Chapter 1036 The capital chain is broken, Zhang Yimou’s questioning
I have to say that "Westward Journey" is indeed a super big IP, and Liu Zhenwei ate this IP to death.
No, early in the morning, the large-scale costume mythological romance drama "Westward Journey: My Love for Ten Thousand Years" was launched "online" with great fanfare.
Liu Zhenwei directed it himself, and the promotional materials were sold all over the Internet. In addition, top star Huang Zitao played the Supreme Treasure and Sun Wukong, and "Yuan Hua" Yin Zheng starred in Jin Chanzi and Tang Monk...
With the blessing of all kinds of traffic, it is overwhelming and almost everyone on the Internet knows it. For those who don’t know, they thought it was Zhou Xingchi who was going to play the Supreme Treasure again.
Well, not to mention, Liu Zhenwei did praise Huang Zitao in front of the media;
It is said that the latter's audition effect can be compared with Zhou Xingchi's "Westward Journey", and even performed new ideas and contributed surprises!
“I can see that if you want to make money, you have to be shameless, or at least have the ability to do what you say. Just like the ‘great director’ Liu Zhenwei, he insulted Zhou Xingchi, Or did you insult yourself? "
On the first day of the release of "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li", Zhu Yawen came to visit the class. This guy was leaning against the door frame of the dressing room, teasing Liu Zhenwei.
In the dressing room, Liu Yifei, who was dressed in uniform and had just finished her nightclub scene, was removing her makeup, and Lin Nan was handing her a towel.
Ning Hao, Xing Aina, and Shen Teng were all in a lazy state, lying on a row of canvas chairs a few meters away to rest and participate in gossip together.
"You don't care who he insulted. To make money, it's not shabby to lick the top fans. Besides, isn't Liu Zhenwei always like this these years? He also said Han Geng before "The Supreme Treasure will also become a classic."
Liu Yifei took the towel and wiped her face, then Lin Nan turned around and joked with a smile.
“You have no box office appeal, and you can’t make literary films. If you don’t let others make money by making money, how can they live? They’ve already made TV series, haha...
< br>Oh, by the way, the movie "Westward Journey 3" seems to be released in two months. I wonder if it will continue to lose money this time?" Ning Hao couldn't help but started teasing.
"Then you should think too much. Liu Zhenwei has a lot of money. Although his movies have been very bad over the years, he is the major shareholder of Zedong Pictures. Many big-name actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan have their film and television contracts there. ."
"Wang Jiawei's company?"
"Well, that's it."
Lin Nan nodded, these people have taken too many dividends from the times; The Hong Kong scene was so prosperous in those years, and all the companies of great directors were located in big hills!
"Okay, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it. It is indeed like this, the Alliance of Major Directors!" Ning Hao realized it later and reacted.
Regarding the gossip of these big directors in the industry, Shen Teng, Guo Jingfei and others couldn't get a word in, they could only laugh and cheer from the sidelines.
Not long after, as it was approaching 11:30, all the creative staff changed into casual summer clothes. Everyone left the backstage area of the crew and got into their cars.
Since the startup time in the afternoon will be after 4 o'clock, everyone can go out for a meal at noon.
But just as Lin Nan and Liu Yifei fastened their seat belts, the assistant from Hongxingwu hurried over and knocked on the car window:
"Sister Yifei, the company is here The phone call said that people from several TV stations had arrived, but they had not made an appointment before, nor did they say it was today..."
Liu Yifei did not take the assistant's cell phone, but looked at Lin Nan inquiringly. It was about the right to play one round of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".
"Is Director Jiang in Hongxingwu at the moment?"
"Not in the company, he should already be at the Mango Restaurant, but the dinner shouldn't have started yet." The assistant answered immediately road.
"Go and inform Director Jiang now, and then bring these families over. She will take care of it. There are more wolves and less meat, which is good for 'competition'." Lin Nan thought about it and gave the solution solution.
“That’s it, go ahead.” Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.
Ten seconds later, several high-end commercial vehicles sped away and headed straight for the private restaurant.
......
It has been vaguely spread in the circle that a certain third-tier artist has offended Yang Ying and offended the leader Huang;
And the woman’s studio has also handed over the Once the words were spoken, the meaning was obvious.
This "little effort" thing quickly spread and spread along Huang Xiaoming's network, connecting most of the capital in the film and television industry. The latter were selling their face one after another, and almost all responded...
< br>
Lin Nan Films.
After Yue Jun hung up the phone, he couldn't help but show a look of contempt on his face.
He really didn't expect that Yang Ying would call in person and "ask" for favors in the name of the couple.
"Director Yue, how should we deal with this kind of thing? It seems that the actor also appeared in Director Guo's "Time Traveler" and was a supporting role." The assistant was watching the fun with a smile. He had not been in the circle for a long time. This has happened before.
“It’s not a big deal, he’s just an actor. It’s not like our company wants to ban him.”
"After that?"
"Sell yourself to the Yellow Leader to save face. Besides, there are so many actors in the circle, countless second-tier actors, and countless third-tier actors. One more is not more, and one less is not too much. Use Who wouldn't use it? "
Yue Jun said this very objectively. There is no need to refute Huang Xiaoming's face for the sake of a third-tier artist with little personal connections. Just pretend that you don't know there is such an artist. It is the greatest kindness of bystanders not to take the initiative to embarrass him or add insult to injury.
“Don’t you need to talk to Director Jiang and Director Lin again?” the assistant reminded.
