Chapter four hundred and seventy-six: salmon upstream.
"Mr. Han, you gave us a big surprise this time."
After visiting the Bird Theater, the bosses and senior executives of film and television companies felt envious in their hearts. However, the surprise Li Junmiao said was not entirely a compliment. Who in the film industry doesn't hope that the more theaters there are, the better?
"Look what you said, after this theater chain opens, you still need to take care of it." Han Fei kept his posture very low.
As soon as they sang in harmony, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively. Everyone was talking, laughing, walking and chatting, and it was a good time.
However, there are exceptions. For example, Huang Hexiang of Gold Medal Film and Television is very embarrassed. It has long been known in the industry that he and Han Fei did not deal with each other before. The two sides have had more than one head-to-head confrontation. He has been beaten, and he has escaped unscathed.
But I didn't take any advantage.
This time when I heard that Han Fei had formed a theater chain, Huang Hexiang's original thought was "it's over" and Han Fei would definitely take the opportunity to take revenge.
However, just after he was anxious for several days, he received an invitation letter. Did Han Fei's staff send it by mistake? Or did Han Fei want to humiliate him in person?
To go? Or not to go? This is a question. As an individual, Huang Hexiang does not want to go, but as a company owner, he has to go. There are more than 300 theaters. A theater chain of this size has been ranked among the top 20 in the mainland.
With so many theaters suddenly missing, can the company's movies still guarantee box office success?
So, Huang Hexiang finally gritted his teeth after a long time of ideological construction. However, when he arrived, he found that Han Fei had no intention of targeting him, no, it should be said that he was ignoring him, which made Huang Hexiang even more uneasy.
After the visit, it was natural to treat everyone to a meal as usual. Han Fei also began to toast everyone frequently. Li Junmiao, as a hidden person, also helped to liven up the atmosphere. After all, Han Fei suddenly changed from a competitor to a collaborator.
Friends, in fact, many film and television company bosses and senior executives have not yet come to their senses.
"Mr. Huang, let's have a drink? Let's just regard the past as a passing thing and forget the grudges with a smile. You are the senior, and I will rely on your support more in the future."
In fact, when Han Fei walked towards Huang Hexiang, the entire private room was quiet. They had even imagined in their minds the scene of Han Fei hitting Huang Hexiang on the head with a wine bottle. However, what they didn't expect was that Han Fei actually took the initiative to talk to Huang Hexiang.
They were reconciled, and their attitude was still so low.
Huang Hexiang also didn't expect that Han Fei would actually toast him, and he would do so in a junior manner. In the past, when the two sides were competitors, Han Fei was not so polite.
Huang Hexiang was stunned for a while, and then he came to his senses and said movedly: "Don't say that, Mr. Han. Mr. Huang was narrow-minded in the past. Please take care of Mr. Han in the future."
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire box became lively again.
Li Junmiao looked at Han Fei and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Whether a person can achieve great things depends not on how tenacious he is in adversity, but on his ability to see himself clearly in good times.
Obviously, Han Fei is a person who can see himself clearly at every stage. In the past, Han Fei, as a competitor, competed with Huang Hexiang, and always had the upper hand. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was beaten. Now it is the time.
When he was feeling proud, no one would say anything if he stepped on Huang Hexiang a few times.
However, Han Fei took the initiative to reconcile with Huang Hexiang in a low profile. This shows his mind and vision. It is obvious that Han Fei is already dealing with the problem from the perspective of a theater owner. Trampling on Huang Hexiang can indeed vent his anger, but it will inevitably give him trouble.
The film and television company executives present here left the impression that they were bullying others.
You must know that there are actually many people here who have grievances with Han Fei. When the movie was released, who didn't make trouble behind his back? Are they also worried that Han Fei will treat them the same as he treated Huang Hexiang?
"You are young and promising!" Li Junmiao couldn't help but sigh, and had to admit that when he was Han Fei's age, he did not have such a big heart.
Obviously, the senior executives of other film and television companies have the same view as Li Junmiao. Whether it is investing or looking for partners, the most important thing is to look at people. The previous incident of Feng Chi is still fresh in everyone's mind. To be honest, in my heart
I can't help but feel a little confused. Now it seems that it's not that Han Fei is young and frivolous, but that Feng Chi has gone too far.
