Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 433 You Can't Control It

The court started work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Fang Hong directly bypassed the Film Bureau and filed a lawsuit on time, submitting litigation materials to the court.

They requested to apply for pre-trial preservation of behavior, which means that "Journey to the West" and "The Man from Macau" should be withdrawn from theaters first, and then released again after this matter is settled.

I don’t know how to do it, but Yutu has a legal advisor and after research it seems feasible, after all, the other party has violated the rules.

What's more, it sounds good. Keeping the movie here will not cause any loss, and it can be released again at any time after the dispute. It will not delay them, and it has not caused any loss, so they can apply for pre-trial behavior preservation first.

This is a very shameless statement, but the judges in the court did not quite understand it and thought it made sense. They replied within seven days whether they would accept the case. If they accepted the case, they could take the two movies off the screen first.

In other words, before the 15th, maybe "Journey to the West" and "The Man from Macau" can be taken off the screens.

They have sufficient evidence to prove that those two films did steal the box office revenue of "Bouquet", causing the film to suffer losses. They also violated the latest film market management regulations, so it is natural for them to sue you.

In fact, the movie has some violations, so just pick out the flaws.

This made Bona and those Hong Kong investors extremely angry and they wanted to tear the principal to pieces.

Can it be shown again after it’s been taken off the screen? What the hell are you talking about? Although the movie is just data in the hard drive, the novelty of the second release has long passed, and the popularity has also passed. It’s rare that a movie can still make a box office after a second release.

Because pirated copies may have leaked out.

The second release requires re-creating the popularity and spending twice the money, which is crazy!

The principal was so damn cruel that he didn't even intend to leave any scraps for them and directly cut off their retreat. According to the current box office trend, they could still get a few hundred million to make back their investment.

If this is taken off the screen, there won't be even a slag left.

Moreover, this matter was not a secret at all. It was made public and widely reported by the media.

"The box office of Bouquet has exceeded 1 billion, and is expected to surpass Lost in Thailand!"

"Yutu filed a lawsuit against "Havoc in Heaven" and "The Man from Macau" and demanded that they be removed from the shelves."

"Shocked! Yutu sued Wang Jin!"

"Breaking news! Yutu is suing China Film Group!"

"Surprise! Yutu is taking Fa Ge to court!"

"."

There are all kinds of news and information on the Internet, which can be said to be a mess, simply because the principal has created too many big melons for them, making the media overwhelmed.

However, self-media have no moral integrity and will use any title that sounds shocking. Moreover, now is the time when self-media is very popular, and they love such big melons the most.

Where there is traffic, there is money to be made!

China Film Group, Wang Jin and Chow Yun-fat are the three with the most traffic. China Film Group is the big brother, Wang Jin is the big director, and Chow Yun-fat is the big actor. In fact, it has little to do with these three people.

Anyway, the meaning has been expressed. Yutu has sued both parties. The reasons are very sufficient. You have violated the law and caused me losses.

Zhang Hongsen was also very helpless. The principal actually played this trick over him. He thought the principal would cause trouble, but he didn't expect him to kill everyone.

Who will dare to invest in Hong Kong movies after this? He can play the film market by himself in the future, and he has lost the ambition to fight Huayi.

I really don’t know what to say!
Wang Jin was found by reporters and said: "I don't know the specific situation, and I will continue to pay attention to the development of the situation."

This was no longer something he could participate in. It was a capital struggle, a struggle among investors, and he didn't dare to offend the principal.

Although he also invested, he did not lose much as his investment was small, and the director was also paid for the film. However, he also attended the capital gathering to understand the situation.

Even Fa Ge came to join in the fun; Zuoshandiao didn't come because he was handing over his work and preparing to retire.

It is a high-end club, where all the Hong Kong capital is located. Even Wong Jing has been here. He is a shareholder of Oriental Pictures and it is impossible for him not to come for such a big event.

"Fuck him!" Wang Haifeng, CEO of Xinghao Pictures, couldn't help but curse. He was so angry that he wanted to return to the entertainment industry and chop the principal with a knife!
Of course, this is just an angry remark. Do you really think this is Hong Kong? Whoever dares to use force will die. This is not the past.

"Alas, our film market is very complicated and you can't grasp it." Fatty Yu shook his head and sighed.

He couldn't defeat the principal alone, so he came to these people to discuss countermeasures. They were competitors before, but now they are all victims.

We have a common enemy: the principal!

The principal is also a talented person. He becomes stronger as he works harder. The more he works, the stronger he becomes. The more cowardly they become, the weaker they become.

"We don't really understand either. Just tell us how to resolve this issue. We can't let the movie be taken off the screen. If we do, we'll suffer even greater losses," said Wong Jing.

The Hong Kong Capital nearby all nodded.

If it’s released now, I can still make some profit, but if it’s taken off, there’s nothing left and I can only sell the copyright.

Maybe the principal won’t even let them sell the copyright!

Thinking of this, some people couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes. The principal was too cruel, the loss was too great, and the water was too deep.

"We can only ask higher-ups to mediate," Fatty Yu said.

This is the only way now, there are not many other options. Either we confront it head-on, which will cost a lot of money, and who wants to spend a lot of money in this situation?

Or ask higher-ups to coordinate and resolve this matter.

In fact, most of them have no grudges against Fang Hong. They are not like Huayi and Emperor Entertainment Group, which have grudges against each other. Their mistake is that they cooperated with Chow Yun-fat.

