Star Entertainment Tycoon

He Shi is strong, but also fragile.Its vulnerability is not in itself, but in the fact that the relationship between him and his allies is too easily destroyed.Even if there is nothing wrong with He's itself, as long as Gu Jingchuan grasps its allies, He's will not be able to use any means.

It must also be said that the He family is really too greedy. A film company has teamed up with more than a dozen other film and television companies to co-produce a film, and the appetite is really a little bit bigger.It can be seen that He's has great ambitions. It intends to make a movie that can rival the box office of "Shen Xiao" at once. It also borrows the idea of ​​​​a movie with stars in the history of the earth, hoping to take a shortcut all at once.But He Shi ignored a very important issue.

There are indeed star-studded movies in the era of the earth's calendar, but the star-studded movies are not so easy to make.Even if it is criticized and despised by others, the shooting of a star-studded movie is a very difficult thing in itself.With so many stars put together, who will be the protagonist and who will be the supporting role?Why let an equally famous star be willing to play a supporting role?This kind of actor coordination is simply terribly difficult, and it is not something ordinary people can play.

Therefore, the star-studded movies in the earth's calendar are either a group of stars who have a good relationship with the crew or the director, and make a guest appearance in a ticket style to complete a movie.Or a behemoth film and television company pushes all its star actors to stage a movie, and uses contracts to force these people to submit.Otherwise, only the state takes the lead to coordinate the relationship between so many celebrities, so as not to make them feel resentful.

The He family doesn't care about any of these three things. Although the group company is very rich, it's obvious that money doesn't mean you can get along in the entertainment industry.Even if the He family not only finds film companies from the new forces, but also finds some companies from the old forces as a balance, such an internal covenant is still so fragile that it can be broken at the first glance.He was easily crushed and scattered by Gu Jingchuan.

In the original loose alliance, the new forces and the old forces have reached a fragile balance, but now that the new forces have left so many at once, the old forces have instantly gained the upper hand.He's wants to regain control of the balance of the alliance. Joining other new force film companies will depend on whether the old forces are willing to agree. Even if the old forces agree, so many new force companies will withdraw together. Dare to join He's alliance?

So the pseudo-boy's vision is very accurate. He said at the beginning that for film and television companies, the work is the most important.The aggressive start of He's Group was the follow-up fairy tale film, and all their actions were carried out around this follow-up film, so as long as the crew of this film was dismantled, the aggressive He's Group could be wiped out. Returning to the original shape, it will be difficult to get up in a short time.

"Can't they put this movie on hold for a while and build another crew first?" Shen Zhuo asked curiously.

"Yes, of course. But if you don't make this star-studded movie, what about the movie theme parks under construction under He's?" Gu Jingchuan asked with a smile: "He's already invested tens of billions of stars in it. The coin is gone, is the work suspended? You must know that the content of this movie theme park is completely in line with the script of the star movie they shot. Now that the movie is gone, what is the name of the theme park? The theme of the park has been declared for a long time, isn’t it? He can change it as he says, even if he wants to change it, the law also stipulates the issue of copyright. If they forcefully build it, it will only make a joke after it is built."

"Then instead of making star-studded movies, how about actors from He's company participating in the filming?" Shen Zhuo didn't know much about the entertainment company, so he asked with some doubts.

"It's not impossible for a company to make a fairy tale film. But the problem is that He's signed an agreement with the remaining seven companies to jointly produce a movie. These companies are still under pressure because of the benefits promised by He's." Withdrew. He said that if he left them, he would leave them behind and change to making movies by himself. These seven companies have been busy for a long time and have not made any money, so how can they let it go?" Gu Jingchuan smiled.

"Okay, even if He's able to suppress the anger of these companies, give them some benefits from other aspects, and send them away. Just rely on a new film company of He's, with a script that doesn't have much depth after following the trend With a crew that doesn’t even have a box-office appealing actor and director, can anyone watch the film? Even if people watch it, how will it be scolded against the backdrop of “Shen Xiao”?”

"Although the movie's box office has nothing to do with being scolded, maybe it will become more and more popular, but the movie theme park based on this movie will be dragged down, and it is very likely that the audience will boycott it. , unwilling to play. Once a chain reaction is formed, the He family, who has invested countless star coins in the park, will really throw the money in the water for nothing."

