Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 465 The great powers are actually myself?
Along the way, the two chatted about Hollywood.

Chen Xiaowei came back from the Bald Eagle.

She had already started a family in Bald Eagle, but was attracted by Zhang Chaoyang and decided to return to China to start a business.

Unfortunately, I didn’t stay at Sohu. Later, I went to China.com, and then to The9.com, and so on…

"Finally it's Shia LaBeouf, Jake Gyllenhaal and Don Cheadle..."

The two chatted a lot, including talking about Kung Fu movies, and it was obvious that Chen Xiaowei admired Jacky Cheung and Emperor Li very much.

Zhang Chen also admired Cheng Long very much. He had been fighting for his life and relied on his hard work to become a name card of China.

For a long time, he has been present in China's cultural exports.

Cheng Long has made some minor mistakes in his life, but no major ones.

As for Emperor Li, I will not comment on him. Those who understand will understand, so as to avoid being censored again.

Chapter 463, I can’t even tell a joke, I can only say that celebrities are celebrities.

Speaking of this aspect, it is Zou Zhaolong who stands out.

In an interview, he publicly stated that it doesn't matter if he plays a villain in China because we are all Chinese, but he will never play a villain abroad because he cannot destroy the good image that the Chinese nation has established abroad.

It is said that he has rejected countless Hollywood film offers because the roles assigned to him in those scripts were all villains.

He also posted the script of "Escape Plan 3" on Weibo and made a fierce comment, saying that he would never accept any scripts with no bottom line like a beggar.

"Mr. Zhang, I have an idea recently and I want to report it to you~"

Chen Xiaowei observed Zhang Chen's expression while driving, and even changed his address from Director Zhang to Mr. Zhang.

"Say~"

"I don't know if Mr. Zhang has ever heard of streaming media, which is video websites. I think this will be the next hot spot~"

"Oh, what do you say?"

When Zhang Chen heard that this was what Chen Xiaowei said, he became interested.

“I used to work in the Internet industry, and Internet products are actually designed to meet certain needs of users.

Real-time communication meets people’s need to communicate;
E-commerce products meet people’s shopping needs;
Information satisfies people’s need to obtain external information;
Games are for entertainment needs;
After joining the company these two days, I have been thinking about what needs do movies meet?
It’s actually entertainment.

Movies are probably the cheapest way for people to gain happiness.

For thirty or forty yuan per ticket, the audience can have fun for several hours.

Video websites are actually projections of movies on the Internet.

Not everyone is willing to spend dozens of dollars to watch a movie, and not everyone has the time and energy to watch a movie. Video websites meet the needs of such people.

Compared with movies, video websites are cheaper and more flexible, so I think they will be popular in the future..."

"Well said, how do you think video websites should be run?"

Chen Xiaowei smiled awkwardly: "I haven't thought about this yet, maybe it's advertising~"

"Don't you think paying for movies is a viable solution?"

Chen Xiaowei shook her head: "That must be a prerequisite, the film and television must be legal, but I don't think we will be legal in the short term~"

Sure enough, there are still limitations of the times.

"But I still suggest that you invest in this area, such as acquiring a video website. Once this area is gradually improved, it will definitely develop."

"How do you know I didn't?"

"You have?" Now it was Chen Xiaowei's turn to be surprised.

Zhang Chen laughed awkwardly: "Not yet, but I'm already planning it."

Zhang Chen briefly talked about his acquisition of film and television copyrights, and Chen Xiaowei was very surprised.

"Mr. Zhang is really far-sighted~"

She originally wanted to take credit for it, but she didn't expect Zhang Chen to think further than she did.

A bit embarrassing!

Just when he was wondering how to resolve the embarrassment, Zhang Chen said, "Like you, I think video websites will be the next hot spot, but not now. We still have to wait for a while..."

Chen Xiaowei didn't say anything.

Zhang Chen added: "You are very good. You know a lot about the Internet and have a keen sense of touch. It would be even better if you could have a deeper understanding of movies. When the opportunity comes, I will let you take charge~"

Chen Xiaowei suddenly felt her blood boiling, but she also understood what Zhang Chen said.

