"Zheng Wei, you don't need to participate in today's ceremony."
Cao Guowei walked over and looked at Zheng Wei, Xu Jialin and Peng Yuyan coldly.
Zheng Wei was slightly stunned. He glanced at Cao Guowei's expression and then at Tang An. He suppressed the panic in his heart and explained calmly, "Cao Dong, I failed to manage this time. I didn't expect someone to do it."
I changed the nameplate privately, but luckily Director Tang found out in time, otherwise it would have been a joke."
Zheng Wei laughed, immediately showed a formula-like smile, and thanked Tang An.
Zheng Wei was surprised that Tang An came forward. Although he also knew that Tang An had a good relationship with Li Binbin a few years ago, it had been so long and he had not heard of any contact in the past few years.
Moreover, this was at a scene, and this time was specially chosen. The audience had all entered the venue. In this kind of public place, even Li Binbin himself would not say anything.
When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether Tang Ankeng remains silent or not, as long as they control public opinion, it won't be a problem.
But I didn't expect that Tang An would expose it in public without caring about the impact at all.
But he even dared to delete Tang An's Weibo, so he wouldn't be afraid of anything.
But what surprised Zheng Wei even more was that Cao Guowei actually came forward and stood directly on Tang An's side.
In the past few years, Zheng Wei has done a lot of things on Xinlang and Weibo. Even though he has deleted hundreds of Weibo posts from party media, Cao Guowei only said something about paying attention to the impact at the meeting, and did not
Intervene.
They have three board seats in Xinlang, which is enough to prevent Cao Guowei from acting rashly.
This was his confidence, and also the reason why Xu Jialin and Peng Yuyan agreed with his approach.
In the past two years, Peng Yuyan has become famous and has starred in several movies. Generally speaking, mainland artists will face a large wave of trolls by this time, and there will also be a lot of news about dirty stuff.
But Peng Yuyan didn't. Even for a bad movie like "Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams", most of the criticism on Douban, Tianya and other forums were focused on the movie itself and on it.
There are many celebrities in China who are unmentionable in some forums. It cannot be said that they can be divided into two types. One is that as soon as you mention them, a lot of fans will swarm them and turn them into scum.
The other is that if you say something bad, your post will either be deleted or you will be flooded with crazy praise from a bunch of trolls.
The Baodao people behind the mainland entertainment and Internet industries are the biggest support for these Baodao artists. Their abilities are enough to support the development of these few Baodao filmmakers in the mainland.
The big backer suggested it for their own good, and he was well prepared to deal with the aftermath, so he agreed to something that went against his previous personality.
But now that Tang An and Cao Guowei have spoken out, these two heavyweights have made them feel uneasy.
Giving Zheng Wei a worried look, Zheng Wei reassured them and then immediately called an employee to replace the nameplate.
"No matter how you did it, you can't handle this matter well. I said you must check again and again to avoid making any mistakes."
Zheng Wei quickly lectured the employee, and then said apologetically to Cao Guowei, "Director Cao, it was my negligence this time. Fortunately, I didn't make a joke. It's almost time now, so let's get started.
"
"Not funny enough?"
Cao Guowei looked at the pretentious Zheng Wei and said coldly, "In one day, the entire entertainment industry knows about the stupid things we did on Weibo. Who else will come next time?"
Although changing seats is not very common in the entertainment industry, there are many.
However, there is basically no time when the event organizer does it blatantly, or the celebrity pays someone to secretly change it. Even if the organizer does it, it must at least be disguised so that no flaws are exposed.
But the employee who changed the nameplate just now still had his work ID hanging around his neck, so it was hard to explain.
Just like in a basketball game, the referee can only blow a black whistle at most. If the referee personally comes off the court to start the game, 5v8 is still a fart, and no team will fight with them.
Similarly, once the event party intervenes in the fight for the celebrity position, it is still unabashed. No one will come back in the future, and no one wants to be the one who is cheated next time.
Of course, it's normal to do it in secret, and you have to keep it from being discovered.
Cao Guowei glanced at Xu Jialin and Peng Yuyan, who were a little uneasy on the side, and said to Zheng Wei with a warning tone, "He can continue to stay, but you should not participate in the next activities now!"
Seeing that Cao Guowei didn't give him any face, Zheng Wei looked a little ugly and said, "Dr. Cao"
Cao Guowei said in a deep voice, "What, do you want me to ask you out?"
In the end, facing the tough Cao Guowei, Zheng Wei, the entertainment director, could only leave in anger.
"Haha, I'm sorry everyone, we made some mistakes in our work. Don't worry, everyone, the event will start soon."
Everything calmed down again, Cao Guowei said to everyone with a smile.
