Chapter 1250: Punishment
Since the birth of the Internet, everyone has been aware of the online world.
However, what the Internet has really changed in social life is the mobile phone network.
After the emergence of Maoyan Movie, a mobile mobile software, it has completely changed the viewing habits of countless young people who pursue popular fashion.
Yang Ming's Maoyan movie was an instant hit, and with his vigorous promotion of money, it soon became the mainstream choice for countless fans around the world to buy movie tickets from the Internet.
Even if the timely movie jointly established by several Hollywood giants paid a lot of money to promote this mobile software application, in the face of Maoyan Movies preemptively establishing a deep-rooted influence in the hearts of fans, it did not pose much threat to Maoyan Movies at all.
At present, Maoyan Movies still occupies at least 60% of the share of movie ticket online e-commerce.
And Timely Movies and several other movie ticketing online platforms share the remaining 40% of the share, of which Timely Movies almost accounts for 20%, which is three times different from Maoyan Movies.
This is still based on the fact that timely films do not hesitate to use various ticket price subsidies, and once the subsidies are canceled, it is estimated that the share will shrink a lot.
But no matter what, Timely Movies has become the world's second largest Internet movie ticketing platform.
But now Huaxia has revealed that "Crazy Racing" used timely movies to fake the box office, which not only condemned Victory Pictures by public opinion, but also caused timely films to fall into various negative news, and the timely film headquarters in the United States was also affected.
Hollywood era, 19th century, and Le Qimei, the three giants who chose to join Maoyan Films, naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity.
They immediately began to disseminate news and messages through the media that were unfavorable to timely films.
Bobble also made a lot of effort behind the scenes.
Although the film is divided into Europe, China, and China, there is no direct business connection between the three branches, but who calls these three companies the same company in the eyes of others?
Now Huaxia's timely movies have been exposed to negative news, and through negative news, foreign media have found that it is simply too convenient to do some tricks at the box office through timely movies, and it will hardly be discovered.
In particular, Huaxia Shengli Pictures' unscrupulous fraud at the box office through the timely film platform also surprised foreign media.
It's crazy.
A film that is impossible to break 100 million at the box office in a single day, through timely movie box office fraud, can not only break 100 million, but also make the box office performance skyrocket, this timely movie is too big a loophole.
After the negative news on the side of Huaxia Timely Movie reached the United States, under the hype of the media, countless people's impression of Timely Movie was much worse.
Everyone has serious doubts about the box office statistics generated by timely films.
This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the image of the timely film.
Dimei Pictures was furious when he saw this situation in Hollywood, and Harrison made a phone call to Huaxia and scolded him fiercely to calm the anger in his heart a little.
Xiao Bufan's stupidity almost aborted his plan, how could he not be furious.
With the passage of time, the advent of the Internet era of movie ticketing has become the consensus of everyone in Hollywood.
Although the timely film was established late, it was temporarily unable to catch up with the pace of Maoyan Film.
But Harrison is extremely confident that as long as he is given a period of time to develop timely films, the gap between him and Cat's Eye films will be narrowed in a very short time.
But at such an important time, the timely movie over there in Huaxia was exposed to such serious negative news, how could he not teach him to be angry.
The previous efforts and dedication almost broke the contract, no matter who it was, it would be the same as Harrison.
The image of the movie in the United States, because of the media hype, has completely fallen into the shadow of being questioned by countless fans, and Harrison can only be busy putting out fires everywhere now, and then go back to Huaxia to settle accounts.
Chinese.
From a meeting of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, the authoritative organization's statistics on the number of moviegoers of the two films that are currently being screened have become ironclad evidence that Shengli Pictures is falsifying the box office.
After media exposure and news reports, Victory Pictures and "Crazy Racing" were completely ruined.
But even so, the box office results of "Crazy Racing" still did not plummet.
108 million Chinese dollars.
According to the latest single-day box office statistics, "Crazy Racing" still maintains a level of breaking 100 million.
When the entertainment industry saw this data, everyone was taken aback, this Shengli Pictures is probably crazy, and now everyone outside already knows that there is a lot of moisture in the box office results of the film "Crazy Racing".
