Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 484 Domineering Protection of the Master
[College students are a group that is difficult to buy off. They believe in the most simple values: good is good, bad is bad.]

Zhang Chen's words were quoted and reprinted by many media and went viral everywhere.

It really attracted a lot of traffic to the Beijing University Student Film Festival.

The organizers of the film festival didn't expect this either.

The college students should be proud of this, this is Zhang Chen’s evaluation of them, and they themselves indeed think so.

Good is good, bad is bad.

Not so many social conventions.

Discussions about the Academy Awards and major film festivals are intensifying.

The Academy Awards has a long history and many fans.

But the main participants of the big film festivals are college students, who are the most powerful group in terms of battle.

The two sides argued with each other, and for a while it was difficult to tell who was the winner.

On the Internet, not all attacks and insults are directed at Zhang Chen himself.

Zhang Chen still has quite a few fans.

Many people expressed their support for Zhang Chen.

[You say Zhang Chen’s movies are vulgar and cultural garbage. If you are that capable, why don’t you make a movie yourself?]

[Isn’t it just picking faults? I can find a bunch of faults for Farewell My Concubine. ]

[It is impossible for the RMB to be loved by everyone, let alone movies. 】

As for those scandals, not only did they not discredit Zhang Chen, but they made him even more popular.

[From today on, I declare that Zhang Chen is my enemy. If you dare to snatch my Fatty Fan, I will fight with you]

[If you dare to fight with my idol, you have to get past me first. But idol, can you teach me how you did it first?]

[No, can anyone tell me what’s going on with Chen Shu? She has never worked with Zhang Chen.]

[Yeah, I'm also wondering where this Chen Shu came from. I'm a senior fan of Zhang Chen, and I can say with certainty that these two have never worked together~]

Some nosy reporters found several parties involved in the scandal and interviewed them about their views on the matter.

Fatty Fan's face was full of resentment: "I would like to say that I have a relationship with him, but he doesn't agree. Who wouldn't want to catch such an outstanding man as a boyfriend?"

With Fan Xiaopang taking the lead, others followed suit.

Xu Qing was stopped by a reporter on her way to a beauty salon: "Director Zhang is a very good man. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely pursue him~"

Gao Yuanyuan was interviewed on the set: "I won't compete with them. Such an outstanding man is destined not to belong to me~"

Che Xiao met with reporters in her own mansion. The richest man Li accompanied her and said, "Those entertainment gossips are really unreliable. Director Zhang Chen is my good friend. He introduced my husband and me to each other."

Yang Xiaomi took some time out to be interviewed on the set of "Lost". "Everyone knows that I was able to get many roles in Xingchen Entertainment because of Chen Xi. She used to be the third in command of Xingchen. We are good girlfriends, but you guys are making nonsense like this, which will make our relationship very difficult..."

Cao Bingkun, who had his back to them, listened to the whole thing with his ears perked up and rolled his eyes.
Finally, it’s Chen Shu.

Chen Shu is still a little-known person now, and she only gained some fame with the role of Huang Yiyi in the 05 TV series "The Counterfeiter".

"I don't know why my name appears in it. I don't even know Director Zhang Chen, but I am looking forward to working with him."

Seeing all these comments online, the Hong Kong and Taiwan people were dumbfounded, and several people held a small meeting again:

"Isn't it said that the mainland takes the personal ethics of public figures very seriously? Why is it different when the dirty water is thrown on Zhang Chen?"

"That's for married people. Zhang Chen is still single, and his rumored girlfriends are also single, the men are unmarried, and the women are unmarried. You call this a scandal?

The most important thing is that he is a young man, at the right age for dating, so having a rich love history is nothing at all. "

Someone pointed out the key, and everyone finally understood why a trick that had always worked failed this time.

At this time, Yu Dong's backup plan began to take effect.

The smear campaign against Zhang Chen in the mainland finally began to shift from the Internet to print media, and some unknown celebrities began to come out to accuse Zhang Chen.

After all, the Internet is just a small part, and print media is the mainstream.

