Chapter 981: Douyin Begins to Rise! The National Teacher Embraces the Capital Enlightenment Wanda! Revenge!

Chapter 981: Douyin begins to rise! The national teacher embraces the enlightenment of capital... Wanda! Revenge!

After a night, the time came to the morning of the 17th.

After getting up in the morning, on the way to the crew, Chen Fei saw a lot of new hot searches on Weibo.

"Regarding the cheating, sports star Lin Dan said: As a man, I will not make more excuses for myself, but my behavior hurt my family, and I apologize to my family here."

"Hollywood's top actress Scarlett Johansson came to Pengcheng today to hold a fan meeting for the Huawei mobile phone she endorsed, and revealed that "Avengers 3: Infinity War" is currently in preparation and is expected to start filming in the first half of next year."

"After Dilraba Dilmurat joined the Douyin platform, she released her first "head shaking dance" video yesterday afternoon, which received 10.721 million likes, 14,000 comments, 39,000 collections, 204,000 reposts, and 10.26 million fans!"

...

"Alas, this Scarlett, she is really fast-talking."

Seeing that his Weibo comment area was surrounded by a large number of Marvel fans, Chen Fei couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

It has been a year and a half since the release of Avengers 2, but there has been no movement in the third part, which makes many Marvel fans very difficult to accept.

After all, in their opinion, this kind of super blockbuster should be released one a year, until it "dies"!

As for the "Marvel's ten-year layout", many people don't want to pay attention to it at all.

Now, what domestic fans never expected is that the long-awaited "Avengers 3" finally has news!

Scarlett's words "shooting will start next year" directly blew up the domestic Marvel fan circle!

You know, she is the actor of "Black Widow", a member of the main cast.

So, how could the words coming out of her mouth be false?

As the director of the "Avengers" series, Chen Fei has unsurprisingly become the target of "siege" by many fans.

"Director Chen, please give us a definite answer. When will the filming of Avengers 3 start?"

"Avengers 2 was about a civil war, so when it comes to Avengers 3, it should be a gathering of the Avengers, right?"

"I'm so excited! It will be finished in the first half of next year, and will it be released in the second half?"

"Chen Fei! Can you hurry up? Why are you shooting Medicine God? Just go straight to Avengers 3! I'm almost dying of waiting."

"Also! When will Ready Player One be released? I'm confused. You're taking too long. Can't you shoot two movies at the same time?"

New messages kept popping up in the Weibo comment area, especially those messy private messages, which made the pop-up windows on the phone start to "ding ding dong dong".

Helplessly, Chen Fei had to close the pop-up message prompts and temporarily handed the phone to his assistant for safekeeping.

"Hey? You want to watch "Avengers 3" so much? You want the "Avengers" to gather together? Great, it will start shooting next year, and we will definitely satisfy your wishes. I just hope... you will never regret watching it when the time comes!"

When he thought that many people might cry because of the plot of "Avengers 3", Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh.

He is actually a director with a "bad taste", especially giving fans "surprises", which is what he likes to do most.

As for whether fans will have drastic emotional fluctuations because of this, it has nothing to do with him!

At the same time, when the new day of shooting of "Dying to Survive" started, many people in the entertainment industry fixed their eyes on Dilireba and Douyin app.

Jiaxing Media, in the chairman's office.

"You mean, that Dilireba just posted a very simple 'head shaking dance' video, and then gained 10 million fans?"

"Yes, Mr. Zeng." The director of Jiaxing Media's artist management department nodded and said: "Now many management companies and studios in the circle have noticed this. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a large number of stars entering Douyin in the future."

Hearing this, Zeng Jia immediately fell into deep thought.

She officially embarked on the road of artist management after joining Rong Xinda in 2000, so she naturally knew what "gaining 10 million fans a day" meant.

If these fans are converted into "money" to calculate, it is definitely an astronomical figure!

"Mr. Zeng, I went to learn about the Douyin app yesterday. This software is not simple!"

"Oh? Tell me? How is it not simple?"

"According to the information I have learned, Douyin was built with the support of Toutiao. The latter has been diverting traffic to the former, and the latter's current position in the industry is not low. The daily active volume of its entertainment news section is no less than that of the three major portals..."

"So what do you mean?" Zeng Jia has already had a vague guess.

"I suggest that we can let all the artists under the company reach cooperation with Douyin, enter the platform, create new personalities, and embark on this new wave of traffic.

Douyin is coming with great momentum this time. It signed Di Lieba as soon as it broke out. It is obvious that it is going to be big. If we can enter the market in advance, we may get dividends, just like today's Weibo, and become another new publicity platform..."

These words undoubtedly touched Zeng Jia's heart.

You know, the publicity funds invested by the company in artists every year are an astronomical figure!

If Weibo wants to make any move, it will cost a lot of money, and the starting price is at least 300,000 to 500,000.

And if this money is invested in other channels, it may create quite amazing results.

