Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 91: Industry-wide Ban
On the sixth day, the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" continued to drop to 33 million, exceeding the 3667 million box office.

Similarly, "If You Are the One 2" also fell, to only 1642 million; "Let the Bullets Fly" also fell to around million.

These days are a period of pain, and all the box office revenue has been absorbed by the two days of Christmas, so the entire market is falling!

On the seventh day, "Love Is Not Blind" continued to fall below 33 million, reaching only 2347 million. This was a sharp drop, with million lost in one fell swoop.

Needless to say, If You Are the One 2 and Let the Bullets Fly are also falling.

Starting from the 30th, Huayi seemed to have come to its senses. It stopped arguing with the "little fairies" and stopped blackening anyone. Instead, it began to focus on promoting the movie itself.

They felt that continuing the campaign would be a losing proposition, so they decided to promote the movie first, as that was where the real money was.

Huayi’s strategy is correct. Fighting with the “little fairy” is just asking for trouble.

As a result, the trend of public opinion on the Internet began to change:
"Yao Dazui plays with ambiguity in If You Are the One 2, and the love triangle is complicated and confusing."

"If You Are the One 2" released a new poster, revealing the complex character relationships!"

"."

Such propaganda slogans are everywhere on the Internet and are even in the front row.

In other words, just ignore the "little fairies" and let them curse and punch you as you please.

This made Fang Hong have no place to use his strength, just like he had deep internal strength ready to explode, but the enemy had run away and he could only attack the air.

"The big and small Wang are not stupid." Fang Hong said.

It was still the same office, but Liu Tianxian was not there.

She became famous again and went out to run around to support her family. The family depends on her. She has three elderly people to support, and it is quite hard.

Fang Hong is also an "old man"!
Well, the real reason was that Liu Tianxian felt that Fang Hong’s methods were despicable, and they had ideological differences.

"Then what should we do? Spend some money on publicity?" Chen Zhixi said.

"Forget it. We can't promote as well as them. So we'll stick with the established strategy, tie up the fairies, stigmatize them for stealing the box office, and continue to do the opposite." Fang Hong said.

With their strength, formal and legitimate publicity is futile, and they can only take an unconventional approach.

There were no surprises on the 31st, and the entire film and television market continued to decline. This is the trend.

But on January 1, New Year's Day, the entire market began to rise.
"If You Are the One 2" had a box office of 2699 million. Previously, they were about to fall below million, but this time they suddenly rose.

Even "Let the Bullets Fly", which has been released for a long time, has increased to 3008 million, almost three times.

But the quality of this movie is really good, no doubt about it!

That movie was badly beaten by the "little fairy", and it is amazing that Huayi can perform like this now.

"Love Is Not Blind" had also fallen to around 33 million before, but it tripled on that day, with a box office of 3288 million, still topping the box office charts.

The current total box office is 3.04 million!
The total box office of If You Are the One 2 was only 2.42 million yuan, which is a far cry from the original film.

At this point, the winners and losers have been decided, the situation has been determined, and the future box office figures are no longer of any reference and will only continue to fall further.

And they have been showing for more than ten days!
But "If You Are the One 2" did not lose money. When the movie was being made, most of the cost had been recovered through advertising.

The box office is just a side profit, otherwise the audiences who have seen it would not criticize this movie as an advertising movie or terrible garbage.

But he could have gotten a higher box office, but he was interrupted by the principal, and he was still angry.

The box office exceeded 3 million, and Fang Hong was very happy. He even bought a bottle of red wine. Chen Zhixi, Meng Jun and the other two held high-heeled glasses.

With a "bang", several people raised their glasses and drank together.

Meng Jun is the chief financial officer. Although he seems to not contribute much, all the money has to pass through his hands.

When doing anything, money is the most important thing.

"Old Yu is not here. It would be great if he were here." Fang Hong took a sip of red wine, feeling quite sorry.

Lao Yu is also one of the core members of the team.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. This isn't the only time we succeeded."

Chen Zhixi is becoming more and more confident now.

If even a leader like Huayi dares to do it, what else can they not do?

Although this struggle was nothing to Huayi and did not cause any harm to them, their movie did not lose money and they still made a lot of money.

But it was true that he got rid of his anger, and it also made Yutu famous.

This will be of great benefit to their future business development, such as artist management, film and television production, distribution, derivative business, and team building.

Fame has a siphon effect, talents and projects will come naturally!
For example, if someone is looking for investment for a good project, Yutu is one of the options. If a celebrity wants to sign a contract with a company, they can also choose Yutu.

