Chapter 295 A new round of competition
Time flies.
Three days have passed since the "Wu Haochen went whoring" incident.
In the past three days, public opinion has basically been stabilized. "Cyclonus" is still being broadcast as usual, and its popularity and ratings have not been affected much.
Of course, we are still busy in the later stage, and the publicity team is also monitoring all kinds of bad public opinions at any time.
All in all, most of the staff on the "Horse" crew were in a state of tension.
Also in a state of tension are the artists from the Huaqing Gang of Donghai Media.
Most of these artists have their own schedules, some are in the capital, and some are out of town. Therefore, if Xu Xiyu wanted to invite them all to have a meal together, he would naturally need some time to prepare them.
However, even though everyone was far apart, in the end, all 21 artists agreed to come.
This is not to say that these 21 artists are all afraid that Xu Xiyu has their dark history.
The dark history of some artists is not enough to cause "fatal injuries" to them. Even if they do have some serious past, they dare to bet that Xu Xiyu does not know about it.
Therefore, the main reason why everyone is willing to come is because the 21 of them are not united.
When they first learned that Xu Xiyu was going to invite them to dinner, seven or eight people "knelt down" at that time. After they knelt down, in order not to make themselves so conspicuous, they naturally instigated others to go with them.
Just like this, fifteen or six artists decided to come together on the first day.
The remaining people looked at the formation and wondered if they would be targeted if they didn't go if everyone else went. Will Xu Xiyu be regarded as the main target for revenge?
With this kind of worry, as we go back and forth, everyone pulls me and I pull you, and everyone gathers together.
However, there are exceptions to everything. Although these 21 people were basically forced to come to eat, there was one person who wanted to come on his own initiative.
This person is none other than Song Limin, who wants everyone to be together.
The purpose of her coming here was to help Qi Xiangyang get information.
At this time, at 7 pm on September 6, 21 artists had gathered in a large box of a club in Beijing.
Song Limin was holding a cup of tea, sipping it while gauging everyone's reactions.
Some people gathered together to chat and laugh, appearing relatively relaxed; others pretended to be natural and had some tension that was difficult to conceal.
Of course, no one was playing with their mobile phones, because everyone’s electronic devices were basically handed over to their assistants or agents when they just passed the security check.
Yes, this club has a security check system.
It is a big no-no to bring audio or video equipment to this kind of dinner party.
Especially in recent years, after many people were caught on video and fell over because of dinner parties, everyone has paid more attention to this aspect of protection.
"Sister Song, what do you think Xu Xiyu will say later?" While Song Limin was drinking tea and looking at her, Li Shanling quietly came over and whispered.
Speaking of which, Li Shanling is also quite beautiful, a bit like Li Qin.
"How did I know?" Song Limin chuckled.
"He won't catch a few of us to vent his anger and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, right?" Li Shanling was a little worried.
"It's possible, especially the two of us. We even mocked Yang Xueqing during the Spring Festival Gala. Maybe she will come with us today. After all, "Crazy" is co-produced by her company.
Moreover, who knows what the relationship between Yang Xueqing and Xu Xiyu is, what if they have an affair? In this case, maybe he will become a beauty later. "Song Limin said deliberately with a roll of her eyes.
Hearing this, Li Shanling's already troubled expression became even more ugly. This was what she was worried about.
Seeing this, Song Limin continued: "However, if you are angry and become a beauty, this beauty does not necessarily have to be Yang Xueqing. You are also a beauty."
As soon as these words came out, Li Shanling's eyes and mouth opened slightly, before she could reply.
I heard a movement at the door.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the waiter open the door, and Xu Xiyu, wearing a simple white T-shirt, strolled in alone.
Upon seeing this situation, Li Shanling breathed a sigh of relief.
Just come alone.
It’s great that he came alone!
Immediately afterwards, Song Limin's words "You are also a beauty" echoed in her ears inexplicably.
