Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 471 Going back for revenge
Zhou Jie Lun’s fans are very loyal.

When Zhang Chen made a public statement, his fans immediately became agitated.

Zhou Jie Lun was also a little surprised.

He is a top star in the music industry, but Zhang Chen is a top star in the film industry.

Fans are full of expectations for the collaboration between the two.

If you do good for our idol, we will support your movie.

Zhang Weiping watched helplessly as fans of his own actors contributed to the box office revenue of his competitors.

Whether they can cooperate is still unclear, but Zhang Chen has definitely reaped the benefits.

In its third week, the box office of "Painted Skin" reached 2.7 million, tied with "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Zhang Weiping was so angry that his teeth were itching. You know, "Curse of the Golden Flower" was released a week earlier than "Painted Skin".

Now it has been tied.

This also means that "Curse of the Golden Flower" will never be able to catch up with "Painted Skin".

And seeing that the box office revenue is growing by more than 100 million every day, it will take a long time to break million.

Regarding the promotion of the film, director Zhang Yimou did not cooperate, nor did the two leading actors Gong Huang and Zhou Runfa. Zhou Jie Lun did cooperate with the promotion, but his fans actually turned against him and supported his competitor.

The only one who is worry-free is Liu Huohua.

But what influence does Liu Huohua have?

The more Zhang Weiping thought about it, the angrier he got, and he completely went berserk.

Pull the reporter to spray ~
Xingchen Entertainment disrupts the market and dominates the film schedule~
China Film Group aided and abetted the evil, and it did not play a good role~
Zhang Chen must be Han Sanping's godson, otherwise I really can't understand why Han Sanping helped him like this~
How did a movie like "Painted Skin" that promotes mistresses pass review?
Fan Binbin, who is posing coquettishly, looks like a prostitute~
Zhang Ben is a big mouth. Now that he gets anxious, he becomes even more reckless and dares to say anything?

Zhang Chen was stunned~
Fatty Fan is angry~
The third master is angry~
The Third Master is angry, and the consequences are serious.

If it were to be put into ten years, as long as the key time was changed, "Curse of the Golden Flower" would have to be completely offline.

At that time, digital copies were used, and how long a movie could be shown in theaters depended entirely on a secret key.

It’s not possible now. In 06, film copies were still popular, but it’s almost the same.

Following an order from China Film Corporation, "Curse of the Golden Flower" was withdrawn from the shelves one after another, and the total box office stopped at 2.8 million yuan.

Zhang Weiping was stunned.

Then, Yu Dong smiled~
Because the vacant screenings were basically given to "City of Pain".

"City of Sadness" finally enjoyed the blockbuster treatment. Although it is already the third week, it is not too late.

This is the advantage of the Lunar New Year holiday.

There is still more than a month until the Chinese New Year, so the movie can be released during this period.

It was not until the few days before the New Year that the movie was taken off the screen, when everyone was busy rushing to catch the bus to go home and few people were watching the movie.

As for why they didn't give it to "Painted Skin", China Film Group also has its own ideas.

The screening schedule for "Painted Skin" is already high enough, and what Zhang Weiping was scolding was that Han Sanping and Zhang Chenkeng were in cahoots with each other. Even if he wanted to avoid suspicion, he couldn't increase the screening schedule for "Painted Skin" anymore.

"City of Pain" finally gave me a big boost, and I realized that there is always a way out.

He thought that the eldest and second oldest were fighting, and that he, the third oldest, would be the one to be killed.

Unexpectedly, there is another village where there is a bright future.

Of course Zhang Weiping would not accept this result.

In the media, he called Han Sanping a "mountain eagle" who was overbearing and partial to Xingchen Entertainment, but frequently suppressed other film companies. He also suppressed film companies that did not cooperate with China Film by arranging Hollywood blockbusters to compete with them.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves~
Other companies feel the same way.
Because there is a real possibility of competing with Hollywood blockbusters at the same time.

In Sanye's place, people are very averse to being called "mountain eagle", since they are people in the system.
It is said that Han Sanping was so angry that he smashed the teacup.

This time, Zhang Weiping has really offended Han Sanping.

