Rebirth of the Evil Life

For Joseph. Yes, that commentator of yours is too vicious. According to my clearest data, "Forest Cinema Screening Room. It is a must-have theater, and the attendance rate is not enough. Haha, after a few more fierce attacks, "Hero" That's it! Lin Feng invested 100 million US dollars, he is really brave!" Ibuka laughed sarcastically.

Joseph sighed with emotion. If Fei Movie invests 100 million US dollars, it is just ordinary and ordinary. But investing in a TV series is a bit too exaggerated. It can be said that "Twentieth Century Fox" even asked itself that it did not have the courage. However, Lin Feng actually had such courage and courage. Although he was a competitor and an enemy, Joseph still admired him. Of course, this is also stupid behavior!

At present, the attendance rate of "Hero" reruns is less than half. As long as their "fire" is more intense, the attendance rate of "Hero" in the future can be imagined!

"Ibuka Izuka, please cooperate with me. Let's give Heroes another fatal blow and make its investment of 100 million US dollars completely ruined." Joseph snorted.

Since Lin Feng wants to hold the "Lin Feng Film Art Festival", there must be a large number of films to support this film festival. Now, major film companies in the United States, under the constraints of the "Oscar Alliance", dare not express their support for participating in the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival". Therefore, if Lin Feng does not want to become a joke, he must invest heavily in filming himself. The film comes to its own film festival. When the time comes, Lin Feng shoots one film and they destroy another. As long as a few more films are ruined, Lam Feng Film Company's reputation will be completely ruined. At that time, if Lin Feng did not want his film and art festival to become a joke, he would have to continue investing.

Continue to invest, tens of millions per movie, and dozens of movies a year, which is not even billions of dollars. He wanted to see how much financial resources Lin Feng had to make movies. snort. How much money do you have, I will let you pay as much as you want! Ibuka smiled evilly. As long as he can defeat Sony, his biggest enemy, his position as president of Sony is certain.

However, just as the two were preparing to continue to intensify their "artillery fire" attack, their phones kept ringing.

"Mr. Joseph, those film critics of yours have done a lot of harm to our newspaper!" As soon as the editor-in-chief of USA Today got on the phone, he started pouring out his complaints.

"What's wrong?" Joseph was stunned.

"Alas, Joseph, regarding the comments about "Hero" published by your company, a large number of viewers have now called to complain, saying that we did not comment on "Hero" fairly, but only blindly smeared "Hero", and there was no objective and fair approach. Commenting on "Heroes", they also said that we misled the audience. These audiences asked us to withdraw those false apologies and publicly apologize." The editor-in-chief of USA Today looked bitter.

Joseph heard this and sneered.

“Why should we care about what these viewers say.

They were hot-headed and called because they were deceived by Lin Feng and others. Perhaps these people were arranged by Lin Feng with money. As a media person, you must have the backbone of absolute freedom of press and cannot be compromised by any words or events. "Joseph gave a long speech.

"Mr. Joseph, this is certainly true. But these viewers keep calling and even threaten to refuse to buy our newspapers if the relevant comments are not withdrawn. If these things are known to the boss, we have no way to explain." The editor is very upset.

joseph wrinkles have

"In this way, next time we buy more advertising space from your newspaper, you will have a way to explain it to the boss!" Joseph snorted in his heart. Talking about the audience complaining and boycotting the newspaper, we are not just trying to take the opportunity to knock some bamboo sticks. However, Joseph had already prepared for this, so he didn't care. Knock some bamboo poles, just knock some bamboo poles! As long as Lin Feng can be exposed to the film industry, this loss is completely bearable.

"Okay, okay, let's do that!" The editor-in-chief of USA Today thought for a while and reluctantly agreed.

"However, if the audience really boycotts the newspaper, Mr. Joseph, no matter how much advertising space you buy, it will be useless." The editor-in-chief of USA Today hung up the phone after saying this.

Joseph Cold. One more shout. Unexpectedly, this Lin Feng was so shameless and wanted to use the audience to put pressure on them to stop these comments. However, this childish method of trying to disrupt their offensive is a delusion.

But what surprised Joseph was that the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post and many other well-known American newspapers called him one after another. Without exception, they all complained about the collective protests of the audience. , complaining that viewers are threatening to boycott newspapers to blackmail them into withdrawing these comments. In this regard, Joseph also used to increase his advertising investment without exception.