But even so, Victory Pictures still committed crimes against the wind.
But there are also many people who see this statistic and can't help but admire the courage and audacity of Victory Pictures.
They couldn't help but think of the image of Zhao Jianfeng in their minds.
This person is not simple!
In any case, Victory Pictures is one of the giants at the pinnacle of the Chinese film industry.
As a movie giant, they naturally have their own pride and dignity, even if a scandal such as box office fraud is now exposed, but this kind of thing doesn't break the law, right?
Although there are data investigated by authoritative institutions that are enough to prove the ironclad evidence of Victory Pictures' box office fraud, such 'ironclad evidence' is destined to never appear in court.
Even if everyone in the world knows that Victory Pictures was stripped naked and exposed to the sun for box office fraud this time, just like the emperor's new clothes, Victory Pictures can be ignored, and the government can't punish Victory Pictures for this, right?
Now even if the media hypes up the news of Victory Pictures' box office fraud, Victory Pictures just doesn't admit it, and still keeps the box office of "Crazy Racing" above 100 million yuan, and uses this emperor's new clothes to tell everyone that there is no problem with the box office of "Crazy Racing".
Maybe this way of covering one's ears and stealing the bell makes people feel that Victory Pictures is stupid.
But this approach also tells everyone in another way, Victory Pictures did just that, so what? Haven't other studios done this kind of thing?
Zhao Jianfeng's tough way of dealing with him also made many people in the circle look at him differently.
Judging from the reaction of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau and the Film Association this time, no matter how Victory Pictures publicizes, this box office fraud will definitely be regarded as a typical example and cannot escape punishment.
In that case, why bother to admit it?
Regardless of whether you admit to apology or not, punishment is unavoidable, so simply stick to it.
The Bureau of Radio, Film and Television and the Film Association can't let Victory Pictures close down!
Zhao Jianfeng's tough approach made him win the sigh of many people in the circle, and at the same time deepened his impression of this 'newcomer' young man in the film industry.
The results of the penalties imposed by the Radio, Film and Television Bureau and the Film Association were not long in coming.
According to the relevant management regulations of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television and the Film Association, the distribution company of "Crazy Racing" Victory Pictures will appear in the official blacklist announcement, and in the future, all films released by Victory Pictures will be repeatedly reviewed for release qualifications, and in addition, the box office statistics qualification will be banned from the film platform in a timely manner! ”
When the news came out, the entire entertainment industry was a sensation.
This penalty is arguably the most severe penalty decision ever made for box office fraud.
In the past, even if the box office fraud was caught excessively, those so-called punishment decisions were basically just coping, and it was absolutely impossible to be so serious.
The official blacklist not only dealt a serious blow to the image of Victory Pictures, but this is not bad, and it can be saved a little bit through a lot of publicity in the future.
But the punishment of repeatedly reviewing the film's release qualifications is a bit fatal.
As for the final timely film platform being banned from box office statistics, in the eyes of many film companies, it almost does not have much influence and is not taken to heart by them. 、
Victory Pictures.
Zhao Jianfeng knew about this punishment decision in the first time.
As soon as this punishment decision came out, the internal official who was familiar with the Zhao family told him the news.
He stood in the office, clenching his teeth, this punishment had too much impact on Victory Pictures.
In particular, the repeated review of the film's release qualifications is simply a fatal blow to Victory Pictures.
In this way, it takes several times longer for every film shot by Victory Pictures to get a release permit, and the film rating will definitely be greatly affected.
For film companies, a difference in film rating by one grade will affect the film company's hundreds of millions of box office revenue.
This is simply an unbearable burden for Victory Pictures!
Yes, the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television and the Film Association cannot replace the courts with any law to punish the marginal box office fraud of Shengli Pictures, but they also have their own methods to combat this kind of behavior, but they have never used it before.
He really didn't expect that this time the Radio, Film and Television Bureau and the Film Association would take such a heavy action and use such severe means to crack down on box office fraud.
Zhao Jianfeng just heard this punishment decision, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of resentment in his heart, and couldn't help but want to let the family put pressure on the government and take this punishment back.
But he thought about it for a moment and could only retract the idea.
