Chapter 783: Embarrassing Situation!

"Miss Zhang, you are really more beautiful than the big stars on TV, who wants to marry you is really blessed!"

"Aunt Zhao, don't praise me!"

"Hehe, a pound of tomatoes, for you, take it!"

"Thank you!"

Every morning, Zhang Ziling habitually goes to the vegetable market near her home to buy vegetables, that is, this eldest lady, enjoys it.

Walking home with a basket of vegetables, she stopped when she passed a book and newspaper stall, and with a casual sweep of her eyes, she saw an eye-catching news headline in a newspaper: TVB's "Inception" set off a sci-fi trend!

"Do you want to buy a newspaper, I suggest you buy this Oriental Morning Post, this is the hottest newspaper this morning, and there is the last one left. ”

The newspaper owner saw Zhang Ziling looking at the picture of "Inception" in the newspaper, and hurriedly took it out.

Pointing to the headline on the front page, he said, "Do you know that Inception is the best sci-fi movie in recent times." ”

"yes, I'll take a look. Zhang Ziling picked up the newspaper and asked casually: "Is this newspaper very popular, is it because of the movie?"

"Yes, the "Oriental Morning Post" started to promote three days ago, it is old, today I purchased 500 copies of the newspaper, I didn't expect it to be less, it was sold out in an hour, it seems that I will buy a thousand copies tomorrow. ”

Seeing the boss's happy expression, Zhang Ziling felt a little pride in his heart.

Why?

Because he saw Yang Fei's name under "Inception", this is her man's work!

"Do you know that the investor of "Inception" is my man?" Zhang Ziling's thought flashed in her heart, and she resisted the urge to tell this boss.

Zhang Ziling opened the second page of the newspaper and looked at it, and the whole page was full of comments on "Inception".

Before I could take a closer look, two junior high school boys came to the newsstand.

"Boss, a copy of the Oriental Morning Post. ”

"No, it's gone!"

"Ah, no, I went to three newspaper kiosks, but I didn't buy them. ”

A little boy hung his head and said dejectedly, while the other boy looked at the newspaper in Zhang Ziling's hand and said embarrassedly: "Sister, can you sell me your "Oriental Morning Post"?"

Zhang Ziling smiled and said, "Why do you want to buy this newspaper?"

The little boy said, "I want to see the Inception photo above. ”

Another boy said, "My mom didn't take me to the movies last night, I didn't even see Inception, I want to see what the photos in the newspaper are?

"Hehe, my sister will give you the newspaper!"

"Thank you, sister!"

The two little boys were so happy that they took the newspaper and left, reading it as they went.

"You go slower, I can't see clearly!"

"I'll read it before I show you!"

"No, I'll see it too, let's go to the park over there!"

Looking at the distant backs of the two little boys, Zhang Ziling smiled on his face......

Atlantis Headquarters Building.

"Natalie Portman, what are you doing!" said Le Yiling, director of Atlantis' Artist Division, angrily throwing a newspaper in front of the heroine, Natalie Portman.

The newspaper was just an unknown tabloid, but the news was quoted and reprinted by many newspapers, and it was about Natalie Portman accompanying her mother to buy a fanfic of Inception at the mall.

With the popularity of "Inception", a number of dolls in the play have become popular in the Xiangjiang market.

Natalie Portman's mother likes the protagonist Leonardo DiCaprio so much that she bought Leonardo DiCaprio's fanficature, but she didn't want to be photographed by reporters.

Natalie Portman is one of the leading actors of "Devouring the Stars", a popular Hollywood heroine, and being photographed with such a picture is undoubtedly equivalent to helping promote "Inception".

Usually this is not much news, but now is an extraordinary period, TVB and Atlantis are fighting for the box office, no wonder Le Yiling is angry.

Natalie Portman gave her a blank look and said, "My mom likes Leonardo DiCaprio so much, what can I do?" ”

She is a popular Hollywood celebrity, she was invited, if Charlie hadn't given her a high signing fee and signed a contract with her to join Atlantis Film and Television, otherwise she would have scolded her.

