New Age Artists

Chapter 570 The avenue has been wiped out!

BBC, CNN.

The Voice of x Country, the Voice of Germany DW.

The New York Times, The Economist.

Western official media, official channels, and some "international" publications have all labeled Shen Santong and questioned whether the country is no longer open.

Santong Entertainment issued a statement refuting these media outlets, emphasizing that this was a business dispute and should not be subject to political manipulation.

Generally speaking, people would not claim these hats, but there is no shortage of creatures in Tokyo University who are willing to take on these hats!
The overall situation! The overall situation!

You, Shen Santong, are the sinner who destroyed the overall situation!
crazy!

After Shen Santong called for a ban on Hollywood movies being shown in China, it was more than just "stoning a dog and barking at it", it was simply pouring water into an frying pan and pouring oil into a water pan!
For personal gain!
In order to let Santong Entertainment dominate the market!
Your own movies can't get out, your own movies are not popular in Europe and the United States, you are suffering from paranoia, do people think highly of us, do they look at you straight, conspiracy theory! (This comment is worth one cent, remove the brackets)

For this reason, the director of the China Film Group, which is more inclined towards the cinema chain, came out to say: "We will never change our openness. Not only will we not go back this year, but we will also increase our efforts. The relevant companies must face up to market competition and not be greenhouse flowers!"

"The development of Dongda Film is inseparable from the good films provided by Hollywood, and we are grateful for this."

Immediately afterwards, a series of film lists were announced, including "Transformers 3", "Kung Fu Panda 2", "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 5", "Fast and Furious " and other major Hollywood movies of this year, which will be released on a good schedule.

Cheers!
All of a sudden, "What do you mean you've fallen out of favor?", "You defended the country, but did the country work for you?", "This is the fate of being an angry young man", "Being a dog, a slave of the government, you won't even be given a bone".
All kinds of sarcasm and ridicule are really enjoyable.

I haven’t felt so happy in many years!

Hollywood imported blockbusters just don’t have a good schedule. Before, Shen Santong was just a bully in his own circle. Without the protection month for domestic films, domestic films in the summer season will definitely suffer a total defeat!

Just looking at the comments of the farm animals, I thought their nationality was Xiaomi!

In short, Shen Santong was defeated! Our army was defeated!

Some of Shen Santong's supporters also turned from extreme optimism to extreme pessimism: Santong Entertainment has achieved today's results too smoothly, and the price it paid was not high enough. When Hollywood conquered cities and territories in the Age of Exploration, everyone was bleeding. Hurry up and take back your wild words. Don't fight with Hollywood giants. You can't beat them!
Some functional departments also stood up to add insult to injury: Xiao Shen, see the Hollywood wolf is coming, so don’t bully our compatriots in Hong Kong and Taiwan, you must unite!

Shen Santong was also dumbfounded.

Because this time he got to know firsthand how some things were done.

From livestock breeders, to some experts, to some media, people within the officialdom are quickly returning to their positions.

The executive of China Film Group is quite opposed to its current business model and has intricate interests with the cinema chains.

I am grateful to Hollywood, and believe that without Hollywood, there would be no progress in Dongda Film.
He is also Han Sanping's enemy and has been advocating the splitting up of China Film Corporation.

I don’t know if it’s stupid or bad, but it’s just right in this position.

Those who stood out did not understand what it meant to "defend in order to attack, retreat in order to advance, go sideways in order to go straight, and take a detour in order to go straight."

After Shen Santong took the lead in the charge, the plan began.

Now is the time to give up the market in big steps.

Next, it depends on the patriotism of Xiaomi media giant.

Of course, this behavior can only be a casual move, and at most you can gain a little benefit.

However, this little bit of benefit may be worth hundreds of billions or even trillions for a negotiation of the size of Dongda and Xiaomi.

There are no losers either, except for the interests of Xiaomi Empire.

Xiao Mi also wins and can obtain a large number of financial derivatives.

