The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 247 The Echoes of the World (4K)

"Wang Wei boldly said at the press conference of the new film that he is not afraid of the joint suppression of the five major forces!"

"Dunhuang declares war on the five great powers? No, Wang Wei dares to think more than this. He has 'declared war' on the whole world!"

"Following the challenge to the media, Wang Wei finally went 'crazy', and this time he chose to challenge filmmakers all over the world..."

The next day, almost all magazines, newspapers and websites, no matter if they were serious and professional media or vulgar gossip tabloids, had their headlines dominated by Wang Wei's rhetoric.

Although everyone expected that the guy's public interview would not be too peaceful, many people were still stunned when they saw the headline.

Dare to say it!

But after reading the following content, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

At least, with his current strength and influence, his remarks can only be said to be controversial, but not many people will say that he is completely exaggerating.

At the same time, the topic of "presenting a gift to the centenary of the birth of film" has also become the new favorite of various media.

——As soon as the new film conference ended, many reporters sorted out the relevant information, and were surprised to find that since the first half of this year, various directors have either begun to prepare new films, or are planning to release new films. It's time to retire" director, all of a sudden, the film world is in a state of prosperity.

Many reporters are very interested in using this question to interview directors who have not announced their new film plans, and they are also gearing up during the interview, expressing that they will participate.

All kinds of news and responses from all parties have sprung up like mushrooms after the spring rain, growing wildly at the end of this summer vacation.

Movie fans are even more exciting-not to mention they are all rubbish audiences, if there are a considerable number of excellent movies every year, they will spare no effort to buy tickets to support even if they eat a few meals less;

On the Internet, after this topic was detonated by Wang Wei, some netizens actively listed the movies that will be released next year, and then they were keen to discuss which movies are fleeting meteors and which movies are real stars. Long-lasting fiery glow!

The voice of the current Chinese-language media is much louder than that of another time and space, so Wang Wei's "Declaration" has caused considerable repercussions all over the world.

The western media, in particular, seem to portray Dunhuang, who was suppressed by the five major Chinese entertainment circles, as a "rebel", and Wang Wei, a young director with "more independent consciousness and rebellious spirit", as a "revolutionary". old look";
At least at this point in time, the western media praised Wang Wei's "gauntlet"——

"The art of film has emerged batch after batch of innovative adventurers, promoting its repeated innovation;
It is precisely because of the courage and creativity of the "Wang Weimen" that instead of becoming a rapidly fading epiphyllum as predicted, the film has blossomed into an ever-blooming rose in the history of art and even the history of civilization.

As Wang Wei said, who can predict what the next hundred years of film will look like?Standing at the threshold of this era of change, after all, it is necessary to rely on a big melee to point out the direction for the future, choose leaders, and lead the era of change..."

Of course, in the end, most of the Western media all turned on each other—the art of film was invented by Westerners. In the melee at the turn of the century, if Hollywood (or Western) filmmakers lost to Eastern filmmakers , that would be a great shame in the history of Western civilization!

——In this way, filmmakers all over the world are really involved.

Well, the filmmakers of the third world were brought along. After all, even their domestic media focused on the leading filmmakers in the Chinese entertainment industry and Hollywood.

Now that the public opinion has fermented so far, it is difficult for the top five in the China entertainment industry to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Because, in the eyes of various media that are not affiliated with the Big Five, the source of the world's film industry is the contemptible "five-on-one" provoked by the Big Five!
Naturally, this statement was regarded as "nonsense" by the Big Five.

For example, Gao Zhongwei, director of film production of Pearl Pictures, publicly countered Wang Wei on Pearl TV——

"...It is completely normal commercial competition between us and Dunhuang. I can understand Wang Wei's pressure, but this is not his reason for sensationalism. Of course, this may be his insurance for his new film, and he has indeed received a good reward. Propaganda effect."

"His eyes are all over the world? Hehe, Wang Wei may be a genius, but he is still a little too young. His eyes are always looking at the future, so it is easy to ignore the ups and downs under his feet..."

"But it doesn't matter. After he falls, we at Pearl Pictures are willing to help him. I'm still looking forward to becoming a colleague with him..."

