Top Gun was still very successful at the AFC press conference.

Chen Fei still has a little influence in the United Nations League. In addition, he used some connections and relationships, and some small means, so there were many reporters and media who came to attend the press conference in the end, which exceeded many people's imagination.

Soon, the entertainment media, or the entertainment section of the website, were all full of Top Gun news.

"Chen Fei's new film "Top Gun" officially landed in major American cinemas."

"According to the director and starring Chen Fei of Top Gun, this film will immediately challenge the global box office record!"

"Top Gun, China's first air combat film."

"Top Gun" was rejected by Nuren, the largest cinema chain in the United Nations!"

"Chen Fei's new film "Top Gun" can only be screened at Global Theater."

This time, the audience reported on Top Gun was not just entertainment media, but some news media also reported on their sub-page. For example, the Associated Press used a whole page to report on Top Gun and Chen Fei, giving him enough face.

I have to say that Chen Fei has accumulated a good popularity and influence over the past period of time.

Although many Americans are very disdainful of "Top Gun" in private and think that the air combat films made by Chinese people are simply impossible to be on the surface, in public, people dare not say that. At most, they just talk about other things and distort the topic. In this regard, Americans are very careful because if they are not careful, they are labeled as discriminatory, which will be troublesome.

Seeing so many media coverage of Top Gun, Nuren Theater Manager Carl frowned.

He originally thought that after these theaters rejected Chen Fei, Chen Fei would definitely be hit hard, and the entire movie publicity work would even stagnate.

He originally thought that this would force Chen Fei to surrender.

To be honest, the movie "Top Gun" is pretty good. Judging from Carl's years of experience in cinemas, although it is difficult to set a box office record, it is still OK to make a small profit.

But a fat sheep passed by without slaughtering it would not be in line with Carl's personality. What's more, this is a fat sheep from China, and the taste must be delicious!

He put down an entertainment newspaper and picked up the Associated Press magazine. There was also a whole page of "Top Gun". He read a paragraph or two casually, and it was all about "Top Gun", saying what preparations Chen Fei made to make this movie? What details in the movie Chen Fei had asked for? How much information had he checked, and so on.

After reading for a while, he put down the magazine? He picked up the phone and made a phone call. After a while, a tall girl wearing high heels came in.

"boss."

"Mina, have you read the newspaper today?"

"I saw the boss."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Boss? I don't think it's great."

"Why?"

"I haven't heard of that Universal Movie before? Now it suddenly pops up. They are screening "Top Gun" nationwide, but we give up "Top Gun". So? Everyone connects Universal Theater with us? They are regarded as movie theaters that can compete with us. Boss, I think the situation here may be more complicated than we think, we have to be careful."

"I agree with you very much, so? Mina, keep an eye on Global Theater from now on? See what they want to do? I heard that the Global Theater manager said privately that they want to rush to the top three of the United Cinemas through the movie "Top Gun"? You check it out carefully for me if it is true?"

"Okay boss."

Watching Mina, who was enchanting, walked out of the office, Carl picked up another newspaper and read it.

He flipped it around casually? Suddenly, he found an inconspicuous report: "Top Gun will be released on the Global Website, the largest streaming platform in the United States."

Um?

Carl's eyelids twitched? A bad feeling rushed to his heart.

Streaming media?

What the hell is this?

Is he a traditional film manager? He lacks research on the Internet and emerging things, but out of businessman's instinct, he seems to feel something is not very good.

He quickly put down the newspaper, turned on the computer, and searched the Internet.

The Internet has a high evaluation of streaming media, and even believes that this is likely to subvert the traditional film and television industry.

Seeing this conclusion, Carl's face became more and more serious.

However, before he could figure out the secret, Mina hurried in and reported: "Boss, something big is wrong, our stock price has plummeted."

What?

Carl stood up suddenly, his movements were so big that he made the chairs and a bunch of things on the table ring.

As the head of Nuren Cinema, the stock price is directly related to the board of directors' evaluation of him. It can even be said that the stock price is the most important indicator in the board of directors' evaluation of his work performance. If the stock price is high, even if his performance is good, bonuses and dividends will naturally rise. However, if the stock price plunges, not only will his income be greatly reduced, but he may even be directly fired by the board of directors.

Therefore, Carl is very concerned about changes in stock prices.

In fact, Nuren Cinema's stock fell a little yesterday, but he thought it was a normal change and didn't care.

But at this moment, he knew that something was wrong when he heard Mina's words. He quickly logged into the computer and opened the relevant page to read. Sure enough, the stock price of Nuren Cinemas had dropped from $89 per share to $78, and it seemed that there was a trend of continuing to decline.

What's going on?

How could the stock fall?

Carl was puzzled, his blue eyes no longer had the glory of the past, and he had only a kind of tension and anxiety in his whole body.

"Mina, please contact Mr. Lawrence immediately and ask him what the hell is going on?"

"Okay boss!" Mina walked out quickly in her high heels.

Carl stared at the computer screen, but the data on it still made him frightened, and after a while, it dropped a few more dollars.

