"Ping Pong: Jedi Strikes Back" was suddenly removed from the shelves, triggering heated discussions among the audience.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Why was it suddenly taken off the shelves? I was planning to watch it over the weekend."
"My girlfriend and I finished watching it halfway through the Yida Cinema. The theater refunded our money, and we vaguely felt that something big had happened."
"I have watched it. Although there are no surprises in this movie, there is nothing illegal. I really can't think of the reason why it was suddenly removed from the shelves."
…
In order to stabilize the audience, the promoters quickly issued an announcement to fool them.
The general meaning is that there is a problem with the publicity and distribution, and it needs to be dealt with urgently. It will be temporarily removed from the shelves for a period of time and then re-uploaded at another date.
After stabilizing the audience, Wang Chao quickly came to the capital to find Gao Zheng.
"Mr. Gao, why did you offend Yang Chen? Why haven't you solved it in the past few days?" Wang Chao asked straight to the point.
Gao Zheng looked embarrassed and replied with a guilty conscience: "It's nothing, I'm thinking of a solution. Give me some time, and I promise to solve this matter perfectly. Okay?"
Qu Changde: "Let's add a friend and get together often when we have the opportunity. My main business is film and television investment. I think Mr. Yang and Ms. Zhuo have very good images. Are you interested in becoming actors? I can help you with the operation."
, I dare not say anything else, but at least I can promote you as a second- or third-tier star. If you two have better talent and luck, becoming a first-tier star will not be a problem."
Zhuo Wenjun looked up and saw a girl wearing a mask, sunglasses and a hat waving to her.
At this time, Zhuo Wenjun's home.
Qu Changde now only invests in film and television, and specializes in favoring some actresses. Not only can he earn commissions, but he can also get their bodies, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Gao Zheng will pretend to withdraw from the investor position first, and then replenish his share when the movie box office dividends are distributed.
For a boy as good-looking and rich as Yang Chen, I don’t know how many girls dream of marrying him. If Zhuo Wenjun doesn’t take the initiative, it won’t be her turn.
At this time, the waiter came over.
Zhang Ruoxi's eyes suddenly lit up, then she still had a chance.
"Ruoxi, have you been waiting for a long time?" Qu Changde asked with a smile.
Yang Chen: "Okay. I'll wait until you officially sign into my company."
Yang Chen felt scared after just one look, he might as well just eat raw food.
But when an old classmate reunited three years later, the other party had already taken the initiative to invite him, so it seemed inappropriate to refuse him directly.
Mom: "Oh... don't say this anymore. Although we are indeed very optimistic about Yang Chen's overall conditions, but you saying it so clearly is like we are trying to make our daughter greedy for power."
Grandma: "Our Xiaojun's conditions are still very good. Not only is he worthy of Yang Chen, but at least he doesn't try to compete with him."
Maya is studying her "dark" cuisine in the kitchen, half-cooked sweet and sour carp, bloodshot Coke chicken wings...
Zhuo Wenjun: "Hey, Brother Chen, you...what are you doing?"
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at her son Zhuo Zidan and winked at him.
Maya flipped her hair and said: "I think I have made great progress, and I should be able to do it after a few more attempts. You can eat outside while you go out to drive the car. I will just eat some fruit and bread later."
"
It took some time for the kitchen to cook, and Qu Changde started to show off.
Zhuo Wenjun said quickly: "No, no, no. Ruoxi, we won't have dinner together. After dinner, I will invite you to sing. Do you think that's okay?"
Wang Chao: "Then can you tell me in detail what happened? It's impossible for him to target you like this for no reason, right?"
Grandma: "Xiaojun, you see you haven't stopped doing things at home these days. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it. In this way, you can go out for a walk, or treat Yang Chen to a meal to support us.
The relationship between his family and him.”
She asked Yang Chen out for dinner to bond with her, but it would be a bit inconvenient for Zhang Ruoxi to join her now.
However, Zhang Ruoxi did not dare to blatantly pursue Yang Chen. She did not dare to let her father, the sponsor behind it, know, otherwise he might not praise her.
As a second-tier star, it shouldn't be difficult to pursue a handsome amateur guy, right?
Zhuo Wenjun nodded, searched for nearby steakhouses, and finally chose Hyalantes Saffron Western Restaurant.
The waiter brought the menu for them to order.
Zhuo Zidan understood what his mother meant and quickly said to his daughter: "Xiaojun, I think what your grandma said makes sense. Our family's business will depend on him to become bigger and stronger in the future, so we should have a good relationship with him.
