After sending Wu Jing and Guo Fan out of the lounge, Gao Yuanyuan turned around and said, "I thought you arranged for them to go to Hollywood just to cultivate them and enrich the director team of Han and Tang Dynasties."
With a tone full of resentment, he said: "Okay, I didn't expect our Mr. Lu to hide so deeply in the industrialization of the film, Zizi~"
"That's what I had in mind."
Lu Fei took her into his arms and comforted her, "A big country should have a film industry worthy of a big country. It should not only be high in box office, but also have a wide range of genre films with high quality and excellent quality. The whole industry should be upstream and downstream." The system is complete!”
"Then you have so many thoughts in your stomach, but you haven't said anything to me. Is it intentional or accidental?"
Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes angrily.
"Of course it was accidental. I didn't think much about it at all." Lu Fei asked her to sit on his lap. "I didn't see the two of them until I suddenly had this idea."
In fact, the industrialization of film is not just a whim.
As early as after joining the WTO, it was clear that Hollywood's share of imported films would be liberalized. The Chinese film industry was practicing martial arts frantically. Regardless of external or internal skills, as long as it could become stronger and hold on to the local box office.
So much so that he became possessed.
Focusing only on marketization and scale, there are more and more theater chains, more and more screens, more and more output, and higher and higher box office.
But without high-quality movies, there is no box office market.
Not only has it become a piece of Hollywood's cakewalk, but it has also become a hotbed of rubbish such as traffic stars and fan movies, just like it did in its previous life.
What’s the use of shouting about billions in box office and high box office records all day long?
After "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha", have Chinese comics risen? Just a few shooting stars!
Only when the commercial system produces short-lived flowers can the industrial system produce mass production!
Although Marvel has misled Hollywood, they have tried their best to play with the universe, play with special effects and create a piece of shit made of chocolate.
But there is a fundamental difference between chocolates made from shit like "Four Seas" and "Man Jiang Hong", not to mention the likes of "Shanghai Fortress" and "Tiny Times", which are not even as good as shit-flavored chocolates.
Mr. Lu wants to focus on cinema lines and develop the market with one hand, and industry with the other to ensure quality and quantity. He must focus on both hands, and he must be tough!
As for having another hand...
"Forget it, I forgive you."
Gao Yuanyuan put her hands around his neck, "Because what you said is good, but I still have to punish you. I will punish you to help me arrange to go to Hollywood. I also want Wu Jing and others to learn the operation of the film industry, and the production will be exempted." Well, just hire an assistant director..."
Lu Fei agreed, "We'll go as soon as the Olympics are over, and we can still go on vacation." He leaned into her ear and said with a wicked smile, "Just the two of us."
Gao Yuanyuan hummed, and her red lips pressed on it proactively.
"Hmm~"
After a long French kiss, the two gradually moved forward, and were about to take a step further when they were interrupted by an untimely knock on the door.
"A Fei, Yuanyuan, are you in there?"
"It's Sister Zeng Li."
Gao Yuanyuan immediately broke away from Lu Fei's arms, replied, then looked in the mirror and applied lipstick on herself.
""Painted Skin 2" is going to..."
As soon as Zeng Li finished speaking, she saw Lu Fei walking out with an awkward yet polite smile on his face. Instead of being annoyed, the corner of his mouth raised an intriguing smile.
"What's wrong, senior?"
Lu Fei cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.
"The lipstick on your mouth is not clean."
Zeng Li took out a tissue and wiped him thoughtfully and quickly.
"Sister Zeng Li, has the movie started?"
After finishing her makeup, Gao Yuanyuan saw the two people at the door, her eyes sparkling, she hooked Lu Fei's arm with one hand and Zeng Li with the other, and the three of them walked neatly towards the auditorium.
The entire theater was pitch black, and the screen was shining.
"You sit over there, I want to sit with Sister Zeng Li."
Gao Yuanyuan sent Lu Fei to live next to Liu Shishi, and inserted herself between him and Zeng Li, chatting by herself.
"Sister Zeng Li, I find that you are becoming more and more beautiful recently."
"No, maybe it's from practicing yoga and body shaping. Whenever I have free time, I go with Sister Hongmei and Hailu. Yuanyuan, do you want to join one too? But I have to be vegetarian occasionally..."
"..."
The two of them "hooked up" together, and it was very exciting.
Lu Fei is like a golden retriever who has fallen out of favor, being left aside, depressed and lonely, and suddenly popcorn appears under his nose.
Master Liu pursed his lips and handed over the Coke.
"Our girl still feels sorry for her brother."
