Chapter 362: Double Swords

After an interview, Zhang Weiping and the reporters left happily.

The reporters got the explosive revelations and attention-grabbing topics they wanted, while Zhang Weiping took advantage of the current opportunity to take another step on Lao Mouzi.

He just wanted to step Lao Mouzi into the mud and make him completely silent. In this way, he, the producer Zhang Weiping, can continue to step out and take all the achievements and contributions of Lao Mouzi in the past years of filmmaking in his name as the producer! He wants to squeeze out the remaining value of the other party!

He, Zhang Weiping, wants to be the number one producer in China!

With this goal in mind, Zhang Weiping was full of longing for the future, waiting for these reporters to break the news that day.

However, things did not develop in the direction Zhang Weiping expected. He was interviewed in the morning. Logically speaking, some fast gossip reports should come out at noon, and some evening newspapers should publish them in the entertainment section at night, but he waited and waited. I waited until eight o'clock in the evening, but the media didn't expose anything!

In other words, two media outlets wrote articles online and released today's interview, but this was far from the effect Zhang Weiping wanted!

Zhang Weiping thought that this was quite strange and should not be done at all! Just like Lao Mouzi, when everyone is shouting and scolding, it stands to reason that these media should be scrambling to grab this wave of traffic. How come they are all so negative?

Zhang Weiping quickly picked up the phone and started to contact the media who were familiar with him. He had not been around in vain all these years. He soon got on the phone with a deputy editor-in-chief of a newspaper:

"Editor-in-Chief Liu, why didn't the interview this morning appear in the newspaper?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, we have more than one or two interviews every day. The content of the past few days has been squeezed out, and the layout is not enough. It is common for today's interview to be a day or two late. thing."

Zhang Weiping snorted coldly in his heart and said directly: "Old Liu, what's the relationship between the two of us? Are you still playing tricks on me? How about I bring a few bottles of Maotai to drink with you tomorrow?"

Editor-in-chief Liu laughed when he heard this and said: "Hahaha, let's have a drink, who is afraid of whom? We have a new young man from Lu Province, I will bring him with me tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll help you, Old Liu, test the quality of the young man. What's going on? Don't hide it from me, right?"

"Haha, it's actually not a big deal. Miracle Films specially told us and asked us to help suppress Director Zhang's matter."

Zhang Weiping frowned when he heard this: "What? Miracle Film and Television? How did they get involved?"

"Lao Zhang, I don't know about this. But we always have to give Miracle Films face."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Weiping's face became unsightly. Lao Mouzi was extremely easy to deal with. He was just a ball of dough. He could be pinched as much as he wanted, and there was nothing he could do to resist.

But Miracle Film and Television is different. The other party is now very influential and has many cooperation and contacts with major newspapers and TV stations. These media will naturally sell each other's favor. Now Zhang Weiping alone cannot compete with Miracle Film and Television.

But then Zhang Weiping snorted coldly. These media are all profit-seeking. Even if the black material about Lao Mouzi can be suppressed for a day or two, it will not be suppressed for too long, and it has now been exposed on the Internet. , Unless something bigger and more powerful comes out, Lao Mouzi’s story will definitely spread!

And now that we are campaigning for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, what could be more attractive to the public than this?

Thinking of this, Zhang Weiping smiled. He was not in a hurry. It would only be a matter of a few days sooner or later!

However, just when Zhang Weiping was thinking this way, a big news came out the next day, and it was related to Lao Mouzi. However, this news was not as detrimental to Lao Mouzi as he thought, but just right. The opposite situation:

"Two great directors join forces, Wu Yuchen and Zhang Yimou form a team together!"

This moment made Zhang Weiping jump up and down, why did this old Mouzi get together with Wu Yuchen! Group together? Can you still do this?

Zhang Weiping never thought that this kind of thing would happen. After all, other directors run a team campaign by themselves. When he thought about it, how could a top Chinese director like Wu Yuchen lose face and form a team with other people? What about a group?

