Beijing, Chaoyang District Youtang International Building.

The largest private film distribution company in China, and the first private film company in China to obtain a distribution license, Poly Berner Film Distribution Company is located in this building.

As the CEO of the largest private distribution company in China, Yu Dong has not had a good time recently.

Although the cooperation with Poly Group four years ago lost the controlling position of the company, it relied on Oriental Shenlong Pictures, Poly Wanhe Cinema Line, and Changying Group, another major shareholder behind Oriental Shenlong.

In addition, when "My Brothers and Sisters" was released, I got to know Wen Jun, chairman of the Xiangjiang Film Awards.

At that time, Xiangjiang Films was at a low ebb, and Yu Dong successfully became the agent of Hong Kong films in the mainland, almost covering the distribution of Hong Kong films in the mainland.

Poly Berner Film Distribution Company has also been distributing films at the box office for three consecutive years since 04, accounting for 20% of the market share for three consecutive years, and is deservedly the first private film distribution company.

In addition to the general manager of Poly Bernard Film Company, Yu Dong also serves as the general manager of Oriental Shenlong Film Company and the chairman of Poly Wanhe Cinema Line, which ranks among the top 15 in the country.

It can be said that in the film industry, Yu Dong is one of the most powerful people.

However, since 05, Poly Burner's position as the industry leader has begun to face major challenges.

In 05, "Seven Swords" directed by Xu Ke, the investor Xiangjiang's Oriental Film was unwilling to give up the distribution profits to Berner in vain.

It happened that Ciwen Media was preparing to enter the film industry, so it and Oriental Film jointly established a Ciwen Oriental Film and Television Company in Beijing to distribute "Seven Swords" by itself.

In 06, Cheng Long's starring "Baby Plan", because of Huayi's investment, the mainland distribution rights were naturally taken away by Huayi.

The distribution rights of two heavyweight films in a row have been sidelined, which gave Yu Dong a sense of crisis, so he decided to enter film and television production, not just for distribution.

"Vote for the Name" is the first major production in which Berner participated in the investment.

At the same time, in order to produce more blockbusters, Yu Dong also asked Poly Group to continue to increase its capital.

However, the leaders of Poly Group in charge of the film and television culture industry have no intention of increasing capital, and also ask for profit dividends.

The cooperation between the two sides began to break down, and Yu Dong already had the idea of buying back Poly Berner's shares, and got the first round of investment of 10 million US dollars from Red Shirt Capital and Haina Asia, which fully opened up all links of film and television production, distribution and screening.

If you are involved in film and television production, you must have a reliable director, which is also the focus of Yu Dong's work in the first half of the year.

Fortunately, Xu Ke's next movie, the suspense romance film "Looking for People in the Deep Sea" is still invested and distributed by Berner, and he has not lost this great director.

However, Berner still needs to bind more excellent directors.

But where is it so easy to find directors who can sell at the box office, domestic directors have long been carved up.

The new director is also Ning Hao, since the release of "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao is said to be preparing the script of the new film.

But he changed five or six mobile phone numbers in a row, and he couldn't be reached anymore, making it clear that he didn't want to contact these film companies.

And Ning Hao's film must be from China Film, and eighty percent of it is gone.

At this time, the assistant knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Yu. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The director of the previous online university's "Sniper Phone Booth", the new movie is about to be launched. ”

The assistant reported, "The film is called Jaws, and it looks like a horror movie, and it will be released at 8 p.m. next Friday. ”

"Sniper Phone Booth"?

Yu Dong remembered that the director seemed to be named Li Qian.

Originally, Yu Dong was not interested in a big Internet director, but he had watched the previous "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", which could not be regarded as a movie.

Even the record-breaking Internet University is this kind of goods, and Yu Dong is not looking forward to any talents among the directors of the Internet University.

However, as the box office of "Sniper Phone Booth" exceeded 10 million, and the reputation was unexpectedly good, Yu Dong also took a time to watch it.

However, it gave him a big surprise, from the perspective of his thirteen years in the industry, "Sniper Phone Booth" is definitely a masterpiece in suspense movies.

