Chapter 1889 Gambling

The Grand Hyatt Hotel next to Wangfujing was particularly lively at noon. Reporters from all walks of life who had just come out of the comfortable Spring Festival holiday gathered here.

And the range was quite wide, not only from the entertainment industry, but also from the financial industry, because the person who was about to hold a press conference here was a female star who had recently become quite famous in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

And the theme of her press conference was about Jiasheng Media, which was a company under Feng Yiping, and he was the most favored person in the financial industry.

Liu Zijun, a well-known female host of "China Entertainment Report", the hottest entertainment information program in China at this time, had been in-depth in various entertainment scenes and was definitely a senior entertainment industry professional, but today was the first time she had seen such a scene.

Among the colleagues who filled this multi-functional hall of more than 200 square meters, there were not only reporters from CCTV 8, but also reporters from CCTV 6. Not to mention, reporters from CCTV 2 also came!

Three minutes after the door of the multi-functional hall was closed, Song Huiyi, accompanied by a man and a woman, walked to the front of the stage and sat down.

She was dressed very simply, wearing a simple black dress, without any jewelry, and her eyes were slightly swollen - the makeup artist was quite good. As soon as she came on stage, she sat there with her head down, looking helpless and quite confused - her acting skills were indeed not to be underestimated.

Speaking of which, seeing so many reporters coming to the scene, she was like acting in a crying scene, trying hard to think of things that would make her sad, so that she would not be able to help but smile from the corners of her eyes or eyebrows.

"Thank you for the media reporters. My surname is Chen, and I am Song Huiyi's agent," said the lady in a black suit.

She is a new agent. Before noon, Song Huiyi's agent was still a man.

The reason for replacing her is simple. On their side, there are two women who are unfamiliar with the place, and on the other side is a behemoth like Jiasheng. Don't you feel sympathy?

"After a series of complicated and professional procedures, and out of trust in the reputation of the relevant celebrities, at the end of last year, we turned down many very good performance opportunities and signed an agreement with Jiasheng Media, agreeing that Ms. Song Huiyi would play an important role in a TV series they were preparing,"

"Just after the New Year, the TV series started filming in the suburbs of Beijing, but less than four days after filming, they suddenly decided to terminate the contract with Ms. Song Huiyi for a very ridiculous reason,"

She did not do too much preparation, and in a few words, she told the outline of the matter.

"I also want to tell you that not only did they terminate the contract with Ms. Song Huiyi, but the other two Hong Kong artists in the same group were forced to leave the crew at the same time as Ms. Song,"

"For many years, we Hong Kong artists have always been very yearning for the mainland of our motherland, eager to contribute our efforts to the thriving construction of the mainland,"

"In the past few years, we have always done this. Every time the mainland needs us, Ms. Song Huiyi always actively participates in various activities,"

"Therefore, for this time, we are very angry about this incident..."

At this time, Song Huiyi pulled her sleeves beside her. She looked at Song Huiyi helplessly for a while, and then her tone suddenly dropped a lot, "We are very sorry,"

Just that pull, a look, and a lower tone, they immediately perfectly showed their helplessness, helplessness, kindness, and restraint.

It looks very Xier, very Yang Bailao, and the other side is naturally very Huang Shiren.

"We sincerely hope..."

At this time, the voices from the audience could no longer be suppressed. The reaction of those reporters who did not know much about the inside story was naturally that Jiasheng Media relied on its own strength to treat these actors from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region unfairly.

Is this true? Would Feng Yiping's Jiasheng really do such a thing?

Why did they fire her? Many people immediately imagined a lot of plots. Could it be that the unspoken rules did not work, so they were angry and embarrassed?

Although this person is not very young, she is indeed very charming, and famous. The key is that some people may like this type?

Suddenly, the shouts below came one after another, but they all asked the same question, "Excuse me, why did Jiasheng fire you?"

As for this matter, Liu Zijun of China Entertainment Report knew that their column happened to have a reporter in the film and television city today. When Song Huiyi left the film and television city, she left a lot of words, and many reporters followed from there.

At this time, she shouted, "Ms. Chen, did Jiasheng Media fire Ms. Song because she can't speak Mandarin?"

She saw that Ms. Chen on the stage glanced at her, but didn't mean to answer her question.

Ms. Chen certainly didn't want to answer her question. We said it was a unilateral termination of the contract, and you said it was a dismissal. Can you not say it so simply and rudely?

But the female host sent by China Entertainment Report today is famous for her arrogance and hot temper. Seeing this, Liu Zijun simply stood on the stool, "Ms. Song, did Jiasheng Media fire you because you can't speak Mandarin?"

She was so out of line and so outstanding that she really couldn't help but respond.

"Can't speak Mandarin?" Is it because of this reason? Those reporters who just heard the news were a little stunned.

Just because of this, it doesn't seem to be enough to break the contract, let alone Song Huiyi, those Hong Kong celebrities who go to the mainland to hold concerts one after another and are more famous in the mainland, how many of them can speak Mandarin? Even a simple "Thank you!" they said was hard to understand.

However, why do I still feel a little relieved after hearing that Jiasheng did this?

"Miss Song, is it because of this?" Liu Zijun asked.

Song Huiyi is really difficult to speak. She really can't speak Mandarin. She speaks Cantonese first and then asks her agent to translate? At this time, it seems really inappropriate.

"I...have been...trying...to...study," she stuttered out, and everyone could barely make out the meaning.

