The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 289 Lao Wang Xiao Wang's Annual Chicken Soup (4K)

The fact that Dunhuang has proudly ranked among the top three in the annual box office share rankings in the past year is like a big stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

The "ripples" that resonate with different people are naturally different.

Women in the industry, like manager Yu Li, may be delighted by the fact that female practitioners have gained more recognition; while people like the Big Five may have extremely unpleasant physiological reactions due to the frustration of the siege...

What is Dunhuang in the center of Ripples doing?

——Preparing for a celebration banquet!
Well, Dunhuang has never liked to hold celebration banquets.

Because many celebration banquets in the industry are not just for "celebration", but also for cooperation and relationship building. Since "Peking Holiday", Dunhuang eats alone most of the time, so naturally there is no need to talk about cooperation and relationship.

Therefore, over the years, even though the films produced by Dunhuang have been selling well, it is only a small internal celebration, talking and laughing, and it is considered a celebration.

Even this time the celebration banquet, Wang Wei originally refused to hold it.

The reason is very simple. He really doesn't think it's time for Dunhuang to celebrate. After all, Dunhuang is still at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with the top five - besides, it's not like he won the first place in the box office market share.

But Lao Wang insisted on doing it, and he justified——

"Although judging from the results, last year's results were better than our most optimistic expectations, but we were under the siege of the top five throughout the year, and the mental state of most employees was very tense;"

"In addition, during this period of time, you have been working so hard, and everyone has not dared to relax at all. It is time to give everyone a smooth ride and boost morale."

Well, Wang Wei admits that what Lao Wang said makes sense—he himself can cheat, but other Dunhuang people can’t cheat, and they don’t know that the boss is cheating... the spirit is getting more and more tense!
So, let’s do it.

It is only a celebration banquet and annual summary meeting, and at the same time, it can also allow Dunhuang people who are usually busy with their own affairs to gather together and exchange feelings.

After Wang Wei let go, Lao Wang immediately booked a large villa, er, or a manor, and held the most grandiose celebration banquet in Dunhuang in recent years.

Well, it was called "with great fanfare", but it was not open to the media. Of course, the industry paid great attention to such a celebration banquet, and many people even tried their best to get a chance to participate.

Just look at the guests at the celebration banquet to know why——

Needless to say, the Dunhuang people were all present, from top executives to grassroots backbones;
Dunhuang directors such as Zhuang Geng, Jin Zaiku, Gu Xiji, He Wenying, Liang Guanyi, as well as directors who had a good cooperation with Dunhuang, such as director Lu Le and director Tang Yigong, also attended;
Actors who have participated in Dunhuang film and television works, or are currently participating, such as Zhou Qiming, Ouyang Ke, Fang Tao, etc., are also invited to come;

In addition, Jiang Lei and Wang Guangqian from Weibo Technology, agent Yu Li, Lin Yongqiang from Sky Cinemas and other representatives of Dunhuang's partners were present one after another...

Many of them were old friends, at least they knew each other. There was an endless stream of greetings, and there was a lot of chaotic buzzing at the celebration banquet.

It wasn't until Wang Chuanqi stepped onto the host stage and stood in front of the microphone that the buzzing gradually died down.

Wang Chuanqi smiled brightly, "Seeing everyone gathered here, I am so happy that I am bubbling -- this proves that Dunhuang is growing stronger and stronger."

"To this day, I still remember the scene when Wang Wei officially entered Dunhuang. At that time, Dunhuang had been unlucky for three consecutive years. Not to mention gods and ghosts, at least everyone was afraid to avoid it;"

Wang Chuanqi paused for a moment, and his tone became relaxed.
"For Dunhuang at the time, Wang Wei even had to play the lead actor in his debut because he couldn't attract anyone; fortunately, with his handsome face, he didn't mess up the movie anyway; and everyone knows Well, this year he's going to be the leading actor again, hopefully this time it won't screw up the movie."

As soon as Wang Chuanqi finished speaking, there was a lot of laughter at the scene.

Everyone at the scene knew this story, and many of them even experienced it first-hand. Looking back now, it was the starting point of a legend!
And Wang Wei's self-directed and self-acted again, like reincarnation, is it the beginning of another legend?

——This thought flashed through many people's minds.

