Chapter 926 The Rock Godfather Doesn’t Want to Be Humiliated? He Was Suppressed by the National Cinema!

Before his rebirth, Chen Fei actually went to the cinema to watch "Legend of the Gods".

Therefore, he knew very well that this was a terrible movie, and no one could change the chaos and jumps in the story.

But this time, Huaxia Star was bankrupted and delisted early by him, and the producer was replaced by Bona.

So he was quite curious. After breaking away from the absolute control of Huaxia Star and the Xiang Family, what tricks would Yu Dong play in this "Legend of the Gods"?

Ning Hao said that this movie is so bad that it can blind people's eyes!

This couldn't help but make Chen Fei become more and more curious.

He especially wanted to see how bad this movie could be under Bona's control.

Anyway, the movie ticket only costs a few dozen yuan. When the time comes, take a walk and think of it as an "eye-opener."

Throughout the afternoon, the Internet was full of promotional releases about "Legend of the Gods", and countless film critics and film review organizations were crazy about touting the film's special effects and graphics.

Chen Fei was stunned not to see a single negative review from the Internet. From this, it can be seen that Bona probably spent a lot of money on the publicity.

Time soon came to evening, and a piece of news from Hollywood suddenly appeared on the Weibo hot search list:

"Reprinted from The Hollywood Daily and produced by Huayi. The animated music masterpiece "Rock Tibetan Mastiff", which took rock godfather Zheng Jun six years and painstaking efforts, grossed US$899,000 at the box office on its first day of release in North America, which is approximately more than 5 million yuan."

This news did not arouse the attention of the industry at first. After all, everyone knew that this film had long been scrapped.

There are just a lot of netizens on the Internet who are mocking Zheng Jun, saying that it took him six years to create a piece of cake.

This kind of criticism is actually very common in the industry. After all, it is a bad movie, so it is quite normal to receive a few scoldings.

Usually, the producers would choose to sit back and wait for the heat to pass.

but! The godfather of rock 'n' roll doesn't want to be treated like this!

When the time came to eight o'clock in the evening, Zheng Jun started a live broadcast on Weibo and began to express his inner dissatisfaction crazily and without concealment!

With countless netizens watching, he fired wildly at all domestic and foreign theaters:

"Two months ago, the producer of the movie "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" was forced to start a live broadcast on Weibo due to unreasonable film schedules in theaters, and publicly knelt down to beg for film schedules. Only then did he win the chance to turn around. Chance.

This proves that it doesn't really matter whether the movie is good or not. The main thing is whether the theater chain will give you the film schedule you deserve.

Just like my "Rock Tibetan Mastiff", people around me who have watched this movie are giving thumbs up and praising me, saying that I have made a good movie, a high-quality movie, and a movie that can make Chinese rock culture go international. movie.

But I never imagined that all my hard work would be wasted just because of the theater chain’s dirty operations! All efforts are in vain!

I originally thought that all the major theater chains in China were very shameless villains, but I didn’t expect that after going abroad, I would be targeted by some theater owners. This is simply an insult to me and Chinese-language movies!

I, Zheng Jun, formally declare war on you here today! I won't give in! Even if you trample my movie to death, I will not kowtow to you and admit my mistake. I will only shout at you, I am a fool! "

Weibo went completely crazy. Countless netizens and insiders responded and gathered in the live broadcast room to watch Zheng Jun curse.

On the sofa in the villa, Chen Fei was also watching the live broadcast with great interest.

The harder Zheng Jun scolded, the happier he laughed.

"Haha, this time Huayi has offended all the theater chains in the industry. If he continues to scold him like that, tomorrow Huayi's "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li" will be affected."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei, who was leaning in his arms, raised her head curiously and asked: "So, this movie failed miserably in North America, and was it also restricted by the theaters?"

"There must be a certain reason." Chen Fei did not deny it: "In addition to the poor quality of the film itself, Wanda must have also done some tricks."

