Chapter 921: The Director’s Wife Who “Guards the Marriage Like Jade”?

Some news from the film and television industry did not attract much attention from the outside world.

In the eyes of netizens, whether "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" can make money or not has nothing to do with them.

If your movie is well made, people will naturally go to see it.

But if your movie is not well made, then people will naturally not waste dozens of dollars to watch a bad movie.

In the evening, Chen Fei left the company early and went to a movie theater near his home.

At noon, Liu Yifei said that she wanted to watch "Lu Yao Zhi Mali" starring Zhu Yawen, and specifically asked Chen Fei to accompany her.

Chen Fei would naturally not refuse this request.

To be honest, he was actually quite curious about Zhu Yawen's performance in this movie, because as far as he knew, this guy played a sissy role!

It's really hard to imagine what it's like for a person who is full of masculinity on weekdays to play a sissy?

However, what made Chen Fei speechless was that when he walked into the theater, he saw two big light bulbs following Liu Yifei.

Looking around, Shu Chang and Han Jianu, two greedy girls, were holding a popcorn bucket each, staring at Liu Yifei who was buying tickets.

Chen Fei walked closer and looked at them with disdain: "Why are you two here too?"

"Hehe, I'll be the light bulb." Shu Chang raised his mouth provocatively, with a very proud expression.

"Me too, me too!" Han Jianu was also speaking enthusiastically, with a posture like a model student.

Chen Fei rolled his eyes at the two of them, walked up to take the movie ticket from Liu Yifei, and walked her into the theater while not forgetting to complain about the two of them: "Two single dogs!"

"Tsk!"

The two of them made very dissatisfied sounds in unison.

After entering the theater, in order to "retaliate" against Chen Fei, Shu Chang even forced the two of them to sit on both sides of the seats, and together with Han Jianu, separated the two of them far away.

"Next time you go out on a date, don't bring them two, I have a headache just looking at them." Chen Fei complained speechlessly.

"Hehe..." Liu Yifei kept laughing, and she looked very happy.

The film started playing soon.

As a romantic comedy, the story of "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li" is easy to understand.

The film mainly tells the story of Lu Yao, played by Bao Bei'er, who meets his kindergarten classmate Ma Li (played by Song Jia) when he is in college. They have a good impression of each other, and a series of hilarious stories are triggered in the process of mutual testing.

As for Zhu Yawen, he plays a "love expert" type of role, and he also has a flash marriage with Jiao Junyan, who plays Fang Huihui, in the movie.

The group came here mainly to see the role of Zhu Yawen.

Looking at Zhu Yawen wearing black earrings and dressed in a coquettish way, Shu Chang was the first to sigh: "Tsk tsk?! I didn't expect it! He is really good at playing a sissy."

"Well, indeed, I can use this role to make fun of him in the future, hehe~"

Liu Yifei nodded, and then when she saw the passionate scene, she couldn't help but secretly glanced at Chen Fei for a while.

It seems... it seems... that they do this every night?

I didn't notice it when I was actually doing it, but now I'm so embarrassed to watch others perform it!

More than an hour passed quickly, and at the moment when the movie subtitles were about to appear, several people lowered their heads and left the theater silently.

If they left too late, they might be recognized by other audiences, so in general, they would leave before the lights came on when they went to watch a movie.

The corridor was very dark, and the four people walked hurriedly.

However, at this moment, two dark shadows hurried out of the aisle of another theater next to them.

Chen Fei was quick-witted and quickly pulled Shu Chang, who was walking in front, to avoid a collision between the two sides.

"Sorry!"

"Sorry."

Both parties apologized at the same time, and then they were stunned at the same time.

"Hey? Director Gu... Director Gu?"

At this moment, Chen Fei's face was full of surprise.

He had good eyesight, and combined with the voice and the eyes, facial contours, and body shape of the man opposite, he easily recognized the other party.

Even though the other party wore a mask, he was still very sure that the man opposite was definitely Gu Changwei!

As for the person holding hands with Gu Changwei next to him, you don’t need to guess that it can’t be Jiang Wenli!

So who else could it be besides Jiang Wenli?

“Director Chen? What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you in the cinema.”

As soon as this familiar voice came out, a name instantly appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.

“Zhang Jinchu?”

“Yes, Director Chen, it’s me.”

While answering, Zhang Jinchu had taken off the mask on his face, but the other hand was still tightly holding Gu Changwei, with no sign of loosening.

“Ahem… Chen… Director Chen, what a coincidence…”

Director Gu was almost embarrassed and ashamed.

As a married man, it’s okay for him to bring his lover to watch a movie, but he was caught by his colleagues. This is too fucking!

“Director Gu is so elegant?” Chen Fei smiled, his tone full of ridicule.

At this moment, the lights in the corridor came on, and there were faint discussions in the two theaters on the left and right.

Several people quickly put on their masks.

Gu Changwei was afraid of being caught and was in a hurry to leave. He stared at Chen Fei with complicated eyes and said softly: "Director Chen, look at the situation today, it is not suitable for us to chat..."

