241 before the premiere
Jingcheng Airport.
Zheng Xu took Xiao Kai with him, followed by Huang Xiaoming and his chubby little assistant.
A group of four people came over a day in advance, rested for half a day, and attended the premiere of Lao Jiang's new movie "One Step Away" tomorrow.
"Xiao Ming hasn't had a role with you these days, you can rest for a day or two before going back."
"No, Director Zheng, I'll go back with you tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
"Zheng Dao, you go slowly."
...................
It's all in the capital, and the rest of Zheng Xu doesn't care about him, looks at the business car parked in the distance, and gets in the car with Xiao Kai.
Taking off his mask, Zheng Xu saw that there was no one else in the car, so he drove with a tip, and said with some curiosity: "You came by yourself?" ”
"Ahaha, a few of them are busy in the office, I'll send you directly to the hotel, Mr. Wang came to our office in advance, he was supposed to pick you up with me, there was something temporary, he said he was waiting for you at the hotel."
The tip team leader started the business car and said as he drove it.
"Mr. Wang? Wang Jie? Why did he come too? ”
Zheng Xu was a little puzzled, why did Wang Jie come to join in the fun? At this point in time, it is estimated that he will also participate in the movie premiere, but Lao Jiang is playing very fancy, dare to let the people of belching art and Lao Wang participate in the premiere together, and they are not afraid of meeting and doing it?
"I don't know, Mr. Wang found our office in the morning, visited a circle, had lunch with us, was going to come with him, but then he answered the phone and left, let me tell you that he was waiting for you in the hotel."
"Okay."
Zheng Xu closed his eyes slightly, looking at the traffic outside the window, it was not easy to live in the capital.
Just look at this traffic, it's not yet the evening rush hour, it's already jammed like this, if you spend time in traffic jams every day, then the work efficiency...
But this place also has its advantages, centralized, large circles, and many resources.
But if the location of Yishanyi Media is changed to the capital, Zheng Xu has a toothache when he thinks about it, maybe if he stayed in the capital at that time, there would be no current Yishanyi Media, he can't solve it with only one office land, let alone rent any office building, the rent here is almost a year's rent for the same house in Zhongzhou City for a month!
There is simply no comparison.
Besides, if he had established a new company here at that time, he might have been eaten by various sectors before he could develop, and he would not have been left with so much room for development.
After a short rest, I opened my eyes again, and I was about to arrive at the hotel, and I came out of the airport and drove for an hour and a half before I could get to the hotel quickly.
....................
After the tip team leader accompanied Zheng Xu to complete the formalities, he sent Zheng Xu to the room and withdrew, and he will come to pick up Zheng Xu tomorrow.
The door of another suite next to Zheng Xu's suite was wide open, and Lao Wang looked at Zheng Xu with a probing brain and said, "I originally wanted to follow to pick you up, but there was something temporary." ”
"Brother, you're hard enough, live next to me directly, come in and say." Zheng Xu motioned for Lao Wang to enter his room and said, Xiao Kai pushed his luggage and went to pack it first.
Wang Jie sat on the sofa in the living room, looked at Zheng Xu, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked downstairs, and said, "Brother, how is "Thunderbolt Ranger", we haven't worked much this year." ”
"Wait for the beginning of the year, it's all a waste of time on special effects, this is already done while shooting, we have saved most of our time, and it is very fast to be able to produce such a TV series in more than half a year!"
Zheng Xu didn't want to say much about the TV series, it had already been arranged, and the rest was just to wait for time, he was now more concerned about the purpose of Lao Wang's coming over this time, and pretended not to care and asked, "Why did Director Jiang invite you over?" Hao Qiyi's heart is so big? What about demonstrations? ”
Lao Jiang's "One Step Away" is invested and filmed by Hao Qiyi, Lao Jiang's invitation to Zheng Xu to the premiere is quite reasonable, support the scene, but invite Wang Jie...
"Hey, I called Director Jiang and took the initiative to come, I'll come and see how they are shooting, this is the first commercial film shot by the director of the online video platform, I, as the boss of Penguin Video, always have to care about it, although they are definitely not as good as you, brother, but you can't underestimate the enemy, right?"
"Hmm..."
Zheng Xu glanced at Lao Wang strangely, Lao Jiang's "One Step Away" is a commercial movie?
The shooting cost is enough commercial, but Zheng Xu, who knows the details, almost laughed.
Lao Jiang is a ghost!
What is a ghost?
That's not human!
