Chapter 245: Survival with a Broken Arm
The interview continued, and there was another urgent knock on the door. Then, before the people inside agreed, Li Kaiyu hurriedly opened the door and came in.
“Found it~”
No object is needed, everyone knows what he has found.
Li Kaiyu placed the computer on the table, and the two of them moved closer consciously.
"I traced the source and found that these accounts were the ones that initially led this topic. Then I asked all the navy teams in the circle and finally found it."
"Who is it?" Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang asked in unison.
"Chengtian!"
Hearing this name, Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang looked at each other. They had thought of many candidates before, such as Lu Chuan, Huayi, Bona, and those Hong Kong forces. Another one is Orange Sky.
I didn’t expect Wu Kebo to be very revengeful.
But Li Kaiyu hasn’t finished his words yet: “It was indeed Chengtian who started it in the beginning, but later there were more people involved. According to my investigation, at least Huayi and New Picture were the ones who contributed to the flames, and there may be others. The company may also..."
This sentence suddenly made the office quiet.
They have become the target of public criticism.
No wonder.
Although Xingchen Entertainment deliberately brings others together to make a fortune every time and will not go it alone, its development is still too fast.
The first movie's box office of 60 million has already made many film and television companies jealous, and the second one directly exceeded 100 million.
You must know that the profits of many established companies in a year may not be comparable to the profits of Star Entertainment's two movies.
However, Xingchen Entertainment is still a newly established small company.
Zhang Chen’s performance was too strong and he rose quickly like a comet, making many film and television companies feel threatened.
Normally they don’t say it, but they are definitely afraid of it.
It is enough to have a new picture in the circle, no one wants a second one to appear.
The total box office in a year is so much. Each of your movies exceeds 100 million. What will we eat?
So when such a rare opportunity appears, it will definitely be rejected by everyone.
Huayi probably has this kind of thinking, otherwise it cannot be explained. The two parties clearly cooperated in "Hurricane Rescue", why would they do this?
Zhang Chen puts himself in his shoes. If he were Huayi, there is a high probability that he would not miss such a rare opportunity.
Damn it, I am the boss of a private film and television company. Your Star Entertainment is small and broken, but every movie makes a lot of money. Why do you want to rebel?
"What should we do?" Dong Jianqiang frowned.
The enemy is not one person, but a group of people, which is a bit difficult to deal with.
If you retaliate against one person, other participants will feel that you will definitely retaliate against him, making it easy for them to form an alliance.
By then, Xingchen Entertainment will be completely isolated.
Just like the new picture, Zhang Chen will become the second Zhang Yimou and be hacked by the entire network.
""Manslaughter" will be offline!"
"What?"
"I said "Manslaughter" will be offline immediately. We cannot let this matter continue to ferment. ”
Zhang Chen is actually not afraid of being isolated, nor is he afraid of being blackmailed by the whole network. The person targeting him is the production company, not the theater chain, so can he be banned?
What he was really afraid of was offending the film bureau.
You, a film and television company, still want to get involved in film censorship?
Zhang Chen was afraid of being labeled like this, and he didn't want to leave such an impression on the officials.
So even if you give up the benefits, you have to end this matter.
The best way to end this matter is to take "Manslaughter" offline. The source is gone, so you can't continue to discuss it, right?
It's none of my business to continue the discussion.
"But..."
Dong Jianqiang is a little reluctant to give up, but there is nothing he can do if he doesn't give up. Zhang Chen explained that he is very powerful, and now he is trying to survive with his arm broken.
"Okay, just do as you say, I will contact China Film Group immediately."
Now that you have decided to cut off your arm, let's cut the knot quickly.
The sooner it is divided, the safer it is.
Xingchen Entertainment was very determined, and "Manslaughter" was completely removed from all theaters the next day.
Many tickets for the second day have actually been pre-sold, but it doesn’t matter, Star Entertainment will pay double the compensation.
The industry is surprised that Xingchen Entertainment has moved so quickly. That’s money.
In their opinion, the box office of "Manslaughter" has already reached 127 million. If it can hold on for another week, it will have no problem reaching 140 million, and it is even possible to reach 150 million. But Xingchen Entertainment went offline immediately.
......
In Han Sanping's office, after listening to the report of his subordinates, Han Sanping sent them out, and then secretly smiled.
“Not bad, quite decisive~”
The third master admires Zhang Chen very much. His attitude towards Zhang Chen is somewhat similar to that towards Ning Hao in history, but he relies more heavily on him.
Zhang Chen has a unique vision and can often create miracles in movies. The key is that he is not as stubborn as those directors of the older generation.
The older generation of directors generally loves artistic films, thinking that they are movies, and scorns commercial films.
No way, they grew up under the influence of European movies, and it is difficult to make changes.
But Han Sanping saw very clearly that Chinese films must be commercialized. Only commercialization can leave the seeds of hope. Otherwise, like European films, they will be conquered by Hollywood and have no power to fight back.
Zhang Chen's appearance was timely and could bring him dazzling political achievements.
The significance of his existence is like Huo Qubing to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In addition, Zhang Chen can make money, and he is willing to take him to make money with him.
As a result, his deputy not only has good political performance within China Film Group, but also has good performance and has a great say.
Even if they are a state-owned enterprise, performance is also a very important indicator. With Zhang Chen, it is almost a certainty that he will take over as the top leader.
So, Zhang Chen is his lucky general.
Originally, he thought that Zhang Chen would be affected this time, but Zhang Chen clearly realized the seriousness of the matter, gave up his interests, and cut off his arm to survive, which made him take a higher look at the other party.
It’s just a matter of saying, ‘Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou’.
……
According to the theory of relativity, if someone is happy, someone must be unhappy.
Wu Kebo is very unhappy now.
Li Kaiyu's investigation was correct, he was indeed responsible for this matter.
At first he wanted to join forces with Zhang Weiping, but Zhang Weiping ignored him at all.
It's not that Zhang Weiping ignored him, but that Zhang Weiping didn't like him at all.
Although the laborer is a bastard, he still looks down on the comprador~
This made Wu Kebo very hurt.
But dealing with Zhang Chen must be done, the opportunity is too rare.
What he didn’t expect was that as soon as he started, many people followed him spontaneously.
Although he didn’t know who those people were, it was obvious that he was not fighting alone.
……
Huayi Brothers, in Mr. Wang’s office
"Brother, you said that this piece of Chen is really willing to give up. It's at least more than 10 million. If you say you don't want it, then you don't want it..."
"What do you know? This is how to do big things. To be honest, I am now I feel a little regretful. If I had known he was so ruthless, we shouldn’t have made enemies casually.”
“What are you afraid of? It’s not our family.”
……
Taihe. People
Feng Xiaogang was also discussing this matter with Zhang Guoli.
“Don’t you admire your little brother very much? Why didn’t you give him a heads up about this?”
Zhang Guoli vaguely guessed what the old man was thinking, but he still wanted to hear it. He admitted it himself.
Feng Xiaogang sighed: "This little brother Zhang Chen is indeed good, but he is indeed a threat to me."
There is no need to explain everything, Zhang Guoli understands everything.
Zhang Chen came out of nowhere, and in just a year and a half, he has already produced two films that have exceeded 100 million yuan. In terms of popularity, only Zhang Yimou can compete with him.
Not even Feng Xiaogang can compare.
Although Zhang Chen's total box office has not surpassed Feng Xiaogang's, judging from the momentum, it will only happen sooner or later.
Although Feng Xiaogang felt a little guilty, he felt that he had done the right thing.
