Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 395 It’s important to follow the right boss

Baidu Post Bar, Zhang Chen Bar
Zhang Chen fans' gathering place
A post suddenly appeared silently and was immediately pinned to the top.

The post was posted by the forum owner 'Qingcheng Wuji':
Friends, have you all read today's news? It's time for us to go out and kill those brainless fans and protect Zhang Chen's reputation~
Get rid of those brainless fans and protect Zhang Chen's reputation~

The post quickly received responses from a large number of bar friends. After seeing the news in the morning, they knew that there would definitely be activities in the bar.

really……

Those who often hang out in the bar are Zhang Chen’s most loyal fans. Those who like a big shot like Zhang Chen are not easy to deal with and have a strong will to fight.

Soon, Zhang Chen’s fans fought each other on all major forums.

Sina blog
[I am really disappointed with Zhang Chen. So many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are against him. It must be his fault~]

This is the most popular post, with a lot of people expressing their agreement below.

Suddenly, a netizen with the ID 'I am your uncle' left a message:

[Fuck you, you lick dog, you believe whatever your Hong Kong dad says, you brain-dead dog~]

Not all of the forum friends are of high quality. Many of them believe in magic attacks and start to attack right away. If you want to be reasonable, I'm sorry, I'm not reasonable.

Similarly, a netizen with the ID 'Rainy Night Carrying a Knife but No Umbrella' posted a post:
[Collection of indecent photos of all Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, please download]

Quickly, the number of downloads increased greatly, and many curious netizens downloaded it secretly.

But when they finished unzipping and opened it, they were dumbfounded.

There isn't a single indecent photo, but there are a lot of photos of celebrities.

The photos also include some negative information about the star: this one slept with Zeng Zhiwei, and that one is Wu Yusen's running dog~
A lot of people left curse messages, and somewhere, a man named Yao snickered, saying that it was good enough that I didn't show you the Calabash Brothers.

Of course, not all bar friends do not play by the rules.

It is more civilized under the banyan tree. Someone posted:
[Those who criticize Zhang Chen, please read this. I will analyze one by one for you why the Academy Awards are a hopeless case.]

This is how cultured people are polite when they quarrel.

As soon as the post appeared, it attracted great attention, the number of clicks soared, and there was an intense quarrel within the post, with curse words flying everywhere, and it was soon drowned out by a large number of greetings.

Well, intellectuals will also curse when they are pushed into a corner.

In addition to Zhang Chen's bar, the situation in the "Taken" bar is similar.

Although they scold Zhang Chen every day for not doing his job properly and delaying the filming of "Hurricane 2", they still have a relatively high recognition of Zhang Chen himself.

What's more, you bunch of dogs actually dared to criticize the male lead of "Hurricane". On behalf of "Hurricane", we will shoot you all.

Another thing I want to speak up for "The Hurricane"'s martial arts director Rui An. "The Hurricane" didn't even win the Best Action Choreography Award. Are the judges of the Academy Awards collectively blind?

The members of the "Hurricane" forum traveled all over the place, opened up battlefields everywhere, and vented their anger. Occasionally, when they met the bar friend Zhang Chen who was good at arguing with others, they would lend a helping hand.

The two brothers stood back to back to resist the malice coming from all sides.

Well, let the storm come even harder~
……

The Peak, Hong Kong

In Stephen Chow's mansion, Zhang Chen's voice was everywhere. It was a report about Zhang Chen being broadcast on TV.

[At the 21st Annual Awards, "Shaolin Soccer" won the Best Actor award. He must have thought that the judges finally accepted his nonsensical style.

But not.

The award presenter at the time, Ms. Zhang Minyi, actually revealed the truth when she presented the award. She said to Stephen Chow at the time, "I am very happy to present this award to you because you make many Hong Kong people laugh even when they are unhappy..."

Stephen Chow once again recalled that award ceremony, which should have been his highlight moment, but turned out to be his darkest time.

But he didn't hate Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen just stated the fact.

The Academy Awards really don't think highly of him.

In fact, what made him most sad was not the "Kung Fu Soccer" incident, but the 92 "Justice, My Foot".

There were not many decent art films in Hong Kong that year, and many people predicted that Stephen Chow would definitely be the best actor of the year, and he himself thought so too.

