"Then it will be early November." Lu Fang said: "It just so happens that these days are relatively free and there are no movies to be released."
"There is a TV series to be released on the 8th. It is a big production. If you avoid it a few days in advance, you should be able to stabilize some of the viewing groups."
"On the 8th? What drama will be released?" Chen Mubai asked.
"Speaking of which, I have a bit of a fate with you. The starring role in that drama was Xu Fei. You originally invited her when you were filming "Struggle". Later, she was still considering it, so you replaced her with Shang Ran." Lu Just say it.
"Later, she talked about this matter in front of the media, which insinuated that you were not generous enough and did not give her time to think about it..."
"You definitely don't pay attention to these things, but your fans did scold you back. After all, you waited for a few days and there was no response. Fans all know this, and I guess she is also feeling uncomfortable mentally."
"That's it." Chen Mubai nodded.
He really didn't know about this. He immediately went to film the drama after finding actors. How could he have time to pay attention to these things?
He really didn't know about these news, but even if he knew, he wouldn't respond. Why would such a person care about her?
"This is also an urban drama. Speaking of which, you are actually enemies." Lu Fang said with a smile.
"Then this is our biggest competitor in the near future?" Chen Mubai said.
The two dramas were released within a few days of each other, and since they are both urban dramas, the audience is almost the same, so they are naturally competitors.
If it's a costume drama, it's better because the audience is different.
After all, people who like watching urban dramas are not the same type of people as those who like costume dramas. Even if it has an impact, it is not that big.
Unlike fierce competition in the same genre, the degree of overlap among audiences is very high.
When the last "Struggle" was released, it was an urban criminal investigation drama. Although they are both urban dramas, the categories are still different. That drama focused on solving crimes and suspense, and it was far less threatening than this drama.
It is indeed a bit difficult for both dramas to meet urban opponents when they are released!
"I'm going to check out the news about that drama." After Chen Mubai finished speaking, he began to search for relevant news about the drama "Our Time".
"Released on November 8th, urban life drama, starring Xu Fei, Yuen Long..."
Chen Mubai looked at the news related to this drama and found that the basic information was available.
The director and cast are not bad, and the category is also the same. It is indeed a strong opponent!
The reason why Chen Mubai checked the news related to this drama was to know more about his opponent. After all, this is a strong opponent and one they need to face head-on.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Two TV series with similar schedules and in the same category are bound to compete fiercely, so they need to be more careful in their promotions in order to win as many viewers as possible.
"Producer, Starway Entertainment!?" After seeing this message, Chen Mubai was stunned.
"This drama is invested and filmed by Starway Entertainment?"
Chen Mubai went to Lu Fang and asked, "Brother Lu, is the drama "Our Time" invested by Starway Entertainment?"
"Ah?" Lu Fang was also surprised: "I really haven't noticed this, let me take a look!"
Then, he saw that it was indeed produced by Starway Entertainment. No wonder the male lead in it was a star of Starway Entertainment.
Then this drama is a Starway Entertainment drama!
Now not only are the two dramas of the same genre, but they are also competing in the same schedule. Now even the investors behind both parties are enemies!
The producer and distribution company are Starway Entertainment. This drama will be broadcast on Beijing Beijing TV on November 8th. This is a TV series jointly produced by Beijing TV and Starway Entertainment.
Therefore, when Jingbei Satellite TV came to participate in the new drama viewing event, although I had the idea of purchasing it, it was not strong.
Because their TV station has a drama of this type, and the production lineup is not bad!
On the one hand, they came here to know the quality of this drama, and on the other hand, they thought they could buy it if the price was low, so the two dramas would be released at staggered times.
Originally, after the purchase of the TV series was completed, the broadcast time was decided after discussion between the two parties, which was no problem.
However, the price was much higher than they expected, so they simply gave up.
"Brother Lu, they have announced the release date and promoted it for a few days. They probably won't withdraw it. I want to go head-to-head with them and compete at the same time!" Chen Mubai said calmly.
His tone was very calm, without any fluctuation, as if he showed no emotion.
However, his attitude shows a change in mood, and he has always been like this regarding all matters related to Starway Entertainment.
As long as it has something to do with Xingcheng, they will collide with each other.
When she first debuted, she chose contestants from Starway Entertainment as her opponents. Shen Meng was also targeted in "God of Song". She didn't give in just because she was the last champion and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer. Instead, she chose
Face it head on.
This is his attitude.
For everything that happened to Starway Entertainment, he will do everything he can to get revenge on the other party!
However, no one said that he would retaliate, but what Starway Entertainment did to him did arouse public outrage, which is what it should be.
Who doesn't want to avenge himself? Unless he doesn't have the ability, the choice he makes will be like Chen Mubai's.
Of course, Chen Mubai himself is not sure of absolute victory, but he is willing to fight. This was the case on the stage, and it is still the case now!
The release date of the drama "The Age of Naked Wedding" has not yet been determined, but in theory it can be released anytime.
It's just that if we continue fighting like this, it may lead to a lose-lose outcome, and both parties will definitely be affected.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. We'll focus on publicity in the past few days. You can negotiate with the Southern Province TV station." Lu Fang nodded.
He agreed to Chen Mubai's request.
He had no reason to disagree. The hatred between Chen Mubai and Starway Entertainment was irresolvable. As long as both parties were in the entertainment industry, there would always be times of collision.
When this matter ends, it means that one of the parties has withdrawn from the entertainment industry, and no one can guard against the other.
