Chapter 550 This woman is crazy! 4000 word chapter
At the premiere, Zhang Qiang waited for a while and found Tang An again.
"Dr. Tang, I'm really sorry that this happened."
"Mr. Zhang, how do you say this?" Tang An pretended to be puzzled.
Zhang Qiang said, "I am very sincere in cooperating with Director Tang. After all, our Ahli Pictures is a newcomer in the film and television industry. We need to cooperate with an established film and television company like yours. However, there are some problems within the company. They are too radical." , I am firmly opposed to the company’s acquisition of Cultural China and the release of “Tomb Raiders” next summer.”
Tang An smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is serious. After your company acquires Cultural China, the stock price will definitely rise significantly, and the summer season is a good time, just right for movies like "Tomb Raiders"."
Zhang Qiang said seriously, "Since Director Tang said so, I also ask Director Tang to let Zhao Wei go."
"Oh, Mr. Zhang and Zhao Wei have a good relationship?" Tang An asked curiously.
"We have always caused her trouble in this matter." Zhang Qiang was quite magnanimous and continued.
"Zhao Wei is now preparing to adapt a novel into a movie, which will probably be released around May Day next year. I hope Director Tang will let her go this time."
"Adapting the novel, she wants to make a movie?" Tang An asked.
Zhang Qiang nodded, "It's a youth nostalgia-themed novel, and she plans to be the director herself."
Isn't that just "To Youth", and I am the director myself.
"Then Mr. Zhang is in charge of this project, and Zhang Wei is in charge of "Tomb Raiders" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons." If she fails and Mr. Zhang succeeds, then the senior management here will value Mr. Zhang even more."
Tang An figured it out right away. There was no unity within Ah Li, and each had its own project. Whoever succeeded in this project would prove his ability, and he would be more confident in controlling the company.
"That's really unlucky. Our company happens to have a movie coming out around May next year, starring Deng Chao and Yang Mi. Now they're going to be together. What a coincidence." Tang An joked with a smile.
Zhang Qiang's face suddenly darkened. He didn't expect Tang An to be so disrespectful.
Originally, he was afraid that after the announcement of "To Youth", Tang An would make another movie to compete in the competition, and this possibility was very high.
From all indications, Tang An is not a generous person.
The previous "Waiting for the Wind" by Teng Huatao was not targeted by Tang An, who arranged a "Legend of the Ex" to defeat "Waiting for the Wind".
He directly brought Teng Huatao, who had a promising future, back to his original form. At this time, he still didn’t know what he was doing.
Zhang Qiang's face looked a little ugly, "Dr. Tang, since we no longer pursue this matter, why do we still do so?"
"That's right, I won't pursue this matter anymore. As long as Zhao Wei refunds the money and admits his mistake, I will have people withdraw the lawsuit and the public relations on the Internet will also be terminated." Tang An said with a smile.
...
Zhang Qiang was choked and didn't know what to say for a moment. Tang An said again, "Mr. Zhang, do you really think that Zhang Wei and the others failed, but if you succeed, you can control the entire Ahli Pictures?"
"What do you say, Mr. Tang?" Zhang Qiang said with some displeasure in his tone.
"Mr. Zhang, believe it or not, no matter how many achievements you make, you may not even be able to get the position of CEO, let alone take full control of Ahli Pictures within two years."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang!"
Tang Anke made Zhang Qiang so angry that he left without saying a word. If he continued to speak, he would have a heart attack.
If you tell the truth, no one will believe it, in this fucked up world.
Originally, Zhang Qiang had been working in Ah Li for two years, and everything was on the right track. There was no need to kill the donkey to get rid of the grindstone.
After working there for two years, things improved a bit, but the CEO position was gone.
Not only is the CEO gone, but the president is also gone, and he and Zhang Wei serve as co-presidents.
It's all in vain to argue and fight, you won't have a share.
...
The premiere officially started at nearly 7 o'clock in the evening. On stage, Xu Zheng was inevitably asked about the change of roles in "囧", but he handled it well.
The movie soon started to be screened. The version directed and starred by Xu Zheng was somewhat different from the original version. It didn't look so much like a ghost movie at the beginning.
However, the overall style is still a bit dark, and a pocket watch is still dangling in front of you during hypnosis.
Generally speaking, it is a work above the standard. The scenes and props are serious and high-quality, and the performance is smooth and excellent.
Although the overall performance is just a performance by two people, with some scenes of memories interspersed in the middle, the scenes between the two are enough to attract the audience and will not make people feel bored.
But it cannot be said to be absolutely excellent, because the ending does not have any surprises.
