Chapter 468: Wrestling
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
At CJ Entertainment's high-level regular meeting, Park Geun-tae threw the report on the conference table with an unpredictable expression on his face, "Fans gathered outside the CGV theater to protest the film schedule, you really did it, and you quietly made CGV Theater famous in front of the national audience!" ”
Sometimes the more the storm comes, the more calm everything seems, although Park Geun-tae didn't say anything, but looking at the expressions of the subordinates around him, he can see that they are also beating drums in their hearts, and the cold sweat on the foreheads of several parties is about to flow down.
"Early this morning, the partners of Hong Kong Golden Harvest and Weixiu Entertainment called my mobile phone, questioning the spontaneous protests of domestic fans, are you handing over this answer sheet to me? Or do you really think that CGV Cinemas is a tool for your struggle, and you don't want to lose face at all? As he spoke, Park Geun-tae banged on the table, and at the end of the day, he slapped the table, and the loud sound made everyone in the conference room sweat coldly.
CJ Entertainment's CGV Cinema Line is not a wholly-owned cinema chain of CJ Entertainment Group, and it can be seen from the three letters CGV alone that this is a cinema chain with transnational pedigree, C naturally stands for CJ Entertainment, while G is Hong Kong's Golden Harvest Entertainment Group, and V is a multimedia theater jointly created by the three major companies of Australia's Village RoadshoNot to mention some small actions that CJ Entertainment relies on CGV theaters on weekdays, just this time the movie "Monster of the Han River" directed by Bong Joon-ho has such a strong reputation, and the number of viewers has broken the record of the highest number of viewers in a single museum, which can be seen in the potential of this movie, but some people actually make small moves at such a time, how can Golden Harvest Entertainment and Weixiu Entertainment watch it.
Counting the movies with more than 3 million viewers in South Korea last year, JHJ Entertainment can occupy a few seats, at this time "Monster of the Han River" is coming, and watching this momentum is bound to rush to 5 million viewers. It's no wonder that Park Geun-tae was so angry early in the morning, as the CEO of CJ Entertainment, who was in charge of the overall entertainment industry, Park Geun-tae almost felt like he was leading a bunch of pig teammates in battle.
"Let's talk about it, this is the plan that was decided this time?" Park Geun-tae said that he looked around for a week, but no one dared to speak first, "You don't say yes, do you?" Or do you think I really didn't find out? ”
"Yes, yes...... It's me! A man stood up tremblingly, and Lee Sung-in, who is currently in charge of CJ Entertainment's TVN cable channel business, stepped forward, a handkerchief constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and holding the table with his hands as if he would fall down if he didn't pay attention at all.
Park Geun-tae's eyes narrowed slightly before he said, "Oh? Minister Lee? I remember you were in charge of the CGV cinema business, right? Why is there still so much energy when you are transferred to the TVN cable channel department now, and I really underestimate you! ”
"No, it's not like that!" Lee Sung-in hurriedly opened his mouth to explain after hearing Park Geun-tae's words.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
CJ Entertainment Group, as a giant aircraft carrier in the Korean entertainment industry, is far from being the kind of small company with only a few dozen people, and the internal relationships within the group can be said to be intertwined, and the infighting between the company's departments is actually very fierce. Even the relationship left behind after the transfer is even more complicated.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
……………………………………………………
"We apologize for CGV Cinemas' mistake in scheduling "Monster of the Han River" today, but this problem is purely a mistake in the experience and judgment of the theater manager, and as a representative of domestic cinemas, CGV Cinemas has always repaid the love of fans with the best service and attitude, and CJ Entertainment and CGV Cinemas will continue to escort the Korean film industry and do a good job as industry leaders."
When CJ Entertainment's statement was issued, the direction of media opinion suddenly changed, and the major CGV theaters successively added the film schedule of "Monster of the Han River", and the voices from fans became smaller and smaller, and I have to admit that CJ Entertainment's response and action were so fast this time.
"President, do you still need to keep up with the follow-up publicity?" The assistant stood aside and looked at Zheng Hyukzai's face, and said with some hesitation.
To be reasonable, for the sake of this public opinion publicity, it can be said that JHJ Entertainment has made full preparations, and from the very beginning put itself in the position of the victim, first buying a wave of misery in front of fans and audiences, and then the publicity to keep up, and then finding a wave of people to gather in front of the CGV theater to protest, and by the way, bribing the media to speak for themselves, forcing CJ Entertainment to face it head-on.
It's a pity that CJ Entertainment's power in the entertainment industry is too great, and the media public opinion has flipped around almost instantly, and it has pushed the problem of scheduling films on the temporary 'theater manager', which is enough to deceive the audience who don't understand, but how can you hide it from insiders, a theater manager has made a mistake in judgment, can it be said that dozens of CGV theater managers in China have made a mistake in judgment?
"Withdraw it, now the initiative is no longer in our hands." Jung Hyuk-jae put down the statement of CGV Cinema in his hand and said with a smile.
Although he was not able to successfully snipe CJ Entertainment this time, Jung Hyuk-jae did not look frustrated at all, and CJ Entertainment, as the leader of the domestic entertainment industry in South Korea, would be big news if it was really embarrassed by such small tricks. However, although it failed to take more advantage from CJ Entertainment, at least JHJ Entertainment made a big splash among domestic audiences and fans this time, and a wave of miserable sales made more audiences know about JHJ Entertainment's JHJ Cinema Line, which can be regarded as tearing off a piece of meat from CGV Cinema Line, which is not much, but it is enough for JHJ Cinema to develop in a wave.
The current situation between JHJ Entertainment and CJ Entertainment is like fighting a battle, CJ Entertainment clearly knows that JHJ is developing troops and accumulating economy, preparing for a wave of gank in the later stage, but it can't find a place to put its mouth for a while, but JHJ has a tooth broken out.
"That's fun!" Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but laugh.
