Wu Wei and Zhou Hao's girlfriend Zhao Wen were in another lounge, and these women played two tables of mahjong.
The leader was the wife of the producer, the boss, but there were two people sitting at the top. One was Zou Chaochun's wife, and the other was Wu Wei, Xu Chuan's nominal girlfriend.
Wu Wei played a few times and then gave up her position with the excuse that she was not playing well.
It's not that she doesn't know how to play, but it's just that the other three companies are letting her play with no technical content, which is really boring.
Wu Wei also didn't expect that one day she would become the object of others' favour, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Not to mention that these women would turn on Xu Chuan without saying more than three sentences.
Of course, there were also all kinds of compliments, which made her skin crawl.
Some people also asked her about the foundation and how they could donate. They also wanted to do some charity.
Wu Wei patiently told these women that the foundation does not raise funds from outside.
"Does that mean that all the charity activities you are doing now are all your own money?" One of them looked at Wu Wei in surprise.
Wu Wei's foundation is relatively low-key, but it just doesn't do much publicity.
Previously, because someone had stolen Xu Chuan's song, this guy just flipped the table. Not only did he sue the other singer and the company, but he also asked the foundation to prepare a special fund to fund lawsuits by groups whose copyrights had been infringed.
This incident made a big fuss and brought Wu Wei's foundation into the public eye.
It was also because of this incident that Wu Wei changed from one of Xu Chuan's girlfriends to a philanthropist in charge of hundreds of millions of assets.
"Yes, of course he has to make some contributions to society if he has money."
Wu Wei seemed to be joking.
These women don't really care about any foundation, they are all asked deliberately by others.
Otherwise, if you have this time, why not buy new bags?
After playing a few rounds of cards, the door was pushed open, and Xu Chuan and Zhou Hao walked in from the outside.
A group of warblers quickly stood up to say hello.
Xu Chuan just nodded to them. He was here to pick up Wu Wei and leave.
"Director Xu is leaving now?"
One of the middle-aged women came over. She was the wife of the producer, and they had prepared this dinner.
"Well, we have something to do later."
Xu Chuan didn't say much, Wu Wei had already put on her coat at this time.
Zhou Hao glanced at his girlfriend Zhao Wen, who understood and stood up to leave.
"Editor Zhao, are you leaving too?"
Zhao Wen is now the editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine owned by Qisi Group, and has already occupied a place in the fashion circle.
"Yeah, I have an event to attend later."
This excuse is basically thrown out of hand.
Of course, the other party would not really dig into it. After a few polite words, Xu Chuan and others left the room.
Never mind what these women would say.
When Xu Chuan went out, he asked people to tell Yue Fei's life story.
Anyway, he didn't let anyone say bad things. Everyone can see whether this thing was taken seriously or not.
As for Li Sen's reaction, Xu Chuan didn't care at all. For those who went from Hong Kong to Hollywood and then came back, even if they were cut open, they would all be white inside.
But since you have come to China, you must abide by the rules. What rules? If he scolded his mother after eating, Xu Chuan would ask him to spit out what he had eaten.
Wu Wei didn't think anything happened, but Zhao Wen's reaction was quite fast.
"Oh, it seems our Young Master Xu has caused trouble again."
Xu Chuan curled his lips and ignored the other party. This woman was smart, but sometimes she showed her sharpness and didn't know how to hide her clumsiness.
How can she be so good as her own Xiaowei?
"Are you really causing trouble again?" Wu Wei looked at him curiously with her big eyes.
Well, everyone has curiosity.
"How can I cause trouble with such a good temper?"
Of course, Master Xu firmly refused to admit it.
However, Zhou Hao revealed his past, "Not only did he mess up Director Li Sen's next project, he also gave Zou Chaochun a bad rap."
"Zou Chaochun? Chairman of China Film?"
Zhao Wen looked at Xu Chuan in surprise. She had no idea that this guy was so fierce.
It's not that she thinks Xu Chuan will be afraid of the other party, but is it really necessary to forget this?
"I finally discovered that you are really good at grabbing each other's pigtails."
Zhou Hao said with a smile, Xu Chuan completely grasped the suspicion that this novel insulted the imperial officials.
Standing on the moral high ground, there is no fault in him at all.
What if I just scold you? If a person in the establishment has no political consciousness at all, is he being eaten by a dog?
Even if this incident made Zhong Nan happy, Xu Chuan would not take pictures.
As for future cooperation projects with Huaxia Film, if it were a private company, Xu Chuan might consider it. Zou Chaochun really has the final say there.
