Chapter 374: Peak War, Harry Potter (Part 2)
Bluetus has a long history of grudges with domestic netizens. As early as when China first applied for the Olympics, he began to write articles criticizing China's various systems with a sense of superiority, although his many remarks have been widely promoted by some domestic public intellectuals and have been cited as famous quotes and tools for showing off. ()
But as a foreigner, Bluetus, no matter how many documents he has read, how much history he has read, how much data he has collected, no matter how advanced his thoughts and how advanced his knowledge, he cannot truly understand how our Chinese people survive. A very simple example is that he may be able to find the housing prices in domestic metropolis, but he will not know the average price of wheat, corn and cabbage.
Quote concepts to comment on facts, assume the situation yourself, and analyze it yourself, and the theory you have obtained is still a concept, which cannot be resonated with everyone.
So the contradictions were inevitable, and everyone began to boycott the books and movies of "The War of Time and Space".
Once again, individual comments are paid collectively.
Today, when the Chinese market is becoming more and more important, Bluetus' actions obviously cannot be recognized by film companies. So while condemning people and putting pressure on Bluetus, they went to China to do public relations. Finally, they had to declare that the film producers did not agree with Bluetus' remarks.
Then, domestic companies introduced and distributed have also begun to conduct crisis public relations on a large scale, posing the banner of "art without borders" and trying to isolate the movie from the original author.
The ultimate solution to this matter is that Bluetus wrote an "explanation article" to explain his goodwill in his criticism and speech without any intention of slandering or slandering.
Everyone can't control the inside. At least face is back, and the boycott activity has such results, which is also ideal. Based on the sentiment that art may really have no borders, the two sides finally reached a reconciliation.
Film companies want to make money and audiences want to watch movies, but after all, they still have two-way demands.
However, shortly after the boycott was lifted, another post circulated on the Internet saying that when Bluetus talked about China's boycott of him in private, he made a big fuss: "My works are many in China, and I can never authorize them. As for the movies, I won't say much. You go to the website to see the reactions of their audiences. Their urging and expectations for the next movie are completely inconsistent with the previous indignation. In other words, they begged me to make money in their wallets, and I was helpless."
This post was circulated online for a while, but someone soon came out to defy the rumors, pointing out that it was a malicious smear by the opponent and belonging to the category of vicious competition. This statement was widely recognized by everyone. On the one hand, such a statement was treacherous and should not come from a smart author. On the other hand, once the content of the post is confirmed, it is equivalent to denying the previous boycott, which is something they are unwilling to accept.
By the time the new movie "The War of Time and Space" was released, the post was gone.
In fact, although some of the words are rearranged and combined, this sentence does come from the mouth of Bluetus.
Whether intentional or unintentional, when Bluetus said this, she chose a private party occasion. Although it was private, not everyone at the meeting had a good relationship with Bluetus. This topic was easily spread.
Liu Jingting got the news from a party involved.
However, unlike those netizens who first saw this post, when Liu Jingting heard these words, he did not feel any indignation with too high intentions. The literati were noble and awkward, and it was not only popular in China. This colleague, Bluetus, obviously wanted to use this to express his persistence in his position and express his disdain and ridicule for the "interpretation letter".
There is no courageous indignation, but he is not happy with scrupulousness, because he also spent money to watch "The War of Time and Space 5" and also invited all colleagues from the editorial department.
Who can tolerate this when he spends money and is called a fool by the seller?
When Yang Lilu and Liu Jingting's words were passed on to everyone, everyone was indignant, especially Chang Youdao, because when that post was circulating, he specially posted a post to refute it, believing that it was a slander by the opponent of LC Film Company. Now, he suddenly learned the truth and immediately furious.
"We just need to know this by ourselves. Don't say it out loud, it's meaningless." Yang Lilu added.
Chang Youdao, who was indignant, slowly calmed down. He recalled his mental state at that time. Based on his experience in playing forums over the years, now that he has posted the truth, he can only attract bad news for Liu Jingting. He let others misunderstand this is a bad method used by Liu Jingting to win Bluetus.
"I can only rely on Mr. Liu's new book, otherwise, no matter how you say this, you won't feel happy."
...
"Will all your hopes be placed on this new book? Will time be a little hasty?"
