It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 921: The director’s wife who “guards the marriage like jade”?

Some news within the film and television industry did not attract much attention from the outside world.

In the eyes of netizens, whether "Rock Mastiff" can make money or not has nothing to do with them.

If your movie is good, people will naturally go to see it.

But if your movie is not well made, then people will naturally not waste dozens of dollars to watch a terrible movie.

In the evening, Chen Fei left the company early and went to a movie theater near his home.

At noon, Liu Yifei said that she wanted to watch the movie "Lu Yao Zhi Mali" starring Zhu Yawen, and specifically asked Chen Fei to go with her.

Chen Fei would naturally not refuse this request.

To be honest, he was actually quite curious about Zhu Yawen's performance in this movie, because as far as he knew, this guy played a sissy role!

It is really hard to imagine what it is like for a person who is full of masculinity in daily life to play a sissy.
However, what made Chen Fei speechless was that when he walked into the cinema, he saw two big light bulbs following Liu Yifei.

Looking around, Shu Chang and Han Jianu, two greedy girls, were each holding a popcorn bucket and staring at Liu Yifei who was buying tickets.

Fade Chen walked closer and looked at the two of them with disdain: "Why are you two here too?"

"Hey, I'll be the light bulb." Shu Chang curled the corners of his mouth provocatively, with a very proud expression.

"Me too, me too!" Han Jianu also spoke enthusiastically, with an attitude like a model student.

Chen Fei rolled his eyes at the two of them, walked up to take the movie ticket from Liu Yifei, and led her to the theater while complaining about the two of them: "Two single dogs!"

"cut!"

The two of them expressed their dissatisfaction in unison.

After entering the cinema, in order to "retaliate" against Chen Fei, Shu Chang forcibly separated the two of them into two seats, and together with Han Jianu, separated them far away.

"Next time you go out on a date, don't bring them along. They give me a headache just looking at them." Fade Chen complained speechlessly.

"Hehehe..." Liu Yifei kept laughing and seemed to be in a very good mood.

The film started showing soon.

As a romantic comedy, the story of "Lu Yao Zhi Mali" is easy to understand.

The film mainly tells the story of Lu Yao, played by Bao Bei'er, who meets his kindergarten classmate Ma Li (played by Song Jia) again when he is in college. They have a mutual affection for each other, and in the process of testing each other, a series of ridiculous stories arise.

As for Zhu Yawen, he played the role of a "love expert" and had a flash marriage with Jiao Junyan, who played Fang Huihui in the movie.

The group came here mainly to see the character Zhu Yawen.

Looking at Zhu Yawen, who was wearing black earrings and dressed in a coquettish manner, Shu Chang was the first to sigh: "Tsk tsk?! I didn't expect it! He is really good at playing a sissy."

"Yeah, indeed, I can use this character to make fun of him in the future, hehe~"

Liu Yifei nodded, and then when she saw the passionate scene, she couldn't help but secretly glanced at Chen Fei for a moment.

It seems... it seems... that they are like this every night?

I didn't realize it when I was actually doing it, but now I feel so embarrassed when I watch others perform it!
More than an hour passed quickly, and when the movie subtitles were about to appear, several people silently lowered their heads and left the theater.

If they leave too late, they may be recognized by other audience members, so in general, they will leave the theater before the lights come on.

The corridor was dark and the four people were walking quickly and hurriedly.

However, at this moment, two dark shadows suddenly walked out hurriedly from the aisle of another theater nearby.

Chen Fei was quick-witted and quickly pulled Shu Chang, who was walking in front, to avoid a collision between the two sides.

"I'm sorry!"

"sorry."

Both parties apologized at the same time, and then froze in silence.

"Hey? Director Gu... Director Gu?"

At this moment, Chen Fei's face was full of surprise.

He had good eyesight, and combined with the voice and the man's eyes, facial features, and body shape, he easily recognized the other person.

Even though the other party was wearing a mask, he was still very sure that the man opposite him was definitely Gu Changwei!
As for the person holding hands with Gu Changwei next to them, you don’t have to guess to know that it definitely can’t be Jiang Wenli!

So who else could it be other than Jiang Wenli?
"Director Chen? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you guys in the cinema."

As soon as this familiar voice came out, a name instantly appeared in Chen Fei's mind.

"Zhang Jinchu?"

"Yes, Director Chen, it's me."

While answering, Zhang Jinchu had already taken off the mask on his face, but his other hand was still tightly holding Gu Changwei's, with no sign of letting go.

"Ahem... Director Chen... Director Chen, what a coincidence..."

Director Gu was almost embarrassed to the point of feeling ashamed.

As a married man, it would have been fine for him to bring his lover to the movies, but he was caught by his colleagues in the same profession. This is too fucking outrageous!
"Director Gu, you're in such a refined mood?" Chen Fei smiled, his tone full of teasing.

Just at this moment, the lights in the corridor came on, and faint discussions were heard in the two theaters on the left and right.

Several people quickly put on masks.

Gu Changwei was afraid of being caught, so he was in a hurry to leave. He stared at Chen Fei with complicated eyes and said softly, "Director Chen, the current situation is not suitable for us to chat..."

