My wife always wants me, a big star, to eat soft rice

Chapter 218 The Coming Trouble

Shi Tian left Lu Ming's house very quickly. He doesn't want to say anything to Lu Ming now. This kid is very similar to his personality. There is no point in talking, nor is it necessary.

The next thing he has to do is to minimize the impact of Tianmeng Media's online cinema.

The online movie theater Shiyue Group has also experimented, but they used bad movies to experiment, so the effect is not very good, and they have never sold movie tickets seriously, basically it is two yuan a movie, which is very cheap.

Under such circumstances, netizens already have a preliminary impression of big online movies, that is, all movies that premiere online must be bad movies.

So Shi Tian thinks that Lu Ming may not be able to develop, or Tianmeng Media still has a long way to go.

During the period when Tianmeng Media is engaged in online movies, Shiyue Group can rectify a little bit, such as reducing the number of offline theaters, and then follow up with the online movie theater function.

Although change is a very difficult thing, once there is a challenger, the Shiyue Group will definitely unite quickly. After all, this is something that will affect their stock price.

Shi Tian is not that old and stubborn, he thinks more about interests. For example, if Shiyue Group reduces its offline theaters, it will definitely affect the interests of many people, and these people will definitely quarrel with Shiyue Group. stand up.

However, if Tianmeng Media started, then people's attention will be shifted to Tianmeng Media, and at this time, Shiyue Group can use the challenge as an excuse to take the opportunity to complete the reform.

Of course, the fact that Lu Ming is his son-in-law is very disadvantageous to him, because people will definitely think that he let Lu Ming do this, so he must be more ruthless to Tianmeng Media next.

And the relationship between him and Lu Ming must be even worse. Only in this way can people believe that Lu Ming has nothing to do with him, and it is best to make people think that the two of them have a conflict.

After Shi Tian left, Shi Huan and Lu Ming came to the lobby and sat down on the sofa. The two embraced each other. At this time, Shi Huan said, "My dad must be angry."

Lu Ming said: "Huanhuan, I'm really sorry, I didn't agree to your father's conditions."

After all, Shi Huan is Shi Tian's daughter, and now he and Shi Tian have conflicts, and Shi Huan is very awkward in the middle.

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Shi Huan said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't care, but after my father gets angry, I'm afraid the suppression of Tianmeng Media will be more severe."

Lu Ming said: "In this situation, there is actually no difference whether Shiyue Group suppresses us or not."

Although Shiyue Group is in charge of many film and television companies and has a large sphere of influence in the entertainment industry, Tianmeng Media has formed a closed-loop ecology. In addition, they have broken away from their dependence on movie theaters. The group can no longer influence Tianmeng Media.

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Shi Huan thought for a while, and felt that it made sense. Now his father had nothing to do with Lu Ming, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Lu Ming directly.

But having said that, if my father was furious, he might ask the two of them to divorce. Although this is unlikely to happen, Shi Huan is still very worried about this. His father is a very stubborn person. , and often do things by unscrupulous means. After all, he is a capitalist, and his heart cannot be any better.

Seeing that Shi Huan fell into silence and didn't speak, Lu Ming touched her cheek lightly, and then continued: "Okay, Huanhuan, you don't have to think about it, even if your father uses tricks, it will be harmful to our company." It won't matter."

"Unless he proposes anti-monopoly to the parliament and legislates to prohibit companies from engaging in ecological closed loops, only then will we be affected."

"However, Shiyue Group itself is a monopoly entertainment company, your father will not do such a thing."

Seeing that Lu Ming said that, Shi Huan didn't think about it any more. The most important thing now is to see how much the online box office of "People on the Journey" is. As for other things, we can talk about it after the movie is broadcast.

If the box office of this movie is not good, then the two big groups will definitely not do anything to them. After all, the two big groups themselves have bad movies thrown online to experiment with online movies.

Of course, if the box office of this movie is very good, the two major groups will definitely react. Suppression is one thing. Secondly, in order to compete for the market, they will definitely also set up online movie theaters. However, when they are doing online movie theaters , it is very likely that due to internal interest disputes, the functions of their online movie theaters will not be perfected for a long time. These things are foreseeable.

