Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 786 Trends on Social Media (23)

Shen Yan was a little stunned by this sudden accusation...

When did I target her?

"...She said you've blocked all the movies she's been in!"

"You're crazy. She only acts in bad movies, and they're released at the same time as my movie..." After a pause, Shen Yan added, "I haven't said a word about 'Legend of Ravaging Dynasties,' and I've never commented on her."

"...She might be overly sensitive."

"If I really targeted her, it wouldn't be such a small matter... Alright, that's all for now, I'm hanging up!"

Shen Yan was busy sparring with Song Jia...

Seeing Shen Yan return to the bedroom, she immediately tied her hair up in a bun, wearing a loose white shirt and thin stockings on her legs…

She gave him a seductive look…

This means we've entered battle mode!
Song Jia's scenes actually ended the day before yesterday.

He stayed behind specifically to continue 'learning' from Shen Yan...

Yan Ge doesn't care, he can just work day and night!

This level of intensity is nothing to him.

……

In fact, many people in the industry dislike Shen Yan…

Huayi Brothers is a typical example.

They thought he was too selfish, not sharing the pie even when he had it.

This really can't be blamed on Shen Yan. Back then, when Shen Yan wanted to make "The Martian," he approached the Huang brothers, but they thought it was unreliable and didn't invest...

Including Shen Yan's first film, "Introduction to Architecture," starring Li Lianhua and Ren Quan.

It's clearly the Huayi Brothers team!

They didn't contribute any money either...

On the contrary, Enlight Media paid the money!
Then, several films controlled by Shen Yan, including "The Beauty Inside" and "Our Times," all partnered with Enlight Media...

By the way, Shen Yan basically doesn't look for Guangmang anymore, mainly because of Wu Jing!

Back when Xie Nan was with Wu Jing, Enlight Media actually sidelined Xie Nan.

For a period of time, apart from occasional appearances on "Entertainment Live," Xie Nan's other programs were "sold off."

She didn't start hosting shows again until her contract with Enlight Media ended!
In the original timeline, during the filming of the first "Wolf Warrior" movie, Wu Jingla's investment funds were insufficient, lacking several million, so he sought investment from Enlight Media.

At the time, Xie Nan was the top executive in Enlight Media's television division. The value of her Enlight Media shares was close to 1000 million yuan at its peak. Enlight Media went public in 11 and had a lot of money, investing tens of millions of yuan in various projects. However, she didn't invest in "Wolf Warrior," forcing Wu Jing to mortgage his house to raise several million yuan. Xie Nan's statement, "I have a small house!" was not just something she said to Wu Jing.

So, when "Wolf Warrior 2" became a huge hit, Wang Changtian posted a congratulatory message, and Xie Nan replied with, "I hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to respond. I hope that one day those who understand him can feel more at ease..."

It's highly unlikely that Guangmang and Wu Jing and his wife will collaborate.

In addition, Maoyan itself possesses strong marketing and distribution capabilities…

Spark rarely collaborates with Light anymore…

Generally, for films produced by Spark Entertainment, the main production company is Spark Entertainment Studio, along with the director's own company, Maoyan, and China Film Group. Sometimes Wanda Group also participates...

There are probably only a few of these!

However, there are often more than ten co-producers—either theater chains or companies with promotional resources…

The cost of "The Big Shot 3: The Thunder" was 1.5 million yuan, and the box office was predicted to be over 25 billion yuan!
There really weren't many good movies in October, including so-called Hollywood blockbusters: The BFG, Mechanic 2, Inferno, and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. Oh, and there was also Shockwave... Based on the 25 billion box office, The Big Shot 3 earned more than 9 million in revenue!
Even after deducting production and marketing costs, it can still generate 7 million...

This is incredibly profitable!

Huayi Brothers suffered various losses this year; the combined box office of its films "Run for Love" and "All Is Well" at the beginning of the year did not reach 7000 million yuan.
Two films were released during the summer season: "Rock Dog" and "When Larry Met Mary"...

The box office and critical reception were not good!
So far in 2016, only Warcraft can be considered passable...

However, Huayi Brothers was only a co-producer of Warcraft...

Then Huang Zhonglei wasn't in a hurry at all; instead, he prepared a film list: Project H:

We guarantee that Huayi Brothers' film business will be on the right track in 2017!

Feng Xiaogang announced his five film projects: "I Am Not Madame Bovary", "Cell Phone 2", "Marriage Laboratory", "Unforgettable", and "The Song Has Gone".

Other films include action comedies such as "The Lawyer and the Killer" and "Dragon Shakes the World"; thriller fantasy films such as "Death Loop" and the "Heavenly Spirits" series; the war epic "The Eight Hundred Apocalypse"; the top Hollywood animation "Blade Runner"; and super IP adaptations such as "E-sports Heroes" and "Thunder Agent".

It's all in Plan H!
They even released a film slate with Kung Fu Pictures, produced by Chen Kuo-fu, containing only five films, including the *Detective Dee* series, the *Ghost Blows Out the Light* series, and the *Painted Skin* series. Adding to this is the popular game adaptation *Onmyoji*, and Akira Kurosawa's posthumous masterpiece *Black Mask*…

And then… Huayi Brothers' market value didn't fluctuate at all!
The secondary market today is not like it was two years ago, when a film slate presentation could boost market capitalization...

It's hard to succeed just by bragging!
Too many companies have done this—damn it, the previous companies have been taxing people's intelligence for years to come, and now ordinary people are poor and there's no profit to be made!

How to do?
Actually, it's easy to solve—just get Shen Yan to help with memorizing!

However, Shen Yan completely ignored them...

In a sense, Shen Yan isn't in the entertainment industry; he's in the film and television industry…

And it's the highest level of circle—they're Oscar-winning directors!
The Huang brothers dared not offend such a person, much less smear him...

Therefore, when Shen Yan satirized "I Am Not Madame Bovary" some time ago, Huang Zhonglei commented, "I will definitely invite Shen Yan to the premiere of 'I Am Not Madame Bovary'!"

After all, "half of Huayi's empire was built by Feng Xiaogang."

But should he be allowed to confront Shen Yan?

He couldn't find a point to criticize, after all, the Huang brothers didn't know Shen Yan well...

They couldn't understand why Shen Yan's company, which had already earned over 10 billion in profits for three consecutive years, was still not listed on the stock exchange...

Oh, he was talking to Feng Xiaogang about the promotion of "Pan Jinlian", and naturally mentioned Taopiaopiao, then Maoyan... and then Shen Yan!
Will Maoyan accept our distribution?

“…Probably not,” a staff member chimed in, “Maoyan has secured distribution rights for three films in November: *Northeast Folk Tales: Huang Daxian*, *Hide and Seek*, and *Northeast Police Story 2*…”

""hide and seek"?"

"It seems to be a thriller, starring Huo Jianhua, Qin Hailu, and Wan Qian, and invested in by Free Whale..."

Huang Zhonglei hurriedly asked, "Shen Yan wasn't involved?"

"Yes...he wasn't involved!"

"Then there's nothing to worry about..."

Feng Xiaogang remarked, "He seems to be keeping a low profile lately!"

"No, he's trending on social media!"

"Hot search?"

"...See for yourself!"

Good grief, Shen Yan posted on Weibo: "A document that we haven't signed is just toilet paper, a piece of waste paper!"
Then, this statement went viral!