After dozens of phone calls, Joseph breathed a sigh of relief. I finally had to deal with these editors, but this Lin Feng was so powerful that he was able to mobilize so many viewers to call and blackmail dozens of newspapers across the United States.

Okay, Lin Feng, you are awesome! Not enough for me to see how much money you have to control these so-called "viewers" to call and complain. Joseph sneered. In the United States, nothing is expensive except labor. He didn't believe how long Lin Feng could last by asking tens of thousands of viewers to call and complain. According to the market price, the labor cost for such a day's phone calls would be at least four US dollars a day. Ten thousand people are old. Ten thousand U.S. dollars. Just like Lin Fengdong's scale. To be able to harass almost all mainstream newspapers in the United States, it would take at least more than 100,000 people to achieve this effect, and maybe more. That’s tens of millions of dollars a day.

You, Lin Feng, are rich, but I don’t know how much money you can have! Joseph looked on coldly.

"By the way, Izumi, have you also received phone complaints from those editors?" Joseph asked.

"Yeah, but it's okay. These editors just want to earn more advertising fees." Ibuka sneered.

Joseph nodded. These editors said that the audience should boycott the newspaper. Isn't this a joke? This has never happened. Moreover, there is another point. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that these viewers are Lin Fengdong, otherwise how could there be so many viewers calling to complain.

"Okay, well, Izumi, this time we will unite the power of the entire American film company to drive Lin Feng out of the film industry completely." Joseph said.

Abandoning Fuka Izuki nodded.

Immediately after the "Oscar Alliance" promised more advertising, major newspapers across the United States once again intensified their criticism of "Heroes"!

"Lin, it seems that your little method of inciting curses and living curses is not good!" Ellison looked at the comments about Guan Qian "" that were all over the newspaper, with a depressed look on his face. He, Ellison, has never been so unfairly accused, and he actually How could he feel embarrassed to be scolded like this?

"Haha, don't worry, Ellison. The more fierce they criticize, the more intense the audience's reaction will be as long as "Heroes" is good enough. It's just a matter of time!" Lin Feng said easily.

Ellison thought for a moment and nodded. However, this is the first time for Ellison to leave things to others and out of his control. It feels very awkward!

You know, with the continuous criticism from major newspapers across the United States, those viewers who watched "Heroes" went home and called to complain about the false reviews of major newspapers. Although they spread the word by word of mouth and called friends, let them know I went to see "Hero", but in the face of the overwhelming criticism about "Hero", most viewers still shun "Hero". Therefore, for three consecutive days, the attendance rate of "Hero" was extremely dismal, although every time After the screening, the audience cheered and applause continued in the cinema, but it did not help the actual box office revenue. The only gratifying thing is that the sales of the package have reached an unprecedented level.

"By the way, Lin, I feel very strange. Why are there no comments about "Heroes" on the Internet? It seems that a force has deliberately blocked them!" Ellison suddenly said.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Ellison, you finally showed up!" Lin Feng smiled and explained that there were no comments about "Heroes" on the Internet.

It turns out that all this was ordered by Lin Feng and "Baidu Yahoo" deliberately blocked comments about "Heroes" using the search power of "Baidu Yahoo". Therefore, whether they were positive comments or negative comments, all were blocked. "Baidu and Yahoo" are all blocked. Lin Feng did this just to build up momentum. For a movie to have poor reviews, it really affected attendance. But if the reviews are the voice of criticism in the market, then it will attract the attention of some people and want to see how bad a movie that has been reviewed so poorly can be.

Is "Heroes" really bad? Obviously not! Not only is it not bad, it is actually quite outstanding. Then once the audience finally discovers this. After the fact. The stronger the counterattack will be. This is similar to the "slingshot theory" of the futures market. Lin Feng wants to take advantage of this opportunity to crush the "Oscar Alliance" in one fell swoop, thereby attacking and blocking his own company's public opinion. After all, Lin Feng cannot change the pressure of public opinion brought by these newspapers. Therefore, Lin Feng can only change something that can be changed by God, and that is the attitude of the audience.

"Right, then why". Can't search it on the Internet? . Ellison felt curious.

As for the "Bo Diao" search related comments about "Hero", Lin Feng could only say that I'm afraid this is "Hungry Diao Hong". He wanted to secretly help the "Oscar Alliance", so he took the opportunity to secretly trick himself. "It's a pity" and "Hungry" didn't know that instead of really teasing themselves, they actually helped themselves. Now Lin Feng just waits for the audience's anger to reach its peak.

