It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 580 Termination of contract, lawsuit, counterattack is coming! Sigma man’s love affair expos

The competition between female stars is as fierce as a political struggle.

As Yang Mi's agent and partner, Zeng Jia's job is actually very simple, helping her get enough high-quality roles and get high-end endorsement brands.

As for competitors, "soft-heartedness" is absolutely impossible.

So, taking advantage of the heat of the completion of "The Martian", all the means Zeng Jia prepared in advance came out in full force and went straight to Zhao Liying.

In just half a day, the public opinion on the Internet has almost been determined.

The hired media and water army directly set up a new personality for Zhao Liying: the eternal second female role!

If it were an eighteen-line actress, she would definitely accept the term "eternal second female role".

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to play a supporting role for Liu Yifei.

But Zhao Liying is different. The company's training direction for her is to go for the heroine, and now playing a supporting role is just to accumulate popularity.

This is also the strategy after getting Chen Fei's approval.

But now, a "permanent second female role" has directly made many of the publicity and marketing resources invested in Zhao Liying go down the drain, which is unacceptable to the entire Feiyinghuang agency!

"Liying, have you offended anyone recently?"

In the small meeting room, Huo Wenxi, Zhao Liying and her agent are discussing the trend of public opinion on the Internet.

They are all veterans who have been in the circle for many years. Everyone can see at a glance that it is obvious that someone has deliberately bought water army to lead the rhythm.

The public relations department has arranged people to control the comments, but the most important thing now is to solve the root cause of the matter.

"No?!" Zhao Liying's face was full of doubts: "Since "Your Name" was released, I have been participating in the filming of "The Martian" during this period, and I haven't participated in any activities."

"Hey? That's strange, that is, I didn't participate in activities, and I didn't compete with others for film and television roles. Logically, I shouldn't be targeted, right?"

Huo Wenxi was also puzzled.

But at this moment, the silent agent suddenly said: "Could it be related to that endorsement?"

"Huh?" Huo Wenxi was slightly stunned, and looked at the girl sitting obediently beside her: "Have you been in contact with brand endorsements recently?"

"Yes, Longines watches are contacting me and want me to be their brand spokesperson in China"

As soon as the word "Longines" came out, Huo Wenxi instantly understood.

The brand spokesperson in China is not a small amount, and the annual endorsement fee must be close to 8 figures!

Such resources must be the target of competition for many female stars in the circle. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Liying should be targeted because she is too popular recently.

"Who are the competitors?"

The agent replied: "There are Yang Mi from our company, Liu Shishi from Tangren, and Yang Ying from Huayi."

"Tangren is not competitive. Yang Ying is trying to suppress the popularity of "Tai Chi" recently. She should not deliberately show up. As for Yang Mi..."

Before Huo Wenxi finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in!"

A deputy director in charge of Zhao Liying's public relations walked in. After looking at the three people, he said bluntly: "Mr. Huo, we have found out who bought the water army."

"Who?"

"It's a media company called Jiaxing."

"Jiaxing?" Huo Wenxi frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

But the next second, the deputy director of the public relations department said again: "The founder is Yang Mi, and the legal person is Zeng Jia."

As soon as these words came out, before Huo Wenxi could say anything, Zhao Liying and her agent were already confused.

"Yang Mi, not the company's..."

"Their contracts have expired, and they resigned at the beginning of the month, but they haven't announced it to the public yet."

Huo Wenxi directly said the news that could top the Weibo hot search list.

"So that's it..."

Zhao Liying's agent suddenly felt like he had suddenly realized something.

In this circle, there are countless examples of artists and agencies turning against each other, and it is not surprising at all.

Zhao Liying frowned slightly: "Mr. Huo, what should we do next?"

"You go back first, and I'll call Mr. Chen to report."

Huo Wenxi didn't know what to do for a while. After all, when Yang Mi decided to terminate the contract with the company, Chen Fei specifically told her to "part ways in peace".

But she never expected that they would be stabbed in the back just after they "parted in peace".

"What a pair of ungrateful people!"

When walking to her office, Huo Wenxi couldn't help but complain.

Everyone knows that "The Martian" is one of Feiyue Films' key projects. Now that Jiaxing has done this, it has directly attracted many competitor companies.

If this matter is not handled well, there will definitely be endless troubles in the future!

...

When Chen Fei received the call from Huo Wenxi, he was discussing the details of "Django Unchained" with Amy Nott.

After listening, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but feel a little confused at this moment.

"Yang Mi and Zhao Liying compete for endorsements? Jiaxing hired Internet trolls to discredit Zhao Liying? They called her the eternal second female lead?"

"Yes, that's roughly what happened."

"Fuck..."

Fade Chen was immediately depressed. What the hell is this?

Backstabbing?

He couldn't take care of these small domestic matters now, so he said casually: "Go and contact Mr. Su and ask him to directly announce the preparation plan for "Flower Thousand Bones". This is a TV series prepared for Zhao Liying. She will play the female lead." Number.

By the way, I would like to tell Guo Fan that "The Martian" can also include some appropriate advertising placement, such as watches.

