Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 242 I bet there is no bullet in your gun! Female star in the circle: This is God

"You'll know what to do when you get to Changsha." Zhang Yang's lips curled slightly: "I have informed Mr. He. He was a little hesitant at first, but now he is definitely willing to help you settle the matter."

Mo Xiangwan: “.”

This bastard boss is really speechless as he keeps her in suspense.

"What do you want Xiang Wan to do?"

After Zhang Yang hung up the phone, Gao Yuanyuan hugged him from behind.

"Yu Zhen is causing trouble again, so I'm going to give him a gift." Zhang Yang turned around and hugged Gao Yuanyuan, but he didn't hide it: "I'm going to steal his winter vacation time."

"Winter vacation?" Gao Yuanyuan blinked and thought to herself that her man was really capable.

People outside the industry may not know that it is very difficult to start filming a TV series. It requires the script to be reviewed, the project to be established, investment to be attracted, actors to be recruited, etc.

After a TV series is successfully produced, it is very difficult to broadcast it. It may be postponed for a few years, or it may be broadcast on local TV stations at a low price.

When a TV series is broadcast on satellite TV, it has already defeated 90% of TV series. Satellite TV stations are also divided into different levels. The most famous ones are Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Oriental (Magic City) Satellite TV.

The TV dramas broadcast by major satellite TV stations are divided into prime time and prime time slots.

For example, during the period before and after winter vacation and summer vacation, we will choose to broadcast TV series that we are more optimistic about in order to maximize exposure.

TV dramas and film and television companies that are able to participate in the competition during this time period already have a certain status and connections in the circle, and the quality of their TV dramas will not be low.

"Given your current popularity and status, it seems that it's not easy to compete from what you said just now?" Gao Yuanyuan wondered.

"That's normal. After all, my opponent is Yu Zhen, and the TV series I want to arrange is a project that was finalized before." Zhang Yang smiled faintly.

The TV series he was going to arrange was "The Female Prime Minister", which was originally called "The Legend of Lu Zhen". It was scheduled to be broadcast on May 5, which happened to be between the winter and summer vacations. It was the least likely to achieve good results, but it was the most promising.

Since this TV series is currently produced by Chen Hai, which is even less famous than Yu Yuzhen's studio, although it was successfully broadcast on TV under the influence of Gao Xi and Perfect Film and Television, the schedule arrangement is not very good.

Although Yu Zhen is a bad guy with constant negative news and is boycotted by countless people, the TV series he has filmed in recent years have performed well.

"Palace" is a phenomenon, and "Palace 2" also has high ratings. For Mango TV, which has a capital mentality that only seeks profits, it is an excellent partner.

Unless there are a series of bloody scenes in the TV series or crimes involving stepping on a sewing machine, it is unlikely that Yu Zhen will be forgotten.

But Zhang Yang didn't mind lending him a hand.

"Mango TV has scheduled a Yuzhen version of 'Swordsman' on February 2th, and I want to grab it."

“It was a little difficult at first, but now.”

Zhang Yang showed an expectant expression.

More than an hour later, Zhang Yang brought a few women to the crew.

Zhao Liying looked indignant, which made him laugh: "Isn't it good to upgrade you from a minor supporting role to a small supporting role?"

"You are kidding me." Zhao Liying raised her chin slightly. "Although your ex-wife had few scenes, her few scenes were very impressive and had a great influence on the male lead. She had a more three-dimensional image in the whole movie."

"Now you assign me the role of a rookie detective. I do have more roles to play, but more just means more face time."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Then should I reject Pang Bing, or let you play my ex-wife?"

"Don't." Zhao Liying shook her head: "I just feel sorry that I didn't get the role, but that role is indeed more suitable for Teacher Pang Bing. Her fame and influence are also better for this movie. I can tell the big and small things clearly."

"Open-minded!" Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up: "For this, wait for me to arrange a movie heroine for you to go to the three major European countries to have fun."

Zhao Liying rolled her eyes and said, "Can you please stop telling me about your ability to make promises anytime, anywhere? Given our relationship, do we need to say this?"

"Sister Liying, what is your relationship with the senior?" Reba blinked innocently, "Aren't we both employees like me?"

Zhao Liying: “.”

"Haha, right." Zhang Yang gave Reba a thumbs up, then said, "I'm not just making empty promises. When I said Lost in Thailand could earn 1 billion, many people thought I was crazy, but what's the reality?"

"You really have excellent taste." Zhao Liying's fair face flushed slightly.

The first Chinese movie to gross over 1 billion yuan had an investment cost of less than 30 million yuan, but Zhang Yang was able to earn hundreds of millions. How great is this ability! ?
As a woman, she admired and delighted him from the bottom of her heart, after all, he was her man.

"Yeah, if I had poor taste, I wouldn't be interested in you. Reba and Yitong, sign you into the company." Zhang Yang lowered his eyes and smiled.

