Star Entertainment Tycoon
Chapter 88 Entertainment Tycoon
One advantage of watching movies in a virtual theater is that no matter how much you cry, you don’t have to worry about your eyes getting swollen, and the facial tissues you use don’t need to consume real tree resources, and the money is much cheaper.But the audience still said: Director Gu, you actually made us cry again...
Gu Jingchuan had nothing to say, Shen Zhuo had a rare smile, and the other main creators... They were used to this kind of premiere ceremony that ended in crying.
The release of "Destruction" is accompanied by a rising box office. Such a movie can satisfy the preferences of all ages. Young people may like the love and cool scenes of planet destruction in it, while older people like it. For some discussions, a tragic ending can even touch people's heartstrings.Maybe people just want to watch a movie and have a good cry, to vent the depression and sadness of the whole year, or maybe they are single dogs, and they will be happy when they see a lover not getting married, anyway, "Destroyed" is completely popular!
All the news media put the news related to "Destruction" on the homepage and even the headlines. Some news networks even released titles like "The Crying Emperor set off a wave of crying for the whole people again" to attract readers. My favorite subject to watch, but people in the entertainment circle watched the box office of "Destruction" soar, and couldn't help swallowing.
You must know that in the past, when Gu Jingchuan released movies, he had to share accounts with Instant.com and theater companies, but now it has become Beluga Film Company and Beluga Network Technology Company... It is completely left-handed and right-handed, although the process requires consumption. Some money, but the final box office won't all be his. In this way, his income has not only increased a little, but the whole has doubled!
The panoramic mode of viewing movies also made them greedy. With such a special viewing mode, some scenes of big scenes can catch the audience even more, and the effect of exciting plots will be better, except for some comedies. Except that it is not applicable, other movies will definitely be more effective when promoted in this way.
Moreover, Gu Jingchuan's Beluga Network Technology Company has posted an announcement that from now on, the virtual screening hall welcomes all film and television companies to show movies. The box office share is not expensive, not only cheaper than real theater companies, but also faster Video sites like this one are much cheaper.The theater company is only willing to split the bill with them at most. In addition to splitting the bill in half, Jixun is also willing to talk to them about the advertising revenue. As for the virtual screening hall, they even agreed to split the bill in half, and the advertising fee can also be divided. talk.
In terms of viewing effect, the virtual screening hall is better than the two traditional viewing modes. In terms of revenue, the box office trend of "Destruction" has proved that the box office growth of the virtual screening hall can exceed that of the traditional viewing mode. The method moved these film and television companies even more, it was a 50% account, and advertising revenue, inside and outside they can increase the revenue by [-]% or more, it is a fool not to agree!
The film and television companies that originally drifted away from Moby Whale due to the final result of the Skyline Award immediately posted up again to discuss matters related to the release of the film in the virtual screening hall. Jumping out of the circle to watch the excitement, this made the real theater company's business slump a lot, except for those who had already signed the contract, it was really hard to break the contract, and no film company approached them to discuss new movies. This made those who bought The rich n-generation young masters of equity also feel that the situation is not good.
Theater companies survive by showing movies. If no one talks to them about the sale of movies, wouldn't the theater companies go bankrupt?You must know that they have just acquired these theater companies, and they have spent so much Star Coins, but they have not yet recovered the cost.If all this is lost, the elders behind them will have to take their skins?
The most troublesome thing for them is that even if they want to stop, it is too late. It is impossible for smart businessmen to be willing to take over a theater company that is bound to lose money from them.Now unless some miracle happens, they can only hold these theater companies that are bound to lose money and watch them decline little by little, and eventually die.
The theater company is having a hard time, and He's theme park can only be even more miserable.The name is Movie Theme Park, but in fact, the model of Xianxia Theme Park has completely overlapped with the Xianxia experience area in the virtual reality world.Why do people go to the expensive and troublesome Xianxia theme park when there is a cheaper and more fun Xianxia experience area?
The business of He's theme park is getting worse and worse. Although there are still some more traditional tourists who don't like virtual reality, how many tourists are there?The ticket money sold is not even enough to offset the energy costs and staff salaries to keep the park running!
