Chapter 116: Riots at the premiere
Chen Yuan actually appeared at the premiere of "Super Big Diamond"? This made Dong Ruifeng very surprised and shocked.
The two haven't seen each other for more than half a year, but they're paying attention to each other's news. Dong Ruifeng admired and feared Chen Yuan, a young man. Chen Yuan's novel "The Sealed Demon" and the movie "Nightclub" have achieved amazing results. This is where Dong Ruifeng admires the other party.
Dong Ruifeng has carefully studied the whole process of signing the publishing contract of "The Demon", and has also read the report of a certain expert and scholar on the 18 points of the success of "Nightclub". From these two things, it can be seen that Chen Yuan is a calculating and long-term person. Even if Chen Yuan is not, then there must be such a person standing behind him. Dong Ruifeng prefers the latter.
"Super Big Diamond" was born from "Crazy Stone", and after several deletions, it no longer constitutes plagiarism in law. But in this matter, it is obvious that Chen Yuan was deceived. Dong Ruifeng felt that it was impossible for the other party to give up and compromise so easily. Seeing Chen Yuan appear at the premiere at this moment, he immediately became alert, and subconsciously thought that the other party was going to make a move!
So he was frightened and frightened in his heart, and subconsciously took two small steps back.
Chen Yuan saw Dong Ruifeng's weakness and fear. He smiled faintly and took a small step forward.
Dong Ruifeng reacted instantly, he couldn't retreat at this time! He stiffened his neck and said with an unnatural face: "We don't seem to have invited you, what are you doing here?" ”
"Director Dong's "Super Big Diamond" has a deep relationship with our Qingyun Entertainment's "Crazy Stone". Now that your drama has been released, I naturally want to come and see it, compare it. Chen Yuan said lightly.
Compare and compare? Where couldn't Dong Ruifeng hear the meaning of the other party's words? He laughed and said: "Originally, our drama was going to be released behind you, but I don't know why, but now it's in front of you again." ”
"Who made me offend the big guys!" Chen Yuan smiled mockingly, and said, "However, I heard that Director Dong climbed to the top of the branch, not only adjusted the release date of the movie, but also had a considerable advantage in the scheduling of theaters in the same period. Seemingly. Director Dong's "Super Big Diamond" is about to soar to the sky! ”
"Where, where," Dong Ruifeng shook his head and smiled, his expression was much more natural. He said: "Our drama does not have as much appeal as "Nightclub", and audiences across the country are estimated to have been recruited into the cinema by you." This summer, you Qingyun Entertainment has been out of the limelight. Now the industry is looking up to you! ”
Director Dong laughed. The success of "Nightclub" was very accidental, and I didn't expect it before. If you really want to talk about the quality of the film, it can't be compared with Director Dong's play. I wish Director Dong a box office break 100 million in advance here, and gain both fame and fortune! Chen Yuan smiled faintly and sent his blessings.
Dong Ruifeng heard a taste of irony from it. He was about to say something sarcastic. But at this moment, Zhang Yuan, who got the news, came over.
When Chen Yuan saw Zhang Yuan, his brows furrowed unconsciously. He didn't have a crush on the fat man.
When he first arrived in Kyoto a year ago, Li Bing took him to visit the great director. The big director obviously took a fancy to the script, but said that the script had no possibility of shooting, and only gave a "high price" of 30,000 yuan for reference and reference. But now "Super Big Diamond", which was born from "Crazy Stone", is about to be released, and the director's signature is Dong Ruifeng and this Zhang Fat! Chen Yuan didn't understand, how did Zhang Fatzi come to the conclusion that "there is no possibility of shooting" at that time?
Seeing Chen Yuan again, Zhang Yuan was also a little embarrassed. But his performance was much better than Dong Ruifeng's, at least there was no fear or retreat.
"Who did I say, it turned out to be hundreds of millions of screenwriters!" Zhang Yuan smiled and greeted warmly, "Hurry up and invite inside, we have invited a lot of media reporters, and I hope you can come on stage to say a few words later!" ”
Chen Yuan waved his hand and excused himself: "The protagonist tonight is you, so I won't get involved." You guys are busy, you don't have to call me. ”
After speaking. He smiled at the two of them and walked to the screening room.
Dong Ruifeng came up to Zhang Yuan and scolded him in a low voice: "Senior brother, how can you invite him to give a speech on stage?" When the time comes, it will be publicized. Haven't we become a joke in the circle? ”
Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes, smiled, and explained: "This is called the first strike." I'm also afraid that this stinky boy will talk nonsense later, so I'll test it first. It seems that we are overthinking. He came here today to see how much of the content of our play is plagiarized from his script, and whether it is enough to constitute a legal fact of plagiarism. ”
Dong Ruifeng was stunned. But he was still a little worried, "Do you think this stinky boy will have other means?" ”
Zhang Yuan pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head, and said: "The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth, let's guess like this is too laborious, let's wait to see the move!" ”
Chen Yuan walked into the screening hall, which was brightly lit, and media reporters, invited guests, and main creators, who were familiar with each other or not, gathered in groups and chatted hotly. Chen Yuan saw many familiar faces, such as the young Uncle Benshan, Fan Wei, Zhou Xun, Yao Chen, as well as media reporters Zhou Jun, Shen Hong and others.
