Chapter 331 Conditions for Participating in the Spring Festival Gala

Zhou Xia just sent out Weibo, and Zhang Zhao has already come to report to him about the communication with Shiguang and Douban.

"How about it? What do they say?" Seeing that Zhang Zhao's expression was still calm, Zhou Xia felt relieved.

"They are willing to temporarily close the movie ratings, but those ratings will not be deleted. After the movie is released, the open ratings will still be displayed again."

Zhang Zhao said helplessly after sitting down opposite Zhou Xia.

"That's all right? If we can make our Miaoyan movie and replace Douban, then we don't have to look at them." Zhou Xia gritted his teeth and said, but these words were just angry words.

"They say it's inevitable that even after the movie is released, there will still be people who don't watch the movie and rate it.

The rating of a good movie will gradually return to its proper level with the increase of a large number of normal audiences. Let us not pay attention to this point, it is better to ensure the standard of the movie! "

"Hehe, it's enough to listen to this, otherwise how can they support the advertising fee every year." Zhou Xia sneered.

That time and space "Huaxia Film News" questioned that the ratings of movies on platforms such as Douban and Miaoyan are no longer credible due to a large number of "water army", "malicious scoring", "unreliable film critics" and other reasons, and stated that these "Bad reviews are hurting the film industry".

Then People's Daily reprinted this article, and soon the Film Bureau interviewed Shiguang, Douban, and Miaoyan, and none of them shut down some functions soon.

Before the release of "The Founding of the Party" in 2017, there were many low scores. After the final warning, the movie had to turn off the scoring function when it was released.

This has become a joke in the circle.

Generally speaking, in places like Douban, apart from favoring Hollywood movies and literary films, the ratings of most movies are decent and relatively accurate.

However, if the matter of malicious scoring is not solved well, it will greatly affect the promotion of the film and the spread of word-of-mouth. This situation has caused many film producers and distributors a headache.

"Then the boss might as well acquire Douban. I think this website has great potential. After the acquisition, the function will be merged with Miaoyan, which will have a huge impact in the future!"

"Don't think about it, Yang Bo, the founder of Douban, this guy called Abei is very stubborn, he won't sell Douban.

Moreover, Douban was valued at nearly [-] million U.S. dollars last year. Considering the current situation of excess capital and generally overvalued websites, it must have risen again now.

If we want to acquire, there will still be a certain premium. Even if we do not seek a controlling stake, even a minority stake will require a lot of money.

This is not a big problem. More importantly, our investment in Douban will not be of any benefit to our film and television works.

People with low scores will think that the quality of the film and television drama is not high, and people with high scores will suspect that it is a secret operation.

Moreover, Ahbei and Douban's current CFO Liang He are very ambitious. They want to make Douban a community-based network platform. Let alone us, they will not agree to the acquisition of the BAT Big Three. "

"Did the boss talk to Douban long ago?" Zhang Zhao asked in surprise after hearing Zhou Xia's logical words.

"Yes, I've sent someone to talk about it a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have known so much." Zhou Xia asked Pan Xiuying to contact Douban when Zhou Xia was doing meow eyes, and only then did she know this.

"The thing about Douban and Time can only go like this first, and when the movie is released, we'll just follow their rules."

"Well, that's it for now."

After Zhang Zhao left, Zhou Xia returned to his desk. In just four to five minutes, his long Weibo post had already caused an uproar.

Weibo's hot search No.3 has become "Which three kinds of people in the world can't be trusted." 'No.5 is "a film critic who writes a film review without watching the film."

And No.1 is "Zhou Xia claims that Douban.com and Shiguang.com have hurt domestic films."

"Nimma, when did I say this, I didn't call the name, okay?"

When Zhou Xia saw this trending search, she felt annoyed. Someone must be following the rhythm.

Taking a closer look, his fans, book fans, and music fans reposted Weibo and agreed with his views because they supported him.

And some elites and opinion leaders, as well as the marketing accounts and trolls of those movies, commented and reposted his Weibo in a mocking tone.

Among them, a few sporadic people even mocked him with "Bullet Fly", saying why they didn't see Douban, and "Bullet Fly" had a low score on Shiguang, and everyone had a score of 8.5.

Zhou Xia didn't bother to pay attention to these people, he backed down again and again, but someone always came to set the rhythm on purpose.

He doesn't need to bear it anymore!

Zhou Xia directly called Yang Tianzhen, asking her to start attacking with blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and tell her all the vulgarities of the xj comedy movies in his memory, and let her do it.

Yang Tian is really a master in this area, Zhou Xia believes that the other party will handle this matter well.

After all, she has done many things about Fan Xiaoye and Lu Dazhuang, and she has done them very well!
After arranging this matter, Zhou Xia interrupted to continue processing some reports from several other companies.

Pullen called him and raised a very embarrassing thing with him.

Because Zhou Xia did not participate in the Spring Festival Gala, the pure love cp between the third child and Jing Qiu was abruptly separated.

The little yellow duck can only be partnered with a singer named Guan Jian to participate in the opening song and dance of the Spring Festival Gala.

This Guan Jian is the runner-up of this year's Avenue of Stars. He looks handsome, has a warm and sunny temperament, and looks like an idol, but he is 25 years old, so he doesn't quite match with the little yellow duck.

