Chapter 644: Partying in a Minefield? Holding His Daughter Hostage to Force the Boss of a Listed Company! Huang Xiaoming's Special Request
"Oh? You're planning to do this to me?"
When Chen Fei received a call from Huo Wenxi, he suddenly had a deeper understanding of the "profit-seeking" nature of the two Wang brothers.
Although he had expected it, he was still a little surprised when he heard that Huayi used the "selection of people" and "selection of programs" of the Spring Festival Gala as bargaining chips and frantically exchanged them for benefits in the entire entertainment industry.
This is too blatant!
It is true that the Spring Festival Gala is indeed the top publicity platform in China, but this is a happy time for Chinese people across the country and even the world. How dare they do something tricky here?
According to Huo Wenxi, Wang Zhonglei made it clear at a private party that all colleagues or artists in the industry are welcome to recommend themselves to Feng Xiaogang.
The price is various exchanges of interests.
The most typical example is "Coming Home" invested by LeTV and directed by Zhang Yimou. Several artists from the Huayi faction were stuffed into the crew, and the price was that LeTV's contracted artists could get the opportunity to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.
The two brothers of the Wang family have completely awakened their "greed" attributes. After communicating with a number of domestic directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, they set their sights on Chen Fei.
Artists of Feiyinghuang Agency can also get the opportunity to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, but the price is that the projects invested by Feiyue Film and Television in the later stage must leave heavyweight roles and scenes for artists of the Huayi faction.
For example, the "Detective Chinatown" that has been prepared recently.
Wang Zhonglei asked for the two roles of "Qin Feng" and "Huang Landeng"!
Without much consideration, Chen Fei directly rejected his request.
The Spring Festival Gala is certainly a good publicity channel, and it is also an excellent place to enhance the status and influence of actors, but Wang Zhonglei's appetite is really too big!
For the movie "Detective Chinatown", Chen Fei's goal and expectation is to promote the artists of his own company.
He is not interested in making wedding clothes for others.
This is destined not to be a fair deal!
The most important thing is that he doesn't think these two brothers can control the program list of the Spring Festival Gala. If they really reach a deal, they will arrange a chorus or group crosstalk, wouldn't that be a loss?
You don't have to guess that if there is a suitable program, Huayi will definitely give priority to its own artists.
"Don't pay attention to them." Chen Fei curled his lips, very disdainful: "I will support my own people, I don't need their channels, the weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken, it's obvious that they have no good intentions..."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand."
On the other end of the phone, Huo Wenxi was very calm.
To be honest, she didn't really want the Spring Festival Gala that much. There are so many projects in her company. As long as they can be a big hit after they go online, their influence will not necessarily be inferior to the Spring Festival Gala.
What's more, not everyone can become Xiao Shen Yang.
After ending the call with Chen Fei, she directly sent the list of actors needed for "Detective Chinatown" to the company's internal agent group.
When a new project appears, it must be selected from within the company first.
Only when no suitable candidates can be found will the audition be held publicly.
…
The news that "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Kingdom of the Moon" held a celebration banquet for "Box Office Breaking 250 Million" quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry.
When the media reported the relevant news, the crew immediately became the target of crazy abuse from netizens!
"Fuck, it's so bad, and you still have the nerve to hold a celebration banquet? Are you going to die!"
"Fuck! Are you going to open champagne at halftime?"
"Boycott! Strongly boycott bad movies! And delete my comments? I think you are tired of living!"
"Friends! Go on, show them how powerful we are!"
"I am really convinced. This is the first time I have watched such a bad movie, and I was fooled by the producer. Damn it! It's really damn bad!"
The most criticized people on the Internet are the director and screenwriter of the movie, followed by Bona Film Group, which is responsible for publicity and distribution. Even the actors have suffered a wave of ridicule and slaps in the face.
What really angered netizens and fans was that the content of the movie was seriously inconsistent with the publicity, and they even manipulated the comments and deliberately tricked people into going to the theater.
This is intolerable!
