Entertainment from Divorce

United States.

A division of Lino Global Group.

This division is specifically responsible for the entertainment module.

After the shooting of Pan Ji Xing 2 was completed, it was sent here for editing.

Kelvin Butz never returned to France.

At this time, Kelvin Butz followed a man to the top level of the company.

He was originally in the office checking the situation of "Pan Jixing 2" when the president's secretary came over and asked him to go to the office.

Kelvin Booth also guessed something in his heart.

The company attaches great importance to the movie "Pan Jixing 2", but now its box office performance ranks second on the list.

Although it is very good, it is not enough.

The secretary opened the door and Kelvin Booth walked in.

"President."

"Sit down first."

Kelvin Booth sat in a chair and looked at the person sitting opposite him.

This person is Joe Kenneth, president of the Lin Ao Global Group division.

He has a head full of white hair and looks a little thin, but he is very energetic.

Joe Kenneth slowly put down the pen in his hand, then handed the document to the secretary, turned his head to look at Kelvin Butz, and said, "Director Kelvin, tell me about the promotion of "Pan Jixing 2" and its current situation. Be sure to give me details."

"The publicity is carried out in accordance with the publicity plan formulated by our company before." In the following time, Kevin Butz answered the questions raised by the president in detail.

From filming to promotion, the company has provided sufficient funds.

But now, other movies are ranked first in the box office rankings, so naturally we need to figure out the situation.

Joe Kenneth wrote something in his notebook from time to time.

"These are all the details of "Panjixing 2." Kelvin Butz frowned after he finished speaking.

The report just now was equivalent to a review of all the publicity plans, and it sounded like there were still no problems.

But still lost.

Kelvin Booth also felt helpless.

Joe Kenneth thought for a moment and said, "Many people outside think that Pan Jixing 2 has no chance of overtaking. What do you think?"

"That's what I think, too." Kelvin Booth has no habit of lying and is always outspoken. "Hachiko: A Dog's Story has a much better reputation and is also quite popular. We don't stand a chance at all."

"Director Kelvin," Joe Kenneth said, "Your idea is a bit decadent. The movie has only been released for a week, and there is still a long time to go. It may be delayed. For us, there is plenty of time, and we can continue to think of solutions."

"I"

"You've been in the film industry for so long, and this could be your last film, so I still hope it can have a good result," said Joe Kenneth. "Even if it doesn't become the first, it would be pleasing to see a higher box office performance."

Seeing Kelvin Booth's expression, Joe Kenneth continued, "The entire company attaches great importance to your film, and there is plenty of publicity funds. You can continue to try."

"it is good"

Since the president has said this, Kelvin Booth can only agree.

As for whether there would be any improvement, he didn't hold out much hope.

This is no longer the stage where box office performance can be improved simply by publicity.

Not long after, watching Kelvin Booth leave, Joe Kenneth shook his head and sighed.

Originally, he thought that "Pan Jixing 2" would not face any rivals after its release, just like when the first film was released, its box office performance was far ahead of others.

Now it seems that I still underestimated Tan Yue.

Joe Kenneth himself knew that the hope of overtaking was slim, but he still had to at least try, just in case he succeeded.

After all, the publicity funds have been approved.

The reason why he wanted to continue trying was that Joe Kenneth felt a little embarrassed.

Tan Yue has indeed achieved good box office results in the global film industry, and he still has a certain personal influence.

Losing to Tan Yue is understandable.

But the Brilliant Entertainment company behind him is too inconspicuous.

This is an entertainment company that is only ranked third-rate internationally, while Lin Ao Global Group is a world-class entertainment company.

Comparing the two companies is like an adult versus a child, and the adult loses to the child.

Joe Kenneth always had this in mind.

And he knew that several other world-class entertainment companies would definitely be behind the scenes.

Mina Films.

President James Sidney felt deeply moved when he read the online discussions about "Hachiko: A Dog's Story".

