Chapter 149 The Case Has Been Solved

On August 8, the long-awaited Olympic Games finally opened officially.

Mainland China's No. 1 director, Zhang Yimou, presented a splendid opening ceremony to audiences around the world.

More than one billion people around the world watched the opening ceremony via live broadcast, making it the highest-rated television broadcast in history.

In various countries around the world, Milijian's ratings reached 18.6%, far exceeding the yellow-green battle of the NBA Finals that just ended.

The ratings of Neon and Nanbang reached around 40%, and 45 artists around the world

The eyes of the whole world are focused on the Bird's Nest, and the whole world is paying attention to China.

With the official opening of the Olympic Games, the Olympic Games has become the hottest news nowadays.

Every day's competition touches the hearts of countless spectators.

Archery, beach volleyball, sailing, weightlifting, speedboat...these are unpopular sports that usually don't attract much attention, but a large group of people stay in front of the TV every day to cheer them on.

One by one, little-known athletes became well-known to the common people and became famous.

At this time, by winning a gold medal, an athlete's fame in a short period of time can be compared to that of any first-line star.

Once you become famous and known all over the world, it's perfect.

The atmosphere in the entire country is in an extremely exciting state. The most popular news in the media every day is which athlete won the gold medal, where he is from, and whether there has been any change in the medal list.

Not only are various countries competing for the medal list, but the media also lists the medal lists of each province. Every time athletes in the province achieve good results, the people are also honored.

In contrast, the film and TV drama markets are also facing a rapid cooling down.

"Jaws" only had 19 million left at the box office in its third week, and its total box office successfully exceeded 100 million in 19 days of release, reaching 111 million.

"127 Hours" suffered a slightly smaller decline, earning 6 million in its third week, with a total box office of 29 million in 18 days.

The box office of "Red Cliff" in its sixth week was also 6 million, with a total box office of 296 million.

"Jaws: The Revenge" and "127 Hours", two commercial films with relatively good reputations, were released and had a great impact on "Red Cliff".

Originally, "Red Cliff" had no other rivals during the entire summer season. Even if it had a mediocre reputation, the audience had no choice. This was the only movie they could watch, and it still did well at the box office.

But now, viewers have more choices.

And comparison only hurts. With two high-reputation commercial movies for comparison, "Red Cliff" has been criticized even more.

...

Despite the National Olympics, the film and television industry has not lost its attention, and several movies are still active in entertainment news.

Moreover, as the media discovered a new topic, slowly more and more media, film critics, and filmmakers analyzed the two movies from various angles to prove whether it was filmed by Qi Yukun and Guo Fan, or whether it was Li Qian.

Shot from behind.

No one with a little bit of brain would doubt it, but as long as there is a topic, they don't mind losing their brain temporarily.

Moreover, Qi Yukun and Guo Fan, two people with no academic background and no directing training, made their first movie at a young age and it was a box office hit. Many people in the industry were particularly jealous.

Anyway, based on the premise that this is Li Qian's work, I found the similarities between these two films and Li Qian's previous three films, and then made a long speech and quoted classics to express that this is Li Qian's directorial style.

Deceiving yourself and others can be regarded as a way to vent, to make the envy and jealousy in your heart feel better.

However, it has no impact on the movie itself.

And the initiator of all this, Huayang Media, has stopped taking the lead and is just joining in the fun.

Because Huang Zhonglei failed successively at Guo Fan and Qi Yukun, which was obviously a failure, and there was no need to spend any more energy.

The Huang brothers, Chen Guofu, distribution director Sun Ao, and publicity director Zhu Mo were in the conference room discussing the film business for next month.

""Li Mi's Conjecture" is scheduled to be released on the 18th of next month. Ningxia Film Group's "Painted Skin" has been scheduled to be released on the 26th. Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei will inevitably have a fight by then, so "Li Mi's Conjecture"

Let’s warm up, Zhu Mo and your Propaganda Department should also make preparations early.”

"I understand, Director Huang."

Zhu Mo nodded. Two stars with the same status were starring in the same movie. When the movie was promoted, the teams behind both sides would definitely have to fight openly and secretly.

No one wants to be the second female lead, supporting a star of the same level, but it is very embarrassing.

Once the identity of the second female lead is confirmed, most of the fruits of the film's success will belong to the other party.

Moreover, in the minds of advertisers, investors, and audiences, there will also be subtle changes in the understanding of the two actors.

