Chapter 1082 Will You Accept Defeat? Warm Congratulations: Chinese-Language Films Have Officially Entered the 5 Billion Box Office Era!

Chapter 1082 Willing to gamble... and admit defeat? Warm congratulations: Chinese-language films have officially entered the 5 billion box office era!

"Sign these two confidentiality agreements and this non-compete agreement."

In the CEO office of Alibaba Pictures, the new president Fan Luyuan pushed the black-framed glasses on his nose and pushed a total of three agreements in front of Zhang Qi.

Staring at the man in front of him and the seat that originally belonged to him, Zhang Qi's eyebrows trembled, and his mood was very complicated.

He thought about the ending after he lost, but he never thought that it would be such a result.

But now that things have come to this, losing is losing, there is nothing to say, he can't interfere with the decision of the board of directors, and if they want him to leave, then he must leave!

First, he opened the two confidentiality agreements and took a look. He didn't say much and signed his name silently.

The subsequent non-compete agreement was marked with a two-year term, which is also in line with laws and regulations, and the company will also give him subsidies and compensation for this, so there is nothing to worry about.

In less than five minutes, he had signed all the agreements.

However, the next second, he was stunned, because Fan Luyuan said again: "The maximum term of the non-compete agreement is two years, but the board of directors hopes that you will not work in related industries within five years."

Zhang Qi frowned, and a strong questioning appeared on his face: "Why?"

"Two reasons."

Fan Luyuan raised two fingers and explained patiently: "First, because you understand the future operation mode of Alibaba Pictures, and the next five years are the most important period of Alibaba Pictures. We cannot cause problems in our operations because of your personal reasons.

Second, Zhao Yanzi has been banned from the securities market for five years, so you are the same, and you are not allowed to enter the relevant industry within five years."

"That woman went to see Mr. Ma?" Zhang Qi was stunned and surprised.

"Well, she is going through the divorce procedure. As for the related events later, I'm sorry that I can't continue to talk to you about this matter in depth."

After Fan Luyuan finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Zhang Qi subconsciously opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Having worked with Alibaba Pictures for such a long time, he knows Alibaba's tyranny and dictatorship too well.

Since the other party said it was 5 years, it must be 5 years, even if the non-compete agreement was only signed for 2 years...

He couldn't refuse, because he made more money with Alibaba than he could have made in most of his life, so now he had to listen to other people's requests!

However, after leaving the office and taking the elevator, he still felt unspeakably depressed and frustrated.

Originally, he could enter this industry again in 2 years, but because of that stupid woman, he had to add 3 more years...

The key is that Mr. Ma actually agreed!

So, the woman's request can be met, and after he is no longer useful, can he be thrown away like a rotten shoe?

Thinking of this, he felt more and more unhappy.

But because of the signing of the confidentiality agreement, he couldn't say anything, and could only let everything rot in his heart, rot completely, and be buried in the coffin after his death!

Arriving at the underground garage and getting into the car, he took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo as usual.

Looking around, all the comments under his personal Weibo were asking him to "accept defeat". And because he had been handing over work these two days, the comment area was completely out of control.

"Accept defeat?"

Thinking that he would enter this industry again in 5 years, and if nothing unexpected happened, he should still be a helmsman in a film and television company, he finally made a decision!

Admitting defeat openly is a kind of freedom and courage, and it can also pave the way for his return...

But if he does nothing, he will be like a coward!

Thinking of this, he immediately switched to the background of his personal account and typed a paragraph:

"Although there were big problems with my strategy in the operation of the film version of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", so that the box office results were greatly wrong.

However, cooperating with well-known directors, reserving and developing popular and original IPs, cooperating with traffic stars and powerful actors, and focusing on the training and support of young directors and actors, this "big IP plan" is definitely the right development goal!

And where I failed was that I failed to form absolute control and supervision over the quality of the film, which is exactly why "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" failed!

In short, losing is losing, I admit this! But I only lost in the quality of the film, not in the overall plan..."

Clicking "Send", Zhang Qi started the car and drove towards home.

He will not appear in China in the next 5 years. He will move abroad with his family and come back after 5 years to continue to expand his new business.

…

“Zhang Qiong admitted defeat!”

On the afternoon of the 17th, a hot search with only 5 words directly rushed to the top of the Weibo entertainment hot search list, attracting countless people's attention.

After lasting for more than a year, this bet from Chen Fei and Zhang Qiong's verbal agreement finally came to an end with the latter's failure.

For a time, many people in and outside the industry who love to "eat melons" gathered around and began to "taste" this delicious melon.

While "tasting", everyone also did not forget to comment:

"Although this guy has admitted defeat, why does he still feel unconvinced?"

