Chapter 934 Let Us Suffocate for Our Dreams! A Valentine's Day Gift that Will Shock the Entire Domestic Entertainment Industry!

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to August 5th.

This morning, several more movies joined the battle for the summer holiday box office.

Hollywood imported blockbuster "The Secret Life of Pets", "Tomb Raiders" starring Jing Boran and Lu Han, "Summer Trees in Heaven" starring Han Geng, "My Best Friend's Wedding" starring Shu Qi and Feng Shaofeng...

A series of 7 films entered the summer vacation with great momentum, aiming for a better tomorrow.

However, looking at it, the one that gets the most attention is undoubtedly "Tang Detective 2"!

It has been a week since it was released on the 29th. With a box office of 2.141 billion in the first seven days of the first week, "Tang Detective 2" has dominated the entire summer vacation and has become the well-deserved No. 1 in the box office rankings!

Second only to it is "Escape". With the popularity of Chen Long and Fan Bingbing, this movie has successfully exceeded the 800 million mark.

Although its box office potential has been almost exhausted, the film has already recouped its costs and doubled its revenue.

On the other hand, "Legend of the Gods", which was criticized by netizens as a bad movie, has just exceeded the 100 million box office mark a week later, and the daily new box office has plummeted to less than 10 million. It is losing money and almost selling its pants. Got it!

It was under such circumstances that the counterattack from the mainland cinema market came.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Pan-Asia Cinemas, together with cinemas owned by Wanda, Shanghai Film, China Film, Huayi and other companies, issued an announcement targeting the fat lady:

“As we all know, theater chains usually hold an internal screening meeting before scheduling a certain film to determine how to arrange and adjust the film’s scheduling data and estimate the film’s market potential.

As for "Legend of the Gods", we attach great importance to it!

However, during the internal preview screening, we did not see any selling points of the film or its revealed market potential.

Looking at it, the film only shows exaggerated acting skills and lines, as well as a messy plot trend, as well as unsightly service and scene painting style!

Looking at the entire film, it can be said that there is no redeeming feature!

Therefore, after careful consideration, each theater chain has unanimously decided to reduce the film's share of the film's schedule and retain its observation opinions.

After the film was released, we immediately carefully saw the film's attendance and box office performance, as well as the audience's viewing situation.

It's a pity that the negative reviews of this film are simply exaggerated! The box office performance was even worse. It can be seen that the film is an unquestionable and complete bad film, and there is no hope of saving it!

Therefore, after careful consideration and based on market performance, we have appropriately adjusted and reduced the film's schedule to ensure that other high-quality Chinese-language films are not affected or damaged, and to meet the expectations of audiences and fans...

As for the recent online public opinion and the doubts raised by some people, the theaters will treat it with a pragmatic attitude and may seek legal aid and support if appropriate. We also hope that some people can view this matter correctly and do not Wandering around, talking nonsense, confusing right and wrong, and only adding to the laughing stock! "

More than a dozen theaters in China have jointly responded to the public opinion caused by a certain film recently...

Looking at this operation, the major film and television production companies in the industry felt inexplicably familiar.

"Why does it feel a little weird? It seems like I have seen this operation before."

"Uh...have you forgotten about the movie "Rock Tibetan Mastiff"? Didn't Zheng Jun also suffer from the theaters' attacks when he live-streamed on Weibo to criticize major theaters in China?"

"Oh, now that I think about it, "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" has been scrapped!"

"I just went to see it. That movie "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" only got 9.42 million at the box office in North America, and it has been forced to be withdrawn, hahaha!"

"Okay, the last one is Zheng Jun, the next one is Xiang Tai, haha, after "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" ended, "Legend of the Gods" will also follow the same path!"

At this moment, with this joint response from multiple theaters, many people in the industry are discussing how much money "Legend of the Gods" will lose this time.

On the other hand, the netizens on Weibo were more excited than the last, and seemed to have started having fun in the comment area at the bottom of the article.

"Haha, Kyouta was attacked again, well done, wonderfully done!"

"Pfft... I don't know who wrote this response article. It's nonsense, nonsense, confusing right and wrong, and just adds to the laughing stock. These little words are so slippery!"

"That's it, it hurts my heart! It hurts my heart so much! If you make a bad movie, why don't you let people talk about it?"

"Look at Xiang Zuo's acting skills. Why has he been recognized by many celebrities? It really disgusts me."

"Go check it out. Xiangtai's Weibo account has been blocked. Haha, it's been banned for half a year. It's so cool."

Throughout the morning, the Internet was in a state of noisy gongs and drums, and firecrackers were blasting. Netizens were clapping their hands and applauding, which was called a happy and joyful one.

However, on Bona's side, Yu Dong was completely desperate!

Ever since Kouta published that long article, he had realized something was wrong.

He even specifically contacted Xiang Huaqiang at that time, hoping that he could persuade Xiang Tai to delete the long article.

If I just scolded the crew of "Tang Detective 2", that would be better. Anyway, the two sides are in a competitive relationship, so I just scolded each other, and it is normal to be at each other's throats.