"Zhonglei, you also have to find Pang Hong from Ningxia Film Group." Huang Zhongjun looked at Huang Zhonglei again.

"Don't worry, brother, there is no problem."

Huang Zhonglei immediately agreed. The movie "Painted Skin" itself is Zhou Xun's number one female lead. This has been the decision from the beginning of the project.

Coupled with the support of Huayang, Ningxia Film Group naturally knows what to do.

If it weren't for Donnie Yen's huge solo role, as long as Ningxia Film Group cooperated, they could even market "Painted Skin" as Zhou Xun's leading female lead.

"Don't worry, don't worry, that's what I say every time!"

Huang Zhongjun became angry when he heard this. He clenched his fists with five fingers and knocked twice on the conference table.

His tone was a little serious, "You went to Li Qian before and said you were relieved before you left. This time you went to Guo Fan and Qi Yukun to reassure me, but nothing was done!"

"Then Li Qian is insane, and Guo Fan is not much better!"

Huang Zhongjun was ashamed to be taught such a lesson in front of outsiders.

Now that he thought about being tricked by Guo Fan once, he still felt angry because he was so crazy.

Huang Zhongjun asked unceremoniously, "What about Qi Yukun? He is also sick?"

"he..."

Qi Yukun was still a normal person, and he kept up appearances when they met, and did not play tricks on him like the two psychopaths Li Qian and Guo Fan did.

"Staying with two psychopaths means you are not a normal person even if you are not sick."

Huang Zhonglei is somewhat lacking in confidence, and his failure in communication three times in a row is indeed his dereliction of duty.

But I remembered the last words Guo Fan said that day, so I said, "By the way, that Guo Fan said that he had cooperated with us and that he drew the comics of "The King of Kung Fu". Is there such a thing?"

"When the project of "The King of Kung Fu" was established, I did find someone to draw a prequel comic to promote it, but that was all the year before last."

Zhu Mo, who was in charge of publicity, nodded, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

Before a press conference for "The King of Kung Fu" last year, a manager who was following him walked away in the middle of the press conference. When he came back, he had a comic manuscript in his hand.

So I talked about the matter and called Manager Wang over.

Seeing the two Mr. Huang and several senior executives of the company present, Manager Wang was stunned. When would it be his turn to have a meeting of this kind?

Could it be?

Manager Wang suddenly couldn't help but feel his heart pounding with excitement.

get promoted?

"Did you ask Guo Fan to draw the previous comic for "The King of Kung Fu"? Did he deliver the manuscript in the company lobby last year?"

Zhu Mo's question interrupted his reverie. Hearing the unfamiliar name Guo Fan, he was a little confused, but he still nodded and answered.

He and Guo Fan handed over that comic, and they had been in contact with it several times. After "127 Hours" became a hit, after repeated confirmations, it was confirmed that this was the Guo Fan who was kicked out by him.

However, he didn't know that Huayang planned to recruit Guo Fan and asked the media to report the estrangement news. In order not to leak the secrets, Zhu Mo contacted him personally.

Upon hearing his admission, Huang Zhonglei immediately asked coldly, "Did you offend him at the beginning?"

offend?

Manager Wang was a little confused. At that time, he was the manager of a big company, and Guo Fan was just a drafter. The relationship was not equal. Why did I offend him?

However, looking at the formation and Huang Zhonglei's expression, he also realized something was wrong.

Although he didn't know what was wrong, he still denied it, "Mr. Huang, at that time he came with his friends to deliver the manuscript. After delivering it, he left. Nothing happened."

friend?

"Who did he come with?"

"..."

After meeting him once, he didn't know who it was. He only remembered that the person seemed quite cool.

"I don't know either, I don't know him."

After staring at Manager Wang twice, Huang Zhongjun waved his hand, "Okay, you can go out."

Manager Wang felt like he was being pardoned and quickly left the conference room.

I thought there was something good going on, but an old score was brought up. Who knew at that time that Guo Fan could really become a director and become a big hit at the box office?

In the conference room.

"Now everything is clear, it's all because of that idiot!"

Huang Zhonglei directly threw the blame to Manager Wang. He must have offended Guo Fan in the first place, which led to him holding a grudge. This time he found an opportunity to trick himself.

Zhu Mo suddenly said again, "Just now he said that someone else came with Guo Fan. Could that person be Li Qian?"

