164. Wounded 3,000 enemies, 800 self-damaged (6000 words for subscription!)
There was a lot of uproar about Xu Shi on the Internet, and it was on the hot search in a very short period of time, and many entertainment reporters are also paying attention to this matter, as for the truth of the matter, it is none of their business, all they need is heat.
So when Xu Shi invited them to the press conference, all these reporters were excited.
No matter what Xu Shihui says, it is a big melon for them, and it can attract a lot of clicks and attention, which is enough.
At ten o'clock the next day, all the reporters who received the invitation came, and not only that, but many reporters who did not receive the invitation also came.
"Thank you reporters for being able to attend this press conference, I won't talk nonsense, if you have any questions, you can ask questions now. Xu Shi said directly.
"Mr. Xu, what do you want to say about some of your remarks on the Internet right now?" a reporter first asked.
Xu Shi replied: "This matter is exactly the purpose of my invitation to come this time, the remarks about Zhang Zhen and these people are completely nonsense, it's really a shame that they have the face to say such things." ”
Xu Shi's mouth made these reporters excited, and they wanted to see Xu Shi's remarks like this, not mediocre words.
"What is the situation, and why is your film being divested, and is there anything you would like to explain about the accusations of being overbearing by investors?"
"How do I answer so many questions you ask? Forget it, let's come one by one. ”
Xu Shi cleared his throat and said: "First of all, the matter about divestment is entirely because our two sides have different opinions, so they withdrew their investment. ”
"What disagreement?"
"I really want to talk about this in detail, I believe everyone has heard some news, that is, "Super Hero 4" will be released in China tomorrow summer, everyone has heard of this matter, right?"
The reporters all nodded, they still knew something about this kind of thing, but they didn't know for sure.
"The themes of our new movies have a certain degree of overlap with "Super 4", they are all sci-fi action movies, but I dare to guarantee that there is no overlap in the content, just the overlap of the themes. ”
Before Xu Shi finished speaking, the reporters in the audience wanted to ask questions, but they were suppressed by Xu Shi.
"Don't worry, listen to me first. Xu Shi motioned for everyone to be quiet first, and then continued: "And the original plan of our movie was also to be released in the summer, which met with "Super 4", so Zhang Zhen, Liu Xi and others felt that our film was a box office failure because of this, so they wanted me to finish filming as soon as possible, and while I still have a little heat and reputation, I will make a fortune before "Super 4" comes in."
Doing so means that our films will become shoddy rather than polished.
They will only look at their own interests, and they will not care about the feelings of the audience, they only want money and do not think about anything else. ”
Xu Shi told everything here, and also told Zhang Zhen and their purpose completely, without the slightest intention of hiding it for them.
After Xu Shi finished speaking, the reporters were in an uproar, although they could almost guess it, but they didn't expect Xu Shi to be so rigid and say it directly without the slightest concealment.
You must know that it is not only investors like Zhang Zhen who are guilty of such crimes, but also some other investors, how can they do such a thing?
After Xu Shi does this, who else will dare to invest in his films in the future?
"They did this completely without regard for the audience's viewing experience, so I refused their request, in my opinion, no matter what happens, making a good movie is the most basic, and everything else has been put on the back burner.
Because I had the biggest investment in the film, and I had signed contracts before, I had a veto in the film, so they threatened me with divestment.
Since everyone can't talk about it, the opinions of the two sides are different, then there is nothing to say, I didn't block anything about their withdrawal, I agreed directly, and now the contract has been signed, and the money will be paid to all of them in a few days.
But what I didn't expect was that they actually slandered me on the Internet, and I really didn't want to lose face at all. ”
Xu Shi's sharp words made the reporters shine brightly, this is big news, and it definitely has a breaking point.
"Mr. Xu, how is your current film shooting? After this round of divestment turmoil, can the film still be completed with quality and quantity?
Will the quality of the movie deteriorate because of this, and you can also postpone the release, why do Zhang Zhen and others have to release it in advance? Is there anything else going on?"
"First of all, the quality of the film is absolutely guaranteed, and after they withdrew their investment, Corn and I and two other investors have already filled the gap in these funds, so you can rest assured that there will never be shoddy production. ”
"There's also the issue of the delay of the film, which is really a bit of an inside story, but it's good for our film because we have a partnership with Blue Bull that will help us promote the film when it comes out in July at the latest.