A flood of negative comments! Every day after a episode of "Hero" is aired, the next day there are always negative reviews. All mainstream media in the United States criticized it, criticizing it for making too many jumps in the plot, poor character performances, and mediocre stunts. In short, it is not worth spending money to watch the TV series in the cinema!

On the contrary, those who watched "Heroes" thought that the plot was gripping and the character performances were on point. As for the stunts, although they are not top-notch, they are definitely better than most Hollywood movies. The flying scenes can definitely be compared to "Human". . The scenes of traveling through time and space are no worse than "Future Soldier", and the battles between superhuman beings are definitely no less than "Men". Such a movie can actually have a flying series. For everyone who has watched "Heroes" "For the audience, it is as addictive as a drug. As for it being a TV series, if there is a TV series that is better than most Hollywood movies, I would rather spend money to watch it in the cinema. Just the screen and the sound effects are worth it!

"Paul, go watch "Hero", it's really good! Really! I will never lie to you!" A viewer who watched "Hero" and was extremely excited immediately found his friend and recommended it to him.

""Hero", is that a movie rated as having no plot, no pictures, and no acting? And I heard that it is sold as a TV series as a movie. Is this kind of movie worth watching? Humph, as those comments said As long as we don't watch it, "Hero" will be shown on TV sooner or later. In this case, why should we watch it? Paul said with disdain.

"Oh my god, Paul, you're going to piss me off when you call this "Heroes" a three-nothing movie. You only have to go and see it to know how great this movie is." Hearing his best friend commenting on "Heroes" like this, this viewer was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"I won't waste this money

"Then I'll pay for it!"

"Forget it, I don't want to waste time!" "I, I, you will definitely regret it." The excited audience left in anger.

"Tsk, isn't it just a wasteful "Hero"? Is it worth being so excited?" Paul said disdainfully.

Scenes like this happened in many cities in the United States. Many friends became angry because of this and ignored each other for a long time, causing hundreds of thousands of pairs of friends to almost turn against each other. And this is another reason for the "Oscar Alliance" to criticize "Heroes".

A movie that is bad enough to make your friends turn against each other. It's best not to watch "Heroes".

"Lin, when are you going to wait until you fight back?" Ellison couldn't hold himself back.

Now "Hero" has been placed in the famous department, but the attendance rate is very miserable. "Hero" is now airing at night. Then, before the new one was played the next day, Dairy Farm was played again, and the venue for "Heroes" was full, almost all seats were occupied. But the attendance at subsequent replays was scant. What's even more ridiculous is that the "Heroes" package ticket sales have now sold a total of 10,000 sets, which is almost 10,000 seats in the "Forest Cinema Screening Hall." However, the remaining individual tickets have been sold for five games. In total, less than 40,000 copies were sold, and many of them were paid to watch the film for the second or third time.

This is a very strange phenomenon. Judging from the screening attendance, it is an excellent film.

However, judging from the average attendance, it is

Obituary, weeping makes more viewers unable to avoid it ※

"Wait until the last part!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a stern look. Now this. "Slingshot" has been pushed low enough that when the last part is played, it will be enough for it to rebound in full force. At that time, Lin Feng will want to see how the "Oscar Alliance" plans to suppress it.

"By the way, Ellison, how much box office revenue does "Hero" have in total now?" Lin Feng asked.

Ellison looked at the computer and looked helpless.

"So far, the total box office revenue of 'Heroes' is $2. Although the box office is good, it is a huge loss compared to your investment." Ellison said. According to the profit sharing of box office revenue between "Hero" and "Forest Cinema", in the old days when "Hero" was broadcast, "Forest Cinema" had a total revenue of tens of thousands of US dollars. After deducting costs, it was a small profit. . However, Lin Feng suffered a big loss.

"Don't worry, Ellison, I'm not worried about the box office revenue of 'Heroes' at all. Also, during this period, we can continue to acquire movie theaters." Lin Feng said.

"Continue the acquisition?" Ellison was shocked. At this time, he continued to make purchases. How many bears' hearts and leopards' gall did Lin Feng eat? He was so awesome.

"Haha, the acquisition during this period will not be "Oscar Alliance." Use evil hands to block it secretly. Currently, there are more than 10,000 movie screens in the United States. Our company currently owns more than 10,000 movie screens, occupying nearly a quarter of them. My goal is to occupy more than half. Of course, in the future, my cinemas will account for more than half of the global market. Lin Feng said proudly.