But their singing and dancing are very good, which makes up for this.

But Pu Lun called and said that the director team of the Spring Festival Gala still hoped that he would have time to attend the rehearsal to see the effect.

Hearing the meaning of the words, he still wanted to make up their pure love cp, but he didn't elaborate on it, saying that he would talk to him in detail after meeting at the company.

As a result, Zhou Xia didn't even say the words of rejection, and could only wait for the other party to arrive.

His schedule is that on the day of the Spring Festival, he will promote the film in his hometown, and at the same time celebrate the New Year with his family. How can he have time to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

After waiting for about an hour, Pu Lun came to the company with a little yellow duck.

"Sister Pu Lun, Xiao Yu, come on, you're welcome, sit down, what do you want to drink?"

Zhou Xia asked the two to sit down in the office, asked a question, and then asked the office assistant to make tea.

He and these two people have a close relationship because of the movie.

"Ah, third brother, you really are the big boss. This office is so grand."

The little yellow duck didn't sit down, and walked around Zhou Xia's office very unceremoniously.

Since participating in the Hawaii Film Festival, the two haven't seen each other again. The little yellow duck is preparing for the next year's art exam, and will ask Zhou Xia various questions from time to time.

Zhou Xia would only reply occasionally. This girl felt embarrassed, and her heart gradually became cold, so she didn't contact him again.

"There will be bread, there will be milk, and you will have a big office. Don't envy me, I envy you that you can go to the Spring Festival Gala."

"It's because you don't want to do it yourself, why should you envy me?"

Pu Lun saw that the two had a tendency to bicker again, so he quickly changed the subject of the two.

"Zhou Xia, I know you are very busy, so I will tell you directly without delaying you.

It's not just Xiaoyu and I's thoughts, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala also hopes that you can partner with Xiaoyu and appear in the Spring Festival Gala together.

After October, the whole country started to rectify the three customs. The two of you are the hottest screen couple this year, representing pure love. The director team still hopes that you can spare time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. "

Pu Lun didn't even touch the tea, nor was he polite, so he started talking with Zhou Xia directly.

"Here, there are only twelve days left, right? Don't the programs of the Spring Festival Gala have to go through several trials? Can I still go on?" Zhou Xia declined.

"That's right. What you're talking about is a language program, which requires fifth and sixth trials. You don't have so many requirements for the opening song and dance. Besides, apart from Han Geng and Dong Jie, you and Xiaoyu lead the dance and singing. There are many other actors who mainly want to have fun, and the songs are also catchy and easy to sing, and they don't need much time to prepare."

"Sister Pu Lun, but I really don't have time, otherwise why would I refuse to go to the Spring Festival Gala?" Zhou Xia said bluntly.

"I know your work arrangement, your agent has said it, and it is a helpless move for the Spring Festival Gala program team to let Guan Jian replace you.

Now that he and Xiao Yu really don't get along, and this is equivalent to dismantling the combination of the two of you, it's better not to have both of them, and only Dong Jie and Han Geng are left.

The director team asked me to convey their thoughts. I hope you will think about it carefully. They know that you have a good singing foundation, good memory, and are familiar with the stage. They are willing to open the door for you. No problem, even if you don't go to rehearsal anymore. "

"Ah? Can it still be like this? That's not good, it's so special." Zhou Xia couldn't refute for a while.

"You don't have to worry about this. Some of those queens and kings don't even have rehearsals a few times, and some even lip-sync. The main thing is to ensure the quality of the program. I know you very well. You have no problem.

I know you want to promote the movie, but if you go to the Spring Festival Gala, it will also be a good promotion for the movie.

You are the director and the leading actor, and your reputation increases, and the exposure and attention of the movie increase, you understand this. "

"I know this, but I didn't go home for the New Year last year. This year's Spring Festival, I managed to promote the movie in my hometown and reunite with my family for the New Year. If I participated in the Spring Festival Gala, I would break my promise. I really can't explain it to my family. .”

Zhou Xia had a headache, of course he knew the benefits of participating in the Spring Festival Gala, but he had already made an agreement with his family about the New Year.

"Well, there is another situation, I almost forgot. They are willing to let you briefly mention the movie in the guest interview the day before the Spring Festival Gala. You can perform a small show during the interview."

"You're talking about the program where the host interviews the actors who participated in the evening performance on New Year's Eve? It's also broadcast live nationwide, right?"

When Zhou Xia heard this, he couldn't help but feel his heart flutter after all. I don't know how many people paid attention to it.

If he can take advantage of this good opportunity to promote the movie, the effect will definitely be very good.

Of course, I'm sorry for my family, but this is his first movie, and I think they will understand and support him.

"Yes, that's it. The program schedule is out, and we will interview the performers in advance to attract everyone to watch the Spring Festival Gala at night."

"Okay, I got it, I'll think about it carefully." Zhou Xia pondered the pros and cons, and how to adjust the promotion back to his hometown.

"Okay then, think about it now, if you agree, come with us to the rehearsal in the afternoon!"

Zhou Xia fell silent. In his mind, he tried to readjust the date of the next publicity event, and found that it could be arranged properly.

Only then did he respond to the other party, "Okay, I agree. I will go to the rehearsal with you in the afternoon. Now I will let Sister Pu Lun and Xiao Yu take a look at the company."
