Disaster Artist

Who would have thought that the world box office champion in the first week of the new year would be "City of Falling Stars", and it would still be making history?

Because it was so shocking that there was silence, not even an uproar, only the silence after taking a breath, but soon the uproar came—

The whole of Lanchuan is discussing how the theater alliance's sanction order should continue to be implemented after "City of Starfall" has delivered a record at the box office for two consecutive weeks.

Of course, the five major theaters can still refuse to show "City of Stars Falling". Anyway, the box office dividend of a movie will not hurt their foundation, but the real point is how they should express their stance, and how they should continue to sanction Blue Whale Film industry, is it really going to the last step?

Completely blocked.

That is to say, the theater alliance completely blocks all the films produced and distributed by Blue Whale Films, and refuses to show any works produced by Blue Whale Films, including those in cooperation with Lion Films and Damen Films, before the streaming media negotiations are completed. The work shows the decisive decision of the cinema alliance.

As a result, Lion Films and Damen Films need to think twice about whether they need to continue to cooperate with Blue Whale Films.

At that time, this game of chess may become a little bigger.

But this decision may face two problems:

First, unless they are willing to join forces with the theater alliance for the rebellion of Chaos Cinema, Qingshan Cinema, and Xiazhi Cinema, it will be difficult for the banning order to exert 100% power, just like this sanction order. Can find loopholes to break the so-called ban.

Second, the cooperation between Ruizhai and Echo, maybe the two streaming media platforms are still in a state of competition, but as long as the theater alliance uses a heavy-duty killer move, Ruizhai will immediately realize that the streaming media is under tremendous firepower. Will undoubtedly defect to Echo's side—

It is conceivable that at that time, even if the works of Blue Whale Films cannot be fully released, they will still have streaming media as a display platform, and Lu Qian will still be able to make a sound through his own creations. The ban order of the theater alliance may not be able to achieve results , On the contrary, it may be on the back of the target.

This game of chess is not easy.

At this time, looking back at the ins and outs of the whole incident, you can deeply realize the importance of timing and layout.

On the surface, the theater chain alliance has the absolute upper hand, and it can be said that it has a certain chance of winning, and Blue Whale Films basically has no say;

Caught off guard, the attitude, reaction, and measures of the theater alliance were almost all expected, and they did not jump out of the routine, and then stepped into the trap step by step, restraining their own hands and feet.

However, the cinema alliance still has inherent advantages. In the face of absolute capital power, Blue Whale Films' all-out efforts can only win a glimmer of life, and the current situation is still shocking every step of the way.

It is 100% certain that the theater alliance will not surrender easily, and there must be a backup; but the key point is here, the old foxes of the theater alliance are also aware of the complexity of the situation, and they need to be cautious.

It is precisely because of this that the entire Lanchuan can feel the turmoil and undercurrents before the storm, and everyone is paying close attention to the development of the situation.

Then-

An announcement from Echo Theater broke the balance and fell through countless glasses.

"Dear Members,

Thank you members for your consistent support... blah blah blah... It is reported that the screening of "Starfall City" has caused a lot of controversy recently...

blah blah blah...

After discussion and negotiation... Echo Theater decided to listen to the voices of the members, satisfying the wishes of members has always been our primary goal...

Let's go...Starting at 8 o'clock tonight, Echo Cinema will officially arrange the filming of "City of Starfall", and launch related peripheral activities in conjunction with the film's release...

blah blah blah...

Sincerely, Echo Cinema. "

One piece, an uproar.

When netizens saw the announcement of Echo Cinema, the first thought in their minds was of course

That is, Echo Cinema is preparing to respond to the protests of its members, reemphasizing its position on the sanction order, and refusing to show "City of Starfall". .

At least, the first half of the announcement seems to be so routine, but the second half turns around and subverts all cognition with a 180-degree turn. You can clearly hear the sound of a dislocated jaw, and you even doubt your eyes, and your head starts to twitch. Knot, unable to understand what happened.

What... what's going on?

Huh!

Subconsciously, he took a breath.

Calm down, re-read the announcement again, make sure you read it correctly, and then—

Take another breath.

Huh!

This dramatic turn of events was completely unexpected.

Originally, people were still guessing whether it was Lion Pictures that first betrayed Blue Whale Pictures, or Damen Pictures first tore up the cooperation agreement and surrendered to the theater alliance; the result was that the theater alliance was the first to have disagreements, which echoed that the theaters shifted camps , The development of the whole story is really amazing and incomprehensible.

Throughout Lanchuan, earthquakes occurred again and again, and the turbulent undercurrent gradually became uncontrollable. From the dark to the bright, it was obvious that different forces were surging.

At this time, an obvious shortcoming of the capital giants can be seen—

sluggishness.

Because the interests that may be involved behind each action of the giants are very huge, they often cannot complete the decision-making in the blink of an eye. The more important the decision-making, the more time it takes. If you are strong, it may become a short board.

In the early stage, sanctioning the "Woman who left" and the "City of Starfall", these are small actions, without any hesitation, Sha Hua Guojue has already made a decision, and quickly followed up, reacting promptly, and acting quickly, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has no problem at all, they have already seized the commanding heights in a blink of an eye.

But now, the sanction order has expired, the "City of Starfall" has been freed from its shackles, and Blue Whale Films has made frequent follow-up actions, which also means that they need to make big moves to complete the suppression. The checks and balances of their interests will also bring conflicts and limit their speed.

In this room, the defection of the echo industry has killed everyone by surprise. The major companies have held emergency meetings, but there is no way to reach a consensus in a short time. The direction and strength of the next strategy can not be determined for a long time, which can be clearly felt Conflicts of interest are becoming more and more apparent.

On the other hand, the release frenzy of "Starfall City" continued to rise, and Echo Theater's defection became a shot in the arm, and the effect was immediate.

Last week, "Starfall City" was screened in 1,700 theaters around the world, and now with the support of Echo Cinemas, the number of theaters has soared to 2,300.

Judging from the number of venues alone, it has already soared to a higher level; more importantly, Echo Theater is also aware of the meaning behind this move, so they need to show determination and courage—

From the location of the venue to the projection screen, we will make full efforts.