"It's normal. Just like you made a bet with your friend, but you lost in the end. Are you completely convinced? You must have some excuse for your failure, right?"

"Director Chen has won another great victory. I am very happy and congratulated, hahaha!"

"I don't know if Fan Luyuan, who succeeded Zhang Wei, is capable? Don't stretch your hips even more than the former, that would be embarrassing."

"Who knows? Anyway, I personally feel that the entire Alibaba system is weird. Except for Taobao and Alipay Finance, everything else seems to be achieving nothing, and everything is just big thunder and small rain."

"I wonder when Director Chen will read this article about admitting defeat? Haha, he is still abroad at the moment. I'm afraid it will be late at night, right?"

"Come on, guys! Go crazyx-on:him!"

~

The next day, Chen Fei was woken up by the ringtone of his cell phone.

He pressed the connect button in a daze, and after listening to Ning Hao's words on the other end of the phone, he suddenly woke up.

"Huh? I thought that guy was going to continue pretending to be dead, but I didn't expect that he actually stood up and admitted defeat."

On the other end of the phone, Ning Hao said with emotion: "Anyway, I never expected that just because of such an incident, Alibaba Pictures would directly change its CEO! This elimination system is quite cruel!"

"It's normal. Although Zhang Hao has nearly 30 years of experience in the film and television media industry, he is a business-oriented talent, and Alibaba Pictures now needs more pioneering and entrepreneurial leadership.

Although he made an indelible contribution to the founding of Alibaba Pictures, he did not appear in the most suitable position at the most suitable time, so his departure was inevitable. "

Ning Hao was a little confused when he heard it, and couldn't help but muttered: "Anyway, I just think their methods are quite ruthless, they just do it when they say it, and they don't care about any love."

"It's normal for Internet companies. Unless they are at the level of the founder, no one is irreplaceable."

After chatting for a while, Chen Fei got out of bed and got ready to get dressed, while changing the topic: "How far is your casting for "Crazy Alien" going? If it's almost done, send a notice."

Recently, a lot of people have called me and want me to put in a good word. It's annoying me to death. "

Ning Haole said: "Haha, okay, the contract and everything will be settled in three days at the latest. Don't be impatient and be patient."

"Okay, okay, that's it, I have to go to the set."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei went to Weibo to take a look at the article posted by Zhang Hao.

It can be clearly seen that Zhang Hao is very unwilling.

But what's the use of not being willing?

Failure was already a certainty, and there was nothing he could do to make a comeback!

Unless Zhang Hao can find the medicine for regret now, or find a time travel machine, go back to a few years ago, and nip the gambling issue in the bud.

Otherwise, losing to Chen Fei will definitely accompany him for the rest of his life!

After more than a month of filming, "Manchester by the Sea" has officially entered the finishing stage of the final scenes.

Sitting behind the monitor, Chen Fei watched the scene between Leonardo and Matt Damon without blinking.

Joe Chandler, played by DiCaprio, looked at the dark and cramped basement in front of him with shock written on his face.

Because he couldn't imagine that his brother actually lived in such an environment!

A thin bed board and a folding table were all here. He really felt sorry for his brother's experience.

He wanted to buy some furniture for his younger brother, but was rejected. He couldn't resist his younger brother, so he had to get up and leave with his son.

But the next day, he brought some furniture to the basement and filled it with his son Xiaopa, hoping to bring some warmth and comfort to his brother's new life.

When the two were talking outside, Joe's expression contained a mixture of emotions - both sympathy for his brother's misfortune and helplessness at his own inability to change the situation.

Although the dialogue between the two seems short and plain, it conveys the deep brotherhood between the characters through subtle eye contact and body language.

Especially when Joe reached out to hug Li, this hug was not just a simple physical contact, but also a kind of emotional transmission and comfort.

At the moment of the hug, Joe's eyes revealed a kind of warmth and determination, as if telling his brother: "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

But Li seemed a little hesitant and at a loss... This reaction truly reflected the struggle and pain in his inner world...

He couldn't get out. The child's departure had completely ruined his life, and he would never be able to get rid of the guilt in his life.

"Cut!"

As Chen Fei's voice sounded, everyone on the crew knew that "Manchester by the Sea" was about to be finished.

"Okay, let's stop here today. Then there is a more important police station scene. We will try to finish it in one day tomorrow. There will be a scene that needs to be re-recorded in the morning the day after tomorrow. Once it is completed, it can be officially completed. .

If anyone has a tight schedule, you can book tickets now and leave as soon as filming is completed, because I am not planning to hold a finishing press conference. As for the celebration banquet... let’s wait until we get the award. "

This is undoubtedly a piece of news worth celebrating, but there was not much cheering at the scene.

