Chapter 553: Zhao Liying Is a Big Shot? Another Backstabbing? Just Do It! Whoever Is Timid Is a Coward!

In terms of marketing, Guo Fan is also very good at it.

Since the casting of "The Martian" started, he would reveal the casting situation of a certain role from time to time.

When the name "Zhao Liying" appeared as the second female lead, there was an uproar in the circle!

Especially the actors who had worked with her before at Huayi, now their eyes are red with envy!

"Your Name", "Ghost Blowing Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue", and now "The Martian"...

Although they all played the second and third female roles, everyone can see clearly that it will not be long before the first female role will come to them.

There have been a lot of rumors about Huayi's agency recently.

After all, when Zhao Liying left, Li Yu and Wang Zhonglei made a harsh statement, saying that after she left Huayi, she would never be popular in her life.

But what about now?

Not only has she become popular, but she is also very popular. It is estimated that she will play the first female role in a movie in a short time!

When the news was placed on the desks of Li Yu and Wang Zhonglei, both of them looked unhappy.

They really like to slap others in the face, but they don't like to be slapped in the face by others.

This feeling is not pleasant.

Because the higher Zhao Liying climbs, the more voices will laugh at them in the company, which is inevitable.

"We can't just watch her climb higher and higher."

Li Yu's voice was cold, and she felt more and more alienated when she heard the name "Zhao Liying".

Wang Zhonglei looked up at her: "Do you have any information about her?"

Li Yu naturally understood what he meant, because the word information was equivalent to black material at this time!

"Yes!" She nodded slowly, but then added: "However, what I know can only cause her some trouble at most, and it is impossible to hurt her."

"Let's release all the news. If it can cause trouble to her, it is equivalent to causing trouble to "Your Name". As long as it can affect the box office of that movie, it will be beneficial to us."

The release time of "Tai Chi 1: From Zero" is only one week apart from "Your Name".

The two companies are the most direct competitors!

Dragging down the opponent is equivalent to winning, so Wang Zhonglei will not be soft-hearted.

If it were in the past, he might still be concerned about Chen Fei's identity as a shareholder of Huayi, but now, the two sides have no relationship.

Whether to be friends or opponents is entirely up to him!

What's more, he has been very unhappy with Chen Fei for a long time, so if he can make things difficult for him now, why not?

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Li Yu responded, turned around and left the office quickly.

...

At this time, in the large conference room of Tangren Company.

"Three movies, two second female roles, one third female role, and the partners are still Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Liu Ye and others, and two of the movies are big productions with an investment of more than 600 million.

Hey? These resources are really rich. Are they going to push out a first-line actress again?"

Hu Ge looked at the entertainment newspaper in his hand and was amazed, not noticing that Cai Yinong's face had become a little ugly.

Of course, even if he noticed, he wouldn't care.

As the undisputed number one in Tangren, he has the confidence to say this.

And more importantly, his contract with Tangren will expire in more than half a year, and he is now thinking about whether to stay.

Since the release of "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky", he has been somewhat dissatisfied with Cai Yinong.

Tangren's number one actor actually went to play a supporting role for other actors, and he played a villain to set off the other party.

This is a bit disgusting!

Cai Yinong only had a favor for him, not a life-saving grace.

And after so many years, he has almost repaid her.

He wants to go out and open a studio by himself, even if he will make a lot less money, but it is much better than being controlled by others all day, playing a supporting role for newcomers, and acting in some bad movies.

Although Liu Shishi, who was sitting opposite him, did not change her expression, she also had her own thoughts in her heart.

A long time ago, people like Yang Mi and Zhao Liying were completely incomparable with her.

But what about now?

Yang Mi has starred in several movies in succession, while Zhao Liying is a newcomer and has much better resources than her.

It can be seen that choice is much more important than hard work!

If she continues to stay with Tangren, she can't see the future clearly...

Just thinking about it, Cai Yinong, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said: "There is no need to envy. I have signed cooperation agreements with many production companies in Hong Kong. There are many roles waiting for you to play next.

The theme of our meeting today is "The Legend of the Desert". As you know, due to some special reasons, the plot needs to be greatly changed and deleted.

Shishi, you sit down first, Hu Ge, you take the others to temporarily avoid it. I have something to talk to Shishi about."

Hu Ge's eyes flashed with doubts, and he wanted to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.

When the rest of the people saw that Yi Ge left first, they also chose to get up and follow.

The door of the conference room was closed.

After a while, everyone vaguely heard a quarrel from inside.

There was even a hint of crying in Liu Shishi's voice...

~

After attending "Happy Camp" at Mango TV, Chen Fei, Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying rushed back to the capital and went straight to the celebration banquet of "The Four".

Wang Changtian said in front of the media: "The success of this movie is at least half due to Chen Fei!"

So, anyone can be missing from the celebration banquet, but he can't be missing.

For this reason, Chen Fei had to choose to cross two provinces overnight...

The media has been claiming that the competition for Chinese-language films in August is very fierce, and this is indeed the case.

In addition to the luxurious cast of the participating films, according to the current situation, the quality and performance of these released films are very good.

