China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 38 The disaster of pond fish

Objectively speaking, when he first saw the news, Chen Jingxing was a little panicked. Although he is already a well-known talented director, he has not really entered the film industry.

Overseas, it was all distributed online. Unexpectedly, it got into trouble before the first real theatrical film was completed.

Of course, it didn't take long for Chen Jingxing to calm down and have some ideas about the outline of the whole incident, and Zhang Jingyan's call from Huanshi.com provided him with the last piece of the puzzle.

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

There are already many marketing accounts on the Internet writing this, and even most of Luo Chen's fans have this view. The boss of Jianghe has tailor-made an award-winning project for Luo Chen, but Luo Chen dares to resist and blatantly disobey the holy will to take other pictures.

In a company movie, the boss gets angry and wants to teach the disobedient artist a lesson.

This kind of interpretation, which is quite Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry style, is easier for people to understand.

However, the rules and styles of the game in the mainland entertainment industry are completely different. Such dramatic dramas usually do not occur. The mainland entertainment industry may have contracts of prostitution on paper, but there are no artists who actually sell themselves. Even the five major studios

There is no patriarchal management ability for its artists, not to mention the Internet capital that is watching eagerly from the sidelines. The methods of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea cannot be used here.

Jianghe Culture suddenly turned into a Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment tycoon to do this, and its purpose was not Luochen, but completely for Huanshi.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 undermined the ability of large companies to control celebrities. Behind this trend is Internet capital.

of boost.

Most companies would turn a blind eye to a star's intention to cancel his agency contract and start his own business, and would even proactively cooperate and personally participate. The entry of Internet capital has pushed up the film and television bubble, and a second- and third-tier company

The initial valuation of a star's studio is tens of millions, and it can double in a year. Who can say no to something that can make money?

Once 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. Just like a hole appears in a seemingly solid embankment, the flood can destroy the entire line of defense.

.

Not to mention that the message revealed in Zhang Jingyan’s phone call clearly indicated that Huanshi.com could not give in.

In addition, Xu Wenshen believes that this may be a tentative attack by traditional studios on Huanshi.com to produce and distribute theatrical movies again.

"Should we consider changing actors?"

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

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 so that online platforms like Fantasy World can have it in their hands.

Spending a lot of money but not being able to succeed in the market.

Moreover, he had just gently persuaded Luo Chen, who came to apologize, that no matter what, the crew must not be in chaos or engage in internal strife at this time.

Luo Chen: "Now that I've apologized, Director Chen's attitude is very good and he told me to feel at ease while filming and not to think blindly."

Xu Wenshen stood up, locked the door, and asked in a low voice. The actor change he was talking about obviously meant Luo Chen.

Chen Jingxing shook his head: "Impossible, Huanshi.com cannot give in."

Jiangho Culture threatened and demanded that the relevant parties stop the infringement, believing that the contracted artist Luo Chen's illegal cooperation with the two companies without authorization had caused serious consequences and huge losses to him. That is, Fantasy World and DreamWorks should stop Luo Chen's related performing arts activities.

.

Finishing the filming as soon as possible is the first priority. He doesn't want to suffer in the ice and snow anymore.

At the beginning, he was also a little annoyed with Luochen and Huanshi.com. Why did he have to set up a studio at this time? Huanshi.com also invested 40% of the shares? He also sent press releases everywhere, so he couldn't wait for the film to be completed and distributed.

Are you hooking up again?

I have to say that Huanshi.com has done too many things like this in the past few years and is a bit confident.

Fortunately, National Film and Beijing Film are state-owned enterprises, but Jangho, Tianrun and United Cinemas are private capital. In the future landscape of the film industry shaped by Internet capital, whether they have a place, or whether they can maintain their current position, is

No one can see clearly now.

It may not really mean going to court with Huanshi.com. Chen Jingxing judged that this is most likely a threat from Jianghe Culture to Huanshi.com. Maybe the two parties need to exchange some interests in exchange for Jianghe Culture to settle the matter.

While Chen Jingxing and Xu Wenshen were discussing how to deal with this wave of attacks from Jianghe Culture, Luo Chen downstairs was also talking on the phone in his room.

But the most basic reason told him that there was no way he could easily get off the ship of Huanshi.com. As soon as Jianghe Culture’s 10,000-word article was published, no matter whether Chen Jingxing liked it or not, he was already on the same side as Huanshi.com and Luo Chen.

At this time, he must not give in or even rebel.

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

Agent: "Have you finished apologizing to Director Chen?"

It seems that this is a matter where both parties benefit from cooperation, but both parties lose if they break up.

Chen Jingxing curled his lips: "Not necessarily. Maybe there will be a wave of hype by then. Wouldn't it be great if people all over the country know about "Fatal Identity"?"

Agent: "That's good. Don't worry. Mr. Zhao of Huanshi.com just called me. It's nothing major and it won't have much impact."

There are even many companies that take the initiative to cancel artist management contracts, promote their artists to set up studios, attract Internet capital to inject capital and hype, and get a share of the pie themselves.

Because Huanshi.com is so big, Internet capital is scary.

However, Jiangho Culture chose to break up with its star artists, and the target of the attack was Huanshi.com, which encouraged Luochen to set up a studio. If Jianghe Culture initiated a lawsuit, although it may not win the case, it would also be against Huanshi.com for what it wants to do next.

Leading the distribution of films adversely affects.

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

Since the 150 million mythical blockbuster hit the market, Huanshi.com and other major video platforms have been honest for a while and turned into film and television investors who squandered money everywhere. After two years of dormancy, Huanshi.com began to enter the market again.

In the field of film production and distribution, although there are only two small-investment movies, this move is likely to arouse the vigilance of traditional studios.

Therefore, Luo Chen and "Fatal Identity" are equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the gun, becoming the tool men of Jianghe Culture and Fantasy World.

Luo Chen nodded. It was not like he had not experienced contract termination turmoil. As long as Huanshi.com stood firm, even if Jiangho Culture initiated a lawsuit, it would not be able to win. However, he was still worried: "I saw Jianghe's Zhang Chenming said online that he might sue me."

A blocking order?”

This line of defense cannot 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 flood of Internet capital will

What it brings to the film industry, what it can shape this industry into, the only way to make them feel safe is to maintain the status quo.

Agent: "Aren't you usually very smart? Are you frightened by Tian Shenxuan now? You still have a blocking order. He thought it was more than ten years ago? Now we are in the mobile Internet era, and you still have a blocking order?

He thinks he is the film bureau?"

Luo Chen let out a long breath: "Sister Yang, you are my Dinghai Shenzhen. I was really a little frightened just now."

What the so-called banning order blocks is the artist's exposure. If we put it before the Internet era, Jianghe Culture would indeed have the capital to issue a banning order based on its status in the world.

Things are completely different in the Internet era. The Internet has become the main channel for exposure. Only online blocking is called blocking. Unless official departments make a statement or online platforms join forces to block, it is called real blocking. If an offline company calls for blocking, then there is only

Ridiculous.

Not to mention that Luochen is backed by the largest Internet video platform. Jianghe actually has no real effective threat. This is also the embarrassing situation that most traditional film and television companies and studios face when facing "rebellious" celebrity artists. They really don't have any.

Capital carries out patriarchal management of celebrity artists.
