Chapter 399 It’s so scary
Director Leng investigated and even hired a private detective to investigate, but they found nothing.
He took out the information sent by the private detective and handed it to Shao Yu expressionlessly. "We checked three places simultaneously, but we didn't find anyone hiring a killer, nor did we find that Xie Jiang was being followed."
Xie Jiang did not go out in Ningcheng without prior notice. The private detective lurked in the Imperial Court for several days and almost doubted his life.
Is this a female celebrity?
I don’t go shopping or go to bars. I just order milk tea and takeout at home every day. I’m a lazy homebody.
"Since there's no evidence, it means the rumor was fabricated to get more people to exclude Xie Jiang." Shao Yu finished flipping through the records, smiled bitterly and shook his head. "For the past six months, Xie Jiang's power has been unshakable. No wonder they're afraid."
The wealthy families in Haicheng, Jingshi and Ningcheng wanted to immigrate to outer space immediately after hearing the name Xie Jiang.
That's how scary it is.
"The company responsible for promoting tomorrow's event has arranged for eight people to go." Director Leng's face hardened into a look as if he had swallowed a fly. "Four of them are two couples with connections, just trying to get free rides."
These four people are relatives of the wife of the president of the publicity and distribution company.
When I heard that the main creators were going to Ningcheng to do a live broadcast, and the location was set at a ski resort that had not yet opened, I immediately asked to go with them.
They have been working with this publicity and promotion company for many years, and their only dissatisfaction is that the boss's wife is too indulgent towards her two nephews.
Every time a new movie is promoted, these two come along to eat, drink and play for free, and they always bring their families along.
"Are Mr. Mo and his wife going too?" Shao Yu's face looked a little ugly.
He has his own publicity and promotion company, which was established not long ago and does not have as many resources as those of the old publicity and promotion companies.
Xianyun invested a lot in this year's Lunar New Year film, and he also wanted to verify whether Xie Jiang's appeal was limited to variety shows or both film and television.
Xue Jin's new script is tailor-made for Xie Jiang. No matter who films his script, the box office will not be low.
If Xie Jiang's box office appeal is not good enough, he will reconsider whether to let her play the leading role.
Honghai and Xianyun are not short of money, but he cannot ruin his reputation.
"Mr. Mo and his wife are indeed going, and they're also going to do interviews. I heard that a venture capital firm has asked them to invest in next year's Lunar New Year film." Director Leng rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "The publicity this time is very weak. We should change the publicity company."
Their own publicity and promotion company is responsible for the distribution and publicity of the summer movies, and materials are sent to theaters across the country.
The competition during the Spring Festival period was fierce, and they needed more capital to compete with other films for screening time, so they started cooperating with their original customers.
As a result, only Jing City and Ningcheng had the film materials delivered. To other places, there were only posters and nothing else.
"Jiang Shuo bought a film and television company for Xie Jiang and renamed it Jianglai Film and Television. Xianyun is not sure whether to invest yet, but Xie Jiang is definitely a big investor." Shao Yu's face was not looking good. "We can try to find Mr. Zhou from Xianyun or Jiang Shuo to inject capital into our publicity and distribution company."
The company has enough funds, so they don’t need to cooperate with other publicity and distribution companies. The fewer investors there are, the fewer problems the movie will have.
He had a hunch that Xie Jiang would become a box office evergreen.
"I heard that Jiang Shuo's family of four and Mr. Zhou are all at the ski resort." Director Leng also thought this was a good idea.
The two big money sponsors are so close to them, there is no reason for them to go far away.
"When we get to Ningcheng tomorrow, I'll have a detailed discussion with them after the interview." Shao Yu became more and more excited as he thought about it. "Go and rest. Don't worry about Mr. Mo. Maybe we'll run into Xie Jiang tomorrow, and they'll be dealt with without us having to do anything."
Mr. Mo's Fengchun Pictures has been well-funded in recent years. It is the largest distribution company in the industry with extensive publicity and distribution channels.
Maybe they are not short of money, but their business level is getting worse and worse, and they rely entirely on high-schedule films to get work.
