It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 705: Ali's tyranny! Popular IP + fan movies + new film and television development strategy of well-known directors!
Although in the eyes of people in the industry, the Shanghai Film Festival is a very watered-down and low-end film festival.

But it is undeniable that it is the only A-class film festival currently in the country, and in terms of level, it is even on par with the three major film festivals of Berlin, Cannes and Venice.

After entering the venue, under the guidance of the staff, Chen Fei and the other four people walked to the front row.

Although he decided to attend the Shanghai Film Festival awards ceremony at the last minute, the organizers still arranged a seat for him in the front row of the "Inch of Gold" section.

Chen Fei was still wondering which unlucky guy had been replaced by him, but when he came to his seat, he found that there was a name tag under his name.

While no one else was paying attention, he lifted a corner and took a look.

But when he saw the name "Yu Dong", he was immediately happy.

Fatty Yu is really unlucky. Not only is he dizzy and disoriented because of the torment he suffered from his ex-wife, but now he doesn't even have a seat.

After calmly pasting the opened corner, Chen Fei raised his eyes and looked around.

Compared to the outer field, there are more people entering the inner field, and most of them are acting in the form of a "crew".

For example, Tang Yan and Zhong Hanliang's "The Silent War", Huang Xiaoming and Chen Qiao'an's "The Splendid Adventure of Jin Xiu Yuan", Huang Xuan and Tangren's new No. 1 actress Chen Yao's "The Imperial Doctress"...

In addition to the crew members from other companies, Chen Fei also saw people from his own crews such as "Day and Night Chase", "The Journey of Flower", "Nirvana in Fire", and "Red Sorghum".

However, due to their fame and status, most people in these crews were mostly active in the back rows of the venue and were not qualified to sit in the front row.

The most powerful ones are the stars who "returned" from South Korea, as well as the actors, directors and writers who are constantly marketing to their fans.

Looking at Lu Han, Wu Yifan, Guo Jingming and others who were surrounded, Wang Changtian on the side couldn't help but sigh: "Fans have followed them to the award ceremony, isn't that great?"

"Haha, where are we going now?"

Fade Chen shook his head and looked at the group of unfamiliar faces on the left side of the venue.

From the way these people were dressed and the discussions of the people around them, he quickly determined their identities.

Without exception, all of them are from Internet companies.

Penguin, Alibaba, Baidu, Sohu...

Perhaps noticing his gaze, Ye Ning suddenly came over and said with emotion: "You came back a few days late and were unable to participate in the previous exchange meeting. These Internet companies are quite ambitious!"

Chen Fei smiled slightly: "I have heard of it. It is the Summit Forum on New Thinking in Internet Film and Television and Traditional Film and Television Culture, right?"

"That's right." Ye Ning's eyes were extremely complicated: "To win over, suppress, compete... these people are the real bad guys, even scarier than pirated ones!"

In fact, Chen Fei's name was also on the invitation list for this forum, but he was filming in South Africa at the time and had no time to come back to participate.

So, Su Guohai became his representative and attended this "Peak Forum".

As soon as the meeting ended, Chen Fei received the news.

Su Guohai’s original words were: “That group of people prepared a PowerPoint presentation of more than 10,000 words, claiming that the traditional film and television industry has exhausted its potential, the production model is too backward, the content is conservative and old-fashioned, the innovation ability is extremely poor, the market development is slow, and famous directors and actors are all complacent.

After suppressing it for a while, they claimed that the Internet is the future of the film and television industry. They will inject new vitality into the traditional film and television industry, give it new thinking, and transform it.

The strategy to implement this approach is to use popular IP + fan movies + well-known directors..."

At that time, after Chen Fei finished listening, only three words popped up in his mind.

Cheap money!
The PPT may seem quite high-end, but in essence it is to use data to analyze which actor is more popular, which screenwriter's works are more popular, and which director is more capable, and then combine these to hype it up, ultimately creating a hodgepodge and letting fans pay for it.

To give the simplest example, a huge amount of money was spent to let Chen Fei direct the "Tiny Times" series of films, and then the starring team used actors such as Liu Yifei, Wu Yifan, Yang Mi, Lu Han, and Yang Ying.

Let me ask you, which fan wouldn’t be excited after seeing this lineup?
And this is the result created by "popular IP + fan movie + well-known director".

At that conference, people from Alibaba cited Marvel as an example and used terms such as big data, fan movies, and precision feeding.

In the end, they even shouted the slogan "The film industry will no longer be a high-risk industry from now on", which confused the traditional film industry practitioners present.

Even when Su Guohai was talking to Chen Fei on the phone, he repeatedly raised questions about whether the strategy mentioned by Ali was feasible.

I have to say, the brainwashing level of these people in Internet companies is really amazing!
Chen Fei's response to this was simple: "Feiyue Film and Television has a huge library of film and television copyrights. We have no shortage of good scripts, good directors, and good actors.