Gu Jingchuan shook the red wine in the glass and drank it down, "The more anxious the He family is now, the more they will sink into the mud. The current situation is originally caused by the He's group's strides too far, and the foundation is not stable. , so the only way to save the situation is not to go fast, but to slow down, and only when things slow down can there be a turnaround."

"If it were me, I should immediately hire excellent screenwriters to rewrite the script of Xianxia movies, so that the script can break away from the category of follow-up movies and become more refined, which can be recognized by the audience. Then recruit, go to other companies to dig Whether you are a person, let yourself have some actors and behind-the-scenes staff recognized by the audience. In the end, whether it is to seek allies or shoot by yourself, as long as the publicity is effective, even if it does not reach the box office level of "Shen Xiao", you can still get it. Approved by the audience. At this time, the movie theme park is open, and there is no need to worry about losing money.”

Shen Zhuo obviously understood Gu Jingchuan's subtext, "If you do this, how long will it take for He's fairy tale film to be released?"

Gu Jingchuan raised the corners of his mouth and showed a gentle smile, "It probably won't work next year, maybe it will be released at the beginning of next year."

"At that time, "Shen Xiao 2" had been released for almost a year. I guess your other new movies were about to be released. At that time, how did the He family gain popularity from the "Shen Xiao" series? Didn't their movie become so popular?" Does it have nothing to do with "Shen Xiao"? It doesn't count as following the trend, it doesn't even have any relationship." Shen Zhuo said.

"It's probably like this. Following the trend and gaining popularity are not legitimate means of competition. I'm helping the He family get back to the right path, lest they go astray and lose their long-term competitiveness." The pseudo-boy said seriously, As if he really cared about people that much.

In the end, He Shi still chose the slow and steady method that Gu Jingchuan "thought of for them", gave up following the trend of filming, and changed to steady and steady progress, moving forward slowly.The whole operation of the He family was quite anticlimactic. At the beginning, it was aggressive, but in the end, it could only temporarily avoid the edge. Not only did it lose a month or two of filming expenses for the crew, but it also had to pay for the demands of allies. Going out, can be said to be a complete failure.

But Gu Jingchuan was secretly shocked when he saw He's actions.Bystanders are clear, authorities are obsessed, the more you invest, the more reluctant to let go.He's not only spent a lot of money for this follow-up film, but also involved many forces. Gu Jingchuan thought that the head of the He's company would hesitate for a while before making the right decision, but he didn't expect that the He's would be able to make a decision. Gu Jingchuan was also a little startled by this kind of decisiveness, and chose the right direction cleanly.

The pseudo-boy could tell that He Shi's initial series of actions both overestimated his talent and underestimated his talent.It is because they believe in Gu Jingchuan's level of filmmaking, and because they underestimate his methods of dealing with others.He Shi was almost tripped because he didn't expect his action to be so sudden.But judging from the decision-making ability of the person in power, this person is definitely a smart person, so it is obviously impossible for him to use this method to deal with this smart person next time.

He Shi, He Xiuping, and Gu Jingchuan read this person's name and nodded, he remembered this person...

Because He finally chose to back down, the filming of the second part of "Shen Xiao" went smoothly and was completed without any twists and turns.With the first film as a background, the shooting speed of the second film was much faster. The actors and behind-the-scenes personnel adapted to this shooting method very well, and the filming of the entire film was completed faster than expected.

The behind-the-scenes work is still boring, but for the fake teenager who really loves movies and has some mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is his favorite thing to do.And just when director Gu Da devoted all his attention to the later stage of the film, the registration for the new Chen Xing Award had already started.

Gu Jingchuan has no interest in the Chenxing Award, a film award made by the old forces. The taste of this award is too weird. It is estimated that even if the winning works of several major film award film festivals in the earth's history are awarded to the Chenxing Award, it is impossible to get one. nominate.

Gu Jingchuan counted the films of Moby Dick Company for the whole year, but he didn't see any work that was so weird that it could be nominated for the Star Award, so he had no interest in applying for this film, so he simply pretended not to know.

However, Gu Jingchuan and Beluga Company can pretend that the Chenxing Award does not exist, but the Chenxing Award cannot pretend that they do not exist.The live broadcast of the previous year's awards ceremony almost broke the lower limit of ratings, and the influence of the Chenxing Awards has fallen again and again, and there is no need to fall any further.If this year's Chenxing Awards continue like this, then I'm afraid there will be no video network that is willing to broadcast the Chenxing Awards next year. If it continues to develop, even the news media that are willing to publish the list of winners will be greatly reduced.Isn't the Chenxing Award going to exist in name only or be banned directly?