However, the final result was that Liang Jiahui won the Best Actor award for "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose". The key point is that the film itself is also nonsensical in style.

Liang Jiahui also became the only person in Hong Kong film history to defeat Stephen Chow in the field of comedy.

It can be seen how much the Academy Awards dislike Stephen Chow.

From then on, he actually realized the prejudice of the Academy Awards towards him, or rather, the deep malice.

Even Liang Jiahui was quite frightened about this matter.

What a joke! In the field of comedy, he defeated Stephen Chow with his nonsensical style, but he still thinks this actor is a lousy actor.

So later when Liang Jiahui was interviewed, he specifically said, I can play many different types of roles well, but Stephen Chow can bring a bad movie to life.

He can make the audience focus only on him and ignore the quality of a film.

This is already a very high evaluation, and it comes from an award-winning actor.

From then on, the proverb "one best actor every year, one Stephen Chow every century" was born.

……

Liang Jiahui's home

The reporters who came in were all stopped outside by the property security guards. "Sorry, Mr. Liang Jiahui is not at home. Please go back."

"You're lying. We know he's at home. Cheng Long just went in~"

Inside the house, by the window, Liang Jiahui helplessly lowered a corner of the curtain, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't come, they would have believed it~"

Cheng Long touched his big nose and smiled embarrassedly: "Okay, blame me, blame me, don't be angry, didn't you see that I brought some wine here? Let's have a drink..."

As Cheng Long spoke, he opened the glass and filled a glass for himself and Liang Jiahui respectively.

"I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday. I was busy and didn't attend the dinner. Otherwise, I would never let you be bullied by those losers. This cup is my apology..."

Cheng Long drank it all in one gulp. Liang Jiahui glared at him and followed suit: "It has nothing to do with you. Those guys couldn't beat Zhang Chen, so they had to take it out on me. Whether you were there or not, the result wouldn't have changed..."

He actually knew very well in his heart that those guys just bullied the weak and feared the strong.

He wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Chen but didn't dare to, so he picked on him as a weak target.

"To put it bluntly, it's because I'm too weak. If I had your influence, they probably wouldn't dare to take it out on me..."

Cheng Long comforted: "Don't be discouraged, you will soon gain popularity. Taken is selling well all over the world. It's not even out of theaters in some places yet. How about I take you there for a walk and let you know how popular you are now~"

Cheng Long's deliberate flattery finally brought a smile to Liang Jiahui's face.

"What are you going to do next?"

"What should we do? We should continue to cooperate with the mainland. I will try to make a name for myself and make them think twice before dealing with me in the future..."

"Zhang Chen booked a new movie with you?"

Liang Jiahui shook his head: "Not really, he just said that there will definitely be a sequel to Hurricane, but he's not sure when it will be made."

"I envy you~, you already have a series of movies."

"Don't come on, you have more series of movies. Didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to film a third movie of Rush Hour?"

Cheng Long waved his hand: "We are still discussing, nothing has been decided yet~"

……

In Yinchuan, shortly after the plane landed, Zhang Chen got on the car sent by the crew to pick them up.

"Aren't you afraid that talking about them like this will affect the box office of your movie in Hong Kong in the future?" Mr. Zhou asked worriedly.

There was only one driver in the car besides the two of them, and the driver was a smart man. He looked straight ahead and didn't even dare to look at the rearview mirror.

Master Zhou became bolder and drew circles on Zhang Chen's body with his little hands.

Zhang Chen felt the softness on his hand and curled his lips indifferently: "Don't worry, they don't have that much power. Stars are stars, and audiences are audiences. Those jumping clowns don't have that much influence."

He didn't tell anyone about the acquisition of Golden Harvest, and said he would talk about it after the dust settled.

The group returned to the crew, who were filming, and Cheng Er was the cameraman.

"Ka~ Director Zhang, you guys are back~"

Cheng Er noticed that Zhang Chen immediately called out "Cut". Zhang Chen nodded and waved his hand: "Don't disturb the filming. You guys continue. I'll watch from the side for a while."

The crew returned to filming, and Zhang Chen watched Cheng Er shoot a few shots with his own eyes, and there were no problems with anything.

After filming another scene, Cheng Er asked again, "Director Zhang, do you want to reshoot Brother Xun's scene?"

