Chapter 566 The Best Times

 Dong Xi's private number is not mysterious, and it is not difficult for anyone who wants to get it.

This resulted in his mobile phone being flooded with spam messages, begging for cooperation, resources, and bed-warmers, which annoyed him so much that his personal number was managed by an assistant.

He himself changed to a more private mobile phone, and basically few outsiders knew about it.

Naturally, it was impossible for Liu Yifei to know that the reason why her text messages fell into obscurity was because they were not prioritized enough.

But the little girl didn't know this, so now she was sulking because Dong Xi didn't call back.

As the end of the year approaches, Dong Xi has too many things to do, and many meetings that he can't refuse, which makes his scalp numb.

A certain house of Dong Xi in Beijing.

"It's rare to see you nervous." Zeng Li stood in front of the mirror and helped Dong Xi straighten the folds of his clothes.

The man in the mirror was wearing a straight tunic suit. The original crepe clothes made him look domineering.

However, the expression on Dong Xi's face at this time had nothing to do with domineering, revealing the slightest trace of tangle. No wonder Zeng Li teased him.

Today Dong Xi will attend a very important meeting in the industry and will speak on stage as a representative.

The people who wrote the speech had already made preparations, but Dong Xi still felt a little guilty.

"I would rather fight Tyson in the boxing ring again than go to some bullshit speech."

After all, he had struggled to give an acceptance speech before, let alone a long speech.

Usually this kind of "bluffing" business is done by Sun Haiping, after all, he has rich experience.

However, the theme of this meeting was "Centenary of the Birth of Chinese Film", and Dong Xi was designated to be on the list.

This kind of thing cannot be refused at all. In the past, Lao Mouzi stood in the way, but in the past few years, Dong Xi has grown into a well-deserved "Nan Bo Wan" in the film industry.

He may even be the first person in the century-old history of China Film Group. After all, no one has ever achieved Dong Xi's level in terms of awards and box office, let alone overseas popularity.

What's more, he is only 29 years old. If the country doesn't praise him, who will praise him?

At nine o'clock in the morning, Dong Xi took a nanny car to the entrance of the Great Hall. This meeting was of a very high level, so the location was naturally chosen very carefully.

At this time, the entrance was already crowded with reporters, and all the national media were in sight. The long guns and cannons set up blocked most of the entrance.

The person being interviewed was Zhang Guoli. When he saw Dong Xi getting out of the car, he quickly waved to greet him.

"Director Dong, you came very early."

"Same for you."

There were rumors that the two were unhappy because of the nursery rhyme incident last year, but in fact they were all rumors.

Although Tong Yao is a popular contestant in the second season of [National Idol] and is known as Dong Xi's disciple, it actually has little to do with him.

There is no need to break up with a veteran like Zhang Guoli, after all, he was not the one who was cuckolded.

It is even more impossible for Lao Zhang to provoke Dong Xi. Even when Xizi Film and Television firmly banned nursery rhymes, it still made him feel good about it.

If Xizi Film and Television wants to preserve nursery rhymes, with Zhang Guoli's strength, there really is nothing he can do.

As long as the other party stays in the entertainment industry for one day, he will be slapped in the face.

Normally the two sides had little interaction, but today Zhang Guoli was particularly enthusiastic and held Dong Xi's hand without letting go.

His expression was like looking at a young lady: "Director Dong, I have a great book. I wonder if you are interested in it."

If it were done in private, Dong Xi would refuse it directly. The scripts accumulated by the company now are enough for him to film the 2008 Olympics, so there is no need to take on outside dramas.

But this time in front of the media, Dong Xi responded calmly: "Okay, let's talk after the meeting."

Zhang Guoli is a man with many ideas. He is one of the earliest people behind the scenes of transformation in the Mainland, involved in film and television production, and has evolved from an actor to a capital investor.

He has a batch of high-quality IPs at his disposal. Although they are all dramas, they do not conflict with Xizi Film and Television.

As we all know, although Dong Xi was born in pseudo-Qing palace dramas such as "Huanzhugege", his company has never produced any film and television works with Qing Dynasty themes.

"Director Dong, you are going to give a speech today, how are you preparing for it?"

"Director Dong, the box office of "Crazy Stone" is declining rapidly. Is there any hope of exceeding 200 million?"

"Director Dong, some film critics have commented that you are a dictator and the culprit hindering the progress of Chinese-language films..."

Facing Dong Xi, even the official media had countless questions, and the microphones poked him in the face.

Compared to when he first debuted, Dong Xi's first reaction when faced with this situation was to run away.

However, so many years of training have made him mature a lot, and he can still smile despite harsh questions.

After "Crazy Stone" experienced another crazy start, the box office dropped significantly.

This was actually expected by the company. What is the biggest disadvantage of this movie?

There must be no big scenes. 2D movies are the favorites of pirates. For the audience, secretly watching pirated discs at home is no different from going to the theater.

The general environment is like this, and Xizi Film and Television has not made too many preparations to prevent piracy. Unlike when "One Thirteen" or "Myth" were released, preventing theft was the top priority.

Of course, the best movie to prevent piracy this year is "Uncensored 1998". It has been released for more than two months, and piracy has not spread on a large scale so far...

All I can say is that national strength is awesome~

Xizi Film and Television certainly does not have such strong anti-theft measures, so the box office decline is understandable.

The company is now evaluating whether to release genuine CDs to seize the market and the impact of genuine CDs on the box office.

The criticism of Dong Xi by film critics is more like the howl of a defeated dog, not worth mentioning.

………

At ten o'clock in the morning, Dong Xi took a few pages of manuscript paper and walked onto the stage under the leadership of the staff. He delivered a speech as an industry representative.

Looking at the crowd of people under the stage, there are many big names in the industry. It can be said that the entire Chinese film industry for the past two decades has been sitting below.

Staring at Dong Xi on the stage with burning eyes, Dong Xi felt less nervous after seeing this scene.

"cough……"

Dong Xi cleared his throat, glanced down at the manuscript in his hand, and then threw it aside.

The assistant at the side of the stage saw this scene and covered his head helplessly.

He understood that his boss's old habit of going off-script had returned.

Dong Xi likes to express himself freely, but sometimes the results are really mediocre. A typical person is addicted to food.

"Hello everyone, my name is Dong Xi. My main occupation is a director. Of course I am also an actor, screenwriter and investor part-time."

"I think everyone should know me. If you don't know me, I hope the security personnel can verify his identity!"

Dong Xi made a small joke, and the audience laughed in agreement.

"Hahaha~"

After all, the probability that anyone who can attend today's meeting does not know Dong Xi is basically zero.

"Today's theme is the 100th anniversary of Chinese film. It's about movies and this era. I think this is the best era for Chinese-language movies!"

"I would like to encourage you all."