Box office fraud has become an open secret in the film industry, and it has been repeatedly banned, precisely because the film industry has special rules to play.
Relatively speaking, the law does not control this.
Even if the family comes forward to exert pressure, it will not have much effect.
The Bureau of Radio, Film and Television may be better, but after all, the Film Association is only a semi-official organization, and it is not threatened by the government at all, and the members in it are a bunch of old men who are more stinky than the stones of the pit pit.
Maybe in the end, things will only get bigger and won't end up.
But in any case, this penalty decision is still too heavy.
Zhao Jianfeng closed his eyes helplessly, it seems that he is going to the Radio and Television Bureau, as well as the Film Association, it is okay to repeat the review of one or two films, but after a long time, Shengli Pictures may really cross over.
After making this decision in his heart, he thought about it for a while, then picked up his mobile phone and made a call to his father, hoping that the family could arrange it.
After making the call, he put down his mobile phone, and he couldn't help but remember that when Xiao Bufan said that box office fraud was a big deal in the film industry, the nameless fire in his heart burned more and more.
He can't wait to have a gun in his hand now, and kill Xiao Bufan with one shot.
The punishment decision of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau and the Film Association this time is simply to win the life of the film industry, can this still be called a 'big deal'?
He really wanted to spit out Xiao Bufan's face and let this girl solve this problem now.
It's okay not to want Xiao Bufan, but when he thinks of Xiao Bufan, Zhao Jianfeng is angry, because this guy doesn't know where to hide!
When Zhao Jianfeng contacted the Radio, Film and Television Bureau and the Film Association through his family, hoping to get through the relationship in person and shorten the review time in the punishment as much as possible, Yang Ming met with several high-level executives of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau and the Film Association one step ahead of him.
In a conference room in the office building where the Ministry of Culture is located.
This room is larger, with a similar setup to the auditorium, but much smaller.
Dozens of people sat inside.
Minister Guo, Zheng Liqiang, Tao Lao and others were all there, several high-level executives of the Ministry of Culture, several high-level executives of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television and the Film Association also attended at the same time, in addition to many well-known directors in the film and television industry, as well as several CEOs of film and television production business.
Yang Ming and Mo Xiaohua, the two directors of Oriental DreamWorks, are also included.
"Director Yang, why did the above call us over this time?" Mo Xiaohua asked Yang Ming quietly, he knew that his boss had a deep friendship with Minister Guo, and he must know some inside information, so he couldn't wait to ask.
Hearing Mo Xiaohua's question, Yang Ming stretched out his finger and pointed to the banner hanging in this conference room, "Just look at this." ”
-- "Symposium on Chinese Film and Television Production and Dissemination of Chinese History and Culture".
Mo Xiaohua looked up and saw this banner, after he entered the conference room, he didn't look at the banner that had been hung at all, he had never been interested in this kind of formalism.
If it hadn't been for the Ministry of Culture's special roll call this time, he would not have come to this meeting at all.
Just as he was about to speak, Minister Guo coughed lightly, and the meeting began.
"Today, I will gather everyone here to make this exchange meeting, mainly to discuss how our local Chinese TV drama business can better spread the traditional Chinese culture, everyone here is a well-known director and boss in the film and television industry, if there is anything to say, you can directly put it forward for everyone to communicate. ”
Minister Guo did not go into a long speech, but went straight to the point and stated the purpose and theme of today's meeting.
However, the bosses and directors in the film and television industry present did not take it seriously, but Yang Ming understood why Minister Guo held this meeting today.
Minister Guo also had a breath with him before.
A few years ago, the Ministry of Culture formulated a strategy for using the entertainment and cultural industry for cultural export, and it can be said that except for a few TV dramas that performed quite well, the results of other TV dramas overseas were average, which made the top management quite annoyed.
So this time, the Ministry of Culture specially organized this exchange meeting, bringing together several well-known companies in the circle with TV drama business, hoping that they can attach importance to this matter and come up with classic film and television works as soon as possible, so that the high-level can see the importance of film and television cultural output.
"Here, I would like to praise two TV series by name, Oriental DreamWorks' "Winter Love Song" and Green Sky's "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu"!" said Minister Guo.
