Chapter 118 The company's plans for the second half of the year
Chen Yuan held a press conference to announce the official prosecution of Tenglong Pictures, and the news soon reached the ears of Dong Ruifeng and Zhang Yuan.
At first, when he heard the news, Dong Ruifeng didn't believe it. He remembered that when the other party left last night, he didn't show any intention of suing them at all, why did he suddenly ......
"He had planned it a long time ago, otherwise it would have been impossible to act so quickly!" Zhang Yuan quickly figured it out, and he said, "We can't sit still. Hold a press conference to clarify the matter with the media! ”
"Clarification? How to clarify? Dong Ruifeng said with a gray face and a dejected face.
"How can you be like this?!" Zhang Yuan was furious and scolded, "Dong Ruifeng, if it wasn't for your strong request, I wouldn't have participated in this movie at all!" Now that people are suing, you are a bad seed? Show your courage, like a gentleman, and know that we are not without the strength to fight! ”
Dong Ruifeng smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, you know that kid's ability. Whether it is signing the publishing contract of that novel, or the behavior and actions before and after the release of "Nightclub", it can be seen that he is a person who plans and then acts! Why didn't he sue us before? That's because the time hasn't come. Now the time has come, and he has finally made a move! ”
"Are you scared?" Zhang Yuan asked coldly.
"I'm really scared," Dong Ruifeng lowered his head and admitted honestly.
"What if you're scared?" Zhang Yuan said coldly, "You're afraid that he won't sue you?" Are you afraid that he will let you go? Can you solve the problem if you are afraid? Can you be safe and sound if you're scared? No way! Dong Ruifeng, you are sober and sober! There is only one path in front of us, and that is to fight! Only in this way may there be a glimmer of life......"
"Can we win?" Dong Ruifeng raised his head, his eyes full of expectation.
Zhang Yuan said seriously: "We can win!" "Super Big Diamond" has been revised so many times, and it is very different from the original script. Legally speaking, it can no longer constitute plagiarism! Why can't we win, you say? ”
Dong Ruifeng was gradually boosted by his fighting spirit, he nodded, and said, "Senior brother, you are right. We will now hold a press conference. Reprimand that kid for his slanderous behavior! ”
On August 26, the first day of the release of "Super Big Diamond". At 10:30 a.m., the attendance of this movie was surprisingly high, almost to the point of being full. Movie theaters are overcrowded. Some viewers firmly chose the shocking movie "Life and Death Choice", but more viewers bought tickets for "Super Big Diamond".
That's a good sign!
If it is in normal times. Maybe Dong Ruifeng, Zhang Yuan and others will celebrate. But now they don't have that in mind. At the press conference in the afternoon, the two were not well prepared, and they were very embarrassed in the face of questions from media reporters. Especially Dong Ruifeng, he constantly lost his temper in front of media reporters. Lost face.
After the press conference, Dong Ruifeng breathed a long sigh of relief, and he wanted to discuss the next thing with Zhang Yuan. only to find that the other party had disappeared. Dong Ruifeng sighed faintly, he clearly knew that this senior brother of his had been completely disappointed in himself......
On the same night, the crew of "Magic Green Jade" held a movie premiere at Golden Harvest Cinema City in Harbour City, Milton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. There were a lot of guests present, most of whom were well-known stars or directors.
At the door of the cinema, Ma Yuan kept looking left and right, suspicious in his heart. News from Kyoto has reached here. The official lawsuit of Qingyun Entertainment against Tenglong Pictures was circulated throughout the crew.
Ma Yuan was very worried, will Chen Yuan appear at the premiere of "Magic Green Jade"? Will he be prosecuted?
His worries were unwarranted. Until the movie premiere began, Chen Yuan did not appear.
In the interactive session, the questions from media reporters mainly revolved around the stars, and Zhang Weijian, Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Junru, and Xu Ruoxuan were asked the most times. Everyone has been in battle for a long time, and it is easy to deal with it. Ma Yuan stood in the middle of everyone, he was worried, what if he was asked about plagiarism in the script?
