Chapter 101: The Man Behind the Scenes
Xiao Cheng's words are a bit irresponsible, but he also pointed out a solution. Qian Lekang couldn't help laughing, it's true, if you want to say that you can't find a director in the Chinese Opera Academy, isn't it a joke?
Xiao Cheng stood up and said, "I'll leave these to you, I'll come over and take a look if I find a suitable director." ”
For the rest of the day, Xiao Cheng was at home copying "Xun Qin" while waiting for the results of the review of "Spider-Man".
On April 29, Bai Fan made a phone call and said carefully: "Boss, the content censorship of "Spider-Man" has not been passed. ”
This result was not Xiao Cheng's expectation, and he said lightly: "What aspect does the Film Association say is there a problem?" ”
Bai Fan said: "The film association said that "Spider-Man" promotes personal heroism and is suspected of inducing others to commit crimes. Of course, this is just a superficial statement, Director Lin and I just walked out of the door of the Film Association, and a middle-aged man came to us and said that their film and television distribution company could help us get through the review. ”
Xiao Cheng frowned and said, "Did the other party say that he was from that company?" What conditions are offered? ”
Bai Fan said: "The other party said that he was from Xinghui Film and Television Distribution Company, and their general manager wanted to have an interview with you, and, moreover. ”
Hearing Bai Fan's hesitation, Xiao Cheng knew that Xinghui must have some excessive demands, and he sneered: "Just say anything, why are you spitting and spitting?" It's none of your business. ”
Bai Fan had no choice, he definitely couldn't hide this matter from Xiao Cheng, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "Their general manager wants you to bring Tang Tiantian and Liu Rumeng to the banquet, and the time is set for 8 o'clock tomorrow night." ”
Hehe, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but laugh angrily, these scumbags, he sneered: "What if I don't agree? ”
Bai Fan knew that Xiao Cheng must be angry at this time, but he couldn't help but answer, so he had to say with a bitter face: "The other party said that if neither Tang Tiantian nor Liu Rumeng can get any of them, it will be impossible for "Spider-Man" to pass the trial. ”
To be honest, if the other party just asks for a little more in terms of interests, Xiao Cheng will still consider it, he is not a child after all, and he knows that some things need to be compromised. But if he wants to take two women to make compromises, who is that bullshit general manager of Xinghui when he Xiao Cheng? Pimping?
Xiao Cheng is not an impulsive hot-blooded teenager, but the other party's approach made him feel extremely disgusted, and he couldn't bear it, so he didn't need to endure it anymore. He asked, "Is that man still with you?" ”
Bai Fan didn't know what Xiao Cheng thought, and said honestly: "That person hasn't left yet, it's not far from us." ”
Xiao Cheng said calmly: "Give him the phone, and I'll say a few words to him." ”
Bai Fan didn't dare to disobey, walked over and handed the phone to the middle-aged man of Xinghui Company, and said, "Our boss wants to say a few words to you." ”
The middle-aged man took the phone and said indifferently: "How about it, Boss Xiao has thought about it?" ”
Xiao Cheng said word by word: "Tell your general manager for me and tell him to eat!" ”
The middle-aged man obviously didn't think that Xiao Cheng would say such a thing, his mind couldn't turn around, and he said in a whisper: "You, you!" ”
Xiao Cheng ignored the other party's reaction, since he had torn his face, he didn't have any scruples, and it was a big deal not to release it in China. He turned on his laptop and began to search for the world's most famous international film festivals. Then, to his surprise, the Cannes Film Festival's website came into view.
Xiao Cheng opened it and saw that the Cannes Film Festival in this world, whether it is its influence in the film industry, or the scale of the number of participants and the number of films, are larger than in the previous life, and it is not much worse than the Oscars in the United States.
Looking at the dates of the Cannes Film Festival, it is from June 15th to June 30th every year. Xiao Cheng blinked, picked up the phone and dialed Hua Ailin, and said, "Director Hua, immediately go and apply for me and the main personnel of the "Spider-Man" crew to go to France to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and by the way, inquire about the specific situation of the Cannes Film Festival." In addition, find someone to sign up for "Spider-Man" and send it to the Cannes Film Festival to participate in the commercial film exhibition there, all three things must be done, and if there is any difficulty, call me. ”
Hua Erin on the other side of the phone immediately agreed.
It's already the end of April, and there is still more than a month to go, and it should still be in time for the commercial film festival in Cannes. At this time, Xiao Cheng remembered an important thing, that is, to add English subtitles to "Spider-Man".
And when Xiao Cheng was busy going to Cannes to attend the film festival, the middle-aged man from Xinghui Film and Television Distribution Company was already so angry that he immediately dialed the phone number of the general manager of Xinghui.
The general manager of Xinghui Film and Television Distribution Company is named Xu Feibai, he is sitting in the luxury suite of Yangcheng Swan Hotel at the moment, he heard the mobile phone ringing, picked it up and saw that it was his assistant Wang Guotao calling, he answered the phone and said: "Hey, Guotao, how are things going?" ”
Wang Guotao said: "Mr. Xu, things are not easy to do, the other party doesn't know what the background is, he doesn't give any face, and their boss Xiao Cheng still scolds you." ”
Hearing this, Xu Feibai sat up straight from the bed and asked with some puzzlement: "Didn't you investigate that Xiao Cheng?" Said he had no backstage and no background. ”
Wang Guotao said: "Yes! Xiao Cheng is only 17 years old, and we have investigated everything from his birth to the present, and I really can't think of any confidence for him to go against our Xinghui. ”
Hanging up the phone, Xu Fei sat on the bed with a grim look in his eyes, pondering in his heart, didn't the other party know the background of his boss? Probably not! Xiao Cheng's "Spider-Man" has invested nearly 100 million yuan, with such a big investment, how can he not care about things in the Chinese film and television industry, the identity of his boss is known to anyone who knows a little bit about it. Even if Xiao Cheng didn't know, it was impossible for the people around him not to tell Xiao Cheng.
He didn't think too much about the extra condition proposed by Xu Feibai, it was just two female stars, could it be that the relationship between these two women and Xiao Cheng was so deep that he could ignore the box office of "Spider-Man"?
It should be impossible! How many of those women in the film and television industry are as guarded as jade? As long as it can bring them great benefits, it is easy to loosen their belts.
The only possibility is that someone else made the first move and found Xiao Cheng first. Thinking of this, Xu Feibai immediately dialed his boss's phone, and after the phone was connected, Xu Feibai said: "Jin Shao, someone on Xiao Cheng's side may have taken a step ahead of us, and now Xiao Cheng doesn't pay attention to us at all." ”
A lazy voice came from the phone and said, "Well, got it." Those guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, how can they be tempted to look at a piece of big fat meat, I will deal with it, you keep an eye on Xiao Cheng's movements. ”
Xu Feibai responded: "Yes, Jin Shao, I know what to do." ”
With his own boss out of the horse, Xu Feibai had nothing to worry about, he called Wang Guotao again and said: "You go to check, see if any people from other distribution companies have contacted Xiao Cheng recently, and if you find out, you will sue me immediately." ”
It's a pity, even if Xu Feibai calculates everything, he wouldn't have thought that Xiao Cheng's temper is really not very good, as long as someone touches his bottom line, the hooligan in this guy's bones will completely attack, regardless of the fight with you to the end.