We have cinemas, platforms, animation production business, special effects production business, two large IP platforms, Shanda Literature and Jinjiang, and even downstream platforms such as MiHoYo and YouYaoQi Comics.

We are already in an invincible position, so why should we flatter those Internet companies?
Even if they fail, they can just walk away and continue to mess around with the Internet, but if we get involved, once we fail, we will be doomed!"

It was this long paragraph that directly pulled Su Guohai back.

In a trance, he finally realized that compared with the foundation built by Feiyue Film and Television, those Internet companies were simply younger brothers.

During this period, those Internet companies have been visiting one after another. Aren’t they just trying to pull the giant Feiyue Film and Television into the market and tie them to the same boat?
But is it necessary for Feiyue Films to do this?

Feiyue Films has popular IPs and well-known directors, but as for fan movies, can they compare with high-quality blockbusters?

A "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and a "The Martian" are enough to let the Internet companies catch up. Can they catch up?

After thinking it through, the first thing Su Guohai did was to stop contacting the representatives sent by those Internet companies and stopped them all outside the company.

Seeing that they could not break through the wall of Feiyue Film and Television, a group of Internet companies ran to Huayi.

When faced with these Internet companies, the two Wang brothers had no power to resist and were easily defeated.

At the venue of the Shanghai Film Festival today, Wang Zhonglei sat next to Ali's people. Both of them laughed from time to time and had a very enjoyable and happy chat.

Similarly, there were many people who leaned over like Huayi, and most of them sat near Ali, looking like die-hard fans.

This situation is quite normal. After all, Alibaba is now the leader in the Internet industry, firmly suppressing Penguin, and Ma Yun is now a god-like existence with "fans" all over the country.

But in Chen Fei's opinion, this guy has actually been playing with the things that Jewish capital has left over.

It is indeed useful to bring this set of skills into the country, but after a long time, he will eventually be exposed.

……

There was actually nothing interesting about the award ceremony. Without interference from external forces, the Shanghai Film Festival returned to its "worshiping foreign things and fawning on foreigners" state.

Of the seven awards in the main competition unit, except for the Grand Jury Prize and Best Cinematography Award, all the other awards were taken by foreign films.

As for the Asian Newcomer Award, not a single domestic film won the award.

The only thing that caught Chen Fei's attention was the Film Channel Media Awards.

Xiao Yang actually won the Best New Director Award for "Old Boy: Way of the Dragon", which made many people at the scene pay some attention to the director who sang "Little Apple".

The final closing ceremony film was "Transformers 4" directed by Michael Bay.

Halfway through the movie, Chen Fei noticed that Wang Changtian's face had fallen. It was obvious that he had even less confidence in "The Breakup Master".

When the entire award ceremony was officially declared over, warm applause broke out at the scene.

Regardless of their mood, everyone at the scene appeared to be very happy and joyful.

Fade Chen yawned, stood up, greeted the people around him, and then prepared to walk out of the venue.

In fact, there was a large banquet coming up, but he had no interest in attending it.

At his current level, there is no need for him to engage in meaningless social activities. Moreover, if he counts all the guests in the entire venue, no one is worth his fawning or pandering to.

However, before he took a few steps, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment." "Hmm?"

Fade Chen stopped, turned around, and looked behind him.

The next second, a fat and balding middle-aged man came towards him with a smile.

Before the person arrived, his hand was already extended: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Zhang Wei, the co-president of Alibaba Pictures."

Out of politeness, Fade Chen shook hands with him.

He had no intention of greeting this person, so he asked directly: "Hello, what's up?"

Zhang Qi didn't seem to expect Chen Fei's attitude to be so cold. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, is it convenient for you now? Why don't we find a place to sit down?"

Fade Chen shook his head: "Sorry, I have something else to do later. Just tell me what you want to say."

"Tomorrow is fine too." Zhang Qiong seemed to be persistent.

"I have to go to the crew for filming tomorrow."

Seeing that Chen Fei was not moved, the smile on Zhang Qie's face faded.

After looking around and making sure that the people from Penguin and Baidu were only paying attention to this side and had not surrounded him, he said briefly:

"Mr. Chen may have some misunderstandings about Alibaba. Our people have tried to discuss cooperation with you many times, but were repeatedly rejected..."

Chen Fei had a smile on his face, but his tone was as if he was rejecting someone: "Mr. Zhang may not know that Feiyue Film and Television currently has no plans to cooperate with Internet companies."

Zhang Qi was a little anxious, and spoke very quickly: "We have money, channels, resources, big data, and can lead..."

Fade Chen interrupted directly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, it seems that I have everything you said."

"..."

Zhang Qie felt extremely uncomfortable seeing a big piece of fat meat in front of him but being unable to get it into his mouth.

All he lacks now is an opportunity. As long as he can break through the barriers of Feiyue Film and Television, even if it is just the barrier of the smallest project, he will be able to erode it step by step and directly turn Feiyue Film and Television into Alibaba's Feiyue Film and Television.