Xingyue TV Building, General Manager's Office, Liu Jingting, Gong Chengpin and Gong Chengen were chatting, and Gong Chengen directly expressed his concerns.
"The data shows that the global box office of the five movies "The War of Time and Space" has reached US$3 billion, which is nearly 1 billion higher than the second place." Gong Chengpin directly presented the data, expressing the meaning similar to Gong Chengen.
Liu Jingting smiled and said, "Mr. Gong has actually started to think about such a humanistic issue."
Gong Chengpin was stunned, thought for a moment, then suddenly said "Oh" and said, "Are you also using Bluetus to create topics?"
If it were in the past, Gong Chengpin would never be concerned about Liu Jingting's winning or losing. The first reaction was Liu Jingting's purpose, and the second was the possibility of investment.
However, since working together in "Journey to the West", the two have fought side by side to create the mythical TV series' ratings and reputation myths. The revolutionary friendship that shares weal and woe, and the comrade-complex that creates glorious companionship, even Gong Chengpin, who is naturally conscientious, cannot be erased from his heart.
In order to avoid more explanations, Liu Jingting had to temporarily agree with this view.
Gong Chengen didn't agree with it and said, "No, this is not your style of Gu Shuai. Since you took the initiative to provoke, you must have prepared various preparations for winning. Since Zheng Qiu was questioning at the beginning, you have been doing this, including the recent Nobel gamble."
Liu Jingting spread his hands.
"You are," Gong Chengpin stared at Liu Jingting and said, "What are the tricks left?"
Liu Jingting thought to himself: "I thought I could not explain more if I didn't explain it, but I still couldn't escape it."
Liu Jingting said: "I am confident because I really think that the new book is sure to win. It's like a TV series is online and your judgment on the ratings is the same. This is my back-up, so let's talk about the possibility of investment now."
Gong Chengpin nodded and asked: "Is it sure that it is WB in the United States?"
"Yes, the director and behind the scenes have basically been confirmed. For the Hollywood team and actors, because the story is set in the UK and because I promised the Queen of England, I will choose all of them from the UK."
Liu Jingting narrated lightly, but the Gong brothers felt excited when they heard it. WB, Hollywood team, Queen of England, these words have such a tremendous influence on people in the entertainment industry!
Now, the young man in front of him can actually tell me about it so casually, how strong is his psychological quality.
"So, is it that the three countries cooperated?"
“That’s right.”
"What kind of story setting is it that Hollywood is necessary?"
"The magic world, making it into a movie, requires stunt support at any time, eating, walking, sending messages, elves, Death Eaters, Black Magic, mysterious and quaint magic academy, magic war..."
"I understand Gu Shuai."
Gong Chengpin continued: "Mr. Liu, please give a conclusion directly."
Liu Jingting's expression became serious, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, looked at Gong Chengpin frankly, and said, "The total investment was 2 points." He paused, "Buy out the domestic issuance rights."
"Buyout?" Gong Chengpin hesitated for a moment and immediately set his mind on the abacus. Buying out of any product is a test of the buyer's vision, because they have to bear the risk of product failure.
"What is the approximate budget?" Gong Chengpin asked.
Liu Jingting stretched out two fingers.
"Twenty million?" Gong Chengen asked.
"Two million."
Gong Chengpin and Gong Chengen were stunned on the spot. Although the domestic film and television market has been expanding in recent years and the introduction of foreign blockbuster copyrights has also been hotly hyped, but one side directly raised the budget to 200 million, which is an unprecedented sky-high price.
"Two million?" Gong Chengpin dared not answer, saying: "This number requires a high-level meeting."
Liu Jingting did not react extra and said, "I will work with you in the name of Yingri Culture and spend half of each. In addition, the novel plan is seven, which means at least seven movies. On average, one movie is less than 30 million, which is about five or six million US dollars."
Half of it is also 100 million. If "Journey to the West" had not made a fortune for the company, Gong Chengpin would almost doubt Liu Jingting's motives again.
Gong Chengpin secretly calculated that he did not dare to reply rashly, but Gong Chengen had no taboos and asked: "Gu Shuai, tell me directly about the ideal profit ratio of this movie."
"The first few movies can probably make a comeback, and the last two to three movies will have an average income of at least ten to twenty times."
Chapter completed!
