Entertainment Empire System

Ye Ming finally made up his mind to support [a murder caused by a steamed bun], but there was nothing he could do about it.

Sister Fang Fang is more prudent. Her many years of work as an agent allow her to see through the impact of opinions at the first time.

Sister Fang Fang thought for a while and said, "Just wait for a while, I'll go find you. Director Feng just came over to find you. We'll talk about other things later. There will be no problem with this matter tomorrow."

This time it was not only Sister Fang Fang who came over, Feng Xiaogang also followed.

Ye Ming put down the document in his hand and said with a smile: "Director Feng heard that the recent filming progress of your movie is quite good. I didn't know that you still have to come to my place when you are so busy. What big thing is worth it?" Come here."

Feng Xiaogang has always been a carefree person, but this time he said very seriously: "I'm here, Ye Zi, just for the sake of Wuji. In the movie Wuji, Brother Chen Kai is determined to win you over. You know Did he just say how much he invested in publicity this time? Two million, that’s enough to make a movie.”

How much did Feng Xiaogang's "Party A and Party B" cost back then? It was only three million, and Ye Ming's "Crazy Stone" was less than two million. But just for the promotion of Wuji, Brother Chen Kai dared to invest two million. , although as a person in the circle, Ye Ming is very clear that this number is watery, but at least more than one million, this number is definitely there.

Looking at this point currently, it is impossible for Ye Ming to compare.

Ye Ming was stunned and said: "This is interesting. Lao Chen doesn't have much money in his hands. How did he get so much courage? The key is, where did he get so much money to invest in publicity. I I heard that Lao Chen’s post-production costs seriously exceeded the budget.”

Some things in the entertainment industry are basically not very secretive to a top star like Ye Ming. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ye Ming knows that the post-production cost of Chen Kaige's movie The Promise exceeded the budget. .

Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming was curious about where Brother Chen Kai's funds came from. Feng Xiaogang rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "You really haven't paid attention to this matter. Does Tang Chen know that the relationship between Tang Chen's boss and Brother Chen Kai is quite good? Do you think those developers can do it without money? ?"

Tomson, Ye Ming said with a smile: "I have heard of this. On the first anniversary of the establishment of the brilliant Shanghai branch, I was hosting the promotion meeting of Tomson. It happened to be opposite. I also pledged to raise two sets of soups. The minister’s house seemed to be priced at 20,000 yuan per square meter at that time, which was the highest subscription price in the Shanghai stock market.”

Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment and said: "Do you still have this relationship with Tomson? I really don't know. I'm surprised that you are so interested in real estate. I heard that your company has won a lot of money in Beijing. There are courtyard houses everywhere, do you have that much confidence in real estate? In Shanghai, the average house price is between more than 8,000 and less than 10,000. You dare to buy a house for 20,000, and you are not afraid of losing money?"

Ye Ming said very confidently: "That is a house that can directly see the Bund. It is transparent from north to south. It is quite good. What I want is the best location. Why don't you think 20,000 yuan is worth it? There It is basically an out-of-print plot of land. If it is built, the 20,000 yuan will not be able to buy it. You will know when the time comes. If Director Feng has extra money, he can invest in a courtyard house. Only those who have permanent property can buy it. Perseverance, I know this very well.”

It's really hard to say how much Feng Xiaogang listened to Ye Ming's words.

At that moment, Feng Xiaogang waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about this later. I'm not here for this problem. Aren't we an offensive and defensive alliance? Although I have been making movies, I have also been paying attention to your affairs. Your Infernal Affairs propaganda, Compared with Wuji's publicity, there is a certain gap. How do you plan to make up for this gap?"

Ye Ming opened his laptop and played "A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" directly. After the video was played, Feng Xiaogang burst out laughing: "You, you are too shameless, you dare to make a short film like this. If Lao Chen really sees this short film, He will fight you tooth and nail."

Ye Ming immediately made his position clear and said: "I did not make this. Our Huihuang.com recently launched a photography competition. At this time, we select some works taken by netizens and determine the ranking based on the number of clicks and downloads. , the first place will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and you can sign a contract with our Huihuang Film and Television or Huihuang.com. This depends on your own personal interests.

Even if Director Chen is angry, it was not shot by us, but by netizens themselves. It was not selected by Europe and the United States, but by netizens themselves. This matter has nothing to do with us at Huihuang.com. We are just saying It just provides a platform. "

In three days, Huihuang.com's "A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" had more than 60,000 clicks and more than 20,000 downloads. The odds are three to one. Such a result is quite incredible. You know, the number of clicks on the Internet It does not mean that it represents the number of downloads. Only registered users can download videos. With 60,000 clicks, it is already quite good to have 30,000 registered users. In other words, in a situation like this, it is actually Two out of every three registered netizens downloaded [A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun]. This time Wuji is truly at a loss for elegance.