His performance is inconsistent, the ceiling is extremely high, but the lower limit can also be extremely low.
Lao Jiang can well reflect all the risks of a great director.
The "Let the Bullets Fly" filmed by Lao Jiang a few years ago was indeed a double harvest of business and art, and it was both a blockbuster and a deep one.
But since then, the level of Lao Jiang is not easy to say, and now there is capital to favor Lao Jiang, which is normal, but I am afraid that Qi Qi Yi will vomit blood after the release of "One Step Away".
...................
"What's the matter, brother? Have you seen this film in advance? Lao Wang was very keen to find the strange look on Zheng Xu's face, think about the relationship between Zheng Xu and Director Jiang, if Zheng Xu had watched the film in advance...
"I haven't seen it yet, how can I have time to watch it, I'm either busy doing the post-production, or preparing new projects, tell me about you, what's going on?"
I'm too lazy to talk about this again, Lao Jiang's new movie, is a mule or a horse, and it's going to be pulled out for a walk tomorrow, what's the hurry.
"Hey, brother, I didn't have time to ask you a while ago, did you and Lao Cao get into trouble? Do you want my brother to give you a punch? Lao Wang talked about business, squeezing his eyebrows at Zheng Xu, with a gossipy face.
Some time ago, Zheng Xu suddenly "thundered", but Lao Wang was frightened, he didn't call Zheng Xu to make trouble at the first time, and quietly watched the development of the situation.
In just one day, the situation was eerily calm.
Through this incident, Lao Wang knew that he must have suffered a loss on the side of the neck, and as an industry insider, he knew too much about the urine nature of these Internet companies.
But then, Zheng Xu's side began to retaliate against the operation of the scarf, which made Lao Wang a little incomprehensible, and got rid of the supervisor, which was quite in line with Zheng Xu's way of doing things, but not long after, some other things broke out, especially the rumors in the circle, Boss Cao was a little annoyed and angry, and released cruel words to engage Zheng Xu.
But not long after Boss Cao said this, he was backstabbed by Zheng Xu again, one of the people on that list was counted as one, and none of them had a good end, and the worst one was also bleeding heavily, losing a sum of money, and there was no way to say what was worse.
Lao Wang didn't know what happened between the two of them, but later, the boss of another department in the company called him and wanted him to match up and find Zheng Xu to cooperate.
Many people forget that big penguins also have scarves!
Although their bibs are a bit weak, and they were even more discontinued after a few years, the current penguin bibs are still a bit powerful!
Especially recently, Boss Cao's scarf customers have been lost, and the scarf customers on the penguin side have increased.
...................
Listening to Lao Wang's story, Zheng Xu had some new ideas, he never remembered that the penguins still had scarves, and their sense of existence in this department was too weak!
Now that Lao Wang reminded him, it brought Zheng Xu a new idea, but why did he help the penguin's scarf?
"Brother, don't talk about cooperation, let's talk about short videos first, I'll give you a thorough understanding first, the year before last, we had a flash of short videos to start a new business, and when the time comes, it's not the price it is now."
The penguin, which has always been atmospheric, was very inkblot in the negotiations between the two sides this time, and once reached an impasse.
"Brother, I can't help much, not only can't I help, but I also have to avoid suspicion, you..."
"That's okay..."Zheng Xu stared at Lao Wang for a while, wanting to sell Lao Wang a "favor".
"Boss Cao and I are a little bit of a holiday, you also know that I am a person, I am not in good health, I can't stand it, our two families touched a little bit this time, a few years ago, there will probably be some results, if you want to help, don't worry, you will know when the time comes, you don't have to help openly, we will do our own, it depends on the situation when the time comes, we should eat meat and eat meat."
Lao Wang looked at Zheng Xu with flickering eyes, listening to the meaning of this, the scarf will suffer again.
"Okay, I don't care about this part, just bring the words, that's all for today, let's go over together tomorrow, let me rub the car."
"Okay."
"Haha, then you rest first, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Zheng Xu watched Lao Wang get up and leave, staring at Lao Wang's back, and the last words Lao Wang said just now woke him up.
He also committed inertial thinking, he was sometimes afraid that Lao Wang would seduce Lao Jiang to divide his own chassis, but what about Lao Wang?
Is Lao Wang afraid of himself?
He is the CEO of a penguin subsidiary, is he idle and has nothing to do?
He ran to attend the premiere of a movie, and he had to follow him in the car, Lao Wang was afraid that Qi Yi would introduce him through Lao Jiang to seduce him, right?