The guests and hosts had a great time, and after the meal, Han Fei was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes.
"Oh, it's true that you have such a drinking capacity that you can still compete with others." Li Yanan carried Han Fei home and wiped him with a hot towel distressedly, not forgetting to complain a few times.
Han Fei smiled and suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar. He remembered that Dong Jie took care of Han Xiao when he got drunk occasionally and complained about him.
"Oh, don't make trouble, you are still drunk and causing mischief." Li Yanan couldn't help but struggled shyly when Han Fei held his hand.
Han Fei wanted to say something more, but he couldn't open his eyes at all.
The next day, when Han Fei woke up, Li Yanan had already gone to work. There was a glass of milk and a simple sandwich set on the dining table.
"Hey, when will this girl learn Chinese food?" Han Fei complained, but his heart was still warm.
While eating, he turned on the TV. What Han Fei didn't expect was that the news of the establishment of "Flying Bird Cinema" was actually on the local news.
However, the theater chain has been established, and there are still many things that need to be done. Because we don’t know when the ban on theaters will be lifted, so during this period, we can only practice our internal skills. Li Yanan began to train all employees. Since the theater chain
After the company was established, Li Yanan applied to be transferred as general manager. The reason was that after the company's rules and regulations were improved, ordinary daily management was no longer interesting.
Well, we don’t understand how strong women think, and we don’t dare to ask, so Han Fei had no choice but to agree.
Compared with the film industry, TV and online dramas have actually not been greatly affected. On the contrary, they are even growing. Everyone is watching dramas at home during this period. Many netizens said that they not only finished watching new dramas, but also many teenagers.
I’ve finished watching all the dramas from years ago.
With the full resumption of work in the entertainment industry, some variety shows can finally start recording. Han Fei also received many invitations, but Jiang Yan declined them all.
He really couldn't push it away, so he had to take action himself.
"Teacher He, hello, hello, long time no see."
Teacher He joked: "Oh, it's really difficult to invite you to a show."
"Hey, haven't I been very busy lately? There are a lot of things going on after the establishment of the theater chain. Please be patient." Han Fei said with a smile.
Teacher He said: "It's not now. It will take two or three months to officially record the life we long for. It's just being prepared. I'll make an appointment with you first. The ban on theaters should be lifted on October 1, and [I'm Not the God of Medicine] should also be available."
Are you doing some publicity?"
Having said that, Han Fei has no reason to refuse. Indeed, if the ban can be lifted on October 1, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will definitely be released in the first wave of prime time slots.
"Okay, Mr. He, just call me in advance when the time comes." Generally speaking, there is no labor fee for such programs for publicity purposes. Of course, normally invited guests still have to be paid.
Speaking of which, Han Fei is also an "old guest" in life that he yearns for. He is not so resistant to this kind of slow variety show, and just treats it as a vacation.
Time has quietly arrived in August, and the domestic epidemic has been basically controlled. At the same time, in order to avoid overseas imports, Wai Guoren holding foreign passports has also been refused entry to the country, and the entertainment industry, which has been restricted, has finally received approval to reopen.
Of course, if the entertainment industry wants to reopen, it must also comply with various national disinfection indicators.
This has also made many entertainment companies breathe a sigh of relief, and finally no longer have to watch helplessly lose money. However, the market's consumption power and consumer confidence will not be restored all at once.
Some movies that were originally intended to take advantage of consumers' retaliation for consumption were sold out at the box office. Looking at the poor attendance data, Han Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly. If this year continues like this, what little money he has left will be lost.
You have to pay for it too.
However, Han Fei still decided to let "I'm Not the God of Medicine" register in the eleventh slot, which made Jiang Qinghou and others a little worried.
"Old Han, why don't we wait for the Lunar New Year period? You have also seen how miserable these films are. The highest box office in a single day is less than 10 million."
Han Fei shook his head: "We can't wait any longer. If you think so, other film and television companies must also think so. But if you want to restore the audience's confidence, can you rely on these shoddy films? Everyone is hiding the good films.
, the end result is that audiences are becoming less and less enthusiastic about going to cinemas to watch movies."
This is definitely not an alarmist statement. What is the motivation for audiences to go to the cinema to watch movies? Good movies are the first prerequisite. If the movies shown in the cinema are all bad movies, who is willing to spend so much money to go to the cinema? What a waste of money?