“One of them is busy helping Hongxingwu negotiate the rights for the TV series these days, and the other is busy filming. There is no need to bother them with such trivial matters. It is a complete waste. Time and energy." Yue Jun waved his hand and said casually. In his opinion, this is a very trivial matter.
"Director Yue, that's what I'm going to give you?"
"Well, that's it. We won't take the initiative to embarrass him, and we won't add insult to injury. If he comes to audition... we'll be subtle. He ignored him...
He was also a man with bad luck, but he offended a woman, and she was still a woman who pretended to be powerful. ”
……
The night scene last night took a long time to shoot, so I really couldn't get out of bed this morning.
Then Lin Nan and Ning Hao, two great men, chatted on the phone for a while, and then they hit it off: they informed the executive director that they would take the morning off temporarily!
And when Lin Nan tiptoed back to the room, and just got into bed, preparing to hold the warm nephrite in her arms, the damn phone vibrated again.
Well, now Director Lin was kicked out of bed by Liu Yifei, and she spoke with a slightly nasal voice of dissatisfaction.
"I said, Mr. Wang, you have never done anything like this! How many times have I made a phone call so early in the morning? It's so immoral..." Lying on the sofa, Lin Nan's anger was ignited.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep. Do you have so much sleep at such a young age?"
"Just because you are young, you sleep a lot. When I get to your age, I want to sleep, but my physical condition does not allow it. Yeah, you're just old." Lin Nan retorted directly, saying that old people feel young.
"I'm only in my early fifties, why am I old?"
"If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. After that, I can go back to sleep. Last night's scene was filmed until two o'clock in the morning. Here." While urging, Lin Nan couldn't help but yawn.
“There are rumors from LeTV. You don’t even dare to think that a listed company with a market capitalization of tens of billions has its capital chain broken! How far must this fraud go before its capital chain is broken?”< br>
In an instant, Lin Nan woke up, "News from the China Securities Regulatory Commission's investigation team?"
"There is no announcement, but... the news is absolutely true. This matter spread very quickly in the circle, very Fast.
For a listed company with a market value of tens of billions, the capital chain can be broken, which shows that the financial fraud will not be short-lived, and the scale of the fraud must be very large... The China Securities Regulatory Commission should have started by now. After checking forward..."
Ten minutes later, Lin Nan hung up the phone call on Wang Changtian. He was no longer sleepy at all, so he simply sat up and flipped through the news on the Internet.
Sure enough, as Lao Wang said, related hot searches are being withdrawn and being suppressed. One second, Lin Nan saw related news about LeTV on the hot search list, and the next second it was on the movie information replaced.
Yesterday, "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" and "Quick Gunslinger" were released on their first day. Today's figures reported 33.4 million and 15.68 million respectively.
"Big Fish and Begonia" and "Cold War 2" were slightly affected, with their daily closings falling to 23.11 million and 26.46 million, but it seems that they will rebound in the future because they still have a lot of stamina.
Only "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" can't die any more. Its daily box office performance of 860,000 yuan is as "glaring" as a piece of shit, which disgusts Huayi!
Although there was no news related to LeTV on the Internet throughout the morning, everyone in the industry who should know it knew it without exception!
Especially the two dozen film and television celebrity shareholders who were originally from LeTV Pictures and are now LeTV.com, and are shareholders after the increase in their holdings. These people are already completely ants on the hot pot.
In just two or three hours, everyone was anxiously contacting Zhang Zhao. If one call couldn't be answered, they would call the second, third, fourth... Even some people wanted to go straight to the LeTV building. .
"Still can't get through? Have you been on the phone all the time?"
Chen Ting asked in a low voice, looking at Zhang Yimou, whose face was full of gullies, extremely pale and ugly, as cold as ice.
A busy tone came out of the phone in the latter's hand: Please do not hang up, the number you dialed is currently on a call...
This sentence has been repeated for more than an hour. Director Zhang Da and she have been listening for more than an hour!
"It's been so many years, and all the wealth is in it..." Zhang Yimou murmured tremblingly, as if his whole body had lost his backbone, and his spirit and state were a bit wrong.
"Don't think too much, maybe it's not as serious as we thought. It's impossible for such a big listed company to have big problems..."
Chen Ting saw it in her eyes, I suddenly felt anxious. She was really worried about Zhang Yimou's mental condition. After all, he was quite old and had three children.
At this moment, Director Zhang Da has closed his eyes. He is gritting his teeth and the veins on both sides of his forehead are bulging... His mind is full of memories from these years:
I have worked with Zhang Weiping for more than ten years. In 2008, he was deceived for more than ten years; after the partnership broke up, he was competed by many capitals in the industry. Only then did he truly know his own value;
He made thousands of choices and finally found a new partner. He originally thought that he could hold the shares and make movies smoothly and make good movies in the future, but something like this happened again today!
"Director Zhang? I'm sorry, there are too many rumors outside today. I have been dealing with it all morning, but I never had the chance to answer your call, Director Zhang..."
Suddenly, on the phone, The call was connected, and Zhang Zhao's voice came from the other end!
Zhang Zhao's greetings and laughter are undoubtedly a ray of light in the darkness for Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting at this moment, a glimmer of vitality and hope when they are suffocated.
"Mr. Zhang, are the things rumored outside true or false? Will the shares in my hand be affected?"
Without the calmness and calmness of the past, Zhang Yimou grabbed his mobile phone like a life-saving straw and asked directly. There was still a slight tremor in his voice, but it was obvious that he probably didn't notice it and was only concerned about LeTV.
