Chapter 293 Taking the blame
"The latest news is that the ratings of "Crazy" are 2.317%, temporarily ranking first in the ratings of TV series this year. Xu Xiyu posted a blog to thank the audience for their support and love.
He also emphasized that the current achievements of "Cyclone" are the result of the joint efforts of all crew members. I hope everyone will pay more attention to the main creators..."
Qi Xiangyang rubbed his temples tiredly as he listened to the latest self-media reports on "Crazy" coming from his cell phone.
The ratings were announced half an hour ago, and the ratings of "Crazy" have increased a lot compared to yesterday.
On my side, "Pengcheng Thirty Years Old" is just the opposite. The ratings dropped from 1.621% yesterday to 1.503%.
Not only did the gap between it and "Crazy" widen, it even lost to "Qin Gong Song", which originally had lower ratings than itself.
Such a result was difficult for Qi Xiangyang to accept for a while.
Not only him, but also the creators of "Pengcheng 30" have a hard time accepting it. Half an hour later, they gathered in Qi Xiangyang's office for a meeting.
After saying some innocuous words as usual.
The person in charge of the publicity team looked around at the crowd and said weakly: "The publicity team of "Qin Gong Sing" seems to have given up competing with "Hurry Up" for popularity."
As soon as these words came out, the already quiet office became even more silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so depressing, the boss of the film and television department came to the rescue and said: "I think we may be too worried. Over the years, there have been highs and lows. Are there not many dramas that are brilliant at the beginning but collapse later?"
"Yes, yes, I think "Hurry Up" has a tendency to collapse." As soon as these words came out, the producer immediately echoed.
But this echo made a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses snort and said: "Why didn't I see it? Tell me, where is his tendency to collapse?"
< br>
This man is Du Chenshuang, the deputy director of Donghai.
"This..." The producer almost broke out in a cold sweat, and he just echoed, do you still take it seriously?
In fact, Du Chenshuang didn't take it seriously. But depending on where you are, your reactions to certain words will naturally be different.
I saw him continue to say: "You filmed "Pengcheng Thirty Years Old", and the company invested money in you. Now you can't beat Xu Xiyu in terms of the quality of the drama.
It’s just that there’s something wrong with your level, and it’s okay if you don’t reflect on it. Are you still embarrassed to lie to yourself and others here with a stern face?
Mr. Qi and I came to you not because we want to hear you chanting sutras and doing magic tricks here, trying to use these nonsense words to curse the popularity of "Cyclonus". What we want is a way to win. Do you understand the method? ”
After hearing this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, the director gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Du, there is actually a way."
"Oh, tell me." Qi Xiangyang, who had been silent for the whole time, put down his legs that were resting on the desk.
"I heard that there are several actors in "Hurry Up" who have a lot of dark history. We just need to..."
"Shut up!" Du Chenshuang interrupted impatiently after half-listening.
After the interruption, he was still angry and cursed: "Is there something wrong with your brain? There are so many actors in our industry, how many of them have completely clean butts?
Do you think that the 21 actors who came from Huaqing in our company have been stable for so long because they are all as pure as little white flowers?
The guy named Xu followed the rules and didn't use these methods to mess with them. They had been in Huaqing for so long, so maybe they didn't have any dirt on them?
You also dig up the dark history of the actors in "Hurry Up", and you still don't know who will win! Maybe Xu Xiyu is waiting for your move, and it will make sense for him to take revenge! ”
The director was so scolded by Du Chen that he immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to refute a word.
Qi Xiangyang's face also became unsightly.
Because everyone can see that Du Chenshuang's words just now were superficially scolding the director, but in fact, they were scolding Qi Xiangyang for poaching Huaqing's 21 actors and bringing many risks to Donghai.
From this we can actually see that Du Chenshuang now represents the interests of Lao Donghai.
There is a meeting here today, and it is clear that Qi Xiangyang is held responsible for the incident of "Cyclonus".
Of course, what he just said was not nonsense.
Every circle has its own unspoken rules.
This is like this, when other people's dramas are popular, they directly dig up the dark history of other people's actors, trying to use this method to remove other people's dramas.