Zhang Chen shook his head again: "The shooting plan has been completed, so there is no need to adjust it. Let's start tomorrow and reshoot Brother Xun's scenes tomorrow."

……

Two days later, the crew members also received the news one after another. During lunch break, Yuan Heping found Zhang Chen and said, "Director Zhang, you have caused quite a stir in Hong Kong~"

Zhang Chen replied while eating: "Why, they found you?"

Yuan Heping smiled bitterly and said nothing, but his brother Yuan Xiangren said: "Yes, someone called my brother and asked him to take sides~"

Zhang Chen shrugged: "What does Master Ba think?"

Yuan Heping took the lunch box handed to him and simply sat down to eat: "What should I think about? I am filming my movie. What does the mess in Hong Kong have to do with me?"

He came here today specifically to sell good things and to express his attitude.

Director, look, I am on your side. Please take care of me in the future.
Zhang Chen laughed: "Master Ba, you will definitely be proud of this decision today."

"Haha, thanks Director Zhang for the good words~"

……

At Xingchen Entertainment, a group of reporters were blocking the door, but were stopped by the security guards and not allowed to enter.

After a while, Lu Yang came out lazily.

"Director Lu, please let us in. We can interview Manager Dong for a few words, or President Chen Xi~"

Lu Yang bowed and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Manager Dong and President Chen Xi are both busy and can't spare the time for an interview. They asked me to tell all media friends that Director Zhang Chen's attitude is the attitude of Xingchen Entertainment..."

When the reporters saw this, they all looked disappointed.

Seeing that they could not get the interview qualification, some people turned around and wanted to leave, but someone cleverly stopped Lu Yang and said, "Director Lu, the two CEOs don't have time to be interviewed, so can you say a few words?"

Since it is impossible to interview the senior management of Xingchen Entertainment, it would be a good idea to interview the new and popular directors.

The others reacted immediately and took out their cameras again. There was a surge of people and the security guards were almost overwhelmed.

"Don't push, don't push~"

Seeing that the security guards were unable to stop the situation, Lu Yang rushed to stabilize the situation.

After his call, the crowd really quieted down.

"Director Lu, is Xingchen Entertainment really not afraid of being banned by the Hong Kong film industry?"

The media are the kind of people who believe everything they hear. The Academy Awards simply listed Zhang Chen as an "undesirable person", but after a few days, they had already turned it into a ban.

Lu Yang sneered: "Don't flatter them, okay? The Hong Kong Film Awards cannot represent the Hong Kong film industry."

Click, click~
The flashes were on and the reporters were excited, but just this sentence made today worth it.

"Then may I ask where Xingchen Entertainment's confidence comes from?"

"Where? Of course it's in our movie box office. Do you think the Hong Kong box office record of Taken is fake?

"Kowloon Walled City" also took more than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong. The movies produced by our Star Entertainment alone account for more than half of the box office. What can they use to ban us? Will Hong Kong citizens stop watching movies because of them?"

Lu Yang spoke with pride, he was feeling very inflated now.

The first work of a newcomer grossed 6000 million in the mainland and 3000 million in Hong Kong. Which newcomer is as powerful as him?

After a pause, he continued: “Those Hong Kong stars who have taken sides cannot represent the citizens of Hong Kong, nor can they represent the Hong Kong film industry.

In fact, I understand their behavior very well. It's just that their mentality is unbalanced.

In the past, Hong Kong films were the best in Asia, Hong Kong filmmakers were at the top, and mainland China was just a nobody.

In the past two years, mainland films have gradually risen, but the Hong Kong model is no longer effective.

Seeing that mainland movies have been breaking the 5000 million mark one after another, while Hong Kong movies are struggling to even break million, they are getting anxious.

They are afraid of the rise of the mainland, but are powerless to stop it, so they do all kinds of things.

I was researching Hong Kong movies a while ago and found a scene like this that fits their current mentality very well.”

"Oh, what is it?" the reporters were full of curiosity.

"There was an episode in Young and Dangerous where the gang held an auction and Lee Siu Kee hosted the event and sang The East is Red with a bunch of bigwigs.

When some people started to make a fuss, he still argued, "Don't shout, 1997 is almost here. If you believe me, just bring a statue of Mao home and worship it morning and evening. This way, the government won't arrest you."

