Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh Huaying comes out
Public opinion on the Internet was quickly brought under control, and everything was under Wu Tian's control.
Even because of this incident, the theater chain seemed to be a victim. Mubai Entertainment seemed to be using it for the purpose of hype, but they didn't expect that the theater chain would respond quickly. This is the scene in the eyes of the public.
Of course, this is only the "fact" that some netizens believe.
For events related to the upper class of capital, online public opinion is basically useless. Netizens can't do anything. This is a game between the upper class of capital.
If Mubai Entertainment has no way to break through, it will have no choice but to follow the path they have set. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, they must grit their teeth and go on.
Because if you keep going, you still have a chance to succeed, but if you don’t keep going, you will definitely not succeed.
The theater chain did not block the road, but it greatly limited the chance.
The theater chain is the most important part of the movie, so they are not afraid that Mubai Entertainment will flip the table and leave. After all, Mubai Entertainment has no choice but to go down this road.
Although the public opinion on the Internet quickly lost its influence, Huaying still took notice.
After all, it is an official company, and public opinion refers to it as the Big Seven. It is also included in it. Regarding its reputation, Huaying still cares about it.
This matter was known to the boss of Huaying. He wondered why there was such public opinion news. He had never heard anyone say it!
So he found Fang Mocheng. After all, Fang Mocheng was the manager of Hua Cinema Line, and the news on the Internet also referred to the theater chain's affairs. He should know about this matter.
"what happened?"
Fang Mocheng was in the general manager's office of China Film Group at the moment. He received a call from the boss and rushed over immediately.
This matter may not be explained clearly over the phone, so it needs to be reported in person.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. The main reason is that Jiaxing teamed up with the other five major companies to stop Chen Mubai and wanted us to lower the schedule of "Buried Alive" to their movies." Fang Mocheng said: "However, I did not agree."
Huaying is a state-owned company. If Fang Mocheng was involved in this incident, he would have to take the blame, so he told the story of the incident.
He has the right to change the number of movies scheduled. If things don't get into trouble, it will be fine. If things get into trouble, he will be held responsible. China Film still attaches great importance to the impact.
If it were an ordinary movie, it would be fine if he did it, as long as he didn't get caught.
Mubai Entertainment is different. It has produced many excellent works. In addition, it is vigorously developing the cultural industry, so it is considered a key target of care. If he deliberately targets Mubai Entertainment, he will be unlucky if he is found out.
In addition, this matter has become a big deal, and several other companies are involved. If he gets involved again and this matter is exposed again, it will definitely have a huge negative impact, and Fang Mocheng will definitely be responsible for it.
Therefore, when Jiaxing approached him, he directly rejected the other party's proposal. He did not want to get involved in the whirlpool of this matter at all.
Later, Chen Mubai came to find him. He had a good impression of Chen Mubai and was willing to add some films to him. He could distinguish between right and wrong in such big matters and would not be used as a weapon.
Huaying is different from other companies. You can do whatever you want with a private company, but not with a state-owned company. It will be really bad luck.
Although the other party did not explicitly say that they were going to deal with Mubai Entertainment, the meaning in those words was very clear. He wanted to increase his film schedule and reduce the film schedule of "Buried Alive". This was because he wanted to mess with Chen Mubai...
Fang Mocheng told the boss the whole story. The boss had no expression on his face and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Why do they want to deal with Mubai Entertainment?" The boss didn't understand either.
There was a reason for Jiaxing to deal with Mubai Entertainment. After all, the two sides had a grudge. How could Jiaxing be able to persuade the other five companies?
The country encourages competition. Only with competition can progress be achieved. This will encourage everyone to move forward and is also a driving force.
However, we do not encourage this kind of competition that involves frame-up and exclusion, because this method will bury some good works and prevent the works of some small companies from getting ahead. If this continues for a long time, practitioners will lose confidence.
This is why even if the other five major companies want to deal with Mubai Entertainment, they will not ban his movies from being released, but will only make some manipulations in the film schedule, because they cannot go too far, otherwise they will break the rules and will be liquidated.
The same is true for them when dealing with Extraordinary Entertainment. They can only grab resources and deal with them secretly, but they will not use ultra-line methods. This is the default unspoken rule.
However, after all, Feifan Entertainment has a big business and is not like Mubai Entertainment which has no background. They have their own theater chain, plus they have friendly forces. Although they will lag behind in the theater chain, they will not be stuck.
Their methods of dealing with Extraordinary Entertainment are mainly in other aspects, such as the production investment of film and television dramas, the selection of actors, and the competition for program resource announcements. These are the main battlefields.
"Is it because Mubai Entertainment threatens them?" the boss thought to himself.
"No, no matter how fast Mubai Entertainment develops, it is impossible for those six forces to join forces. Moreover, in terms of movies, they are also working on a film. Everyone's resources are not integrated together. There must be other reasons!"
"What is it..." Suddenly a light flashed in the boss's eyes: "Are you afraid that Mubai Entertainment will become the next extraordinary entertainment?"
