Chapter 517: Apologies Can Also Be Made Up

Because everyone had a consensus, the meeting ended quickly.

Although the people in the video conference were only theaters that had cooperated with Kuiguang Group many times, they did not represent all theaters in the country... but these people also have their own network of relationships, which will also affect the decision-making of other theaters that did not attend the meeting.

After this meeting, it is certain that at least 80% of the theaters in the country will no longer land the animated film "Luo Dabai".

"The influence of Kuiguang Group is really too great now." Yang Ruoqian turned off the video conference and sighed belatedly, "It's really just one meeting that determines the life and death of a work."

Of course, this is based on the fact that the work itself has a lot of negative information, and the basic market has collapsed, and the ability to realize is not optimistic.

Although Kuiguang Group now has the real ability to suppress a person or even a creative team, Mr. Yang and Kuiguang Group, as a company that purifies the entertainment industry environment, will not do such a thing.

If the Kuiguang Group, in the name of the company, were to chase and intercept a crew from all channels, they would first find it extremely difficult to raise funds, then it would be extremely difficult to recruit actors, publicity would be difficult, and going online in theaters would be even more difficult.

Strong financial resources, strong network of relationships, a terrifying community of interests formed by taxpayers and ordinary people, countless diehard fans, and even money printing machines in the international market...

Whoever dares to touch their rice bowls will have a blood feud with them.

And the interests of this huge group of people are directly tied to the interests of the Kuiguang Group.

If the Kuiguang Group stands up and expresses its attitude, letting these people choose between two options, either to follow the group or to follow the opponent, I believe that for many people, this is not a difficult decision to make.

Yang Ruoqian has truly experienced how powerful his words are.

Even those traditional entertainment circles have now shown signs of weakness, with various cooperation invitations coming one after another, and have begun to actively sign up for the Kuiguang Group's Academy Awards.

At the same time, they also began to shamelessly and proactively award prizes to the works produced by Kuiguang Group.

If the traditional entertainment industry used to only regard Kuiguang Group and Yang Ruoqian as a nouveau riche, now they have already regarded Kuiguang Group as their real "own people".

Of course, although Mr. Yang now has the ability to "act recklessly", he will not mess around unless he is facing a creative team like "Luo Dabai".

Not to mention that doing so will overdraw the group's reputation and soft power to a certain extent...

From the perspective of interests, Yang Ruoqian would like to have more healthy competitors, and he would like to see another domestic opponent rise up to compete with him and grab some of his market share. How could he suppress normal people?

"I accidentally found myself as if I had become the boss who has the final say. This feeling..."

The main reason is that the identity changed too quickly. Mr. Yang himself doesn't care much about these things.

Luo Ruqin asked in surprise: "Dad, I said we are the big villains now. I didn't lie to you!"

"Ha, we abide by the law, have healthy competition, don't exploit employees, and are brave to innovate. Aren't we good citizens?" Yang Ruoqian retorted, "How can we be villains? You are a rebellious son. It's hard for me to entrust the company to you if you have such thoughts."

Luo Ruqin counted on her fingers and said seriously: "No problem, obey the law, If you are law-abiding, the decent people can't do anything to you; if you compete in a healthy way and don't exploit employees, the whole company will be united, which is in stark contrast to the decent people who always like to fight among themselves; if you are brave and innovative, you are incompatible with the conservative decent people... Uh, Dad, you are the big villain! "

"Moreover, the big villain is usually the strongest person in a region. You are the strongest person in our entertainment company now. To sum up, you... we are indeed the big villain!"

Yang Ruoqian complained: "It's a farce."

While chatting with Cyber's daughter, Yang Ruoqian continued to look at his phone.

Soon, many old entertainment companies and cinemas came out to say that based on the company's technical adjustments and business considerations, they would not put the "Luo Dabai" animated film on the shelves.

It was less than half an hour after the video conference, and the statements of these companies had already come out, which was extremely efficient.

