Chapter 1011: The Battle for the Top

This meeting lasted for a long time, and it was almost eleven o'clock when it ended.

After the meeting, just as Tan Yue arrived at the office, Chen Ye came in with several documents.

The company officially started working, and things suddenly became more and more.

"Mr. Tan, this is the summary sent by several departments, and there are several contracts finalized two years ago, and now you need to sign."

"Okay, put it here first, I'll call you after signing."

Chen Ye went out in response, and Tan Yue picked up the documents and started to deal with them.

The several documents that need to be signed were basically confirmed before the New Year. As long as there are no problems, they can be signed directly, but signing contracts is always very important, especially for large companies like Brilliant Entertainment, which need to be taken seriously.

Tan Yue carefully read through the first document.

This document is a web variety show in cooperation with Penguin Video, and the third season is going to be filmed this year.

After the innovation, the second season can be said to have crushed all variety shows broadcast at the same time in terms of ratings, and many netizens on the Internet are calling for the third season to be filmed quickly.

Originally, Penguin Video had already expressed the idea of ​​filming the third season on New Year's Day, but Tan Yue felt that the time was a little rushed.

The second season was so exciting that if the third season was not well prepared, it would inevitably disappoint many viewers.

Therefore, Penguin replied at that time that the third season would be launched after the Spring Festival.

Tan Yue read the contents of the contract and signed his name on it after confirming that there were no problems.

He had previously read the program framework for the third season sent by the TV series department and had revised it many times. It met the requirements and could be filmed.

After processing, Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to send the file back. Looking at the summaries of various departments on the side, he did not rush to read them, but searched for relevant information about "Back in Time" on the computer.

Knowing yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

In any case, the box office of "The Godfather" is not as high as "Back in Time", and it is still necessary to continue to study the opponent.

The evaluation of "Back in Time" in China is good. After all, it has the advantage of home court and is slightly better in word of mouth.

But the situation abroad is different. "The Godfather" is completely at a disadvantage.

The production team of "Back in Time" is a well-known international director. The cast is even more different. The male and female protagonists of "Back in Time" are international superstars, and their appeal at the box office is self-evident.

In terms of the reputation of the movie, many netizens at home and abroad call "Back in Time" the most imaginative movie in the past decade.

Tan Yue rubbed his eyes and had to admit that "Back in Time" is a very good science fiction adventure movie.

But he did not lose confidence. Others are excellent, and he is not bad either.

The box office gap between "The Godfather" and "Back in Time" is gradually narrowing, which is the best proof.

The difference between the two movies is obvious. Compared with special effects, they are simply one in the sky and one in the ground. "The Godfather" did not use any special effects, and the whole movie was completely supported by the plot.

It is precisely because of this that this movie has achieved the ultimate in plot.

If they are really compared together, Tan Yue feels that "Back in Time" will definitely not be the opponent of "The Godfather" in terms of plot, even if it is called the most imaginative science fiction movie in the past decade.

Tan Yue believes that in a few days, the box office of "The Godfather" will definitely exceed "A Time Traveler".

In the UK, there is a cafe on the corner of a busy street, with melodious classical music playing inside, and a few people are drinking coffee and chatting quietly.

"Sir, your coffee."

"Thank you."

Sitting opposite each other by the window, two people are Saul Linton and Carol Jeff.

Yesterday, the two people agreed to meet in this cafe.

Saul Linton tasted the coffee and asked, "I've been so busy recently. I didn't have time to meet you twice. I thought you didn't want to come."

"I'm busy with company matters. The company has recently negotiated a big contract, but it hasn't been negotiated yet. I've been busy with this matter for the past two days." Carol Jeff also tasted a sip of coffee: "It tastes good."

"So have you negotiated it?"

"No, the second round will start in two days, otherwise I won't have time to come for coffee today."

Saul Linton said, "Have you seen the movie "Black Fire"? "

The two people can drink coffee together because of the agreement a few days ago.

