Chapter 375. 【New War】
Seeing that everyone was so happy and carried away, Fat Jack felt the need to remind them, so he said, "Hi Colin, Lori, congratulations, you made it!" Now I have four or five advertisers in my hand who want to sign up with you, and yes, you are popular! ”
"But I want you to remember that you are where you are today, and that is all to whom...... If it weren't for the boss who chose you, regardless of everyone's opposition, insisted on not using big-name stars, but chose you who are not famous, then everything might not have happened now......"
Colin and Luo Li and several other actors reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank Yi Feiyang, their voices choked: "Thank you, dear director!" Without you, there would be no us! "It's a bit formal, but it's heartfelt.
"Alright, don't thank me, all of you. To be honest, this success is the result of all of us working together, not just me! Yes, God can prove that without you good actors, without you good crew members, without the high cooperation of the Finance Department, the Propaganda Department, and the Production Department, our results would not be so good! So, we all have to applaud yourselves, you are the best! ”
Yi Feiyang very skillfully boosted the morale of the big guy, and then said: "But we can't just be so happy, let alone take it lightly." There is an idiom in China that people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, which means that if we do not think far and think carefully, then we will have troubles and bad luck...... Of course, I don't want that to happen. Especially in the current situation. Will next week's episode exceed thirty percent of the ratings? It's hard to say whether the number of pre-booked customers will continue to exceed 1.9 million......
Yi Feiyang is actually quite worried in his heart, American TV series are different from movies, they are broadcast quarter by quarter, almost one episode is broadcast every week, and the broadcast period is as long as a year or even several years, and the fluctuation of ratings is completely determined by the quality of each episode, if it can't be in time for the summer vacation. If you have a solid audience base for this drama and get the share of booked customers for the next season, then things will be really troublesome, and it seems that the quality of filming needs to be greatly improved.
What, over 30?! Everyone smiled, although they were happy today, but everyone knew in their hearts that it would be good for the TV series produced by cable TV to pass 20 o'clock, but it was really like a dream for "The Walking Dead" to be able to reach 25%.
"You've all tightened the strings for me, and now is not the time to be happy. It's only the first episode. Yi Feiyang snorted and extinguished everyone's excitement.
It's a long game. And everyone understands that this year-long, if not years-long war, has just begun.
……
No matter what, Yi Feiyang, a guy who has created a miracle in the film industry, has also created a miracle in the TV industry, and "The Walking Dead" was an instant hit, which stunned everyone.
Of course, for his die-hard fans, it is not surprising that the idol can have such an achievement.
As for those who don't like Yi Feiyang, I have to admit that sometimes this kid is really lucky, and he can create miracles wherever he goes.
But for most people, I really hope that Yi Feiyang can take a break from the TV series and have a showdown with James Cameron, the last superstar in Hollywood, to see who is the "king of the world" in the director world.
As the famous American film critic Edward said: "What we are looking forward to now is not how popular "The Walking Dead" can be, nor who will lose and who will win in the battle of major films in the summer vacation, but when will China Yi's new work come out?" Also, when will the battle of the century between him and Cameron start! ”
"There is only one Hollywood in this world, and Hollywood is the film capital of the world, and here, there can only be one king, is it the old king Cameron, or the rising superstar China Yi? We are looking forward to it! ”
Regarding the news of these hypes that he and Cameron had a decisive battle, Yi Feiyang scoffed at them.
Others don't know what to do, but he knows very well that Cameron is definitely not easy to mess with, even if he defeats Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, and Spielberg in succession, but in the face of Cameron, a stunt maniac, the box office overlord in his previous life, and the king of movies in the world, Yi Feiyang still doesn't have much confidence.
Yes, it can be said that Yi Feiyang's success almost all stems from his reference to movies in his previous life, or directly plagiarism. If he really relies on his strength to fight Cameron, then the result will only be bitter.
Yi Feiyang is not a self-indulgent person, nor is he a arrogant person, so before he is completely sure, he can still avoid Cameron first, at least until he finds a good work, he doesn't want to fight Cameron.
The master has a move, and one move decides the winner.
Yi Feiyang hopes to find a chance to win.
……
With Yi Feiyang's fame soaring again with the TV series, the premiere of "Kung Fu Panda" he held for Fat Jack was also successfully held that night.
For Yi Feiyang, holding a premiere for his beloved general is a must-do for a boss. But for the fat man, he was already grateful, so he almost hugged Yi Feiyang and cried happily.
Why do you want to cry? It's really because this premiere is so grand, almost all the Hollywood superstars are there, and even the king Mike Jackson was invited over, which is a five-star treatment that many famous directors can't enjoy. Fat Jack's happiness, but what made him even more overjoyed was the arrival of Hillary, the iron lady of American politics, and her husband Clinton, not to mention Hillary, the most eye-catching female politician in American politics today, as for Clinton, she is also developing in the entertainment industry......
