Seeing the people outside, Chen Shuting opened the door.
A one-meter-eight man at the door, wearing sunglasses at night as if he was a thief, was actually Yangzi!
"Why are you back?" Chen Shuting looked at him inexplicably, "Sneaky"
When Yangzi No. 1 left, he also said that the movie he participated in needed nearly three months of publicity, and he would not return to Donghu for the time being.
Unexpectedly, before ten days, he came back, leaving Chen Shuting unclear.
Yoko didn't say a word, squeezed in and closed the door, and then took off her sunglasses.
"Didn't watch the news?" Yoko walked on the sofa, and her whole body wilted.
Chen Shuting spent the night figuring out his acting skills in the TV series, and he threw his mobile phone aside, not on a meager note, and he didn't know what happened.
"When is the news?"
"Two hours ago." Yangzi kicked Chen Shuting with his foot, squeezed Chen Shuting off the sofa, and lay flat on his own, without taking off his shoes. He rubbed his temples so hard that his eyes hurt and his head hurt, and he cursed a few meaningless swear words in annoyance.
Chen Shuting took out his mobile phone and prepared to search for news, but the app on the mobile phone was pushed, and several apps were all news with one theme: actor Li Chun died violently.
"Li Chun?" Chen Shuting vaguely remembered something, "Is it the male number one in your movie?" β
"Isn't that him?" Yangzi is weak, "Ya died by herself, the tickets were booked, and she had to drive herself on the highway, and then there was a car accident, with two young models, and all three of them died on the spot"
Now, all the promotional activities of Yoko's movie have been terminated, and it has become a question of whether or not it will be released and when it will be released.
"You have a deep friendship with him?" Chen Shuting asked Yangzi.
"Deep fart, what a good thing he is, I wish he was dead!" Yoko took a sip, and when she was angry, she spoke without taboos, "It can't be at this juncture!" β
Yoko has been in the industry for three years, has made a lot of bad movies, and has always dreamed of making movies. He worked hard and finally waited for this opportunity. Their upcoming movie is about the ideal of pilots, and Yoko plays the male number four, which is a very important role.
In the protagonist team, all the people who play are first-line celebrities, and only Yoko is a newcomer.
Yangzi is counting on relying on this drama to make some reputation, and the road ahead will be better, and there will be no need to pick up those bloody and cruel romance dramas.
But at the threshold of the release, the male number one hung up! All publicity for the show has stopped, and the theater side is also waiting, and the original release date may have to be changed.
Yoko felt that her future was uncertain, her heart was clouded, and the scenery in front of her turned gray.
"I think it's a good thing!" Chen Shuting comforted Yoko.
"What a fart." Yangzi only thought that Chen Shuting was casually talking about comforting him, and scolded irritably, "There is such a big thing, the film cannot be released as scheduled, and Lao Tzu's future road is dim!" β
"Why can't it be released as scheduled?" Chen Shuting said, "This is Li Chun's posthumous work, doesn't it have better commemorative value?" β
"Consuming the dead like this is scolded to death by Li Chun's fans!" Yangzi felt that Chen Shuting was a little naΓ―ve, and his ideas were too simple.
Chen Shuting remembered that in another world before his rebirth, "Passion and Speed 7" once occupied the first place in the total box office list of Chinese films with a box office of 2.4 billion for a long time.
Chen Shuting is a fan of that movie, it is indeed exquisite, hot-blooded, and passionate to watch. However, the box office of its first six films was not so exaggerated, until the seventh part of the actor Paul Walker died in a car accident, and netizens and filmmakers used computer stunts to "resurrect" him, which attracted a movie-watching boom.
Chen Shuting feels that Yangzi's drama can follow the publicity model of "Passion and Speed 7", talk about commemoration and feelings, and portray Li Chun as great and profound.
"I think we can go on." Chen Shuting said, "The way of propaganda has changed, and the way of memorial and feelings is used to publicize, and this film may be a dark horse." β
"It's not going to work!" Yoko was stunned.
He didn't quite believe Chen Shuting's words. In this time and space, there is no Paul Walker, there is no "Passion and Speed 7", and the Chinese respect the dead a lot, there is no precedent for their reference, they dare not be so bold.
In case of messing up, the director, other leading actors, and investment companies will all bear the notoriety of "consuming the dead" and "eating human blood steamed buns", and may be boycotted by netizens. Once it is boycotted by netizens, the careers of the director and other leading actors will be affected, and even the investors will be pulled out by netizens to boycott.
This is too risky, Yangzi feels that the investor would rather lose 30 million costs than continue to promote, attracting a black body, Chen Shuting's suggestion is unreliable.
"The safest way is to postpone this movie for a year or a few years, and wait for Li Chun's matter to die down for a while." Yoko Road.
He sighed again.
Yoko had great expectations for this movie, and now it is true that the greater the expectations, the more disappointed they are.
He was a little unable to lift his spirits, and the whole person shrank in the sofa, disheartened!
"What's the name of your movie?" Chen Shuting asked Yangzi, "Is it our company that invested?" β
""Proud in the Sky" is not invested by our company, but financed and produced by our company." Yangzi said, "The issuer is also our company, and the publicity is the same." β
It is equivalent to this movie, and the profit and loss are responsible for Ruitang Media Group.
