The Godfather of Almighty Entertainment

Chapter 1423 Unacceptable
Doug Li was in a daze. He was in a daze before he made the call. He didn't know why Xu Duan targeted him like this. After the phone call, he was still in a daze because he didn't know how things turned out like this.

This is a sad story, so sad that Doug Lee could not see any hope at all. Originally, he came to a new market with full confidence, but before it was released, he made a fatal mistake. Offended light.

To be honest, it’s not a big deal in the entertainment circle to hold the top and step down. Countless people take it for granted and regard it as the code of conduct. Even if you step on someone who is taller than you occasionally, it’s not a big deal. As long as you can hold it back, you can make trouble There won't be much consequences, but if you accidentally step on the entire circle and affect everyone's interests, then the result will be a dead end.

But now, the mistake Doug Lee made was that he moved everyone's interests at once. Originally, Doug Lee didn't realize this, and none of the practitioners in the Republic realized this, but there was a certain decision, so this became the consensus of all.

Now Doug Lee still has two options, one is to withdraw directly from the Republic Market, and come back quietly after the hustle and bustle of this matter passes, but it is estimated that the box office will not be too good, because the limelight has passed, which means that its popularity has not. Yes, people are very forgetful. If you didn’t ride the wind in the past, you won’t be waiting for you in the next one, because there will be someone who rides the wind in the next one, and the other option is to stand up However, it will suffer an extremely severe blow. In the future, the box office may be extremely tragic. Of course, it is also possible to create a word-of-mouth counterattack, because Doug Lee is still very confident in the quality of his films.

Of course, Doug Lee knows that his movie is extremely unsuitable for release now, but he has no way out, because he has already spent more than N to announce the release. If he suddenly tells the head office that the movie will not be released, he will have no way to explain it. Yes, even if he also invested in this movie, the bosses of the head office will not accept it, because if he withdraws, it means that he will have to spend another round of announcement money in the future, and the bosses have to consider the cost Yes, global distribution is not easy. The cost of a round of publicity is really no less than the cost of making an international blockbuster. Even if it is just a publicity in the Republic, it is really not a small amount. , such a price no matter what the bosses want to see the return, no return is absolutely unacceptable.

So even though he was helpless, Doug Lee still had to persevere in the Republic market. It was a normal result. Although he had a lot of autonomy to lead the team, he had no control over whether the film was going to be released or not. result.

In the end, the screening plan for Alien Visitors was still implemented as originally planned. Although the screening venue failed to invite famous celebrities from the Republic to help the platform, it was still a little angry, and there was no news at all.

It's just that the little news he got out is really pitiful, because in the time before and after the extraterrestrial visitors ordered screenings, two heavyweight blockbusters came in by air, one from Bai's popular martial arts blockbuster "Deadly Swordsman", one The war blockbuster "The Overlord of Western Chu" from Shenzhou Entertainment, both of which are big-budget and big-produced, with famous directors and famous actors, and the publicity and distribution team are all first-class. Squeezed out the news of "Guest from Extraterrestrials", which made Doug Lee want to cry without tears.

But there is no other way, Sheng Fang is too strong, and the news is suddenly released that he will give up the theater channel of this schedule for others to use, so Bai Shi and Shenzhou Entertainment are not crazy?He pounced on it like a wolf, not to mention a Doug Lee, even ten or eight Bai Shi and Shenzhou Entertainment would have to tear it to pieces.

The fact is as expected, as the overwhelming publicity of the two films further squeezed the living space of "Alien Guest", the negative reviews of "Alien Guest" also followed.

This is not surprising. In fact, to put it bluntly, the competition between marketing is to compete for the right to speak of public opinion. Whoever grabs the right to speak will have an advantage in the competition. Of course, this is about the competition between films of similar quality. , if the quality of the film is really terrible, no matter how much you have the right to speak, you will not be able to withstand the verbal criticism of the people of the whole country. After all, the number of the people's army is the largest. If you can fool for a while, can you fool for a lifetime?right?

This point is actually easy to understand. Compared with most films, the initial word-of-mouth is the guarantee of the box office, because the life cycle of a movie’s profitability is extremely short. This movie does not make money and no one watches it, so the theaters will immediately reduce the number of movies and give them to other movies. One month, and for most movies, it takes about ten days to recover the box office. A few days ago, the word-of-mouth failed and the lineup was gone. If you want to arrange the film again, it is not an idiot's dream, so what?Almost tantamount to being completely screwed.

But now it is clear that with Sheng Fang's acquiescence, "Alien Visitor" has almost no ability to compete with Bai's Shenzhou Entertainment for the initial right to speak in public opinion. Whether it is the film reviews, word-of-mouth or media reports, it is almost one-sided. "Alien Visitor" is at an extreme disadvantage and has no power to fight back.

Moreover, the alien visitor was chased after by Xu Duan's fans because he provoked Xu Duan at first, and almost couldn't read the movie reviews.

"I'll go, what is this filmed? Trisolaran said that the alien technology is weak, bad review!"

"Singer Civilization said that there is no civilization that cannot be destroyed by extinguishing their sun. If there is, give him a two-way foil!"

"Can't even extinguish the sun is called science fiction, bad review!"

"That's right, I don't even have Er Xiang Foil, bad review!"

"It's so simple, even if you don't know how to reduce dimensionality, you dare to call it sci-fi. Er Xiangfu said that we don't recognize such sci-fi, bad review!"

……

In a few minutes, the extraterrestrial visitor just clicked the screening and before the picture was opened, the film reviews were maxed out. The intention of maliciously brushing black reviews was not concealed, and the one who sincerely showed it to Doug Lee almost turned the table off. I'm Nima, my buddy's film has something to do with the fucking Trisolarans, you just give a bad review, and you f*ck off the sun, Er Xiangfu, your sister, that has something to do with the buddy's movie, you just Bad reviews and bad reviews!

Doug Li was so worried, but Xu Duan at this time had completely let go of this matter, because at this time Doug Li was already a fish on the chopping board, no matter what he was in front of Bai Shi and Shenzhou Entertainment. We can't turn up the turmoil, because Bai and Shenzhou Entertainment haven't really let go of their attacks on him at this time. If they really let go, the screenwriter cheated and looked down on the people of the Republic. Either of these two topics can attract alien visitors It's his life, not just just playing around with those irrelevant funny black comments, so naturally there is no need for Xu Duan to take him to heart.

And at this time, Xu Duan has more important things to do, which are countless times more important than killing the alien visitor, and this matter will consume a lot of time and energy.