But the damn thing is, Kyouta not only scolded the crew of "Tang Detective 2", saying that they deliberately asked the navy to smear "Legend of the Gods", but he also brought the theater chain into it!

Isn't this a bad move?

If you scold the theater chain, how can you possibly get any good results?

No, retribution is coming soon!

Once this response is released, if nothing else happens, tomorrow's "Legend of the Gods" film schedule will fall directly to the bottom.

"Rock Tibetan Mastiff" is the best lesson for others!

"Legend of the Gods" will inevitably follow its path!

"What a fool! How can people be so stupid? If I had known, I wouldn't have cooperated with them. All the investment from labor and capital has been wasted!"

In the office, Yu Dong was so angry that he started jumping around.

The loss this time was so great that he didn’t even know how to explain it to shareholders, and such a big loss would definitely affect the company’s future listing process...

When he thought of this, he became furious!

“Dingle bells!!!”

The phone suddenly rang rapidly.

Yu Dong turned his head and looked subconsciously.

When he saw the name "Xiang Tai Chen Lan" marked on the caller ID, he pressed the connect button without hesitation!

"Hello? Dong Yu..."

On the other end of the phone, Xiangtai, who knew he was in trouble, was about to admit his mistake, but what he received was a lot of curses from Yu Dong!

"You stupid, stupid, stupid fat bitch! Yesterday I asked you to delete your Weibo immediately. You're good, your head is as hard as a diamond. You're fine now. Are you happy? You feel good. Are you satisfied?

I tell you! This movie is finished! Completely ruined! Hundreds of millions of losses have been lost! There is no room for salvation anymore!

Damn it! Damn you fat lady! Go eat shit! "

The roar echoed throughout the office and even spread outside.

Jin Peacock, who came to the company, stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, not daring to go in, for fear that Yu Dong would vent his anger on himself.

Although there was a lot of noise online, Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to it.

After the announcement was sent out, he immediately arranged for Weibo to block Xiangtai's account, and then ignored the matter.

"Find a time to send the key extension application for "Tang Detective 2" to the film bureau."

"Extension for one month?"

"Well, one month is enough. If it is longer, it will be on the National Day schedule. There is no need to delay it too long. After all, it is just a comedy, and the box office potential is not much."

"OK."

On the phone, Su Guohai answered and immediately went to make arrangements.

After arranging another important event, Chen Fei subconsciously turned his attention to the stock market.

After LeTV's stock price fell to the limit yesterday, LeTV issued a series of good announcements, but it still failed to stop the falling stock price and market value.

No, after the market opened in the morning, it hit another limit, and the market value of 50 billion+ was almost unsustainable!

But even so, there were still many leeks running into the venue. This situation was something Chen Fei never expected.

Big capital has begun to liquidate and leave the market. Where do they get the confidence? You actually want to take advantage of this moment to buy the bottom?

Seeing the crazy behavior of these leeks, Chen Fei was really speechless.

At the same time, at the Tangcheng Film and Television Base in Xiangyang, inside the crew of the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

At this moment, Brother Chen Kai is carefully instructing his youngest son Chen Feiyu on how to show off his acting skills and how to express himself when facing the camera.

"Arthur, you must keep in mind what I taught you. You will be able to use them after you join the crew of "Secret Fruit".

I have already inquired. The director of the movie you will star in next is called Lian Yiqi. He is a director from Bayan Province. I will find someone to say hello to him. Just listen to him after you go. "

"Okay, Father, I understand."

The father and son were chatting, but at this moment, Chen Hong suddenly walked over from the side.

"Brother Kai, Mr. Zhang from LeTV called and said he wanted to make an appointment to have a chat with you."

Hearing this, Brother Chen Kai suddenly frowned: "What does he want to talk about?"

"I heard what he meant, as if he wants to invite you to join LeTV... According to what he said, LeTV has released a batch of share subscription letters, preparing to invite domestic entertainment filmmakers to suffocate their dreams together..."

"Haha." Brother Chen Kai curled his lips with disdain on his face: "Just refuse it and join LeTV at this time? Only a fool would do such a thing."

"Ah? Why? Isn't now a good time to buy at the bottom?" Chen Hong asked with some confusion.

Brother Chen Kai was just about to explain, but at this moment, the staff ran over and reminded: "Director Chen, Producer Chen, the scenery and props are ready, and the actors are in place..."

"Okay, get ready to start shooting immediately!"

Brother Chen Kai stood up from his chair and walked towards the crew, while telling Chen Hong: "Remember, don't get involved with LeTV. That's not called suffocating dreams, it's really suffocating!"

As the second generation from the compound, Brother Chen Kai always has first-hand information in terms of internal intelligence.

Compared to Zhang Yimou, who has become a capital early, his sense of smell is much more sensitive!

…

After a night, the time came to the 6th.

The entire film industry suddenly focused on a movie called "Tomb Raiders".

"Directed by Li Renbang, Nanpai Sanshu participated in the screenwriting work, starring Jing Boran, Lu Han, Ma Sichun, Wang Jingchun, and Zhang Boyu, the film "Tomb Robbers" adapted from the novel of the same name by Nanpai Sanshu was released on the first day , the box office revenue was 161 million yuan!”

