The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 192 Even if you die, you must dominate your own death (4K)

"Damn it turns out that rumors are not just rumors!"

After Wang Wei and his friends returned to the company, they immediately exclaimed the news that Huashi had revealed openly and secretly, which immediately triggered Zhou Lin's exclamation.

"Rumor? What rumor?"

Wang Wei and others were a little confused.

"Actually, it's not a rumor, that's it. Now many people outside call Dunhuang the sixth largest film company in Huayu, and some people are even betting that we will squeeze out which giant we will first..."

By the way, Zhou Lin is regarded as a strong competitor in the next Tianma Awards for Best Photography because of his movie "The Silence of the Lambs". He has become more popular in the circle and his "scared beauty" scope has become wider.

This brought another impact - this guy is almost the most well-informed person in Dunhuang. He explained all kinds of rumors about Dunhuang outside in one breath.

You should know that in the Chinese entertainment industry, secrets and rumors are like inseparable light and shadow, and many facts will be presented in the form of rumors. But the most difficult part is that you will never know what truths are hidden behind those rumors.

Sometimes the more reasonable the answer is, the less credible the answer is. Instead, the most thrilling rumors are finally proven to be true, but sometimes the facts are exactly the opposite.

The worst guess has been proved from several aspects, and Lao Wang is both surprised and... happy.

Lao Wang thought about it and shook his head, "Maintaining independence is the last stubbornness of Dunhuang, and this is unreasonable."

"Shocking" is easy to understand, and "happy" is because it proves that he finally led Dunhuang to his prosperous period - after all, if Dunhuang is covered in mud, the five major players will definitely not be too lazy to take a look.

Old Xu stopped talking when he heard this.

Dunhuang now doesn’t know whether it can be divided into five major “encirclement and suppression” by "sharing investment rights".

Old Xu glanced at Wang Wei and thought to himself: Even if the five major players encircle and suppress it again this time, the trick of poaching people will be basically useless.

At least, they have seen many things in the circle that should be a win-win situation, but there is no winner in the end.

There was no problem with this, because after all, Dunhuang made a lot of money in several consecutive films. Even if the money was slowly recovered, it could support several projects of tens of millions of levels at the same time.

Shen Zhenyi immediately understood what Wang Wei meant.

If Wang Wei sits in the five major positions, he will find that there is a "sixth major" behind him every day, and he will feel that it is too dazzling.

The five majors have already reached a certain consensus on limiting Dunhuang.

In the era of being suppressed by the five major joint efforts, Dunhuang has produced blockbuster films, but because of the narrow publicity channels, even if it makes money, the income will not be rich. This also leads to Dunhuang lacking sufficient financial and material resources to create a certain number of blockbuster IPs... Finally, unless each work performs well, once there are major mistakes or continue to be depressed, it will immediately face a financial crisis.

Alas, changes are always faster than plans.

Although Dunhuang has had a perverted existence like Wang Wei, it has never failed, and even made a lot of money from each department.

"First of all, of course, is the most direct and effective way. Whether it is to exchange stocks or spend money, as long as you turn your opponent into your own people, that is, you and I and everyone."

No wonder there are many rumors in the circle - if Dunhuang is allowed to continue to advance wildly, who dares to say that it will not squeeze anyone among the top five?

The other people looked at each other, but had to admit that Wang Wei's words made sense.

The most glorious time is often the most dangerous time, and the ancients did not deceive me.

——Whether people or the world are often not so reasonable.

"It's almost the same. The five major suppression forces have been like these moves back and forth, without any new ideas." Xu Daoxing shook his head.

Once new powerful challengers appear, they will jointly suppress them.

If I had a trace of luck before, I can basically be sure now-

——I originally thought that I would develop vulgarly first, and when the Internet era came in full swing, Dunhuang staged a gorgeous "Thirty Years of Hedong, Thirty Years of Hexi"...

Let’s put it this way, it depends on the most intuitive box office revenue share - the number of movies produced in Dunhuang this year is less than one-third of any of the top five film companies, but its box office revenue exceeds that of three of the top five film companies.

However, for the people of Dunhuang, Huashi's unusual actions, combined with some "rumors" in the circle, are largely one step closer to the truth.