"Of course I did. I went to see the movie that day."

"I've also watched The Godfather. Let me tell you what I think. Although gangster movies are not the type of movies I like, I have to say that this movie is really wonderful. The Godfather is a very profound movie. Whether it's the characterization or the advancement of the plot, it is definitely in the top three of all the movies I've seen."

Sol Linton thought for a moment: "If gangster movies are the type of movies I like, I would rank The Godfather first."

He went to see it after get off work the next night. Before entering the cinema, he was still worried that The Godfather would not be good. After all, he came here just to get angry. But after watching it, he realized that he was overthinking. It's not unreasonable that The Godfather has a good box office.

On the third day, he couldn't help but watch it for the second time, and he was a little addicted to it.

"How about the movie Black Fire? I saw many people on the Internet saying that this movie seems to have plagiarized a Chinese movie."

Carol Jeff nodded and sighed, with a look of helplessness on her face: "Before I knew that "Black Fire" was a plagiarized movie, I really thought this movie was very good. Both sides sent undercovers to each other, which was very exciting. After watching it that day, I felt like I was a sure winner. I never expected that "Black Fire" was suddenly revealed to be plagiarized, and the film that was plagiarized was the work of the director of "The Godfather" a few years ago."

"Is it such a coincidence?" Sol Linnton has only been seen online occasionally, and the specific details are unclear.

"It's such a coincidence that the reputation of "Black Fire" has plummeted, and the box office performance is even more disastrous. This movie is considered a waste. I admit that I lost this round."

Sol Linnton was a little surprised when he heard this sentence. Mutual dissatisfaction was the fundamental reason why the two people could not communicate. He did not expect that the other party would admit defeat so directly.

Before coming, he thought that today would be a scene of fighting with each other.

Carol Jeff said: "I gave up so quickly because I saw "The Godfather." Like you said, a great movie. It ranks first for me. Better than "Black Fire" "Ten times better."

He is a very keen audience for this type of movie. Whenever there is a movie of this type, he will go to the cinema to watch it. After watching "The Godfather", he was completely conquered.

The top floor of an office building in the United States.

Sitting in front of the computer was a fat man with no hair and a bloated figure. This man was the president of Platinum Entertainment. "Back in Time", which ranks No. 1 on the box office list, is their company's movie.

His name is Rudolf Alvin, and at this time his eyes are fixed on the computer screen, checking the news related to "The Godfather".

Before the movie was released, the company conducted an evaluation of the movies released at the same time, and "Back in Time" had a very high chance of ranking first at the box office.

After its release, it has been in the leading position just as they assessed. However, I never expected that the box office performance of "The Godfather" would be so good. The growth rate is too fast.

Rudolf Alvin was not happy because "Back in Time" has been ranked No. 1 since its release. He felt great pressure from "The Godfather".

In the past two days, the single-day box office performance of "The Godfather" has almost caught up with "Turn Back Time." If we don't take some action, it will be overtaken sooner or later.

With a knock on the door, a man walked in.

"President."

"sit."

Rudolf Alvin asked: "What do you think of the movie 'The Godfather'?"

The person who came in was the director of the Publicity Department. He thought for a moment and replied: "Since the day before yesterday, our department has been collecting information related to "The Godfather". Combined with the reviews of major websites and some countries' Media interviews, "The Godfather" will probably surpass us in a few days."

"What you are talking about is exactly what I am worried about now. "The Godfather" is an opponent that cannot be ignored." Rudolf Alvin said: "Before the filming of "Back in Time" started, we set the box office target at No. 1, so we took We will spend money to expand publicity and maintain our number one position.”

"We have discussed a complete plan, please take a look."

Rudolf Alvin listened to the director's introduction while flipping through the documents, and signed the document directly after more than ten minutes.

A new wave of publicity has officially started.

