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

Chapter 926 The Godfather of Rock Doesn’t Want to Be Humiliated? He Was Suppressed by Cinemas Nationwide!
Before his rebirth, Chen Fei actually went to the cinema to watch "The Legend of Conferred Gods".

Therefore, he knew very well in his heart that this was definitely a terrible movie, and no one could change the chaos and jumps in the story.

But this time, he caused Hua Xia Xing to go bankrupt and delist prematurely, and the producer was replaced by Bona.

So he was quite curious. After breaking away from the absolute control of Huaxia Star and Xiang family, what would Yu Dong do in this "Legend of the Gods"?
Ning Hao said that this movie is so bad that it can blind people's eyes!
This made Chen Fei even more curious.

He especially wanted to see how bad the movie could be under the control of Bona.
Anyway, movie tickets are only a few dozen dollars. When the time comes, you can take some time to go for a walk and just think of it as an eye-opener.

For the entire afternoon, the internet was filled with promotional releases about "The Legend of the Gods", and countless film critics and film review organizations were madly praising the film's special effects and visuals to the skies.

Chen Fei didn't see a single negative review on the Internet, which shows that Bona must have spent a lot of money on publicity and promotion.

Time soon came to the evening, and a piece of news from Hollywood suddenly appeared on the Weibo hot search list:
"Reprinted from The Hollywood Journal, produced by Huayi, the rock godfather Zheng Jun spent six years and painstakingly worked on the animated music masterpiece "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff". On the first day of its release in North America, the box office was reported to be 89.9 US dollars, equivalent to more than 500 million RMB."

This news did not initially attract much attention from the industry, after all, everyone knew that the film had long been scrapped.

There were just a lot of netizens mocking Zheng Jun online, saying that he spent six years producing a pile of shit.

This kind of criticism is actually very common in the circle. After all, it is a bad movie, so it is normal to be scolded.

Normally, the film producers would choose to sit back and wait for the heat to pass.

But! The Godfather of Rock and Roll doesn't want to suffer this kind of humiliation!

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zheng Jun started a live broadcast on Weibo and began to express his inner dissatisfaction crazily and unconcealedly!

With countless netizens watching, he fired wildly at all the theaters at home and abroad:
"Two months ago, the producer of the movie "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" was forced to start a live broadcast on Weibo and publicly knelt down to beg for a screening schedule because of the unreasonable screening schedule of the theaters. This gave him a chance to turn things around.

This proves that it doesn’t really matter whether a movie is good or not. What matters most is whether the theaters give you the screening time you deserve.

Just like my "Rock Mastiff", people around me who have seen this movie all gave me a thumbs up and praised me, saying that I made a good movie, a high-quality movie, and a movie that can make Chinese rock culture go global.

But I never expected that my hard work would go down the drain just because of the dirty operation of the cinema! All my efforts were in vain!
I originally thought that all the major domestic cinema chains were extremely shameless villains, but I didn’t expect that when going abroad, they would be targeted by certain cinema chains. This is simply an insult to me and to Chinese-language films!
I, Zheng Jun, am here today to formally declare war on you! I will not yield! Even if you crush my movie to death, I will not kowtow to you and admit my mistakes. I will only shout at you, "Fuck you!"

Weibo has gone completely crazy, with countless netizens and people in the circle responding and gathering in the live broadcast room to watch Zheng Jun curse.

On the sofa in the villa, Fade Chen was also watching the live broadcast with great interest.

The harsher Zheng Jun cursed, the happier he laughed.

"Haha, this time Huayi has offended all the cinema chains in the industry. If he keeps scolding them like this, Huayi's "Lu Yao Zhi Mali" will be affected tomorrow."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei leaned on his arms and raised her head curiously and asked, "So, the failure of this movie in North America was also restricted by the theaters?"

"There must be some reasons for this." Chen Fei did not deny it: "In addition to the poor quality of the film itself, Wanda must have also done something wrong."

"No wonder he cursed, he must think the failure of the movie was due to the influence of the theaters."

