The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 585: Drama Tyrant Zhou Yi vs Drama Tyrant Jiang Wen
《Breaking news! Superstar Zhou Yi joins Chenglong's new movie! 》

"Zhou Yi's big screen debut? Chenglong's new movie killer?!"

"Confirmation from Jiang Wen: Zhou Yi's joining is true!"

"Looking ahead to 2004, the civil war between Warner Bros. Gemini?!"

"..."

If the production team had previously kept the fact that Zhou Yi had joined the series a secret, then with Jiang Wen's "letting the cat out of the bag", the news spread throughout Hong Kong and even the country at the speed of a typhoon.

A large number of investors who were eager to find Zhou Yi to join were suddenly shocked;
Countless die-hard fans of Zhou Yi were excited and delighted.

"Oh my god, it must be Brother Chenglong who has the face. He invited Zhou Yi to be the first one to shoot a movie after returning to China. In the past, few reporters reported on this, and no one believed the few related speculations."

"Nonsense, because no one believed that Zhou Yi would really agree to act in a movie. Look at how many news reports in recent years said that they wanted to invite Zhou Yi to act, but Zhou Yi didn't even give Jin Yong the face. No one would have thought that Zhou Yi would actually be persuaded this time."

"To be specific, Jin Yong didn't even give Zhou Yi face."

"Zhang Da Huzi originally wanted to invite Zhou Yi to star in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the one that was just aired yesterday. Jin Yong even came out to endorse Zhou Yi, saying that he best fits the image of the elegant young man Duan Yu in his mind, but Zhou Yi ignored it and continued to sing his own songs."

"?"

"Is Zhou Yi so fierce? That's a Jin Yong drama. That's Jin Yong."

"It's not surprising. After all, he is the famous Golden Pants. It's normal to ignore him. The reason can be found in Zhouyi Four Special."

"what's the situation?"

"It's better to make more pants to wear than to make an atomic bomb. Later, seeing that he has great influence, I thought of setting an example to appease him. After all, the atomic bomb has already been made."

"???"

"..."

Many young netizens who have not experienced the past have fully demonstrated the spirit of the Internet after verification and uploaded some of the real black materials of Cha Baoyi's past to the Internet.

As the saying goes, "everything leaves traces behind". There was no Internet in China in the 1960s, and verbal battles were waged through the distribution of newspapers. Many people in Hong Kong can easily find those newspapers that were widely circulated at that time.

The Ta Kung Pao, which had fought with Jin Yong's Ming Pao for a year and two months and denounced him as a traitor, now even has a Ta Kung Pao website, making it even easier to check past historical reports.

The bearded man was annoyed.

We are not brothers. Arguing online is fine, but why are you digging up old scores from decades ago? You are holding on to it even though you have surrendered.

What about Warner?
What about Zhouyi?
Why don't you come out and discipline this group of lawless fans of yours?
Isn't it a bit too much to bring up this matter that has been over for a long time? My "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has just started airing, can you please not mess with it?

Fearing that the war would affect him, Zhang Da Huzi had no choice but to grit his teeth and reluctantly spent a large sum of money to find a well-known independent public relations company in the industry - Zhiyu Zhile.

My buddy is here to pay protection money.

Regardless of whether you are taking advantage of the situation to stir up trouble or not, the bottom line is: stop being shady, stop being shady. People have surrendered for decades, and the right thing to do is to make as many friends as possible.

“Is there any unexpected gain from this?”

In the hotel restaurant, Zhou Yi, who was biting a toothpick, sat up straight when he heard this, his tone full of gloating.

"They pay 500 million a year, so they are rich."

Cheng Hao on the other end of the phone couldn't hide his smile as he explained the reason: "They obviously pay more attention to the direction of online public opinion than others, but Wang Xiaoyu and his team did receive a request to discredit the drama "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"..."

As a public opinion war bandit who is extremely good at hype, Zhang Da Huzi obviously knows that he has blocked the way of many people, so he simply took this opportunity to find Cheng Hao to sign up for an annual membership.

Don’t talk about independent public relations, that’s just bullshit signboard for outsiders to see.

In the eyes of this group of people with connections, they know exactly who is standing behind Wang Xiaoyu.

Zhouyi had no access to traditional channels, but Guiyi, a subsidiary of Zhouyi in the online channel, was the first to try it out and made a lot of money.

"The company behind the little girl who played Wang Yuyan in the film even opened a special order and asked Wang Xiaoyu and others to help promote her, such as saying she was the most beautiful Wang Yuyan to attract fans. They were quite generous and spent 200 million directly."

Zhou Yi was happy.

It seems to be famous indeed.

"But having said that, you do need to manage your fan base. If they are too lawless, it will be easy for something to go wrong. Then, the idol will pay the price for the fan behavior you used to say."

"Don't worry, Qian Jiang is watching. If anything crosses the red line, he will immediately stop it."

The strong cohesion of the fan circle also means that it is easy to get into trouble, but his current achievements are enough to support the existence of this fan circle. Before the second person who can achieve his achievements appears, there will not be much danger in the face-riding area.

Just be more careful not to do something as bad as Andy Lau's fans who asked their parents to sell their houses and their fathers to sell their kidneys to provide funds for chasing their idol.

