The decision of the board of directors is even more bizarre: the film will be released as usual, originally positioned as an international blockbuster, but now it has been changed to a domestic blockbuster, which will only be shown to domestic audiences, and will be handed over to the online platform for on-demand for a month after the theatrical release.

"The domestic audience is easier to fool. This is what a company director said to Lai Quande in private, which made our "big laizi" completely dumbfounded, but once the film is put on the carriage of capital, the fate is not something that a well-known director can decide.

Liu Zichen couldn't bear it, and on the last day before the finale, he made up more than 20 shots for Lai Quande, although it was a bit mechanical and dull, but it finally allowed Lai Dao to tide over the difficulties and finish smoothly.

The result was not unexpected -

After the film was released, the box office was dismal, the audience was scolded, and in the past two years, domestic audiences have also become picky.

Although there are also a few film critics from the novel subject matter, shooting significance rounded the scene, but after all, it is difficult to recover the reputation, the company also specially hired a water army to brush up on a scoring platform, but in the end, it could not stop the sharp decline in the number of moviegoers and the flood of bad reviews, and a large group of "anti-water army" came out of nowhere halfway, so that "Mermaid VII." returned with a record low score of 2.9 points.

According to the estimation of the company's marketing department, the final loss of this film is more than 300 million, and the calculation method is unknown. According to people familiar with the matter, many movie tickets are still given away for free, so the box office is also very watery.

Fortunately, Liu Zichen and the others are not big-name stars, although the salary is not low, but the company intends to count this account on their heads, and it is very likely that they will not get any remuneration.

However, even so, for the first time, the company suffered a "huge" loss.

Because on the other hand, "Assassin" has not been able to complete the filming for a long time, but the funds are still being consumed, for the sake of dreams, Niu Cannon is not stingy. But on the one hand, it was the delay caused by the theft of the script, and on the other hand, the situation on the set was frequent, and many accidents occurred one after another, some big and some small, and the shooting was very unsmooth.

The board of directors found Niu Dacang and asked him to stop the loss immediately, but he was bombarded back by a round of "cannons", which alarmed Chairman Shi Yu, who personally went to the crew to appease Niu Cannon, and skillfully persuaded Niu Huang. In the end, Niu Dao was forced to reluctantly agree to be released within a month and a half, and the chairman's face, he still had to give it anyway, and his feelings could only be put aside.

thought that things could be dealt with like this, but who knew that the sudden release of a small web drama on a certain platform completely broke all the industry balance.

The crew of "Assassin" received a notice to suspend filming, and the funds were completely "frozen".

Because the name of this small web drama is actually called "Ninja V.: Assassin", and the plot is the second version of the script revised by Niu Cannon.

Chairman Shi Yu thundered in his office, but to no avail.

The matter is already obvious: someone is behind the scenes, and the goal is to stink the world's media!

If you take it again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The company has convened the board of directors and the executive committee for I don't know how many, but it has never been able to come up with a suitable plan, and it has no idea about the opponents hidden in the shadows.

After all, it happened suddenly and without warning.

The world media is dominant, and there have been many enemies over the years, who knows who it will provoke this time?

And it seems that the other party is prepared, well-planned, and by no means general, and the board members attach unprecedented importance to it, and in today's increasingly competitive industry, there is no possibility of turning over if it falls.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this critical juncture, a lawyer's letter came unexpectedly, and it was placed on the desk of Chairman Shi Yu at this time-

It is about the copyright issue of the script of "Mermaid VII.", from the original author Gao X.

He, the amount of claims is as high as 100 million.

Shi Yu rubbed his temples painfully, and his handsome face, which was originally handsome and confident, also looked a little haggard at this time.

How many killer features does the other side have? This is the question he is anxious about.

Xiao Li stood behind him, not daring to breathe, she was now the temporary assistant to the president.

"What do you think?" Shi Yu seemed to be talking to himself, as if asking someone.

Xiaoli stood in place, at a loss.

Shi Yu asked again with a groan, Xiao Li woke up like a dream, this is asking herself.

She muttered, "I...... I still...... I don't really understand. She tried to be as careful as she could.

