Chapter 107 Invitation to the Southern California International Film Awards
[The 46th Golden Horse Awards was held on November 7 at the Taipei County Government Building on Taiwan Island, with a total of 100 films registered and 27 films shortlisted! ] 】
[The End of the Road: At the 46th Golden Horse Awards, none of the works of [Starlight Future] Company were shortlisted, and director Xiong Zhengqiang bombarded [Starlight Future] for arrears of wages! ] 】
["Thunder" won ten nominations, applauded, after the financial crisis, a shot in the arm in the film market? 】
["Song" was painted yesterday, [Starlight Future] lost 100 million, and took stock of the top ten bad movies of [Starlight Future] 09 since the beginning of the year! 】
【……】
October 21.
The company is empty.
Shareholder reorganization is naturally a mess, and even countless old cases have been turned over for rectification.
This rectification is naturally a pain in the bones.
The review of the audit of the artist studio, the tax of the back tax, and the termination of the contract......
Almost half of it is gone.
When all the "catastrophes" had passed, Xu Shengnan breathed a long sigh of relief.
She glanced at the news.
The momentum of the 46th Golden Horse Awards is very huge, and it has almost occupied the headlines of countless entertainment pages on the Internet.
After the financial crisis, capital did not dare to throw money as before, so the entire 08 years for almost half a year, the market was in a state of extreme sluggishness.
This malaise continued into the second half of '09......
At this juncture, the film market needs a film to shake the scene.
Thereupon......
"Thunder" came into being!
I have to say that [Shengshi Entertainment] is really lucky.
"Sister Katsunan! Why didn't Mr. Zheng fire director Liu Haodong? How bad is the "Song" he chose, it directly made our [Starlight Future] miserable and blew up the shareholders, why didn't he fire him? Our company has been preparing for him for two years, two years, how much money did we spend on this movie? How to shoot like this bird, a newcomer shoots better than him! ”
in the office.
Xu Shengnan's apprentice, Xiao Jiang looked at the content on the news page, and his lungs were about to explode.
If there was no big bad movie "Song", [Starlight Future] probably wouldn't have fallen into such a field as today!
This movie invested nearly 200 million yuan before and after, and then, when it was released after the 11th Golden Week, the box office was only tens of millions!
[Starlight Future] stock plummeted, in addition to the "accident" incident, the big bad movie "Song" is simply a great contribution!
"Xiao Jiang, this is not a question you should be concerned about, by the way, is the casting project of "Midsummer That Year" being prepared?"
"It's been prepared, but because of the recent turmoil, no one has invested in our films......"
"This film is wholly owned by our company, it doesn't matter, are there still a few brands that have contacted us before?"
"Not much...... Although some of the endorsements have not been terminated, everyone is waiting and seeing......"
"Oh."
"Sister Shengnan, I think, our [Starlight Future] is really crazy, I just got the news that Liu Haodong will not only not be fired, but can also direct the main theme movie "1949", what is going on with our [Starlight Future], is the top management already so chaotic? It's not good to say bad things about the leader behind his back, but I still think that Mr. Zheng is stupid in doing this! ”
"Xiao Jiang, Director Liu Haodong is very capable, it's not as simple as you think."
"Very capable, why do you make a bad movie like "Song"?"
"Xiao Jiang, why would a capable person take a bad movie like "Song"?"
"I don't know, I'm blind?"
"When you understand this truth, you don't have to go to the market and become an assistant."
“……”
in the office.
Xiao Jiang looked at Xu Shengnan blankly.
She didn't understand why.
But Xu Shengnan didn't say anything to her again, but waved his hand and asked her to leave.
After Xiao Jiang left, Xu Shengnan quietly watched the news on the computer screen.
In the news, although there are still some negative news about [Starlight Future], there are still many netizens on the Internet who are mocking the movie "Song".
But compared to the heat of the previous few days, it is not a star and a half.
The influence of this storm is gradually weakening, and by tomorrow, the [Starlight Future] on the Internet will be completely suppressed.
In this world, there is always a pair of hands that are controlling something.
Ordinary people can only see the appearance, although they can't understand why an actor often takes on bad movies, but he always has resources, and he can't understand that a director made a big bad movie that made the entire film and television industry laugh, but the company entrusted him with a heavy responsibility......
And some smart people can see deeper things through clues.
After Xu Shengnan finished reading, he turned off the computer.
The turmoil in the company did not affect her, but she was promoted, and she was promoted to become the head of artist brand services and part of the film business, which is a branch of Zheng Zong.
She wasn't surprised by the promotion......
The remaining and slightly capable employees are more or less entrusted with important tasks by the senior management of [Starlight Future].
When Xu Shengnan was busy with things and was about to take a break, she received a phone call.
The call was made by Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng did not explain his intention on the other end of the phone, but just asked some about the Golden Horse Awards.
Xu Shengnan couldn't figure out what Zhang Sheng was going to do, so he had to explain to Zhang Sheng how this year's Golden Horse Awards were going......
Zhang Sheng on the other end of the phone said "oh", as if he understood something.
Then, Zhang Sheng hung up the phone.
After Zhang Sheng hung up the phone, Xu Shengnan stared at the phone for a long time.