He and I are not familiar with each other. If I want to treat him to dinner, he may not agree. You and he are considered friends. If you invite him to dinner, he will definitely agree. In the future, the family business will definitely be completely handed over to you, and you must also learn
How to maintain customer relationships. Do you think it makes sense?"
This made Wang Chao and others very angry. He had no regard for the interests of other investors.
Zhuo Wenjun dialed Yang Chen's number.
This restaurant is the first store opened by the seven-star Hyalantes Hotel controlled by Yang Chen to try to get involved in the high-end catering industry.
Hidden rules are so normal in the entertainment industry, and there is really nothing to say about things that everyone knows very well.
The four of them came to the box.
Qu Changde: "You old classmates are reunited, how can we just have some steak. Let me order some. Waiter, please bring four portions of fried foie gras, a king crab weighing more than five kilograms, and an Australian dragon weighing four kilograms.
Here are two, too."
Other investors quickly pulled the two away and comforted them to calm down and discuss it carefully.
"Wenjun?"
Zhuo Wenjun hurried towards the door and said, "I'm going to find Yang Chen for dinner. Don't wait for me for dinner tonight."
Gao Zheng offended Yang Chen this time. It can only be said that he was unlucky. Wang Chao didn't think he did anything wrong.
So, he told Zheng Xuanyi exactly what he wanted to unspoken about.
The waiter nodded and said, "Okay. Wait a moment, four of you. Your food will be served soon."
Zhuo Wenjun didn't recognize her for a moment, and the other person quickly lifted up his mask and made a face at her.
To put it bluntly, he himself knows that this movie will definitely suffer a loss, so it is better to take the opportunity to let other investors find a way to absorb the 140 million he invested, and to preserve the principal than to lose money when the box office is finally divided.
"Wenjun has his own career to do, so don't think too much about it." Zhang Ruoxi said quickly.
Because of her celebrity status, Zhuo Wenjun did not dare to call her name loudly, lest passers-by hear her and surround her.
Zhuo Wenjun's mother: "The main thing is that Xiaojun seems to be interested in him too. I can see that Xiaojun looks at him differently from others. Let's treat it as normal. If they can really get together, then of course they will.
It's a good thing. If people don't have such intentions for Xiaojun, we can't just insist on it."
Zhang Ruoxi: "Great. This is my friend Mr. Qu Changde. Wenjun, what do you call your friend?"
Gao Zheng was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head and rejected the plan.
"Ruoxi, why are you here?" Zhuo Wenjun whispered, and hurried forward to hug her.
After Wang Chao understood the situation, he didn't care what kind of investment company boss Gao Zheng was, and directly yelled at him: "What a good thing you did on the horse! In this situation, who would be willing to pay 140 million to take over your shares?
?You can quit on your own, and don’t ask for the 140 million. It will be used to compensate for the loss of this movie’s box office.”
Zhang Ruoxi smiled awkwardly and nodded, saying: "Okay! Then you can go and I won't disturb you."
"I not only support newcomers, but also many celebrities who are already famous. For example, Wang Chao and Sun Yali, I invested in their film "Ping Pong"."
The two of them came to Saffron Restaurant and asked the waiter for a private room.
Zhuo Wenjun: "Then wait for me, I'll go find you right away."
Grandma: "It is too easy for Xiaojun to get married, but it is very difficult to marry an outstanding young man like Yang Chen. I have lived for sixty years, and I have met such an outstanding young man like Yang Chen."
A young man. What do you think his identity must be to be able to recruit someone to Prince Gong’s Mansion? It’s not easy to meet such a person from a family background like ours, so of course we have to be proactive."
Zhang Ruoxi's goal is Yang Chen, and Zhuo Wenjun is her stepping stone to get closer to Yang Chen.
Zhang Ruoxi: "What a coincidence? I also invited friends over for dinner. Where are you going to eat?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "I'm not interested. Being a star is too tiring and not suitable for me. I prefer to be free and easy. I can just drive a ride-hailing service online for a few hours every day. There is no need to work so hard."
Wang Chao and others had no choice but to find a way to talk to Yang Chen in person.
Ju Yiyi: "Okay! I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye, Brother Chen."
Grandma, father, and mother quickly nodded happily, not forgetting to tell her to talk to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen wasn't very hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have come to eat Western food.
In this current situation, there is definitely no one to take over Gao Zheng’s 140 million share. Although Wang Chao’s method is very unfair to Gao Zheng, there is no other way.
