Baidu Tieba, Zhang Chen Bar
A gathering place for Zhang Chen’s fans
A post suddenly appeared quietly and was immediately pinned to the top.
The post was posted by the forum owner ‘Qingcheng Wuji’:

The post quickly received a large number of responses from bar friends. After seeing the news in the morning, they knew that there would be activities in the bar.
Sure enough...
The people who often come and hang out in the bar are Zhang Chen's most loyal fans. Those who like Zhang Chen's big guns are not good at themselves and have a strong will to fight.
Soon, Zhang Chen fans appeared in various forums fighting.

[I am really disappointed with Zhang Chen. So many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are on the opposite side of him. It must be his fault~]
This is the most popular post, and there are a lot of people below who agree with it.
Suddenly, a netizen with the ID ‘I am your uncle’ left a message:
[Fuck you licking dog, believe whatever your Hong Kong father says, you idiot~]
Not all the bar friends are of high quality. Many of them believe in magic attacks, and they deal a lot of damage when they come up. You have to be reasonable. I'm sorry, but I'm not being unreasonable.

The same netizen with the ID of "bringing a knife but not an umbrella on a rainy night" posted a post:
[A collection of indecent photos of all Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, please download]
Quickly, the number of downloads increased significantly, and many curious netizens secretly downloaded it.
But when they finished unzipping and clicked on it, they were all dumbfounded.
There was not a single indecent photo, but there were a lot of photos of celebrities.
There is also some dirty information about the star on the photo, indicating that this one slept with Eric Tsang and that one was Wu Yusen’s lackey~
A lot of people left comments and scolded me. Somewhere, a guy named Yao snickered. It’s a good thing I didn’t give you gourd babies.
Of course, not all bar friends play cards out of common sense.
It’s more civilized under the banyan tree. Someone posted:
[Those who scolded Zhang Chen, come and watch, I will analyze it for you one by one, why the Academy Awards are so muddy that they can’t hold up the wall]
This is how polite people behave when they quarrel.
The post attracted a lot of attention as soon as it appeared, and the number of clicks soared. The people inside were so noisy that they were flying all over the place, and they were quickly overwhelmed by a lot of greetings.
Well, even educated people will curse when pushed.
In addition to Zhang Chen's bar, the "Hurricane Rescue" bar is also in a similar situation.
Although they scolded Zhang Chen every day for not doing his job properly and delaying filming "Hurricane 2", they still quite recognized Zhang Chen himself.
What's more, you guys actually dare to criticize the male protagonist of "Hurricane". On behalf of "Hurricane", we are going to piss you all off.
The other thing is to defend the martial arts director of "Hurricane" Rui An. "Hurricane" did not win the best action design. Are the judges of the Academy Awards collectively blind?
The barmates of "Hurricane" fight all over the world, creating battlefields everywhere to vent their anger. Occasionally, they will meet barmate Zhang Chen, who is quarrelsome with other scholars, and will lend a helping hand.
The brothers fought back to back against evil from all sides.
Well, let’s make the storm more violent~

Hong Kong, Victoria Peak
In Stephen Chow's mansion, Zhang Chen's voice surrounded him, and reports about Zhang Chen were being broadcast on TV.
[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... 】
Stephen Chow once again recalled that award ceremony. It should have been his highlight moment, but it became his darkest moment.
But he doesn't hate Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen just told the truth.
The Academy Awards really look down on him.
In fact, what saddened him the most was not the "Kung Fu Football" episode, but the 1992 "Death Judge" episode.
There weren't any decent literary films in Hong Kong that year, and many people predicted that Stephen Chow would be the best actor that year, and he thought so too.
However, the final result was that Liang Jiahui won the best actor with "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose". The key is that the film itself is also nonsensical.
Tony Leung has also become the only person in Hong Kong film history to defeat Stephen Chow in the comedy field.
It can be seen that Stephen Chow is not welcome at the Academy Awards.
From then on, he actually understood clearly the prejudice, or in other words, the deep malice of the Academy Awards towards him.
Regarding this matter, even Liang Jiahui was quite frightened.