……

In the general manager's office in Dunhuang, Wang Chuanqi pressed the pause button to stop Gao Zhongwei, who was talking on the TV, and looked back at Wang Wei who seemed to be in a daze. He sighed,
"Turning pretending to be wronged into challenging the whole world, how did you do it?"

Yes, the original purpose of the press conference was to let Wang Wei, as a victim, announce the start of a new film.

Think about it, Dunhuang and the Big Five, one is a rising star with a good reputation in China, and the other is a much-maligned monopoly overlord, if there is any conflict between the two, it will never be Dunhuang's fault.

As mentioned earlier, on the premise of no conflict of interest, human nature always supports the weaker side.

But, there is another point - the public is always forgetful.

This gives five major countermeasures - although they cannot control all the media and cover up the fact that they jointly suppressed Dunhuang, they can divert attention by downplaying public opinion or reporting other breaking news, making big things small.

Therefore, from time to time, Dunhuang needs to drive the awareness of "Dunhuang is a victim" into the public's bones. This not only depends on subtle propaganda on the Internet, but also spreads offline.

The originally determined strategy was for Wang Wei to act in front of the reporters, "Baby is wronged, but baby doesn't say..."

——Any young man with a dream and persistence is always worthy of praise; seeing how his head was broken for his ideal, who wouldn't give him more sympathy points?
However, it turns out that fortunately this guy didn't choose to be an actor - let him pretend to be green tea, and he acted like raising a banner and rushing to the forefront!

That's it!

"Aren't you looking for trouble for yourself?" Old Wang now only has a headache, and Dunhuang has been watched under a magnifying glass ever since.

Among other things, I am afraid that all filmmakers want to touch and compare the films that will be released in Dunhuang next year.

"I'm only 23 years old this year." Wang Wei just replied in a wrong way.

"What's the matter..." Lao Wang had finished speaking halfway, but suddenly remembered something and suddenly stopped talking.

As the helm of Dunhuang, Wang Wei has never emphasized his age, this is the first time.

Since this guy usually looks far more mature than a boy in his early twenties, Lao Wang didn't care when he just emphasized, but halfway through the conversation, Lao Wang suddenly realized what it meant to be a 23-year-old Dunhuang helmsman.

The so-called shadow of a famous tree, 23-year-old Wang Wei, while gaining attention, also means gaining incredible power.

Among all industries, the media industry, including the entertainment industry, is one of the industries with low output. Why does it have such a huge influence?That's why.

When people are watching him, he seems to be their master, able to drive their emotions, influence their thinking, and even more extreme, have an impact on their lives;

——Every person who has been influenced by a movie all his life has a successful filmmaker behind him. This is a fascinating phenomenon.

Of course, this phenomenon exists in all cultural products, but it has to be admitted that compared with TV dramas, TV, news, and music, movies have a stronger ability to break through the barriers of time and space.

In other words, the 23-year-old director Wang Wei is a natural banner figure; at least, in their generation, Wang Wei is a banner.

Not everyone can raise the banner.

If the flag is upright and stable, it will naturally be the cloud and the scene;
But if the flag is folded, the person who erected the flag will be the first to be crushed to death.

It is no exaggeration to say that on the battlefield, the most dangerous people are always the ones who carry the banner and those who rush to the forefront, and the most dangerous are those who carry the banner and rush to the forefront!

It was because of the high risk that no one dared to raise the flag lightly. After waiting, it was Wang Wei who waited.

Wang Wei is indeed not afraid of raising the flag.

At his age, even if he relied on suffering, he would be able to kill all those who can suppress him now.

Of course, everyone has a young age, but not everyone can own two influential companies such as Dunhuang and Weibo Technology when they are young.

Backed by these two companies, Wang Wei's influence spans several fields such as Internet communications, media, and entertainment, and now he is flirting with Pengcheng Venture Capital, and is expected to set foot in the financial field;
And in the two global superpowers, China and the United States, this guy's influence is active——

Needless to say in China, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, just give one example-"Prison Break" became popular!
Lion King Films, a subsidiary acquired by Dunhuang, produced the pilot episode of "Prison Break", and first promoted it to Universal Pictures, which had a previous cooperative relationship, and the people of Universal Pictures' NBC TV station only watched the first two episodes, and they were immediately attracted. Living.

