He believed that Wang Yang could also understand that now that the influence of the article in "Eight Hours Away" has been established, it is easy to destroy but difficult to build. It is not easy for Yan Film Studio to maintain its reputation.
The best way is to wait until the attention of readers and movie fans subsides, no one cares anymore, and the matter will naturally end.
Any actions taken by Yan Film Studio now are actually of little significance. At most, they are just a vent of the bad breath in their hearts, but they will basically not have much impact on the situation.
Seeing that Wang Yang was angry, Jiang Huaiyan didn't say much, but waited calmly, waiting for his anger to gradually pass and he regained some sense.
Jiang Huaiyan spoke again, "Director, the matter has reached this point. Unless we move to a higher level, we can't change the situation. And even if we stop "Eight Hours Away", what will happen? The abuse will not decrease.
, I think we should have a frank talk with Zhang Manling."
Wang Yang looked at Jiang Huaiyan, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Huaiyan said, "The past is in the past, and it is unrealistic to restore it to the way it was before. Now I am afraid that Zhang Manling's newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so I continue to spread some unfavorable remarks about our factory.
You should also understand that the pens of these writers are used as swords and guns. With a wave of Chunqiu's pen, we are like mud falling into our crotches, and we can't explain it at all.
Jiang Huaiyan said these words to undoubtedly boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige. Wang Yang felt angry again in his heart.
But at this time, his reason told him that Jiang Huaiyan's words were not unreasonable.
"An Unfinished Game of Chess" is said to be a political mission, but in fact it was only initiated by senior officials from the domestic film industry during their visit to Japan. It also received a response from the Japanese film industry, and it was officially turned into a Sino-Japanese co-production.
If this movie was really promoted at the ministry level, why would Yan Film Studio worry about being unable to deal with the little Zhang Manling and Tianjin Federation of Literary and Art Circles?
After thinking about it, Wang Yang sighed helplessly.
Yanying Factory is such a large department-level unit, but it can't do anything to a little girl who is just starting out. It's really ridiculous to say that.
Jiang Huaiyan seemed to see his thoughts and said to him:
"In the final analysis, this matter was caused by the conflict between us and Lin Chaoyang. He is now a new generation leader in the domestic literary circle. That is to say, he is indifferent to fame and fortune and is unwilling to get close to the government. Otherwise, he would have suffered a lot by now.
title.
But even so, in more than ten or twenty years, his status in the literary world will not be much worse than that of the older generation of writers.
In the case of "The Unfinished Game of Chess", we did handle it unkindly. They were very shameless at the time, but now they just treat it as tit-for-tat.
Why don't we take this opportunity to make peace with Lin Chaoyang, and we can still get along like friends from now on. Maybe there will be opportunities to cooperate again in the future? Wouldn't that be great?"
After Jiang Huaiyan finished speaking, Wang Yang was silent for a long time.
"Besides, this incident is not entirely bad for us." Jiang Huaiyan added.
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Huaiyan had a bitter expression on his face, ""An Unfinished Game of Chess" originally performed only averagely after its release, but it has gained a lot more viewers in recent days."
Wang Yang felt a lump of blood in his chest when he heard this. He would rather not have this kind of popularity.
Besides, how many tickets a movie sells has anything to do with their studio?
He did not answer Jiang Huaiyan's words and said in a deep voice: "Is this your solution?"
Jiang Huaiyan smiled bitterly, "What can we do? Anyway, I can't untie this trap."
What he meant was: If you don’t listen to me, leader, then you have to find a way on your own.
Wang Yang also knew that Jiang Huaiyan's words actually made sense. There was a bit of struggle on his face, and he finally said:
"That's it. The interview in "Popular Cinema" will be published as usual. We can't let go of public opinion. We must win back some reputation no matter what.
The circulation of "Popular Cinema" is more than ten times that of "Eight Hours Away", so there is no reason why it cannot suppress gossip like Zhang Manling and others in public opinion.
As for Zhang Manling, go and talk to her.
Tell her not to continue publishing the article, otherwise it will easily affect the cooperation between us. Our factory is still very optimistic about her work."
After his words fell to the ground, Jiang Huaiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the leaders no longer worry about the issue of face, this matter will be easy to handle.
The interview in "Popular Cinema" lacked Lin Chaoyang's clarification, so of course it would be less effective, but it could be considered as a way to make up for the situation before it was too late.
Once Zhang Manling is calmed down, this public opinion incident will just need to wait for time to pass slowly and it will calm down naturally.
Following Wang Yang's instructions, Jiang Huaiyan first went to Tianjin, found Zhang Manling in person and told her Yan Film Studio's attitude towards the matter, hoping to put an end to the matter.
"Xiao Zhang, I fully understand your desire to fight for Chaoyang. When it comes to this matter, there is indeed something wrong with our factory.
Now that our factory has been condemned by public opinion and your goal has been achieved, I think the two of us can shake hands and make peace.
Why keep arguing?
After all, you also have your creative career to continue, and the films you are cooperating with our film studio are also progressing steadily.
This kind of quarrel will become more and more tense, which is not good for everyone..."
Jiang Huaiyan talked for a long time, but Zhang Manling still didn't express his position. He felt a little anxious.
Could it be that this girl wants to fight to the death with our Yanying Factory? What benefits did Chaoyang give her?