No joke, in the field of comedy, he still beat Stephen Chow with his nonsensical style, he felt that this actor was quite good.
So later, during an interview, Tony Leung specifically said that I can play many different types of roles, but Stephen Chow can play a bad movie.
He can make the audience only pay attention to him and ignore the quality of a film.
This is already a very high evaluation, and it comes from an actor.
From then on, the proverb "one actor a year, one hundred years Stephen Chow" was born.
……
Liang Jiahui’s home
The reporters who came outside were all stopped outside by the property security, "Sorry, Mr. Liang Jiahui is not at home. Please go back."
"You lied, we know he is at home, Cheng Long just went in~"
In the house, by the window, Liang Jiahui reluctantly lowered the corner of the curtain, "I blame you. If you didn't come, they would definitely believe it~"
Cheng Long touched his big nose and smiled sheepishly: "Okay, don't be angry if you blame me. Didn't you see that I brought wine here? Let's have a drink..."< br>
Cheng Long opened the wine as he spoke and filled a glass for himself and Liang Jiahui.
"I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. I didn't attend the dinner because I had something to do. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have let you be bullied by those gangs. This is my apology..."
As Cheng Long drank the drink, Liang Jiahui glared at him, picked it up and followed suit: "It has nothing to do with you. Those guys can't beat Zhang Chen, so they have to take it out on me. The result will not change whether you are there or not... …”
In fact, he knew very well that those guys were bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
I wanted to make trouble for Zhang Chen but didn't dare, so I picked him, a soft persimmon.
"To put it bluntly, they still blame me for being too weak. If I could have your influence, they wouldn't dare to take it out on me..."
Cheng Long comforted: "Don't be discouraged. This popularity will come soon. "Hurricane Rescue" is selling very well all over the world. It hasn't been released in some places yet. How about I take you there for a walk and let you know? Know how popular you are now~"
Cheng Long's deliberate flattery finally brought a smile to Liang Jiahui's face.
"What are you going to do next?"
"What should I do? Continue to cooperate with the mainland. I will try to become famous so that they have to think carefully before they want to deal with me in the future..."
"Zhang Chen has booked a new movie with you?"
Liang Jiahui shook his head: "That's not true. He only said that there will definitely be a sequel to "Hurricane", but it's not certain when."
"I envy you~, there is a series of movies."
"Don't come here, you have more movies in the series. Didn't you say two days ago that a third installment of "Rush Hour" was going to be made?"
Cheng Long waved his hand: "We are still talking about it, and there is nothing to discuss yet~"
……
In Yinchuan, shortly after the plane landed, Zhang Chen got into the car sent by the crew to pick them up.
"Aren't you afraid of affecting the box office of future movies in Hong Kong when you say this about them?" Mr. Zhou asked worriedly.
Apart from the two of them, there was only one driver in the car, and the driver was very smart. He didn't dare to look at the rearview mirror other than looking straight ahead.
Mr. Zhou became bolder and drew circles on Zhang Chen's body with his little hands.
Zhang Chen felt the softness on his hands and curled his lips indifferently: "Don't worry, they don't have that much energy yet. Stars are stars, and the audience is the audience. Those clowns don't have that much influence."
He said nothing about the acquisition of Jiahe, and would wait until the dust settled.
The group returned to the crew, which was filming, and Cheng Er was the one taking the photo.
"Ka~ Director Zhang, you are back~"
Cheng Er noticed Zhang Chen and shouted immediately. Zhang Chen nodded and waved his hand: "Don't affect the shooting. You continue, I will watch from the side for a while."
The crew returned to filming, and Zhang Chen watched Cheng Er shoot a few scenes with his own eyes, but there were no problems.
After shooting another scene, Cheng Er asked again: "Director Zhang, do you want to reshoot Brother Xun's scene?"
Zhang Chen shook his head again: "The shooting plan has been completed, so don't adjust it. Let's start shooting Brother Xun's scenes tomorrow."
……
Two days later, people in the crew also received news one after another. When the meal was being served, Yuan Heping found Zhang Chen: "Director Zhang, you are causing such a big commotion in Hong Kong~"
Zhang Chen replied while eating: "What, they found you here?"