So in Zhang Zhen's view, if you want to maximize profits, the movie must be released in advance. ”
Xu Shi answered their questions one by one, and these answers also made many reporters very satisfied, which was the breaking point they wanted.
Xu Shi broke out a lot of things at this press conference, first of all, the problem of internal contradictions, from the perspective of bystanders, especially from the perspective of the audience, Xu Shi has no problem at all, it is all the problem of Zhang Zhen and others.
There is also the fact that Xu Shi wants to fight in the ring with "Super 4", although Xu Shi did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words is like this.
This is the real big breaking point, and compared to this one, the others are not very good.
In the end, Xu Shi once again pressed all his net worth and bet on this movie, which is another big news.
The reporters who came this time felt that the trip was worthwhile, and every word of Xu Shi was a worthy report for them.
Now some reporters are starting to think about how to write and what to focus on.
The press conference lasted more than an hour before it ended, during which the reporters raised many questions, and Xu Shidu answered them one by one.
In the afternoon, these news were released by reporters, and it was not until this time that a group of netizens knew the true situation of the matter.
And Xu Shi's comments also turned around all of a sudden, not only these reporters were fueling the troubles, but also the corn side also stood up, showing that what Xu Shi said was completely the truth of the facts, without any exaggeration or fiction.
Many netizens on the Internet began to praise Xu Shi for his sense of responsibility and not to fool the audience with defective products.
And Zhang Zhen and they are miserable, not only were they scolded by netizens, but more importantly, after this incident, it will be more difficult for them to invest in movies in the future.
Directors with a little bit of ideals and abilities really don't necessarily accept their investment, and no one wants their films to be made well, and then for a little reason, they are threatened with withdrawal by investors, making their films shoddy.
You must know that not every director has such a thick capital as Xu Shi who can fill this big hole.
Also, not everyone has the courage to throw so much money into it.
When Zhang Zhen and the others knew these news, their faces became extremely ugly, they didn't expect Xu Shi to really dare to do this.
And the development of things is far beyond their expectations, originally they thought that although it seemed a little unorthodox for them and others to do this, it would not be too much of a problem.
After all, they have money, and it's not easy to invest in movies?
But they didn't expect them to vaguely hear some news, that is, many people in the film industry don't want their investment, and even speak out, as long as it's their investment, they don't want it.
What's even more terrifying is not these things, they are not familiar with the film industry after all, and this investment in Xu Shi is also because they saw Sun Tu and they made money.
Their main targets are actually other industries, and if you want to say anything else in the entertainment industry, the popularity and speed of news are quite fast.
They are also written down by some of the investors who seek investment, and they don't want their investment unless they have to.
No way, no one would have thought that at a critical moment, in the darkest hour before dawn, the project would be finished with a pat on the head by these ignorant people.
You must know that as long as many things are survived, then everything is easy to say, but I am afraid of falling off the chain at the most critical moment, especially in the early stage of entrepreneurship, encountering such things is like a natural disaster.
Therefore, this time Xu Shi can be regarded as injuring 3,000 enemies and losing 800 himself.
He may suffer some difficulties in his future investment, but Zhang Zhen and these people are even more finished, maybe even if he encounters a good project in the future, there is a great chance of making money, but because of this incident, others rejected his investment.
Xu Shi also swiped a good review on the Internet again because of this incident, and everyone wants to see works full of sincerity, not works that fool people.
Xu Shi used his tough attitude to show that no matter what happens, he will stick to his principles and will not compromise with capital.
This kind of thing is still very popular, and it is also very popular.
This is still very consistent with Xu Shi's character in the minds of most people, the image of a tough guy, and he will never compromise.
is also because of such a thing, Xu Shi's reputation on the Internet has improved a lot again, and relatively, the box office appeal has also increased invisibly, but these can only be seen when the movie is released.
At the same time, the corn side also took this opportunity to start packaging and promoting Xu Shi's new movie, no matter what, to leave some impressions in everyone's minds.
..............
Xu Shi stopped caring about this matter after seeing the reversal of the comments on him on the Internet, and he had already done everything he had to do.