But others were not like her. Those who were standing stepped forward one after another, and those who were sitting quickly stood up.
Accompanied by waves of greetings, Xu Xiyu walked to the main seat opposite the oversized round table and greeted everyone to sit down.
21 people, including many well-known A-list celebrities with countless fans.
Looking around at their expressions that were either anxious, fawning, or pretending to be natural.
In a daze, Xu Xiyu felt a little unreal.
After all, apart from Ke Xinying and Yang Xueqing, the artists I have interacted with in Huaqing for more than half a year are all little Kalami.
These people here are the real stars in the public's mouth.
But these celebrities now have to carefully pay attention to their emotions. This feeling is really indescribable.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu shook off the complicated thoughts, leaned back, smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it is really touching.
Those of us here, including me, all bear the label of Huaqing. But unfortunately, I only met Teacher Song Limin and Teacher Li Shanling once during the Spring Festival Gala.
Other teachers, I have only seen on TV. Some teachers even accompanied me during my childhood and study time. Now that I can sit here and have dinner with you all, it feels like a dream. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell into a strange silence for a moment.
Although Xu Xiyu's words were beautiful, everyone present could hear that Xu Xiyu was mocking their collective job-hopping.
The first sentence is so intense, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you later on.
However, everyone present was full of human beings. At this moment, Li Shanling suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Speaking of which, when I saw Mr. Xu at the Spring Festival Gala, I was absolutely shocked.
In our industry, there are many handsome guys, many talented people, and capable people are not uncommon. But there are many handsome, talented and capable people. In these years, Mr. Xu is the only one I have seen. ”
As soon as she said this, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, actually, I have long wanted to meet Mr. Xu and study hard with Mr. Xu. Several times, I have thought about contacting Mr. Xu.
But I always feel uneasy in my heart. After all, because of Qin Weiwu's persecution, I... Hey, I won't say it anymore, I got what I wanted today, and I must toast Mr. Xu a few more glasses later. ”
"Indeed, if I had known that Mr. Xu would take over Hua Qing, some things would not have developed like this. Everything is to blame on Qin Weiwu, who was not a good leader."
"To be honest, when Hua Qing was in decline for years because of the Qin and Wei rebellions, I saw it in my eyes and felt pain in my heart. Fortunately, now Hua Qing is thriving under the leadership of Mr. Xu, and I am really happy for Hua Qing. ”
Everyone present began to criticize "Qin Weiwu".
Xu Xiyu had to sigh, these people would really find a way out for him.
That's fine.
When Xu Xiyu comes over, he spends 90% of his time bragging and spanking. He will only do one thing that is truly meaningful. That is "random shooting".
When he came, he had already found out clearly that the vice director of Donghai was called Du Chenshuang. Xu Xiyu has never met or recognized this person, but I heard that he has a normal relationship with Qi Xiangyang.
In this case, Xu Xiyu was ready to talk nonsense.
He planned to find an opportunity later and said that he had found out clearly: "Du Chen and Du Chen did this, and the purpose was to instigate me and Mr. Qi to fight. Naturally, I can't be fooled like this."
The reason why Xu Xiyu did this is very simple, just to stir up trouble.
It doesn't matter whether he is Du Chenshuang or Liu Chenshuang, as long as he has a bad relationship with Qi Xiangyang, then there is room for instigation.
Of course, at this time, Xu Xiyu didn't know that Du Chenshuang really did it. He fired randomly just to stir up more troubles, and it was done casually.
The focus of provoking trouble was still on this group of artists.
Anyway, other than "spurring Du Chenshuang", he would not say or do anything during the dinner.
He believed that after the dinner, people from the East China Sea would definitely inquire about the news and ask him what he said and did at the dinner. But if the answers they get are all "I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything"; or "Xu Xiyu said that he found out that it was Du Chenshuang who did it."
If you were a senior executive or employee of Donghai, what would you think?
The fact was just as Xu Xiyu guessed.