At this time, Shi Huan asked: "My dad already knows that Tianming Film and Television is developing an online movie theater, so shall we directly promote the online movie theater next?"

At the beginning, Lu Ming did not directly promote the online cinema, but only promoted the movie "People on the Journey", mainly to prevent people from thinking that it is a bad movie on the Internet, and on the other hand, to prevent the two major groups from being aware of it.

Now that Shi Tian, ​​the chairman of Shiyue Group, has discovered their plan, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Lu Ming replied at this time: "Well, tomorrow I will ask the publicity and distribution company to directly indicate that our movie will be shown at Tianming Cinema."

Although Lu Ming was still a little worried, it would be announced sooner or later, and he could take this opportunity to hype it up so that more people would know about the existence of Tianming Cinema.

After finishing speaking, Lu Ming stared into Shi Huan's eyes and said with a smile, "Huanhuan, let's stop discussing the company's affairs here. Let's talk about other things in another place."

Having said that, Lu Ming got up from the sofa directly, and hugged Shi Huan.

Shi Huan gave Lu Ming a white look, and then said coquettishly, "Bad thing."

Lu Ming chuckled, then went upstairs with Shi Huan in his arms.

Although the company's affairs are very important, for Lu Ming, Shi Huan is equally important. Although the two of them often discussed the company's affairs after returning home during this period, Lu Ming still did not forget that life is life and work is work This question of principle.

Occasionally discussing work matters at home is not a problem, but you can't completely abandon the good life because of discussing work matters, and your wife still needs to accompany her.

After He Shihuan went upstairs to the bedroom, the two went through the procedure as usual.

The next morning, after Lu Ming came to the company, he immediately called the publicity company and asked them to indicate that the movie they launched this time was shown in an online cinema.

Not half an hour after Lu Ming finished his phone call, there were hot searches on the Internet about the movie "People on the Journey". Hot search, buy promotion.

Netizens were very confused when they saw that "People on the Journey" was released in online cinemas. The publicity of this film was overwhelming in the early stage. People thought it was a movie released in offline cinemas, but it turned out to be an online movie?
Can the quality of online movies be guaranteed?

The online movies they watched in the past seemed to be all bad movies. There were very few movies that people found interesting. To make money, if the movie is not released in theaters or scheduled, it means that the movie is not very good.

Just when netizens questioned the quality of this movie, Tianmeng Media officially issued an announcement, saying that the ticket price of this movie has dropped compared with offline movies, but the drop is not large, only a 20.00% price cut In addition, you only need to enter the website link of Tianming Film and Television to buy tickets, and you can bind accounts with major ticket selling websites, which means that you can watch movies in Tianming Cinema without having to register for an account with Tianming Film and Television.

This announcement made netizens feel even more confused. Although Tianmeng Media said that the price of movie tickets will be reduced by 20.00%, but then again, what is the operation of buying movie tickets for online movies?
Generally, watching online movies can be watched directly on major film and television broadcasting platforms, and the payment only costs a few dollars. Of course, the quality of those movies is not very good.

If you have to buy tickets for Tianmeng Media's movies, and the ticket price is only reduced by 20.00%, then you have to watch the movie "People on the Journey", at least it will cost more than [-] yuan, which used to be enough It is unbelievable that an online movie that I watched now costs more than [-] yuan.

In response to netizens' doubts, Tianmeng Media issued another announcement. This time the announcement was made by Lu Ming himself. Lu Ming directly claimed that they were suppressed by the two major groups, so the movie could not be shown in theaters in many cities. , In order to allow more audiences to see the first release of the film, they had no choice but to release it in online cinemas, which was their helpless move.

After this announcement was made, netizens had less doubts about Tianmeng Media, because what Lu Ming said was the truth, the two major groups were indeed suppressing Tianmeng Media, and their suppression of Tianmeng Media was still in the news. hot search.

If you think about it this way, in order to survive in the cracks, Tianmeng Media really has no choice but to choose to release it on the Internet.

