Chapter 394: Fighting for Stephen Chow
Does Zhang Chen hate Wu Yusen?
In fact, I don’t hate it, I just hate it.
Just like treating smelly dog shit, I wish I could hide away.
But the stinky shit always pops up and disgusts him when he is eating, which is very annoying.
If the other party fucks him one after another, he will definitely return the favor.
The most direct way is to dig into the other party's foundation.
Aren't you going to make "Red Cliff"? I made it impossible for Chengtian to acquire Jiahe. Let's see how you make it?
He even wanted to grab the project and shoot it himself in advance~
His soul is from 2023. People at that time, after various baptisms on the Internet, had long lost their fear of authority.
After 2010, the most valuable thing is the word ‘expert’.
Not to mention Wu Yusen, who has won the global box office championship, even if Cameron, the king of the world, pretends to be a dad in front of him, he will still scold him~
A common problem among reborn people is that they cannot bear any grievance.
In addition, he was listed as "persona non grata" at the Hong Kong Film Awards, which is not very lethal and extremely insulting.
This revenge must be avenged.
After he acquires Golden Harvest, he will definitely cause trouble in Hong Kong, and more and more people will rely on him to make a living.
We will announce at that time that Jiahe will not attend the Academy Awards ceremony. We will see the expressions of the Academy Awards.
If you show off like me, you will be struck by lightning!
"When you get back, you immediately start researching this matter, and then go talk to Zou Wenhuai. Remember to enter the village quietly, and don't let anyone shoot you~"
Zhang Chen really wanted to see Wu Kebo's expression when he arrived. By the time Chengtian reacted, his home had already been stolen.
"Okay~" Dong Jianqiang agreed, and fighting spirit surged in his heart.
Jiahe is no longer the original Jiahe. After Cheng Long left, it was reduced to the second line. Now it has shrunk greatly, but it is just a tiger that can't fall down and is just holding on.
"In terms of funds, we should still have some surplus in our account~"
Dong Jianqiang nodded: "There are still almost 70 million. In addition, in more than a month, the box office share of "Hurricane" will arrive, and the funds will be more sufficient by then..."
Zhang Chen nodded when he heard that the funds were sufficient.
He actually wasn't worried about funding at all.
There are so many companies that want to get involved in his movies, even Lao Li has mentioned it several times.
You must know that Li, the richest man, had just become the richest man in the coal province two days ago and made a full 600 million by exchanging shares in Minsheng Bank. It was a time of high spirits.
He didn't like the small amount of money in the entertainment industry. After learning that Lao Li had made tens of millions by investing in "Hurricane", he immediately said that he would not take away the profits. Instead, he gave Lao Li tens of millions more to make whatever he wanted. .
You are so rich and willful.
By the way, his father also needs to be informed when the time comes.
His father and his coal boss friends followed his advice and built three movie theaters, preparing to enter the theater industry.
They were planning to join Dadi Cinemas, but they only signed an intention contract.
Dadi Cinema Line is a small theater chain that was newly established last year. It is taking the path of surrounding the cities from the countryside.
Other theater chains started from large ticket warehouse cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, while Dadi Cinema Line chose to start from second- and third-tier small cities.
The cinema is still under construction.
It didn't matter if I didn't have a theater network before. Now that I'm planning to do this, of course the money won't go to outsiders.
……
What Zhang Chen didn't know was that during the time he left, Hong Kong was already in turmoil.
At the beginning, the media reported on the Academy Awards, the winner of Best Actor and Best Actress, the Best Director went to Johnnie To who was not giving him face, and there was even news about Zhang Chenshen’s prediction...
But soon, the focus of the coverage changed from the Academy Awards to the Academy Awards dinner.
The conflict between Zhang Chen and Wu Zeng was exposed~
[Mainland directors openly beat people at the Academy Awards dinner...]
This is the media that is hostile to Zhang Chen.
[A dispute broke out at the Academy Awards dinner, Zhang Chen scolded Wu Yusen for throwing a tantrum~]
This is obviously provocative.
[Zhang Chen caused a scene at the Hong Kong Academy Awards dinner, and the chairman of the Academy resigned in anger~]
This is a complete reversal of right and wrong.
[Wu once accused Liang Jiahui and Zhang Dao of violent guardianship~]
This is towards Zhang Chen.
Almost all the various newspapers in Hong Kong reported on the scene at the Hong Kong Academy Awards dinner, but there was not a single photo.
The dinner is an in-house gathering and no media is allowed to enter.
However, every media outlet described it vividly and vividly, as if they had personally experienced it.
People who eat melons gradually pieced together the complete puzzle of this incident from various versions of reports:
Tsang Chi Wai and Wu Yusen accused Tony Leung Ka Fai of not taking care of Hong Kong movies but going to make mainland movies. The great mainland director Zhang Chen quit the job and caught the two of them and scolded them.