In short, the premiere of Fat Jack's "Kung Fu Panda" was made into an incomparably grand and grand feast by Yi Feiyang, in the business and political circles. Entertainment and media circles. Join in. makes the whole scene extremely dazzling.
As the director of the premiere, Fat Jack has risen to the sky in one step, even if this drama is not very good, it is certain that from tonight, he will become the new big director!
What's more, this play, this "Kung Fu Panda" unexpectedly attracted everyone's attention, to be precise. The exotic 3D cartoon was warmly received at its premiere.
"It's a fun-filled cartoon, and what I especially like is the Chinese kung fu in it, it's great!"
"It's amazing! God, it's really good that cartoons can be made like this! ”
"Po is very cute, and there are those knights who can do kung fu!"
All kinds of compliments are overflowing, so that the fat man Jack Black feels the glory he has not seen for the first time.
Afterwards, Jack wrote in his private diary: "I will never forget this day, with the help of my dear boss, I went from a little-unknown director." Became a big director in Hollywood! When people praise me and praise me. I will never forget who gave these glories! ”
……
After the first season of "The Walking Dead" was broadcast, because of its huge influence, the advertising fee advanced has reached an astonishing more than 10 million US dollars, and the production cost of the first season of this drama is more than 30 million, and it is expected to be able to recover the cost in the next season or so.
The animated film "Kung Fu Panda" became a hit at the box office, with a single-day box office income of more than 15 million yuan, and the weekly box office is expected to reach 105 million US dollars, directly exceeding 100 million yuan, which is also one of the best animated films ever premiered by Dream Entertainment. is enough to keep pace with the previous screenings of "Speed Snail" and "Despicable Me". As the director of this play, Fat Jack raised his eyebrows and was commented by the public media as the most potential director and the most anticipated director.
Looking back, "I Am Legend" directed by Yi Feiyang has basically been completed and will be officially released on July 15.
Due to the short filming time, many media and film critics are not very optimistic about this "fast food movie", thinking that Yi Feiyang is a little eager for quick success and quick success, and prevaricates with a fast food film in order to chase the Christmas file.
However, some people think that Yi Feiyang is gambling to see if his efficiency can create miracles.
In short, for this upcoming new film, everyone has different opinions, some say good, some say bad, just when Yi Feiyang and Vice President Dures were studying how to operate the premiere of this play, so as to break through in the summer vacation, a phone call came from New York, it was the person in charge of Apple, he told Yi Feiyang a rather unfortunate news - half of Apple's technical personnel resigned, and at the same time, Jobs announced that "Lean Army", compress the company's structure, and increase employee benefits.
It's finally here! This was Yi Feiyang's only thought, and he sighed softly.
Ever since Dream Entertainment was interested in acquiring Apple, the two sides have been constantly fighting each other, with both wins and losses. In particular, Yi Feiyang spared no cost and used hundreds of millions of dollars to vigorously support headhunters to dig into the corners of Apple with high salaries, thinking that this would make Jobs succumb, but in the end he still couldn't match the charm of Jobs.
Streamlining the administration and compressing the company?!
Yi Feiyang was very skeptical that Qiao Daxia had read Mao Taizu's military theory. But what is certain is that now the underfunded fantasy entertainment has fallen into a quagmire from which it cannot extricate itself. If he lets go at this time, then the hundreds of millions of dollars smashed into it will come to naught, and people will laugh at him Yi Feiyang's once boastful Haikou, saying that buying Apple is not a humiliation.
If you continue to entangle and don't let go, then the result can only be a lose-lose situation, even if you really buy Apple at that time, you will not be able to operate, and in the end it will be cheaper for outsiders.
In short, the current situation is that it is difficult to ride a tiger, neither advance nor retreat.
Jobs, Jobs!
What a headache for the enemy!
Yi Feiyang told Dures the news, and Dures was immediately stunned. It's hard to describe what kind of mood Dures is in, at least he has seen the technological level of Apple, which is absolutely ahead of the world, and he really thinks that there is a lot to be done.
Originally, he was still wondering why Yi Feiyang wanted to buy Apple, after all, Dream Entertainment already had Weta Digital and Google Network. However, when he saw that Yi Feiyang gradually made the talents that Apple was willing to come over, he realized that these were also top masters. Some are even stronger than the original technicians of Dream Company.
Know the way. The Apple gang is the best of the best. For computer technology, it's simply fascinating, whether they find out whether they continue to develop computers, mobile phones, or even movie special effects, it's basically very useful.
