Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 327 The big troll Chen Qiming
"Mr. Barry, what do you think of the movie "Anaconda"?
I’ve seen a lot of media saying that this movie will be the biggest rival to “Get Shorty” next week! "

“‘Get Shorty’ has grossed over [-] million at the box office for the second week and continues to top the weekly box office list.

Isn’t this result still convincing to you?

As for "Anaconda", to be honest, I am not optimistic about this movie.

Not every Chinese is Bruce Lee’s! "

"Haha, indeed, Chen doesn't seem to know Kung Fu!"

……

On TV, Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of "Get Shorty," is being interviewed.

When asked by the host about "Anaconda", the two started joking about it, causing the audience to laugh.

It's not funny.

At least that's the case for Chen Qiming.

He could feel the deep ridicule from the two people on TV.

What does it mean that not every Chinese is Bruce Lee?
Is this a joke or a taunt?

Are you mocking him for crossing the line?

Although I know that everywhere, people from cross-border people and people in the original industry will have ill intentions.

But in Europe and the United States, Chen Qiming is now really feeling the rejection of him by American film and television personnel.

In recent days, the promotion of "Anaconda" has begun to increase.

Various people who disliked Chen Qiming and did not want "Anaconda" to affect their own interests have jumped out one after another.

Among them, Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of "Get Shorty," was the one who danced the most.

When he was promoting "Get Shorty", he repeatedly disparaged "Anaconda" to improve the reputation and box office of "Get Shorty".

Today was just one of those times.

click!
Chen Qiming turned off the TV and was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

He didn't know why Barry Sonnenfeld grabbed and stomped on "Anaconda".

But what I have to say is that with the disparagement of him and several other Hollywood movie stars who have belittled "Anaconda" in the past few days, the attention of the film "Anaconda" is visibly beginning to increase. stand up.

It may not be as popular as "The American President" and "007 GoldenEye," which is well-known across the United States, but among other movies of the same period, "Anaconda" is far ahead in popularity.

This is definitely a good thing for "Anaconda".

but……

Regarding Barry Sonnenfeld's various remarks, Chen Qiming did not intend to tolerate him.

He chose to scold directly!
"I don't know where I offended Barry.

To be honest, I respected him a lot before, and his "The Addams Family" was really good.

It's a pity that art cannot be linked to character. In my opinion, Barry's education is really poor.

He just makes me sick! "

There was no rhetoric or cover-up. When reporters asked Barry about his comments the next day, he directly cursed.

Although when Chen Qiming came to Hollywood to develop, his colleagues and friends in Hong Kong and Taiwan all told Chen Qiming to keep a low profile. After all, he is an outsider in the United States.

But this does not mean that Chen Qiming has to behave like a grandson.

You're allowed to belittle me, but I can't scold you?
This is America, a country where the manifesto is free speech.

In this case, why should I let you go?

Moreover, to be honest, Chen Qiming is not the kind of person who can be bullied casually.

He has a large number of loyal fans in the United States.

He has a lot of endorsements and is a top figure in the music industry.

Barry Sonnenfeld's new movie is indeed a box office hit, but this does not mean that his status is higher than that of Chen Qiming.

To put it bluntly, when it comes to fighting, it’s still unclear who will win and who will lose!

Therefore, Chen Qiming didn't tolerate him at all and complained directly in front of the media.

This should be the first time that Chen Qiming has trolled people like this.

Not only in the United States, but even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he has basically never done this.

The only time he ever trolled someone was Huang Paopao.

And that time it was just a vague squirt.

Because it had never happened before, when Chen Qiming's words were reported by the media, they immediately caused an uproar in the United States.

That afternoon, Chen Qiming's words about Barry made headlines in major newspapers.

[Jamie Chen scolded Barry for being uneducated]

["Anaconda" and "Get Shorty" haven't even collided yet, but the creators of the two movies have begun to be at odds with each other]

[Chen Qiming: Barry makes me feel sick]

……

Night falls.

In a villa in Beverly Hills.

Barry stirred on the bed like an earthworm.

Ding ling ling ling...

Startled by the ringing, Barry's body jerked.