Moreover, the plot is overly decrypted, with repeated flashbacks and lengthy narration, as if for fear that the audience will not understand it, and it seems that everything must be explained in detail to fill in the gaps in the plot.
"Blank space" is the highest wisdom in suspense movies, but many domestic suspense movies are difficult to understand. They are either too contrived and mysterious, or they insist on giving the audience a definite answer that is told repeatedly.
However, there are too few good domestic films of the same type, and "The Hypnotist" can still be regarded as an excellent domestic thriller and suspense film.
The reaction of the audience was enough to prove their satisfaction with the film.
...
The next day, many media reported on the film's premiere, and film reviews were published one after another.
After all, Xu Zheng is also a director whose single film has exceeded RMB 700 million. Even if this time it is not a comedy, but a suspense film that is the opposite, the attention received is much higher than that of ordinary films.
However, the entertainment headline on the 14th was not the movie "The Master of Hypnosis", nor was it the male and female protagonists Xu Zheng and Wan Qian who gave their wonderful acting skills.
Early in the morning, Zhao Wei's Weibo, which had been silent for many days, was finally updated with an apology statement.
"I am very sorry for the trouble I have caused to the crew of "囧囧" in the past two days. Because I accidentally leaked the details of the movie, "囧囧" suffered some losses. I am hereby willing to return the remuneration I paid in advance and give up the film.
The role of the protagonist…
In the past two days, I have been busy working on the new film "To Our Dying Youth" and ignored the many contacts from the crew. It was my mistake. I would like to sincerely apologize to Director Xu Zheng and the entire crew. I hope you can
forgive......"
There are a lot of bala bala, and similar words like careless and unintentional have been used many times, but the attitude is quite sincere.
Ten minutes later, the official Weibo account of the "囧 in Hong Kong" crew also posted something, saying that the two parties had reached an agreement to terminate the contract or something like that, without any harsh words.
There was nothing left to eat, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and the agreed lawsuit was discontinued.
Not only the people who eat melons are confused, but those in the industry who are watching the excitement are also a little regretful. They thought they would make a bigger fuss.
However, everyone discovered another problem. Zhao Wei's statement also mentioned a new movie "To Our Dying Youth".
The navy from both sides left the scene, and the media couldn't say anything else.
A lot of news is like this, it comes and goes quickly, especially when there is no involvement of the navy.
Next, under the guidance of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the focus returned to the movie "The Master of Hypnotism".
However, a considerable number of people and the media have focused on the film "To Our Dying Youth" mentioned by Zhao Wei.
Fans on her personal Weibo kept asking for details about the movie, and the media and self-media also made associations with this title.
An hour later, when it felt like time was almost up, Zhao Wei posted another Weibo instead of the apology.
This is big news. Zhao Wei announced that she and her husband Huang Long will jointly invest HK$1.046 billion in Ahli Pictures, becoming the second largest shareholder with 8.1% of the shares.
In just two days after Ahli acquired Cultural China, its market capitalization surged from HK$6.7 billion to HK$11.5 billion. Although it was not as abnormal as the original increase, it was still astonishing.
Although he and his husband jointly invested the capital, he instantly became the second largest shareholder of a large company. Such a big change in identity instantly aroused a heated discussion.
An hour later, Zhao Wei added another message to his Weibo, announcing that he would be directing the film "To Our Perishable Youth" for the first time, adapted from the novel of the same name.
Two big news were released in succession, which immediately covered up the previous unfavorable news, and promoted a wave of his new movie.
...
People in the industry were dazzled by this combination of punches. In an instant, most of the negative news disappeared, leaving only various discussions about Zhao Wei's first film director.
"It's explosive that Zhao Wei has transformed into a director and will remake the modern romance novel "To Our Perishable Youth" of the same name!"
"Excellence in acting leads to directing. After Xu Zheng, a well-known actor has once again stepped into the ranks of directors. Can Zhao Wei be as successful as Xu Zheng?"
"Shocked! Zhao Wei actually wants to be the director!"
"If you don't want to be an actor but a director, what on earth does Zhao Wei want to do?"
...
Not only are the media reporting on it, but her fans and people from all walks of life are also paying attention to this matter.
Generally, those who change careers to become directors are mostly screenwriters and photographers, not just art directors and action directors, but at least there is a certain degree of overlap in the work.
But actors are completely different. An actor basically doesn't even recognize the shooting equipment, doesn't know the types of lighting, doesn't understand colors, and doesn't understand composition. He's a shitty director.
No, Zhao Wei's fans are looking forward to it. Anyway, whatever their idol does is good.