Now, someone finally started to attack Zhang Chen in the print media.

Zhang Chen was not prepared to fight back immediately. He planned to let the bullet fly for a while.

He knew that he had touched too many people's cakes, and he wanted to know who were the people hiding in the dark and plotting against him.

At first, there were only one or two people accusing Zhang Chen, but when they saw that Zhang Chen didn't react, more and more people started to accuse him.

Some guys who had been bullied by him before also jumped out to join in the accusations.

It's like when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

Zhang Chen remained indifferent.

Inside Xingchen Entertainment
Zhang Chen was flipping through the newspaper. After reading several copies in a row, he felt a little bored.

These guys really have no imagination at all, and the content they use to smear him is just the same few sentences over and over again.

Overly pleasing the audience
Flattering market~
No artistic pursuit
The work is vulgar~
Worship foreign things~
Poor hype~
Listing Zhang Chen’s seven deadly sins.

"Are you really not worried at all?"

"worry about what?"

"Your public image~"

Zhang Chen shook his head: "I don't want to be a perfect person, so I'll just take this opportunity to defile myself. I'm greedy and lustful to begin with, and if they say I'm greedy and lustful, then the public won't have any cognitive gap.

If I insist on promoting myself as a blank sheet of paper, and they splash ink on it, it will be impossible to wash it off~"

Zhang Chen knows very well that playing with character will eventually collapse, so he doesn't even create one.

……

Amidst the noise, the Academy Awards opened.

Starry~
Many stars came to support the event, including those from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland. The two groups sat clearly separated. The leader of the "Curse of the Golden Flower" crew this time was Zhang Weiping. Zhang Yimou did not attend on the grounds of preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Before the ceremony started, Chen Jiashang, the chairman of the Academy Awards, greeted the guests with a smile.

Bowie Tsang, Wong Tung Sing and Lam Chi Chung were the hosts, constantly livening up the atmosphere.

The award ceremony began and the awards were announced one by one.

Best Picture: Fathers and Sons.

Best Actor, Andy Lau for "I Want to Be Famous".

Best Actress, Gong Li, "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Best Supporting Actress, Zhou Xun, "The Banquet".

Best Editing, Kwong Chi-leung, “The Warring States”

Best Action Choreography, Yuen Woo-ping, "Huo Yuanjia"

Almost all influential blockbusters such as "Curse of the Golden Flower", "The Banquet", "The Warring States" and "Huo Yuanjia" have won awards.

Last year, "Underworld" was very successful and won many awards, but this year's "Underworld 2" failed to win any awards.

On the surface, the award ceremony looked lively, but sensitive people could sense that the atmosphere always revealed a hint of awkwardness.

Throughout 2006, the famous movie Star Entertainment accounted for half of the total.

"Danny, reporters will definitely interview you later, so remember to be careful with your words and actions, and don't fall into the trap of those reporters. They will definitely ask you questions in a roundabout way, so remember, only talk about yourself, and don't express your opinion on anything else."

In the early years, Wang Jing and Zhen Zidan did not have a good relationship.

At first, Wang Jing signed a three-film contract with Makoto for 100 million yuan per film, and promised to let Yuan Kui tailor the film for him.

But during the actual filming, Makoto found that there was not enough budget and time to complete a decent action scene. He felt that his talent and time were wasted, and eventually redeemed the contract.

However, their relationship had eased slightly in the past two years, and Makoto happened to be sitting next to him, so he gave him a reminder.

Mako Dan was alert, he really hadn't thought of this.

Sure enough, the media came to interview us soon.

"How do you feel about losing this time?"

"It's a pity, but I will continue to work hard. I am convinced that I lost to Master Yuan Ba. Master Ba is still very strong..."

"How do you feel about this year's Academy Awards?"

"Very good. It can be seen that Chairman Chen has made a lot of efforts for this year's Academy Awards..."

“What do you think of mainland movies?”

"Very good. I have also seen Curse of the Golden Flower. Ms. Gong Li's acting is superb..."

"So how do you think he compares to Fan Binbin in Painted Skin?" This is blatantly stirring up trouble.