"Fake!"

Barry angrily answered the phone on the bedside.

"Ike, if you don't give me an explanation, I will fire you tomorrow!"

The caller was Barry's agent.

Unlike in Hong Kong and Taiwan, in Europe and the United States, directors also have agents.

The agent will help them with a lot of things.

"Barry, I told you not to mess with that Chinese guy. Now, here comes the trouble!"

Ike on the phone ignored Barry's roar and said gloomily.

Barry could feel Ike's suppressed anger, and he took a deep breath, "What happened?"

Chinese!
Barry knew who Ike was talking about.

There is no doubt that it is Chen Qiming.

“The Chinese man was not like other Chinese men, he didn’t pretend not to know anything.

Just today, he publicly attacked you during a media interview!
Now, the whole United States is reporting on this!

Man, you're on fire, for being scolded!

You'd better find a newspaper and read it carefully.

In addition, it is best not to go out recently, that Chinese fan is not easy to mess with.

You were a thorn in their side before, but now that Jamie Chen is attacking you openly, they will become unscrupulous. "

After Ike finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

To be honest, he was angry.

A few days ago, he attended a circle party with Barry.

At the party, they met David Fincher.

This year's "Seven" directed by David Fincher was not only a box office hit, but also a huge hit in terms of reputation.

This made David Fincher very popular in the circle.

At that time, Barry went up to him and chatted with him for a while.

Since the chat was quite enjoyable, David Fincher gave them a heads up and told them that "Anaconda" should not be underestimated.

I have seen this movie on Warner Bros. and the quality of the movie is very good.

David Fincher's reminder caught both of their minds.

Two days ago, when Warner organized another internal movie viewing, he and Barry went to see the movie through their relationship.

After watching this movie, Barry came to the conclusion that this drama may really become the next biggest opponent of "Get Shorty".

As we all know, box office is a typical product where you are high and I am low.

Barry knew that if "Anaconda" really took off, his "Get Shorty" would definitely be affected.

Therefore, despite Ike's firm opposition, he still chose to personally come forward to suppress the film.

Not only did he frequently disparage the film in the media, he also used his connections in the industry to suppress the film.

To be honest, this approach seems extremely unwise to Ike.

Whether a movie is good or not doesn't mean it's bad just because someone says it's bad.Barry's approach will, at best, lower the early reputation of "Anaconda".

But after this movie is released, if the audience really likes it, the reputation and box office will definitely increase immediately.

Therefore, Ike strongly opposed Barry's thankless work.

But unfortunately, Barry did not listen to him and chose to belittle "Anaconda" and its star Chen Qiming on various programs.

Originally, what Barry did was stupid.

Well now, Chen Qiming fought back.

This Chinese man was not as cowardly as the Chinese people they usually encountered, and he had no awareness that he was just praising a star in the world. He actually started talking directly.

Ike is not afraid of tearing apart.

He was afraid of tearing it apart, but he didn't want to stir up the popularity of "Anaconda".

Warner didn't seem to pay much attention to the movie.

What would Warner do if this movie suddenly became popular?
Don't make money?
This is obviously impossible.

According to Ike's estimation, as long as the popularity of "Anaconda" increases, Warner will definitely step up its resources to promote it.

As a result, it will definitely be more difficult for "Dwarfs".

"Damn Chinese!"

After Barry hung up the phone, he immediately went out and took out the newspaper from the mailbox at the door.

In fact, he reads newspapers every day.

To this end, he ordered a large number of famous newspapers in Los Angeles.

It's just that today, the black girl in the house liked him so much that he stayed at home for the whole day and didn't come out.

"Fake, Fake!"

When Barry returned to the house and opened the newspaper, he was furious.

"Jamie Chen: Barry is a disgusting person"

With just one newspaper, Barry couldn't help but start cursing.

In recent times, due to Chapo's box office success, his net worth has doubled and he has successfully gained a place in Hollywood.

During this period, the people he met were basically all flattering to him.

Even a great director like Cameron would stop and chat with him after seeing him.

Now, a Chinese actually cursed him directly in a newspaper, which made him suffer.

