Entertainment: Starting from the king of crossover singers

Chapter 123 Don't Like Friendship Acting? Don't play a friendly role in "Legend of Sword".

A day ago, Mei Zhengyi, the chairman of Ali Pictures, invited Li Qing and Chang Renhao to his company headquarters for an interview on the grounds of inquiring about the progress of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Li and Chang naturally knew what was going on. Two days after "I Am an Actor" was taken off the shelves, the limelight passed, and when it was re-released later, the box office collapsed.

The three have just jointly invested in "Sword" and "Prequel", and they get along well. The director team and main actors are trendy, the screenwriter is sharp, and Ali is a promotional resource. They can be said to complement each other.

Now because of the "Void Marriage Proposal", one is unimportant in the eyes of the two, and the reason for one's death is that one party has lost tens of millions of profits and face. Naturally, Ali Pictures, a giant in the entertainment industry, is here to explain .

Sure enough, as expected by the two of them.

Mei Zhengyi just asked about the editing progress of "Sword" and then changed his tune.He asked: "Chang Dong, the Golden Melody Award winner of your company, is he going to focus on singing instead of acting?"

coming!

Chang Renhao naturally understood the other party's threats and sarcasm, his expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Wu's acting skills are not bad, it's a pity not to act, with a good script and a good team, it's not a problem to be a leading man with a box office of tens of billions , I can't bear to part with the white money."

"Really?" Li Qing made a surprised expression at the right time, and said, "A film with tens of billions in box office? Impossible."

"It must be the sum of several dramas. If a drama breaks [-] billion, that's bragging." Chang Renhao's face changed slightly, and he continued: "If the conditions are right, it shouldn't be a big problem for a drama to break [-] billion at the box office. .”

"That's true, Xiao Ge has this ability. After all, he is the one who wrote the "Sword" series." Li Qing nodded in agreement.

Listening to the two singing together, Mei Zhengyi did not interrupt, took the cigarette handed by Chang Renhao and put it down, and picked up his own.

Seeing this, Chang Renhao hurried over, bowed his body, lit the fire with one hand, and blocked the fire with the other, with a smile on his face.

Li Qing smoothed things over and said, "I know Xiao Ge, he is young, he values ​​feelings. He was greatly helped by Ye Wen in "The King of Crossover Singers". Seeing Ye Wen's statement, he probably wanted to help out as soon as he got excited. I went, regardless of the consequences. People like this are rare in the entertainment industry these days, only those who know how to repay their kindness can become popular."

Mei Zhengyi said "hmm", he told Chang Renhao to sit down, threw a cigarette to Li Qing, and said with a sneer, "It's really rare. After finally becoming popular, it is rare to offend all theaters at the same time if I want to act in the future."

"Brother Mei, I have the audacity to call you Brother Mei, is that okay?" Chang Renhao asked.

Mei Zhengyi spread out her hands, signaling casually.

Chang Renhao laughed even wider, and said: "Ge Wu is still young, Brother Mei, you have a lot of adults, don't care about him like him. I will decide, and then I will choose two dramas with a box office of more than one billion for Alido alone. 5% split."

"Chang Dong, money is a trivial matter." Mei Zhengyi was overjoyed at first. He did not deny that Chang and Li said that Ge Wu could beat the box office. A Golden Melody Award winner has acting skills, and he is still busy with his career at the age of 30. At the peak age, the box office appeal is not comparable to that of ordinary traffic stars and young fresh meat.

Even if it is a bad movie, it would be a big deal for a traffic star to cut 5 to 6 million leeks, and Ge Wu can at least 1 million.

Therefore, he is still very satisfied with the box office profit proposed by Chang Renhao.

However, Ge Wu has not yet officially proved himself at the box office, so he dares to make trouble with the theaters and distributors, and has to beat and beat.

He continued: "The main reason is that I have suffered a small loss this time. It is difficult for me to deal with the group company. I am backed by such a big company and have not settled such a small matter. It is embarrassing."

Hearing this, Li Qing finally couldn't bear it any longer. How could there be so much shit? For a group company as big as Ali, as for causing you Mei Zhengyi trouble because of this matter, it's your fault.

Li Qing said: "Mr. Mei, there is something I want to ask."

"You said."

"Chang Dong and I came here to serve as peacemakers. I don't know who from Ye Wen's side came to intercede?"

"What's the meaning."

"Ge Wu also sent a statement. Ye Wen sent a lawyer's letter. How are you going to get back from her?" Li Qing asked curiously.

Mei Zhengyi: "..."