Fan Bing hid in the crowd and gave Chen Yuan a look. Chen Yuan smiled faintly and responded to the other party.
After Chen Yuan appeared, everyone who knew him ran over. Everyone was extremely surprised and surprised by his appearance. Zhou Jun, Shen Hong, and other media reporters gathered in front of Chen Yuan, constantly asking questions. Among them, the most mentioned is why Chen Yuan participated in the premiere of this movie, and the other is Chen Yuan's new identity as a "billionaire screenwriter".
As we all know, the status of domestic TV and movie screenwriters has always been very low. The director arbitrarily changes the script, and even the actors can change the plot, sometimes without even the right of authorship. Except for a few top screenwriters, most screenwriters' incomes are basically miserable.
Unlike in China, American screenwriters have a high status, and the annual income of first-line screenwriters far exceeds that of most first-line film actors, and actors offend screenwriters and end up miserable. Korean screenwriters can choose directors and actors, from the protagonist to the small supporting role, and even the location, the screenwriter can have the final say. The director cannot modify the screenwriter's script without authorization, and it is a great disrespect to the screenwriter for the actor to modify the lines. The highest paid screenwriter in South Korea will even give the screenwriter a blank check and let him fill in the numbers himself.
The box office of "Nightclub" exceeded 100 million, and Chen Yuan was named a "billionaire screenwriter". It seems that he suddenly became the first person in the screenwriting industry. In fact, the screenwriting industry has almost never been noticed.
Feeling this, Chen Yuan said to media reporters: "As we all know, the script is the soul of the movie. It's impossible to make a good movie without a good script. The script has such a place in the film. But the status of screenwriters is ranked at the bottom, which is very unreasonable. I hope that major media will pay attention to the screenwriting industry in the future......"
Chen Yuan talked a lot about the screenwriting industry with media reporters, but he didn't mention why he participated in the movie premiere.
It was 10 o'clock in the morning. The premiere of "Super Big Diamond" officially began.
Dong Ruifeng, Zhang Yuan and other main creators stood on the rostrum and were interviewed by media reporters.
Everything went smoothly, and the media reporters asked questions in an orderly manner according to the questions provided by the crew before.
Just then, a young female reporter stood up. She said: "Hello Director Dong, I am Zhou Xiaotong, a reporter from Kyoto Radio. As far as I know, Fan Bing was originally included in the cast list of "Super Big Diamond", but later Fan Bing quit the crew and was replaced by Yao Chen. Regarding Fan Bing's withdrawal from the crew, there is still no conclusion, Director Dong, can you explain? ”
Dong Ruifeng smiled slightly, and his eyes quickly locked on Fan Bing, who was sitting next to Zhou Xiaotong. Fan Bing saw Dong Ruifeng looking at his side and made an innocent expression, which was telling the other party that it had nothing to do with her at this time. But Dong Ruifeng didn't think so. He already knew that this Fan Bing was a difficult master, and she came to this premiere to definitely find trouble!
After pondering for a moment, Dong Ruifeng said, "Miss Fan Bing is at the scene. I can tell everyone in front of her that it was Miss Fan Bing who took the initiative to quit the crew! Director Zhang, Uncle Benshan, Fan Wei, and the rest of the crew can all testify to this matter! ”
Zhou Xiaotong turned his head and asked Fan Bing next to him, "Miss Fan Bing, is this incident true?" ”
Fan Bing looked around, smiled and said, "That's right, I did take the initiative at that time. The reason is that after the crew was attacked, except for me, none of the other crew members were injured! ”
"Could this be a coincidence?" Zhou Xiaotong asked.
"How is that possible?" Fan Bing smiled and said, "I'm more inclined to think that this is a conspiracy deliberately aimed at me. ”
On the rostrum. Dong Ruifeng suppressed the anger in his heart and said loudly: "Miss Fan Bing, please don't insinuate and spew blood here. Now that the police have confirmed that there is someone else behind the violent attack, why do you think that I am targeting you? If you're here to see the movie, then I welcome you on behalf of the crew. But if you're here to make trouble. Then I'll have to ask for security......"
