After being slag, I became popular in the entertainment industry

Chen Zhiwen's appearance and his confident words suddenly seemed to light a firecracker in the heart of the loud and sharp man who refused to let Chen Zhiwen be the director.

He turned his head and said cursingly, "You take it?! Brat, what's the use of you taking it! The board of directors hasn't passed the approval of this movie yet, so what the hell can you do if you want to take it—"

Before she finished speaking, Michelle paused slightly when she saw Chen Zhiwen's face.

His impression of Chinese people is basically not very good. This person is born with typical and harsh racial prejudice. Licheng pays attention to tolerance and tolerance, but Michelle always stares at the yellow race with more critical eyes. people.

However, the moment he saw Chen Zhiwen, he had to admit that this little director with little talent and no reputation had a pretty face.

Aware of this fact, Michelle's face became even more gloomy.

He doesn't think a good-looking face is of any use, especially if the other party is a director!

——The most important thing for a director is of course talent and ability!You are good-looking, so if you say a few words to the public at the movie press conference, will the public be willing to watch a bad movie that is destined to hit the street because of your face?

——This is absolutely impossible!

Chen Zhiwen ignored Michelle as if it were air, nodded lightly to the young mixed-race man sitting on the boss chair, and asked with a smile, "Can I sit across from you?"

Seeing Chen Zhiwen's confident and calm demeanor, Augustine Kevin also flashed a look of appreciation, "Of course."

Seeing them talking to themselves, the manager looked a little more ugly. He seemed to grab Chen Zhiwen's arm and yelled, "The management of Morgan Tower has always been strict, and the company has never Let the idlers go upstairs easily! How did you get in here...! Woo!"

At the moment when the other party was about to grab him, Chen Zhiwen glanced at him unhurriedly... In an instant, he grabbed the tiger's mouth of his right arm with his hand, and let him sway gently with the inertia of his body. Twist, backhand to restrain him!

He raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his lips, lowered his head, and whispered in his ear, "I don't like people pointing at me, and I don't like people wanting to touch me."

Chen Zhiwen continued to speak unhurriedly.

His voice seemed to be naturally lazy, and he could easily enter anyone's heart.

"Also, I seem to have heard it just now. Someone said that as long as I, a little-known little director in Huaguo, really dare to come to this place, that person seems to be about to jump off the 25th floor..."

"you!!"

Caught by Chen Zhiwen, the middle-aged man with thinning hair looked at him with eyes that implied anger.

When they raised their heads, they were a little closer, and felt Chen Zhiwen's smiling breath, his cheeks turned red for some reason, and felt a faint fragrance that seemed to grab the tip of his nose, so he didn't make any more noise .

On the contrary, the person sitting in front of the boss's mahogany desk laughed.

Chen Zhiwen turned his head and found that Augustine Kevin, one of the big bosses in the original book, did look like a playboy.

His hair is slightly curly, dark gray close to the northern sky, his facial expression is much stronger than that of ordinary Asians, but his eyes are a little more smoky and passionate, as if staring at a telegraph pole is discharging of.

"You are very skilled, my dear Chen, it seems that it is a shame for you to direct an ethical film. I should ask you to make a martial arts film."

Augustine Kevin, who was sitting on the back of the computer, clapped his hands, as if to praise Chen Zhiwen's action just now.

He moved quickly, sat up straight, and immediately pressed a button, and indeed a bodyguard came up.

However, under Michelle's hopeful eyes, the other party did not throw Chen Zhiwen, the yellow-skinned monkey who broke in for no reason, as he imagined——

Instead, he said politely and shouted "Mr. Michelle, this is against the rules", but the movements of his hands were brutal and directly pulled him away!

"Bastard—Augustin—you guys will defeat old Kevin's foundation sooner or later!!!!"

Hearing the loud voice from outside, Chen Zhiwen raised his eyebrows, "Is it okay?"

Help a so-called little outsider director like him.

Augustine Kevin nodded slightly, and he didn't know whether he was using his seductive skills for many years or just an unconscious behavior.

His eyes seemed to have water in his eyes.

"It's okay, Chen, you are more important."

Chen Zhiwen sneered, and sat down, not feeling cold about it at all.

——You want to flirt with me, but you are still a little tender.

