Chapter 205: Reactions from all sides

Modu Film Group, chairman and president Ren Chonglun is convening a meeting of various departments, and the object of discussion is Li Mu, who has just made a big move.

"The situation is already clear, so what should we do now, do we stick to the previous propaganda strategy or turn the gun around?" said Ren Zhongyi, looking at the crowd below.

"Chairman, I still decided that we should stick to the previous plan, after all, it has been going on for so long, if we suddenly support Li Mu's side, what will outsiders think of us!"

"I agree, Ren Dong, there is no action on Huaying's side now, this little storm is nothing to them, I'm afraid I will lift a stone and hit myself in the foot!"

"Agreed!"

"I agree!"

Several people echoed it one after another, supporting the continuation of "Thai Embarrassment".

However, there was support and opposition, and immediately some people put forward different views.

"Ren Dong, I have a box office statistics here, as of 1 o'clock in the afternoon, "Avatar" won 14 million box office with 36% of the scheduled films, "Thai Embarrassment" won 9 million box office with 26% of the scheduled films, and our "Jin Yiwei" has the least film schedule, only 24 percent, and the box office is also the least, only 6 million. ”

Everyone didn't know what he meant by reporting the box office data at this time, but Ren Zhongzhi seemed to understand a little, "Go on!"

"From this data, it is obvious that our "Jinyiwei" has the lowest attendance rate, and the theater chain will also take us as soon as possible, but "Thai Embarrassment", which has been released for 12 days, is currently very stable, and it is obviously a potential stock, no matter how much we attack, it is basically useless, after all, the word of mouth has long spread, and it is unrealistic to want to cut out some films from it!"

Ren Zhongzhi is somewhat clear, "You mean we can only snatch food from the mouth of "Avatar"?"

"That's right!" the man nodded and continued, ""Avatar has a fatal weakness, that is, the time is too long, one movie is equivalent to the time of two ordinary movies, and in the case of the same attendance, the theater chain will definitely cut its schedule first!"

Listening to his analysis, everyone felt that it made sense, one was that the two factions were arguing, and no one could convince anyone, and the conference room was getting more and more noisy.

Looking at the messy conference room, Ren Zhong coughed heavily, interrupting their argument, "Does anyone have any other opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads, everything that should have been said was said, and now it was up to him to decide.

"Then let's do it, wait for today's box office to come out before deciding, but the publicity department must prepare in advance, and don't worry about the pressure from Huaying!"

At the high-level meeting of China Film Group, the heads of various departments of China's largest official film company complained with righteous indignation about everything Li Mu had done.

"This Li Mu is simply bold and reckless, he dares to attack us!"

"That's it, if you don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think he's a character!"

"That's right, you have to give him something to try!"

"He must be banned, so that "Thai Embarrassment" is forced to draw, and "The Return of the Great Sage" must also be banned!"

……

Han Sanping sat on the first place, watching all this coldly.

Like most state-owned enterprises, these people are just thinking about the money in their pockets.

That's right, the huge amount of distribution costs of "Avatar" has been divided up by these people before it comes out.

How much to hand over, how much to withhold by various departments, of course, there is also the share that belongs to him Han Sanping.

There is no way to do this, in this circle you can only be assimilated by others, and it is impossible to try to break the original rules by yourself.

However, he always has a desire to contribute to Chinese films in his heart.

"Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Casting a Name" are more or less promoted by him behind these blockbusters.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" did not inspire the idea of the Chinese film market, although the results were unsatisfactory, and the box office made a breakthrough, but the entire film market did not expand significantly, and it was surpassed by "Transformers 2" and "2012" in less than half a year.

The sudden rise of "Thai Embarrassment" gave him a glimmer of hope, but when he thought of the release of "Avatar", this only glimmer of hope disappeared.

However, with Li Mu's movements, he kindled a glimmer of hope again.

"In this way, the propaganda department immediately made a response plan, and everyone came to the door, if we don't respond, it will become a joke!" Han Sanping, who had been thinking for a long time, made a decision.

However, he added, "However, everything must be according to the rules, and it must not be too out of line!"

As he said the last sentence, his eyes swept sharply over the few people sitting below, and the smell of warning was self-evident.

These people used to suppress their competitors through extraordinary means, and the movies released at the same time were not once or twice, they used to turn a blind eye to the face of the people behind them, and they were absolutely not allowed to make trouble at this critical moment.

Hearing Han Sanping's words, although the people below were unwilling, they still didn't dare to make any small moves in private.

Although Huaying has been very peaceful in recent years, and there have been no large-scale personnel changes, no one can forget that when he took office, he changed the middle level of the group, and the general manager and vice chairman at that time also stepped down, and his strength can be seen.

However, even if they can't use off-board moves, as the largest film and television group in China, their publicity power and connections are by no means comparable to ordinary people, and it is not a piece of cake to deal with a small Tianmu studio.

……

The same thing happened with Huaxia Film Distribution Company.

"Mr. Fu, Huaying has replied!" a subordinate reported to Ren Zhongyi.

Fu Ruoqing said, "What did they say!"

The subordinate said, "You can only use conventional means, and you are not allowed to cross the line!"

Although it had been expected for a long time, Fu Ruoqing still had a gloomy face.

The subordinate cautiously suggested, "Why don't you talk to Han Sanping in person?"

Fu Ruoqing shook his head, "It's useless, he Han Sanping is determined to set up an archway, for him, political achievements are much more important than money, as long as "Avatar" is suppressed by domestic films this time, and world-class directors are suppressed by our Chinese directors, then the credit will be his, and the prosperity of the domestic film market also depends on him, unlike us, he is a politician first!"

Fu Ruoqing said again: "But we can't sit still, he doesn't care about this money, but we are different, and it is not known who will kill the deer, no matter how much it costs, we must minimize the negative evaluation on the Internet, and you go to contact Fox and ask them for help!"
