Chapter 1000 The Behavior Is Getting More and More Crazy! A Big Deal? Let the Storm Come Even Harder!
"Oh, now that I think about it, what she said during the award ceremony, 'I don't have anyone in my family who makes movies,' was really ridiculous. I thought she was working so hard, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of hard work. Everyone is working hard." It’s so ridiculous to be on someone’s bed…”
On the morning of the 21st, as soon as Chen Fei arrived at the set, he heard Han Jia Nu complaining.
Obviously, this "little mountain eagle" who likes to eat melons has also noticed the scandal that suddenly broke out in the entertainment industry last night.
Standing next to her is Wang Yong, chairman of Xiying.
Listening to Han Jia'v's words, Chairman Wang's face was full of disdain: "A person like this has the nerve to laugh at others? Haha, it's better now, have you been slapped in the face?"
Both of them were watching the excitement, and at the same time they were also paying attention to the news on the Internet, preparing to see how long the popularity would last.
Not just them, but also many people in the industry.
Everyone is waiting for the reaction from the side of Xiangjiang in the situation of "everyone pushes down the wall".
If someone comes out to defend, it depends on the strength of the other party and whether they can bear the pressure.
But if no one is willing to come forward, then this new Golden Horse actress will be dead!
However, what is unexpected is that everyone did not wait for Xiangjiang's reaction and actions immediately. Instead, they saw Huayi's "rescue" strategy first!
"The Death of Romance" has been in theaters for 5 days now, but its total box office of 81.99 million is telling of its stretch and misfortune.
Moreover, the latest day's box office results have dropped below 5 million.
Under this circumstance, Huayi's stock naturally plummeted all the way and did not rise at all.
This is the case for listed companies in this type of film and television. Whether the stock price rises or falls depends very much on the box office performance of the movies invested by the company after its release.
The same is true for China Film and LeTV on the other side. With the continuous decline in the box office of "The Great Wall" and the surge of online public opinion, the market value of both companies has dropped by nearly one billion in the past few days!
Now, in order to maintain the stability of the stock market, Huayi has finally launched a "rescue" strategy.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, multiple news releases sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, landing on Weibo's hot search list.
"The State Administration of Film announced today that the project "Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings" has appeared in the approved list of film and television scripts. The film has successfully obtained a filming permit."
"According to public documents, the film will be produced solely by Huayi. The plot is connected to "The Dragon King of Shendu". It tells the story of Di Renjie, who obtained the Dragon Mace after solving the case of the Dragon King of Shendu, and took charge of Dali Temple; The story of the group of people working together to regain the Dragon Mace; Di Renjie revealed Wu Zetian's true face and launched an illusory battle with the demon clan. "
"Huayi announced that: "Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings" will officially launch the casting plan today. The film will continue to be directed by director Xu Ke and will invest no less than 500 million in production costs to create a film with Xu Ke's character. Featured 'Oriental Art' works."
"Director Xu Ke posted on Weibo: Thank you very much for the invitation from Huayi. We will go all out to integrate the essence of Eastern culture with a super high level of film industrialization, and with the help of top production standards that are comparable to Hollywood, we will make full of Fantasy oriental stories can be presented on the big screen! ”
"According to public information, it is known that Ms. Shi Nansheng, the ex-wife of Director Xu Ke, will once again serve as the producer of the film..."
~
"Tsk, tsk, yesterday "The Ferryman" had a production cost of 430 million, and today "Four Heavenly Kings" has a production cost starting at 500 million, and some time ago, "The Trilogy of the Gods" cost 30 Billion, why didn’t I know that the cost of film and television production in our Chinese film industry has suddenly become so high?”
Listening to Chen Fei's complaints, Han Sanping, who knew the meaning of his words, sneered and said, "Just wait and see, what these people eat now will definitely make them spit it out!"
The boss is not stupid. How could he not know about the chaos in the entertainment industry?
It's just that there is still a lack of a suitable opportunity to cut it with a knife.
