Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 187 Hesitation
Hong Kong
At the entrance of Emperor Entertainment Group, Ma Chucheng was blocked by a group of reporters.

"Excuse me, how does Director Ma plan to respond to the remarks made by mainland director Zhang Chen?"

"Zhang Chen said he was going to ban "Hancheng Raiders". How is Enlight Films going to respond?"

"I heard that the box office of "Hancheng Raiders" in mainland China was very poor. What do you want to say to the fans?"

Ma Chucheng was surrounded by a group of people with guns and cannons, and finally it was the people from Anle Film and Television who came to help him out.

In Jiang Zhiqiang's office, Ma Chucheng, whose clothes were torn into a mess, had a bitter look on his face.

"What do we do now?"

Jiang Zhiqiang's face was not much better, he looked gloomy: "Hancheng Raiders is over, the mainland Zhang Chen is unmoved, I protested to the theater chain, they just ignored me, when I asked them urgently, they said it was purely a commercial act."

Ma Chucheng: "Then what else can we do?"

Jiang Zhiqiang sighed: "Let's make peace."

……

Enlight Media
There was a knock on the office door, and then the secretary handed yesterday's data report to Wang Changtian.

Looking at the numbers on the table, Wang Changtian was delighted.

Won the fight~
Guangguang Media won its first publicity battle.

The box office success of "Han Cheng Strategy" was suppressed by them to less than one million per day, and he felt it necessary to take credit for it with Zhang Chen.

The call was made and it was connected shortly afterwards.

"Director Zhang, let me report our results to you. As of yesterday, the average daily screening of "Hancheng Raiders" did not exceed 5%, and the daily box office was less than 100 million..."

"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang. You played an indispensable role in winning this battle."

Guangxian’s ground promotion has indeed played an indispensable role in this.

Even if Zhang Chen greeted the cinema chain, it would be limited.

There are 36 cinema chains across the country.

Even if Gao Jun agreed to help him, there would be differences between close and distant relatives.

Those who cannot speak directly have to rely on Guangxian’s field sales team.

Yu Dong was also considering his own situation.

Xingchen Entertainment’s deliberate targeting of “Hancheng Guide” made Yu Dong see the crisis.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that "Hancheng Raiders" is finished, and the daily box office has become so low that it can be ignored.

According to normal logic, after finishing "Hancheng Guide", it will be the turn of "Peacock".

He hated Zhang Jingchu so much whenever he thought about it. This stupid woman, why did she want to drag down "Black 2" for no reason?
Show yourself?
The situation that could have been peaceful was ruined by her rant.

So Yu Dong must find a way to break the deadlock.

He is actually not afraid of falling out with Xingchen Entertainment. After all, Bona is a large private company with a huge size to match.

In terms of scale, it is second only to Huayi Brothers, and is inferior to Light Media and Star Entertainment.

In Yu Dong's opinion, the scale of Xingchen Entertainment is somewhat similar to that of New Picture, but it is stronger than New Picture.

Both companies are equivalent to the studios of billionaire directors, but Zhang Chen's output is higher than Zhang Yimou's.

This is also the reason why Yu Dong does not want to break up with Xingchen Entertainment.

If Zhang Chen is very productive and every one of his works is a big hit, it will be difficult to deal with him.

What if Xingchen Entertainment really holds a grudge? Every time a new Bona film is released, they will arrange a film to compete with you. That would be awesome.

So Yu Dong wanted to ease the relationship with Xingchen Entertainment.

For the sake of "Peacock", it's not worth it~
It's not some unresolved vengeance for the murder of one's father.

Peace talks are necessary, but who should be found to act as the mediator?

He had no friendship with Dong Jianqiang, and was only an acquaintance with Zhang Chen. There was no one important enough to bring them together to sit down and talk.

As he thought about it, he thought of someone...

……

China Film Group, Han Sanping also saw the related news.

After thinking for a while, he pressed the pager on the desk. After a while, the secretary knocked on the door and entered after receiving a positive response.

"Mr. Han..."

"Go check what's going on with Dark Invasion 2 and Hancheng Raiders. I want to know the whole story, without taking any stance."

"Okay, Mr. Han."

The secretary took the order and went to Korea.

Sanping rubbed his forehead. This Zhang Chen was really good at making trouble. He was causing trouble every day.

At this stage, it has only been a short time since we signed CEPA with Hong Kong, and we attach great importance to the relationship between the two sides.

It just so happened that the two incidents Zhang Chen caused were both related to that place.

Last time, Han Sanping warned Zhang Chen and he behaved himself for a while.

It's only been a short while, and they're making trouble again~
From a personal perspective, he definitely favors Zhang Chen.

But in his position, many things cannot be based on personal feelings.

While I was thinking about this, the phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Yu Dong.

Connected...

"Old leader, I'm here to ask for your help..."

When Han Sanping was transferred from Sichuan to Beijing, he initially worked as the deputy director of the Beijing Film Studio, and Yu Dong happened to be his subordinate at that time.

And he is a capable subordinate.

Later, China Film Group and Beijing Film Group merged, and Han Sanping joined China Film Group, but Yu Dong resigned and went into business, using only 30,000 yuan to establish Bona Film Group.

So there is nothing wrong with calling him old leader.

"what happened……"

Han Sanping knew that Yu Dong would never come to visit him for no reason, but after listening to Yu Dong's narration, Han Sanping became even more confused.