"It's okay. Believe it or not, Zou Chaochun will have to take the initiative to contact me later."
As long as he wants to make progress, he cannot completely offend Xu Chuan because of this matter, even if he may hold a grudge in his heart.
Everyone is paying attention to the box office on the first day of the Spring Festival. This time, a total of eight movies were released during the Spring Festival, among which the only big-producer was Jingzhong Yue Fei.
The others were all low-budget comedy films, and the only Hollywood production was Sheela's Life and Death Fight.
No wonder people like Li Sen think their box office can reach 1.5 billion.
From the outside, there really isn't anyone who can fight.
The result is indeed the same. The box office of Jingzhong Yue Fei on the first day exceeded 110 million, leading all opponents with an absolute advantage.
The second place has less than 50 million.
As for life and death fighting, there are only a pitiful 20 million.
In the eyes of Li Sen and others, this is definitely enough to open the champagne.
It has exceeded 100 million on the first day, which has broken the record of the Chinese film industry. It is certain that it will exceed 1 billion in one month of release, and the possibility of 1.5 billion is also very high.
However, the opposite of the first-day box office is the movie's reputation.
The reviews on the Internet, except for those paid film critics, are almost one-sided and scolding.
Almost everyone who watched it expressed anger at the casting of a national hero as a gangster.
In particular, the life-and-death ethnic hatred between the Song and Jin Dynasties was transformed into two gangs competing for territory.
This is absolutely unacceptable to the Chinese people.
Countless people retweeted the story about Yue Fei's life published by UC Media, and even directly liked Li Sen and a group of actors, and then started to curse.
Those celebrities who had forwarded their ticket stubs and then deleted them were lucky to have responded quickly.
Of course, the producer contacted Twitter and wanted to suppress the current popularity, but how could Twitter ignore them.
They also approached the navy groups to control the review, but even though they offered a very high price, those navy groups did not dare to accept the order.
In the end, the box office on the second day was cut in half.
"Director Xu, what do you want?"
Of course Zou Chaochun contacted Xu Chuan. If this continues, the investors of this film will lose their money.
"What do I want?" Xu Chuan was at Wu Wei's house watching TV with her.
Wu Wei turned down the TV volume and lay quietly in his arms.
"I didn't do anything, don't accuse me wrongly."
He really didn't do anything, he just stopped all the land-washing behavior of the producers and distributors.
Especially for those companies that cooperate with UC Technology, the APP is full of negative news about Jingzhong Yuefei.
Although Black and Red are also popular, for a movie that was only released for thirty days, the reputation collapsed on the first day and the box office was really over. They did not have time to monetize the traffic of Black and Red.
Zou Chaochun could only patiently explain to this guy, "Li Sen has a deep relationship with several international awards. There are some things that require him to stand up..."
"Alas."
Xu Chuan interrupted the other party directly, "You still don't understand what I mean, or do you really think what I said yesterday was fart?"
Wu Wei clenched her fist and hit him on the chest.
Xu Chuan immediately grabbed the other person's hand and continued talking to Zou Chaochun.
"What I said yesterday is that today you have killed China's national heroes, and tomorrow you plan to kill officials who died on the anti-Japanese hidden front. Are you planning to kill our family the day after tomorrow?"
"You think about it before you speak, I'm not kidding you."
Xu Chuan's tone was serious.
Zou Chaochun on the opposite side was stunned for several seconds, and seemed to understand what Xu Chuan meant.
Of course Zou Chaochun understood what their family represented, but he couldn't afford to wear this hat.
"Dr. Xu, I am not..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Chuan hung up the phone. When he called again, his phone was turned off.
"You really don't leave any room for words."
Wu Wei raised her head from his arms, reached out and touched Xu Chuan's forehead.
Xu Chuan threw the phone away, lowered his head and kissed the other person on the forehead with a smile.
"I'm showing my attitude so that they won't take it seriously in the future."
And Zou Chaochun probably didn't have time to have any objections to him.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, when Jing Zhong Yue Fei's box office dropped further and the producer was still thinking of various solutions, Movie Orange suddenly sent a document.
The film has been suspended due to technical issues, and each theater chain will be responsible for the consequences if it is screened privately.
To be honest, for so many years, the films that China Film Group has been the distributor of have never been released midway.
Of course the investors were looking for Zou Chaochun like crazy, but the staff of Huaxia Film told them that the chairman went to Zhongxuan for a meeting.