As for the rest, you just have to figure it out yourself. "

After saying that, Chen Fei hung up the phone directly.

He has made it easy to get together and break up. As for whether the two parties are enemies or friends in the future, it depends on what Yang Mi and Zeng Jia think.

2012 is coming to an end in two days, and the atmosphere among domestic companies involved in brokerage business has suddenly become tense.

The end of every year is the peak period for actors to terminate their contracts, and this year will certainly not fall behind.

However, what everyone in the industry did not expect was that the first to cause a stir was not the famous "sinkholes" in the industry such as Huayi and Chengtian, but Tangren Film and Television!

This morning, Lin Gengxin suddenly published an article on his personal Weibo.

The content is probably that he made a request to Tangren to terminate the contract, but Cai Yinong did not agree and took out the contract and demanded that he pay high liquidated damages.

"I have filed a lawsuit with the court."

While reporting the progress of the contract termination to the outside world, Lin Gengxin angrily complained: "When I signed the contract, Tangren promised me that I would be given the leading role in at least 1 to 2 TV series and supporting actors in movies every year.

But now two years have passed, and Tang Ren has given me all supporting roles, and even provided supporting roles for newcomers. This is simply a scam! "

As soon as this article was published, it was immediately pushed to the hot search list on Weibo, triggering a wave of attention and discussion.

The Tang people were too arrogant in their actions in the past two years and offended many people. This time they finally suffered a backlash.

A lot of navy troops came out, and while driving the rhythm crazily, they caught Tang Ren and Cai Yinong and attacked!

Yang Mi, not to be outdone, hurried over to join in the fun.

"Someone likes to do that kind of 'fooling' behavior. He first promises a lot of conditions and coaxes actors into signing contracts, and then they fall out soon. I suggest that all colleagues keep their eyes open and don't fall into the devil's trap... …”

Although this Weibo did not specifically name "someone", netizens on Chigua guessed it immediately.

Besides Cai Yinong, who else could be there?

Less than half an hour after Yang Mi posted this Weibo, not long after she ended her call with Su Guohai, Huo Wenxi, who was eating melon on Weibo, suddenly received a call from Tangren.

"Mr. Huo, I hope you can take good care of the artists under you, especially Yang Mi. Some things can be said, but some things cannot be said randomly..."

Huo Wenxi, who had already tasted "melon" for the first time, naturally understood the meaning of Cai Yinong's words.

Regarding such obviously threatening words, she curled her lips and replied directly: "Mr. Cai, I also want to warn you here. If you want to gain respect, you must at least keep your word.

Also, you made the wrong call. Yang Mi has terminated her contract with Feiyinghuang. If you have any questions, you can contact her personally. "

"Dududu..."

Seeing the phone being hung up, Cai Yinong felt angry.

She wanted to call back and have a few words with Huo Wenxi, but after thinking about it, she still didn't dare to take action.

The Tang people did not have the qualifications or strength to fight against such a giant.

But, Yang Mi is definitely not in the ranks of Big Macs.

"The contract has been terminated? Haha, it's good that the contract has been terminated!"

Cai Yinong grinned, his eyes full of coldness.

Without the power of the tiger, how powerful would the fox be?

"Haha, it feels so good. It feels so good. I haven't felt this good after being criticized for a long time!"

In the RV, Yang Mi had a bright smile on her face as she watched a large number of melon-eating netizens follow her and comment on Tang Ren’s Weibo.

In the past, both parties were back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, but this time she finally gained the upper hand!

At this moment, she seemed to see Cai Yinong's gloomy face, mindless and furious, but helpless expression.

Zeng Jia on the side was also laughing: "Mimi, we have almost contacted Longines. Then they will send a team to connect with us. Then it is time to negotiate the endorsement fee. I will try to get eight figures for you. "

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Jiajia."

Today was a double happiness, and Yang Mi couldn't suppress the raised corners of her mouth.

However, at this moment, the newly hired public relations manager of Jiaxing suddenly called: "Mr. Yang, there are a lot of news about you on the Internet. Do we need to respond?"

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Zeng Jia.

At this time, the laptop on the table happened to be open. Zeng Jia tapped the refresh button in the upper right corner and saw the two latest hot news refreshed.

"Breaking news: According to informed sources, Yang Mi has officially terminated her contract with Feiyinghuang Agency, and the two parties no longer have any employment relationship."

When they saw this news, the two people in the RV looked at each other, and their heartbeats began to speed up unconsciously.

Although they had expected it, when the news of the contract termination was actually exposed, the two of them were still a little nervous.

Because this means that from now on, the two of them will be fighting alone.

Fortunately, they were prepared.

However, when they saw the second piece of news, their heartbeats accelerated again!

"Following "Startling by Each Step", "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Feiyue Film and Television's official Weibo officially announced that it will launch a new TV series next year, the title of which is "The Journey of Flower", and the female lead has been confirmed to be Zhao Liying..."

As soon as this notice appeared, the "eternal second female lead" statement was naturally broken.

In addition to envy and jealousy, other actresses could only stare with wide eyes.

On the other hand, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia were directly in shock, confusion, fear and other mental states.