That's horrible.

"Okay, then, I wish you a happy filming."

"Hehe, it must be fun. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Zhou Yi, who threw away the toothpick, was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't wait to leave the hotel.

Cai Zhuoyeon still had filming tasks to complete, so she woke up early and left to film. Only a big star like him had this privilege, and he could sleep leisurely until he woke up naturally, and then drive slowly to the crew.

At this time, the crew had just finished shooting the previous set of shots and were arranging the scene for the ending.

Jiang Wen, with a wig on his head, seemed to have less gangster tendencies. He was gesticulating at the camera and talking to Cheng Long beside him. Director Chen Musheng sat in a chair without saying a word.

"Ayi, you're here." "Brother Yi."

"Brother Yi."

"Brother Yi..."

Following a series of greetings, Zhou Yi walked into the filming site, pretended to come to Jiang Wen and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Jiang, I heard you said you wanted to find a stand-in? No way, why are you so cowardly?"

"Who told you that?" Jiang Wen glanced at him and said, "Find it out for me."

Zhou Yi put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "Of course it's the Hong Kong newspapers. They all said you were afraid."

"Watch less bullshit."

Jiang Wen always felt that this bastard seemed to be gloating over other people's misfortune and was a little confused, but he didn't take it to heart.

He only had a few scenes in his guest role, which were basically opposite Zhou Yi and the kid who played the childhood of the second male lead in the play.

"Ayi, come on, go put on some makeup and try the car out first."

Chenglong was not vague. After the greetings, he prepared to let Zhou Yi change his clothes and then get on the small truck provided by the crew.

For a truck driver, he now looked too clean.

With the enthusiastic work of the makeup artists, soon, the truck driver version of Zhou Yi, wearing light khaki overalls and a work hat, was born on the set - with a towel for wiping sweat hanging around his neck and an opened bottle of beer in his hand.

"I don't think so. We can't shoot this way. We still need to change it. I am robbing in this shot, but if we still need to show the father-son relationship, it's better to add more..."

In front of the camera, Jiang Wen, who was still pointing and gesticulating, became more and more confident as he spoke, while director Chen Musheng had a blank expression on his face.

Chenglong looked left and right, but was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

The eldest brother didn't say anything, so it was even less likely for the other people in the crew to step forward. Cai Zhuoyan even pulled Zhou Yi, who had just changed his costume, to bite his ear and whispered -

"This Jiang Wen is quite overbearing. Even if it's just a cameo role, he wants to change it according to his own ideas. He's the type who uses courtesy first and then force, gradually increasing the director's sunk costs, and finally showing his true colors to change the role. I don't think he was like this when he was a guest star before."

"He usually doesn't change his guest appearances. I guess he took it a little seriously because he was on the line with me."

Zhou Yi boasted nonchalantly, and then went to test drive the car symbolically.

"Director, Uncle Long, this car is not working well."

After sitting in the small truck prepared by the crew for two seconds, Zhou Yi quickly got out of the car without even starting it, and headed straight for the destination.

"Ok?"

"what?"

"?"

Chenglong was the first to be puzzled.

Chen Musheng, who was already upset by Jiang Wen's theory, obviously did not dare to neglect Zhou Yi. He stood up from his chair, and his first reaction was whether something had happened with the props team.

Jiang Wen instantly sensed an unfriendly atmosphere the moment Zhou Yi opened his mouth, and slowly typed a question mark.

"This truck is too small, I'm not used to driving it. You know Lao Jiang, the trucks I drive in my MVs are all big trucks, fully-insured semi-trailers, and you helped me find and modify them." Zhou Yi, whose true colors were revealed, smiled, but the smile on Jiang Wen's face disappeared in an instant.

Cheng Long was puzzled: "Big trucks? The ones you lent us before?"

Zhou Yi had indeed lent him a few trucks before, but they were not used for filming this scene.

"It's okay, just change the role and write me as a truck driver. Wouldn't it make more sense to transport goods in a hurry?"

The truck drivers of this era are all representatives of speed, so Zhou Yi's request to change the role seems reasonable.

That's right...

We have to change the script again.

The corners of Chen Musheng's eyes twitched unconsciously for a few times, and he was speechless for a moment.

No, I know you are big names and talented, but please also consider me as a director?

I make commercial films and my status is not as high as yours, but I also have my dignity!
Can the script be changed just like that?

It’s okay if one of them is a drama tyrant, but both of them are drama tyrants who want to change their roles?
Are you two sure you are here to guest star?
Jiang Wen smiled, his sharp eyes piercing Zhou Yi: "You kid, you have been waiting for me here for a long time, right?"

Zhou Yi smiled and greeted Jiang Wen with a frank look: "Old Jiang, when we were filming "In the Name of the Father", I told you that you would regret it."

"Then I'll have to change the scene even more. This heavy truck is totally unreasonable."

"It's okay, I can change it too."

"..."

Chen Musheng was numb.

Are you two using my place as a fighting arena?
He was just about to find Chenglong to talk, but found that the latter was looking at Zhou Yi and Jiang Wen with shining eyes.

Zhou Yi vs. Jiang Wen, the two drama queens quarreled like a reenactment of "In the Name of the Father"...
