I have to teach the world a lesson

Chapter 384 Harvesting Capital (Part 1)

“We will never brag that our chairman this year is Avery Tashi, nor will I brag that one of our judges is Leon, the chairman of this year’s [Cannes International Film Festival], let alone our [Berlin International Film Festival] Mr. Davis of the Festival is proud to join us at the Southern California International Film Awards..."

When Zhang Sheng finished announcing this sentence...

The entire Chinese film industry suddenly became heated.

Some people jumped out and scolded Zhang Sheng for "pretending to be cool" and making all those messy and vain stunts to fool people, while some people were frantically looking for channels to establish contact with Zhang Sheng's [NC Entertainment], even relying on the relationship with the security guard at the door. I hope to see Zhang Sheng and have a good chat. Some people even rushed to the company like crazy with money, clamoring to cooperate with [NC Entertainment]...

[NC Entertainment] The company’s phone calls have been buzzing!

When the operator received the call at three in the morning, she could still hear the phone ringing crazily, which made her heart suddenly jump when she saw the phone!

This year’s [Southern California International Film Awards] was several times more lively than last year.

Especially for the film and brand circles, it is more like seeing a piece of plump fresh meat, and countless people want to take a bite and tear off a piece of meat.

…………………………

The official website of the [Southern California International Film Awards] receives an influx of countless users every day, and the official had to spend money to expand the server capacity, so that the official website of the [Southern California International Film Awards] can operate normally.

but……

Information about Gao Hui's movie "Spy" is still in "under review" status.

Gao Hui tried to contact Zhang Sheng through connections.

but……

Fail to contact.

In fact...

China's film market is huge, and there are countless Chinese film practitioners.

If analyzed rationally, the gimmick of "Bi Feiyu became famous in one battle and became an international director" is actually a kind of survivor bias.

More of a group of ordinary directors who are busy but ultimately achieve nothing.

But knowing this, countless people feel that they are survivors like Bi Feiyu.

They do not think that the reason why their works have gone silent is because their works do not cater to the market, nor do they think that their works are bad.

They just feel like they lack a platform.

It lacks a channel to promote itself, lacks a platform to showcase the essence of its films, and lacks a platform to be seen by internationally renowned directors and famous judges!

Gao Hui is such a person!

Two days have passed.

His movie "Spy" was finally "reviewed" and passed.

Ranked 104th…

incredible!

In just a few days, more than 100 Chinese films have signed up for the [Southern California International Film Awards]...

He watched this movie...

Most of these movies are movies that I have never heard of, or can’t even search for...

The directors of these films…

All right!

About 70% of the directors are students making films.

There are short films, documentaries, and movies that look like movies...

He looked at it briefly.

Most of the promotional videos were so messed up that it was hard to believe how a movie like this could be shortlisted for the Southern California International Film Awards.

Isn't this nonsense?

certainly……

The next 30% or more of the movie can be considered a movie in the true sense.

During the same period, there were Bi Feiyu's "Seven Days to Die", "Racing", "Wing Chun", as well as the bad movies "Future Police", "Family Happiness 2010"...

After Gao Hui took a serious look, he realized that these films were not shortlisted for the [Southern California International Film Awards], but films that had passed the preliminary review.

He saw the following line of text.

[The participating films that pass the first review will enter the public voting channel, and the top 50 films in the public voting channel can participate in the official second review. Note: China has twenty nominees for the [Southern California International Film Awards]...]

Gao Hui frowned.

When I saw this line of words, I wanted to scold my mother for a while!

Everyone in the Chinese film industry now knows that the so-called [Southern California International Film Awards] is an award organized by Zhang Sheng and Brazil.

China’s twenty shortlisted seats?

No, no, no, you don’t really think that Oscar-winning blockbusters like “Dreamland” and “Avatar” will have people specially coming to attend your award ceremony, right?

What a joke!

Gao Hui's uncle, Gao Yuan, has clearly told him that this is a game made by Zhang Sheng, and this game is to harvest advertisers and some filmmakers.

Gao Hui naturally understands all this!

but……

He's still staring at the voting system.

[Sign up as a new member to get a ticket, browse the [Southern California International Film Awards] partner brand website, and you can get another free ticket, and consume any brand product, you can get another vote! 】

He frowned.

See brand partners below.

The first item on my list is [Mi Nuo Group Purchase]...

He took another look at the movie rankings.

Then……

He found that in the half-month-long list ranking, someone had already started to rank!

The top spot on the list is actually not Zhang Sheng's own movie "Seven Days to Kill", but "Detective S", which was just released during the National Day but suffered a poor box office under the pressure of "1949" and "Dreamland" and was on the verge of being dropped.

It only takes half a day for the ranking list to open...

This "Detective S" has received more than 10,000 votes!

