Chapter 1043: Stingy Zhang Chaoyang! Reject "The Mermaid 2"! Another Big Bombshell!
"As of today, the anti-corruption drama "In the Name of People" has successfully surpassed "The Empress of China" and the 2011 "God Drama" "Temptation to Go Home", breaking the provincial TV ratings record in the past ten years!
The drama currently has a daily rating of 6.86, and the ratings share has exceeded 20%. The real-time ratings of CSM52 cities have once exceeded 8%, and the number of views on the network platform has exceeded 23 billion times!
Industry experts analyzed that: By the end of the drama, the expected average ratings may be comparable to the Spring Festival Gala!"
"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Fast and Furious 8" produced by Universal Pictures was officially released in domestic theaters at 12 am yesterday. On the first day of release, the comprehensive ranking The film rate is as high as 67.6%! "
"The ancient costume love TV series "A Chinese Odyssey: Love You for Ten Thousand Years", exclusively produced by Chunqiu Times (Horgos) Film Co., Ltd., directed by Liu Zhenwei, and starring Huang Zitao, Yin Zheng, Zhao Yi, Liu Tianzuo, Du Ruoxi and others, has been officially announced this morning to premiere on September 28. "
"Since the filming was completed in December 2012, it has been produced for 5 years. It is jointly produced by Penguin Pictures and China Film, directed by Li Fangfang, and starred by Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Zhen, Wang Lihong, and Chen Chusheng. The love-themed movie "No Questions to the West and the East" was officially announced today to be released on January 12, 2018. "
As a working day, Friday should be the busiest day for major film and television and media companies.
This morning, all kinds of data summaries, film and television information, and release notices were all thrown out.
Feiyue Film and Television
After collecting the investment share contract for "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Zhang Chen took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Su, the post-production of "The Shameful Iron Fist" is almost done. When do you think it should be scheduled?"
"National Day."
Su Guohai replied slowly. This was something Chen Fei had told him before leaving China, and he never forgot it.
"September 30?"
"Well, Saturday is a holiday, and it can be connected to the National Day holiday. This time period is very suitable for a comedy movie."
"It seems that it will collide with Feng Xiaogang's "Youth." Zhang Chen murmured, and he was actually a little excited.
It would be interesting if he could suppress the film of a big director.
This behavior of using other blockbusters as a stepping stone is very generous for the box office and reputation of a movie!
At this time, Su Guohai suddenly asked curiously: "I heard that in addition to this "The Richest Man in Xihong City", you are also launching a new project?"
"Yes, that's right."
Zhang Chen smiled softly and simply told Su Guohai the story of "Li Cha's Aunt".
At the same time, Wang Changtian was chatting with Dong Chengpeng about his "Sewing Machine Band" at Guangguang Media.
This was the first cooperation between the two parties, so both sides were very enthusiastic and hoped to make this project a success.
"The Sewing Machine Band has been completed, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Wang, it has been completed." Dong Chengpeng nodded slightly in response.
"Why didn't I hear any movement from the outside world?"
Wang Changtian's face showed some doubts. The news of the completion of the movie was a good publicity notice, and it should be officially announced to the public.
"Ahem." Dong Chengpeng touched his nose awkwardly: "Mr. Wang, I haven't figured out how to deal with the outside world's comments yet. I'm really afraid of being scolded."
Because of "Jianbing Man", Dong Chengpeng's life in recent years has not been particularly good.
Although he has eaten a lot of "black traffic", these traffic are not what he wants, but what he wants to get rid of very much.
But unfortunately, as long as the movie "Jianbing Man" exists for one day, he will never be able to get rid of it!
When "Sewing Machine Band" just started, he was subjected to a lot of abuse, and finally Guangguang took action to suppress it.
Now that the movie has been completed, he must let Guangguang help again, otherwise he really dare not announce the news to the public.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he is really scared!
If he had known that the filming of "Jianbing Man" would lead to such an ending, he would never have insisted on tossing this movie.
What's even more fucked up is that even though he made so much money for the company, Zhang Chaoyang was still unwilling to help him eliminate the influence of public opinion on the Internet, and was even particularly stingy and only rewarded him 30,000 yuan at the end of the year.
This kind of heartless and "stingy" behavior really chilled him to the bone!
And because he was not optimistic about the "Sewing Machine Band" project, he was sternly rejected by Zhang Chaoyang when he went to attract investment!
When he thought that he had made so many contributions to the company, but in the end it turned out to be such an ending, he felt like being stabbed in the heart, it was so painful!
That's why he chose to find Guangguang.
Because Liu Yan was the middleman, and Wang Changtian was still optimistic about his project, so he invested in him.
At this moment, Dong Chengpeng was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, clinging to Guangguang tightly, fearing that he would be abandoned by Wang Changtian.
"How is it? The consequences of "Pancake Man" are not delicious, right?" Wang Changtian joked with him.