It was obviously one against two, but the side with the smaller number had the upper hand, and every word they spoke could make the two opponents break their defense.
Hong Kong gossip fans couldn't be happier.
They don't care who takes charge, they just like to watch the fun.
Celebrities scolding each other is rare even in impetuous Hong Kong.
Hong Kong’s melon-eating masses don’t take sides, but Hong Kong celebrities do.
They have always had a tradition of taking sides.
They sided with Stephen Chow in the Taipei incident, they also sided with Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo, and this time is no exception.
Many people stand unequivocally on the side of Eric Tsang and Ng Yusen, a well-known Hollywood director and a big shot in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
In comparison, Liang Jiahui is just an actor. Even if he wins the Best Actor, so what, after all, he is just an actor.
Coupled with the public statement by the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee, which listed Zhang Chen as "person not welcome at the Hong Kong Film Awards", Tsang and Wu Yifang became even more powerful.
Many people are clamoring for Zhang Chen to apologize, or that Hong Kong does not welcome such mainlanders.
Zhang Chen was like a rat crossing the street. For a while, even if anyone wanted to stand up and support Zhang Chen and Liang Jiahui, they didn't dare.
Zhang Chen's side was like a small boat in the big waves, teetering on the edge of collapse, while Liang Jiahui stayed behind closed doors and did not see any guests.
The turmoil in Hong Kong quickly spread to the mainland. Many unscrupulous media in the mainland have always used Hong Kong media as their benchmark.
Listening to the wind is like rain.
Before we even figured out what was going on, there was a bunch of publicity.
The scolding about the Academy Awards dinner instantly spawned countless versions and began to circulate through various channels.
Then there is a trend of taking sides in the mainland.
But what is different from Hong Kong is that the people on the mainland are basically fans. All the celebrities seem to have fallen asleep collectively, and no one said anything.
[Zhang Chen is really uneducated. The Academy Awards kindly invited him to present the award, but he was ungrateful and instead made a scene at the venue. It was simply an embarrassment to the mainland people~]
[I am a fan of Zhang Chen. I have watched every one of his movies, but this time, I really think he did something wrong~]
[The most bizarre director in the Mainland~] [Why are there so many people who criticize Zhang Chen? I think Zhang Chen is right. Wu Yusen and Eric Tsang just deserve to be scolded~]
[There is talk in the news about the actress Eric Tsang, can any kind person tell us in detail? Who is this? 】
[Director Zhang is domineering and supports Director Zhang~]
Mainland netizens are obviously divided into two groups, those who support Zhang Chen and those who criticize Zhang Chen. Each expresses his or her own opinion and is noisy on the Internet.
After all, Wu Yusen is a leading figure in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles, and he has returned from Hollywood with great success, so he still has a group of loyal fans.
Especially now that Chengtian relies on him to cheat money, Wu Kebo stands clearly on his side and has found many sailors.
Chen Xi immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately bought a navy to fight back.
The Internet suddenly became lively.
There are also some agencies that have failed. The painting of "Red Cliff" was really good. They knew that they would definitely not be able to match Zhang Chen, so they thought about whether they could stick with Wu Yusen.
But more stars have remained silent.

One is the inequality of status.
Two great directors are quarreling. It seems that neither of them can do anything to the other, but if they dare to interfere, they will be killed in minutes.
It was more because of the truths revealed by Zhang Chen.
Yes, Cheng Tian was clamoring for a heroine, reconstructing the script, and investing 600 million. However, after clamoring for more than half a year, there was no accurate news about the project being approved.
Could it be that Zhang Chen was really right and the other party had no money at all?
Many male and female celebrities who have been fed cakes are intentionally or unintentionally confirming the reliability of this news, or asking acquaintances, or asking their agents to go out and inquire, just to find out the truth and whether they have been deceived.
But no matter from which aspect, the news that comes back is not good news.
It seems like I was really deceived~
For a time, everyone's opinion of Wu Yusen and Chengtian Entertainment dropped to the lowest level. Some of the hot-tempered ones even called them directly to scold them.
……
Zhang Chen didn't know this at all, he had just gotten off the plane.
Dong Jianqiang and others returned to the company, while Zhang Chen and Mr. Zhou had to change flights and go straight to Yinchuan to rush back to the crew to continue the filming of "Painted Skin".
But what they didn't expect was that at this moment of turning around, they would be blocked by reporters again.
"Director Zhang, Hong Kong and China are now discussing the scolding war at the Academy Awards dinner last night. Can you explain..."
"Oh, what did they say?"
He had just gotten off the plane, and he didn't know that the news had been spread back to the mainland, or how it was spread.
"The Hong Kong media are generally saying that Director Zhang is arrogant and domineering, and went to the Hong Kong Film Awards to act wild. They also classified you as persona non grata. Many Hong Kong stars have lined up to support Wu Yusen and Eric Tsang..."