"Fuchun Mountain Residence" is indeed bad, but at least they didn't do this kind of "deceiving" business. Even in the later promotion, they used the slogan "Welcome to watch the first worst production in history", which can be regarded as the film company personally playing the meme and making fun of themselves.
Although the fans are also scolding, there are also many people who are playing the meme.
But "Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is different.
It's okay that the movie is bad, but the film company actually refused to admit it, deleting bad reviews, brushing good reviews, and holding a celebration banquet...
Isn't this just dancing in a minefield?
...
"Exploded! Exploded!"
The sudden call from the public relations manager made Chen Fei's eyes light up.
Without any hesitation, he turned on the computer and logged into the film and television consultation website.
Looking around, the front page of the webpage has a huge headline!
"Fan Bingbing publicly apologizes to the fans!"
Moving the mouse, Chen Fei clicked directly in and looked at the relevant content with great interest.
To be honest, among all the old big stars, Fan Bingbing is a rare female star who can carry the box office alone.
Even if it is an art film, as long as she is the leading actor, it is rare to lose money or have a plummeting reputation.
For example, the movie "One Night Surprise", which was invested only 35 million yuan, successfully closed at the box office of 189 million yuan after a month of release.
No matter how you look at it, this movie is profitable, and the reputation is very good!
With such an excellent box office performance, a celebration banquet is naturally indispensable.
However, due to the recent controversy about "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", the media naturally mentioned this movie during the interview.
What the media and reporters on the scene did not expect was that when mentioning this movie that was being abused by the whole network, Fan Bingbing did not choose to escape, but sincerely apologized to the fans.
"I should repent for the role I played. The movie's reputation plummeted, and fans were dissatisfied... This is inseparable from me.
Here, I make a promise to everyone that I will be more cautious and careful when choosing roles in the future, and will not take roles rashly.
I can promise everyone that I will definitely not attend the celebration banquet of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", and in the next few months, I will not take on new dramas. I plan to settle down for a few more months and work hard to improve my acting skills, so as not to disappoint all those who like me..."
Like Liu Dehua, Fan Bingbing also chose to suspend his acting career after apologizing to reduce the heat about his role in a bad movie.
She is not worried that this decision will affect her subsequent work plans and endorsement arrangements.
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" gave her great confidence!
The temporary criticism will not affect anything. As long as there are enough high-quality projects and performances in the future, she can successfully break free from the current criticism.
The Internet has no memory.
A few months later, the popularity of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Kingdom of the Moon" had already dropped, and the impact on her would inevitably be infinitely reduced.
Why not?
At the same time, with Fan Bingbing's public apology, Huang Xiaoming, one of the leading actors, also stood up and expressed his regret for the fans' expectations.
"Mad 2" was withdrawn, "A Romantic Affair" was ruthlessly abandoned by the theaters, and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" was abused by the entire network...
Huang Xiaoming was awarded the title of "the most unlucky actor in the summer vacation"!
However, perhaps because of the influence of his personality charm, fans only mocked him for his greasy and rubbish acting skills, and did not abuse him too much.
After he announced that he had completely parted ways with "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", fans quickly shifted their attention from him to Zhen Zixuan.
Both the leading actors apologized, but Zhen Zixuan was the only one who was still promoting how good the movie was on his personal Weibo.
As expected, he was directly subjected to a wave of fierce abuse and ridicule!
What is very embarrassing is that, unlike Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming who are free agents, he is now almost tied to Huaxia Star.
Those two could run away at the last minute, but he couldn't do that, so he could only choose to resist.
For a while, several pots were put on his head, and he was almost suffocated by the pressure!
However, within two days, a hot news appeared and Zhen Zixuan became the object of being easily abandoned by the media.
Instead, it was Yu Dong, the boss of Bona Film Group, the investor of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch"!
According to paparazzi, the 38-year-old Peacock Princess actually gave birth to a daughter for Yu Dong.
You know, the two have not married yet, and the Peacock Princess has always been rumored to be a mistress.
For a while, a hot discussion broke out in the circle!
