China Entertainment Times

Chapter 610 Have fun! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
In a film studio in Shanghai, Zheng Zhiwei listened to Jay Chou recount the news he had just received from Yang Junlong and the decisions made by the five investors.

Zheng Zhiwei's face slowly turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Snapped!
After Jay Chou finished speaking, he slapped the wall hard.

"Brother Zhiwei, I didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly. Mr. Wu and the others notified me only after discussing it."

Jay Chou was also very helpless. Such a incident happened on Taiwan Island, which caused the box office of the base camp to be even more Waterloo than Waterloo.

Now the only thing we can look forward to is the mainland. Although the three-day score of 3000 million is mediocre, there is still hope to break through [-] million.

With some other income, it will not lose money.

But he never expected that his movie would provoke the largest film and television company in China and be "blocked" by the theaters directly.

That's 25% of the market share. Originally, there were very few film schedules for the summer vacation. This 25% market share is only for 3% of the film schedules.

Zheng Zhiwei, who was full of anger, did not expect Tang An's revenge to come after half a year.

After Tang An asked Wang Changtian to replace Cheng Jiashang's director position, he was also worried for a while, wary of Tang An's tricks behind his back.

But after waiting in fear for a while, I gradually forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, what should come finally came, and this blow was completely humiliating, coming so violently.

As the film's second male lead, he is not allowed to participate in any form of publicity, and his name cannot even appear in the publicity draft. This is definitely the greatest humiliation.

A huge sense of humiliation welled up from my heart, getting stronger and stronger.

As a prominent figure in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry, he absolutely cannot accept this kind of humiliation.

"Ah Lun, you won't agree, will you?" Zheng Zhiwei raised his head suddenly, his face became a little hideous.

"Lao Yang and I just quarreled for more than half an hour, and there is nothing we can do if we don't agree. All publicity actions, routes, and plans were formulated by Hengda, Tang De, and Eucalyptus, and they all agreed."

Jay Chou is also full of helplessness, he is not a pure businessman, Zheng Zhiwei has cooperated with him in three dramas so far, the two of them have a very good relationship, and he can't do anything to push his friends out.

But now is not the time for him to call the shots. He can only cooperate with the publicity. Every road show, every program, and every interview are arranged by the three publishers, and they are also investors. In addition, Mu Xiaoguang, Four have accounted for more than 70% of the investment.

If his words are still useful in normal times, everyone will give him face.

But now that it is related to the success or failure of the film, everyone will look at the profit first if there is a loss of money.

"We can go to the navy and the media to sue Han and Tang for monopolizing theaters."

Suddenly, Zheng Zhiwei thought of a way to use public opinion to force Tang An to make concessions.

Jay Chou shook his head, "Boss Wu and the others thought about it too, but the combined public relations capabilities of the five of us are not as good as Hantang Media, and it's the summer vacation, and many popular movies and TV dramas are released. If it doesn't work, it will only get worse. "

Summer time is not only a popular time in the film industry, but also in the TV industry. Dozens of TV stations and dozens of new TV dramas are broadcast in two months. It is not possible to stir up any news, let alone guide public opinion.

At that time, it was even more impossible for the Han and Tang Dynasties to give up the suppression. Instead, they would launch a counterattack and continue to discredit "Rooftop Love", which would only make things worse.

Zheng Zhiwei did not give up and proposed several methods, but none of them worked.

The meat on the chopping board has no right to resist.

Ordinary stars have no say in the face of film and television companies, let alone Hantang, the number one company in the industry.

Let alone Jay Chou, a little Asian king, even Liu Dehua, the real big king, will not help.

They were being manipulated to death, and the four major investors wanted to use Zheng Zhiwei to settle the matter.

In the end, Zheng Zhiwei, who couldn't think of a better way, could only leave angrily.

If he doesn't take the initiative to leave now, maybe several investors will come to invite him to leave in the afternoon.

Jay Chou sighed inwardly as he watched the short figure gradually receding away.

In the eyes of these big companies, you are a little king or a big star, you are only a person when you are used, otherwise, you are not even qualified to have an equal dialogue.

Now that the recording industry is in recession, digital music piracy is rampant, and concerts cannot be held every day.

Changing careers as a director is the only way to improve your status and make more money.

Jay Chou was thinking about the status of Xu Zheng, Wu Ershan, these new big directors in the industry. They are almost able to talk with big companies on an equal footing.

After wasting a lot of time, Jay Chou returned to the room and called everyone to get ready to go on stage.