Makoto glanced at the reporter opposite him. If there was an alley nearby, he might have dragged the reporter in and beat him up.

He dug a hole right in front of me and gave me a push.

"I'm not in a position to answer such questions. Let's end the interview here."

Makoto returned to his seat and gave Wang Jing a grateful look.

If it weren't for his reminder, I might have fallen into their trap.

Wang Jing nodded secretly, thinking that the young man was not too stupid.

The reporter was not satisfied and interviewed many other people during the break, but everyone had a similar attitude.

He praised the Academy Awards highly, but remained silent when asked about Zhang Chen and Star Entertainment.

We support the Academy Awards, but we don't want to offend Zhang Chen.

The media is the media, and individuals are individuals.

They are all smart people. You may have to rely on others for food in the future. There is no need to offend them for no reason.

But there are also those that are not confidential (smart).

After the break, the award ceremony continued. One of the hosts, Huang Dongsheng, suddenly said, "Do you feel that the atmosphere today is so weird~"

……

Zhang Chen didn't know what happened at the Academy Awards. He had already flown to North America to attend the celebration party for "Juno".

With a cost of 650 million U.S. dollars, it grossed 1.4 million in North America.

1:20 profit ratio.

A low-cost miracle was created, another guy whose forehead was kissed by God.

The name Diane has frequently appeared in major media in the past two days, and she looks like a gold medal producer.

Who could have thought that a film about a teenage pregnancy could generate such box office success?

The logic here is incomprehensible to everyone.

But there is one person who can understand it, and that is Diane.

Many film and television companies have extended olive branches to her, hoping that she can replicate her miracle again.

At the celebration banquet, Zhang Chen gave Diane a hug.

"Congratulations, Diane, you created a miracle~"

"Yes, I am very popular now. Do you know how many people want to poach me?"

Zhang Chen didn't say anything. He thought Diane wanted to change jobs.

Diane smiled and said, "But don't worry, I won't leave the Cube. Remember when I took my child to the interview, it was you who gave me the opportunity to work. I won't leave you after making some achievements. Besides, you also made a great contribution to Juno..."

Diane was like a victorious general. She suddenly pulled Zhang Chen to the podium and announced loudly: "Everyone, I am honored to introduce this Steve Zhang, my boss. He is not only the actual controller of Cube Company, but also an outstanding director. The well-known "The Shallows", "Eden Lake" and "A Quiet Place" are all his works."

As Diane made the announcement, applause broke out from the audience.

Many people know that the boss behind Cube is a Chinese, but they never know his true identity. Unexpectedly, he is also a talented director.

Before, many people lamented that the boss of Cube was lucky to have Diane, a gold medal producer.

Now it seems that may not be the case!

"Boss, everyone is waiting for you to say something~"

Zhang Chen raised his glass: "I am proud to have such an excellent producer like Diane. In addition, thank you Hollywood, this is a place where you can witness miracles~"

Zhang Chen clinked glasses with Dai An, and everyone raised their glasses from a distance.

After the two men finished their appearance, they stepped down from the stage and many people came up to them and asked to get to know them.

Zhang Chen received a large number of business cards. After sending these people away, he whispered in their ears, "It seems I have to increase your shares..."

"Haha, I won't refuse."

……

Hong Kong, the day after the Academy Awards ceremony
Almost all media outlets reported extensively on last night's awards ceremony, with some praising it and some mocking it...

The majority of people were sarcastic, and the reason was simple: this year's Best Actor and Best Actress were the worst ever.

This is irrefutable~
Even the two parties involved didn't know what to say when they were interviewed.

The stars are very depressed. Do I really want this award?
I do not want.

But you don't come to participate in the competition, and they insist on giving it to me. What can I do?
Another hot topic was Huang Dongsheng’s bold remarks at the awards ceremony.

Some media believe that Huang Dongsheng’s remarks represent the attitude of some Hong Kong people. The Academy Awards are Hong Kong’s Academy Awards and should not be constrained by mainlanders.

