Jiang Se's unexpected confession made many reporters who were waiting for an answer feel gnashing their teeth. This information came too easily. There was no hesitation or beating around the bush. He just said it out loud.
The female reporter who originally wanted to make things difficult for her was strongly blocked by her words, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
Ding Ru bit her upper lip, forced a smile, and threw the recorder in her hand to the young girl with a ponytail beside her. She threw it in a hurry, and the girl was not careful and failed to hold the pen firmly, and the pen fell to the ground with a "click".
Fortunately, the hotel had thick carpets on the floor, so the recorder was not broken when it fell. But even so, Ding Ru still glared at the girl fiercely, making her face turn red, and she squatted down to pick up the recorder.
Such a small episode did not attract the attention of other people in the hotel. Everyone was busy recording the big news revealed by Jiang Se himself. After this incident, many people consciously avoided some risky topics and gradually turned the conversation back to the movie itself.
We also interviewed Fan Zhiyun, Song Xian and others, and two important male supporting actors in the drama also had a chance to speak. The second half of the launch conference was a great success for both hosts and guests.
The two-hour opening ceremony passed quickly. Lin Xiwen finally invited Hou Xiling to make a summary with him, and opened champagne to wish "Peking Events" a smooth filming and a big box office success in advance.
After the ceremony, the reporters were invited to another room in the hotel, where the crew had already prepared a buffet for everyone to enjoy.
Mo Anqi glanced at Jiang Se from a distance and stopped several photographers. She found that all the photos of Jiang Se with slight flaws had been deleted.
She remembered the information that Jiang Se had revealed before, hesitated for a moment, and reported the matter first.
Every word a celebrity says will be magnified countless times in the hands of reporters. Whether or not to report the matter, and even if it is reported, how to deal with it, all depends on how people guide them.
At the reception, the reporter first took photos of several celebrities and interviewed them privately. When it was Longxing Studio's turn, the girl who was interviewing seemed to be a newcomer. She had no chance to queue up for interviews with famous domestic celebrities such as Fan Zhiyun and Song Xian. She hesitated for a moment, walked towards Jiang Se, and called out softly:
"Miss Jiang, can I ask you a few questions?"
The name on the press card on her chest still said "intern". Thanks to the previous female reporter named "Ding Ru", Mo Anqi didn't have a good impression of the employees of Longxing Studio.
Hearing this, he was about to step forward to stop it, but Jiang Se agreed first:
"Can."
In fact, they were just a few simple questions. In such a grand occasion as today, these questions might not be broadcast, but the girl named Tao Tao asked them very seriously. She asked Jiang Se why he took on "Beijing Events" and asked about Jiang Se's understanding of the role of "Doukou". Finally, after Jiang Se finished answering, she thanked him very carefully.
"Actually, you don't have to pay attention to her." Mo Anqi thought of Ding Ru's question today and was still a little angry:
"It's easy to meet the King of Hell, but hard to deal with the little devils."
The bosses of these media studios are easy to deal with, but the reporters below will do anything to attract attention and get coverage.
Jiang Se shook his head, "It's just a small matter."
What caught her attention was Lin Xiwen, who was holding a glass of wine and chatting with investors.
There was something wrong with Lin Xiwen's expression. Although he had a smile on his face, he looked a little anxious. He held the wine in his hand for a long time without taking a sip. He seemed to be explaining something, and occasionally glanced at Jiang Se.
The representative of the investor in front of him also turned his head, and after noticing Jiang Se's gaze, the representative of the investor even raised his glass from a distance.
“This is someone from Huatou.”
Mo Anqi followed Jiang Se and explained to her in a low voice:
"This time, the total initial investment for "Peking Events" is about 260 million, of which 80% is from Huatou."
The "Huatou" she mentioned is the full name of Huaxia Fortune Investment Co., Ltd. "The legal representative is Dong Mingsheng, who is said to have always had a close relationship with Lin Xiwen."
Lin Xiwen's films rarely suffer losses to the point where they cannot get their money back, and not many of his films enjoy a good reputation, but he is good at marketing planning, has very good relationships with people at major cinema chains, and has a certain basis for scheduling his films. Audiences generally watch his films while cursing them, and the more they curse, the more profitable the box office revenue always is.
The investment risk in the film industry is high. If you bet on the wrong thing, it is very likely that the company will suffer losses.
After all, the movie is released for a short time, the results are revealed quickly, and the box office revenue determines success or failure.
Lin Xiwen's films didn't make a lot of money, but he was guaranteed to make some small money. Dong Mingsheng had worked with him many times. At this moment, while the two were talking, Lin Xiwen's face didn't look good. "Could it be that the people from Huatou want to withdraw their investment?"
Mo Anqi said in a low voice, but felt that it was unlikely.
The film's opening ceremony has already been held. At this point, if the people from China Investment Corporation withdraw their investment at this time, it will naturally have an impact on the filming of the film. It is even very likely to cause a series of adverse reactions, casting a shadow on the film before it is even released, causing controversy, and affecting the reputation and performance of the film after its release.
Logically speaking, something like this should not happen to old friends like Lin Xiwen and Dong Mingsheng who have been working together for many years.
But Lin Xiwen's ugly smile had attracted the attention of some reporters at the venue.
After coming out of the hotel, Mo Anqi drove Jiang Se home first, then turned around to inquire.
However, most of Mo Anqi's connections were in Japan, and she couldn't use them in China for the time being. She made inquiries without success and finally reported the matter to Xia Chaoqun.
Lin Xiwen was extremely worried at this time. Since the opening ceremony, the people from Huaxia Investment Company had hinted at their intention to withdraw their investment.
Investing in movies is a very risky thing. In their opinion, Jiang Se is just a newcomer. Although it is not her first time acting in a movie, her acting skills have not been demonstrated in the films she has previously starred in. Although she has gained publicity and fame due to her two disputes with Zhu Pan and has become known to the public, she does not have any box office appeal, which is a big problem.
Moreover, it was precisely because of her dispute with Zhu Pan that although she succeeded in becoming famous, it led to the poor box office performance of Zhao Rang's film in the later period. Except for the rising box office in the past few days, it has been nearly a month since the release, and the final box office revenue is less than 850 million. Compared with the momentum when the film was released, it can be said to have become a joke, and now it has spread all over the circle. (To be continued)