Yuan Heping smiled bitterly and said nothing, but his younger brother Yuan Xiangren said: "Yes, someone called my brother and asked him to take sides~"
Zhang Chen shrugged: "Then what did Master Ba think about it?"
Yuan Heping took the lunch box handed to him and simply sat down to eat together: "What should I consider? I'm filming my movie. What does the bad things in Hong Kong have to do with me?"
He came here today specifically to sell the goods and express his attitude by the way.
Director, look, I am on your side, please take care of me in the future~
Zhang Chen laughed: "Eighth Master, you will definitely be proud of today's decision in the future."
"Haha, thanks to Director Zhang's good words~"
……
A group of reporters blocked the door of Xingchen Entertainment, but they were all blocked from entering by the guard.
After a while, Lu Yang came out lazily.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
"Director Lu, let us in. We will interview Manager Dong for a few words, or Mr. Chen Xi can do it~"
Lu Yang held up his hands and said, "I'm sorry everyone, Manager Dong and Chen Xi are busy and can't spare time for interviews. They asked me to tell all my media friends that Director Zhang Chen's attitude is that of Xingchen Entertainment..."
When the reporters saw this, they all looked disappointed.
Seeing that they couldn't get the interview qualification, some people turned around and wanted to leave, but the smart one stopped Lu Yang: "Director Lu, the two bosses don't have time to be interviewed, so can you say a few words?"
Since we can't interview the top executives of Star Entertainment, it would be good to interview the new directors who have become popular recently.
The others immediately reacted and stretched out their long guns and short cannons again. For a moment, there was a surge of people and the security guards were almost overwhelmed.
"Don't be crowded, don't be crowded~"
Seeing that the security guards were showing signs of being unable to stop him, Lu Yang hurriedly stabilized the situation.
As expected, the crowd became quiet after his greeting.
"Director Lu, are Star Entertainment really not afraid of being blocked by the Hong Kong film industry?"
The media is all about following the wind. The Academy Awards just listed Zhang Chen as "persona non grata". After a few days, it has become a ban in their mouths.
Lu Yang sneered: "Don't put gold on their faces, okay? The Academy Awards cannot represent the Hong Kong film industry."
Click, click~
The flashbulbs kept going, the reporters were excited, and those words alone made the day worthwhile.
"Then where is the confidence of Xingchen Entertainment?"
"Where, of course, at our movie box office. Do you think the Hong Kong movie box office record of "Taken" is fake?
"Kowloon Walled City" also grossed more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong. The movies produced by our Star Entertainment alone can take over half of the total. Why are they trying to block us? Will Hong Kong citizens stop watching movies because of them? ”
Lu Yangyu said proudly, he was now very swollen.
The first work of a newcomer has a box office of 60 million in the Mainland and 30 million in Hong Kong. Which newcomer is as fierce as him?
After a pause, he continued: "Those Hong Kong celebrities who are taking sides do not represent Hong Kong citizens at all, nor do they represent the Hong Kong film industry.
In fact, I understand their behavior very well, it is because their mentality is unbalanced.
In the past, Hong Kong films were the best in Asia. Hong Kong filmmakers were superior, while mainlanders were just side dishes.
In the past two years, mainland movies have gradually emerged, but the Hong Kong style has not worked.
Seeing that mainland movies have exceeded 100 million one after another, but Hong Kong has difficulty even exceeding 50 million, they are anxious.
They are afraid of the rise of the mainland but are powerless to stop it, so they do things like this.
I was studying Hong Kong movies a while ago, and there was a scene like this in it, which is very consistent with their current mentality. ”
"Oh, what is it?" The reporters were curious.
"There is an episode in "Young and Dangerous" where the underworld holds an auction. Lee Shau Kee presides over it and leads a group of big guys to sing "The East Is Red".
Some people were booing, but he still said plausibly, "Don't shout, everyone, 97 is coming soon. If you believe me, please quickly invite a Mao statue home and worship it morning and night, so that the government will not arrest you."
I can't remember the specific details, but that's what it meant.
It talks about the confusion Hong Kong people have about the return of Hong Kong, and the various emotions such as fear and anger derived from the confusion.
