Chapter 384 I’ll find an immortal to calculate it for you
For an upcoming movie.
What are you most afraid of?
Naturally, I am most afraid of losing the heat.
At this time, "Infernal Affairs" seems to be facing this embarrassing situation.
Seeing the scene where everyone was running to eat the food from #张崽合organized prostitution#, Cheng Guangzu, the boss of Jiahe, was anxiously running around in the office.
In such a hurry, he slapped the table and cursed loudly: "The street boy, if you don't sell it sooner or later, why sell it at this time? He robbed all the popularity!"
Listening to Cheng Guangzu's scolding, Liu Yongzhe, the director of "Infernal Affairs" comforted: "It's okay, Brother Zu, this kind of news will pass soon, don't rush it."
"It can't be fast. It will take at least a week or two to recover. Time is life. The time for screening and promotion is only so long. If Zhang Tonghe's incident robs a week of popularity, it will be too uncomfortable.
< br>
More importantly, the money we announced has already been invested. If we fail to get the expected popularity, it will be equivalent to another loss. "Cheng Guangzu scratched his head as he spoke.
This is where things get so painful.
The choice of when a movie will be announced, when it will be screened, and when it will be released to the public is usually determined in advance. All work is done according to determined time points.
Therefore, when faced with Zhang Tonghe's unexpected situation, it was really difficult to react, and there was no way to adjust the time, so he had to bite the bullet.
Thinking of this, Cheng Guangzu asked again: "How long does it take for Mr. Xu to arrive?"
Hearing this question, Liu Yongzhe raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's almost there. The driver said it was almost there more than ten minutes ago."
That's right, the first scene of "Infernal Affairs" was screened here in Hong Kong.
This is what Cheng Guangzu strongly requested, because in the movie "Infernal Affairs", he placed more than just box office expectations.
He hopes that all audiences and colleagues in Hong Kong can see his efforts to revive Hong Kong films.
This is very important. People live by their faces, especially for old-school businessmen like Cheng Guangzu, who take face very seriously.
It is precisely because there are too many expectations for "Infernal Affairs".
Therefore, the Zhang Tonghe incident that suddenly appeared to grab the attention made him feel so uncomfortable.
After suffering like this for about fifteen minutes, Liu Yongzhe suddenly said: "Brother Zu, Mr. Xu and the others are almost downstairs."
"Let's go down and pick someone up." Cheng Guangzu quickly walked out of the office without any hesitation after hearing this, and asked a few senior executives to accompany him and walked downstairs.
On the other side, in a black nanny car, Xu Xiyu and Jiang Yue were sitting side by side.
Since there is no Hua Qing actor in "Infernal Affairs", Jiahe and Yongsheng found them all.
Therefore, they were the only representatives of Huaqing who came to Xiangjiang this time.
Shan Xinbao, who had been following him all the time, was left in the company. Xu Xiyu could remotely control her to exercise some of the rights of the chairman on his behalf. This was also one of Dong Zhu's basic tasks, so it was nothing special.
In addition, Xu Xiyu only took Jiang Yue with him because he wanted to keep her with him for a while to train her.
At this time, the two people were also talking about Zhang Tonghe.
While chatting, Jiang Yue made a guess that made Xu Xiyu a little bit dumbfounded.
"You mean, Bu Zhaojie will definitely find a way to blame this matter on me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yue nodded with absolute certainty and said: "Based on what I know about him, he called me as soon as possible last night with the purpose of putting the responsibility on me.
Later, Zhang Tonghe’s incident was exposed by us. His first reaction must be that he thinks I can't handle this, so he will definitely push it on you. ”
"Really?" Xu Xiyu fell into thinking after hearing this.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked curiously: "Based on your understanding of him, how would he reason?"
"Do you still remember what Qin Weiwu did after it was revealed that he liked sleeping with his subordinate's wife?" Jiang Yue did not reply directly.
When the Qin Weiwu incident broke out last time, buddy Bu Zhaojie directly revealed that "Jiang Yue was cheated". Then he successfully earned himself the nickname "Green".
As a result, Xu Xiyu immediately reacted and said: "You mean, he will follow what he did before and reveal that he was under my instructions to contact Mao Gaojun and Zhang Tonghe?"
"Yes, absolutely." Jiang Yue judged that there might be something wrong with other things.
But guessing Zhaojie's behavior is now an accurate guess. It can only be said that they are worthy of being a couple for many years. Hearing this, Xu Xiyu started thinking again. After thinking for a while, he suddenly became happy.
Feeling happy, he was about to say something to Jiang Yue, but found that the car had stopped. Turning around, he saw Cheng Guangzu and several people standing at the door to greet him.
So, he swallowed his words, took Jiang Yue out of the car, and went upstairs with Cheng Guangzu and others while chatting.
After a few minutes.
The group arrived at Cheng Guangzu's office.
