Chapter 194 There are a lot of people.
Time flies, and ten days or half a month pass in the blink of an eye. Wu Jing's carefully prepared celebration banquet finally arrived as scheduled. As the film's primary producer, screenwriter, executive producer, and second male lead, Qin Tian naturally had to arrive at the scene in advance.
He not only needs to assist Wu Jing in entertaining guests, but also needs to handle a series of upcoming events.
The celebration banquet specially arranged a red carpet event and invited many media reporters to cover the event. The purpose was obvious - to take this opportunity to further boost the film's box office.
The good news is that the film has officially announced an extension of its screening period, which may allow it to achieve even greater box office success.
Nowadays, some people in society are using patriotism as a gimmick to promote this film, and even shouting extreme slogans such as "If you don't watch this film, you're not Chinese."
To be honest, Qin Tian was quite disgusted by this kind of moral blackmail marketing tactic.
However, it is undeniable that this approach can indeed attract some viewers to the cinema, thereby boosting box office revenue.
Since the kidnapping was done by someone else, but the money actually ended up in his own pocket, Wu Jing could bear all the blame that might come his way.
What does this have to do with me, Qin?
Thinking of this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel conflicted: he felt a little helpless, but also secretly pleased.
Just then, Miss Naza gracefully stepped onto the red carpet. Her outfit today looked exceptionally sharp and capable, exuding a heroic and spirited aura.
Unlike her previous attempts to outshine others on the red carpet, Naza clearly didn't try to outshine everyone else this time.
After all, this celebration banquet was ultimately to support her husband, and as one of the hosts, she chose to present herself in a low-key and humble manner.
Originally, none of them wanted to walk the red carpet, but Wu Jing insisted that they had to, as it would be good for publicity. At this point, of course, they had to listen to their older brother.
However, what happened next was somewhat unexpected for Qin Tian.
As time went on, the number of people on the red carpet gradually increased. The cast of actors was truly star-studded and a veritable gathering of celebrities.
Of the highly anticipated "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses, four actually showed up! Fan Xiaopang, Li Lianhua, Zhao Yanzi, and Zhang Ziyi all made an appearance, and their presence undoubtedly became the focus of the entire event.
The "Four Little Actresses," who are often talked about, were all present at the event.
Especially Liu Tianxian, who actually came with her mother-in-law this time.
As soon as Liu's mother-in-law saw Qin Tian, she praised him highly. Her eyes seemed to reveal a deep regret, as if she felt that she had missed something precious.
This made Liu Tianxian blush with embarrassment.
This scene made the young lady standing to the side extremely nervous. Her small hand never left Qin Tian's waist from beginning to end, clearly being on guard against Liu Tianxian's actions.
At the same time, Boss Yang and his Teddy Sisters also made a grand appearance in everyone's sight.
On the male side, the lineup was equally impressive. Two superstars from Hong Kong, along with the renowned Andy Lau, graced the event, adding even more glamour to the occasion.
At this moment, the scene was incredibly lively, its grandeur comparable to a large awards ceremony.
However, the most surprising part is from the media companies.
Giants from Hong Kong, including Emperor Entertainment Group, Edko Films, and the Heung family, all made an appearance;
In mainland China, the China Film Group is the leading force, and almost all the well-known figures have gathered here.
China Film Group, in particular, attached great importance to this event. The reason is simple: this film, "Wolf Warrior," not only has lofty ideals and actively responds to the national call, making it a true tribute film, but it has also shone brightly internationally, successfully winning honor for the country and appearing on important media platforms such as CCTV News.
Therefore, from all perspectives, China Film Group must give it sufficient attention and support.
Let's stick to the same old rhetoric, like knocking on ice, and so on.
Actually, nobody cares about these things. Everyone's here to make friends.
In his previous life, Wu Jing was fighting alone, and all his funds had to be earned through hard work.
He makes films on his own, and each film typically only requires a handful of investors to get started. However, precisely because of this, the number of people he can mentor and support is extremely limited.
As a result, those who were envious but unable to participate or get a share of the pie began to hurl insults and slander at him.
