I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 144 Conflict intensifies

During the travel period, the first thing Lu Chen and Shiyin got up every morning was to exercise, exercise, and then take a shower before deciding whether to go out and look around. If they were too tired, they would rest in the hotel. Anyway, their hotel is near the sea, and they can enjoy the beautiful sea view from the balcony of the hotel.

Of course, it's not that Lu Chen is not doing business. During the tour, he will occasionally formulate the development strategy of Chenyin Company.

Lu Chen and Shi Yin are very sweet, and they get tired of being together all day long, but on the other side, Shi Tian and Lu Yiming are full of gunpowder.

After the awards ceremony on the seventh day of the film and television festival, the film and television bureau invited those giants in the film and television industry to have a meal, including Shi Tian and Lu Yiming.

The two happened to be at the next table, and when people were toasting each other, they turned their heads and saw each other.

Both of them stood up, and their eyes met. It seemed a little uncomfortable not to say anything.

As a result, when Shi Tian saw Lu Yiming, he thought of his daughter, and then he felt angry, so he said to Lu Yiming: "Director Lu, I haven't seen you for so many years, you seem to have aged a lot!"

Hearing this, Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Yes, time is not forgiving. It seems that Shi Dong's body is getting worse day by day, and the skin is covered with bones."

Hearing this, Shi Tian snorted and said, "Director Lu, although you look healthy, I still have to remind you that being too fat in the elderly can cause many diseases. dead person's."

"Thank you, Shi Dong, for reminding me, but I have a private doctor to take care of me, and I have always been in good health. But you, Shi Dong, have such a rich family, why are you still so skinny? You can't be suffering from some terminal illness or something." Lu Yiming said.

When the people in the hall saw the two chatting, the whole hall fell silent, and only the two of them were talking in the hall. Chen Chuan sat in the distance, sighed, and shook his head.

If these two people want to reconcile, I'm afraid it will be impossible in this life. Two people who are about the same age will fight like teenagers.

At this time, Shi Tian said sarcastically: "Director Lu, I heard that your son is quite capable, he has cheated a good girlfriend!"

Hearing this, Lu Yiming said with a smile: "What is he capable of? He hasn't finished college, and he doesn't have a diploma. He is just honest, so women will look at him."

Hearing this, Shi Tian sneered and said, "Honestly? Your son is really honest enough! Every generation is better than the next generation. I guess your son is even better than you were back then."

Lu Yiming said: "Thank you Dong Shi for the compliment, but he's just like that. He shouldn't have any great achievements in this life."

Shi Tian continued: "Back then you were able to do such an outstanding thing as robbing brothers and women. Your son is better than you. I believe he will be able to make a career out of it."

The entire hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and people's eyes were all focused on the two of them, and the two of them spoke more and more straightly.

Speaking of this, Shi Tian said directly: "But your son is so good, the family members of your son's girlfriend probably won't agree to the two of them being together!"

"Whether we can be together or not is not up to us. It's young people's business to fall in love." Lu Yiming said.

Shi Tian drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then continued: "Yes, it's young people's business to fall in love with young people, but marriage is probably still the decision of the family, Lu Dong, after you abducted that woman back then, someone's heart But it was hard, and he asked me to tell you that he wanted your son to experience that feeling too."

Lu Yiming smiled, and didn't say anything else, it seemed that Shitian wanted to "repay the debt of the father and the son", and was determined to beat the mandarin duck with a club.

At this time, Chen Chuan couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over with a wine glass and said, "The three of us haven't been together for almost ten years. We finally met today. Come on, let's have a good drink." !"

The appearance of Chen Chuan dispelled some of the smell of gunpowder in the hall, but the two still seemed very angry.

This direct conflict once again intensified the conflict between the two, which also aroused their inner fighting spirit. After the film and television festival ended, a battle involving the entire entertainment circle broke out again.

After traveling in Country W for a week, Lu Chen and Shi Yin officially embarked on their journey back home.

Because the Spring Festival is still a few days away, Lu Chen seized this opportunity and took Shiyin out to look at the house every day.

In the end, Lu Chen bought a [-]-square-meter villa in the East District of Huacheng, the kind with a yard. It just so happens that this villa is not far from the film and television shooting base, nor is it very far from their company. It is also very easy to come back every day at the film and television shooting base for filming.

Although the price of a house of [-] million yuan is a bit expensive, as his and Shi Yin's future home, this price is nothing.

After buying a new home, Lu Chen started to decorate it. During this period, he asked Shi Yin's opinion many times, and decorated the bedroom of the two of them very nicely. The two of them were already in an atmosphere of getting married soon. middle.

