Chapter 724: Official Declaration of War! Is Word of Mouth More Important than Box Office? Then Let the Bullets Fly for Another Night!

Waking up early in the morning, Chen Fei couldn't help laughing when he saw the hot searches on Weibo.

"Didn't the bullet fly back? And it hit right between the eyebrows!"

Looking around, at this moment, the top 10 hot searches on Weibo are all about the news about the second-generation star who was "sent to prison for the second time."

"The official Weibo of Safe Capital released a message: Ten days ago, according to the report of the people in Chaoyang District, the famous actor Zhang and two musicians were caught on the spot for smoking Da Ma at home!"

"According to the interrogation, the three confessed and admitted that they had smoked it at home many times before, and they also gave out several other musicians."

"The video of the on-site arrest was exposed, and the authorities broke into the house, arrested and collected multiple tools and some residues on the spot."

"After January 31, 2010, actor Zhang was arrested again for drug problems. Since the circumstances of this case were serious and reached the level of gathering, criminal proceedings have been initiated."

"According to Zhang's report, the police arrested several people again, all of whom were underground musicians and creators. In their confessions, they said that they smoked only to seek inspiration."

"..."

As news appeared one after another, the Internet exploded again.

And what's more terrifying is that this time it was a pressure cooker that exploded!

It has only been a short time since the incident between Ning Caishen and Gao Hu, and someone else has been arrested for the same problem, and the person arrested is a guy who has committed the same crime before.

Isn't this challenging the bottom line of the law again and again?

Netizens have been completely furious in the comment area.

"Is this going astray?"

"Is this called knowing one's mistakes and being able to correct them, which is the greatest virtue?"

"A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold, but has he returned? No! He is getting more and more presumptuous!"

"What a second imprisonment! In this case, what are you waiting for if you don't ban him? Let him continue to ho-ho?"

"Alas, it's a pity for Mr. Zhang Guoli. He worked hard to pave the way for his son, but in the end he paved such a way. It's really not worth it!"

"I saw Mr. Zhang Guoli praised his son a few days ago, saying that he was going to enter the music industry. It turns out that he went to hang out with people in the music industry?"

To be honest, Chen Fei himself was also quite emotional when watching the news.

Zhang Guoli is really a good person. In addition to his acting skills, his butt is not as crooked as that "emperor", and he also fought for a second-class merit.

Unfortunately, his son is not easy to worry about. He has made mistakes again and again, and this time he has played himself to death!

Of course, he sighs and sighs, but when it comes to action, Chen Fei will not hesitate at all.

He directly called Su Guohai and arranged: "Send the notice to show our attitude and don't let rumors run wild."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Su Guohai responded and arranged it immediately.

As the incident fermented, netizens were furious and furious, but the film and television industry was terribly silent!

Many companies and associations withdrew the press releases issued yesterday, and their faces were flushed, as if they had been slapped in the face.

Yesterday, everyone refuted Chen Fei's "ban" remarks at the meeting, and even extended the classics, shouting out "No one is perfect, no one is without fault", "Admitting mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue".

But now, the son of a big boss in the Beijing circle has been arrested again after playing the "prodigal son returns to his home" operation.

And he didn't bite his tongue tightly, not only tolerating others, but also confessed to harboring them many times.

Isn't this just asking for death?

However, just when many people began to think about what to do next, a notice released by Feiyue Film and Television’s official blog directly added fuel to the fire:

“Under the starry sky, there should be no dark clouds covering the sun, the art hall should not be stained, and bad artists are like ink spots on a painting!

In the bright galaxy of the entertainment industry, every star should shine with its own light, rather than being set off by the darkness of others! On this stage full of dreams and opportunities, what we need is not only exquisite skills, but also purity of mind!

The entertainment industry is not a place outside the law, and the red line of morality cannot be touched. Banning bad artists is a warning to all dreamers and also a warning to all dreamers. Respect for industry rules.

Under the spotlight, every action and every word is infinitely magnified. Banning bad artists is a reminder to us: as public figures, we should be more cautious in what we say and do and set an example! ”

“After careful consideration, Feiyue Film and Television, together with Pan Asia Cinema, Youku Platform, Dianjing Digital, Youyaoqi Comics, etc., officially announced:

From now on, all film and television works, variety shows, etc. produced or co-produced by our company will refuse to use any bad artists involved in gangs, pornography, drugs, gambling, etc., and voluntarily accept public supervision. Once discovered, we will never tolerate it! ”

As this notice appeared, Chen Fei loaded it at the first time.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yifei, who was busy promoting "Frozen", also supported it.

“From now on, I will no longer cooperate with any bad artists...”

Following closely, all artists under Feiyinghuang Brokerage Company, including contracted directors, producers, screenwriters, etc., all made similar remarks.

Not long after, several companies including Guangguang, Wanda, Starlight, Golden Harvest, and Yinghuang all made similar statements.