In the past, film and television, special effects talents, actors, etc. would give priority to cooperating with companies such as Huayi, Bona, and Guangxian and entering these companies.

But this may not be the case in the future. Talents will now have another choice among the major film and television companies: Jade Rabbit Pictures!
In the past, people had never heard of Yutu Pictures, or their impression of Yutu was that it was a workshop that was not very well off.

He even dares to bully someone like Yang Zi.

This impression will be completely changed in the future. At least Yutu Pictures has worked with Huayi. This is reputation and this is the battle for survival!

With this war, the cohesion of Yutu Pictures will be even stronger, simply because there is hope and a future.

"You're right. We are not going to win just this time, but many times." Fang Hong said.

Just as the three were chatting, a "beep, beep" sound was heard. Chen Zhixi gestured, put the wine glass on the table, and went aside to answer the phone.

Fang Hong said to Meng Jun: "I want to get some money to go to sea, do you have any ideas?"

"How much?" Meng Jun asked back.

Fang Hong thought for a moment and said, "About 700 million US dollars."

That is about 4900 million. With the support of "Love Is Not Blind", it is still possible to get this money.

It depends on how Meng Jun handles it and turns this money into usable money through financial means.

This is the advantage of having someone around who understands finance, who can provide leverage.

But he didn't trust her completely, so he still let Chen Zhixi supervise her. This woman was smart and could see through the trick.

Meng Jun asked again: "Is it urgent?"

"We need it after the New Year, but it can be done in batches." Fang Hong said.

It is quite difficult to exchange the local currency as there are restrictions. 700 million US dollars obviously exceeds the limit.

"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Meng Jun agreed.

"headmaster."

Chen Zhixi came over with his phone in his hand and said in a low voice, "Boss Wang is calling."

It's normal to have her phone number there. We've made an appointment before and submitted her information.

Besides, she is also the producer and the president of Yutu. She once said in front of the media that she wanted higher authorities to report the box office theft, which is considered to be a exposure for her.

"Uh? Why is he looking for me?" Fang Hong was puzzled.

"I don't know, he just said he was looking for you, and his attitude was quite arrogant." Chen Zhixi said in a low voice.

"Is he here to scold me?" Fang Hong guessed.

"If you're afraid, I can refuse it for you. Just say you're busy." Chen Zhixi teased deliberately.

"Who said I was scared?"

Fang Hong pointed at the table and motioned for her to turn on the speakerphone.

Chen Zhixi smiled, put his phone on the table, turned on the hands-free function and said, "Boss Wang, if you have anything to say, you can tell me now."

"Principal?" the other party asked. "It's me!" Fang Hong said.

"Ah!"

Mr. Wang sneered: "You are so brave to throw dirty water on us."

"Why are you throwing dirty water on you? Do you dare to say that you didn't steal the box office?" Fang Hong said.

Of course they have stolen. Any film and television company has done it, and it's not clean. For example, "The Orphan of Zhao" and "The Laughing Man" also accused each other of stealing box office revenue.

But it is true that he never stole "Love Is Not Blind".

"Don't bother with us. Don't you know whether we stole your things or not?"

Feng Kuzi was very angry and couldn't stand the look of this man.

"Why, are you here to reason with me or to seek justice from me?" Fang Hong said calmly.

Is it useful to talk about stealing box office? It's all in the past.

Can he spit out the money he earned? That's wishful thinking!
"You are great, Principal. You remain calm in times of crisis. I admire you very much. Come join us and work with me. It will be good for you." The king always felt that he wanted to recruit talented people.

"Do you know what happened to the last person who spoke to me like this?" Fang Hong said.

"What happened?" Mr. Wang asked subconsciously.

"I made him quit the film and television industry and go back to singing." Fang Hong was referring to Wang Laoer.

Chen Zhixi and Meng Jun looked at each other. This tone was too arrogant.

But they like it, this is the attitude of a winner.

Meng Jun had not experienced what Fang Hong had done to Wang Lao Er, but he had experienced what happened to Hua Yi, and it was quite exciting.

"Don't be so arrogant, I tell you."

Mr. Wang pointed at his phone and said angrily, "Who do you think you are? That's your strength. You know your position. You are still a rookie."

Fortunately, the two parties are not together. If they were, there would definitely be a fight.

When people are impulsive, they tend to engage in physical combat.

"You can't even beat a rookie, so what qualifications do you have to put on airs in front of me? Don't act like a strong man. I'm telling you, I won't fall for it." Fang Hong said in a stern tone.

"Yes, absolutely. It's not over yet."

After saying this, Mr. Wang was about to hang up the phone.