------

After sitting down and having a good conversation, Chen Zhiwen discovered that this so-called first step to shake up the Huaguo film market and establish his own film dynasty is far from as easy as he imagined——

First of all, there have been some problems with Morgan's financial situation recently.

Augustine Kevin is a playboy. Unlike Yuan Kai, who is ambitious and capable, he is not interested in the film business at all. After his father passed away a few years ago, the production value of the entire film company in his hands has dropped a lot...

In particular, the two films invested this year, one is called Heavy Metal Wars, which tells the violent scenes of the doomsday wasteland, and the other is Golden Gate Happy Event, which is about the collision and sparks between the Chinese's own concepts and foreign cultures. It's a pity that these two films have suffered heavy losses, especially the heavy metal record, which invested nearly 5000 million U.S. dollars, and through Morgan's strong theater cooperation capabilities, it has achieved nearly 30% of the film schedule with global theaters in the first week. , and finally until it was taken off the shelves, only less than 1000 million US dollars was harvested, and the loss was heavy.

For most film production companies, a failed investment is likely to seriously hit the company's capital flow, and even face bankruptcy.

Of course, Morgan Pictures also has the rich accumulation and precipitation of its predecessors, so it will not end up in such a tragic end. However, the pressure from shareholders is very high now. The man named Michelle just now is Morgan The manager of the company was very dissatisfied with this newly appointed director, especially when he heard that he chose to appoint a dingy little monkey from Huaguo, he was so angry that his nose was crooked!

——I haven’t even made a qualified theater movie. When I asked about the results, it was a Huaguo micro movie?Ha, micro movie?Is that a school work taken by a college student?Can this kind of thing be said to brag?

——This is simply nonsense!

——If you have to do it a few more times, maybe Morgan Pictures, which once had a brilliant record in the global film industry, may also go bankrupt!

That's why he was so angry, he was full of distrust for this prodigal director, and he was full of disdain for Chen Zhiwen, a little director from China with no reputation at all.

"It's really a mess..."

Augustine Kevin was quite sincere, and directly showed him the company's latest financial statements, and Chen Zhiwen flipped through them.

He raised his head slowly, and once those peach blossom eyes became serious, they narrowed slightly, carrying a strange charm.

"Since your company's recent financial problems are serious, you shouldn't take the risk of making a film with a controversial ethical theme, and appoint a director who is not well-known and has never made a formal film."

"I suddenly felt that the gentleman who was kicked out just now seemed a little wronged."

Chen Zhiwen tested the other party with a smile.

If this Augustine Kevin is really an idiot and has never considered these important issues, then what is in front of Chen Zhiwen is a pit of fire. He seems to have to think about it, and change the idea of ​​a production company.

However, thinking about the script idea proposed by the other party, I feel that this person doesn't seem so unreliable.

Augustine Kevin waved his hand, his voice was quite sincere, "No, no, no, I have thought very clearly."

"The previous two failed investments have led to the termination of the company's current cooperation with some publicity companies. Therefore, the multiple-choice question adapting a controversial original novel to a movie can greatly save us the cost of publicity. Series costs, put more money into the process of shooting and selection!"

"Is there any more... As for using you, Chen."

A sly look flashed in the silver-gray eyes of the other party, like a flowing galaxy, "It's very simple, because I am attracted by your charm!"

"Oh?" Chen Zhiwen raised his eyebrows, without any expression of emotion on his face.

"Hey, what kind of eyes are you looking at! Although my art appreciation ability may indeed have some problems, but I am also a good businessman, okay? I also graduated with honors from Caltech's business school!"

Augustine Kevin spread his hands, as if he was trying to increase his persuasiveness, "Your redemption film, um... I didn't understand much, but it was published on the official website of the Huaguo National Youth Director Microfilm Competition. , you can have more than [-] million hits, and you haven’t even made any fake information after checking it, which means that your film has a strong artistic audience!"

Listening to the other party's analysis, Chen Zhiwen looked at his face for a long time, but the other party's sincere smile still did not fade away, so he nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, I barely believe it."

He looked again at Morgan's financial statements.

Indeed, although Augustine Kevin is terrible in the art and aesthetics of film selection, he is indeed a business genius. The theater performance of Full Metal Wars is very poor, but he still sells the related peripherals of the corresponding mechanical thugs. With the cool appearance of those little people, I made a sum of children's money, which slightly offset some losses.