After saying that, Maya ran over and kissed Yang Chen, and then ran back to cook.
Zhuo Wenjun quickly denied it and said: "No. We are just ordinary friends for the time being."
The box has been cleaned and they can go in.
Gao Zheng said roguely: "I don't agree with this plan. The 140 million I invested doesn't have to make any money, and it definitely can't lose money. Don't scare me into claiming compensation or anything like that. At worst, I'll file a lawsuit. We'll just spend it slowly."
Zhang Ruoxi is relatively lucky. She captured an investor with her good looks and graceful figure. With the investor's generous support, she is now considered a second-tier star.
Wang Chao calmed down a little, and his tone softened a little, and said: "Mr. Gao, I was a little irritable when I spoke. I admit it. But the reason why I was irritable was that there was a big problem with the project. Forget it, let's not talk nonsense anymore.
.Hurry up and ask Yang Chen to come out and talk. No matter what conditions he proposes, we will agree immediately. If we delay for one more day, we may lose hundreds of millions in box office revenue."
Zhuo Wenjun looked at Yang Chen in embarrassment.
The Zhuo family was quite satisfied with Yang Chen and looked forward to him becoming the son-in-law of the Zhuo family.
The two hugged each other and whispered a few greetings, and then Zhang Ruoxi's attention turned to Yang Chen.
Zhuo Wenjun was worried that Yang Chen would refuse, so he quickly hung up the phone.
Think of a way to add someone on WeChat first, and then you can start flirting slowly.
I have to say that Qu Changde and Zhang Ruoxi are really bitches matched with dogs. It is the best ending for them to get married, so as not to interfere with other people's ideas.
If Zhuo Wenjun doesn't want to, then start with Yang Chen.
"Brother Chen, what do you want to eat? I'll search online for nearby restaurants." Zhuo Wenjun asked with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen was going to find a place to have dinner.
Zhang Ruoxi was instantly moved, this is her favorite style.
Qu Changde kept bragging about his achievements just to make Zhuo Wenjun fall in love.
Zhang Ruoxi is unhappy. If Qu Changde favors Zhuo Wenjun, her chances will be slim.
He ordered a steak.
Yang Chen: "I'm just looking for a place to eat, is there anything wrong?"
Yang Chen made two bowls of snail noodles and ate them with Maya.
It’s great to learn dance, you can do all kinds of difficult poses.
In the evening, Ju Yiyi called Yang Chen.
Waiter: "Boy, I'm sorry, there are no private rooms at the moment. There are two customers in front of us waiting for the private rooms, so you have to wait a little longer."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after this setback, "Ping Pong" will definitely not do well at the box office and will almost certainly suffer losses. Who would spend real money to take over a movie that is destined to lose money?
These bosses could only quickly go to Wang Chao and Gao Zheng to discuss countermeasures.
After graduation, Zhuo Wenjun returned home to "inherit" the family business, took over his grandfather's crafts, and said goodbye to the dance industry.
Zhuo Wenjun: "No, let's come over for dinner."
Yang Chen: "Come out to eat with me."
Zhang Ruoxi quickly grabbed him and said, "No, that girl is my college roommate, named Zhuo Wenjun. We met outside just now. I wanted to invite them to have dinner together, but the man didn't want to."
I played a supporting role in some big productions and the heroine in some small productions, and I did pretty well.
Zhuo Wenjun smiled and nodded, and went to Hyalantis Saffron Restaurant with Yang Chen first.
Zhuo Wenjun is more concerned about his body shape, and he also pays attention to controlling his diet.
Gao Zheng felt that the entertainment industry was just like that, so there was no shame in speaking out.
Qu Changde straightened his back instantly, feeling in his heart that he was sure to defeat Zhuo Wenjun.
Qu Changde also saw Zhuo Wenjun, who had a better temperament than Zhang Ruoxi, and an idea came to his mind. If he could promote Zhang Ruoxi, who had a worse temperament, into a second-tier star, he would definitely be able to promote Zhuo Wenjun, who had a better temperament.
Gao Zheng originally felt a little guilty, but when Wang Chao yelled at him like this, he immediately became unhappy and said, "I am the largest investor, is this the way you talk to me?"
My roommate in college, it means that the girl named Zhuo Wenjun also graduated from the dance academy.
If Yang Chen can become the son-in-law of the Zhuo family, the Zhuo family will definitely be able to take off in the future.
"Wenjun, is this your boyfriend?" Zhang Ruoxi asked in a low voice.
After saying that, she got up and washed her hands, then went back to her room to make a phone call.
