Chapter 1249 - Big Bad Image
Compared with the previous life, the Radio and Television Bureau in this life has undergone great changes in both its image and its functions.
But it's understandable.
In today's world, China's national strength is strong, and it is a strong party in the formulation of international rules, which has virtually relieved a lot of pressure on the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television.
Moreover, the self-confidence and pride of the people of this world from the bottom of their hearts are not comparable to those of previous lives.
This self-confidence is evident in all aspects.
Coupled with the special political system in this world, the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television does not assume too many obligations and responsibilities in this life as it did in previous lives.
But there is one thing in common, that is, they all have the heart to hope that the Chinese film industry will be brilliant.
In the conference room, no matter what their status is, most of them expect the local film industry to thrive and have an international influence that matches the strength of China's strong country.
Therefore, the high-level leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau, including Tao Lao, are all thinking about the future of the local film industry.
Now that everyone knows that box office fraud will invisibly bring such a big harm to the Chinese film industry, they suddenly can't sit still.
10% box office moisture.
Nearly 10 billion fake box office!
What this means, everyone knows very well in their hearts.
The inauthenticity of the statistics, and then the decisions made based on those data, are bound to have a big impact.
And if this trend spreads, the consequences will become even more severe.
The further you get to the back, the harder it is to deal with.
Tao Lao took out such a document to make the atmosphere in the conference room solemn, and the middle-aged fat man who had just jumped very happily also lowered his head and pretended to look at the document in his hand at this time, not daring to raise his head to speak.
It was not without people in the conference room who supported him, and even a few of them had already passed the breath before the meeting began.
In due course, they will certainly stand up in solidarity with him.
But now the middle-aged fat man knows that these people will definitely not stand up.
Looking at the grim look of Director Zheng Liqiang, you can guess how serious the matter is.
Zheng Liqiang gently put down the documents in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, he naturally knows all the rules of the film industry.
Things like box office fraud and buying box office are repeatedly banned, and he knows it.
There is no way, many film companies often break a certain movie record at the box office with just one kick in the door, and it is too normal to refresh the record and gain honor and increase popularity through some means of playing side balls.
For this kind of thing, Zheng Liqiang has always turned a blind eye to this kind of thing in the past, and in some aspects, it is sometimes a matter of adding luster to the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television.
But now seeing the data report provided by Tao Lao, he suddenly shuddered in his heart.
Nearly 10 billion Chinese dollars of false box office, this data is too exaggerated.
If this matter is exposed, it will undoubtedly cause an earthquake, and those media will definitely not let go of these things.
Then his position in the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television is bound to be in jeopardy.
But it's not easy to do!
"Old Tao, do you have any good suggestions?" Zheng Liqiang couldn't help asking.
Everyone in the industry knows exactly what box office fraud is about, and it has been banned repeatedly, in addition to some benefits, it is also related to not violating any laws.
It does not touch any legal provisions, and the film company pays all the taxes generated by the box office bought.
It can be said that the film company will not leave any handle to the Radio and Television Bureau.
This is also one of the main reasons why box office fraud has been repeatedly banned for so many years and has become a big problem.
When Tao Lao heard Zheng Liqiang's question, he was prepared, smiled faintly, and said: "Actually, it's mainly about the number of moviegoers, I still have a piece of data here, this data is the survey and statistics that I commissioned an authoritative organization to do in the past few days, please take a look!"
Subsequently, another document was sent to everyone.
July 17, Yanjing XXX Cinema.
Fast & Furious, 10 p.m. (340 people), 14 p.m. (680 people), 19 p.m. (1,400 people)
Crazy Racing, 10 o'clock (33 people), 14 o'clock (170 people), 19 o'clock (590 people)
This is a statistic of the number of moviegoers.
From July 17th to July 20th, six different cities in China were selected. Sample survey statistics made.
The data is very detailed, and many people looked at the investigation agency indicated in the document, and their expressions couldn't help but show that this agency is very authoritative, and there is no problem with the credibility of the survey data.
And after the middle-aged fat man looked at the Chinese piece in his hand for a moment, his expression changed greatly, and cold sweat broke out from time to time behind his back.
