Chapter 342: The Conspiracy of Propaganda
Seeing that Gu Xiaofan heard the news that "Chinese Partner" was accused, he suddenly cheered like this, making Chu Qiubai and Xiao Chen look stupid......
Both of them couldn't help but think that they were pregnant...... This director Gu was not overstimulated by this news and was scared of nerves...... Others sue him, and he still applauds?
Gu Xiaofan looked at the two of them looking at him with strange eyes, and then he consciously lost his temper, coughed dryly and asked, "Secretary Chen, can you show me the lawyer's letter?" ”
Secretary Xiao Chen glanced at Chu Qiubai, saw Chu Qiubai nodded, and then took out the printed lawyer's letter from the folder. [No pop-up novel network]
Gu Xiaofan took it and looked at it, couldn't help laughing, handed the letter to Chu Qiubai and said, "Mr. Chu, look at who he is suing." ”
Chu Qiubai picked up the lawyer's letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, with a look of joy in his eyes: "It seems that this is really a good thing." ”
"A good thing? Mr. Chu, what are you talking about? Xiao Chen listened to this and became more and more incomprehensible, what are Mr. Chu and Director Gu talking about? Why have you been sued, is it still a good thing?
If it's really infringement, it's hard to compensate! If it is more serious, it will even be asked to go down directly.
Chu Qiubai explained to Xiao Chen with a smile on his face: "Sue people, whether it is true or false, New Oriental can't fight with us, even if this movie is really based on the story of their founder, they can't sue us, to put it bluntly, they just want to use this matter to publicize it." ”
"Is that so?" Xiao Chen didn't figure it out, and still asked with some concern: "Then how can you tell the difference, is he a true accusation or a false accusation?" "In case people are really dizzy, they want to sue you.
"It's simple." Gu Xiaofan said next to him: "It depends on who he wants to sue, what the lawyer wants to sue in the lawyer's letter is me, Gu Xiaofan, not the art factory that distributed and produced this movie." ”
Xiao Chen is also a stupid person after all, and immediately figured out the key, yes, if New Oriental is really here to ask for compensation, why should he sue Gu Xiaofan personally? Why don't you sue the art factory or the Shanghai Film Group?
However, Xiao Chen immediately thought of the strange part of this matter, and asked suspiciously: "New Oriental is a leading enterprise of private training institutions in China, do they need to stir up news to publicize it like this?" ”
"Chinese Partner" is just a domestic movie, and the lineup is also very average, why should an industrial giant like New Oriental use this matter to hype? Aren't you afraid of losing your worth?
Chu Qiubai also looked at Gu Xiaofan, he also had this question in his heart, Gu Xiaofan's reaction just now was obviously that he had long expected New Oriental to do this, and when Gu Xiaofan wrote the script. It must have been determined that the story of "Chinese Partner" is based on the three creations of New Oriental.
The "New Dream" in the movie and the "New Oriental" in reality, aren't they deliberately reminiscent? If you want to put the relationship aside, why not switch to a more differentiated name?
This means that Gu Xiaofan knew about the alleged infringement in advance, but did not communicate with New Oriental, and it seems that all this was planned by him in advance.
Now what is puzzling is why New Oriental would cooperate with Gu Xiaofan?
Gu Xiaofan saw that both of them were looking at each other with suspicion, and hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I don't know anyone from New Oriental, I judge from the analysis of facts that they will definitely do this." ”
Saying that, Gu Xiaofan began to lay out the facts and reason: "First of all, if it is according to the status of Yu Minhong, chairman of New Oriental, in the education industry, if our movie was released last year, he would definitely not bird us, and he would be afraid that it would have something to do with our movie, but now, he will definitely hype up this incident, the reason is very simple......"
Gu Xiaofan said, to the key to it: "At the end of last year, New Oriental was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and received more than 100 million US dollars in financing, in less than a year, New Oriental has relied on this hot money to expand more than 100 teaching points across the country, and recruited more than 5,000 new employees, but at present, nearly three-quarters of the teaching points cannot recruit enough students...... Now it's summer vacation soon, and for New Oriental, they need to vigorously promote it to recruit students......
If the enrollment is not good, it will not only affect their revenue after going public this year, but more importantly, it will affect their stock price listed in the United States, and they now desperately need a good financial report to increase the market value of their company. ”
Saying this, Gu Xiaofan looked at Chu Qiubai calmly and confidently:
"So Mr. Chu, no matter whether Yu Minhong wants to get involved with us or not, their board of directors will force him to stir up this matter with us and let the media continue this topic......
And they will never really sue us, because if they really sue us, the release time of "Chinese Partner" will be shortened, and as soon as the topic is over, this excellent publicity point for them will come to an abrupt end, which is the last thing they want to see. ”
After listening to Gu Xiaofan's analysis, while Xiao Chen opened his mouth wide, Chu Qiubai was extremely surprised in his heart.
He originally thought that Gu Xiaofan was gambling, but now he understands that Gu Xiaofan is completely exhausted, and everything is under his control......
From the general situation to the psychology of New Oriental insiders, Gu Xiaofan has a clear understanding, and every detail is reasoned and well-founded, which is really too deep......
Could this be the source of Gu Xiaofan's confidence in being released in the summer? Did he calculate that New Oriental was facing huge enrollment pressure at this time and had to cooperate with him?
If so, this Gu Xiaofan is really terrifying......
"Mr. Chu, if you can rest assured of me, please let me take full responsibility for this matter." Gu Xiaofan volunteered.
"Well, then I'll leave it to you." Chu Qiubai glanced at him deeply and nodded.
Watching Gu Xiaofan go out, Xiao Chen asked Chu Qiubai with a shocked face: "Mr. Chu...... Do you think he really planned it all in advance? ”
Chu Qiubai smiled bitterly and said, "If it's a coincidence, all this is too coincidental." ”
Xiao Chen smacked his tongue again and again, muttering: "I didn't expect that we would come to the film with such a powerful character." ”
At this time, Gu Xiaofan came to the public office, turned on the computer, and prepared to write a reply letter to New Oriental.
In fact, he is not better than Chu Qiubai, but when he checked the relevant news of "Chinese Partner" in the future, he saw a lot of news related to New Oriental, which was obviously the propaganda method of the original "Chinese Partner", he was just drawing a gourd in the same way