"No wonder he curses. He must feel that the failure of the movie is due to the influence of theaters."

"Haha, go ahead and scold me. The harder you scold, the more unlucky Huayi will be."

The capital in the industry doesn't care who is scolding, they only know that Zheng Jun represents "Rock Tibetan Mastiff", and Huayi stands behind this movie!

Half an hour later, perhaps because the scolding was too dirty, Zheng Jun's live broadcast was finally banned by Weibo.

However, the impact of the incident has just begun!

The head of the public relations department at Huayi has almost turned on his mobile phone. Wave after wave of trolls are suppressing the outbreak of online public opinion under his control.

However, at night, when many night owls frequently browse Weibo, how could they suppress public opinion so smoothly?

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei rushed to the company one after another. Their faces were so dark that they were almost darker than the bottom of the pot.

Because just when Zheng Jun was cursing people on Weibo, the two of them received calls from major movie theaters.

Without exception, the people in charge of the theaters who called expressed their strong dissatisfaction!

And because "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" has already been released, this dissatisfaction will only be fulfilled in "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li".

This is so fucked up for riding a horse!

"Fuck! The losses were already big enough, but now it's better. Because of that guy's curse, now even "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" will be affected. Is this guy mentally ill?! Fuck!"

Wang Zhonglei was furious in the office.

He wanted to contact Zheng Jun and ask him why he did this?

However, the old guy's cell phone had been turned off long ago, and he couldn't contact him at all.

"Director Wang, we can only do our best to suppress public opinion, but... I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle it in a short time."

Listening to the words of the head of the public relations department, Wang Zhongjun, who was silent on the sidelines, turned blue for a while.

If nothing unexpected happens, Huayi's stock price will fall again when the stock market opens tomorrow.

"I don't care how much effort you put in, you must suppress this matter within two days at the latest!"

"Okay, we will definitely try our best..."

The director of the public relations department quickly ran away. It was not him who caused this incident. He did not want to bear the anger alone.

Soon, after calming down, the two Wang brothers chatted behind closed doors.

"The distribution department hasn't decided who will be the new department head?"

"There is a lot of internal competition. There are many people eyeing this position. They are all old people in the company, and there are many people who are coveting it."

"Haha." Wang Zhongjun suddenly sneered: "Old man? This position is not for old age. You just want to get a high salary but don't want to do anything. How can such a good thing happen?"

Wang Zhonglei was startled when he heard this: "So, what do you mean?"

"Let Ye Ning take over. Leave the theater chain and distribution to him. After all, he was in charge of this business when he was at Wanda. It will definitely be beneficial to us if all the connections he has accumulated over the years can be used!"

"Airborne?" Wang Zhonglei frowned slightly: "But those people down there..."

"If anyone is dissatisfied, just get out of here. I came to them to do things for me, not to come to the company for retirement!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

…

After a night, the time came to the 26th.

Early in the morning, an announcement from the theater chain made people in the industry understand how disastrous the consequences of offending the theater chain would be!

"The romantic comedy film "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" produced by Huayi and directed by Hui Zhao, starring Bao Beier, Song Jia, Zhu Yawen, and Jiao Junyan, has been forced to be canceled by theaters due to exhaustion of its box office potential.

The film was released for 11 days, and the box office revenue totaled 125 million yuan! "

As soon as the news came out, there was a sensation in the industry!

This kind of operation, which is very tacitly understood by theaters across the country and is targeted at a certain movie at the same time, is really scary. Who can an ordinary producer afford it?

Zhu Yawen was even more frightened and called Chen Fei: "What the hell? Boss! This... this, we actors will not be affected, right?"

"No, don't worry. It's only for the movie and the studio, it has nothing to do with the actors."

Everyone actually knows that this kind of operation is somewhat unreasonable, but the power of interpretation lies with the theaters, and no one can find fault.

Huayi will definitely suffer this dumb loss.

Moreover, after suffering a loss, Huayi had to find people everywhere to intercede and promised that behavior similar to this kind of producer scolding theaters would never happen in the future.

