The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 38
Objectively speaking, Chen Jingxing was a little flustered when he first heard the news. Although he is already a well-known genius director, he has not really entered the film industry. Overseas are all distributed online. I didn't expect that the first real theater movie would get into trouble before it was finished.

Of course, it didn't take long, Chen Jingxing calmed down and had some ideas about the outline of the whole incident, and Zhang Jingyan's call from Huanshiwang added the last piece of the puzzle for him.

As one of the five major film studios in Huaguo, Jianghe Culture suddenly launched an attack on its artists. The real reason behind it is definitely not because some artist angered the boss of the film and television industry, and the boss issued a ban order in anger.

There are already many marketing accounts on the Internet that write this way, and even most of Luochen's fans share this opinion. Jianghe's boss created a tailor-made prize competition project for Luochen. For the company's movies, the boss is angry and wants to teach the disobedient artists a lesson.

This kind of interpretation in the style of Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles is relatively easy to understand.

However, the rules and styles of the game in the mainland entertainment industry are completely different. Usually, such dramatic dramas do not appear. The mainland entertainment industry may have a contract of selling themselves on paper, but there are no artists who really sell themselves. Even the five major studios, There is also no patriarchal management ability for its artists, let alone the Internet capital that is watching from the sidelines. The game of Hong Kong, Taiwan or Japan and South Korea cannot be used here.

The purpose of Jianghe Culture's sudden transformation into a Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment boss to do this is not Luo Chen, but entirely for Huanshiwang.com.

The raid was both a warning and a counterattack.

In recent years, there has been a wave of establishment of personal studios in the entertainment industry. Although the superficial reason is to avoid taxes, in essence, it has greatly disintegrated the ability of large companies to control star artists. Behind this trend is Internet capital. boost.

Most companies will turn a blind eye to the star's intention to cancel the brokerage contract and set up his own business, and even actively cooperate and participate in it personally. The entry of Internet capital has pushed up the film and television bubble, and a second- and third-tier The initial valuation of a celebrity studio is tens of millions, and it can double in a year. Who can refuse something that can make money?

There are even quite a few companies that take the initiative to cancel the artist's brokerage contract, promote their artists to set up studios, attract Internet capital injections and hype, and get a share of the action themselves.

It seems that this is a matter of mutual benefit if you cooperate, and loss if you tear your face apart.

However, Jianghe Culture chose to break up with its star artists, and the target was directed at Huanshiwang, which encouraged Luochen to set up a studio.If Jianghe Culture initiates a lawsuit, although it may not win the lawsuit, it will also have a negative impact on the films that Huanshi.com will lead to distribute in the future.

It may not be that they really want to go to court with Huanshiwang. Chen Jingxing judges that this is most likely a threat from Jianghe culture to Huanshiwang. Maybe the two sides will have to exchange some benefits in exchange for Jianghe culture's peace of mind.

In addition, Xu Wenshen believes that this may be a tentative attack by traditional studios on Huanshi.com's re-production and distribution of theater movies.

Since the 1.5 million mythical blockbuster hit the street tragically, Huanshi.com and the other major video platforms have been honest for a while, and have become film and television investors with money everywhere. After two years of dormancy, Huanshi.com started to enter again In the field of film production and distribution, although there are only two films with small investment, this move is likely to arouse the vigilance of traditional studios.

Because the volume of Huanshi.com is too large, Internet capital makes people feel scared.

The market value of Huanshi.com alone exceeds the combined volume of the five major studios. If the Internet capital is the Yangtze River, the film industry is a small ditch.

Once the Internet capital proves that the films it produces and distributes can be successful in the market, the entire film industry will undergo earth-shaking changes, like a hole in a seemingly solid levee, and the flood will wash away the entire line of defense. .

In the past two years, traditional studios have relied on the handicraft nature of the film industry to exclude Internet capital from the core industry chain. They have tried their best to monopolize high-quality and reliable content creators in order to allow online platforms such as Huanshi.com to hold A lot of money can't succeed in the market.

And this line of defense will not last long. Although traditional studios should be aware of this problem, their conservative stance determines that they should try their best to make this day come as late as possible, because they do not know that the Internet capital flood will What can it bring to the film industry, what can it shape the industry, and the only thing that can make them feel safe is to maintain the status quo.

