Episode 741: Zheng Xiyi's faction talent
Zheng Xiyi deliberately paused for a few seconds, and then raised his hand and pinched his fingers to count, "Everyone has watched the movie just now, you should still remember who the bad guys are in it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The killer is from Thailand, the drug dealer and the human organ dealer are Korean, plus the protagonist who is mistaken for the Chinese, oops, in this way, "Lone Agent" not only alludes to the Chinese, but also insinuates that the Koreans and Thais are criminals, and the crime is more serious, and the protagonist who is coerced to transport drugs is completely incomparable, and this kind of criminal can be dragged out and shot for five minutes no matter which country he is in......"
Jingwei reacted the fastest, immediately understood what Zheng Xiyi meant, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled silently, everyone in the audience also laughed, the tense atmosphere in the screening room disappeared instantly, Lu Song just wanted to interject, but Zheng Xiyi rushed before him and said: "Moreover, according to the logic of Reporter Lu, if the background of any bad guy in the film and television work is set as a Chinese, it is insinuating that the Chinese are criminals, then Hong Kong's "Crazy Boy" series, "Prison Storm" series, "True Colors of Heroes" series of movies, and the mainland's "Six Groups of Serious Cases" Series of TV series and so on have the same problems as "Lone Agent", I wonder if Reporter Lu has asked the production staff of these movies and TV series the question he just asked me?"
Lu Song's face was flushed by Zheng Xiyi, and he shouted angrily: "You are secretly changing concepts! This is a strong word!"
Zheng Xiyi turned his face and said coldly: "Yes, I'm trying to change my ideas and change my concepts, but why can't you change my concepts? Reporter Lu, I'm an American, and it's my camp talent to change concepts and reason strongly, and I'm full of them as soon as I was born!"
Lu Song was stunned, but he didn't expect Zheng Xiyi to answer like this, and the others also looked at Zheng Xiyi blankly, but Wang Ziwen, who was sitting in the first row, laughed and applauded, Jingwei couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said while laughing: "Xiyi, you are an American, is it really good to be so black America?"
Zheng Xiyi half-turned to look at Jingwei, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't hack the United States, secretly changing concepts and arguing with strong words is indeed protected by the US Constitution." ”
"Ah, does the U.S. Constitution still have provisions to protect these?" Jingwei looked at Zheng Xiyi blankly.
Zheng Xiyi explained very seriously: "The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the free speech clause ......"
Jingwei didn't expect such an answer, he smiled and then bent down with a smile, and the audience also burst into laughter, almost everyone covered their stomachs with laughter, only Lu Song stood there with a red face and didn't know what to do. The other two reporters standing beside him saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly half-pushed and half-pulled him to walk towards the passage, and the security guards didn't pay attention to them anymore, only watched them leave with mocking eyes.
This farce finally ended, Jingwei saw that the time was almost up, and he was worried that there would be another problem, so he quickly ended the reporter's question session, although the remaining reporters still wanted to ask Zheng Xiyi a few more questions, but they all took the organizer's car and horse fees, and they also knew that it was impossible for people to ask questions in this situation now. Besides, with such a farce, everyone has enough things to write, so they didn't bother anymore, and just dragged Zheng Xiyi to take photos for five more minutes and let him go.
Zheng Xiyi returned to the VIP lounge backstage, Li Zhengyu, who was in charge of the premiere and the media conference, was already waiting with sweat, and Liu Xianyu said with a straight face when he saw him: "How did you arrange it, how could such a thing happen?" On behalf of S.M.C&C and Mr. Zheng Xiyi, I strongly protest to you, today's incident is too bad!"
Che Xianglan didn't translate immediately, but looked at Zheng Xiyi, hoping that he could say a few words to ease up, but Zheng Xiyi didn't say anything, and walked to the sofa and sat down, Cui Shanyi immediately came over to wipe his sweat and makeup, blocking the eyes of others by the way. Even if Zheng Xiyi skillfully refuted Lu Song and did not let Lu Song succeed, but with such a serious problem at the well-prepared premiere, it is impossible for the organizer to evade responsibility, and Liu Xianyu on behalf of the company and Zheng Xiyi to Li Zhengyu is also on the matter, not playing a big name, the public is public and private is private, so Zheng Xiyi will not come out and thin mud.
Seeing that Zheng Xiyi ignored him, Che Xianglan had no choice but to translate Liu Xianyu's words to his boss, Li Zhengyu scolded Lu Song and "Guangdong Express" in his heart, while explaining: "It is indeed our responsibility for this kind of thing, but we didn't know in advance that the reporter would ask such a question, and the question he submitted in advance was not this ......"
Liu Xianyu frowned and said: "Although it is true that the main responsibility is not on your side, the reporter was invited by you, so you are also jointly and severally liable, and I hope you can handle everything as soon as possible and report it to us." ”
"Yes, yes, we have already dealt with it, we have communicated with other reporters, and although we cannot prohibit them from reporting on this matter, I guarantee that there will be no false reports that will have a negative impact on your company and Mr. Zheng Xiyi. Li Yuzheng nodded again and again.
