Chapter 315: A Destined Opponent
At the same time, in a high-end villa.
The living room is covered with clouds and fog, and this is certainly not a fairyland, there is a large smoking gun smoking, and there is more than one.
On the sofa, the two people who were puffing cigarettes had gloomy faces, this was the second eldest brother of the Wang family that Zhao Punche had just talked about, and Feng Xuejun, the old cannon known as the sixth master.
The so-called old guns, in the final analysis, are gangsters and street runners.
Of course, the current sixth master has already become a well-known number one person in the circle, otherwise he would not be regarded as a guest by the brother media.
The reason why their faces are so ugly is very simple, it is the [Heart Flower Road] that they have just seen.
As Zhang Xun judged, these two also felt that the quality of the finished film of [Heart Flower Road] was likely to affect their upcoming release of the [Private Customized Dream Project].
Even before today, the Wang brothers and Feng Xuejun recognized the threat that Zhao Punctual might bring.
And today's premiere is just a confirmation for them, and even more so for them to confirm that.
As a well-known director in the industry, especially good at comedy, Feng Xuejun knows this more truly than the Wang brothers.
Yes, it is not only the Wang brothers who went today, but also Feng Xuejun. It's just that he did a good job of preparation, and he blended into the ordinary audience without being noticed.
Today, they are gathered here to discuss how to curb the [heart flower road] that is destined to become a competitor.
The means are very simple, nothing more than a three-piece set of smearing, arrangement, and rumor-mongering. Brother Media is too familiar with this.
The [Liu Fei Incident] a few years ago was their handiwork, although it completely sat down with the infamy of 'hands and black hearts', but it also made many people jealous of the brother media.
After all, some people look like people on the surface, but in fact, they don't do anything at all.
There is a way to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while. Brother Media has made good friends (krypton) with some media, raised a group of big V self-media, and chafan film critics, and a group of five-cent one, remember to delete the admiral of the navy.
It's just that after discussing for a while, the boss of the Wang family received a call from Jiang Chonghai of Oriental Media.
You don't need to ask, you know, it must be because you rashly appeared at the premiere scene of [Heart Flower Road], which made the other party start to doubt.
In the eyes of the Wang brothers, Jiang Chonghai is not a figure, and his brother media is not much weaker than Oriental Media, not to mention that there is a behemoth brother group behind Brother Media.
Oriental Media's annual revenue may not be comparable to the pure profit of Brother Group.
The brothers of the Wang family don't look down on Jiang Chonghai, but they don't dare to despise it too much, Jiang Chonghai is not terrible, what is terrible is the people behind him. Even the brothers of the Wang family who have a way don't know who is in 'those people'.
Not to mention others, Jiang Chonghai's brother-in-law Fan Weiguo alone is enough for them to drink a pot. That is the deputy of the General Administration, who is the boss in charge of the media industry, and if Brother Media wants to mix in this industry, it will inevitably intersect with the General Administration.
Of course, since the Wang brothers plan to make a move on [Xinhua Lufang], they must have investigated the background of [Xinhua Lufang] in advance, and they know that Oriental Media accounts for 30% of the investment in it.
But Jiang Chonghai is not Fan Weiguo, and the interests of Oriental Media are not Fan Weiguo's interests.
The release cycle of theatrical movies is generally one month, but the real key thing is actually only two weeks, and the most important thing is naturally the first week.
Generally speaking, the box office results of the first week are basically 50% of the total score, the second week accounts for 25% of the total score, and the third and fourth weeks together account for the last 25%.
With this smooth curve, if it is seen by stock speculators, it is estimated that it will cause a heart attack on the spot.
But for the Wang brothers, it is another opportunity that can be taken advantage of. All smearing, rumor-mongering and other means, as long as you quickly and decisively evacuate in the first week.
It can affect the reputation of [Xinhua Lufang], and it can not leave a handle for Oriental Media, and when the time comes, when his own movie is released, he will stand up and support a wave of [Xinhua Lufang], which will whitewash himself and promote his new film.
That's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
As for the possible speculation of the Oriental Media?
I'm sorry, but this is a legal society, no matter what you do, you have to talk about evidence, if you don't have evidence, you tell me a hammer, believe it or not, I'll sue you for falsehood.