As a movie that has its own traffic, and is written by the original author Nanpai Sanshu, and also has two popular traffic niches, Lu Han and Jing Boran, "Tomb Raiders" can be said to be one of the new movies released in August. The most striking.

At the beginning of its release, many people in the industry analyzed that this movie would probably perform very well at the box office.

And now it turns out that this analysis is indeed correct!

Looking around, in the film industry, the film and television adaptation of big IP is often a problem.

It's definitely not possible to keep it intact. After all, there are certain differences between novels and movies. There will definitely be changes when the text becomes the picture.

Moreover, if there are no changes to the original work, the audience will feel that there is nothing new.

Of course, excessive magic modification is even more undesirable. Some directors and screenwriters not only want to use big IP novels to attract traffic, but also want to have their own ideas and do not want the story to be trapped in the original novel, so they make random changes, and in the end they will inevitably be The audience scolded him like crazy!

Just like "Legend of the Gods", this is a very typical negative case.

The producers wanted to be a bitch, but also wanted to build a memorial, so they lost everything.

The success of "Tomb Raiders" at the box office on the first day, combined with the continuous increase in the box office of Feiyue Film and Television's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series, has undoubtedly played a good leading role for many film and television production companies in the industry!

At this time, at Alibaba Pictures, Zhang Hao was giving various instructions to the manager of the publicity and distribution department.

"We must ensure that our 'Ten Miles of Peach Forest' concept poster and 'The Origin of Flowers' series of themed posters fit the description of the original work. We do not seek to gain universal attention, but we must ensure that we can gain the love of a specific audience. Good IP can be matched with good ones. Propaganda and development complement each other, and they have cultural heritage but do not deviate from the plot and do not compromise..."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will pay attention to this part of the situation."

The manager of the publicity and distribution department kept nodding his head and kept what Zhang Hao said in mind.

However, just as the two were chatting happily, the secretary opened the door and walked in, and reminded: "Mr. Zhang, Director Zhao is here."

"Ask her to wait for me outside for a while." Zhang Hao ordered coldly, and then continued to talk about the promotion plan of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

After waiting outside the door for more than half an hour, Zhao Yanzi finally received the notification that he could enter.

Pushing the door and walking into the office, Zhao Yanzi took a look at Zhang Hao who was sitting in the office chair. Zhao Yanzi sighed helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, I received news from the General Administration. I'm afraid "No Other Love" is It won’t pass the trial.”

"What?!" Zhang Hao stood up fiercely: "Is this true?"

"It's true." Zhao Yanzi explained dejectedly: "The review department sent the script to the Children's Bureau to get their opinions, but I never thought that the script would be detained directly..."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately realized that the investment in this movie was completely wasted.

The script has been withheld for such a long time and there has been no movement. It is obvious that it is not ready to be filmed.

"Alas, we still take it too much for granted. There are so many heavyweight mouthpieces above protesting. This cannot be solved by simple casting."

"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Yanzi almost collapsed.

Fortunately, the movie that I have worked so hard for so long has now been blocked. This is really unlucky!

What makes her feel even more helpless is that there is no place for reason now. She has no choice but to accept it...

However, to her surprise, Zhang Hao didn't particularly care about this matter.

"I will take care of the movie. The total investment is only tens of millions. When the time comes, all the accounts will be transferred to other projects and spread evenly. Just try not to cause resentment among shareholders."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic: "The most critical thing now is the stock market! As long as we can create enough benefits for shareholders, they will definitely turn a blind eye to the failure of film investment."

Hearing these words, Zhao Yanzi swept away the melancholy in her heart and assured her with all her heart: "Mr. Zhang, you can rest assured that my company has been registered.

Now we just have to wait to get the money from the bank, and then we can officially start with Wanjia. As long as the group can help out a little bit, Alibaba Pictures will definitely be in a bull market! "

"Haha, okay, anytime, you can make more money in the stock market than in movies!"

"Yes, didn't Buffett become the world's richest man through stock market investment? If he can do it, so can we!"

…

On August 9th, the annual Chinese Valentine’s Day officially arrives.

Just when many "model couples" in the entertainment industry began to show off their love, gifts, and affection on Weibo, the shortlist for the main competition unit of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival was announced.

The media immediately started reporting:

"The shortlist of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival has been officially announced. Congratulations to director Chen Fei for successfully being shortlisted for the main competition unit with the film "La La Land"!"

"Congratulations to Chinese film director Wang Bing for successfully being shortlisted for the Horizon section of this year's Venice International Film Festival with his film "Bitter Money."

"Congratulations to Chinese-language film director Fan Haolun for successfully being shortlisted for the screening section of this Venice International Film Festival with the film "Where Are You"!"

"Director Chen Fei retweeted the shortlist of the main competition unit of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival and posted it x-on:LiuYifei with the caption: Princess Sissi, Valentine's Day gift has been given!"

"Liu Yifei posted a new Weibo: x-on:陈飞, with the text: Thank you for your Valentine's Day gift, I like it very much, hee hee (><)..."

With the sweet interaction between the two, the entire entertainment industry exploded in an instant!
