Chapter 806 Hidden Rules? Huayi Collapsed While Poaching People! It Collapsed Completely!

Chapter 806 Hidden rules? Huayi is poaching people... It collapsed! It collapsed completely!

One hundred and twenty-three minutes later, the screening of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" was officially declared over.

As the subtitles appeared, thunderous applause suddenly rang out in the venue, and there were also flattery and fawning sounds one after another.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Director Chen stepped onto the stage proudly like an emperor inspecting his subjects.

Ning Hao touched Lu Yang's arm and asked, "You've finished watching the movie, are you confident now?"

"Uh..." Lu Yang pondered for a moment and responded in a low voice, "To be disrespectful, I personally feel that this Palme d'Or director is just so-so."

"Puff!"

Guo Fan couldn't help laughing out loud. Although he covered his mouth in time, he still attracted the attention of many people around him.

Thanks to the reporters who had already started interviewing in front of the stage, most people's attention was in front, otherwise it would probably steal the show.

"Director Guo, do you have the same idea as me?" Lu Yang raised his eyebrows with a sly smile.

Guo Fan thought for a moment and commented: "Brother Chen Kai is indeed a little out of touch with reality when it comes to making commercial films. I always feel that the story starts to float up to the sky at the end of the movie."

Lu Yang folded his arms in front of his chest, "I didn't have confidence before, but now, I am very confident!"

On the stage, most of the reporters' interviews revolved around the movie itself, the actors' acting skills and the highlights of the movie.

And no one mentioned the scenes and scenes of the Dragon Prince!

It is obvious that the media and reporters who came to interview today were arranged in advance, and taboo topics would never appear.

Su Guohai murmured: "Sure enough, it's not surprising to Director Chen after all. This movie... is not simple!"

However, at this moment, a slightly abrupt question suddenly sounded: "Director Chen, we noticed that Director Lu Yang also came to the premiere of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" today.

It is reported that "Sicario" will compete directly with "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" at the box office. Which of these two movies do you think will have a higher box office?"

As the reporter asked this question, suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the positions of Lu Yang, Ning Hao, Guo Fan, and Su Guohai.

At this moment, many CEOs of film and television production companies at the scene had complicated eyes.

Looking at the whole audience, where are the domestic box office record holders sitting?

Guo Fan is currently the first member of the 3 billion+ box office club in China, while Ning Hao is a member of the 2 billion+ box office club. Although Lu Yang is slightly worse, he is also a member of the 800 million+ box office club.

Any one of these three people standing out is a well-known figure in the film industry!

But the current situation is that these three people are all contracted directors of Feiyue Film and Television, which is a bit scary!

It is already very good for an ordinary film and television company to have one director, but Feiyue Film and Television actually has three, and this is not all.

Just thinking about it makes people drool with envy!

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "Sicario" are two completely different themes. Although the release dates are very close, the audience fans are not the same, so there are not many competitive conditions at all.

If you have to compare, I expect the box office of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" to be 1 billion+, but I don’t know how much Xiao Lu expects?"

Brother Chen Kai is proud of his noble status. When facing the questions of reporters, his answers are also full of pride.

In his opinion, Lu Yang is just a junior of his, and the two are not comparable at all.

Although he has not seen the finished film of "Sicario", he is very confident in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and believes that he can definitely win the No. 1 in the summer vacation!

At this time, following his questions, the eyes of the reporters on the scene all looked at Lu Yang.

A staff member handed him the microphone.

Taking the microphone, Lu Yang smiled modestly: "I am still a newcomer in the field of film directing. I don't have the ability to analyze the box office as accurately as our CEO Chen.

So, I will not directly answer the question of how much box office "Sicario" will have. I just hope that it will be as much as possible. I dare to look forward to the top three box office rankings of this summer vacation..."

Lu Yang's voice echoed in the venue, causing many people's faces to change slightly.

The top three in the box office rankings?

This goal is also not low!

In the crowd, Wang Zhonglei's eyes were a little gloomy.

With the recent rise in the company's stock price, Huayi has been carrying out drastic reforms recently, and urgently needs many capable employees as the backbone.

He has cleared out many good-for-nothings in the company, and is also eager to recruit a new batch of high-quality talents.

As a well-known film and television production company in the industry, Feiyue Film and Television's middle-level backbone force is recognized to be large in number, strong in ability, and high in work efficiency.

Because he had recently sent a lot of headhunters there.

Including Su Guohai, Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Guo Fan and others, they were also within the headhunters' target range.

Huayi offered a very high price. In addition to basic salary and movie box office dividends, there were even equity incentives!

However, just when Wang Zhonglei thought that he would definitely be able to find a lot of high-quality talents on this trip, reality gave him a heavy blow!

After working hard for more than half a month, Huayi only found less than ten people.