What's even more commendable is that this group of people has basically followed Jobs for so long, and they have absorbed a little aura from Jobs. Understand that "innovation" is the most important thing. And Yi Feiyang is also the most looking forward to and eagerly awaiting. To know the Dao, as a person who has come over, Yi Feiyang can of course say in detail some of the scientific and technological ideas of his previous life, but this kind of seedling promotion will not bring any benefits, on the contrary, it will bring a lot of pressure to people, and at this time, it will highlight the preciousness of innovative talents.
A person who dares to innovate can lead an era!
At this time, Jobs's words are also Yi Feiyang's motto.
Therefore, Yi Feiyang tried to retain the creativity of these people, and taught them how to do it with a point-and-click approach. First, he gathered all the people at Apple and called on them to develop a new smartphone. To be precise, it is a mobile phone with a small game, and the name of the game has a lot to do with the play that Yi Feiyang is about to release. It's called "Plants vs. Zombies"!
In fact, Jobs was also a little surprised that Yi Feiyang poached so many people in one go, because in his opinion, the deep friendship between himself and his subordinates could not be bought by money. But the truth is that money is not everything, but it is impossible without it.
The departure and exodus of employees made Jobs very sad and thought that they had betrayed him. However, he had a hint of luck, that is, Yi Feiyang couldn't take advantage of these people quickly, after all, he needed to run in, so he could take advantage of them to re-recruit talents...... No, it should be to protect the company, streamline the scale, and make her an impregnable wall that no one can break.
Jobs's plan was very good, but suddenly he didn't expect that Yi Feiyang didn't pay attention to any bullshit running-in at all, and directly gave these guys some tasks, especially the newly designed mobile game "Plants vs. Zombies", which led the way at major mobile phone new product trial meetings, and even overpowered the limelight of many mobile phone brands. Now everyone knows that as long as you can cooperate with Fantasy Entertainment and buy the mobile game copyright of "Plants vs. Zombies", you can seize a large share of the mobile phone market. For Yi Feiyang, this mobile game is definitely a treasure, and he is not willing to make a move easily.
Some people here may say that Apple can't design a better game for what kind of apple?
Don't take Apple as a myth, although Apple is very strong today, it is not the most high-tech technology company with the highest market value, especially in front of big brands such as Microsoft, it is still a little brother.
Of course, if you give Jobs a few more years, Apple will develop by leaps and bounds, such as mobile games, computer systems, and powerful and outrageous until it competes with big brands such as dell and microsoft.
The whole world knows that Steve Jobs was obsessed with computer technology, and Yi Feiyang is certainly no exception. As early as when he bought Apple, he considered killing Jobs so that Apple's people would not be pulled away, because he knew very well that Jobs was a hard bone that could not be killed, and as long as you gave him a chance, he would be able to make a comeback.
It's a pity that Yi Feiyang didn't expect that Qiao Daxia would be so difficult, and he even knew how to play strategic means, and now it was Yi Feiyang's turn to have a headache. It seems that sometimes winning and losing are not superficial things.
It's all all crammed together, what the hell! Yi Feiyang didn't have anything to say, but just told the person in charge that he must invite Jobs to Los Angeles, and he wanted to see Qiao Daxia. Temporarily dealing with this matter, which is likely to cause both sides to lose in the future, Yi Feiyang continues to think about how to solve the current movie release.
……
This year's summer vacation, almost all major companies are going all out, hoping to take advantage of the newly growing American economy to bring good luck to their film companies.
Especially for the teenage audience in the summer season, major companies have all withdrawn from what they consider to be the most competitive sci-fi films, and of course, comedy films.
Sci-fi films include "The Matrix 3", "Terminator 3", "Daredevil ", "X-Men 2". Comedies include "American Pie 3" and "The Impostor". There are also several more offbeat ones, such as "Kill Bill" and "Cold Mountain".
In the face of so many strong competitors, in addition to arranging the release of the popular "Kung Fu Panda", Dream Entertainment also has Yi Feiyang's "I Am a Legend".
On the whole, the characteristic of many movies in this summer vacation is to take the "series" route, whether it is "The Matrix", or "Terminator", of course, "X-Men" and "American Pie" are basically sequels.
In Yi Feiyang's view, the advantage of this is that the audience is very stable, there is no need to spend a lot of publicity money, and there is an irreplaceable sense of intimacy.
That's right, in fact, many big Hollywood companies are planning to do so, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to make movies, especially by the impact of online video and TV blockbusters - especially like the damn "The Walking Dead", which makes many film companies worry about the box office of big-budget movies, and in order to ensure the safety of the box office, they have to take the sequel route of blockbusters. And this has also created the reality of the lack of innovation and false prosperity of Hollywood films in front of us.
The conservative strategies of these large companies have given Yi Feiyang a headache now, and he really doesn't know how to better package and promote his films.
It seems that it is best to call the crew over to discuss it, there are many people, and they may be able to come up with good ideas. (To be continued......)