"Haha, go ahead and curse. The more you curse, the more unlucky Huayi will be."

The capital in the circle doesn’t care who is cursing, they only know that Zheng Jun represents "Rock Mastiff", and behind this movie stands Huayi!

Half an hour later, perhaps because the curses were too dirty, Zheng Jun’s live broadcast was finally banned by Weibo.

However, the impact of the incident has just begun!
The head of the public relations department at Huayi was almost pressing sparks from his phone, as wave after wave of internet trolls were suppressing the outburst of public opinion on the Internet under his control.

However, night is the time when many night owls frequently check Weibo, so how could it be possible to suppress public opinion so easily?
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei came to the company one after another. Their faces were so dark that they were almost darker than the bottom of a pot.

Because when Zheng Jun was cursing people on Weibo, the two of them received calls from major theater chains.

Without exception, all the theater managers who called expressed strong dissatisfaction!
And because "Rock Mastiff" has been taken off the screen, this dissatisfaction will only be reflected in "Lu Yao Zhi Mali".

This is so fucking fucked!

"Fuck! The losses were already huge enough, and now, because of that guy's swearing, even "Lu Yao Zhi Mali" is affected. Is this guy mentally ill?! Fuck!"

Wang Zhonglei was raging wildly in the office.

He wanted to contact Zheng Jun and ask him why he did this?
Unfortunately, the old man’s cell phone had been turned off long ago, and he couldn’t get in touch with him at all.

"Director Wang, we can only do our best to suppress public opinion, but... it may be difficult to handle it in a short period of time."

Listening to the words of the head of the public relations department, Wang Zhongjun, who had been silent on the side, turned pale.

If nothing unexpected happens, Huayi’s stock price will fall again after the stock market opens tomorrow.

"I don't care how much effort you put in, you must suppress this matter within two days at the latest!"

"Okay, we will try our best..."

The head of the public relations department quickly ran away. This incident was not caused by him, and he didn't want to bear the anger alone.

Soon, after calming down, the two Wang brothers started chatting about what they had done behind closed doors.

"The publishing department hasn't decided who will be the new department head yet?"

"There is a lot of competition internally. There are many people eyeing this position. They are all veterans of the company, and there are many who are salivating over it."

"Haha." Wang Zhongjun suddenly sneered: "Old man? This position is not for retirement. Just wanting a high salary but not wanting to do anything, how can such a good thing happen?"

Wang Zhonglei was stunned when he heard this: "So, what do you mean?"

"Let Ye Ning take charge. Let him handle both the theater chain and distribution. After all, he was in charge of this business when he was at Wanda. If he can use all the connections he has accumulated over the years, it will definitely be beneficial to us!"

"Airdrop?" Wang Zhonglei frowned slightly: "But those people below..."

"If anyone is not satisfied, just get out of here. I asked them to come here to do things for me, not to retire in the company!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

……

After a night, it was the 26th.

Early in the morning, a notice from the cinema chain made people in the industry understand how disastrous the consequences of offending the cinema chain would be!

"The romantic comedy film "Lu Yao Zhi Mali", produced by Huayi, directed by Wen Zhang, and starring Bao Bei'er, Song Jia, Zhu Yawen, and Jiao Junyan, has been forced to be withdrawn by the theater chain due to the exhaustion of its box office potential.

The film was released for 11 days and the total box office revenue was reported to be 1.25 million RMB! "

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in the industry!
This kind of tacit operation among theaters across the country targeting a certain movie at the same time is really scary. Which ordinary producer can afford it?
Zhu Yawen was even more frightened and called Fade Chen: "What the hell? Boss! This...this, our actors won't be affected, right?"

"No, don't worry, it's only aimed at the movie and the production company, it has nothing to do with the actors."

In fact, everyone knows that this kind of operation is somewhat unreasonable, but the right of interpretation lies in the hands of the theaters, and no one can complain.

Huayi is bound to suffer this loss in silence.