There are currently about 10,000 movie screens in the world

Ellison was shocked at first when he heard this, and then slapped his thigh.

"Lin, you want to play bigger this time. If you can occupy half of the screen, it's not that we are controlled by others, but they are controlled by us!" Ellison laughed.

If only the "Forest Cinema" really had more than half of the movie screens in the United States. Even if the "Oscar Alliance" wants to control them, it will be difficult. If they don't let Lin Feng's movie theaters show movies, then the movies he invests in may not be able to recover the box office. If half of the movie theaters don’t show movies, will Sony, Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox and other companies suffer?

Of course, they can create a movie and run it for a while, but don’t forget it. There are dozens of movie companies, large and small, across the United States. Do they only show movies from a few movie companies such as Sony Columbia Pictures, and not movies from other movie companies? Obviously, this is impossible. There is only one possibility at that time. These film companies that have made movies and have no place to show them will completely fall to Lin Feng's side.

At that time, it was time for Lin Feng to make a complete counterattack to counter the "Oscar Alliance" formed by "Sony Columbia Pictures".

"Lin, regarding funding? I'm afraid we have to inject capital again." Ellison said thoughtfully.

Currently, instead of investing the state B dollars. After the acquisition or construction of Wujia Cinema and its operation during this period, it was almost exhausted. If we want to acquire it again at this time, I am afraid we will have to continue investing. And this investment should be at least about 1 billion U.S. dollars. This is not just for fun, but a real entry into the film industry. With their current relationship with the American film industry, this is a huge gamble.

"Don't worry, Ellison, trust me. This decision will definitely be one of the wisest decisions in your life. Your money now will be returned a hundred times in the future!" Lin Feng said. Echison thought about it and nodded. ***, I made a bet!

Immediately, as "Heroes" continued to be played one after another, Ellison once again launched a whirlwind of acquisitions. All-American brew. Many movie theaters began to collapse one after another due to the acquisitions by Ellison and Lin Feng regardless of cost.

At first, Ibuka and Joseph didn't care about it. On the contrary, they helped Ellison complete the acquisition. But when Ellison owned the movie screen, it was too concave. After the block, when the acquisitions still continued, Joseph and Ibuka realized that something was wrong.

"Izuka Ibuka, I'm afraid things are not going well this time! Ellison and Lin Feng seem to be planning to play a big game this time." Joseph said with a worried look.

"Joseph, do you really think they have enough financial resources to continue the acquisition?" Ibuka said.

According to the remaining movie screens that Ellison currently owns, including other hardware investments, it is conservatively estimated that the investment has exceeded 100 million US dollars. If you want to continue investing, the cost will be greater.

And, more importantly, without the support of film sources, so many cinemas would only spend an astronomical amount of money on labor expenses every day. To maintain such a huge cost, even if Lin Feng and Ellison are among the top five super rich people in the world, they cannot support it.

"But I'm worried that after they acquire a certain amount in the future, they will be able to threaten us!" Joseph was extremely worried about this.

Ibuka laughed disdainfully.

"Joseph, don't worry. It doesn't matter whether their financial resources can support it. Even if they can support it, once there are no movies to show, so many cinemas will be left empty-handed. Of course, more importantly, the audience will not have movies. Look, we need to protest. Hum, when the time comes, we can make the gods put forward extremely demanding requirements and take the opportunity to recruit them. Hum, maybe, we just sit back and ignore it, and let Lin Feng finally give up. That way, haha, we can repurchase the cinema at a low price and completely drive Lin Feng and Ellison out of the film industry." Ibuka thought of the miserable scene in the future when Lin Feng left the film industry in disgrace, and Want to laugh.

Joseph thought for a while and felt that this seemed a bit risky. But there is no doubt that this is the best way to completely drive Lin Feng out of the film industry. And the so-called risk is actually because no one has such strong financial resources to acquire so many movie theaters.

Indeed, no one has the financial means. Even if Lin Feng and Ellison join forces, it won't be enough. But Lin Feng has friends.

"Li Zekai, Tang Jiacheng, Zheng Zhiheng, whether you are interested in investing in the film industry or not, you must help me this time!" Lin Feng said.

"Don't worry, Lin Feng, we will definitely help you this time." Li Zeqi and the three of them said in unison without any hesitation.