Zhao Liying couldn't help but smile: "I like to hear that."

After being PUAed by Zhang Yang so much, she also feels that she will definitely become famous in the future.

“Let’s start filming!”

Zhang Yang came to Diao Yinan and started shooting the first scene of the day.

Today he filmed the scene where he first met Gao Yuanyuan, who plays the female lead.

It’s simple but it tests your acting skills, and what’s needed is naturalness.

Zhang Yang didn't shave in order to maintain the image of a middle-aged man. After putting on makeup to make himself look slightly fat, he began to perform.

His acting skills are naturally flawless, especially his eye acting which made Diao Yinan exclaim that it was brilliant.

"Zhang Yang is a natural actor." Diao Yinan said excitedly: "It is only a matter of time before he wins the Best Actor trophy. If he encounters a good work, he may even set a record."

Upon hearing this, one of Diao Yinan’s best friends and producers laughed and said, “Isn’t your Black Coal, Thin Ice a good work?”

A gleam of light flashed in the depths of Diao Yinan's eyes, and he thought that maybe he could find a way to make Zhang Yang the best actor?

He wants to strive for greater perfection in this play.

Time passed quickly and it was afternoon. Li Yitong handed the phone to Zhang Yang.

He thought it was Mo Xiangwan calling because she had already arrived in Changsha, but when he looked at the caller ID he found it was Wang Changtian.

"Hello, Mr. Wang." Zhang Yang said in a relaxed tone: "Are you looking for me to reminisce about the past and the profits of Lost in Thailand, or do you have a project to take me on?"

"Ayang, you are really not nervous at all." Wang Changtian laughed and scolded: "The Internet is now a hot mess. You are the person in charge of publicity and public relations this time, can't you solve it?"

"People are giving us popularity, so we have to let it fly for a while so that more people can discuss our movie and keep the popularity going." Zhang Yang laughed.

Wang Changtian exchanged glances with Xu Shanzheng, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and asked, "This matter is not easy to judge. I have asked the Sales Department. If the other party believes that we have engaged in unfair competition, it is possible that we will win the case."

"If the uninformed masses saw this, they might really think we stole their script!"

Wang Changtian was also a little upset about this matter.

The main reason is that the people below took advantage of the popularity of "Lost on Journey" for convenience during the promotion, and even the official account said that this was the second part of "Lost on Journey".

Later, when "Lost in Thailand" became a hit, the official account deleted the corresponding promotional content, but the Internet has memory and the evidence has been intercepted.

The solid evidence is here. "Lost in Thailand" is indeed using the name of "Lost on Journey Part II" to ride on the popularity of the other film.

The other party wants to sue all their investors for unfair competition, and they will win every time.

Even because the full name of Lost in Thailand is "Lost in Thailand", the copyright of the name may have been infringed.

There is an unspoken rule in lawsuits, which is called "there is a case to rely on". This means that if there is a case with similar circumstances in a lawsuit, it will be directly used as a reference for the final decision.

If Huaqi succeeds in suing one of them, it is possible that it will win the lawsuit against the second one. Then the recruitment of "Lost in Thailand" may be ruined, and the good results will be tainted.

They are planning to continue the "Lost" series. With "Lost in Thailand" being such a success, the third film is sure to make money.

Wuhan Huaqi has set them up, making them want to just pay money to settle the matter.

"So Huaqi is gambling~"

Zhang Yang suddenly realized something and curled his lips slightly: "Don't worry, they can't win the lawsuit at all."

"Don't say that Guangguang accidentally said that our movie was the second part during the promotion. It would be fine even if they said it directly." "It's just that things have come to this point. There is really no need to promote it like this. Instead, it gives the other party an advantage."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian and Xu Shanzheng looked at each other, and Tao Hong beside them also showed a surprised expression.

Where does Zhang Yang's confidence come from?
The next moment, they got the answer.

"After we signed the contract, I felt that it was inappropriate for the senior to start filming directly. What if Huaqi accused him of fraud and it would affect the reputation? So I privately spent 200,000 to buy the adaptation rights."

"That is, because my Chen Hai participated in the investment of Lost in Thailand, it is completely fine to call it the second movie in the Lost series."

"Lawsuit? They can't win!"

Wang Changtian and others: !!!

Wow, Zhang Yang even got the authorization for the adaptation.

This is not about taking one step at a time, but looking ten steps ahead before taking a single step.

So reliable!

"As for Huaqi's complaint, I can just publish the contract online later and it will be settled. This is just a wave of free traffic for us."

"Don't be in a hurry to dispel the rumors or confront them. I still want to see what monsters will come out."

Upon hearing this, Wang Changtian and Xu Shanzheng immediately said that there was no problem.

But Wang Changtian was a little confused: "Since you have the rights to adapt, Huaqi should know about it, so why do you still want to sue?"

"Why?" Zhang Yang laughed: "I was also confused before, but now I understand."