What Zhang Chen wants is not only talents who understand Internet operations, but also people who understand movies.

"I will~"

Zhang Chen smiled and did not continue the topic.

It was a temporary decision made by Zhang Chen to let Chen Xiaowei be in charge of this area.

I originally wanted Chen Xi to take charge of this area, but suddenly I felt that the film and television copyrights and video websites should be separated.

When he returned to the company, Zhang Guoli was there too. Dong Jianqiang came up to him and said, "According to your request, everyone has had their hair tested, and there are no problems.

I have arranged for them to join the team. The first group should have arrived in Hengdian by now, and there are people in charge of their physical training~"

Zhang Chen nodded with relief when he heard "everything is fine".

According to the new regulations of "Pacific Rim", all participating actors, as long as they play supporting roles or above, must undergo hair testing.

If it is detected, then I'm sorry, Star Entertainment will never cooperate with actors who have had such experience.

"Notify Smith to pick him up at the airport. The actors confirmed by Hollywood will join the crew in the next two days. They will also need to undergo hair tests..."

Smith is a Warner staff member stationed on the Pacific Rim crew.

"Okay, I'll notify the other end."

Dong Jianqiang ordered someone to make the call, while Zhang Guoli said, "Wouldn't this be a big deal? It could easily cause hostility from people in the industry..."

He knows some of the ecology in the industry, and Zhang Chen's sudden move would make some people embarrassed.

Zhang Chen shook his head. "This is not an exaggeration. This is a matter of principle. You know our country's attitude towards those chemicals. We must pay attention to this. The entertainment industry is a disaster area. I can't guarantee that everyone is fine, but at least I have to ensure that the artists who work with us are fine..."

Zhang Chen expressed his attitude.

He has nothing to regret about missing out on Robert Downey Jr.

Three different views.

Robert Downey Jr. was able to make a comeback with "Iron Man" and even become a top star in Hollywood.

That was in Bald Eagle.

The bald eagle calls this a prodigal son's return, which is worth more than gold. It is simply impossible in the country.

Give you a chance to come back?

Don’t even think about it!

Public figures must have the awareness of being public figures. They can have flaws, but they must not cross the moral bottom line.

There is absolutely zero tolerance for anyone who has touched that thing.

This is a matter of principle.

……

In Hengdian, Guo Fan is leading the director team to make a shooting plan. Zhang Chen has already said that the filming will start after "Painted Skin". They are destined to spend this year's New Year in Hengdian.

But there was no frustration on everyone's face, only excitement, as they were about to witness the birth of the most expensive film in Chinese film history.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to do this either, but this is a special request from the project team, so everyone please cooperate..."

In a room, Smith was explaining to several new foreign leading actors who had just joined the crew, and they looked at each other in confusion.

Before signing the contract, Warner did mention this to them, and everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.

I didn't expect that I would be checked as soon as I landed here.

“Guys, if any of you have that habit, it’s better to say it in advance so that everyone can save time.

Hair testing is very accurate and can still detect it even if it was done a few months ago, so don’t take chances.”

As Smith spoke, he pulled one or two strands of hair from each person's head, stuffed them into a sealed bag, and put a name tag on it.

Hair testing is indeed the most accurate method of testing. Once it is performed, the metabolites of that thing will exist stably in the hair.

From the root of the hair upwards, about one centimeter represents the length of one month.

Therefore, hair testing can be traced back half a year or even longer.

Once you’ve played it, you can’t escape it.

Although everyone was somewhat unhappy, after all, they had just arrived in a strange country and people had informed them in advance, so they all cooperated obediently.

Smith pushed the door open and walked into the director's office, complaining, "Damn it, what kind of weird rule is this? Why are people with that experience not allowed to act in movies? This is discrimination, blatant discrimination..."

Guo Fan was already used to it. He looked at the shooting plan in front of him without even raising his eyelids: "Come on, Smith, this is not discrimination. You know, everyone in the crew has been tested..."

"Okay, I'm just complaining, but I just don't understand why you hate that thing so much..."

Guo Fan finally raised his eyelids this time: "You don't understand because you don't know our history. If you knew our history, you wouldn't say that.