Shi Yu waved his hand impatiently: "If you have anything to say, relieve my boredom." ”

"Oh......" Xiao Li quickly searched for words in her head, and after a long time, she said, "I think, I think someone wants to deal with us...... A big trap was set ......"

Shi Yu interrupted her: "You don't need to say this, I'm asking if you know who the other party is?"

"Ah?!" Xiao Li was shocked, how could the boss ask her such a question about such a small employee?

Shi Yu reminded her: "Do you think it will be your Dynasty Pictures that wants to compete with me for a place?"

Xiao Li's face suddenly lost color, this, the chairman was suspicious of his old club.

"I ...... I...... No. Xiao Li's legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground, "Boss, I'm just an assistant director, and I just came here...... Going to work. ”

Shi Yu smiled coldly: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say it was you." I've heard you know a lot of things, so I transferred you here, you know what I mean. ”

"Know...... What?" Xiao Li didn't understand.

Shi Yu reminded: "Liu Zichen, the star of the mermaid, do you know it?" he decided to open the skylight and say something bright.

Xiao Li nodded blankly: "A long time ago...... I've met once, boss, I'm not familiar with her, really, you have to believe me, she knows my friend, so I talked a few words, boss, I can swear to God!"

Shi Yu waved his hand again: "No need to explain, I just want to know the truth." ”

"The truth?" Xiao Li was even more confused, to be honest, it was enough to be the assistant to the president.

After all, Shi Yu has been in the industry for so many years, and he is very calm now.

"Tell me, what's going on with the Beiting Detective Agency?" he took out a large envelope from a drawer and threw it on his desk.

"Detective Beiting?...... I really don't know. Xiao Li was telling the truth, she didn't dare to touch the envelope, but she saw that the envelope read: Beiting Detective Agency information, hand it over to Dad.

Shi Yu said coldly: "Our dignified World Media Film and Television Group, the heroine of an international blockbuster, is actually an undercover detective, and it is definitely a big joke to spread it! If she is really a personal interest, it would be fine, but I asked the security department to check, this woman has been pretending to be sick, which directly caused the box office Waterloo, you say, what does this mean?"

"Boss, uh...... "Xiao Li shuddered, "could it be that the police are targeting...... Our company?" She secretly glanced at Shi Yu, not understanding the purpose of his questioning.

Shi Yu sneered again: "Police? If the police were going to take action, I would have gotten the word a long time ago. If I hadn't been worried about the Assassins, I wouldn't have let them succeed so easily...... This is a private act, and someone hires them to bring down the world's media. ”

Xiao Li suddenly realized that this was the case, and she was no longer nervous.

"Boss, I think if that's the case, then we can find some detectives to deal with them. Isn't it okay to be open, not to be dark?" she thought she had a good idea.

Shi Yu actually nodded: "Very good, that's why I came to you." ”

Xiao Li was stunned: "Uh, I don't understand, boss." "Find yourself to come up with such an idea?

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, do you know someone from the Condor Detective Agency?" Shi Yu didn't plan to go around in circles.

Xiaoli pretended to be confused: "God...... Eagle, haven't heard of it. ”

Shi Yu glanced at her angrily and gave an ultimatum: "I'll just make it clear, I'm a private detective who has always looked down on chickens and dogs, so I often warn them." To put it bluntly, the most annoying thing in our industry is also private detectives. So, these people definitely won't take the initiative to come to me, but money can make ghosts grind, you know?"

"Oh, oh, boss, do you want me to settle this matter?" Xiao Li finally understood.

Shi Yu said decisively: "I haven't said such a thing. ”

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, she looked up at the unfathomable Shi Yu, her eyes were full of puzzlement.

Shi Yu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes: "Either take the money and do things, or roll up and leave, and choose for yourself." "His voice is low, but it's lethal.

Xiao Li shuddered from the bottom of her heart, and she hurriedly said respectfully: "I am very willing to serve the boss." ”

Shi Yu snorted heavily from his nostrils, as if he was asleep.

Seeing that the chairman didn't plan to speak anymore, Xiao Li hurriedly withdrew from the office.