Zhuo Wenjun is in such a difficult position.
Yang Chen: "I helped her because I wanted to get you, so it's even if you sign into my company. She doesn't need to thank me specifically."
Zhang Ruoxi followed the waiter's line of sight and looked over. The two customers the waiter mentioned were Yang Chen and Zhuo Wenjun.
Wang Chao had nothing to say and just kept shaking his head gently.
…
Half an hour later, Zhuo Wenjun and Yang Chen met in Joy City.
"Why are you here? Going shopping?" Zhang Ruoxi asked.
Zhuo Wenjun was stunned for a moment by his grandma and dad, and quickly nodded and replied: "Okay, then I'll call him and ask if he has time to talk."
This is the restaurant in Hyalantis. Yang Chen thought for a while that business is more important, so he nodded and said: "Okay! Let's use the private room together."
Yang Chen smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, I'm not very hungry. A steak set meal is enough."
Kicking Gao Zheng out means that he must find someone to fill the 140 million he invested.
Zhuo Zidan whispered: "Isn't it bad for us to do this? It makes Xiaojun seem like he can't get married."
Yang Chen gave Maya a 630,000 yuan watch. She was so happy that she didn't let him sleep well all night, causing him to get up almost at noon.
Yang Chen nodded and said: "Okay! Just choose this one."
Qu Changde concealed his inner embarrassment with a smile and nodded helplessly.
Zhuo Wenjun has been so passive, and his family members are worried.
Zhuo Wenjun: "I happen to want to eat too. Let me treat you. Where are you now?"
Therefore, she also ordered a steak from Yang Chen.
Wow, what a handsome man, with a strong body and a good temperament.
Gao Zheng replied with a look of helplessness and grievance: "You think I don't want to ask him out to meet and chat. But he blocked me and I can't find him at all. I have asked the boss behind him to help set up a line to find him.
We’ve had a chat, calm down and wait for the news together.”
After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhen conveyed Yang Chen's words to the bosses.
Qu Changde misunderstood. He thought that Yang Chen and Zhuo Wenjun could only order the cheapest steak set meal because they were poor and did not dare to order other delicious dishes.
Zhang Ruoxi didn't think much, nodded and walked over with Qu Changde.
Zhuo Wenjun: "Yes, I have my own job and have no interest in being an actor. Thank you Mr. Qu for your kindness. You should give all your resources to Ruoxi."
"Since we are college roommates, we must have dinner together. Besides, there are no private rooms now, so we can squeeze in. Let's go and discuss it with them." Qu Changde said hypocritically.
Maya: "No, I still have to study vegetables."
If someone takes a photo and posts it online, Zhang Ruoxi's persona of being as pale as a chrysanthemum will collapse.
Zhuo Wenjun hummed, changed his shoes and went out.
Ju Yiyi: "Well...okay. When you are free, can I treat you to dinner?"
Wang Chao: "I will give you time, but who will give time to our project? Do you know what it means if a movie that is currently in theaters is removed from the shelves? Once a gun version or even a genuine film source leaks out of the market, our project will be finished.
.350 million. Many investors invest in this project because of me. If this project is messed up, my reputation will be ruined! I will give you time, who will give me time?"
Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said: "No, I just arrived. Let's go."
Yang Chen: "Hello, my name is Yang Chen."
Gao Zheng was scolded very humiliatingly. He pointed at Wang Chao and scolded: "You are on horseback to figure out the situation. I am the biggest investor. You are nothing if not on horseback. You dare to chatter with me. What are you using your mouth for?"
Are you farting? 140 million, so you can tell me that I don’t want it anymore? How come you have such a big face?”
Zhang Ruoxi: "I kind of want to eat caviar. Let me have four more servings of caviar."
The two were walking talking and laughing when suddenly a female voice called Zhuo Wenjun's name.
"I have quite a lot of connections in the entertainment industry. As long as there are suitable newcomers, I can make them famous. A few days ago, a few newcomers asked me to make them famous. They are the new members of the girl group SHN, Wu Xiuyun.
and Yang Yunzi. However, I didn’t like them. In fact, I am very interested in Ju Yiyi, the face of SHN group, and I am also very optimistic about the new member Zheng Xuanyi.”
Zhuo Wenjun pointed to the Hyalantes Saffron Restaurant not far ahead and said, "There."
After eating the snail noodles, Yang Chen went out to drive a car.
Yang Zhen: "Okay! I know what it means. Then I can tell them directly?"
