Chapter 320: "Infernal Affairs" is finalized
"Mr. Xu, the popularity of our ancient puppet drama this time and the new broadcast volume yesterday have dropped to the lowest level since the start of the broadcast!" Penguin video, in the president's office, Bi Feihong, who seemed startled, made Xu Sheng feel a little headache.
Do you still use him to report this situation? Will you not know? This Bi Feihong is really useless at all.
Let him keep paying attention to the situation on the side of "Parents' Love", but the news is not yet well-informed. Even if you look at Weite a little more, it won't be like this.
"I already know." Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Bi Feihong subconsciously asked, "Mr. Xu, what should I do now?" Xu Sheng finally couldn't help but burst out, and shouted loudly at Bi Feihong: "What should I do, what should I do?" ”
"What can I do?" Bi Feihong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Sheng's to suddenly get angry.
"Then Mr. Xu, should we use some means to ......" Although Bi Feihong's words were not clear, the meaning was obvious.
is deliberately to create black material for the drama "Parents' Love", in order to discredit and bring rhythm. This trick is his most commonly used method, and it is also handy to use.
Many times before, he has dealt with popular dramas on other platforms like this. When Xu Sheng heard Bi Feihong's words, he couldn't help but cover his face.
"You idiot!"
"Don't you know where the drama "Parents' Love" is broadcast?! Bi Feihong was stunned for a moment. I didn't react for a while.
"Isn't it Station G?" Xu Sheng's face had completely darkened. I don't know why, since Bi Feihong stepped down from the position of vice president.
Xu Sheng often felt that the other party's IQ seemed to be suddenly low, and he didn't know how much.
"It's official!!"
"This is a drama that airs on the official channel!"
"You don't want to do it, I still want to do it!" There is a reason why Xu Sheng is so angry. If it is true that Bi Feihong did those small actions in the past, let's not talk about the effect.
The official side is not a fool, and it is no secret that Xu Ji has a good relationship with the official.
They can make a feud with any company, and given the size of a penguin, they won't be afraid at all. But if it's official, what if the penguins are so powerful?
There are ways to get revenge on you. This is what makes Xu Sheng feel most unhappy. Although they know that the drama "Parents Love" has had a great impact on their main ancient puppet drama in December.
But there's no way to target it. Xu Ji is really smart enough, and he decided to broadcast it on the official station from the beginning.
Otherwise, with the sensitivity of the background of the drama "Parents' Love", with a little rhythm, it is enough for the other party to drink a pot.
"Alas......"
"Forget it, so be it."
"Mention the scale of publicity on our side, and don't worry about the rest." In the end, Xu Sheng could only sigh helplessly, and then spoke.
At this time, he regretted it a little. At that time, I felt that Tongji Entertainment's "Parents' Love" should have little impact on them.
turned out to be a miscalculation, otherwise, this ancient puppet drama of Penguin Video would definitely become a phenomenal hit.
In comparison, the kiwi and potato videos look much smarter. There were no decent plans for the launch of new dramas throughout December.
Obviously, he deliberately avoided "Parental Love" in the same period. ...... For Xu Ji, the recent good news is that "Infernal Affairs" has passed the trial.
In fact, there is only less than half a month left before New Year's Day, and it is indeed a bit rushed to be released on New Year's Day.
But if it is not released on New Year's Day, the only better schedule left in the future is the Spring Festival file.
And the theme of the movie "Infernal Affairs" was released during the Spring Festival, which is indeed not particularly suitable.
Although the current Spring Festival stalls are different from the past, movies of any theme can have a market. But on those days, themes such as slightly lighter comedies are still more popular.
However, since it is scheduled to be released on New Year's Day, it means that the promotion of "Infernal Affairs" must start as soon as possible.
After all, even on a schedule like New Year's Day, the competition is still very fierce. This time, as far as Xu Ji knows now, there are at least two foreign blockbusters that will be released on New Year's Day.
At the same time, Tianwu and smallpox, among the three, were also released on New Year's Day. Although the investment is not very high, it is about the same level as "Infernal Affairs".
