Chapter 384 I'll find a great fortune teller to help you
For an upcoming movie.
What is the most afraid of?
Naturally, the most feared thing is lack of heat.
At this point, "Infernal Affairs" seems to be facing this embarrassing situation.
Seeing everyone running to eat the melon of #Zhang Tonghe organizing prostitution#, Jiahe’s boss Cheng Guangzu was running around in the office in a panic.
In such a hurry, he slammed the table and cursed loudly: "You loser, why sell it now instead of earlier or later? He has taken away all the popularity!"
Listening to Cheng Guangzu's scolding, Liu Yongzhe, the director of Infernal Affairs, comforted him: "It's okay, Brother Zu, this kind of news will soon pass, there's no need to rush."
"It won't be quick. It will take at least a week or two to recover. Time is life. The preview promotion time is so short. If Zhang Tonghe's incident takes away a week's popularity, it will be too uncomfortable.
More importantly, we have already invested the money for publicity and promotion. If we fail to get the expected popularity, it means we have lost money again." Cheng Guangzu scratched his head.
This is where the problem gets really annoying.
The time for film promotion, screening and release is usually determined in advance, and all work is done according to the determined time.
Therefore, when facing Zhang Tonghe's sudden situation, it was indeed difficult to react, and there was no way to adjust the time, so he could only go ahead with it.
Thinking of this, Cheng Guangzu asked again: "How long will it take for Mr. Xu to arrive?"
Hearing this question, Liu Yongzhe raised his hand and looked at his watch: "We are almost there, right? The driver said more than ten minutes ago that we are almost there."
That’s right, the first preview of “Infernal Affairs” was held in Hong Kong.
This was Cheng Guangzu's strong request, because he had placed his hopes on the movie "Infernal Affairs" with more than just box office success.
He hopes that all audiences and colleagues in Hong Kong can see the efforts he, Cheng, has made to revive Hong Kong films.
This is very important. People live their lives with their face, especially for old-school businessmen like Cheng Guangzu, who attach great importance to face.
It is precisely because there are too many expectations for "Infernal Affairs".
Therefore, the Zhang Tonghe incident that suddenly emerged to steal the spotlight made him so uncomfortable.
After about fifteen minutes of suffering, Liu Yongzhe suddenly said, "Brother Zu, Mr. Xu and his men are almost downstairs."
"Let's go downstairs to pick them up." Cheng Guangzu didn't hesitate at all when he heard that. He quickly walked out of the office and asked a few senior executives to accompany him downstairs.
On the other side, in a black nanny car, Xu Xiyu and Jiang Yue sat side by side.
Since there was no actor playing the role of Hua Qing in Infernal Affairs, all the roles were found by Jiahe and Yongsheng.
Therefore, there are only two of them representing Huaqing who came to Hong Kong this time.
Shan Xinbao, who had been following the company, was retained in the company. Xu Xiyu could remotely control her to exercise some of the chairman's rights. This was also one of the basic job contents of Assistant Dong and was not special.
In addition, the reason why Xu Xiyu only brought Jiang Yue was that he wanted to keep her by his side and train her for a period of time.
At this time, the two were also talking about Zhang Tonghe.
As they chatted, Jiang Yue made a guess that made Xu Xiyu laugh and cry.
"You mean, Bu Zhaojie will definitely find a way to push this onto me?"
Jiang Yue nodded with certainty after hearing this and said, "Based on my understanding of him, he called me immediately last night with the intention of pushing the responsibility onto me.
Later, Zhang Tonghe's affair was exposed by us. His first reaction must be that I couldn't handle this, so he would definitely push it onto you."
"Really?" Xu Xiyu fell into thought after hearing this.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked curiously, "Based on your understanding of him, how would he deduce it?"
"Do you remember what Qin Weiwu did after the fact that he liked to sleep with his subordinates' wives was exposed?" Jiang Yue did not respond directly.
When the Qin Weiwu incident broke out last time, Bu Zhaojie directly revealed that "Jiang Yue was sexually exploited." Then he successfully earned himself the nickname "Green Oil".
So, Xu Xiyu immediately reacted and said, "You mean, he will follow his previous practice and reveal that he contacted Mao Gaojun and Zhang Tonghe at my instruction?"
"Yes, absolutely." Jiang Yue judged that there might be something wrong with other things.
But guessing Bu Zhaojie's behavior is now accurate, and it can only be said that they are worthy of being a couple for many years. Hearing this, Xu Xiyu thought about it again, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly laughed.
He was just about to say something to Jiang Yue when he found that the car had stopped. He turned around and saw Cheng Guangzu and a few others standing at the door to greet him.
So he swallowed his words, took Jiang Yue out of the car, and went upstairs while chatting with Cheng Guangzu and others.
A few minutes later.
The group arrived at Cheng Guangzu's office.
