That evening, several senior executives of Huayang Media, as well as several friends from outside the industry, were invited to Huang Zhonglei's home for a wine tasting.
Zhong Shuai also came and said that Zhang Hanyu would also star in Li Qian's new movie.
"If he doesn't come, I now know how difficult it is to work with Guangxian. He can't even find an actor."
Huang Zhonglei shook his head. He had just opened the 1961 Petrus that he had treasured for many years, and he was still feeling a little sore.
After hearing this, I felt a little better.
You, Li Qian, are so arrogant that even the deputy chairman of Huayang Media personally came to your door and refused the invitation.
What now?
It’s not like we have to use their actors!
However, thinking of Li Qian's previous request, Huang Zhonglei frowned again.
"Isn't he planning to release it before New Year's Day? By then Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao will have to participate in the promotion of "Assembly", so how can they take care of his movie?"
"I also mentioned it at that time."
Zhong Shuai took a sip of the red wine in his glass and kept thinking about the 61-year-old Bordeaux wine king in his mouth. After a few seconds, he continued.
"What he means is that after almost half a month, Deng Chao will follow him to promote it. By then, we will have released it for almost half a month, and Zhang Hanyu will go to him again."
Huang Zhonglei sneered, "Did he know it would be half a month?"
He originally wanted to schedule "Assembly" to be released at the end of December, to treat Li Qian and let him know that the sky is high and the sky is high.
However, the investment in this film is not small, so there is no need to lose your temper and give up the prime time period of the Lunar New Year movie.
Next to him, the most important partner of Huayang Media, the CEO of Focus Media, Jiang Nanchun, analyzed with a smile, "This Li Qian used Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao to show his goodwill."
"Mr. Jiang is right."
Huang Zhongjun nodded, "This Li Qian is not simple. In this case, we will not be able to cause any obstacles for him."
Everyone thought the same thing. Even if Li Qian's "Jaws" has been seen by millions of people, it is still his first time on the big screen, and he has to face two blockbusters, "Jaws" and "Assembly".
Even if I hid until the end of the month and avoided the glare of two blockbusters, I would still be under tremendous pressure after all.
In the same schedule, they are all opponents.
In their view, Li Qian's visits to Deng Chao and Zhang Hanyu were nothing more than a gesture of goodwill to Huayang.
"This Li Qian looks dumbfounded. I didn't expect him to be a little thoughtful."
Huang Zhonglei was a little surprised. After being rejected outright by Li Qian because of his age, he thought he was just a young man who didn't know what he was talking about. Unexpectedly, it was quite extraordinary.
"However, things are never that simple."
Huang Zhongjun shook his head. Since Li Qian and Guangxian cooperated, this matter would not be that easy.
The domestic film market has always been the domain of Huayang and Bernard. Although Zhang Weiping has Zhang Yimou's trump card, he has no intention of further development.
Guangxian's entry into the film industry is something neither Huayang nor Bernard want to see. Huang Zhongjun and Yu Dong have a tacit understanding and work together to curb Guangxian's development in the film industry.
After all, it is the largest media giant in the country. Once Guangxian gets a foothold in the industry, he will steal their jobs.
As for Chengtian's entry, there is no other way. Han Sanping has plans for a blockbuster movie and wants to hit the Southeast Asian market. The two of them can't stand it.
If you can't hold back, then join in. Bernard has participated in part of the investment and wants a share of the pie.
What Huang Zhongjun wants to deal with is not Li Qian, but to nip Guangxian, a future competitor, in the bud as much as possible.
However, Li Qian found Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao to star. On the surface, Huayang Media still couldn't make it too obvious. After all, they are their own actors.
Moreover, faced with the pressure of two blockbusters, even if the schedule was confirmed, there was really a gap of half a month, Huang Zhongjun felt that there was no need to waste energy on doing more.
Then Zhong Shuai said that when he went to Li Qian's studio, he saw Wang Jinghua's car.
"Although I don't know what happened, it seems that Wang Jinghua also suffered from Li Qian."
"This Li Qian is capable and arrogant. It's probably Wang Jinghua who made some request."
Huang Zhongjun didn't take it seriously, it was just Wang Jinghua. If she hadn't taken the first step, Huang Zhongjun would have kicked her away sooner or later.
And with Wang Jinghua's ambition, Wu Kebo would not be able to tolerate it sooner or later.
At that time, either Wu Kebo will drive him away, or he will once again take the artists away on a large scale.
Huang Zhonglei's family was chatting and laughing while drinking wine, but Yu Dong was a little unhappy.
"Are you sure Li Qian has found Zhang Hanyu again?"
"Nine times out of ten, it shouldn't be wrong."
"What on earth does Huang Zhongjun want to do!"
It is inevitable that there are bad people among the masses. Every company basically has people inside other companies, so it is very easy to get some information.
Originally, both parties had a tacit understanding and deliberately curbed Guangxian's development in the film industry.
Last year, Guangxian got involved in "Scar City" in order to use Guangxian's publicity resources to cope with the impact of "The Golden Armor".
But control is still firmly in Bernard's hands, as is the case with several other unreleased films.
Now Guangxian has roped in a potential director, and it will be released at the end of December. It is supposed to be the common opponent of "The Call to Action" and "Assembly Number".
But now, the two leading actors are both from Huayang Media, so Yu Dong couldn't help but think about it no more.
Could it be that Huang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian went together?
Huang Zhongjun, you big-browed guy also betrayed the alliance!
However, Guangxian is not as good as Xiaoma and Ciwen. Once he establishes a foothold in the film industry and uses Guangxian's TV network channels all over the country, it will directly threaten the interests of both of them.
Yu Dong thought for a while and called Huang Zhongjun to test Huang Zhongjun's thoughts.
After receiving the answer, Yu Dong finally let go of his doubts.
"This Li Qian is a little clever."
The choice of an actor made the two major companies think about it.
If Li Qian knew what they were thinking, he would tell them that you are overthinking.
The next morning, Guo Fan showed Li Qian a list of supporting actors.
"Boss, I think Liao Fan is quite suitable to play the murderer."
"Liao Fan?"
Li Qian looked at the information and found that he was from Huayang again.
Shaking his head, "Let's change it to someone else. If I use someone from Huayang, I'm afraid Guangxian won't be able to sit still."
"This actor must at least exceed Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao in terms of height and body shape. After all, the murderer restrained them both several times. If he is not strong enough, it will be too inconsistent."
After flipping through the actor's information, he saw a somewhat familiar actor. Li Qian pointed at him and said, "Just him, Wang Jinpeng. He's tall enough, not weak in physique, and has an evil streak."
"Okay, I'll contact you later."
Although he agreed to audition by himself and Li Qian appointed actors, there were still a few supporting roles.
In the past, it was Qi Yukun who auditioned for these small supporting roles, but this time Qi Yukun was watching from the studio, and Guo Fan could finally enjoy the audition experience.
Nothing happened anymore, so Li Qian planned to go back and stay in seclusion to continue writing storyboards.
However, before leaving the studio, I saw Zhang Zhao walking towards me worriedly.