The University of Tokyo is just increasing its industrial strength, and all the money earned is hard-earned.

Shen Santong remained calm in the face of such public opinion.

got used to it.

He has always believed that no matter what industry one is in, one should coordinate and adjust accordingly with the country's major policies and strategies and the international situation.

If you don't follow the trend and go against the trend, you will be smashed to pieces. For example, you know clearly, but you still choose to invest heavily in Syria 11 years later, do business on behalf of the UK during Brexit, and invest a penny 22 years later.

This doesn't mean you can't do it, it just depends on whether you're willing to do it.

Without this awareness, you are just doing small things and cannot be presentable.

Shen Santong works in the film and television industry. He does not rely on making money, sending girls around, or relying on outsiders. He does not have any media connections. If he wants to develop, he must match the country's development direction.

The local market of the cultural industry is of paramount importance. The market of 1.4 billion people in Dongda with unified writing and culture has endless potential.

Overseas interests are subsidiary “trophies”.

First cultivate your own land, and when the flag of Tokyo University rises to the sky, it will naturally be sought after as soft power.

By then, there will be great scholars standing on the platform to chant scriptures!

Santong Entertainment hits Hollywood hard, causing friction between the two sides.

As a result, it seems that in order to dispel outside doubts, Hollywood imported films were screened normally this year. The biggest victim was not Santong Entertainment, but other film companies.

Huayi’s stock price plummeted.

Santong Entertainment only fell slightly, and Huayi fell to its knees on the spot.

By giving up the market in big steps, Santong Entertainment still has the strength to fight back, but other domestic film companies really have no ability to resist.

Wang Zhonglei said angrily: "Shen Santong is talking nonsense and we are the ones who suffer! We must draw a clear line between ourselves and him, so as to promote cooperation with Hollywood!"

"Shut up!" Wang Zhongjun didn't want anyone to disturb his thinking.

Wang Zhonglei stopped talking immediately.

Huayi’s development has always been about valuing people, and its strategy in the circle is blockbuster model + celebrity strategy.

As for the celebrities, Fan Bingbing ran away, Li Bingbing was half-tied up, and Yao Chen, who was favored by fashion brands, was supported. The young actor Deng Chao filled the gap of not being able to win over Huang Xiaoming.

For TV series, we poach top directors, for movies, it’s Feng Xiaogang, for production, it’s Chen Guofu, and then Wang Zhonglei is in charge of the specific business.

Just stick to the big directors and big stars.

There are also people outside the industry. The earliest ones were Taihe Group, TOM Group with Li family’s urban background, and Ma Yun who he knew through the circle. He obtained investment from these and some bank relationships.

Riding horses, playing ball, driving, and entertaining guests are Wang Zhongjun's life, fun, and work.

Therefore, Wang Zhongjun did not receive any response from some circles regarding Shen Santong's criticism of Hollywood.

This in itself is an answer.

"We just need to do our own thing. We can cooperate with Hollywood, but we can't do it in a big way," Wang Zhongjun ordered his brother.

It is indeed a good opportunity for "international" cooperation.

Over the years, Hua Yi has been following Shen Santong to gain benefits.

The reason why Yao Chen was favored by some big names was that Shen Santong seemed to have some opinions about her on "The Disguiser" and gained her support.

You have to reap the benefits this time, but you still can't rush to the front.

Wang Zhonglei felt very aggrieved.

Huayi has gone public and has become financially independent, yet it still has to endure bullying!
"The film industry is too dependent on people and has high risks. We need to adjust our business as soon as possible. The Internet and real estate are much easier to do than movies. We need to gradually shift to this direction in the next few years."

Wang Zhongjun also felt uncomfortable and made up his mind to change.

He is good at working with people, and has many connections in the Internet and real estate, both of which are better than movies.

Guangxian Media is also taking action.

Unlike Huayi, Huayi’s main business is movies, followed by cinema investment and artist management, and then TV series, etc.

