Chapter 174: Kunlun Ups and Downs
Before the explosion of "The Good Corpse of Qing Ben", Yang Mi Studio asked Huang Guokun to talk about cooperation in the past, and Huang Guokun talked to Yang Mi Studio about the company's next shooting plan.
He told Yang Mi Studio the outline of the company's upcoming filming of "Qingben Jiafei", and also praised Haikou, saying that he would make "Qingben Jiafei" into a real phenomenon-level online movie with an investment of 10 million yuan.
It was Huang Guokun who first proposed to use the signed artists in Yang Mi's studio in the next "Qing Ben Jia Fei", plus cash remuneration, in exchange for Yang Mi's studio's publicity support plan.
But at that time, Yang Mi's studio was completely dismissive of Kunlun Culture's future shooting plans.
They didn't pay much attention to the online movie market.
directly gave Huang Guokun's plan no.
After the explosion of "Qingben's Good Corpse", Yang Mi's studio really paid attention to Kunlun Culture's "Qingben" movie series development plan.
As long as Kunlun Culture promises in writing to enable the newcomer of Yang Mi Studio, that is, Di Lidal to be the heroine of "Qing Ben Jia Fei", and give the heroine box office dividends, their studio will vigorously promote Kunlun Culture's "Qing Ben" series, not only to promote "Qing Ben Jia Corpse", but also to promote Kunlun Culture's "Qing Ben Jia Concubine" later.
This is a cooperation project for Yang Mi Studio to kill two birds with one stone, not only can earn a lot of box office income with "Qing Ben Jiafei", but also vigorously promote their newcomer Di Lidal.
After Yang Mi's studio proposed the cooperation plan, Huang Guokun and the Kunlun culture team repeatedly met to discuss the project.
Everyone thinks that if this cooperation can be reached with Yang Mi Studio, it will not only greatly increase the popularity of "Qing Ben Jia Corpse", but also ensure that this "Qing Ben Jia Fei" will have a higher degree of attention.
Yang Mi's studio has had a very successful experience of popularizing minority beauty newcomers, namely Reba.
With Reba's popularity, Di Lidal may also be able to make a splash and bring unexpected good results to their new movie.
Looking at the information, Di Lidal is a beautiful newcomer in the Western Regions who is not weaker than Reba, which is just in line with the original script character of "Concubine Qingben".
In the original conception of the Kunlun team, the heroine of "Qing Ben Jia Fei" was a ghost concubine from the Western Regions, but Huang Guokun wanted to train the company's queen heroine Marco, and the script was changed to the ghost concubine of the Central Plains.
The script team believes that if Di Lidal can be used, the story of "Concubine Qingben" will be more complete.
But doing so would hurt Mark's interests.
After weighing it again and again, Huang Guokun finally made a decision to promote the cooperation with Yang Mi's studio.
Later, under the vigorous publicity of Yang Mi's studio, the box office popularity of "The Good Corpse" reached a higher level, dominating the online world for more than three consecutive months, and the whole network collected 41 million box office, doubling the previous single-film box office record of the online movie.
Such a performance made Kunlun Culture's revenue that year exceed 25 million to a record! Kunlun Culture can finally live without relying on the blood transfusion of Old Man Huang's company.
The popularity of "The Good Corpse" has also spread from the online world to the big film market, and the extended cut version of "The Good Corpse" was successfully released in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, where it was filmed, and it has also achieved good results, giving Kunlun Culture an additional unplanned income of nearly one million US dollars.
Not only that, "The Good Corpse" also helped Kunlun Culture's emerging music planning department achieve exciting results.
After Kunlun Culture cooperated with Yang Mi Studio, they successfully filmed the bigger "Qing Ben Jia Fei", relying on the brain-opening palace supernatural drama mode, and excellent scripts and special effects, it once again achieved good box office results on the Internet.
Although "Qing Ben Jia Fei" failed to break through the 41 million super high box office of "Qing Ben Jia Corpse", it still achieved a super high box office of 28 million and won the runner-up in the 2018 China Internet Movie Box Office List.
This film became popular with Di Lidal as scheduled, and also reshaped the image of Kunlun Culture's gold medal company in the online film industry, and established Kunlun Culture's leading position in the online movie industry.
During this period, the development of the music planning department of Kunlun culture is also very good, as a phenomenal cross-border female singer, Bai Yao is outstanding, and many new and old singers signed by the company have blossomed more by relying on Huang Guolun's "posthumous works", setting off a small boom in the Chinese music scene.
Seeing that the Kunlun culture is about to bloom twice, the wings are flying together.