After the company's Spring Festival, Lu Chen and Shi Yin began to return to the company to work. Because the villa was still being renovated, they would have to wait half a year before they could move in.

Because during the Chinese New Year period and Shiyin are doing that every day, and because the holiday guarantees a rest time, Lu Chen is still very energetic when he came to the company on the first day, but the new year doesn't seem to give him much hope. What good news.

In the morning, Lu Chen was sitting in the office dealing with the accumulated affairs of his company during the Chinese New Year. At this moment, Cheng Ming strode into the office.

"Lu Chen, something is wrong!!!" Cheng Ming said anxiously.

Hearing this, and seeing Cheng Ming's anxious look, Lu Chen asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Ming replied immediately: "Shimei and Luying have launched online cinemas!!!"

This……

Lu Chen was stunned. Although he had already expected that the two groups would launch an online movie theater, he did not expect it to be so soon, and it was launched during the period when the Film Association sanctioned Chenyin.

Lu Chen asked again: "When did it happen?"

"Just 5 minutes ago, the two groups made announcements, and the time difference between their announcements was less than 2 minutes."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Lu Chen immediately opened the computer webpage, and then checked it online. As soon as he entered the webpage, he found a trending search about this matter. It took only a few minutes, and there was a trending search. It can be seen that this matter is very important to film and television Then Lu Chen carefully checked the announcements of the two companies.

There are some differences between the products launched by Luying and Shimei and Lu Chengchen’s online cinema, but the difference is not very big. For example, the two companies launch weekend cinemas, which means that their online cinemas are only available on weekends. , and after their movies are shot, they will be screened in cinemas for a month before they will be sent to online cinemas.

After reading the announcements of the two companies, Lu Chen frowned. Although the products of these two companies looked different from Chenyin's online movie theater, the difference was actually not that great. The one-month release is a temporary measure for the two companies. He is just reminding people that they are also going to start online movie theaters. This is just a test for them.

After all, these two are big companies, so their changes will not be too radical.

Although the changes of these two companies are good news for the audience, it is not good news for Lu Chen. Once these two companies develop again, and then take the opportunity to lower the prices and lower the box office of online movie theaters, it will be good news for Chen Yin. Said it was definitely a heavy blow.

Luying and Shimei Group have their own size, and their movies have been in theaters for a month, and they have collected a lot of theater box office, so they can deliberately lower the price of movie tickets in online movie theaters. At this time, some viewers will definitely ask why Chenyin's movie tickets are so expensive.

If the price of Chenyin's online movie tickets is higher than that of ordinary online movie tickets, it is likely to be misunderstood by people, and audiences don't necessarily care whether you are a premiere or not.

Lu Chen can actually tell that Shimei and Lu Ying's strategic adjustment this time is not aimed at him, but that their two groups have already started a head-on collision, but Chenyin and those small film and television companies will also be hit. That's all.

Luying and Shimei are fighting a war of attrition purely by using their size, and they want to use online movie theaters to suppress box office prices, and then force the other party to death.

The two of them are large listed companies that can afford to burn money, but there are more unlisted film and television companies in China. Some of them are half-dead even if they go public. A price war with the two of them will definitely be forced to death. Television Company.

In other words, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

These two have started to launch online movie theaters, and Shengying Media, as the third largest film and television company in China, naturally has to keep up. This advantage for Lu Chen disappeared in an instant. Naturally, there will be less cakes.

What Lu Chen really wants to know now is that Lu Ying and Shi Mei are both engaged in online movie theaters, so will they continue to restrict Chen Yin?

Cheng Ming asked at this time: "Lu Chen, what do you plan to do next? Do you want to lower the price of movie tickets appropriately?"

Lu Chen looked away from the computer interface, then thought for a while and said, "If you don't drop it for now, there's no need to participate in their price war. They have so many theaters, and the cost of the movie has been recovered for a month. We earned what we should have earned, and then moved the movies online to fight a price war, and if we followed them in lowering prices, we would be the losers.”

Having said that, Lu Chen glanced at Cheng Ming, and then asked, "Cheng Ming, I remember you learned the language of country W, right?"

Cheng Ming replied, "Yes."

"Then can you use the language of this country to communicate normally with the locals?"

Cheng Ming was a little puzzled, why did Lu Chen bring up this issue?
"Communication is no problem at all, I have the eighth grade certificate, but why are you asking this question?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I want to open a branch abroad, so I plan to send someone abroad to help me take care of it."

Hearing this, Cheng Ming was stunned.
