Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 249 How to take revenge
The recording of "Dialogue" has ended, and Zhang Chen is quite satisfied with his performance throughout the process.

The expert tried to set a trap several times, but Zhang Chen handled it well.

He is here today mainly to express his views. Neither I nor Star Entertainment are the vanguards against the "film censorship system". Although we do not accept censorship 100%, we can understand it.

This is enough.

His purpose of participating in "Dialogue" is to express his attitude and prevent those internet trolls from leading the trend anymore.

Dong Jianqiang had been waiting for him in the car. When he saw him come back, he immediately asked, "How is it?"

"is acceptable."

"They didn't arrange experts to dig a hole for you?"

"Of course it is arranged."

"You didn't say anything inappropriate?"

"How could that be? I'm not stupid. You'll know after the show airs. The effect should be pretty good."

"That's good."

Seeing Zhang Chen full of confidence, Dong Jianqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhang Chen didn't make trouble, this matter should be over soon.

The car started and drove towards the company.

"By the way, when will this show be aired?"

"Usually nine o'clock on Sunday night."

"Okay, I'll write a blog to promote it."

"Yes, yes, you reminded me. It's very necessary. I'll arrange for someone to promote it. By the way, your uncle just called you. Please call him back. I told him that you will finish recording soon. I didn't expect that you spent the whole morning recording the show..."

Zhang Chen said "hmm". Even if it was a talk show, it was still a show and there would be occasional hiccups in the middle.

When he participated in the show before, his mobile phone was placed with Dong Jianqiang, and the uncle he mentioned was Zhang Chen's father.

Zhang Chen took the phone and found that it was indeed a call from his father. He called back and the call was connected in a few seconds:

"Dad, you looked for me?"

……

Coal Province, Tianyi Palace Private Room

Mr. Zhang is having a party with some old friends.

He is a celebrity now, and his son is a well-known director. He is well-known both at work and at home. People often try to get in touch with him, but Zhang's father does not easily chat with people he is not familiar with.

He has his own fixed circle, which is basically made up of bosses he knew before. Many of them have requests for help from him, after all, he is in charge of the trains.

"Lao Zhang, how is the information you asked me to find out going?"

After three rounds of drinks, someone couldn't help but ask.

Everyone present here is from the same circle, the coal bosses. Now is a time when they have a lot of money. Some of them choose to go to Beijing in groups to buy properties, while others have set their sights on the entertainment industry.

"I've asked my boy about it. We're old friends now. I won't lie to you. I'll tell you the truth."

"Of course, we are one of us."

“My kid’s original words, investing in movies is fine, but it’s not a good project.

In his speech at Beijing Film Academy, he said that coal bosses are all good investors, and that was for Beijing Film Academy students.

But the risks of movies are huge, not every movie can make money, so he doesn’t recommend investing in movies. Besides, it’s a very complicated business, and if the insiders cheat you, you won’t be able to do anything about it.”

Several people looked at each other. In fact, they had thought about this problem themselves and came to similar conclusions.

If you rashly enter an industry you don't understand, you will definitely have to pay tuition fees, but you might not learn anything after paying the tuition fees.

"What about our nephew's movie? Can we brothers get involved?"

Zhang's father shook his head. "I'm afraid that won't work. He has fixed partners, big companies, cinemas and so on. We can't get in at all because we don't have any resources other than money. We can't help the movie. And the thing that his movies lack the least is money..."

"Can't you even speak as an old man?" Someone was a little dissatisfied.

Zhang's father's attitude was firm: "I don't want to make things difficult for my child. It's not easy for my child to make it alone outside. I can't help, but I can't make things worse either."

"What Old Zhang said is right. It must not be easy for the Zhang family's kids to work hard out there. We can't cause trouble for them." Someone noticed Zhang's father's unhappiness and immediately agreed.

The man noticed it and apologized immediately: "Lao Zhang, that's not what I meant. I just don't hold back my words. Don't take it to heart."

Father Zhang waved his hand: "Not really. We are all friends if we can sit together to eat. I know what kind of people you are. If you are that kind of person, we can't play together..."

Everyone agreed, and another person said, "Then what should we do? Either we follow Lao Li's example and dive in headfirst. At worst, we can just pay the tuition. Or we follow Zhao Laoer and the others and go to Beijing to speculate in real estate..."

At this time, many coal bosses followed the example of the Wenzhou real estate speculation group and joined forces.

However, they do not buy the entire building or the entire community, but by floor or unit, buying a floor or an entire unit at a time.

Everyone was talking at once. Father Zhang saw that everyone had said almost everything, so he said, "Don't worry, my kid has another idea..."

"Want to hear the details~"

"Hey, Lao Zhao, you've become more educated now, and you can even say, 'I'd like to hear more about this'..."

"Haha, no, no, I just watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms again recently..."

Father Zhang had dealt with this group of people many times and knew how to chat with them. After making a few jokes, he got down to business: "My kid said that cinemas are a good business now and we can do it."

"Cinema chain? Opening a movie theater?"