But some media believe that since Hong Kong has already returned, the Academy Awards should not be limited to the small pond of Hong Kong, but should go out.

But no matter what, Huang Dongsheng became famous.

He left the public with the impression of being outspoken.

Another famous person is Wang Jing.

It was a live broadcast that night, and the scene of everyone applauding but him sitting upright was very impressive.

Everyone knows that he stands with Zhang Chen!
It can be said that he and Huang Dongsheng represent two different viewpoints.

The people had a great discussion.

[What if I don't attend? The Academy Awards will still be held. Just like Huang Dongsheng said, Zhang Chen may not come every time, but the Academy Awards will definitely be held every year. The Academy Awards is not held for a certain person, it belongs to the whole of Hong Kong...]

[Wang Jing is a lackey, a disgrace to Hong Kong people]

Just when everyone was arguing fiercely, a piece of news suddenly came out - the chairman of the Academy Awards, Chen Jiashang, officially resigned from the position of chairman of the Academy Awards.

In an interview with the media, Chen Jiashang admitted that the pressure was too great and that the Academy Awards had become a stage for certain clowns, and he himself did not want to wade into the muddy water.

Soon, a new round of debate began.

[Chen Jiashang is a traitor to Hong Kong and has no responsibility~]

[This is what smart people are like, look at what others say, the Academy Awards has become a stage for some clowns, who is the clown is obvious~]

At Fuyi Restaurant, when Huang Dongsheng got the news, he was drinking and celebrating with Zeng Zhiwei and others.

Upon hearing this, he immediately said: "It is wise for Chen Jiashang to resign voluntarily. Since he cannot speak for the Academy Awards, he is not worthy of being the chairman.

The chairman of the Academy Awards should speak for the Awards, and we should bravely say no to those who are not welcome by the Awards."

Zeng Zhiwei assisted: "I think Joe is good. I support him in running for the chairman of the Academy Awards next year~"

Huang Dongsheng clasped his fists and bowed to everyone around him, looking like "Brother Dafei".

Of course, reporters would not let go of such good news material easily.

"Joe, are you really not afraid of offending Zhang Chen by saying this?"

Huang Dongsheng smiled contemptuously: "What are you afraid of?
I have something to tell him, this is Hong Kong, Hong Kong for Hong Kong people, not a place where a mainlander like him can run wild.

Hoho~
Media excitement~
How long has it been since someone openly criticized Zhang Chen?
The Hong Kong media is still fanning the flames, but the mainland audience has already bought melon seeds, ready to watch how Zhang Chen tears the opponent apart with his bare hands.

But no matter how long they waited, he never showed up. Some curious media went to interview him and found out that Zhang Chen was not in the country at all.

Rub~
How does this work?
The melon you promised is gone?

Just when everyone was filled with disappointment, things took another turn.

Golden Harvest Company suddenly announced a press conference and invited nearly 200 media outlets from Hong Kong and the Mainland.

Before the meeting, everyone was speculating that this press conference must be related to Huang Dongsheng’s remarks.

But no one can predict what Golden Harvest's attitude will be.

The press conference was held on time, and Chen Xi walked onto the podium under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Today, we specially held a press conference and invited you all here to announce something~"

There was a commotion below

Chen Xi waited for a few seconds, and when the audience quieted down again, he continued, "In view of Mr. Huang Dongsheng's inappropriate remarks at the Academy Awards and afterwards, Golden Harvest officially announced that Huang Dongsheng has been listed as persona non grata.

From this moment on, Golden Harvest Cinemas will not release any film project in which Huang Dongsheng is involved, and Golden Harvest and Star Entertainment will not have any subsequent cooperation with any TV station that cooperates with Huang Dongsheng. This statement is the result of joint discussions between Golden Harvest Films and Star Entertainment, and is effective immediately!

In addition, I also want to say to Huang Dongsheng, we received the message you asked the media to bring, and we also want to ask the media to bring you a message, Hong Kong is Hong Kong for Hong Kong people, but it is not your Hong Kong, and it is not your Hong Kong that you can do whatever you want. I wish you a good future~"