"Oh, I regret it so much."
"Okay, let the past be bygones. You go ahead and announce it. I will arrange for the Rays' public relations department to take action and try to suppress the negative comments for you."
"Okay! Thank you, Director Wang!"
Dong Chengpeng thanked him gratefully, turned around and left happily.
After watching him go out, Wang Changtian murmured in the office: "This kid is quite talented. He can direct, create, and be an actor. If he is well cultivated, he might be able to bring him back to life.
Haha, Zhang Chaoyang, you are such a stingy guy, you don’t even want such a good talent? Then I'll just accept it and treat it as a relatively high-risk investment, hoping it will pay off. "
…
"Hello? Director Zhou? What are you talking about! The project of "Mermaid 2" is about to be approved?"
A new day arrived. After Chen Fei got up and washed up, he was about to go downstairs to the set when he suddenly received a call from Zhou Xingchi.
"That's right, it's "Mermaid 2". The script has almost been written and will be ready to be submitted for review in a while. We are now in the stage of discussing investment."
After hearing this, Chen Fei probably understood what Zhou Xingchi meant.
It's just that Feiyue Films was involved in the project "Mermaid 1", so he thought of continuing to involve Chen Fei in "Mermaid 2".
However, facing this very obvious pitfall, how could Chen Fei jump?
He took the initiative to ask: "Director Zhou? Can I ask what the current status of the preparation progress of this project is?"
Zhou Xingchi was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he responded: "As of now, China Film and Huayi have confirmed that they will participate in the investment.
As for the choice of the male lead, it is still Deng Chao; Wu Yifan, who had a wonderful performance in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", will also join the cast..."
Hearing this, Chen Fei wanted to open his mouth several times, but in the end he silently shook his head.
He particularly reminded Zhou Xingchi that once Wu Yifan was added, the project would most likely collapse in the middle!
But after thinking about it, he couldn't find a suitable reason.
So, in the end, he could only reply with regret: "Director Zhou, forget about "Mermaid 2", I will not participate in this project."
"Is it because of Huayi and China Film?" Zhou Xingchi asked.
"Yes, but also no."
Hearing this, Zhou Xingchi already acquiesced that Chen Fei chose not to participate in this project because of Huayi and China Film.
Although it was a pity, he still chose to respect Chen Fei's decision.
"In that case, I won't disturb you if there are any follow-up arrangements. I hope we can have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future."
Zhou Xingchi couldn't give up Huayi and China Film because the "prices" offered to him by these two companies were too generous and he couldn't refuse.
Therefore, he could only say goodbye to Chen Fei.
And until they hung up the phone, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the name "Zhao Liying".
Although she showed a very surprising performance in "Mermaid 1", in the second film because there was no investment from Feiyue Film and Television, she was automatically abandoned by the crew.
Even if she comes to audition, other investors will not agree to her continuing to participate.
After all, how could such top-level resources be given to "outsiders" for free for no reason?
…
Overnight, when "Fast and Furious 8" was reported by the media with a box office of 417 million yuan on the first day, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of the entire film and television industry!
Looking around, since the end of the Spring Festival, no Chinese-language film has successfully emerged.
Now with the end of "Super 8", the entire film and television industry is in a state of chaos.
Faced with such results, those low-budget movies simply can’t stand it, and they can’t stand it!
There is no doubt that China Film Group, as the importer, has once again become the target of attack and abuse by many peers in the industry.
But by this time, La Pikang was actually immune.
Because he was scolded too much!
As the saying goes: "If there are too many lice, don't be afraid of them."
At this time, in the office of the chairman of China Film Group, La Chaikang was holding the casting list for "Shanghai Fortress" and was looking through it one by one.
After more than half an hour, he nodded with great satisfaction: "This Teng Huatao is quite efficient, and the actors he selected are very consistent with the script and the original work, and they are all quite good."
Upon hearing this, the secretary quickly came closer and said, "La Dong, will we announce it according to this list?"
"Well, that's it. There are both popular actors, first-line actors, and veteran actors. Coupled with a complete story system, I think this movie should be good."
"That's for sure!" The secretary quickly agreed: "This is a top-notch science fiction masterpiece, how could it be worse?"
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
La Sheikang raised his chin slightly.
Upon seeing this, the secretary quickly ran to the door, opened it, and exchanged a few words with the people outside.
After a while, he turned back to La Sheikang and reminded: "La Director, Director Zhou Xingchi and people from Huayi are here. They have arrived in the conference room."
"Okay, let's go there too."
La Qikang slowly stood up and went straight to the conference room.
If his guess is correct, the Mermaid 2 project can be officially confirmed after today's meeting.
At the same time, Wang Changtian was on the phone with Chen Fei.
"I heard from Zhou Xingchi that you refused to invest in Mermaid 2?"
"Yes, he called me yesterday and I rejected it."
