Chapter 383 Public Opinion Reversal
The news on the Internet is easy to calm down, because netizens are always forgetful. No matter how popular a news event is, when a new hot news appears, the previous one will naturally be overshadowed.
If there is no news for the time being, you can even "make" one.
The media is also easy to solve, because there are group companies or supervisors.
Only the Film Bureau is not easy to deal with.
As the saying goes, if the people don't report, the officials won't investigate. In fact, some leaders think that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures have too large a share in the Chinese-language film market, which is not a good thing.
But the rest of the companies may not be able to be supported by favorable policies, so they just turn a blind eye.
After all, there are precedents. For example, in the field of animation, the country invested a lot of money, but ended up making a bunch of garbage animations that cheated subsidies.
But this time is different. There are really film companies reporting that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures are monopolizing. The three most popular periods in the mainland market, Spring Festival, summer vacation, and New Year's Day, are occupied by films produced by Jiang Heng and other companies under his name, leaving no way out for others!
The Film Bureau also felt that it was difficult to deal with it. After all, the current Chinese-language film market is all supported by Jiang Heng.
Imagine if Jiang Heng left for Hollywood, and if iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Video and Bona Films, which he controlled, did not make a film for a year, the box office scale of the entire Chinese-language film market would plummet!
Even if he was a leader, he could not bear such consequences!
After all, a small amount of negative growth in the data could be more or less covered up.
If the knife hit the thigh, it would be unacceptable.
Therefore, a talk was definitely to be held, but the people who were found were Du Huan and Yu Dong.
What was to be investigated was the suspected "monopoly" of iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Video and Bona Films.
Jiang Heng flew to the United States at the "suggestion" of his friends.
The reason was also very sufficient. "Under One Person" was about to be released worldwide, and Jiang Heng was going there to promote it.
But in the next few days, the wind direction in the entertainment industry changed.
First, Yu Dong announced that he would launch a plan for Bonna Pictures to go public in the United States, and planned to use five years to build Bonna Pictures into an international film and television investment and production company.
Later, Du Huan also announced on behalf of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures that he would increase overseas investment and lead Chinese-language films to go global.
After that, he led a team to Thailand to discuss the film and television city investment plan with the local tourism bureau.
Because of the hot release of "Lost in Thailand", the popularity of Thailand tours has rapidly increased in China.
Thailand is happy to see this happen.
The local government received Du Huan and his party with a very high standard and was very sincere in discussing investment projects.
Du Huan also talked seriously, because Jiang Heng once told him that many films that are not suitable for filming in China can be OK if the story background is changed to Thailand.
This time he came to investigate and found that there is really a lot of room for development here.
Anyway, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures have a lot of money in their accounts, so they buy, buy, buy, invest, invest!
The news that Du Huan invested in Thailand in a straightforward and real money was passed back to China, and the wind direction was reversed instantly.
The media that previously criticized Jiang Heng for monopolizing now say that Jiang Heng should increase investment in the mainland market.
The executives of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures were amused and confused. You said we were monopolizing the entire industry chain before!
Now we want to go overseas, but you don’t let us!
However, these news are not the most shocking to the audience.
It was not until iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures announced that Jiang Heng would miss the premiere of "Under One Person" held in Beijing this year that it instantly triggered heated discussions on the Internet!
Director Jiang Heng will miss his premiere. What a big thing has happened. It feels incredible!
But in fact, this is not that rare.
Zhang Yimou was absent from the premiere of "Curse of the Golden Flower" in Beijing that year because he was directing the opera "Qin Shi Huang" in the United States at the time and could not come back.
But Jiang Heng is different this time. Since he took "The Matrix" to the north, in more than ten years, even if he occasionally went to Shanghai to premiere a new film, he was present.
At such a critical moment, Jiang Heng was absent from the premiere of his new film. The news was somewhat shocking.
Later, Hollywood media reported that Jiang Heng was in the United States to discuss cooperation for a new film, which was said to be a science fiction war film about the earth civilization fighting against alien invaders.
Several major Hollywood companies attach great importance to Jiang Heng's directing ability in the "science fiction war" theme, calling him the real "world's first person" in this field.
In other genres such as mythology, mecha, and monsters, Jiang Heng's advantage over other directors is not so obvious.
For mecha, the "Transformers" series is getting better, while the "Pacific Rim" series is a bit weak.
Hollywood is really optimistic about this cooperation. Several companies led by Sony Pictures jointly lobbied and expressed their willingness to invest 500 million US dollars. Jiang Heng will have a share of the box office, and can get help from the military when filming. How many advanced weapons can be shown and displayed in the film, etc.
Jiang Heng was really tempted, and when the media reported the relevant news in China, public opinion exploded instantly.
The entire Internet was full of voices "condemning" several domestic private film companies, saying that they were not good at making films and were the best at internal fighting.
Unable to compete at the box office, they resorted to the trick of "reporting" and forced Jiang Heng to leave Hollywood!
Some people even posted so-called insider information online, saying that the reporter was so-and-so, and those who were named were so scared that they publicly testified in front of the media.
Public opinion has completely reversed. "China Film Report" published a long article, detailing Jiang Heng's pioneering initiatives and great contributions to Chinese-language films in recent years.
Other media have also published articles praising Jiang Heng. As for the Internet, there are naturally voices calling for Jiang Heng to return.
Seeing this, Jiang Heng hurriedly posted a dynamic on Weibo, saying that he went to the United States this time just to promote "Under One Person".
The so-called new film project negotiation was also discussed from the perspective of "China-US co-production", and he would not leave Hollywood.
Whether now or in the future, he will focus on the Chinese film market... .
After the Weibo dynamic was released, it quickly topped the hot search list, and the number of views, likes, and replies soared sharply.
These scenes of reality really scared the bosses and directors of several mainland film companies.
I know that Jiang Heng is popular and influential, but I never thought it could be so big!
Fortunately, the report was not leaked, otherwise if the audience boycotted it, they could close down and stop mixing in this circle. It's too scary!
There is no need to say anything. Let's get along well with Jiang Heng in the future and show your support whenever possible.
Jiang Heng can't come back for the upcoming premiere of "Under One Person" in Beijing, right? He should go and show his support even more!
So more than a week before the Spring Festival, on the day of the premiere of "Under One Person", the bosses and contracted directors of many Chinese-language private film companies came to the scene, and it was very lively.