However, Fade Chen didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Zhang Qi still did not give up and tried hard to deceive: "Feiyue Film and Television is the top in the domestic film and television industry, and we Alibaba is the leader among Internet companies.

As long as we cooperate, whether it is financing and listing, or promoting new projects in the future, it will become easy..."

Fade Chen shrugged, raised his arms and crossed them over his chest, and said jokingly, "We can do this even without Ali."

This is a fact recognized by the industry, and Zhang Qi has no reason to refute it.

And from what Chen Fei said, there is absolutely no possibility of cooperation between the two parties. They can only be opponents in the future and there is no possibility of becoming friends.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qie became angry.

Once a person becomes proud for too long, he will no longer be able to suppress his inner pride.

He put away his smile and said to Chen Fei shamelessly, "Since there is no possibility of cooperation, I wish Mr. Chen and Feiyue Film and Television a smooth journey.

Alibaba's film and television projects will be launched in one or two years. I hope we don't run into them. It would be embarrassing if it broke Feiyue Film's undefeated myth. "

At this moment, Ali's tyranny was fully demonstrated by Zhang Qiang.

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Fei suddenly laughed out loud, attracting the attention of many people around him.

He leaned forward slightly, stared at Zhang Qie with the same eyes that Lei Jun had used to look at Zhou Hongwei, and said word by word: "I am looking forward to that day.

I also hope that Alibaba can put some pressure on Feiyue Films so that we can continue to move forward. After all... it's really boring to have no rivals."

Not far away, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, Gu Yongqiang and others, who had faintly heard the noise, walked over here, their sharp eyes fixed on Zhang Qi.

Ali was well-known in the industry for his tyranny, and several people were a little worried that Chen Fei would suffer a loss due to his young age.

However, before they got close, they saw Zhang Qie with a gloomy face, turned around and walked quickly towards the Ali lineup.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like there's something wrong between you two?"

Wang Changtian walked closer and looked at Chen Fei curiously.

"Nothing. Just a domineering guy who is used to hearing obedience and suddenly gets humiliated. He is just venting his dissatisfaction."

Chen Fei didn't take Alibaba Pictures seriously at all. They even dreamed of sniping at the film and television works produced by Feiyue Films. It's really laughable.

Wang Changtian patted his chest generously and said, "If you need any help, just ask."

Chen Fei looked back at him and warned him, "Ali is planning to take over Youku recently. You have to keep your position stable and make sure they don't find a way to break through."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I would never give a money jar away to someone else."

Ever since piracy has been cracked down on one by one, the industry's rating of Youku has continued to rise.

There is no company that is not envious of this video playback platform that holds many film and television copyrights.

Unfortunately, Chen Fei was keeping a tight rein on the details and didn't reveal a single detail to the outside world. This made many companies envious, but they were helpless.

Wang Changtian had finally managed to get a ride, so how could he possibly jump out of the car?
Maybe, in the future Youku’s market value will even be higher than Guangxian. He is not stupid, so how could he throw away this “money printing machine”?

……

The day after the closing ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival, news about the event had already spread online.

"It is reported that during the Shanghai International Film Festival, Alibaba Pictures led a number of Internet companies to propose a new film and television production model of popular IP + fan movies + well-known directors, which shocked a number of filmmakers in the traditional production industry."

"A new era of the film and television industry is coming. Popular IPs will become the core resources that are being fought over, and big data will be one of the most important killer weapons in the future film and television industry!"

"Director Chen Fei made a surprise appearance at the awards ceremony, and all the cast members of Avengers 2 have assembled in Shanghai."

"According to relevant insiders, after the closing ceremony movie was over, director Chen Fei and Alibaba Pictures president Zhang Wei had an argument. The two of them were at loggerheads and the atmosphere was very tense for a while."

"The latest insider information is that Feiyue Film and Television is no longer in contact with any Internet companies and is suspected to be very opposed to the integration of the new Internet film and television industry..."

There are many different opinions online, with various judgments and discussions echoing under many topics.

Chen Fei didn't pay any attention to these at all, because the comments that needed to be controlled would be handled by Weibo for him, and the rest were insignificant.

"Avengers 2" still needs two more days of preparation before it can start filming, so he plans to attend the China premiere of "Transformers 4" first, and then visit the "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" under construction.

But he never expected that before he set off, a piece of news suddenly occupied the headlines of major entertainment news websites.

The day after the Shanghai International Film Festival awards ceremony, the brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei suddenly held a press conference and officially announced:

"The Feng Xiaogang Film Commune, a Feng Xiaogang film-themed town with a total investment of 55 billion yuan by Huayi and covering an area of ​​1400 acres, has officially opened!"

When the news was announced, as expected, the entire entertainment industry went wild!

Huayi’s stock price rose in response, and the company’s market value soared all the way, charging towards 300 billion RMB!
At this moment, the slogan "de-monotonization of movies" that Wang Zhonglei had shouted at the company's annual meeting seemed to have achieved great success!
