After Liu Jiaan finished speaking, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Some people frowned, some were angry, and some wanted to laugh.

From a neutral perspective, Liu Jiaan was right. The issue of asking Future Group to release the copyright had been discussed countless times, but they were not happy about it.

Also, for this reason, Future Group has already released the copyright of four books, but Shengshi Entertainment is still not satisfied and now wants to force Future Group to make a statement.

In fact, fundamentally speaking, there are more capital and political competitions involved here.

Isn’t Hollywood eager to get the rights to Qiao Su?

Of course they wanted to, but after Qiao Su's identity was made public, they could no longer proceed in this direction. After all, Xu Xuan's competition with Hollywood was already out in the open.

Therefore, after cooperating with Shengshi Entertainment, Hollywood capital began to suppress Future Group.

Zou Huang began to cry: "We are responsible for spreading Chinese culture. It's not that we don't want to innovate and create original works. It's just that Qiao Su's works have natural advantages in adaptation. With the expectation of the general public, only the adaptation of Qiao Su's works can ensure that the capital chain will not be broken."

"We also want to write our own stories and scripts, but it turns out that our own original creations and the experience from abroad show that adaptation is the future of film."

This is indeed true. Whether it is this time and space or the original time and space, adapting the original novel will be the next trend.

Because the original novel has a natural fan base, even if the plot is completely changed, the general direction of the plot and the names and personalities of the characters will not be changed, which gives fans some great expectations.

And what about original movies?

Again, it’s a high probability that one out of ten movies will make money.

Wang Shuo also echoed, "In Eagle Country and Eastern Europe, there are a lot of novel adaptations. Looking at China, apart from chivalrous novels, non-fiction novels have been adapted almost completely. Looking at the entire China, Qiao Su is a huge brand! And Qiao Su has so many works."

Wang Shuo looked at Xu Xuan and said, "If Qiao Su was just an ordinary writer, we wouldn't make it difficult for Future Group. The problem is, Qiao Su only publishes a classic novel in a month. Can Future Group finish filming it?"

When it was Lu Ruzhou's turn, he said, "From investment to filming, a movie takes two months to prepare, and at least three months to shoot. The production cycle of a movie is at least half a year. Even if Qiao Su releases the copyright, our country's directors will not be able to buy all the copyrights in a short time."

"The main thing is that due to script changes, many movies will lose a lot of money for no reason, which also leads to a big change in the stability of the film's revenue. So, in fact, looking back over the past few years, everyone's general direction is to want to cooperate with Future Group, rather than maliciously compete."

If someone says that the higher the position humans hold, the more shameless they become, Lu Ruzhou can also say this.

So the competition with Future Group in recent years has become normal market competition?

Aren't you the ones doing the dirty work?

Liu Jiaan curled his lips, his face showing an expression of extreme contempt.

After the people from Shengshi Entertainment finished speaking, Lou Chao suppressed his smile and looked at Liu Jiaan: "What are you doing? Just say what you want to say, don't be sarcastic."

Liu Jiaan looked at Xu Xuan when he heard this, but Xu Xuan remained very quiet.

He simply turned on the microphone again and looked at Lu Ruzhou: "Well said, movies are like gambling, nine out of ten times you lose. Before filming starts, none of us knows whether it will flop or not, so our Future Group's movies have become an alternative."

"Our movies have never failed because the screenwriter is Qiao Su, is that what you mean?"

Although Lu Ruzhou did not admit Xu Xuan's excellence.

But this is what they came up with.

When has Future Group’s films ever lost money?

there has never been!

Well, the more this happens, the more people in China's film and television circles will force Xu Xuan to produce Qiao Su's works.

Liu Jiaan sneered, "I heard that someone spent 5,000 yuan on a straw hat for his movie? The actors rented costumes for 200 yuan a day? The reimbursed lunch boxes cost 50 yuan a box? What did they eat? Abalone and sea cucumber?"

These words made Lu Ruzhou and others blush.

There is no other reason, these are the unspoken rules of the industry, they can do it but they cannot say it.

What's wrong with 5,000 yuan for a straw hat? It's all the money of the big capitalists, not the director and the crew.

Everyone knows that nine out of ten times, movies lose money in gambling. If you don’t put some thought into this aspect, how can you make money?

Liu Jiaan tore open the industry's unspoken rules in one go, which was taboo again, but who is Liu Jiaan? He doesn't care at all. And if he doesn't fight back against them today, does he have to attend a mediation meeting every month?

"Oh, I also heard that some first-line actresses have been offered 20 million yuan for their films? Oh, that's really scary. In the Future Group, besides our boss lady, who else can be offered 20 million yuan for their films?"

"Twenty million is enough for our group to make a good movie. Leaders, do you know about "Moon"? It's a science fiction movie that cost just over twenty million, but the box office was as high as 5.4 million!"

As soon as Liu Jiaan said this, the leaders at the meeting suddenly exclaimed.

"Moon" is not very famous, and 5.4 million is not too prominent in the current Chinese market.

Therefore, this movie has not received any attention from the State Administration of Film from its release to its withdrawal.

Now after hearing what Liu Jiaan said, I realized that the cost of this science fiction movie was only over 20 million?

Liu Jiaan looked at Wang Shuo coldly, "Some directors' salaries are as high as more than 10 million. Add the actors' salaries, and I heard that the total salary of the actors in a certain movie exceeded 50 million? Tsk tsk, there are so many big names, but how about the effect of the filming?"

Wang Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Where did Future Group spend 500 million yuan on Pacific Rim?"

Liu Jiaan spread his hands and said, "Why do you care about me?"

"you!"

"How much our movies cost is our own business, but we didn't cry that the movies didn't make money. The total investment in Pacific Rim was 500 million, but our goal is to have a global box office of more than 5 billion!"

If any other film and television company said this, they would definitely be ridiculed, but Liu Jiaan represents Future Group, and Future Group already has several films with a global box office of over 5 billion, and some even exceeding 10 billion!

Therefore, Wang Shuo really had nothing to say about Liu Jiaan's criticism.

Seeing that the conversation was about to get awkward, Bian Zhaojun looked at Xu Xuan and said, "Mr. Xu, why are you so silent today? Why don't you say a word?"

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Xu Xuan.

To put it bluntly, no matter how happily Liu Jiaan danced, he could not withstand a word from Xu Xuan.