July 17th!
This day happened to be the day when the box office of "Crazy Racing" rose against the trend.
How can it be?
How could the timing of this agency be so accurate?
Or did this authority know that Victory Pictures would carry out box office fraud and just waited there?
In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through the middle-aged fat man's mind, and he faintly had a bad feeling in his heart, maybe this time Victory Pictures will suffer a big loss!
This is obviously Tao Lao opening a big net, waiting for the big fish to be caught.
Now it's time to close the net.
And Victory Pictures is the big fish that people are waiting for.
The middle-aged fat man was not stupid, he guessed a lot of things in an instant, and he quickly gave up the idea of continuing to help the Zhao family.
Otherwise, he would probably set himself on fire.
In the document, the statistics of authoritative institutions are not the most shocking.
Instead, behind the number of moviegoers in each theater, the box office statistics of each theater on the timely film platform are attached, which is the most deadly.
"Crazy Racing" has accumulated less than 3,000 viewers in a day in a theater, but the box office data is as high as more than 500,000 yuan.
Everyone knew at a glance that there was a lot of moisture in this box office.
3,000 moviegoers, but more than 500,000 Chinese yuan in box office revenue, how is this possible?
Does this movie ticket cost 200 yuan?
Just think about it.
Even if some viewers don't have time to go because of something suddenly, it is absolutely impossible to have such a big error.
The 200 yuan movie ticket is simply a joke in the world.
"It's not for nothing that there are 200 movie tickets a piece, but I don't think these 3,000 people buy VIP tickets, and this theater can't have so many VIP boxes. Tao Lao said with a hint of sarcasm.
The middle-aged fat man listened to the cold sweat, and if this data statistic is exposed now, it is estimated that it will definitely explode outside.
This time, Victory Pictures is estimated to be dead.
In fact, for the outside media, they like to use the statistics of the box office to report the news, after all, this is the most intuitive.
But for industry insiders in the film industry, the box office is certainly an important factor to measure the success of a movie, but the number of moviegoers is also a hard indicator.
Because of the repeated prohibition of box office fraud, the number of moviegoers is also an important basis for the film industry to judge a movie.
"Now the supervision technology of scrutineers has also improved, we can press the camera in the theater, the number of people is within 1%, it is allowed, and the error is between 2%, and the alarm will be called. ”
"The box office is by no means the whole of the film industry, and the Chinese film industry must not be judged only by the box office. Only by being less noisy and impetuous, and creating more meticulously, can our film industry and cultural undertakings truly develop and prosper. ”
Tao Lao said slowly with emotion, and then there was applause in the conference room again, everyone present, including the middle-aged fat man, no one doubted Tao Lao's love for Chinese movies.
But his own heart was up and down, his mood was agitated, and no one knew that most of what he said in the conference room today came from a document sent to him by Yang Ming.
Whether it is the statistical results of the investigation by authoritative institutions, or some prevention and punishment measures for box office fraud, Yang Ming basically handed over to Tao Lao.
Yang Ming's purpose, Tao Lao is very clear.
It is not only a counterattack against Victory Pictures, but also to seek fairness!
Yang Ming, a young man, did not hide his selfishness in the email, but Tao Lao did not have any fault with this selfishness.
Compete on a level playing field!
This is what the Film Association and the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television must do.
Moreover, Yang Ming's words and suggestions in the email also touched the most persistent place in Tao Lao's heart.
That is, everything is for the future of the Chinese film industry.
The general environment of the Chinese film industry in this world is undoubtedly much better than in the previous life.
The number of current cinemas alone is not comparable to that of the previous life, and the most important thing is that the market for Chinese films in the present world is several times larger than in the previous life.
This is also the biggest difference between the two film industries in Yang Ming's opinion.
In fact, in the previous life, the domestic film industry came to the back, whether in terms of capital or technology, it was not very different from Hollywood.
The difference is the market, the difference is creativity, and the difference is professionalism!
And the market is the top priority.
Why can Hollywood spend hundreds of millions of dollars on special effects in a movie?