Guangxian Media's main business is TV programs and advertising, and Guangxian Pictures was developed later.

Zhang Zhao joined Guangxian Media as art director in 03, and founded Guangxian Pictures in 06 and served as its president.

It was also he who built a glamorous distribution team and created a unique matrix model, that is, there are distribution personnel stationed in every city.

Guangxian is very cautious about investing in movies, and most of its investments are in the form of distribution or additional investments.

Wang Changtian once explained the glamorous matrix distribution model: "In the past, distribution was done through film companies. No matter how big the film company was, the distribution company only had a dozen people, and they dealt with the theaters. You had no idea how the theaters scheduled the films and when they would be shown. It has been like this for more than a decade."

"We have distributors in every of the 70 cities with the highest box office in the country, and every theater has one. After the system was established, they found that our system could increase the box office by 30%, but they still didn't do it, saying that we were wasting time and money, and that there was no point, and that more publicity would be enough." "They don't understand what we do locally. We can cooperate with local media. Others go to a city and they are unfamiliar with it, but we have people stationed there. This marketing system is really unmatched by others."

After the movie is released, the matrix model relies on local distributors in each city to coordinate local theater and media resources. Compared with the traditional model, the matrix model is quite efficient.

Even if it is a bad movie, it can still have certain box office revenue.

Guangxian used this model to obtain many film distribution rights and also created some guaranteed box office revenue.

Later on, the practice of booking golden theaters to boost box office sales developed.

At this moment, Santong Entertainment and Hollywood were having friction, and Wang Changtian was "feeling so vexed that he couldn't get rid of the wine".

Among today’s film and television companies, Santong Entertainment is undoubtedly the leader, while Huayi firmly holds the second place with its past advantages.

Bona has developed very well thanks to its relationship with Santong Entertainment, and even the latecomer Xiaoma Film's production capabilities are stronger than Guangxian.

I couldn’t do the second one, and it seemed I couldn’t do the third and fourth one either, so I fell to the fifth one.

Wang Changtian thinks that’s not possible!

He started to enter the film industry in 2006 and has had a steady career, but he has not produced any masterpiece that has been praised by others.

This is the weakest point of Guangxian, which is that it cannot produce a representative work.

Due to differences in company valuation, Wang Changtian’s financing plans have failed more than once.

He always felt that he sold too low. Unlike Hua Yi, he treated entertainment as a business and Guanggxuan as his own child.

With the listing of Santong Entertainment and Huayi, capital is now chasing after film and television companies, and everyone is a unicorn. Moreover, old-established companies like Guangxian have obtained very good financing conditions and are no longer short of money.

But Hollywood is sharpening its knives, and Lao Wang also wants to get a piece of the pie from the hit movies. At least he wants to include the film industry in the prospectus, so as not to let down the employees who have worked with him for so many years.

Deep down, he doesn't think he is much worse than the big and small Wangs, and that Guangxian's market value will definitely exceed Huayi in the future.

Wang Changtian stared at the long blackboard in the office for a long time. It was densely covered with titles of plays, movies, and people.

There are more than 100 names, most of which are names of directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

“Something has to change.”

Wang Changtian made up his mind.

If Hollywood doesn't cut it off, I'm afraid I can only do distribution in the future and won't be able to get involved in core film production.

Huayi’s strategy of focusing on blockbusters, big directors and big stars has no future, and it also has no future by relying on Hong Kong and Taiwan!
Santong Entertainment was founded by Shen Santong, who is a super director and cannot be copied.

However, there are many things to learn from Santong Entertainment. "Happy Birthday", "Crazy" series, "Lost on Journey", "Love Is Not Blind" and other low-cost small productions are worth imitating and learning.

Guangxian must pursue the development of new types, bet on small and medium-sized productions, dare to use new actors and new directors, and consciously prefer new directors from the mainland.

