Chapter 809 809. The dust has settled
In the past, it would take at least an hour for this person in charge to get to work from getting up in the morning, but today he appeared in front of the office building in less than half an hour.
After entering the office building, he did not care to go to the office first, but went directly to the network department of the company. After all, this matter caused a stir on the Internet.
At this moment, there were a lot of people sitting in the network department of the company that manages various online publicity accounts. Most of these people were technicians in the network department, and they were called to the company by their superiors in the middle of the night.
As for what they were called to the company for, the superiors themselves did not know. Anyway, it was something that happened on the Internet, and the superiors did not care about that. They handed it over to these technicians to deal with. Even if they stared blankly, they had to stand at their posts, at least to let the person in charge see that they were serious and responsible.
The effect was still very good. In the morning, the person in charge came to the network department and saw that these technicians with dark eyes were all on duty in front of their computers, and they immediately showed a satisfied smile.
"How did the situation play out?" The person in charge asked the comrade in charge of this department.
"Not very optimistic. The discussion has not weakened tonight. Now the discussion on several websites has exceeded 50 million, and the comments left by netizens have exceeded one million. The direction of public opinion is also not favorable to us."
This answer gave the person in charge a headache. In the past two years, due to the prosperity of social platforms, the country has paid more and more attention to the voices of netizens. In the past, they could ignore it, but in the past two years, it has been impossible, because the voices of the online people also represent the voices of ordinary people. If you want to pretend not to see it, then the end that awaits you must be miserable.
"Have you contacted those platforms? Ask them to block these words as soon as possible, and prepare a notice. The content should be written according to the three words "no objection". Remember, there should be no content of a commitment nature in the draft. Do you understand?" The person in charge said.
This is also the way they always deal with such problems, so after hearing the order from the person in charge, the group immediately started to contact.
An hour later, when the person in charge was making tea in his office, someone knocked on the door of the office. When he was called in, it was the staff who had just been sent by him to contact those social networking website companies.
"How is the situation? Have those companies started to take action?" The person in charge poured himself a cup of tea and asked.
The staff member's face was not very good. After hearing the question of the person in charge, he smiled and replied: "So far, only two companies have been contacted. They said they would deal with it as soon as possible. As for Qianbaidu, iFlytek, Soli.com and Fanxing Media, their leaders have not yet come to work, but I have left their phone numbers for their staff and asked them to call us back immediately after they come to work."
"Then urge them again. Time is tight. It has caused such a big sensation at night. There are more people surfing the Internet in broad daylight. If it really causes a greater impact, it will be troublesome to deal with it." The person in charge frowned and said.
"Yes, yes, leader, don't worry, I will urge them right away." The staff member promised and left the office immediately.
The leader sitting at the tea table also lost interest in drinking tea. At this time, the person in charge also realized that there was something behind this matter. After all, those old guys had made trouble before, but they had never had the momentum of today.
And what time is it now? The main leaders of those companies have not come to work yet. Do they really think that the big bosses above them will not fire them?
There must be something wrong here. The more the person in charge thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. He began to guess who was behind these old guys making trouble.
The first thing the person in charge thought of was Huayi Company.
After all, the old guys were talking about "Assassin's League", and recently "Assassin's League" was attacked by those media. It is not impossible to play a trick to divert the trouble.
However, the person in charge soon denied this point himself. After all, the goal of doing so is not too obvious?
Besides, it is hard for him to think that there will be a film production company that dares to cause trouble for their censorship bureau. Isn't that also causing great trouble for themselves? After all, their censorship bureau can be said to control a major lifeline of these film production companies. Movies that fail to pass the review cannot be released no matter how good they are.
Of course, the person in charge actually has some fears in his heart. He really doesn't want to classify Huayi as his opposite. After all, the scale of the other company is not something that their unit can easily grasp. What's more, there are many Huayi relationships within the unit, and even he himself has received benefits from Huayi.
You should know that there is a toy factory in the suburbs of Beijing. There are very few workers in the whole factory, and there is only one manager in the leadership. There are two accountants and two guards who work in shifts, which add up to more than ten people.
There is only one N-hand production line in the whole factory, and it is not known whether it can be used. There is no raw material reserve, and few people come all year round.
What's interesting is that even though the factory is so shabby, there are always people who will invest with "money". After a few years of operation, there are already dozens of shareholders, which is several times the number of employees in this factory.
What's even more amazing is that this shabby and non-operating factory will have millions of dividends in the company's account every year.
These dozens of shareholders seem to have no relationship with each other, but if you really investigate, you will find that some of their relatives all work in a certain unit.
Coincidentally, a relative of this person in charge who is five generations away from his father is also one of the shareholders of this company, and he is also a major shareholder, with hundreds of thousands of dividends every year.
And this part of the money actually went into his pocket.
Otherwise, why have Huayi's films been approved so quickly in recent years, and basically all passed once, and there are very few works that are rejected more than twice? This is not only because Huayi pays great attention to sensitive aspects when making movies, but the key is that most of the people in the company have begun to take care of Huayi for various reasons.
This bias has even begun to be out of the control of this person in charge, which is also a point that he is afraid of Huayi Company. The other party has completely infiltrated his territory, but he has no way to do anything about it.
And he himself also feels that Huayi actually maintains a very good relationship with them, and there is really no need to make such a fuss. After all, among so many film production companies in the country, Huayi is definitely the film company that they have given the most green lights to, so why should they help these old guys to promote a film rating system?
It must be someone else. Through a series of brain supplements, this person in charge was the first to cross Huayi out of the list of the masterminds behind the scenes.
If he knew that this was planned by Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
At this time, Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei were no longer concerned about the hot news on the Internet. While the person in charge was busy, Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei completed the interview of the male and female protagonists of "Ghost Blowing Light" in an hour.
