Chapter 871 Why Was He Banned? Did He Violate the Law?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I went shopping and playing.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I visited leaders and partners.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I continued to shop and play...

In the blink of an eye, time has come to the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Because they are leaving for Morocco tomorrow, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Fei did not continue to accompany Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to play, but came to the company?

As soon as I arrived at the office and turned on the computer, I saw a lot of information and news related to film and television entertainment popped up on the Internet.

The most eye-catching one is "The Mermaid".

After only three days of release, the box office of the movie soared to 763 million. This wave of sentimental publicity has indeed played a huge role!

However, when everyone in the circle was paying attention to the box office performance of this movie, netizens focused their attention on the previous conflict between Huayi and Zhou Xingchi.

"I want to know now, does Huayi regret it? Because of a movie called "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and an 80 million yuan salary, they actually offended Stephen Chow. Now they didn't even take them to "The Mermaid", hahahahaha!"

"I can't even imagine how much the stock price would rise if Huayi produced this movie exclusively?"

"One misstep can lead to eternal regret! So, sometimes people still have to take a long-term view and don't miss the opportunity for the sake of the petty gains in front of them!"

...

Looking at the various "weird" comments under the official blog account, Wang Zhonglei would be lying if he said he wasn't angry.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in being angry. Who told them to make a mistake in the first place?

Wang Zhongjun forcibly moved his eyes away from the screen and asked in a deep voice: "Is the post-production of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" going smoothly?"

"Yes, it's going very smoothly." Wang Zhonglei responded and added: "Although we were not able to participate in the investment of "The Mermaid", this wave of traffic can be taken over.

I have already inquired about it. The quality of the movie "The Mermaid" is actually just that, and the reason why the box office is so high is mainly because it consumes the feelings of Zhou Xingchi's fans.

Therefore, when "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is ready to be released, we can also borrow the promotion strategy of "The Mermaid", so that it will definitely be a great success!"

Wang Zhongjun didn't know much about this aspect, so he didn't continue to communicate in depth.

He just nodded, and then solemnly warned: "The promotion of this movie must be done well, and there must be no mistakes. We can't afford to lose now."

"Okay, brother, don't worry, I know the interests involved."

"Well, then the company's affairs will be handed over to you first. I have arranged to meet with the artists of Dongyang Haohan and Dongyang Meila. I have to meet with them and have a good chat."

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked: "Is it for the stock market?"

"Yes." Wang Zhongjun did not mean to hide it, but said bluntly: "The company's stock price has been falling. I have to think of a way to minimize this decline. At least we have to persist until we make new achievements."

...

At the same time, while the two brothers of the Wang family were planning how to save their own stock price, Chen Fei was watching the film review of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny".

At first, before the movie was released, he thought that this movie would never succeed!

And now, the facts have proved that this movie is indeed a flop.

After three days of release, the box office performance has been declining, and now it has fallen below 10 million, with a total box office performance of only 59.32 million, not even a fraction of "The Mermaid"...

It is obvious that this movie has failed miserably.

If it is just a box office failure, then it is fine, but the key problem is that the reputation of this movie is also a mess!

On Maoyan, 170,000 viewers gave a 5-point rating, so that the average score of this movie can't even pass the passing line.

And looking at the film review area below, it is even more bleak.

"If the title didn't have the words 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', maybe 'Sword of the Azure Destiny' would still be okay, but it's disgusting to add it, because the two are not comparable at all, and it will offend fans... Mr. Yuan Ba ​​has no ambition to surpass the previous work, so why humiliate himself?"

"I went to the cinema because of 'feelings', but the result made me regret it very much; 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' focuses on digging into people's hearts, while 'Sword of the Azure Destiny' has become a thorough action movie, fighting from beginning to end, this is the result of a martial arts director becoming a director!"

"If you want to watch an action blockbuster, I still recommend everyone to watch 'Ip Man 4', at least the filming there is real enough, while this one is just like playing, and the big villain who looks very fierce was killed in a few moves..."

"The climax is so vulgar and weak. Adding some crushed ice and gravel flying out of the screen proves that it is 3D? How funny."

"Haha, this plot is really making me laugh to death. Wei Fang and Xue Ping are the son and adopted daughter of Yu Jiaolong in the original work, but because Li An killed Yu Jiaolong in the previous work, the director and screenwriter decided to create a "Han Mei" to replace her and resurrect the super spare tire Meng Sizhao as the protagonist? How funny, this alone has doomed this movie to be a poor and bloody work."

"Does Zhen Zixuan not know how to act? Why are all the shots of him so embarrassing? What's going on?"

Compared to the various insults and criticisms encountered by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny", "Ip Man 4" is much better.

The overall score of 9.3 directly reflects the fans' love for this movie.

Three days after its release, the box office soared to 359 million, directly leaving "The Sword of the Dark" far behind!

Now the situation is actually very clear. You can see it without any special analysis. "Ip Man 4" will definitely win!

