Chapter 725: Turmoil in the Reverse Week
At the beginning of April, director Wang Jing went on a radio program to reveal that Zhou Xingchi was not very cooperative when he made a guest appearance in "The King of a Thousand Kings 2000", and the 7-day scene was finished in 6 days, which was considered by the outside world to be a bombardment of Zhou Xingchi.

Immediately afterwards, in an exclusive interview with "Ming Pao Weekly", Cheng Lan, vice chairman of China Star, a famous film company in Xiangjiang, counted several major crimes of Zhou Xingchi, and broke the news that Wang Jing used 10 million to ask Zhou Xingchi to shoot a 10-day drama, but he only arrived at the scene at 3 o'clock every day, and his eyes were unfocused, and he couldn't hand in his homework. When the movie premiered, the producer had to kneel and beg Zhou Xingchi to come, and he left after 3 minutes. Cheng Lan also broke the news that Cecilia Cheung took over Zhou Xingchi's play and was asked to shave her head, otherwise she would have to pay 3.5 million.
After Cheng Lan spoke out, former Academy Awards chairman Wen Jun published an article titled "The End of the Zhou Xingchi Era", in which Chinese Jun said that the era of Zhou Xingchi, who ruled Chinese films for twenty years, is over, and the lonely and proud Zhou Xingchi may really face the lowest ebb of his acting career. Wen Jun, who spoke sharply, even believed that Zhou Xingchi, who had a lot of money today, was so poor that he only had money left! After this article was reprinted and republished by other media and websites, the title of the article became "Former Academy Award Chairman Wen Jun Bombarded Zhou Xingchi as Outdated," and the fuse of the reverse Zhou was completely ignited.
After that, a large number of Xiangjiang artists came out of the platform to criticize Zhou Xingchi. Luo Jiaying, who played Tang Seng in "Journey to the West", was interviewed and talked about Zhou Xingchi and said that this person takes money too seriously. also broke out that Zhou Xingchi was not kind back then, and he didn't pay for making more films. Luo Jiaying said that when Zhou Xingchi invited him to shoot "Journey to the West", he indicated that he was making a movie, but in the end, the film was cut out and divided into two parts, Luo Jiaying once asked the two dramas to be calculated according to the remuneration of the two plays, but in the end, Zhou Xingchi did not pay for it, and there was no reasonable explanation.
Li Xiuxian, who made his debut with Zhou Xingchi, said with half mockery, you have to be loyal, money is not everything, or friends are precious, sometimes you can find a friend to chat with a phone call!
To Qifeng even said directly, I don't think Zhou Xingchi has contributed to the Xiangjiang film industry, although he is very talented, but he will not make Xiangjiang people and film work progress because of his talent, I appreciate his talent, but I don't appreciate him as a person.
Just a few days later, Zhou Xingchi frequently made entertainment headlines. The former partners came out one by one to tell right and wrong, and Zhou Xingchi, who was in front of the stage for a while, became the finger of Qianfu. Zhou Xingchi, who has been writing the myth of star-making in his film career, seems to have suddenly become a hateful person who forgets his righteousness and betrays his righteousness.
Of course, there are also those who support Zhou Xingchi, and Mo Wenwei said that Zhou Xingchi is a genius director and actor, and we should protect him. Liu Zhenwei believes that everyone knows their own, but with our many years of communication, the Zhou Xingchi I know is of course Zhou Xingchi in his youth...... So depending on how you communicate, I don't know why others think he's not well-behaved.
Ning Hao also spoke out on Weibo, expressing support for Zhou Xingchi, many people have a little misunderstanding of Zhou Xingchi, everyone says that he is difficult to get along with, but in fact he is not, he is a very good person, but he is not very good at expressing his emotions.
