Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Xu Zheng didn't know that the incident had already happened in Hong Kong Island, let alone how it would relate to him. He was in a good mood and held a grand premiere on the evening of the 30th.

With the huge popularity accumulated by "Lost in Thailand", "Lost in Hong Kong" was also quite popular, and the box office on the first day successfully exceeded 200 million.

Xu Zheng was so shocked that he felt like he was floating in the air.

With such a first-day box office, there will be no problem in reaching 1 billion. Maybe even 2 billion!
With a cost of less than 100 million yuan, plus publicity and promotion expenses, this film will make a lot of money in the end, and the share that will go to him will be over 100 million yuan in revenue, not to mention the money earned from stocks.

"I've worked so hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, and now I can become a boss!"

Xu Zheng returned to his residence happily, and smilingly went online to read the comments of netizens. As he read, he couldn't help but frowned.

There are some good comments in the reviews, but a large number of them are saying bad things about the film.

[I used to dislike Wang Baoqiang’s silly-looking roles that always cause trouble to others, but after watching Lost in Hong Kong, I was wrong. I just didn’t like Wang Baoqiang’s role, but when Bao Bei’er played it, I hated it. I wanted to beat that character to death! There was really no redeeming feature at all! ]

[Yes, I just realized now that not everyone can play a silly role. Some people would be a disaster if they played it. The whole film reveals a feeling that I am a smart person, I am pretending to be stupid, and I am making mistakes on purpose. Is this Bao Beier holding a nude photo of Xu Zheng? ]

[Compared with Lost on Journey and Lost in Thailand, this film can only be rated as a failing grade. It's too embarrassing. Xu Zheng should just make a comedy. Why do you have to rely on the popular youth films in recent years? How old are you, Xu Zheng? You are over 40 years old. Isn't it embarrassing to be compared to youth films? ]

[I want to talk about the director. It can be seen that Xu Zheng does not want to make a comedy in the pure sense. He is trying hard to add something else to the film, but unfortunately, he wants to add too much and lacks control, so it is a bit messed up.]

[A film that is obviously not as good as "Lost in Thailand". Facts have proved that the one thing that the Lost series really cannot do without is Wang Baoqiang! ]

"Humph!"

Looking at the previous comment, it said that when he was defeated, Xu Zheng's mentality was still stable.

But when he saw this message, Xu Zheng became furious and turned off the computer.

"I wrote the script, I was the director, I was the lead actor, I also invested, but in the end, Wang Baoqiang was indispensable?"

"Oh, you understand movies, but do you understand business?"

“It’s not as good as Lost in Thailand, but it makes more money than Lost in Thailand!”

The corners of Xu Zheng's mouth curled up.

Think about "Lost in Thailand", a movie made nearly 500 million, but I didn't even get one tenth of it. The bulk of the money was made by Gu Ming, and I was just a beneficiary, and I only drank a small sip of the soup.

This time, "Lost in Hong Kong" is the movie that can really make him rich.

"It's just a bunch of ignorant people who are ranting. They are in different positions, so naturally they have different views. They are short-sighted."

With a snort, Xu Zheng went to rest.

No matter how much a bunch of netizens criticize him, it will not affect his earning hundreds of millions of RMB this time. This is beyond doubt.

When Xu Zheng was sleeping, he did not expect that the pictures of Ye Dexian personally holding a sign and taking part in the events in Hong Kong Island had already appeared on the domestic Internet.

In addition to him, there are many Hong Kong stars who have commented on the incident in Hong Kong Island.

Some netizens took a look.

Good guy!
Why are so many of them actors who have been used in “Lost in Hong Kong”?

Is this probability a bit too high?

Is this intentional?

Moreover, it was released the day before National Day, and the things happening over there only started in the past two days. Did they make an agreement, one inside and one outside, to deliberately make trouble on such a great holiday?
Many busybodies and internet trolls would leave messages on the Weibo accounts of various entertainment news and relevant departments late at night.

As for the relevant departments, it is impossible for them to help a movie take the blame.

Not to mention that this is not an ordinary thunder.

It's not about so-and-so taking illegal drugs or so-and-so having sex with a man. This is the most serious kind of thing, it's about politics, and we can't be careless about it.

So, as soon as the next day at work, all major cinema chains received the news that "Lost in Hong Kong" was taken off the screen.

As for when the painting will be released, just wait for the processing results. The final result has not been released yet.

As for when the final result will come out.

You ask me, who should I ask?
Who told you to use these people? And they even specially put it on the National Day schedule. I ask you, was it intentional or was it an accident?
All in all, after waking up, Xu Zheng received a big surprise!

I called many people I know, and the final answer was either "wait for news" or "you hired the wrong person, the higher-ups are very angry, there's probably no hope this time."

"I go……"

Xu Zheng was dumbfounded.

His hands dropped limply, his phone was placed on the cabinet beside him, he narrowed his eyes and did a quick calculation.

The box office is 200 million. According to the domestic box office share and the publicity expenses, the cost has not been recovered yet!
"Why would I use these?"

Xu Zheng narrowed his eyes and recalled carefully.

As I thought about it, I came to the root of the problem.

It seemed that when he was chatting with Gu Ming about the new film, Gu Ming mentioned that, thinking about Gu Ming's glorious achievements, he felt that this was indeed a very good suggestion, and who to use to act in this thing did not involve copyright. Later, even without the investment from Qimingxing, the same actors were used.

"Could it be that Gu Ming set a trap for me?"

"He just wants to watch me fall into a trap?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xu Zheng shook his head.

"its not right!"

"How could he know that something like this would happen in Hong Kong Island? How could he know that these people would cause trouble?"

"Besides, if I don't cooperate with Dong Ping, won't his Morning Star invest in me? Then he will be the one being screwed!"

"This is unreasonable!"

"This unscientific!"

After thinking about it, Xu Zheng found that the only reasonable explanation for this matter was that he was just too unlucky.

Who could have thought that all this would happen so coincidentally!
It was such a coincidence that the door was opened.

"Oh!" Xu Zheng could only sigh.

Compared to Gu Ming, my luck is far worse!

If I had known earlier, I would have known earlier...

……

"This is such a coincidence." Gu Mingde couldn't help but laugh when "Lost in Hong Kong" was removed from the screen.

"I wonder if Xu Zheng can guess what's going on."

After smiling, Gu Ming swiped to the next page to read other news.

Xu Zheng is no longer worth my concern. I might as well enjoy life more. (End of this chapter)
