyone looked at each other, this decision was a bit too childish.

I don't have a movie to be shown, so it's thankless to block other people's movies. Is it so necessary?

Seeing their reaction, Zhang Wei emphasized, "We, Ah Li Pictures, not only want to become a first-class film and television production company, but we also want to be the top in the industry in terms of publicity and distribution. If we successfully block the release of the film released by Hantang Media, it will be enough to send a message to the entire industry. The industry has proven our capabilities."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qiang could no longer read the documents in front of him.

This woman is crazy.

There is only one thought in his mind now, and he is even faintly excited.

PS: Oh my god, I was so scared to death. I violated the rules by not writing anything in the previous chapter. Delete a sentence of mine.

Please forgive me, I can't help it, thanks!
