After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 327 Your Name, Director's Controversy

Changan Club.

"Li Mingyang really knows how to have fun! He can even do such a thing!" Jiang Wen exclaimed while patting the armrest of the chair.

"We have the ability and the fans...it feels like this is going to be a protracted battle, we have to defeat it as soon as possible," said Boss Yang.

"It doesn't matter, let the bullet fly for a while." Jiang Wen waved his hand and said pretentiously.

Boss Yang opened his mouth, but swallowed his words back.

Although the box office difference between Let the Bullets Fly and Your Name is 2.8 million, Li Mingyang is really good at publicity and promotion.

Ticket subsidies and ghost shows were all created by this guy!
With such a huge fan base, even a bad movie can generate high box office.

Not to mention that Your Name isn’t a bad movie.

Advanced aesthetics, advanced filters, animation-like images, Hollywood-level special effects, Grammy-level theme songs...

This is a new concept movie that cost a huge amount of money to produce!
These old film people don’t quite understand it, but young people like it very much... there are too many variables!

After the evening dinner, Boss Yang returned to the presidential suite of the hotel.

When Huo Wenxi saw him coming back, he put the sorted information on the table and said, "What's wrong with you?"

As the general manager of Yinghuang, Huo Wenxi has been working with Boss Yang for almost twenty years and can tell at a glance that the other party is in a bad mood.

"Jiang Wen doesn't want to fall out with Li Mingyang."

"He doesn't think he's sure to win?"

"Roughly the same……"

"Haha, he's taking you as a sucker." Huo Wenxi sneered.

"As long as I can settle down in the mainland, it doesn't matter if I spend a little money. I am now worried that I will spend money and end up making wedding clothes for others."

"It should be safe for Jiang Wen to get 1 billion. If Li Mingyang also breaks 1 billion, then 1 billion is not a rare thing."

“Huayi hasn’t given up either… A movie making over 1 billion is a great thing and brings endless glory. Two movies are acceptable, but three would be boring.” Boss Yang sighed.

Huo Wenxi frowned, "Why is there no response from Huayi? Li Mingyang is eating up the screening schedule for If You Are the One 2!"

Let the Bullets Fly has great staying power, and its screening rate has remained stable at around 40%.

As the box office of If You Are the One 2 has been declining, half of the screening time has been taken up by Your Name.

"The person has been vilified, the movie has been vilified, Huayi did not fail to do something, but it was in the wrong place."

"This kid is really tricky. It will be hard to suppress him if the Beijing Circle doesn't make an effort... I'll go talk to Jiang Wen. If there are some things you may not be able to say, I can say them."

Boss Yang shook his head and said nothing. After a long while, he said, "I thought about it. This matter has too much impact, and it will make a deadly enemy. Give Wang Dajun and the others some time, and they should be able to figure it out."

As early as the beginning of the box office war, Boss Yang, who has been active in the film industry for many years, discovered Li Mingyang's flaws.

Just use this flaw to attack Li Mingyang.

Not to mention that he has become a mortal enemy with Guangguang, even Zuoshandiao will not forgive him.

In addition, the box office performance of Let the Bullets Fly is strong and has great potential.

So he kept quiet and never thought of using that method.

But now Li Mingyang suddenly made a move, using the concert as a hype, turning the tables and pursuing madly.

Boss Yang had some evil intentions and wanted to deal with Li Mingyang, but Jiang Wen didn't want to fall out with Li Mingyang, which made him a little embarrassed.

On the way back, he was secretly scared. Fortunately, he did not tell Jiang Wen about his plan, otherwise he would be in big trouble when the time came.

……

Yanbei, in a villa.

Jiang Wen looked at the latest box office data and took a puff of his cigar.

Your Name has a good box office momentum. During the three days of New Year's Day, we take turns to be the banker. Today you are the daily champion and tomorrow I will be the daily champion.

There is not much gap between the two.

"Brother, I noticed that Boss Yang's face didn't look right today, and I felt like something bad was going on." Jiang Wu said.

"I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Wu asked puzzledly.

"He's afraid of a lot more." Jiang Wen smiled. "This old guy has evil intentions. He wants to use me to suppress Li Mingyang, but he's afraid that it will end badly later."

"People in the Hong Kong circle have a lot of evil thoughts." Jiang Wu took the sobering tea handed over by his sister-in-law and took a sip. "If the emperor is not anxious, then the eunuch is anxious. The most anxious one now is Huayi. Why is he worrying about it for nothing?"

"He wants to acquire land to build a film and television city, so of course I have to worry about it!"

"Well, Huayi is in turmoil because of the film and television city incident. How can he be confident that he won't be beaten up?"

Jiang Wen shook his head. "This has nothing to do with us. My career is in the film industry."

"Brother, can this bullet flying really break 1 billion? Why does it seem a bit unlikely to me? Huayi is nothing, and actually brought up the New Shaolin Temple to snipe you."

"I don't have to worry about other people. My only opponent is myself."

