Chapter 711

"Mr. Gao..."

Starway entertainment.

Compared with mubai entertainment, Starway entertainment is gloomy.

As the biggest investor of "Fire Hero", the loss is heavy this time.

They invested hundreds of millions in the film, but the box office was only 300 million.

As producers and distributors of films, they can get about 40% of the box office, or about 120 million.

It seems that it's not a loss, but it doesn't include the publicity expenses of their company. It's a big sum.

More than 100 million yuan was used for the production of films, that is, the salaries of film actors and the expenses of the crew

For this film, Starway entertainment made a great deal of publicity on the eve of its release, and spent more money on it. Later, it had a bad reputation at the premiere, and it spent a lot of money to guide and cover up the adverse public opinion of the film.

Before and after the loss of tens of millions into the!

Many entertainment companies make tens of millions of profits all year round. This time, Starway entertainment has lost tens of millions of net profits.

All the money earned by the Spring Festival stall has been compensated. It may not be enough!

This time, the failure of "Fire Hero" is also a lament within the board of directors.

When the film was first invested, everyone was very optimistic about it.

As a result, unexpectedly, he fell into the pit like this.

When they knew that Chen mubai had a new film, they worried that he might target them and choose to release it at the same time, which would inevitably affect the box office of their films.

Now, Chen mubai's reputation is booming, and he still has many loyal fans.

After Chen mubai announced the release date of the film, they were very happy and lost a big enemy.

And because he chose to fight monster 2, a sci-fi blockbuster, they also laughed at him for not knowing the greatness of heaven and earth, hoping to see him make a big fall.

As a result, Infernal Affairs not only sold well at the box office, but also defeated monster 2, a powerful opponent!

Even once broke into the film list of the 10th!

On the contrary, because of their bad reputation, their films of Starway entertainment were painted early and suffered heavy losses.

How happy I was, how miserable I am now!

They can't blame Gao Jin for his decision-making. After all, everyone will create momentum for the film during the publicity, and try to expand the influence of publicity as much as possible. This behavior is right, but they ignore the influence of the success of Infernal Affairs.

"Apologize." Gao Jin's voice is full of fatigue.

These days, it's just a nightmare for him, not a day to sleep well.

I can see the news of Infernal Affairs in my dream every day, and then I wake up.

Chen mubai has become a nightmare for him. Every time I fight with him, I can't make a profit, and every time I lose.

Since he took over the position of general manager of Zhang Yaohui, every time he wanted to do something ambitious, he was always influenced by Chen mubai and failed. Chen mubai has become his nightmare.

Let him wave not to go at the same time helpless.

"Good."

The meaning of apology is that they formally admit defeat, apologize to the netizens with the micro signal of "Fire Hero", admit the rubbish of film shooting, and admit all the facts they said.

This is really a double psychological and physical blow.

Even if he didn't make any money, he still had to sprinkle salt on the wound. General Manager Gao felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

There is no way not to apologize. After all, the film has been painted, the box office is doomed, and failure is a foregone conclusion.

If you apologize now, you may save a little popularity and make others feel that they still have a sense of shame. At least you can pay for the works you shoot in the future.

Blindly carrying it will only make people lose their confidence in Starway entertainment, and also make people in the industry no longer dare to accept their demand for film and television production.

After all, taking bad movies will greatly affect the reputation and reputation of the stars, which is too big, and even affect their value!

This apology is not only for netizens, but also for a vote of film and television personnel.

Even if we fail this time, we can only work hard next time. At least we should show this attitude to let everyone see.

After apologizing, I'm afraid those who scold happily won't continue to scold. That's enough.

However, the film became a joke and was ridiculed.

"Publish what I mean..."

Gao Jin slowly breathed out a breath, as if all his heavy heart had been breathed out, returning to the elite state at work again.

There are no mediocre people who can do this position. The reason why Gao Jin can take over Starway entertainment instead of Zhang Yaohui depends on his excellent working ability.

His superior position is the result of the voting of many shareholders. If he is mediocre, he will not be the general manager.

In fact, judging from many of his current decisions, there is no problem. It is only Chen mubai's repeated disturbances that make him fail.

It's not that he can't do it. It can only be said that Chen mubai is too powerful!

The box office of four films is 8 billion, with an average of 2 billion. Let alone in China, even in the history of world film, there are no such strong people!

Gao Jin knows that Chen mubai is powerful and even chooses to avoid him, but he can't stand Chen mubai's initiative. What can he do?

This time, Infernal Affairs succeeded, and they failed again.

Now that you're an opponent, don't be merciful.

Gao Jin has come up with a new way to deal with Chen mubai. Anyway, it's good to have a little influence on Chen mubai.

"Is this OK..." the vice president hesitated.

"Do you have a better way?" Gao Jin asked rhetorically.

"Er..."

The vice president suddenly stopped talking. It really seemed that there was no other way.

"Then try it." The vice president thought.

Soon, a statement of apology from Starway entertainment came out.

"I'm sorry to take up your time and make a film of poor quality. We have all seen your comments. Next time, we will make positive corrections and try our best to make a film that you like."