Chen Fei immediately understood: "Then I won't delay Director Gu."

"Hey, okay! Okay!"

Gu Changwei responded quickly, pulled Zhang Jinchu and walked out.

At this moment, Chen Fei's voice sounded from behind the two of them: "Don't worry, Director Gu, I won't go out and talk nonsense."

Gu Changwei stumbled and almost fell down.

"Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Jinchu was a little angry, obviously he was not a shady person.

Moreover, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli have actually stopped living together for a long time now. They both play their own way, which is called a cool life.

She had long wanted to be in the position, but she just couldn't find a good opportunity.

Anyway, she didn't mind being discovered by the paparazzi, so she was very calm. However, Gu Changwei didn't know what he was worried about, so the two of them always looked like they were having an underground affair.

Not long after the two people left, Chen Fei took Liu Yifei's hand and led Shu Chang and Han Jia'v out of the theater together.

After getting into Chen Fei's Maybach, the girls suddenly started gossiping.

"Wow! Big melon! What a shocking big melon! Gu Changwei and Zhang Jinchu actually held hands and went to the movies together? If this is exposed, it will definitely be the first in the hot search list!"

Seeing Han Jia's shocked look, Chen Fei glared at her and complained: "What a fuss."

Shu Chang acted like a paparazzi at this moment, lowering his voice: "Jia Nu, you entered the industry late, but you don't know that Jiang Wenli united with the wives of directors in the entire film and television industry to ban Zhang Jinchu Woolen cloth."

"Ah? Is there still such a thing? Then why is she back again?"

Zhang Jinchu has been making a lot of noise in the Mainland during this period. She stars in the Wanda-controlled movie "Quick Gunslinger" released today.

No wonder Han Ga Nyeo was curious.

Why did an actress who was banned by the director's wife come back to the mainland again?

"Ask Chen Fei, he knows best. He is from the director circle."

In an instant, the three people in the car all looked over.

"Do you still need to ask?" Chen Fei turned the steering wheel and complained: "Director Gu has a lot of connections in the mainland, and besides him, other big directors and big producers who are secretly helping Zhang Jinchu also Quite a few.”

When an actress with good acting skills, high EQ, high IQ, who is willing to dedicate herself, and who is also vegetarian appears in the film and television industry, it is easy to become popular.

Therefore, although Zhang Jinchu offended many directors' wives, she still prospered even if she went to Hong Kong.

This time she returned to the mainland again and caught up with Wanda. It must have been a big boss who was behind her again.

However, just when Chen Fei was sighing with emotion, Liu Yifei's proposition was suddenly thrown over from the passenger seat!

"I see you are quite familiar with her, too?"

Han Jia'v and Shu Chang, who were still laughing and joking in the back seat, suddenly stopped talking and looked forward with interest.

Chen Fei's heart was ringing with alarm bells!

But at this moment, he did not panic, but responded calmly: "She and I are not familiar. We don't even have contact information. We just met at some events."

"Oh? Is that so..."

The tense atmosphere in the car suddenly relaxed a lot.

In the back seat, Han Jianu, who has high emotional intelligence, quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Director Chen, is your schedule full in the second half of the year?"

Chen Fei shook his head: "No, I haven't taken on other work yet. The post-production of "Operation Red Sea" has not been completed yet."

"How many months will it take to get it done?"

"About the end of this month."

"Oh! Good!" Han Jianu was delighted and whispered: "It's about the same time..."

"What did you say?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's wait until the end of the month. I'll give you a surprise then, hehe."

Glancing at Han Jianu in the back seat through the rearview mirror, whose eyes were rolling around, Chen Fei couldn't help but complain to her: "You are so babbling, what bad ideas are you planning?"

"Humph, if I don't tell you now, I'll scare you later!"

…

It’s the morning of the 16th, and all the box office records of the films released the day before have been released.

It's a pity that Wanda had high hopes and gave "The Gunslinger" the most film schedule, but it only received 15.6845 million box office on its first day of release.

Compared with the high-ranking films it enjoys, this first-day box office figure is obviously very inconsistent.

Turning around and watching the movie "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" controlled by Huayi, the box office on the first day reached 33.41 million, successfully ranking No. 1 on the box office list that day!

Here, the problem arises.

You know, the film schedule of "Quick Gunslinger" is higher than that of "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li".

However, the film schedule has increased, but the box office has actually dropped. This is obviously something wrong!

After a little inquiry, Chen Fei suddenly discovered that this movie was actually targeted!

And it was Huayi who took action.

You know, Huayi also has theaters under its umbrella, and after suffering the blow of "Rock Tibetan Mastiff", Wang Zhonglei will naturally not sit still and wait for death.

It just so happened that Wanda-controlled "Quick Gunslinger" was released, so Huayi's theaters directly gave it the lowest film schedule.

In addition, on the day the film was officially released, a large number of trolls appeared on platforms such as Douban and Maoyan to write negative reviews.

This resulted in "The Gunslinger" having a very poor reputation online, which directly affected the film's first-day box office results.

After all, a movie ticket costs dozens of dollars, which is not a small amount of money for many people.

