Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 29 The whole northwest of Shanxi is in chaos (please read later)

"By the way, regarding the project of Love Apartment that you asked me to write about, I have already contacted the investor Lianfan Technology. It is understood that the total investment is about five million, and they own all the copyrights."

"It was finished in late October last year, and the film has been produced, but no buyer has been found yet. I have tried to contact them, but they are not willing to give in."

Tang Sheng didn't know how Xu Ming knew about this project in a remote corner. He was only responsible for unconditionally implementing the other party's decision.

The people at Lianfan Technology are not fools either.

"Love Apartment" was originally just an advertisement to promote the dating website of the same name, with an initial investment of only 600,000 yuan.

But after the filming was completed, the director showed the finished film to 500 viewers for preview and found that the effect was very good, which led to the subsequent investment of more than 4 million yuan.

"I don't want to let it go, so..."

Xu Mingsheng came up with an idea: "Go contact the main actors of this drama and sign them if they don't have a management contract. If necessary, you can reveal my identity and wave the banner of Benshan Media."

Since he can't get a piece of the "Love Apartment" cake, it's okay for him to take a piece of it, right?
With the fame that "Love Apartment" brought to several leading actors, their commercial value could have been higher, but their resources were really bad.

It was not until ten years later that they gradually found their own way out.

Lu Ziqiao starred in Master Zhang's movie, Guan Gu was able to lead a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, and my aunt won the Best Supporting Actress award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, and later won the Huading Best Actress Award.

As for Zeng Xiaoxian, he never returned to the path of a variety show star. Hu Yifei and Chen Meijia both entered the live streaming e-commerce industry.

Their respective situations made the audience outside the play feel emotional.

There is indeed a difference between studying the business and not studying it.

Of course, no matter how poor these guys are, they are not comparable to normal people. Take Wang Chuanjun for example. In his words, when he was the poorest, he only had one million in his card and he didn't dare to go out...

"I understand. I think Lianfan Technology can try harder. After all, they are an Internet company and are unlikely to gamble everything. They should still be able to give up some copyrights." Tang Sheng argued.

Internet companies attach great importance to the investment-output ratio. If they can recover most of the costs in advance, he expects Lianfan Technology will not refuse.

"Okay, try to contact them again. The budget is four million, and the bottom line is 30% of the copyright share. Try to lean more towards online platforms."

"The more shares you negotiate, the more bonus you will get."

Xu Ming still has some ambitions to get a piece of the "Love Apartment" pie.

It would be fine if there is no opportunity, but if you have the ability, you should naturally try to get a piece of the pie.

In the future, the copyright income will be worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

……

The next day.

Regarding Xu Ming’s criticism of “Love Is Not Blind”.

It quickly spread across major media and websites.

There wasn't much happening in March, and everyone was bored, but then Xu Ming, a very popular guy among the people, stepped forward to contribute to the topic.

It instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

Many people have really carefully watched the movies in recent years and found that just as Xu Ming said, one of the male and female protagonists must be an artist from Hong Kong or Taiwan.

This is still under the background of mainland investment. If it is Hong Kong and Taiwan capital, well-known mainland actors can only be relegated to supporting roles.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest, and people were scolded both offline and online.

These voices naturally reached Huayi.

When the brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei heard the news, they were stunned for a moment.

In their view, since they had announced to ban Xu Ming, the latter would not show up in front of them at least in the short term.

Unexpectedly, the other party jumped even more excitedly. "Isn't Teng Huatao a contracted director of our company?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

His implication was very clear. His own people went to direct movies for Xu Ming and Cheng Sky Entertainment. Isn't this a slap in his face?

"Director Teng went there after finishing filming 'Snail House'. He didn't have much work at the moment, and he himself was more inclined to enter the big screen again," Wang Zhonglei explained.

Even if your own company doesn't invest, you can't stop others from making movies invested by others, right?

After all, Teng Huatao is not an ordinary person.

Strictly speaking, the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship.

"In fact, we can't just think of the bad side of this matter. There are also benefits. They invest to help us train directors. If they fail, there is no loss. If they become Director Teng, they are still ours."

"As for Xu Ming, he is nothing more than a clown who wants to take advantage of the movie's launch to gain attention. Why don't we help him? We can get the attention anyway, but it's not convenient for you and me to take part. We will have our own men to fight back when the time comes."

Wang Zhonglei wished Xu Ming would curse even harder, as this was all free media coverage.

The media likes it, the audience likes it, and they also like the attention it can get. It’s a win-win situation for all three parties.

Thinking of this, he even began to admire Xu Ming a little. It was a pity that he was not an artist from his own company.

"That makes sense. If they want to expand the impact, it would be pointless to just be with us. Didn't he also blast people from the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles and drag them in to muddy the waters?"

Wang Zhongjun came to his senses from his anger and quickly began to think of a decision that would be beneficial to him.

With this realization, Huayi quickly held a press conference to respond.

First, they declared that their movie was not called "Robot" but "The Sound of Wind" and accepted Xu Ming's challenge.

The second is to accuse Hong Kong and Taiwan of going too far and not giving new mainland actors room to grow.

They couldn't compete in the past, but now, most of the young actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan have been wiped out due to the "porn photo scandal".

Young actors such as Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei and Deng Chao are eager to come forward and naturally want to compete.

LeTV also immediately came out to declare that "Robot" was theirs, and decided to take on two at once, working on "Love is Not Blind" and "The Message" together.

The entire northwest of Shanxi was suddenly in chaos, and more and more mainland companies and actors spoke out.

The domestic film and television market is obviously on the rise. If they want to eat more of this cake, they have to let people from the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles eat less. Taking advantage of the public opinion offensive launched by Xu Ming, they all attacked him.

People in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles were stunned.

We didn't even know who Xu Ming was, and we were hit hard from the start.

There was no resentment in the past, but now there is hatred.

【Wang Jing: We always treat everyone equally in casting. Mainland actors were not selected only because they cannot match the box office appeal of Hong Kong actors.】

[Wu Baige: I suspect Xu Ming is deliberately trying to stir up disputes among the three places. I will never use such an actor.]

【Xie Tingfeng: Who is Xu Ming? I don’t know him. Also, please stop asking me about my relationship with Chen Guanxi. I have a good relationship with Bai Zhi.】

While the outside world was in chaos, Xu Ming hid in a small building and stayed calm, filming his movies without showing up in public.

The popularity he wanted has been achieved, and no matter how much it is hyped up later, he, the initiator, cannot be left out.

The rest of the page will be left to colleagues.

People should know how to be content. Otherwise, if they are too popular, they may become the one being attacked by everyone.