Of course, they would not say that they were responding to the Kuiguang Group, but anyone who is not a fool can see that these companies are standing up for the Kuiguang Group and taking sides in the casting of the movie "Aveda".

It seems that as long as the Kuiguang Group issues an order, those companies that usually fight to the death and use all kinds of dirty means to attack each other will immediately put aside their grievances, unite as a front, and fight the enemy together.

In the past, this approach would definitely be suppressed by netizens, and fans of the work would definitely stand up to complain, but this time, all the comments were in praise.

At the same time, many media also said that the influence of the Kuiguang Group in the entertainment industry is too great, so great that it is a bit scary.

It is incredible that the entertainment industry, where four people can set up more than a dozen groups and intrigue, can be united.

It is not surprising that Yang Ruoqian expected that in addition to the theaters that had just discussed in the video conference, many other theaters that did not participate in the video conference also stood up and issued the same statement.

"Very good..." Yang Ruoqian laughed, "The momentum is very huge! Do you really think that an apology can stop me from spending money? Young people nowadays are still too young."

The situation is very good!

The money-shredder is still running at full capacity!

…

At the same time, in an office that is not very large but has a rather "petty bourgeoisie" style of decoration.

Unlike what many outsiders speculated, the creative team of "Luo Dabai" did not disband the studio directly after finishing the last animation, but continued to exist as a company.

The reason why they can maintain operations and make money comfortably without creating for such a long time is that they keep looking for all possible infringements on the Internet.

Earn compensation.

Of course, this is the legitimate rights and interests of others, so no one says anything about it, but fans keep urging them to update.

Until recently, there were fewer and fewer people who could claim compensation, and the secondary creations were wiped out, the original creations were delayed, and a large number of fans were lost. The studio team was preparing new works and prepared to continue to make money from the works.

These creators have been away from creative work for too long, away from the entertainment industry for too long, and due to the company's management methods, each of them is not affiliated with each other and has their own social circles.

Each member of the studio has a different division of labor. They usually fight lawsuits, slack off in the company and wait for the compensation to arrive. When they need to create, they join the team. The boundaries between superiors and subordinates are very vague.

Investors can make money steadily and are too lazy to intervene in the decision-making of these creators.

Originally, life could be so beautiful. Release works, crack down on secondary creations to earn compensation, and release sequels when they are about to disappear. The cycle of living off the old capital seems to be able to repeat for a long time.

Until one of them, maybe surfing the Internet too much, or feeling jealous of the strong rise of Kuiguang Group, or even seeing too many diversified things abroad, he actually attacked "Aveda" directly on the Internet platform without knowing the consequences.

After this creative member expressed his opinion, countless angry netizens flooded into their comment area and demanded an apology.

At this stage, the matter is actually still under control - because everyone still feels that the creator's expression of his own opinions is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with the entire production team and the work.

Then, another main creative staff member came out to quibble, refused to apologize, and was so stubborn that he burned the fire on the entire main creative team.

Finally, with an email from Kuiguang Group and the cruel abandonment of the animation character, Kuiguang Group was removed from the whole incident, and the IP of the entire work of "Luo Dabai" was affected...

Now the creative team realized that they seemed to be in big trouble.

This rare group of scattered people gathered in the company, and even spent money to find a public relations team to advise them.

In the end, they came to a conclusion-it is impossible to have perfect public relations at this stage. The best solution is to make a big deal out of a small matter, put on an attitude of admitting mistakes, and calm things down as much as possible.

If it can't be solved, then cool it down, or simply withdraw the hot search.

The last time they abandoned the negative news of the animation character, it was because the hot search was withdrawn in time, so it had no influence and did not cause a large-scale collapse of fans.

But this time, their opponents are no longer those fans who have no power, are scattered, can only post videos angrily on the Internet, and then suffer from traffic restrictions.

It is the Kuiguang Group, which has a strong power and even controls the social platform.

Withdraw the hot search?

Let’s not talk about whether they have the financial resources to compete with the Kuiguang Group, and whether they have the ability to make every platform choose them instead of the Kuiguang Group. Even if other hot searches are really withdrawn, can they still withdraw the hot search of Leopard Pu?