Zhang Ruoxi: "I'll go. It's such a coincidence. We also made an appointment to have dinner there. We haven't seen each other for three years, right? How about eating together?"
Yang Chen: "There's nothing to talk about. If they kick Gao Zheng out, it can be re-released."
Before he finished his cup of coffee, Star Entertainment CEO Yang Zhen called him.
The two of them followed the navigation prompts and walked towards the Saffron Restaurant.
Ju Yiyi: "Hey, Brother Chen, do you have time? Xuanyi is very grateful that you have helped her a lot and wants to invite you to have a meal."
But Zhuo Wenjun is really as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, and he doesn't even listen to his show off.
Zhang Ruoxi: "Then let's do this for now. If it's not enough, we'll order more. Waiter, serve the food as soon as possible."
"Wenjun, let's share a private room together. The waiter said there is no private room and I can't eat in the hall. You and your boyfriend can discuss it and we can eat together." Zhang Ruoxi said.
Yang Chen: "Yeah. Just tell the truth."
At this time, Zhang Ruoxi's financial sponsor father Qu Changde came.
However, he didn't want to give up just like that.
Qu Changde had long been tired of sleeping with Zhang Ruoxi, and it was time to change to one with better conditions.
Just do it, Qu Changde said with a smile: "I'll discuss it with them, let us use the private room first, or we can use the private room together."
But no matter how Wang Chao and others tried to persuade or even threaten him, it had no effect. Gao Zheng just insisted on his own ideas.
Zhang Ruoxi's expression gradually became ugly, and she thought to herself: "What are you pulling on? Being handsome is a big deal. The men who want to eat with me can be lined up from here to the United States. I want to eat with you, why don't you do it? Damn it.
!”
“Actually, film and television investment is a test of one’s vision. If you choose the right people to support, you can easily succeed. If you have poor vision and choose the wrong people to support, you may spend a lot of money but still get no results.
"
…
Qu Changde shook hands with Yang Chen seriously and said: "Hello, my name is Qu Changde."
Yang Chen: "I'm here in Joy City."
The top priority is to get the movie re-released as soon as possible. One more day of delay could cost tens of millions in box office.
Yang Zhen: "Mr. Yang, several bosses have contacted me. They want to have a good chat with you about the removal of "Ping Pong: Jedi Strikes Back"."
More than ten minutes later, Zhuo Wenjun walked out of the room after being carefully dressed.
Yang Chen: "Just have something simple, let's eat steak."
Dad: "That's right, my daughter's condition is enough to match a young master of Wang Nianming's level. But Yang Chen's condition is too outrageous. Prince Gong's palace has given it to him. It's really hard to imagine what his identity and background are.
"
At this time, Yang Chen finished seeing off the guests and found a nearby coffee shop to spend time.
"Is Mr. Yang interested in becoming a star?" Qu Changde asked.
Zhang Ruoxi also felt happy in her heart. Yang Chen was just an online ride-hailing driver, and he could be taken down by any means.
Zhuo Zidan nodded, feeling that what his mother said made sense. Just the set of Prince Gong's palace was enough to show that Yang Chen's status was not simple.
No matter what, he is better as an investment company boss than an online ride-hailing driver.
Qu Changde: "No problem, we will order whatever you want to eat. My consumption concept is very simple. As long as I eat and use it, it doesn't matter how much I spend. Brother Yang, Miss Zhuo, you two
Do you want to eat anything else? Order whatever you want, I’ll treat you tonight.”
Driving an online ride-hailing service?
Oh, he is just an online ride-hailing driver.
Although the two of them have that kind of relationship, they still have to be careful in public places.
Zhuo Wenjun: "Me too, a steak set meal is enough."
Zhang Ruoxi also had the same idea, and they both felt that the opportunity to perform had come.
This person's name is Zhang Ruoxi, and he was Zhuo Wenjun's roommate at the dance academy.
Yang Chen didn't like eating with people he didn't know, so he said, "How about you guys eat together? We'll make an appointment next time."
Yang Chen said with a smile: "I read on the news that "Ping Pong: Jedi Strikes Back" has been removed from the shelves. What the hell is going on?"
Qu Changde: "Brother, you asked this question very well. Let me tell you, there is a big shot involved behind this."
Yang Chen: "Really? What kind of big shot is he? He can actually take a movie that is currently being released off the shelves."
Qu Changde: "You may not believe it, but that big shot is also named Yang Chen, who has the same name as you."
Zhuo Wenjun's eyes lit up, maybe he had the same name, but the same person!
