Chapter 551: Ladder up to the house
The power of capital is endless.
Those who have money to play slip, but those who don't have money to stare at it......
From the acquisition of Feiyi Entertainment to the present, Liu Fei himself doesn't know how much money he has invested in Haiming Entertainment, and this investment of 1.2 billion yuan to make such an action movie is the most intuitive epitome.
In fact, before the release of the movie, according to the internal and external environment faced by Haiming Entertainment, he was ready to lose money and make money.
Or even further, when he continues to make additional investments in the film, he is ready for this.
There is no businessman in the world who likes to do loss-making business, and he is naturally no exception.
However, under the condition that the two giants of Wuying Wireless and Wantao Entertainment are jointly suppressed in China, his Haiming Entertainment must make some big moves if it wants to develop and grow.
The appearance of Alice and the promise of zero remuneration allowed him to find the initiation point of the big move, that is, to directly lay out the overseas market.
He hadn't done this kind of thing before, thinking that when he faced the joint suppression of the six giants in the Chinese business community, he didn't successfully hold the first world flower and fruit fair through cooperation with international predators such as Henry and Lanny, and it has been continued, and he has stubbornly killed a very distinctive development path.
It's a bit similar now, but it's more complicated.
Because the fruits and flowers he had on hand at that time were very competitive and had good products, but now it is different, in the case of the overall weakness of Chinese films, he is so abruptly stirring up the situation in the international market, to be honest, he doesn't have much confidence in his films.
After all, there are too many influencing factors, and the most direct one is cultural differences.
What makes him happy is that, as Yun Luohan said, he is indeed "smooth" enough, supported by three famous Hollywood movie stars, "Ming War" has a good box office in North America, in its current form, it can be concluded that he will not lose this film.
Of course, if you take into account the fact that so many celebrities have joined, huge investment, etc., aside from the overall weakness of Chinese films overseas, the current performance of this film is not very good.
For Liu Fei, who was already ready to lose money and make money, at least to push out the signboard of "Haiming Entertainment", he obviously wouldn't think of any more problems that were not outstanding.
As long as he doesn't lose money, then he is considered successful.
However, on the second day of its release in China, when many theaters have increased their film scheduling rates, and the box office of "Ming War" has not exceeded 50 million, Liu Fei has some other ideas.
People are like that, never satisfied.
He found Scorpion, Li Yunrou and others: "In addition to being released in North America, our "Ming War" will also be released in other regions overseas, but on the domestic side, we can't just disarm and surrender, so I want to play an exciting game!"
Looking at his cheap smile, the scorpion whispered, "Are you planning to do it without a theater?"
Liu Fei said: "I took a look at the ratings and related comments on the Internet, and the evaluation of our movie is still quite high, and many people are complaining that the cinema in their city can't see it at all, so we might as well make a fuss about this!"
The scorpion said: "I also found out on the online platform today that someone launched a boycott of the non-cinema line, or let's fan the flames and disgust Li Wang?"
Liu Fei said with a smile: "I also noticed it, just take this point, let's create public opinion, and rectify him! In addition, I will go to the relevant departments, after all, we are also the first Chinese film to sell this box office overseas, and seek support." ”
As soon as he heard this, the scorpion instantly understood what he meant, and immediately said: "Okay, let's go our separate ways!" If he can finally resist the pressure from all sides, and is forced to slap himself in the face, and arrange a schedule for our film, it will undoubtedly be very cool! If not, let's use this disgusting and disgusting him, it will also be very enjoyable. ”
Li Yunrou echoed: "There is another point, you can create a topic for our film and keep it hot, this is also a kind of propaganda!"
Liu Fei snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, let's take action." ”
……
Li Wang and Yuan Yongzhi were so angry that their lungs exploded after seeing that "Ming War" sold very well in North America, and even broke the box office record of Chinese films overseas in one fell swoop.
Yuan Yongzhi smiled bitterly: "This is too bloody, a Chinese film is sold like this in North America, this is ...... This really blinded my titanium eyes!"
Li Wang also looked depressed, and kept shaking his head and said: "I have to admit that this guy does have two brushes, and at present, it seems that his high-investment film should not be lost." But the more this happens, the more I have to make him depressed, because I can't control it because it's too far abroad, but at home, I still have to tell him with practical actions that I'm still his uncle! If he wants to make a fire in China, he must get my consent!"
Yuan Yongzhi nodded and said: "That's right! He now has his own theater chain, and he also has some cooperative theater chains, but it is difficult to become a climate, and he can't sell much box office together! On the contrary, it is a domestic comedy blockbuster promoted by your non-theater line, which has broken 100 million for four consecutive days, although it has fallen today, it is estimated that it is not far from 100 million, and he has to vomit blood with red eyes!"
Li Wang laughed and said: "This comedy has my investment, can I not give a high-ranking film? Wait, as its unstoppable momentum continues, I believe that the theater chain that has a cooperative relationship with him will also increase the schedule of this comedy, it's cool to think about it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a high-ranking official hurriedly walked up to him and said: "Mr. Li, in the past two days, there has suddenly appeared on the Internet to boycott our non-cinema line, although there are not many people who respond, but just in case, do we have to deal with it?"
"Boycott? Hahaha...... Li Wang looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "What are they going to boycott? What is the most important thing we have in China? That is, people! How many fans are there in the country? How many can participate in voting? To put it mildly, they are just idle and have nothing to do!"
