Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 174 The Cinema Is Blocked

Zhou Ziheng understood why Wang Zhiwen made such a suggestion.

First, he was unhappy with the people of Hong Kong and wanted Zhou Ziheng to take them all away.

Second, for the crew’s status.

Where there are people, there is a world.

As long as there is a world of martial arts, there will always be people who want to compete with each other.

In the small world of the crew, if Zhou Ziheng is the best in the world, then Wang Zhiwen is now the third or fourth.

There are a few people ahead of him, such as Tony Leung Ka Fai and Li Zhi.

Needless to say, Li Zhi's situation was very special. Firstly, she did not participate in any fights in the crew. Secondly, she was a mainlander herself, but she had been in Hong Kong for many years, so she could get along well on both sides.

But Tony Leung is different.

Although Wang Zhiwen could get along with him quite well.

But the two had only known each other for a short while.

Wang Zhiwen would only be happy if he could get rid of him.

But will Zhou Ziheng agree with Wang Zhiwen’s suggestion?

Obviously it is impossible.

Tony Leung came to this crew to perform for free.

I did it for Zhou Ziheng's sake.

If Zhou Ziheng dares to do such a thing in this situation, his spine will be broken in the future.

Moreover, to be honest, Zhou Ziheng actually feels that his relationship with Tony Leung is better.

As for Wang Zhiwen and the Beijing circle he belongs to.

To be honest, except for a few people, his relationship with others is average.

After rejecting Wang Zhiwen, Zhou Ziheng found it more and more interesting the more he thought about it on the way back.

In his previous life, he had heard some rumors about the Beijing circle, but he never took them seriously.

After what happened to Wang Zhiwen today, he suddenly felt that the saying that the Beijing circle has always excluded others, which has been circulated in later generations, might not be a rumor.

Even his crew, with just one person from the Beijing circle joining, has already started to expand his own circle.

However, this is not all bad for him.

It won't do him any harm to have a circle at the forefront of the fight against the Hong Kong circle.

Anyway, he is unhappy with some people in the Hong Kong circle.

……

Zhou Ziheng is unhappy with the Hong Kong circle.

The fact is that the Hong Kong circle is also unhappy with him now.

Especially after the incident with the "Tazza" crew was revealed.

It is very necessary for the Hong Kong circle to maintain their superior status.

This status can bring tangible benefits.

Previously, when filming co-productions with mainland film studios, the staff from Hong Kong who went north always did the least work and received the most money.

Now, Zhou Ziheng suddenly seeks equality.

He was not wrong.

But this has actually affected the interests of the Hong Kong community.

If Zhou Ziheng is allowed to continue like this, it won’t be long before the treatment of Hong Kong artists and staff will be at risk.

So, after the incident with the crew of "Tazza" came out.

The Hong Kong circle began to spontaneously discredit Zhou Ziheng.

"Zhou Ziheng is a dishonest person. He came to Hong Kong, but we didn't treat him differently.

I didn’t expect that when he became rich and brought his crew back to Guangdong, he would immediately start treating us Hong Kong people differently.”

"I don't like Zhou Ziheng. He is indeed a person with outstanding musical talent, but I don't agree with his character."

"I won't be in any movie that Zhou Ziheng is in, let him have fun on his own!"

First, someone slandered Zhou Ziheng in the media and misled public opinion.

These public opinions have more or less caused a lot of impact on Zhou Ziheng in Hong Kong.

Many fans who originally liked Zhou Ziheng left the ranks of Zhou Ziheng's fans after seeing these smearing news. "Zhou Ziheng really disappoints me. I didn't expect he is such a person."

“Stop being a fan, stop being a fan, stop being a fan!”

Many of Zhou Ziheng’s fans have made such remarks.

Slanderous news is secondary.

This kind of situation has happened to Zhou Ziheng many times since he became famous.

Every now and then, someone would discredit him and make his fans leave.

However, as fans leave, new fans will naturally join.

Every time a record is released, it always brings him a large number of fans.

In addition, it is impossible for Zhou Ziheng to sit idly by and allow these scandals to continue for a long time.

A piece of smear news appeared this morning. Before the afternoon, Zhou Ziheng's public relations team will start public relations.

Provide evidence to explain the situation, or ask the newspaper to retract the news.

After all these measures, these smears will not only fail to bring him down, but will instead increase his popularity.

The biggest impact of this incident on Zhou Ziheng is probably the increased rejection of him by the Hong Kong circle.

With the support of some people, Huang Jiajun participated in several programs, discrediting Zhou Ziheng and complaining to ordinary audiences in an pitiful manner.

On the other hand, the Hong Kong circle began to spontaneously exclude Zhou Ziheng.

First, let’s look at Hengyu Cinemas.

If a cinema chain wants to survive for a long time, it is naturally impossible to rely on just one or two movies or one company.

In particular, Hengyu Films is still very weak and is not enough to support the cinema chain.

In this case, if cinema chains want to develop, they have to reach strategic cooperation with other film companies and release their films in cinemas.

Hengyu Cinemas is about to be officially established, and Zhou Ziheng has arranged people to negotiate with local Hong Kong film companies.

Originally, the cinema chain had reached a cooperation intention with Yongsheng, and Yongsheng would release future films at Hengyu.

But recently, Yongsheng directly went back on its word.

Not only Yongsheng, but other production companies also disagreed to release the film in Hengyu.

The most ruthless one is Golden Harvest.

Golden Harvest has announced that any film shown in Golden Harvest's cinema chains will not be allowed to be shown in Hengyu.

Otherwise, they will refuse to cooperate with the production company and the cinema chains under Golden Harvest will no longer cooperate with this company.

Eliminate dissidents, and exclude dissidents openly and honestly.

After Golden Harvest did this, Oriental Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas issued similar announcements.

"Hengyu is in a bad situation this time! He was actually ostracized by everyone."

Many people saw the announcement.

Some people gloated over his misfortune, while others were worried about Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng didn't expect that the Hong Kong circle was so ruthless. In order to deal with him, they actually joined forces.

You know, since the year before last, Hong Kong cinema chains have abandoned the 1980s model of only showing their own films in their own cinemas.

It was changed so that it can be shown in all theaters.

For example, "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" was released in Oriental Cinemas and some Golden Harvest cinemas at the same time.

The cinema model in mainland China in later generations was actually learned from Hong Kong at that time.

Movies from rival companies can be shown in each other's theaters and make money.

Wanda Cinemas has many movies invested by Tencent and Alibaba.

"Haha, the agreement we signed before was a piece of shit!"

Zhou Ziheng was so angry that he couldn't help but sneer.

Those guys in the Hong Kong circle thought they could block him in this way, but they are overthinking.

The quality of Hong Kong films has been declining sharply in recent years.

If there are no films from other companies to be released, then just look for Hollywood blockbusters yourself.

Make money! Not shabby.
