Chen Mubai's response quickly became popular, after all, it was tit-for-tat.
Few people would put their conflicts on the table and openly attack each other, which is tantamount to offending the other party to death.
Starway Entertainment and Chen Mubai fall into this category, so they don't have this worry.
The bias of public opinion is still on Chen Mubai's side, after all, his previous experience is indeed sympathetic.
In his struggle with Xingcheng, he was like a man facing the darkness, but he was not killed. Instead, he walked out of the darkness and became the light!
Chen Mubai's public response to the public opinion that his next commercial film will slap Starway Entertainment in the face and accuse him of not being able to make commercial films, and he also satirizes that they deliberately make bad films to make money.
This makes Starway Entertainment very uncomfortable.
If they answer that it is not to make money, then it means that the quality of the movie is not good, that is, the company's production level is not good, which will have a significant impact on the company's production strength.
If it is to make money, then it is deceiving the audience, which will also cause the audience to backlash and boycott their company's works and artists.
Starway Entertainment wanted to disgust Chen Mubai, but unexpectedly, Chen Mubai was disgusted.
"It seems that what Chen Mubai said makes sense. A company as big as Starway Entertainment has produced many high-quality products in the past, but now the works are like this?"
"It does feel like a money-making project. "Heroes of Fire" has no sincerity, but makes a big fuss in promotion. Maybe it knows that no one will pay for the electronic music once it is released, so it deceives the audience more while it is not released...
..."
"No matter what, supporting Chen Mubai is so tough. Even though he can ignore Xingcheng's smear campaign, he still stands up and slaps him in the face. It's so cool!"
"Xingcheng is really shameless. He obviously doesn't have the ability to make high-quality movies, but he still accuses Chen Mubai of only making high-quality movies and not vulgar movies. Now he's been slapped in the face. It feels good."
"Harming others without benefiting oneself, this is what Starway Entertainment does, it's disgusting, I will boycott all your stuff starting today!"
"Whether you are trying to make money or the quality of your film production is not good, I will never watch any of your films again!"
Chen Mubai's response caused many netizens to openly boycott Starway Entertainment's works. They felt that Starway Entertainment was too disgusting.
Many netizens didn't know the hidden meaning of Starway Entertainment's WeChat message at first. Later, someone explained it in the comments, and some self-media news translated his hidden meaning, and everyone knew the intention of his words.
Now Chen Mubai has stood up and responded publicly, which shows that everyone's analysis is true. Coupled with Chen Mubai's secret accusation, it has allowed Starway Entertainment to shoot itself in the foot.
...
Jiaxing Economy.
Wu Tian once again felt the excitement on the Internet.
"The battle between Xingcheng and Chen Mubai is about to come to an end."
Since Chen Mubai publicly responded that his next film will be a commercial film and will be released during the Spring Festival, the results will come out at that time.
Once Chen Mubai succeeds, Xingcheng will be completely ruined.
If Chen Mubai failed, Xingcheng could still clean himself up and say that his vision was fine and everything he said was right.
But no matter what, Starway Entertainment is definitely having a hard time during this period.
Although the memory of netizens is very short, in recent days, Xingcheng has been roasted on the fire rack and unable to get off.
I'm afraid that due to external and internal troubles, the internal turmoil of Starway Entertainment is not small, and a top mid-level entertainment company may be left behind.
Looking back a few years ago, Starway Entertainment was still at the top of the list of mid-level entertainment companies. In the past few years, its strength and influence have faded a lot.
Everything started from Chen Mubai.
Ever since they abandoned Chen Mubai, Zhang Yaohui's minions who once didn't care about him have repeatedly slapped them in the face and become the main culprit for Starway Entertainment's decline!
"If I had a choice, I really wish I had chosen friendship instead of becoming enemies with Chen Mubai."
Wu Tian indeed regretted that he had repeatedly forced Chen Mubai to deal with Shang Ran, which ultimately led to this result.
At the beginning, just like Zhang Yaohui, he did not think highly of Chen Mubai and Mubai Entertainment.
To him, there is too much difference in levels between the two. They are giants in the industry, while the other party is just a small company that has just started.
Unexpectedly, this small company has developed rapidly and has become an emerging entertainment company that cannot be ignored in the industry. It has even become a mid-level entertainment company in terms of scale, second only to them.
They have replaced the position once occupied by Starway Entertainment, and their influence has even surpassed it!
"Since that incident, we have not had any conflicts with Mubai Entertainment, so it has stopped."
"What do you think of this incident, Mr. Wu?" the subordinate asked.
Wu Tian replied: "I don't think Chen Mubai will do anything he's not sure about."
The implication is that he thinks Chen Mubai can make commercial films.
Even if he has never made a purely commercial film before, he still believes that Chen Mubai can do it. Even if many directors have failed on the road to transformation, he also thinks that Chen Mubai will succeed!
This is what his eyes told him. How many fools can get to this point?
During this period, Wu Tian collected what Chen Mubai had done in detail, and he discovered an interesting piece of information.
A lot of news that was unfavorable to him before was caused by him intentionally or unintentionally letting it ferment, and then he clarified it when public opinion was at its peak.
Chen Mubai is well versed in the hype of the entertainment industry. All the news that went against him in the end has been resolved, and he is always the one who takes advantage.
Jiaxing and Huiying Entertainment had previously deliberately flattered Chen Mubai regarding his album sales.
In fact, Chen Mubai had long discovered that someone was dealing with him in this way, but instead of solving or curbing the rumors when the incident first emerged, he deliberately guided it and allowed it to spread.
It ended up being a huge hit, and his album rode the wave of popularity to become a huge success.
