Chapter 257 Unexpected Phone Call (2/5)

"I spent a while in Hollywood, made two movies, bought a film company, and invested in about fifty movies. Let me tell you what the so-called free creation in Hollywood means!"

"Before every major movie is launched, the producers will tell you countless hard rules, such as racial discrimination, and black people must play supporting roles or protagonists... When "Inception" directed by Nolan was released, a group of people protested, saying that there were no black actors, and that they were discriminating against them... In fact, it is clear that more than one-quarter of people of color must be needed, but in the eyes of black people, this person of color only refers to black actors!"

"Then, my "Out of Access" was protested by a group of idle and frustrated Chinese teams, saying that I discriminate against Chinese... Please, I am a Chinese myself, and I discriminate against myself?"

"The passing year is not good!"

"Look, this is the Hollywood among these critics... I really doubt whether these people understand movies?"

"Looking at their film reviews, they often have human nature, democracy, freedom, criticism... and do not mention movie language, movie shots, movie editing at all..."

"I've said it a long time ago that these people are best at making sentences in eight-legged essays. Looking through their film reviews, they will definitely tell a few words about Bazin or Eisenstein, and quote a few more people who can't understand the misunderstandings, and then repeat the movie from beginning to end... It's really easy for you to make money!"

"By the way, I suddenly remembered a story that happened to director Zhang Yimou!"

""Living" is recognized as the best-known movie directed by Zhang Yimou, but when "Living" was first released, he was scolded by a group of film critics, saying that Zhang Yimou could not make movies anymore, and also saying that "Living" is a so-called bad movie..."

"Why do they blame director Zhang Yimou so much? Because the style of "Living" is particularly similar to Xie Jing! How was the domestic critic in the 1980s famous? It is just anti-Xie Jing!"

"Zhang Yimou actually made a movie in Xie Jing's style. In the eyes of experts and professors, he was simply slapping himself in the face and was driving history, so he was naturally full of scolding."

"A dramatic thing happened later, "Living" was banned, and these people immediately changed their positions and began to crazily praise "Living" because the higher the praise of "Living" the more they were, the more they were awesome!"

"This is very similar to the sixth generation of directors today. Most of their works are isolated from the market, but film critics don't want money to praise them. Why?"

"It's because of the banned film!"

He said a lot of words in one breath. At the end, Zhang Junsheng watched the director of the program team of "My 24 Hours": "This episode must be broadcast intact!"

“…Yes, I got it!”

...

After the meeting, Zhang Junsheng returned to the office and approved a few documents. At one o'clock in the afternoon, he drove away from the company.

"It's better to be your boss, you can control your time freely..."

I muttered to the camera that was following the camera, and got off the car, and the phone rang. It was Xie Ning. This guy must have received the rumor that Zhang Junsheng was recording the show, and wanted to show his face...

When I turned on the hands-free, Xie Ning's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Zhang, the later stage of "Tangshan Earthquake" is currently progressing smoothly. We can guarantee that all the later stage work can be completed before March next year..."

"No hurry. Anyway, it's released in May and there's plenty of time, so let's follow the plan we agreed on before..."

"Okay, director..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng explained to the camera: "The person who called me just now was the person in charge of Yuehua Special Effects, who is also the leader of the later working group of "Tangshan Earthquake". I know that many viewers are looking forward to "Tangshan Earthquake", and I am also looking forward to it, but film production requires process. As the saying goes, if you are anxious, you can't eat hot tofu. Moreover, "Tangshan Earthquake" involves real history after all, and we need to control every link in the later stage..."

As I walked and chatted, I walked into the living room and my phone rang again...

"Who is it? You said that my last show...Zhang Ziyi?"

I picked up my phone and looked at the caller ID. It turned out to be Zhang Ziyi...

"Mr. Zhang, do you need to turn off the camera in this section?"

“…you let me think about it…”

I recalled carefully that the son of the plane seemed to have nothing to do with Zhang Ziyi. The only times I met were in Cannes. With her status, she would not change her body to her role…

"...You guys watch the broadcast, stop talking, I'll connect!"

Before the other party could speak, Zhang Junsheng clicked on the speakerphone, and a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, is it Zhang Junsheng?"

"I am Zhang Junsheng, Sister Ziyi, are you doing something?"

"…Junsheng, you must save me!"

Zhang Ziyi's voice was a little crying...

Did she be kidnapped?

No, you should call the police if you are kidnapped!

"My 24 Hours" explains in lip words: "…scam donations..."

Fraudulent donation?

Is this a coincidence?

"Sister Ziyi, let me talk about what happened first!"

“…so…”

Zhang Ziyi cried so hard, but she still explained the story clearly. It was indeed a "fake donation", but her "fake donation" herself was also a victim.

In June of the previous year, Zhang Ziyi participated in the Cannes Film Festival. When something happened to be a major earthquake, Zhang Ziyi wanted to use her influence to raise a batch of donations to help the people in the disaster area...

For charity, many celebrities at that time expressed generous donation, but they only filled out pledge cards and did not pay...

Zhang Ziyi probably had never held a similar activity, or was in a hurry to add her personality to her. She counted the number of pledge cards and asked the reporter that the amount of the money was US$2 million.

Then, two years have passed, and the Shuchuan Charity Federation, the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, the Provincial Red Cross Society, and the Shudu Disabled Persons Welfare Foundation all said that they did not receive donations in the name of Zhang Ziyi.

Where is the money?

It has a great influence, and more than a dozen TV stations have reported this...

The news about Zhang Ziyi's fraud in donation has been overwhelming, and people are talking about it everywhere on the Internet...

It is obvious that someone is adding fuel to the fire. In addition, Zhang Ziyi himself did not take this matter seriously, but just made the agent send an irrelevant explanation...

Her attitude completely angered the melon-eating crowd...

"A person wants to donate money and do good deeds, and the amount is the same as the same as the one who says he wants to donate. Especially for public figures like Zhang Ziyi, no one stipulates how much he has to donate. Since the amount of donation is announced, it should be cashed out and there is no discount. Speaking of not being able to do it is hypocrisy, and it is deceiving the public!"

"If you donate less, donate less. No one will scold you. Why do you want to deceive the public?"

"As a celebrity, if you are willing to donate, no one asks you to donate. But the most shameful thing is that you donate without donating money, and you have to make a lot of money inflated, so you canvass yourself and use the feelings of the people to cheat everyone's money."

Zhang Ziyi may feel that she has been used to being hacked, so it doesn’t matter...

As long as it doesn't affect making money...

When the endorsement company asked her to terminate the contract, Zhang Ziyi realized the seriousness of the matter...

Celebrity image is very precious. Once you bring it with you, don’t take it off easily. The most direct loss is money!

Just Zhang Junsheng has been busy with roadshows for a while, so he didn't know such a big thing...

After listening to Zhang Ziyi's story, he was a little confused: "No, this is not your fault. I hold a press conference, apologize to the public, announce the fundraising details, explain the whole story in detail, and just explain clearly. How can I save you?"

"No, many celebrities who fill out the pledge cards are very famous. If I announce their names, I will definitely offend a group of people..."
