Chapter 372 The headlines are not from my family, do I have to do it? Four thousand words!)
Early morning.
While everyone was lying in sleep, an explosive message appeared on the headlines of various major sections today.
This news was forwarded by major well-known Weibo bloggers, and all major media made various speculations surrounding this news.
"Joaquin announced that it will spend 200 million to shoot China's first 3D special effects fantasy blockbuster "Dream Traveler". The script of this movie was written by the famous Hollywood screenwriter Sovia, who spent three years and refined it in many ways. At the same time, he invited famous Hollywood screenwriters Actress Catherine will be the heroine of this movie, and the male lead is yet to be determined. She is suspected to be in contact with a well-known domestic film and television star..."
"Shocking! "Dream Traveler" may become the first special effects fantasy movie co-produced by China and the United States!"
"Why did Joaquin, who has always been low-key, suddenly make this decision? The mysterious new executive vice president may be very ambitious!"
""Dream Traveler" may become the highest-grossing Chinese film, hitting a box office of 800 million?"
"The director of the big movie turned out to be Sam Lianjie? Joaquín has so many famous directors, why did he choose Sam Lianjie? Is there any hidden secret?"
"Shen Lianjie: I apologize for my previous failures, but now, maybe you will see a brand new me. The bird that cannot be killed is called Phoenix. I am back!"
"..."
In an instant, news about the "Dream Traveler" movie was everywhere on the headlines, and at the same time, the news comments on various pages were filled with netizens' doubts about Shen Lianjie.
Who is Shen Lianjie?
Two years ago, Shen Lianjie was still one of China's emerging directors. Many well-known seniors in the industry rated Shen Lianjie as China's most promising new director who could take on big responsibilities. He was praised to the point where he was awesome. .
Two years ago, Shen Lianjie indeed had all the conditions needed for a new director. At the same time, he was also one of the best among directors in terms of appearance, which also won him a wave of fans.
It is not an exaggeration to use the four words to describe it.
When everyone thought that Shen Lianjie would work harder and continue his efforts, directly impacting hundreds of millions of film directors, and even becoming one of the members of the billionaire director club, Shen Lianjie suddenly fell off the chain as if his head had been dropped.
last year!
right!
Since last year's "Capital", Shen Lianjie has directly refreshed the box office limit of his own movies at an astonishing speed. Basically, he has lost every movie he made, and all of them were vigorously built in the early stages, but in reality When it came time to hit the box office, it was crushed to the point where nothing was left, and even the drawings were released early...
What happened to this person?
Senior directors were very disappointed with him.
Investors lost money and scolded him in various channels.
Many of Joaquin's senior executives also have opinions on him and feel that he needs to calm down...
Netizens are quite tolerant of him. At most, they scold him for making all kinds of movies and ridicule him. Does he want to be the king of bad movies in China?
In this situation, what should Joaquin Company do?
What should be done is to put Shen Lianjie aside temporarily and let him stay for a while.
This is something all entertainment companies do.
However, at this time, Joaquin suddenly announced that Shen Lianjie would direct a Chinese-American co-production movie with an investment of over 200 million?
And all the resources are top-notch?
Isn't this a joke?
In an instant, Shen Lianjie was pushed to the forefront of the limelight, and doubts came to him like a tide, even suppressing the news about Lu Yuan, and he was in the limelight for a while!
The next morning, many entertainment TV stations began to discuss Shen Lianjie. The popular headlines on Weibo were all occupied by the word Shen Lianjie, and the topic discussion points in major post bars also continued to refresh their popularity.
Everyone thinks that Shen Lianjie has something to do with Joaquin, the new executive vice president. Is he a distant relative of Shen Lianjie? Does Shen Lianjie have some great backstage in Joaquin? Some people even question whether Shen Lianjie is... Mr. Joaquin Lee’s illegitimate son...
In short, suspicious public opinion news from all aspects are constantly bombarding the entire Chinese media, and the hype has reached the point of explosion.
Even Zhou Shuai posted his opinions on Shen Lianjie's directorship of "Dream Traveler" on his Weibo...
Of course, Zhou Shuai has absolutely no sense of moral integrity. He caught Shen Lianjie and raped him without saying a word. In a written way, he described Shen Lianjie as a genius who is about to rise after temporarily falling, and the future of China. Star, the rising legend...