In our history, there was a period of time when the country was badly hurt by this thing and was bullied by foreigners. We call it a century of humiliation. So after the founding of New China, the most stringent national policy was zero tolerance for this thing..." Smith happened to be a person who was interested in history, especially world history.

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry I don't know much about your history, but I think I should learn more about it..."

Guo Fan snapped his fingers: "Man, I have to say, this is a really good idea. Knowing the history of China will help you make friends with the Chinese..."

Smith happily high-fived him.

1000 words have been reviewed here...

……

In Beijing, Xingchen Entertainment held a special press conference to announce the release date of Painted Skin. It will be officially released on December 2006, 12, and in Hong Kong and Taiwan on the 15th and 17th respectively.

Zhang Chen wanted to train Chen Xiaowei more, so she hosted the press conference and announced the news in person.

After the news was announced, flashes of light flashed everywhere, and I don’t know how much film was killed.

But that’s not all. She then announced: “After the release of Painted Skin, Pacific Rim will officially start filming. There will be no separate opening ceremony at that time. Please be informed~”

Another burst of white light flashes~
Pacific Rim is finally about to start filming.

Ever since the press conference announced the launch of the Pacific Rim project and released the concept map, there has been no progress on this matter.

After more than half a year, it was finally launched.

During the question-and-answer session, Chen Xiaowei looked at the arms raised like a forest of flesh, and she seemed to have returned to her time at Xinhuanet.

Just click one:
"Mr. Chen, there is news that Xingchen Entertainment requires all actors in Pacific Rim to undergo hair testing. Is that true?"

Chen Xiaowei knew that the media would ask this question, so she smiled and nodded: "Yes, it was indeed Xingchen Entertainment's request."

"why?"

"Because Chairman Zhang Chen went to the United States and saw the chaos there.

So after he came back, he specifically requested that all actors working with our company must undergo hair testing. If they fail the test, Xingchen Entertainment will refuse to cooperate with them. "

After this question was answered, a bunch of people immediately raised their hands to ask questions, and Chen Xiaowei randomly selected one of them.

"Is Xingchen Entertainment's move intended to purify the entertainment industry? Some people believe that Xingchen Entertainment's move is suspected of violating the privacy rights of actors. How do you respond to this?"

While Chen Xiaowei was still considering the wording, Zhang Chen stood up and said, "Let me, the instigator, answer this question~"

Seeing this, Chen Xiaowei took two steps back, gave up her seat, and handed over the microphone.

Zhang Chen took the microphone, looked around at the reporters below, and then said: "First of all, this move cannot be regarded as purifying the entertainment industry. At most, it can be regarded as Xingchen Entertainment raising its own cooperation threshold.

If you don't like it, you don't have to cooperate.

Secondly, I personally believe that all public figures should play a positive role, especially entertainment stars.

Compared with other fields, entertainment stars have a wider audience and greater influence on young people.

Therefore, higher requirements should be placed on them.

You are not required to be a saint. You can have shortcomings, personality, and even make mistakes, but you must be positive.
Your words and actions should at least be above the moral bottom line.

And hair testing is the lowest bottom line I can think of.

Everyone knows the national conditions of our country. How many front-line personnel sacrifice their lives every year in drug enforcement?
Therefore, not touching that thing is no longer a moral bottom line, but a civic bottom line.

If he can't even do this, then I think he doesn't deserve to appear in public~"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds and applause broke out at the scene.

Someone took advantage of the chaos to ask, "Are there any people in the entertainment industry who you think are doing well as public figures?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu Dehua."

It was just a casual question, but I didn't expect Zhang Chen to answer it so seriously and directly.

Obviously, he had thought carefully about this choice.

"But some people say that what King Liu shows is his performance and his character~"

Zhang Chen smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter.

When it comes to public figures, we judge them by their actions, not their intentions.

If a person pretends to be a gentleman all his life, then he is a gentleman.

King Liu has been in the entertainment industry for decades, and has a good reputation, a positive outlook, and has never been involved in any scandals.
Even ordinary parents would not stop their children if they told them that their idol is King Liu.