"We admit that Huiyi still needs to work hard to learn Mandarin, but we must point out that this issue has actually been discussed when signing the agreement. Hong Kong and the Mainland have cooperated for so many years. How to solve this problem? In fact, everyone They all have very mature methods, and it will not affect the performance effect,"

"If everyone remembers, the first co-productions between Hong Kong and the Mainland were two co-productions, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain". The leading actor was Mr. Tony Leung Ka-fai. He did not speak Mandarin at the time, but he Because of his outstanding performance in "The Curtain", he won the Best Actor Award at the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards."

Ms. Chen was obviously prepared, citing this example from more than 20 years ago.

"This fully demonstrates that speaking Cantonese in a co-production will not affect the performance of the actors,"

"Huiyi is a very dedicated actor and attaches great importance to this cooperation. From the time she got the script to now, she has memorized every line in the script and designed a performance plan for every scene. It’s as detailed as steps, turns, and even hand movements.”

"We very much hope that we can give our most exciting performance to the domestic people. We very much hope that Jiasheng will take these factors into consideration. We still hope that we can continue to cooperate well. Thank you all, thank you for your support. !”

It should be said that Song Huiyi and the others were very considerate and didn't even mention a word of the harsh words she said when she slammed the door out, including suing Jiasheng Media for bankruptcy.

In fact, they knew very well that if the conflict was intensified like that, they would definitely not be in good hands.

…………

"How about it, lose," Chen Tao extended his hand to Shangguan Qiufang.

Shangguan Qiu Fang reluctantly handed him 50 yuan.

"Haha, let me tell you, I can guess every step she makes," Chen Tao said with a smile.

"How are you so sure that they will choose the Oriental Plaza?" Shangguan Qiufang was a little confused.

There are so many hotels in the capital.

"Simple, because Oriental Plaza is the largest and first project invested in Hong Kong. Even the Hong Kong representatives attending the two sessions chose to stay there. Of course they will choose there this time because she will feel at ease there,"

The phone on the table rang, "Mr. Chen, the reporters are here,"

"Okay, invite them in," Chen Tao straightened his clothes, "Let's go, Director Shangguan,"

The reporters who were at Grand Hyatt Oriental just now all rushed to Jiasheng.

"Mr. Chen, I would like to ask Jiasheng Media, did it really fire the three Hong Kong actors in the crew because they couldn't speak Mandarin?" This is what many people asked first.

"Mr. Chen, is this what Mr. Feng meant?" Liu Zijun asked a topic that everyone was interested in, "Because as far as we know, after Mr. Feng visited the crew, the crew immediately stopped working, and then made made this decision,”

"Let me answer the second question first. Yes, it can be said that Mr. Feng helped us make this decision."

"Actually, after we started filming, we discovered the consequences of the language barrier. However, considering our investment and related compensation, including a series of additional investments caused by the crew's shutdown and re-casting, we are somewhat hesitate,"

"After observing the scene, Mr. Feng also felt that this was not an option. If we want to do it, we must make high-quality products. The first urban drama we filmed, "A Gentleman's Dignity", has been recognized by the audience. We are now My first costume drama, "Gong Lock Heart Jade", I also hope to be recognized by everyone for its excellent production."

"That's why we made such a difficult decision,"

"But will this really affect the shooting effect? ​​Tony Leung Ka Fai couldn't speak Mandarin back then, but he still won the Academy Award for "Curtain Curtain"," someone said.

"You said this, we are clear about it. When we were filming those two movies, it was very difficult to perform because of the language barrier. Later, the two leading actors designed some small actions to remind each other. We look back now, You can even see some in the movie,”

"After Liu Xiaoqing finished speaking, he gestured with his orchid fingers. After Liang Jiahui finished speaking, he stopped the fan."

Fortunately, there was a time difference, otherwise Chen Tao would not have been able to find out about this matter.

"Then everyone, wouldn't this kind of cooperation have an impact on the performance?"

It turns out there is such a thing!

If you think about it, it will have an impact. There will inevitably be incoherence and loose connections.

"Mr. Feng has repeatedly stressed that we must present the audience with carefully crafted masterpieces. Therefore, although doing so will increase the cost of our film "Palace Lock Heart Jade", we still decided to do so,"

"We also know that making such a decision will definitely offend some people. Many people who go to the north to film also cannot speak Mandarin. After knowing this, how can they have a good impression of us? However, we have no regrets,"

"Objectively speaking, is it so difficult for a person who knows Chinese characters and can understand, at least partially, Mandarin to learn Mandarin?"

"Shouldn't a person who is paid a high salary to film in the mainland and really wants to present his wonderful performance to the mainland audience learn Mandarin?"

"We think that, in the final analysis, it is not a question of whether or not, but a question of whether or not to learn,"

"Then why don't you want to learn to speak Mandarin? This reason," Chen Tao shook his head, "I think everyone should know,"

After hearing what he said, who doesn't know, arrogance, contempt, so I think there is no need to learn!

"But Mr. Chen, have you ever considered that for some people, learning to speak Mandarin is really difficult, just like asking you to learn to speak Cantonese," a reporter said.

"Although I learned Cantonese, it would not bring me a high income, which means I don't have much motivation, but since you said so, I will make a promise in front of all my friends. Within three months," he raised three fingers, "within three months, I will definitely use my spare time to learn Cantonese well,"

His words were powerful.