I can't remember the exact details, but that's roughly what it meant.

It talks about the confusion of Hong Kong people about the return, and the various emotions such as fear and anger derived from that confusion.

The situation in the Hong Kong film industry is similar now. They know that Hong Kong films are declining, and they also know that the mainland will rise, but they cannot stop it. They cannot accept the loss of falling from the altar, so they do all kinds of things.

Okay, okay, I've said enough, let's go away now."

After Lu Yang finished speaking, the reporters felt that he had learned a lot.

I have the materials for the past few days, so today’s trip was not in vain.

Zhang Chen is truly a friend of the media. Even when he is not around, his people can provide really good news materials.

The reporters wanted Lu Yang to say something else, but Lu Yang refused and asked them to leave quickly.

After the reporters left, Guo Fan dared to ask secretly: "Aren't you afraid of offending the Hong Kong circle by saying this?"

Lu Yang spat:
"What are you afraid of?
In the film industry, the most important thing is to follow the right boss.

Our boss is Zhang Chen.

Whoever the boss criticizes, we will criticize him too, there is no doubt about it.

Don't blame me for not reminding you. You must think clearly about your position. To paraphrase a line from a Hong Kong movie, being a traitor will not end well. "

Guo Fan was shocked and immediately said, "Of course I stand firmly on Director Zhang's side."

Lu Yang was very satisfied with his follower's attitude, but he immediately remembered something: "Did you come out to see me?"

"Yes."

"what's up?"

"Fans of The Hurricane called and asked when the sister film would start filming and how far the preparations had progressed.

They said if you keep dragging your feet, they’ll send razor blades to your home. A friend said he’s already found out your address, which is #######~”

"Fuck, this is my home, let's go, let's go~"

"What are you going for?"

"Please help me appease them, otherwise, they will really send razor blades."

……

The Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong

In the room, Lu Zheng looked at Jing Tian who had a stubborn face and didn't know what to do.

"How can I say good things about you? Who told you to make such a casual statement? I was discussing investment and the female lead with Chen Kexin, but you publicly expressed your support for Zhang Chen and Liang Jiahui. You've offended these Hong Kong people. Your female lead is probably going to fail~"

"Let it go. It was those Hong Kong people who were causing the trouble. What right do they have to blame Tony? Tony also taught me about acting. They have to take sides, right? Then I will stand with Tony. If Zhang Chen can stand, so can I..."

Lu Zheng had a constipated expression on his face: "My dear aunt, what about the role? If you express your opinion like this, Chen Kexin will definitely not dare to use you as the heroine again..."

"Then let's change the play. At worst, I can go back and continue to act in Zhang Chen's play~"

"Do you think Zhang Chen's play is easy to get and you can act it whenever you want? There are so many people watching it now, why should it be your turn?"

Jing Tian rolled her eyes and said, "At worst, I can let him be my boyfriend. Then it will be my turn sooner or later~"

Lu Zheng just felt a headache: "Aunt, please forgive me. If your father knew you did this, he would definitely beat me to death."

……

In the crew of "Painted Skin", Zhang Chen is calling the members of the Huala Gang one by one.

"Wen, my new movie "Hold Your Breath" has been completed, and I invite you to watch it in advance..."

"Great, then I can watch the movie for free."

"Haha, it's not a waste of time. If you think the quality of the movie is good, please help praise it in front of the media. Of course, if the quality is average, just ignore what I said. I won't force you to do anything."

"No problem, but let me make it clear, if I really don't like it, I really won't help you promote it."

"It's a deal. Please notify Lei and Darren, and I'll notify the others."

"OK."

After ending the call with Wen, he called Rob Zombie, Tobe Hooper and Alexander Aja separately and said the same thing.

These foreigners are actually not as rigid as one might imagine, and they also know why Zhang Chen is looking for them.

The purpose of a circle is to help each other, you help me and I help you. Otherwise, what is the point of a circle?
But Zhang Chen still chose to make it clear in advance. Movie directors are a group of people with strong personalities, and he didn't want to cause conflicts because of these things.

……

I have read all the opinions you raised the past two days, about the business department, about a routine, about Jing Tian, ​​the strength is limited, let's change it slowly