It is said that the funds were all raised by Mr. Mo's wife, and Mr. Mo's shares also increased from 25% to 40%, making him the largest shareholder of Fengchun.
Therefore, he was very indulgent towards his wife's two nephews.
"If Xie Jiang takes action, Fengchun might end up being shut down." Director Leng couldn't laugh.
Their film was rushed, and they spent a lot of money on publicity and promotion in order to enter the Lunar New Year holiday and to grab screening schedules.
The quality of the film is fine, and most of the premiere reviews gave it a score of 9 or above.
It was revealed right after the film was released that there were problems with the publicity and distribution company, which will definitely affect the later screening schedule. This is not something to laugh at.
"Remind Xie Jiang then. If there is any problem, we have to wait until our movie is taken off the shelves." Shao Yu choked, feeling inexplicably upset.
What's going on?
-
Xie Jiang had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, it was still dark and the starry sky was shining brightly above his head.
She lay in bed, quietly looking at the starry sky, and chatted with Eighteen in her mind, "How can you be sure that the next world will be the interstellar world? What if it is the beast world or the age world?"
It could also be the world of immortal cultivation or the post-apocalyptic wasteland world.
"Nonsense, it doesn't matter which world we go to. I'll read more novels to gain experience and put what I learn into practice." Eighteen didn't care. "It's a pity that I can't take you with me."
"I don't want to go." Xie Jiang laughed. "I don't like hardship. If I go to another world, I have to start all over again. Even if your functions return to normal, I won't go."
Her ideal is to eat delicious food and lie down like a salted fish.
It wasn't her who took the initiative to ask for the binding.
"You want to retire at such a young age, isn't that inappropriate?" Eighteen was a little confused. "You don't have to suffer in other worlds."
It has many functions and has prepared many gifts, which will be given to her as needed.
"You don't understand." Xie Jiang was very happy.
Artificial intelligence really has no brains, only algorithms.
She had been fighting for survival in the apocalypse for nearly 20 years, and finally came to a peaceful world where she had no shortage of money or work, so why not retire?
She was very scared of the days when she had to be constantly on guard against sneak attacks and the base being attacked by zombies.
"I'm artificial intelligence, how could I not understand?" Eighteen protested.
Xie Jiang smiled, too lazy to pay attention to it, covered himself with the quilt and went back to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already 11: am.
The crew's car left Ningcheng and would arrive in about half an hour.
Xie Jiang changed into warm and light clothes and went to the restaurant for dinner.
"I made you seafood porridge and steamed dumplings." Zhou Yunyu put down the tray in her hand, a faint smile on her delicate face. "Dabao and Xiaobao went skiing."
He just came this morning and she was still sleeping when he arrived.
"Don't worry about them. Have you eaten?" Xie Jiang drank some warm water, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the steamed bun with sparkling eyes, and ate it in one bite.
"I've eaten." Zhou Yunyu turned sideways to face her and said casually, "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Are you going back to the old house or to the Imperial Courtyard?"
There are not many people in the Zhou family's old house. His younger sister lives with Yan Wenjin in Beijing, and he is alone and can only live with his sister.
Just as Xie Jiang was about to speak, two men and two women suddenly rushed into the restaurant with angry expressions on their faces.
Zhou Yunyu's expression darkened as he spoke unhappily, "Who are you? Please show me your passes."
The ski resort has not officially opened yet, so the main creative crew came early and they had to have a pass.
"Xie Jiang?!" Ying Yucheng, who rushed into the restaurant first, was shocked and scared when he saw Xie Jiang suddenly.
They came early to avoid Xie Jiang, but she had just gotten up for breakfast?
Are all female celebrities so lazy?
"Do you know me?" Xie Jiang narrowed his eyes and read their messages.
Ying Yucheng and Ying Yusong are twins, and their wives came with them.
One of the four people's information was marked in red, and the remaining three people were panicking in green.
After reading their messages, she calmly looked away and spoke again, "Where are your passes?"
In order to facilitate the main creators of the crew to arrange their own itinerary, Brother Gu sent the passes to Beijing in advance. They had the passes, but they just came here to eat, drink and have fun.
The information was so corrupted that she couldn't even muster the desire to complain. It would be better to call the police directly.