"Mubai Entertainment itself has a very good development prospect. In addition, Chen Mubai has outstanding personal abilities and has many good works. He also has Tao Yaoyao and Tao Group by his side. Are these people anxious?"
The boss thought about Chen Mubai and immediately thought of the six major rivals Mubai Entertainment. No wonder they value such a company that has only been established for two years!
"So that's the case, then I can't sit idly by and do nothing." The boss said sternly.
Fang Mocheng was a little confused. What did this mean? He wanted to stand up for Chen Mubai?
So he asked cautiously: "Mr. Sun, do we want to intervene?"
"Yes, this kind of internal fighting is meaningless. They went too far." Sun Ping looked cold.
"But will they listen to us?" Fang Mocheng said helplessly: "This time I can feel that they are very determined and they don't seem to give up so easily."
Fang Mocheng also guessed the reason why the other six companies dealt with Chen Mubai. People in their position were not so knowledgeable, especially in the workplace where there were more overt and covert fights. Many of them had climbed up through the war.
So when he reported this matter, he did not speak for Mubai Entertainment, but kept a neutral attitude. Otherwise, he would be considered biased and label Sun Ping's mind.
No matter which side he leans towards, it's not good for him.
But he must have some sympathy for Chen Mubai in his heart. He was indeed the victim in this matter.
Sun Ping's reaction also shows that he is in favor of Chen Mubai. After all, he is a talent and has high attainments in music. He even had two songs, "Light Years Away" and "In the Name of the Father", available abroad.
A certain amount of influence, this is an extremely rare sight.
There are very few singers in China whose songs are sung to the world. The singers who have this honor are all superstars!
"I'll try it first." Sun Ping was a little helpless.
Indeed, as Fang Mocheng said, what the Six Majors did was reasonable and did not cross the line. Can he convince the other party?
In front of Fang Mocheng, Sun Ping contacted the CEOs of several other companies, trying to find out what they were talking about.
"Mr. Sun, I really don't mean to deliberately deal with Mubai Entertainment, otherwise I won't schedule movies for him. My own movie will be released at this time, so I will definitely schedule more movies, and you also know the production lineup.
It cost a lot of money!”
After Sun Ping said a few words, the other party's voice came on the phone.
The other party then said unhurriedly: "The gimmick of "Buried Alive" is quite popular on the Internet, but everyone is generally not optimistic about it. Besides, even if Chen Mubai really made what he said was a "one-person movie", would it be useful?
You also know that movie fans pay attention to the production lineup and actors when watching movies. Even if this kind of movie becomes popular based on publicity stunts, the attendance rate will not be good. This type of marketing movie has never happened before."
No matter what he said, the other party had this Tai Chi attitude, and what he said was flawless and well-founded, leaving Sun Ping speechless.
The other party's methods are within reasonable limits, and he can only persuade and cannot really ask the other party to do anything.
"Buried Alive" was indeed very successful in terms of marketing, greatly attracting the attention of netizens.
But what the other party said is right. Movies that rely on gimmicks to promote movies usually have poor attendance. This has happened before.
In addition, movies attach great importance to the starring and production lineup, because they are related to the quality of the film.
As Chen Mubai said, "Buried Alive" has enough gimmicks, but the rest is unknown, especially Chen Mubai himself has never starred in any film works, nor has he directed it.
In the theater's mind, this movie is indeed not considered to be of good quality, because no matter how you look at it, it is the prototype of a "bad movie"...
For this kind of movie, there is no problem for the theater chain to give low-ranking films. Unless the reputation and box office are huge, the theater chain will adjust the film schedule later.
However, both parties are pretending to be confused. The Big Six will not give up to Chen Mubai. Even if the box office of "Buried Alive" is okay, the film schedule will not increase too much. Even if it does, it will be garbage time, because the box office increase will be limited.
Sun Ping would not expect the other party to suddenly increase the film schedule for "Buried Alive". This benefit is far less than the threat Mubai Entertainment brings to them.
In order to ensure their transcendent status, they will not allow any company to become a threat to them, and will block the other party no matter what.
The name "Seven Big" is so useful and it greatly increases the company's visibility.
Just like a program has resources, if one is from the top seven companies and the other is from the rest of the companies, even if it is super strong, the other party will give priority to the top seven companies when choosing. This is the aura of reputation.
If one more force is added, the halo they possess will be weakened, not to mention all other resources!
Sun Pingping was helpless in response to their rhetoric.
That makes sense!
They didn't ban "Buried Alive" either. Even the reason for low-ranking films was well-founded. What else could he say?
If "Buried Alive" had a stronger lineup and the other party lowered the film schedule, Sun Ping could still help. But from all aspects, "Buried Alive" is indeed the kind of "off-the-beaten-path" movie, and he can't force the other party to increase the film schedule.
, loss of their interests.
Although Huaying is the leader, it cannot let him act according to his ideas without any reason, causing the theater chain to lose profits!