Le Yiling patted his mouth, changed his tone and said: "Natalie Portman, don't be angry, I'm worried that Mr. Cha will be angry with you after reading the news! You know that Mr. Cha has been holding his breath for the past few days, do you know, yesterday afternoon, Matt Damon (the actor) was scolded by Mr. Cha, and Matt Damon didn't gnaw!"

Why is he angry?

It's not because "Devouring the Stars" lost to "Inception".

Natalie Portman also changed her tone, "So what?"

"I've asked someone to buy all the newspapers, don't let Mr. Cha see it!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank me for what, you are my idol, I watch every one of your movies. ”

Natalie Portman understood as soon as she heard it, she was still her own little movie fan.

The actress of Atlantis's "Devouring the Starry Sky" is Natalie Portman, and if he has a contract, he will definitely cooperate with the promotion, but at present, Mr. Cha is still angry, and he will be unhappy.

This kind of thing, he is also helpless.

They also couldn't have imagined that Atlantis would be in the embarrassing situation it is in today.

"Devouring the Starry Sky" was released for a week and won a box office of 4.3 billion, which was a big hit, but in the past few days, the top management of Atlantis Film and Television has not been happy, and the general manager Chad has been in a bad mood, all of which are affected by TVB's "Inception".

"Inception" has a good reputation in Xiangjiang for a week after its release, and the box office popularity has exceeded 6 billion box office, with a difference of 17 box office losses this time!

Now newspapers all over the world have called "Inception" a miracle, the box office legend, and those reports are more or less suspected of being touted by TVB, but the terrifying box office of "Inception" is an indisputable fact.

Chad lowered the watch with a gloomy face.

"Boom".

The newspaper in Chard's hand crumpled up, arced gracefully through the air, bounced off the door, and rolled a few more times on the soft carpet.

Just then, Charlie walked in.

Looking at the paper ball, and the angry look, everything is understood.

Charlie shook his head and smiled, bent down to pick up the newspaper ball, and threw it into the trash.

"Angry after losing once?"

Chad got up, made Charlie a cup of tea, sat back on the sofa, calmed down his anger for a while, and said, "He is too proud, do you see that they also chose to hold a celebration banquet in the Cantonese Pavilion, which is not clear to us to look ugly?"

On the second day of the premiere of "Devouring the Starry Sky", Baba held a celebration banquet at the Cantonese Banquet, which has now become a meme for the media to ridicule Atlantis Film and Television, and now that "Inception" is in place, no wonder Chad is angry.

However, this is a trivial matter in Charlie's eyes.

Atlantis Film and Television has not lost without losses, and it is normal to have losses and gains in business.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the real reason why Chad was angry was that he lost to a young man of the Celestial Empire, and he lost twice in a row, and he couldn't get over his face for a while.

And he looks down on Wanye Investment, he thinks it's just a nouveau riche.

It's like doing the same business, but when it comes to a media boss, everyone will naturally associate negative news such as nouveau riche, local tyrants, and black money.

Now that he has lost to a nouveau riche tyrant, can Chad, who considers himself a wealthy nobleman, not sulk?

I'm not convinced!

Having fallen twice at the same person's hand, and being his rival in love, Chad was really holding his breath for a while.

Chad called Zeng Lizhen, the director of the wireless program production department, and before she could speak, Zeng Lizhen had already said in advance: "Mr. Cha, TVB is uneasy and unreasonable, and will hold a TV lottery in order to attract ratings, and the first prize is a seven-day tour of the Maldives." ”

"TVB will do it, won't you?" Chad said in a deep voice, "I'm going to see a new publicity plan come out soon!"

Zeng Lizhen reminded: "Mr. Cha, TVB's approach is completely regardless of the cost, and they continue to spend money in the newspaper after the release, and their publicity has spent at least more than 50 million, and there is no such publicity." ”。

Chard's face is not good-looking, Yang Fei is smashing it with money, but Atlantis Film and Television must also follow TVB to go crazy this time: "No matter what, we can't lose anymore, regardless of the cost." ”

"Understood!" Zeng Lizhen left under pressure.