No need to guess, this is definitely a counterattack and warning from Feiyue Film and Television, and it is a fierce killer move!

"Jia Jia..."

Yang Mi was about to say something when the phone rang again.

It was still the PR manager who called: "Mr. Yang, a large number of black fans and water army rushed to your Weibo, and the PR department is responding urgently, and you need to respond..."

Hearing this, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's expressions.

Tangren's counterattack is here!

...

At the same time, in Los Angeles, Chen Fei's counterattack also began.

On the day when the Academy mailed out Oscar ballots, Amy Knott arranged for someone to use hacking technology and unregulated public equipment to send an email to many Academy judges who hold voting rights.

The content of the email was more than a thousand words, praising Quentin and his film "Django Unchained".

Harvey may not know that Chen Fei has a copy of "The Art of War" in his hand.

The method of "praising to death" has been used by China five thousand years ago.

And in terms of proficiency, Chen Fei is not afraid of him at all!

After the email was sent out, Wall Street Pictures also made some responses to "Life of Pi".

Although they are both Chinese, Chen Fei will definitely not hold back in the competition for awards.

He is determined to win the Oscar for Best Director!

After the "bullet" was officially fired, it was time to let the bullet fly for a while.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Fei turned his attention back to the mainland and ate melons with great interest.

Due to the time difference, Los Angeles has not yet entered 2013, but China has taken the lead in entering the new year.

This also means that the Spring Festival period has officially begun!

"The Banquet of Kings" has been completely kicked out of the theaters, but "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" has been postponed, so it is still in hot screenings.

The overall box office can be said to be unstoppable.

At the end of the one-month screening period, the total domestic box office has exceeded 1.2 billion, and it has directly charged towards the 1.4 billion box office of "Pacific Rim".

Obviously, during this Lunar New Year period, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will win a great victory!

As the fourth work of Feiyue Film and Television that broke the billion box office in 2012, the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series has shown unparalleled box office potential.

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as the quality of the film and the original cast are guaranteed, the box office of the subsequent series will definitely not be less than 1 billion.

This is the power of the series.

On the other hand, "1942", which also boasted of "1 billion", was a bit miserable.

As the film was about to be released, the total box office had just exceeded 300 million, and the daily new box office had fallen below one million.

According to estimates by industry professionals, the final box office should be around 330 million.

This time, Huayi slapped itself hard.

With an investment of more than 200 million, it only got more than 300 million box office, and the stock price was plummeting every day. It was a terrible mess.

Feng Xiaogang was also in a bad mood. He found it difficult to understand why high reputation could not be exchanged for high box office?

When he vented his doubts on Weibo, the comments below made him a little nervous.

"Da Pao, it's the end of the year, everyone wants to have a happy New Year, you are so tearful, it's hard for us to support you!"

"Hushubao, I admit that your film is really good, but your subject matter is too harsh, I can't stand it!"

"This is a film worth savoring and exploring in depth. Brothers, I'll just read the reviews, you guys go and watch it, it's unbearable!"

This wave of comments is really sharp.

Feng Xiaogang overestimated the audience's willpower. This kind of real historical subject matter is really unbearable for ordinary people.

The other two films, "Big Shanghai" and "Life of Pi", also had a clear gap in box office at this time.

The latter's first-week comprehensive box office was as high as 100 million, while the former's first-week box office was only 23.09 million. Who is stronger and who is weaker, the difference is obvious!

If nothing unexpected happens, the two investors, Bona and Huaxiaxing, will not be able to hold a celebration banquet.

With an investment of 100 million, the box office in the first week just broke 20 million, and it is a long way from paying back. Let alone making money, it is already very good to be able to recover the cost.

What’s more important is that the Spring Festival has already begun.

“Wolf Warrior” has officially been released in domestic theaters on January 1, 2013, and there are other movies such as “The Grandmaster” and “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” waiting in line.

There are not many opportunities left for “Great Shanghai”!

Wu Jing is worthy of his image as a real man.

Because of “Wolf Warrior”, he has been very popular in the circle recently.

The final result was that a group of paparazzi followed his car after the premiere of "Wolf Warrior" and took photos of Xie Nan getting into his car and kissing him passionately in the car.

After the news that the two were dating in private was exposed, they took advantage of the popularity of the movie and went straight to the Weibo hot search list!

Sigma men don't actually have a tough mouth.

Now that he was photographed, Wu Jing did not hide it and admitted it openly and openly.

“I really didn’t expect that I have become so popular, and some people even followed me and took pictures of my girlfriend. It seems that I have to be more careful next time when I go out to play, and I can’t continue to be photographed.

As an excellent retired special operations team member, I was unaware of it. I have to make a deep self-examination and punish myself with 500 push-ups first..."

The woman had no intention of hiding it and also responded on Weibo:

"I wish "Wolf Warrior" a success at the box office, and I wish my celebrity boyfriend a better and better career."

Looking at the interaction between the two on Weibo, as well as the blessings from a large number of insiders and fans in the comment area, Chen Fei felt inexplicably "stunned".

He directly posted a comment below: "Good guys? Are you two so sweet?"