Li Qian?

Everyone was slightly stunned, they really didn't expect this.

"I checked the time, and at that time Guo Fan was already filming "Sniper Phone Booth" with Li Qian. Counting the launch time, that day was probably the day when Li Qian came to Beijing to discuss cooperation with Galaxy Video."

"Then it's most likely Li Qian."

"I remembered it. I glanced over there and it seemed like it was really Li Qian."

Huang Zhonglei had a look of surprise on his face. Although he glanced in the corner when he heard the noise next to him that day, there were so many people at the scene that he couldn't remember who he saw.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was Li Qian. It made sense why these two lunatics, Li Qian and Guo Fan, played tricks on him twice in a row.

Chi Guoguo’s revenge!

Case solved!

No one expected that it would end up like this. Today's failure was just a mistake made by a small manager a year ago.

There was nothing they could do, and they had nothing to say.

"Let him finish this month."

Huang Zhongjun sentenced Manager Wang, who had ruined his affairs, to death and said nothing more.

It's all like this, there's no room for change.

Continuing to talk about business, "Zhong Lei, Zhu Mo, we cannot take the promotion of this National Day holiday lightly. Zhao Wei has gone through ups and downs in recent years. It is not easy. Director Zhang has just been transferred to the vice president of China Film. It is unclear whether he will be promoted or demoted.

And that Aunt Zhao has a lot of energy, so it won’t be that simple when the time comes.”

"Brother, let go..."

Huang Zhonglei quickly changed his words, "I will keep in touch with Ningxia Film Group at all times."

Zhu Mo also nodded, "The Propaganda Department and Public Relations Department will start preparations immediately."

Zhao Wei is not a simple person. Behind the scenes, the deputy director of the Film Bureau was transferred to the vice president of China Film. Although it seems that he was demoted, who can say for sure about this kind of thing.

Moreover, that Aunt Zhao is Zhao Wei's best friend, and sometimes women can be very good at sleeping with each other.

Although Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun are relatively good friends, the competition for the heroine of this 80-million-dollar production is probably going to be unsettling in the industry.

In so many years, this is the first time that a major production with an investment of 80 million has chosen a mainland actress other than Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi as the female lead.

It can be said that who is Gong Li, the first one after Zhang Ziyi, once the box office is a hit, she will be half a position ahead of other big actresses!

You already have fame and fortune, but friends are nothing in comparison!

Li Qian, Guo Fan, Qi Yukun and Huayang have completely given up now, so they focus all their energy on the National Day and Lunar New Year stalls.

.......

And Li Qian and the other three, who had troubled Huayang for so long, were holding a celebration press conference for "Jaws: Revenge" at the hotel.

If the box office exceeds 100 million, don't celebrate it properly.

Li Qian did not try to steal Qi Yukun's limelight, but he accepted an interview with the media after the celebration conference.

"With just a little thought, I can imagine that our three movies will be shot at the same time. Unless I know how to change seventy-two, how can I shoot three movies at the same time? I am so disappointed by the media that spread rumors. They actually came up with such a plan.

There is no nutritious topic.”

Li Qian's angry expression seemed to the reporters to be scolding them for being brainless.

We help you promote it with good intentions, but you turn around and scold us!

ungrateful!

ungrateful!

The devil will help you hype next time!

I cursed in my mind, but I still didn't forget to ask.

"Then why does Director Li support Director Qi Yukun and Director Guo Fan in making movies? They have never studied directing related majors."

"Those who can make movies do not necessarily have to have studied directing. They have participated in the production of many movies and have a deep understanding of movies. They have the ability and talent in this area, so I gave these two projects to them.

Already."

Before the reporter could ask another question, Li Qian smiled and said, "By the way, with the help of my friends from the media, I would like to publish an advertisement."

???

advertise?

What about advertising fees?

The reporters were also waiting for Li Qian to speak, and they were also guessing what Li Qian was talking about.

"I believe that there are many people in our country who are as capable as Qi Yukun and Guo Fan. They just lack an opportunity. It just so happens that I also have some spare money, so I am soliciting good film projects from all over the country, whether they are freshly graduated directing students or not.

As long as people who have studied directing have good projects, I am willing to invest in them, provided you can convince me."

"This advertisement will be effective for a long time. I hope that more people's talents will not be buried and more excellent movies will be discovered for the audience!"