Therefore, before the release, there is no word-of-mouth as a reference for the audience's choice, and the key is how well each company has done its publicity.
...... Soon, under the operation of You Man, the news that director Xu Ji's new movie "Infernal Affairs" will be released on New Year's Day appeared on Weite's hot search.
Whether it is Xu Ji's popularity or the cast of "Infernal Affairs" this time, when the news came out, it attracted a lot of attention.
In Xu Ji's film debut "Wushuang", actor Wei Yifa joined, and this time, the lineup is even stronger.
Long Zewei and Wu Zihao, two international actors, have two male leads, plus various familiar faces in Hong Kong City, and Wei Yifa, the actor, also played a cameo role in it.
Such a lineup basically gathers the actors in the once glorious Hong Kong films. Although the influence of Hong Kong films has decreased a lot now, it is difficult for any particularly outstanding new movies to appear.
But the actors of these old Hong Kong films are all old acquaintances for netizens, which can be said to be full of feelings.
Such a lineup is definitely the most luxurious compared to other movies released on New Year's Day.
Netizens who saw the news were naturally looking forward to it.
"Xu Ji's movie is finally here! There has been no news before, but I didn't expect it to be suddenly announced on New Year's Day this time. ”
", Xu Ji's card, last time it was Wei Yifa, this time he directly invited Long Zewei and Wu Zihao to be the two male leads."
"Last time, "Wushuang" had the style of old Hong Kong films, and this time I invited so many actors from Hong Kong City, I feel that Xu Ji intends to bring Hong Kong films back to the top?"
"Xu Ji is indeed still prolific, but I didn't expect the new work to be released on New Year's Day."
"Xu Ji is not planning to make a drama now? However, the quality of "Wushuang" was quite high before, and the new movie lineup this time is not weak, but it is worth looking forward to. ”...... is different from the situation before the release of Xu Ji's film debut "Wushuang".
After the double harvest of the box office and word-of-mouth of "Wushuang" last time, Xu Ji's second movie this time did not have much of a voice.
After all, in addition to being a director and screenwriter, Xu Ji also invited two international actors to the lineup. Many factors add up, and the appeal of the box office is still very strong.
Even the media began to predict the possibility of Xu Ji's new movie winning the New Year's Day championship.
"Xu Ji announced that he will join the highly competitive New Year's Day file"
"The ownership of the box office champion on New Year's Day is a mystery, and Xu Ji also announced that he will join"
"The two major movie stars joined, can Xu Ji reproduce the glory of "Wushuang" this time" Most of the media naturally look at things and don't think it's a big deal.
How to attract attention to the relevant news headlines. I have to say that among the movies released on New Year's Day this time, there is only one director, Xu Ji, who is the current traffic password.
In some other movies, the focus of netizens is on the actors. Of course, the collective hype of the media is definitely not a good thing.
In the entertainment industry, it is very common to use the means of killing to hit opponents. In this report, except for some of the media, they deliberately used relatively popular headlines for the sake of popularity.
Some of the others, apparently, were instructed. However, netizens are not stupid, and now these media on the Internet are blowing, Xu Ji's new movies are about to become the box office champion on New Year's Day.
It's obviously an exaggeration.
"Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs" has not yet released a trailer, and it is difficult to say what the specific type is, but it may not be so easy to win the box office champion on New Year's Day, right?"
"The box office champion this time is indeed not necessarily, just the two foreign blockbusters introduced are obviously menacing."
"Tianwu and Smallpox are also movies directed by first-line directors, and there are also actors and actresses in the lineup, and the investment may be higher than Xu Ji's movie, and they may all become the biggest winners this time."
"At present, it feels like these media are killing each other, just take a look, don't be fooled." ...... There are still a lot of sober netizens, and of course, a large part of them are brought to the rhythm.
However, at this time, Xu Ji not only showed great confidence in this, but even felt a little happy. Originally, the publicity time left for "Infernal Affairs" was not long, no matter who made this show, the popularity went up anyway.
Xu Ji still has a lot of confidence in the quality of his movie. Originally, it may have been a shortcoming in terms of publicity, but now it has been perfectly solved by the rhythm of the other party.