Find a fart, and have to apologize to others.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Qing pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said: "Could it be because Ye Wen only sings and doesn't act, and has no business relationship with you, and the other party is very popular and rising rapidly. Did the company dare not provoke her because they begged her to sing to increase ratings?"

"You, you, you." Mei Zhengyi pointed at Li Qing and was speechless, almost choked to death by the other party's long-winded speech. Why didn't I hear that the chairman of Trend is so hurtful, and he can speak so well, every sentence stabbed him in the bottom of his heart Son, the truth hurts.

Chang Renhao was silent at the side, and he naturally knew this truth, but it's a pity that Feng Mang's stature is a little small after all, if he said these words, that person would be offended to death.

Li Qing walked over and patted Mei Zhengyi on the shoulder, and said, "Mr. Mei, let's talk about the rules."

Call ~
Mei Zhengyi paused for a while, and said, "Ge Wu doesn't want to 'act in friendship', so please don't act in "Legend of Sword"."

"It's not so good, Brother Mei, Xiao Wu is the hero in "Prequel", and has a plot line with "Sword"." Chang Renhao said.

Mei Zhengyi lit a cigarette, took a puff and said with a smile, "If he doesn't play the male lead in "Prequel", wouldn't there be no plot involvement?"

Hearing this, Li Qing was overjoyed, my darling, this is not exactly what Ge Wu's wish was, he originally wanted to play the Jiu Sword Immortal, if he hit the right path, it can be regarded as no loss.

He was about to grit his teeth and agree when he saw the dark-faced Chang Renhao speak.

"Mr. Mei, I'm in charge. Just increase the box office split to 10%. Let's forget about it."

"Chang Dong, sometimes face is more important than money. If I don't express my opinion, the people under my command will not be very obedient in the future." Mei Zhengyi did not hesitate this time and directly objected.

Seeing that the situation had froze again, Li Qing winked at Chang Renhao, and then hurried to speak: "Well, let Ge Wu have a long memory, and let him play the wine sword fairy, anyway, this kid was in a variety show before. Li likes to act old, this time let him play a middle-aged man."

"Jiu Jianxian? I don't have any impression, it's fine." Mei Zhengyi agreed, and made excuses to go out without waiting for the two of them to talk.

After leaving Ali's gate, Li Qing called Chang Renhao to his car, and asked the driver to buy a pack of cigarettes by the way.

"Dong Li, it's not easy for Xiaowu to play the leading role. He wrote the script himself." Chang Renhao said with a sigh.

"Fart, didn't he tell you, he just wanted to play the Sword Immortal of Wine, but I rejected it at that time." Chang Renhao rubbed his stomach and smiled, cool, nothing has been lost this trip.

"I didn't listen to him." Chang Renhao confided, and the result was acceptable. As for making Mei Zhengyi smile, it's a trivial matter.

"It's true, you can ask."

"Forget it, what you said must be true."

"Chang Dong, will you return the 10% box office share?"

"Give a fart."

Hahaha……

The hearty laughter of the two old men came from the car.

After a while, the laughter gradually disappeared. The younger ones told the older ones. When telling Ge Wu, they only talked about the result, not the process.

"Hey, Chang Dong, you have worried a lot about that kid."

"He also took the blame for me, each other."

……

That afternoon, after Li Qing returned to Trend Media, he convened a small-scale high-level meeting to discuss the role change in "Prequel".

Liu Xijian didn't express his opinion on changing roles, but asked about other things.The statement released by Ge Wu this time included Han Jianfa by the way. Now the two pillars of Fengmang have offended all the theaters at the same time. In the future, any movies related to these two people will inevitably be rejected, which will indirectly affect the prospects of Fengmang. These two people are still shareholders of Fengmang Film and Television, so they should be held accountable, at least some money should be paid.

"Liu Dong, a long-term strategic partner, don't worry about it so much, and look far ahead. In addition, the winner of the Golden Melody Award, who is less than 30 years old, has a few songs from last year, and now often climbs to the top [-] on music websites. The singer's fan appeal and box office harvesting ability are nothing compared to this small trouble, I believe the theaters will not be too targeted." Li Xiaohan said.

As a loyal loyalist of the chairman, he also talked with Li Qing about Ge Wu and his views on Feng Mang's senior management. Knowing that Li Qing would not delve too deeply into this matter, he naturally wanted to take the lead in expressing his support.

"Believe it?" Liu Xijian sneered, "I still believe that Chengwen can have a box office appeal of 10 billion. Doesn't the company have no one to support it?"

