It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

After Yang Ruoqian asked Mager to release the preliminary cast list on the Internet and carry out the first wave of promotion for the film, the entire Internet was discussing this topic.

Both at home and abroad, people are paying close attention to the new film of Kuiguang Group.

Needless to say, in China, the Kuiguang Group itself is already a top-tier company, and with the name Luo Ruying, who cheats people every day under the banner of the human body of the Kuiguang Group, she has long been the top-tier among the top-tier companies.

It’s a truly celebrity company that even celebrity artists want to take advantage of its traffic.

Although it is not so famous abroad for the time being, this cast has shocked many people.

"Is Kuiguang Group serious about this cast? If they are serious, I will definitely buy a ticket to support it!"

"Ahh! I haven't seen such an eye-catching cast in a long time. However, it says it's just the 'preliminary selection', so I think there's a high chance that there will be some surprises later on."

"At least, it will be a little better than other movies, right? I am really fed up with Mermaid Auntie and Zhu Ganglie Juliet. This is a complete blasphemy to these works and IPs."

"I couldn't agree more. I just wanted to experience a good production, see some eye candy, and relax after work. I don't think I did anything wrong."

"Why do I have to be educated after I leave school? I don't need this education, I just want to be happy."

"Yes, it's not just your movies and TV shows. Even us gamers have been greatly affected and affected. Now when I play a game, I have to look for mods and patches everywhere to change my character's appearance."

"I am only worried that under great pressure, Kuiguang Group will be forced to compromise. I have seen this happen too many times."

"Kuiguang Group is not a local company, so it is less affected by this aspect. You can watch "The Boys", I like this movie for a month because I am very interested in the characters just by their appearance."

"Hahaha! Me too. And Luo Ruying is really pretty! It makes me feel very good about this company."

"But the situation this time is really different. I suggest that everyone should not be too happy too soon. They shot those previous films in their own country, followed the review process there, and had their own crew... But this time I heard that they were shooting abroad, and the crew was no longer local."

"Yeah, I saw Mag was in the crew."

"At least it should be better than other movies. I don't ask for too much. Just have some normal characters. Look at Zhu Ganglie. Is he a normal person? He is so crazy."

“I hope they can handle the pressure.”

"I hope they can handle the pressure, because the working environment in their company is so good and the atmosphere is so relaxed. Most importantly, there is no profit-seeking atmosphere. Everyone around you encourages you to create the best work you think. Can you feel that atmosphere?"

"Too capable. The first thing my boss did when he saw me was to ask me to prove my worth. He told me that he didn't want to hear so much from me, but only wanted to see the results. I felt really wronged sometimes."

"Well, my boss said it a little better. He said, 'Young man, you may have a point, but it's not within my jurisdiction.' But it was still very hurtful."

“I don’t have a work visa there.”

"You don't need to come to our place. I heard that you also have a branch of their company over there."

"They are all full... I didn't take it seriously before, but now I don't even have a chance to get one. I regret it so much."

"Don't worry, I heard that their movie will be shot in many places, so there will definitely be more jobs. If you seize the opportunity, you will definitely be able to get in!"

"..."

"I don't agree with what you said. I think respect is the most important thing. Why can't there be more diverse actors in it? Is this considered prejudice?"

"Because people have an instinct to see whether something is comfortable or uncomfortable. I have not received much education and have not heard of so many strange theories. I only know my feelings and whether these feelings violate the law. If something makes me feel comfortable and is reasonable and legal, then why can't I pursue it?"

"Very much agree."

"These are all old ideas from the old times. I don't agree with them..."

"..."

In the brand new office, Mr. Yang read the comments in his not-so-good English and felt very satisfied - because he had achieved his goal.

As expected, foreign netizens will definitely have a big fight over this matter.

In contrast, in major domestic forums, almost everyone is discussing the plot and the appearance of the actors. Some even discuss how much benefit the money earned by the Kuiguang Group will bring to the country after the movie becomes a hit, etc.

No one will argue about the issue of "diversity" at all.

The logic is very simple. Every profession has its own specialties. Just like people who are not good at mathematics and physics are not suitable for scientific research. Can this be said to be a prejudice? It can only be said that they are not suitable.

Since you want to stand on the stage and in front of the big screen, you need the most basic corresponding skills.

If the crew needs an ugly and ferocious actor to play a role, they have to look for an actor who fits the character; similarly, if the crew needs a person with both talent and good looks, they cannot find an ugly person to play the role.

This has nothing to do with prejudice.

But... after all, this kind of topic has been turned into business by many groups, and there will be waves even without wind, not to mention that the group is now at the center of the storm.

Just as Yang Ruoqian continued to browse the relevant comments, there was a knock on his office door.

Mag walked in wearing casual clothes, looked around the office, and said with emotion: "Mr. Yang, I have to say that your aesthetic taste is indeed unique."

Yang Ruoqian's eyes were still on the phone screen, and he asked casually, "What do you mean?"

"For example, in our office, the chairs and tables must be made of the best wood and customized by the best craftsmen... and the decorations must be designed by well-known designers from regions with long historical traditions. Every inch of the material is carefully selected. But yours..." Mag thought for a moment and said sincerely, "It has a strong sense of technology and the future, and it feels particularly energetic."

In order to spend as much money as possible, Yang Ruoqian would not let his office be too shabby.

This office has Luo Ruying's holographic projection and various high-tech circuit settings. Most of the things are intelligent...

The various chips and materials used in these components are piled up in such an office, and the cost is absolutely staggering.