Chen Fei understood immediately: "Then I won't delay Director Gu."

"Hey, okay! Okay!"

Gu Changwei quickly responded and pulled Zhang Jinchu out.

At this moment, Chen Fei's voice sounded from behind the two of them: "Director Gu, don't worry, I won't go out and say anything."

Gu Changwei staggered and almost fell down.

"Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Jinchu was a little annoyed, because he was obviously not someone who was afraid of being in the spotlight.

Moreover, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli have actually not lived together for a long time. They are just doing their own things, which is so cool.

She has wanted to get promoted for a long time, but she just couldn't find a good opportunity.

Anyway, she didn't mind being discovered by the paparazzi, so she was naturally very calm. But Gu Changwei didn't know what concerns he had, so the two of them always looked like they were having a secret affair.

Not long after the two left, Chen Fei took Liu Yifei's hand and led Shu Chang and Han Jianu out of the cinema.

After getting into the Maybach driven by Chen Fei, the girls immediately started chattering and gossiping.

"Wow! Big news! Shocking news! Gu Changwei and Zhang Jinchu actually went to the movies hand in hand? If this gets out, it will definitely be number one on the trending search list!"

Seeing Han Jianu's shocked look, Fade Chen glared at her and said, "What a fuss."

Shu Chang was like a paparazzi at this moment, lowering his voice and saying, "Jia Nu, you entered the industry late, you don't know that Jiang Wenli united the wives of directors in the entire film and television industry to jointly ban Zhang Jinchu."

"Ah? There is such a thing? Then why is she back again?"

Zhang Jinchu has been quite active in the mainland recently. She starred in the movie "The Quick and the Furious" which was released today and was controlled by Wanda.

No wonder Han Jianuo was so curious.

How come an actress who was jointly banned by directors' wives came back to the mainland?
"Why don't you ask Chen Fei? He knows it best. He's from the director circle."

In an instant, the three people in the car all looked over here.

"Do you even need to ask that?" Chen Fei complained as he turned the steering wheel, "Director Gu has a lot of connections in the mainland, and besides him, there are also many other big directors and producers who help Zhang Jinchu privately."

When an actress with good acting skills, high emotional intelligence, high IQ, willingness to sacrifice herself, and a healthy diet appears in the film and television industry, it is easy for her to become popular.

Therefore, although Zhang Jinchu offended many directors' wives, she was still doing well even after going to the Hong Kong circle.

This time she returned to the mainland again and joined forces with Wanda. It must be that some big boss is behind her supporting her.

However, just as Chen Fei was sighing, Liu Yifei suddenly threw a fatal question at him from the co-pilot seat! "I see you are quite familiar with her?"

Han Jianu and Shu Chang, who were laughing and joking in the back seat, suddenly fell silent and looked ahead with great interest.

Chen Fei's heart was filled with alarm!

But at this moment, he did not panic, but responded calmly: "I am not familiar with her, we don't even have contact information, we just met at some activities."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

The tense atmosphere in the car suddenly eased a lot.

In the back seat, Han Jianv, who has a high emotional intelligence, quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Director Chen, is your schedule full in the second half of the year?"

Chen Fei shook his head: "No, I haven't taken any other work yet. The post-production of Operation Red Sea is not finished yet."

“About how many months will it take?”

"Around the end of this month."

"Oh! Good!" Han Jianu was delighted and whispered, "The time is just about right..."

"What did you say?"

"It's okay, it's okay, let's wait until the end of the month, I'll give you a surprise then, hehe."

Chen Fei glanced at Han Jianu in the back seat through the rearview mirror, her eyes were sly, and he couldn't help but complain about her: "What evil idea are you up to now?"

"Hehe, if I don't tell you now, I'll scare you later!"

……

By the morning of the 16th, the box office figures of several films that had just been released the day before had all been released.

It's a pity that "The Quick and the Furious", which Wanda had high hopes for and allocated the most screenings to, only earned 1568.45 million yuan on its first day of release.

This first-day box office data is obviously inconsistent with the high screening schedule it enjoys.

Let’s look at the movie “Lu Yao Zhi Mali” produced by Huayi again. The box office on the first day reached 3341 million, successfully winning No. 1 on the box office list of the day!

Here, problems arise.

You know, the screening schedule of "The Quick and the Furious" is higher than that of "Lu Yao Zhi Mali".

However, although the number of screenings increased, the box office actually decreased. This is obviously wrong!

After a little inquiry, Chen Fei discovered that this movie was actually targeted!
And it was Huayi who took action.

You know, Huayi also has cinema chains under its umbrella, and after suffering the blow of "Rock Mastiff", Wang Zhonglei will naturally not sit idly by.

It happened that Wanda's film "The Quick and the Furious" was released at that time, so Huayi's theaters directly gave it the lowest screening schedule.

In addition, on the day the film was officially released, a large number of internet trolls appeared on platforms such as Douban and Maoyan to post negative reviews.

This resulted in "The Quick and the Furious" receiving extremely poor word-of-mouth online, which directly affected the film's first-day box office performance.

