Chapter 476: Repay the other in the same way
"The Great Earthquake" received a wake-up call from Li Chen amidst the applause of the mountains and the tsunami.
Hot searches and portal websites are all Li Chen’s "words to punish Zhen"!
Online public opinion is almost one-sided, and the few voices that applaud "Earthquake" cannot make any waves at all.
“Le DiCaprio dared to say that the prime time slot in the evening was all “Earthquake”, and those who didn’t know thought “Inception” had been canceled!”
"We have never done this in "The Founding of a People's Republic"! Jumping high in a manhole is like jumping through manure!"
"The fifteen-minute pre-roll advertisement is also unprecedented, and Feng Pants became the spokesperson for the advertisement!"
< br>"Xiao Lizi is right, even Feng Pants' films can't cross the Shenzhen River, let alone break out of Asia."
"There's nothing wrong with it, the world only recognizes Yimou and Li as a poet"< br>
Some things require a leader.
Li Chen started, and soon several professors from Qinghua University and Beijing Normal University in the academic world came forward to criticize the box office controversy of "Earthquake".
More and more people are beginning to suspect that "Earthquake" is a box office fraud.
It can be said that everyone has complaints about the eating habits of "Earthquake".
Even the theaters that make profits downstream do not agree with Huayi and Feng Xiaogang.
What's more, before it was released, Xiaogangpao criticized the theaters for being too sinister and took away a large portion of the box office.
Although Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and other rising directors did not dare to participate, they all sent text messages to Li Chen with a tacit understanding.
Ning Hao also called and said with a smile: "That's you, we young directors don't have enough confidence!"
"The box office of this thing is 500 million. I heard that it is often the case in Hebei Province. Director Han has never had such fun with a private venue!"
Li Chen chuckled and said, "I hope he can get his wish."
Ning Hao gossiped: "Why do I feel that there is something in your words? , you don’t have any backup plan, do you?”
Li Chen didn't expect Ning Hao to be so sensitive: "You are thinking too much."
After hanging up Ning Hao's phone, Jiang Wen called again: "Brother, great! I have a good relationship with Feng Xiaogang, but I still want to say: Well said!"
Li Chen smiled and said: "I thought you were calling to accuse me, but Oscar didn't count you."
Jiang Wen haha. Laughing: "I haven't finished talking yet! You included Jia Zhangke, but you didn't count me?"
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, I'm done!" Li Chen didn't tell Jiang Wen too much.
Because Han Sanping called again.
The bureau could no longer sit still and asked Han Sanping to give him a message and stop escalating the situation.
But it seems that Han Sanping only acted as a microphone this time and did not have much personal tendencies.
After hanging up the phone, Li Chen realized why Han Sanping stood with him this time.
"The Great Earthquake" was only cast a few times by China Film and Television, but Hua Yi was forced to do it and now it is likely to overshadow Lao Han's "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"!
Li Chen and Feng Xiaogang are considered the most popular directors in China.
Everyone in the circle watched the fight between the two sides and did not consider it a big deal.
Feng Xiaogang is backed by Huayi, which is listed on the market.
Li Chen himself is the largest entertainment capital in the country.
The influence has radiated all over the world.
In a confrontation of this level, the celebrities are very enthusiastic about gossiping.
But everyone kept silent and only dared to discuss in private.
Hengdian Ming and Qing Palaces
The crew of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" are also hotly discussing Li Chen's bombardment of the box office of "Earthquake".
Wearing ancient costumes on hot days is something that actors have become accustomed to.
Just as Yang Mi took a few sips of the water handed over by her assistant, Yu Zheng walked over and sat next to Yang Mi with a smile.
"Mi, Director Li is still Director Li! Only now I realize that the war of words between us and Cai Yinong is like children playing house!"
Yang Mi wiped it gently There were beads of sweat on his forehead and he smiled proudly: "Are we in the same rank as the senior?"
"Cai Yinong jumped up and down again, and took advantage of Yifei's heat. Do you think the senior has talked to her? Xiong An eagle does not compete with a sparrow!”
“If you look around, you can’t find anyone who can compete with the seniors!”
"It's not my thinking that makes me shut up, I must support my senior!"
Yu Zheng nodded and laughed: "Mr. Yang still knows you! You didn't know anything about Director Li's bombardment of "The Great Earthquake" beforehand. I don’t know.”
Yang Mi rolled her eyes and said impatiently: “Please, I’m just a small artist under the senior class, how could I know such a thing?”
Huayi Headquarters.
Wang Zhonglei is still in a meeting to discuss how to respond to Li Chen's bombardment.
The small steel cannon has started firing.
He directly responded to the online controversy about the box office of "Earthquake" in a weird way on Weibo.
“Someone deliberately determined that the box office of “Tang” on the first day was false, and sadly believed that it could not surpass “Avatar” on the first day!”
“I’m really sorry for breaking your hearts. The weekly box office will only be low, not high, because you have to pay taxes for bragging..."
"If you have any doubts, please help with the investigation. We don't have enough manpower to monitor the votes. I would be very grateful."
"It's not that I'm unkind, it's that someone is too crazy!"
Li Chen was at home, but he controlled Yang Siwei and Yu Miao remotely.