The Film Critics Association is not willing to give up the Chenxing Award no matter what.Since the rise of new forces, the life of film critics has become more and more difficult. If the Chenxing Award is abandoned, wouldn't their influence be lost?How is that different from being unemployed?

Since they want the Chenxing Awards to improve, the Film Critics Association can only make some compromises. They need people who can pull live broadcasts to join the awards ceremony. Then who in Huaguo can increase the ratings more than Gu Jingchuan and Beluga? Woolen cloth?

"Invite Beluga Company to participate in the registration for the Chenxing Award? And invite members of Beluga Company to participate in the award ceremony?" Gu Jingchuan said it was clearly a question, but he used an affirmative tone, and looked at Qi Zhao in front of him suspiciously.

"Yes, the Film Critics Association gave the company an official invitation letter to invite the company to participate in the Chenxing Awards. I guess they really can't hold on, and if they don't let go, I'm afraid no one will watch the Chenxing Awards." Qi Zhao shrugged, obviously Don't take the Film Critics Association seriously.

"However, boss. Although the Film Critics Association is nothing, the Chenxing Award is the only film and television award in Huaguo. Although our company's box office and ratings are very high, it lacks a sense of justification. There are still Internet hackers like to bring out the fact that our company did not win the award and talk about it everywhere, why don't we also participate in the Chenxing Award and completely shut their mouths."

Gu Jingchuan didn't answer, instead he shook his head, paused, and said, "Want to shut up the mouths of cybercriminals? Not to mention winning the Chenxing Award once, even if we win the Chenxing Award every time, the trophies can fill the entire company. They can still find an excuse if they want to be black. So this is not a reason why we have to participate in the Star Awards."

Qi Zhao thought for a while, and felt that what Gu Jingchuan said made more sense than him, but he still said: "The Film Critics Association not only invited our company, but also invited other new power companies, even the He family, which has not yet released any works. Received the invitation letter. As far as I know, more than 80% of the new power film and television companies have decided to sign up for the Chenxing Award."

Hearing Qi Zhao's words, Gu Jingchuan nodded, "Did so many new power companies be invited to the awards ceremony? It seems that the Film Critics Association can't stand it this time. Then let's go too!"

Qi Zhao didn't expect Gu Jingchuan to change his mind, and looked at his boss in surprise, wondering why he changed his mind.

"We went to participate in the Chenxing Award, not to win awards, but to unite companies from new forces." Gu Jingchuan gave his answer, "No matter how impatient I am with this Chenxing Award, since other new force companies attach great importance to awards , then Beluga cannot be too out of the group. No matter how we feel about other new power companies, Beluga has become the nominal leader of these companies. So in public, Beluga has to compete with other new forces The company must advance and retreat together, and must not show a sense of 'civil strife' to others."

Qi Zhao understands what Gu Jingchuan means. The companies of the new forces still have not won a big victory. Although the opponents have been retreating steadily, they have not surrendered after all. Therefore, it is not time for this crude alliance to be disbanded, and the White Whale Company is needed to maintain it. .

"Okay, I will sort out the films released by the company this year and apply for registration, so as to be consistent with other companies."

Gu Jingchuan didn't say anything, just nodded.A so-called award does not appeal to him, nor does it affect his emotions enough.If the Film Critics Association really compromised, then of course it would be best. If they still planned to resist, then before he could make a move, these people would self-destruct.

Gu Jingchuan didn't care about the Chenxing Award at all, but after Shen Zhuo knew about it, he helped him check the list of candidates for each award.Each of the several films released by Moby Dick this year has received several nominations, and "Shen Xiao" has even been nominated for Best Actor. The TV series "Explorer" swept all the TV nominations.Other new force companies also have nominations for their works. Generally speaking, the total number of nominations of these new force companies is almost equal to the total number of old force companies.

Such a one-to-one situation is already very rare for the Chenxing Awards that the Film Critics Association has just compromised, so the new power companies did not express any puzzled or angry feelings, and they all expressed their desire to participate in this year's Chenxing Awards Award presentation.

Gu Jingchuan could have chosen not to go to this kind of awards ceremony, but seeing that the bosses of other companies would attend, he agreed to go to the meeting as good as he could.