The bragging made Shen Lianjie act like the protagonist in it, pretending to be slapping him in the face...
All in all, there was a lot of scolding after Zhou Shuai's embarrassing boast, and everyone was asking if Zhou Shuai had accepted money from Shen Lianjie.
In fact, Zhou Shuai did receive money.
However, the money received was not money from Shen Lianjie, but money from Joaquin officials.
Although it's not much, just over 20,000 yuan, Zhou Shuai is still dedicated to working with the money to increase his popularity.
Of course, Zhou Shuai mentioned this matter to Lu Yuan before collecting the money, which meant that Joaquin wanted to bribe him, and he asked Lu Yuan if he could make this money.
Although Zhou Shuai is quite unruly and occasionally shameless, he still respects Lu Yuan.
He knows who helped him achieve such a status today...
If it weren't for Lu Yuan, Zhou Shuai would probably still be a dead paparazzi who broke his leg for entertainment news.
Moreover, he and Lu Yuan had a unilateral py agreement, and the two of them were considered one body, so he still asked Lu Yuan about things that were not good for Lu Yuan.
He thought Lu Yuan would refuse.
However, Lu Yuan did not refuse this matter. Instead, he encouraged Zhou Shuai to collect money and work. At the same time, he also hinted behind his back that he would tell him a day in advance about the work that could earn him money in the future. He even more vaguely said that he was about to open another bank. A Weibo account. If you encounter some special things that are inconvenient to come forward in the future, you will use that account...
"????"
Zhou Shuai was stunned when he heard this sentence.
etc!
What the hell?
Special things that are inconvenient to come forward?
What's going on?
What is going on in this Lu Manzi’s mind?
What bad idea is he holding back?
…………………………………………
It was six o'clock in the morning the next day.
Lu Yuan was awakened by the sound of the phone. Lu Yuan looked at the phone and saw that it was Wu Tingting calling.
"Mr. Lu...it's not good, it's not good!"
"What's wrong? What happened so early in the morning?"
Wu Tingting became furious when she heard the call was connected, and her voice sounded a little solemn.
Lu Yuan, who was originally ignorant, was frightened and woke up.
Wu Tingting has always been a relatively calm person, and it is rare to hear her talk to her in such an anxious tone.
Lu Yuan immediately thought that the company was on fire, or that there was something wrong with the artists in his company. He even thought that someone in the company was taking drugs...
"Mr. Lu, the news about Shen Lianjie is everywhere in the headlines. Your popularity is now overshadowed by Shen Lianjie. It seems that Joaquin used tactics to attack this time... How should we find a way to fight back? ?”
"Is this what you said badly?"
"Um, Mr. Lu, someone has stolen your headlines. Isn't this a big deal?" Wu Tingting on the other end of the phone suddenly became anxious when she heard her boss's speechless attitude.
In her subconscious mind, the headlines in the entertainment industry are exclusive to her boss Lu. Now that someone has snatched the headlines, this is definitely a huge deal for the entire "remote" entertainment!
"Calm down, let me ask you, is this entertainment headline created by our company?"
"Um...this...but, you have been occupying the headlines before...and now Shen Lianjie..."
"I can be on the headlines, why can't others? Who says that the headlines must be mine?"
"Ah?" Wu Tingting was a little confused.
"It's not a big deal, it's all small things..."
"Mr. Lu, there is one more thing you have to be mentally prepared for. Zhou Shuai is helping Shen Lianjie to hype up this week. This..."
"Zhou Shuai called me last night and talked to me. I agreed..."
"Ah?" Wu Tingting was completely at a loss what to say.
She simply couldn't understand what her Lu Yuan was thinking.
seem……
Everything is calm?
Could it be that Mr. Lu already has a countermeasure?
"Okay, I'll lie down for a while, I have to take the road test later..." Lu Yuan stretched lazily.
You can put aside everything else today. The most important thing today is your driving license test.
After taking the road test, you can consider yourself to have accomplished one of the most important things in your life, right?
He needs to sleep for a while to recharge his batteries and get through.
As for the headlines?
As long as there are so many fans on Weibo, do you still lack headline traffic if you advertise on your own?
"Oh, okay..." Wu Tingting hung up the phone.
Lu Yuan lay down for a while and couldn't sleep for some reason.
Then, he shook his head.