Ren Zhonglun specifically called Chen Fei and explained to him carefully that Shanghai Film Group was a state-owned enterprise after all, and he could not make such a clear stand without the order from above.

Although he didn't say anything, he promised to put it into practice and never use bad artists again.

Chen Fei expressed his understanding of this, saying that it would not affect his long-term relationship with Shanghai Film Group.

On the other hand, other companies in the industry are now in a dilemma.

Although Chen Fei had expressed his intention to ban bad artists at the conference, it was just an expression and there is room for change.

But now, Feiyue Films has actually issued an official statement.

Not only that, they also implicated Pan Asia and Wanda, two theater companies that occupy at least 60% of the market share in China.

There is even Youku, the largest online platform in China.

The big moves are undoubtedly a death sentence for those bad artists.

Without theaters and platforms, how many opportunities are left for them?

Some people also think that if it doesn't work out, they will go abroad, but it's not that easy outside, and Chen Fei's influence is not only in China.

If they go abroad, they will even be unable to move!

Many management companies are very dissatisfied, thinking that Chen Fei is killing all without mercy.

But he doesn't say anything, so what?

Openly oppose?

In this situation, who dares to openly oppose? Netizens' scolding can kill the opponents!

Even those water armies dare not publish press releases and posts, for fear of being found through the Internet.

At this moment, public opinion has completely stood on the positive side!

All major portals, Weibo and other places are shouting:

"As a public figure, the behavior of bad artists not only affects their own image, but also has a negative impact on young fans. Banning is a necessary measure, and I firmly support it!"

"In the colorful world of the entertainment industry, what we need is positive role models and healthy values!"

"The existence of bad artists is like a rat shit that spoils the whole pot of soup."

...

Huayi, in the chairman's office.

Seeing that the public opinion on the Internet was completely out of control, Wang Zhongjun was furious: "What on earth is going on with Zhang Guoli? Can't he even manage his son?"

"Alas." Wang Zhonglei sighed: "It's over, it's all over, his son has been lying to him."

"At this cusp, not abiding by the rules and doing whatever he wants is simply courting death!"

Wang Zhongjun felt like he was disappointed with his son.

It was already difficult to stop the public opinion, and now suddenly there is such a thing, the public opinion is like a torrent of water, which is simply unstoppable!

The most important thing is that this will affect the stock price!

Zhang Guoli is one of the major shareholders of Huayi. Now that his son has such a thing, the stock price has also been affected.

If this is not handled properly, it is very likely to ruin the fierce momentum that Huayi has accumulated with great difficulty!

Zhang Guoli's apology came quickly. The news was exposed in the morning, and he went to hold a press conference in the afternoon.

But this time, he did not pray for his son to return to the film and television industry, but only hoped to be forgiven and apologized for his poor parenting.

In the photos taken by the media at the scene, as an old father, he had gray hair, hunched over, and did not get up for a long time.

Everyone in the circle could see that Lao Zhang had completely lost hope for this son.

After repeated admonitions, what else can he do except give up?

To put it bluntly, this dog can no longer change its habit of eating shit.

But even so, he still failed to get forgiveness from the majority of netizens.

If apologies are useful, what is the use of the law?

If nothing unexpected happens, at least half a year in prison is inevitable.

And even if he gets out, don't think about continuing to appear in the public eye in the future.

...

The next day, at the invitation of Wang Changtian, Chen Fei attended the director signing ceremony between Guangguang and Deng Chao.

You know, the production cost of "Breakup Master" was only 40 million, but its box office reached more than 600 million, which clearly means that the movie was a great success.

After finally catching a director, Lao Wang naturally would not let him go, so he reached an investment plan with him.

And today, it was a notice to the public after the two parties officially signed the contract.

"Director Chen, welcome to your presence."

As soon as he entered the venue, before Chen Fei had time to observe the guests on the scene, Liu Yan led a young girl over and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Is Director Wang here?"

Chen Fei asked casually, his eyes lingering on the girl behind Liu Yan for a moment.

"She's already here, and she's being interviewed over there." While speaking, Liu Yan specially introduced: "This is our newly signed artist from Guangguang, her name is Chen Duling."

"The heroine of "Left Ear"?"

This time Liu Yan did not speak, but Chen Duling personally responded: "Yes, hello Director Chen, just call me Xiaoling."

"Yeah."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered the report that he saw when he was watching the news a few days ago that "Left Ear" announced the start of filming.

I have to say that the audition of this movie is going really fast.

On the other hand, the situation of Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid" is much more complicated.

I don't know if it's because of the line "We all owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket", but Stephen Chow doesn't even care about his face in order to gain popularity and make money.

It was obviously an audition for the heroine of a movie, but in his hands, it was turned into a large-scale talent show.

Starting from the audition of 120,000 people, all kinds of registration fees, sponsorships, advertisements, etc., without exception, were all used over and over again by him.

Now, when there are only about 300 "contestants" left, he has contacted Mango TV and started a live audition!