What is particularly interesting is that the woman has hinted many times that the child's biological father is Yu Dong.
But the man was very low-key, seemingly unwilling to admit that he was going to be a father, and trying to suppress the heat of this matter.
However, in this era of booming Internet, how could such a secret that has been made public be suppressed so easily?
A large number of netizens who like to watch the fun have already gathered around, vying to express their opinions on this incident.
"Oh? Mr. Yu is going to be a father? Haha, congratulations, he successfully dumped his wife, and the mistress gave birth to a daughter, isn't this a double happiness?"
"I suggest you do a paternity test, the woman is a professional 'pimp', don't drag yourself into it."
"No? She's having a baby already? Didn't the Peacock Princess publicly seek a marriage partner online last year? According to the time, the one seeking a marriage partner has been pregnant for a month, right?"
"Haha, I wanted to find a buyer, but I didn't find one."
"Tsk tsk, your circle is really messy, is this holding your daughter hostage to control the boss of a listed company?"
...
There are mostly mocking voices on the Internet, and although there are many people in the circle discussing it, no one has publicly expressed their opinions.
After all, if the Peacock Princess can succeed in getting the position, she will be the first lady of Bona, and her status will naturally rise.
But if she fails to succeed in getting the position, then this child will fall into her own hands.
"Do you think this girl is Yu Dong's?"
In the office, Huang Xiaoming, who was visiting, also started gossiping.
"I think it must be!" Chen Fei was very sure: "Since she dared to expose it, she must have made all the preparations. If this child is not Yu Dong's, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?"
"That's true."
Huang Xiaoming nodded, and suddenly felt a little emotional: "It's a pity for Yuan Li. The peaches she planted were picked by others."
Speaking of Yuan Li, Chen Fei suddenly thought of the video of her kissing Yu Dong at the Cannes Film Festival.
This person's means are not low. Yu Fatty's original wife was killed by this person.
"It's really a pity. After working so hard for so long, someone else picked it up."
As he said, Chen Fei's eyes swept over Huang Xiaoming without leaving any traces.
If he remembered correctly, Yang Ying seemed to have gotten the position in the same way.
To sum up, men of all ages do like young and beautiful people.
The most typical example is Leonardo. Those over 25 years old are eliminated!
……
After chatting for a while, Huang Xiaoming talked about this and that, and finally talked about the purpose of coming to Feiyue Film and Television today.
"I heard that you have launched a new project?"
"Yes, "Detective Chinatown", a comedy."
"Is there a role suitable for me? Can you give me an audition?"
"Ah?!"
After staring at Huang Xiaoming for a long time, Chen Fei asked in disbelief: "Are you serious about what you said?"
"Of course, seriously, very seriously!"
Huang Xiaoming sighed with a wry smile: "In just three months, I have lost money on three movies in a row. I am doubting my own vision."
"Well... it's really unlucky."
Chen Fei felt sorry for him. The title of "the most unlucky actor in the summer vacation" seemed to be tailor-made for him.
"I want to seek transformation, experience different roles, strive to break the current acting barriers, and challenge my own limits..."
Listening to Huang Xiaoming's words, a role suddenly emerged in Chen Fei's mind.
He asked tentatively: "A role that is greasy, a bit mean, and not the leading male role, can you accept it?"
"Is it challenging?"
As an excellent actor, he must be versatile. Huang Xiaoming does not want to lock his image into a certain framework.
For example, "domineering president", he actually does not like this word very much, but the character image has been framed there, and he has no power to change it.
This is also the reason why he chose to find Chen Fei.
Break free from the framework, challenge himself, and don't have to worry about the script being bad, which allows him to give full play to his potential...
If he hadn't already established a studio, he would even want to sign with Feiyinghuang Agency and work hard for a few years.
"Yes! Very challenging! It is definitely a field you have never been involved in!"
"Okay, then I'll take it!" Huang Xiaoming was full of confidence: "This time, I have to let everyone know that in addition to the 'domineering president', I can also play more subversive roles!"
The comedy field is something he has never been involved in, so for him, this is also a special challenge.
