China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 272 Chapter 270. The war between the two companies begins

Deputy Director Yang, who is in charge of variety shows at Lychee Channel, is a little worried at this time.

The flagship program "The Voice of China" has been exposed. Although the whistleblower has no evidence, the ratings of the last episode still dropped a few points.

While he was thinking about countermeasures, he felt happy when he saw a call from Cao Yu.

When the call was connected, he said: "Xiao Cao, I was just looking for you. Aren't you a shareholder of Penguin? Please ask Weibo to delete all these slanderous messages, and then we will investigate slowly."

"Yang Tai, if you delete Weibo, there will be no more 300 taels of silver here."

"Then let them spread it. It will have a huge impact on the program's ratings and reputation. Delete it first and then investigate and deal with it."

"Yang Tai, did we really not do that? Also, who are the finalists this year?"

"Zhang Jie, Yu Kewei, Huang Ling, and Xu Shangao. Now Zhang Jie has the highest voice for winning the championship and the most fans."

"They are all very powerful."

Cao Yu nodded. Three of the four people who entered the finals had participated in the competition in the previous competition. They were already strong and it seemed that there was no shady story.

However, he thought about it and felt that this matter was still a bit strange.

"If there was no shady story, why would this matter spread so widely? Is there someone behind the scenes?"

Thinking of this, he said to Deputy Director Yang: "Yang Tai, I think that since we are not afraid of shadow distortion, we have not deliberately suppressed this matter. What we have to do now is for you and me to issue a statement first." , saying there is absolutely no shady story and audience supervision is welcome."

Deputy Director Yang nodded and asked, "That's no problem. How about coming down?"

"I suspect that this was done deliberately by someone to smear us. They interviewed some students to clarify that our competition was fair. Then they found the people who broke the news and told them that we were prepared to use legal means to sue them for slander. If they can't get it, If you provide evidence, we will be compensated for all our losses.”

"That's what I meant too."

Deputy Director Yang nodded, agreed, and thought to himself: "I will retire next year. I must not risk my life before retirement."

Magic City, Tianyu Entertainment.

"Cao Yu didn't delete these Weibo posts, but just issued a statement? Are they really not afraid of investigation?"

Long Danny, who had been paying attention to this matter, frowned after reading the statements from Feiyu and Lizhitai, and said to a man next to him: "Mr. Li, do you have any follow-up plans?"

"I guess after they issue the statement, they will probably issue a lawyer's letter. Those students will probably be scared, but they shouldn't be able to find us."

A man looked at the table with a pen, and then said: "Let's ask the paparazzi to find more eliminated students and dig out the real evidence about the shady story. As long as there is evidence, we are not afraid of anything."

"What if they don't have any shady secrets?" Long Danny suddenly interjected.

"impossible!"

Mr. Li of Tianyu immediately denied it: "Remember, this is a variety show, not the Olympics. If there is no script and no shady story, I would find it strange. Besides, real fairness does not exist on the entire earth, let alone China."

"It makes sense, you are worthy of being the boss."

Long Danny smiled softly, and then said: "My two program planners will watch it when they have time, and help me keep an eye on Guo Xiaosi."

"understood."

Mr. Li of Tianyu glanced at the two plans and nodded.

However, he didn't understand why this woman was staring at someone like Guo Xiaosi?

They have already joined Feiyu, so what’s the use of keeping an eye on them?

……

September 24 is the third day of the eighth lunar month. It is a good day to move, sign contracts, break ground, pray for blessings, and install incense.

On this day, at the China Film Market, two films that had been promoted for a long time were released on the same day.

Many people in the industry know that Feiyu and Huayi are at each other's throats.

But for many movie fans, this is a good day.

One is a love, palace, action and costume blockbuster with a 1.2 million investment by Feng Xiaogang, and the other is a family, comedy, and science fiction film by Xing Ye.

Which one is better?

"Which one are you looking at?"

"I still owe Mr. Xing a movie ticket, of course to watch Mr. Xing."

"I think Uncle Ge's movies should be good too. I heard there are many beauties and handsome guys. I want to watch Wu Yanzu."

"I still like Mr. Xing"

The cinema was packed with people, but many people with choice phobia were having trouble.

However, those who have money will naturally plan to watch both films.

Huayi.

"Even if it is released on the same day as ours, even if it is Star Master's movie, it will not be that easy to beat us at the box office!"

Wang Zhonglei was a little aggrieved.

"This is Feiyu's favorite operation. He did this last time against "The Promise". However, our film is not "The Promise"!"

Feng Xiaogang was also a little depressed.

Although he was very confident in his film, the two films were released together. Although he knew that the other film was intentional, he was helpless.

Now, the only way to defeat him at the box office is to beat him openly.

I, Feng Xiaogang, have yet to surpass me in terms of box office!

Wang Zhonglei looked at the company's royal director and said with a smile: "Pants, how much do you estimate the box office of "The Night Banquet" will be?" "Don't call me that!"