Liu Xianyu thought about it and felt that there was nothing more to say, so he walked up to Zheng Xiyi and asked, "Xiyi, what is your opinion?"
Zheng Xiyi stood up, walked slowly to Li Zhengyu and Che Xianglan and said: "Although you have appeased other reporters, Lu Song and others will not discredit "Lone Agent" and me because I have refuted them, even if there will be no large-scale negative reports, there will definitely be them, and it will inevitably incite the national sentiment of some Chinese people." There are more than a billion people in China, even if only a very small part of them are instigated, it is a terrible number, coupled with the help of social networks, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale boycott, do you have a corresponding solution?"
Li Zhengyu couldn't help but look at Zheng Xiyi twice, if Liu Xianyu said these words, he wouldn't feel strange at all, but now it was Zheng Xiyi, who was a star, who said this, which made him feel a little playful. Li Zhengyu has been in the Huaxia film and television distribution circle for more than ten years, and has been responsible for the promotion of more than a dozen overseas films.
Zheng Xiyi saw what he was thinking, but he naturally didn't explain it to Li Zhengyu, but just continued to ask: "What, Mr. Li, haven't you prepared any backup plan?"
Li Zhengyu was taken aback, and quickly shook his head and said: "Ah, no, no, we have an emergency public relations plan for such a situation, Mr. Zheng, please rest assured, we will definitely deal with it." ”
Zheng Xiyi didn't ask for specific details, but only said meaningfully: "That's good." You should understand that the box office performance of this movie in China is not important to me and S.M.C&C, I have already gotten the salary, no matter how good the Chinese box office is, I can only get another red envelope at most, as for the Korean distributor, in fact, I don't have too high expectations for the Chinese box office of the movie, and the most important thing about the Chinese box office should be you, so if there is really a large-scale boycott, it is your ...... that suffers."
The corners of Li Zhengyu's eyes jumped, thinking to himself whether this Zheng Xiyi is an actor or a businessman, why is everything clear?
Thinking about it, he still said to Zheng Xiyi categorically: "Please rest assured Mr. Zheng, we are very aware of the importance of this matter, and we will definitely put an end to this farce!"
Li Zhengyu naturally understands that although Zheng Xiyi's words are a bit exaggerated, most of them are facts, and the introduction of "Lone Agent" is not a big company, and it is not because of the abundant funds and strong background that the big domestic distribution companies do not pay attention to Korean films. Of course, they also know that Korean films cannot be a box office hit in China, but with Zheng Xiyi as the protagonist, and the copyright fee is not high, Yicai Pictures still has some expectations for the box office of "Lone Agent", so it will make such a big battle, inviting nearly 100 reporters from dozens of media, but they didn't expect to be disturbed.
In fact, even if "Lonely Agent" is boycotted by the Chinese people, the color film will not lose much money, but the account cannot be calculated in this way, not only monetary losses are called losses. If "Lone Agent" is boycotted, the reputation of Yicai Pictures, a company that has only been established for less than a year in the Chinese film and television industry, will be ruined, and in this industry, reputation is often more important than money, so it is absolutely impossible for Yicai Pictures to let a reporter or a media smash their brand.
Zheng Xiyi nodded and stretched out his hand to Li Zhengyu, "I'm sorry, I can't stay and deal with this matter with you, but I believe in the ability of Mr. Li and your company." ”
Li Zhengyu held Zheng Xiyi's hand and shook it vigorously, and said apologetically: "I'm also sorry, I can't send Mr. Zheng to the airport in person......"
Let go of his hand, Zheng Xiyi bent down to say goodbye to Li Zhengyu and Cha Xianglan, Kim Seungmin and Han Shanyi had already packed their luggage, and when they saw that Zheng Xiyi had finished talking to each other, they came over, and Liu Xianyu saluted each other to say goodbye, Cha Xianglan and Li Zhengyu also hurriedly returned the salute, and then sent Zheng Xiyi and his party out the back door with the staff of the cinema.
Zheng Xiyi's overseas itinerary is not only in China, he also has to rush to Tokyo to attend the Tokyo premiere of "Lone Agent" tomorrow.
"Lone Agent" was South Korea's box office champion last year, and in the past year, the film has been released in the United States, Canada, France, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other countries and regions, leaving only Huaxia and Japan, the two largest film markets in Asia, due to scheduling reasons. However, the Chinese film market has only begun to rise in recent years, and Korean films have never had good results in China, so Korean distributors have never counted on the Chinese box office, and what they really value is Japan.
Japan is small, but it is the world's second largest film market after the United States, and Zheng Xiyi's popularity in Japan is now comparable to that of a local superstar, Zheng Xiyi was supposed to rush to the airport immediately after the premiere and flew to Tokyo overnight to attend the Japanese premiere of "Lone Agent" tomorrow, but there was an accident at the media meeting, so he stayed, and now that he has received the promise of the other party, he naturally can't delay it any longer.