When he came to the crew again and saw the concerned looks of some crew members, Xu Shi said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, this little thing is not difficult for me, and the matter is solved, everyone's rest assured that the job is." ”
After calming the crew members, Xu Shi gathered the main members together and prepared to discuss the script.
"Director Xu, is it really okay? I think this matter is quite a big trouble, you must not be spoiled by such a thing, this is very bad for the movie. Zhai Meirong asked with concern.
Xu Shi said with a smile: "Aunt Zhai, don't worry, these are trivial things, and there is no problem with the crew's funds, we still shoot according to the original plan, and when the time comes, we will fight in the ring with "Super 4". ”
This is the first time that Xu Shi has spoken this thought in front of everyone.
"As long as Director Xu is confident, I also want to see what the result of the showdown between us and "Super 4" is, maybe I can go abroad to win a Best Supporting Actress. Zhai Meirong also said with a smile.
Although many people are not optimistic about the box office of Xu Shi's movie, Xu Shi's words can be regarded as completely raising everyone's hearts.
In fact, everyone here understands that it may not be possible to have the upper hand at the box office, but they are not without confidence at all, because they all know that this script surpasses "Super 4" in terms of storytelling, and the plot is also more interesting, but it is a little worse in terms of commerciality.
Commerciality does not mean that you can just give more advertising, it includes all aspects.
And the investment is not as much as others, which means that their special effects are not as good as theirs, which is also a weakness.
But at the moment, everyone ignores these things in the past, and now they only need to act in the movie well, and the rest will be left to the audience.
.............
"Director Xu, how are you going to arrange the next scene? Do you perform the desperate scene of 'Xanadu' first, or skip this scene first?" Zhai Meirong said.
Now that the filming has reached a critical juncture, when Truman is complacent, he will encounter a series of things that make him truly recognize the reality, and this time is also the most desperate thing for Truman.
How can you not despair, some people often say that even if the whole world abandons you, you should not despair.
But it was just chicken soup, and Truman was really abandoned by the whole world, and the whole world was watching his jokes.
How could Truman not despair when encountering such a thing?
That loving mother, loving wife, close friends, neighbors who accompany each other, etc., etc.
These are all fake, they are all acted, how can such things not make people despair!
But this part of the play is also the most difficult to act, is such despair going to explode, or is it silence?
Xu Shi still hasn't grasped the emotion yet, and he doesn't know how to play this scene well.
"Let's skip this scene for the time being, wait for me to find out how I feel, and isn't there still a little bit of the scene here, just after filming a year ago, and then go to 'Xanadu' to shoot Truman's desperate scene. Xu Shi said.
"Okay, then I'll go back first, it's just that I don't have anything to do, and I'll come over next year." Zhai Meirong said as soon as she heard Xu Shi's arrangement.
is about to celebrate the New Year, and since there is no role for her, she will stay in the crew anymore.
Xu Shi nodded and said: "It's troublesome Aunt Zhai during this time, you can go to the finance side to get a New Year's red envelope later, it is the New Year's blessing from the crew to everyone, everyone has it." ”
"Haha, then I'm not welcome, thank you, it seems that the crew is really not short of money, and there is money to send red envelopes. Zhai Meirong said with a smile.
"If you don't have money, you won't lack this, you can just take it. ”
After Zhai Meirong left, Xu Shi also arranged things here, and the next scenes were more thrilling action scenes, so there were a lot of preparations that needed to be made.
"Dapeng, when will you arrive here? Xu Shi picked up his mobile phone and called Cheng Dapeng.
Cheng Dapeng is now playing the third male lead in the TV series in other crews, which is a good role.
This time, Xu Shi originally wanted to use other actors to play the role of the leader of the black-clothed agents, but when he encountered such a thing, he decided to choose Cheng Dapeng.
No way, Cheng Dapeng also has some fans now, although there are not many, but it can also attract some people to watch.
encountered such a thing, of course, Xu Shi had to do everything he could to increase the box office.
Cheng Dapeng also knew Xu Shi's difficulties, so he had no opinion on this, but was a little excited.
In fact, what he wants to act in most is Xu Shi's movie, and it is very thrilling, which makes him feel like he can't stop, and being able to help Xu Shi makes him even more happy.