After a pause, he continued: "My theater chain covering the whole country is there, they like to watch it or not, anyway, some people watch it, what does it have to do with me?"
Seeing that his uncle's posture was revealed again, Yuan Yongzhi was actually a little disgusted, but there was no way, who let him hold such a huge channel? If he dared to disagree, it would definitely suffer the same fate as Liu Fei.
As a content provider, he really can't and doesn't dare to offend this channel uncle!
When the executive understood what he meant, he hurried away.
After most of the day, he appeared in front of Li Wang again and said: "Mr. Li, more than 600,000 netizens have participated in the voting campaign launched by some netizens to boycott our non-cinema line for reasons such as monopoly, insecurity, and uncle's style, and it seems to be intensifying, you see......"
Li Wang, who was leaning on the chair and enjoying the secretary's massage, half-squinted his eyes and said, "How much? 60,000? hehe...... What does it matter if it's 600,000? Let them go!"
The executive coughed heavily and said, "Yes...... It's 600,000!"
He wondered, he had just said it so clearly, how could he hear it as 60,000? What do you think!
"What?!"
What does it matter if it is 600,000 just now, Li Wang immediately slapped himself in the face, he stood up in shock, and then slammed the table and said, "What...... Why are there so many? Are Liu Fei's people making trouble?"
The executive said with sincere trepidation: "It's not clear yet." ”
Li Wangqing burst out and said: "I don't know? Then what am I doing to support you with a high salary? Check, hurry up and investigate! In addition, immediately convene an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures!"
After he finished the meeting, the number of voters surged to 700,000, and this growth rate completely frightened him.
Where does he dare to delay, immediately let the technicians, the navy, etc. act together, and it is necessary to curb this rally.
However, what made him extremely depressed was that the more it was contained, the more people voted, and by noon the next day, it had soared to 2.1 million, which had the meaning of "forcing the palace"!
"This must be an organized, premeditated, and planned act of discredit! I want to see how arrogant the other side is when all resources are quickly mobilized to deal with it. ”
After Li Wang stepped up again and increased the intensity of the response, the head of the department in charge of film and television in Huaxia suddenly called him to a meeting.
He realized that the situation was not good, but he had to bite the bullet again.
And after arriving, he met the person he least wanted to see, Liu Fei!
After the film and television director motioned for the two of them to sit down, he said straight to the point: "It's not a big deal to let the two of you come today, I just want to talk about my views on some bad phenomena in the current film and television industry, I don't want to see our Chinese film and television industry, and even the Chinese entertainment industry become distorted because of some personal grievances, do you understand?"
Liu Fei said seriously: "Understood." Don't you know, Mr. Li and I are fine, maybe some rumors have spread too much recently. The reason why Mr. Li's non-cinema line did not release my "Ming War" is mainly because the cooperation contract between our two sides has not yet been negotiated, if nothing else, there should be a preliminary result today, Mr. Li, do you say?"
Contract?
What a contract!
This person is so cheap, this is playing "going up to the house to draw a ladder", so he has no way out.
But the officials in charge have spoken, and he is indeed suspected of using his monopoly position to "disrupt" the film and television market, so he had to grit his teeth and say first: "Yes, yes, there is no personal grudge between me and Mr. Liu, we are all like-minded people working together to promote our Chinese culture, and it is too late to support each other, how can we tear each other down?"
The director is also an understanding person, and there are some things that are up to the point, and there is no need to break them, which makes everyone embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "The two bosses said so, then I will be relieved, it seems that I am too worried." Anyway, I also took the time to watch "Ming Zhan", and the special effects should be the best Chinese action movie at present, but the most commendable thing is the interpretation of our Chinese kung fu, which is meaningful, expressive, and deep, very good!"
After a pause, he continued: "It's just that I, like many netizens, noticed that the martial arts instructor of this film turned out to be 'anonymous', Mr. Liu, don't you give an explanation?"
Liu Fei smiled slightly: "It's not a secret here, when I was in school, I occasionally saw the word 'anonymous' in textbooks, I was thinking about how someone would have such a name, and then I realized that this is the meaning that the author did not sign or did not know who the author was." This time I used this one on a whim. ”
The director pointed at him and laughed, "You're really headstrong, but this one has also created a hot topic, which is very interesting." ”
Seeing that they were chatting and laughing, and they were all talking about "Ming Zhan", Li Wang didn't want to interject a word, just sat there, not to mention how embarrassing it was.
After a while, the meeting ended, and the two left together, before Li Wang got into the car, Liu Fei took the initiative to walk up to him and said, "Mr. Li, dissipate your anger, but don't be angry!"
Li Wang was still stubborn at this time, he stared at him with splitting eyes and said: "You are very capable, while initiating netizen voting and creating slanderous public opinion, you even moved out of the supervisor to put pressure on me, do you think I, Li Wang, am such an easy person to succumb? I just don't give you any films, what can you do with me?"
Liu Fei said calmly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't lose, if you give it, it will be my extra earning, if you don't give it, I'm also happy, anyway, you can do it yourself, hahaha!"
"You!
Li Wang was angry and kicked his luxury car hard, but after kicking it, he bent his legs and wailed, which was really unlucky, and he even stuffed his teeth when he drank saliva......