But the situation is different now. Qin Tian has a powerful company as his backing and a meticulously crafted script in hand.
Regardless of whether a film can achieve an astonishing box office of up to 5 billion, even if it is only conservatively estimated to earn 1 billion, it would still be a huge fortune!
For this reason, almost no one dared to openly and blatantly slander him; everyone wanted to build a good relationship and cooperate with him.
Of course, there may still be some minor misbehaviors, but compared to before, these people's behavior is significantly more restrained.
As for the celebrities active in the entertainment industry, most of them are there to become famous.
After learning that Qin Tian had settled down and started a family, female celebrities with some fame would often first go to Miss Naza's place before finally finding Qin Tian.
After all, they still have some reservations. But for those actresses who haven't yet made a name for themselves, they have absolutely no fear.
They were like people who were willing to risk everything, with nothing to lose and no fear of those who were wearing shoes. Even in front of that girl, they dared to openly hand her a note to show their goodwill!
Just then, Zhao Yanzi slowly walked over, her face beaming with a warm smile. She got straight to the point, expressing her hope to cooperate with Qin Tian.
However, when faced with Zhao Yanzi's overtures, Qin Tian merely responded verbally, but deep down he had other plans.
Speaking of Zhao Yanzi, her past life was truly tragic. First, she lost the military flag, then she was involved in a buyout. But the money she made wasn't clean.
She previously used leveraged tactics to aggressively acquire listed companies.
Then, he secretly manipulated the box office of movies. First, he sold all his stocks when the stock price was high. Then, he deliberately made some low-quality films, causing the stock price to plummet. Then, he bought back those stocks at a very low price.
This cycle repeats itself endlessly, ruthlessly plundering the wealth of ordinary investors like harvesting leeks.
Such behavior is not uncommon in the industry; many people use similar methods to seek exorbitant profits.
However, the problem was that Zhao Yanzi went too far and did it too frequently, which finally attracted the attention of relevant national departments, who then launched a severe crackdown on her.
In comparison, Zhang Ziyi seems much more reliable.
For example, the movie "The Climbers," in which she starred, was quite good overall.
However, perhaps due to personal reasons or a desire to showcase her acting skills, Zhang Ziyi forcibly added a romantic scene to the film and even unilaterally modified the script to increase her own screen time. What could have been a 90-point excellent film can only be barely rated 85 points after this alteration.
For Qin Tian, he had little interest in the so-called pursuit of art; he was only thinking about how to make a fortune.
Although the script for the film may have been largely finalized, if he were to ask to join the project, the other party would not only readily agree but also thank him.
Given his current reputation and influence in the industry, if Qin Tian's name were to be included in the screenwriting credits, the film's box office would be guaranteed to start at least at one billion yuan.
Therefore, I believe that even the original author would be very happy to have Qin Tian involved.
During a private conversation with Qin Tian, Fan Xiaopang subtly mentioned the possibility that the government might launch a strict investigation into tax issues.
However, Fan Xiaopang didn't seem to care too much about this, since everyone in this circle does similar things to some extent.
Seeing this, Qin Tian didn't say anything more, since the two of them didn't have any deep friendship before.
After all, it's unwise to be too forward with someone you don't know well.
However, Fan Xiaopang enthusiastically introduced Stone Boy to Qin Tian and expressed his hope that there would be a good script that could help Stone Boy develop his career.
She also mentioned that her movie "Sky Hunter" is about to be released and asked Qin Tian to help with some promotional work.
Faced with Fan Xiaopang's request, Qin Tian simply agreed with "okay, okay," but inwardly he thought to himself: At a time like this, he still has the mind to help the stone boy. He is the most perfect embodiment of the modern society: "Husbands and wives are birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately!"
As for "Sky Hunter," Qin Tian thought it was the worst of the worst movies.
In contrast, Li Lianhua became someone Qin Tian needed to actively befriend.
The reason is simple: the Li Lianhua sisters are just too amazing. If we can establish a good relationship with them, there will definitely be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
