The 25th day of the release of "Mekong". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Town hall.

The film celebration will be held here.

Although the City Hall is also rented out, and the price is only about 200,000 yuan a day, it can be held here, and it is also a symbol of coercion for the masses who do not know the truth.

And not all activities can be approved for rental, let alone the approval process, which can take months or even up to a year.

The event was semi-open, and the media was only available to the official media, but the content of the event was released to the public.

In addition, CCTV's six movie channels will also broadcast the event.

Scene.

Zhao Yiduo led the employees of Timeline to be busy before and after, from the venue layout to the reception of all the guests, they were almost so busy that they couldn't stop.

Li Zhifan's work is relatively easy, but he also has to meet with those leaders.

"Director Li, something is wrong!"

Suddenly, assistant Xiaosun hurriedly ran over, "Director Li......"

"Panic, what are you doing?"

Li Zhifan glanced at him, and then smiled at a division-level leader of the Central Propaganda Department who was chatting with him, "Liang, let you see it!"

"It's okay, you're busy!" Liang Chu smiled and turned his head to the side.

Li Zhifan looked at Xiao Sun again: "What's the matter?"

"Director Li!" Xiao Sun said in a trembling voice, "The chief is coming!"

Li Zhifan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who the chief in Xiao Sun's mouth was, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Are you sure?"

"Really, the guards have already come to set up the scene, and everyone outside is being checked!"

As soon as Xiao Sun's words fell, the backstage door was pushed open, and more than a dozen young people in ordinary clothes, good looks, and tall people came in.

Seeing them appear, Li Zhifan patted Xiao Sun's shoulder and said, "You go first!"

"I guess I can't leave!"

Xiao Sun smiled bitterly, everyone in the background now is estimated to have to be checked.

After these young people walked into the house and stood up, they crossed their hands and put them in front of them, and said in a very loud voice: "Everyone, because the chief is going to come to watch this event, so please cooperate with our work and accept our inspection, thank you!"

There was no objection, and everyone stood smiling and waiting for inspection.

But in fact, many people are trembling, not to mention the employees of the timeline, even some leaders are the same.

The young people brought in a lot of equipment, some of which scanned people's bodies and some of which scanned the entire house, and the safety work was the most extreme.

After Li Zhifan carried his belongings and finished checking, he was arranged to rest in a reception room in the background, and there were other people inside.

Because there were guards, everyone just muttered quietly.

As soon as Li Zhifan sat down, a leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs next to him leaned over and asked, "Did you hear the wind before?"

"No!" Li Zhifan said, "You don't know either?"

"I don't know, this came too suddenly!" the leader said, "but the City Hall should have known in advance, I heard that yesterday there was a night of inspection, at first I thought it was your people doing the inspection, but I didn't expect ......."

He heard this, and he also heard from the people around him after he just came in, and it is not sure whether there is such a thing.

"Then don't be a reminder, we're unprepared now!"

Li Zhifan took the draft and pen that he was going to speak on stage later, and began to delete and revise some paragraphs.

"Hey, this is all the highest level of secrecy action, how can it be easily revealed?" The leader sighed with a wry smile, "I didn't expect the chief to care so much about our literary and artistic work, from April this year to now, the chief has participated in more than ten various *****, calligraphy, writers, music and art, it is estimated that a movie-related symposium will be held soon." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhifan was thinking, will he not send an invitation to attend the meeting at that time?

If the chief of today's event does not come, he may be able to sit in the back row and listen to the report even if he participates, but in this situation, I am afraid that if he really participates, he will have to prepare a speech.

After waiting for twenty minutes, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face came in outside, and said after closing the door: "Everyone, this event will be postponed for an hour, please be patient, all the cases in the background are completed, and everyone can move freely." ”

As he spoke, he swept around the people in the room, looked at Li Zhifan, and then said, "Mr. Li, please come with me." ”

"Good!"

Li Zhifan put away the speech, stood up and walked up, and went out with the national face.

There were two young people standing outside, who came up directly and searched Li Zhifan.

