A top-tier star-rated hotel.
Top-floor private box.
The view of New York City is unobstructed.
A group of people sat in a private room.
Noda, Watanabe, and Chang Chen.
The most unexpected thing was that after meeting with these two guys, Zhang Zhen asked, "Why didn't you answer my calls earlier?"
Watanabe gritted his teeth: "Don't even mention it, that day was absolutely unlucky. Not only was I disgusted by that slut Li, but I also got a heartless taxi driver. We were supposed to go back to the shopping street, but they took us to the hospital instead. My phone was dead at the time..."
Watanabe no longer wanted to recall what happened that day. He randomly asked a passerby for money to take a taxi back to the shopping street, promising to repay the fare a hundredfold, but was treated like a lunatic.
It's all that bastard Li's fault!
"Alright, let's get down to business!!" Noda shouted, "That bastard Li swindled the largest film music order in the world. I've been scolded by my boss a lot for this. I don't want him to live such a comfortable life."
When talking about that scoundrel Li, Watanabe was also indignant: "It was about the 10 million... After the Rizhao board of directors heard about it, they scolded me severely. But since the association also received 3 million, they didn't punish me and let me make amends."
Zhang Zhen laughed and said, "I called you all over here to talk about this. Li Zhaoyang wants to make a movie, right? We'll do as he wishes."
Watanabe guessed Zhang Zhen's plan: "Spend money to suppress Li Zhaoyang's film screening data?"
Zhang Zhen nodded: "Our Raven Group will be responsible for throwing money at major cinema chains. There is only one goal: Li Zhaoyang's new movie must have a screening share of less than 5%. If he makes a bad movie, even better. We can reduce the screening share to 2% or even 1%. Then I will make him suffer a lot."
Watanabe: "Not enough! Not enough! Still not enough!"
A dismal box office performance alone would not be enough to quell his anger.
Zhang Zhen's lips curled up like a crooked dragon king: "You guys in Rizhao are in charge of the media side. When the time comes, hire a well-known film blogger to smear Li Zhaoyang's movie. For example, have this blogger dig deep into the flaws in Li Zhaoyang's movie and exaggerate these flaws to the public. When headlines like 'Top-notch' musician Li Zhaoyang turns to making movies and produces such a bad film' appear online, it will cause quite a stir in the public opinion."
Watanabe: "Yosh, that's a pretty good open scheme. Even if we openly smear Li Zhaoyang, no one will say anything, because it's a fact that the movies he makes are bad. Even if they aren't bad, we'll still find all sorts of flaws."
Zhang Zhen had explained his plan to this point, and Noda understood: "I will take over Wanxia's public relations department. I will use my connections to prevent Wanxia's public relations department from getting involved."
As long as the public relations department can intercept the sunset before the public opinion takes hold, there won't be any problems.
Once public opinion has taken hold, it will be too late for the public relations department to intervene.
When the time comes, we'll definitely label Li Zhaoyang as someone who makes bad movies, and then send him back to the music industry.
As long as he gets back to the music industry, those of them who have been in the music industry for years have plenty of ways to deal with that slut Li.
"Then let's all go back and make our plans. Once that slut Li's movie is finished and released, that's when we'll take action." Zhang Zhen stood up, about to leave.
Watanabe called out, "Zhang Jun, has your movie 'The Raven' been started yet?"
Chang Chen: "No need to remind me, the release date of our movie will be set alongside that scoundrel Li, making it stand out from the crowd and creating a stark contrast."
The more glamorous Li Zhaoyang is in front of Chairman Ka, the worse his box office performance becomes, and Zhang Zhen has to go all out to get close to him.
Noda: "Can you reveal whether the new movie 'The Raven' is about popular or artistic themes?"
Chang Chen: "This time we're aiming for the Golden Horse Awards at the end of the year, and we'll definitely be making an art film."
Many award-winning films are art films.
Because art films have excellent storylines, their awards carry even more weight.
It's not that films with popular themes can't win awards.
There are only a few popular genres. If you make a film that meets the public's expectations for exciting plot points, you will definitely suffer from a lack of depth in the story.
Either make films with exciting plots that appeal to the general public, or make art films that require a certain level of understanding to watch.
Therefore, art films are more likely to win awards.
If you make a good film on a popular subject, you can win awards, but it's extremely difficult.
The three chatted for a while longer before leaving the private room without even finishing their food, which was incredibly wasteful.
...
Starlight Films.
"Li Gui, the actors for the new movie are basically all cast. When do we start filming?"
Li Gui had been busy for quite a while, and finally managed to invite all the main actors.
The only problem is that the cast of main actors isn't ideal.
The award-winning actor Li Zhangjie, whom we invited before, was poached by Han Ya.
Faced with the vice president's question, Li Gui thought it over and said, "The director said he needs an assistant, so I have to call Yang Kai back. If all goes well, we'll start filming tomorrow."
"Okay." The vice president left the office after receiving the answer.
Li Gui opened her contacts, found Xiao Yang's name in the caller ID, and dialed the number.
What shocked Li Gui all day was that Yang Kai actually hung up.
Li Gui: ?
Did you not see your phone number clearly?
Li Gui dialed the number again.
And then it failed again.
Li Gui laughed in exasperation: "What has this kid been doing these past few days? He went and became the assistant director of Teacher Li Zhaoyang's new movie. Has he gotten too big for his britches?"
The other party finally answered on the third try.
Before Li Gui could speak, Yang Kai said, "Brother Li, I'm busy here. I'll call you back later."
"Beep beep beep~"
Li Gui: (?_??)