Thinking of this, Zeng Jia suddenly felt itchy: "You can go to Douyin to communicate first and see what conditions they can give us, especially in terms of traffic support, we must strive for the maximum benefit!"

"Okay, Mr. Zeng, I will arrange it now."

The director of Jiaxing's artist management department quickly left Zeng Jia's office and went to communicate with the business department of Douyin.

And such situations are not only happening on Jiaxing's side. Other companies including Huayi, Chengtian, Rongxinda, Tianyu Media, Mango, Taiyang Chuanhe, Hesong Media, Lehua Entertainment, Times Junfeng, etc., almost all locked their eyes on Douyin at the same time.

For a while, it was Weibo that was under more pressure!

Seeing that Douyin was rising rapidly, Cao Guowei felt like someone was going to enter the market to grab meat from him!

…

The morning passed very quickly, and it passed in a blink of an eye.

When it was afternoon, a notice from the Film Bureau instantly attracted the attention of countless people in the film and television industry.

"The ancient costume, martial arts, and action-themed film script "Shadow" submitted by LeTV Pictures and written by Zhang Yimou has now been officially reviewed and the crew can start filming with a filming license..."

When this notice appeared, the industry suddenly became lively.

Many actresses who had already submitted their resumes were eagerly waiting to be notified to audition.

However, many people don't know that the audition for "Shadow" started as early as the day the script was submitted for review.

Now, more than a week has passed, and some people have even received notifications on whether the audition was successful.

Take Zhang Ziyi for example.

She received a call within less than five minutes after the Film Bureau issued the notice.

The person who called her was not Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Mo.

The second-generation director was not polite to her at all. After dialing the phone, he said directly: "Ms. Zhang Ziyi, I'm sorry, your audition did not pass."

When she got this result, Zhang Ziyi seemed to have experienced another breakdown!

She especially wanted to ask Zhang Yimou what went wrong with her? Why was she passed after only one audition?

However, unfortunately, she did not get a reply from Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Mo just used the reason "Director Zhang is currently auditioning for other roles" to ruthlessly send her away.

While Zhang Ziyi was trying to calm down, the father and daughter had a brief conversation in Zhang Yimou's studio on the other side.

"Have you notified Zhang Ziyi?"

"Yes, I've already told her."

"Make another phone call and tell Deng Chao and Sun Li that the male and female roles will be given to them this time."

"Dad?"

"No need to say more. After comprehensive consideration, they are the most suitable couple."

Seeing that Zhang Yimou had made up his mind, Zhang Mo did not continue to persuade him, but turned around and walked into the room next to him and started making a phone call.

At this time, in the audition room, Zhang Yimou was already calling out the next audition role.

"Let Guan Xiaotong come in."

"Okay."

The casting assistant director nodded and ran out to call people.

While waiting, Zhang Yimou's eyes suddenly fell on the resumes of Deng Chao and Sun Li, who had already been confirmed.

"Are they the best among all the actors who came to audition?"

He asked secretly in his heart, but the result was "No"!

But even so, he still chose Deng Chao and Sun Li, two actors who were barely in the upper-middle level in this audition.

The reason is very simple, because they are also victims of the collapse of LeTV's stock price, and in terms of film remuneration, they both want the least.

Of course, there is also the most crucial point!

That is, the couple had privately approached Zhang Yimou and offered very generous conditions that he could not refuse.

And he, who is affectionately called "National Master" by many fans, did not refuse, because he has decided to formally embrace capital.

"Shadow" is just the beginning, this is his practice of embracing capital.

After the film is finished and completely separated from LeTV, he will use his reputation accumulated over the past few decades to exchange for enough benefits for "retirement" and "child rearing"!

The door of the audition room was suddenly pushed open slowly, and Guan Xiaotong walked in behind the audition assistant director.

"Director Zhang;"

"Well, come on, you should already know the content of the audition, right?"

"Yeah, I know."

Guan Xiaotong nodded gently, and performed in front of the camera without waiting for Zhang Yimou to give any questions.

Compared with other auditioners, she had already used her connections to find someone, so she obviously enjoyed privileges like a "VIP".

And today, she came to the audition site just to go through the motions.

At the same time, in the waiting area outside the door, Liu Haocun's mother was comforting her softly: "Doudou, you don't have to be too sad. It's enough for us to come here this time just to get familiar with Director Zhang.

My family has already found a good relationship for you. Although our asking price for "Shadow" is much lower than others, we have already booked Director Zhang's next movie in advance.

When the time comes, you will be the number one female lead in the movie, a ‘fifth-generation plot girl’, instead of being like the second female lead in “Shadow”. "

"Yeah, okay mom, I understand."

Liu Haocun, who had his hair combed into a bun, responded gently, and the two small balls on the back of his head were also shaking up and down. With his pure and flawless face, he seemed to be quite harmless.

However, this harmless girl is not simple at all.