Li Zhifan only brought a mobile phone today, and it was scanned and opened by these two young people, but fortunately, the old mobile phone was not taken in the safe at home, which is really lucky.

After the inspection was completed, the national character face was full of smiles, and he said to Li Zhifan: "Sorry, Mr. Li! Thank you for your cooperation, please understand our work." ”

"It's okay, it should be!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "I will fully cooperate with any work you have." ”

"That's right!"

Guozi face said, "The chief wants to meet with you later, just chat a few words in the background, you have a preparation." In addition, the speech on stage was also changed and a paragraph was added. ”

As he spoke, he handed over a note with a short paragraph of very official and patriotic words.

"I understand!" Li Zhifan only glanced at it and put it away.

"You are the only host in the country with a perfect score in the written exam, I believe in your ability!"

Guozi nodded with a smile on his face, "Okay, let's go and prepare!"

After entering the room, Li Zhifan took a deep breath, relieved the tension just now, returned to his seat and took out the note, and began to memorize.

……

(For well-known reasons, plot descriptions are omitted here!)

Half an hour after the event ended, all the defenses were lifted, and everyone was allowed to leave.

Li Zhifan was the first to leave, and on the car back, thinking about everything today, it was like a dream.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, I even felt a little suddenly, is this all true?

In the afternoon of the same day, the news came out on the Internet.

They are all positive reports from the mouthpiece of the state, and the process and content of the activities are also very well documented.

Even the official blog of Ziguang Pavilion released a video, with Li Zhifan shaking hands with the chief and a brief conversation.

Looking at Li Zhifan's respectful and walking on thin ice, netizens left messages one after another:

"Haha, Director Li is like a little brother. ”

"But isn't it, look at the people next to you, which one is not the attitude of the younger brother?"

"Oh, Director Li is about to send it, this hand is worth a lot. ”

"Yes, it is estimated that in the entertainment industry in the future, no one will have Director Li to speak. ”

"Suddenly thought of Zhao Tai, he must regret dying, right?"

"Zhao Tai? haha, he guesses that he wants to die now. ”

"If you touch such a nail, I'm afraid it will be difficult to mix in the circle in the future!"

……

In an upscale community, in an apartment.

Zhao Tai looked at the news on the Internet, and his heart was empty.

It's loneliness, it's sadness, I want to cry and I want to laugh.

"Saw the news?"

The agent Meng Dachang walked into the study, looked at Zhao Tai in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and spoke lightly.

"Hmm!" Zhao Tai opened his mouth, "Don't you have any job offers yet?"

"Not yet!"

Meng Dachang said, "A lot of jobs have been signed before...... The other party sent a letter saying that they wanted to stop. ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Tai had already lost his previous fangs and claws, and he didn't even sigh, and opened his mouth weakly, "Forget it! ”

"Atai!" Meng Dachang shouted, a little embarrassed, "I'm going to go to Taiwan, there is a talent singer who has just debuted over there, ask me to be his agent, now here in the mainland, I don't want to mix, wait for two or three years, and then talk about it after the rumors have passed!"

In the entertainment industry, celebrities are just appearances, and these behind-the-scenes are the core.

Outsiders may just see the frustration of a star, but in the circle, with the star's outrage or banning, his behind-the-scenes brokerage team will also be damaged, especially such an important role as an agent.

"Go ahead!"

Zhao Tai's chest was tight, and he clenched his fist and knocked on his chest, before he pretended to be calm and said, "Let's terminate our contract temporarily! ”

Meng Dachang looked at Zhao Tai and felt pity for him.

The compensation on the side of the brokerage team is easy to say, they don't want it, but the compensation of those manufacturers can't be bypassed, after all, it is he who damaged his personal image first, even if these manufacturers don't extort money and reduce the compensation, it adds up a lot.

"So what are you going to do in the future?"

Meng Dachang asked.

"Get a reliable lawyer to sell my property and car!

Zhao Tai lowered his head and rubbed his face with both hands, "There is no need to make any announcements about temporarily withdrawing from the entertainment industry, let me disappear quietly, and I can save a little face." ”

"Hmm!"