Although suspense movies are niche and the box office cannot be compared with those blockbusters, Yu Dong still sent someone to contact the other party and invited Berner to make a theatrical movie.

It's just that it was rejected, and I heard that even Huayang Media and Guangxian Media also refused.

Rejecting the three major companies at the same time, and then filming the Internet, it must be more than just a relationship.

Yu Dong didn't care, just made people pay attention to Li Qian's new movie.

"Okay, I know, remind me on Friday. Yu Dong nodded.

It's not easy to produce a capable director, and I still want to see this net.

If word-of-mouth and box office are bumper again, then no matter how much it costs, Yu Dong will pull Li Qian over.

One success can be said to be accidental, and two successes in a row are still in such a young man, it is self-evident.

Even if the screening methods of Internet University and cinema movies are different, Yu Dong has to gamble.

......

At about the same time, Guangxian Media, located in Hangxing Science and Technology Park in Dongcheng District, Wang Changtian also learned the news that Li Qian's new film "Jaws" was going to be launched.

When he first entered the film industry, Wang Changtian also wanted to make a career ambitiously.

But the situation faced by Guangxian was much more difficult than Bernard.

The first film "Wounded City" that he participated in last year was squeezed out of the film by "The City Full of Golden Armor", and was humiliated by Zhang Weiping.

The two films "Fuse" and "Iron Triangle" invested this year have not yet been released, and both of these films are controlled by Berner, and Guang Xian is not dominant.

In other words, this year, Guangxian has not yet had a film that is really controlled by himself.

Hong Kong films are Bernard's own land, and the directors who can sell at the box office in China, plus the directors of Xiangjiang who go north, basically have partners, and it is not easy for Guangxian to insert a lever.

It can be said that Wang Changtian attaches more importance to Li Qian than Yu Dong, after all, Guangxian now has nothing but publicity channels, and he is poor and white in the film industry, and he is not qualified to be picky.

"Remind me next Friday that I'll watch this movie too. ”

After instructing the secretary, Wang Changtian dialed the phone number of Zhang Zhao, the president of Guangxian Pictures.

"Lao Zhang, the Li Qian you mentioned before, the new movie is about to be launched, and you can see how it will be when the time comes. ”

Compared with himself as an amateur, Zhang Zhaocai, who graduated from New York University with a master's degree in film production, is a professional, and he has also worked as a director and made films.

Although the Sino-US co-production sci-fi film "Space Hijacking" directed by China came to an end to his directorial career, at least he has the ability to appreciate movies.

......

On the other side of Huayang Media, Zhang Jun, deputy director of the production department, also found that Li Qian's new film was about to be launched.

However, unlike Yu Dong and Wang Changtian, he can't wait for Li Qian's new film to hit the street.

"This Li Qian, I didn't even see him last time, this temper is bigger than Ma Xiaogang, if this movie is still a big hit, won't I have to face the two ancestors after coming to Huayang?"

Zhang Jun sighed, he, the deputy director of the production department, was very good, and he seemed to be the second-in-command of the production department.

It's just for Chen Guozhang's hands, and those who can manage it are these people.

Ma Xiaogang can't drag it in the company, and Zhang Jun can't control his films.

Moreover, Huayang Media has four studios and a special team.

Fei Lin, Zhong Shuai, Li Xue, Zhou Shiwei, Zhang Siman , Huang Feng, the six big agents, one is more difficult to mess with than the other, and the films in which their artists participate, except for Chen Guozhang, he is not easy to manage in the production department.

This deputy director of production is difficult to do, Zhang Jun originally hoped that someone could compete with Ma Xiaogang and let him restrain a little.

Judging from the situation last time, this young man is estimated to be even more crazy.

Zhang Jun was also angry after eating a closed-door soup last time, but as long as Li Qian has the strength, after coming to Huayang, it is useless for him to be angry, and he has to bear it if he is angry.

Therefore, Zhang Jun wants Li Qian's new film to hit the street more than anyone else.

If he hits the street, Wang Zhongjun will not invite him back, he doesn't have to be angry anymore, and he will serve one more uncle.

"Alas, it's so hard!"
