Chapter 179 The Attitude of Strategic Partners
In the evening, the sun sets,
Although it’s not yet Chinese New Year, it’s already the second day of May 9th, and it will be the beginning of spring in a week. Although it’s cold in the north, it’s no longer as cold as it was in 2939.
Yancheng, Directors Guild Office,
Ran Xiangfei, who was sitting on the office chair, glanced at the electronic calendar on the wall, and stroked his hair back.
The new calendar time is already January 29th, and there are only two days left before the deadline for submitting the application for hosting the film festival, but the staff still has not received the application for hosting the Mingsha Cultural Tourism.
"Pretend! Keep pretending! Let me see how long you can pretend?"
I muttered to myself,
Ran Xiangfei got up and went to the tea table to make himself a cup of tea.
Although he still looked calm, in fact, he showed a trace of panic that could not be detected.
In the past two days, the Actors Association and the TV Station Association have called, intentionally or unintentionally, trying to get the Directors Association to apologize to Mingsha Wenlv, but in the end, Ran Xiangfei blocked them with the reason of rejecting Cai An.
Even if they really softened to Yancheng TV Station and Haofang Culture in the end, it should be the chairman Ding Xiaoping who stepped forward instead of him.
"Two days. Two days should be enough!"
Holding the teacup and sitting back in his seat, Ran Xiangfei muttered to himself again.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, there was still a knock on the door and a voice from a staff member outside the office.
"Leadership, Haofang Culture"
"What happened to Haofang Culture? Did you submit an application for the film festival?"
It's okay if you don't listen, but when you hear it, Ran Xiangfei regains his energy in an instant, and asks before the staff enters the door.
"Leadership, no"
After entering the door, the staff whispered.
He originally had other jobs, but Ran Xiangfei gave him a new job in the past two days, which is to keep an eye on the movement of Haofang Culture and Mingsha Cultural Tourism.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing that the application was not submitted, Ran Xiangfei was disappointed for no reason, and finally leaned back slowly in the chair.
"Leader, just now Haofang Culture released a news about a new drama on the official website, and said that it will try to meet the audience around May."
The staff hurriedly said.
"Announcement of a new drama? What new drama?"
Ran Xiangfei was a little surprised.
This doesn't feel like Haofang Culture's style of doing things. The previous three projects either did nothing publicity quietly or engaged in surprise attacks.
This is the first time such a high-profile announcement has been made.
"Haofang Culture's official introduction says it is a new Xianxia drama, but the specific name has not been announced. I just checked and Haofang Culture has not registered with the relevant unit, only a movie!"
"Huh? A movie was filed? When did this happen quietly?"
Ran Xiangfei sat up straight again, what the hell is this?
"This movie is called "Dragon Inn". It is a martial arts action movie, and it has only been registered for a while! It is certain that Haofang Culture said on Weibo that this fairy tale drama is not this movie."
"The TV series secretly filed the movie again. Movies and TV shows."
ponder for a moment,
Ran Xiangfei's brows gradually relaxed, and his mood seemed much better than before.
"Understood, you go to work first."
"Good leadership!"
boom!
When the door of the office was closed, Ran Xiangfei subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, "Hehe, I made a movie quietly, and now I'm announcing in a high-profile way that there is no fairy tale drama. If you say that you are not for the film festival, no one will believe it." !"
After talking to myself,
Ran Xiangfei picked up the teacup again and began to savor it carefully.
Because of the Langya List and the "Ace Mediation" program, Haofang Culture already had a lot of enthusiasm. Now that the news came out, it immediately aroused many discussions among viewers and netizens on the forum.
Then,
The matter of Haofang Culture quietly filing "Dragon Inn" was also dug out by interested netizens.
for a while,
The forum is full of voices.
Those who have expectations, those who have doubts, and many who plan to leave a message on the official website of Haofang Culture to inquire about "Dragon Inn". In short, there is a feeling that the screen is full of discussions about Haofang Culture.
In the hearts of many netizens, Haofang Culture has become synonymous with high-quality dramas!
Since one TV series is more popular than the other, the quality of the movies must not be much worse.
The most important thing is that netizens didn't think too much, and they didn't connect the sudden release of the fourth play with Yunxing's "Ace Mediation".
Like Ran Xiangfei, they all thought that Haofang Culture's official announcement of the fourth drama was a pre-determined plan.
But this does not affect the audience's expectations for this "Xianxia drama" whose director and actor are yet to be determined, the shooting time and location are unknown, and the title of the play is yet to be referenced!
However, the audience was looking forward to it happily. Some people started to worry because of the sudden news.
Ning'an County,
In the chairman's office of Ning'an Cultural Tourism, Qi Haoyong never left a cigarette butt in his hand, and the ashtray on the desk was already full of cigarette butts.
"Hey, do you want to fight like this? Isn't it just a film festival? There is no shortage of tourists over there, so why is this? A costume conspiracy is not over yet another costume fairy tale is coming!"
a long time,
Qi Haoyong stuffed the cigarette butt into the ashtray bitterly.
The explosion of the ratings and word-of-mouth on the Langya list had already caused him a lot of headaches, but now that the time has come, another fairy tale drama has been officially announced, and a movie that has been filed has also been quietly released.