After all, a movie ticket costs dozens of dollars, which is not a small amount of money for many people.

Spending dozens of dollars to watch a bad movie is obviously a very irrational behavior.

The reputation of "The Quick and the Furious" on the Internet was terrible, so it naturally lost a lot of viewers.

Based on this, Huayi’s counterattack can be regarded as a slap in Wanda’s face!
"Tsk tsk, interesting, really interesting, are the two families starting to argue with each other now?"

In the office, Fade Chen was eating melon.

He was quite curious and didn't know who would be the winner in the end after the two companies officially competed.

As for shaking hands and making peace, it's probably impossible. Big Wang has lost so much face, how could he just let it go?

In addition to this incident which has attracted a lot of attention in the circle, the most popular thing on the Internet this morning was the late-night date between director Gu Da and Zhang Jinchu.

Although the two hid well, they were still photographed by the paparazzi.

Once the photos and videos of them eating, dating, and staying in a hotel together were released, they immediately attracted attention and heated discussions from the entire Internet!

Although Jiang Wenli did not respond publicly, she forwarded a promotional copy of the TV series "Guarding Marriage Like Jade" in which she starred.

"In a sense, jade is highly consistent with the essence of marriage. 'Guarding marriage like jade' is not only a beautiful ideal, but also a positive view of marriage and love and values ​​that a harmonious society should advocate in today's high divorce rate..."

Driven by the media, this elderly couple, both in their 60s, were subject to controversy and public opinion for a time.

The wave of popularity caused by the two people successfully helped the crew of "No Other Love", and successfully made the latter disappear in the public opinion attack.

However, the follow-up impact caused by the casting incident of "No Other Love" has not completely subsided.

Actors, directors, and those who took sides, no matter what the final outcome is, at least they have all retired now.

But Weibo, which once acted as an "accomplice", cannot escape blame!
For nearly a week, Cao Guowei has been "drinking tea" everywhere and busying himself with the incident of deleting the Gongqingtuan article on Weibo.

After leaving the last company that invited him to "have tea", the first thing he did as he got into the car with a haggard look on his face was to let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Weibo is a Chinese social platform listed on the US stock market and has a market value of tens of billions.

The country still needs Weibo at present, so we did not kill him with one blow, but gave Cao Guowei a chance to correct his mistakes.

"Go back to the company first." After instructing the driver, Cao Guowei took out his cell phone and called his secretary: "Make arrangements and prepare to hold a shareholders' meeting... No, call all the executives back first, and move a printer to the conference room. I want them to write their resignation reports in front of me!"

Cao Guowei has always felt that he is bold enough, otherwise he would not have become the helmsman of Weibo.

But he really didn't expect that there were people in the company who were braver than him!

They even dared to secretly delete the articles published by the Gongqingtuan without telling him. If he doesn't clear these people out quickly, who knows how much trouble he will get into in the future!
"And Alibaba and those Taiwanese investors, all get out of here!"

……

Three days passed quietly.

On the morning of the 18th, on the way to attend the premiere of the movie "Skiptrace" starring Chen Long, Chen Fei saw several reports on the box office performance of theater movies on Weibo.

"The comedy and action film "The Bounty Hunters," produced by LeEco Pictures and starring Lee Min Ho, Zhong Hanliang, and Tang Yan, has been officially withdrawn from theaters due to exhaustion of its box office potential. The box office closed at 2.13 million RMB."

"The Hollywood blockbuster Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows was taken off the screen yesterday, with a box office of 2 million yuan."

"The animated film Rock Mastiff, which was produced by Huayi and cost 3.6 million RMB, has been forced to be withdrawn from the screen due to exhaustion of its box office potential. The film has been released for 10 days and has grossed 3954 million RMB."

"The box office of Lu Yao Zhi Mali in the first three days of the weekend was only 6453 million. The film's box office started high but ended low, and the overall screening schedule has dropped to 15.3%."

"Due to poor word of mouth, the box office of "The Quick and the Furious" in the first three days of the weekend was 3687 million, and the overall screening schedule has dropped to 11.4%."

Through these pieces of data, we can clearly conclude that the private fight between Wanda and Huayi is extremely "brutal"!
"Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" was taken offline, "Fast and Furious" was retaliated, and "Lu Yao Zhi Mali" was also not spared...

I have to say, these two companies are really cruel. They always kill when they stab others!

Chen Fei was sighing with emotion when suddenly a phone call came in.

As soon as he pressed the connect button, he heard Zhou Shouzi's voice:

"Mr. Chen, I received a notice from Weibo saying that a shareholders' meeting will be held tomorrow morning to readjust the share quotas of all shareholders."

coming!

Chen Fei's heart moved. If nothing unexpected happened, the next moment should be the time for reckoning.

"Okay, got it. You go there tomorrow. I won't go. There are too many bad people in that place..."

"There is one more thing." Zhou Shouzi suddenly changed the subject: "ByteDance will launch that app tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Fade Chen immediately became interested: "Okay, I understand. I'll go to ByteDance tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then we'll split into two groups."

"If there is any movement on Weibo, please remember to notify me."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."