"Except for Lost on Journey, they don't have any outstanding works. They are a small company."

"The senior has such a great success with Lost in Thailand, how could they not be jealous and want to have a piece of the pie?"

"Whether there are birds or not, we should just shoot first. We are making a lot of money now. If we compromise with them out of fear of being affected, they can give us a share of the money."

"If I clarify in time, they can say there was a communication problem and successfully take advantage of the popularity."

"And it also tells the public and the entertainment industry that the copyright of the "囧" series is in their hands."

“If anyone wants to take advantage of the popularity of Lost in Thailand, they can also work with them.”

"I won't lose anything no matter what I do. At most I'll just have to pay some legal fees~"

In short, Wuhan Huaqi's online complaints and threats to sue are all just slogans, such as "seeking justice", "getting justice", "protecting copyright", etc. They never thought they could be realized. They are simply trying to take advantage of the popularity of "Lost in Thailand".

Not to mention that Zhang Yang only obtained the adaptation authorization, even if he bought all the copyrights, they would also speak out.

The difference lies in the method, approach and time.

"Besides, there is this guy Yu Zhen who is busy behind the scenes."

"But you definitely don't know the truth. You don't know that you are the one being used as a gun."

"Not only did I lose my wife, but I also lost my soldiers."

Zhang Yang smiled faintly and continued to immerse himself in filming.

At this time, Yu Zhen spoke directly on Weibo.

[Yu Zhen V]: <Repost Wuhan Huaqi> @Zhang Yang, I believe the leader of the Justice League is definitely not aware of this matter, otherwise he would never stand on the side of those who "break the law". Please quickly draw a clear line between yourself and the lawbreakers and do justice.

Yu Zhen originally did not intend to post a message. What he wanted was to secretly do something behind the scenes. After all, it would harm others and not benefit himself, and he just wanted to vent his anger.

But people from Wuhan Huaqi told him that an employee "accidentally" leaked his information.

Zhang Yang and Guangguang must have known the role he played behind the scenes.

There was no need to hide anymore, and since Wuhan Huaqi promised to cooperate with him on the "Lost in Russia" series of movies, he took the initiative to charge forward.

Of course, he didn't rush forward alone, he also called Du Chun, Li Cheng, Jia Naian and others to join him.

There is strength in numbers, and the news spread quickly.

Yu Zhen went to the comment section to have some fun, but what he saw made him confused.

[Yu Zhen, Du Chun, Li Cheng, Jia Naian, what a familiar configuration. ]

【Seeing you, I suddenly put a question mark on this matter. 】

[When Wuhan Huaqi came out and said it was going to sue, I chose to believe it without any doubt, but now I am suspicious.]

Not really. On the contrary, I believe in its authenticity even more. It is clear that this matter is true, and then these people who have a grudge against Zhang Yang deliberately stir up trouble and want to take the opportunity to step on Zhang Yang. 】

[That’s right, these people have no vested interest in Wuhan Huaqi, and this is definitely not another case of collective bullying or backstabbing. They are just adding insult to injury.]

[I understand. Wuhan Huaqi has the confidence. These people have not changed their old habits. They once again come out to take advantage of the situation and drag down their opponents under the pretext of upholding justice.]

[In short, they defend what is just and what is unjust, and they also defend what is unjust, mainly to attract attention.]

[Quit the circle, quit the circle, boycott the works of Yu Zhen and all the members who are stabbing you! ]

[Zhang Yangzheng is really evil. I don't believe he broke the law. He must have been deceived. Wait for an explanation.]

【.】

Yu Zhen, Du Chun and others: "."

What you should condemn now is Zhang Yang and all those who have profited from Lost in Thailand.

Why are you all here to blacken us, scold us, and boycott us! ?

"Navy troops, they must all be Zhang Yang's navy." Yu Zhen angrily threw another cup away.

At this time, famous female celebrities in the circle were also watching and eating melons.

Seeing the style of discussion on the Internet, everyone was shocked.

In this situation, a group of people were actually cursing Yu Zhen and others.

Zhang Yang was not affected, but instead received praise and expectations.

Is this how the entertainment industry works?
"Why don't you go and learn from Zhang Yang for a few more years?" Pang Bing asked Yang Tianzhen.

Yang Tianzhen: “.”

My boss wants to poach me.

And that's not the end.

Soon, Zhang Yang posted a blog.

[Zhang Yang V]: I can sue you, but I am suing you for misleading public opinion and maliciously framing and slandering me!

<Authorization Contract><Transfer Certificate>
When he finished reading it all, Yu Zhen's eyes went dark.

"what!"

The unconscious Yu Zhen fell on the broken cup residue, his buttocks and hands were bleeding, and he woke up suddenly.

Yuan Shanshan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, rushed in immediately and screamed after seeing the situation inside the house.

"Oh no, the boss committed suicide!"
