Chapter 278 Poaching
Xingchen Entertainment, Zhang Chen walked into the conference room: "How was the effect?"
Chen Xixian was delighted: "Great, we are the headline in all entertainment pages, reports There are only a few "Seven Swords", and you played it so wonderfully..."
Zhang Chen was stunned~
Dong Jianqiang said angrily next to him: "You are overthinking, where was he at that time? I thought so much that I just got so excited..."
"The effect of the premiere can last for at least a week, and word-of-mouth will come out in the second week, but we still can't take it lightly. As I said before, "Super Girl" in August will definitely be a killer..."
< br>"Understood, I have been collecting information about the Ke Yimin you mentioned. You are right, this guy is really a bad mouth, many players have been scolded by her and cried.
In addition, collect I also watched the show while I was reading the information, and it was really good.”
Sure enough, "Super Girl" is in line with the aesthetics of this era. Chen Xi was already captured before he could watch it in full. .
“Who do you like?”
"Zhang Liangying~"
"Oh, then you should be watching the match in the Chengdu Division, where Zhang Liangying was ridiculed by Ke Yimin..."
"Yes."
Chen Xi gritted his teeth. : "So I can't wait to see how you spray her..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you when the time comes."
After discussing the next publicity strategy, Zhang Chen walked out of the conference room and wanted to smoke a cigarette, and then he heard two people talking in the smoking area.
"Brother, the script of "Stone" is great. When you have time, can you help me read my script and give me some pointers..."
Just by listening to the voice, I knew it was Lu Yang. The other one, no need to guess, must be Ning Hao.
Sure enough, Ning Hao's voice sounded: "No problem, eh, this is the first time I've seen this blue Zhongnanhai, let's try one..."
"You two Hey, why are you hiding and smoking? Give me one..."
Before Zhang Chen arrived, the voice had already arrived.
Zhang Chen usually smokes and never comes to any smoking area. The company belongs to him and he can smoke wherever he wants.
But not Lu Yang and Ning Hao.
Chen Xi didn’t like the smell of cigarette smoke, so she tolerated it when Zhang Chen smoked.
Ning Hao and Lu Yang smoked, and Chen Xi would not be polite.
So when they wanted to be happy, they could only go to the smoking area.
"Chenzi, is the meeting over?"
"Yeah~" Zhang Chen took the Zhongnanhai from Lu Yang, lit it, and the three of them started to smoke together.
"Do you really think "The Stone" can exceed 100 million?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure it will have a higher box office than "Seven Swords"?"
"Ah, what do you mean, "Seven Swords" can't even exceed 100 million? His investment alone is 140 million, so why won't he pay it back to my grandma's family?"
Zhang Chen shook his head: "Go and watch it when it comes out. Now we understand, Old Monster Xu is not the Old Monster Xu we thought he was..."
While slapping Zhang Chen, he said: "Lu Yang, don't look at Ning Hao with jealousy. He is not the same as you. Same.
This guy is a genius, and his film career is destined to be different from that of ordinary people.
You don't have to do so many chores when filming "Kowloon Walled City", just be honest. Just shoot.
In our country, as long as you tell stories honestly and don't have bad luck, you can basically make money.
But most directors can't do it, because everyone has their own artistic expression and wants to be an artist.
In fact, there are so many artists who are just complaining for no reason.
You are a newcomer. Your first priority is to make money from your movie. Only when you make money will people invest in your next movie. When you become famous, you can express yourself artistically however you want. Lots of people are rushing to give it to you. Pay the bill, but at this stage, we still need to tell stories in a down-to-earth manner.
Don’t dislike the simplicity of the story of "Kowloon Walled City". The plot of an action movie is just passable. The key is to have quality filming. I already boasted about its awesomeness at the premiere. I want to use "Kowloon Walled City" "Chengzhai" slap Hong Jinbao in the face, if you mess it up for me, hum, you know the consequences..."
"No way, senior brother, don't worry, I have a hundred and twenty thoughts."
Zhang Chen nodded, saying so much, mainly because he didn't want Lu Yang to make detours.
What he just said is really not alarmist. As a director, the most fearful thing is to show off your skills.
A typical example is Old Monster Xu.
I want to try everything, and I slowly kill myself.
Telling stories honestly can really make money. Look at Chen Sicheng in later generations, who crosses over as a director. What skills does he have? If he tells stories well, people can make a lot of money.
……
In a private beauty club in Beijing, two members of the Wives Group were chatting with facial masks on their faces.
Jiang Wenli: "Hey, what's going on with Xu Fan's family? Why did he and Zhang Chen suddenly fall out? I remember they had a good relationship before..." Deng Jie He curled his lips and said, "I know this..."