Most of the people who eat melons are still skeptical, questioning it and laughing at it.
Of course, there are not as many directors coming from other industries as there were in later generations, and the audience has not been bombarded by a lot of bad movies made by "unprofessional directors", so there is still relatively little abuse.
If we wait until five or six years later, when the audience hears about a movie made by an actor, writer, or host, their first reaction will be two words.
Big bad movie!
Zhao Wei, Guo Jinming, and He Yan in the front ate meat, while those in the back could only drink soup. By the time the audience was tired of it, they didn't even drink the soup.
Let alone being a director, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make money by starring in movies.
In recent years, those who are somewhat famous can still make some money, not to mention a lot, with a box office of 30 to 40 million.
A few years later, Du Haitao from the base camp starred in a movie with two veteran actors. The final box office was 4,000 yuan (not a single ten thousand words were missed). It was canceled after one day of release, and the movie theater couldn't afford the loss.
It can be said that "movie talent Du Haitao picked up a ghost on the toilet seat!".
It’s hard to cheat money. The audience has become so smart, how can everyone make money?
...
Tang An was a little impressed when he saw this series of trends in the company. He came up with a countermeasure in just one night, successfully eliminated most of the negative impact, and shifted the audience's attention to the new movie.
After reading the news, Tang An found the copy of "The Breakup Master".
This is a film produced by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei. It was originally a play and was going to be made into a movie.
Although it sucks, it would still be fun if you didn't care too much about the first part, but not so much in the second part.
Judging from the box office trend of subsequent releases, it was still very stable in the first four weeks and nearly a month, and there was no cliff-like drop due to poor word-of-mouth.
As for the previous talk about using a movie starring Deng Chao and Yang Mi to compete with them around May Day, it is pure nonsense.
As far as the movie "The Breakup Master" is concerned, even if Deng Chao and Yang Mi are more famous than before, the chances of them doing a good job are pitifully small.
It would be embarrassing to lose then, so let’s release it as usual during the summer, which is scheduled for mid-June. It will be released for 20 days and it won’t have much potential. “Interstellar” will follow.
...
Ahli Pictures, the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit subtle.
Old God Zhang Qiang was looking through the documents in his hand, and Zhang Wei's expression below was very exciting.
Not only her, but also several other supervisors who are in the same camp as her.
The navy and media on their side were fighting with the Han and Tang Dynasties, and Zhao Wei issued an apology announcement without even notifying him.
This is like a war between two sides. You fight for life and death. When you look back, you see that the brother troops have quietly withdrawn.
What the hell is this? Isn’t it a lie?
"What the hell!"
Zhang Wei slapped the table and cursed bitterly.
Zhang Qiang glanced at her and reminded slowly, "Mr. Zhang, Miss Zhao is now the company's second largest shareholder."
Zhang Wei snorted, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for reminding me. I know."
Zhang Qiang shrugged, stopped talking, and continued to look down at his documents.
Anyway, the conflicts between the two factions are now out in the open and are not being hidden.
After working hard for a few days, the client quit, and Zhang Wei had nothing to do. Moreover, Zhao Wei was already a shareholder of the company, so he couldn't do anything to her. He felt increasingly unhappy in his heart.
However, she did not intend to stop her plan for the Han and Tang Dynasties. Once she stopped, it would prove that her previous strategies were wrong.
"There will be five or six movies released in the Han and Tang Dynasties this year. They are either low-budget movies or declining police and spy films. There is no market for them at all. I suggest that there be targeted efforts to block the movies released by the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
Zhang Wei looked around and said bitterly.
this...
Everyone looked at each other and realized that this decision was a bit too trivial.
If you don't have a movie to release, it's thankless to block other people's movies. Is it really necessary?
Seeing their reaction, Zhang Wei stressed, "Our Ahli Pictures not only wants to become a first-class film and television production company, but also needs to be top in the industry in terms of publicity and distribution. If we successfully block the movies released by Hantang Media, it will be enough to spread the word to the entire film industry." Industry proves our capabilities..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qiang couldn't stand the documents in front of him anymore.
This woman is crazy.
He only had one thought in his mind now, and he was even slightly excited.
ps: I'm so scared. I didn't write anything in the last chapter, which is against the rules. I deleted one sentence.
I just mentioned something about Zhao Wei’s past, and the total of it is less than 30 words.
It is conceivable that if I were to criticize or criticize the whole thing, the last chapter would probably be eaten.
You can't criticize or criticize, and you can't write negative information, whether it's true or false. In short, you can't write any negative news about celebrities.
Please understand, I can't help it, thank you!