As for the truly top screenwriting talents, directors, photographers, producers, etc., they simply ignored the "excellent" conditions he offered.

This also made him very angry.

Now listening to Lu Yang's speech, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Everyone seems to be stupid. They don't give up on the bright future, but take the initiative to endure hardships. I'm really convinced!"

As Lu Yang's speech ended, the reporters quickly drew their attention away from him.

With so many people here, almost no one thinks that "Sicario" can crush Chen Kaige's martial arts movie at the box office.

After all, the leading actors in the former have no box office appeal at all, while in the latter, they are among the best actors in the industry.

Even the supporting characters all have extremely high popularity and box office appeal!

Afterwards, many directors and guests were named by reporters and stood up to give speeches.

Not long after, the premiere of "The Taoist Descends from the Mountain" officially ended. Under the leadership of the on-site staff, everyone went to attend a very high-standard dinner.

Brother Chen Kai is a face-saving person, and he has always been very good at showing off.

…

As the dinner part of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" ends, the domestic time has come to a hazy night.

At this time, it was just dawning in Los Angeles on the other side of the world.

Chen Fei received a call from Su Guohai on the way to the set.

After listening to several people on the phone describing the details of the premiere of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"So, he didn't delete the scene about the Dragon Prince after all!"

"Yes, it was not deleted. The reporters at the scene probably received the news before they came and did not mention it at all. Even the guests at the scene acted as if they had not seen it."

Hearing this, Chen Fei's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

If nothing else goes wrong, after this movie is released, the General Administration will probably be criticized by netizens as "autistic."

It has only been 9 months since the red-headed document came out, and someone has already touched the taboo, and it has successfully passed the review...

Netizens don't care about partisanship. In their view, since this movie can pass the review, it must have been personally authorized and tacitly approved by the General Administration.

Various operations that are changed day and night will inevitably lead to a wave of controversy and abuse!

Lu Yang's voice suddenly rang from the phone: "Mr. Chen, I think this is a good thing for us. He broke the ban, but we didn't.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people will definitely express their dissatisfaction with the behavior of openly enjoying preferential treatment.

And the theme of our "Sicario" is quite special, so it will definitely attract a lot of fans from there. "

Chen Fei very much agreed with this analysis: "Yes, what you said makes sense. There are still a few days to come. If we increase the promotion of the movie, we may gain some good results."

"Okay, don't worry, I won't let you down."

Lu Yang swore that after watching the finished film of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" and all the sexy tricks, he now has full confidence in "Sicario"!

The phone call soon returned to Su Guohai. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he mentioned another thing:

"By the way, Mr. Chen, there is another interesting thing that I need to tell you."

"Oh? What?"

"Tang Ren is preparing to restart the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" project. In the past few days, we are discussing business with the special effects company."

"Legend of Sword and Fairy"?

On the other end of the phone, hearing the name of this number, Chen Fei couldn't help but be slightly startled, and subconsciously muttered: "Are you planning to rest on your laurels and regain your momentum?"

"It should be so." Su Guohai continued to add: "I feel like changing the soup without changing the medicine. This time the drama is adapted from the stand-alone game "Legend of Sword and Fairy 5". It seems to be called "Yun Zhifan" ”

After hearing this, Chen Fei lost interest.

The first brother and the first sister of Tang Dynasty have both left. Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, etc. who have worked together before are all having conflicts. It is impossible to gather the original cast members.

And if a newcomer is used, the audience will definitely not buy it.

Based on this, this drama probably won’t make much of a splash.

"Since we're here to discuss business, let's just keep it business-like and pay as much as we need. There's no need to give them discounts for small projects like this."

"Okay, I understand. I'll say hello to the special effects department later."

…

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei adjusted the back of his chair and browsed domestic film, television and entertainment news websites.

Looking around, the news that remains on the headlines is the news about "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".

It has to be said that the media is quite tight-lipped. There is really no news about Prince Long's "comeback" on the Internet, and I don't know how much the film crew has planned to get out.

In addition, the most popular thing second only to the premiere of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was the report that director Wang Da was "released after serving his sentence."

Some paparazzi took photos of Ms. Zhang picking someone up and then the couple having dinner together.

Judging from the photos, the two seem to get along very well. They are both smiling and talking about something.

A large number of netizens shouted in the comment area below, hoping that they could get back together and continue to live as a couple.

Chen Fei curled his lips and muttered to himself: "The idea is quite beautiful."

He knew a little bit about Miss Zhang, whose temper was notoriously explosive in the industry. It was surprising that she could endure her husband's cheating!

Perhaps considering the current impact, the couple will keep a low profile for a while, but they will definitely not continue in the future!

Not long after, the car arrived outside the studio of Walton Pictures.

Although it was still early, the studio was already bustling with activity, and many logistics staff were busy adjusting equipment and preparing for today's shooting.