In the autumn of '18, there was a huge upheaval in their company, and it was like a roller coaster, rushing straight from the top to the bottom.
The culprit of this turmoil is the female No. 1 Marco who has been praised by Kunlun culture.
At the beginning, "Concubine Qingbenjia" changed the role of Di Lidar, Huang Guokun appeased Marco and promised to give her a better role in the future.
But Marco soared to the sky with "The Good Corpse" at that time and won the most important award for Best Actress of the Year in the Internet industry, which was the time when he had the highest spirit and wanted to take a step closer.
At this time, the company replaced the heroine of the larger production of "Concubine Qingben", which had been promised a long time ago, with an outsider, which made Marco feel a very big mustard in his heart.
There is a kind of person in this world who is not enough to take advantage, but it is absolutely not okay to suffer a loss.
Marco was such a man.
Huang Guokun has cultivated her for so many years, and he is very kind to her, and he really relied on "Qing Ben Jia Corpse" to make her popular.
But just because the role of "Concubine Qingben" was not given to her, Marco and Huang Guokun got married.
In order to compensate Marco, Kunlun Culture started filming "Concubine Qingben" at the same time, and tailored a new series of urban fantasy movies "Urban Swordsman" for Marco, hoping to help Marco continue his popularity.
But in Marco's view, the company's move is to take advantage of her fire to make more money on her.
Kunlun Culture is not a large company with strong capital and talent reserves, and Huang Guokun did not listen to the persuasion of the high-level team, and insisted on devoting a lot of manpower and material resources to the development of the music planning department for the sake of Huang Guolun's legacy.
At this time, Kunlun Culture has to shoot two movies at the same time, focusing on "Concubine Qingben", and the filming of "Urban Swordsman" will definitely not be enough.
The final result of "Urban Swordswoman" was also very unsatisfactory.
This film invested 3 million, but in the end, it didn't even rush to the box office of 800,000.
Marco's enthusiasm was severely frustrated, and she sent herself a song "Cool and Cool", and she was about to part ways with Kunlun culture.
When "The Good Corpse" exploded, Wanshi Pictures, a giant company in the domestic film industry, was very optimistic about Marco's future and once threw an olive branch to Marco.
At that time, Marco was still in the dark, thinking that he would continue to star in "Concubine Qingbenjia", which would make her go to the next level, so he politely refused the invitation of Wanshi Pictures.
After "Urban Swordswoman" was cold, Marco's heart for Kunlun culture was also cold.
She later took the initiative to find Wanshi Pictures, hoping to join Wanshi Pictures.
But this time and that time.
When you were the hottest, you rejected the invitation of a big company like Wanshi Pictures, and now you are going to be cold, and you are begging to join Wanshi Pictures, of course, Wanshi Pictures will not easily give Marco this opportunity.
In order to join Wanshi Pictures, Marco presented his name to Wanshi Pictures - privately persuaded several core backbones of the Kunlun Culture Film Team to jump to Wanshi Pictures together.
These include Kunlun Culture's artistic director Yuan Master Yuan Zhiyu, and the award-winning young director Li Zhe, who has made a name for himself in the industry in the filming of the "Qing Ben" series, and several of the most competitive talents who have struggled in Kunlun Culture for many years.
The reason why these filmmakers jumped ship together is that in addition to Wanshi Pictures can provide them with a broader development platform, Huang Guokun's insistence on dividing half of the company's strength to vigorously develop the music planning department is also directly related.
They all felt that the development of Kunlun culture was not as good as they expected.
Good birds choose trees to perch on, who doesn't want to climb on the high branches.
Not everyone in this world is as affectionate and righteous as Huang Guokun.
Master Yuan and the people in the core team eventually jumped to Wanshi Pictures.
The blood of Kunlun culture was drained out at once, which dealt a great blow to Huang Guokun and Kunlun culture.
There was something even more bloody later.
Wanshi Pictures not only fell in love with the core team of the "Qing Ben" series, but their boss also fell in love with Di Lidal because of Di Lida's amazing performance in "Qing Ben Jia Concubine"!
Wanshi Pictures later pried Di Lidal away from Yang Mi's studio!
This kind of pry in private is taboo in the circle and will cause public anger.
In order to divert the artillery fire, Wanshi Pictures asked the "Qingben" team to give them another name - the blame for digging Di Lidal was transferred to Kunlun Culture.
They made Yang Mi's studio think that Kunlun Culture had made a lot of small moves in private to dig Di Lidar, and Di Lidar had a stalemate with Yang Mi Studio because of Kunlun Culture.
After Wanshi Pictures paid a lot of money to terminate the contract between Di Lidal and Yang Mi Studio, people thought that Di Lidar was going to sign a contract with Kunlun Culture.