After the conversation with her mother ended, she raised her eyes and looked at the other post-2000 actresses on the left and right who came to audition for the role of "Qing Ping", and a hint of joking gradually formed on the corner of her mouth.

"My house has been prepared for me, so what about your house?"

…

As the afternoon flew by, in the blink of an eye, it was already 12 o'clock in the morning on the 18th.

While Chen Fei was discussing the physiology of men and women on the bed with Liu Yifei in his arms, "I'm Not Fan Jinlian" directed by Feng Xiaogang and starring Fan Bingbing was officially released.

Some commercial films pay great attention to the box office in the early morning hours, because many young people still like to watch a movie in the middle of the night, and then take their girlfriends to the hotel to "play" for a few hours.

However, this definitely does not include "I am not Phan Jinlian".

Because many people in China do not like the word "Fan Jinlian", and Feng Xiaogang's previous actions offended many college students, the film's midnight box office was very poor.

This fact was also verified when the zero-point box office results of "I'm Not Phan Kim Lien" came out three days later.

It's just that, along with the exposure of the movie's box office results, it also led to an extremely "shocking" piece of news!

"Produced by Huayi and Dongyang Meila Pictures, directed by Feng Xiaogang, written by Liu Zhenyun, and starring Fan Bingbing, Guo Tao, and Dapeng, the midnight box office revenue was only 1.31 million."

"According to reports from theaters, on the first day of its release, the comprehensive film scheduling rate of major theaters across the country reached an astonishing 31.3%! Although the film is not classified as a traditional Lunar New Year movie, its The film schedule on the first day is already comparable to those high-profile Lunar New Year commercial blockbusters.”

"Emergency situation! It is reported that a person familiar with the matter said that Huayi had previously expected the film's comprehensive screening rate to be 40% to 45%, but the current data is very different from this number, and special circumstances are suspected to have occurred... "

"Latest information: According to statistics from Maoyan, more than 300 movie theaters under Wanda Cinemas across the country only gave an ultra-low 5% screening rate on the first day of the release of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian"! And The film's screening time is obviously contrary to the prime time slots of theaters..."

"Wanda! Huayi... The conflict between the two giants in the industry has completely intensified. The reason cannot be ruled out that at the beginning of the year, the latter used unfair means to poach a large number of theater executives with non-compete agreements from the former..."

Inside the set of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

At this time, the entire crew was paying attention to the sudden situation between Huayi and Wanda that was leaked on Weibo.

Ren Zhonglun even called from Shanghai. The first thing he said was: "Chen Fei, do you know something?"

"It has been exposed by the media on the Internet. Can't Mr. Ren know it by himself if he takes a look? There is no need to waste phone calls to ask me, right?"

"Hey, you." Ren Zhonglun not only did not hang up the phone, but also muttered: "I'm just wondering why this method is so familiar. Isn't this your operation against Anle Pictures? Hey, Wanda was actually Learned from it..."

In the next half hour or so, Chen Fei received calls from Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin, Gu Yongqiang, Huo Qigang and others.

Not surprisingly, the goals of several people are very clear.

"Do we at Pan-Asia Cinemas need to cooperate with Wanda?" Huo Qigang seemed to be watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, and he was excitedly preparing to help Wanda.

"Cooperate? No need." Chen Fei replied calmly: "We just have to look at the market. If the box office of "I'm Not Fan Jinlian" is too bad, it naturally means that the movie is not very popular. The theater chain only needs to follow the Just adjust the regulations.”

"Hey! Okay! I understand, it's according to the rules, I understand..."

Huo Qigang happily hung up the phone, and then gave instructions directly to the managers of major theaters in the group.

"Always pay attention to the box office situation of "I am not Fan Jinlian". If the box office on the first day is less than 100 million, the film schedule will be cut in half. When it falls below 50 million, it will be cut in half again. If it falls below 20 million, then the film will be cut in half directly. to less than 10%, and all the excess will be divided between "Donkey in Water" and "Doctor Strange".

Then after "La La Land" is officially released, the film schedule of "I'm Not Phan Kim Lien" will be directly cut to less than 5%, and all the excess support will be given to Mr. Chen..."

Not long after the message was sent, a long list of "received" appeared underneath!

Seeing this, Huo Qigang smiled with satisfaction and turned off his phone.

At the same time, Jiang Zhihao, who was in Xiangjiang, was looking at the news on the Internet, and felt an inexplicable feeling of fear but expectation.

It is obvious that Huayi is now also facing the same suppression that Anle Pictures had faced before!

He is now looking forward to the two brothers of the Wang family standing up to resist, because as long as Huayi can successfully break Wanda's control, it will also give him hope!

By then, he can completely learn from Huayi's behavior of fighting Wanda and protest against Pan Asia Cinema Line.

"You must succeed! It's up to you next, Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun, Feng Xiaogang... Come on! You must break a way out and guide me in the right direction!"
