Chapter 456: The Eight Major Pictures must be defeated head-on
The Spring Festival Gala is being rehearsed in an orderly manner.
On the other hand, "Exploration of Chinatown", which is ready to be released during the Spring Festival, is basically nearing the end of the post-production.
Poel felt a little exhausted at this point.
After all, his style is the kind of director who strives for perfection and likes to delve into all kinds of details.
This time, because of time constraints, I was forced to speed up my pace.
It's okay to be tired, but the main thing is that I can't accept it in my heart.
It's like obsessive-compulsive disorder seeing a very messy building block, always thinking about tidying it up to their satisfaction.
But that's not the point.
The problem was that although time had sped up a lot, he didn't get into the details.
But in the end, the quality of the finished film did not decline too much.
On the contrary, there is still some improvement.
This made him feel that his previous practices were a little chicken.
......
At the same time, the current film and television drama market, after "The Legend of Zhen Huan" dominated the list for nearly a month, finally ushered in the finale.
The three major video platforms breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
This finally made everyone a little more relaxed.
Otherwise, having such an unreasonable drama will really have too much impact on the three major platforms.
During this period, the three major platforms have tried to launch new dramas.
But without exception, no matter how well the publicity is done, there are hardly too many audiences.
Especially some of the idol dramas that were the easiest to produce results, there was almost no market.
In the previous dramas of Tongji Entertainment, the audience was mainly male.
Some of the idol dramas that everyone has launched still have room to survive.
But "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is different, and its audience is basically female audiences.
And it was so popular that it almost snatched up most of the audience.
Even if the drama itself has been updated to the late stage, there are still a large number of viewers who are squatting and chasing the change.
As for some other new dramas, everyone is not interested in it at all.
In the words of some viewers, after watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and watching some other idol dramas, you will feel that your IQ is like being insulted.
Typical example of good money driving out bad money.
......
"Are you sure that what Tongji Entertainment said is that it is planned to be broadcast in the next year?"
Chi Jiang looked at his assistant with some confusion and asked.
"Sister Man told me like this, saying that Tongji is going to have a holiday during the Spring Festival, so this "Wulin Gaiden" can only be broadcast after the New Year."
Hearing such an answer, Chi Jiang sighed with some emotion.
"In any case, Tongji Entertainment can be regarded as benevolent and righteous in its cooperation with us."
It stands to reason that the cooperation between their G station and Tongji will expire in April.
Basically, the New Year ended not long after.
In such a situation, it is likely that the new drama will not be broadcast when this cooperation is about to end.
This is very unworthy for Tongji Entertainment.
But now it is still decided like this, which means that no matter whether the other party can renew the contract in the future, he must be thinking of the old love of cooperating with Station G.
Speaking of which, You Man also stood out with G, although the other party will definitely not consider it from their point of view now.
Instead, the interests of Tongji Entertainment will be considered first.
But even so, You Man still remembers that he was a member of Station G.
This made Chi Jiang, the old leader, feel a little moved for a while.
Of course, in fact, he didn't know that it was, it was purely self-made up.
The reason for this decision is mainly that You Man and Xu Ji both feel that it will not have much impact on when "Wulin Gaiden" will be broadcast.
Even before the end of the contract
is launched on station G, and it still does not prevent this drama from getting copyright fees and shares.
As for the negotiation of the follow-up contract, in fact, even if you don't cooperate with Station G, the extra shares or benefits you can get will not be too much.
Compared with this amount of money, You Man prefers that "Wulin Gaiden" can be broadcast earlier, after all, there are many other dramas waiting to be broadcast in the future.
It's been pressed for a while, and there's no need to keep delaying it.
This can also allow Tongji Entertainment to return funds in a more timely manner.
......
"But this time this drama turned out to be a sitcom, which is a bit surprising."
In this way, the types of dramas produced by Tongji Entertainment have become more and more extensive.
From the original suspense, such a niche drama as martial arts.
and now Gong Dou and sitcoms, I really have dabbled in all kinds of things.
And the popularity of each drama is very high, and even most of them can become popular dramas.
Is there a type of script that Xu Ji is not good at?
If it is said that some other film and television companies have made a sitcom, it is still of such length as seventy or eighty episodes.
Chi Jiang will most likely think that the other party is here to cheat money.
After all, it is true that sitcoms were once glorious, but they are no longer popular, and they haven't even appeared for a long time.
But if it was Tongji Entertainment, Chi Jiang didn't feel that there was a problem at all.
has even begun to feel that the next market trend is likely to be the most popular TV drama genre.
Including now, with the explosion of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", in just over a month, film and television companies in the market have set up projects for I don't know how many palace fighting dramas.
Now there is even a saying that Tongji Entertainment is the direction of the market.
Although Chi Jiang felt that such a statement was a bit exaggerated, it seemed to be true, and he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
Fortunately, at least so far, every drama that leads the wind has been broadcast on their G station.
......
United States, the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been completed for some time.
Post-production is currently underway.
Of course, Martin did not relax at all.
The last family gathering made him irritable and more determined to prove himself.
He doesn't have much desire for the so-called inheritance of Picky.
I even feel that it is too boring to fight for these things with my so-called big brother.
He hadn't thought he'd be able to inherit.
Now in fact, many of Paiqi's high-level executives think he is qualified.
There are even some people who have taken the initiative to come up and want to support him in the struggle for inheritance.
But Martin himself was not interested.
Compared with Tongji Entertainment, the project he is responsible for can get proud results, and the sense of achievement that brings him is the greatest.
On the contrary, it is the so-called inheritance of Pyki, even if it is fought, Martin does not feel that there is anything to be proud of.