Brother Chen Kai was so angry that he smashed everything in the office. He roared: "I spent more than one million yuan in publicity expenses, and the reputation I finally built up was ruined by this small video clip. You Go online and see what those netizens are talking about. Is this what Chen Kai is capable of? What a gangster? This bastard’s spoof short film is more popular than our trailer."

Chen Hong knew that in such a situation, Zhuang Taixia and Chen Kai's mood could be imagined. In such a situation, no one could persuade Chen Kai.

At that moment, Chen Hong could only say helplessly: "Old Chen, a movie edited by a small netizen. What can be done about it? If you are angry with this person, you are giving him face. Why are you doing this? , he doesn’t deserve to make you angry at all.”

Brother Chen Kai actually understood what he said, but in such a situation, it was difficult for Brother Chen Kai to swallow his breath. His eyes were red, and those two glances seemed to kill people and he said: "I know this. But I can't swallow this breath. Wuji is a movie that I have put all my efforts into and bet on my future. No matter what it is, I have no choice but to put all my money into it. You also know that "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is such a failure. The blow to me was considerable, and my right to fail is only this time. If I haven't succeeded this time, I won't even think about making big productions in the future."

In fact, not only does Hollywood have the right to fail, but even China, which has a less-than-perfect film industry, also has the right to fail.

For ordinary directors, if they lose money one time, they won't have much chance the next time. But people like Chen Kai, one of the two great international directors in China, still get special preferential treatment. One failure doesn't mean anything. Therefore, he After [Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin], in fact, at a time like this, there was still a chance to come back again.

Therefore, this Wuji was born.

It is also a big production with an all-star cast. This is the failure of major international directors to receive preferential treatment. But if he fails again this time, then he will no longer have the right to touch a blockbuster. If he chooses to make a small production, then there will be no problem even if Chen Kai fails twice. After all, his reputation is There, but an international director like Chen Kaige, if he is not shooting a big production, his score will be somewhat lowered. At least according to Chen Kaige's opinion, then he will never want such a thing to happen. of.

Therefore, this time he saw [a murder caused by a steamed bun] actually pranked his own Wuji. How could he endure it?

At this time, Brother Chen Kai patted the table very resolutely and said: "Sue, sue, keep suing, you must sue, what is the name of the person who made the video, is it Hu Ge? Spread the word to me, I will sue this bastard, this Is this an infringement of my intellectual property rights? Did I let him use my film clips?"

To be honest, what Brother Chen Kai said is quite reasonable. If you used clips from my movie without my permission at this time, it would be a violation of the law. Therefore, at this time, if I ask the court It would be very easy to sue you in times like this.

At this time, Chen Hong was a little hesitant to sue. Brother Chen Kai is a great director, and every move he makes attracts the attention of many people. Therefore, in such a situation, if the great director Chen Kai goes to sue a small netizen , and the reason used is actually copyright infringement, which is not wrong, but it somewhat shows that a big international director has a relatively small appetite.

This is very detrimental to Brother Chen Kai's reputation. As his wife and manager, Chen Hong is not very willing for such a thing to happen at this time. Therefore, at this time, Chen Hong hesitated and said: "Old Chen, should we consider this matter in the long term? I think it is inappropriate to rashly file a lawsuit."

This matter can actually be litigated, but Brother Chen Kai cannot. At this time, Brother Chen Kai also hesitated, calmed down a little, and then said: "Don't sue yet, but if you tell me, I reserve the right to sue. When the time comes, I will not rule out suing to protect my copyright."

Retaining rights is a moderate approach.

At this time, Hu Ge was immersed in happiness. In this photography competition, he never thought that he would come from behind and be able to stand in the first place. If we look at the development momentum of this event, If so, then the first place in this first online photography competition will definitely be Hu Ge.

However, Hu Ge was not happy about the incident for long. He immediately learned another thing from the Internet, that is, director Chen Kaige had already spoken out and reserved the right to sue Hu Ge and Huihuang.com.

This point of view also caused an uproar on the Internet. For a while, netizens were paying attention to who Hu Ge was and how could He De make director Chen Kaige go to war.

Unexpectedly, after Chen Kai's participation, everyone was very curious about what video made Chen Kai so angry. For a while, [A murder caused by a steamed bun] became a big hit.
