Chapter 193: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
"Big Names" became popular all over the country, but director Feng Bicheng was suspected of being banned due to character problems. ”
Seeing this title, Feng Bicheng knew what was written in it.
Patiently watched, and sure enough.
The reason for everything is that Feng Bicheng did not appear in any of the crew promotions - of course, this is not a reason, but as long as the other party knows what the real reason is, it is enough.
Just because it doesn't explode now doesn't mean it won't explode next.
Speaking of which, inside and outside the entertainment industry, there are two different worlds, and the people who can connect these two worlds are the high-flying big names and superstars, and the other is the reporters everywhere, especially entertainment reporters and paparazzi.
It's not a secret in the circle, many people know about it, but outside the entertainment industry, for more than half a year, it was simply unheard of, but that's just because at that time, their news, whether good or bad, was worthless to reporters.
And now, "Big Names" is popular, and these things have value.
Feng Bicheng stared at the report for a long time, and after a long while, he looked up at the address bar above - it was the homepage of Xunfei's website, yes.
Whether it is within the entertainment industry or in the entertainment news circle, what is the relationship between Minghu Culture and iFLYTEK Group, especially what is the relationship between Minghu Culture and the big news division of iFLYTEK Group, it is well known.
And now, even Xunfei has posted such a news on its homepage.
Do you think that the news is getting hot, and iFLYTEK can't lag behind? Or is that Mrs. Li named Wang Jinglu using this way to vent a bad breath for her man?
Come to think of it, it won't be the latter.
How much does the reputation and reputation of a film's director have on the box office?
For some movies that no one watches, no.
But for some popular movies that everyone talks about and will definitely have more and more people excited by this discussion and enter the theater, it has a great impact.
Before and during the release of the movie, many crews will be keen to hype the heroes and heroines who fall in love with each other during the filming, and will hype up many interesting things about the crew, to put it bluntly, it is just a gimmick to attract the audience, because it is a good direction, it is attractive, but there is no inappropriate little gossip.
If the filming of a drama is completed, the actor who plays an important role in the play unfortunately dies, it is naturally sad for him personally, but for this drama, it will be a blessing in disguise - so-and-so's posthumous work, so-and-so starred in it, too deep into the play, etc., the box office suddenly touched a certain feeling, so it was a big hit.
It's all good, it's all promotional planning that the film's producer and distributor will rack their brains to conceive.
But on the other hand, if an important actor in the movie suddenly spreads bad news such as ***, drug use, or unfilial piety, beating, etc., these immoral actions will inevitably be caught by the opponent and promoted, so that the audience will have a bad impression of this movie.
The director may not be as influential as some of the main actors, but the fact that morality can sentence people to death, whether in the East or the West, has always been an extreme manifestation of public opinion.
You are a director, and your character is so good, can you export any good movies?
You must have a problem with the three views!
It's okay not to watch such a movie!
Therefore, Wang Jinglu entered the iFLYTEK Group single-handedly, not only quickly gained a foothold, but also quickly seized power, and brought the big news division of the iFLYTEK Group all the way to the point where it is now enough to keep pace with Sohu.com, her brain cannot be so simple.
This kind of thing that will obviously hurt the box office of "Big Names" and the cultural interests of Minghu is definitely not something she is subjectively willing to do - so it can only be someone else.
It's going to be ...... Zhou Yanghua?
Oh, it's strange to say, people in the bustle, feel that they understand everything, everything, but in fact, like a cloud, fascinated by it, everything seems to understand but not understand, but jumped out of the bustling, a person calm, calm, as if out of the matter, but see everything clearly.
Domestic entertainment is a game of chess.
Clearing the clouds, there are only a few people who play chess.
In addition to Minghu culture, there are suspicions.
But most likely, it must be Zhou Yanghua.
So...... What to do?
After a few minutes, Feng Bicheng sighed, reached out and pulled open the drawer of his desk, and took out a letter.
"I'm afraid that's all it can be. He thought to himself.
…………
"I'm resigning! I'm going to make it clear to the media and reporters. ”
Facing the high-level leaders of Minghu Culture in the office, Feng Bicheng lowered his head and his voice was unhurried.
The resignation letter was placed on the conference table in front of Qi Jie.
The audience was silent and looked at him.
He said: "The script of the movie was given by Mr. Li, and the actual executive director was Manager Han, and this play was actually directed by him. So, I don't have to wait for them to lift the lid step by step, I will open it myself, I confess everything, admit that there is something wrong with my character, and I regret it. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before saying: "In this way, no matter who pokes this thing in the back, there is no way to splash dirty water on the movie "Big Shot" again." ”
Collective silence.
After a long while, seeing that there was no sound around, Feng Bicheng slowly raised his head.
Li Qianzheng looked at him with blazing eyes.
He looked up, and the two of them happened to be staring at each other.
After looking at each other for two or three seconds, Li Qian turned his gaze away.
Feng Bicheng was a little surprised in his heart: if he remembered correctly, this was the first time that there had been eye contact between the two since that night.
Well, to be exact, his first face-to-face with himself.
Actually, there is no communication.