He overestimated himself as the screenwriter of the script. Ma Yuan played the most humble role in the entire crew, and almost no media reporters were interested in him, let alone asked him questions. He seemed to have dodged again, but for some reason. He felt extremely uncomfortable. This feeling of being ignored is so uncomfortable!
The lights in the screening room dimmed, a bright light pierced the big screen, and the movie began!
Ma Yuan relaxed and enjoyed watching the movie.
The story revolves around a piece of green jade, which takes place in the city of Xiangjiang. There are four different forces that have come up with the idea of this piece of green jade. The forces of all parties are fighting openly and secretly, you are fighting for me, and there are constant jokes during this period. The laughter in the cinema almost never stops! The premiere of "Magic Green Emerald" was an unprecedented success!
After the premiere, the crew discussed and went to the roadside stall for supper.
Plenty of skewers and beer were served, and everyone had a good drink and talk about it on this hot summer day.
Zeng Zhiwei quietly came to Ma Yuan's side and whispered: "Don't worry, the people who inquired about that matter before were all sent away by us." There will be no surprises! ”
Ma Yuan raised his glass and took a big sip. The haze that had been in place for many days had vanished, and he couldn't help but laugh. Then he let himself go completely, got drunk, and was thrown into the hotel by the others.
slept until the afternoon of the next day, when Dong Ruifeng got up from the bed. He felt dizzy and uncomfortable. But the mood is pleasant. Things all seem to be going well.
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.
Ma Yuan quickly got up and opened the door. saw Chen Jing standing at the door with a cold face.
Ma Yuan was surprised, he asked with a smile, "Director Chen, what's wrong with you?" ”
"To tell you a very unfortunate news, just over an hour ago, Chen Yuan held a press conference to announce to the media that we were officially indicted!" Chen Jing said coldly.
Ma Yuan's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he said, "How is this possible?" How is this possible? ”
"How could it be?" Chen Jing is very unhappy now.
Ma Yuan hurriedly explained: "Director Chen, the script has been changed by you. Our script is even more complex and exciting than the original! "Magic Green Jade" cannot constitute plagiarism at all. What did he sue us? ”
"Chen Yuan has a piece of evidence there, which is the email exchange between the two of you...... Chen said.
"It can't be!" Ma Yuan said loudly, "Those emails have been deleted by the hackers I hired, and it is impossible for him to take them out again!" Is he bluffing? ”
Chen Jing didn't know the twists and turns, and after listening to Ma Yuan's explanation, he finally calmed down.
In fact. After learning that Qingyun Entertainment sued them, Chen Jing was not very nervous, and there was no plagiarism between "Magic Green Jade" and "Crazy Stone". Even if the other party sues them, nothing will come of it. He just didn't feel good, and last night's movie premiere was a great success. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing again, and I was disgusted in vain!
Chen Jing left the hotel. He was going to hold a press conference to respond to the media public.
While Chen Jing was busy preparing for the press conference, Chen Yuan and others, who were far away in Kyoto, were enjoying the food in front of them.
The main members of Qingyun Entertainment are here. President Chen Yuan. Assistant to the president Ye Yun and Li Bing, two directors Guan Hu and Ning Hao, four actors Huang Xiaoming, Gao Hu, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, Fan Bing at the front desk of the company, and Su Muying, a total of 11 people. Everyone sat down around the table, which was piled high with delicious dishes.
Chen Yuan sandwiched a piece of chicken wings in front of Su Muying, Su Muying did not refuse, but she whispered: "Brother Chen Yuan, I am full." Don't clip me anymore......"
Chen Yuan nodded. He looked up again and scanned the crowd, and saw that everyone had eaten almost enough. So he beckoned the waiter outside to remove everything from the table and make a new pot of tea.
Everyone was sitting in danger, knowing that Chen Yuan had something important to say, so they all waited quietly.
Chen Yuan looked around and said slowly: "The company's shooting plan for the first half of the year has been completed, and there are still two movies to be made in the second half of the year. One is a companion to "Crazy Stone" - "Crazy Racing", and the other is the thriller "Midnight Taxi". "Crazy Racing" will still be directed by Guan Hu and Ning Hao, and this "Midnight Taxi" will be talked about later! ”
"Mr. Chen," Guan Hu reminded. ""Crazy Stone" hasn't been released yet, and we don't know the box office results of the movie yet, is it too blind to rush to make the next movie?"