Generally speaking, you won’t do it unless it’s absolutely necessary, and you won’t do it among big entertainment companies.
The reason is just like what he said, everyone has a bunch of actors at their disposal, and every actor has some problems at the bottom.
You dig mine, I dig yours, then no one will have to live. Small entertainment companies or individuals can do this.
But big entertainment companies have big businesses, and sometimes they have to take the lead in obeying the rules, because the rules protect their own interests.
No one wants to spend a lot of time and money on a project that cannot be launched because of a certain actor.
Of course, this is not absolute. After all, rules can only restrict people who abide by the rules, and some are the kind who do not abide by the rules.
Thinking of this, Du Chenshuang continued to scold: "Also, even if we take "Hurry Up" off the shelves now, what will happen? Xu Xiyu will then put the so-called pirated resources online.
It's their audience, no one can escape. Not only can’t he escape, but maybe Xu Xiyu will start some ‘conspiracy theories’ on the Internet, which will make the audience more enthusiastic about "Hurry Up".
What we want is to make the audience's perception of "Kurst" worse, not to make it a banned film to attract more popularity. I advise you to clarify the concepts of film and television dramas before speaking in the future.
Otherwise, if you lose to "Hurry Up" today, and "Qin Gong Sing" tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, who will you lose to the day after tomorrow, you have no choice but to lose, you won't lose face, right? ”
One word can't hurt you anymore.
Hearing that Qi Xiangyang's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears, he was just about to open his mouth to smooth things over.
Then I heard the producer say again: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Du, I think we can hype up "Kurst" to beautify the underworld."
"Where's the beautification?" Du Chenshuang asked directly.
"Gao Qiqiang is not considered beautifying?"
"He has only aired six episodes now. Is Gao Qiqiang a gangster? Isn't he a fisherman who is forced into a life-and-death crisis? The real gangster is Xu Jiang. Has Xu Jiang been beautified?"
"..."
"So what if it's really beautified? Do you think most viewers of "Hurry Up" will care about this? Aren't they watching Gao Qiqiang's "Shuangwen Life"?" Du Chenshuang asked for the second time.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the office couldn't help but look at each other.
Damn it, according to what you Lao Du said, "Kurdant" has become a big iron egg, and there is nowhere to talk about it. Is this?
Du Chenshuang seemed to see what they were thinking and sneered: "Do you think "Kurdant" is invincible? Let me tell you, it is invincible.
The quality of this drama is here, no matter what methods you use, there is nothing you can do about it. Even if I try my best, "Hurry" will be taken off the shelves.
The audience will not come to watch "Pengcheng 30 Years Old". In everyone's heart, they will not think that "Pengcheng 30 Years Old" has won. You guys, you better think about it carefully. ”
After saying this, Du Chen clapped his legs and stood up directly, and then left leisurely under Qi Xiangyang's murderous eyes.
Five or six minutes later, he was sitting in his office.
The secretary followed closely behind.
After following up, he said: "Is the matter settled?"
"It's done. The police investigation is on the way. The boy named Wu is currently a prostitute. As soon as he is taken away, we will expose it to the outside world as soon as possible, and then put the blame on Qi Xiangyang's head." The secretary said with a smile. .
The boy named Wu in her mouth is Wu Haochen, the actor who plays Gao Qisheng in "Hurry Up".
"This guy shouldn't get too carried away, don't you think?" Du Chenshuang raised the corners of his mouth.
"Indeed, he acted recklessly when he was angry. I don't know how Xu Xiyu would react after hearing about this. Will he feel that he doesn't know the person?" the secretary said with some sympathy.
"How can this be called ignorance of people? Xu Xiyu is not a god, how can he know what is behind each person?" Du Chenshuang shook his head.
To be honest, he personally admires Xu Xiyu, but appreciation is appreciation and competition is competition.
If Xu Xiyu's anger can be aroused this time and a few of the Huaqing Gang in the East China Sea can be "killed", then many things will be easier to handle.
Thinking of this, Du Chenshuang couldn't help laughing "haha".
Fifteen minutes later, news appeared on the Internet that [Wu Haochen, the actor who played Gao Qisheng in "Crazy", was taken away by the police on suspicion of soliciting prostitution].