Just as he was about to continue speaking, he felt that the mask on his face was wrinkled, so he quickly reduced the range of his movements and muttered, "It's not all nonsense. I heard from our family Guoli that it seemed that Feng Xiaogang saw " "Manslaughter" has exceeded 100 million again, and I feel a little unbalanced. At that time, everyone on the Internet was trolling Zhang Chen. Feng Xiaogang was afraid that "Hurricane Rescue" would not be released, so he sold his share
For this reason, He and Guoli also had a falling out, and the company they worked with was no longer wanted. Feng Xiaogang returned to Huayi, so Xu Fan and I have less contact now. If you hadn't greeted me today, I guess we wouldn't have met... ..."
Jiang Wenli sighed: "Sometimes, men just don't make people worry. They act like children. They are fine one second, but they fall out the next second.
But I think we directors’ wives should keep in touch more. They deal with theirs, and we deal with ours. There may be bad things between them, but maybe one day, our relationship will be reconciled. Isn’t it like this in the circle? There are no eternal enemies..."
"Yes, yes, it would be great if everyone thought like you."
Just as he was talking, a figure appeared at the door, and then Xu Fan's sickly voice came: "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm late, there's a traffic jam on the road..."
Jiang Wenli hurriedly said: " It’s okay, come on, the seat has been reserved for you.”
The three of them chatted, and there was no barrier between Deng Jie and Xu Fan, and they chatted enthusiastically.
……
Huayi, in Wang Zhongjun’s office
The Wang brothers were watching the replay of the premiere of "Crazy Stone" on the computer. The premiere was broadcast by CCTV 6. Except for the beginning of the film, the rest was complete.
They returned from Changsha today. After they came back, they suddenly received a call saying that Huayi Brothers and Feng Xiaogang had been greeted. The two were curious and quickly found the replay of the premiere.
While fiddling with it, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside. There was neither a knock on the door nor an announcement.
The Wang brothers just frowned when they saw Feng Xiaogang coming in with a dark face.
The brothers looked at each other, and then Wang Zhonglei asked: "Have you seen it?"
Feng Xiaogang nodded. If he hadn't seen it before, his expression wouldn't be so bad.
At the premiere, Zhang Chen did not save him any face, and almost pointed at his nose and scolded him for being unreasonable.
After he became famous, no one scolded him.
Wang Shuo and Ye Jing both did this.
But who is Zhang Chen? A junior dares to point his nose and scold...
I felt unhappy, but I couldn't say anything because it really didn't make sense.
The premiere started, and there was nothing going on in front of it. When they saw the Hong Kong reporters asking questions, they finally knew how Zhang Chen greeted them.
It’s okay, I don’t mean it harshly.
Then the two looked at each other and looked at Feng Xiaogang.
It’s really cruel to scold Feng Xiaogang. No wonder this guy has a dark face.
Feng's mind is not big to begin with, and he was scolded like this in public. It would be weird if he didn't get angry~
Soon after, a reporter pointed at Zhang Chen and targeted Hong Kong filmmakers. Zhang Chen refuted them one by one. They finally Now you know why today’s so-called reports are all about “Stone”.
I have to say, this guy is really a genius for publicity.
Every time a movie is released, this kid always attracts attention.
This is similar to the scolding battle between small steel cannons.
Thinking about the premiere of "Seven Swords" that he attended last night, Wang Zhongjun suddenly felt that choosing to upgrade "Seven Swords" and "Stone" might be a mistake.
"I'm just wondering, is this "Crazy Stone" really so good?"
It's useless to be immersed in these, Wang Zhonglei is more concerned about the quality of the movie.
He felt that the nice words at the premiere were all polite remarks, but the information he heard from many sources told him that it seemed not to be the case.
Wang Zhongjun shook his head: "I'm afraid it's true. I called Gao Jun and asked him. He said that all theaters have confidence in this film."
Feng Xiaogang also echoed: "The script is indeed good. It is modeled after Guy Ritchie's "Two Smoking Barrels". It has a multi-line narrative style that is rare in China. People who watch it for the first time will probably find it amazing..."< br>
Wang Zhonglei didn't expect it to be so good. He stopped talking after hearing this. Wang Zhongjun next to him said: "We don't need to emulate others' ambitions and destroy our own prestige. Anyway, we don't have any movie releases."
Feng Xiaogang chuckled: "I think what Ning Hao said is right. Director, only rely on your work to speak for itself. Come on, I'd better read the script of "The Night Banquet" again. This movie is finished. It's better than saying 10,000 words." They are all useful..."
The Wang brothers all agreed, and they were also waiting for "The Night Banquet" to become a blockbuster.
After Feng Xiaogang left, Wang Zhongjun said to his younger brother: "That Ning Hao, go and try to make contact..."
Wang Zhonglei spread his hands: "Brother, I have contacted him a long time ago. This guy is not interested in us at all. He is Zhang Chen's good brother."
"Shit good brother, even brothers in this world are If you can turn against me, a good brother is nothing.
Listen to me and get in touch with me after the movie is released. Just because you were not interested before doesn't mean you are not interested now.
Make the conditions more generous.
In the past, he was not moved because he knew that his virtue was not worthy of the role. Now that the movie is popular, who would be willing to continue to be the younger brother? Everyone knows that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, but I don’t understand you. Just tell him..."