——Under Wang Wei's emphasis, the first two episodes were filmed at a very fast pace, and a large number of plots were explained in a simple and clear way, interlocking with each other, with ups and downs.

In short, "Prison Break" was successfully purchased by NBC and was scheduled to be broadcast in the off-season in early August-in the United States, with the end of the TV season in late May, the American people's consumption attention has turned to the hot summer movies, TV It has entered a relatively sluggish off-season.

As a newly launched series, the two episodes of "Prison Break" created an average rating of 689 million and a maximum of 1080 million.

And in the second week, after the third episode was broadcast, according to Nielsen's ratings statistics, it attracted a maximum of 1400 million viewers. This increase in the number of viewers is quite obvious!

From the growth curve, we can already clearly see the ratings potential of "Prison Break"——

Sure enough, by the end of August, the series had attracted an average of nearly 900 million viewers per episode, a figure that had already set a record for the highest ratings for a first-run episode in the five-year off-season of American TV.

The NBC people are naturally happy to "pick up" a hit series, and the old Wang behind the Lion King Films is always very excited when he thinks of it.
"The average viewership rating has already broken through the 1000 million mark last week--for such a series that is still in the first season, this number is quite exaggerated. Are you really sure you don't want to add some more stories later?"

"...Haven't you already read the general script outline?"

Wang Wei was very helpless for his "seeing money".
"I agreed to only shoot the first two seasons, and there is no room for more content to be added later. If I try to force myself to write, it will only be a continuation!"

"Anyway, NBC has already renewed our subscription for the second season. I hope to build up the reputation of Lion King Studios in the field of TV dramas first. As for more profitable dramas, that will be a matter of later."

Although according to the current ratings, when it is almost over, NBC will probably spend money to let Lion King Pictures continue to shoot.

But even the money earned now satisfies Dunhuang - "Prison Break" is a low-budget TV series after all, and the funds purchased by NBC are already able to make a small profit for Lion King Pictures.

Moreover, with the excellent performance of the first broadcast of the series, it can also make a lot of profit in the subsequent rebroadcast sales; there are also "Prison Break"-themed ring tones and T-shirts and other peripheral sales, which are said to sell well...

As an American drama testing the waters, Wang Wei is quite satisfied with such a performance anyway.

"Well, you have a story, you have the final say."

In the end, Pharaoh was persuaded.

Because the success of this American TV series proves that it is not accidental that Wang Wei can conquer audiences all over the world, well, at least audiences on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

In addition, there is also the upcoming film "Chain Saw", which has already completed production. According to the relevant evaluation of Lion King Films, this film has the potential of a small explosion.

——In short, if such a Wang Wei raises a banner, will he have no deterrent effect?

"Forget it, if you set up a big flag, you can set up a big flag. Anyway, what has been said has been said, and there is no way to take it back."

Lao Wang spread his hands and smiled wryly.

As everyone knows, Wang Wei, who seems to be indifferent on the surface, also wants to smile bitterly.

Who says it's not, it's really a moment of joy.

He glanced at the system, and there were two freshly released tasks hanging on it——

[Long-term mission: subversive posture.

Task content: Break the traditional ruling order of the Chinese entertainment industry and help Dunhuang join the ruling group.

Task reward: upgrade a primary aura at will. 】

In addition to this -

[Temporary task: The strongest voice of the era.

Task content: Two years before and after the centenary of the film (94-95), shoot a feature film that conquers audiences all over the world.

mission rewards:

1. Get the top three in the global box office of the year or win at least one of the highest honors in the world film industry, and get the photography aura (junior).

2. At the same time, get the top three in the global box office and at least one of the highest honors in the world film industry at the same time, and upgrade a junior aura at will. 】

At the press conference, after Wang Wei communicated the declaration, the system popped up two tasks one after another, which surprised him at the time.

This is the first time that two missions came at the same time, so, is this the consequence of a high-pitched mouth?