"What about the mainland?"
"The celebrities in the Mainland have not expressed their opinions, but there has been a huge quarrel on the Internet. Netizens are divided into two groups. One group supports you and thinks you are right, and the other group, you know..."
The reporter was afraid of saying something inappropriate and irritating Zhang Chen, so he didn't dare to finish his sentence.
Zhang Chen smiled and continued to ask: "Did they report all my speech at the airport?"
"It's been reported. Many people in China are now calling for Wu Kebo to come out and confront you~"
Zhang Chen laughed and laughed: "Then I have nothing to say. What should be said has been expressed before."
Seeing that Zhang Chen was unwilling to be interviewed, the reporter immediately quit.
"Director Zhang, please tell me a little bit. I finally found this opportunity. They say you are a friend of the media. Please help me too~"
Seeing the reporter looking pitiful, Zhang Chen was really embarrassed and walked away.
Mr. Zhou next to him simply stopped and looked at Zhang Chen with his big eyes. What do you mean, you should say a few words to others.
Everyone looked like this, so Zhang Chen had no choice but to stop: "Then let me talk about the Academy Awards. No one has mentioned this."
"Okay, okay~" The reporter nodded without hesitation.
Zhang Chen continued: "When I first walked on the red carpet, I was embarrassed by the host and asked about the fact that "Taken" was not nominated for a major award. At that time, I said that the Academy Awards were biased against action movies. < br>
Originally I didn’t want to say more about it, because not long after it happened, the then Chairman of the Academy Awards, Mr. Wen Jun, came to apologize to me face to face, saying that this was not the intention of the Academy Awards.
In view of Mr. Wenjun's past actions, I believe it.
But then the Hong Kong Film Awards organizing committee classified me as persona non grata, and Mr. Wen Jun had resigned as chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, so I felt there was no need to save face for the Hong Kong Film Awards..."
The reporter became inexplicably excited and vaguely felt that he was about to eat a big melon again.
"The selection mechanism of the Academy Awards is actually very problematic. It only favors feature films and rejects other types of films.
Otherwise, only Chow Yun-fat won the Best Actor award in two weeks, and he won it three times.
Stephen Chow only won it once, and Cheng Long was even worse, not even once.
Those are Cheng Long and Stephen Chow. How are they worse than Chow Yun-fat?
I have fought for Cheng Longming before, but this time I will talk about Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow has been nominated for Best Actor in the Academy Awards 7 times and has been a running star 6 times. Only at the 21st Awards did he win the Best Actor Award for "Shaolin Soccer".
And not only Best Actor, but also a total of 7 awards including Best Director, Best Young Actor, etc.
In the past few times, the reason for defeat was because the judges thought the expressions of the characters he played were too exaggerated.
OK, the judges didn't like this style of acting.
In the 21st edition, "Shaolin Football" won the best actor crown. He must have thought that the judges finally accepted his nonsensical style.
But no.
Miss Zhang Minyi, the presenter at the time, actually revealed the truth when she presented the award. She said to Stephen Chow at the time, I am very happy to present this award to you because you have made many Hong Kong people laugh when they are unhappy.
Haha, why do you say that?
Because in 2002, just after the Asian financial crisis, Hong Kong was also in a period of recovery, especially the Hong Kong film industry, which was in a period of extreme weakness. However, the emergence of "Shaolin Soccer" was a success during the recession. With a box office of 60 million, it can be said to be a shot in the arm for Hong Kong movies.
You see.
The Hong Kong Film Awards are still the original Hong Kong Film Awards. They have never liked Stephen Chow. The reason why "Shaolin Football" won the award is because it was a special period. Awarding "Shaolin Football" has a certain political significance.
If it weren't for this reason, Stephen Chow might not have a chance to win an Academy Award in this life.
When I say this, some people will definitely argue with me and say that Stephen Chow failed to win the Best Actor because his acting skills were not good enough.
In fact, the way to judge whether the acting skills are good or not is very simple. You just need to see whether the person can be replaced.
Would the same effect have been achieved if the emperor played by Director Chen had been replaced by someone else?
If Cheng Long's movie replaced the protagonist with someone else, would it still be as good?
In Stephen Chow's movies, no one can suppress his brilliance.
Why do those movie kings never cooperate with Stephen Chow? Because they know that in Stephen Chow's movies, only Stephen Chow is the protagonist. Anyone, no matter how heavy your role is, acting with him, you can only be reduced to a supporting role.
Got it? ”
The reporter nodded, then shook his head.
"But Director Zhang, I remember you don't like Stephen Chow?"
"It's not that I don't like him as a person, it's not that I don't like his movies. I still like to watch his movies. Let's discuss the matter today. What we're talking about is that the Academy Awards are not professional enough. It's about watching someone else's dish. You Don’t go off topic~”