Regardless of the truth, the brother media on the surface have supported [Xinhua Lufang], which is a model of morality. It doesn't matter if he is Zhao Punctuality, Jiang Chonghai or even Fan Weiguo, he can't make a move without permission.
Otherwise, he will become an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
The Wang brothers' calculations were very good, but they never expected that before their own action began, Jiang Chonghai's call had already come.
As a plastic friendship who nods the most when they meet, he calls in the middle of the night three watches, and there is no other possibility except for warning.
If you warn before you make a move, then the other party is likely to have begun to take precautions, and this is what really makes the brother media jealous.
If Brother Media wants to discredit [Xinhua Lufang], it is naturally impossible to do it by itself, but to find familiar media channels, big V self-media, Qiafan film critics and naval commanders to do it for them.
Except for a small part of these methods, which are completely controlled by Brother Media, the vast majority of the others are on a hundred meals. That is, who gives money, they help whom.
Moreover, since the brother media will support some of its minions, there is no reason why the Oriental media will not support them.
At the moment when the Oriental Media has begun to be vigilant, if the Brother Media entrusts a person who is not a good person, maybe some white-eyed wolf who receives money from both sides will sell the Brother Media backhandedly.
At that time, Brother Media will be the crotch of yellow mud paste, not that or that.
ยทยทยท
Even if the second child of the Wang family didn't know the content of the conversation between his eldest brother and Jiang Chonghai, he could guess it to some extent.
Worried, he looked at the position of his boss, just in time to see the boss hang up the phone and walk here.
As soon as I wanted to ask, I noticed that the boss's face was not good, and I naturally knew that the communication just now must be unpleasant.
Feng Xuejun is a very famous director in the circle, I dare not say the top three, there must be him in the top five, if the box office profit alone, then he is sitting on the second and looking at one.
But he is only a director after all, and he is still a little cautious in the face of real capital bosses.
He was still lying casually, and he noticed that Boss Wang's face was not good, so he sat up directly and extinguished the cigar that had just been lit not long ago. Wait for the results.
After all, the brothers of the Wang family are brothers, and after the eldest Wang approached, the second brother Wang asked impatiently: "Big brother, has the old thing surnamed Jiang noticed something?"
Boss Wang glanced at the second child, and scolded with a frosty face: "People in their forties, why don't they know stability." Do you know that if you say this, if the person surnamed Jiang hears it, it will be regarded as a trick by him!"
"Big brother, I'm just a reckless man, and the intrigues and tricks still depend on you. โ
Uh(โoโ)...
Boss Wang always felt that he had been scolded, but he couldn't come up with evidence.
Feng Xuejun originally wanted to correct that [conspiracy] should not be used, but [resourcefulness] is more appropriate. But after thinking about it, I still didn't dare.
The boss of the Wang family took care of what the two people in front of him were thinking, and he pinched the corners of his eyes because of the headache caused by the phone call just now, and sighed:
This old fox naturally called me a brother and a brother in the open, and secretly warned me not to go too far, and said anything or everyone would not look good.
I listened to the meaning of his words, the one surnamed Fan is very familiar with the people behind Qingyu Media, and he is also very optimistic about the kid surnamed Zhao. โ
The surname Fan is Fan Weiguo, and the kid surnamed Zhao is naturally Zhao Punctuality.
"I heard that kid and Boss Fan's girl are college classmates, and they are very close. Do you think the two of them are secretly hooking up? Otherwise, there is no reason to speak of it. โ
Feng Xuejun slapped the table fiercely, and his tone was a little angry and a little jealous.
Among the three people present, he paid the most attention to Zhao Punctuality, and he was also the most afraid of him, and even regarded him as a big trouble.
You must know that in terms of age, he can almost be regarded as Zhang Mou's generation. There was no less competition back then, and I lost more than I won.
It's just that with the passage of time, Zhang Mou's style of literature and art has faintly shown signs of being eliminated by the times, but his own comedy has begun to become popular.
In the past few years, with the capital of Brother Media, he has made several box office blockbuster movies, and almost firmly holds the annual box office champion every year.
And Zhang Mou has only made two movies in the past few years, and the best one is only the third result of the year.
Seeing that the high-spirited peers in the past began to hit the street, Feng Xuejun, who felt that he was good again, was ready to compete for the title of the first director.
And there's no better way to make money and prove yourself than to be successful at the box office.