Moreover, after suffering the loss, Huayi had to find people everywhere to plead for mercy and promised that such behavior of producers scolding the cinema would never happen again in the future.

It would be fine if it only offended one or two cinema chains, but this operation offended all the cinema chains in the country. This is the first time in history!

"Haha, thanks to Zheng Jun, this incident will probably be recorded in film history."

In the car, Fade Chen joked cheerfully.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to her and adjusting her dress and checking her makeup, responded in a cute voice: "They deserve this bad luck. They were so arrogant and overbearing before, and now they are getting their retribution."

"Haha, wait and see, the retribution is more than just this."

Chen Fei said meaningfully, with a faint smile on his face.

……

If yesterday the whole network's heat was focused on "Legend of the Gods", then today, it is the time for "Detective Chinatown 2". As a sequel, "Detective Chinatown 2" not only carries the expectations of the producers, but also carries the expectations of countless fans.

Almost a year has passed since the project was initiated, the preparations started, and the film was released. Movie fans can’t wait any longer!
When he arrived at the premiere, Chen Fei saw a huge crowd of people!

Today’s premiere ceremony was very grand. Although it was not as exaggerated as the 4000 spectators that “Mr. Six” attracted previously, the number of people on site was at least over a thousand!

"How was it? Did I lie to you? Was today's premiere more lively than yesterday's?"

On the red carpet, Ning Hao held Xing Aina's hand, greeted the fans around him, and showed off to his wife.

Xing Aina rarely refuted and responded softly: "It is indeed much larger than the scale of "Legend of the Gods" yesterday."

Looking around, almost all the mainland stars and actors, from first-tier to second-tier, except those who are not in the capital, have come to the scene today!

"Feiyue Film and Television still has a stronger appeal."

"Of course! As the real leader among private film and television companies, how can he just get the title for nothing?"

~

By half past nine, almost all the invited guests, audience and media had entered the venue.

Since the film’s official screening time is at 10 o’clock sharp, the remaining half hour naturally becomes a time for everyone to socialize.

Chen Fei was discussing the publicity strategy for the next two days with Wang Changtian and Liu Xiaobin, when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

Several people subconsciously turned their heads to look, and then saw Gu Changwei taking the dazzling Zhang Jinchu to social events everywhere, and wherever they went, there was a lot of admiration!

If there hadn't been so many media at the scene, I'm afraid the two would have already held hands.

Even though they didn't hold hands, Zhang Jinchu would occasionally make some coquettish gestures, while Gu Changwei was accepting everyone who came...

"Tsk tsk? You're not avoiding people anymore?"

Wang Changtian, who loves to eat melons, couldn't help but marvel at this scene.

Liu Xiaobin also turned into a spectator and whispered, "When I was in charge of the real estate business at Wanda, I heard that the couple had been doing their own things. I didn't expect that they are doing it so openly now?!"

Chen Fei muttered with a hint of meaning: "In the entertainment industry, there are many people who appear to be in harmony but are actually at odds with each other."

The topic of the three people soon shifted to Gu Changwei.

"I heard that Wanda has made a lot of moves in Europe again?"

Chen Fei's sudden words startled Liu Xiaobin.

"Boss Chen is well-informed, isn't he?"

"Haha." Chen Fei laughed, "After all, Pan Asia is also in the cinema business, so it has a wide range of information channels in this regard."

The conversation between the two left Wang Changtian and Ren Zhonglun, who had just come over, a little confused.

"What are you two talking about? What happened to Wanda Cinemas?"

Liu Xiaobin showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Let me give you a hint first, you will know the answer the day after tomorrow."

~

The time soon came to 10 o'clock. When Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Ruoyun, Xiao Yang and other main creators finished their speeches and walked down from the stage, the film screening officially began.

Glancing at Ren Zhonglun who was drinking water next to him, Fade Chen whispered, "Mr. Ren, I suggest you try to drink less water while watching the movie."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I'm afraid you'll burst out laughing."

"???"