"Boss, Feng Xiaogang responded, but he didn't dare to openly compete with several of your internationally recognized great directors." Yang Siwei said with a smile.
Feng Xiaogang is also too fierce and cruel. The boss calls him out by name, but he only dares to be weird.
But it’s no wonder, the boss said it is true.
Feng Xiaogang's films have repeatedly hit the streets in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The highest box office is "If You Are the One 2" which took 6 million at the box office on Hong Kong Island.
Netizens have said that the Shenzhen River is too impressive.
"I understand. Have you met Ye Ning?"
"I'm already here. Mr. Ye just called me and he will be here soon." Li Chen and Yang Liu Yifei did not avoid Liu Yifei even when talking on the phone.
Seeing Li Chen hang up the phone, Liu Yifei asked curiously: "What are you doing with Mr. Ye?"
"What? Huayi relies on a third party to put pressure on theaters."< br>
“I don’t need it!”
“Rongchen Pictures is the theater chain’s bread and butter!”
"They can put pressure, and so can I, and I believe they will definitely be happy to see the results. Maybe they just need an excuse."
Liu Yifei seemed to understand, but she probably understood.
“Do you want to coerce the theaters to increase the film schedule of “Inception”?”
Looking at Miss Liu’s blinking eyes, Li Chen laughed loudly: “Blackmail? No need at all. "
"I said, the theater chain may only need a reason to refuse, and Rongchen Pictures' "threat" is just in time."
Liu Yifei didn't understand, but she soon realized what happened next.
In a private club on Chang'an Street, opposite Yang Siwei sat the CEOs of the two largest cinema chains in the country.
"What! No copies provided!"
When Wanda's Ye Ning and Dadi's Xu He heard Yang Siwei's shocking words, they were not calm.
The two looked at each other, Rongchen Pictures has big dramas every month this year.
"Passengers" gave them a sweet taste.
If the next few major dramas are not copied as Yang Siwei said, their theater chain will suffer internal losses.
"Two bosses, don't worry, sit down and listen to me." Yang Siwei said calmly, admiring his boss in his heart.
The boss even guessed the reactions of Ye Ning and Xu He. There was something else that the boss couldn't guess.
The boss’s trick of trying to retaliate against others is too sharp.
Even Yang Siwei was shocked when he heard it that day.
Although Zhang Weiping was arrogant at that time, he still did not dare to say that he would not make copies for theaters.
In fact, what Yang Siwei didn’t know was.
If there was no rebirth like her boss.
Two years later, Zhang Weiping would also narrow down "Thirteen Hairpins" to order the eight princes.
But now Li Chen is more confident.
After a while, Ye Ning was the first to react and sat down calmly.
"Siwei, is this what Director Li means?"
Yang Siwei smiled and said: "Of course, Wanda and Dadi are the largest theater chains in the country."
"These The cooperation between us has been very pleasant over the years, but this time is the only one.”
Xu He said hurriedly: "Sisi, you also said that our cooperation has always been very pleasant."
"And this time, I believe Mr. Ye also told you in advance that our theater chain has no choice."< br>
“But outside of Hebei Province, we basically don’t treat them differently.”
Xu He felt a little guilty when he said this. Although the film bureau did not issue an explicit order this time, everyone tacitly understood it.
The momentum of "Earthquake" has gradually begun to overwhelm the co-production of "Inception" across the country.
Ye Ning said nothing and kept staring at Yang Siwei's expression. Seeing that Yang Siwei was smiling, it didn't look like he was going to fall out with her.
"Siwei, Director Li wants to put on a show, right?" Ye Ning looked at Yang Siwei steadily.
If Rongchen Pictures’ subsequent major dramas are not copied by theaters, the theaters will certainly suffer heavy losses.
But Rongchen Pictures is definitely not feeling well either.
This is just a statement, I’m afraid no one will take it seriously.
"Mr. Ye is right. The boss knows that your theater chain is also in trouble this time."
"So, now the boss has thought up all the high-sounding reasons for you."
"You guys As long as you follow the trend and push 456, the film bureau will have nothing to do with you."
"Of course, everyone knows that this kind of thing is impossible, but the initiative is in our hands."
"Besides, we just want fairness. You two should know best what the reputation of "Inception" is and what the market demand is."
"You can't break the market rules just because it's a nationally-branded film! Unless your theater chain doesn't want to make money!"
Xu He breathed a sigh of relief, that's it.
Yang Siwei continued: "You two are the leaders of the theater chain, as long as you adjust the film scheduling rate."
"Let the news out again, and the other six theater chains will know the reason. We will learn from each other.”
“After all, compared with Huayi, we are your God of Wealth. This is an indisputable fact and everyone understands it.”
Ye Ning and Xu He left.
Neither of them spoke, but they both recognized a fact in their hearts.
Today's Rongchen Pictures is more domineering than the new pictures of the year.
Separating from Ye Ning and Xu He, Yang Siwei quickly called her boss back.
“Boss, as you expected, Ye Ning and Xu He have no objections.”
"Xu He also said that it was just right to teach Feng Xiaogang a lesson, so that Feng Xiaogang would not point at the monk and scold the bald donkey!"
Yang Siwei was amused, but she also felt that Xu He was right.