Lu Fei touched her head and joked: "The drinks are right this time, but don't be like last time..."
"No, there was absolutely no mistake this time."
When Liu Shishi thought of drinking his drink by mistake and kissing him indirectly, his cheeks immediately turned red and his heart was pounding.
"I'm kidding, you are really thin-skinned. You are not as teasing as Yang Mi and Tiantian." Lu Fei blinked his right eye.
Master Liu was too shy to look directly at him and buried his head in eating popcorn.
Lu Fei stopped teasing her, took out his mobile phone and entered work mode. Wang Xing's number was displayed on the missed call.
With Wang Huiwen as his assistant and Feigou.com as his backer, Meituan in this world is almost completely different from Meituan in another world.
After the June 19 incident, it became even more famous.
Not only group buying, but also takeaways, food, hotels, air tickets, ticket purchases, all aspects are blooming. Although there are no smartphones and mobile Internet, with the offline coupon printer and the cooperation of Weiluo City, it has gradually spread across the country in recent years. Become popular.
Weiluo City is equipped with a ticketing system adapted to Meituan.
Wherever there is Weiluo City, there must be Meituan.
"Mr. Lu, there are currently 6 million Meituan members nationwide bound to Weiluo City, one-third of them in Shanghai alone. More than 1,000 terminals have spit out 5 million coupons in two quarters..."
Wang Xing reported truthfully: "Weiluo City has discussed with us and plans to cancel the free fee for merchants and replace it with bidding. Each small light box will cost at least 4,000 yuan per month. What do you think?"
"How many merchants are interested in cooperation?"
Lu Fei took a sip of Coke.
Wang Xing smiled and said, "A lot! There are more than 100 people who have signed up, all of which are big brands such as KFC, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut. Because the traditional manual distribution of discount coupons and mailing costs are too high, the usage rate generally does not exceed 2%. But after joining Weiluo City, you only need to purchase an RFID card, log in to Meituan to register and bind, and then you can go to any terminal to print. The input-output ratio is currently between 1:3 and 1:8, which has increased by at least 10 times."
"There will be more this year." Lu Fei said.
"You are right. After the subprime mortgage, more and more merchants have cooperated with Weiluo City in order to reduce costs and stimulate consumption. Regardless of whether they are willing or not, they have been entered into our Meituan system. So far, more than 100 merchants nationwide have There are 3,000 families.”
Wang Xing is not without admiration, please accept my knee.
The integration of software and hardware between Meituan and Weiluo City is the best operation I have ever seen in my career.
"Since terminal charging is Weiluo City's decision, we should not object. However, on Meituan, it is still free."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth rose.
Investing in Weiluo City is a great value for money.
The system is from Meituan, the RFID card is logical, and the Weiluo City coupon terminal is a logical solution, from software to hardware, from upstream to downstream, there are orders and there is profit sharing.
The shares held are also valued at US$275 million!
"No problem at all. Guangwei Internet City's offline account division is enough to cover the online operating costs. The monthly service fee for a chain brand is 100,000 to 200,000, which is five times higher than at the beginning of the year."
While Wang Xing was excited, he also pointed out problems.
First of all, the display locations of terminals like Weiluo City are limited and can only cater to a few big brand chain stores.
Things like fly restaurants and small businesses and hawkers are totally useless.
Secondly, RFID still relies on a physical card and terminal, and cannot completely achieve ubiquity.
"If you can think of this, you are close to touching the true meaning of Meituan. Weiluo City is just a substitute for our transition to the mobile Internet. The real explosion depends on smartphones."
Lu Fei smiled and said: "Meituan will be able to relocate the data at that time. For a project like Weiluo City worth more than one billion US dollars, just let it go. Meituan is a big business worth hundreds of billions of US dollars!"
"Understood, Mr. Lu."
Through the phone, one can hear Wang Xing's excitement at this moment.
After a long while, he revealed that Weiluo City's charges also included Meituan's Maoyan online ticketing system, which charged Meituan a total of 3 yuan in service fees and printing fees for each ticket.
"What do you think?"
Lu Fei picked up a few popcorn and put it in his mouth.
"I'll first try to see if I can negotiate the price and how much I can reduce, but I'll make sure that the cost won't be passed on to users. I want to give up some profits from our online box office split."
Wang Xing asked for instructions in a questioning tone.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with arranging you in Meituan."
Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction.
Although buying tickets online on Maoyan is not cost-effective and very hard-working, Meituan’s layout is not just for petty profits.
When the number of cooperative theaters reaches basically full coverage across the country, the online ticketing market share exceeds 50%, which is equivalent to relatively complete control of online theater distribution channels.