"Damn it!"

He slapped the table in annoyance.

What's going on with this?

However, news that scared him came one after another. The next day, as soon as the securities trading market opened, their company's stocks immediately plunged sharply again and continued to fall, and the decline was even greater than yesterday.

At this point, the person in charge of the board of directors couldn't sit still and called directly to yell: "Carl, how did you do it? Why is the stock price still falling? If you don't solve this problem, I think you don't do it!"

Carl went through a lot of hardships to finally get into the position of manager. After he got into the position, he spent all his life, enjoyed food and drink and was so happy that he was willing to give up. So when he heard this, he was so scared that he quickly made a promise.

But the stocks are still falling.

"No! There must be a conspiracy here!" Carl frowned.

Nuren Cinemas was suddenly sold out in large quantities, which is so abnormal. Someone must have deliberately shorted it.

After thinking about it, he picked up his mobile phone and called a senior trader he knew on the exchange and asked for the secrets. The other party did not answer too much, but said: "There are a lot of negative news about you and Nuren Cinemas on the Internet, which may be the reason why everyone is bearish."

Negative news?

Carl quickly checked the Internet.

There are indeed some, such as his unscrupulous private life, such as financial fraud in Nuren Cinemas, but most of these things are contagious and have no real evidence, and those investors should not believe it.

There must be other reasons in it.

Finally, he decided to investigate by himself. Since his subordinates could not find out and could not find out, he might as well investigate by himself. He was still a little capable in this regard.

But before he could find out one, Mina came into his office again: "Boss, look!"

Mina handed over a newspaper.

He took it and looked at it. The newspaper belongs to the Associated Press, which is a newspaper that specializes in entertainment news. This newspaper talked about one thing in a long and long report, that is, after the release of the United Nations Association, the response was enthusiastic, and the box office and reputation were both good.

Because only one movie theater in Universal Theater has been screening this movie so far, there is a long queue at the ticket office of each cinema, and the attendance rate is 100%. Moreover, the screening rate of Universal Theater for "Top Gun" has reached 90%. However, even so, the movie is still very popular and many viewers are hard to get a ticket.

This report also talks about a more important thing, that is, when many viewers couldn't buy tickets and complained, they launched an advertisement at the ticket sales office, saying that they built a streaming website, and as long as they register a member, they can watch "Top Gun" directly. In addition to "Top Gun", most movies, TV series, or other videos around the world can be seen, and the cost per month is very cheap, much more cost-effective than watching movies, and there is no need to go out.

With this, their streaming media platform became famous in an instant, and registered users suddenly increased by several million, and the stocks of this streaming media platform have skyrocketed for days.

Moreover, many professionals have begun to speak publicly on major platforms or on various occasions, saying that the emergence of streaming media will be a fatal blow to traditional theaters. If the cinema chain does not seek breakthroughs, then the one that defeats the cinema chain will no longer be another more powerful cinema chain, but streaming media!

Seeing this, Carl's heartbeat suddenly rose from more than ninety to one hundred and three hundred. He felt that he was about to faint, and he keenly noticed a huge crisis.

What's even more terrible is that the newspaper also sneered at the movie theater chains led by Nuren Theatre. The reporter who wrote this report laughed: "As the largest movie theater chain in the United Nations, Nuren Theatre could not judge the box office potential of the movie "Top Gun". This fact once again proves that these old cinema chains have lost their vitality and creativity. Their development has reached its end and are likely to be eliminated by the market!"

Carl read other reports, which were similar to this one. Most of them praised the excellence of Top Gun and the popular movie market. He gave sarcasm or criticism to those who refused to reflect Top Gun, led by Nuren Theater.

As soon as these reports came out, Nuren Cinema stocks undoubtedly plunged again and fell sharply again.

Damn it!

Carl slapped the table again with anger.

Dingling.

The phone rang.

"Carl, what's going on with you? Why don't you hurry up and show "Top Gun"? Can't you still see the box office of this movie? Movie fans like it so much, and tickets are hard to come by. Many people went to our cinema and asked, and turned around and left after getting the news that we didn't put "Top Gun". Isn't this enough? You have to wait until there is no audience in our cinema before you are happy?"

"Also, have you seen that streaming thing? That thing is not just a threat from our theaters, it is the biggest threat to our entire film industry. I have told the president of the association just now that we must unite, otherwise, we will all be eliminated. Carl, if you don't make any changes, I can only change you!"

Carl was sprayed with a bloody sprinkler.

After hanging up the phone, he raised his head and breathed a long sigh.

s-h-i-t!

He cursed and threw the thing in his hand on the carpet. After a while, his mood calmed down, he picked up the phone: "Mina, help me contact the director of Top Gun, and said I was going to visit him and wanted to talk to him if I had something to do."

So, not long after, Chen Fei saw Yang Na smiling. Yang Na smiled and said, "Brother Fei, Carl, the manager of Nuren Cinema, just called, and he said he wanted to come over and talk to you."
