my wife is a showman

Chapter 183 I Don't Care At All
Xu Lang knows that without enough exposure, no matter how good the quality of the film is, it will not be able to compete with others. Theaters are basically managed digitally, and whoever sells more money will be ranked whose film does not care about your quality.

For the audience, they will watch whatever you arrange.

This is the flaw of the data society. On the surface, it seems fair, but this fairness is only for those with money and power. The data may not be true and can often be manipulated.

The rules have always been set for ordinary people, and the upper class will break them for you every minute.

On the way to send Sister Deng to the airport, she saw that Xu Lang was a little dull, so she comforted her: "Xiao Xu, I'm sorry, they are investors after all, and I can't help you with public benefit."

"Sister Deng, it's okay. This kind of thing is very common in shopping malls. If I can't handle it, I might as well pack up and go home." Xu Lang replied.

Even though he was not sure in his heart, he could only carry it on his own now. He could not let the publisher Chen Shou or Hu Haifeng know about it for the time being, fearing that they would be cowardly. After all, real money was pouring in.

Because Xu Lang wanted to wait for Hu Haifeng to sign the investment contract for "Hai'ao Village No. 17" and then ask for money when it was about to be released, so he would be tricked step by step.

Otherwise, Hu Haifeng would not make a penny this year and would spend all of [-] to [-] million on himself, which is simply unrealistic.

Sister Deng is an old Jianghu, so of course she knows these people well. Although she has some power, she will still encounter such helplessness.

"The progress of society and art can only rely on you young people to break through and strive for it. It is impossible to expect those old guys to take the initiative to help. They would just like to sit in the office and collect money, and pluck the hair of geese. They are no different from the robbers who used to hold up roads.”

"Young people have to have an attitude. They can't follow the trend and grit their teeth to fight against them, but they must pay attention to the method and protect themselves first."

Sister Deng's eloquence gave Xu Lang great confidence.

He smiled and said, "Sister Deng, I think you are really a wise philosopher. Yes, the most important thing in a career as a director is to have an attitude. Only with an attitude can you shoot works with soul."

"Well, I'm optimistic about you. The contract will be delivered by courier tomorrow. Even if this movie doesn't make money, our movie will make more money. Director Tian will never dare to play this kind of money-losing game with me."

"I see, thank you."

When he went back, Xu Lang closed his eyes, his mind was running fast, thinking of countermeasures.

This kind of fighting for capital strength doesn't have any clever tricks. You can only play a combination of punches and see who wins in the end.

"There will be a solution, there will be a solution." Xu Lang nagged like a psychopath.

"Mr. Xu, where are you going now?" the driver asked.

"Go to Dolphin Bay Kindergarten, I'll pick up my daughter."

"Ok."

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Xu Lang asked the driver to go back to rest first. This place is not far from home, so he can take Yaya for a run to relieve the pressure. Tomorrow, he will sign Chen Shou's contract first.

He didn't tell anyone, including his wife, about Director Tian's resistance. If he did, it would only increase his worries.

When school was over, Xu Yaya was carrying a pink schoolbag, and she saw Xu Lang from a long distance away, and her grandmother usually came to pick it up.

"Father, teacher, that's my father." Xu Yaya pulled a blond foreign teacher and said.

"Your dad is a star, right?"

"Yes, yes."

As soon as Xu Yaya yelled, the parents who picked up their children at the door all looked at Xu Lang. Many people didn't know him at all, and they followed suit to take pictures.

Xu Lang had no choice but to take off his mask and greet everyone.

"Yo, this is Xu Lang."

"Yeah, it seems to be quite popular recently."

"I've seen that "Intern" or something."

"This father is qualified, and he actually came to pick up the child himself."

Xu Lang chatted with the foreign teacher for a few words, picked up Yaya's schoolbag, and the two trotted back.

"Dad, let's talk in English from now on."

"You've only been studying for a few days."

"I made rapid progress. My grandparents next door taught me, and my teachers also taught me."

"Yabaoke is awesome."

When Xu Lang is with his daughter, all the pressure will be forgotten.

At night, he put his daughter to sleep, and began to sit at the desk to plan a counterattack plan, and how to persuade Chen Shou to spend the promotional expenses wisely.

Even if the opponent is the richest man in the world, he cannot be caught without a fight.

Although movies can also be manipulated, they are still different from TV dramas. TV dramas are purchased by organizations such as TV stations, while movies are aimed at hundreds of millions of viewers, similar to the B2C model.

All strategies are nothing but manipulating public opinion and people's hearts, and there is still a chance to fight back.

The next morning, Xu Lang asked Chen Shou to go to Shi Shi's studio to sign a contract, although he already had ideas for dealing with Guangying Media.

But no matter who wins or loses, it will be somewhat offending in the end, so he wants Shi Shi or Mr. Wu to talk to Tian Dong about whether the release date can be staggered.

Be polite first and then use force, so that you can be reasonable in the future.

After listening to Xu Lang, Shi Shi shook his head and sighed:
"It's not your problem. Director Tian wouldn't spend [-] million for you. Even if they don't hit your schedule, they still like to operate like this. For capital, they like to use money to monopolize resources, just like the current Internet giants. In many cases, money can solve all opponents."

"Sister Shi, what you mean is that communication is useless."

"Well, but I will talk to Tian Dong, but the effect will not be too great, you still have other plans." Shi Shi said.

"My plan has been written. After signing the contract with Chen Shou later, we will start communicating on the publicity strategy. You can also participate. Don't tell him yet. If they hear that we are being stared at by light and shadow, they will be frightened. Running."

Shi Shi was a little surprised. To deal with giants like Guangying, Xu Lang actually came up with a strategy overnight?
With Xu Lang's stability, even if he can't defeat the opponent, he should still be able to give it a try.

"So fast, okay, I'll listen to it later."

When Chen Shou arrived, he seemed quite nervous, and he was not in a hurry to bring up the signing of the contract, just talking about it.

There is no need for Xu Lang to mention it to him, the distribution department of Light and Shadow has already told him this information tactfully, the film and television industry is actually very small, everyone knows it.

Of course, Xu Lang couldn't hide all this. Who would have thought of such an ordinary bad move.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any concerns?" Xu Lang asked.

Shi Shi looked at him and immediately understood that they had a tacit understanding.

I can't help but sweat for Xu Lang.

This is the only publisher willing to throw money at it.

"It's like this, Mr. Xu, Mr. Shi, a friend told me last night that we had a schedule conflict with a certain idol film by Guangying." Chen Shou said.

He has been observing whether Xu Lang is lying to himself.

"Well, a friend told me that it's normal. No matter how the schedule is arranged, there will always be opponents. I didn't take it to heart at all." Xu Lang laughed.

"But I heard that Director Tian has issued a message to target us to death."

"This shows that our film has a natural advantage. They have seen "Soulbreaker Gun", but they are worried about it when I distribute the film to you."

When the matter reached this point, Xu Lang had nothing to hide, so he could only be honest.