Because Li Qian's face was expressionless.
This matter, in the final analysis, is actually a matter between Li Qian and Feng Bicheng, and even if others come, they will at best make suggestions and suggestions, and have no real right to speak.
However, some of the preparations and response plans prepared by the Propaganda Department and the Distribution Department were not at all as convincing as the self-destruction plan proposed by Feng Bicheng.
As for Jin Han and Zou Wenhuai, they were silent at this time.
Han Shunzhang led the team to run propaganda outside, so naturally he couldn't come back.
Qi Jie may be the only one qualified to speak up on this matter, and in fact, she is also the only one qualified enough to make Li Qian change his mind.
But at this time, she also seemed to be a little surprised, in addition to looking at Feng Bicheng, she looked down at the handwritten resignation letter in front of her again and again.
…………
At half past ten in the morning, at the premiere of "Lonely Smoke in the Desert", the movie was just halfway through.
Du Weiyun turned his head and glanced behind him, saw that everyone was engrossed, smiled, and then quietly got up with a cat, came to the bathroom, washed his hands after going to the toilet, wiped them clean, took out a cigarette and lit one - this seems to be a habit of many directors, when others are engrossed in appreciating the work they have been busy for a year or even two years, they are more willing to hide out, smoke a cigarette, and when the time is up, they will go back to accept everyone's worship and congratulations, and accept their own glory.
Not long after the cigarette was lit on his side, Zong Chengze also slipped out.
didn't go to the toilet, he came over, took the cigarette and lighter from Du Weiyun's hand, nodded with a smile, took a puff, and said: "Look at the reaction in the audience area, they are all very devoted, the film is so good!"
Du Weiyun smiled slightly.
Everyone loves to listen to good words, and everyone is happy to listen to them.
After a pause, Du Weiyun asked, "What's going on with that?"
Zong Chengze looked at no one nearby, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I already let people arrange it yesterday afternoon, first catch Feng Bicheng and don't follow the propaganda to stir up, see what reaction they give, and then make a specific decision on the specific situation, in short, in the end, the big head will definitely be thrown out! Feng Bicheng is dead!"
After a pause, he added with a smile, "Don't care where it is, morality is such a thing as killing people, killing people without blood, and dying completely! There is no turning back!"
Du Weiyun nodded slowly, and then couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he said, "It depends, I still don't agree with this!
The evaluation of this "next work" made Zong Chengze's face suddenly stiffen - by exposing Feng Bicheng's wolf-hearted and ungrateful, he made his film director stinky on the street, and then affected the box office of "Big Shot", reducing pressure for the big sale of "Lonely Smoke in the Desert", and even clearing a major obstacle, this idea was first proposed by him at the meeting.
However, after dealing with Du Weiyun for so many years, Zong Chengze still knows him very well, and he knows that this is a very bookish person.
In fact, business competition, each has a strange trick, flies don't bite eggs, if the other party is fine, they can't splash dirty water if they want to, right?
So he smiled and said: "My Mr. Du, Director Du, of course you are full of confidence! But isn't it better to beat an opponent down and make the box office higher?"
"Think about it, because of the recent two blockbusters of Minghu Culture, especially this "Big Names", our Oriental Media has not made a single copy at all, and the chairman is also on fire!"
After a pause, he said: "Besides, even if you don't consider the chairman's side, if you think about it, "The Gate of Life and Death" sold 700 million, "Huang Feihong" sold more than 400 million, and now "Red Sorghum" will soon break 500 million, and it may even sell to 600 million in the future, my big director, what about you?"
Du Weiyun turned his head to look at him when he heard this, his face displeased.
But Zong Chengze grinned, "How can our "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" have to be more than 500 million, so you can straighten your waist and say that you are one of the top directors in China, right?"
Du Weiyun was speechless.
Zong Chengze smiled again, "In the first week of release, it is extremely critical, we really can't take any risks! The momentum of this "Big Shot" is so fierce, if we don't press it down, if it explodes again this week, how can we get it? Even if "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" steadily suppresses it, the box office will still be diluted!"
Du Weiyun pursed his lips and stopped squeaking.
In fact, when he saw Zhou Yanghua so angry, he actually had a feeling of sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, and when he heard Zhou Yanghua ask him to arrange the finalization of "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" closer to "Big Names", and strive to directly extinguish the second drama released by Minghu Culture this year, he really didn't feel any difficulty, so he agreed to come down.
In his opinion at the time, this was really just a "convenient thing" - but who would have thought that a guy who pounced like that in his last movie would actually come up with such a work all of a sudden!
The box office exploded all at once!
Taking a deep breath, taking a puff on a cigarette, I was just about to speak, when suddenly the sound of high heels came from outside.
The two looked at each other and tacitly did not speak.
The high heels got closer and closer, and then, Du Yihua appeared in front of the two.
She was startled, and then laughed, "Yo...... Why are you two here with a cat?"
Zong Chengze glanced at the phone in her hand.
His eyes went down, and the straight and slender legs, which were not wearing stockings, were bright and white, dazzling - he smiled, "Smoke a cigarette with Director Du Da! Why did Mr. Du come out? The movie is not good?"