And Fa Ge didn't say anything in the crowd, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Others did not think that this matter had anything to do with him, and thought that the principal was only targeting them, the capitalists, not Chow Yun Fat. It can be said that the battle between Yutu and Tupiaopiao was powerful and impressive, and it made Xiangjiang Capital and Bona feel uncomfortable.

This battle was not without its benefits. Tu Piaopiao became famous overnight, had traffic, and had wide channels. Many producers came to Tu Piaopiao with their films to cooperate in distribution.

For example, some small film production companies such as "My Early-Mature Girlfriend" and "Girlfriends", and Hong Kong's director Johnnie To of "Single Men and Women 2" were also invited.

There is no other way but to come, as they are afraid of being punished by the principal.

This allowed Tupiaopiao to become more deeply involved in the film distribution business, leading to a sharp increase in its valuation.

This year was supposed to be a year of expansion for Tupiaopiao, not only to penetrate deeper into the ticketing market, but also to expand.

However, Tupiaopiao does not produce movies, it only distributes movies and engages in ticket distribution business.

Yutu is not without benefits either, it is also expanding. Meng Jun presided over the acquisition of Happy Twist and completed it. He acquired 3% of Happy Twist's shares for 88.7 million yuan, leaving only 11.3% for the founder Zhang Chen.

Most of these shares were acquired from institutions, and Zhang Chen transferred 37% of the shares.

The company is making money now, but not much, about 30 million a year.

Comedians such as Shen Teng, Ma Li, and Allen are all well-known.

But now a big money sponsor is offering them 3 million yuan to give up their shares. Why wouldn't they be reluctant? Institutions are meant to make money.

Based on the current income, Happy Twist will need 10 years to earn that much!
Zhang Chen had no choice. Yutu was too powerful now. If he joined, he could enjoy Yutu's resource advantages.

If you don't join, you won't be able to survive.

Referring to the later "The Richest Tomato", such movies are controlled by capital, how sad!

This acquisition is very small and does not need to be announced, and it has not caused any impact on the market. Currently, Happy Twist is still a small Kara Mi and has not yet involved in the film and television industry.

They are more involved in dramas and sketches.

But one piece of news shocked the entire Internet literary circle.

"Shanda Literature has changed its name and renamed itself Chang'e!"

This news was like a thunderclap, exploding the entire Internet literature circle, and it can be said that it completely changed the landscape of the Internet literature industry.

In the future, Shanda will withdraw from this field, and its main competitor will be Chang'e Technology.

Behind Chang'e Technology is the principal. I guess anyone who knows a little about the film and television industry knows how difficult this person is to deal with.

But the principal didn't move at all.

This caused mixed reactions from other forces in Internet literature, including authors. Some authors had no confidence in Chang'e Technology and went to other platforms.

Some authors were poached and went to other platforms to create. Today’s Internet literature platforms are vigorously supporting authors, so it is normal for them to come and go.

Moreover, various literary websites have certainly turned their attention to Chang'e Technology and are continuing to try to poach authors.

This year has been the most intense year for this industry.

Wu Wenfei, CEO of Tencent Literature, expressed his opinion on Chang'e Technology's acquisition of Shanda Literature: "We have a new rival, which means new challenges."

This statement regards Chang'e Technology as a rival!
But no one paid any attention to him. This man still had shares in Shanda. He could sell them if he wanted to, or just leave them alone. Anyway, Fang Hong had no plans to list Shanda Literature.

If he wants to cash out, he has to either give it to Chang'e Technology or to a third-party agency. Third-party agencies will not accept it because it is also difficult to cash out and they have no autonomy at all.

Now Fang Hong’s positioning for Shanda Literature is very simple: survive!
Only by surviving can they exhaust other platforms, and they will make mistakes themselves.

Looking at the literary field later, there were still a few platforms that survived, but they were all squeezed to death, so the most important thing is to survive.

For this reason, Chang'e Technology did not pay attention to the external attacks, but instead carried out strategic contraction and cut off all unnecessary businesses of Shanda Literature.

For example, all those weird things like Tianfang Audiobook Network and Yuedu Network will be cut off, and the book library and serialized content will be connected to Qidian in batches, and the traffic will also be connected.

In addition, the three book planning and publishing companies, namely, Huawen Tianxia, ​​Zhongzhi Bowen, and Jushi Wenhua, were all sold.

Only the male-oriented Qidian, Hongxiutianxiang and Xiaoxiang Academy's two female-oriented channels will be retained and merged, which means that we will only focus on online literature, and leave the entity to others.

At the same time, an announcement was issued on the site to comprehensively increase the author's share of the profits from the original 50% to 60%.

That is to say, out of 100 yuan, the author could only earn 50 yuan before, but now he can earn 60 yuan.

There is nothing fancy about it, it's just about giving money, which can keep authors here and produce works continuously to ensure survival. Other rules will remain unchanged for the time being.

At the beginning, I didn’t dare to make too big adjustments.

This move made the authors who did not leave very happy, and they all said that the principal had a great conscience.

In fact, Shanda does make money, it’s just a matter of how much it makes.

Currently, Shanda Literature’s annual royalties are around 1 billion yuan, which means that this reform will increase the revenue by million yuan a year.

Shanda Literature will be temporarily hosted by Hua Wei, and he will give up the position when a suitable person is found. The rules do not need to be changed and everything will remain the same.

There is no need to pay attention to the disturbances from the outside world, just let them fight among themselves.

Chang'e Technology has no shortage of traffic, and simply directing that traffic is enough to support Shanda Literature.

Moreover, the traffic of this platform has always been stable, and with masterpieces like "Perfect World", there is no need to worry at all.