The big screen lit up at this time, and subtitles began to appear.
Just like the first part, the somewhat stuttering Qin Feng was the first to appear on the scene and started the first act of dialogue-style jokes with the airport staff.

When the black airport worker spoke in standard Northeastern dialect, everyone knew that the "comedy detective story" had officially begun!
If the appearance of "Tang Ren" in the first film was a joke, then in the second film, under Wang Baoqiang's interpretation, the joke was deepened!

His nouveau riche appearance, every move, and every line he spoke could cause the audience to burst into laughter.

During the two-hour viewing, the film showed very interesting and exciting scenes throughout, whether in terms of the plot, actors' acting skills or lines and dialogues.

There were many funny moments and every actor's performance was just right. The details of the murderer committing the crime and the protagonists solving the case in the end made many viewers and guests exclaim that it was wonderful!
And at the end of the film, it smoothly introduces the prelude to the third part.

Ren Zhonglun listened to the advice and did not open the bottle of mineral water during the whole process, which also prevented him from making a fool of himself at the scene.

However, when the lights came on, he couldn't wait to turn his head and look at Fade Chen: "So, this movie will have a third sequel?"

Chen Fei nodded slightly: "As long as the box office can meet expectations, we will immediately start preparing for the third part."

“What are your expectations?”

“Two billion is the minimum.”

"Damn it..." Ren Zhonglun couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what's wrong with your head. When we make a movie, we don't have the confidence to hit the 10 billion box office, but you start with 20 billion as the minimum, and you keep winning..."

"Haha, the old saying is true, the bolder the man, the more productive the land."

……

With the end of the premiere of "Detective Chinatown 2", just like the previous "Legend of the Gods", a large number of promotional releases have emerged on the Internet.

“The final battle in Chinatown, never give up on solving a case… Please look forward to “Detective Chinatown 2”!”

"At the premiere of Detective Chinatown 2, Wang Baoqiang revealed that after the film is off the screen, he will officially launch his first film work, Lost in Hong Kong."

"Zhang Ruoyun revealed that because there are a lot of chase scenes in the movie, the most common group activity for the crew of Detective Chinatown 2 is "night running"; at night, the actors are collectively pulled out to run, and they run until dawn, and some even run until they vomit..."

"It is reported that the preparation plan for Detective Chinatown 3 has been formulated..."

"Director Chen Fei said at the premiere of Detective Chinatown 2 that Detective Chinatown 8 will definitely dominate the summer vacation schedule in the coming August!"

……

In the afternoon, while Chen Fei was observing and analyzing the gains brought by the promotional press release of "Detective Chinatown 2", he suddenly saw a lot of interesting news on a portal website.

Alibaba Pictures issued a temporary announcement, saying that it will hold a media fan meeting for the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Ben-Hur" tomorrow morning.

According to the announcement, Johnny Depp, the leading actor of "Ben-Hur", will also come to the capital in person to communicate with fans on the spot about the selling points and interesting aspects of the film.

In addition, he also saw a lot of comments mocking the TV series "Fantasy City".

The drama has only been on the air for three days, and its combined scores on Maoyan and Douban have both fallen below 6 points, which means it has received countless negative reviews.

What is even more disdainful to many practitioners in the industry is that, as soon as "Fantasy City" was released, it was mired in a plagiarism controversy.

The drama not only plagiarized the logo of the tribe in Blizzard's "World of Warcraft", the costume design of the protagonist in "Assassin's Creed" by French UBI game company, the shape of the Elf King in the American Hollywood blockbuster "The Hobbit", but also the staff in the famous Japanese manga "Cardcaptor Sakura"...

Looking around, it can be said that before the broadcast, there was "a lot of noise", after the broadcast, it was "criticized by the whole nation", and then it became quieter and quieter as it went on...

The failure of this TV series has also caused deep confusion among many netizens and investors in the film and television industry.

Is the combination of “big IP + strong lineup + big investment” a “treasure pot” that can continuously reap huge profits?