"All the films we make are from the perspective of the public. We want to make works that are easy to understand. What is a film? Film is not only a culture of entertaining the public, but also a way of entertainment. Therefore, a film that can be understood and appreciated by everyone is a good film. Based on this, it is possible that the quality of the film is not well controlled, which leads to problems in the quality of the film. "

"The failure this time makes us reflect on ourselves, and we will make progress next time. Comparing us with Infernal Affairs, we are really inferior to each other. It's a very excellent film!"

"But this kind of excellent films have one thing in common, that is, they need the audience to spend a lot of time and energy to dig out the truth and information. This kind of film is partial to Literature and art, and has a specific audience. Director Chen mubai is very suitable for directing this kind of film, while we mainly make commercial films, which is also the mainstream of the current film market. These are two styles, We will try our best to tell a good story. After all, there is only one outstanding director like Chen mubai. We will try our best to make satisfactory works in the future! "

Once the apology statement of Starway entertainment came out, it was quickly searched.

After all, few film makers will apologize generously, which shows that they admit that they can't.

On the other hand, this statement fully describes the excellence of Infernal Affairs and affirms Chen mubai's ability.

You know, Xingcheng and Chen mubai are enemies!

Starway entertainment is really not kind-hearted. First of all, they keep a low profile and compliment Chen mubai, saying that his movies are very good. Unfortunately, they need to use their brains to see them. They are not suitable for all audiences. Only those who like to watch this kind of movies or prefer literature and art like to watch them.

Throughout the "buried alive", "Crazy Stone" and other films, in fact, they are not the kind of films that the public will like. We need to pay attention to them, or we won't understand them.

On the contrary, young people like it, and middle-aged people don't necessarily understand it or like it.

Many people just want to relax in the movies, but Chen mubai's movies don't have this effect.

Even "Crazy Stone" is not popular because of its regional culture (dialect).

In fact, the middle-aged, old and young people do not quite understand Chen mubai's films. His audience is mostly teenagers and a small number of middle-aged people.

Starway entertainment means that when they make commercial films, what they want is for everyone to understand and not engage in literature and art. What they want is for everyone to enjoy watching movies.

Although, praised Chen mubai, but also specifically said that good movies are popular, easy to understand.

Chen mubai's films have a good box office and high score, but the public seems too tired and not the mainstream. His success depends on his own ability, not all the credit of the film.

In fact, this is not wrong. If Infernal Affairs is produced by other companies, I'm afraid the box office performance is not so high, including buried alive.

Most of the time, people come to see this film because of Chen mubai, and then they have a good reputation and high quality, which attracts a lot of people.

If you change to someone else, I'm afraid that the initial impact will not be so great, even if the word of mouth and quality remain unchanged, you may not be able to get such a high box office.

The box office is bound to be high, but it won't be so high. Starway has changed its concept here, as if the film would fail if it were replaced by someone else.

Most of the films are commercial films. Like other entertainment companies, they make this kind of films.

Commercial films have box office, but artistic films are hard to win awards.

None of the films on the box office charts are literary films, which also shows a truth that only those that the public like can make money, and literary films are just the carnival of the minority.

Chen mubai can still get such a high box office when he makes a movie which is partial to Literature and art. Only he himself, no one else.

The fact is that Chen mubai's high box office is based on his wide influence, high literary score and good reputation. If it is a pure commercial film, he may not be able to do it.

After all, commercial film and art film are two styles. Chen mubai can't make commercial films that are easy to understand.

He can only make elegant works, but not vulgar ones.

This statement is to praise and belittle Chen mubai, saying that he can only rely on this type of film to get the box office, and can not make orthodox commercial films.

There's no way for Starway entertainment. Chen mubai is excellent in all aspects, and the quality of the film can't be belittled. He can only pick the bone in the egg and find out the "flaw".

It's the only weakness they can find to launch an attack.

However, in the eyes of the public, we certainly can not see this meaning. What we see is that Xingcheng apologizes and admits that it is not as good as Chen mubai.

Soon, a group of people left a message under the apology.

"The attitude of Starway entertainment is quite correct. I hope it will change next time."

"It's true that I just want to relax and be happy when I watch movies. I'm tired when I watch Chen mubai's movies, so I don't like to watch them. I've seen one and never watched it again."

"That's right. Chen mubai needs to concentrate on every movie, otherwise it's really hard to understand."

"It seems that Chen mubai has never made a film that is easy to understand. This kind of commercial film is the mainstream. The public can watch it..."

"I took my father to see crazy stone before. He went to bed and said he couldn't understand them. He didn't know the words and didn't read the subtitles..."

"I hope Chen mubai can make a movie that everyone can watch, instead of making every movie so profound. For people with simple minds like us, the viewing experience is not good."

This is the strategy of Starway entertainment. It wants to force Chen mubai to challenge commercial films, because there are still differences between commercial films and art films, so it is difficult to balance them.

If Chen mubai challenges commercial films, he is likely to get a high box office, but the film's score is not high, then his reputation of high-quality products is gone, which has a certain impact on his reputation.

If you don't shoot, you will expose your shortcomings. After all, netizens have expressed similar ideas.