And this also means that in this "Zhao Zhen Controversy", Zhao Wenzhuo once again defeated Zhen Zizhen, and easily "killed the latter".

At this time, Xiangjiang is in the residential area of ​​Kowloon.

"Zi Xuan, we..."

Donnie Yen's manager opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

He knew very well that this "Sword of the Green Dark" was Donnie Yen's last hope.

But now, the last hope has been completely shattered. Faced with the powerful blow of "Ip Man 4", they simply lost completely!

On the sofa, Donnie Yen held out her chest and waist very stubbornly, and asked in a deep voice: "Am I not able to get any more dramas now?"

The agent looked slightly startled, and after thinking for a moment, he responded: "You can still get the role, but it's impossible to play the leading role in the movie."

"Which TV series is the male lead?"

"No... not at all." The manager gritted his teeth and told the whole story: "After the failure of "The Sword of the Blue Ming", your current position is equivalent to that of an ordinary second-tier actor.

If you want to continue to take on roles, then your targets are only various second-male and third-male roles, or even... villains. "

"Second male? Third male? Villain?"

Zhen Zizhen murmured, his tone full of disbelief.

He slowly turned his head, and after receiving a positive nod from his manager, his whole body seemed to wilt and collapse all of a sudden.

To say that I don’t regret it would be an absolute lie!

But now that the matter has come to this, what’s the use of regretting it?

As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to another wrong move... Ever since he was fooled into taking sides by the Xiang family, his life trajectory has been completely rewritten.

What he is encountering now is simply his own fault.

…

China Film.

Although the state-owned enterprise is on Spring Festival holiday, as the top leader of China Film and Television, La Qikang is destined to not be able to leave all the company's affairs alone and go out to be cool by himself.

No, after noticing that the box office results of "The Sword of the Dark" were getting worse and worse, he had to come to the company to find a remedy.

However, after convening a large group of people and studying for a whole morning, they still couldn't come up with any good solution.

The quality of the film is not good, the plot is a mess, the actors' acting skills are too low, and there are wolves around...

In this case, no one can think of how to remedy it. They can only watch the box office performance drop lower and lower until it is completely finished.

"La Dong, let me see, we might as well transfer all the promotional resources of "The Sword of the Dark" to "The Mermaid". This movie is hopeless anyway, so we might as well just focus on the one with the highest profit, and come back to it last. Make up for the losses here.”

The proposal was endorsed by many in the room.

Although La Sheikang was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to do so. After all, he couldn't use the promotional resources of "Mermaid" for "The Sword of the Dark".

If he really did this, he would be putting the cart before the horse and doing something stupid.

After thinking for a moment, he could only nod his head and said, "Okay. Let's do it this way. Let's transfer all the promotion resources of "The Sword of the Blue Dark" to "The Mermaid"."

He didn't know why, but after giving this order, he felt an inexplicable feeling of regret in his heart.

If he had known that this movie would be so embarrassing, he should not have sided with Anle Pictures for the sake of uncertain political achievements, and even chilled Chen Fei's heart for a time!

"No, we have to find a way to make up for it. We can't just let it go, otherwise China Film will not be able to benefit from Feiyue Film and Television in the future, and my political performance will definitely be affected...

But the key question now is, how to remedy it? Is there anything that China Film Group has but Feiyue Pictures doesn’t? "

…

After Chen Fei sat in the office for a while, he waited for Su Guohai, who also came to the company to inspect the operation of various departments during the Spring Festival.

According to the notification, there is no such thing as a holiday in the film and television industry.

Moreover, the bigger the company is, the busier it will be during holidays. Only small workshops and small companies will implement the whole company holiday during holidays.

After pushing the door and walking into the office, Su Guohai placed a newspaper on Chen Fei's desk.

"Director Chen, the list of the main competition units of this year's Berlin International Film Festival has been announced."

"Oh? So fast?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows curiously, then picked up the newspaper and read it.

Looking at the shortlist, there is only one Chinese-language film from the Mainland called "Yangtze River Pictures" that has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of this Berlin International Film Festival.

He is quite familiar with this movie. After all, it is a product of the "New Literary Film Recovery" plan.

The male and female protagonists of the film are Qin Hao and Xin Zhilei, the little princes of literary films respectively. It is a magical realism love-themed movie.

In addition, there is also a film from Xiangjiang that was successfully shortlisted, "A Big Tree Catches the Wind" produced by Johnnie To.

However, this film was shortlisted for the New Cinema International Forum unit, which is a non-competition screening unit. It has little value and can be completely ignored.

However, at this moment, Chen Fei suddenly remembered the suspense-themed online drama "Undocumented Crime" invested and produced by Feiyue Film and Television.

This web drama also stars Qin Hao!

""Proof of Innocence" was completed a year ago, right? Has the post-production been completed? When is it scheduled to be released?"

Listening to Chen Fei's question, Su Guohai responded without hesitation: "The later stage will probably take about half a month. As for the launch time...this web drama is actually used to take over "Welcome Together 2"."