"Anti-Corruption Storm 2", which was released at the beginning of the month, had a box office of 18.67 million on the first day and 135 million in the first week.

And "The Listener", which was released on the 7th, had a box office of 17.85 million on the first day and 115 million in the first week.

The success of these two films has put a lot of pressure on the latecomers.

Especially for "Tai Chi 1: From Zero" which will be released in two days, the pressure is huge now!

This also led to the main creative team headed by Yang Ying to promote more frequently, and they have appeared on various variety shows many times to contribute to the expansion of the popularity of the movie.

Perhaps because of being too domineering and snatching the promotional resources of "Double Exposure", Fan Bingbing was out again.

"In my opinion, the early promotion of "Tai Chi 1" was not very good, because I have hardly heard of the name of this movie.

In addition to publicity, the acting skills of the actors are also the key to a big box office. However, the acting skills of some people can only be said to be a matter of opinion..."

As soon as these remarks came out, as expected, "Tai Chi 1" suffered even greater criticism.

After all, Yang Ying, in addition to her good looks, also has many things that people criticize.

Especially in the scene of "The Founding of a Party", it is unknown which "good-hearted person" directly released the footage of Liu Dehua dripping eye drops to Yang Ying, and the accompanying text was extremely wonderful:

"Is there any actor in the circle who can't act crying?"

As the public opinion on the Internet exploded, the question of whether Yang Ying has acting skills inevitably emerged.

"Isn't it enough to look good? What's the point of acting?"

"My goodness, isn't it for the wonderful performances of the actors? If you don't even have acting skills, what kind of actor are you?"

"I wonder, what's there to argue about? Wait until the movie is released and you'll know after you take a look?"

Public opinion has been hyped up, and for a while, Yang Ying, a newcomer who has entered the film and television industry not long ago, suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

Even with Huang Xiaoming behind her, she was once at a disadvantage in the fight with Fan Bingbing.

Even Huang Xiaoming himself was in a headache. There was nothing he could do. After all, Fan Bingbing was not an ordinary first-line female star. She was a tough guy who could fight with Zhang Ziyi!

…

"Actress Zhao Liying acted like a big shot. She made a scene in the crew right after her debut and was fired by the crew."

"Breaking news: Yahoo Star Search has many inside stories. A debut actress had met with the director privately many times and went in and out of the hotel together, showing intimacy..."

"According to an unknown staff member, Zhao Liying had joined forces with many people to oppress the actors in the crew when she starred in the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions". Her artistic ethics were extremely poor."

On the way to the celebration banquet, Chen Fei was browsing Weibo and suddenly found a lot of negative information about Zhao Liying.

Acting like a big shot, meeting with the director privately, having a bad temper, lacking artistic ethics...

Looking at the descriptions in these articles, Chen Fei recalled the details of his cooperation with Zhao Liying and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Xiaoying, have you... offended someone?"

"Ah?!"

Inside the RV, Zhao Liying, who was browsing Taobao with Liu Yifei, subconsciously cast a curious look.

"Come and take a look." Chen Fei waved at her and tilted the computer screen to her side.

The two girls came over with curious faces.

The more they looked down, the more angry Zhao Liying's face became!

"What's the big fuss on the crew? It was obviously the director who wanted to use hidden rules, and I didn't agree, so I quit the crew.

All the people from Yahoo Star Search were in the same hotel. It's not just me and the director who went in and out together?

And the director in charge of my group at the time was Ning Hao, who was already married. How could I go in and out with him? And show intimacy? What a joke?

As for the new "Dream of Red Mansions", it was Yang Yang who bullied other girls in the crew first. I couldn't stand it, so I went to him to argue. How can his artistic ethics be poor?"

As Zhao Liying said this, tears began to well up in her eyes.

These are all slanders!

It's obvious that someone is deliberately making trouble!

When Liu Yifei saw these suddenly popped up black materials about Zhao Liying, she suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

Pictures, misinterpretation of events, rumors...

Aren't these all things she has experienced personally?

A few years ago, some people even said she was a transgender, and some even said she was stalking an international pianist because she was attracted by his money...

"These media are so annoying. They just want to smear her for the sake of smearing her. They don't care whether the matter is true or not, and they just jump to conclusions!"

Liu Yifei was very angry. At this moment, she seemed to feel the same way and experienced the rumors that had happened to her.

"Someone wants to make trouble?"

Chen Fei smiled coldly and felt it was interesting.

Some people really don't know how high the sky is!

Picking up the phone from the side, he directly called the company's public relations and legal departments.

Soon, a series of arrangements came out of his mouth one by one, which made Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying, who were very angry, stunned!

More than ten minutes later, he hung up the phone, turned to look at Zhao Liying, and comforted her: "Don't worry, we are upright and have nothing to fear.

Want to use the same method against Yin Xiaotian on us? Ha, this is forgetting the pain after the scar healed!"

Chen Fei didn't even go to ask specifically, and directly set his target on Huayi.

There are only a few companies in the circle who dare to challenge Feiyue Film and Television Company, and there are even fewer people who have conflicts with Zhao Liying and are willing to invest resources to deal with her.