After listening to Ning Hao's statement, Zhang Ran felt that this inverted week incident should be related to the unsatisfactory reputation of "Yangtze River No. 7", "Yangtze River No. 7" was released in January and the box office was quite good, but both the media and the audience, the evaluation was quite average, and many people felt that Zhou Xingchi had some Jiang Lang talent, and he may have passed the peak of creation. You turned out to be a god, and everyone could only hold you, but now that you can't do it, naturally the wall will fall down and everyone will push it!
Zhang Ran has a good relationship with Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi is a teacher at the Asian Film Academy, and he has a cooperative relationship with the Peak of the Century, "Yangtze River No. 7" is the main investment of the Peak of the Century, so no matter what aspect it is, Zhang Ran doesn't want Zhou Xingchi to be stinky by these people. He said to Ning Hao: "What's the use of just letting other people speak out, you should let Zhou Xingchi stand up and respond, otherwise people will think that you are acquiescing!"
Ning Hao said helplessly: "That's why I called you, I told Zhou Xingchi that you should stand up and respond to this matter, but he didn't listen, he said that there was nothing to respond to." He doesn't listen to what we say, only you can move him, so I want to trouble you to call him!"
Zhang Ran thought about it, he should be able to convince Zhou Xingchi, so he said, "I'll call him later!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran saw that everyone was looking at him, so he briefly talked about the matter.
Li Xuejian and Feng Yuanzheng are older actors, and they are relatively old-fashioned actors, and they have no interest in Zhou Xingchi's works, and they don't know much about Zhou Xingchi, so it is naturally inconvenient to comment.
Hu Jun has cooperated a lot with the Hong Kong circle, met Zhou Xingchi, and filmed Liu Zhenwei's "Cyborg" last year, but he has some understanding of Zhou Xingchi: "I heard Liu Zhenwei say that Zhou Xingchi works very hard, and he even thinks about movies when he sleeps and dreams." This is similar to Zhang Ran, they are all drama maniacs. However, Zhou Xingchi has a bad temper and often scolds people on the set. Once Liu Zhenwei cooperated with him, he made a request, that is, Zhou Xingchi was not allowed to scold. As a result, there was a scene where Zhou Xingchi was very dissatisfied, he just stood up and wanted to scold the actor, and when he saw Liu Zhenwei at once, he swallowed a mouthful, and then smiled and said to the actor, If killing people is not illegal, I really want to kill you!"
The crowd burst out laughing and thought the man was funny.
Zhang Ran couldn't help but laugh and said: "I often hear the media say that Zhou Xingchi is very interesting in movies, but life feels very boring, even a little boring, I think he is also quite fun in reality." However, he does have some problems with his personality, he is not very easy to get along with, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand him. ”
Hu Jun smiled: "You should be able to understand him, you are all people who regard movies more than anything else." ”
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Yes, I quite understand him and sympathize with him." Zhou Xingchi fell out with many people because he has very high requirements for movies and likes to scold people on the set, which these people can't accept. In fact, shouldn't the director have high requirements for the film? But this has become evidence of bad character, which is really sad!"
After eating the strings of incense and returning to the hotel, Zhang Ran turned on the computer and looked at it, it was almost exactly the same as the situation in the previous life, compared to the criticism of Zhou Xingchi by his peers, netizens were almost one-sidedly supportive.
"Xiangjiang is not a big place, but the entertainment industry is developed, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, a few people hold hands is a wall, and if you don't assimilate, you have to be eaten. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Hong Kong entertainment industry is grouped, and the rule of survival is either low-key forbearance, or left and right. There is also an exception, which is that you are strong enough to be able to fight the entire system. And this kind of outlier that is not under his control is naturally suppressed by Xiang Tai, and Zhou Xingchi is like this. ”
"As for the argument between Zhou Xingchi and Xiang Tai, I definitely support Xiang Tai! Originally, Zhou Xingchi was wrong, Zhou Xingchi was greedy for money and lustful, and he was a rotten person among rotten people, and I spurned him! And Brother Qiang and his wife were very kind, and they were good people among good people! Brother Qiang, I was done, can I take the gun away?"