What's more terrible is that the time when this movie was dug up was very clever, and the publicity effect was better than that of the deliberate publicity.
"President Qi, what should we do now? I have a bad feeling!"
opposite the desk,
The vice president muttered several times, but finally couldn't hold back, and whispered.
"What premonition?"
"Mr. Qi, I feel that Mingsha Wenlu is deliberately putting pressure on the Directors Association in order to win the film festival, and the timing of this movie's sudden release indicates that its goal may be the Spring Festival!"
The vice president whispered.
"Me during the Spring Festival."
When Qi Haoyong heard it, he was about to say the essence of the country, but in the end he restrained it abruptly.
It is said that as early as a month ago, he happily expressed to Ran Xiangfei that the film of Ning'an Cultural Tourism was fine, and that it was impossible to compete with Haofang Culture again. What happened?
Then there's a movie coming!
"Boss Qi, can I tell the truth?"
After a pause, the vice president whispered again.
"you say!"
"Mr. Qi, I feel that we need to make a choice now. I feel that there can only be one movie that will go online at the film festival and the Spring Festival!"
"Save one?"
Qi Haoyong raised his eyebrows.
"President Qi, if we want to keep the film festival, we should continue to promote the film project according to the plan, and then we will definitely have another battle with Haofang Culture!
If you give up the film festival to protect the film, you can stagger with Haofang culture. After all, we gave up the film festival. We don't have to rush to the project before March 31st. "
The vice president expressed his thoughts.
"Can't you protect both?"
Qi Haoyong leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
"Mr. Qi, I think it will be difficult to keep both of them. The crowd of Mingsha Cultural Tourism is very loud. Even if we get the right to hold the film festival in the end, the people will compare us with Mingsha.
With the current momentum of Mingsha Cultural Tourism, we may not have a good reputation by then. I heard that there will be hundreds of extra performers recruiting recently, who knows if there will be trouble again! "
The vice president said again.
"But if there is no film festival, what will happen to the passenger flow next year?"
After thinking for a long time, Qi Haoyong looked up at the vice president.
At this moment, he was shaken a little bit. In a short time, he was really about to be beaten by the combination of Mingsha Wenlv's punches.
"Mr. Qi, although the film festival can attract tourists, it won't last long. I think Mingsha Cultural Tourism has actually provided us with a new idea. If there is a drama and an IP check-in place, tourists will naturally come!
Instead of this, it is better to manage our "Legend of the New Moon" well. As long as the Legend of the New Moon can get a good reputation, it can still bring fire to the Crescent Tower and the New Moon Hall. "
"That's what it says but...you let me think about it!"
Qi Haoyong took another cigarette from the cigarette case.
After smoking a cigarette,
Qi Haoyong took a deep breath, and then looked at the vice president,
"Well, you should go and find out first. How far is Haofang Culture's martial arts movie going? Is it really going to be in time for the Spring Festival?
If it is, then let's give up the film festival and let Mingsha go. "
"Okay, Mr. Qi!"
The vice president immediately nodded.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the neon lights flash,
Yancheng TV Station,
Han Lijun still didn't get off work. He sat in front of the computer and stared at the news on the forum, sometimes frowning and sometimes squinting.
It was not until a long time later that I slowly raised my head,
"Leader, what should we do now? Do you want to discuss the new drama contract with Haofang Culture?"
On the opposite side, Ren Long hurriedly said.
It is said that when he and the editors in the editorial department watched the sample of Langya Bang, they knew that the ratings and reputation of this show had stabilized, and the fact is the same.
Now the status of Haofang Culture in Yancheng TV Station has been raised to a new height.
So when Ren Long saw the news on Haofang Culture's official website, he immediately came to Han Lijun's office.
"This "Ace Mediation" program group is really too much, no wonder Haofang Culture will do this!"
Han Lijun didn't answer Ren Long directly, but muttered to himself with a deep expression.
Even he, an outsider, feels disgusted when he sees Ace Mediation's program. It is obvious that you made a mistake first and still talk about how difficult you are on the program. In the end, you have to kidnap others morally.
Don't be angry with anyone!
If it's an ordinary person, maybe it's okay to pass it, but this person is the president of Haofang's agency. This is nothing but eye drops for Haofang's culture.
"Yun Province TV station? You mean"
After a pause, Ren Long was suddenly stunned. He didn't know why his leader would suddenly get involved with that provincial TV station.
But after mentioning the point, Ren Long soon connected several seemingly irrelevant things together.
"You mean that Haofang Culture is deliberately aiming at the self-made Xianxia drama produced by Yunxing TV Station this time?"
"Didn't you find out that the new project announced by Haofang Culture this time is almost exactly the same as the big production of Yunnan Provincial TV Station in terms of drama type and launch time?"
Han Lijun looked at Ren Long.
"That's right, I simply thought that Haofang Culture wanted to appear in a new drama"
The more he thought about it, Ren Long's brows slowly wrinkled.
"In this way, Haofang Culture has helped us overcome difficulties many times, and now we have to pay back the favor when we are targeted there. Otherwise, we will always take advantage and not help. How can we continue to cooperate with Haofang Culture in the future!"
Han Lijun kept looking at the table with his fingers.
"Then how do you arrange it?"
Ren Long said hurriedly.