As soon as he sat down, Old Cheng said to Xu Xiyu with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Xu, this is a bad year. It's really a bad year!" "Why do you say that suddenly?" Xu Xiyu asked Cheng Guangzu with a smile.
"Look, you have two projects on hand this year. The Beginning was going well and was about to be released, but Zhang Wenyan suddenly had an accident. Now our Infernal Affairs is about to be screened, and Zhang Tonghe's incident has become a roadblock.
This is really a bad luck. Hey, Mr. Xu, if I remember correctly, this is your zodiac year, right?" Cheng Guangzu continued with an embarrassed face.
"Yes, it's my zodiac year." Xu Xiyu is 24 this year, isn't it his zodiac year?
"I said, this must be the reason." Cheng Guangzu patted his forehead.
Then he turned to Liu Yongzhe and said, "Ayong, make some arrangements. After Mr. Xu and Mr. Jiang have a rest, we will go to the Wong Tai Sin Temple to worship together. By the way, we can ask a master to calculate whether Mr. Xu has any conflict with the Zhang family."
“???” Jiang Yue was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? They hadn’t even started discussing any serious business yet, and already they were dragging people to worship gods?
Besides, what the hell is the conflict with the surname Zhang?
As for Xu Xiyu, he understood Cheng Guangzu's behavior. Hong Kong people, especially businessmen, do believe this.
However, he has no intention of going to worship any gods now.
So, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Zu, don't be in a hurry. Zhang is a common surname. If I remember correctly, this surname is the third most populous in the country. It's normal to meet two people with the surname Zhang by chance."
"Two? No, didn't you have conflicts with that oil king Zhang Yiyuan before? Isn't this a conflict?" Cheng Guangzu immediately shook his head.
"……"After these words were spoken, Xu Xiyu was finally in a state of panic.
As for Jiang Yue next to him, he burst out laughing. Good man, this is too humorous, such a connection has been found.
She smiled and said to Cheng Guangzu: "Brother Zu, don't worry, things are not as troublesome as you think, be patient and wait, there will definitely be a turning point."
"Yes, Brother Zu, what you have to do now is to carry out the preview according to the previous plan. Don't think about other things. It's useless to think too much." Xu Xiyu said helplessly.
Hearing both of them say this, Cheng Guangzu's expression became a little conflicted.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what the two said.
After all, the Zhang Tonghe incident was too big, and it was not just entertainment news. As more and more details were disclosed, it was a social rule of law news, and the attention was full.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much money "Infernal Affairs" spends on publicity, it will be difficult to take away any popularity from the Zhang Tonghe incident.
Moreover, Cheng Guangzu is not lacking in patience.
But the problem is, he is still waiting for "Infernal Affairs" to vent his anger!
Thinking of this, he sat down on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He said to the two of them, "Boss Xu, Boss Jiang, I know these principles. But I have been holding back my anger for more than half a year."
"Bad temper?" Xu Xiyu asked curiously, "Who in the Hong Kong entertainment industry dares to give you bad temper?"
"Do you still remember Wu Youjin?" Cheng Guangzu asked.
"Of course." Xu Xiyu nodded.
Wu Youjin was the first Hong Kong entertainment person who approached Xu Xiyu to discuss cooperation at that time. He was also the boss of Queen Entertainment.
As mentioned before, he approached Xu Xiyu to discuss cooperation through the relationship of Ko Hsin-ying. But after hearing that Xu Xiyu wanted to shoot a Hong Kong style film, he hesitated again.
After much hesitation, he finally decided to "ask ghosts and gods instead of the common people".
I asked a master to predict Xu Xiyu's fortune. The final conclusion was that "Xu Xiyu's fortune is changing, and he will soon face a disaster."
Originally, Wu Youjin didn't want to make a Hong Kong-style film. He was just envious of the box office of "Dying to Survive" and hoped that Xu Xiyu could help him make a big profit with a small investment.
Now I heard that Xu Xiyu was going to face a "big disaster".
I gave up the idea of cooperation instantly.
The day after he gave up, Cheng Guangzu directly approached Xu Xiyu, and later quickly reached a cooperation with Yongsheng and Huaqing.
However, Xu Xiyu was not aware of these things.
He only knew that Wu Youjin and he were talking and nothing came of it.
Therefore, when Xu Xiyu heard Cheng Guangzu mention Wu Youjin, he asked curiously, "What happened to him?"
"What else? From the time I discussed the cooperation with you on Infernal Affairs until now, for almost a year, he has been doing bad things behind your back.
If our movie fails to generate buzz in the early stages of promotion, it will likely fail in the Hong Kong market and have poor box office performance. " Cheng Guangzhu said, his face visibly flushed.
Xu Xiyu frowned when he heard this: "No, I didn't understand. You know the quality of Infernal Affairs. How can Hong Kong audiences not support such a good Hong Kong film?"
Thanks to the leader of [Warrior of Love Oscar Wilde], I offer tea to the big guy!