But who would have thought that a Zhao Punctual would be born, and a [Iron Fist] would praise Zhang Xun, the son of Zhang Mou, an old thing, as the first young director.
Moreover, with a billion-level box office result, even the current Feng Xuejun is not sure that he will be able to break this achievement.
His highest box office in history was 672 million last year, which was already last year's annual box office champion.
This naturally made Lao Feng angry, originally he put all his energy on Zhang Mou, but whoever wanted to be a newborn calf Zhang Xun crushed himself.
That's it, after all, the billion box office is a rare result in a hundred years, maybe it's brushed out, or shit luck.
However, the love movie [Passing By] directed by Zhao Shuliang, the director of Skill Media and Zhang Mou's old partner, exceeded 600 million at the box office.
600 million, Feng Xuejun has been in the film industry for more than 20 years, and has directed nearly a dozen movies, and there is only one that has crossed the 600 million red line.
The achievements of his life are just a little bit closer to being surpassed, how do you let Feng Xuejun deal with himself.
The only thing that comforted him was that Zhao Shuliang was older than himself, so he should be a return to the light.
Therefore, when the official announcement of [Heart Flower Road] was made, Feng Xuejun really couldn't sit still.
Zhang Yu, one of the directors of [Heart Flower Road], is also under Skill Media, and he is very young, and he is Zhang Xun's best friend and good partner.
The โข older generation has not finished repairing it, and the new generation is sharpening their knives and preparing to fight back.
The most important thing is that Feng Xuejun vaguely got the news that Brother Media is discussing how to bind himself.
There are rumors that the other party wants to sign a five-year VAM agreement with him with 500 million in cash, and the red line is to guarantee a profit of more than 50 million per year, and then increase by 10% every year.
Why did Brother Media ask for its own signing, instead of looking for someone else?
It's not that they can bring them a huge return on box office revenue, and when the time comes, buy a few financial advertorials, and there will be brainless leeks that desperately burrow into the stocks of the brother group.
When the time comes, how you want to harvest and how much you want to harvest, it's not up to the brother group to say, and when the time comes, you will be your own person, even if you can't eat meat, it's enough to drink soup.
However, when a new generation emerges in the industry that can earn more box office, the value of his old gang will inevitably decline sharply.
Brother Media's investment is bound to be much more cautious, and even this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is likely to fall on others.
Cutting off people's property is like killing your parents, which makes Feng Xuejun endure it. He seems to want to suppress [Xinhua Road], but in fact, he is suppressing all factors that are unfavorable to him.
The boss of the Wang family frowned and said, "No, I remember that the kid surnamed Zhao and the chick surnamed Pei are a pair." If he really hooked up with Boss Fan's girl, how could he be a little actor. Although this little actor is still a little beautiful. โ
The second child of the Wang family remembered that he was amazed by Pei Youqing when he watched the premiere, and danced with his hands: "Yes, yes, except for the little actor named Liu Fei a few years ago, I have never seen such a fluttering ใใใ"
Before the second child of the Wang family finished speaking, he was glared at by the boss angrily, and he shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak again.
"Maybe it's just fun. Feng Xuejun pursed his mouth and said in a sour tone: "I have seen a lot of this kind of person." How do you think that the girl from Boss Fan's family can look at the boy from the countryside, even if she does, she probably doesn't have a good face.
Fan family, which is the place where rural boys are wild. He must find a way to vent, the chick surnamed Pei is probably a deflating bucket. Don't look at the current scenery, maybe you will be dumped at some point. โ
"Tut-tut, if I had the chance, I'd like to try it. The second child of the Wang family sighed twice, and he looked at Feng Xuejun: "By the way, old Feng, that kid surnamed Zhao came from the countryside like you, right?
Feng Xuejun's face froze, and he secretly said in his heart: 'Is your performance so obvious?'
His eyes rolled, and he said in a sad tone: "Mr. Wang, I'm thinking about our brother media." You see, that kid surnamed Zhao is now a member of the Forbidden City Pictures, and he has a lot to do with Zhang Mou's skills and media, and he has the support of Oriental Media, so it is definitely impossible for us to buy him.
The plate in the film and television industry is so big, since you can't become friends, you can only be opponents. You say how can I have a good attitude towards the enemy. โ