Just like a major Eastern power in another time and space, in the eyes of Western countries, the threat lies not in what she did and did not do, but in fact, her existence is wrong.

However, if he doesn't eat alone, it does not mean that the five major ones do not eat alone.

"Hi! I've wanted to say a long time ago that as long as we change our attitude of eating alone in Dunhuang, the pressure will definitely not be that great." Zhou Lin agreed, "Aren't most movies in the circle in the form of a large number of investors - they are made entirely by their own funds. Successful returns are great, but the risks and costs are also under great pressure!"

"You said, if Dunhuang opens the investment share of film lists, can it differentiate the five majors?"

"Old Xu, you know the five majors very well." Zhou Lin looked sideways.

As for the promotion and distribution channels, Dunhuang has suffered countless losses.

After all, in the adult world, how can there be so many partners who are loyal and don’t care about interests?

——The second "recruitment" is here!

He understood what Lao Xu meant—

"This is probably the problem. Dunhuang is so popular. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop." Wang Wei said with a stern look when he heard this.

To some extent, this is the same as the major rogue clubs of the United Nations, uh, the Security Council.

"It's still a matter of dominance. Everyone knows it. The five major movie projects like Big Fire Movies and Sequels of Big Fire Movies have always liked to eat alone."

More than ten years ago, when Dunhuang was at its peak, the old man did not let him lose his independence;

A few years ago, when Dunhuang was at its most downturn, Lao Wang did not let him lose his independence;

Now, Dunhuang has risen again. If independence is destroyed in their hands, the old man will probably jump out and scold him for being unfilial.

"How fresh, can you really believe the other party's promise of "having dominance"?"

If you watch the movie business again, Dunhuang has dominated the list for three consecutive years, and it is all the multiples that are so exaggerated that they are not known to describe.

However, if you are surrounded by the five major groups at the same time, due to the disadvantages in the promotional and distribution channels, it is easy for the film to not fully explode in market potential at the hottest stage.

Shen Zhenyi thoughtfully said: "Is there no possibility of differentiation in the five major countries? Although based on a common ruling position, we can jointly suppress the challengers, the other four companies really hope to see one of them take Dunhuang into their arms and thus their strength will increase greatly?"

"If you don't eat toast, you will naturally be punished." Old Xu thought, "The five major methods of encircling and suppressing new forces are diverse, but in the final analysis, there are only a few directions, either to tamper with production or suppress the promotion and distribution channels..."

Now, it is the "toast" before "punishing wine", but it is also the "toast" that Dunhuang doesn't want to drink!

The situation is extremely serious, but Wang Wei was inexplicably melancholy.

"Of course, once all the five majors turn against each other, our disadvantages in the promotion and distribution channel will still be irreparable for a while, and we will suffer a big loss." Lao Xu paused for a moment and asked solemnly, "So, should we stick to the path of independence and independence before Dunhuang, or should we consider taking a new path of cooperation?"

Moreover, Dunhuang’s current stalls are very large because they rely entirely on their own funds to make the capital chain, and the capital chain is actually quite tight.

Just as several people expressed their opinions and gradually improved Dunhuang's response strategy, Lao Wang's cell phone rang.

Moreover, the five subsequent trends will definitely reveal more clues.

As a rare "old man" who has experienced the entire process of being suppressed by Dunhuang - tenacious resistance - struggle to survive - reappearing the glorious whole process, Xu Daoxing is no stranger to this topic.

——This not only requires strong abilities and perverted market sense, but also requires strong luck against the will.

Lao Wang was still thinking, but Wang Wei could see clearly and shook his head and said, "This is not a question of whether to challenge the old order, nor is it about mission, but the existence of Dunhuang itself is a challenge."

Whether it is the Chinese entertainment industry or Hollywood, it is a circle controlled by giants. They can cooperate and compete with each other, but new entrants will never be allowed to reach the same level.

Until now, the promotion and distribution channels have been a flaw in Dunhuang, but the times have changed and the situation is a bit different.

But as long as a serious businessman, he cannot completely pin his hopes on his illusory strong fortune.

Whether investing in one movie gets all the profits or two movies gets some profits, there is actually no absolute question of which one is better.

Unless Dunhuang is in a slump, people feel that there is no threat, just like Dunhuang, which was half dead two or three years ago; or Dunhuang has five equal abilities, then the five will accept it even if they pinch their noses.