It can be said that as long as Han Sanping is in power, he will have nothing to worry about.

But he wasn't afraid anyway.

New Picture has never cooperated with China Film Group.

Whether it is investment or distribution, New Picture is played by itself.

"Please don't show up for the rest of the matter. I'll take care of Zhang Weiping's side."

"How do you handle it?"

"Dig up his roots. Isn't he going to flip the table? Then I'll dig up his roots~"

"Zhang Yimou?"

"Correct."

"Don't do anything excessive. A-Mo is the chief director of the 08 Olympic Games. Nothing can happen~"

"Don't worry, I never intended to do anything to Director Amou, I was only targeting Zhang Weiping~"

……

A day later, a freshly published blog was pinned to the top.

Zhang Chen now uses his blog as his Weibo account and announces all news on his blog.

It has a large audience and is more timely than a press conference.

His blog is always monitored by someone, and the blog will be discovered as soon as it is published.

After reading it through, I immediately rubbed my hands with excitement~
Zhang Chen is finally making trouble again~
In the past two days, Zhang Weiping has been blaming everyone, everything and everything, and has pointed his finger directly at Zhang Chen. The media has a hunch that the God of War Zhang will not let it go.
The article goes straight to the point:
[I will talk about two things today. The first one is about Mad Dog Zhang.

The scheduling of films during the Lunar New Year period is a market behavior, but Zhang Weiping has humiliated me, Mr. Han Sanping and Ms. Fan Binbin to the extreme, causing great damage to our reputation. We reserve the right to use legal means to hold him accountable...】

Seeing this, the reporters looked at each other in bewilderment.
That's it?

That's not right~
Zhang Chen, you have to stand up straight, you are Zhang Chen~
The God of War in the Entertainment Industry!
Immediately, an experienced senior in the industry said to stay calm and continue reading. Didn’t Zhang Chen say that they were two different things?
The second thing I want to say:
Zhang Weiping, stop cheating Director Amou's money and please behave like a human being~]

Wow~
The media who browsed the article were excited all of a sudden~
what's the situation?
Did Zhang Weiping cheat Zhang Yimou of his money?
What exactly happened?

How did Zhang Chen know?
Read on
【

As everyone knows, Zhang Weiping and I have had a long-standing grudge. I have been suppressed by him since my first movie.

But I personally have no ill feelings towards director Zhang Yimou, and I even admire him very much.

He pioneered the commercialization of mainland films, which is a great contribution to the entire industry.

Since my debut, we have competed many times, but I have never said a bad word to director Zhang Yimou...

But a person I admire and a person I hate formed a film company - New Picture.

I once investigated New Picture, but was surprised to find that the book profits publicized by Zhang Weiping were pitifully small. It seemed that he said he only made more than 2000 million in the end from "House of Flying Daggers".

I was shocked when I heard the news~
"House of Flying Daggers"?
A movie with a box office of 1.5 million only made a profit of more than 2000 million in the end?

Are you kidding a ghost?

If top-notch works like this earn so little, the film industry would have been doomed long ago.

The domestic box office was 1.5 million, and in the end it only made more than 2000 million. Who would believe this?
But Director Zhang believed it.

I heard that in the end Zhang Weiping gave director Amou 150 million yuan as a director's fee and sent him away, without receiving a single cent of the share he was supposed to receive...

I say this not to ridicule director Amou, but to remind you not to be fooled by Zhang Weiping.

Director Amou is obsessed with art and has invested all his energy in making movies, which may have neglected the commercial aspect.

But the profit of a movie is not just the box office, but also the sale of various copyrights and commercial exchanges. The more top works are, the better in this aspect~
"House of Flying Daggers" made 2000 million in profit?
At least ×3 is pretty good~
I'm not trying to sow discord. Just ask anyone in the industry and they'll know.

If your movie only makes 2000 million in profit, and you work hard for a year, but your personal income is no more than 500 million, then I invite you to Xingchen Entertainment, and I guarantee that you will earn at least million a year...

