Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 80: Combative
At this game meeting, Fang Hong only conveyed his own game concepts.

Fool-style operation, tense confrontation!

Looking at the games that have become popular all over the world, in addition to rich game content, the operation must be simple and easy to use in order to attract more audiences.

Only in this way can "Heroes of Glory" quickly gain ground in the early stage of its launch.

After the meeting, Li Min followed Fang Hong and said, "Boss Fang, I see there are a lot fewer office workers in the company. They don't seem to be the same people I saw last time."

"Do your best!"

Fang Hong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stop pretending!"

I have already joined the company and signed the employment agreement. Can I still go back to Tencent?
A good horse never turns back to the old stable!
This made Li Min feel like he was on a pirate ship, but Qian Fanghong was very supportive.

All basic welfare benefits are provided, no worse than Tencent!
When making games, about 60% of the cost is labor, and the rest is software, hardware, bandwidth and other costs.

During this period, in addition to overseeing the post-production of "Love Is Not Blind", Fang Hong was planning the game with the game team and conveying his ideas.

Anyway, we are in the same office, so we are very close!

At present, these are his two most important projects, and "So Young" has entered the shooting stage.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was late November.

It was also in this month that the authorities issued a special document to combat online piracy and began to intensify efforts to crack down on online piracy.

This also led to the disappearance, transformation, or acquisition of thousands of video platforms including 56.com, Ouou Video, Ku6.com, and Channel .

This triggered a major reshuffle of online video platforms!
The continuous crackdown on piracy is also the reason why film and television copyright fees are increasing year by year.

But this was not the time when the crackdown on online piracy was most standardized. The most standardized time was in 13.

At that time, competition began to become fierce, and further regulation of copyright raised the entry threshold for video platforms.

By then, not everyone will be able to create a video platform. If you don’t have content, you won’t have traffic to create a video platform.

The BAT companies are rich. They are willing to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to buy the copyright of a TV series. What do you have to play with?

You can’t play without capital!
This is also the reason why other video platforms died out later, and iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video became the only two companies that dominated the market. The threshold was raised infinitely!
Under the rules, the way for latecomers will be slowly blocked!
The crackdown on online piracy has only just begun and we need to wait for a while, but it is a major benefit for film and television content workers like Fang Hong.

I can’t say there is no piracy, but at least there is no need to worry about piracy appearing on well-known video platforms.

Those marginal platforms are difficult to manage at the moment, but because they are not visible, their influence is also limited!

That day, Fang Hong brought the rough cut of "Love Is Not Blind" to China Film Group to discuss the screening schedule with them.

Chen Zhixi can't come back for the time being, so he has to come.

Entering the familiar office, Fang Hong said politely: "Boss Lei, we meet again. I am sorry to bother you again this time."

"It's okay, this is my job."

Manager Lei motioned for him to sit down and asked: "What kind of movie are you shooting this time? Who will be the lead actor, how much will be the investment, and how much will be the publicity?"

"A romantic film, starring Liu Tianxian and me, with an investment budget of 850 million and publicity included."

Fang Hong sat opposite and explained the situation!
I know this person doesn't have that much time to watch movies, so I asked so clearly.

"Another low cost!" Manager Lei muttered.

"Yes, this is the only movie we can make right now." Fang Hong said calmly, and continued, "How do you think we can schedule it this year?"

"There is only one month left this year, December. This month belongs to the Lunar New Year period and there are many blockbusters. I advise you to wait until next year!" Manager Lei said.

The Spring Festival period has not yet become popular. The Lunar New Year period includes Christmas, New Year's Day and the Chinese New Year period. It is the best period of the year and the competition is very fierce.

Low-budget movies like this usually don’t get many screenings because there are so many blockbuster movies. Unless they are extremely popular and have a high attendance rate, they will have a chance to break through the crowd.

But looking at the publicity expenses, you can tell that there won't be much response and it will be easily covered up by the publicity of other movies without even making a splash.

Promotional expenses are directly proportional to market heat, and the movies released in December are too strong.

There are Chen Daren's "The Orphan of Zhao", Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", Uncle Zhao's "Big Laughing Rivers and Lakes", and Red Pants' "If You Are the One 2".
It can be said that there are many great people gathered and the publicity is overwhelming!
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of competition. What I'm afraid of is that no one will compete with us." Fang Hong said again.

He said the same thing last time, thinking that this person was overestimating his own abilities. When Manager Lei heard it again, he felt that this person was not overestimating his own abilities, but was just being aggressive.

Fang Hong then said, "Well, can you help me schedule this film until the end of December? I think the 12nd is pretty good."

This way, we avoid the three movies "The Orphan of Zhao", "Big Laugh" and "Let the Bullets Fly".

These three movies were released at the beginning or middle of the month, and only If You Are the One 2 was released at the end of the month, which is on the 22nd.

That’s right, Fang Hong went there just for If You Are the One 2.

He has been warned by Huayi twice in a row to teach them a lesson, so this time he also wants to warn Huayi and teach them a lesson.

How can I not have a temper?

As a side note, except for "Let the Bullets Fly", the other four movies have nothing to do with China Film Group, and "If You Are the One 2" is just eating alone.

Although China Film Corporation participated in the distribution of If You Are the One 2, its share was very small and it was not exclusive.

This movie is an IP movie and it is sure to make money. In this era, it was very common to have the best deal, unlike later.

"I advise you to give up. Today is the day that If You Are the One 2 is released. This movie has its own influence. If you release it on the same day as them, you will be cannon fodder." Manager Lei was doing this for his own good.

The first part of If You Are the One has already built a good reputation, and it is directed by Red Pants and starred by Ge You, which has its own siphon effect.

What do you have? Just Liu Tianxian?
"Manager Lei, I know this is inappropriate, but my film and If You Are the One 2 will be released on the same day, so it won't have much impact on China Film Group! I'm giving you the exclusive rights, and I'm your direct descendant, so you should support me!" Fang Hong said.

Manager Lei thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

That movie had little to do with China Film Group, it just advanced part of the publicity costs to get an admission ticket.

Even the settlement right is not prioritized. It will be settled to Huayi first, and then to them.

But "Let the Bullets Fly" is related to China Film Group. Not only is it an investor, but it is also the first distributor in mainland China. The movie will be released on December 12.

"You can move it back a bit and set it apart from the time of Let the Bullets Fly."

"No!" Fang Hong shook his head and refused.

If it moves back, it will not be able to compete with If You Are the One 2. If it cannot compete, it will not be able to regard Huayi as its opponent. Without an opponent, it will be difficult to hype up his popularity.

His plan is linked one by one!