At the same time, reporters are constantly chasing Wu Yuchen:

"Director Wu, may I ask why you made such a decision?"

"Director Wu, why did you suddenly announce that you and Zhang Yimou will form a group together?"

"Director Wu, is your decision related to Zhang Yimou's previous scandal?"

Looking at these reporters asking random questions, Wu Yuchen pressed his hands down, and the press officer also hurriedly maintained the order of the scene. After the scene was quiet, Wu Yuchen said:

“The Olympic Games are a grand event for our country and a grand ceremony for our country. Therefore, it is my duty to do my part for the Olympics!

As for why Director Zhang and I formed a team, it was not a sudden decision. In fact, Director Zhang and I have been communicating about the Olympics for a long time. We have many similar ideas about the Olympics, so forming a team together took a period of careful thinking.

In fact, in my personal opinion, for an international event as big as the Olympic Games to be successfully held and to show the style of our country, it is not enough to rely solely on the strength of one person, but to rely on everyone. Work together!

From this perspective, I think it was a right decision for Director Zhang and I to form a team together. Even if our plans are eliminated, if some of them, or even a bright idea, can help this Olympics and other teams, then we will be satisfied! "

Click, click, click, reporters kept taking photos, and immediately spread the first-hand news from the scene to the whole of China.

At this time, the Internet was also in a commotion because of this news:

"Oh my god, Wu Yuchen actually merged with Lao Mouzi's team!"

"Two swords combined! Their team is invincible! Who can compare with other teams!?"

"You can't say that. It still depends on the plan that comes out."

"Damn! I never expected that Director Wu would help Lao Mouzi like this! He is so kind and righteous!"

"I thought Zhang Yimou was going to be finished, but Wu Yuchen suddenly stepped in to help him at the critical moment!"

"Why do you say that? Director Wu said it was not a sudden decision."

"Hahaha, that's such a coincidence. They happened to be together after Lao Mouzi's accident. This is obviously because Wu Yuchen saw that Lao Mouzi was being scolded too harshly, so he reached out to give him a hand!"

"Director Wu is so righteous. He doesn't care about personal gain or loss at all, and he accepts Lao Mouzi so generously! Look at the other teams, they are all on their own. Only Director Wu has the courage to accept Lao Mouzi for the Olympics. son!"

"Then, is their team headed by Wu Yuchen or Lao Mouzi?"

"It's obviously Wu Yuchen, there's no need to say that!"

"Although Zhang Yimou is not good at morality, he is still good at it. He is very good at helping Director Wu!"

"I believe in Director Wu and don't make too many conspiracy theories. No matter how many people there are, as long as they can be beneficial to the Olympics, then there is nothing to say! Support!"

"Originally I wanted to continue scolding Zhang Yimou, but now I see that Director Wu is saving face and the Olympics, so I won't scold him anymore!"

"Zhang Yimou can help Director Wu make a good start. If he can be selected to host the Olympics, then he can be let go!"

There are a lot of comments like this on the Internet.

Before, everyone was still scolding Lao Mouzi and criticizing him from all angles. But as soon as this news came out, many people immediately changed their attitude.

As soon as everyone saw that Wu Yuchen stood up, and although he didn't mention the matter of Lao Mouzi's death, he directly formed a team. This was obviously that he was on the same front, and he supported Lao Mouzi with actions, so he must support him. Director Wu!

And the most important point is that this time is not an ordinary thing. Director Wu even said that it is for the Olympics! Combining the strengths of him and Lao Mouzi and adopting their respective strengths, it seems to everyone that this team is obviously stronger than a single person team!

For Director Wu and the Olympics, a large number of people have switched sides. Instead of scolding Lao Mouzi, they started to cheer for Wu Yuchen's team!

This not only dumbfounded Zhang Weiping, but also some other teams in this Olympic campaign felt uncomfortable after seeing this news.

Originally, when Lao Mouzi had an accident, they were gloating over it, and they might even have pushed him secretly. Unexpectedly, they pushed Lao Mouzi to Wu Yuchen. Now the two teams have been directly merged to form a team. A stronger competitor! This naturally gave them a headache!

