Chapter 173 Let the Storm Come Even More Violently

“May I ask about your core competitive advantage. How do you plan to maintain it?”

The penguin representative actually has an inclination in his heart.

But he still wanted to hear Xu Ming's future plans so that he could fully evaluate the project's potential.

"As long as my Weibo followers are always number one, it will be a benchmark and will naturally build trust among target customers."

"In addition, we are the leader, and the number of artists we work with has been increasing. You may have underestimated the stability of this kind of old-to-new relationship. The reason why we brought in Penguin and Sohu is also the basis of our moat."

Xu Ming had already made plans for the questions that the other party might ask, and he answered them with ease.

As investors, Sohu and Penguin can definitely use their internal traffic resources more cheaply than from outside.

These preferential traffic resources will enhance the competitiveness of Qiming Network.

Then feed back into the concert ticketing business.

This is a chain. As long as it can be connected, it will become a moat that is difficult to break.

The Penguin representative was pleased with the response.

As copy experts, the first thing they consider when working on a project is how to copy it, and the second is how to prevent others from copying it.

"As for the core competitive point in movies, it is even more obvious: the boutique strategy."

Xu Ming paused, "Qiming Entertainment has cooperated with well-known directors such as Zhang Guoshi, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, as well as my personal film projects."

"With all these chips added together, I believe the theaters will make concessions, and I reiterate that we are the pioneers and can sign contracts with the theaters in advance."

The only thing the pioneers have to consider is whether they have chosen the wrong direction.

Xu Ming just knew the right direction.

His confidence infected the other party.

After asking for some data to support the argument, the Penguin representative smiled and said, "I will report our conversation to Mr. Ma when I get back, but personally, I am very inclined to reach a cooperation agreement with you."

This project is not big, Penguin invests dozens or even hundreds of them every year.

It’s not small, after all, it’s led by the celebrity Xu Ming, and even Xiao Ma Ge is paying attention to it.

Well, compared to Chow Yun-fat, that one is the real Little Brother Ma.

"By the way, I see you've been in a lot of public opinion recently. Do you need me to introduce you to some colleagues?"

In addition to attracting some business for the group, the penguin representative's main purpose is to show goodwill to the other party.

According to his estimation, it is only a matter of time before the two sides reach cooperation.

Our group has always attached great importance to entertainment and there is no way we would miss this project.

Of course he also considered the possibility of copying.

But as Xu Ming said, the core advantage lies in the former's relationship with Han Sanping, Zhang Guoshi and others, as well as the reputation established by his company.

This is a place that is difficult to replicate, so I gave up the idea.

"Not yet." Xu Ming shook his head.

To be honest, he had never expected that his competition with Chen Kun for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor would end up like this.

For a moment, both of them were a little embarrassed.

Just after seeing off the Penguin representative, Xu Ming received a call from Gong Li after a long absence.

Since the filming of "Dear" was completed, the two parties have not been in contact for some time.

"Hello, Sister Gong Li."

"I see that you are competing for the Hundred Flowers Awards recently. Do you want me to help you get votes?" Gong Li said.

Look at what a mature woman is.

Even if I help, I will ask the boy’s opinion in advance.

It fully demonstrates what respect is.

"No need. It's a waste for you to use such a big wrist now. I'll ask for your help again when I compete for a bigger award in the future." Xu Ming said with a smile.

If I remember correctly, he was a judge at various film festivals in the future. "Really? Not just forcing yourself?" Gong Li asked.

"Really." Xu Ming said.

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Gong Li paused, "I thought carefully about what you said some time ago, and I feel that the domestic film market is indeed expanding, but most of the projects that come to me don't seem very reliable."

"If you are not short of money, there is no need to blindly accept roles. Maintain your status and you will gain more in the future."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can wait for me to develop further. I will invite you to act in a movie later. I can't afford it now."

"Okay, I'll wait until you grow up a little bit." Gong Li teased.

Tsk, it sounds a bit maternal.

It is hard to imagine what kind of shock it would be to hear the other person say "Ling Xiaodong, you are proud now, right?"

Xu Ming's silence made Gong Li realize that his tone seemed wrong.

After saying a few perfunctory words, he hung up the phone.

As soon as Gong Li hung up the phone, another text message came in.

It belongs to the queen Wang Fei.

【Wang Fei: I’m sorry, Chen Kun, I can’t speak out about what’s going on between you two, but I’m on your side.】

Why are everyone suddenly paying attention to this trivial matter today?

Xu Ming casually replied, "It's okay."

Before he could start searching online, Xiaojuan rushed in.

"Mr. Xu, Zhao Wei is campaigning for Chen Kun on Weibo." Xiaojuan showed the picture of Zhao Bate's Weibo on her mobile phone.

Xu Ming took it and took a look at it. It was nothing more than asking everyone to support Chen Kun's words.

But the number of likes exceeded 100,000.

A number of celebrities followed suit and reposted the post, including classmates from Class 96 of Beijing Film Academy, artists Chen Kun had worked with, and members of Class 6-1 of Wang Fei's small circle.

Li Xiaowan of Rong Xinda even posted a message secretly, saying that it was ridiculous for an actor who graduated from a professional school and an amateur actor who started from Errenzhuan to compete for an acting award.

Between the lines there is disdain for Xu Ming and support for Chen Kun.

Damn it, I just signed a contract with your honey, and now you hate everyone in it?
Compared with Zhou Xun and Chen Kun’s peaceful termination of contract with Rong Xinda.

Yang Mi's departure was mixed with too many contradictions.

In their view, they had worked so hard to train Yang Mi, but the cash cow just ran away.

The key point is that he terminated the contract and joined Qiming right away.

It's hard to say there is no py trading here.

Even if Xu Ming said he didn't poach anyone, people wouldn't believe him.

Even Xu Ming's "old friends" took the opportunity to stand up, such as Wang Zhongjun of Huayi, Wu Kebo of Chengtian, and Zhang Dapao.

Artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as Zhu Yanping and Zhang Weijian, also jumped up and down along with the performance.

Previously, Xu Ming's "So Young" had a box office of over 500 million yuan, and it was the talk of the town, and no one dared to face it.

Now, through the guise of Chen Kun, they can dampen Xu Ming's enthusiasm through the Hundred Flowers Awards, which is enough to make them satisfied.

The so-called one blast, then decay, and exhaustion.

As long as Xu Ming's rising momentum can be slightly stopped and he loses his sharp edge, it will be easy to deal with him.

"No wonder they all asked me indirectly if I needed help. We are fighting together."

Xu Ming smiled, put down his phone and said, "But the thunder is loud but the rain is small. Tell Zhuo Wei and the others to hold back and let the wind and rain come more violently."

Xiaojuan opened her mouth slightly into an O shape.

Isn’t this storm strong enough?