The reason why it was so fast was that there were only four people involved, Cheng Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin.
For this series of movies, the two agreed from the beginning that the actors must be selected from their own family, so the protagonist position of this movie was not publicly invited to audition.
At this time, Wang Zhonglei, Nie Wei and the director of this movie, Chen Jiashang, gathered in a small screening room in the company. The three of them gathered together not to watch any small movies, but to watch the audition videos of several actors just now.
"Cheng Kun's interpretation of the role is obviously a level higher than Huang Xiaoming. In terms of actresses, Zhou Xun is really good." Nie Wei gave his evaluation after watching the video twice.
Wang Zhonglei nodded without comment. As for Chen Jiashang, he would not have any objection. He was very clear about his position, that is, to film honestly. It is better not to get involved too much in the selection of actors.
"So, the combination of Cheng Kun and Zhou Xun is confirmed?" Wang Zhonglei asked Nie Wei, who nodded.
"We can continue to discuss the contract with Zhou Xun, but we should not care about the ten-year contract, which would make our company seem too impersonal. It's eight years. Ghost Blows Out the Light has exactly eight episodes, one a year, and it will be almost finished in eight years." Nie Wei said calmly while tidying up the evaluation form on the table.
Wang Zhonglei felt a toothache when he heard it. Is what Nie Wei said humane? For Zhou Xun's age, what is the difference between ten years and eight years?
Of course, despite complaining, Wang Zhonglei agreed with Nie Wei's words very much. Eight years, at least eight years should be signed.
Chen Jiashang lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard anything, but in his heart he had a new understanding of Nie Wei, thinking that capitalists are indeed capitalists, no matter how young or handsome they are, they will drink human blood.
At this time, the actors waiting in the grid lounge didn't know that Nie Wei had already decided the result, and everyone was waiting anxiously.
"Xun brother, do you think it can be done? Don't tell me that Nie Wei still remembers the incident a while ago and makes things difficult for us?" Zhou Xun's agent began to walk back and forth in front of Zhou Xun again, which made Zhou Xun upset.
Of course, without this agent messing around in front of her, her heart couldn't calm down.
Although she was very satisfied with her performance, after all, the decision was in the hands of Nie Wei and others. Who knew how they viewed her performance? You know, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people. Even Zhou Xun didn't think that everyone would like the role he interpreted.
Moreover, she was actually a little worried about the relationship between Nie Wei and Fan Binbin. Apart from other things, they had a good relationship, so would Fan Binbin know what kind of Shirley Yang Nie Wei liked better than herself?
Just when Zhou Xun was still worried, the landline phone in her lounge suddenly rang. Hearing the ringing of the phone, Zhou Xun hurried to the phone and picked it up. The agent who had been hanging in front of her also went over at this moment, and even listened to the phone almost face to face.
"Sister Zhou Xun, I am Xiao Tang, the secretary of Mr. Wang. If there is nothing urgent to do, please come to the No. 2 screening room immediately. Director Chen and Mr. Nie want to discuss some questions about the role with you. Remember to bring the script." When she said this, Xiao Tang paused, and then suddenly said: "Sister Zhou Xun, congratulations in advance."
"Thank you." Zhou Xun replied with a smile. In fact, when she heard that he was asked to take the script to the screening room for discussion, Zhou Xun had already guessed 70% of it, and when Xiao Tang's last congratulations, her heart was completely settled.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xun's face was a little red. Although she barely suppressed her excitement, she couldn't suppress her excitement.
As for the agent beside her, when he heard Xiao Tang's last words, he even screamed excitedly without waiting for Zhou Xun to hang up the phone.
"Xun brother, it's done, it's really done, the heroine of "Ghost Blowing Light" is yours, it's done!!!"
"I know, I know, don't get too excited." Zhou Xun smiled helplessly. How come this agent was more excited than herself when she heard the news?
The agent didn't care what Zhou Xun was thinking at this time. She just wanted to express the pressure in her heart. You know, she has been under so much pressure because of Zhou Xun's affairs.
She was worried too much. She was always worried about what would happen if Zhou Xun and the company fell out. She was also worried about whether Nie Wei would make things difficult for Zhou Xun. If Zhou Xun really broke up with the company, where would she go next, and if she went there, would she have the chance to be Zhou Xun's agent again.
Various thoughts lingered in her mind every day, making her unable to sleep peacefully for a while. Now, everything is finally settled. Zhou Xun can still sit firmly on the throne of Huayi's No. 1 sister because of the movie "Ghost Blowing Lights", and she doesn't have to worry about her career or changing her work environment. She can continue to be the agent behind Huayi's No. 1 sister.
There was a festive atmosphere in Zhou Xun's room, but the people on Fan Binbin's side were much more lonely.
"It doesn't matter, she did perform better." After receiving the news of being eliminated, Fan Binbin, who was depressed for a moment, still forced herself to cheer up, and even did not forget to encourage her companions around her.
She is no longer the rookie when she first filmed "My Fair Princess". After all the ups and downs over the years, Fan Binbin has long trained a strong heart. Losing an opportunity does not mean that she will not have other good opportunities in the future. If she keeps dwelling on this opportunity, Fan Binbin thinks it is unwise.
Of course, Fan Binbin was not prepared to congratulate Zhou Xun. At this time, Fan Binbin has already regarded Zhou Xun as the biggest competitor in her company. In the past, Zhou Xun always took some literary and artistic movies, but now that the other party intends to transform into a commercial business, Fan Binbin can no longer treat her normally.
Less than ten minutes later, Zhou Xun came to the No. 2 screening room with the script. After entering, she found that Nie Wei and Chen Jia were not there, but Cheng Kun was sitting inside. Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun immediately understood that it seemed that the male lead had been taken by Cheng Kun.