It’s okay to say that China Film and Beijing Film are state-owned enterprises, but Jianghe, Tianrun and United Cinemas are private capital. In the future map of the film industry shaped by Internet capital, do they have a place, or can they maintain their current positions? Now no one can see clearly.

Therefore, Luochen and "Fatal Identity" were equivalent to bumping their heads into the muzzle of a gun, and became tools for Jianghe Culture and Huanshiwang.

"Do you want to consider changing actors?"

Xu Wenshen got up and locked the door, and asked in a low voice, the actor change he was talking about was obviously referring to Luo Chen.

Jianghe Culture threatened and demanded that the relevant parties stop the infringement, and believed that the contracted artist Luo Chen’s illegal cooperation with the two companies had caused serious consequences and huge losses to him, that is, Huanshi.com and DreamWorks should stop Luo Chen’s related performing arts activities .

Chen Jingxing shook his head: "Impossible, it is impossible for Huanshiwang to back down."

At the very beginning, he also felt a little annoyed with Luo Chen and Huanshiwang, why did he insist on setting up some kind of studio at this time?Huanshiwang also invested 40% of the shares?Still sending out drafts everywhere, can't you wait until the film is finished and released before you hook up?
I have to say that Huanshi.com has done too much of this kind of thing in the past few years, and it is a bit reckless.

But the most basic rationality told him that once the Huanshiwang ship was on board, it would not be easy to disembark. As soon as Jianghe Culture's ten-thousand-character long text was sent out, whether Chen Jingxing liked it or not, he was already on the same side as Huanshiwang and Luo Chen. The camp has changed, and he absolutely cannot admit defeat or even jump back at this time.

Not to mention that Zhang Jingyan's phone call clearly indicated that Huanshiwang couldn't back down.

And just now he gently persuaded Luo Chen who came to apologize, no matter what, the crew must not be chaotic, and they must not engage in internal strife at this time.

Finishing the movie as soon as possible is the top priority, he doesn't want to suffer in the ice and snow anymore.

Xu Wenshen frowned: "However, if Jiang He really files a lawsuit, it may be very detrimental to the release of the movie."

Chen Jingxing curled his lips: "Not necessarily, maybe there will be a wave of hype at that time, and the people all over the country know about "Fatal Identity", isn't it good?"

Xu Wenshen: "...it doesn't seem unreasonable?"

While Chen Jingxing and Xu Wenshen were discussing how to deal with the Jianghe Culture attack, Luo Chen downstairs was also on the phone in his room.

Manager: "Are you done apologizing to Director Chen?"

Luo Chen: "The apology is over. Director Chen's attitude is very good, he said that he will let me film with peace of mind, don't think about it."

Manager: "That's good, don't worry, President Zhao of Huanshiwang just called me, it's nothing serious, it won't have much impact."

Luo Chen nodded. It's not that he hasn't experienced the turmoil of contract termination. As long as Huanshi.com has a firm stance, even if Jianghe Culture initiates a lawsuit, it won't win, but he still has some worries in his heart: "I saw Zhang Chenming from Jianghe said on the Internet that he might file a lawsuit against me. Kill order?"

Agent: "Aren't you usually shrewd, kid? Are you stunned by Tian Shenxuan now? You still have a ban order, he thought it was more than ten years ago? Now it's the era of mobile Internet, why is there still a ban order? He thought he was the film director?"

Luo Chen heaved a sigh of relief: "Sister Yang, you are my Dinghaishenzhen. I was really a little scared just now."

The so-called banning order bans the artist's exposure. If it were before the Internet age, Jianghe Culture's status in the rivers and lakes would indeed have the capital to issue a banning order.

Entering the Internet era is quite different. The Internet has become the main channel for exposure. Only a network ban is called a ban. Unless the official department speaks out or the network platform cooperates to block it, it is called a true ban. If an offline company calls for a ban, then only Ridiculous.

Not to mention that Luochen is backed by the largest Internet video platform, Jiang He actually has no real effective means of threat. This is also the embarrassing situation that most traditional film and television companies and studios face when facing "rebellious" star artists. Capital conducts patriarchal management on celebrity artists.
