Chapter 524: Mubai Entertainment's backer, a huge threat
Jiaxing Economy.
Because they wanted a role in "Buried Alive" and were rejected, they have already implemented their plan, which is that they will not reconcile with Mubai Entertainment.
In this case, the previous grudges have always existed. Shang Ran is still doing well in Mubai Entertainment, starring in "Let's Get Married" and promoting various variety shows.
This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Jiaxing's economy.
Mubai Entertainment's attempt to contain Shang Ran failed, and instead they were slapped in the face.
This incident somewhat affected Jiaxing's reputation in the industry.
When they banned Shang Ran, the industry knew it. Now that Mubai Entertainment is doing this, it is really a slap in Jiaxing's face.
It’s not that Jiaxing didn’t take measures against Mubai Entertainment, it just failed.
Mubai Entertainment's success was achieved by stepping on Jiaxing's face. Not only did their efforts to contain it fail, but they also made some people in the industry dissatisfied with them.
In the eyes of those people, if he had not listened to Jiaxing and participated in "The Age of Naked Marriage", he might be even more famous now!
"The Age of Naked Marriage" is a hit drama, and the fame of the actors has increased a lot. Even some of the newcomers and supporting actors have become quite famous, and they have been getting film appointments.
It's a pity that Yu Fei, who had already confirmed his role, was rejected because of Jiaxing.
He himself has resentment in his heart. It is said that some companies have contacted him in advance and want to sign him away when his contract expires.
Yu Fei's rise is not slow and his resources are not bad. "Struggle" really made him popular. Jiaxing definitely wants to keep him.
But because of the decisions made in "The Age of Naked Marriage", the possibility of keeping him has been reduced a lot.
Moreover, his contract period is about to expire, so even if you use the threat of hiding him in advance to get him to renew the contract in advance, it will be useless. It is better to use the last time to let him make more money for the company.
Yu Fei's schedule is really tight during this period, and the company wants to squeeze out the last of his value.
Regarding the possible release of "Buried Alive", shareholders have started discussions together again.
"I think we should just sit back and wait and see what Mubai Entertainment does." Someone said: "We don't know their decision-making, and rushing to make no targeted plans is nothing more than smearing. But if they don't want to release it, all this is in vain."
Unlike Starway Entertainment, which wants to dig holes for Mubai Entertainment, Jiaxing wants to take countermeasures.
"The effect of public opinion bombardment is actually limited, as we have seen before." someone said.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Do you have any other ideas?" Two people looked at the person who just spoke, and everyone looked over.
"What's the most important thing about a movie?" the man continued.
Everyone's eyes flashed because of these words.
"It's a film schedule!" The man said word by word: "No matter what, Chen Mubai will eventually go to the theater. We can ask the navy to smear it, and they can also ask the navy to publicize it. We will fight back and forth, and it will cost us a lot of money."
Our money may not be useful yet.”
This sentence reminded many shareholders of bad memories.
They did this when they first released the album, spending some money to guide public opinion and set the pace. As a result, Mubai Entertainment used their methods to promote the album, and their actions actually contributed to the success of the other party.
They found out about it only after the fact.
But it was too late. Only then did they know why Mubai Entertainment did not clarify the matter at that time, but instead allowed public opinion to ferment.
This shareholder is right. What if Mubai Entertainment strikes like this again?
If the quality of "Buried Alive" is not so bad, the smear campaign on the Internet has actually reduced everyone's confidence in the movie to the lowest level. It turns out that the movie is okay and not as rubbish as imagined, which may bring about a reversal in the movie's reputation!
This is not an unheard-of thing. As long as you don’t watch a movie with high expectations and the quality of the movie is good, you generally won’t be disappointed.
For example, "Buried Alive" was denied by major public figures, and many people are criticizing it.
As a result, when the movie was released, everyone went to see it and found, "Hey, it's not bad!"
This kind of sound will actually arouse the curiosity of others, and can indeed increase the box office of the movie.
As long as the topic is curbed, the box office of the movie can be limited.
However, with the advent of the Internet age and the rapid development of self-media, it has become difficult to control speech like the traditional media did in the past. This basically does not work.
"We can curb them from the source and ask theaters to reduce their film schedules and arrange screening times in late night and garbage hours. In this way, no matter how good the quality of the film is, the box office will inevitably be affected!" The shareholder gave his own answer.
.
When everyone heard what he said, their eyes flashed.
Yes, what he said is indeed correct!
The most important thing for a movie is the schedule. As long as this is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the fate of the movie.
"It can't be done, we don't have theater resources." said a shareholder.
Jiaxing Economics is an artist company. Even if it is one of the seven, it does not have the resources of a theater chain. The development directions of the seven major companies are different. Some focus on theaters, some media, and some post-production...
"Yes." Someone nodded in agreement.
"We don't have it, but others do!"
"We can communicate with others and let them deal with Mubai Entertainment."