"What these listed companies are doing is so crazy!" Wang Yong murmured, his words full of emotion.
Comparing people to each other can really make people angry!
Thinking about Xiying, the poor people are almost mortgaging their assets and are about to make ends meet.
But look at other companies, good guys! Each one of them sold hundreds of millions, as if the money was blown by the northwest wind.
Throughout the morning, the film and television industry's attention was focused on Huayi and "Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings", and they did not take it back for a long time.
Just as the two Wang brothers predicted, with the announcement of this "big project", the stock price that had fallen suddenly ushered in a moment of recovery.
The crisis from "The Demise of Romance" was easily resolved!
However, when the time came in the afternoon, the news from Xiangjiang made the two brothers feel a little disconnected.
At the same time, the entire entertainment industry has officially received positive feedback on last night's gossip!
"At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, capital time, Huanxi Media held a high-profile signing ceremony and press conference for new shareholders and partners in Xiangjiang."
"At the press conference, Huanxi Media Chairman Dong Ping joined hands with directors Wang Jiawei and Chen Kexin to warmly welcome the two mainland directors Gu Changwei and Zhang Yibai to officially join the company!"
"Witnessed by many media reporters, Dong Ping announced that Huanxi Media will conditionally distribute more than 65 million shares and 125 million shares to directors Gu Changwei and Zhang Yibai respectively;
After the signing is officially completed, the two will hold 2.71% and 5.16% of Huanxi Media's equity respectively."
"From the content of the agreement, it can be learned that after signing, Huanxi Media will have the right to invest in the two directors' film works before others, with the maximum investment amount being 60% of the total investment of each film work!"
"As of today, Huanxi Media already has four major director shareholders, Wang Jiawei, Chen Kexin, Gu Changwei, and Zhang Yibai. At the beginning of its listing, it has been promoting the 'big The 'Director Alliance' has achieved initial results;
Currently, the 'Big Director Alliance' system is second only to the 'Ten King Kongs' of Feiyue Film and Television, namely: Chen Fei, Ning Hao, Guo Fan, Wang Shiliang, Shen Ao, Lu Yang, Yang Yu, Li Yang, Kang Honglei, and Chen Guofu. "
"At the same time, at the signing conference of the new shareholders and partners of Huanxi Media, director Chen Kexin revealed that Huanxi Media Co., Ltd. is currently following up on a project adapted from Jiu Yuexi's novel "Youth, So Beautiful".
The project will still be directed by Zeng Guoxiang, the son of Zeng Zhiwei, and the leading actress 'Chen Nian' will be tailored to the actor Zhou Dongyu, so stay tuned..."
For the whole afternoon, the entertainment industry was abuzz with excitement!
All major capitals are paying attention to this "Big Director Alliance" of Huanxi Media, considering its feasibility and development potential.
And the rest of the stars, actors, etc., have all set their sights on the project "Youth, So Beautiful".
Yesterday, everyone was still thinking about how Zhou Dongyu would deal with and turn things around after this disaster, and whether the people behind the scenes would make a move.
And now, the result has come out.
Huanxi Media and Chen Kexin made a move, and it was another movie project, and it was a female lead role, and it was tailor-made!
I have to say, this is a big deal!
~
"Interesting, this operation is really interesting. The Hong Kong circle is obviously ready to protect this "Golden Horse Film Queen". I received news that the relevant public opinions and hot searches will be withdrawn at a high price..."
When Chen Fei got home from get off work in the evening, he received another call from Wang Changtian.
Chairman Wang Da has a lot of gossip and inside information in his hands. After all, Guangguang is from a media company, and he is a "know-it-all" in this regard.
And Chen Fei likes to listen to gossip, so the two of them would call and chat from time to time.
"They will definitely protect her!" Chen Fei laughed, "She was a former actress of Mou Girl, and she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress not long ago, which means that the Hong Kong circle has invested a lot of resources in her. How could they give up on her because of some gossip?"