However, Wang Chuanqi's words soon attracted all his attention——

"...In the past year, the works launched by us in Dunhuang, whether it is one-to-one or one-to-many, without exception, there is only one result, all wins!"

As soon as these words came out, there were loud cheers, applause, and whistles from the audience.

Wang Chuanqi smiled, and waited until the movement below gradually became quieter, before he spoke again: "To be honest, my first reaction when I knew that Dunhuang was being targeted by the five great forces was actually—so we Dunhuang are so strong! "

The laughter in the audience grew louder again.

"Don't laugh, it's true. After all, if we were still weak chickens a few years ago, the five giants in the cloud might not even be able to see the existence of Dunhuang, let alone target them."

"Of course, our Dunhuang has really become stronger, so the five major targets will not succeed."

"In the past year, they blocked media channels. Sorry, we made efforts on Internet channels; they sniped our videos with the same type of videos. Sorry, we all had the last laugh..."

"It's the result of all the people of Dunhuang working together to let the high-ranking giants suffer in front of us. Do you think it's good?"

Wang Chuanqi's tone was very sincere and slightly sensational.

"Cool!"

The audience echoed!
The atmosphere at the scene tends to be hot.

Not to mention the Dunhuang people who participated in person, even the bystanders, feel really fucking cool!
——In the case of being seriously underestimated, under the extremely disadvantaged conditions, the anti-killing of the industry giants was abruptly completed.

Well, if you only look at the box office share of movies, it may be an exaggeration to say "anti-killing"; but if you look at China Media, which has just changed its management, it is almost certain to withdraw from the ranks of suppressing Dunhuang, saying "complete anti-killing" Not too much.

The weak beat the strong, this kind of plot is the most satisfying, not to mention that all the stakeholders present are Dunhuang stakeholders.

"...In the past 93 years, Dunhuang's box office revenue alone exceeded 20 billion yuan, and its annual revenue exceeded 50 billion yuan, a record high..."

When Wang Chuanqi disclosed Dunhuang's operating income in an "inhumane" way, the audience fell silent, and then there was an uproar.

Although after the media took stock of Dunhuang's box office share, many people have already estimated Dunhuang's high income.

But to actually know the specific numbers, well, it’s not too specific, but it’s still amazing!
——Wang Chuanqi did not disclose the specific profit, but it is actually conceivable.

For example, the Big Five all rely on high-cost head-to-head productions to achieve high returns; but Dunhuang has a small cost, but it has achieved comparable box office revenue. In terms of profits, it is simply high returns!

Probably because the box office revenue is too high, Dunhuang’s derivatives revenue is not like the Big Five, which is two to three times the box office revenue, but the actual revenue is also very impressive!

And the high profit margin of derivatives is known to everyone.

Therefore, anyone who is interested will know that Dunhuang's net profit last year probably easily exceeded one billion.

Sufficient funds are undoubtedly the biggest support for the rapid development of Dunhuang!
Directors and actors are not afraid that Dunhuang's project will die due to insufficient budget; partners are not afraid that Dunhuang will fall into a vicious circle due to insufficient hematopoietic ability.

In fact, even in the harsh environment last year, Dunhuang was able to make a lot of money; and under the guidance of Wang Wei, who has a vision of bugs, with the expansion of distribution channels and the opening of new media channels, Dunhuang's cash flow will only increase. more and more broad.

Wang Chuanqi's next words confirmed their conjecture——

"This year, we in Dunhuang will produce more film and television works, and we will have the opportunity to make our competitors suffer more."

"Of course, Wang Wei is better at this point, so let him tell you a few words."

Immediately, whistles and cheers sounded again from the audience.

If it is said that Wang Chuanqi has gained a lot of prestige in Dunhuang because of his direct management, which makes everyone somewhat reluctant to let go; but for Wang Wei, the real boss of the company, there is basically no too much pressure.

Especially at such a relaxed celebration banquet, everyone is looking forward to the boss's "fire".

Wang Weishi walked up to the host stage and said with a smile: "Comrade Wang told you a lot about the past and present of Dunhuang. You should pay more attention to the future of Dunhuang. Then I will talk to you about the future of Dunhuang. .”

"So, what kind of future will Dunhuang have or should it have?"