Maoyan can rely on its platform giant advantage to move upstream, first penetrating distribution, and then penetrating into all aspects of the film industry, such as advertising, film scheduling resources, and screening venues...
Coupled with the ticketing systems of Feigou and Penguin, the offline theater resources of the Han and Tang Dynasties, not to mention the monopoly of Huaxia Publicity and theaters, are at least super giants. As long as the movie wants to be released in China——
From now on, I have to worship Master Lu and Miss Gao!
From now on, every movie ticket will have to be surnamed Lu sooner or later!
"Ha~"
Lu Fei took a sip of Coca-Cola, which stimulated his taste buds quite well, but his neck felt a little itchy.
"We have also upgraded Maoyan according to your request. The latest version has similar movie review and rating functions to Douban, but it is only available to paying users for the time being."
Wang Xing said: "Painted Skin 2 is the first attempt."
"Didn't "Red Cliff" cooperate with us?"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.
"No, their announcements are quite rigid. They don't have the 'Internet+' thinking at all. They still follow the traditional announcements." Wang Xing scoffed.
"Just right! It's really hard to handle it if we cooperate."
Lu Fei said happily: "Since the two companies are competing in the arena, let them feel what technology and hard work are."
Liu Shishi watched the movie absentmindedly, always using his peripheral vision to secretly glance at the hot man, and saw him raise a wicked smile.
Why do I like to watch it the worse I laugh?
"Zizzizi~"
Lu Fei drank the coke in one gulp.
The referee, referee, and referee are all my people.
"Red Cliff" right? What are you going to do with me?
…………
""Painted Skin 2" grossed 126 million at the box office in five days after its release!"
"Painted Skin 2 topped the summer box office list, first of all, due to the success of "Painted Skin 1". If "Painted Skin 1", which was a dark horse at the box office, attracted money at a 'wind speed', then 'Painted Skin 2' is definitely ' Speed of light'."
"After "A World Without Thieves", "Painted Skin" and "Iron Man", Zeng Li once again proved in "Painted Skin 2" that she is China's most profitable and box office actress."
"Painted Skin 2 kept up its efforts and grossed 160 million at the box office in its first week. It successively set box office records for Chinese-language films at zero-time screenings, first-day box office records, single-day box office records, and first-week box office records. However, it was suspected to be a hit but not well received. After its release It only has a score of 6.1 on Douban, but its Maoyan score is as high as 8.5..."
"Painted Skin 2 has been maliciously attacked by peers! Gao Yuanyuan, president of Hantang, said: Maoyan allows only ticket-buying audiences to participate in scoring, which is more authoritative and convincing than Douban. Although there is no evidence, I have to suspect that there are a large number of people on Douban. Bad reviews are targeted attempts by competitors to discredit you."
"Who is behind the bad reviews of "Painted Skin 2"? The crew of "Red Cliff" said that we disdain to use such dirty methods."
"The premiere of "Red Cliff" is about to end. Can it end the box office championship of "Painted Skin 2" and break the box office record set?"
""Red Cliff (Part 1)" holds its premiere in Yanjing!"
The storm is coming, China Film Star International Cinema.
Not only all the participating stars were present, but the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles came out to support Wu Yusen.
Since the "Photogate" incident, morale in the Hong Kong community has been low.
Wu Yusen is their last fig leaf and the hope for re-emergence. As long as "Red Cliff" becomes popular, the fragmented Hong Kong circle will slowly gather around the team with Wu Yusen as the core.
On the red carpet, the stars were shining brightly.
Representatives from film and television companies such as Huayi, Bona, Hairun, China Film, and Galloping Horse arrived one after another, and the Han and Tang Dynasties also sent Zhong Lifang.
"snort!"
Wu Yusen was furious when he saw Feng Pengtong, Chen Kaige, Chen Kexin, Chen Guofu and others gathered around Zhong Lifeng.
"Forget it, Director Feng and Director Chen. What do Chen Kexin and the others mean? And Fatty Wang. It's such a big pomp. They don't even come to the premiere to show their support. Are you planning to fight me in the crocodile ring?"
"They are all just outsiders. Whichever side is stronger will naturally lean towards that side. Even Emperor Ying didn't let Nicholas Tse follow the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Wu Kebo, as the CEO of Chengtian, the producer, and as the first person to gain access to Hong Kong capital, has a look of worry on his face.
"Director Wu, "Painted Skin 2" is coming in a big way this time..."
"I'm not worried at all. On the contrary, I'm even more relieved. Even this pseudo-magic special effects blockbuster about a love triangle can earn 100 to 200 million. The box office of "Red Cliff" is no problem at all!"