"Yes, he said that the film industry is developing rapidly now, and cinemas are essential infrastructure. It is a stable and profitable project. It can pay back the investment in two years, and the rest is pure profit..." "Then why doesn't our nephew do it?"

"Because he can make more money by investing in his own movies than running a cinema chain. But he gave me some money. If you are willing, we can do it together..."

When Mr. Zhang said this, those people were immediately interested.

If Zhang Chen had just said that, they would probably have to think about it, but now that Zhang's father said he would do it himself, there was nothing to consider. Zhang Chen couldn't even lie to his own father.

Don't think too highly of the coal bosses and think that they are easy prey when they are cheated.

In fact, there are not many good people, they are all cunning.

"Brothers, I think I'm capable. What do you think?" The person who spoke was a guy who was more important among these people. His mine had the highest annual output and he was the richest, so he had the most say among these people.

"Okay, count me in..."

"Count me in too..."

"My brothers are all here, how can I be left out?"

"So where should we open a cinema? Beijing? Or Shanghai?"

"No, my kid said that movie theaters need to have good relations with the locals, otherwise they can't be opened. So we should open it where we can make the most money, and try to find a prosperous commercial area..."

"Okay, I happen to know the boss of Guidu, so I'll open a shop in Guidu Plaza..." The speaker was a guy from Xishan Coal Mine.

The others also nodded, they understood exactly what Mr. Zhang said.

It's the same as coal mines. If you don't have some power in the local area, you won't be able to keep it even if you can take over the coal mine.

What does the infamous mining protection team do?
At this moment, buzz buzz buzz, Zhang's father's phone vibrated~
Someone was sharp-eyed and saw the name on the caller ID, and quickly reminded: "Lao Zhang, it's our son calling, please answer it quickly~"

Zhang's father happily answered the call, and Zhang Chen's voice came from the other end: "Dad, you called me?"

"Well, I heard from Xiao Dong that you went to record a program. What program?" Father Zhang didn't talk about business, but instead asked about his son.

"Well, I went to CCTV to record a program called "Dialogue"."

"CCTV? 'Dialogue'? You've been on CCTV?"

"It's not CCTV-1, it's CCTV-2, the economic channel..."

"That's also CCTV. When will it be broadcast?"

"You and my mom can watch it at nine o'clock on Sunday night, and then we can go out and brag about it..."

After chatting for a while, Zhang's father finally got down to business: "I'm with your uncles right now, talking about opening a movie theater. Give me a definite answer, is it reliable?"

"It's reliable. How can it not be reliable? It's definitely a sunrise industry. It will be very profitable in at least the next ten years. Moreover, it's an industry that can be passed down to future generations..."

"Well, I'll use the money you gave me to work with your uncles..."

"Go ahead, this is why you came to me?"

"That's not the case. I have a friend whose child wants to go to Beijing Film Academy this year. You should be able to talk to your school, right?"

Zhang Chen thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible. What department did she apply to and what is her name? Please send it to me later and I will ask..."

Even though Zhang Chen is only a senior in college, he is the pride of Beijing Film Academy.

Although Zhang Yimou, Chen Shishi and others also graduated from Beijing Film Academy, they have already graduated after all.

Zhang Chen was still a student but was able to achieve such success. This was the achievement of the entire leadership team of Beijing Film Academy and something they could brag about for the rest of their lives.

It's no big deal to give a student a backdoor.

When the call was hung up, Zhang Chen had already returned to the company, but everyone on Zhang's father's side became even more enthusiastic.

They were all listening! The kid from the Zhang family was on CCTV.

And the last sentence is, this is a career that can be passed on to future generations.

Damn it, what is there to hesitate about?

Dry!
Must do!

Inside Xingchen Entertainment
In the conference room, a group of senior executives from Xingchen Entertainment gathered for a meeting.

Li Kaiyu, who received the notice last, came in with a notebook. Seeing that all the big guys were already in place, he nodded embarrassedly and sat down at the end.

Zhang Chen, who was sitting in the first seat, took a quick look and said, "Almost everyone has arrived. Let's get started. Let's talk about the progress of Stone first~"

Chen Xi is the producer of Stone. Upon hearing this, he replied, "The editing of Stone has been completed. Director Ning is currently working on the post-production. It is expected to be completed in the next two days."

“How do you feel about the quality?”

"It's very good. It's a type of comedy that has never appeared in China. I am very confident."

Zhang Chen nodded, "Can we see the finished film next week?"

"no problem."

"Okay, contact the representatives of each theater chain. We will hold a film screening next week and discuss the release date~"

Generally, movies will hold a screening first and decide the release date based on the response of the screening.

But "Stone" is just the opposite. Zhang Chen had previously boasted that "Stone" will be released in the summer and everyone is welcome to come and challenge it.

But no matter what, film screenings still have to be held, and theater representatives must have a clear idea of ​​the quality of the finished films so that they can decide their own screening schedules.

The summer season also has its own rules. July and August belong to the summer season, with all kinds of blockbusters gathering, including many Hollywood blockbusters. How to choose is something that theaters need to consider.