Didn't "Hancheng Raiders" and "Dark Invasion 2" mess with each other? How come "Peacock" got involved? "Old leader, I really have no choice. In fact, we have always been very restrained. It was Zhang Jingchu... She just did it on her own, but I don't know what Zhang Chen will think?"

Han Sanping really didn't want to get involved, but since he was his old leader, he couldn't just ignore it.

"What do you want?"

"I know you have a good relationship with him. Can you help mediate and make things clear?"

Han Sanping hesitated for a few seconds, "Wait for my call..."

Han Sanping did not agree immediately. He had to understand the whole story before making a decision.

If I can help Yu Dong with this matter, I will definitely help him, but if Yu Dong lies to him, that’s another matter.

The secretary acted quickly and soon found out the whole story.

In this way, I reported the work to Han Sanping.

"Okay, I understand, get out."

After sending the secretary away, Han Sanping was thinking about how to make peace between the two sides.

……

Zhang Chen just called Li Lianhua, but no one answered for a long time. He had no choice but to call his agent Li Xue.

This time, after a few rings, someone picked up.

"Director Zhang, the sun is rising in the west. Why did you think of calling me? What do you want me to do?"

As soon as the call was connected, Li Xue's enthusiastic voice came from the other side.

As expected of a Northeasterner.

Zhang Chen also laughed: "I just called Sister Binbin, but no one answered, so I had no choice but to call you."

"Oh, Binbin is currently attending a commercial show. I guess he doesn't have his phone with him. Director Zhang, if you have anything to say, please tell me and I'll pass it on to her later."

"Well, that's fine too. I have a female lead role that I'd like to invite Sister Binbin to play. I wonder if she has time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xue on the other end of the phone asked in surprise: "Director Zhang is going to start a new play?"

Zhang Chen corrected: "It's not me, it's our company, a comedy called "Crazy Stone"..."

Hearing that it was not Zhang Chen's film, the person on the other end seemed a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted his mood: "Oh, is that so? Then Director Zhang, can you send the script over first so we can take a look..."

"Of course, I'll send it to your email later."

"Okay, we'll give you a reply as soon as possible."

Li Xue hung up the phone and looked at Li Lianhua next to her: "Sister, it's just as you guessed."

It turned out that Li Lianhua was right next to them, and she deliberately ignored Zhang Chen's call.

Li Lianhua's face was full of worry: "What did Zhang Chen say?"

"He said it wasn't his work, but a comedy called Crazy Stone, which should be the one Ning Hao made..."

At this moment, the computer next to me suddenly made a "ding" sound, which was the notification sound of new email.

"Let's take a look at the script first..."

Li Xue opened her mailbox and found that the latest email was the script of "Stone" that Zhang Chen had just sent her.

The two sisters looked over the script quietly, and for a moment the only sound in the room was the rustling of the mouse wheels.

After a while, the two finished reading:

"Sister, the script is good."

"But the female lead has very few scenes. She is called the female lead, but in fact she is just a supporting role."

What Li Lianhua said was not wrong, and her sister Li Xue didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

"Sister, are you afraid of offending the Hong Kong community?"

Li Xue revealed her sister's thoughts, and Li Lianhua no longer concealed it: "Yes, we have finally caught up with the Hong Kong circle, and if we join this drama, we will definitely offend the Hong Kong circle.

If it was Zhang Chen's new film, I would have offended him, but the director of this movie called "Stone" is a newcomer, so I don't think it's worth it.

And I heard they wanted to invite King Liu, but he refused.”

Seeing her sister was still stubborn, Li Xue advised: "Sister, please don't be confused. King Liu refused because he is a Hong Konger and his base is in Hong Kong. You are from the mainland, and even if we go there as dogs, we won't get any good resources.

And as long as you refuse, no matter what interface you use, you will offend Zhang Chen.

It’s not easy for us to get in touch with the Hong Kong circle, but is it easy to get in touch with Zhang Chen?

Think about that vixen, how could she get on top of you? Wasn't it because she hooked up with Zhang Chen?"

Li Lianhua hesitated after hearing her sister's words.

Li Xue has been a top student since childhood and has a smart brain. It hasn't taken long for her to become the vice president of Huayi.

Am I really short-sighted?

Li Xue was even more anxious: "Sister, don't hesitate. While you are still hesitating, maybe Foxy is trying every means to snatch your role..."

A prophecy

While Li Lianhua was hesitating, Fan Jiuyi was indeed wielding a hoe to dig up the foundation.

"I heard that the heroine of that comedy film you praised so much was chosen to be Li Lianhua?"

In front of the dressing table, Fan Jiuyi looked at the man behind himself in the mirror and said.

The man was working, and he could only spare a small amount of energy to answer, "Yes."

Fan Jiuyi was a little unhappy and exerted force suddenly, causing Zhang Chen to gasp.

"Why don't you look for me?"

After adapting for a while, Zhang Chen regained his energy: "It's not my decision. Ning Hao is the director. He can invite whoever he wants."

"I don't believe it. Can't you be his master?"

Feeling a little tired, Zhang Chen decided to change his posture and hummed.

"You want to act? You have very few parts. You're called the heroine, but in fact you're just a supporting role. You should wait. I'll arrange a movie with a heroine for you in a while."

After hearing what Zhang Chen said, Sister Jiuyi was finally satisfied, and the female Bodhisattva worked even harder to give alms.

She didn't have to play this role, she just didn't want to give other female stars the opportunity to get close to Zhang Chen.