"In the daily chat, the company's executives once joked that Dunhuang's goal is to replace one of the top five, and he can replace it. This operation is familiar to all Chinese people!"

There was laughter from the audience.

"However, I want to say that the top five is not the goal of Dunhuang. Dunhuang's future goal should be above the top five!"

This time, everyone at the scene was stunned.

What is the presence of the Big Five in China?
They have divided up the domestic media channels and controlled more than 60% of the market share in the China entertainment industry all the year round. A rising star like Dunhuang has not collapsed under their suppression, and it has already been regarded as a "big victory"...

Now Wang Wei said, isn’t Wu Da a dish from Dunhuang?

It's like saying, you guys at the Big Five are so self-indulgent, why are you still engaging in joint suppression?Dunhuang has never seen you, let alone replace you.

If Wang Wei hadn't said this sentence, everyone present would have laughed out loud.

But no one laughs now because—

"Some people may say that this is not a fantasy? But I think, whether it is the founder of the top five in the China entertainment industry or the founder of the top five in Hollywood, the achievements I have made at my age are destined to be no more brilliant than Dunhuang."

At this time, Wang Wei's back was straight, his whole body was like a sharp knife out of its sheath, and from the perspective of the audience, a sharp temperament rushed towards his face as if it were real.

"In that case, why don't I dare to imagine that the future of Dunhuang is far from being comparable to the top five?"

Yes, why not?

This guy is only in his early 20s, and many people complained again in their hearts.

Being young may not be considered a great capital;
But young and outstanding vision, that is a great capital;

If a young man has great foresight and really strong capital, what kind of future is his imagination, not fantasy?

Wang Wei didn't continue to dig into what kind of future that is, he paused, then smiled and said,

"Of course, the future is too far away. I guess many people are complaining about it. You are still in dire straits of being besieged and suppressed, and you are far beyond the top five? What are you dreaming of!?"

"So I won't let you dream about it, let's talk about the future in a more realistic way—follow me, even if I eat meat, you drink soup, and you can drink until you are full!"

"Dunhuang's dividend plan has been fully implemented last year. I believe that the wallets of many of you are getting bigger and bigger. Not much else to say, Dunhuang will release at least eight movies this year. I hope everyone's wallets are bigger than last year!"

Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, and then the scene erupted in joy—laughter, booing, applause, and whistles all became one in an instant!
Sure enough, there is nothing more popular than talking about money!

Wang Wei is right. After the implementation of the new salary system, many people in Dunhuang have obtained the right to share dividends at the box office.

With the high box office of each Dunhuang movie, even a 0.01% dividend share is a huge sum of money!
——Dunhuang's generosity in distributing money to employees was praised and even envied by the entire industry.

More and more people are willing to follow Wang Wei and Dunhuang. Although they recognize Dunhuang's style and values, in the final analysis, they still want to make their wallets bigger by following Dunhuang.

Although Wang Wei's last words were very vulgar, the effect was better than the freshest chicken blood. Thinking of the chicken soup described by Wang Wei, the morale on the scene was visibly high.

Wang Wei, who knows how to accept as soon as he sees it, announced the official start of the celebration banquet amidst the applause rolling like a wave. Everyone has a good meal, drinks and fun tonight.

It's just that, after the celebration banquet, full of confidence, Comrade Wang and Comrade Xiao Wang, who were better at pouring chicken soup, all their smiles disappeared, and they said in unison——

"The big five's reaction is a bit wrong!"

"China Media is okay, but something is really wrong with the other four."

This is an abnormal situation that the two of them noticed before the celebration banquet.

——Recently, the media are madly reporting Dunhuang's "victory" in the Five Great Encirclement and Siege, while the other four are lower-key than the other, as if admitting defeat.

But both Wang Wei and Lao Wang knew that this was impossible.

However, in the film schedule announced this year, the Big Five seem to have completely abandoned last year's tit-for-tat confrontation at the expense of both sides, and arranged as they normally would, and even deliberately staggered the schedule of Dunhuang.

This made everyone in Dunhuang a little confused.

Therefore, at the celebration banquet this time, the two of them "looked down" on the top five one by one. Although there was a factor of filling chicken soup, they also had the intention of testing the top five.

——I'm so proud and arrogant, if you have any tricks, use them quickly!