I took out my cell phone and made a call...
"Hey, Dad, is Uncle Liu here?"
…………………………
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
This is what Mr. Xu told Shen Lianjie.
Shen Lianjie didn't understand what this sentence meant at first.
But after seeing the current headlines, Shen Lianjie understood.
She completely pushed herself out, created a controversial topic in public opinion, and allowed herself to withstand pressure from all sides.
After all, only when there is controversy can people pay attention and generate traffic, and Shen Lianjie learned that all the ways to make headlines this time were planned by Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu gathered them all in the major media. At the same time, there were many scandals, including some messy scandals related to Joaquin's senior management, or being supported by an investor. Mr. Xu was also looking for people. Spread out with one hand.
The combination of many aspects, and the explosion of investment in the "Dream Traveler" movie, directly pushed the popularity to its peak, comparable to Lu Yuan in his heyday.
Lu Yuan?
Shen Lianjie laughed when he saw Lu Yuan missing from these headlines.
After being suppressed for such a long time and holding back his grievances for such a long time, Shen Lianjie finally felt like a serf who had turned over and started singing.
although……
He knew he had only two options now.
Yes, after being bombarded with all kinds of messy scandal news, there are only two ways for him to go!
One way is to rely on the box office of the movie "Dream Traveler" to break all doubts and officially rise, and the other way is to be completely stepped into the ground and become a complete joke.
After all, if so many top resources are still destroyed by themselves, then...
I will be a fool in the future!
The higher you hold it, if it becomes unstable and falls, it is no longer a question of whether it hurts or not, but immediate death.
certainly……
He has absolutely no choice now.
To truly win over Lu Yuan, you have to bet everything!
"Yes! The failure of those previous movies was just an accident. Now, Chinese movies have matured in all aspects. I think I can carry this banner. I am willing to be the first to take the lead!"
"Yes! I will use the box office to break all doubts!"
"Scandal? Yes, I can indeed rely on my face to make a living, but I will rely on my strength to make a living!"
"Competing with Lu Yuan's "Westward Journey"? No, I don't have that intention, but if it happens by chance, then the winner will definitely be me. After all, this is a movie co-produced by China and Hollywood!"
"..."
Facing the reporter's answer, Shen Lianjie was completely shameless.
He only invited Hollywood screenwriters and actresses, and he said it was a movie co-produced with Hollywood.
He must expand and heat up to the highest level!
At the same time, he wants to suppress Lu Yuan because he feels that with Lu Yuan's character, Lu Yuan will start to fight back soon!
Lu Yuan's counterattack was just enough to match his fierce hype. If he hadn't counterattacked, Lu Yuan would have completely lost his popularity in the headlines this time!
No matter what, the winner is his.
…………………………
The evening sunset is beautiful.
Xu Cancan silently looked at the sunset in the distance and showed a smile.
Sometimes it feels good to use your rights occasionally.
Her father is the director of Shonan Station, and her mother is one of the major shareholders behind Joaquin.
This is her innate advantage.
She pushed up her glasses.
These glasses are new ones she bought.
It's not trendy, but it feels good to wear.
Much better than Lu Yuan's.
"Wow, you play the piano so well..."
"Can I touch the piano?"
"Um...my name is Lu Yuan, you are..."
"ah?"
"I will also play the piano in the future and become a very, very powerful person!"
"Can you teach me?"
"Thanks……"
vaguely……
There seemed to be a sound.
She smiled again.
Lu Yuan, I’ll see how you make this next move. If you don’t make it, I will slowly eat away at all your headlines.
If you fight back...
I still have a backup plan!
…………………………
"Director Shen, Director Shen...Congratulations to Director Shen for making another movie..."
"Director Shen, Director Shen... Do you want to consider our nutrition package?"
"Director Shen?"
"Director Shen, don't be like this. I hope you can choose us. Our prices are fair and very favorable."
"We no longer provide Lu Yuan's lunch boxes. I have broken up with Lu Yuan's family!"
"Trust me, okay, Director Shen!"
Liu Jin stood at the door of Joaquin with a silly smile.
He had been standing there for hours...
This was his first time coming to Yanjing.
But this does not affect his excitement...
When he saw Shen Lianjie coming, he immediately rushed towards Shen Lianjie with a smile on his face.
Even if the security guards stop him, he doesn't care.