At this time, over in the East China Sea, Qi Xiangyang and Du Chenshuang, including many people from the East China Sea who knew about this, were all thinking about Xu Xiyu inviting these artists to dinner.
Especially Du Chenshuang, after thinking about it for a while, he ran directly to Qi Xiangyang to bring this up on purpose.
"Mr. Qi, I don't understand. Are these people too unscrupulous? They all went to Xu Xiyu for dinner. What's the matter? They all want to imitate Yang Xueqing, right?"
Hearing this, Qi Xiangyang felt angry, but on the surface he still said calmly: "Some things are forced to be helpless. You are also an old man in the industry, so you have to understand them."
"Understand them? Are you forced to do nothing? In the final analysis, it is not a matter of one-sidedness. I was opposed to poaching Hua Qing at the beginning, but now that I see it, the problem has indeed been exposed."
"Lao Du, are you too impatient?" After listening to these accusations, Qi Xiangyang could no longer suppress his emotions and asked in a cold tone.
Du Chenshuang was not afraid of him. In half a year, Qi Xiangyang lost a lot of hearts among the employees of Laodonghai because he had to balance the interests of both parties.
Therefore, he wants to force Qi Xiangyang out of the chairman's position step by step before going public, so he can pick the peach himself.
I saw him say: "I am doing this for the good of the company. Who knows what they will plot at the wine table tonight, and what they promised to Xu Xiyu?"
"You will know what was said at the wine table when you come back and ask. We are all colleagues and part of Donghai. Sometimes it is better not to be suspicious of each other."
"I don't want to be suspicious, I'm just afraid that some people won't tell the truth." Du Chen said sarcastically.
"Whether you tell the truth or not, you can't help but make wild guesses here."
"Okay, I won't talk about this. Let's talk about another thing. Lao Qi, "Falling into the Abyss" is a project you want to do, right?"
Qi Xiangyang did not reply when he heard this, but looked at Du Chenshuang with cold eyes, waiting for his next words.
"This movie was made by Guan Jinfeng, and the actors and behind-the-scenes creators are all people from Huaqing. The movie will be released soon, and we in Laodonghai are all watching."
"What do you want to say?" Qi Xiangyang's tone became increasingly cold.
"Nothing, I just want to remind you that I just received the news that Xiao Moss Pictures, a subsidiary of Lu Qindao, has a movie called "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
I heard that the film has already been scheduled, and the release time is just a few days away from ours. It is estimated that the promotion and test screenings will start next week. ”
The preview in Du Chenshuang's mouth refers to an activity before screening. It is mainly an internal preview for some media, internal personnel and a small group of ordinary viewers.
Opinions will be collected during the preview process, and then based on these opinions, adjustments will be made to the feature film for release.
The preview version of many movies has dozens of minutes or even more than an hour more content than the theatrical version. There are also some preview versions of films where the special effects are not completely finished.
Of course, the test screening is Du Chenshuang's guess.
Xu Xiyu will not do test screenings here. He will only do previews for promotion. The reason is very simple. The test screening is to adjust the content of the main film, and he is afraid that the rhythm is not right in some places.
But Xu Xiyu has already watched the released version of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and has watched it more than once. He is already familiar with the rhythm and content, and there is no need to adjust. There is really no need to waste this time and energy.
However, Du Chenshuang didn't know these things, and he didn't care.
His purpose in mentioning this was to force Qi Xiangyang, but he continued: "The screenwriter of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is also named Yang Sanmei. This routine is exactly the same as "Crazy", and it is clearly Hua Qing's movie.
Mr. Qi, "Pengcheng 30 Years Old" and "Hurry Up" collided and lost miserably. If "Falling into the Abyss" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" collided, they would also lose. I'm afraid that the people within our company are unstable. ”
"What do you mean?" Qi Xiangyang asked without any emotion.
"Why don't we withdraw the film and avoid the limelight? Xu Xiyu is indeed quite talented. His movies, especially his first movie as chairman of Huaqing, may not be simple." Du Chenshuang said deliberately.