The cost will not be cheaper than traditional designs.

"I don't appreciate those things. Of course, I respect everyone's aesthetic taste." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand. "Compared to those meticulously crafted decorations, I actually think that these, the crystallization of all human wisdom and technology, have a more indescribable beauty." "Hahaha! Sir Yang has a young mentality."

Yang Ruoqian put down his phone and raised his chin: "Okay, let's get down to business. You didn't come to me to talk about the decoration style of my office, did you?"

"Hey, Sir Yang...some of my friends in North America sent me some news that I think you need to know."

Tsk, he is indeed an international big shot, he is well-informed.

Although the Kuiguang Group has a certain influence, in many aspects, including channels, information and recognition, it has not yet reached the standards of international giants.

"Tell me about it." Yang Ruoqian nodded, "Is it about our actor selection?"

"Yes." Mag found a sofa and sat down. "According to the information I received, more than one group is now working on a double plan."

Yang Ruoqian was very curious: "How do they come up with a double plan? What does it have to do with me?"

"The first-hand plan is to make a guideline and sell it to us at a high price. We need to modify the content of the film according to the plan in the guideline."

After hearing this extremely shocking statement, Mr. Yang, who always kept others silent, was silent for once. After several seconds, he continued to ask: "What if I don't buy this guidance letter, what will they do?"

In fact, Mr. Yang asked this question even though he already knew the answer.

But he still wanted to hear the real answer from Mag.

Mager did not disappoint Mr. Yang. He said casually, "If Sir Yang, no, if we do not purchase their service, then we will see all kinds of social media attacking and smearing our movie. If the matter is serious, there may even be legal disputes."

There is really no bottom line.

Instead of fear, Yang Ruoqian looked a little excited.

Very good!
He took so much effort to have the crew select actors who fit the characters as closely as possible, wasn't it just for the situation today?

Litigation in Western countries and litigation in China are two completely different concepts - financial resources, channels, and various factors may all break the balance of victory.

Of course, the most critical thing is financial resources, or the legal team.

A strong legal team and a well-known lawyer can largely determine the outcome of a case.

Similarly, such a law firm and such a top lawyer would charge an absolutely astronomical figure.

This is just the legal cost, there is also the publicity and promotion cost - others start to tamper with the publicity and promotion and start criticizing the movie, it is impossible for the group not to fight back, it is impossible not to spend money on public relations to prove its innocence, right?

Internationally, Mr. Yang gets excited just thinking about the cost of spending money on publicity and public relations on social media in different countries.

Now these domestic media, firstly, want to establish good relations with the Kuiguang Group, and secondly, the cost itself is not that high. The Kuiguang Group wants to find someone who is more expensive, but always runs into obstacles everywhere and has no way out.

The international market is truly a blue ocean with enormous room for development!
Yang Ruoqian forced himself to say the words "It's a deal", glanced at Mag, and asked his partner for his opinion: "How do you think we should deal with this?"

It would be even better if Mager was willing to confront these groups head-on.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to, because what he says doesn't count anyway - the contract the group signed with him was not an IP leasing contract, and Kuiguang Group has always had the decision-making power, but Mr. Yang didn't exercise it.

Mag thought for a moment and said, "If it were me before, I would have just paid the money and left it at that... The cost of two or three million dollars is actually not that high. There is no need to adopt all the contents of the reference letter. You know, their goal from the beginning to the end is that two or three million dollars."

As long as you pay the money, make changes based on the contents of the opinion letter, and give each other face, the matter will be over.

"Now? Why would you change your mind?"

Mag took a sip of tea and said as a matter of course: "Because Sir Yang, you are very confident... Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, I believe that as a partner, I can really make a lot of money with you. Since you think you can not compromise this time, then I will fully support you! Our legal team and public relations team are not just for salary without work."

Tsk, all the partners nowadays are like this.

From Cheng Fei to Mag, they all have a morbid mentality of over-trusting themselves.

They urgently need a big defeat to wake them up.

Yang Ruoqian nodded: "That's it, don't pay attention to them, just treat the emails they send as trash."

“You don’t respond to these companies, you just ignore them?”

Yang Ruoqian nodded: "That's right... You are so experienced, you must have paid this guidance fee for the movies you made before, right? Don't you want to put everything aside and just vent your anger? You are so rich now, don't you want to speak up for your own values ​​and make those who make you unhappy pay the price?"

"Do you like the feeling of being taught by others?"

Losing money is one thing, but it is impossible for Mr. Yang to just give in to being ripped off and let this group succeed in the end.

You can spend money on lawsuits, you can spend money on hiring good lawyers and finding a good legal team, you can spend money on publicity and promotion...but Mr. Yang will never spend money directly giving millions of dollars to those groups.

If you want to sue, the Kuiguang Group will accompany you. No matter which country the lawsuit is filed in, how many times the lawsuit is filed, or how much money is spent, there is no problem.

The same is true for public relations. Once the war starts, it depends on who buys more and more.

"Mr. Yang, what you said makes me excited." Mag was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "No problem! I will contact my legal team and public relations team later to see who is instructing whom!"

"Want to take millions from me?"

"We will join forces to make sure that not only will they not get these millions, but they will also lose a lot of money!"

Yang Ruoqian looked at Mag, who was provoked by him, and thought of the group's legal team who were in a state of madness.

You want to make some noise? Then make as much noise as you can this time!
As a person with a system, why would he need others to tell him what kind of movie he wants to make? (End of this chapter)