This is very telling. If the idol is replaced by someone else, parents may not be happy about it.”

Zhang Chen's words caused people to think deeply.

They are not unfamiliar with King Liu, but it seems that no one has ever interpreted King Liu from this perspective.

After the press conference, the news spread throughout the world in just half a day.

In addition to fans' excitement about Pacific Rim finally starting filming, what people talked about most was Zhang Chen's views on public figures.

Soon, the central media came out and affirmed Zhang Chen’s remarks.

[Public figures should be honest and trustworthy in terms of morality, abide by the moral bottom line, and play a leading role in social responsibility~]

This is equivalent to endorsing Zhang Chen~
Then what is there to discuss?

Originally, some people wanted to use this incident to rubbish Zhang Chen.

I didn’t expect that the central media would directly put a layer of golden bell cover on it.

Many film crews have begun to learn from Xingchen Entertainment and also make similar requirements when selecting actors.

Don't they know what's going on?
of course I know.

We are all in the same circle, and we all have a rough idea of ​​who is a good person.

In the past, if someone came to you and you didn’t want to use it, it would be difficult to refuse.

It’s different now. I respond to the country’s call and promote positive energy.

If you want to be in my play, you can, and you can also do a hair test, and the results will be made public.

Anyway, the crew just pretends to be ignorant.

I don't know what other habits you have.
What, the schedule is not suitable?
That's such a shame.

Let's cooperate again next time if we have the chance~
……

The above are all things about the film industry. There is only one thing recently in the television industry - "Before Dawn" became a hit.

And it’s a big fire!
Liu Xinjie, Tan Zhongshu, Duan Haiping, Gu Jiahua, Li Bohan, Qi Peilin, Sun Dapu, Ma Weiran...

All the main and supporting characters, big and small, became famous.

People have never seen such a drama, with a fast pace and a lot of practical information.

There are not many spy war scripts after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are even fewer that describe a large number of technical details like "Before Dawn".

After all, only a small number of people have watched "Prison Break", and most domestic audiences have not been exposed to the American TV series model.

I can't even understand the operation of placing the hook.

After two episodes are aired every day, the audience can’t stop watching.

At first people were wondering why this TV series was so good.

Gradually people discovered that this TV series was immoral.

Every time when it's about to end, a hook must be placed.

One hook after another, the audience can't stop.

"Before Dawn" is a script written completely in the style of American TV series.

Because American TV series are broadcast weekly, the scripts are usually very solid.

The plot progresses quickly, has many clues, and focuses on suspense.

"Before Dawn" refers to this model.

Good dramas are all about multiple lines intertwined with each other. The story lines of "Before Dawn" are divided into three parts:
Intelligence struggle line, the cooperation between the "sailor" Duan Haiping and the "dorman" Liu Xinjie, the eighth bureau wants to capture the sailor and investigate the dormant inside, the positive and negative game between the two sides;
Emotional entanglement line, the feelings between Liu Xinjie and Gu Jiahua during the battle, and the brotherhood between Liu Xinjie and Tan Zhongshu;

In the power game line, in the eighth round, Tan Zhongshu balanced the forces of all parties, and Li Bohan had intense conflicts with Liu Xinjie, Qi Peilin, Sun Dapu and others.

Three groups of characters, three lines, interweaving with each other, each step of the development is completely unexpected, but the plot develops very fast, with a small crisis in each episode, making people unable to stop...

The audience just can't stop watching it. They watch it during prime time every day while cursing.

I cursed after watching it, but after cursing I wanted to watch it again. I just wanted to see how Liu Xinjie resolved the crisis.

Every episode has a hook, but the plot development in each episode is beyond people's expectations.

After two episodes a day, there is nothing more to watch.

The audience had nothing to do, so they followed the hook and thought about how they would solve the dilemma if they were Liu Xinjie.

However, when it was aired the next day, it was not what I expected.

"The plot of this drama is really confusing~"

This is the general evaluation of "Before Dawn" by the audience.

Cao Bingkun was in a state of excitement every day, and he finally knew what it felt like to be famous.