Du Yihua rolled his eyes, "Don't hook me, the director is here, what do you mean by asking?"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Du Weiyun, "Boss Du, the film is handsome!"
Du Weiyun smiled reservedly.
Zong Chengze laughed hehehe.
Then, without waiting for them to ask again, Du Yihua shook the mobile phone in his hand and said with a smile: "There is a call, it is not easy to answer in it, I will come out and give it back to that side." ”
The two of them were stunned.
At this time, Du Yihua didn't seem to have any taboos, first took out a cigarette and lit it, and then directly started dialing in front of Du Weiyun and Zong Chengze.
At this moment, Du Weiyun felt embarrassed to listen to it, and just as the cigarette was about to run out, he pressed it on the trash can and said, "I'll go back first." Then he walked out.
Zong Chengze quickly extinguished the cigarette and chased him out.
Walking in the corridor, I heard that Du Yihua's phone seemed to be connected.
"Well, it's me, it's inconvenient to pick up just now, you have something to say. ”
"Yo, in a hurry?"
"Hmm...... Well...... Leave this to me!"
"Of course it's true! I didn't talk about it! I told you I needed someone like me!"
"This girl doesn't want anything, so she wants you to owe me this favor. ”
The two men drifted apart.
…………
Li Qian stood up, his fingers unconsciously knocked twice on the table, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said calmly: "Dismiss!"
Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he got up and walked out.
Usually Qi Jie is responsible for saying this, at this time she was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her in amazement, she raised her hand and pressed down, and added, "Then let's break up the meeting first!" and chased out.
Feng Bicheng was stunned.
When everyone was gone, he noticed that his resignation letter was still on the other side of the conference table, and Mr. Qi didn't take it away.
So what the hell...... Did you resign, or did you not resign?
…………
Qi Jie chased all the way out and followed Li Qian to the rooftop.
When he came to the bar, Li Qian said directly: "Give me a cigarette." ”
The bartender at the rooftop bar was stunned for a moment, took out half of his box of cigarettes and handed it over, Li Qian took it, lit it with his fire, smoked a cigarette, and walked to the edge of the rooftop.
Qi Jie then followed.
Li Qian walked out of the small door, leaned on the wall by the rooftop, and smoked one cigarette after another.
Qi Jie didn't speak, but also leaned on the wall, tilting his head sideways and looking at him.
Half a cigarette passed, and Li Qian turned his head to look at her.
Qi Jie smiled and said, "Reluctant?"
Li Qian smiled and shook his head.
Qi Jie sighed and said: "It is said that since the film was reviewed, he arrived at seven or eight o'clock every day, cleaned up, and took the initiative to run to clean the editing room, and then sat in his small office, drinking tea, reading newspapers, and writing scripts. ”
Li Qian looked blankly into the distance, and only nodded after a while, but said, "I know." ”
Qi Jie shrugged, stopped talking, turned around, leaned against the wall, leaned on it, and accompanied Li Qian in a daze.
After a while, Li Qian threw the pipe at his feet, wanted to step on it, his feet were raised, and he suddenly looked up at Qi Jie and said, "You try, see if you can use your heel to extinguish it...... Heels, just your high heels, don't use the front one, give you two chances!"
Qi Jie was surprised, not knowing what this was playing.
But, glancing down at the cigarette butt on the ground, she took a look and stepped on it with a clatter.
When I lifted my foot, I saw that it was not extinguished.
Da!
Hey...... This time it was also a little crooked, and the point was that the heel was too thin.
Da!
Well, extinguished!
However, it was three times.
She shrugged her shoulders and smiled and asked, "How do you think of this?"
Li Qian smiled, didn't answer, and suddenly took out his mobile phone.
However, after the number was dialed, they refused to answer.
Qi Jie looked at him, he looked at the tall buildings outside the wall.
About two or three minutes later, the phone rang.
Li Qian pressed the answer and put it to his ear.
"I'm Li Qian. ”
"Well, it's me, it's inconvenient to pick up just now, you have something to say. ”
"Someone wants to engage Feng Bicheng, the purpose is to take the opportunity to beat "Big Names". It should be Zhou Yanghua's side, right?"
"Yo, in a hurry?"
"Can you help me out?"
"Hmm...... Well...... Leave this to me!"
“…… Really?"
"Of course it's true! I didn't talk about it! I told you I needed someone like me!"
"Well, I'll leave it to you this time...... What do you want? as long as I can ......."
"This girl doesn't want anything, so she wants you to owe me this favor. ”
“……”
"Say, do you want to tear it up, no one should have a good time, or ...... You want to save people?"
"Save the people!"
"Okay! I'll send you a piece of information when I go back, and send you Zhou Yanghua's private email address, you can find someone and send that information to Zhou Yanghua's private mailbox. He's sure to be right away!"
…………
After hanging up the phone, Li Qian put away his mobile phone and looked at Qi Jie.
After a while, Qi Jie said, "She...... It's a bit dangerous, but the energy is really big. ”
Li Qian smiled, "Seek the skin of the tiger and seek it!"