Jiaxing and Huiying Entertainment helped him promote it for free, saving Mubai Entertainment money on publicity...
It can be seen from this incident that Chen Mubai is not a reckless person, on the contrary, he is a bold and careful person, and he will not do anything that is uncertain.
Just like the matter of flattery and killing, if it were to be dealt with by anyone, he would definitely have solved it early, and would not choose to deal with it in the same way as him.
But Chen Mubai knew the quality of his album and was not afraid of praise. This shows that he was confident of winning from the beginning, and he deliberately created an atmosphere of being "forced" to be followed.
This time, in the fight between Xingcheng and Chen Mubai, Wu Tian is more optimistic about Chen Mubai.
The failure of "Heroes of Fire" also had an impact on Jiaxing, after all, the two stars starring in it were both their artists.
This time, a lot of resources were spent to clear the two people's names.
Jiaxing did not take advantage of Mubai Entertainment. On the contrary, several works starring the company's artists were defeated by Mubai Entertainment's works.
Wu Tian learned a lesson and tried to stay away from Mubai Entertainment. They also downplayed their relationship with top artists to avoid Chen Mubai's wrath.
Although Wu Tian was proud, he was not stupid. He was prepared for the possibility of being sniped by Chen Mubai in advance.
However, the artists from their company did not have the opportunity to participate in Chen Mubai's film production, and their previous attempts to downplay the relationship had no effect.
Maybe it doesn't matter whether you do it or not. Chen Mubai's works are basically starring artists under Mubai Entertainment, many new actors, and the remaining collaborators are people from the other three major companies. People outside can't even drink soup...
..
Not only Jiaxing Economics, but also Hyatt, China Film and other companies have no artists who have participated in Mubai Entertainment's film and television works.
"We still follow our previous plan to avoid conflicts with Mubai Entertainment. If possible, we will try to release goodwill and let some stars guest star in their movies for free."
Wu Tian tried to find a way to repair the relationship between the two parties. He realized that Chen Mubai's rise was unstoppable, so he could only choose Huairou's strategy.
The free guest stars he mentioned are all well-known first- and second-tier actors, and they don't need to be paid, just to repair relationships. This is a very generous act.
Some stars may earn millions in salary for just one minute of their appearance in a movie!
Let celebrities make guest appearances for free, and it is still a group of celebrities. Wu Tian is indeed courageous.
If Chen Mubai accepts it, it means that the relationship between the two parties can be eased.
If you don't accept it, this gap will always exist.
For an artist management company like Jiaxing, the most important thing is good works, which greatly support stars. This is exactly the strength of Mubai Entertainment.
If Chen Mubai's movies feature their Jiaxing artists, even second-tier stars will now be first-tier stars, and first-tier stars can become super first-tier stars!
It has to be said that the influence of Chen Mubai's works is indeed very great, and the increase in star influence can be seen with the naked eye!
Qian Duoduo is now another first-line star in the industry, and he is still very young!
After Shang Ran joined Mubai Entertainment, she is now gradually becoming a first-line female star. It is only a matter of time. This is all due to the influence of Chen Mubai's works!
Wu Tian was very eager to ease the relationship with Chen Mubai, but he couldn't make the decision, it all depended on Chen Mubai's wishes.
Chen Mubai has grown into a being that he has to pay attention to, and is no longer the person he ignored a few years ago.
Now, Chen Mubai has publicly responded that if he wants to make a commercial film or a comedy New Year's film, then it would be best to have big-name actors join the cast. This is the best opportunity to alleviate conflicts.
Generally, Lunar New Year movies will feature big-name stars, and this is especially true for commercial films. Only literary and artistic films do not need big-name stars, because they do not need box office, while commercial films need box office.
...
"Mubai, there is news from Jiaxing again, saying that their stars can join our movies at any time. There will be no charge for guest appearances. If they perform, they will be given a friendly price."
"No, it's not necessary. I am a big-name star myself and have box office appeal. I don't need them."
Chen Mubai is now the most popular celebrity director. His movies have strong box office appeal and they really don't need other stars to sit in the lineup.
He knew what Jiaxing meant, and it was just to repair the relationship between the two parties.
In his opinion, it is not necessary. The area of ​​cooperation between the two parties is to invite the other party's artists to star in their works, but in fact, they can fully digest the roles internally.
He also has three partners, so he is enough of an actor.
Although they are not well-known, they are enough. A movie does not need too many big-name stars to have a good box office. If there are too many stars, it will be constrained and there will definitely be disputes about the arrangement of scenes.
Not everyone has a good temper. There are many celebrities who do not allow themselves to be green leaves. Regarding this kind of thing, Chen Mubai does not want to see it, so not doing this kind of thing is the best choice.
Besides, with his current popularity, he doesn't need those people to add to his reputation.
Maybe they starred in his works, which will increase their influence. After all, the quality of his works is well known, and as long as he performs well in them, he will definitely be remembered by the audience.
Even if you don't need money, Jiaxing will not lose money. It is equivalent to investing future income.
For Chen Mubai, Starway Entertainment is his biggest opponent and the one he most hopes to defeat.
In the Jiaxing economy, although there are frictions between the two parties, their businesses do not overlap and it is difficult to affect the other party.
Chen Mubai could only give up cooperation with their artists, ensure that their stars would not appear in his works, and refuse to cooperate.
The impact on Jiaxing is minimal. After all, there are so many entertainment companies and many film and television works. There will always be many people cooperating with Jiaxing, and Chen Mubai cannot stop the behavior of these people.
You can't control others, but you can control your own choices.
Artists from Jiaxing will not appear in their works.
He has not forgotten Jiaxing Economics' previous actions against them, and he is not a generous person.