"Master Xing is a genius! I always see people say that Zhou Xingchi is not good, but I have never seen Zhou Xingchi say that others are not good. ”
"Zhou Xingchi has always been the most awesome acting in my heart, starting a sect and being unparalleled in the world. There have been a lot of rumors recently, and I am here to take a stand, love the star, and push it all my life!"
"I have been seeing thousands of troops through the clouds and arrows, Xing Ye holds on, we will always support you!"
In a poll conducted on Weibo, nearly 500,000 netizens participated, and for the question "Do you like Zhou Xingchi", 74% "liked" and only 16% "disliked". In response to the question "If you think someone is trying to find out what Zhou Xingchi's motive is", 45% of people think it is "jealousy", 32% think it is "deliberate suppression", and the rest are "other" and "don't know".
Zhang Ran sighed in his heart, Zhou Xingchi's passers-by are too many fans, and in front of the surging public opinion, these so-called anti-Zhou factions are afraid that they will be defeated! He took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Xingchi's phone, and after hearing the sound of "hey" on the other end of the phone, he said with a smile: "Xingzai, what are you doing?"
Zhou Xingchi said slowly: "I'm thinking about my new play." ”
Zhang Ran said: "I want to ask you something, what is the matter with you and Xiang Tai Chen Lan? She seems to hate you very much!"
Zhou Xingchi thought for a while and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because of money." ”
Zhang Ran nodded, sure enough, it was because of money. In fact, many people's contradictions with Zhou Xingchi, in addition to the conflict of creative concepts, the other most important reason is money, Zhou Xingchi is probably because his family was not good when he was a child, and he was afraid of poverty, so he was a little careful about money, and he could even be said to be picky.
Back then, Xiang Huaqiang blocked Zhou Xingchi and shouted publicly, whoever dares to invest in Zhou Xingchi's movie is against me, Zhou Xingchi searched all over Hong Kong, no one invested, and finally Lin Xiaoming invested in "Shaolin Football", and when he delivered his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards, he satirized Xiang Huaqiang and stood out for Zhou Xingchi, but in the end, Zhou Xingchi turned against him because of money.
However, Century Summit and Zhou Xingchi collaborated on two films, "Crazy Travel" and "Yangtze River No. 7", and the cooperation between the two sides was relatively pleasant, and there was no disharmony.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I thought you peeked at other people's baths?"
Zhou Xingchi was startled, that was Xiang Huaqiang's wife, who dared to peek at her taking a bath? Do you want to be sunk into the sea? He shouted: "Hey, you can't talk nonsense, there will be trouble!"
Zhang Ran laughed and said: "Okay, let's get down to business, there are two things to find you, first, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" will start filming in June, and you will come to make a cameo when the time comes, don't forget; ”
Zhou Xingchi was silent for a moment and said, "I remember the cameo, just call me when the time comes." I don't have anything to respond to those who scold me, and I don't like to respond, I just do my part and make the movie silently. ”
Zhang Ran said: "If you don't respond, it will affect your income later!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xingchi immediately said, "Well, it won't be, right?"
Zhang Ran thought it was funny, this slamming star, money is really his dead end, and explained: "When a person says that Zhou Xingchi is too a failure, the audience will not believe it, but there are many people who can say it, will the audience be suspicious and think that this is a bad person? If you don't respond, will the audience think that you have acquiesced? When Zhou Xingchi's character is very bad, and Zhou Xingchi is a bad person, when the view becomes the mainstream, then there will not be many viewers who think when they are ready to watch a movie, why should I watch a bad movie? There will definitely be a lot of viewers who reject your film, and as a result, your income will be reduced. Therefore, those who should respond must respond, not hide!"
Zhou Xingchi didn't like to be interviewed, and he would feel nervous in the face of the interview, but considering the future benefits, he finally nodded: "Okay then!"
