Chapter 385: It’s better to believe me
Talk about it.
At the beginning, Wu Youjin looked at the cooperation between Cheng Guangzu and Xu Xiyu as a joke.
After all, the master said that Xu Xiyu had a "catastrophe".
But as time slowly passed, he realized something was wrong.
What about the "catastrophe" that was promised.
How does Xu Xiyu's "rising up" look look like he is facing a catastrophe?
After realizing that he might have made a mistake in judgment, Wu Youjin, unwilling to accept it, began to inquire about the content of "Infernal Affairs".
The Hong Kong community is indeed small. With his status, even though Cheng Guangzu was on every possible precaution, after a lot of effort, he still pieced together the complete script of "Infernal Affairs".
As soon as he got the script and read it, he almost broke his leg.
It would be an understatement to say that I feel regretful to the extreme.
However, for people like him, regret does not mean admitting his mistakes. Rather than admitting that he was short-sighted, his first reaction was to blame Cheng Guangzu.
Ever since, he was in the Hong Kong circle.
When meeting people, they would say things like "Cheng Guangzu doesn't follow the moral principles of the world. He clearly went to discuss cooperation with Xu Xiyu first, but the cooperation was not finished yet. He went to cut off the beard, which is really inappropriate."
Not only Cheng Guangzu.
In private, they also used various methods to smear Xu Xiyu, saying that "Mainland boys just have no credit and are not careful in business negotiations."
And because in Xiangjiang, there are many players who are immersed in the glory of the past and can't extricate themselves.
In the last century, even ordinary people from the lower class in Xiangjiang had nothing to do when they came to the mainland.
Young people may not know clearly, but older people should have an impression. In many places, there is a street of mistresses. These mistresses basically open a clothing store or something.
And a considerable number of those who support them are from Xiangjiang.
It definitely won’t work now.
Therefore, after losing the "sense of superiority" in the practical sense. A considerable number of people will seek a false sense of superiority through exclusion, abuse, and belittling behaviors.
Based on the above reasons, Wu Youjin's words to smear Xu Xiyu are easily recognized.
Due to his frequent slanders over the past six months, Xu Xiyu's reputation in Xiangjiang is not very good.
The nickname "King of Soft Rice", which is no longer mentioned in the mainland, has taken on a new life in Hong Kong's entertainment tabloids.
The soft rice king is quite polite, and some tabloids call him the "mainland duck king".
Of course, being a public figure in Hong Kong and being nicknamed by tabloids is nothing. After all, it’s not like they haven’t come up with even more unpleasant nicknames.
But what Cheng Guangzu couldn't bear the most was Wu Youjin's publicity that "Infernal Affairs" was not considered a Hong Kong film.
The purpose of promoting this statement is to block both ends.
If "Infernal Affairs" becomes a big hit, then use the saying "it is not a Hong Kong film" to cool down "Infernal Affairs" and eliminate Cheng Guangzu's contribution to the revival of Hong Kong films.
At the same time, it can also dispel the enthusiasm of those viewers who feel that if a good Hong Kong film is produced, they should support a ticket and support the revival of Hong Kong films. Ultimately, it will affect the box office of "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong.
If "Infernal Affairs" becomes popular, there will be more theories, such as Cheng Guangzu and Xu Xiyu don't respect the moral principles of the world, and now God has eyes.
Anyway, the main focus is an all-round three-dimensional defense that disgusts you.
Based on all the above, Cheng Guangzu was really anxious not to be angered to death by Wu Youjin.
He tried his best to hide these things from Xu Xiyu, for fear of making Xu Xiyu feel that he couldn't even handle this in Xiangjiang.
What's more, I'm afraid that after Xu Xiyu learns about these things, he will say something like "I finally know why Xiangjiang Movie is over."
Cheng Guangzu really knows how to listen to this kind of words.
As for Xu Xiyu himself, his usual attention is basically focused on the mainland. After all, the Xiangjiang film market is too small, and with a local snake like Cheng Guangzu supporting it, how can he care about things here.
Due to the combination of various factors, he had never heard of this until now.
After listening, he said with an expression as if he was constipated: "Did he come here because he was crazy? Is there something wrong with him?"