Meng Dachang nodded, was silent for a while, and then said, "By the way, Kuaibo has banned a bunch of entertainment bloggers today, including your personal Kuaibo...... It's also blocked!"

"I know!"

Zhao Tai has been surfing the Internet, and he already knows about it, but he doesn't ask anyone.

Because, he didn't want to ask the reason anymore.

……

Timeline.

"So many entertainment bloggers have been banned?"

In the office, Zhao Yiduo looked at the official list of accounts given by Kuaibo on the computer in surprise, and clicked on the entertainment bloggers he had followed one by one.

"I'm afraid something is going to happen lately!"

Li Zhifan said, "But I don't know if it's a storm or a ......."

"What's going on, a lot of entertainment bloggers who do movie commentary have also been blocked, why?"

Zhao Yiduo scratched his head, not knowing why, "These bloggers also violated the law?"

"Maybe it's a copyright issue!"

Li Zhifan thought for a while and said, "After all, commentary is not the same as film review, these people can finish all the movies of more than 100 minutes in a few minutes of video, resulting in many people now going to watch the commentary, not watching the movie, some people can't eat, and they must attack them." ”

Is this really the case?

The ghost only knows that this is just Li Zhifan's personal speculation.

……

Entering August.

In the month since the release of "Operation Mekong", the box office has exceeded 2 billion, and even because of the City Hall incident, the film schedule, box office and attendance rate have risen instead of falling.

Whether it is word-of-mouth, box office or attention, it has broken the records of political films, political and religious films, and even police and gangster films, and was also sent to the upcoming Golden Peacock Film Festival in mid-August.

The Golden Peacock Film Festival is held every year, and the selection ranges from June 1 of the previous year to the end of May of the following year, so "Operation Mekong", which was released on July 1, was not eligible to participate in this year's event.

But for various reasons, "Operation Mekong" was exceptionally submitted for review, and it is very likely to be nominated in some categories, after all, Golden Peacock was originally an award initiated by a non-governmental filmmaker organization, and it was only because of the boom in the film market in recent years that it received a lot of sponsorship, and it was willing to spend money on live and invite stars, so it has today's results.

"I won't go to the scene for this award!"

In the office, Li Zhifan said to Zhao Yiduo and Zhang Da'an, "Just the two of you!"

"Good!" Zhang Da'an said, "Although this award is famous, it is not an important award, especially internationally, and our purpose is to impact a few high-value awards in March next year." ”

"What's more, even if we are nominated, we may not win the award!"

Zhao Yiduo said, "After all, the award-winning movies have already been arranged, and we are now inserting a bar, even if we win the award, it will be some small awards, and some movies that are not famous will be squeezed out, and it may even be tied for awards." ”

"Look at this!"

Li Zhifan said, "I will go to the United States tomorrow, and I will not come back until the end of September, and I will contact you by phone or ** for all work, come on!"

……

Early the next morning.

Li Zhifan took a plane to the United States again.

Since Cherry was born, he will think about this little north nose for the first time in everything he does.

Perhaps this is the growth and change after becoming a father.

"Zhifan!"

At the boarding gate, Zhao Yiduo came to see him off, but it was mysterious along the way.

It was only at this time that he took out a gift box out of nowhere and handed it to Li Zhifan, saying, "This is my gift to my niece, and when she comes back, I will prepare to give her a bigger one." ”

"I won't go to the scene for this award!"

In the office, Li Zhifan said to Zhao Yiduo and Zhang Da'an, "Just the two of you!"

"Good!" Zhang Da'an said, "Although this award is famous, it is not an important award, especially internationally, and our purpose is to impact a few high-value awards in March next year." ”

"What's more, even if we are nominated, we may not win the award!"

Zhao Yiduo said, "After all, the award-winning movies have already been arranged, and we are now inserting a bar, even if we win the award, it will be some small awards, and some movies that are not famous will be squeezed out, and it may even be tied for awards." ”

"Look at this!"

Li Zhifan said, "I will go to the United States tomorrow, and I will not come back until the end of September, and I will contact you by phone or ** for all work, come on!"

……

Early the next morning.

Li Zhifan took a plane to the United States again.
