Chapter 181 Zhang Chen is going to cause trouble again
Beijing, in a villa
Jing Tian is sitting at the dining table in the living room reading the news with a laptop. Under the table, a pair of little feet are hanging on Mid-air, shaking...
From time to time, I heard the rustling sound of the mouse wheel, which was Jing Tian scrolling the news.
After reading one, fork it and reopen a new one...
After a while, the sound of a key opening was heard at the door, and then the door was pushed open.
“Uncle~”
Seeing the visitor, Jing Tian greeted him obediently.
"Tiantian got up so early, just in time to tell you about the EP..."
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Jing Tian sat up straight.
"We've almost talked about the producer. It's Zhang Yadong. He used to be Faye Wong's producer..."
Jing Tian doesn't know who Zhang Yadong is, but I heard that he was in charge of Faye Wong's album production. He should be very powerful. Yes, a smile immediately appeared on Jingtian's face.
"The director hasn't been decided yet. I have two candidates. One is Zhang Chen, a popular director."
Hearing this familiar name, Jing Tian's expression immediately changed. changed.
"It seems you know him, the director of "Into the Dark" and "Shark Tank"~"
Jing Tian's expression was joyful at first, but soon became hesitant.
Lu Zheng saw the clue: "It's okay. If you have any concerns, just say it. With the relationship between our two families, we can say anything directly. Although I promised Dad, I will also refer to your advice. Opinion."
Jing Tian then summoned up the courage: "But Zhang Chen is a horror film director. Is it okay to let him be in charge of my EP?"
Hearing Jing Tian? Concerned, Lu Zheng smiled dumbly.
"Although he makes horror films, it is recognized in the industry that he is best at shooting women. Juno and Shara in "Dark Invasion", Fan Binbin in "Shark Beach", don't you think they are beautiful? ”
Jing Tian thought about what Lu Zheng said and realized that this was really the case.
Knowing that he wanted to pick a fight, Jing Tian stuck out his tongue playfully.
Lu Zheng continued: "The other one is Ning Hao. You may not have heard of his name, but he is quite famous in the advertising circle."
Unexpectedly, Jing Tian Said: "I know him."
"You know?"
Lu Zheng was a little confused. The advertising industry was very niche. Even he only found out about such a person when he inquired about it. How could Jing Tian know about it before he joined the industry?
Jing Tian is a little proud: "Now the Internet is full of news about him. I was watching it just now, but it was all negative. It was said that he was able to direct "Dark Invasion 2" because of his connections. "
"Oh, that's right." Lu Zheng then remembered that he had watched this movie with Jing Tian a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to be directed by Ning Hao.
"Then who do you want to choose?"
"I listen to my uncle."
"Don't just listen to me, your opinion is also important. Who do you think is more suitable for your own EP?"
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Jing Tian thought for a while, "Then Zhang Chen. , he is more famous, and you also said that he is best at photographing women. I also want to see how beautiful he can be."
Jing Tian felt a little embarrassed when he said it, and Lu Zheng looked at it. The little girl in front of her has eyes full of doting.
"Okay, my idea is similar. I am also inclined to find Zhang Chen, so I will try to contact him."
……
Star Entertainment
The company released the news that a press conference would be held in the afternoon. It didn’t take long for a lot of media to come. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon and there were already many people in the conference room, and there was no room left. , Dong Jianqiang could only arrange them in the conference room.
The conference room had been cleared out in advance, the original round table and chairs had been removed, and it was decorated like a press conference.
In the office, Zhang Chen was drinking tea leisurely.
Blowing gently to spread the tea leaves on the surface of the tea, Zhang Chen took a sip. Well, the tea has a rich aroma.
"It's really good tea~"
"Of course, my friend from the south mailed it to me specially..."
"I want it."
Dong Jianqiang also I wanted to brag, but I didn't expect that Zhang Chen's next words would immediately break my guard.
Seeing Zhang Chen stuffing the entire can of his favorite tea into his drawer, Dong Jianqiang regretted this.
If you meet someone unkindly, you will make the mistake of making friends with a gangster.
Zhang Chen continued to drink tea with a smile, and asked casually: "How many media reporters are here?"
"See for yourself~"
Dong Jianqiang was not angry, and still While mourning for his tea, he finally replied: "It's already half past three, and reporters are arriving one after another. There are already close to twenty media outlets."
At the same time, there are some uncertain questions. Said: "Have you really decided to be tough?"
"Nonsense, otherwise people will think that we are soft persimmons, and anyone can step on us. I don't know about you, but I can't be soft anyway~"
Dong Jianqiang felt as if he had been humiliated: "Don't criticize us. Whoever is soft, whoever is soft is the grandson~"
Zhang Chen looked at him with a smile: "Come on, call me grandpa..."
"Sun thief, how dare you talk to your grandpa? I prick and take my life..."
Fortunately, Ning Hao, who rushed over after receiving the news, saved Zhang Chen's life.
Ning Hao pushed the door open and saw Dong Jianqiang blasting Zhang Chen.
The two of them were stunned, and each of them stopped.
If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that the first and second leaders of the company would be so virtuous in the office.
"Why are you here?" "Didn't I receive the news? I heard that you are going to..."
