Chapter 739
Qiao Mingxuan arrived at Shengkong's premiere alone.
Minister of Film and Television Chen Future and the protagonist of this scene, director of "Style Master" Wang Sheng, stood at the door to greet the stars and guests attending the premiere.
Seeing Qiao Mingxuan from a distance, Chen Weilai walked over with a smile on his face.
"Is Wanting here?" He looked behind Qiao Mingxuan and asked.
Qiao Mingxuan had no choice but to recount what had just happened in the nanny's car.
When Chen Future heard that Guoguo Culture Media also had a new movie to be released, and that the director's name was Zhang Xingmai, his face suddenly darkened.
"Do you know Zhang Xingmai?" Qiao Mingxuan noticed the change in Chen Future's expression.
He is the director of the Performing Arts Department, and he only knows the artists and employees of the Film and Television Department under his control. Unless he has worked with them before, he doesn't know them either.
The name Zhang Xingmai sounds very unfamiliar at first sight. He is probably not a big director, but a new director who signed with Guoguo Culture Media.
Qiu Wanting wanted to help support the scene entirely because of Ou Xiaojuan and Qian Yu's reputation.
Qiao Mingxuan has always understood it this way.
But seeing Chen's reaction in the future, it seems there is another story.
Wang Sheng, who was standing aside, snorted disdainfully, "What kind of waves can Zhang Xingmai make? He was stepped on by me when he was in Shengkong. Now that he has gone to a small company, it is even more impossible for him to be able to compete with me. He is just Wan."
It’s a pity that Sister Ting didn’t come.”
Chen Weilai had a look of hatred on his face. Since Qiao Mingxuan was here, he couldn't get angry with his nephew.
It is true that Zhang Xingmai was stepped on by Wang Sheng when she was in the sky. Why was that?
That's because Wang Sheng has an uncle who is the director of the film and television department, but Zhang Xingmai does not.
But Wang Sheng didn't realize this from beginning to end.
Wang Sheng has not read Zhang Xingmai's script, but Chen Weilai has.
That script was a treasure that Zhang Xingmai held in his hands. He showed it to Chen Future when he first joined Shengkong.
But there was no chance to shoot it at that time.
Later, Zhang Xingmai polished it many times. After each draft was completed, he would show it to Chen Weiwei. He also gave suggestions as the director of the Film and Television Department.
Originally, Chen Future was planning to launch Zhang Xingmai's project.
But Wang Sheng's own script also came to fruition.
Between outsiders and his own people, Chen Future chose his nephew without hesitation.
It can be regarded as indirectly forcing Zhang Xingmai away.
But he didn't expect Zhang Xingmai to go to Guoguo Culture Media.
Not surprisingly, what Zhang Xingmai released this time was the script that he had been polishing repeatedly in his hands.
The quality of the script is not a bad script that can be stepped on and rubbed at will.
But Chen Weilai is not afraid, even though Wang Sheng’s own book is not very good.
But from the moment Li Linsen made the decision to start shooting the project, he hired a team of professional screenwriters to help revise it based on Wang Sheng's script.
Rather than saying it was a modification, it is better to say that it just left the names of a few important actors and the framework of the story, and changed everything else.
The notebook that was formed later should be comparable to the notebook that Zhang Xingmai held in his hand when he left.
But Shengkong has a better team, actors, and money.
Chen Future doesn't treat Wang Sheng's movies like he treats the movies of those small directors in the film and television department. He can save everything.
In Wang Sheng's movies, from costumes and props to photography and post-production teams, Shengkong is the best.
He feels that even though Guoguo Culture Media has recently produced two pretty good movies, it is still a small company with limited manpower.
Chen Future did a little calculation and found that Zhou Zibo's "The King of Comedy" and Zhang Xingmai's "The Stars Are Expected" overlap in time.
Although "The King of Comedy" was released earlier, whenever there was overlap in filming, the best team must have been assigned to Zhou Zibo's film.
Guoguo Culture Media's ambition at that time was to promote Zhou Zibo as a first-line actor, and of course they did it.
Thinking of this, Chen Weiwei's heart suddenly dropped.
It is impossible for Zhang Xingmai to get the best resources from Guoguo Culture Media.
