1198: The Fish Die and the Net Breaks

Ignatius couldn't sleep tonight.

Tonight, Pan Dong, the boss of Glory Film and Television, and several other bigwigs in the film and television industry are also sleepless.

Tonight, I don't know how many people in the international film and television industry have trouble sleeping.

Following.

The box office of "Drifting City: Rise" exceeded 1.8 billion.

The movie "The Well of My Home", which is still in theaters, has exceeded 2 billion at the box office today with the surge in holographic glasses users, and the viewing ratio of holographic glasses users has reached 114%.

In the case that the Internet is full of free pirated resources with picture quality no less than the high-definition version, "The Well of My Family" still has a strong position and rushes into the thirteenth throne of the total box office list in China.

This movie has been released for half a month, without any accidents, and the day it was released was the day it topped the top ten of the Chinese box office.

If it is placed in a traditional theater, even if Qingyu Media does not have a falling out with Glory Film and Television. Glory Film and Television has also spared no effort to launch promotional resources, and the most optimistic box office forecast for this movie will not exceed one billion.

In all fairness, the film is a work of sincerity.

But it doesn't have too big stars to carry the traffic, and the content of the movie makes the audience relax and happy, but it lacks some depth, which makes people not have a sense of concern.

As a result, under the circumstance that the whole theater was blocked, the movie achieved a box office of 2 billion within half a month of its release......

Don't look at "Drifting City: Rise" can win a box office of 1.8 billion in less than two days, in the hearts of many film and television producers in China, this 1.8 billion data is far less powerful than the impact of Qingyu Media's movie.

The reason is simple.

"Drifting City: Rise" they can't shoot.

This kind of authentic Hollywood-style blockbuster, not to mention that they can't make it, no one in the world can make it except Hollywood.

They can't even imitate IMAX.

But Qingyu Media's film is different, this kind of urban relaxed entertainment style movie, as long as the strength is slightly ranked in the middle and upper film and television companies, they are sure. They admit that Qingyu Media has put a lot of thought into it, but any filmmaker can spend this kind of thought.

If there is no virtual world, how can Qingyu Media get a box office of 2 billion and finally enter the top 10 of the total box office list in China?

I can.

I'm fine.

He can, and so can I.

This kind of self-confidence does not only exist in the game industry, but also in any industry, practitioners who have made a little achievement have more or less this kind of self-confidence.

……

After two days of fermentation, the total shipment of holographic glasses reached 35 million.

It's a pity that the Monster Industry did its best to sprint out the shipments and failed to please users, and now on the Internet, the most scolded is the Monster Industry.

Because I can't grab the goods.

They dream of having a holographic glasses and they dream of experiencing the super-powerful visual experience that they have seen the movie "Drifting City: Rise" and then show it off everywhere.

No matter how large your shipments are, you can't buy them on major shopping websites.

Also after two days of fermentation, many filmmakers in the film and television industry have postponed their original itinerary and arrived in Zhongyun by plane.

In addition to the film and television companies led by Glory Film and Television, which control most of the physical theaters in Huaxia, they all sent representatives to come.

For a time, the hotel near the Giant Beast Industrial Building was full of influential figures in the film and television entertainment industry. These people were eager to meet with the top management of Behemoth, but at this time almost all the management of the company was too busy to touch the ground.

The appointment itinerary is full, even if you squeeze out time to meet, there are so many practitioners in the film and television industry here.

Even on the Hollywood side, there are a huge number of well-known directors who have sent letters, desperately hoping to meet the head of the virtual film and television department of Behemoth Industries.

At this morning meeting, Kong Tao reported this issue to Ye Qing.

Kong Tao hopes to pull these film and television companies into the arms of the giant beast industry as soon as possible.

Because he received news that since Ignatius, the director of "Drifting City: Rise", took advantage of the contract loophole, and unilaterally revoked the distribution rights of Glory Film and Television on the grounds that the contract did not stipulate the ownership of the copyright of the virtual theater, and switched to the arms of the giant beast industry.

Several film and television oligarchs, led by Honor Pictures and Na'vi Pictures, are now desperately contacting film and television companies and directors who have signed distribution contracts before, asking both parties to change their contracts.

The contract is naturally a supplement to the copyright clause of the virtual cinema.

"Then invite all the people who have come to Zhongyun. Ye Qing took a cursory look at the list and found that the list of film and television companies on the list was basically the same as the list of company representatives at the film and television entertainment industry party held in Shanghai a few months ago.

"These are acquaintances, and we can solve them quickly. ”

After the company meeting, these film and television industry practitioners who were entrenched in hotels near the company received an electronic invitation letter from Behemoth Industries.

At seven o'clock that night, these people gathered at the Behemoth Industrial Building.

Compared with the last dinner, almost none of the guests invited to come today brought their own company's popular flowers. Many of them were alone, with embarrassed expressions written on their faces.

Ye Qing found out about this at the dinner party, many of them had a bad appetite, and after eating a little food hastily, they got together and whispered something about something.

"Could it be that something has changed?" Ye Qing began to wonder in his heart.

