my wife is a showman

Chapter 184 I Hate Myself

There is no benefit in being in the same circle, who wants to offend others.

Even with the strength of Jiangdong Media, it can’t compete with others.

It's impossible for Chen Shou to spend 2500 million yuan to compete with Light and Shadow. How much money was invested in this movie, [-] million yuan is the upper limit for him.

"Mr. Chen, there should be five movies released at that time. We don't have to be afraid, as long as we make sure we schedule our movies." Shi Shi replied.

"Boss Shi, that's not what they said. If they really spend 30 million yuan, let's not talk about 20% of the filming, [-]% is difficult, then our publicity fee is equivalent to nothing, and we may not be able to make money."

Xu Lang pretended to nod calmly, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Chen, I made a publicity strategy last night. Listen, if you don't have confidence, we won't sign the distribution contract."

Chen Shou was taken aback for a moment, he thought that Xu Lang would beg him, and then renegotiate the issuance conditions, such as conservative issuance and more dividends.

I didn't expect Xu Lang to be so straightforward and resolute, and he had no intention of lowering his requirements at all.

This guy's tenacity is beyond his imagination.

The most important thing is that Xu Lang wants to give the distributor confidence, he just thinks his film is very good.

The box office of conservative releases is not much better, there is not so much shit luck in this world.

"Okay, I want to hear your thoughts too."

"You didn't sign an agreement with me, so you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement first."

As Xu Lang said, Zhao Xiaoyang pushed the non-disclosure agreement that had just been printed out.

It's just that today's conversation is suspected of being a commercial secret, if it is revealed, it will face damages of over [-] million yuan.

Chen Shou smiled helplessly, but he was still interested in this film, otherwise he would not have come today.

"Mr. Xu, you are really too cautious."

"No way, I have to be responsible to the investors and the boss."

"Okay, I'll sign."

Even after signing a confidentiality agreement, Xu Lang did not project the plan he wrote. He did not want to give anyone an excuse.

When the news gets out, if Guangying bites back, then this plan will come to nothing.

He walked to the whiteboard, took out a pen and wrote a few big characters: "I hate myself."

"What do you mean?" Chen Shou asked suspiciously.

Shi Shi and Zhao Xiaoyang are also waiting to see, Xu Lang has a lot of tricks anyway.

"For money, we are not the opponent of Light and Shadow at all, but fortunately, what we want to win is hundreds of millions of viewers."

"For ordinary people, they always sympathize with the weak, and we are the weak."

"Mr. Chen's 2500 million, plus we still have 500 million in our account, these publicity expenses should be used wisely. The publicity and distribution before the release will only cost 1500 million at most, and the other 1500 million will be part of the funds when the movie is about to be released. It is used to help Guangying find the navy to hack me personally," Xu Lang said.

"What?" Chen Shou and Zhao Xiaoyang thought they had heard wrong, and asked at the same time.

"Xu Lang continued." Shi Shi replied half understanding.

"Because the production of our two films will be a little bigger, so we only need to kill the light and shadow. Of course, it is possible that the boss and the second child will fight and squeeze the others to death, but we have no choice. It is an off-season. Residual game."

"Of course, the sailors we hire must control the rhythm. I will do the copywriting at that time, and it must be logical. For example, give yourself a low score first, but then reverse it later to pull up the score. It proves that our films are really good."

"In short, the ultimate goal is that Xu Lang is miserable, and the light and shadow are very domineering. They use money to promote bad movies and want to squeeze us to death."

"If you do this, will you anger Tian Dong?" Chen Shou asked suspiciously.

Xu Lang shrugged his shoulders and said: "He told me everything, he wants to teach me a lesson with "Soulbreaker Gun", so what can we do if we provoke him, anyway, it won't give us a way to survive, we have to fight for it ourselves. "

"What if they fight back and expose us?" Shi Shi asked.

Xu Lang doesn't seem to be worried about this.

"We must understand that the audience will never be able to figure out this confused account. What they really care about is their own feelings and opinions."

"Light and Shadow has money, and the public relations fee is more than ours, but we have to plan ahead, take the lead, and give the audience psychological hints. No matter how hard they try afterwards, it will be of no avail, and they may even be counterattacked."

Xu Lang paused.

"A lot of times, being big is an advantage, and they can kill us with money, but because of that, being big is also a disadvantage, because ordinary people are the underdogs, and they will always be on the side of the underdog."

Chen Shou felt that Xu Lang's approach did have the potential to make a comeback. After all, you didn't need to watch the movie "Light and Shadow" to know that it was a bad movie. It was just that there were so many popular stars.

People in the industry can judge things like bad movies at a glance, traffic stars + love + sweet pets, 100% bad movies, but they have a fixed audience.

As long as the two films have enough exposure, the public opinion on the Internet will quickly ferment, and in the end, the audience will return to the basics and choose the better-looking works.

"But your risk is very high. What method are you going to use to brainwash the audience in advance?" Chen Shou asked.

"I will appear in several variety shows and challenge some difficult and personal performances. You should also follow my ideas in publicity, first be negative and then be counter-revolutionary. In the end, the audience will understand that I am a talented person with a story. He is a principled and hard-working filmmaker, so he is often squeezed and suppressed by the bosses, but he never backs down."

"To put it simply and crudely, Xu Lang is a standout in the film industry, and he is envied by others. "Soulbreaker" is an adaptation of a literary work, and the style is strong enough to support my character design."

Xu Lang kept talking without shame, as if he was confident.

Chen Shou understood a little bit. What Xu Lang meant was not to use the work as a hype point, but to use the individual as a breakthrough point. This will be more convincing and the netizens will be able to resonate more.

Because he came from square dancing to showbiz, he represents ordinary people at the bottom.

Everyone has heard about the tyranny of light and shadow, and everyone is extremely indignant about the rotten entertainment industry.

"At that time, I will find someone to watch the scene. As long as they dare to spend money to lock the field, I will expose it to him." Chen Shou began to offer suggestions.

"If you have this kind of team and ability, that's the best. Of course, we also have reserve funds. If the plan doesn't work well, then we'll spend money on shopping."

"Can you find someone to spend [-] million?" Chen Shou asked.

"It's true, Hu Haifeng and I are brothers, and we are also a big investor in this movie, so we can't let him go at that time." Xu Lang replied.

The hype that Xu Lang said earlier is just a plan, and public opinion is difficult to control. No one can say whether the final result will be backlash or victory.

However, Hu Haifeng's [-] million yuan of funds gave Chen Shou a shot in the arm.

This is like playing cards. Hu Haifeng has already invested 3000 million, how can he watch himself being squeezed to death.

Normally, it would not cost 5000 million yuan at all. As long as Guangying finds that he has spent [-] million yuan, he will not be able to shake the opponent's filming, and it is very likely that he will stop the loss immediately.

You have to know that if you spend [-] million yuan, you have to increase the box office by more than [-] million yuan to make it back. Who doesn't feel heartbroken.

Xu Lang pushed the contract in front of Chen Shou, and asked, "How about it, Mr. Chen, give it a go and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."