She claimed to be a smart person and knew that Zhang Sheng had done something, but Zhang Sheng's phone call made her puzzled.
It seems to be an ordinary phone call, but Xu Shengnan always feels that there is something hidden in Zhang Sheng's phone.
He seems to be weaving a web again......
And, vaguely, the web seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
Even Xu Shengnan didn't know if he was pulled into this net.
This kind of person has to cooperate, but also have to be vigilant!
Otherwise......
has been in the entertainment industry for so many years!
For the first time, Xu Shengnan came to such a conclusion in his heart!
…………………………
"We, are we really going to do that?"
"What do you think?"
"I feel like it's a scam, a hoax, late to the day when it will be exposed......"
"What happens when it's debunked?"
“……”
After Zhang Sheng finished talking to Xu Shengnan on the phone, he glanced at the news on the Internet again.
News, the negative content of [Starlight Future], every once in a while, will be much less.
It seems that [Starlight Future] is to rectify internal personnel and has begun to be guided by external public opinion.
Opposite the office, Chen Mengting looked at an English webpage and stopped talking......
The name of the webpage translates to "Southern California International Film Awards".
Although the IP is hung abroad, Chen Mengting knows that all the content on the website is made by several students from [NC Studio].
Although they all signed a confidentiality agreement, Chen Mengting felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw a foreigner in a suit and leather shoes smoking a pipe on the webpage, and a series of identities similar to [South American Film Judge], [Invited Guest of the Orcas Film Festival], and [International Film Investor] were introduced.
The foreigner with the pipe was named "Lacey", and like Tom, he was from Brazil, and was even a poor carpenter boy in the slums......
This photo of holding a pipe was taken more than 100 times by the staff of the photography department of [NC Studio], and only then did they select a satisfactory photo and put it on the Internet.
The more she learned the truth of some things, the more uncomfortable Chen Mengting felt.
She thinks they're scamming!
This is somewhat contrary to her original intention.
She looked at Zhang Sheng: "After being revealed, we will never recover, and our reputation will fall to the bottom forever!" ”
Chen Mengting said this sentence very seriously.
"No, no one will reveal!"
"In this world, there can be no impermeable walls." Chen Mengting looked at Zhang Sheng's self-confidence, and finally retorted.
She knew that Zhang Sheng was very powerful!
She knew that Zhang Sheng's future achievements would definitely be terrifying.
She knows that if she follows Zhang Sheng, she will not be too low in the future......
But......
I can't get over that hurdle in my heart.
Her rebuttal did not make Zhang Sheng angry, Zhang Sheng looked at her with a smile: "Even if it is exposed, it will not be influential!" ”
"What if, influential, and big? Zhang Sheng, have you ever considered whether this will have a great impact on our academy? ”
"It's more influential, it's better for us, it's a propaganda ......," Zhang Sheng's voice remained calm.
"Propaganda for what?"
"Senior sister, remember, we are not cheating, we are doing it down-to-earth, we are setting up the stage, I remember telling you before! Every link is the framework of the stage...... I never lie to anyone! ”
"Zhang Sheng, I ......"
"The deceitful side of this world is more complicated than you think, especially in the entertainment industry, if you even have a psychological burden on this, then it is difficult for you to cross the class! Senior sister, did you see the news? You see that in the entertainment news, there is only a simple line of description, and none of the movies in [Starlight Future] have been shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards...... To put it mildly, it's like an ordinary mocking piece of news...... But do you know what's behind this news? ”
"What's that?"
"Countless beasts are biting at the body of [Starlight Future], they are devouring its flesh, drinking its blood, even the bones, they are going to suck the juice clean, and then make a stool!"
“……”
Chen Mengting looked at Zhang Sheng in shock.
She had never seen Zhang Sheng show such a serious and terrifying expression.
Her sixth sense told her that Zhang Sheng didn't lie to her, and he didn't lie.
"Eighty percent of the wealth is in the hands of 20 percent of the people, I believe you have seen this sentence, I believe you have also heard of it, 20 percent of the accumulation of wealth is actually some dishonorable means, but you don't know one thing ......"
"What's the matter?"
"In the darkness, there are two hands that are distributing this wealth...... They distribute it this way because they think it makes sense? ”
Chen Mengting listened to Zhang Sheng's words, only to feel that the cold sweat behind her was getting stronger and stronger.
She subconsciously lowered her head: "Zhang Sheng, I ......"
"Senior sister! I study law very seriously, and I have never done anything about abduction and deception, and now we only do it within reasonable rules, using righteous and bright methods, and crossing classes......"
"Among the twenty percent?" Chen Mengting subconsciously looked at Zhang Sheng.
"......" Zhang Sheng smiled.
But don't answer.
"Do you want to do that......" Chen Mengting's pupils shrank, and she felt her heart pounding.
"Senior sister, I never said what I was going to do, but I promise you again, senior sister, senior sister, we will not break the law, we will not commit crimes, we are bright and bright, we are law-abiding citizens, and I will not lie to you!"
"......" Chen Mengting was silent for a long time, then nodded, inexplicably feeling that her head had exploded.
"Senior sister, help me make a batch of invitations......
"What invitation?"
"An invitation to the [Southern California International Film Awards]..."
