Chapter 197: The Great Earthquake in the Entertainment Industry
After the Spring Festival in 2005, who is the most popular person in the entertainment industry, basically no need to choose, everyone will choose Wang Zhengfei, yes, whether Wang Zhengfei admits it or not.
The beating incident caused a sensation in the entertainment industry, and even caused a sensation on the entire Internet, everyone is reflecting on Wang Zhengfei's behavior, whether as a public figure, is he responsible for his own behavior, and set off a new round of condemnation of the inappropriate behavior of stars in the entertainment industry.
According to the average person's thoughts, after experiencing this kind of thing, Wang Zhengfei, who had just shown his head, should have collapsed, after all, artists who have experienced this kind of thing in the past are usually difficult to turn over, and if the reputation of artists in the entertainment industry stinks, then there is no chance at all.
For example, Su Yongkang, who was very popular in the past, has never been able to get up after the drug-related incident, and one typical example after another tells everyone that it is difficult for Wang Zhengfei to please him this time.
But who knows, Wang Zhengfei was not defeated this time, on the contrary, he quickly found evidence to prove his innocence, thus completing a gorgeous turn and becoming a hero of righteousness and bravery, in just half a month, he has experienced a change from being scolded by 10,000 people to praised by 10,000 people, this process is simply a miracle.
Anyway, Wang Zhengfei's New Year beating incident still adds a bit of humanity to this cold winter, and the words "righteous and brave" are fluttering, but how many people will do it, they don't even dare to steal a wallet, let alone this kind of thing, the other party still has a murder weapon in his hand, such a long meat cleaver, do ordinary people dare to go up? But he dared!
People thought about it for a long time, maybe some people would say that Wang Zhengfei was stunned, maybe some people would say that Wang Zhengfei had a bad temper, maybe some people would question Wang Zhengfei's talent, but since then, no one has doubted Wang Zhengfei's character, and the person who dares to rush up and fight with the gangsters is definitely not a bad person, the public's idea is very simple and simple, but it is very direct, good people and bad people are actually not so complicated in the eyes of the public.
Many artists have not done things for decades, Wang Zhengfei has done one thing, you donate money and others can also suspect you of cheating, you call for public welfare, others wonder if you are putting on a show, but this matter is in the public eye, and the whole process has been recorded by video, if it is just like this, it will not let the public be like this.
The most important thing is that Wang Zhengfei was wronged at the beginning, and he was wronged and entered the police station, and among the people who wronged Wang Zhengfei, in addition to the Yao family, they were them, they set off a frenzy of public opinion in the newspaper and on the Internet, and bombarded Wang Zhengfei indiscriminately at that time.
The result of comparing hearts to hearts is that they feel that they can't do Wang Zhengfei's responsibility, although they know that they are wrong, many people apologize publicly, but there are more people who can't apologize, but their support is reflected in action.
On this issue, Wang Zhengfei is considered a blessing in disguise and has achieved great success, and Wang Zhengfei's good luck has suddenly aroused the envy and jealousy of many celebrities in the circle.
This can't be broken, and if it is broken, all the previous efforts will be wasted, just like how long did Brother Chen Long and Li Lian do charity, and how many commercial shows have been withdrawn to have the current reputation!
Although Wang Zhengfei is not as good as them now, he is not far behind, and it is basically an order of magnitude.
The report of Southern Metropolis Daily is the most representative among the reports of many newspapers, "A Child's Inspiration to Us! 》
"He's still a child, a child under the age of 20, legally he's already an adult, but in reality, he's just a kid in his third year of college, in China, at such an age, you can only be called a child, but it's such a child who teaches us such a lesson, when facing knife-wielding gangsters, do any of us dare to go up?
He is just a post-80s born on May 23, 85, not yet 20 years old, a typical post-80s, known as the defeated post-80s, since the first post-80s adulthood has been there has been a debate about whether the post-80s can still be saved, but Wang Zhengfei's behavior has given us a revelation, that is, the post-80s have not collapsed, they just need time to bear the responsibilities that should belong to them, and they can't be judged because they haven't taken it yet, and at critical moments, they may not be worse than others, but the post-70s, Even after the 60s, a large number of people need to reflect on whether they have set a good example for their children!
Wang Zhengfei is in the most complex entertainment industry, and it can be said that it is not easy to have such a pure heart, just like when a child makes a mistake and needs encouragement, but most people send all kinds of vicious verbal curses and attacks, which is too unfair, not to mention that he hasn't done anything wrong! ”
Of course, this is still a more pertinent evaluation, and there are many people who praise Wang Zhengfei to the sky, and Wang Zhengfei himself is embarrassed, if he is not the person himself, if he is not the person concerned, he probably doesn't know, who is the guy who is praised in the newspaper as if he is a revolutionary martyr.
In fact, Wang Zhengfei is not as exaggerated as they exaggerated, any lofty consciousness is nonsense, he basically reacted subconsciously at that time, and this kind of thing is normal in his opinion, can he not be saved when he dies? Of course not!
But even this kind of thing is still praised to the sky, and he can only say what's wrong with this society!
Of course, this matter is in the past, after all, it is only in the past tense.
But Wang Zhengfei, who doesn't stop, has made a big move again, Xingchen Entertainment is going to make a film, oh, no, it should be accurate that Wang Zhengfei is going to make a film, and it is known as the martial arts masterpiece "Qin Shi Mingyue", claiming to have invested more than 100 million, which suddenly shocked the entertainment industry, these years, there are few movies with a box office of more than 100 million, which is basically rare, so movies with an investment of more than 100 million are even more rare like national treasures, basically very rare, those slogans that deceive outsiders can't blind insiders, Now China's real investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is only "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides" ambush and a few other movies, well, Chen Kaige's "Wuji", which also announced a filming plan this year, is also counted as one, just talk about a few, from 00 years, there is basically about one a year.