Some people don't believe it: "It's impossible..."
How could others deal with Chen Mubai because of what Jiaxing said?
There is no conflict of interest between the two parties, and the theater is all about profit, so there is no reason to deal with Chen Mubai.
"First of all, Chen Mubai has always said that there is only one actor in this movie, so his production is not big and it is not competitive compared with other movies."
"Secondly, Mubai Entertainment has stretched its hand too far. It has been developing very fast in the past two years. There are also people who don't want to see Mubai Entertainment grow rapidly."
"Furthermore, we are looking for media companies. We are all in the top seven. No one wants to witness the emergence of an entertainment company that threatens our status, nor does we want to add another one to become the [big eight]!"
"Don't forget the relationship between Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao. It's not that he doesn't have a backer behind him, it's just that he hasn't exerted his strength yet."
This shareholder's words made everyone present look solemn.
The production lineup of "Buried Alive" is indeed not good, so it does not have an advantage in theaters, so the film schedule given will not be high. If we start from theaters, there is no chance that they will lower the film schedule of "Buried Alive", and the feasibility is as good as
The success rate is very high.
The theater chains are basically in the hands of seven major theaters, and the largest theater chain is in the hands of Huaying. This is a state-owned media company and the strongest one!
The remaining theater chains are in the hands of the other five top companies, and everyone has some control over them. The top seven control 50% of the domestic theater chain resources, which is an extremely huge resource!
The theater chain is based on profit. If Jiaxing comes to talk to them, there is no chance of success.
Moreover, saying some alarmist words will also wake up those companies. Mubai Entertainment's recent development has indeed been a bit fast, and even they have to pay attention.
As long as the theater resources held by the Seven Majors are taken care of, the rest will be easily solved.
Some of those theater chains are in the hands of medium-sized entertainment companies, such as Feifan Entertainment, Starway Entertainment...
Find them and tell them the request, and it will be easier to succeed.
As for the theaters in private hands, most of them are small theaters. These have little impact, are small in scale, and can contribute even less to the box office. They also play closely with popular movies, and only popular movies make money!
Jiaxing is one of the top seven, so it still has some influence.
The most difficult thing to convince is China Film Group, but even if it is not convinced, it will be fine. The theater chain it owns is limited, and the improvement of "Buried Alive" is limited.
As long as the media companies that own theater chains are persuaded, the containment of Chen Mubai will be completed. It will also be the most direct and huge blow!
No one wants to see a company that threatens their status come into being. Even if Feifan Entertainment enters the entertainment industry with the backing of Feifei Real Estate, everyone tacitly suppresses Feifan Entertainment and prevents it from growing into a company of the same level as the "Big Seven"
company.
Although Mubai Entertainment has developed rapidly, it has not yet reached the point where people take it seriously.
But one inevitable factor is the relationship between Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao.
If the two really get together, Tao Group will be the backer of Mubai Entertainment!
Coupled with the influence and development prospects of Mubai Entertainment, I am afraid that everyone attaches great importance to it, and it is a greater threat than Feifan Entertainment!
Because Mubai Entertainment has developed so fast and the company has produced many good works, which is far better than Feifan Entertainment. They have not produced any good works since the reorganization was completed...
No one knows whether Mubai Entertainment can continue to release hit works in the future, and the potential is huge.
So once Dow Group and Mubai Entertainment come together, the threat will be too great!
It is a huge threat to the position of the "Big Seven". We will not just sit back and ignore this matter, and it will definitely hinder it.
This is also the reason why this shareholder dares to speak out about this idea. It is not impossible, but very possible!
"That makes sense..."
A shareholder said something in the silent atmosphere.
What that person said silenced all the shareholders present. The analysis was well-founded, the reasons were sufficient, and the possibility of persuasion was very high.
"That's true. We can't just look at Mubai Entertainment, but also consider the relationships behind it. In this way, other companies will definitely agree to curb Chen Mubai's intention to enter the film and television industry."
The top seven are all involved in the film and television industry, and they are most involved in movies, which is also the basis of their status.
Chen Mubai wants to enter the film industry. If it develops, coupled with the Dow Group, it will have a great impact on them. They really don't want to give Chen Mubai this opportunity.
"Just do it."
The general manager responsible for external affairs nodded seriously and said: "I will contact several other companies and negotiate with them!"
After saying that, the meeting ended. He was going to start preparing for this matter and prepare for a rainy day.
After the meeting ended, everyone's expressions were still heavy.
They originally regarded Mubai Entertainment as a small company, but today's analysis revealed that Mubai Entertainment is not what they imagined, and everyone has a sense of crisis in their hearts.
Although these words are the words they use to persuade other companies, it is not impossible to happen. It is understandable that they feel a little heavy.
Mubai Entertainment is still promoting "Let's Get Married" and there is no news about "Buried Alive".
As time goes by, June 8th will soon come, and "Let's Get Married" will be released!