If things continue like this, the audience market that has been cultivated with great difficulty will be lost. This is the most terrifying thing.
When Jiang Qinghou and others heard this, they could only sigh: "It seems that we will have to swim upstream again this time."
"Don't we have enough time to go upstream?" Han Fei said with a smile.
"Haha~~~" Everyone also burst into laughter, and there was a sense of heroism in the laughter. Yes, except for them, who else in the entire film and television industry can always be retrograde like them?
The so-called corporate culture is accumulated bit by bit in this way. All companies that can be called great are not because they are rich, but because of the spirit engraved in their bones.
It's like no matter how rich Penguin is, no one will think it is a great company because it doesn't deserve it!
Now that it has been decided to release it on November 1, publicity work will naturally start to get busy. In addition, Han Fei has also begun to negotiate with other theaters about the release.
In fact, since the last time Han Fei was angry at Byte, the major theater chains have a good impression of Han Fei. Now Han Fei is also the owner of the theater chain and has become a member of everyone. Although he is a little reluctant, it is over.
, and no one could stop him, so he had no choice but to recognize his status.
In addition, the movies released during the opening period were not good, and everyone was crying when they saw the loss day by day. Now that Han Fei finally stepped forward, everyone was naturally overjoyed.
In the entire Chinese film industry, when it comes to whose films are the most influential, Han Fei ranks in the top five. When it comes to box office appeal, Han Fei says he is second, and probably no one dares to say he is first.
Naturally, the film schedules given by major theater chains are also astonishingly high, starting directly at 48%. It is not so much that they have seen this movie, but rather that they are optimistic about Han Fei. He seems to have never disappointed anyone. , except for peers.
After finalizing the release date, the leading actors of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" have also begun their promotional journey. Shen Yiming is still not happy to appear on variety shows, especially reality shows. Han Fei also knows that this person is not suitable for the atmosphere of reality shows. , so I had to arrange for him to appear on some interview programs.
Speaking of which, Shen Yiming is also grateful for playing the role of Cheng Yong this time. Otherwise, given his previous income level, it would be a miracle that he did not starve to death during the epidemic.
Therefore, Shen Yiming agreed happily to Han Fei's arrangement.
Shen Yiming was not suitable for a reality show, and the other actors were not well-known enough, so the burden of publicity fell on Han Fei.
"Oh, it seems that I was born to be a hard worker. When I become a boss, I still have to show off." Han Fei couldn't help but complain on the way to Yunnan.
This time, Han Fei naturally went to participate in "Longing for Life". It is said that the first episode has been recorded, and he went just in time for the second episode.
When he came out of the airport, the car to pick him up had been waiting for him. Han Fei saw that there was still a photographer in the front row: "Oh, is this about to start? You guys really didn't delay anything."
The photographer and the driver both laughed.
As usual, you have to make a phone call before going. Before Han Fei called, he asked: "There shouldn't be any rice planting or carrot pulling this season, right?"
No one answered, and the phone was connected. Han Fei held his voice and asked: "Hello, is this the Mushroom House?"
"Hey, haha, stop pretending, I heard it all." came a female voice.
Han Fei knew as soon as he heard that there was no chance. It was Zifeng who answered the phone. This little girl was still very familiar with his voice.
"Why are you still here? How many times has this been going on? Has everyone taken your place?"
Zifeng said arrogantly: "That's right, actually I didn't want to come, but the audience said they wouldn't watch without me. Alas, the popularity is so high."
"Well, your shameless look is quite similar to my style back then." Han Fei scolded with a smile.
While they were chatting, Teacher He also came over. When he heard it was Han Fei, he smiled and said: "Oh, you are finally here. Okay, we are old acquaintances, so don't order. You can just follow us and eat whatever we do." Already."
"No, I really want to eat your Yunnan pineapple rice..."
"Hello? Sorry, the signal is not very good. What did you say? I'll hang up first!" Teacher He and Zifeng laughed and hung up the phone, not forgetting to high-five in celebration.
Han Fei looked very hurt: "Oh, they shouldn't be allowed to know who I am. These days, the more familiar we are, the less status we have!"
The photographer and director laughed heartily. The effect of this episode will be particularly good when broadcasted.