The angry Barry barely hesitated, picked up the phone and contacted several familiar newspaper companies.

He was going to hold a press conference, and he wanted Chen Qiming to know that Barry was not someone to be trifled with.

……

At the same time, the same Beverly Hills, the same villa.

But the space of this villa is more than twice as large as Barry's.

In the villa, Chen Qiming was lying on the sofa with a phone in his hand.

Mi Li lay in front of him and worked hard.

"Chen, you are too impulsive! You will cost us a lot of viewers. They won't like someone who disrespects their predecessors.

And he’s an Asian! "

On the phone, James, who is responsible for the promotion of "Anaconda" at Warner, was expressing his dissatisfaction with Chen Qiming's impulsiveness today.

“James, I don’t want to dwell on this issue.

The reason for today's situation is partly because of you.

Barry is trashing our movie, but you are doing nothing.

To be honest, I am very disappointed with you. I will suggest to Steven tomorrow that you should be replaced. You are not suitable to be the publicity director of "Anaconda"! "

Chen Qiming interrupted James directly and said in a gloomy tone.

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Mi Li, who was working, couldn't help but look at Chen Qiming in disbelief.

That's Warner, Warner's publicity manager.

Chen Qiming didn't give him any face at all?
In just a moment, Mi Li worked harder.

In the past, she only knew that Chen Qiming had cooperated with Warner.

But she always thought that Chen Qiming's cooperation with Warner was actually dependent on Warner.

But now, from Chen Qiming's tone, she felt that Chen Qiming didn't care about James, and he would replace James with just one sentence.

Why is this!

There is only one reason why Chen Qiming is valued more highly at Warner Bros.

Previously, tabloids had been reporting that Chen Qiming had a good relationship with Time Warner CEO Steven.

Now it seems that this news may not be groundless.

The thought that Chen Qiming could actually talk to the CEO of Time Warner made Mi Li feel hot and wanted to pee right away.

She knew that as long as nothing unexpected happened, she would be prosperous...

"you……"

James on the phone didn't expect that Chen Qiming would actually talk to him like this. He was immediately angry and was about to teach Chen Qiming a lesson like he scolded other actors or directors.

But Chen Qiming didn't wait for him to speak and interrupted him again, "Just wait for Steven to call you! I've really had enough of you!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

call……

After scolding James angrily, Chen Qiming felt much more comfortable.

Well, of course the rice grains are also responsible.

As for James, to be honest, Chen Qiming has long wanted to criticize him.

After this guy took over the promotion of "Anaconda".

Damn it, it basically has no effect at all.

Moreover, this guy doesn't care about "Anaconda" at all.

When Barry's side continued to denigrate the film, he not only couldn't deal with it.

He actually kept telling Chen Qiming not to talk nonsense.

To be honest, Chen Qiming is really fed up with this guy.

Anyway, Chen Qiming has decided.

Anyway, I have already sprayed Barry, and everyone knows it.

In this case, he might as well let go and have a good scolding showdown with Barry.

Well, he decided to use it to promote Anaconda.

Now, it depends on how Barry responds.

Anyway, he really hoped that Barry would curse him in the media and newspapers.

It takes two people to start this fight.

He didn't want Barry to say nothing and leave him alone to stare.

As for James.

This bastard came and went, he didn't want to see him at all.

If Steven doesn't transfer him.

That's even better, it proves that his fate with Warner has come to an end.

Not only will he find ways to break away from Warner's record cooperation, but he will also give up film and television cooperation with it.

As the saying goes, if you don’t leave me here, I will leave you somewhere.

Not to mention that many companies in the United States are now interested in him.

Even if not.

With the Asian market, he is already in an invincible position.

And are there any American companies that are not interested in him?

Obviously it is impossible.

A singer who could rival Michael Jackson in the music scene in 1995!
What record company wouldn’t be jealous?
Now, as long as Chen Qiming wants to change jobs, let alone liquidated damages, even if he pays Chen Qiming tens of millions in private, I'm afraid someone will agree.

Of course, Chen Qiming still doesn't want to change jobs unless he has to.

Job hopping is too demeaning.