Augustine Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.

One thing he didn't say.

He originally approached Zhan Mingyu, intending to persuade him to consider making this movie.

The Chinese director first came to Lee City before breaking out in Hollywood, and almost in the cold winter, because there was no film to shoot, he hit a wall everywhere and wanted to give up.It was Augustine Kevin's grandfather who persuaded him not to give up hope, so he persisted.

——"If you are a filmmaker who really loves to create, you can't be defeated by the cold of severe winter."

It is precisely because of this that Zhan Mingyu has been encouraged to achieve great success in Hollywood, and this kindness has always been kept in his heart. If he, a young director who has already gained a certain degree of recognition in the world, is allowed to make a move, the other party will probably not reject.

Unexpectedly, when Augustine Kevin found him, Zhan Mingyu was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, with an extremely sour voice——

"If you really want to find one that can be recognized by people all over the world, and that can shake the prejudice of all audiences on the controversial film "Luo Shui", I can't..."

"However, there is one person who can definitely do it."

After the National Young Directors Competition ended, and after Chen Zhiwen dared to point out the chaos in the director circle in Huaguo in a variety show, and was hidden by snow, Zhan Mingyu had completely looked away.

He knows that in this world, there are people beyond people, and beyond the sky, some people are destined to shine in their lives.

He had no way to stand up and protect Li Changyan when he poured dirty water on Chen Zhiwen, so he could only make a phone call in vain, watching the atrocities on the Internet in the silent air;

He had no way when Chen Zhiwen was pointing at criticizing capital, knowing that it was a correct and high-spirited thing, but he sat on the seat dumbly, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't stand up. Be around him, speak up for him—he has too many things to take into account now, and the new literary film "North of the Sky" will be released in China soon, and it will participate in international awards, and there is Zhou Entertainment's investment behind it Color, he has no way to separate from the capital, let alone stand on the opposite side of the capital.

However, Zhan Mingyu knew that this was an opportunity.

It's like seeing a bird that was supposed to fly high was tied to a rope, and he couldn't untie it, so naturally he had to find a chance for him to save himself——

This time, he chose to recommend Chen Zhiwen.

To make up for the infinite and missed sourness in my heart.

"There is only one person who is suitable, and that is Chen Zhiwen."

Augustine Kevin hadn't heard much about this person's name before. The National Young Directors Microfilm Competition, at most, only had a little splash in the director circle in China, and it didn't make other countries pay attention.

However, after hearing this person's name and watching the other party's controversial events and movies, Augustine Kevin patted his head, and an impulsive decision came to his heart inexplicably.

——Well, it's him!

It doesn't matter if it's a strange impulse, he always feels that... when everyone is not optimistic about him...

— This man will work miracles.

…………

"Hey, Chen, let's get down to business. Before I formally confirm you, I want to ask you a question. If you are asked to direct the remake of "Luoshui", what will happen to the middle-aged painter Wang Weiquan who assisted you?"

Chen Zhiwen stopped turning over the financial statements, and raised his head.

He smiled slightly. He had an elegant and handsome appearance, but at this moment, it inexplicably made people feel a bit chilly, but it made the arc of the corners of his eyes even more charming.

"Of course I chose to send him to hell." Chen Zhiwen replied with a smile.

"Huh?" Augustine Kevin's handsome face looked a little unbelievable.

In the original novel, after doing a series of injuries to Luo Shui and repenting, the middle-aged painter donated most of his life's property and chose to atone for his sins. Fearing that Luo Shui would find out, he had plastic surgery and secretly By her side, as long as I look at her stupidly, I feel satisfied.

Chen Zhiwen said directly... choose to send this person to hell?

Although this looks like a pedophile-like painter, it is indeed quite hateful, but this...

The hand with sharp knuckles tapped the table lightly, Chen Zhiwen blinked his eyes, and the magnetic voice counted out the crimes one by one, like a trial.

"Seduction. Rape of minors, sex with children, threats, secret filming, imprisonment... None of these crimes can be forgiven in my eyes."

At this moment, there was an extreme charm on his face.

"—Forgive him is God's work, and all I can do is to send this script before God."