He continued browsing...

The top ten movies include "Racing", "Wing Chun", "Future SWAT"...

…………………………

The more than 100 million advertising dollars spent on Zhang Sheng's side are well worth it.

No one would have thought...

The [Southern California International Film Awards] actually has such a large amount of traffic.

In half a day, nearly 200,000 orders were added to [Minuo Group Buying].

Even though these order volumes are cheap…

Basically, they cost no more than five yuan for socks, underwear, and some small desserts. The maximum total increase amount is less than one million.

Although there is a lot of moisture in these orders, many of them are newly registered accounts with the same IP, commonly known as "brush orders"...

However, the order quantity of 200,000 can be displayed on the performance poster of [Minuo Group Buying], which is steadily beating [Group Buying], and even has a vague catch-up with websites like [Groupon] in terms of order volume. The momentum!

Li Yanhong had people publish the report on the homepage of [Minuo Group Buying], and announced on Weibo that today [Minuo Group Buying] had a new breakthrough in performance!

After doing this...

She looked at the website of the [Southern California International Film Awards] again.

That "Detective S" movie sold out tickets like crazy...

In just a few hours, thousands of votes have been received!

She saw Ke Zhanyi's "Future SWAT"...

It has been pushed out of the top ten by other movies.

but……

The dispute over the movie has nothing to do with her. At this moment, in a sense, she is no longer the agent of [Shengshi Entertainment].

She shook her head.

Just when she was about to turn off the computer and squint her eyes to rest, she suddenly saw that [Minuo Group Buying], which originally occupied the first place, was suddenly pushed to the second place by [Group Buying].

She was stunned!

Why are the advertisements for [Group Buying] also posted?

She refreshed the page.

She saw that her [Mi Nuo Group Buying] occupied the first place, but [Group Buying] occupied the second place...

She frowned.

She refreshed it several times in a row and found that although [Minuo Group Buying] had a slightly higher priority than [Group Buying], and the probability of advertising was always the first, [Group Buying] was ultimately responsible for following [Minuo Group Buying]. A rival role!

When she saw this scene, she immediately called Zhang Sheng.

Unfortunately!

No one answered Zhang Sheng's call.

I called several times in a row, but it still said the phone was not in the service area.

Li Yanhong finally had no choice but to call Shen Xiaoxi, the person in charge of [NC Entertainment].

At first, Shen Xiaoxi's phone was always busy, and she called for half an hour. After finally getting through, Li Yanhong took a deep breath: "Why does your [Southern California International Film Awards] have [group buying]? "

"Ah...Hello, Sister Hong. Mr. Chen, the commercial representative of [Group Buying], reached a brand strategic agreement with us in the morning..."

"No! The strategic agreement I signed with you, Mr. Zhang, was for our [Minuo Group Purchase]!"

"Sister Hong, I've read the agreement. It only mentions strategic cooperation, but it doesn't say that we can't have [strategic cooperation] with other brands?"

"Where is your Mr. Zhang? I want to talk to your Mr. Zhang..."

"Mr. Zhang is not in the company..."

"Then where did he go?"

"Um... In short, Mr. Zhang is not in the company, nor in China. You can't find Mr. Zhang during this period of time. [NC Entertainment]'s current business is all my responsibility. If you have any questions, you can contact me." Let me chat..."

"Does Mr. Zhang know about this?"

"Sister Hong, before Mr. Zhang left, I was responsible for everything. When Mr. Zhang is away, I have absolute control over [NC Entertainment]..."

"Mr. Zhang doesn't know?"

"..."

On the other end of the phone.

Shen Xiaoxi suddenly became tough.

Following Li Yanhong, she continued to emphasize her responsibility for [NC Entertainment].

Li Yanhong frowned deeper and deeper, and finally hung up the phone.

this moment!

She felt that Shen Xiaoxi had directly jumped over Zhang Sheng and helped Zhang Sheng make the decision!

Although the [Southern California International Film Awards] looks lively, it is not big after all. If Shen Xiaoxi is responsible for all the next series of projects related to [NC Entertainment], then...

Be bad!

night.

Deep.

Another three hours passed.

When Li Yanhong logged into the website again, she found that [Southern California International Film Awards] had accepted another advertisement for a group buying website called [Handhand.com]...

This ad ranked third...

What the hell is this guy doing to cut advertising fees?

"Mr. Li's supper is here!"

"Just put it here."

"If it's convenient, could you give us a good review?"

"Oh, okay, what's your comment?"

"Come on [Bird's Nest] and give me a star rating..."

"good!"

While Li Yanhong was deep in thought, she heard the voices of assistants and delivery people outside.

After the takeout was brought in, Li Yanhong looked at the delivery box from [Bird's Nest Ji Delivery].

Suddenly I realized something!

etc!