Wu Yusen vowed to do so.
"Director Wu, I'm counting on you."
Wu Kebo rubbed his hands nervously.
"Don't worry, I may not be able to guarantee success in Hollywood, but in Chinese films, I won't lose to others."
Wu Yusen is full of confidence.
Just with the total cost of 640 million, just with the reputation and reputation he has accumulated, just with the magnificent lineup gathered from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, just with the massive announcement, no matter what, the advantage is mine!
Even if there is Mr. Lu in "Painted Skin 2", so what!
On the first day of release, the momentum was overwhelming.
The box office on the first day reached more than 27 million, a figure that broke the record of "Painted Skin 2" which had only been maintained for a week.
Just as they were about to pursue their victory the next day, they were hit by a tidal wave of attacks. The first wave of attacks came from video sites like Penguin, Tudou and other video sites that complained about UP.
Tucao videos are overwhelming, and the number of views is rising.
Even Hu Ge, who is famous for "Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun", came out again and once again made a new comeback, spoofing "Red Cliff (Part 1)", which was even worse than "The Promise".
The second wave of offensive will come immediately.
Douban doesn’t just give one star out of mind, and it doesn’t give low scores out of mind. After all, it’s unfair to show the facts.
On only the third day, Douban has already dropped below 7 points.
The Maoyan score dropped again and again, down to 6.6 points.
There were a lot of negative comments in the comment area.
"Although the label 'King of Thunder Movies in the History of Chinese Films' is a bit too big, it can only be said that this international director is different. He has easily revised everyone's acceptance of thunder. It’s wonderful to be connected to the world!”
"A bloody battle triggered by a 'cute' Xiao Qiao."
"Red Cliff is like a mountain with broken arms."
"I can not only tolerate the love between Zeng Li and Zhou Xun in "Painted Skin 2" but also love to watch it. The love between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in "Red Cliff". How many times did the director have to watch "Three Kingdoms" before he has this brain circuit? If you don’t know how to take pictures, don’t take pictures! There’s no need to distort history like this!”
"When I saw the score of Maoyan, I felt it was unauthoritative and unreal. How can this crappy movie get a score of 6?"
"..."
It overflows from Douban and Maoyan, Tieba, Weibo, and forums, and is full of praise and praise everywhere.
We want to nail "Red Cliff" to the pillar of shame of bad movies.
The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day...
The week's box office results are out.
"Red Cliff (Part 1)" unexpectedly experienced a huge decline. It only had 156 million in its first week, which was not as good as the performance of "Painted Skin 2". However, "Painted Skin 2" has exceeded the 250 million mark in two weeks and is rushing towards the goal of 300 million. Rush.
"Impossible! How is it possible!"
As soon as Wu Yusen's road show ended, he received the bad news from Wu Kebo and fell down on the sofa in the lounge.
"There are too many negative comments about us online."
Wu Kebo sighed, "This was definitely done by the Han and Tang Dynasties! Only Lu Fei had the energy to do this!"
"Is it him? Is it really him?"
Wu Yusen also expected that it was Lu Fei's hand, but he never expected that he could cover the sky with one hand to this extent. I am afraid that only Shao Yifu, who was at the peak of the Shaw Brothers, could compare.
Or, the Jewish capital of Hollywood...
The more I thought about it, the more frightened and uneasy I became, and my face turned pale.
"Director Wu!!"
Lin Zhiling, Liang Chaowei and others rushed forward.
"Director Wu, are you okay, Director Wu?"
"Send Director Wu to the hospital quickly, Director Wu fainted!"
"..."
Listening to the chaotic sounds on the phone, Wu Kebo also became confused. In a panic, he decisively chose to surrender.
Obediently contact Wang Xing, hoping to pay the protection fee and settle the matter.
"Mr. Wu, we have always been pursuing the establishment of a fair, open, and professional film evaluation system. Maoyan's ratings are comprehensive evaluations given by mainstream film and television media, senior film critics, and film and television professional scholars. They are not something that other websites can give you money for. "
Wang Xingzheng said solemnly: "Don't call me again in the future, I'm afraid Mr. Lu will misunderstand."
"Dududu~"
There was a busy tone on the phone.
Wu Kebo's face was dull and the corners of his mouth were twitching.
No wonder everyone scolds the land thieves! Traitor! Evil thief!
It's really shameless!
Shinobu became more and more angry as he thought about it, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "The dog jumps over the wall when he is anxious, you are the one who forced me."
Thank you to the God of Death for inviting me 100 starting coins tonight.
