When the little swallow saw that something was not going well, he ran away first.
Xu Zheng sat there blankly, with empty eyes, letting the water flow, the waiter's dissuasion, and the chaos of calling the police - it's true that people of the same kind flock together, and these people Dong Ping is looking for are all gangsters.
They invested the money, but legally they really have no way to recover it. If a film cannot be released due to force majeure, who can be blamed for this?
When "囧囧" had just finished filming, Dong Ping started to build momentum. Xu Zheng subscribed for shares at a price of 4 cents per share. The news was good and the stock price rose a bit.
A thunderclap, wow!
Worse than diarrhea.
There is a term for Hong Kong stocks called "penny stocks". Xian is the transliteration of the English cent (cent), which refers to stocks with stock prices as low as a few cents or even a few cents.
Xu Zheng thought that 4 cents was already very low, but then he realized what lower means!
More importantly, he and Dong Ping offended a group of people, and none of the benefits promised in advance were realized. These people were trapped in "囧" and 21 Holdings.
Why cross the class and have a net worth of hundreds of millions? It disappeared overnight. He knew that even if this incident passed, he would be finished in the industry!
…………
99 Entertainment apology statement:
"We strongly condemn several actors who made vicious remarks... As a Chinese actor, you must have a firm stance.
We do not evade our responsibilities. We have decided to stop all promotions and release plans for "囧 in Hong Kong" which has had a negative impact on this incident. We also express our deep apologies to netizens and viewers for our lax censorship.
!”
Alibaba Film and Television also had to come forward:
"We have nothing to do with "囧 in Hong Kong". It is the investment behavior of a certain person under the company. Individual actions do not represent the company's position!"
Dong Ping is on good terms with Xiao Yanzi, and Xiao Yanzi is on good terms with Ali, but that does not mean that Ali will stand up for him and clean up the mess himself.
Tencent rarely picks up jokes: "Goose goose goose!"
Netizens expressed their support for 99 Entertainment’s decisive handling:
"Awesome, I admire you. If a big IP says you don't want it, then you don't want it. This realization is unique."
"Oh, it's actually quite a pity. I'm full of expectations for "囧", but there are no small things in front of the country, so I can only say goodbye!"
"I'm just curious, why is it that "囧" is so small, and all of it is such a surprise?"
"Perhaps Director Xu will die from heaven!"
"..."
In the car, Jiang Zhiqiang was browsing Weibo, wearing glasses, struggling to read the comments one after another, his face as dark as water.
He had different feelings from Xu Zheng and Dong Ping. He talked with Xu Zheng and said that the lineup of "囧 in Hong Kong" was recommended by Boss Yu. Boss Yu named these Hong Kong stars and told them to use them.
This is amazing.
Jiang Zhiqiang didn't believe that she could predict the future, but this happened to be too coincidental.
He started thinking about it after "Monster Hunt", and increasingly felt that all the things that happened this year were too targeted, as if they were specifically targeted at the Hong Kong scene.
As for "囧 in Hong Kong", it's more like a piggybacking.
He first called Chen Jiashang, who was very depressed: ""The Four Famous Catchers" has been affected and has been put on hold indefinitely. I don't know when it will be released."
Then I called Zhang Jiazhen, the producer of "Tai Ping Wheel".
"'Tai Ping Wheel' is fine, everything is going on as usual, it will be released in December!"
"Is public opinion negative?"
"No, we are doing publicity and no one will interfere. What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that they have already taken the initiative!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Go meet Boss Yu and see what her attitude is..."
Jiang Zhiqiang sighed.
When we first discussed how to ensure the longevity of the Hong Kong scene in the mainland, first, leading directors and superstars must remain standing; second, cooperate more with pro-Hong Kong companies such as Huayi and Bona; third, open companies in the mainland and develop
Artist manager, support spokesperson.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Head actors such as Chen Jiashang, Wang Jing, Liu Weiqiang, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, etc. maintain good resources in the mainland.
Together with Huayi and Bona, he has co-produced films such as "Macau" and "The Wheel".
I have already opened a company in the Mainland and are looking for suitable candidates. Currently I think Zhou Dongyu is very good...
If it takes shape, the Hong Kong circle may not be as high-profile as before, but it will be hidden under the water and continue to affect the entertainment industry. They are greedy, how big the mainland market is.
It sounds very funny.
Later, a group of Hong Kong filmmakers, represented by Johnnie To, blamed the mainland for the decline of Hong Kong films, believing that the mainland's censorship was too strict and restricted creative freedom...
When Yao Yuan heard a question mark in his head, you are kidding me!
The reasons for the decline of Hong Kong films have been mentioned many times and I will not repeat them again, but they cannot be blamed on the mainland. They dare not and cannot compete with Hollywood for food, so they can only complain about the mainland:
"I want to eat your food, but I can't condescend to you. You have to support us and beg us to eat!"
That's the mentality.
…………
"this way please!"
"You sit down for a while first!"
Jiang Zhiqiang ran to the 99 headquarters and wanted to see Yu Jiajia, but was led to a reception room.
What's even more outrageous is that in the room were sitting Xu Zheng, who had a bruised nose and face, and Wang Changtian, as well as a few unknown people, probably some small company bosses whose investment in movies had been affected.
Jiang Zhiqiang sat down, feeling very embarrassed and feeling uneasy about waiting to be summoned.
"Here, please, sit down for a while!"
After a while, a visitor came in that made him even more embarrassed.
"..."
"..."
Wang Jinghua and Jiang Zhiqiang looked at each other, and neither of them said a word in a tacit understanding. Wang Jinghua paused again, sat down next to Wang Changtian, and whispered: "Mr. Wang has been in trouble recently?"
"What are you doing here if you don't have any trouble? The same goes for you."
"Yeah, I'm a small profiteer, and I might fly away if I blow my breath. I didn't expect that I would have to take sides at my age."
Wang Jinghua spoke directly, and Wang Changtian was stunned for a moment and did not reply.
People came one after another and took up most of the room.
After a while, Wang Changtian was finally called. He got up and walked through a short corridor and entered an office. When he looked up, he was surprised to find that besides Yu Jiajia, Yao Yuan was also there.
"Yao, Mr. Yao!"
"Guangguang Media, I have admired you for a long time!"
Yao Yuan shook hands with a smile, sat down on the sofa next to him, and made Kung Fu tea by himself, as if he were watching guests.
But with him around, Wang Changtian felt uncomfortable and said: "Boss Yu, we don't meet often. Maybe I'm rude in some way, so I'd like to apologize to you first."
"You're welcome, please tell me if you have anything to say!"
"You must know about "Four Famous Catchers". I want to know what is going on?"
"Oh, this is not directed at you, we have no grudges."
Yu Jiajia waved her hand.
"No grudges? I know that the 99 companies have a great cause and the light cannot compare, but you ruined my 80 million with just one sentence, and now you tell me that there are no grudges!"
Wang Changtian became excited.
"The visitor is a guest. I have something to talk about. Please give me tea!"
Yao Yuan next to him suddenly spoke, poured a cup of tea, and extended his hand to signal.
"..."
Wang Changtian's expression changed, but he finally came over and picked up the cup of tea: "Thank you, Mr. Yao!"