This time, Tan Yue’s opponent is Kelvin Butz, a very capable director who made great contributions to the development of the film industry.

Now, he is no match for Tan Yue.

Those who are familiar with the film industry can already tell which movie will win between "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" and "Pan Jixing 2".

In his opinion, Tan Yue's ability is definitely ranked first among all directors in the world.

With the brilliant achievements that Tan Yue has made so far, other directors can only envy him.

Just breaking the global box office record is the dream of many directors.

Mina Films once invited Tan Yue to visit, which was proposed by James Sidney.

Although Tan Yue canceled the plan due to some issues at that time, it did not affect the relationship between the two companies at all.

James Sidney turned his head and looked out the window in a daze, wondering which director under the company could compete with Tan Yue?

There are a few directors who are as famous as Tan Yue, and their filming skills are also quite good.

After all, Mina Films made its fortune from movies.

However, their talents are far inferior to Tan Yue's and they do not have much competitive advantage.

Just like Kelvin Butz this time, the directing level is very high and the shooting technology is also top-notch, but the overall quality of the film is still slightly worse.

moment.

James Sidney shook his head.

If he really competed head-on with Tan Yue, he was not absolutely sure of finding someone he could beat.

Competition in the global film market is already fierce, and audience tastes are constantly changing. There are few people like Tan Yue who can accurately understand audience preferences every time.

James Sidney put his thoughts aside, picked up the documents and continued with the work at hand.

Tan Yue is a very strong opponent, and he doesn't want his company's movies to clash with Tan Yue's in the future.

After comprehensive consideration, James Sidney felt that his chances of winning were too slim.

James Sidney suddenly stopped what he was doing and a new idea came to his mind.

Due to some special circumstances, Tan Yue was unable to come last time, and he plans to invite Tan Yue again after a while.

Tan Yue can be an opponent, and naturally he can also be a teammate.

Since it is difficult to defeat, why not come over and have a chat?

Good for both parties.

Although Mina Films is already a giant among global entertainment companies, James Sidney always has a sense of crisis in his heart.

Only by continuous development can you make your position more stable.

James Sidney smiled faintly and continued to work.

United States.

A bar.

This bar is not very big, but its decoration is extremely luxurious.

There are all kinds of wine on the wine cabinet, and the bottles are also in strange shapes.

A bartender was throwing the bottle in his hand high up, then catching it steadily and pouring the wine into the glass.

The waiter who had been waiting for a long time picked up two glasses of wine and sent them to the "guests". There were only two guests, one of whom was the owner of the bar.

This bar is not open to the public, it is a place where he invites friends to hang out.

"The film of Linao Global Group actually lost to a Chinese director. It's really embarrassing."

"Haha, it's really embarrassing. After all, Linao Global Group is a world-class entertainment company. Now that I talk about this, I feel embarrassed myself."

The two men are the owners of two other world-class entertainment companies.

The two of them picked up their cups, clinked them together, took a sip, and laughed out loud.

If Joe Kenneth heard this laughter, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

The laughter was full of sarcasm.

"It's too bad. It can't even beat a Chinese director. I think Linao Global Group should withdraw from the ranks of world-class entertainment companies."

"What do you think of this director from China?"

"He's just a little more famous, as for his strength." The man shook his head.

The two people did not communicate much on this topic, and did not take Tan Yue seriously.

Competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce, and there are countless entertainment companies around the world, but only five can be called world-class entertainment companies.

Strength is the greatest confidence.

The reason why they talked about this matter this time was entirely because of the excitement of Lin Ao Global Group.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be mentioned at all.

Beijing.

General Administration of Culture.

Ye Wen took a pen and wrote something on the paper.

Now that you have decided to organize a meeting, you naturally need to sort out the process.

moment.

Ye Wen put down her pen and fell into thought.

She wanted to tell the director about the situation of the global film market, but all she had were some data that could only be used as a reference.

It would be best to find someone with experience to explain it to these directors.