Although the release of "People on Journey" on the Internet has been understood by many netizens, there is no doubt that Tianmeng Media's announcement directly offended the two major groups.

Tianmeng Media's announcement made Tianmeng Media seem like a white lotus, and it seemed that it was the fault of the two major groups, and they were the victims. They have done monopoly things, and they are indeed suppressing Tianmeng Media, but Tianmeng Media directly sued the two major groups on the Internet, giving people the feeling that a primary school student is suing the teacher.

Netizens themselves are very displeased with the monopolistic behavior of the two major groups, coupled with Tianmeng Media's announcement, once again aroused netizens' anger at the monopoly of the two major groups.

Seeing Tianmeng Media's announcement, Shi Tian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This kid Lu Ming is really capable, and he actually directly dumped the blame on the two major groups. As a result, Shiyue Group and Haile Group fell into a passive position.

Although capitalists have thicker skins and they don't care what people say at all, people will definitely use this matter as an argument. If public opinion becomes stronger and those small film and television companies unite together, the country is likely to It is entirely possible that the Congress will legislate anti-monopoly and then split the two major groups.

In this situation, they can only superficially release the blockade on Tianmeng Media, or directly send them a lawyer's letter to accuse them of framing.

Of course, the second method is useless, because anyone with a little internet access knows that Tianmeng Media has been blocked by the two major groups. This is not a false accusation, but a fact.

If Shiyue Group dares to send a lawyer's letter to Tianmeng Media, Tianmeng Media may use their lawyer's letter to hype it instead. Shitian believes that Lu Ming can do it.

In this situation, you can't choose to confront, you can only make superficial concessions.

Afterwards, Shiyue Group issued an announcement, claiming that if Tianmeng Media is willing, they can discuss the cooperation in detail.

Haile Group followed suit with an announcement.

Of course, compared to being sued by Tianmeng Media, the two groups are actually more concerned about Tianmeng Media's online movie theater.

Anyone in the industry can see that Tianmeng Media is clearly looking for an excuse to take advantage of the opportunity to develop an online movie theater, and the suppression of Tianmeng Media by the two major groups is just an excuse for Tianmeng Media.

Although the two major groups have come forward to express their intention to reconcile with Tianmeng Media, in fact they have no intention of reaching a settlement with Tianmeng Media. May be more serious.

Tianmeng Media has launched an online movie theater, which has touched the cake of the two major groups, how could it be possible to reconcile with them.

Of course, Lu Ming didn't take their announcement seriously, and he knew very well that this was just a public relations strategy of the two major groups, and Tianmeng Media would face a more difficult situation in the future.

As Lu Ming expected, he heard the bad news two days later.

Tianmeng Media.

Office of the Chairman.

Lu Ming was busy processing business orders when Liu Mengmeng hurried into the office.

"Director Lu, something is wrong, the publicity company said they will break the contract, and they are not going to be responsible for the movie "Journey to Journey."

Hearing this, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Mengmeng said: "I heard that the two major groups seem to have recruited some companies related to the film and television industry and are planning to impose sanctions on our company, and the company responsible for publicizing people on Journey is also among them."

Lu Ming frowned, it was exactly what he thought.

Then Lu Ming said: "Forget it, since they want to break the contract, let them break the contract, let the legal department get ready, and go and get back the money that I paid to the Xuanfa company in advance."

Liu Mengmeng said: "I see, I'll go and tell them right away."

Having said that, Liu Mengmeng turned around and walked towards Tianmeng Media's legal department.

At this time, Lu Ming fell into deep thought. They set up an online movie theater and touched the cakes of too many people, including the movie announcement company, so it is normal for those guys to break the contract, but since they broke the contract, they will get a point. Don't even try to get money.

But having said that, the situation of their company may be a bit embarrassing now. If he guessed correctly, the next thing the two major groups have to do is to cut him completely and choose one of the two.

In other words, if people in this industry choose to cooperate with Tianmeng Media, they will no longer be able to cooperate with the two major groups. This is what monopoly companies like to do most.