The audience and film environment have changed, and new mainland directors have gained more recognition. Cultivating new directors is something Guangxian urgently needs to do.

There is no time to delay!

There is a huge gap in directors. Most of the veteran directors in the mainland are not capable enough, and it is difficult to support the future development of the Chinese-language film industry. The only way is to discover new directors.

It was changing before, but too slowly.

Can't wait!
Film project strategies must be adjusted comprehensively.

"First, we should fully explore and train mainland directors, discover new directors, let TV drama directors, advertising directors, actors, etc. direct movies, and allow more directorial debuts to appear."

"Second, we stick to commercial genre films. We don't make films just to win awards, or to convey values ​​or educate people."

"Third, regarding brand operation strategy, I think we can accommodate 20 brands in the future. I hope that Guangxian will become the company with the most brands."

The collision between Santong Entertainment and Hollywood giants has created a stir that has forced the film and television industry to change.

However, mainland domestic film companies are not the worst off.

Because the market is still optimistic, and with massive money printing, all kinds of money are available.

The worst are art films.

No!

you!

Shen Santong was shouting about passing on art, but he was hypocritical and launched heavy attacks, starting with eliminating the bottom middle level.

They are all our backbone. We will eliminate the backbone while keeping the immature young people.

This is going to abduct all the young people!

Come quickly! Come and take a look! Take a look!

What are you all paying attention to? Look how miserable we are!

Unfortunately, no one paid attention.

All the attention from the industry has been sucked away. Art films pursue marginalization, and public attention is inherently low.

And some outsiders who gave money made Ou Meng poor.

As for Xiao Mi, she was completely in ecstasy.

Expected explosion, all kinds of infiltration invested in recent years are really useful!
The stock prices of listed companies have skyrocketed!
Even companies that are not listed have various financing channels, and they can all be financialized in Xiaomi's land.

The market has not yet realized its potential, but the benefits have been reaped.

For Hollywood companies, the most important task at the moment is to ensure that this pie-in-the-sky continues to generate revenue from the world's second largest market, which is growing by 50%.

The lobbying efforts are starting to intensify. The University of Tokyo is doing a great job, and now we need to intensify some of our own politicians.

They use our media resources, accept our donations, and even ask us to provide them to various celebrities.

Get to work!

As for how the art films of the University of Tokyo are, no one really cares.

The door has been opened and the kicking work is completed!
Hollywood movies can make their way in, so there is no need for these dogs!

however.

Someone else is the worst off.

It’s not even a mainland art film!

The mainland market itself is in a period of expansion. In addition, the market is large, and art films have official funding and official status.

It’s just that the right to speak has been lost, but what should be there is still there.

The worst hit are Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In the past two years, the mainland film industry has been changing every day.

Starting a few years ago, from historical blockbusters to commercial films, Shen Santong has taken back the definitions of movies one by one.

Now, apart from Hong Kong and Taiwan funds which account for the majority, as well as some solidarity projects, for normal commercial film projects, mainland actors and mainland teams are still the first choice.

If the market is expanding in an extensive manner, the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry can also benefit from it, and can also supplement its own products through other means.

The current situation is that Hollywood blockbusters are making great strides in conquering the market, while domestic film companies are responding with caution.

From Santong Entertainment to other small companies, everyone is responding to this change.

With the core being like this, the already marginalized Hong Kong and Taiwan circles will naturally be squeezed even more.

Moreover, all the heat is attracted by the core circle. Huayi, Guangxian, Xiaoma and other films can still absorb some heat energy, and art films still have some guarantee.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan circles are on the edge of the edge and feel the biting chill.

Guangxian, which is close to the Hong Kong circle, has begun to support new directors, produce low-budget comedies, and cooperate more strongly with Hong Kong Island.

Shen Santong and the Hollywood giant clashed with each other, and the aftermath was enough to overturn the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles.

In a fight between emperors, even the Great Dao can be worn out!