It's a pity that Xu Ji is not sure who is behind the scenes, so he found so much multimedia to help bring the rhythm, otherwise he really has to thank the other party.
You Man is not as big-hearted as Xu Ji. Because she was in a hurry, she hadn't seen what the finished film of "Infernal Affairs" was like.
Regardless of the quality and box office results of the film, the situation is not favorable now. So I also found some media to help balance these murderous remarks.
But no matter what, although "Infernal Affairs" has only just determined the time for finalization, there is no lack of heat and attention.
......
"Skydance's stupid."
"I thought it was to kill Xu Ji, but in fact, it was to spend money to publicize it." Phoenix Entertainment, this New Year's Day movie that their company did not invest in was released, and at this time, it can be regarded as a leisurely wall-watcher.
When Li Borui heard his eldest brother's evaluation, he asked with some confusion: "Why?" Li Bokai didn't mind solving his brother's doubts.
"According to Xu Ji's level, no matter what the final box office of the movie is, the word-of-mouth will definitely not be low."
"In this case, it is obviously too risky to use such a method of killing."
"And now there is only less than half a month left before the New Year's Day and New Year's Day, and Xu Ji's new movie has just begun to be promoted, obviously just passed the review and was hastily finalized."
"At this time, Xu Ji is still afraid that the publicity will not be hot enough."
"Tianwu, this is a great help to Xu Ji!" ...... Hearing Li Bokai's analysis, Li Borui nodded as if he didn't understand.
But he didn't really care about any of that. Instead, all I was thinking about was where to go with my friends after work.
The reason why Phoenix Entertainment did not participate in the box office competition on New Year's Day was actually because it put a major large-investment work in the later Spring Festival stalls.
After all, on New Year's Day this time, the competition in the film market is obviously a little too fierce. Instead of joining the volume, it is better to put it in the Spring Festival stall.
Although the Spring Festival stalls are also equally competitive, there are many film works in the same period.
"Big brother, yesterday the company left four more first-line artists."
"Do we really just care?" Li Borui hesitated for a while, but still asked. Although Li Bokai has long told him that this is a normal phenomenon.
But seeing so many first- and second-tier artists under the company leave one after another, I still feel very worried.
Li Bokai was as he expected, and the expression on his face did not change much. In fact, since Yu Feifei and Zheng Yuzhen made a start, he predicted the current situation.
This is actually deliberate by Li Bokai. Reduce the resources of these old artists in these companies, and then force the other party to break the contract and leave.
Then put all the company's resources on some new artists. Re-cultivate the fresh blood that belongs to Phoenix Entertainment.
As long as there is no problem with the studios of those super first-line actors signed by Phoenix Entertainment, their roots are still there.
As for the current labor pain, it is actually unavoidable. As for these first- and second-tier artists, as long as their Phoenix Entertainment resources are still there, it is not particularly difficult to regain a batch.
The only thing that makes Li Bokai feel a little regretful is that he still can't incorporate Xu Ji and Sha Yetong into his company.
Especially Xu Ji, if Tongji Entertainment falls, sign Xu Ji, and even pay the price of the company's shares, Li Bokai feels that it is acceptable.
...... At Station G at this time, Chi Jiang was still immersed in the data skyrocketing of "Parents' Love" the day before.
As a result, today I found that Tongji Entertainment had made another big move. There has been no news about Xu Ji's new movie before, and Chi Jiang's impression of this is still stuck in the fact that the filming was completed, and Xu Ji returned to Rongcheng from the crew.
I didn't expect it to be announced all of a sudden. It stands to reason that this matter actually has a great impact on Station G and Chi Jiang, and Station G and Tongji Entertainment signed a cooperation agreement on TV dramas.
But after Xu Ji's film debut "Wushuang" was released, the copyright was sold to Station G, and the income was still very high.
This is purely based on previous cooperation. And this time in "Infernal Affairs", if other online platforms take action, then they will be passive.
So even if the movie hasn't been released yet, Chi Jiang is already ready to talk to Tongji Entertainment about the online copyright of "Infernal Affairs".