Negative news like this that is enough to shake the basic base will spread quickly and spread all over the Internet as soon as a hole is opened.

So, in the end, they decided to apologize.

And in the apology statement, they secretly characterized the matter as a conflict between "and the Kuiguang Group" and characterized it as "the casting of professional crews should not be judged by laymen's eyes."

Compared with the accusations of receiving dog food from abroad, betraying fans, etc., which can be called a disaster, these two are so light that they can be passed over in one sentence.

Because of different opinions, it is not a principled mistake.

As long as it is not a principled mistake, fans have room for rebuttal.

Moreover, it is rumored that Kuiguang Group has always been generous and tolerant, and is the same to employees, partners and everyone else. As long as they issue an apology statement to show weakness, they should not be embarrassed.

"Will not be embarrassed?!" Qian Mu, the leader of the main creative team, roared angrily, and slammed the documents in his hand on the table, "This basically means that all mainstream theaters have cut ties with us, right?"

"Didn't you say that the relationship between Kuiguang Group and the traditional entertainment industry is incompatible? Why did the theaters over there issue the same statement so quickly?"

When has the creative team, who have always been together and friendly to each other, ever had such a conflict? Everyone looked at each other and dared not speak.

Many people also felt wronged in their hearts - they didn't say anything, so why were they implicated together?

Aren't you and a good friend of yours the ones who speak without restraint on the Internet?

Everyone didn't get angry, so why did you get angry first?

Even the fact that the main creative team murdered the prototype of the animation character was revealed by Qian Mu in an event.

Now that we have encountered a problem, let's find a way to solve it together...

Qian Mu seemed to be still unsatisfied, and continued to curse: "Now, our animation is almost finished, and now it is banned by the entire network. What should we do?!"

"Zheng Zejia, you must be so mean to provoke a giant company? Or a giant company in the same industry? You have been a keyboard warrior on the Internet for too long, and you can't tell the difference between the big and small ones. Now the whole company is dragged down by you!"

"Qian Mu!" Zheng Zejia, who seemed to have been scolded for too long, finally couldn't help but slammed the table and stood up, "What kind of good thing are you? I only posted the first comment, and the rest are bullying. Huo's dynamics, didn't you post that weird apology yourself? I don't even want to scold you. If it weren't for your leaky mouth, would our basic base collapse? "

Qian Mu was furious: "I was speaking for you, you blame me, right? ! Without the comment you posted at the beginning, would I speak for you? Would someone bring up the matter we suppressed again? In the end, isn't it your fault?"

Looking at the two people who were in harmony and laughing together playing games a few days ago, now close to tearing their faces, the other employees who were watching the game only had one sentence in their minds.

We can share happiness, but not suffering.

"If you want to trace the source like this, then..."

Pah!

Before he finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open and hit the wall, causing everyone to turn around and look over.

That was the representative of the investor.

They believed that the IP value of "Luo Dabai" was high enough, and fans would definitely pay for it after it was released, so they invested heavily in order to get a good return.

However, now it seems that, let alone expecting results, they may not even be able to release it in theaters!

This is the rhythm of losing all the money!

And it was caused by the inappropriate remarks made by the creative team.

Who wouldn't be angry?

Don't think that this investor can slam the door and go in. He was looking for Kuiguang Group to let him go but to no avail, so he vented his anger.

"Arguing?! Shifting responsibility?!"

"I didn't lose my temper, but you guys started fighting among yourselves first? You dared to offend Kuiguang Group by making a movie "Luo Dabai". If you were more powerful, would you dare to rebel directly? Hmm?"

"Don't forget that we signed a gambling contract. Do you want to wait for death?"

"I don't care what excuses you have or what ideas you have. Write a self-criticism to me immediately, to Kuiguang Group, to all people and fans! Send it to me!"

"Even if you kneel down and kowtow, you must ask for Yang Ruoqian's forgiveness!" (End of this chapter)