Paigie was able to become the current Big Eight Pictures because of his father Wesker's hard work.
It has little to do with him.
But others don't think so.
Compared with Martin, his brother Cayden originally had a good reputation, but now everyone feels that Cayden can't lead Paiki Pictures to continue to glory.
Not to mention that in the years that Cayden has been in Pacie's tenure, he has not had many achievements that can be achieved.
It's not even as good as Martin's previous "Chainsaw".
And most of the results, in fact, everyone knows how much water is there.
Kayden is like an ordinary person who follows the rules, there is nothing wrong with being a small leader, but when it comes to being in charge of such a large company, many senior executives are not at ease.
On the contrary, it seemed to be a second-rate person before
Martin, on the contrary, seems to be much more reliable now.
In the words of some Paige Films' veterans, it is the current Martin, who has the style of the young Wesker.
As for Kayden, he bears no resemblance to his father at all.
......
The main reason for this change is that last time Wesker promised Kayden to be in charge of a hugely invested project.
The project had already been approved, and after Kayden joined, everyone didn't pay much attention to it.
I just thought that the other party came in to rub off on the results.
But I didn't expect that the person in charge of the other party really began to be responsible.
Overturned a bunch of ideas and plans from the original filmmaker and director, and began his own command.
This has naturally been complained by many people.
The key is the identity of the other party, and they really can't say anything.
Even if the movie pounces at the end, the ones who lose money are all the Mason family, and even Wesker, the boss, didn't say anything, and they couldn't talk much.
But the director couldn't accept it, the producer was professional, and he still trusted him as a well-known director.
After changing to Kayden, it seems that there is suddenly a mother's Party A.
So I quarreled with Kaiden four or five times in three days, and finally directly said that I would not shoot.
I don't shoot for liquidated damages, and I can't stand Kayden.
Originally, things were developing here, and everyone would think that Wesker, the boss, would come forward.
But unexpectedly, this time it seems that Wesker really intends to completely let go and let Kayden be in charge alone.
In the end, Kayden directly changed the original director and even the actors a lot.
This also caused a lot of dissatisfaction among Paiqi's top management.
Compared with Cayden, some of the people who went to help the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" before were all praised when Martin was mentioned at this time.
Including business ability, and the degree of professionalism of the film.
It's not at all like the loser in everyone's impression before.
This made many high-level executives think about calling Martin back to the company.
At least better than Kaiden.
If Patrick really leaves Kayden in charge, it may be completely over.
No one knows how many years Wesker, who looks very tough, will be able to hold out for a few years.
After all, I'm in my sixties now.
Even if he can live for twenty years, but he is old, and if he wants to completely control the entire Paigie, he probably has more than enough heart and not enough strength.
......
"Mr. Martin, are you sure you want to wait for that Page's movie to come out?"
"Although the time may be similar, it is a bit ...... to deliberately release it at a time."
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
The director is strange here, although he knows that this movie is invested by Tongji.
Even his current contract is under Tongji Entertainment.
But Martin is Patrick's son-in-law after all, and he deliberately targets his own company.
No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit of a sense of filial piety.
Martin explained:
"That's what I want."
"Otherwise, there are still people who think that our Tongji Entertainment is really Paigie's puppet company."
"Pai Qi is Pai, Tong Ji Entertainment is Tong Ji Entertainment."
That's what Martin has always been unhappy with.
Although it hasn't been explained much on the surface, it seems that it doesn't care.
But every time he heard that he Martin was able to achieve his current results, it was completely dependent on or something, and he was a little unacceptable.
Coupled with the fact that his dear big brother was in charge of Paigie's big investment project this time, he had no reason to let go of such an opportunity.
"Of course, it's mostly happening."
"We need to make a name for ourselves in America."
"In this case, we will have to beat the film projects of the eight major studios head-on."
"This time, the investment amount of Paiki's movie is about the same as ours, and it is just the right time to use it for surgery."
Martin added.
Tongji Entertainment's previous "Chainsaw" performed very well at the box office despite word-of-mouth.
Even "Dream Travel" has also attracted a lot of people's attention.
But Tongji's reputation is still not on the rise in the United States.
Even many people think that Martin's company is actually behind Paiki Pictures.
This made Martin feel that he was not doing his job as a person in charge.
So of course he will not let go of such an opportunity.
......
"Mr. Wesker, this is the fourth senior this month to express dissatisfaction with Kayden."
The assistant's words made Wesker, the chairman of Paiki, sigh as well.
He didn't know that with Kayden's current ability, he couldn't actually be in charge of such a big project.
But if you don't let the other party try, then this guy will definitely still be dissatisfied.
That's why I made my decision at that time.
Wesker's assistant, as an old man who has followed him for more than 20 years, although he only has an assistant position, his status in Pacie is actually not weaker than some department managers, or even higher.
At the same time, he also knows the whole of Paiki very well, and is one of the few people who can read the thoughts of Wesker, the chairman.
"Even if it is to let Young Master Kaiden exercise, will the cost be too high?"
The assistant hesitated.
In the past, he would not have questioned Wesker's decision.
But this time it's not a small fight, and the investment of $160 million is not a small amount.
Even for Paiqi, who has a big family, it is enough to break the bones.
When it comes to cost, Wesker is obviously a little sore too.
But he still replied stubbornly: "This money, in exchange for Pai Qi's future future, is worth it."
When the assistant heard this, he finally didn't speak again.
He knew what the other party was thinking, and he intended that Cayden would be able to completely give up his peep into Patkey's inheritance after losing money on this project.