Ning Hao just found out, "Have you really banned "Hancheng Strategy"?"
Zhang Chen nodded: "He can do the first grade, why can't we do the fifteenth~"
Ning Hao was suddenly moved, but didn't know how to express it.
Zhang Chen patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Don't be like this, people who don't know would think you want to commit yourself to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door. : "Who wants to pledge himself to me?"
It's Xing Aina.
"Uh, sister-in-law..."
Zhang Chen scratched his head, this was a bit embarrassing.
Dududu~
The knock on the door broke the embarrassment, and then Chen Xi appeared and glanced at everyone inside: "Director Zhang, Manager Dong, it's almost time~"
"Okay."
The group of people straightened their clothes, headed by Zhang Chen, and walked towards the conference room.
Well, there should be a God of Gamblers BGM at this time~
......
In the audience, long guns and short cannons were pointed at Zhang Chen.
On the stage, Zhang Chen stood alone in front of the microphone, and behind him stood other people from Xingchen Entertainment.
After trying the microphone, Zhang Chen said:
“I’m sorry to invite you all here this afternoon, mainly to clarify one thing.
Currently, There are rumors that we, Star Entertainment, as the producer of "Dark Invasion 2", have joined forces with theaters to deliberately suppress the filming of "Hancheng Strategy"
Here, on behalf of Star Entertainment, I solemnly declare. , it’s pure fiction.”
Just when everyone thought it was a cliché statement, Zhang Chen continued: "The suppression is indeed suppressed, but we don't have a co-producer."
Wow~
Zhang Chen's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
Everyone thought that Zhang Chen would deny it. This is also the basic operation in the industry. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chen did the opposite and admitted it openly.
The audience was agitated, and almost all the reporters wanted to ask questions at the same time. Seeing this, Zhang Chen pressed down a little, and then used the volume of the microphone to overpower the others: "Everyone, please be quiet first and wait for me. After the news is announced, there will be a special question and answer session..."
When they heard that there was a question and answer session, the crowd immediately became quiet, but their expressions showed that they were all eager to give it a try.
“I would like to remind everyone that it is not accurate to say that we unite with the theater chains to suppress it. In fact, we gave in to our own interests and reduced the producers’ share ratio, so that the theater chains were willing to cooperate. Ours.
The theater chain is not a public welfare organization. They are profit-making organizations. If they want to make money, they are willing to cooperate, so it is inaccurate to say that we join forces with the theater chain to suppress it. ”
Zhang Chen came up and picked out the theater lines first.
Everything I do next will definitely arouse public discussion, there is no need to involve the theater chain.
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he looked at the audience.
"Okay, now it's free question time."
Immediately, everyone raised their hands.
Zhang Chen randomly clicked on one.
“Excuse me, isn’t Star Entertainment afraid of being boycotted by the industry with this move?”
Zhang Chen glanced at the other party and did not answer the question, but asked: "Your thinking is wrong. Shouldn't you ask me why I did this?"
The reporter was stunned and fell into self-doubt. Isn't it free question time?
But when he saw the opportunity, Zhang Chen would point to other people at any time, and immediately hit the snake with the stick: "Then why did you do this?"
Zhang Chen was very satisfied with the other party's knowledge and interest, and clicked on the stick. Head, gave the answer: "Because of what they did to Director Ning Hao in Hong Kong before, you heard me right, this is revenge."
Wow~
The bottom exploded again.
Zhang Chen, as expected, Zhang Chen has to be the one responsible for the whole thing.
With him around, the entertainment industry will not be peaceful, and they will not have to worry about their bonuses.
The media below were all smiles and raised their hands to ask questions.
Zhang Chen did not comment on anyone for the time being and continued to explain.
"We are all in the media, and we should all be aware of the overwhelming smear campaign against Director Ning Hao in the past two days. According to our investigation, most of these comments in China are reposted following the trend. The source is the Hong Kong media. We have criticized the producers of "Hancheng Raiders" , Director Ma Chucheng and the distributor Anle Pictures expressed their great disappointment..."
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he looked down and saw a lot of reporters raising their hands.
Zhang Chen randomly clicked on one.
"How can Xingchen Entertainment be so sure that "Hancheng Strategy" did this?"
Zhang Chen smiled casually: "There are no secrets in this circle. Whoever I say a bad word today will be punished tomorrow. It will reach his ears, this is the entertainment industry.”
The media are very excited. In fact, they don't care at all whether "Hancheng Strategy" is the real protagonist, as long as there is some fighting.
It is best if one side of "Hancheng Strategy" can be more stubborn, so that both sides can fight longer.
Of course, some people don’t think so. A reporter asked: "Director Zhang, will Star Entertainment be suspected of disrupting the market environment by doing this?"
Zhang Chen was already prepared. Waving his hand: "I have not disturbed the market environment. All our practices are in line with market behavior.
No administrative intervention is used, and there is no monopoly on film arrangement. The initial film arrangement of "Black 2" Only 52%, purely because of the high attendance and popularity, the theater chain is willing to continue to increase the proportion
After reaching the critical value, I took the initiative to lower the share ratio in order to allow my movie to be scheduled more. Is this okay? If the theater chain makes money, of course they are willing to make more movies for me. That’s no problem, right?