It stands to reason that through the first two shocking performances, the virtual theater has completely moved these people in the industry, making them understand that even if there is no traditional theater, the movie can still be a big seller.

Dong Mei, the boss of Qingyu Media, also came, and Ye Qing specially asked her, but Dong Mei shook her head and said that she had not received any news worthy of careful treatment. Of course, it is also possible that she has completely broken with those bigwigs and has no news channels.

At half-past eight, the dinner ended, and the staff began to guide the guests into the venue.

It was a hastily impromptu gala, with no reporters and no proper seating for a regular meeting.

Everyone sat casually together in circles, and then the staff distributed tea by seat.

After the last guest entered and found a seat to sit down, Ye Qing took Kong Tao and Yang Baihe to the stage to say hello to everyone.

Time was in a hurry, and Ye Qing didn't let the assistant office prepare the speech, so he knocked on the table casually, and said into the microphone: "Please forgive me, this time the meeting was held in a hurry, and the reception work on our side was really a little poorly prepared." ”

"Of course, this is not the first time we have met. I am also acquaintances with you, and since we are acquaintances, we don't need to be too formal. ”

"I know what you're here for, and I'm looking forward to working with you. ”

"Just at the dinner, I noticed that you guys seemed to have something on your mind?"

After Ye Qing finished speaking, many of the more than 100 guests sitting in the front row showed wry smiles, looking like they wanted to speak and stopped.

This situation did not last long, and soon the representative of Hualu Film and Television Media Company, who could rank in the front line in the circle, stood up.

The representative of Hualu Film and Television is called You Yaxiang, he is not only the representative, but also the chairman of the company, Ye Qing still has some impressions of this boss with a relatively rare surname. Seeing You Yaxiang stand up, Ye Qing immediately nodded at him slightly.

"Mr. Ye. ”

"It's not a secret, and even if we don't tell it, you'll soon find out. You Yaxiang smiled bitterly: "Since the release of "Drifting City: Rise", those people have been urging us to supplement the distribution contract. ”

"The people who can come here for the dinner now are all representatives of companies who have temporarily withstood the pressure and have not signed supplementary treaties. ”

"I think those people may have realized that the situation has developed to the point where a drastic choice has to be made. ”

"So just a few hours ago, they banded together to give us the final notice. ”

You Yaxiang took out his mobile phone and shook it at this time, and smiled even more bitterly, "The notice said that if we signed a cooperation agreement with you." ”

"Then we will automatically become their competitor company, and we will no longer have any possibility of cooperating with them in terms of film and television rights and artists. ”

"It's completely cut off from our back. ”

"Mr. Ye, you should understand. The top film and television companies, in addition to owning 80% of the country's physical theater chains, also have a large number of high-quality film and television copyrights, and more than half of the powerful actors. ”

"Without this cooperation, we would both be in a state of collapse. ”

"That's ......," Ye Qing nodded.

Has the situation developed to the point where either the fish dies or the net breaks?

A competitor company is the kind of competitor company that lives and dies.

The fact that the old guys issued this kind of notice meant that once the notice was carried out, the two sides were like war opponents who had cut off any trade contacts.

Removing the Behemoth Industrial Factor, there will be no winners in this war.

Without those high-quality copyrights and a large number of first-line artists, these film and television companies sitting in the venue will become a group of troops that seriously lack "ammunition", and their combat effectiveness will plummet.

In the same way, if these "ammunition" are not provided, the bigwigs who act as arms dealers will lose their main source of income.

They are fighting against the lifeblood of the company, and the longer it lasts, the less hope they have of survival.

"That ......" You Yaxiang interrupted Ye Qing's thinking with a loud voice.

"Mr. Ye, in fact, we feel that there is still room for redemption in this matter. ”

You Yaxiang hesitated for a few seconds before whispering: "Why do you have to break the net and make money in harmony?"

"I think those people, who chose to refuse to cooperate at the beginning, did not expect that the giant beast industry would be able to suppress all the theaters in the entire Huaxia in an instant. ”

"They are arrogant and think that the film and television industry is their main battlefield and have an absolute advantage. ”

"Now I think they must have regretted their choice. ”

"If ......"

"I don't think it's difficult to sit down and talk about it again, and let them give up the traditional cinema chain and move all the film and television rights to the virtual theater instead. ”

"After all, if they don't cooperate, they won't last a few years. ”

"Of course, it will be very difficult for us film and television companies. ”

After You Yaxiang finished saying his thoughts, the representatives of other film and television companies immediately nodded in agreement.

Although they can't get used to the domineering style of those big guys, it is better than breaking the net in the end and everyone turning back history.

Ye Qing smiled and asked, "Do you think those people will agree?"

"It probably would. You Yaxiang nodded again.

Through the previous fights, he deeply understood that the bigwigs in the film and television industry were not opponents of the giant beast industry at all.

They don't want to watch their company die.

If there is still an opportunity to work together, they will definitely take it again.

Ye Qing let out an undeniable sigh, his expression made it impossible to see what choice to make.

Cooperate......

Could it be that the face of those old guys is bigger than the whole of the United States?