If it continues to operate like this, every day it runs, He's will lose a day. These theme parks can't recover the cost at all, and they will lose even more. In addition, the part of the loss from the filming of Xianxia movies, and the establishment of He's film company He Xiuping has never made any money since he planned to enter the entertainment circle!
What does this represent?It represented a major mistake in He Xiuping's decision-making, and this major mistake would cause the entire He's company to lose hundreds of billions of star coins.Hundreds of billions of star coins... Even a company like He's cannot afford to lose so much money.With such a big problem, He Xiuping has to pay the price. Either he can use his personal savings to pay for the loss of more than [-] billion yuan, or he has to take the blame and resign and hand over the shares in He's.No other behavior is enough to make up for his mistakes!
He Xiuping's reputation in the He family has never been very good. His life has been too smooth, and he is usually too moody and overly aggressive.No one in the entire He family dared to touch his bad luck, and no one dared to speak ill of him behind his back, otherwise he would be revenged by the moody him.This kind of high-handed rule has made the He family resentful towards him. In the past, they didn't resist because there was no reason to resist. The company's decision-makers might not support the shareholders of the He family, but it's different now. He Xiuping made such a big mistake, and the decision-makers are also dissatisfied with him. They must seize this opportunity and overthrow He Xiuping to the ground.
Everyone in the entire He family was secretly planning their own calculations, even He Xiuping's biological brothers began to calculate what benefits they would get after overthrowing He Xiuping.He Xiuping's father, the former chairman of the He family, was also a little dissatisfied with his son, and even the news of changing the chairman of the company secretly spread in the company.
It's not that He Xiuping is unaware of these situations, but he has already reached this point, so he can only move forward and not retreat.It is no longer possible to take back the past decisions, and he couldn't think of any way to get out of the predicament for a while. This is different from the disintegration of the film crew and the theme park crisis later. Those problems are small problems. He can think Find a way to make up for it.But now, Gu Jingchuan is pulling the trigger and attacking his most fundamental and weakest place. Unless he can turn the theme park in his hand into another enterprise, there is no way for him to evade Gu Jingchuan's attack.
But his problem is the same as those of the rich n generations. Now that this is the case, who else is willing to take over the theme park industry, which is bound to lose money?
The theme park can't be resold. Selling the machines and land should reduce some of the losses, but He's is still doomed to lose tens of billions.It is impossible for He Xiuping's personal funds to cover such a large number of tens of billions. After all, no one would keep so much money around without spending it on investment.Even if He Xiuping immediately sells those properties in his hands, it is obviously not enough to satisfy the appetites of other people in the He family, and this big somersault will definitely trip him up.
In the chairman's office of He's Company, He Xiuping sat on the boss chair he always liked very much, shaking the crimson red wine in his hand.The expression on his face was not as relaxed as in the past. He frowned, and his expression became indifferent and fierce, like a jackal who had been cornered. He lost his usual cunning and only had the consciousness to fight to the death.
The failure of the investment made him irritable, and what made him even more troubled was because of the theater company's problems. Song, Han, Wang and Yang were all full of hostility towards him.Maybe these family businesses didn't lose as much money as He's, but He Xiuping threatened the elders and young masters of these companies with imprisonment and dragged them into troubled waters.
The business scope of these family businesses also includes light industry and Internet. They could have established a good relationship with Gu Jingchuan and entered the virtual reality world, but because of He Xiuping's threat, they have already stood on the opposite side of Gu Jingchuan. Are you being surpassed by your peers?
Taking people's money is like killing their parents. These family businesses have forgotten that their descendants had an accident that offended Gu Jingchuan first, and instead threw all their anger on He Xiuping.These companies joined forces to put pressure on He's, and must pull He Xiuping from the position of chairman, which undoubtedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
He Xiuping knew that his resignation was only a matter of time, but he didn't want to admit his failure.He is a smart man, he has always been smooth sailing, he is absolutely unwilling to admit that he has failed, and even lost in the hands of Gu Jingchuan, an orphan he despises!
He Xiuping drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, threw the glass on the ground and smashed it to pieces.He still has a chance, he must still have a chance, even if he wants to lose, he has to pull Gu Jingchuan down before he loses!