"Well, that's fine."

While talking, Chen Fei mentioned the two animated films that the animation department is currently promoting at the same time.

"By the way, how is the progress of "White Snake: The Origin" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"?"

"It's very slow." Su Guohai shrugged and said with some helplessness: "The animation rendering and character design are too complicated, and the release of the finished product is much slower than the production of live-action movies."

Chen Fei was not too surprised by this answer.

"Slow down, but be sure to put quality first, because we are targeting Hollywood animated films, and we must set a clear benchmark and not make shoddy films..."

"Okay, Director Chen, I will warn Li Yang and Yang Yu."

You know, the animated film department of Feiyue Film and Television has always performed well in the field of domestic animated films, and it has also followed the "high-quality" route in recent years.

Moreover, the animated film department had already achieved profitability a few years ago and there was no shortage of money at all, so there was no need to pursue progress.

As long as we can ensure that the quality of every animated movie is at the level of a "top masterpiece", then we will never suffer losses!

Later, Chen Fei learned about the filming progress of the film and television dramas "The Legend of Chu Qiao", "Zhu Xian" and "In the Name of the People".

In a blink of an eye, it was already evening.

He did not stay in the company very late. After finishing all the documents that needed to be signed, he went straight downstairs and returned to the courtyard.

Liu Yifei had already virtuously prepared his luggage for Morocco. As soon as he saw him coming back, she naggingly told him to eat well, drink well and not stay up late when he went there...

"Yeah, I know."

Chen Fei nodded seriously, indicating that he had heard all these words.

This time, Miss Liu is not ready to follow him abroad.

Because there are less than 45 days left in the filming schedule of "Operation Red Sea", and during this period, Liu Yifei needs to complete the crew framework of "La La Land" and the auditions for the remaining roles.

Just wait for Chen Fei to come back and the new movie will be launched.

However, while the two of them were talking, Shu Chang rolled his eyes wildly.

"Oh, can you two stop being so annoying? Aren't we just separated for a month? Is it necessary to do this? It seems like we are parting from each other, it's so sweet..."

Chen Fei glanced at her and snorted: "You single, what the hell do you know? This is what we call love!"

Shu Chang: "(_)..."

Seeing that her best friend was embarrassed, Liu Yifei couldn't hold it back and started laughing again.

"Ah! Liu Yifei! You forget your friends again because of your lust, why don't you help me fight against him!"

The two girls soon got into a fuss, and Chen Fei turned around and left the room with a smile, and walked to the living room.

As soon as he took out his mobile phone, he saw a set of makeup photos posted by the crew of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" on Weibo.

It has to be said that Fan Bingbing's image and temperament are really not blown out. Even if he dresses up like a rural woman, the smell of "Fan Jinlian" is still coming out.

…

The sun and the moon rotate, and when the sky lights up again, it is already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Last night, Shu Chang "mercifully" returned Liu Yifei to Chen Fei, finally releasing the emotions that he had been holding back for 5 days.

After getting up early, Chen Fei went to a breakfast shop outside to buy millet porridge.

After getting it back, he drank while browsing the latest entertainment news on the Internet.

The box office of "Mermaid" is still soaring, and is about to exceed one billion.

Next up is "Ip Man 4". After four days of release, the box office has reached 447 million yuan.

This was followed by 379 million for “Kung Fu Panda 4” and 317 million for “Journey to the West: The Monkey King: The Three Skeleton Demons.”

As for "The Sword of the Dark", the new box office today has dropped below 10 million, making "Smooth" the first big-budget movie to be released during the Spring Festival this year.

While paying attention to the box office data of these popular movies, Chen Fei also saw a very strange report.

"It is reported that the costume time-travel TV series "Prince Concubine's Promotion", controlled by LeTV Pictures and produced by Le Yang Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., starring Zhang Tianai, Sheng Lun, Yu Mengyu and others, was released on the 24th of last month. After the General Administration ordered it to be removed from the shelves, the follow-up review failed and it has been banned from being shown on the entire network.”

Looking at this news, Chen Fei was still a little confused.

Why was such a good TV series removed from the entire network? And the reexamination has not passed yet? !

"What's going on? Is this a violation of heaven's rules?"

Chen Fei muttered something in a low voice, subconsciously switched to the Baidu app, and entered the words "Prince Concubine's Promotion" into the dialog box.

However, the next second, he was stunned!

"What the hell!? What a plot? How dare you!"

Zhang Peng, a modern man, traveled back to the ancient princess after falling into the water... The princess with the heart of a boy and the body of a girl rushed into the palace with passion, and was promoted smoothly along the way...

Looking around, below the search terms for this TV series, there are all discussions about selling sex, flirting with girls, eating melons, and various "modern" lines.

Coupled with the "cool", "revealing" and "big leaks" of the clothes... it's no wonder that they were banned by the authorities.

Looking at the sexy stills and relevant drama clips, Chen Fei couldn't help but marvel: "It is indeed a work produced by Boss Jia, just like him, bold enough!"