When Zhang Manling learned that people from Yan Film Factory were coming, she thought she was going to face a storm, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
She thought of what Lin Chaoyang said on the phone two days ago, and thought this would be good.
"Since you said so, I have nothing to say. Chaoyang also called me that day and advised me not to embarrass each other anymore."
Listening to Zhang Manling's words, Jiang Huaiyan's heart settled down and a smile appeared on his face, "That's right..."
Jiang Huaiyan asked Zhang Manling to promise again and again that she would never write articles that were detrimental to Yan Film Studio in the future.
He also assured Zhang Manling that Yan Film Studio would never affect her film adaptation of "There is a Beautiful Place" because of this incident, and would ensure quality and quantity.
After receiving Zhang Manling's assurance, Jiang Huaiyan went to Lin Chaoyang's house to complain.
He told Zhang Manling how he had to compromise on behalf of Yan Film Studio to make peace with Zhang Manling.
After saying these words, he said to Lin Chaoyang: "Chaoyang, you see, our factory offended you before, and now you have been scolded and angry. We can always live in peace in the future, right?"
Lin Chaoyang said easily, "We've always been living in peace, haven't we?"
"That's not what I meant." Jiang Huaiyan said, winking at Lin Chaoyang, "I think we can still have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Lin Chaoyang nodded, "Of course! As long as the price is right."
Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Jiang Huaiyan suddenly felt disappointed, "You, you, really value the royalties more than anything else."
Lin Chaoyang said with a smile, "Do you still want me to work for your Yan Film Factory for free?"
"I'm not asking you to work for free. You are a local writer in Yanjing. If your work is adapted and taken away by Shanghai Film Studio, it won't be justified, right?"
"Then you have to find the reason from yourself."
Lin Chaoyang was speechless and Jiang Huaiyan was speechless.
Jiang Huaiyan said to Lin Chaoyang again: "Now that everything is out of the way, how about this, we arrange a table in the factory to treat you to dinner on the weekend, and treat it as an apology for what happened last year. How about this?"
Jiang Huaiyan's meaning was obvious. Lin Chaoyang suffered a little injustice last year, and Yan Film Studio also suffered a loss this time. It was equivalent to an even deal, and the two sides would get back on good terms in the future.
Now that everything has been reconciled, if Lin Chaoyang's work is to be adapted, Yan Film Studio should at least be on the same starting line as other studios, instead of being dismissed like "Garland Under the Mountain" last time.
Sneak around and play like a monkey.
Jiang Huaiyan's move turned passivity into initiative and disadvantage into advantage, which even Lin Chaoyang admired.
Understanding Jiang Huaiyan's thoughts, Lin Chaoyang thought for a moment and then agreed. Since it was a peace treaty, he should have some attitude.
He just proposed to invite Zhang Manling to the dinner table and have a frank and frank discussion, so as to prevent Zhang Manling's film adaptation from being judged by others.
"This is naturally better!" Jiang Huaiyan readily agreed.
After two days of busy work outside, Jiang Huaiyan returned to the film studio happily after taking care of Zhang Manling and Lin Chaoyang.
He first told Wang Yang about his communication with Zhang Manling and Lin Chaoyang, and when Wang Yang looked happy, he then talked about the dinner treat.
Wang Yang was immediately unhappy, "What kind of guests are you inviting? They have damaged the reputation of our Yan Film Studio, and I want to treat them to dinner?"
"My factory director, I should have invited you to this meal a long time ago. After the "An Unfinished Game of Chess" meeting last year, if you had invited me to invite you and expressed your apology, today's matter would not have happened."
Jiang Huaiyan tried to persuade him, but seeing that Wang Yang was still a bit embarrassed, he simply dropped the challenge.
"Yes, yes, I did bad things with good intentions, and I made it impossible for you, the great factory director, to step down.
When I went there, they told me that it is impossible to treat guests to dinner, as our factory director has never been in the habit of treating guests to dinner."
He had been running from east to west and from west to east in the past few days, and his words were almost worn out. He finally managed to get through the work. Seeing that Wang Yang still wanted to save face, he couldn't help but become sarcastic and sarcastic.
Wang Yang also understood his hard work, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll go and plead guilty to them, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyan's face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum.
On Sunday evening, Wang Yang took Jiang Huaiyan and Chen Huaikai to the Fengzeyuan Hotel outside the front door.
Fengzeyuan is a time-honored restaurant in Yanjing, specializing in Shandong cuisine. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it hosted many foreign heads of state. A meal cost dozens of yuan. In the early 1980s, it was considered a proper high-end restaurant in Yanjing.
Yan Film Factory chose this place to entertain guests, which shows its sincerity.
When Lin Chaoyang and Zhang Manling arrived together, they were watching Wang Yang standing at the door of the hotel. As soon as he saw Lin Chaoyang and the two, his face immediately filled with a smile and he held Lin Chaoyang's hand enthusiastically.
Although Wang Yang looked reluctant when Jiang Huaiyan persuaded him, he quickly thought about it after agreeing.
Now that everyone has bowed their heads to treat the guests, it would be better to be a little more straightforward and lower their heads to the bottom, leaving Lin Chaoyang speechless.
Of course, he had his own plans for keeping his posture so low today.
Since everyone has apologized and made peace, it makes sense for Yan Film Studio to lend you one of your works to adapt, right?