As soon as he sat down, he saw old Cheng looking at Xu Xiyu with an embarrassed look on his face: "Mr. Xu, it's been a bad year. It's really a bad year!" "Why do you say that suddenly?" Xu Xiyu asked Cheng Guangzu dumbfounded.
"Look, the two projects you have on hand this year, "The Beginning", were going well. But as they were about to be released, Zhang Wenyan suddenly had an accident. Now our "Infernal Affairs" has just been screened, and something like Zhang Tonghe came up to hinder it.
This is really a bad year. Hey, Mr. Xu, if I remember correctly, is this your zodiac year? "Cheng Guangzu continued with an embarrassed face.
"Yes, it's the year of the animal." Xu Xiyu is 24 this year, isn't it the year of the animal?
"I said, the reason must be here." Cheng Guangzu patted his forehead.
Then he turned to Liu Yongzhe and said, "Ayong, let's make arrangements. After Mr. Xu and Mr. Jiang take a break, we will go to Wong Tai Sin Temple to pay our respects later. By the way, let's check with the master to see if Mr. Xu is in conflict with Mr. Zhang. .”
"??" Jiang Yue was dumbfounded. What is this? Why are you dragging people to worship the gods when you have just arrived and haven't even talked about anything serious yet?
Moreover, what is the conflict with the surname Zhang?
As for Xu Xiyu, he understands Cheng Guangzu's behavior. Xiangjiang people, especially businessmen, do believe this.
However, he has no intention of worshiping any gods now.
So, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "Brother Zu, don't be busy for now. Zhang is a popular surname. If I remember correctly, this surname has the third largest population in the country. It is normal to meet two people with the surname Zhang."
"Two? No, didn't you have conflicts with the oil king Zhang Yiyuan before? Isn't this a conflict?" Cheng Guangzu immediately shook his head.
"..." As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiyu was put in trouble.
As for Jiang Yue next to him, he burst out laughing. Boy, this is so humorous, this connection has been found.
I saw her smiling and saying to Cheng Guangzu: "Brother Zu, don't worry, things are not as troublesome as you think. Just wait patiently and things will definitely turn around."
"Yes, Brother Zu, what you have to do now is to do the screening according to the previous plan. Don't think about other things. It's useless to think too much." Xu Xiyu said helplessly.
Hearing both of them say this, Cheng Guangzu's expression was a little tangled.
It's not that he thought there was anything wrong with what the two said.
After all, the matter of Zhang Tonghe is really big, and this is not some entertainment news. As more and more details are revealed, this is proper social and legal news, and it has attracted a lot of attention.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much money is spent on the promotion of "Infernal Affairs", it will be difficult to gain any attention from the Zhang Tonghe incident.
Moreover, Cheng Guangzu did not lack patience.
But the problem is, he is still waiting for "Infernal Affairs" to give him a bad breath!
Thinking of this, he sat on the sofa and took a sip from the teacup.
He said to the two of them: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Jiang, it's not that I don't know these truths. However, I have endured the bad breath for more than half a year."
"Evil?" Xu Xiyu asked curiously, "Who in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang dares to give you bad breath?"
"Wu Youjin, do you still remember?" Cheng Guangzu asked.
"Of course." Xu Xiyu nodded.
Wu Youjin was the first Hong Kong entertainment person to approach Xu Xiyu to discuss cooperation at that time, and was the boss of Queen Entertainment.
As mentioned before, he came to Xu Xiyu to discuss cooperation through Tuo Ke Xinying's relationship. But after hearing that Xu Xiyu was going to make a Hong Kong style film, he hesitated again.
After hesitating and hesitating, he came up with the operation of "don't ask the people, ask the ghosts and gods".
I found a master to predict Xu Xiyu's fortune. The final conclusion reached was that "Xu Xiyu is in transit and is about to face a catastrophe."
Originally, Wu Youjin didn't want to make a Hong Kong-style film. He was just greedy for the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and hoped that Xu Xiyu could lead him to make big things with his small skills.
Now I heard that Xu Xiyu has another "catastrophe".
He gave up the idea of cooperation in an instant.
The day after he gave up, Cheng Guangzu went directly to Xu Xiyu, and then quickly led Yongsheng and Hua Qing to reach a cooperation.
However, Xu Xiyu didn't know these things clearly.
All he knew was that Wu Youjin was chatting with him and nothing was going on.
Therefore, now that he heard Cheng Guangzu mentioning Wu Youjin, Xu Xiyu asked curiously: "What happened to him?"
"What else is going on? From the time I talked about the cooperation with you on "Infernal Affairs" until now. For almost a year, he has been doing evil behind the scenes.
What if this time our movie failed to generate buzz in the early stages of publicity? In the Xiangjiang market, it is likely to fail and the box office will be very poor. "Cheng Guangzhu said, his face obviously turned red and warm.
Hearing this, Xu Xiyu frowned: "No, I didn't understand. You know the quality of "Infernal Affairs" well. Will Hong Kong audiences still not support such a good Hong Kong film?"
Thanks to the leader of [Warrior Wilde of Love], I offer tea to the boss!