"Ah Lun, where's Brother Zhiwei?"

Zheng Zhiwei didn't come back, so someone asked.

"Oh, brother Zhiwei, he suddenly felt a little unwell just now, and he can't participate in the two days of promotion today." Jay Chou said with a normal expression.

The man didn't ask anymore, it was obvious that something had happened, just now Jay Chou made a phone call for half an hour, he looked very nice, after he told Zheng Zhiwei to go out, he was the only one who came back.

Although they were curious about what was going on, they didn't ask any more questions.

In the promotion of "Rooftop Love" for the next day, Zheng Zhiwei did not appear, nor did Zheng Zhiwei appear on the posters hung up during the road show, nor did Zheng Zhiwei exist in some behind-the-scenes videos.

The reporter with a keen sense of smell immediately noticed something was wrong, but no matter how much he asked, the answer he got was that Zheng Zhiwei was not feeling well and rushed back to Xiangjiang to see a doctor.

Fortunately, everywhere I went, several publishers spent money to find reporters to cooperate, so there was no problem.

For the audience, it's no big deal if there are fewer people. Most of the people who can watch this film are for Jay Chou. Who cares about Zheng Zhiwei.

However, this is not a problem for a reporter with great powers. After many inquiries and guesses, all kinds of news appeared.

Why did Zheng Zhiwei get into trouble in the mainland, so he ran back to Xiangjiang to seek refuge.

There are also things like being banned by the boss, I guessed it roughly.

However, except for some people who are keen on the secrets of the entertainment industry, ordinary people don't care what big boss Zheng Zhiwei has messed with. Unless there is some explosive news, no one cares about an outdated Hong Kong male star.

Later, Zheng Zhiwei's hottest news was because he was accused of sexual assault many times, and the people who eat melons are more interested in such things.

Otherwise, a beautiful female celebrity would be banned for defying the boss' unspoken rules, which is also a topic.

If the audience doesn’t pay attention, it’s useless even if the media who know the inside story dig deeper. No one will read the news you’ve written so hard. There’s a trick to it. It’s better to report something that the masses like to hear, even if it’s accompanied by a picture and just make it up. .

For example, Wang Feng, who has just become the mentor of the new episode of Good Voice, has not yet made the headlines with the help of this super popular variety show, and has been dominated by "Interstellar".

But in two months, after his relationship with Zhang Ziyi, who just broke up with Xiao Sa, is exposed, it should be able to hit the headlines.

It was September, the low season of the market, but it was also a headline.

The audience didn't care, but it was not difficult for people in the circle to know. After all, this matter was too obvious, and there were too many people who knew it, so it was impossible to hide it.

Yu Dong, who was the first to cooperate with Xiangjiang filmmakers, couldn't help sighing after hearing the details of the incident reported by the people below.

After ten years, the mainland film market is finally fully controlled by mainlanders, and the influence of Xiangjiang stars and companies in the mainland is no longer what it used to be.

It is also impossible for the first-tier Xiaosheng and Huadan in the mainland to act as supporting roles for the second-tier Hong Kong stars.

A director who had served as the chairman of the Xiangjiang Directors Association and the chairman of the Film Awards Organizing Committee was replaced by Tang An as the director of a major production.

A well-known star who has opened a film and television company and is called a "big boss" in the entire Xiangjiang entertainment circle. Because of Tang An's words, he has been erased from all publicity. Never acted in this movie at all.

These well-known directors and stars are no match for Tang An's light words.

Yellow flowers yesterday!
I don't know what the next ten years will be like.

Huayi Brothers Media, Wang Zhongjun was stunned when he heard this, and he also sighed secretly for Tang An's violent temper.

Immediately, Wang Zhongjun said with a smile, "This is a good thing. At least after this incident, those Xiangjiang directors and actors can be more honest, and we can also save our worries."

"Yeah, those people still can't see the situation clearly. I really think it's still a few years ago, and it's time to teach them a lesson."

Wang Zhonglei nodded. He has been aloof for a long time, but he still can't face up to the fact that Xiangjiang Film has completely declined.

In Huayi's films every year, many directors and actors from Xiangjiang participated in these films. There are also many behind-the-scenes personnel from Xiangjiang in the crew, so there will inevitably be some friction.

In the past, mainland filmmakers were naturally short, and they were often bullied, and not many dared to resist.

But now, with the decline of Xiangjiang Films, whether it is actors or crew members, it is not so easy to be bullied.