It would be fine if it offends one or two theater chains, but this is the first time in history that all theater chains across the country have been offended!

"Haha, thanks to Zheng Jun, this incident will probably be recorded in film history."

In the car, Fade Chen was joking happily.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting next door and was arranging her dress and checking her makeup, responded in a playful voice: "They deserve their misfortune. They were so arrogant and domineering in the past, and now they have received their retribution."

"Haha, just wait and see, retribution is more than just this."

Chen Fei said pointedly, with a slight smile on his lips.

…

If yesterday the entire internet was focused on "Legend of the Gods", then today is the exclusive time for "Detective Chinatown 2".

As a sequel, "Tang Detective 2" not only carries the expectations of the producers, but also the expectations of countless movie fans.

It has been almost a year since the project was approved and planned for filming to its release, and fans can’t wait!

When Chen Fei arrived at the premiere, what he saw was a huge crowd of people!

Today's premiere ceremony was very grand. Although it was not as exaggerated as the 4,000 viewers that "Old Paoer" had before, the number of people present was at least over a thousand!

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? Is today's premiere more lively than yesterday?"

On the red carpet, Ning Hao held Xing Aina's hand, greeting the fans around him and showing off to his wife.

Xing Aina rarely refuted, and responded softly: "It is indeed much larger than yesterday's "Legend of the Gods"."

Looking around, almost all the stars and actors from the mainland, from first-tier to second-tier, came to the scene today, except for those who are not in the capital!

"Feiyue Film and Television still has strong appeal."

"Of course! Is the real leader among private film and television companies living in vain?"

~

The time came to 9:30, and almost all the invited guests, audience and media had completed their entrance.

Because the official screening time of the film is at ten o'clock, the remaining half hour naturally becomes a time for everyone to socialize.

Chen Fei was talking to Wang Changtian and Liu Xiaobin about the publicity strategy for the next two days. Suddenly, he heard a commotion behind him.

Several people subconsciously turned their heads to look, and then saw Gu Changwei leading the dazzling Zhang Jinchu around to socialize. Everywhere he went, there was a chorus of admiration!

If there weren't a lot of media at the scene, I'm afraid the two of them would have held hands.

Even if they are not holding hands now, Zhang Jinchu will make some coquettish and affectionate gestures from time to time, while Gu Changwei will accept everyone who comes...

"Tsk, tsk? Are you not avoiding people anymore?"

Wang Changtian, who likes to eat melons, couldn't help but marvel at this scene.

Liu Xiaobin also turned into an audience at this moment, and whispered: "When I was in charge of real estate business at Wanda, I heard that these two couples were already doing their own thing, but I didn't expect that they are so upright now?!"

Chen Fei muttered pointedly: "In the entertainment industry, there are quite a few people who seem to be inseparable from each other."

The topic of the three people quickly moved away from Gu Changwei.

"I heard that Wanda has made a lot of moves in Europe?"

Liu Xiaobin was slightly startled by Chen Fei's sudden words.

"Is Director Chen well-informed about this information?"

"Haha." Chen Fei said with a smile: "After all, Pan-Asia is also a theater chain. We have a wide range of news channels in this regard."

The conversation between the two made both Wang Changtian and Ren Zhonglun, who had just come over, feel confused.

"What are you two talking about? What happened to Wanda Cinema?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Liu Xiaobin's face: "Let me keep you quiet for now. You will know the day after tomorrow."

~

The time soon came to 10 o'clock. When Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Ruoyun, Xiao Yang and other main creators came down from the stage after speaking, the film screening officially began.

Glancing at Ren Zhonglun who was drinking water next to him, Chen Fei reminded him in a low voice: "Director Ren, I suggest you drink as little water as possible while watching the movie."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because I'm afraid you'll burst out laughing."

"???"

The big screen lit up at this time, and subtitles began to appear,

Like the first film, Qin Feng, who stuttered a bit, took the lead and started the first conversational joke with the airport staff.