There is no one else except Huayi.

Dare to stretch out your claws?

Then chop them off directly!

…

After arriving at the celebration banquet of "The Four", even though there were no media outside, Chen Fei was still treated like a "superstar".

The moment he stepped into the venue, a group of people surrounded him.

"The Martian" has already started casting. There are so many high-quality resources. Who wouldn't be greedy?

Although Chen Fei had said at the beginning of the preparation that the early preparation and casting of this film would be handed over to Guo Fan.

But this does not mean that he has no say in the crew.

The boss speaks, can the subordinates refuse?

Chen Fei spent a lot of effort to get out of the crowd.

After looking around, he suddenly found a very interesting situation.

Many guests at the scene would take photos with the main creative members of "The Four". Although Deng Chao and Yang Mi did not refuse, their positions were very interesting.

As the second female lead, Jiang Yiyan stood at the edge of the group photo and didn't dare to get close to Deng Chao.

When he looked carefully, he found that the queen had also come to the scene today.

Although she didn't move around frequently, she sat at a table near the stage, which gave people a feeling of "supervision".

Since playing the role of "Zhen Huan", Sun Li's aura has become stronger.

Compared with her, Jiang Yiyan was simply abused!

"Mr. Chen, welcome to the scene, it's a great honor to be here, hahaha..."

Before Wang Changtian came over, the laughter had already arrived.

Chen Fei stretched out his hand and shook his hand gently: "Congratulations, the box office is a big hit! I hope that the movies invested by Guangguang will be successful in the future."

"Haha, I wish you good luck!"

After the two greeted each other, Wang Changtian ran to receive other guests.

Chen Fei asked the waiter for a glass of red wine, and from time to time he toasted with the actors who came over, showing a very friendly attitude.

Many young actors even mustered up the courage to come over and respectfully handed over their business cards.

Chen Fei did not refuse this, but rather solemnly collected the business card, even encouraged him a few words, and took photos and signed autographs with him.

For a moment, many people were moved.

They are both top directors in the industry. Look at Director Chen, who always has a smile on his face and is very friendly to everyone.

Look at Brother Chen Kai and Feng Xiaogang, who always have a gloomy face, as if someone owes them money.

But soon, everyone overturned this idea!

Because on the afternoon of the day after the wrap-up banquet of "The Four", the public relations team and lawyer team of Feiyue Film and Television went out in full force!

The former went directly to the public security organs to report the damage to Zhao Liying's reputation.

The latter went to various courts and directly sued those media that "made statements based on pictures and deliberately spread rumors" to the court, demanding compensation for huge reputation losses!

Su Guohai and Huo Wenxi even personally held a press conference to severely criticize those media that reported without verification, as well as a certain company behind these media.

In just one afternoon, the circle exploded!

A company actually supported its own artist so much, which was rarely seen in the past.

Because in most cases, if an artist in the circle is slandered and attacked by public opinion, the agency behind him will mostly come out and say a few harsh words, and then choose to deal with the matter privately.

And operations like direct reporting and prosecution are usually done only when they have no choice.

Just like Yin Xiaotian who was stabbed before, after the public opinion broke out, he did not choose to report the case immediately, but argued on the Internet...

What's the use of this?

The final result is that all his endorsements and film and television resources were ruthlessly snatched away by competitors.

When encountering conflicts and disputes, solve them privately and exchange interests... This is the unspoken rule that many people in the circle follow.

But Chen Fei did not do so.

After a rumor appears, even if you say 10,000 words to clarify it, you will never achieve the desired effect.

In this case, just do it!

Whoever is timid should just be a coward!

At one time, more than 20 media outlets received court summonses. The strength of Feiyue Film and Feiyinghuang Agency amazed many production companies in the circle!

There are many companies that want to join in the fun but have not had time to act. At this moment, they are secretly grateful.

If you participate in this, it is not so easy to get out.

Facing the counterattack of Feiyue Film and Feiyinghuang Agency, who in the circle can withstand it except for a few companies?

Zhao Liying was not to be outdone. She immediately made a statement on Weibo, saying that she would defend her reputation to the death and would never let her fans who like her down!

"Here, I call on everyone to resist online violence and slander, do not spread rumors, do not believe in rumors, let us jointly protect a clear, civilized, clean and tidy online space..."

As soon as this article was published, directors under Feiyue Film and Television, led by Chen Fei, Ning Hao, and Guo Fan, chose to forward it.

And other artists who signed with Feiyinghuang Agency were naturally unwilling to lag behind, and they all forwarded and supported it.

In less than two days, the slogan of "resisting online violence and slander" resounded throughout Weibo, Tieba and other platforms.

Even the official chose to support, forwarding, recognizing and responding.

For a time, all the negative information about Zhao Liying on the Internet disappeared without a trace.

At this time, as the initiators of the incident, Wang Zhonglei and Li Yu were panicking and even restless!

In just a few days, the two of them became the "big villains behind the scenes"!

The two really couldn't figure it out. They just made up some rumors casually, how could it get to this point?
