Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 245: Survival with Broken Arm
The interview was still going on when there was another urgent knock on the door. Without waiting for the person inside to respond, Li Kaiyu hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Found it~"

There is no need for an object, everyone knows what he found.

Li Kaiyu put the computer on the table, and the two of them moved over consciously.

"I traced the source and found that these accounts were the ones that initially led this topic. Then I asked all the water army teams in the circle and finally found it."

"Who is it?" Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang asked in unison.

"Orange Sky!"

Hearing this name, Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang looked at each other. They had thought of many candidates before, including Lu Chuan, Huayi, Bona, those Hong Kong forces, and another one was Orange Sky.

I didn’t expect that Wu Kebo was such a vengeful person.

But Li Kaiyu hadn't finished his words yet: "It was indeed Orange Sky that started it at the beginning, but later on more people got involved. According to my investigation, at least Huayi and New Picture helped fuel the flames, and there may be other companies as well..."

These words immediately made the office quiet.

They have become the target of public criticism.

No wonder.

Although Xingchen Entertainment always deliberately pulls others together to make money and never eats alone, its development is still too fast.

The first film’s box office of 6000 million has already made many film and television companies jealous, and the second film directly exceeded million.

You know, the annual profits of many old companies may not be as good as the profits of two movies produced by Star Entertainment.

But Xingchen Entertainment is still a newly established small company.

Zhang Chen was too strong and rose quickly like a comet, making many film and television companies feel threatened.

They usually don't say it, but they are definitely wary.

One new picture in the circle is enough, no one wants a second one to appear.

The total box office revenue for a year is limited. If every one of your movies makes over 100 million yuan, what will we do?
Therefore, when such a rare opportunity comes, everyone will definitely join in.

This is probably what Huayi is thinking, otherwise it cannot be explained. The two parties have clearly cooperated in "Taken", so why would they do this?
Zhang Chen put himself in Huayi’s shoes and thought that if he were Huayi, he would probably not miss such a rare opportunity.

Damn it, I am the boss of a private film and television company. Your Star Entertainment is small and shabby, but you make a lot of money from every movie. What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?
"What should we do?" Dong Jianqiang frowned.

The enemy is not one person, but a group of people, which makes it a bit difficult.

If you retaliate against one person, the other participants will feel that you will definitely retaliate against him, which makes it easy for them to form an alliance.

By then, Xingchen Entertainment will be completely isolated.

It’s like in the new scene, Zhang Chen will become the second Zhang Yimou and be blackened by the entire Internet.

"'Manslaughter' is offline!"

"what?"

"I said that 'The Accidental Murderer' should be taken offline immediately. We can't let this matter continue to ferment."

In fact, Zhang Chen is not afraid of being isolated or being blackened by the entire network. It is the production company that is targeting him, not the cinema. Can they still ban him?
What he was really afraid of was offending the Film Bureau.

As a film and television company, you want to get involved in film censorship?
Zhang Chen was afraid of being accused of this, and he also didn't want to leave such an impression on the authorities.

So even if it means giving up our own interests, we must end this matter.

The best way to end this matter is to take "The Accidental Murderer" offline. Now that the source has disappeared, you won't continue discussing it, right?

It's none of my business to continue the discussion.

"Can……"

Dong Jianqiang was a little reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. Zhang Chen was very powerful and was now trying to survive by cutting off his arm.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll contact China Film Group right away."

Now that you have decided to cut off your arm, cut the Gordian knot.

The sooner you split, the safer it is.

Xingchen Entertainment was very determined, and the next day "The Accidental Murderer" was removed from all cinemas.

Many tickets for the next day have actually been pre-sold, but it doesn’t matter, Xingchen Entertainment will pay double the compensation.

The industry was surprised that Star Entertainment moved so quickly, because that was money.

In their opinion, the box office of "The Accidental Murderer" has already reached 1.27 million yuan, and if it can hold on for another week, it will have no problem reaching 1.4 million yuan, or even 1.5 million yuan. But Xingchen Entertainment said it would be taken offline.

……

In Han Sanping's office, after listening to his subordinates' reports, Han Sanping sent them out and then secretly smiled.

"Not bad, quite decisive~"

The Third Master admired Zhang Chen very much. His attitude towards Zhang Chen was somewhat similar to that towards Ning Hao in history, except that he relied on him more.

Zhang Chen has a unique vision and can often create miracles in movies, but the key is that he does not have the stubbornness of the older generation of directors.

The older generation of directors generally love art films, believing that they are the real movies, and they look down on commercial films.

There's no way. They grew up under the influence of European movies and it's difficult for them to change.

But Han Sanping sees very clearly that Chinese films must be commercialized. Only commercialization can leave the seeds of hope. Otherwise, they will be conquered by Hollywood like European films and will be powerless to fight back.

Zhang Chen's appearance is very timely and can bring him brilliant political achievements.

The significance of his existence is like that of Huo Qubing to Emperor Wu of Han.

What's more, Zhang Chen can make money, and he is willing to take him to make money together.

As a result, he, as the deputy, not only has good political achievements and good performance within China Film Group, but also has great say.

Even though they are a state-owned enterprise, performance is also a very important indicator. With Zhang Chen, it is almost certain that he will take over as the top leader.

So, Zhang Chen is his lucky general.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Chen would be affected this time, but Zhang Chen clearly realized the seriousness of the matter and gave up his own interests and cut off his arm to survive, which made him look up to him even more.

He was just short of saying "If I had a son, I would hope he would be like Sun Zhongmou."

……

According to the theory of relativity, if someone is happy, someone else must be unhappy.

Wu Kebo is very unhappy now.

Li Kaiyu was right in his investigation; it was indeed he who was responsible for this incident.

At first he wanted to join forces with Zhang Weiping, but he didn't expect Zhang Weiping to ignore him.

It’s not that Zhang Weiping ignored him, but that Zhang Weiping simply looked down on him.

Although I am a bastard, I also look down on compradors~
This hurt Wu Kebo a lot.

But we must deal with Zhang Chen, the opportunity is too rare.

What he didn't expect was that after he took the lead, many people followed suit spontaneously.

Although he didn't know who those people were, it was obvious that he was not fighting alone.

……

Huayi Brothers, inside the office of the president
"Brother, you said Zhang Chen was really willing to give it up. It's at least more than 10 million yuan. He just said he didn't want it..."

"What do you know? This is how we do big things. To be honest, I regret it now. If we had known he was so cruel, we shouldn't have made enemies so easily."

"What are you afraid of? It's not like they're our family."

……

Taihe People
Feng Xiaogang was also talking about this matter with Zhang Guoli.

"Don't you admire your little brother very much? Why didn't you remind him about this?"

Zhang Guoli had a vague idea of ​​what his old friend was thinking, but he still wanted to hear him admit it in person.

Feng Xiaogang sighed: "Zhang Chen is indeed a good guy, but he is indeed a threat to me."

There is no need to explain everything, Zhang Guoli understands everything.

Zhang Chen suddenly appeared, and in just a year and a half, he has already made two movies that grossed over 100 million yuan. In terms of popularity, only Zhang Yimou can compete with him.

Even Feng Xiaogang can't compare to him.

Although Zhang Chen’s total box office has not yet surpassed Feng Xiaogang, judging from the current momentum, it is only a matter of time.

Although Feng Xiaogang felt a little guilty, he felt that he had done nothing wrong.