Because he used to say that Lao Zhang didn't know how strong he was, Zheng Xu sometimes ignored it, in fact, Lao Wang was also afraid that other online video platforms would seduce him!
He Zheng Xu is much more stable than Lao Jiang! The commercial value is also much higher than that of the old ginger!
Scold~
It's all old foxes.
....................
The night of December 15, 2014.
Wang Jie and Zheng Xu sat in the back seat of the business car, looking at the flow of people outside the window, and their hearts were a little bottomless.
"Brother, isn't it okay for the two of us to dress like this?" Wang Jie looked at the dark down jacket on his body with a sad face.
"Then you take off, put on a suit, wear a dress, I'm stopping you?"
"Tsk, but we still have to walk the red carpet, it's a bit embarrassing to dress like this, right?"
Zheng Xu looked out the window and said: "Who told you that you are going to walk the red carpet, let's go around directly, I have told Lao Jiang, whoever likes to go, I will not go." ”
"Huh? You don't walk the red carpet? So what are you doing here? Lao Wang was alert in an instant.
"Lao Jiang's invitation was given to me early, I can't talk about it, I just come to see the excitement, just show your face, who has the kung fu to walk the red carpet, frozen like a stupid child, don't suffer? I'm not going to come here and mess with him on the red carpet. ”
"Oh, that's fine, that's fine." Relieved and calmed down, Lao Wang didn't care about the clothes anymore, and happily watched the driver turn around.
Director Jiang's premiere this time was very large.
The location was chosen at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center.
It is said that more than 800 people came to the audience alone, and with the addition of guests from all walks of life, nearly 3,000 people attended the entire premiere!
It is said that this time the high-specification IMAX screen was used, which was specially shipped from the United States, and was 26 meters wide and 14.5 meters high, with a total weight of 750 kilograms, and it took 40 workers to pull and hang it at one time.
This is one aspect of style, and Zheng Xu also knows an inside story, Lao Jiang, this old guy, is a little self-indulgent this time.
A few days ago, there were the latest review results in the bureau, and Lao Jiang's "One Step Away" temporary notice had three things that needed to be revised.
It's not a few days before the release date!
Maybe the rubber trays have been shipped to theaters all over the world, and now they suddenly have to be changed.
Just this time to revise, the money lost is enough for Zheng Xu to make a movie.
And think about Lao Jiang's style, before it is released, there are also deletion and correction opinions, the "money" scene of this film... It's all in plain sight.
.......................
Zheng Xu took Wang Jie and followed Lao Jiang's assistant around the path into the venue, and it was not until the guest area that he saw Lao Jiang who had just walked the red carpet.
"Director Zheng! I heard that you were filming in the Northeast? I deliberately stopped for two days, and I didn't say anything, I was exquisite! ”
When Lao Jiang saw Zheng Xu, he first hugged his fists and thanked him.
"I accepted your post, so I have to come for anything."
"Hahaha, come on, I'll introduce you to a few friends." Lao Jiang personally took Zheng Xu to introduce the starring role of this movie.
As the two of them approached, there were rows of people who stood up and said hello everywhere they went, one was the elder of the Beijing circle, and the other was the elder of the film and television industry, both of whom were the protagonists of today!
Zheng Xu didn't want to steal the limelight from Lao Jiang, and his expression was a little cold.
Except for Uncle Ge who asked Zheng Xu to smile a little, the others, Zheng Xu just nodded lightly, and didn't even hold his hand.
"Brother Zheng, you sit down first, I'm busy today, I can't take care of it, Mr. Wang, you two talk first~" Lao Jiang arranged Zheng Xu on the left side of the first row, explained a few words in a low voice, and was busy greeting the other guests.
......................
"Good guy, Director Jiang's face is quite big." Lao Wang tilted his head and sat next to Zheng Xu and whispered.
The two of them are dressed a little out of place with the people around them, even Lao Jiang is wearing a dress and a bow tie today, and they are sitting in the first row in their daily down jackets, which is particularly eye-catching.
But as long as you know the identities of the two of them, you will feel that the eldest should be like this, not only will it not be obvious that they are impolite, but also have to praise the true temperament of the eldest elder.
From a distance, it looks like two paparazzi have mixed into the first row.
"If it were me, I wouldn't have spent so much money on this kind of premiere, what a waste of money, and Lao Jiang loves face, why can't I have this money?"
Zheng Xu complained, it was the first time to participate in this kind of premiere, just looking at the scene, it was really atmospheric!
But think about the cost in between...