"There's something wrong!" Cheng Guangzu cursed in agreement, and then continued, "That's why I'm worried that if we don't do a good job in announcing it, it will lead to a defeat."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Yue glanced at Xu Xiyu first, then smiled and said: "Brother Zu, I think you may be too worried, not to mention whether Wu Youjin's goal can be achieved. Even if "Infernal Affairs" is in Xiangjiang There was no box office revenue, so the impact was actually not big. Our main market is the mainland.”
Hearing this, Cheng Guangzu opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
How could he not understand what Jiang Yue said.
The problem is, it’s unlucky, really unlucky!
Everything has to start smoothly, and "Infernal Affairs" had such a bad beginning, plus "The Beginning" happened first.
He was very worried that Xu Xiyu's bad luck would radiate to "Infernal Affairs", causing some incidents after the Zhang Tonghe incident to suppress the popularity of "Infernal Affairs".
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and suggested tactfully again: "Well, what about that, Mr. Jiang? Wong Tai Sin Temple is our famous scenic spot in Xiangjiang. It's rare for you to come to our place. It would be a pity not to go and visit."
This is said politely.
But the meaning is still the same, that is, to drag Xu Xiyu to worship the gods for luck.
Therefore, after hearing this, Jiang Yue thought it would be okay to go and have a look.
After all, Wong Tai Sin Temple is indeed a famous attraction in Hong Kong. After going, it just happened to go along with Cheng Guangzu's wishes and make him feel relieved.
Ever since, she opened her mouth and was about to agree, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
no.
Can't go!
You can go to Wong Tai Sin Temple anytime, but you can’t go now.
If you go now.
Next, as long as all the work that I and Xiyu do on "Infernal Affairs" is effective, all the credit will go to Cheng Guangzu.
From his perspective, he would definitely be thinking, "If I hadn't taken you to worship the gods for luck, you would have continued to be unlucky!"
This will definitely not work.
Xiyu cannot bear the reputation of being "unlucky". You must know that there are not only superstitious people in Xiangjiang.
Moreover, there is another point, what if Huaqing’s employees and Xiyu’s fans are also led astray?
He has struggled until now, regardless of his love life. Everyone's impression of him is that he is capable, talented, and capable. This is a good positioning.
There is no need to add the impression that "he will be unlucky without the help of the immortal". This is not a good impression.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue was about to refuse.
But Xu Xiyu was the first to shake his head and said: "Brother Zu, I understand what you mean and I understand your worries, but I won't go to Wong Tai Sin Temple yet."
Hearing this, Cheng Guangzu just wanted to persuade him again.
But Xu Xiyu stood up, raised his head slightly, deliberately looked at her with a look of disdain, and raised the corners of his mouth and said: "In my opinion, instead of trusting gods in this project of "Infernal Affairs", you might as well trust me!"
To be honest, he looks extremely pretentious now, and he does so on purpose.
But his pretentious demeanor and those words just now made Jiang Yue's eyes almost starry.
Just when she was starry-eyed, another sentence came to her ears: "Jiang Yue, let's go back to the hotel first."
"Hey!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue stood up and followed without any hesitation.
Cheng Guangzu and Liu Yongzhe were dumbfounded.
No, buddy?
I knew you were crazy, but I didn’t expect you to be so crazy!
Before they could recover, Xu Xiyu had already arrived at the door of the office.
I saw him opening the door, turning around and pointing his fingers at the two of them with a faint smile: "Arrange the screening work of "Infernal Affairs", and I will take care of everything else."
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly with Jiang Yue without waiting for the two of them to reply.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Cheng Guangzu was stunned for a while, then turned to Liu Yongzhe with his mouth wide open and said: "Hey, are all the young people in mainland China so confident now?"
"I don't know." Liu Yongzhe shrugged, somewhat dumbfounded.
"I saw that the nicknames in the gossip tabloids were wrong. The mainland duck king is simply the mainland duck king." Cheng Guangzu couldn't laugh or cry.
No, this is too pretentious.
I don't believe that you can still gain popularity in the Zhang Tonghe incident.