But when Qi Xiangyang heard this, he felt the veins on his forehead throb.
Withdraw?
Withdrawing is equivalent to telling everyone that you are afraid of Xu Xiyu. What is the difference between this and admitting defeat? How could he possibly do such a thing?
But if he doesn't withdraw his gear and loses to Xu Xiyu head-on, his face won't be much better.
The most important thing is that when Du Chenshuang brings this up now, he means to tell himself not to use the company's money to "buy box office" to improve the data. He will keep an eye on this.
If "Falling into the Abyss" has the ability, it will have a real fight with "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
To be honest, Qi Xiangyang has seen the feature film of "Falling into the Abyss". The film is actually quite good. It contains many elements of curiosity and pornography, and it is estimated that it can satisfy the interest of many viewers.
Therefore, Qi Xiangyang feels that even if he fights with real swords and guns, "Falling into the Abyss" may not lose.
But the question is, will Xu Xiyu do something evil?
Moreover, will Du Chenshuang cause trouble from within?
Thinking of this, a sense of irritation emerged from Qi Xiangyang again, and his eyes looked at Du Chenshuang even colder.
I saw him deliberately speaking: "Old Du, you don't know how to cheat on others and help others, do you?"
"What do you mean, don't blame me because the movie won't win at the box office, right?" Du Chen wouldn't be left unscathed.
You can't hide this kind of thing. Once it is revealed, you are likely to turn from active to passive.
The reason why he provoked Qi Xiangyang's generals now.
It's just a bet that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a good movie. As long as "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a good movie, it will affect the box office of "Into the Abyss".
If "Into the Abyss" wins in this case, it is possible that the box office will be better without competitors. Although the reality may not really be better, it makes sense logically.
At that time, he directly accused Qi Xiangyang of acting on his own initiative. He had clearly proposed to withdraw and postpone the plan, but he insisted on taking a gamble, causing damage to the company's income.
Therefore, if you lose, there's no need to worry about it. It's your fault, Qi Xiangyang.
If you win, first of all, this is Xu Xiyu's idea. If you copy someone else's idea and win, what's there to brag about?
Secondly, you can obviously earn more, but because of your own selfish desires, Qi Xiangyang affects the company's earnings and thus the listing process.
Xu Xiyu on the other side naturally didn't know that Qi Xiangyang and Du Chenshuang had already talked about "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
The atmosphere of their dinner party became more and more heated.
Everyone exchanged glasses and took turns running to the main table to toast Xu Xiyu.
There are also people who want to take advantage of the opportunity of private communication during the toast to find out something, but Xu Xiyu's answer is always: "It doesn't matter, I don't drink well, everyone is free to do it."
Just like that, I saw Li Shanling coming over with a cup in both hands.
Her figure is definitely not as exaggerated as Yang Xueqing's, but her skin is more delicate. I don't know whether it was intentional today or whether she likes to dress like this in normal times.
A loose collar, matching the action of bending down to toast Xu Xiyu.
Let Xu Xiyu's sight be instinctive.
Run towards the two swaying things.
It was impossible for Li Shanling not to feel Xu Xiyu's gaze.
Therefore, she made more small movements when toasting. She bent over and nodded while speaking, which looked like she was expressing respect to outsiders.
But only she and Xu Xiyu knew.
When she nodded.
The two cuties were also trembling non-stop.
When Song Limin saw this, she couldn't help but raise her lips. She knew that Qi Xiangyang also had thoughts about Li Shanngling, and now she had eliminated a potential competitor.
When he goes back, he will tell Qi Xiangyang that Li Shanling is hooking up with Xu Xiyu.
However, this is not the point. The point is, how should I report the dinner to Qi Xiangyang when I go back?
Xu Xiyu, this grandson, is just bragging.
It looks like you are here to enjoy everyone's flattery. How should you report this?