But Fang Hong's arrogant voice came out again: "I'm right in front of you, come and get me if you dare, I'm waiting."

"Fuck you!"

Mr. Wang also had a bad temper and smashed his cell phone to the ground.

I have money, so I bought a new one. iPhone 4 just happened to be released.

They have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but this is the first time they have seen young people dare to challenge their authority.

In the past, these young people wouldn’t even look at it. The men had to bend their legs and the women had to lie down!

"Damn Gobi, I'll go find him!"

The little cannon got angry and slapped his thigh and was about to go to the other side.

He could have earned tens of millions more, but ended up suffering heavy losses.

Blocking people's way of wealth is like killing your parents.

"He's a young man in his twenties, can you beat him?"

After hearing what the big boss said, the little cannon paused, weighed his own physique, and seemed to be unable to win.

He could only sit down dejectedly and said, "What should we do here? Should we just let it go?"

"Who said forget it? This matter is far from over." The king said.

It was also the first time that he had seen such an unscrupulous person. It really broadened his horizons. If he didn't teach the other party a lesson, how would outsiders view them?

Feng Ku Zi asked: "What should we do?"

"Ban! Ban the entire industry!" President Wang fiercely put out his cigarette.

Everyone present was silent.

If Huayi were to ban Yutu at this stage, it would still be very scary, simply because Huayi's film, television, music, agency and other businesses are still at their peak.

Its tentacles even extend to the film and television circles in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and it has certain relationships and capabilities in these three places.

Zhang Jizhong, Zhang Guoli, Tsui Hark, Stephen Chow, Fang Long, Teng Huatao, Guan Hu and other behind-the-scenes directors, bigwigs and capital Yinghuang are all his partners.

This does not include those celebrities such as the Four Dans, the Two Bings, and Huang Xiaoming.

It can be said that once you are blacklisted by Huayi, you will basically be isolated from the mainstream circle.

The entire film and television industry should give Huayi some face.

To give a very simple example, nowadays whenever a big shot paints a picture, many people in the circle will buy it at a high price in order to "curse" with him.

If you don’t believe it, you can take a look at the Bazaar Auctions. Every year, Mr. Wang has paintings up for auction. You can see how those celebrities compete to bid and how they lick the prizes.

All the king needs to do is sit back and watch the show with a smile on his face.

This is strength. When you reach a certain level, even the history of dogs will be wanted!

After this ban was issued, no celebrity actor or actress with a bit of fame dared to take part in Yutu's movies.

Unless they don't want to cooperate with Huayi anymore.

Correspondingly, no good scripts will flow to Yutu, because as long as they cooperate with Yutu, those screenwriters will no longer have the opportunity to submit their works to Huayi.

How many movies can Yutu make in a year? If Huayi wants, it can start multiple movies at the same time and invest in several movies.

Apart from these, well-known directors and high-quality projects will have nothing to do with Yutu. By the same token, how much money does Yutu have to invest in them to make movies?
Every pig will make a choice!

Once this ban is issued, well-known celebrities, screenwriters, directors, photographers and behind-the-scenes workers in the film and television industry will not cooperate with Yutu.

I won’t go to work at Yutu either, for fear of being hated by Huayi.

Although Huayi will not do anything to them, they have said that it is best not to use this person. Although the film and television companies are not happy about it, they will not offend them!

Because you don’t matter!
This news quickly spread throughout the circle. All major film and television companies and film and television capitals were silent. This had nothing to do with them. This was a grudge between Yutu and Huayi.

They don't participate, don't take sides, and don't offend!
However, the filming of "So Young" had just been completed, and the actors were all scared.

Ask around to see if they will be affected.

Anyway, the filming of this drama has been completed, so Fang Hong doesn’t care whether they are dead or alive.

Those who believe in him will follow him, and those who don’t will just get out. He now has money and connections, which is different from before.

In Fang Hong's eyes, Huayi is just a paper tiger, and sooner or later he will swallow this paper tiger!

The company, which once started out by shooting commercials for state-owned enterprises, rose too smoothly without encountering any setbacks and without any ability to resist risks.

Starting from this year, the four Dans and the two Bings will leave, and Ge Daye will also leave. Slowly, the big ship of Huayi will fall apart.

The company has fallen to the point where it can even control a few celebrities and signs gambling agreements with celebrities everywhere.

The most taboo thing in the film and television industry is gambling, because gambling is very damaging to one's reputation. Celebrities don't care about you and will take any bad role in order to fulfill the bet.

Among them, the function actress is a typical example!

A company that relies on red pants to support half of its business has no foundation at all and is not worth worrying about.
