Chapter 835 This Is the Film and Television Industry, Not the Music World!
"You are the head of the Propaganda Department, why are you asking me?"
Chen Qiao looked at him coldly.
At this time, Yang Yu's cell phone rang, and when he saw that the caller was actually a subordinate sitting outside, he hung up and shouted to the outside:
"Xiao Sun, come in directly if you have something to say, why are you calling so recently?"
The little Sun whose name was called was a young man in his twenties. After hesitating, he had no choice but to walk into Yang Yu's office.
Seeing the gloomy faces of the two bosses, Xiao Sun licked his lips nervously, and said in a low voice:
"President Chen, Minister Yang, Aiyao Studio has just released a promotional video for a movie."
"Ai Yao's studio? Make a movie?" Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard it wrong.
Isn't Aiyao studio specialized in releasing songs? When are you making a movie?
"Then Hong Sanshi, Zhang Bo, and Chen Guanghan all forwarded it, and now this Weibo has become a hot search."
Xiao Sun lowered his head and continued with a bitter face.
He was in charge of information collection, so he had to report to the leader immediately after seeing this situation.
However, seeing that his immediate boss was being criticized by the furious Mr. Chen, he certainly didn't dare to go in and make trouble, so he chose to call Yang Yu.
Who knew that Yang Yu was also in a bad mood at this time, so he forcibly pulled him in to back him up.
"I'm asking you, when did Aiyao Studio make a movie?! Why did you report it now?!"
Yang Yu glanced at Chen Qiao's expression, and understood that most of the calls Mr. Chen received just now were about this matter. He was the Minister of Publicity and Distribution. Only when the second wave of publicity for the movie started, did he realize that there was such a competitor. A little too remiss.
In fact, he can't be blamed for this. The production of "Dead End" is so big and the lineup is so strong. In Shen Xin's eyes, there is no rival in the same period.
At most, there is an IP-adapted Xianxia movie on Dajiang's side, which is a little bit resistant.
But that movie doesn't have any big names or top streams, and the gap with "The End of the Road" is not small. In this schedule, at most it will share a little bit of Shen Xin's leftover bones.
As for the other small cost films of the same period,
The people from Shenxin Company didn't even bother to take a look.
There are a few ants in front of the elephant, will the elephant stop and look down?
Therefore, from top to bottom in Shenxin Entertainment, no one paid attention to those few low-cost films that were not even qualified to be called "competitors".
Yang Yu's question now is obviously to blame the leader, but as a low-level social animal, what can Xiao Sun do?
"I'm sorry, Minister Yang, I was negligent."
Xiaosun was so bitter in his heart that he could only bow his head and accept the pot.
"Go and give me detailed information about the movie of Ai Yao Studio. Within half an hour, I want to see all the information about this movie on my desk!"
Yang Yu said sharply.
"yes."
Xiao Sun agreed and hurried out.
"Mr. Chen, look at this..."
Yang Yu asked Chen Qiao with a smile.
"It's only now that we start to collect information on competitors, Yang Yu, how do you do your job?!"
Chen Qiao's anger still did not subside in the slightest.
"Mr. Chen, we've already figured it out before. There really isn't any rival in this schedule that can compete with "Desperate End". You know this too."
Yang Yu explained with a bitter face.
He was right. When determining the schedule of "The End of the Road", Shen Xin's management considered that there would be no blockbuster movies coming online at the end of May and early June, so it was set on May 29th.
And the release time was decided by Chen Qiao himself.
Although the leader has the privilege of throwing the pot away, the pot is too big, and Yang Yu feels that he really can't handle it.
"Hehe, so it's my fault?"
Chen Qiao sneered.
"I don't mean that, Mr. Chen, I just think that with the strength of Aiyao Studio, most of them just want to test the waters with a small cost, and they won't pose any threat to us."
Yang Yu said quickly.
Hearing his words, Chen Qiao's face softened a little, took a sip of the coffee Yang Yu poured himself, frowned and did not speak.
In fact, he made such a big fuss because he didn't really think that the movie of Aiyao Studio would affect the box office of "Desperate End",
It is true that Zhang Xin beat her up early this morning, and then Lin Yao, who originally thought she would retire, made trouble again. It can be said that everything is not going well.
The Propaganda Department just hit the muzzle of the gun and became the target of his venting.
At this time, Xiao Sun, who was extremely efficient, came in with two stacks of materials, handed them to the two bosses respectively, and then quickly escaped.
"Crazy stone?"
Chen Qiao lowered her head and read.
Yang Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, Mr. Chen, do you still remember? I reported it to you at the "Desperate End" finalized discussion meeting in February,
In the same schedule as us, in addition to Dajiang Entertainment's "The Tower of the Demon", there are several small-budget films,
Among them is "Crazy Stone", but the investment of this film is too low, so you may not be impressed. "
Chen Qiao didn't say a word. Of course he remembered this, but the few low-budget films in the same period were really not competitive, so he didn't even remember the name of "Crazy Stone".
They didn't even notice that this movie was invested and made by Aiyao Studio.
When he saw the cast list, he frowned again:
"Director Luo Hao, starring Hong Sanshi, Zhang Bo, Liu Zhenhong... Who are this Luo Hao and Liu Zhenhong?"
Hong Sanshi and Zhang Bo, the two Chen Qiaos, of course knew about it, but they were both old, and relying on their old roots, they were far less popular in the film and television industry than the top-notch fresh meat.
As for the director Luo Hao and the other leading actor Liu Zhenhong, Chen Qiao had never heard of them before, but she just vaguely felt that they sounded familiar.
Yang Yu also looked blank: "I've never heard of these two people."
Then, he pointed to a line on the information and said: "Look, Mr. Chen, we found out that the production cost of this movie was only 3 million when it was reviewed and filed. This should be the lowest-cost movie in the May-June schedule." ?”
Yang Yu couldn't help laughing while talking, 3 million movies, why are you kidding me?
Do you know how much the investment in "Dead End" is?

Four hundred million! !
Throwing 3 million into the set of "Desperate End", you can't even make a splash, okay?
Hong Sanshi and Zhang Bo are also living longer and returning home. The cost is 3 million. How much salary can you two get? Is porridge enough?
Sure enough, it is the dying line of the west mountain!
"But now this movie has caught on with Lin Yao's popularity, so don't be careless."
Chen Qiao's tone slowed down a bit, and her voice was not so gloomy anymore.
Obviously, after fully understanding the specific situation of this "Crazy Stone", he again crossed this film from the list of "competitors".
But he still has to put on a face in front of his subordinates, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke to make such a big fuss just now?
As for "Crazy Stone" and then Lin Yao's popularity on the hot search, it was just a momentary success.
Movies ultimately depend on box office results.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, we will increase our publicity efforts."
Yang Yu saw Chen Qiao's thoughts, and didn't point it out, and quickly followed the leader's words.
"Well, work hard."
After Chen Qiao said something, she left the Publicity Department.
When he entered the elevator, a dazed expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Come to think of it, Zhang Xin just mentioned Luo Hao and Liu Zhenhong, and also mentioned a woman's name, Wang or something.
She said that all three of them were contracted artists of Shenxin Entertainment.
"You'll soon be familiar with their names."
That's what Zhang Xin said at the time.
Chen Qiao shook her head and sneered in her heart.
A few losers who couldn't get along in Shenxin thought they would be able to get ahead by jumping to Ayao?
This is the film and television industry, not the music scene where you, Lin Yao, make all the difference!
Dreaming?