Of course, there is another possibility. Director Amou has some secret in his hand. I also want to say, leave it to me. As long as you are willing to come to Xingchen Entertainment, I will take care of all your troubles. I, Zhang Chen, will always keep my word...】

瓜~
Big melon~
The melon of the century~
The reporters were excited.
The netizens who browsed the blog were excited~
There was excitement in everyone's eyes~
Zhang Chen is so tough, he actually poached people publicly~
Isn't this digging up ancestral graves?
And it was an open conspiracy, a naked open conspiracy~
But I also blame Zhang Weiping~
You are already tied to a big director, yet you are still not satisfied and even try to deceive him.

I really don't take bean buns as dry food~
The same goes for Director Amou. Who would have thought that such a well-known director in the country knows nothing about business and was fooled by just a few words.

1.5 million in box office, but only 150 million in director’s fee?

Still owed dividends?

Is this still the Zhang Yimou we know?

If Zhang Chen hadn't said it publicly, A-mou would have kept people confused for a long time.

Without any special notice, the media quickly forwarded the blog.

Zhang Chen’s blog spread across the entire Internet within half an hour.

People also knew that Zhang Yimou was cheated.

Zhang Weiping, is he such a person?

Zhang Weiping did not open a blog, otherwise his comment section would have been overwhelmed.

But even so, he found out the next day.

After reading the blog, Zhang Weiping was furious.

He just cursed at the other party, but the other party wanted to cut off his source of income~
If killing was not illegal, Zhang Chen would have been chopped into pieces by now.

But soon, anger was replaced by fear.

If Zhang Yimou saw this...

unimaginable!

He couldn't imagine what it would be like after losing Zhang Yimou!
The only solution now is to appease the other party.

I have to find an excuse to get by~
Well, just to be perfunctory, Zhang Yimou is very easy to deceive~
I called, but no one answered.
Zhang Weiping suddenly felt uneasy.
You don't know it already.

I called again, but still no one answered. Was he busy?

To be on the safe side, it’s better to get a vaccination before meeting.

But Zhang Yimou is now in Los Angeles rehearsing a play.

A little thought,

"Xiao Li, book me the nearest flight to Los Angeles~"

Zhang Weiping continued to make phone calls while urging his assistant to book a plane ticket for him.

Don't even mention Los Angeles, even the moon, I have to go there~
But still no one answered.

"I just hope Zhang Yimou doesn't know about it." Zhang Weiping prayed.

Well, probably not knowing.

Lao Mouzi doesn’t go online!

He thought he knew Lao Mouzi fairly well.

But the real situation is that somewhere in Los Angeles, a phone was buzzing and vibrating, but Zhang Yimou, who was right next to him, just didn't answer it.

He doesn't go online, but his assistant does, and his daughter does too!
At this moment, on the computer in front of Lao Mouzi was Zhang Chen’s blog!
……

The reporters wanted to interview Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Yimou was not in the country at all.

I wanted to interview Zhang Weiping again, but found that I couldn't contact Zhang Weiping either.

The media was busy with their own things for a few days, but when they realized that neither of the two parties responded, it became meaningless.

Just when everyone was about to forget about it, someone broke the news that Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping parted ways unhappily in Los Angeles, and attached a secretly taken photo.

There are several photos.

Zhang Yimou has a dark face in all the photos.
Zhang Weiping is almost the same~
It’s true that every industry has a roll king.

In order to get the news, a domestic reporter actually went to Los Angeles and waited there day and night, and finally he took useful photos.

The topic became hot again. When Zhang Weiping returned to China and got off the plane, he was surrounded by reporters, asking him whether he and Zhang Yimou had broken up.

"Go away~"

Zhang Weiping, who was in a bad mood, pushed the crowd away and left by force.

However, his frustrated look further proved that the media's speculation was correct.

The two seem to have really broken up.
……

Star Entertainment
Zhang Chen, Dong Jianqiang and Chen Xiaowei gathered together and chatted.

Ning Hao beside him said with a click of the tongue: "It seems that Zhang Weiping really broke up with Lao Mouzi. He came back alone this time~"

"how do you know?"

"The newspaper said~"

Ning Hao shook the newspaper and pointed at the photo on it to show everyone.

