Chapter 383 Big Melon
Sometimes, the news and gossip within the industry really make people feel that the entertainment industry is very chaotic.

The remake of "Journey to the West" has revealed so many big scandals, and Zhang Da Huzi, who is good at hype, did not miss any opportunity.

But the news this time is really big. According to paparazzi reports, an actor took the initiative to reveal that he was sexually exploited, and even the text messages that the assistant director had introduced were sent out.

Later, former crew members expressed their support, saying that several actresses who played the spider spirits were almost all trapped.

"I saw the producer coming out of the actresses' room at four or five in the morning several times."

"In addition, some actors take the initiative to sleep with the actors for the sake of their roles..."

Well, no wonder netizens’ opinions about the entertainment industry have become increasingly negative in recent years. There are reasons for the current situation.

Of course, the media would not miss this opportunity and rushed to interview one after another.

At this moment, the bearded man no longer has the passion he had when he was first hyped. Being well versed in ninjutsu, he has started to disappear again. No matter how the outside world discusses it, I will not show up and let things pass.

As a result, the matter became more and more serious and even involved Su Chang. Before filming "The Blade of the Assassin", she made a cameo appearance in "Journey to the West".

There are only so many resources in the circle. If something happens to a top-tier star, whether it is true or not, other female stars will naturally not miss this opportunity.

For a time, Su Chang was deeply involved in it. A large number of navy troops came out indiscriminately to attack him first.

"The last time you and Changchang exchanged messages, it wasn't because of this, was it?"

"Well, I thought it was a small matter, but I didn't expect it to become such a big deal." Liu Yifei leaned on Gu Wei's shoulder and said guiltily when she heard this.

"You guys are oversimplifying things. For female stars, reputation is very important. Even if nothing happens in normal times, people will secretly do something ruthless to them, not to mention being involved in it." Gu Wei looked at the young lady with some amusement.

"Then what should we do?" The other party also had an innocent look on his face, which was very cute.

In the original time and space, these two were just best friends, and their nature was that they were easily criticized. Compared with other big stars, their abilities in publicity, hype, and public relations were a mess.

"give it to me."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled and immediately took out her cell phone to send a message to Su Chang.

Sure enough, not long after, Su Chang came back, "Chang Chang asked me to thank you. When she finishes filming, I will treat you to a meal."

Hearing this, Gu Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes. Good fellow, who is he trying to fool?

...

The huge success of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" in China naturally made Bona's Yu Dong turn his attention to overseas.

As for "Painted Skin", Deng Chao, the lead actor, also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. After all, he was invited to shoot this movie with additional conditions.

The drama "Breakup Master" written by the famous screenwriter Yu Baimei 10 years ago was noticed by Deng Chao.

Deng Chao and Yu Baimei first became friends because of their collaboration in the drama "Cuihua Serve Suancai". Over the years, one of them has become a top male star in the circle, and the other has become a senior screenwriter. It can be said that both of them have developed well.

This time, the project is the drama "Breakup Master", and Deng Chao plans to adapt it into a movie version.

As for the director of this movie, it is naturally Deng Chao himself. As a good actor, he can become a director. This phenomenon has gradually become popular in the circle.

Whether or not the film can get investment funds from Guangxian naturally becomes the key to whether it can be launched. Now that the box office has reached the expected requirements, Deng Chao can naturally talk to Wang Changtian about investment.

As for the casting, Deng Chao already had an idea in mind.

For the role of the female lead Ye Xiaochun, he originally planned to invite Yang Mi, who is very popular recently, but what happened in the circle recently made him turn his attention to Su Chang.

After the "Journey to the West" incident, all the negative topics about Su Chang on the Internet came to an abrupt end.

Not only was the post on Weibo deleted, even the bearded man came out for an interview to clarify things for Su Chang.

Netizens don’t know the inside story, but as someone in the circle, he naturally has some inside information.

It is said that it was Gu Wei who took action and directly resolved the matter. Not only that, some female stars in the industry were also warned, which frightened them so much that they hurried to prove their innocence.

At this moment, Deng Chao suddenly realized that in the circle, the power of capital is unstoppable. Even if he becomes a top star artist, he cannot escape the control of capital.

The reason why Deng Chao planned to invite Su Chang was not only because of his status, but he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get in touch with Liu Yifei. Of course, it would be even better if he could get in touch with Gu Wei.

As long as Su Chang accepts the invitation, he can find an opportunity to let Liu Yifei and Gu Wei visit the set during the filming of the movie. Even though they know it is a gimmick, there will be countless media and movie fans paying attention!

……

After the intense National Day holiday, domestic film box office just broke the 100 billion mark by National Day.

This is a very sensitive number, which shows the popularity of the mainland film market.

Against the backdrop of a sharp increase in the number of screens and rising box office, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival box office increased by tens of millions of yuan compared with the same period last year. The National Day box office almost doubled, with the number of screens reaching 1.3 times that of the same period last year.