"That's true." Wang Changtian said, and couldn't help sighing, "Guangguang also had a fancy for the project of "Youth, So Beautiful" at that time, but I didn't expect that they would eventually take it away."
"Is this project good?"
Chen Fei had some vague memories in his mind, but he only remembered that the movie was starred by "Little Yellow Duck" and "Four Characters", and there was nothing else.
"If we can find two actors with high enough popularity, and cooperate with large-scale publicity, it can be made into a top youth-themed masterpiece!"
"Oh, it seems that Huanxi Media has picked up a treasure this time."
"That's right, Dong Ping is coming with great momentum, and he is preparing to catch all the big directors in one fell swoop."
"Hey? Why does what Mr. Wang said sound sour?" Chen Fei keenly noticed the change in Wang Changtian's tone.
"Alas, Zhang Yimou was also poached over there."
"Huh?!" Chen Fei sat up straight: "Is it true?"
"My people found out that Zhang Yimou also flew to Hong Kong today to attend the shareholder signing media conference held by Huanxi Media."
Hearing this, Chen Fei immediately understood.
If there was no intention to cooperate, how could Lao Mouzi go to Hong Kong?
You know, he is still following up on the promotion activities of "The Great Wall". It can be said that he deliberately took out free time from his busy schedule.
…
The night gradually deepened, but the nightlife of feasting and drinking had just begun.
“Come on, Director Zhang, we have to have a good drink. Thank you for flying from the mainland to Hong Kong to witness today’s Huanxi Media Shareholders Signing Conference.”
At the celebration dinner, Dong Ping smiled and held Zhang Yimou’s hand, and he was so eager.
Even Gu Changwei and Zhang Yibai, who just joined the “Big Director Alliance” today, did not enjoy this treatment.
However, whether it was Wang Jiawei and Chen Kexin, or Gu Changwei and Zhang Yibai, they did not have any complaints at this time, but were chatting with Zhang Yimou enthusiastically.
Several people knew that Dong Ping wanted to pull Zhang Yimou to join Huanxi.
And if it succeeds, it will undoubtedly be a huge benefit to the future development of Huanxi!
Even if Lao Mouzi’s "The Great Wall" encountered many problems, it did not pose a big threat to his influence and directing level.
And everyone knows that the problems with "The Great Wall" are actually due to the script and have little to do with the director himself.
Therefore, if we can bring him into the game, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the influence of Huanxi, the "big director alliance", and this will be hugely beneficial to their personal interests!
"Yimou, you have seen the scene today. It is much better to join Huanxi than to join that shabby LeTV. Real money is flowing into your pockets!"
Gu Changwei said cheerfully and was in a good mood.
But at this time, Zhang Yimou frowned slightly and asked curiously: "But you and Chen Kexin..."
"Everyone is here for profit, so just draw a clear line. Although we each rely on and enjoy the resources of happiness, this does not affect us from communicating with each other until death, right?"
Gu Changwei saw it quite clearly.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ma Sixun is Jiang Wenli's niece, and he is just a uncle.
It’s impossible to extrapolate an income of hundreds of millions because of a niece who is not related by blood, right?
As for Huayi, the two parties have completely severed ties.
The two Wang brothers were too greedy, too demanding, and their behavior was too evil. He was really afraid!
"That's true." Zhang Yimou nodded, already secretly thinking about the next arrangements.
After watching the signing ceremony of Huanxi Media today, he already made a decision in his heart!
~
At the same time, in Wang Zhonglei’s private club.
"Zhao Youting? Feng Shaofeng? Lin Gengxin? Ruan Jingtian? Mr. Wang, are these the four leading actors you found for "Detective Dee: The Four Kings"?"
Xu Ke looked at the character list in his hand and frowned subconsciously.
As far as he knows, although these four are also first-line actors, they are all at the bottom in terms of popularity, popularity, and popularity.
A movie with an investment of 500 million does not have a top-tier box office hit. This is a very dangerous situation!