As soon as the words came out, the other shareholders in the conference room didn't respond. Who doesn't know that Liu Chengwen, a trendy star, has a chaotic private life, gambling, and a good face that grows on a dog. I'm afraid that they will lose all.

After a short silence, the shareholder surnamed Zhang broke the silence and asked Liu Xijian and his son how much shares they had before they reduced their holdings in the name of "improving life".

Li Xiaohan also asked by the way why a first-line actor and a shareholder of a company with a market value of [-] billion would sell stocks to improve his life.

"I'm not optimistic about Fengmang Film and Television. I think it will drag down the trend." Liu Xijian said with a pale face.

When the others were about to express their opinions, Li Qing interrupted. He asked everyone to continue discussing the matter of changing roles. He did not nod after mentioning several names on the list. The male lead lavishly praised.

In the end, the role was decided.

The next day was the day when Li Xiaoyao memorized his lines alone and Jiu Jianxian told Zhao Linger a story.Trend Media's stock trading volume suddenly increased, from about 2 million per day on weekdays to 11 billion, an increase of 8%, which wiped out the decline since Liu Xijian and his son announced the reduction of holdings.

On the third day, when the market opened in the morning, the stock price rose by inertia, reaching a high of 3%, and then fell slowly, and finally closed with a slight drop of 0.45%, with a turnover of 15 billion.

On the fourth day, two first-line stars of Trend Media publicly announced that they would not renew their contracts, and the stock price fell by 3%.

On the fifth day, a photo became a hot search. The exterior wall of Liu Chengwen's villa was splashed with paint, with the words "repay the money" written on it. The stock price of Trend Media plummeted. Gambling debts, and there is a huge funding gap, so it is possible to count the stocks if they are all sold.

……

At 1 a.m. on January 12, in Hengdian, the crew of "Prequel" held the opening ceremony. The air was filled with a pungent sulfur smell, and the ground was densely covered with red whip flowers and golden paper.

The production crew, which should have been bustling with excitement, even while waiting for the props crew to install equipment, there was not much chatter.

Think about it too, anyone who knows at work that there are major changes in a company that has been steadily rising is still bad news, and he is not in a good mood.

Ge Wu has nothing to do about it, he really wants to take Wang Mu's electric horn and yell twice, the big drop in trendy stocks has nothing to do with you, the stock price has risen, and I haven't seen you pay more wages.

But it's not up to him, an outsider, to say this. Although they get along well, they are two companies after all.

"Brother Wu, Chang Dong is on the phone."

Just when he was thinking about whether to ask Wang Mu to tell everyone a few words, Guo Fei walked over with his mobile phone.

"Didn't you tell Fourth Brother not to call when filming?"

"Say it, he still wants you to pick it up."

Ge Wu answered the phone and apologized to Wang Mu, walked aside and asked, "Fourth brother, what's the matter."

"Let Wang Mu shoot other people's scenes first, Li Dong will send others to watch on the set, you go back to the magic city first." Chang Renhao spoke a little faster than usual, and his tone was more determined.

"it is good."

Ge Wu didn't hesitate much, and touched the director's booth, just as Wang Mu had just hung up the phone, and nodded to him, indicating that he could leave.

"It seems that the matter is not small." Ge Wu thought in his heart. He didn't leave directly, but whispered to Wang Mu, "Director Wang, no matter what happens, "Prequel" must be filmed well."

"I know."

Ge Wu asked Guo Fei to buy a plane ticket, and went back to Shanghai alone, leaving his assistant on the set.

Halfway through, I figured out what was going on.

I don’t know who got involved in the capital injection. XX sent an inquiry letter, asking Trend Media to announce the details as soon as possible. There were rumors in the market that Li Qing was suspected of transferring the assets of listed companies, and the stock price fell again.

He is a sharp shareholder and has to go back and sign various documents.

"What are these things called?"

Ge Wu felt that the tidal current matter had sounded a wake-up call for him. Some things should be done according to the regulations above, and they must not be opportunistic.

Li Qing's original intention was to stabilize the stock price, and then announced it at the time when "Sword" was shot. He didn't expect the stock price to react so strongly when all kinds of bad news came together in the recent period.

After getting off the plane and getting in Fengman's car, he looked at Trend's stock price, which fell from a high of 11 yuan last week to 6 yuan.

This is a long time for a company with a stable main business and a market value of 30 billion yuan. In the past, it may fluctuate only a little in a few months, and it is difficult to make a difference. Now it has fallen by more than [-]% within a week.

Back at the company, Fengman's employees are similar to before, still busy, and will greet him with a smile when they see him.