The two sides often have conflicts, but some people are still so arrogant, which makes Wang Zhongjun a headache.

It's good now, Cheng Jiashang first, and Zheng Zhiwei, the "big boss", have been dealt with and lose their temper, but anyone who winks should be honest.

A few years ago, Huayi had a lot of cooperation with Yinghuang and Uniasia, and many of the films they invested were starring in them.

Wang Zhongjun wanted to sign the mainland management contracts of artists such as Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Bozhi, Joey Yung, and Twins.

As a result, Yang Shoucheng and Lin Jianyue disagreed with each other, and refused to give in.

All resources are given to your artists. If you ask for an appointment with a mainland agent, you will not be given, and you will not be given to any artist.

All the benefits were taken by others, and I didn't get anything, which made Wang Zhongjun angry.

But there was nothing he could do at that time, he needed the fame of Xiangjiang artists.

Now Tang An was not only venting his anger on himself, but also venting his anger on Wang Zhongjun himself.

Not just Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong.

Zhang Ziyi, who had a sweet date with Wang Feng in a certain place, also felt very happy.

As the actress who is second only to Gong Li in the mainland film industry, Zhang Ziyi's star road is not uneven.

In her early 20s, she was nominated for the Best Actress Award for the first time for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

But after going to Xiangjiang, I found that the whole Xiangjiang did not welcome her, and it was normal for her to be humiliated by the audience and reporters.

She still remembers the look of disdain when people in Xiangjiang called her "Beimei" and abused her for taking away the role that should belong to Shu Qi.

Wang Jing even said bluntly in public that he can train fifty actors like Zhang Ziyi.

Originally, Zhang Ziyi wanted to prove herself with her own strength, change Xiangjiang people's impression of herself, and accept herself.

As a result, the subsequent "Hero" and "2046" were nominated for actress twice, and won an award once, which is still a treat.

Every time the camera was on her, those reporters called her "[-]".

Since then, she has completely given up hope. For the Golden Statue Award for "2046", she was only willing to accept interviews from mainland media, and left without even looking at the area where Hong Kong media reporters gathered.

Until the Golden Statue Awards in April this year, after the second award with "The Grandmaster", the situation improved a little.

But she also knew that it wasn't because she had conquered the Xiangjiang movie circle, but the general environment had changed.

The same person who was deeply discriminated against by the Xiangjiang entertainment circle was Zhao Wei. Since "Returning the Pearl" in 1997, her rise in the entertainment circle was unmatched by anyone.

That year, the 21-year-old Zhao Wei was hailed by the Hong Kong media as a rustic and indecent popular artist, saying that she was a box office poison and predicting that her rising speed would be directly proportional to her death.

The term "box office poison" was introduced by Xiangjiang, and it was first used by Zhao Wei.

For a while, Xiangjiang media paid special attention to every press conference and event of Zhao Wei, even more than their local stars.

The Xiangjiang media constantly question whether Zhao Wei's clothes are decent and whether the colors are the latest trends. Some pictures are still in use today.

Xiangjiang has been smearing Zhao Wei and waiting to drag her into the water, guarding until the clouds open to see the moonlight, and finally waited for the rape incident, of course they have to add insult to injury.

It seems that after the incident of the Mitian Communist Party, the Xiangjiang media even paid for the person who contributed to the Mitian Communist Party to give an exclusive interview detailing the details of the incident.

Actresses are not popular, and so are male actors. Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhou Jie are both deeply affected by it. The latter simply has been repeatedly hyped for more than ten years.

Whenever people's popularity is low, they bring out the matter of tongue kissing for nothing, Zhou Jie has been consumed for more than ten years, and has been blamed for more than ten years.

When reporting, Chen Daoming was also brought in, saying that Chen Daoming made various accusations.

Therefore, Zhou Jie and Chen Daoming had a disagreement in the crew of "Shaobao", and were ordered to be banned by Chen Daoming. This rumor of killing two birds with one stone came into being, and the three became tigers, which was widely circulated.

In the Hong Kong media reports, Zhou Jie became disrespectful to his predecessors and ignorant of current affairs.Chen Daoming has become a narrow-minded "drama bully" who suppresses younger generations.

Later, the melon-eaters also knew that Zhou Jie was responsible, so Chen Daoming, who blocked Zhou Jie at the beginning, had to be scolded.

But fortunately, Chen Daoming's reputation and reputation have always been very good, and it has not been affected in any way.