The actors have also arrived and are doing makeup work with the help of makeup artists.

Today is the last day of June, and it is also the last day of filming in Los Angeles for "Ready Player One."

After the scene is over, starting tomorrow, the crew will transfer to the UK.

The time soon came to 8 o'clock, and with Chen Fei's "Action", the filming officially began!

…

At the same time, in China, in a relatively remote private restaurant, brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun were entertaining Ye Ning, who is currently the vice president of Wanda Pictures.

After briefly chatting about the movie "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li", Wang Zhongjun changed the topic while pouring wine:

"Mr. Ye, after this period of cooperation and understanding, I think you should be familiar with Huayi's situation, right?

Although our business spans production, distribution, theaters, cultural tourism, games, real estate, finance and other fields, and is very large, the number of senior managers is relatively small, which is detrimental to the long-term development of the group. It is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

Here, I can promise you that as long as you are willing to join the big family of Huayi, generous benefits and broad development space are the most basic!

You can even choose the positions of group shares, board shareholders, group vice president, and president, or even take them all as ordered. This is the greatest sincerity we can give you! "

"That's right! As long as you are willing to come, you can make any conditions..."

Wang Zhonglei also spoke slowly at this time, further elaborating on Huayi's sincerity and determination, and expressed its attitude of "thirsty for talents."

"Huayi's market value has now reached 90 billion, and the distance to 100 billion is just around the corner. We now very much hope to work with you to look forward to new goals!"

The two brothers talked with each other, slowly and skillfully, and offered many high-quality conditions, just waiting for Ye Ning's heart to fall in love!

Looking at the transparent and colorless wine in the wine glass, Ye Ning couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He is a senior executive who has worked for Wanda for more than ten years and has profound insights into the changes in the film and television industry.

However, facing the warm invitations from Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, he seemed a little hesitant.

He knows that joining Huayi means having a higher status and greater power, but it also means taking on greater responsibilities and greater risks.

He needs time to weigh the pros and cons and even think about his future.

There was a brief silence in the box.

Ye Ning frowned, while Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were waiting for his answer quietly, their eyes full of expectation and desire.

However, after a long time, the answer they got was still: "Sorry, you two, I still need more time to think. This decision is related to the rest of my life. I really can't give it in such a short period of time." Your answer is in the affirmative.”

Hearing this, the two Wang brothers looked at each other, slightly disappointed.

However, the two of them were not discouraged, because as long as Ye Ning did not explicitly refuse, it meant that there was still hope for everything.

Wang Zhongjun raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, Mr. Ye can think slowly, you just need to remember that Huayi's door will always be open to you.

Come on, let’s drink and eat first. Brother Chen Kai’s premiere dinner was really a show-off, and we weren’t even full. "

"Well, come on, drink!"

Ye Ning also raised his wine glass and greeted the two kings from afar.

After drinking and eating, the two Wang brothers enthusiastically put Ye Ning in the car, and then they took the car together to the surrounding area of ​​the capital.

In the car, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but frowned: "I've given him more than a month, why haven't he thought about it yet? Is he planning to trick us?"

"No." Wang Zhongjun shook his head, showing a confident look: "He has reached the end of his career at Wanda, and it is impossible for that boss Wang to offer him more or better conditions.

Therefore, he can only realize his ambition by choosing Huayi. We are his only choice. Just wait, don't worry. "

"Okay." Wang Zhonglei's brows relaxed a little, and he couldn't help but murmured: "It's easier for him to talk here, but those people at Feiyue Film and Television are completely incompetent!"

Wang Zhongjun was a little surprised: "The conditions are so good, but no one has come yet?"

"Well, I don't know what those people think, and I heard that a group of people from Feiyue Film and Television have returned from training in Hollywood. The competition within the company is huge, but they just won't move, damn it!"

"Then continue to increase the conditions. People will die for money and birds will die for food. I don't believe that everyone is so determined."

"Well, now it seems that this is the only way to do it."

…

In the blink of an eye, a day flies by!

On the set of the movie "Ready Player One", as Chen Fei shouted "Cut", cheers suddenly filled the scene.

Next, as the crew transitions, everyone will have a two-day holiday, which is undoubtedly very good news.

After checking all the materials taken today, Chen Fei packed up his personal belongings and prepared to go back to the villa to spend the last night of June with Liu Yifei.

Tomorrow he will go to the UK, and Liu Yifei will return to China. It will probably be several days before the two meet again.

After starting the car, Chen Fei got into the driver's seat and prepared to leave the studio.

However, before he could get very far, the phone suddenly rang!

After taking a look at the name "Zhou Shouzi" marked on the caller ID, Chen Fei stepped on the brakes and pressed the connect button.

The next second, Zhou Shouzi's slightly surprised voice rang on the phone: "Director Chen, the A-share market has suddenly collapsed across the board!"
