Chapter 154 "Dragon" Premiere Meeting (24)

After hanging up the phone, Director Chen asked him: "What's wrong?"

"Teacher Zhang Jizhong's "Dragon" is premiering. Are you going to hold a premiere meeting? Invite me to come too..."

"...You played a role?"

"No, I am one of the screenwriters of "Dragon Movie"..."

"Then...oh, is this going to be a bit of a hype?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, there is so much hype about "Dragon Babu", it is not possible for a small screenwriter like me to be caught..."

"...Don't underestimate yourself, "Number One in the World", "Golden Branch Desire", "Outstanding Citizen", you are no worse than them..."

"But these works have not been broadcast yet... So, for now, I am just a small screenwriter with some potential..."

"Are you going to the meeting?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Go and have a look. Anyway, if you reimburse the travel expenses, just treat it as a visit to see friends..."

"Then go ahead, it's still good to get in touch with more people!"

"Well," Shen Xudong thought of something: "When can our movie be shot?"

"I guess by the end of the month, Guan Xi has already taken the camera crew to view the scene..."

…

"Dragon" really doesn't need to hype Shen Xudong...

Because the conflict between Zhang Jizhong and chief director Zhou Xiaowen is enough for everyone!

How should I put it? It was Zhou Xiaowen who first broke the news, accusing Zhang Jizhong of still owing him 40% of his remuneration...

Zhang Jizhong responded: Something happened during the fund operation, and I haven’t received my own yet!

Zhou Xiaowen said: I did not participate much in the post-production of "Dragon". If I am not paid for the post-production, I should still be paid for the filming part.

When Zhang Jizhong ignored him, Zhou Xiaowen couldn't sit still and poured out a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhang Jizhong:

"When I first started shooting, I wanted to use a standard-definition camera, but he insisted on shooting in high-definition. I think there is only one reason, and that is, "Everyone knows the cost of standard-definition, which can't be fooled, but the price of high-definition is very flexible," he said. What a fuss!"

"Why doesn't he have a request for the picture?"

"What can he ask for? Even if she asked for it, the TV station does not have the corresponding equipment and cannot produce high-definition effects. In the end, it will have to be changed back to standard definition!"

"It's too inflated. The producer is just like us directors and actors. He is also a part-time worker, but the producer only controls the money!"

You do this...

Lao Zhang is not easy to get along with either. Zhou Xiaowen was not invited to the premiere meeting!

Zhou Xiaowen is the chief director!

Anyway, after Shen Xudong met Qi Xiaolei, the latter told him a lot of nonsense...

Shen Xudong was confused: "According to this, the future of "Dragon Movie" is worrying?"

"No, it was broadcast in Taiwan and the ratings were very high!"

It is indeed quite high. It was launched in Taiwan on the 6th, and on the first day of broadcast, it created the highest ratings of CTV in a year. As of yesterday, the ratings have risen from 3.17 to 3.86...

It created the highest ratings record for a mainland TV series broadcast in Taiwan...

"It's all a gimmick. In fact, before filming started, "Dragon" had already signed broadcast contracts with major TV stations across the country, and the copyrights for audio-visual products were also sold at high prices..."

"What about word of mouth?"

"The reputation is also pretty good...it's mostly praised online!"

Why ask about word of mouth?

Isn’t it not broadcast yet?

Well, the audio-visual production was released a week before the broadcast!

…

The publicity focus of "Dragon" is of course the actors!

Hu Jun, Lin Zhiying, Liu Yifei, Liu Tao, Jiang Xin are all here...

After meeting Shen Xudong, several people had different attitudes. Hu Jun was very enthusiastic. His manager was Wang Jinghua. He knew that Shen Xudong had recently been affiliated with Zheng Xiaolong and Chen Daoming, and he was already considered a formal member of the Beijing circle;

I don’t know Lin Zhiying very well. We just said hello and we met.

Liu Tao, Jiang Xin... I'm not too familiar with them, but they are both beauties, and Shen Xudong's attitude towards beauties has always been very friendly...

What's more, he knows that these two are both well-known actors in the future, so there is no chance of cooperation!

Especially Liu Tao...

Wang can do it, why can't Shen Xudong?

Ahem...

Gao Rui didn't come, he was quite miserable. After "Dragon", Gao Rui took over the TV series "Love Wrong". When filming a driving scene on the set, he hit the crew's lighting engineer Feng Ziyong and seriously injured him. Feng Ziyong failed to be rescued by the hospital. die…

The court found him guilty of negligence causing death.

On the one hand, you have to pay compensation, and you have to serve one year in prison...

In this case, he had no intention of attending any premiere press conference!

Among so many people, Shen Xudong has a good relationship with Liu Yifei. When I came to attend the premiere press conference, I mainly wanted to meet Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu...

He knew Aunt Liu would definitely come!

Seeing Liu Yifei, Shen Xudong smiled: "...Why haven't you grown taller?"

"Why am I growing taller? I'm already 16!"

"...I've grown a little, but you haven't? You study too hard, can't you keep up with nutrition?"

"You can't keep up with nutrition...Mom, look at him!"

Unable to defeat Shen Xudong, Liu Yifei decisively went to find her mother. When Aunt Liu saw Shen Xudong, she smiled and said hello: "Xudong is here too!"

"Well, come and see the world..."

"Do you still need to see the world? I heard that you have collaborated on a drama with Beijing TV Drama?"

"...Luckily, Director Zheng fell in love with the script I wrote..."

Liu Yifei quickly asked: "What script?"

""The Desire of the Golden Branch"," Aunt Liu continued: "Didn't you notice that Chen Hao is not here? She is filming this drama. I heard that you wrote this script specifically for her?"

Shen Xudong did not deny it: "Well..."The Best in the World" was the investment that Sister Chen Hao helped to attract. I wanted to reciprocate the favor, so I wrote "The Golden Branch" for her..."

"Great talent, I heard that your game adaptation of "Zhu Xian" sold more than one million?"

"...It's just a small amount of money, how can it be compared with auntie..."

While we were chatting, a group of media came in. Well, actually, it was reporters from Sina Entertainment who came in to take photos and conduct interviews.

Shen Xudong was very conscious and then stepped out of his position...

When it comes to interviews, they must be interviews with actors. Don’t ask him to be a screenwriter!

Then... a group of people surrounded him.

The first question confused him!

"Xudong, do you know that Guo Jingming's new book is suspected of plagiarism?"

"Ah...oh, I don't pay much attention...but I heard something..."

"What do you think about this?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment before replying: "...This still needs to be decided by the court. After all, I haven't read his novels..."

"Some netizens said that your "No. 1 in the World" also plagiarized many settings of martial arts novels... What do you think of this statement?"

"...I made up the story by mixing martial arts elements together, and my story is logical and complete from beginning to end. How can this be said to be plagiarism? Anyone who thinks I plagiarized can sue me in court! "

"Xudong, have you really not watched "How many flowers fall in my dream"?"

"I really haven't read it. Our drama department has very heavy coursework. We have to read a lot of classic plays every day. I also have to write scripts. I'm so busy. How can I have time to read other people's books?"