"My side is about to end, and then there are almost five days of vacation, Brother Xu, do you think this time is enough? If it is not enough, I will invite two more days." Cheng Dapeng said.
"Enough, it's not too many scenes, there were only so many years ago, and the rest won't be more until the new year, do you have any difficulties over there?"
"There is no difficulty, now our side is about to be completed, and there are only a few scenes left, but our crew does not have a holiday for the New Year, so it will be almost finished in a few days after the year, and I will have no other arrangements at that time. Cheng Dapeng told all the arrangements on his side.
Xu Shi nodded and said, "That's good, then you should be careful when filming, there is no insurance company to insure us now." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Shi is a little depressed, since the last insurance expired, no one has accepted him when he goes to apply for insurance, and other insurance companies now know that Xu Shi and his people are crazy in acting, so they all refuse his insurance.
As for Cheng Dapeng, these people are completely dragged down by him, otherwise the insurance company can still reluctantly accept these people alone, as long as they don't act in Xu Shi's movies.
Now Xu Shi has begun to think about whether to go abroad to fool an insurance company, otherwise this will not work, and there is no protection in his heart.
However, this matter is not in a hurry, Xu Shi called the corn side again, and the special effects company will be needed soon, and many things need to be shot on specific occasions and with specific costumes, so the special effects company must also be settled as soon as possible.
Last time, Xu Shi mentioned this matter to Corn, so that they could find a suitable special effects company as soon as possible, after all, Corn is also familiar with these companies.
Xu Shi also gave the conditions, not afraid of expensive, afraid of bad results, so you must find a company with great special effects, not the kind of five-cent special effects.
In this regard, the plot arranged by Xu Shi is like this.
Truman suffered a series of things, so he finally chose to join the hacker group, and his talent began to be slowly discovered.
The purpose of the hacker group is not to want the public to indulge in virtual illusions, so the focus is on people who have been addicted to the virtual world for a long time.
It's like some teenagers are addicted to virtual reality online games, then they will hack into these games and ruin the gaming experience of these people.
For example, when the player is fighting monsters, he is about to hit the final boss, but a small monster suddenly locks his blood, and then turns into a big boss, which is even more powerful than the final boss, and directly destroys these players.
Another example is a racing game, where the player is about to win the championship, only to find that there is suddenly a chasm in front of him that cannot be crossed.
Or simply move the finish line backwards automatically, and you won't be able to cross the finish line anyway.
Or you can make trouble for them halfway through the game and make it impossible for them to play the game properly.
This is only a small part of them, there are still many people who are addicted to other things, such as the beautiful scenery that has been addicted to the virtual fantasy world, and does not return to reality once a month, then you will suddenly find that these beautiful scenery suddenly become a terrifying abyss, and there are some demons crying wolf howls in it.
Or is it the people who are obsessed with beautiful women, and suddenly find that beautiful women have become painted skin when they are doing things? Or .........
Anyway, these things are what hacker groups need to do, and the ultimate goal is not to destroy the virtual world, but to make people wake up from the virtual world and not get too addicted to it.
...............
Just when Xu Shi was thinking about this, something happened on the Internet that surprised him very much again.
That is, his song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" actually rushed to the top of the Chinese music list in terms of downloads.
Speaking of this, I still have to talk about Zhao Xiaoqing's school, since Zhao Yaoguo used this song as a school song, it began to be widely spread among the student group.
Moreover, the Education Bureau also privately praised them for choosing such a song as the school song.
With them as role models, many schools also spontaneously changed the school song or class song, and suddenly the song spread among the student group.
The student base is quite large, and parents are more receptive to such songs, so they also support the school's decision.
This has led to mass downloads, and many people say that students' money and women's money are the best to earn, and this is indeed the case.
Just because of the choice of school song or class song, the song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" suddenly rushed to the top ten on the list, and even rushed to the top of the list in the following time.
This is something that no one expected, after all, the song is full of flavor of the nineties and is not at all the tune that is popular now.
So no one took it seriously at first, after all, such a song can't be a hit.
But the actual situation really shocked everyone's jaws, Xu Shi's song really rushed to the top ten on the list, and even topped the list!