"It's normal to break up. Zhang Weiping is too arrogant. It's good enough that Zhang Yimou is willing to take him out to play, but he's still not satisfied..."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Should I contact Zhang Yimou?" Dong Jianqiang looked at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen thought about it for a while and said, "Let's get in touch with him. If he is willing, we welcome him. If he is not willing, we won't force him~"

As for Zhang Yimou, he was not determined to win.

The national teacher is actually on the decline.

This is inevitable for anyone.

No one can stay at their peak forever.

"I hope he can join, but I'm worried that after he joins the company, your ideas may not be realized~"

Dong Jianqiang was talking about Zhang Chen's private idea, which he had only revealed to him.

"what are you guys saying?"

Chen Xiaowei next to him was confused: "It seems like there is something I don't know~"

Dong Jianqiang did not answer, but looked at Zhang Chen with a smile: "Can you tell me?"

The latter shrugged: "What's there to be said? It's just an idea of ​​mine. There's no guarantee that it will come true~"

Dong Jianqiang then looked at Chen Xiaowei: "Director Zhang has an idea about the closing ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games. He wants Pacific Rim to be involved..."

"The Olympics? The closing ceremony?"

Chen Xiaowei was frightened by the two people's thoughts.

Do they dare to think about such things?

You are too careless.

But immediately, curiosity rose again: "Tell me in detail, how can I participate?"

This time Dong Jianqiang didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang Chen, indicating that he should speak.

Zhang Chen also met Chen Xiaowei's gaze and pondered for a few seconds: "It's just an idea of ​​mine. For example, at the closing ceremony, let 'Storm Red' appear and participate in the relay of the Olympic flag. At the very least, it can be Fan Binbin..."

His idea actually came from the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

At the closing ceremony, Tom Cruise rappelled from the top and then rode a Harley motorcycle through the streets, all like a scene from Mission Impossible.

In the history of the Olympic Games, there has never been a closing ceremony that was so creative.

This thing is actually not difficult, the key is creativity.

However, it also illustrates the influence of the Mission Impossible film series from another point of view.

Tom Cruise is an American, not French.

If the closing ceremony of the 08 Olympics had featured China's own science fiction movie mechas, the effect would have certainly been better.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Pacific Rim can become a global hit.

The kind of fire that burns out of the sky~
In fact, it is also possible to replace 'Red Storm' with Cheng Long, but that would not bring any bonus to Zhang Chen himself.

Following Zhang Chen's description, a similar picture quickly appeared in Chen Xiaowei's mind, and her eyes lit up.

As a former Internet person, she could fully imagine how high the status of Xingchen Entertainment would be if all this really succeeded.

But then I was a little confused: "Why is it the closing ceremony?"

When asked about this question, Zhang Chen shrugged: "Because only the closing ceremony is possible, the opening ceremony is so important, the country will not let a movie take the limelight.

Only the closing ceremony is irrelevant to the overall situation. If it is well held, it will at most be the icing on the cake. Only then will the country allow for a little more leniency..."

Chen Xiaowei silently digested his words and actually found them to make sense.

Not only did I once again look at my boss with admiration.

I really want to take his skull apart and see what his brain looks like and how he can come up with such a variety of ideas.

At the same time, I also understood why Dong Jianqiang said that.

Zhang Yimou is the chief director of the Olympic Games, and he has the final say over the opening and closing ceremonies.

He has no relationship with Zhang Chen, so it is understandable that he adopted Zhang Chen's plan.

But once he joined Star Entertainment and adopted Zhang Chen's plan, he would definitely be accused of abusing his power for personal gain.

Suddenly, she was in a dilemma.

When Zhang Yimou joined Star Entertainment, Star Entertainment immediately became the undoubtedly number one film and television company in China.

The only three domestic directors with over 200 million box office revenue are all in Xingchen Entertainment. If he is not number one, who is?

But the price is that such a good plan may not be passed.

Oh, it’s so hard to choose~
But soon, everyone's attention shifted away from this.

New box office data is here. The current cumulative box office of "Painted Skin" has reached 2.92 million yuan, and is shakily heading towards 3 million yuan.

Since its release, the box office potential of "Painted Skin" has been basically exhausted.

