Porcelain to Porcelain

The Hwaseong conference hall was filled with smoke, and Zhou Hongxun and Lu Qiu pushed the door to appear. Some executives present at the meeting saw the two appearing at the same time, and the expressions on their faces immediately became richer.

Secretary Wang Guiyou searched for Lu Qiu for a long time and couldn't find it, but as soon as Lu Qiu appeared, the big boss also came, which shows that the rumors are true.

Mr. Tian saw Zhou Hongxun and Lu Qiu, and immediately got up to give up the chair.Except for Xie Puyuan who was filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in a western town, Hwaseong's executives were basically all in place.

Zhou Hongxun raised his hand, signaling to Mr. Tian not to give way, and pulled Lu Qiu to sit down in two adjacent vacant seats.

In an instant, the center of attention of everyone in the conference room naturally became Zhou Hongxun's place.

Mr. Tian first reported to Zhou Hongxun.

"External reports have targeted Director Lu in three aspects. One is accusing Director Lu of favoring foreign actors, the other is extremely unfair pay, and the third is overseas box office fraud." There is also a fourth point, which Mr. Tian does not want to mention in front of many executives.

"Mr. Tian, ​​how many major media outlets are there to discredit us in Hwaseong?"

In one sentence, Zhou Hongxun tied the media's attack on Lu Qiu with Huacheng Company.

Mr. Tian mentioned several media names, all of which were newspapers and magazines closely related to Huaying.

"It's easy to clarify one or two points, and it's not a big problem. "The Love of Ghosts" and "The Mummy" originally wanted to make money overseas, and the use of foreign actors was only to cater to the market there." Lu Qiu shrugged.The domestic economy has not taken off, the pockets of ordinary people are not rich, and the film market is far from the potential of future generations.

Wang Guidao: "If you have a heart, you will make you worship foreigners."

Lu Qiu giggled: "As long as I earn real money back, I'll accept foreign fawning."

As soon as Lu Qiu relaxed, the executives present couldn't help laughing.Zhou Hongxun turned his face to one side, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed his admiration for Lu Qiu in his eyes.

"I'm afraid that three people will become tigers, and the public will be misled. It will be bad for Director Lu's reputation, our company's reputation, and the release of new films."

Wang Guidao: "Yes, they created a lot of momentum, and other media began to reprint it, such as the Pujiang Evening News."

Zhou Hongxun frowned: "How dare the Pujiang Evening News reprint false reports?"

The Pujiang Evening News has Feixun's advertising business, and it will basically not offend the related companies of the funder.

"The media reports of Pujiang Evening News are fairly neutral, mainly to attract attention and increase circulation." Mr. Tian opened the notepad and reported some media names. "I have contacted all of these."

Neutrality is neutrality, and smearing reports have followed suit invisibly.What Mr. Tian has to do is to let all these media publish Hwaseong's clarification statement.

Zhou Hongxun said indifferently: "Feixun's public relations department will follow up and pay attention. Mr. Tian, ​​you contact some media professionals with sharp writing skills and ask them to write more counterattack articles."

Lu Qiu tapped his fingers on the table: "What is the third overseas box office fraud?"

"Black materials concocted by some people themselves."

Mr. Tian said, and began to play the slideshow materials.

On the screen, a young, thin, bespectacled reporter standing under the Eiffel Tower spoke with a microphone.

["Ghost Love" claims in China that the film is very popular in Europe, and the average attendance rate of theaters is as high as 6000%. It is said that the box office has surpassed that of America, reaching [-] million US dollars. "]

The reporter made a questioning expression.

[Next, everyone may wish to follow me to the theater to find out. 】

The picture changed accordingly, and turned to the entrance of a theater.

[Ha, this theater is about to show "Ghost Love", um, it starts in 10 minutes, I have to hurry to buy tickets now. 】

After speaking, the reporter took out money and went to the ticket gate to buy a ticket.After buying the tickets, the reporter looked at the seats and found that the seats were not ideal, so he exchanged a few words with the conductor in French.The subtitles came out, and the conductor told the reporter why the seats were not ideal. [-]% of the tickets for this movie have been sold.

There were people behind the reporter who bought tickets, and when they got the tickets, they also murmured that the seats were too far away.

The reporter entered the theater, but found that the theater was empty, with more than 200 seats, and only a dozen people sat in it.

The reporter faced the screen and looked at his watch.

[There are still 2 minutes left for the screening, the tickets for this movie are basically sold, but what about the audience?Do we all have to come in on time? 】

As a result, when the movie was shown, there were still only [-]% of the audience in the theater, and the other [-]% of the seats were empty.