Yes, it’s not fear, it’s melancholy.

After all, the five major film companies can be reduced to four majors or even three majors, but they are absolutely unwilling to become six majors.

If you lose a lot of money, once the project does not shrink, you may face the risk of a break in the capital chain.

but--

However, these are things that will happen in the future.

After Lao Wang took over, he invested in filming with great luck several times in a row. It is hard to say that there is no such factor.

"If I guess correctly, the other four major companies will come to contact us soon and want to include us under their ranks." Xu Daoxing said in a deep voice.

"Well..."

"We are really at the point where we are going to be suppressed by the five major coalitions?"

"As long as you lose your own issuance network, Dunhuang will have no independence. By then, it will be too late to regret it even if Dunhuang regrets it. After all, it is easy to split the issuance network and it is difficult to establish it."

——The old man’s chicken soup quote.jpg.

Unexpectedly, if I exerted too much force, I caught my eyes early.

At this time, don’t talk about the financial assistance of “overseas financial owners” – their current loose financing conditions are because the situation in Dunhuang is very good, and Dunhuang is asking them to make money;

Once Dunhuang faces the situation, it is strange that they don’t speak loudly, and it would be strange that they will give more harsh conditions!

The others just wanted to roll their eyes.

"You mean, even if we agree to the stock exchange, Dunhuang will still be split!?"

He still didn't know what Dunhuang is now?

You should know that there are actually quite a few companies with assets worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars going bankrupt due to the gap in capital chains of tens of millions or even millions.

It’s all because of this broken system!

Wang Wei was distracted and glanced at the system that had not been in charge for a while, and then "sees" the accumulated treasure chests shining-

When he looked at the number, he exchanged glances with everyone, "He is an old acquaintance of China Media Group."

This is also the reason why no one in Dunhuang suspected that China Television was bluffing to acquire Dunhuang. After all, hints can be deceived, rumors can be deceived, but data will not be deceived.

——With a producer like Wang Wei, ordinary directors can also produce relatively high-quality content, but there is never a shortage of ordinary directors in the Chinese entertainment industry, but Wang Wei cannot poach it.

Wang Wei said cautiously: "A single movie is fine, but if it is a series of movies, it is actually conceivable that the five major players want to kick us away in the subsequent sequel, make them wholly owned and eat them alone. The bullshit thing here is not less than stock exchange."

He doesn't have to eat alone.

Wang Wei curled his lips and said, "For example, if Dunhuang joins the China Television system, should the issuance network be split? It must be. I didn't say that one system has two issuance networks."

At least, due to the rise of the Internet, Dunhuang cannot be considered as having no power to fight back in media channels.

——These are all the losses that Dunhuang has suffered.

It was also at this time that they realized how far-sighted Wang Wei’s layout on the Internet was!

In essence, there is only one road before Dunhuang and the so-called "new road" -

Lao Wang was a little stubborn.

Speaking of which, isn’t he best at using other people’s money to make his own movies?

Wang Wei is not opposed to this.

"...Hello Mr. Zhao, do you want to talk to me about some matters that deepen the cooperation between the two companies? It just so happens that I have this idea, OK, let's make an appointment for the specific time..."

Are you going to challenge the old order?

Because as long as you still want to challenge the five major dominations over the Chinese entertainment industry, Dunhuang will not be able to forever stop the five major covetous and targeting them.

Considering the stable capital chain, even Lao Wang, who wanted to eat alone forever, couldn't help but nod.

This is not only the greed of human nature, but also the nature of a businessman.

The main limitations in production are poaching - Dunhuang was poached by the five major players after the old man passed away, which directly caused Dunhuang's production level to fall to a higher level.

"Even if you die, you must dominate your own death."

How to distinguish the truth from rumors is an impossible task for most people in the circle. They actually don’t care so much, and often they just want to have fun.

"You're right!"

Wang Wei nodded,

When he put down his cell phone, his eyes were a little complicated.

This is the reward for "The Silence of the Lambs" to break countless records!

Well, Tongzi is still a bit fragrant - with these rewards, if the five major players are not a human being, they will not be a human being.

As the saying goes, come on, hurt each other!