Yes, he still has a video website in his hand, and he still has connections with the country. He must let Gu Jingchuan also taste the taste of failure!
Gu Jingchuan didn't know about He Xiuping's situation, if he knew, he would definitely use snake spirit disease to describe this guy who fell into madness.He Xiuping has reached a desperate situation, the only way he can defeat Gu Jingchuan now is to rely on the country and the video website in his hands.But before He Xiuping could make a move, Gu Jingchuan had already made some moves in advance.
His virtual reality world is actually entirely based on the Guangxun website, but it just turns the original plain webpage into a virtual world that is more in line with customers' ideas.Whether it is the normal area or the magic area, they are actually just programs, one website after another.The essence of surfing the Internet has not changed, but new effects have been produced through technological means.
Gu Jingchuan didn't intend to monopolize such a new technology that subverts history, so he directly proposed to cooperate with the country.The benefits of virtual reality technology to the military and technological fields are beyond doubt, and economically, it can also create more wealth.
The country fully agrees with Gu Jingchuan's idea of cooperation. After a round of discussions, the final result is that the country will work with Beluga Network Technology Co., Ltd. to develop new fields and new technologies for virtual reality. The right to limit the time they are put on the market, and the state can also share a part of the current wealth and future wealth created by virtual reality technology.
Now that the country has already shared a piece of the pie, it is of course necessary to consider how to reciprocate.The state removed the restrictive clauses on the video website, and demoted or dismissed several officials who colluded with He's, making He's use of the video website to freeze Moby Dick Film Company completely invalid.
He Xiuping originally wanted to use the power of the video network to force other film and television companies to join his alliance to deal with Gu Jingchuan, but now he can only grit his teeth.
The restriction on the video website is opened, who cares whether the instant website he holds in his hand is the largest video website in Huaguo?If these film and television companies want to release film and television dramas on the video network, the big deal is to set up a video website by themselves. As long as there are excellent film and television dramas to support, are they afraid that this video website will not become the next Jixun.com?
What He Xiuping did was obviously pushing these film and television companies to the opposite of him. Those film and television companies who were eager to flatter Gu Jingchuan and wanted to show their movies in the virtual theater would be fine if they didn't hurt He Xiuping. How could they help him?The bosses of these film and television companies are all smart people, and they have already seen that He Xiuping's position in He's is not stable.Offending He Xiuping at this time does not mean offending He's company, but it will make He's newly appointed chairman feel good about them.Then why did they listen to He Xiuping?
There has been a saying in the entertainment circle that whoever buys Jixun.com and joins He Xiuping is the enemy of the entire entertainment circle.And as an enemy of the entire entertainment industry, do you still want to do business in video websites or film and television in the future?
In the end, He Xiuping could only sadly resign from the position of chairman of the He Corporation and hand over all the shares in his hands. Maybe he can still be a rich man in the future, but his future is completely over...
Having defeated He Xiuping, Gu Jingchuan showed a smile.His smile is not because he has defeated an opponent, but because he has finally mastered the right to speak in the entire entertainment industry. Rather than saying that he has become an entertainment tycoon, it is better to say that he has become an entertainment tycoon.
What Gu Jingchuan wanted was never power, but without power he couldn't do many things.He wants to build the rules and regulations of the entertainment industry, and wants to curb some dark things from happening before the entertainment industry enters glory.He wants the entertainment industry to develop healthily and fairly, and not to become deformed and distorted like his previous life...
Such an idea cannot be accomplished overnight, but Gu Jingchuan is full of hope for the future.All the setbacks in the past can't destroy his dream, and he believes that this time he can also turn his dream into reality.What's more, there is one more person beside him now, Shen Zhuo...
Shen Zhuo was looking at the album on the star brain, although there was no obvious expression on his face, but Gu Jingchuan could see the irritability in his heart.Feeling that Gu Jingchuan was looking at him, Shen Zhuo frowned and said, "These clothes don't look the same, so just pick one at random..."
Alas, it seems that it is really difficult for Shen Zhuo to choose a dress that he will wear when he gets married... Gu Jingchuan smiled, "It's okay, I will help you choose."
They have a long time ahead, maybe forever...