Facing the screen, the reporter drew a serious conclusion.

[Everyone understands, the so-called European audience's preference for "The Love of Ghosts" is completely hype in Hwaseong! 】

Then the reporter guided the audience to think about why Hwaseong made such a hype, and why, the words alluded to the fact that the big boss praised a certain editor and a certain male starring role.

After the slide show, a few of the executives in the venue looked at Zhou Hongxun, did the big boss really spend tens of millions of dollars to win the box office for "Human Ghost"?

That's true, it's too proud!

Lu Qiu was dumbfounded, the sewage can still be splashed like this, and he has a long posture!

Zhou Hongxun sneered: "This report looks like a fabrication. If [-]% of the movie tickets are booked in advance, naturally only [-]% of the audience will enter."

Wang Gui nodded again and again: "That's right, I can't bear the cost of making fakes. This theater only has [-] seats."

Zhou Hongxun turned to Mr. Tian: "Find out which media produced it, and send the information to Lawyer Qian."

As he said that, he called Wen Te and asked Wen Te to send professionals to Paris to investigate, and when the false evidence was found, the media would be sued in court.

Just as Zhou Hongxun hung up the line, a call from Feixun's vice president came in.

"Mr. Zhou, several directors of the company jointly requested the board of directors."

"Didn't the board of directors just meet?"

"This time they asked for another meeting." Directors have the right to request a meeting when their shares reach a certain percentage.

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know. I have communicated with them, but they refused to disclose it. They only said that they would discuss it publicly at the meeting."

"Okay, you arrange a time and notify the directors."

When the vice president agreed to hang up, Zhou Hongxun frowned, thinking about the purpose and intention of the board meeting at this time.Zhou Hongxun holds a majority of the shares, so he is not afraid that the directors will jointly push him to the throne.

However, disharmony within the board of directors will hinder the company's decision-making.

Seeing Zhou Hongxun's serious face, Lu Qiu touched his arms and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, the company has something to do, and the directors have requested a meeting."

"Is there a big problem?"

"There won't be any problems." Zhou Hongxun wasn't too worried. Feixun was working well, and the budget for smartphone R&D had been passed by the board of directors last time. The directors basically had nothing to question him.

The meeting in Hwaseong was over, the executives left one after another, and only Mr. Tian, ​​Wang Gui, Zhou Hongxun and Lu Qiu were left in the conference room.

Mr. Tian handed a file bag to Zhou Hongxun.

"Mr. Zhou, here are some photos, which were sent to me by newspapers with good relations."

Zhou Hongxun took the file bag and poured out a dozen photos.Lu Qiu leaned over to take a look, okay, they were all photos of the two driving in and out of the cohabitation apartment.

In the photos, two are of Zhou Hongxun driving an ordinary car under the name of Wen Te, and four are of Zhou Hongxun's luxury cars, driven by chauffeurs, and Zhou Hongxun himself cannot be seen.The rest of the photos are of Lu Qiu.Lu Qiu always drives by himself, Zhang Zhang is clear.

Yep, the cohabitation site was discovered by the media paparazzi.

Zhou Hongxun and Lu Qiu both looked unhappy, and no one didn't mind being followed by paparazzi in their privacy.

Mr. Tian and Wang Gui glanced at each other, and they both signaled each other to speak out with their eyes.

In the end, Wang Gui was defeated, cleared his throat and said, "Didi, you'd better stay away from that place."

Lu Qiu nodded in agreement: "Well, Hong Xun, since that apartment is exposed, let's not go there."

When Wang Gui heard this, he was a little anxious. Lu Qiu meant that instead of going to the exposed apartment, he would live together in another house.

"It's been in the limelight recently, Didi, you have to be careful, it's better to be alone..."

Zhou Hongxun immediately rolled his eyes, Wang Gui's back felt cold, and he quickly looked to Lu Qiu for help.

Lu Qiu pressed Zhou Hongxun's thigh with his hand.

"It just so happens that the perfume commercial will be filmed in Qingdao in two days, so I will live in the company dormitory for these two days."

Zhou Hongxun was extremely unwilling, but due to the current situation, he had no choice but to agree.

Two days later, Lu Qiufei endorsed the perfume in Qingdao shoot.

Before Lu Qiu left, the photos of him and Zhou Hongxun driving out of the cohabitation apartment in the same car were spread on the Internet.On this day, Feixun held another meeting at the request of the directors.