"Director Dong, why are you so angry?" Fan Bing said loudly, "I didn't name you either!" It's such a coincidence, why did so many people choose me? Is it wrong for me to say that someone is deliberately targeting me? ”
The host hurriedly came out to play the round, she said: "This is the premiere of "Super Big Diamond", I hope everyone can keep the order and not disturb the venue." I would like to invite the next reporter to ask a question. ”
"Director Dong," Zhou Xiaotong directly ignored the host's words and continued to ask, "What was the situation at that time, can you tell us in detail?" Could there be any misunderstanding behind this matter? ”
Dong Ruifeng opened his mouth and was about to explain. Zhang Yuan next to him coughed lightly and gave him a hint. Dong Ruifeng came to his senses, now is not the time to argue. If the premiere goes off-topic, it will definitely be laughed at by the media. This was by no means what he wanted.
At this time, the clever host smiled and said, "Reporter Zhou, I believe I don't need to repeat it again." If you have any questions, you can ask Director Dong privately after the premiere. Now let's move on to ......"
How could Zhou Xiaotong let go of this opportunity in front of him? She continued to ask: "Director Dong avoided talking about it because he was ashamed, or was he ......" She was about to continue, but found that two big men were walking towards her. The two of them looked grim and made a gesture of invitation at the same time. Zhou Xiaotong smiled awkwardly and sat down. The two security guards didn't insist anymore and returned to their posts.
Zhou Xiaotong let out a long sigh of relief. She wanted to dig up a big news at this premiere, but she didn't expect the parties to be unwilling to cooperate. There was some disappointment in her heart, but then the disappointment vanished. Fan Bing was sitting next to her, she still had a chance!
Perhaps sensing Zhou Xiaotong's thoughts, Fan Bing actually showed a big smile to the other party at this time.
Zhou Xiaotong smiled and conveyed his kindness to Fan Bing.
At this moment, another media reporter stood up and said, "Hello Director Dong, I am Zong Shaojie, a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News. I feel very sorry for Fan Bing's withdrawal from the crew. If I hadn't happened to meet her and did an exclusive interview, she might not have quit the crew......"
Zhou Xiaotong turned his head to look at the reporter Zong Shaojie behind him, the boss with a small mouth. She never imagined that behind her, there would be reporters who would be brave enough to continue the topic just now. Zong Shaojie? Zong Shaojie is not the writer of those two news events! Zhou Xiaotong came to her senses, she turned her head to look at Fan Bing, and Fan Bing gave her another smile.
Zong Shaojie was still there talking to himself, but Dong Ruifeng was already angry. Zong Shaojie, it's impossible for him not to remember this name! If it weren't for him, things wouldn't have gotten like this! Now this Zong Shaojie and Fan Bing actually appeared together, they must have planned it before.
Thinking of this, Dong Ruifeng couldn't hold back any longer, he roared: "Zong Shaojie, what do you mean by the hell?" Trying to go against me, aren't you? Believe it or not, I found someone to clean you up! ”
Dong Ruifeng suddenly burst out, which surprised everyone.
Zong Shaojie was stunned, and after relieving himself, he patiently explained: "Director Dong, I think you have misunderstood. The last two incidents had a very bad impact on the crew. I felt very ashamed and guilty. So I wanted to apologize to you and your crew. Today's premiere of "Super Big Diamond" happened to be an opportunity, and I took this opportunity to ......"
"you! Zong Shaojie, do you think I'm a fool? Dong Ruifeng jumped out, he pointed at the other party, and jumped like thunder, "Get out of here for me immediately, how far and how far you go, Lao Tzu doesn't welcome you!" ”
"Director Dong, this may be a misunderstanding," Zong Shaojie was about to explain, but found that a security guard had already come over.
Zong Shaojie didn't want to cause trouble, he said to the two security guards: "I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself, you don't have to send each other off!" ”
He left the screening room, and Dong Ruifeng stood in place and gritted his teeth. He felt that he might have been calculated by Fan Bing. This incident will definitely be reported tomorrow, and then the whole circle will see his jokes. He regretted it a little now, why was he so impulsive just now?
He didn't dare to look at Zhang Yuan's expression now, he knew that this senior brother must have been very dissatisfied with his performance.
At this time, the host came over and asked Dong Ruifeng in a low voice, "Director Dong, is the reporter's question session still continuing?" ”
Dong Ruifeng took a breath and looked at his watch, it was still early. He nodded, motioning for the moderator to continue.
Another reporter stood up, he changed the subject of the question, and asked Zhou Xun: "Hello Zhou Xun, I am Liu Zhiwen, a reporter from Apple Daily. Because "Super Big Diamond" was relatively low-key in the early stage of filming, it did not attract attention. So people don't know what was going on. Fan Bing said that she was deliberately targeted for this matter, what do you think? ”
Zhou Xun was stunned, she really didn't know whether she should answer this question or not. (To be continued.) )