Although the money and popularity are rolling into his pocket, his reputation will probably be ruined in the future.

However, Zhou Xingchi obviously doesn't care about this, or in the face of interests, he can give up anything.

Chen Fei couldn't think of how to evaluate him for a while. For some reason, he seems to have an unusual obsession with money.

"Hello, Director Chen, we meet again."

The voice that suddenly came from his ear interrupted Chen Fei's thinking.

He looked sideways and saw a guy wearing glasses and smiling on his face greeting him happily.

On the side, Liu Yan was smiling awkwardly, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.

Her friend's thick skin was already recognized in the circle, and even if she wanted to stop him, she couldn't stop him at all.

"What's the matter?"

Looking at Dong Chengpeng in front of him, Chen Fei frowned slightly.

This guy is really like a dog skin plaster, once it sticks to him, it can't be torn off.

Last time, I made it clear that I was not interested in the so-called "Pancake Man", but this guy just wouldn't give up!

However, this time, Dong Chengpeng probably knew that he couldn't invite a big guy like Chen Fei, so he simply retreated and started to hit the artists under Feiyinghuang Agency.

"Director Chen, it's the same thing I mentioned to you last time. I don't expect you, a busy man, to come to guest star. See if other artists in your agency are free. It's okay to show up. Just think of it as supporting us new directors..."

"Dapeng! What are you doing!" Liu Yan was a little anxious.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry, my friend offended me." After apologizing to Chen Fei, Liu Yan pulled Dong Chengpeng to leave.

It would be fine if he just said hello, but he actually mentioned this matter again. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for others?

Who is he, and who are you?

Even Zhang Chaoyang might not be taken seriously, let alone you, a small director under Sohu.

However, Dong Chengpeng obviously didn't want to give up. Even though he was dragged by Liu Yan, his eyes were still staring at Chen Fei, his face full of smirk, and his thick skin seemed to be able to withstand artillery shells.

Chen Fei really didn't want to be bothered by him anymore, so he said bluntly: "Since you are Liu Yan's friend, I can warn you.

As a director, the first movie you create is actually very important. If the reputation of the first movie is bad, it will be very difficult to reverse the situation in the future!

I have heard that your "Pancake Man" is nothing more than a continuation of the style of "Diaosi Man", but if your first movie is only at this level, even if it does get a high box office, it will inevitably form a fixed image in the future, and it will be difficult to change it.

Remember one thing, the reputation of the first movie is much more important than the box office, you... take care of yourself."

Hearing Chen Fei's words, Dong Chengpeng's face changed slightly, and he suddenly became a little embarrassed.

He was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but just when he was about to speak out a few words to refute, Chen Fei had already turned and walked towards Wang Changtian, and had no intention of continuing to talk to him.

"Dapeng! You are going to kill me!"

Liu Yan was a little annoyed. She could see that Chen Fei was really annoyed.

His friend's EQ is too low. This is not the way to find someone for a guest appearance!

If Chen Fei had been angry just now, whether "The Pancake Man" could be released or not would still be another matter.

And those stars who have agreed to guest appearance, if they knew that Dong Chengpeng had offended Chen Fei, whether they would dare to participate in the guest appearance is another matter.

"Humph, I don't believe it. Isn't being a director just to pursue high box office? What's the reputation or not, can the box office be important?"

Dong Chengpeng muttered unconvinced, turned around and coaxed Liu Yan for a few words, and then began to look for the next target.

Soon, Yang Mi's figure broke into his sight.

...

After attending the director signing ceremony of Guangguang, Chen Fei returned to the company and began to draw the storyboard of the new script.

In addition, he is still paying close attention to the movements in the film and television industry.

The news of Zhang Guoli's apology is still on the top of the hot search list, but looking around, no one below expressed forgiveness or understanding.

Now everyone is waiting for an official response. Will it be a complete ban or continue to perfunctory?

La Beikang suddenly called.

After Chen Fei answered the call, the first sentence on the other side was: "There is a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Listen to the good news first."

La Beikang did not hesitate and said directly: "The General Administration held an internal meeting this afternoon. Director Tong strongly supports your proposal."

"Oh? Really?" Chen Fei's eyes lit up and asked again: "What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that many No. 1 and No. 2 of the film and television industry associations, as well as some old predecessors, are against your proposal of "complete ban". Therefore, if this matter wants to be implemented, there will still be a lot of resistance."

Chen Fei can understand this.

Many times, it is not about who makes sense, but who has a louder voice!

Even in most cases, even the wrong voice can drown out the right voice.

"So, there is still a lack of sufficient thrust, right?"

"Yes, there are still too few voices of support." La Peikang's voice was a little angry: "This group of old stubborn people always want to smooth things over!"

Chen Fei laughed: "In the final analysis, this is to ensure their interests."

While speaking, his eyes fell on the computer screen.

"August 13, one day left? Then let the bullets... fly for another night!"