Jiang Wen narrowed his eyes, took a puff of his cigar, and said meaningfully: "Everyone's movies have been released for a long time. There is justice in the judgment of which is better and which is worse. Now it's all about word of mouth. You guys only see your name increasing in box office, but don't see its Douban score falling. In just a few days, it has dropped to 8.0."

"Falling that fast?!"

"The target audience of Your Name is students. People who follow the trend will be disappointed, just like us who watched Your Name. We felt very uncomfortable and bored."

Jiang Wu nodded his head as he listened. He couldn't bear to look at your name. It was a bit irritating to the eyes. It was too white. The actor was too awkward...

"Style determines the upper limit of your name. If Li Mingyang plays with color aesthetics, I will be worried. This kind of white style has too narrow an audience. Even if he mobilizes his fans to watch the movie eight or ten times, it can only break the box office record of "Earthquake", but not break 1 billion."

Jiang Wu was confused and didn't understand what he said, but he still nodded to please his elder brother.

The two brothers chatted for a while, and Jiang Wu was ready to go back. Just as he stood up, the two brothers' cell phones rang at the same time.

Jiang Wu answered the call from his agent, "Hello, it's so late and you haven't rested yet."

"Brother Jiang, something big has happened."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Wu asked curiously.

"Huayi sent a message that the director of your name is Chen Jiashang, not Li Mingyang."

"Fuck, this is too shameless! This is nonsense, Chen Jiashang is so old, how could he possibly shoot such a young movie?"

"That's what Huayi said anyway."

Jiang Wu hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Brother, Huayi's brains are broken. They actually spread rumors that your name was not taken by Li Mingyang."

Jiang Wen also just received the news, but he didn't laugh, because Chen Jiashang did take the photo...

When we were in Hengdian... Li Mingyang didn't care at all. It was Chen Jiashang who was filming. Many actors participated, and many people in the circle knew about it!

……

After Huayi communicated with many people in the Beijing circle.

Early the next morning, a large number of questioners appeared on Weibo. The person who questioned Your Name was not the director Li Mingyang, but the producer Chen Jiashang.

Not only did they raise doubts, they also presented facts and evidence, using your name and crew photos to slap Li Mingyang's fans in the face.

In those crew photos, Chen Jiashang was communicating with the actors, coordinating the shooting scene, and sitting behind the monitor...

The only person missing was Li Mingyang.

As a famous Hong Kong director, Chan Ka-Shang has made many excellent films, including Painted Skin, a hit in recent years that was both a box office success and a critical and public success.

Although many netizens feel that Chen Jia with a head full of white hair cannot be photographed with your name.

But Chen Jiashang is the producer of Your Name, and he is really dedicated and hardworking, and has made great contributions.

As the saying goes, many words can melt gold, and three people can make a tiger.

The internet trolls are spreading rumors crazily, netizens don’t know the truth, and more and more people are questioning it.

If you cannot produce strong and conclusive evidence.

It's all in vain.

Li Mingyang didn't expect that Huayi would attack him from this angle. He never expected it.

My own movie was actually questioned as not being made by me.

Wang Changtian called Zuoshandiao, scolded Huayi for being dishonest, and asked Zuoshandiao to seek justice.

Zuoshandiao replied, "The public opinion has already been exposed, what do you want me to do?" and hung up the phone.

Once this suspicion breaks out, there's no way to stop it.

Calling the police and doing public relations are somewhat helpful, but they can’t solve the problem.

Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang knew that Zuoshandiao could not handle this matter, but they still made the call.

They wanted to know what Zuoshandiao thought about this matter.

Internet rumors are just Internet rumors. The innocent will be proven innocent. All it takes is for the next movie to continue to make progress and the rumors will be self-defeating.

They are worried that the Beijing circle will cause trouble.

What are you afraid of...

In the afternoon, mainstream media and celebrities in the Beijing circle colluded with each other and expressed their opinions on the Your Name director controversy.

Many of these celebrities have participated in the filming of Your Name in Hengdian.

The attitudes of these stars are very consistent, that is, they are not clear.

You clearly participated in the filming, but you don’t know who the final director of the movie is?

This is equivalent to telling everyone in disguise that Li Mingyang may not be the director of Your Name, it may also be Chen Jiashang.

However, the cultural figures, screenwriters, directors, novelists and industry insiders in Beijing are not so tactful in their expressions and are very sarcastic.

It is a tradition for the elders to guide the new ones.

The bouquet of love does not match the style of your name.

Chen Jiashang is a special effects artist. The special effects of Painted Skin and Your Name are good.

Your Name is a two-line story, and the actors in both lines have almost no contact with each other, which makes it very suitable for groups A and B to shoot at the same time. It is normal to have two directors.

Chen Jiashang has a diverse style and is good at many genres. He has representative works in comedies, art films, costume films, police and gangster films, and fantasy films.

Li Mingyang is very good at online dramas and variety shows, but he has only made two movies.

Your Name is an excellent film, especially in terms of the special effects, which are really very good, although a bit jarring to the eyes.
