Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 226 As long as I am a ruin, there will be no house to collapse

It is not known whether Tong Liya believed Meng Bai’s “testimony”, but she finally agreed to cooperate with Chen Sicheng to “clarify”.

That evening, she posted a photo of the couple's visit and dinner on her Weibo, and expressed her willingness to trust her husband.

Chen Sicheng's studio also issued a statement to refute the rumors, saying that the whole thing was a groundless rumor, and at the end it also routinely stated that "the right to pursue legal responsibility is reserved."

Of course, these are all on the surface.

Behind the scenes, the staff also began to contact major entertainment news media and started crisis public relations.

This matter has received a lot of attention online recently. After all, the Spring Festival holiday has just passed and everyone is relatively bored at work.

Many people originally thought that this would be fun to watch, but the man’s wife came out to clarify and ended the game in an instant.

However, clarification is clarification, but it is hard to say whether netizens believe it or not.

Someone dug up Chen Sicheng's previous remarks on a show, in which he said he "supports polygamy for excellent men." Tong Liya, who was on the same stage, said, "As long as I know I can go home, that's fine."

The online debate, which was originally directed at Chen Sicheng alone, instantly turned into a debate directed at both of them.

You know, in the past few years, the "female protagonist style" has become the new correct public opinion, and many female audiences say "men are nothing, I am the only beauty."

Tong Liya's attitude of compromise is naturally a traditional dregs, and her reputation dropped a lot.

As for Chen Sicheng, although more people scolded him, it had no impact on his image.

This isn’t the first time he’s been caught doing something like this. His reputation isn’t very good to begin with, so how much lower can it get?

Some netizens even spoke up for him, saying "Talented people are usually romantic, and he wasn't a good guy to begin with, so it was only a matter of time before something like this happened."

Although Chen Sicheng had no idea what to make of this kind of comment, Meng Bai did shout out "I've learned something".

Sure enough, the character setting should not be set too high from the beginning.

It seems that I have to be prepared. I have to break similar news every once in a while. If it’s not real, I can just make up some fake ones.

On the one hand, it can destroy the character's image in advance, and on the other hand, it can also desensitize everyone.

There are too many fakes, and when a few real ones are mixed in, no one will believe them anymore.

As long as I am a pile of ruins, the house will never collapse.

Chen Sicheng issued a clarification announcement, and the entertainment media surrounding the crew also received news from their leaders, and most of them withdrew.

For the remaining individuals, there is basically no impact, and the crew of "Detective Chinatown 3" can finally continue filming.

It's not without benefits. With these people around, Chen Sicheng didn't dare to do any extra things and could focus all his energy on the movie.

As a result, the project progress was greatly accelerated.

Not only did we make up for the few days of delay, but we also exceeded the original shooting schedule.

At this rate, it will be finished in less than a month.

Meng Bai stayed in the crew for a few days and adjusted the plot line about the genius loli "Sinuo" with Chen Sicheng.

As mentioned before, "Detective Chinatown" was modified from the original "Detective Qin Feng" in the "Green Ivy Series".

Although the format has changed from a web drama to a movie, it still belongs to the "Green Ivy Detective Universe."

However, because it is the story of the "origin", and in order to avoid the adaptation rights agreement between the film and Leshi.com, the first part will not mention related content.

But even if we don’t mention it, we still have to prepare for the next few parts.

In the finale of the first season of "Criminal Minds", an organization called "Q" was introduced.

This organization originated from a social experiment called "Re-education Field" in the 2s, and is also the main plot of the upcoming "Psychological Crime ".

However, throughout the story of "Psychological Crimes", it has been hiding in the background, with only a few peripheral members appearing.

According to the original setting, the "Q" organization first appeared in the "Qin Feng" series of stories, which is now "Detective Chinatown".

The main purpose of this adjustment is to clarify that "Sinuo", a genius girl, is not a member of the Q organization. Although this setting has no effect in the first part, it can make it clear what "Sinuo"'s feelings towards "Qin Feng" are.

This will not only help lay the groundwork for the following films, but also allow the director to clearly know how the child actors should perform.

The actress who plays "Sinuo" is a little girl named Zhang Zifeng.

He debuted as a child star at the age of fifteen and has been in the industry for ten years.

Although he is young, his acting skills are very good, no worse than Liu Haoran.

"Hello, Brother Meng Bai."

On the filming set, Zhang Zifeng looked at Meng Bai and greeted him shyly.

Meng Bai smiled and was about to speak when Chen Sicheng beside him interrupted, "Why is this little girl so discerning? Why does she call him brother and me uncle?"

"Come on, senior brother, don't you look at your age? You are a generation older than me, and I am giving you face by not calling you uncle." Meng Bai said.

"Hey, you really don't let people call you for nothing."

Zhang Zifeng has a relatively quiet personality. She knew that the two were joking, but she just stood aside and smiled quietly without saying anything.

In fact, although this was the first time she met Meng Bai, it was not the first time she heard of his name.

"Mai Mai?" Meng Bai recalled, "Ah, it's that little girl Zhao Jinmai."

Zhang Zifeng nodded: "We filmed a drama a few months ago. When we were chatting, she talked about the previous filming."

Meng Bai suddenly realized that Zhao Jinmai was the girl who played "Liao Yafan" in "Psychological Crime 1". In the main plot of the second part, there are also many plots about this character.

When the time comes, ask the girl about her schedule, and try not to change actors in the series.

After the character setting and plot were finalized, Meng Bai had nothing to do on the crew's side.

Just as Chen Zhixi had finished his work, the two of them flew back to China together.

"When is the release date set?"

On the plane, Meng Bai lowered the business class seat partition and asked Chen Zhixi.

“The current date is set for the end of July.”

"Summer season." Meng Bai sighed, "It looks like the competition is very fierce."

The domestic film market has four major periods every year: the Spring Festival, May Day, summer vacation and National Day.

In comparison, the summer season is undoubtedly the longest and most popular.

In addition, July and August every year are "Domestic Film Protection Month", so many movies will be released during the summer vacation.

For example, the movie "So Young 2" that Li Qin was filming some time ago was also scheduled for the summer vacation.

Fortunately, her film was released in early July, and by the time "Detective Chinatown" was released, it would have been almost taken off the screen.

Otherwise, he would have to compete with Teacher Li.

Unlike Arclight Pictures, which mainly produces online dramas, Chen Zhixi's Ruyi Pictures' main business is movies.

The flight from Bangkok to Beijing North takes about four hours, and Meng Bai took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the film industry.

"Mr. Meng is also interested in the film market?"

“We will always have to contact each other in the future.”

"That makes sense. We are going to attend a movie investment exchange meeting in a few days. If you are interested, you can go and watch it together."

"What movie?"

"Do you know Wu Jing?" Chen Zhixi saw Meng Bai nod and introduced him, "He directed and acted in a movie before. He plans to start filming the sequel this year and is currently looking for investment."