Amidst all this chaos, time quickly came to September 19th.

In Kuangou, the capital, many reporters came here the night before to stay in order to get a good location for shooting.

"Coming, coming!"

The first thing that stopped at the door was a military vehicle, and what got off was Zhang Jigang, the leader of the Song and Dance Ensemble of the General Political Department. He led the creative planning core group from the army to build a team. To contribute to the Olympics, the People's Army is naturally indispensable!

Then, the Magic City Culture and Media Group took the lead in bringing together the Magic City team of local artists from Magic City and Jinling system, the Guangdong Province team formed by the provincial art groups, the overseas Chinese representative art team led by pyrotechnics master Cai Guoqiang, and the National Song and Dance Troupe. The joint group formed by the CCTV Literary and Art Center and so on have arrived one after another.

In the central building, the judges standing upstairs looked at the lively scene downstairs and said with a smile: "This is the first time since our establishment that it is so lively!"

The leader chuckled: "This brings together the elites of our Chinese literary and art circles, how can it not be lively?"

At this moment, the leader's phone rang. When he saw that it was Wu Yuchen, he picked it up and said with a smile: "Director Wu, you guys haven't arrived yet, so I called you first!"

"Leader, we will be there soon. I am calling to ask you to arrange for a few more staff to pick us up at the door and carry the tender documents."

"Moving the tender documents? Okay, I'll find someone to pick you up right away."

After hanging up the phone and arranging the matter, he heard one of the judges shaking his head and saying: "Director Wu is very impressive. If there is anything to move the tender documents, we need several people to pick them up."

"Perhaps Director Wu and his team submitted a lot of bids."

"How many bids can there be? And their team isn't just him and Zhang Yimou? Isn't it enough?"

Obviously, in his opinion, Wu Yuchen was all about pomp and show that he was different.

The leader smiled and waved his hand: "These are all trivial matters. What we focus on today is the plan. As long as the Olympics can be successfully held, everything else will be put aside."

Everyone on the judging panel nodded in agreement after hearing this.

At this time, many people in the press group below shouted: "Director Chen is here!"

Director Chen Kaige stepped out of a Mercedes-Benz car, and the only person accompanying him was his wife Chen Hong, who was holding a brown paper briefcase in her arms.

"Director Chen, look here!"

"Director Chen, are you confident?"

The reporters took pictures and shouted, and at the same time they were a little puzzled, because compared with the previous election teams, Chen Kaizi was too few.

It's not that many people came before, each group had a lot of people, and it was definitely impossible for all of them to come, but how come there were four or five people in each team, and each of them was carrying a briefcase, which contained the campaign bids and documents they prepared for today.

And now, look at Director Chen, it's just the couple, only Chen Hong is holding a briefcase, looking very relaxed and comfortable, as if she is not here to run for election, but to show her love together!

But the reporters didn't care so much, just take pictures and send them back as soon as possible.

When Chen Kaizi walked in, a group of reporters were also discussing: "I see Director Chen's confident attitude, and I feel that this director is like something in his pocket."

"This Olympic campaign is full of hidden talents, and Director Chen's confidence is unique at present! I admire this mentality!"

"Maybe Director Chen has prepared some big moves!"

Just as the reporters were chattering, someone suddenly shouted: "Here they come!"

The reporters picked up their cameras again, and then saw a motorcade slowly driving towards this side. It was a real motorcade, with a car in front and two trucks behind!

"Wow! Who is this? Such a big scene!"

"Wow, the trucks are here!"

The reporters were amazed. Before, it was at most a van, but now there are two trucks!

When the motorcade stopped, Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi walked down from the car in front with smiles on their faces, attracting reporters to take pictures.

Upstairs, the judges who had already sat down were resting and preparing for the next stage of the review. A staff member ran in and shouted, "Leaders, please go out and take a look!"

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Director Wu and Director Zhang brought two large trucks of bid documents!"