Because people can sell movies to every corner of the world, no matter how high the cost of film production is, they can recover it.
But domestic movies obviously can't!
can only rely on the local film market to survive!
The East Asian film market, which is the world's largest box office, is undoubtedly what Yang Ming feels the most.
The foundation laid by the great man for Huaxia back then was really good.
Yang Ming naturally didn't want to continue to follow the old path of the previous life after the outbreak of the film market in this world, with all kinds of chaos and all kinds of demons dancing wildly, so he speculated for Tao Lao in the email that if the current situation continues to develop, the future of the Chinese film industry will definitely not be so bright.
has the reference of the film industry in his previous life, and all kinds of outrageous chaos, Yang Ming is at his fingertips.
Yang Ming also analyzed the harm clearly in the email.
Because of these things that Yang Ming has personally experienced one by one, no one knows better than him that if he continues to follow this situation, the film industry in this world will also embark on this road.
It is clear that a single meeting will not produce results so quickly, but most people have already reached a consensus to some extent.
For the sake of the future of Chinese film culture, all kinds of chaos in the current film industry must be punished clearly.
Box office fraud is a top priority.
Although the meeting of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television was not a big meeting, it was attended by high-level officials and many well-known figures in the film industry, which still attracted the attention of the outside media.
The things discussed at the meeting were quickly inquired into by the media, and at the meeting, Tao Lao commissioned an authoritative organization to do the survey and statistics, which immediately attracted the attention of the media.
"3,000 people, 500,000 box office, about 200 per capita ticket price. ”
"Fast & Furious has been seen four times as many times as Crazy Racing, but the box office figures are not much different. ”
"Box office fraud, timely film platform serious problems. ”
This time, it was no longer the ordinary media that had no influence reporting on the matter.
Many well-known media also joined the ranks of reporting, and when the news came out, countless people suddenly exploded.
No one thought that the box office fraud of "Crazy Racing" would reach such a point of madness.
It's just too much moisture.
Even, according to the survey data on July 17, a media made a rough estimate, that is, according to the number of viewers of "Crazy Racing", the box office performance of this film on the same day will definitely not exceed 100 million.
When this speculation was reported, countless people were shocked, and the reputation of "Crazy Racing", which was okay, was completely reversed, and many people had a bad impression of this film.
The fans who were still supporting "Crazy Racing" were mostly silent at this time, except for some die-hard fans, everyone didn't expect that the movie they supported would be hyped at the box office through such means.
After the news was exposed, it seriously hit the enthusiasm of these fans.
They don't understand why the movie "Crazy Racing" is a box office fraud?
Since its release, this movie has quickly gained the support and love of many fans through its luxurious superstar lineup, gorgeous pictures, and exciting car shots.
Even if there is a jewel of "Fast and Furious" in front, it can't stop many fans from liking this film.
But now this love of theirs has been ruthlessly trampled on.
The damage caused by this can be imagined.
No one will like unscrupulous means, and no one will respect success that is not destined to appear in the sun.
Then their support seems meaningless.
After this news reached the United States, it also caused great repercussions.
The media of the United States will naturally not give up such a good opportunity, and two of the top three in the box office list of their local movies are Chinese-language films, which makes the media of the United States, which has always been proud of Hollywood, embarrassed.
The power of "Fast and Furious" has made the media lose the motivation to fight the smear.
Such a phenomenal movie is not something that they can suppress casually.
After all, they need face too.
Unless Hollywood films don't want to enter the East Asian film market in the future.
But now that such a good opportunity has suddenly appeared, and "Crazy Racing", which is ranked second, can be pulled down, and the media in the United States will naturally not give up this opportunity so easily.
A few days ago, "Crazy Racing", which was regarded as a successful model of Chinese-language films, suddenly became a street rat, and everyone shouted and beat it.
No one expected this situation.
The image of Victory Pictures fell to the bottom all of a sudden.
However, it also affected a company!
That's the Timely Movie!
Not only the timely movies of China, but also the timely movies of the United States, have been greatly affected.
Because they have the same name, at least nominally, they belong to the same company.
