Chapter 168
168 A good thing
Jiang SE’s unexpected frankness made many of the reporters who had been waiting for an answer gnash their teeth. This information had come too easily. She did not beat around the bush or try to change the subject. She had just given her answer.
The female reporter who had wanted to make things difficult for her was immediately pushed back by her words, and her face showed a little embarrassment.
Ding ru bit her upper lip and forced a smile. She threw the recording pen to a young girl with a ponytail. She threw it in a hurry, and the girl wasn’t paying attention and didn’t hold the pen firmly, so the pen fell to the ground with a clatter.
Fortunately, the hotel floor was covered with a thick carpet, so the recording pen was not broken when it fell. But even so, ding ru still glared at the girl, making her face turn red. She squatted down to pick up the recording pen.
Such a small incident did not attract the attention of the others in the hotel. Everyone was busy taking note of the big news that Jiang se had revealed. After this incident, many people consciously avoided talking about risky topics. Gradually, they returned to talking about the movie.
They also interviewed fan Zhiyun, Song Jin, and the others. The two important supporting actors in the film also had the opportunity to speak, and the second half of the opening press conference was quite enjoyable.
The two-hour opening ceremony quickly passed. Lin xiwen finally invited hou Xiling to wrap up the movie with him. He also opened a bottle of champagne to congratulate “Beiping’s event” in advance for a smooth shooting and a big box office sales.
After the ceremony, the reporters were invited to another room in the hotel. The crew had already set up a buffet for them.
Mo Anqi glanced at Jiang se from a distance and immediately stopped the photographers. She discovered that Jiang SE’s photos with any slight flaws had been deleted.
She recalled the information that Jiang se had revealed on her own accord. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to report the matter first.
Every word that a celebrity said would be magnified countless times in the hands of the reporters. Whether this matter should be reported or not, and even if it was reported, how it was dealt with, it all depended on how the people guided it.
At the reception, the reporters took photos of the celebrities and did a few simple private interviews with them. When it was Dragon travel Studios ‘turn, the girl who was being interviewed seemed to be a newcomer. She did not even have to line up to interview fan Zhiyun, Song Jin, and the other well-known celebrities in the country. She hesitated for a moment before walking toward Jiang se and calling out softly, ”
“Miss Jiang, can I ask you a few questions?”
The reporter’s certificate on her chest stated that she was still an intern. Thanks to the female reporter named ‘ding ru’, mo Anqi didn’t have a good impression of the employees of Longxing Studios.
When she heard this, she was about to step forward to stop him, but Jiang se agreed first.
“Sure.”
In reality, they were just a few simple questions. In such a Grand occasion like today’s, these questions might not even be broadcasted. However, the girl named Tao Tao asked very seriously. She asked Jiang se why she had taken on ” events of Beiping ” and her understanding of the character ” doukou. in the end, after Jiang se answered her questions, she very seriously thanked her.
“Actually, you don’t have to care about her.” Mo Anqi recalled ding ru’s question today and was still a little angry, ”
“The King of Hell is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with.”
In these Media Studios, the bosses were easy to deal with, but the reporters below them would do anything to get attention and cover.
Jiang se shook her head. it’s just a small matter.
What caught her attention was Lin xiwen, who was holding a glass of wine and chatting with the investor.
Lin xiwen’s expression did not look right. Although he was smiling, he looked a little anxious. He did not take a sip of the wine in his hand even after a long time. He seemed to be explaining something and would occasionally glance in Jiang SE’s direction.
The investor’s representative in front of him also turned his head. When he noticed Jiang SE’s gaze, he even raised his glass from a distance.
“This is someone from the Hua Tou.”
Mo Anqi followed Jiang se and explained to her in a low voice, ”
the initial investment for the event of Beiping this time is about 260 million Yuan, and 80% of it is from the Hua Investment Group.
The full name of the ‘Hua investment’ she mentioned was Hua Xia wealth Investment Co., Ltd. the legal representative is Dong Mingsheng. I heard that he has a close relationship with Lin xiwen.
Lin xiwen’s movies rarely made losses to the point of not being able to get their money back. His movies didn’t have a good reputation, but he was good at marketing planning and had good relationships with people from major cinema chains. His screening allocation was also based on a certain basis. The audience usually criticized his movies as they watched them. The more they criticized, the more profit they made at the box office.
The film industry was a risky investment. Once one made the wrong bet, it was very likely to cause the company to lose money.
After all, the movie had only been released for a short time, and the results were announced very quickly. The box office earnings determined the success or failure of the movie.
Lin xiwen’s films didn’t make a lot of money, but it was still guaranteed to make a small amount of money. Dong Mingsheng had worked with him many times, so Lin xiwen’s expression didn’t look good as the two of them were talking. could it be that the people from Hua Investment Group want to withdraw their funding? ”
Mo Anqi said in a low voice, but she felt that it was unlikely.
The movie’s opening ceremony had already been held. At this point, if the people from Hua Investment Group pulled back their investment, it would naturally affect the filming of the movie. It was very likely to cause a series of adverse reactions. It would cast a shadow on the movie before it was even released. It would attract criticism and affect the reputation and results of the movie after it was released.
Logically speaking, old friends like Lin xiwen and Dong Mingsheng, who had worked together for many years, shouldn’t have had such a thing happen.
However, Lin xiwen’s ugly smile had already attracted the attention of some reporters.
After they left the hotel, mo Anqi drove Jiang SE Home and asked around.
However, most of mo Anqi’s connections were based in Japan and she couldn’t expand them in China for the time being. After finding out nothing, she finally reported the matter to Xia Chaoqun.
At this time, Lin xiwen was in a terrible fix. After the opening ceremony, the people of Huaxia Investment Corporation had faintly expressed their intention to withdraw their funds.
Investing in a movie was a very risky thing to do. In their opinion, Jiang se was just a newcomer. Although it was not her first time acting in a movie, she had not displayed her acting skills in the previous films that she had acted in. Although she had gained some coverage and fame due to her two disputes with Zhu pan and was now known to the public, she did not have any box office appeal. This was a huge problem.
Moreover, it was precisely because of her dispute with Zhu pan that, although she had successfully stepped out of the limelight, it had caused Zhao rang’s movie to perform poorly at the box office in the later stages. Other than the rising box office sales in the past few days, it had been nearly a month since the movie was released, but the final box office sales had not even reached 850 million. Compared to the momentum of the movie when it was released, this could be said to be a joke. Now, it had spread throughout the circle.