There are often unfavorable news about Mubai Entertainment and Chen Mubai on the Internet. Many of them are small tricks done by Starway Entertainment in private. Everyone is well aware of this matter.
Although it doesn't do much, it is disgusting.
For people who like Chen Mubai, they know that these are false, but they can confuse some passerby fans and give people a bad first impression of Chen Mubai, which is somewhat influential.
"It doesn't take long. You go and sign a contract with Nan Province TV Station first, and then negotiate this matter." Lu Fang said.
Although this drama is produced by Mubai Entertainment, the decision to release it is not theirs and needs to be discussed with the other party.
"Okay, I will call them first, and after Yaoyao's songs come out, I will finish the editing before leaving." Chen Mubai said.
Mubai Entertainment is preparing for a simultaneous release on November 8th and is already preparing for promotion.
However, this information has not been released yet. After all, it needs to be confirmed to ensure a specific broadcast date before it can be widely publicized.
Chen Mubai had notified Yao Yongbo of the matter in advance. Yao Yongbo knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately reported it to his superiors.
After all, facing toughness will really affect the show. Once you lose to the opponent in the first phase of the confrontation, it will be difficult to get up again later.
Because "Our Time" has already announced in advance that it will be broadcast on November 8th, if they announce that "The Age of Naked Marriage" will be broadcast on November 8th, it means that Southern Satellite TV is ready to compete in the ring, that is, to compete with the other party.
High and low!
If they lose, the next day's entertainment news can predict that "The Age of Naked Marriage" is not as good as "Our Time", the ratings will be crushed, or other news.
In short, everyone will exaggerate for the sake of traffic.
The loser will definitely become a stepping stone for the winner. Once a large area of press releases is this kind of news, others will define "The Age of Naked Wedding" as a loser and will naturally look at the other party's works.
, which will have a great impact on subsequent ratings.
...
"Leader, what should I do?" Yao Yongbo asked.
The next day, Yao Yongbo received a call from Chen Mubai and learned about the incident.
Although his tone didn't change much, his expression was still a little anxious.
He couldn't have predicted that something like this happened suddenly!
If he disagrees, it will definitely make Mubai Entertainment unhappy, and he may even stop cooperating with them. After all, the two parties only reached an agreement verbally, and the specific contract has not been signed yet!
They couldn't persuade them about the key thing, because the reasons given by the other party made them unable to refuse.
The entanglement between Starway Entertainment and Chen Mubai is well known in the industry. This is an irresolvable conflict.
The reason why Chen Mubai has this attitude is because his opponent is Starway Entertainment.
The leader's expression was also very serious, and he was engaged in an ideological struggle.
"What do you think?" Suddenly, the leader asked helplessly.
He didn't want to give up "The Era of Naked Marriage", otherwise he wouldn't be so entangled.
In particular, Yao Yongbo came back and told him that the quality of this drama exceeded their expectations. Coupled with the influence of the songs and the two leading actors, this drama may not be much worse than "Struggle".
"I..." Yao Yongbo didn't know what to say.
He really couldn't say anything about this. Once he did, if the outcome was wrong, he would have to take the blame.
Seeing Yao Yongbo's hesitant expression, the leader said directly: "Just tell me, I want to hear your true thoughts about this drama."
Yao Yongbo hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I think this drama is good!"
"The quality is really not bad. Everyone watching the show has this idea. The competition is quite fierce."
"The main reason is that the cast is not good, so everyone thinks the price is a bit too high. They feel that the impact of Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao is limited and not as powerful as those well-known actors. This drama is all newcomers, so they don't dare to bet on it.
!”
"Actually, if this drama is broadcast normally, I believe that even if the ratings are not high in the first broadcast, they will get higher and higher in the future. The suspense and storyline are very good, and the reviews of the songs are not bad. It may still become a hit."
The success of "Struggle" is not only due to the good story, but also the promotion of other well-known actors. Those people have appeared in many works and have certain fan support, so the premiere is not bad.
In addition, the story is good, and the subsequent ratings have steadily increased. It is also because of the first day's ratings and the subsequent stable quality and reputation that this drama has continued to rise.
However, the situation faced by "The Age of Naked Wedding" is different from that of "Struggle", and in every aspect it is not as good as the scene when "Struggle" was released.
A powerful opponent (of the same type), there are no well-known actors to star in it, there is no strong appeal, and some can only build momentum through starring and publicity.
"Are you very optimistic about this drama?" the leader asked.
Yao Yongbo nodded. Anyway, he had already said it, so this nod was enough.
The leader fell into thinking again.
He asked Yao Yongbo again about his attitude because Yao Yongbo is the only person who has watched this drama, and his attitude has very important reference significance.
He was the one who originally discovered "Struggle", and his vision is somewhat unique.
"Okay, I agree to Mubai Entertainment's plan!" the leader made the final decision.
They will fight again this time!
"Huh!?" Yao Yongbo looked at the leader in surprise, not expecting that he had really made this decision.
To be honest, he was surprised. After all, TV stations generally focus on stability and rarely take such radical actions.
Although he just praised "The Era of Naked Marriage", in his heart he believed that the leader would not make too risky a decision, so he let it go and expressed his true thoughts.
Furthermore, since he supports Chen Mubai in his heart, Starway Entertainment is indeed a bit disgusting.
As an industry insider, he hates this kind of behavior.
"However, there are supplementary conditions, allowing Mubai Entertainment to increase publicity efforts and single out the conflicts between the two sides. We will do the same in secret!" the leader added.
"I'll contact them right away!" Yao Yongbo said, left the office and called Chen Mubai.