"Why?"
Wang Changtian was full of doubts.
He received a call from Zhou Xingchi this morning.
He was originally quite interested in the Mermaid 2 project, but after hearing that Chen Fei withdrew, he finally chose to withdraw.
He didn't know why he refused this sequel with unlimited box office potential. Anyway, there was only one sentence in his mind at the time:
"Since Feiyue Film and Television doesn't get involved, there is no need for Guangguang to get involved."
It was because of this sentence that he refused it for some reason, so that he is still confused now.
Obviously, the project sounds pretty good, but why did he refuse it?
Based on this, he was puzzled and chose to call Chen Fei.
"I don't want to cooperate with Huayi and China Film, and I don't approve of Wu Yifan. I think his participation is a disadvantage for the film, so I refused."
"Is it that simple?"
Wang Changtian was getting more and more confused. Just because he didn't want to and didn't approve of it, he rejected the project?
Isn't this too emotional?
"Yes, it's that simple." Chen Fei shrugged, and couldn't help but add for a moment: "Mr. Wang, you should be glad that you also chose to withdraw. Believe me, this will be your most correct investment choice this year."
"Ah? Why?"
"Because the projects I don't like are usually difficult to succeed."
This statement was a bit too pretentious, so that Wang Changtian suddenly thought of a sentence said by Sha Ruijin in "In the Name of the People": 'If I don't want to do something, others can't do it! '
But it must be said that looking at Chen Fei's investment in recent years, it really fits his words very well.
After a moment of silence, Wang Changtian finally chose to accept it happily: "Haha, Director Chen is very confident? Then I will wait and see."
...
China Film, in the large conference room.
At this moment, except for Zhou Xingchi, Wang Zhonglei, and La Peikang, the huge conference room is already full.
The heads of many companies such as Lianrui Films, Xiangshan Zeyue controlled by Jincheng Group, Hengdian Film and Television, Fosun Group, Chinese Culture Fund, Hehe, Alibaba Pictures, Jinyi, etc. are all on the list!
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Xingchi, waiting for him to speak.
"It has been confirmed that Guangguang and Feiyue Film and Television will not participate in the investment lineup of "Mermaid 2."
Hearing this, the emotions of everyone in the conference room suddenly fluctuated violently!
La Peikang, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned slightly and sighed secretly.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Feiyue Film and Television, so that the deadlock between the two sides could be eased.
But he never expected that this opportunity would disappear in an instant!
At this time, Wang Zhonglei's eyes lit up: "Great! Since these two companies are unwilling to participate, the extra shares can just be divided."
Zhang Zhao quickly agreed: "If possible, Alibaba Pictures can take it all."
"Mr. Zhang! You have a big appetite!"
"That's right, we are not short of money at Hehe, let's continue to divide it according to proportion or contribution."
"Hengdian Film and Television can help provide a shooting location..."
Everyone talked about it, and within half an hour, the investment shares originally reserved for Guangguang and Feiyue Film and Television had been divided up.
High-quality projects are always very popular, and this is a rule that will never change.
Although China Film only received an investment proportion of 60 million, La Peikang was still very satisfied, because he was really optimistic about this project!
Wang Zhonglei, who was sitting on the other side, was already smiling at this time.
Huayi received a full 100 million yuan investment ratio in this division of investment, and also won the distribution rights...
In this way, it will be more convenient and faster to carry out some underwater operations in the future.
As soon as the meeting ended, Wang Zhonglei notified Wang Zhongjun of the news.
The two brothers happily talked on the phone about how to do the accounts in the future and how to make the profits of some other channels more "formal".
They have long been familiar with this kind of thing, and now they can even play some new tricks.
As for Zhou Xingchi, for his own interests, he will just pretend not to see it, which has been verified in the project of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
However, what the two brothers did not know at this time was that the contracted cooperation studio under Huayi had exploded again!
And this time the thunder was still "cheating thunder!"
It must be said that Zhuo's shooting skills are really awesome, and he directly took clear pictures of all the scenes of the actress and the young man playing in the swimming pool.
The woman was wearing a sexy backless swimsuit and had a lot of fun playing in the swimming pool with the man.
All kinds of hugs, kisses and close clinging scenes were clearly recorded, as if the facts had been determined.
And what’s particularly interesting is that there is a scene in the video where the woman points at the man and pokes him from time to time, giving people the atmosphere that a rich woman is teasing a young man.
The man is very "shy" and nestles in the woman's arms, acting coquettishly and taking advantage of her, with his hands very dishonest.
Fortunately, the swimming pool is open-air. If it were indoors, I’m afraid the two sides would have been stuck together like oil in a raging fire, and they would not want to separate.
At the end of the video, the two sides even entered the same room. As for what will happen next, there is no need to guess.
A single man and a single woman, in the same room, what else can they do?
Of course, do something!