To this end, the General Administration also gave everyone a shot of prevention: "Many domestic film producers and distributors have put more and more energy outside the screen, and the unfair competition of "slandering" and "smearing" each other has turned off the audience. Not putting "efforts" on the quality of the film itself, but relying on "deception" to get the audience to go to the theater, this phenomenon should be avoided."

Having said that, the General Administration is still quite satisfied with this year's results. The 120 billion target set at the beginning of the year seems to be no problem at all, and there is even hope of hitting a box office of 150 billion.

During the entire National Day holiday, Bona's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" became the biggest winner. After one week of release, the cumulative box office reached 2.6 million yuan.

Domestic success does not mean international success. The box office of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" in the North American market was only 17 US dollars, which was a heavy blow to Yu Dong.

To be honest, this box office did set a record for blockbusters, but in the reverse direction.

Yu Dong was also stubborn. Bona's latest press release said that "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" has been a global success and has won more recognition and attention for Chinese martial arts films in the international market.

Yang Zi, who is extremely powerful, directly asked Huang Shengyi to participate in a domestic interview program for the sake of box office.

In the talk show, Huang Shengyi cleared himself and cried out the real reason why he left Star Shine.

To sum up, I did nothing wrong. I just wanted better development. As for being a mistress, that is nonsense.

After all, film and television companies compete for resources and financial resources. Why do several Star Girls leave? It all comes down to lack of resources! Stephen Chow only releases one film every few years, and he doesn't cooperate much with other companies. If he stays in Star Shine, he will most likely end up like the worst Star Girl Li Hui.
This wave of whitewashing has aroused the sympathy of netizens, and the average daily box office of "Legend of White Snake" has rebounded.

As a result, just two days later, it was revealed that the special effects costs were falsified. The original special effects production costs of over 100 million were actually just over 20 million.

Now, Yang Zi was completely dumbfounded. He didn't need to guess, he knew who was behind it.

Because the reputation of "Painted Skin" was very bad before, and Yang Zi also hired people to create various negative reviews.

The two of them have never stopped using any means, anyway, the main strategy is to go back and forth.
In fact, similar situations are not uncommon. It has been like this every time a movie is released. Where there are people praising it, there are bound to be people criticizing it.

Even Gu Wei’s movies get bad reviews, let alone those of others.

It’s just that if it’s a good movie, the audience will watch it a lot and they will eventually speak out for the movie, and the proportion of negative reviews will be very small.

However, when this news came out, the audience felt cheated. Where is the hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs? They are making fun of us, right?

"I was saying it, this special effect doesn't look like it cost hundreds of millions of RMB, it turns out it only cost over 2000 million RMB."

"Good fellow, you are bullying us because we don't know anything, so you can brag as much as you want, right?"

"Rubbish movie, RNM lost money."

The most direct manifestation of the netizens’ heated criticism was that the popularity of “Legend of White Snake” plummeted instantly and the box office plummeted.

On the other hand, "Painted Skin" took advantage of the audience lost by "White Snake" and its box office began to climb quietly.

For Yang Zi, the entire National Day holiday was like riding a roller coaster, sometimes soaring to the sky and sometimes falling to the bottom.

Because the box office has already dropped to around 10 million at the moment, if it drops any further, it will have to be withdrawn from theaters early.

To use an old saying, at this moment Yang Zi was like an ant on a hot pan, running around in a panic.

...

Li Binbin updated a latest photo on Weibo, which was a photo of three people together with Wendi Deng and Paul Anderson, the director of "Resident Evil 5".

Although there is only one group photo, the effect is self-evident.

Starting at noon that day, a large number of press releases about Li Binbin and "Resident Evil 5" were released.

"Li Binbin recently set off for the crew of Resident Evil 5."

"After Yu Nan, another mainland actress is about to head to Hollywood to participate in the filming of a movie."

Li Binbin, who was originally affected by the box office of "The Revolution of 1911", is now fully recovered.

Her status in the circle has even risen, and she seems to be surpassing Zhang Ziyi.

As for the international star Zhang Ziyi, she has always been proud and arrogant, so naturally she was not willing to be outdone. She posted a sarcastic message saying that going to Hollywood was no big deal, it was all her own faults, and she could talk about it later with a smile on her face.

Unfortunately, the situation is stronger than people now, and no matter how hard Zhang Ziyi talks, he cannot change the facts.

Looking at Li Binbin who posted three Weibo posts a day, Zhang Ziyi was gritting her teeth in hatred.

"No, if this continues, a bunch of slaves will climb over my head."

Zhang Ziyi's eyes involuntarily turned to a new movie co-produced by China and South Korea, "I must get the role this time, no matter what the cost." After this thought popped into his mind, Zhang Ziyi wanted to get the role in this movie even more urgently.

As for how to take it down, every snake has its own way and every rat has its own way.
