Chapter 726: Influence

On the morning of the next day, Zhou Xingchi accepted an exclusive interview with Sina and conducted an exclusive interview on the "inverted week incident". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reporter asked Zhou Xingchi if he felt uncomfortable with all kinds of criticism in recent days. Zhou Xingchi said that he had read all the reports and had no feelings. People said that he was not, and he only spoke a word, and he didn't take it to heart. Because he is preparing for a new film, he is no longer busy, how can he still be in the mood to worry about these things. Regarding what the people who fell into Zhou, Zhou Xingchi said that most of them are fake, and there are some people in the Xiangjiang film industry who lack good works, and only like to focus on criticizing others and using them to elevate themselves. In fact, I think everyone should seek truth from facts, do their own things, and put their spirit on film work. Wouldn't that be better?

Zhang Ran thought that after Zhou Xingchi came out to respond, the turmoil would pass, but he didn't expect that the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind would not stop. After Zhou Xingchi came out to respond, Xiang Huaqiang's wife Cheng Lan, the head of the Chinese star, jumped out again to bombard Zhou Xingchi, she listed Zhou Xingchi's five major crimes in an interview with Hong Kong media, and declared, I am not afraid to turn against him, I want to expose his true face.

Xiang Taichenglan and her husband Xiang Huaqiang used to be the most powerful figures in the Xiangjiang film industry, and the movies made by Chinese stars have become popular in Xiangjiang, and Lau Dehua, Chow Yun-fat, Chow Xingchi, Cecilia Cheung and others were once their favorite generals. Although in recent years, due to the collapse of Xiangjiang films, there have been few new films released by Chinese stars, but their dominance in the entertainment industry does not seem to have been affected much.

Cheng Lan bombarded Zhou Xingchi for the first time, and many people thought that she was dissatisfied with Zhou Xingchi, so she scolded a few words casually. But now Cheng Lan fired again, making everyone realize that Xiang Jia really wanted to completely stink Zhou Xingchi this time, so more stars were involved and forced to make their positions clear.

Zhang Jiahui once cooperated with Zhou Xingchi in the movie "The King of a Thousand Kings", he said in an interview with the media: "Zhou Xingchi is a very talented actor, and his character is not clear to me, in fact, we rarely communicate, I think friends should understand deeply, I am not familiar with him." ”

Ren Dahua said in an interview: "I don't know Mr. Zhou well and have never worked together, so it's inconvenient to comment too much, but what I can say is that Xiang Tai is a very righteous person." I often say that friends are the most important, and people with many friends are definitely not bad people, so Xiang Tai is definitely a good person. ”

When Liu Qingyun was asked how he watched the dispute between Zhou Xingchi and Xiang Huaqiang's wife Cheng Lan, he pointed out that he had co-produced TV with Zhou Xingchi many years ago, but he did not cooperate in filming, so he did not know him well. But when it comes to Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, he speaks strongly: "Xiang Sheng is a good boss, very polite to everyone, and they have been very good to me and my wife for many years in Chinastar." ”

Maybe Cheng Lan felt that the influence of these actors was not big enough, and began to pull Liu Dehua into the water again, claiming: "Liu Dehua personally told me that he and Zhou Xingchi are not friends, and they will not be, before, now, and in the future." And Mr. Zhou also did not respect Liu Dehua, when Zhou's own salary reached 20 million, he wanted to ask Liu Dehua to film but gave 1.2 million to others. ”

Zhou Xingchi not only has many fans, but also is very tough, they saw Chen Lan and their unrelenting, so they scolded again, and even scolded these stars who came out to stand in line.

"In the future, you Hong Kong stars, directors, and actors of the Black Week, don't want to make money on the mainland! You bastards, Xiang Hua used the underworld to force you, or are you directly afraid of his underworld? What about public figures, phew!"