Wang Zhonglei put down the wine glass in his hand, with a deep look in his eyes. He knew what Xu Ke was thinking now.
"Director Xu, you have to know that the current movie market is unpredictable, so we can't just look at this movie from the perspective of actors and movie costs."
Xu Ke frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously disapproving of this statement.
He sighed and said: "Mr. Wang, I understand what you mean, I also know that you can make money by doing this, and I don't deny that I am a money-loving person.
However, as a director, I always believe that the quality of a movie is the key. If the cost is too high and the quality cannot match it, then the final result may disappoint fans and moviegoers. I don’t want "The Four Heavenly Kings" to become Such a movie. "
When Wang Zhonglei heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.
He patted Xu Ke on the shoulder and said firmly: "Director Xu, don't worry, I have confidence in this movie. Although the cost is a bit high and the actors are relatively low-popular, our production team and publicity team are all It’s not top-notch, but as long as you can make this movie, I believe the audience will buy it.”
Xu Ke nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not completely dissipate.
"Mr. Wang, have you found a suitable solution at Wanda? After all, the cost of this movie is too high. If the final box office is poor due to the impact of film schedule, not only will the company suffer losses, but my reputation will also suffer." will also be affected.”
"Haha, Director Xu, you are a responsible director," Wang Zhonglei said while laughing: "Don't worry about Wanda, the group will make arrangements.
As for the rest, you don’t have to worry about it. As the saying goes, risks and opportunities coexist. Only by daring to take risks can you achieve greater success, right? "
Hearing this, Xu Ke fell silent.
He nodded slowly and didn't say much, but he already had a decision in his heart.
I believe that after "Journey to the West" and "Four Heavenly Kings" are over, he will have enough money to support his family. Even if he and Hua Yi part ways, he won't have to worry about going hungry.
Like Gu Changwei, he is also a little scared now!
Because the operations of the two Wang brothers are getting more and more crazy. If something goes wrong, it will be catastrophic!
Xu Ke didn't dare to gamble. After all, if something went wrong and he was regarded as a "scapegoat", he would be in big trouble!
…
"The latest daily box office sales of the movie "The Great Wall" have fallen below the 30 million yuan mark."
"The total box office of "Operation Red Sea" has approached 3.8 billion, and a new box office record is about to be set. Let's wait and see!"
"The new daily box office of "The Death of Romance" is only 1.24 million yuan. The film's box office potential is about to be exhausted, and it may be officially canceled in the next few days."
"The comedy and love-themed movie "The Ferryman" produced by Alibaba Pictures, produced by Wang Jiawei, directed by Zhang Yijia, starring Tony Leung, Kim Sung-wu, Eason Chan, Yang Ying, Rongrong Zhang and others has completed preparations. The film will be scheduled to At 12 o’clock in the morning tonight, it will be officially launched in all major theaters.”
"The comedy and action-themed movie "Railway Tiger", co-produced by Shanghai Film and Yao Lai Pictures, directed by Ding Mao and starring Chen Long, Huang Zitao, Wang Kai, Xu Fan and others, has completed preparations and will be released today. At 12 o'clock in the morning, it will be officially launched in all major theaters."

"Director Ren, how are you? Are you nervous?"
"Uncle Ren, you have to be mentally prepared. Those who scolded "The Great Wall" and Uncle La will soon turn around and scold you."
"If you don't follow the rules, there will naturally be people who follow the rules who will criticize you. This is inevitable. You must be prepared for a big loss."
"Xiying does have this kind of courage, but this kind of violation of discipline should be treated with caution, otherwise it will be too troublesome."
In the set of "Dying to Survive", a group of people were all teasing Ren Zhonglun.
However, at this time, Chairman Ren did not refute it, but raised his head high, as if he was ready to accept the erosion of the "storm".
"For the future of Shanghai Film, I don't regret it, because this is the best opportunity to tie Yaolai Pictures and Chen Long to the Shanghai Film chariot!"