It's possible to reach 300 million, but it's a fantasy to want to break the record of "Titanic".

But it’s not bad to break 300 million.

There hasn't been any domestic film that has grossed over 300 million yet.

Although the current 2.92 million is also the highest box office number for mainland movies, 3 million definitely sounds more pleasing in comparison.

The media is paying attention, the audience is paying attention, Zhang Chen is paying attention, Han Sanping is also paying attention~
As the Spring Festival approaches, the peak period of Spring Festival travel will begin in a few days.

By then, the whole society's attention will shift to the topic of "going home", no one will go to the movies anymore, and the movies will have to be taken offline.

At Dong Jianqiang's suggestion, Chen Xiaowei has made preparations to purchase box office tickets.

It is also very convenient to buy.

Golden Harvest Cinemas is our own company, so when we really need to boost the box office, we don’t even have to pay the handling fee.

The only cost is the 5% film-specific tax and a 3.3% surcharge.

But no one in Xingchen Entertainment wants to do that.

For such a highlight moment, they certainly want to win it with their own strength.

Buying box office tickets is only a last resort.

Days pass by~
2.97 million~
2.98 million~
2.99 million~
3 billion!
Finally broke 300 million.

The total box office of "Painted Skin" finally stopped at 3.09 million.

The highest in China!
Although there is still a gap compared to "Titanic", the gap between the two sides is no longer an insurmountable chasm!
Xingchen Entertainment held a grand celebration banquet!
This celebration banquet is truly a celebration banquet!

Because the movie has been taken down.

At the celebration banquet, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Chen and Han Sanping together smashed the 3 million digital ice sculpture.

This historic moment was permanently recorded on film.

The excited actors came forward to hug Zhang Chen:

Mr. Zhou: "Thank you Director Zhang for giving me the opportunity to create history together~"

Zhang Chen: "Thank you for being there. The success of Painted Skin is inseparable from your wonderful performance~"

Huang Xiaoming: "Director Zhang, choosing to join the crew of Painted Skin is the best thing I have ever done in my life~"

Zhang Chen: "Because of your participation, Painted Skin has become a classic~"

Fat Fan didn't waste any time talking and just threw himself into her arms.

She is now the famous "Chen Girl", Zhang Chen's favorite heroine, the envy of others, and the thorn in the eyes of many actresses~
At this moment, Fat Fan suddenly felt emotional.

Recalling every little detail of my acquaintance with Zhang Chen.

When they first collaborated, Zhang Chen was still an unknown figure.

However, the other party was like a star, shining and rising continuously.

Fortunately, I was decisive enough at that time and decisively held on to this thigh, otherwise how could I have such glory?

Thinking of this, Fan Binbin also became emotional. She didn't care about the sharp eyes around her that seemed to pierce through her. She took advantage of the moment of hugging and secretly whispered in Zhang Chen's ear: "Tonight, you can do whatever you want~"

Feeling the orchid fragrance blowing beside his ears, Zhang Chen's neck suddenly became stiff.

Looking closely, he found that he couldn't tell whether the person standing in front of him was Fan Xiaopang or Xiao Wei. He just felt that all his hormones were aroused by the other person.

This girl, ever since she starred in "Painted Skin", seems to have maxed out her charm skills, and her every smile and frown can bewitch people.

Yang Xiaomi is enjoying the baptism of flash lights.

The flashing lights made her eyes go dark, but the smile on her face never stopped.

Until a voice next to him called out: "Mi Mi~"

It's Chen Xi~
The two hugged each other.

"Xixi, I'm famous. I'm finally famous~"

Yang Xiaomi cried with joy.

When she was a child actress, the assistant director dared to slap her at will.

Now, she has finally made it.

Moreover, the first movie in which he played a major supporting role grossed over 300 million. How many people can achieve such a result?

What she wanted to do most now was to find Zeng Jia and Li Xiaowan and see what expressions were on their faces.
At this moment on the Internet, the entertainment section headlines of the three major portals, Sina, Sohu, and NetEase, are all "Painted Skin breaks 300 million, becoming the number one movie in the mainland box office."

……

Regarding the closing ceremony, if you have any good ways to appear, please leave a message~