"I don't like Liu Qingyun, and I never watch his plays. These tough guys on the screen are actually puppets of Xiang. There is no one in the Xiangjiang interpretation circle who is not afraid of Xiang Huaqiang, only Xing Ye is an exception. ”

"I look at the language of these celebrities who speak and express themselves are quite fat pigs, I used to like these stars very much, because some of them are really powerful in acting, but now I don't like it, it's true or false, especially that Liu Whathua, I really can't stand you like this, top star master, love star master, support star master. ”

Zhang Ran was a little dissatisfied with Cheng Lan's actions, and felt that the Xiang family was really a bit too much this time, you and Zhou Xingchi are not a life-and-death feud, why do you want to kill them all? This is obviously trying to kill Zhou Xingchi's rhythm!

However, Zhang Ran felt that this matter was a little strange, the conflict between Zhou Xingchi and the Xiang family was probably not just an economic dispute, there should be some other reason here, but it was not good to ask Zhou Xingchi about this matter, so he dialed Zou Wenhuai's phone. Zou Wenhuai is a living fossil of Xiangjiang films, and his influence is very great, and he will definitely not be able to hide anything from his eyes if there is anything going on in the Xiangjiang film industry.

After hearing Zhang Ran's question, Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Actually, it's a matter of money, but this money is not tens of millions, but tens of billions!"

Zhang Ran couldn't believe his ears: "How is it possible? At that time, the total box office of Xiangjiang movies was only a few hundred million a year, how could it involve tens of billions of funds?"

Zou Wenhuai explained slowly: "Xiang Huaqiang's company is China Star Group, which has two subsidiaries, Yongsheng Entertainment and Yongsheng Audio. In the 90s, Yongsheng Entertainment and our Golden Harvest can be said to be the two heroes of Xiangjiang Films, Zhou Xingchi's early movies were basically produced by Yongsheng, including "Truant Weilong", "Jiupin Sesame Official", "Deer and Ding Ji" and other blockbuster movies, until 96 Zhou Xingchi formed Xinghui by himself, Xiang Huaqiang was the most closely cooperated boss of Zhou Xingchi!

China Star Group became a listed company in 1992, because of the production of a series of blockbuster movies, the stock price skyrocketed, and even once broke through 200 Hong Kong dollars, at that time China Star was unlimited, with a market value of more than 10 billion. However, due to the gradual collapse of the Xiangjiang Film Market and Zhou Xingchi's self-reliance, the stock price of China Star has also plummeted, and now a share is only worth more than 1 cent. The company's market value exceeded 10 billion at its peak, and now it is only worth more than 10 million, isn't the difference tens of billions?"

Zhang Ran understood a little: "Xiang Huaqiang, they feel that if Zhou Xingchi doesn't set up another portal, maybe China Star won't become what it is today, they feel that everything now is caused by Zhou Xingchi, so they hate Zhou Xingchi just like Run Run Shaw hates you!"

A large reason for the decline of Shaw's Shaw Brothers is because Zou Wenhuai set up another stove and established Golden Harvest Pictures. So Run Run Shaw hated Zou Wenhuai so much that more than 20 years later, he joined forces with five other companies to snatch the studio of Golden Harvest, completely breaking the foundation of Golden Harvest.

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "That's right, the Xiang family's hatred for Zhou Xingchi is probably deeper than Shaw's hatred for me, although the Shaw family has declined, Run Run Shaw is still an entertainment tycoon worth tens of billions, and the Chinese star has declined, and the Xiang family's industry has shrunk sharply." The reason why Cheng Lan made such a big fuss this time and did not give up is because Zhou Xingchi has recently secretly acquired the shares of the listed company Ditong International, preparing for a backdoor listing. You think they originally thought that the transformation of China Star into a garbage stock was caused by Zhou Xingchi, and they hated Zhou Xingchi so much, but now their enemy's company is about to become listed, and the stock price may be much higher than China Star, how can they swallow this breath!"