At this time, Wanshi Pictures came out to cut off the beard, claiming to be angry for Yang Mi's studio, and snatched Dilidar from Kunlun Culture to Wanshi Pictures, and even poached Wanshi Pictures with the core team of "Qing Ben".
People in the circle who don't know what to do think think that Wanshi Pictures is fighting with a sword, and tearing up Kunlun Culture, a small company with unclean hands and feet, for Yang Mi's studio.
This incident immediately made the reputation of Kunlun culture in the circle stink.
Kunlun Culture now wants to find reliable companies and studios to cooperate, and no one is willing to cooperate with them.
Yang Mi also thought that this was Kunlun Culture crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to do something, and she was angry and scolded Huang Guokun in the circle for being despicable!
Huang Guokun became the target of public criticism at that time, and even the most iron-clad buddies Bao Bell and his family didn't dare to come out to stand in line for him.
The small ship of Kunlun Culture was sunk by Wanshi Pictures, a giant aircraft carrier in the film industry, and has never recovered since.
It wasn't until the end of last year, more than a year after this incident, that Yang Mi's studio knew that they were all played by Wanshi Pictures.
In the face of Wanshi Pictures, which has a big business and a big power, Yang Mi's studio also has hardships and grievances.
It's been so long since this happened, Yang Mi's studio can only put this beam on the account and stop there.
Kunlun culture has completely sunk because of this.
Yang Mi mistakenly blamed Huang Guokun, who frantically suppressed Kunlun culture in the circle, and was particularly reluctant to go.
At the beginning of this year, Yang Mi specially invited Huang Guokun to her private residence, apologized to Huang Guokun with remorse, and promised to help Kunlun culture make a comeback.
The reason why a smart person like Yang Mi wants to pull Huang Guokun is not only because she owes Huang Guokun.
If Huang Guokun is an ordinary person, she owes Huang Guokun what she owes, anyway, things are like this, she wants to make up for it to no avail, and it would be good to have the opportunity to repay Huang Guokun a big favor in the future, she doesn't need to invite Huang Guokun to her home so ceremoniously and apologize to Huang Guokun with a handful of snot and tears.
The reason why Yang Mi did this was because Huang Guokun was not an ordinary person.
In recent years, Mr. Huang has made his company the No. 1 cemetery tycoon in the cemetery and cemetery industry in Beijing, and is known as the No.1 cemetery tycoon in Beijing.
Wanshi Pictures is powerful, dare not hang the Huang family, Yang Mi does not have this confidence.
A woman like Yang Mi, who is exquisite, and handles many relationships in all aspects, must not let Huang Guokun, the second generation of the super tomb, hold a grudge.
So she invited Huang Guokun to drink a lot of wine with a sincere and sincere attitude, chatted about the kindness of the past when she went to school all night, and also accompanied her all night, and finally dissolved this Liang Zi and Huang Guokun with tears.
To be honest, Huang Guolun has nothing to complain about Yang Mi.
Although Yang Mi's studio has frantically suppressed their Kunlun culture when the rights and wrongs are unknown.
But to put it mildly, his subordinates Master Yuan, Li Zhe, and Ma Ke played a very bad role in the incident of Dilidar's job-hopping, and spread a lot of demagogic news. If it weren't for their group of people, Dilidar wouldn't necessarily have jumped to Wanshi Pictures.
These subordinates have made mistakes, and he, the boss, should take the blame for these bastards.
He can hate Marco, Master Yuan, and others.
should hate and snipe Kunlun Culture's Wanshi Pictures.
But Yang Mi's studio, which is also the victim party, asked him to hold him accountable, Huang Guokun had nothing to shirk, he was willing to admit punishment and accept punishment.
That's how he behaves as the boss.
Huang Guokun has been immersed in the circle for so many years, and he still retains the precious qualities of his school days, which particularly impresses Yang Mi.
After seeing through all kinds of men in this circle, Yang Mi really felt that Huang Guokun was a big brother worthy of deep friendship.
If it weren't for Huang Guokun's poor mix in the circle and his ability was seriously limited, Yang Mi, who had always been single, might have fallen in love with Huang Guokun that night.
Yang Mi was really determined to help Huang Guokun make a comeback that day.
But after the core team of Kunlun Culture Film and Television Department fell apart, it fell too completely, and it couldn't be slowed down for a while.
Yang Mi wants to help Huang Guokun now, but she can't help it, and she can't say anything.
When the Kunlun Culture Film and Television Department will rise again, Yang Mi will definitely help Kunlun Culture.