Chen Shuting thought about it, picked up his mobile phone and called Lao Xie.
"What's wrong?" There was a little tender model on Lao Xie's bed, and he was about to enter the alley, when he was suddenly interrupted, and his tone was a little hard.
"Brother Xie, do you know about Li Chun?" Chen Shuting asked Lao Xie.
Although Chen Shuting didn't know what Lao Xie was doing in the company, Xu Li, Director Xu wanted to give him some face, and Chen Shuting felt that Lao Xie was deeply hidden.
Chen Shuting wants to fight for this film. Once it really succeeds, Yoko's worth will increase several times, or even dozens of times, and his ideals can be realized.
"Yes." Lao Xie pushed away the little tender model who climbed up, got up and walked to the sofa to sit down, and asked Chen Shuting seriously, "Song Shili is also one of the main creators of "Proud in the Sky", does he need any help?" β
Lao Xie immediately guessed that Chen Shuting's phone call was related to Yangzi, and he suddenly had no sexual desire, and seriously talked to Chen Shuting on the phone.
Yangzi waved his hand at Chen Shuting, so that he didn't have to continue.
Chen Shuting didn't listen to him, and asked Lao Xie: "Brother Xie, our company is the distributor of that movie, if this happens, will the film still be released?" β
"The main actors are dead, and it is very taboo to consume the dead." Lao Xie earnestly taught Chen Shuting, "All publicity for the movie has stopped, and at nine o'clock, all the representatives of the investor came to the company to discuss the compensation. β
"Do you have to pay a lot?" Chen Shuting asked.
"Isn't that normal?" Lao Xie disagreed, "How can there be an investment that only makes money and does not lose money?" No matter how many big names there are movies, there are times when there are no grains. β
"Can it be promoted and released as usual?" Chen Shuting asked.
Lao Xie sighed: "It's very unlikely, the company has withdrawn all the publicity funds." β
"Brother Xie, can we meet and talk?" Chen Shuting asked.
"Now?"
"Hmm." Chen Shuting said.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Lao Xie said: "You come to my side, I drank some wine today, and my head is dizzy."
"Okay." Chen Shuting said.
Lao Xie told Chen Shuting the address of his house. After hanging up the phone, he sent the tender model away, closed his eyes and took a nap to wait for Chen Shuting.
Chen Shuting changed his clothes and was about to go out, but Yangzi grabbed him.
"Ah Ting, forget it!" Yangzi said, "This movie is not invested by us, nor is it starring us, a male number four, there is no pity, what are you tossing in the middle of the night?" In case it is smashed, you will be mixed in the company in the future? β
Yangzi only has two years on his contract, and Chen Shuting has four years left.
Lao Xie does have connections in the company, if Chen Shuting said that Lao Xie was moved, Lao Xie really persuaded the high-level to continue to promote the release of the movie, if it was smashed, wouldn't Lao Xie and Chen Shuting be at fault?
Yangzi is a big deal to suffer for two years, but Chen Shuting has four years!
"Yoko, you believe me!" Chen Shuting said, "With 30 million yuan of financing, the company also has a huge loss. Businessmen are profit-seeking, as long as there is a good plan, the company will definitely be willing to continue to promote the release. β
"We are Chinese culturen-culturen, and money is originally contrary to feelings. You want to release it again, and you have to talk about your feelings, and you are drowned by the spittle of fans! Yangzi said, "What you said is also in vain, the company will not agree!" β
"I'll take it!" Chen Shuting said.
"You can't stand it!" Yangzi was very helpless, seeing that Chen Shuting had a tendon, he was afraid that he would talk nonsense on Lao Xie's side, so he said, "I'll go with you to see Lao Xie." β
Chen Shuting thought about it and agreed.
The two of them went downstairs and took a taxi to Lao Xie's apartment.
"Lao Xie's connections in the company, is it particularly deep?" Chen Shuting asked Yangzi on the road, "He doesn't look very old, how can he have such a deep relationship?" β
Yoko coughed.
"He and President Cai" Yoko lowered her voice, "You understand, right?" β
The president of Ruitang Media is a woman in her early forties, surnamed Cai, named Cai Xulin.
This woman, who used to be the president's secretary, is not tall, has a sweet appearance when she is young, and now she looks very graceful, and she is by no means a strong woman who is decisive in killing.
She is a woman, and she is not related to the old chairman, and she can do the level of president, and what is going on is mostly self-evident.
And the relationship between Lao Xie and Cai Xulin is even more beautiful.
Rumors in the rivers and lakes: Cai Xulin is the mistress of the old chairman, and Lao Xie is Cai Xulin's little white face.
Therefore, Lao Xie has a lot of resources, a wide range of contacts, and a deep relationship in the company.
"Lao Xie doesn't look like that kind of person." Chen Shuting frowned. He didn't get along with Lao Xie for a long time, and he had a good impression of him, and subconsciously favored him.
Moreover, Chen Shuting felt that if he was the chairman, he would never put his mistress in such an important position as the president of the company. The relationship between Cai Xulin and the chairman should not be a lover relationship.
"I've also heard from people, but I don't know the specifics." Yoko said immediately.
While the two were talking, they arrived at Lao Xie's apartment.