The quality of the movie will never compare to Wang Sheng's "Master of Style".
Facing Qiao Mingxuan's questioning gaze, Chen Future quickly waved his hands with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. I just think it's a pity that Wanting doesn't come, but Xiaojuan's face is hard not to give. This is all a personal relationship."
Qiao Mingxuan didn't think much about it. He simply expressed his apology to Qiu Wanting and went to find Li Linsen.
Because Wang Sheng’s movie was decided by Li Linsen himself.
Wang Sheng is Chen Weiwei's nephew. Li Linsen wanted to give Chen Weiwei face, so he came to the premiere in person.
Generally, Li Linsen will not be present in person when directing a movie.
Although Chen Future has a low presence among many senior executives, it is his obedience and low-keyness that makes Li Linsen happy.
In his heart, he really likes Chen Future, who is cautious and meticulous in everything he does.
Therefore, when Shengkong Films had not made much splash, they personally approved Wang Sheng's project.
"Is Wanting here?" Li Linsen said casually after seeing Qiao Mingxuan.
Qiao Mingxuan shook his head and reported what happened in the car to Li Linsen again.
"Let her go with their private feelings." Li Linsen didn't take it seriously.
Seeing that Li Linsen's attitude was so peaceful, Qiao Mingxuan did not tell him that he learned from Chen Weiwei that Zhang Xingmai had left Shengkong to get Guoguo Culture Media.
In addition to inviting celebrities to attend the premiere, there will also be well-known film critics and media.
The purpose of inviting media and film critics is that after watching the movie, they will publish articles online to promote the movie.
Of course, the promotion must be realistic, tell the story wonderfully without spoiling the story in large areas, and attract the audience to buy tickets.
However, ticket sales usually begin at the same time as the premiere.
It's just that this wave of audiences relied on the early publicity and the fame of the director and actors to buy tickets.
The two films premiered in different theaters at almost the same time.
Wang Sheng's movie tells the story of a stylist who likes to cheat and cheat to make money. He specializes in making money by changing the looks of lovelorn people. He claims that as long as he changes the look, he can get love. During this period, he met an ugly person.
Lovelorn girl.
The protagonist helped him change his appearance but still failed to win over his ex-boyfriend.
But because the money has already been collected and the protagonist has spent the money and cannot refund the money, he can only bite the bullet and continue to help the ugly girl look for love.
In this process, the two sparked a spark of love and discovered the true meaning of life. Appearance is not important, but a beautiful heart is the most important.
Zhang Tingting adjusted her glasses after watching the movie.
The boy next to him turned around and asked, "Writer Zhang, how would you rate this movie?"
"Sixty, no more." Zhang Tingting curled her lips and said.
Zhang Tingting is a freelance media person, and the boy sitting next to her is her younger brother, Zhang Chengcheng.
One of them is responsible for writing, and the other is responsible for producing pictures. The two of them have published many film reviews together and are somewhat famous in the small circle of film critics. This time they were also invited to attend the premiere of Shengkong's new movie.
"I also think it's too cliched and too sensational, but it's still a qualified movie," Zhang Chengcheng said matter-of-factly.
"But when we take other people's money, we must try our best to beautify it. Let's see how I turn a 60-point movie into a 70-point movie." Zhang Tingting has already thrown off her arms and is about to get started.
Zhang Chengcheng is a college student majoring in photography at Yanjing Film Academy. He usually makes some extra money by producing pictures with his sister. Film reviews mainly focus on the content and there are not many places where photos are used. He just follows along.
Zhang Chengcheng said coyly, "My senior recommended a movie to me, saying it was produced by their company and it premiered today. I want to buy a ticket to watch the afternoon screening."
Zhang Tingting glanced at her younger brother, "Which senior? Fan Yan from the directing department?"
Zhang Chengcheng didn't dare to hide it and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Okay, buy two, and I'll watch it with you later. If it's good, we'll also send her a movie review on the trumpet, but we can't spend too much energy. It must be based on Sheng Kong's movie.
Lord." Zhang Tingting knows that her younger brother also needs connections at school. Fan Yan has done well among young directors, so she must give her younger brother some face."
Zhang Chengcheng happily held his sister's arm and said, "My sister is the number one film critic."