Tang An, who had been watching Cao Guowei finish the matter, spoke up. He also smiled and said, "It's almost time. We are still waiting to see if we can win two awards."
Cao Guowei still had a lot of things to do, so he said a few words and then walked backstage.
The other protagonist, Li Binbin, who had been waiting in the interview area, appeared on time.
"Hello, Mr. Tang, Mi Mi, Xiao Ming, Brother Bo, it seems I'm late."
Li Binbin greeted everyone with a smile and stayed at his position.
Tang An smiled and said, "It's not too late. It's just right. It won't start until a few minutes."
Wang Xiaoming joked, "Everyone is here, and the awards ceremony is about to get hungry. If you don't say it, the organizer might not let you in."
Huang Bo chuckled and said, "Xiao Ming, what you said, if Binbin is stopped outside, it won't be the biggest joke this year."
Everyone was just chatting and talking without saying a word about what just happened, as if nothing had happened.
Most people don't have a good impression of the people in Baodao. In "Blood Drop", which Wang Xiaoming filmed two years ago, Chen Kexin said he was the absolute leading actor when he approached him.
It was agreed at the time that Wang Xiaoming's wisdom and bravery would be highlighted, and the storyline would adopt a model in which one person would use all his strength to kill the seven-man group of Blood Drops one by one.
The blood droplet was rendered extremely weird and terrifying, which contrasted with Wang Xiaoming's bravery and bravery, and was shot in the style of The Bourne Supremacy.
As a result, after the final film was released, the second male lead, Ruan Jintian, had more than 80 minutes of scenes, while Wang Xiaoming only had 40 minutes.
At that time, Wang Xiaoming and Hua Yi became popular, but they were deceived again.
Finally, after negotiation, the roles of both parties were slightly reduced and increased a little, with Wang Xiaoming mainly taking the lead in the second half.
However, Ruan Jintian still has the most scenes in the first half of the movie, and he has many more scenes in the entire film than Wang Xiaoming.
Why should a movie like this have two male protagonists? In the similar chase movie "The Golden Guard", Donnie Yen is the protagonist, and all the people chasing him are supporting characters to set him off.
Chen Kexin made this arrangement simply because Ruan Jintian's management contract outside of Baodao was under his agency. He also saw that mainland actors are easy to fool. This was not always the case in the past.
If Zhen Zidan had been replaced, it would definitely have been filmed in the style of "Jinyiwei".
Chen Kexin is a bit better. Like Tsui Hark, he grew up abroad and went to the United States to study at university. Among the directors who went north, the two of them are relatively close to the mainland.
However, in order to praise his own actors, he had to deceive Wang Xiaoming. In the end, he tried to get the best of both worlds and ended up with a completely different movie.
In a later interview, Chen Kexin also said that Ruan Jintian was the male lead and was protested by Wang Xiaoming's fans, so he quickly praised Wang Xiaoming for becoming famous on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places, reaching the level of Zhou Yunfa in "A Better Tomorrow" back then.
But I also didn’t forget to support Ruan Jintian, who I already worked with as a manager, and praised him for his temperament like Jin Chengwu.
Wang Xiaoming also became the biggest victim of the entire movie. He was the male protagonist, featured on posters and publicity, and received the most criticism when the movie hit the streets.
Ruan Jintian, who has the most roles, is advertised as the second male lead, and Wang Xiaoming attracts most of the criticism.
It's the best of both worlds to gain seniority and not be scolded.
Huang Bo quarreled with Cai Kangyong the year before last. In the past few years, he has seen through the people in Baodao, and now he doesn't have a good impression.
In fact, speaking of mainland directors, they have also tricked actors from Baodao and Xiangjiang. In Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast", Wu Yanzu played Xiang Yu, who should at least be the second-ranked character.
The role is indeed the second male lead, and the name arrangement and positioning in the promotions and posters are also the second male lead.
However, in the end, the filming of Wu Yanzu, which took eight months, only lasted for more than ten minutes. Xiang Yu also became a facial character in the film, with no highlights. The leading actors became Liu Bang and Empress Lu.
When the movie was released, Lu Chuan was also scolded by Wu Yanzu's fans.
Everyone in the front row was chatting and laughing, and Feng Shaofeng, Wang Luo, Deng Kai and others in the second row also chimed in from time to time.
But Peng Yuyan in the crowd felt extremely embarrassed at this time, as if he felt like someone was staring at him at any time.
No one around him spoke to him, even Wang Luo, who had just collaborated in "Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams" and was an artist of Xinbaoyuan under Hantang.
Peng Yuyan regretted a little. Why did he start to hype things up when he was doing well? He could just keep his previous image. Now he not only offended Li Binbin, but also other people didn't want to see him.