"Back in Time" was originally the number one movie at the box office, and its reputation was not bad. After the publicity, the popularity increased very quickly, and in a short period of time it became the focus of discussion around the world.

Mainstream entertainment media around the world then launched a new round of reports.

United States: As one of the most imaginative science fiction adventure movies in the past decade, "A Step Back in Time" is a masterpiece not to be missed! The movie is being released simultaneously around the world, and audiences from all over the world are welcome to enter the cinema!

South Korea: Science fiction themes have always been liked by many young people, and adventure is also a fun thing for young people. When science fiction and adventure come together, you have the movie "Back in Time"! "Back in Time" has been ranked first in the box office rankings since its release and is deeply loved by young people from all over the world.

France: Many people think that "Back in Time" is a movie full of imagination. The reason why these imaginations attract countless netizens to discuss is entirely because these imaginations are based on science, which makes many people think it can be realized. This is exactly what netizens have discussed about this movie.

UK: "Back in Time" continues to rank first in the real-time box office rankings of movies. The movie has been liked and discussed by many people since its release. The technology-rich picture is worth going to the cinema to savor.

Beijing, Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue looked at the promotional momentum of "Back in Time" and felt the same pressure in his heart.

The other party's international reputation is much higher than his own. With a little publicity, the effect will be immediate.

Tan Yue felt that he could not just sit there and continue to carry out publicity activities to expand the influence of "The Godfather" and let more audiences around the world know about this movie.

Picking up the internal phone at hand: "Xiao Ye, come here."

Chen Ye knocked on the door gently and came in: "Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue looked away from the computer: "Xiaoye, go and call Wu Gong and Zheng Tong for me and ask them to come over as soon as possible. I have something I need to discuss with them."

"Okay." Chen Ye speeded up the pace unconsciously.

A few minutes later, Engineer Wu and Zheng Tong came to the office one after another.

Tan Yue said straight to the point: "Now the gap between "The Godfather" and "Back in Time" is getting smaller and smaller, but there is no guarantee that it will surpass it, and the other party has already started to take action."

Zheng Tong looked a little confused, obviously not knowing that the company behind "Back in Time" had already launched a promotional campaign.

Engineer Wu was very clear, and he had been asking his subordinates to pay attention to the other party's every move. I wanted to come here to report, but I didn't expect that Tan Yue already knew everything.

"My idea is to take advantage of the gap with "Back in Time" getting smaller and smaller, and make a concerted effort to quickly increase the box office of "The Godfather" and become the first."

Engineer Wu nodded and said: "This time point is indeed more favorable for us. We have been paying attention to the comments of netizens from all over the world on the movie. The praise rate of our movie has shown a straight-line upward state, and it is currently faintly surpassing "Back in Time." "

"Then should we continue to expand the publicity?" Zheng Tong took over the topic.

Tan Yue pondered, "Now expanding publicity is indeed the most effective publicity method. Do you two have any suggestions on this publicity?"

Zheng Tongdao: "I see that many foreign films are promoted in various countries around the world by finding some mainstream media, and through the reports of these mainstream media, they can attract the attention of their own countries."

"This is also a way. We have done a lot before, but we can continue to contact those media and let them continue to report." Tan Yue looked at Wu Gong.

Wu Gong replied: "Mr. Tan, do you still remember the publicity method after the release of "Black Fire"?"

"I remember."

"I think we can learn from their publicity strategy. You also know that the box office performance of "Black Fire" has increased significantly in two days, which also proves that this method is more reliable. I believe that with the quality of our movies, the box office performance will definitely be improved by this method."

Tan Yue's fingertips tapped the table: "This publicity method of "Black Fire" is indeed worth learning from, especially for those of us who are not well-known internationally. By finding some international celebrities and local superstars from various countries, and using their fame to promote movies, it is easier to attract the attention of the audience."

Zheng Tong on the side nodded repeatedly, agreeing with this publicity method.

"Okay, we will use this method to promote the next one." Tan Yue made a decision.
