The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 241 Showing people as a "weak" women's army?

"God! Has the conflict between Dunhuang and the Big Five escalated to this level?"

In the crew of "Fury Road", after a day of filming, the director Lu Le deliberately approached the lead actor and producer Shen Zhenyi, not to talk about the movie, but to ask about the recent "Dunhuang Battle Five" incident that has been raging on the Internet.

After all, Lu Le returned from Australia, and her contacts in the Chinese entertainment industry are very shallow. Many things that people in the entertainment industry have long known are like a veil for her.

For example, she knew that the relationship between Dunhuang and the Big Five was not good—nonsense, they are both competitors, so how good is the relationship?
But she really didn't know that the two sides were no longer just a competitive relationship, but had escalated to a "bloody" conflict.

Until the suppression incident was made public by film critics, and then fermented on the Internet——

Now that the ins and outs of the incident have been clarified on the Internet, we have started to discuss the probability of Dunhuang defeating the strong with the weak, and the result of the discussion... can't be said to be almost zero, but can only be said to be negligible.

Maybe Dunhuang accounted for more than 15% of the box office last year, and maybe it can still occupy more than 10% of the box office this year, but in front of the Big Five, it is still just a child with no self-defense ability, and it can hardly be a blow to these giants. Punch!
Only by making a detailed comparison can one know how weak an independent film company is in front of the Big Five—the reason why the Big Five are called the "Big Five" is that each of them is a huge group, or at least part of a consortium.

One-on-one duels are difficult, let alone one-on-five...

Therefore, even the most optimistic view on the Internet is how long Dunhuang can last before it can "decently" become a part of the Big Five.

Lu Le obviously hasn't recovered from the shock of knowing the whole picture of the incident, but she feels fear in the face of the future of confronting the five majors-she really has no confidence in this kind of duel with great disparity between strength and weakness.

"I don't want to lie to you, Sister Le, the future we are facing may be even worse than you imagined!" Shen Zhenyi frowned and said in a calm tone.

"Can't we dispel the hostility of the Big Five? Even if they share a big piece of meat, it's better than an all-out confrontation like this!" Lu Le still took chances.

Shen Zhenyi shook her head, her tone became more serious: "Impossible, in the eyes of the five great eyes, Dunhuang is the biggest piece of fat they see, and they just want to swallow it in one gulp."

"Oh, fuck the giant!" Lu Le cursed in a low voice, his tone was startled and angry, "Then what about our movie? Is it impossible to avoid this conflict?"

"I can't lie to you, Sister Le. With Dunhuang's small body to carry the five big fists, it is absolutely impossible to sacrifice less, or not sacrifice at all." Shen Zhenyi did not hide her pessimism at all.

Lu Le's eyes widened, "You mean, we will become victims?"

It’s not impossible to think about it——Compared to other “biological children” fully invested by Dunhuang, “Fury Road” is only the “adopted son” of a joint venture. If it is unable to do what it wants, the latter must be the first to be abandoned.

"That's not what it means. It's just that you didn't read it online? After the truth of the suppression is revealed, the Big Five will be even more unscrupulous. Every film released in Dunhuang will face even worse situations in the future!" Shen Zhenyi Of course.

Lu Le's heart sank again and again.

Even the previous situation was quite bad for "Fury Road" - whether it was she or Wang Wei, in the previous exchanges, they believed that the punk and cult style of this movie should be truly mature in China No matter what, you have to make several movies to educate the audience; but the media channels are all choked by people, and you have to educate the hell! ?
If the situation gets worse, wouldn't it be announced that she can find a new job?

——For a "newcomer" director in the Chinese entertainment circle like Lu Le, if she messes up a "blockbuster" movie whose production cost plus publicity cost will not be less than [-] million yuan, her path in the Chinese entertainment circle will be ruined. It was completely broken.

At that time, if she still wants to become a director, she will either go to Hollywood to try her luck, or go back to the "little fish pond" in Australia to entertain herself...

Feeling this kind of pressure, she naturally became more and more anxious about the future of "Fury Road"; she originally wanted to gain some confidence from Shen Zhenyi, but she didn't expect it to be a bigger blow.

until—

"Director, don't listen to her, the movie and Dunhuang's situation are far from as bad as you think!"

On the side, Wang Xiaojing, Shen Zhenyi's assistant, couldn't stand it anymore, and rolled her eyes directly.

Lu Le looked up in surprise.

Shen Zhenyi finally couldn't help snorting, "Okay, Sister Le, I really can't lie to you—I lied to you just now."

——In the past, I always saw that guy Wang Wei talking nonsense in a serious manner, and even deceived others.Now I understand that this feeling is so interesting!
The girl who was close to Mozhehei thought wickedly, and it showed on her face, making Lu Le and the little assistant have black hair.

"So, the rumors on the Internet..."

After all, Lu Le is not a rookie director. When he came back to his senses, he quickly figured out something.

"The incidents on the Internet are all true, and the sympathy for Dunhuang is also true. People always tend to sympathize with the weak. If you make good use of this psychological effect, strength is actually relative."

Shen Zhenyi smiled mysteriously.

Lu Le squinted his eyes, and nodded thoughtfully for a while.

Instead, the little assistant muttered, "This feels like taking advantage of people's kindness..."

Shen Zhenyi heard it, her smile was slightly restrained, and she said seriously: "If we are always in the position of a weak person, do not seek to make progress, and only rely on showing weakness to others to win sympathy, then it is indeed not a kind use;"

"But if it is to make unremitting efforts to strengthen ourselves and strengthen ourselves, isn't this an encouragement to those of us who sympathize with us who are temporarily weak?"

The little assistant was thoughtful, and Lu Le couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"However, let's not worry about it. Anyway, the only thing that guy Wang Wei asks of us is to make this movie well!"

Shen Zhenyi finally waved her hands in a sassy way.

"What kind of film is good? According to the schedule of this film, in addition to making money, is it possible that you also want to win the Tianma Award?"

Director Lu Le, who seemed to have regained most of his confidence, said half-jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhenyi nodded,

"If the filming standard is sufficient, this film may be the one that is most likely to hit the Tianma Awards among the films produced by Dunhuang this year - after all, not to mention the wild and unrestrained expressiveness of the film, the judges They are also human, and they will sympathize with the weak..."

"Hearing what you said, it's really possible."

Director Lu Le also became excited.

She finally fully realized the power of "showing others weakness".

and many more……

Lu Le suddenly noticed that Dunhuang's follow-up films this year were all directed by the same director..."Women's Legion"! ?

Could this be part of the Dunhuang plan?

This thought flashed through his mind quickly, and Lu Le swallowed silently——Mommy, she should just make movies honestly, the layout is too scary!