Zhang Ran completely understood: "I said why they didn't give up, so that's the case." ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran logged in to his account and posted a Weibo: "There have been a lot of people scolding Zhou Xingchi recently, after reading these reasons for scolding Zhou Xingchi, I probably know how Xiangjiang Movie died." For example, some people say that he forced Cecilia Cheung to shave her head, but I don't know what's wrong with that? Isn't it right to play a nun with a shaved head? A director has strict requirements for his work and high requirements for his performance, but it has become a mistake, and he has been said to have a bad character, and I don't know what to say about it. When serious filming becomes a mistake, shoddy production creates advantages, and Xiangjiang movies are not dead, there are ghosts! I think it is necessary to stand up to Zhou Xingchi, there are not too many people like him in China, but too few!"

After Zhang Ran's Weibo was issued, it not only attracted netizens to shout "That's too right", but also attracted the support of half of the stars in the entertainment industry, Huang Shengyi, Jia Nailiang, Hu Ge and many other stars have reposted comments to express their support for Zhou Xingchi.

Feng Xiaogang also spoke for Zhou Xingchi on Weibo, he wrote: "Zhou Xingchi has worked with me, and he is really not good at words, and he is also a more serious and calculating person." This kind of seriousness and calculation, in an environment like Hong Kong, and his background, will cause resentment. But it is precisely because of his calculation and seriousness that he was able to shoot "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu"!"

Hu Jun said on Weibo: "I liked Zhou Xingchi very early, long before "Journey to the West", long before "The King of Comedy", and even before he was regarded as a master of postmodernism. admire his abundance, admire his gimmick of laughing at all beings, and enjoy his unbridled imagination. ”

Even Lu Chuan's father, Lu Tianming, was involved: "As a writer and artist, you should write and create for the people, and I especially appreciate Zhou Xingchi." He is also funny and nonsensical, but if you look carefully at each of Zhou Xingchi's movies, there is a certain meaning in them, which is crying out for the bitter survival of the little people at the bottom, so that the film is great, because it entertains the audience while conveying a positive meaning, which is very worthy of our learning. ”

This sudden change made netizens look stupid!

At the beginning of the turmoil in Zhou, there were very few celebrities who came out to stand for Zhou Xingchi, and basically they all worked with him, but I didn't expect that as soon as Zhang Ran's Weibo was posted, half of the people in the entertainment industry stood up.

Zhang Ran's influence is too terrifying!

Then, something even more incredible happened.

Wen Jun, the former chairman of the Academy Awards and the author of "The End of the Zhou Xingchi Era", quickly published an article on his blog, in which he stated: "I have no intention of bombarding Zhou Xingchi, his article is just a rational discussion of why Zhou Xingchi's era is over as an important filmmaker, there is no bombardment tone, and the end of an era does not mean that this person is outdated, it is a completely different concept." ”

Wen Jun also said: "My original words are that if he doesn't have works to come out again, then Zhou Xingchi's era will be over." What's so strange about this? Xu Guanwen's era is over, and Chow Yun-fat's era is also over, and the key is that he has lived up to the era that belongs to him. There are many actors and directors who have never even had their own era! The end of the era is not a big deal. ”

Luo Jiaying posted on his blog: "I just ridiculed Zhou Xingchi a few words when I was on the show, but I didn't expect the report to become a bombardment of Zhou Xingchi, this is really ridiculous, the so-called bombardment of Zhou Xingchi is definitely not my intention, let alone my style of life." I hope I don't hype it up anymore!"

Even Liu Dehua, a good old man in the entertainment industry, also stood up and clarified, "I didn't say in person that Zhou Xingchi was not my friend, I just said in person that Mr. Xiang is now, before, and will be my friend, and he is also my good boss, maybe Xiang is too misunderstood." I didn't have a discord with Zhou Xingchi because of the salary, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I hope to cooperate again. My relationship with him is like that of a partner in a movie, and I can say that he is a fan of the present, before, and in the future. ”

The speed with which things changed was simply unbelievable, and the whole public opinion was suddenly reversed.