The current Hong Kong film industry is similar. They know that Hong Kong films are declining, and they also know that mainland China will rise, but they can't stop it. They can't accept the loss of falling from the altar, so they do things.
Okay, okay, I have said enough, everyone should leave now. ”
After Lu Yang finished speaking, the reporters felt that they were full of useful information.
The material has been available again in the past few days, and today is really not in vain.
Zhang Chen is really a friend of the media. Even in his absence, his people can provide really good news materials.
The reporters wanted Lu Yang to say something more, but Lu Yang refused and instead told them to leave quickly.
After the reporters left, Guo Fan dared to ask secretly: "Aren't you afraid of offending the Hong Kong community by saying this?"
Lu Yang spat:
"What are you afraid of?
In the film industry, the most important thing is to follow the right boss.
Our boss is Zhang Chen.
We will criticize whomever the big boss criticizes, and that is definitely correct.
Don't blame me for not reminding you. You must think clearly about your position. To paraphrase a sentence in Hong Kong movies, if you are a low-income person, you will not end well. ”
Guo Fan was shocked and said immediately: "Of course I am firmly on Director Zhang's side."
Lu Yang was very satisfied with the attitude of his follower, but he immediately thought of something: "You came out specifically to see me?"
"Yeah."
"What happened?"
"Fans of "Hurricane" have called and asked, when will the companion film be launched and how far is the preparation?
They said if you keep procrastinating, they will send the razor blade to your home. The bar friend said that he has found out your home address, which is #######~"
"Oh no, it's really my home, let's go, let's go~"
"What are you going to do?"
"Help me appease them, otherwise, they will really send the blade."
……
Hong Kong, The Peninsula Hotel
In the room, Lu Zheng looked at Jing Tian who looked stubborn and didn't know what to do.
"How do you want me to say hello to you? Who asked you to express your opinion casually? I am talking to Chen Kexin about investment and the heroine, but you publicly expressed your support for Zhang Chen and Liang Jiahui. You hate these Hong Kong people. Most of the heroines will end up in trouble~"
"If you're in trouble, you're in trouble. It's the Hong Kong people who are causing trouble. Why should they blame Brother Tony? Brother Tony also coached my acting skills. Aren't they taking sides? Then I will stand with Brother Tony. If Zhang Chen can stand, so can I. …”
Lu Zheng had a constipated expression on his face: "My sister-in-law, what about the role? If you express your position like this, Chen Kexin will definitely not dare to use you as the heroine again..."
"Then let's change the drama. At worst, I'll go back and continue acting in Zhang Chen's drama~"
"You think Zhang Chen's drama is just cabbage. You can do it if you want to. I don't know how many people are watching now. Why is it your turn?"
Jing Tian rolled his eyes: "The worst case scenario is that I let him be my boyfriend, then it will be my turn~"
Lu Zheng only felt a headache: "Auntie, please spare me. If your father knows that you are doing this, he will definitely beat me to death."
……
On the crew of "Painted Skin", Zhang Chen was calling the members of the Huala Gang one by one.
"Wen, my new movie "Breathless" has been produced, and I invite you to watch it in advance..."
"Great, then I can watch a movie for free."
"Haha, it's not in vain. If you think the quality of the movie is pretty good, please help me praise it in front of the media. Of course, if the quality is average, just pretend I didn't say anything. I won't force anyone to make things difficult."
"No problem, but say yes, if I really don't like it, I really won't help you promote it."
"It's a deal, please notify Ray and Darren, and I'll notify the others."
"OK."
After ending the call with Wen, he then called Rob Zumby, Tobe Hopper and Alexander Aja respectively, saying the same thing as before.
In fact, these foreigners are not as rigid as they think, and they also know what Zhang Chen means to find them.
A circle is just about helping each other. You help me and I help you. Otherwise, what else would a circle do?
But Zhang Chen still chose to make it clear in advance that film directors are all people with character, and he did not want to cause conflicts because of these things.
……
I have read everyone’s opinions in the past two days. Regarding the business department, a routine, and Jing Tian, my strength is limited. Let’s change it slowly