The two were relatively familiar with each other. Feng Xiaogang pretended to be angry and patted Wang Zhonglei before saying, "This is a blockbuster comparable to Hollywood. No surprise, it should be worth [-] million."

"Four hundred million"

Wang Zhonglei calculated that the 1.7 million yuan, if divided, would be less than 5000 million yuan. Putting aside the costs, the profit would be about [-] million yuan.

He was a little dissatisfied.

"It's all Feiyu's fault, he's also a shareholder."

But it's useless to curse. Now we can only wait for the box office to come out.

Unlike Yu Huayi, Cao Yu was giving some leaders to Feiyu Company and holding a small meeting.

"It is estimated that in the next few days, there will be a lot of film review videos about "Yangtze River 7" and "The Night Banquet". We accept spoofs, but you should do a good job in reviewing them and avoid any abuse or slander."

Cao Yu didn't know how to evaluate the movie "The Banquet".

It’s a blockbuster, and the art, props, scenery, costumes, and overall visual effects are all really good.

It's just that this story doesn't quite conform to the traditional concepts of the Chinese people, and the narrative is slow and pale and the dialogue is nondescript, making it difficult to succeed at the box office.

Even though Feng Xiaogang shot it very carefully.

And Xingye's "Yangtze River No. 7" subverts his usual nonsensical comedy style.

In the film, the funny Mr. Star transforms into a member of the lower class, using father's love, family affection, and growth to interpret kindness. It is a heartwarming film cloaked in comedy.

Both steps are movies that break the previous style. Who can be better? Now, we are waiting for the box office results the next day.

However, in Cao Yu's plan, "Yangtze River No. [-]" is just the clarion call for the encirclement and suppression of Huayi.

On September 25, the premiere day of the two films ended, and the major media were silent for a long time because they didn't know how to comment.

Feng Xiaogang also makes comedies, but now he makes blockbusters.

Does it look good?

Many film critics have a hard time saying.

As for "Yangtze River No. [-]", they thought it was good, but when they watched the movie, they really didn't laugh.

It was not until the second day of the premiere that the major media expressed their opinions.

"Yangtze River No. [-]" is a film with great depth.

"The Banquet" was not called a bad movie. The media cleverly used the words "dark" and "gloomy" to describe this blockbuster.

"Dark? Gloomy? Do these media understand movies? As long as it is a domestic movie, they will criticize it. As long as it is a Hollywood movie, no matter whether it is good or not, they will criticize it!"

Feng Xiaogang watched the media reports and started cursing in the office.

"The media didn't say it wasn't good-looking, and the box office was okay."

Wang Zhonglei was looking at the box office data, pretending to be relaxed and said: "On the first day of its premiere, "The Night Banquet" had a box office of 1000 to 300 million, and "Yangtze River No. [-]" only had [-] million. As long as the reputation is good, maybe it will hit the National Day , it will rise sharply.”

"Hopefully."

Feng Xiaogang can only hope that these comments will not affect the box office.

As time went by, at the end of September, the reputation of the two movies gradually became polarized, and some people began to call "The Banquet" a bad movie.

Someone took the lead, and the reputation of "The Night Banquet" took a turn for the worse. Audiences said that Uncle Ge was originally a comedy actor, but in this film, he seemed to be watching a costume sketch, which made it difficult for people to get involved.

On Douban, "The Night Banquet" is only 5.2, while "Yangtze River No. 7.0" is indeed [-].

The difference in ratings between the two films is 1.8.
Just entering the National Day holiday in October, the box office of both parties began to distance themselves.

The daily box office of "Yangtze River No. 700" remained at around 1000 million, while "The Banquet" not only did not increase, but fell directly below [-] million.

Even if Feng Xiaogang and the leading actors continue to promote the film, they will not be able to restore the box office decline.

Everyone in the circle knew that "The Night Banquet" had lost.

This is absolutely impossible.

why?
After all, the actor is Mr. Xing, and the plot is very thought-provoking.

As for the night banquet, it is a bit nondescript. It is a foreign story that is obviously not adapted to the domestic environment.

At the same time, many UP owners on Fei'e Video, Tudou, and Youku also began to crusade against "The Night Banquet", which made the already unsatisfactory box office even worse.

China Film and Television, Han Sanping watched "The Night Banquet" silently and shook his head.

Two mainland entertainment companies are at odds with each other, and both have been very productive this year, but in this regard, Feiyu Entertainment is obviously better.

"I wonder how "Painted Skin" will compare with Huayi's "Baby Project"?

But remembering that Feiyu's movies had always done well at the box office, his brows knitted together.

Before the movie was finished, he walked out of the company's movie theater and came to the balcony, looking at the scenery in the distance and tapping his fingers gently on the railing.

He is not worried that "Painted Skin" will not be able to beat "Baby Project" at the box office, but he is worried that if Huayi loses another show, it may fall into crisis or even go bankrupt.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

After struggling for a long time, Na took out his phone and called Wang Zhongjun.

Han Sanping didn't wait for the other party to speak, and said directly: "Zhongjun, your "Baby Project" might as well be released in advance during the National Day."