In this case, Xingchen Entertainment, which suddenly appeared, announced that it was going to shoot a martial arts masterpiece called "Qin Shi Mingyue", and the investment was more than 100 million, not the so-called 100 million, many movies only 50 million investment dare to claim 100 million, a large part of this reason is because of the audience's dependence on blockbusters, blockbusters must go to the cinema to watch the atmosphere, as for the rest, just buy a disc or watch it on the computer.
came out without warning at all, the name Xingchen Entertainment is not a big name in the circle, but it is not obscure, in the past year or so, Xingchen Entertainment suddenly appeared, harvesting two low-cost, but box office together over 80 million blockbusters, 04 blockbusters, just by the box office "Immortality" won 81 million, becoming the top three at the box office that year, if you count the cost and other reasons, "Immortality" is far behind other movies, It is the first dark horse in 04.
And in 05, although "Crazy Stone" has just begun, it occupies the top spot at the box office with a box office of 85 million, although I don't know if blockbusters such as "Wuji" and "Myth" can have an impact on him later, but even so, the top five seats still have his share, and Xingchen Entertainment, which owns these two movies, is definitely an emerging force in the circle, and no one dares to underestimate it.
But even so, in the eyes of the circle, Xingchen Entertainment is still just a general company that has been promoted from a small-scale company to a medium-sized company.
Although small-scale movies are to make money, small-budget films have always been made, and they can only be made by grassroots people, not a long-term plan.
The most surprising thing for everyone is not that Xingchen Entertainment wants to invest 100 million yuan, which is nothing to worry about all the time, although this incident scared them a lot, what really made them entangled was that there was no precursor beforehand.
Generally, to shoot a large-scale movie of this scale, it is inevitable to pull investment everywhere, if it is long, a year and a half is normal, if there is really such a long time, there would have been news in the circle, but this time Xingchen Entertainment seems to have jumped out of the crack in the stone, and no one knew beforehand.
The industry personnel have calculated an account, and Xingchen Entertainment wants to complete this investment, unless they press all the box office and a series of other money they have earned before, leaving no room for it, it is possible to complete it.
Crazy, only this word can describe the current Xingchen Entertainment, after the industry calculates this result, only this word can be used to describe Xingchen Entertainment, if it is a person, now it can only be described as a madman.
Don't they know that there is such a financial institution as a bank in the world? Don't they know that there are capitalists like investors?
It's all pressed up, how risky it is, not putting all your eggs in one basket is a truth that three-year-olds understand!
This is the psychology of many Chinese capitalists, this is a very strange psychology, obviously they have money in their hands, but they are willing to borrow money from the bank, and the money they borrow is obviously borrowed, and the profits generated, that is, after paying the interest of the bank, there is very little left, and they are still happy to do it, as if this is the so-called borrowing other people's chickens and laying their own eggs, as if the money is not their money, as if the money is lost, they do not have to pay it back.
In fact, after they go bankrupt, they still need to use the money to pay off their debts.
But now Xingchen Entertainment is indeed all pressed, Xingchen Entertainment actually doesn't earn as much as the outside world thinks, especially when the first "Immortality", at that time, the main investment was Wang Zhengfei's, they were just because of the personnel and machines, etc., which were converted into two percent of the dividends, Xingchen Entertainment couldn't draw Wang Zhengfei's success, and at that time, the distributor was not themselves, it was still Zhang Yimou's company, and a considerable part of the interests were divided by Zhang Yimou's company. So at this time, it is okay to say that Xingchen Entertainment is all-or-nothing, but the money is not as much as they think.
And they don't know that Wang Zhengfei also has a large investment in "Qin Shi Mingyue", this time the investment of 100 million yuan in "Qin Shi Mingyue", Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan said okay, this time the investment of both sides accounts for half, the two sides are still relatively clear about each other's financial situation, and they both know each other's situation, Wang Zhengfei is almost 70 million liquidity, while Xingchen Entertainment is slightly less, about 60 million, 50 million each, so that both sides can leave a certain amount of spare strength, and it is not that there is no resistance to emergencies.
Of course, what makes them feel ridiculous the most is that Wang Zhengfei is the director of this big movie with an investment of more than 100 million, as a pure newcomer in the entertainment industry, a newcomer who has just debuted for a year, he can control the investment of more than 100 million, which is a very incredible situation in itself.
If Wang Zhengfei is the leading actor, then it's nothing, but the leading actor and the director are not the same concept at all, although many times, the director does not earn as much as the actor, and many times, the director is not as well-known as the actor, but as we all know, the director is far more difficult to be than the actor.
If Wang Zhengfei is just the leading actor, others will say at most that Wang Zhengfei is lucky, or that he is relying on nepotism, or in a general sense, the director knows the hero.
Although Wang Zhengfei already has a blockbuster movie of 80 million, everyone knows that it is a somewhat opportunistic movie, which is basically selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, which can only be said to be a marketing success, so most people do not recognize Wang Zhengfei's own strength in filmmaking!
If Wang Zhengfei was only in charge of tens of millions of movies, it would be fine, but after all, it is a movie of more than 100 million!
But there is no if in the world, and now Wang Zhengfei is controlling the life and death of this movie!