When a standard Northeast dialect came out from the mouth of the black airport staff, everyone knew that the "Comedy Detective" officially kicked off!

If "Tang Ren" in the first part was a joke as soon as he appeared, then in the second part, with Wang Baoqiang's performance, the joke seems to have been deepened!

With his nouveau riche appearance, every move he made, including every line he spoke, could arouse laughter from many audiences at the scene.

During the two-hour viewing process, this movie showed very interesting and wonderful scenes in terms of storyline, actors' acting skills, and dialogue lines, and there were no peeing spots throughout.

There are a lot of laughs, every actor's performance is just right, and the details of the murderer's crime and the protagonist group's solution of the crime made many viewers and guests exclaim that it was wonderful!

And at the end of the film, it successfully leads to the prologue of the third part.

Ren Zhonglun listened to the advice and did not turn on the mineral water during the whole process, which also prevented him from making a fool of himself on the scene.

However, the moment the lights came on, he couldn't wait to turn his head and look at Fade Chen: "So, there will be a third sequel to this movie?"

Chen Fei nodded slightly: "As long as the box office can meet expectations, we will immediately start preparing for the third part."

"What were your expectations?"

"2 billion bottom line."

"Grandma is so stupid..." Ren Zhonglun couldn't help complaining for a while: "You don't know how your head looks like. We make a movie and we don't have the confidence to hit 1 billion box office. It's better for you to speak up. It’s just a bottom line of 2 billion, and it’s been won over and over again…”

"Haha, as the old saying goes, the land is as productive as the boldness of the people."

…

With the conclusion of the premiere of "Detective Chinatown 2", just like the previous "Legend of the Gods", a large number of promotional releases have emerged on the Internet.

"The decisive battle in Chinatown, Detective never gives up... Please look forward to "Detective Chinatown 2"!"

"At the premiere of "Tang Detective 2", Wang Baoqiang revealed that after the film is released, he will officially launch his first film "Hong Kong Embarrassing"."

"Zhang Ruoyun revealed that because there are a lot of chasing scenes in the movie, the most common collective activity of the "Tang Detective 2" crew is "night running"; at night, the actors are collectively pulled out to run, and they run until dawn, and even Some people went straight to vomit..."

"It is reported that "Tang Detective 3" has already formulated a preparatory plan..."

"Director Chen Fei announced at the premiere of "Detective Chinatown 2" that during the upcoming August, "Detective Chinatown 2" will definitely dominate the summer vacation!"

…

In the afternoon, while Chen Fei was observing and analyzing the gains brought by the promotional draft of "Tang Detective 2", he suddenly saw a lot of interesting news on a portal website.

Alibaba Pictures issued a temporary announcement saying that it will hold a media fan meeting for the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Ben-Hur" tomorrow morning.

According to the announcement, Johnny Depp, the leading actor of "Ben-Hur", will also come to the capital in person to communicate with fans on the film's selling points and interesting aspects.

In addition, he also saw a lot of comments mocking the TV series "Fantasy City".

The show has only been on air for three days, and the comprehensive scores of Maoyan and Douban have both fallen below 6 points, which can be said to be numerous negative reviews.

What makes many practitioners in the industry despise it is that "Fantasy City" has been deeply involved in the storm of plagiarism since its release.

The show not only plagiarized the logo of the tribe in "World of Warcraft" by Blizzard, the costume design of the protagonist in "Assassin's Creed" by French UBI game company, the shape of the Elf King in the American Hollywood blockbuster "The Hobbit", and the staff in the well-known Japanese manga "Cardcaptor Sakura"...

Looking around, it can be said that before the broadcast, it was "full of gongs and drums", and after the broadcast, it was "complained by all the people", and then it became more and more silent as it was broadcast...

The failure of this TV series has also caused deep confusion in the hearts of many netizens and capital in the film and television industry.

Is the operation of "big IP + strong lineup + big investment" a "treasure pot" that can continuously reap huge profits?