Spending tens of dollars to watch a bad movie is obviously a very irrational behavior.

And "Quick Gunslinger" has a terrible reputation online, so it naturally lost a lot of viewers.

Based on this, Huayi’s counterattack can be regarded as a slap in Wanda’s face!

"Tsk tsk, that's interesting. It's really interesting. Are the two families starting to fight each other?"

In the office, Chen Fei was eating melon.

He is quite curious, and he doesn't know who will be the winner in the end after the two companies officially confront each other?

As for shaking hands and making peace, I'm afraid it's impossible. The Big Pharaoh has lost such a big face, how could he just let it go?

In addition to this incident that attracted a lot of attention in the industry, the most popular incident on the Internet this morning was the late-night date between Director Gu and Zhang Jinchu.

Although the two of them hid well, they were still photographed by the paparazzi.

Once the photos and videos of eating, dating, and entering hotels together were released, they immediately aroused attention and heated discussions across the Internet!

Although Jiang Wenli did not respond publicly, she forwarded a promotional copy for the TV series "Marriage as a Jade" starring her.

"In a sense, jade is highly consistent with the nature of marriage. 'Being married is like jade'. Today, when the divorce rate remains high, it is not only a beautiful ideal, but also a positive view of marriage and love and values ​​that a harmonious society should advocate... "

Driven by the media, for a time, this old couple, who had both moved on, was plagued by controversy and public opinion.

The wave of popularity caused by the two of them successfully helped the crew of "No Other Love" and successfully made the latter disappear from the public attack.

However, the subsequent impact caused by the casting incident of "No Other Love" has not completely subsided.

The actors, directors, and those who stood in line, no matter what the final outcome is, at least they have retreated bravely now.

But Weibo, which was once an "accomplice", is entirely to blame!

For nearly a week, Cao Guowei has been "drinking tea" everywhere and busy with Weibo's deletion of Gong Youth League articles.

After leaving the last workplace that called him to "drink tea," he breathed a long sigh of relief as soon as he got into the car with a haggard look.

Fortunately, Weibo is a Chinese social platform listed on the US stock market and has a market value of tens of billions.

The country still needs Weibo, so instead of beating him to death, he gave Cao Guowei a chance to make corrections.

"Go back to the company first." After giving instructions to the driver, Cao Guowei took out his mobile phone and dialed his secretary's number: "Let's make arrangements and prepare to hold a shareholders' meeting... No, call all the executives back first, by the way. Bring a printer to the conference room and I’ll make them type the resignation report in front of me!”

Cao Guowei has always felt that he is bold enough, otherwise he would not be able to become the helmsman of Weibo.

But he really didn't expect that there would be someone more courageous than him in the company!

He even dared to secretly delete articles published by the Gong Youth League without telling him. If these people are not cleared out quickly, who knows how much trouble he will have in the future!

"As well as Alibaba and those Taiwanese investors, please get out of here!"

…

Three days passed quietly.

On the morning of the 18th, on his way to attend the premiere of the movie "Escape" starring Chen Long, Chen Fei saw several reports on the box office results of theater movies on Weibo.

"The comedy and action movie "The Bounty Hunter" produced by LeTV Pictures and starring Lee Min Ho, Chung Han-liang, and Tang Yan has been officially canceled by theaters due to exhaustion of its box office potential. The box office revenue was 213 million yuan."

"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" was released yesterday, with a box office revenue of 392 million."

"The animated movie "Rock Tibetan Mastiff", controlled by Huayi and with an investment cost of 360 million yuan, has been forced to cancel due to exhaustion of its box office potential. The film has been in theaters for 10 days and has a total box office of 39.54 million."

"The box office of "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" only reported 64.53 million in the first three days of the weekend. The film's box office opened high but then declined, and the comprehensive film schedule has dropped to 15.3%."

"Due to its poor reputation, the film's three-day box office in the first weekend was 36.87 million, and the overall film schedule has dropped to 11.4%."

From this piece of data, we can clearly judge that the private fight between Wanda and Huayi is called "brutal"!

"Rock Tibetan Mastiff" was taken offline, "Quick Gunslinger" was brutally retaliated, and "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" also did not escape...

I have to say that these two families are really ruthless, and they always kill them when they stab someone!

Chen Fei was sighing with emotion when suddenly, a call came in.

As soon as he pressed the connect button, he heard Zhou Shouzi's voice coming from inside:

"Director Chen, Weibo sent me a notice saying that a shareholders' meeting will be held tomorrow morning to readjust the share quotas of all shareholders."

Coming!

Chen Fei's heart moved. If nothing unexpected happened, the next step should be the time of reckoning.

"Okay, I got it. You go there tomorrow. I won't go. There are too many bad people in that place..."

"There is one more thing." Zhou Shouzi suddenly changed the subject: "Tomorrow morning, ByteDance will launch that app."

Hearing this, Chen Fei immediately became interested: "Okay, I got it. I'll go to ByteDance tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then we will split up."

"If there is any movement on Weibo, remember to notify me."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."