The meeting was held on the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year. The content of the meeting was a symposium on resolutely opposing historical nihilism and firm historical materialism.
Well, this time they don't need to worry about why it was discontinued.
As the saying goes, if someone cries, someone will laugh. The other movies were almost hilarious.
Li Sen's big production was immediately killed within three days of its release. Of course, the vacated market share will be divided up by them.
These distributors and producers are working hard to find theaters to increase their share of film schedules.
Especially in the life-and-death fight, the publisher showed off the relationship between Xue La and Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan also felt a headache when he received the news. He knew that the film was also terrible.
The current film schedule is 12%, which is a bit too high to begin with. If you don’t consider Sheila’s relationship, it should be cut off by another third.
But now that Jingzhong Yue Fei has stopped showing, it does free up a lot of space.
"Let them increase it to 15 and we'll see what happens."
It would be impossible to make more money. During the Chinese New Year, every point is really money.
Zhou Hao agreed, and then said with a smile, "Li Sen came to see me, and he said he agreed to change the names of the male and female protagonists in the movie "Lust."
Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him stay where he can to cool down."
"Oh, that's true."
"Hey, to be honest, what would you do if he agreed to this condition the day before yesterday?"
Zhou Hao felt that this day was really interesting. It had not been long since Xu Chuan came back, and he had caused so many troubles.
Xu Chuan didn't care, "Just think of it as my fart, he can bite me."
"ha…"
Zhou Hao laughed and then continued, "I'm telling you, I need to rest for a few days. This Chinese New Year has to go to relatives' houses, and Zhao Wen's house."
"I'll give you a break. There's nothing else to do except for the cinema. I agree to your request."
"Get out of here."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan glanced at Wu Wei, who was also answering the phone.
She has had more phone calls than Xu Chuan in the past two days, and they are all from the female family members who left their phone numbers on the day of the premiere.
The purpose of these people is very clear. In fact, it is to ask Jingzhong Yue Fei if he still has a way to survive.
This is a big production with an investment of nearly 300 million. If it were to be released like this, many people would lose their money.
Especially the unlucky Dingsheng, who spent a large sum of money to buy the investment share from UC Media.
When the stock market opens after the holidays, Dingsheng's stock price will definitely fluctuate violently.
There was no other way, Zhou Zheng, who was on vacation, flew back from abroad.
"Mr. Zhou, this matter really has nothing to do with me. The most I can do is let others know about Marshal Yue's life."
Xu Chuan's tone was very innocent, but in fact it was quite innocent. He was completely unaware of Zong Ju's actions.
There was a hint of fatigue in Zhou Zheng's voice, probably because he had not yet recovered from jet lag after returning from abroad. Of course, it could also be because of the loss of more than 100 million in investment.
"Xiaochuan, tell me the truth. Did you invest in the film because of money or because you didn't like the film?"
Xu Chuan almost laughed, but he held it back.
"There are probably two reasons. First of all, costume movies are not popular nowadays, and they involve national heroes. If there are too many adaptations, ordinary people will not buy it."
Xu Chuan's answer was very serious, and it could be regarded as giving the other party a clear answer.
As for whether Zhou Zheng thought that he had defrauded him of his money, that was nonsense.
After so many years in the film and television industry, Zhou Zheng's vision is not as good as that of a young man in his early twenties. Is Zhou Zheng embarrassed to say this?
Zhou Zheng's nose was almost crooked with anger. This reason was different from when he was deceived.
However, in terms of business, his decision to purchase UC's share was only decided after a meeting. There is no reason to blame others for this matter.
He also had people investigate. Although Xu Chuan had some unpleasantness with Zou Chaochun and Li Sen after the premiere, Zong Ju's document was really not sent because of Xu Chuan.
It can be said that Li Sen's film hit the mark.
The losses were huge, but Dingsheng was still able to withstand it. After going public, their gameplay changed.
As for the other families, no matter how much they cry, they are actually not injured at all.
After dealing with Zhou Zheng, Xu Chuan turned his attention to his email.
Umbrella and Alex both sent him emails, and the things they said were all about the situation of Zure Ke Lan.
But what Alex said was that people from the CIA were involved in the Kifu incident, and Da Mao had already sent people to smear Keran.
What Umbrella was talking about was that John Price and his Task Force 141, together with Delta, conducted a reconnaissance of the Carpathian Mountains in the Territory.
It looks like they're going to do something here.
Xu Chuan thought for a while, this couldn't be the old guy's misfortune.