Ye Wen naturally thought of Tan Yue.

When it comes to experience in the global film market, Tan Yue is the most experienced director in China, bar none.

The success of a work may be largely due to luck.

But the performance of each work is outstanding, which is a testament to its own strength.

Ye Wen had contacted Tan Yue before, but she was not sure whether Tan Yue would agree this time, so she picked up her phone and made a call.

"Ye Bureau."

Tan Yue answered the call quickly.

"Mr. Tan, the box office performance of Hachiko: A Dog's Story is very good this time. I would like to congratulate you in advance for winning the box office championship again."

"It's still early, Director Ye."

"Not too early. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Hachiko: A Dog's Story has a higher reputation and popularity than the other nine films, and its box office performance is definitely the highest."

Tan Yue smiled slightly, still a little surprised.

He didn't expect Ye Wen to pay so much attention to his movie.

But thinking about Kelvin Booth's previous remarks, I understood the reason.

Ye Wen said: "This time you have once again won back face for our domestic films."

"It's all what we should do. The more foreigners look down on us, the more we must defeat them in this regard."

"Well said." Ye Wen couldn't help but praise him. She was very happy and went on to talk about business. "The development of domestic films has always been an urgent matter. This road is destined to be very difficult. I plan to organize a seminar on improving the level of directors in the near future. I hope you can come and participate and tell them about it and share your experience."

"Of course there is no problem." Tan Yue agreed readily.

Tan Yue and Ye Wen have always helped each other.

"Thank you, Mr. Tan."

"They are all small matters." Tan Yue asked, "When will it be scheduled? I'll arrange the time first."

"The time is tentatively set after your movie ends its theatrical run, which is about a month from now. I'm just starting to plan it now, and I'll let you know when the time is out."

"no problem."

"Let me put it this way first."

"Goodbye, Director Ye."

"goodbye!"

Ye Wen put down her phone. With Tan Yue's participation, the meeting schedule became easier to arrange.

She thought of scheduling the meeting after Hachiko: A Dog's Story was released, also taking into account that Tan Yue had to keep an eye on the film's situation at home and abroad.

Ye Wen continued to organize the meeting process.

Bright Entertainment Company.

Tan Yue put his phone on the desk and looked down at the documents.

Having attended this kind of meeting before, he knew clearly what needed to be covered in the meeting, and it would not be too late to prepare once a specific time was available.

dong dong dong.

As there was a knock on the door, Chen Ziyu opened the door and came in.

"Ayue, are you done?"

Only then did Tan Yue notice that it was already noon, and he stood up and said, "Let's watch it in the afternoon. Let's go eat first."

The two of them were walking and chatting.

"I just received a call from Director Ye. He is planning to organize a meeting and asked me to give a speech."

"Give the director a speech?"

Tan Yue hummed and said, "Director Ye wants to improve the overall level of domestic directors and is very anxious."

"There is nothing we can do about it. The situation of domestic films has always been difficult. If we want to change this, we can only rely on directors."

“I hope this approach will work a little.”

Chen Ziyu pondered, “I think it may be of great help to some directors, but it will have little effect on most people.”

It is very difficult for domestic films to change.

The director's ability is one of the factors that led to this situation, but there are many other factors.

Just by thinking about it, Chen Ziyu felt that Ye Wen had a very heavy burden on her shoulders.

"Just do your best."

Tan Yue never thought that he alone could completely change the situation of domestic films in the global film market.

What he can do is to change the impression of domestic films in the minds of foreign audiences.

Chen Ziyu nodded.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the restaurant on the first floor.

After ordering, Chen Ziyu said, "The box office performance of Hachiko: A Dog's Story is getting better and better. How much do you think it will achieve this time?"

"I don't know." Tan Yue smiled and shook his head.

"Take a guess."

Tan Yue pondered: "As long as we can enter the top ten of the global movie box office list, it will be fine."

“This is easy to achieve!”

Chen Ziyu is looking forward to the final box office results.