Chen Yuan smiled faintly. "It's not blindness, it's self-confidence. "Super Big Diamond", which was released yesterday, had a very good box office on the first day, and "Crazy Stone" was better than "Super Big Diamond", so there is no reason why the box office will be much worse, right? ”
Guan Hu nodded and didn't say anything more.
"On the issue of film casting, I'm going to let it go completely this time. It's up to you two directors to arrange everything. But there is a premise, we must give priority to the actors of our company. ”
After changing the topic, Chen Yuan said again: "Speaking of actors, I remember it. Li Bing, Huang Bo, Gao Hu, Huang Xiaoming, Wang Baoqiang, several of you have agreed to join the company, but the company has not given a perfect contract so far, which is my dereliction of duty. Ye Yun, the matter of the actor's contract is entrusted to you. Aim to come up with a decent contract within a week's time! ”
Ye Yun nodded calmly.
"It's now the end of the month and the school is about to start. The next thing in the company is to ask everyone," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "The most important thing in the company at present is to win these two lawsuits!" This matter will be handed over to Li Bing to be responsible. In the event of any incident, you will be a representative of the company and a voice in front of the media. I hope you can be cautious and not be taken advantage of by some villains. ”
Li Bing responded: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured, I will definitely do this well!" ”
"Well," Chen Yuan said, "everyone will be very busy in the next two weeks. In addition to these two lawsuits, you may also have to do some film promotion work and participate in some promotional activities. ”
"Mr. Chen, I don't think the company needs to spend more time on publicity," Ye Yun put forward, she said, "At present, these two lawsuits have attracted the public's attention, and "Crazy Stone" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as an original. Even if we do more publicity, it will not have much effect. ”
Chen Yuan pondered for a long time, nodded, and said, "What you said is good. For the rest of the year, everyone will be busy. Let's cancel the promotional video. ”
"Is that really going to work?" Ning Hao still had some doubts.
"No problem, these two lawsuits are already promoting our films," Ye Yun explained, "The three stone works have been hyped months ago, and after cooling for a while, they are now being taken out and stirred. The general public has already developed a curiosity about these three works. Especially as the original "Crazy Stone", its ability to attract gold will definitely be stronger! ”
The movie promotion was canceled, but there are still many things to be done next, Chen Yuan said: "The movie thing will be put aside for now, and then let's talk about the company's next step." When Ye Yun joined the company, she proposed a plan to 'rent a bookstore', and I thought about it carefully for a long time and felt that this plan was feasible. The only problem is the lack of a person in charge with strong execution ability......"
At this time, Fan Bing suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, do you think I can do it?" ”
Chen Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect Fan Bing to recommend himself, he shook his head and said: "I originally intended to hand over this matter to Ye Yun to do, but Ye Yun is responsible for too many things, I'm afraid I can't be busy!" Alas, this plan has been put on hold for the time being, and when we find the right person, we will revisit this matter! ”
Fan Bing was rejected by Chen Yuan in person, and his face was a little unbearable. But she couldn't show it, so she could only bow her head and sulk alone.
Before saying the next thing, Chen Yuan glanced at Su Muying first, and found that she was learning from other people's examples, sitting upright, and couldn't help but feel funny.
Su Muying felt Chen Yuan's gaze and felt that he was laughing at himself, so he glared at him fiercely.
Chen Yuan smiled again, and continued: "In the next year, the company will focus on a draft event. ”
"Draft?" Ye Yun and Li Bing both frowned.
Su Muying blinked, and there was excitement in his eyes. Chen Yuan had told her about this draft before. Is it finally time to start implementing it now? She felt her heart beating so fast, and the blood in her whole body was speeding up, and it seemed to be boiling!
Chen Yuan saw that everyone was puzzled, and he calmly explained: "This talent show has a name, called Super Girl, referred to as 'Super Girl', which is a national popular singer talent ......" (to be continued.) )