Because this movie is so "sad"!

There was almost no joyful atmosphere in the daily shooting content, so everyone was under great pressure!

Fortunately, it was about to be finished, which also relieved everyone's tense mood.

"Fei, I think I have to leave early. "Distant Mountain Lovers" is about to be released, and I have to go with the crew to promote it."

Kate Winslet stepped forward and whispered about her schedule and arrangements.

"Well, okay, then you go first."

The female lead's role had been finished yesterday. Kate Winslet could leave at any time, and Chen Fei certainly would not stop her.

Then, the crew began to return to the hotel to rest.

After dinner, Chen Fei rejected Leonardo's invitation to play cards together, returned to the room, opened Weibo, and checked the hot search news in China for the new day.

Not surprisingly, today's entertainment section has been completely dominated by "Wolf Warrior 2"!

"As of 12:00 yesterday morning, the military-themed masterpiece "Wolf Warrior 2", which has been released for a total of 22 days and is produced by Feiyue Films and starred by Wu Jing, has officially exceeded the 5 billion yuan mark in the cumulative box office, with a total of 5.027 billion yuan!"

"Warm congratulations to the Chinese-language film box office for officially entering the '5 billion box office era'! Congratulations to "Wolf Warrior 2"! Congratulations to Chinese-language films!"

"The Film Bureau issued a congratulatory letter: "Wolf Warrior 2" box office officially exceeded the 5 billion yuan mark. This milestone achievement not only demonstrates the huge potential of the Chinese film market, but also marks a significant improvement in the quality and influence of domestic films!"

"China Film Group issued a congratulatory letter: We look forward to more excellent domestic films emerging in the future and contributing to the prosperity and development of the Chinese film market."

"Ministry of National Defense issued: The Chinese film market needs more "Wolf Warrior 2"!"

"People's Daily..."

"People's Daily..."

Looking around, the Internet is as lively as the New Year!

All major mainstream media, entertainment newspapers, local newspapers, online newspapers, entertainment information platforms, etc., have been covered by the news that "Wolf Warrior 2" has broken the 5 billion box office.

Netizens are even more excited to express their opinions:

"Fuck! It's awesome! It broke the 5 billion box office in 22 days! This movie is even more awesome than "Operation Red Sea"!"

"I just want to say one thing, 'Feiyue's production! Must be a masterpiece'!"

"The box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has broken 5 billion, and "Operation Red Sea" has broken 4 billion. There are a lot of movies with a box office of 3 billion...Fuck! Feiyue Film and Television is definitely No. 1 among domestic private film and television companies!"

"5 billion yuan, converted into US dollars, it's more than 800 million. Wow, this movie will not get the global box office this year. No.1, right? "

"It's definitely no problem to be the first in China, but don't count on the global box office. Despicable Me 3 made $997 million, Star Wars: A Star Wars Story made $1.033 billion, Fast & Furious 8 made $1.182 billion, Beauty and the Beast made $1.256 billion... How can you win?"

"Brother upstairs, don't let others' ambitions grow and destroy your own prestige. Wolf Warrior 2 is a very good start. I believe there will be more excellent domestic blockbusters in the future!"

There are constant discussions online, and at this time, colleagues in the film and television industry are all staring with eyes wide open, full of disbelief!

China Film.

Seeing that the hot search news of The Founding of an Army was forced to be removed by the theaters was crushed by Wolf Warrior 2, La Peikang's mood was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even describe it.

Look at others, they have a full 5.027 billion!

Look at yourself, the box office result of 407 million is so dazzling that you can't even describe it.

"Alas, now we can only hope that after the release of "Shanghai Fortress", the share price of China Film can be pulled up."

After muttering a few words to himself, La Peikang got up again, went downstairs and drove to the shooting site of "Shanghai Fortress".

He must follow up this movie in person to ensure that there are no problems!

At the same time, on the Alibaba Pictures side.

After signing a contract with Jingxi Culture and officially forming a strategic partnership, Fan Luyuan and Song Ge talked about the movie "Wolf Warrior 2".

"I have to say that Feiyue Film and Television is indeed a very strong opponent! Any film released at the same time as it is almost impossible to escape suppression..."

Unlike Fan Luyuan's solemn mood, Song Ge was in a good mood at this time.

"Just try to avoid it?" He said, and added cheerfully: "The era of 5 billion box office is here, which means that when we push the box office of movies higher in the future, it will not be so abrupt, which is a good thing!"

At this moment, all he thought about was "The Three Kingdoms of the Gods".

Originally, he was thinking that after the trilogy was released, it would be enough to push the box office of each part to 3 billion.

But now, it seems that pushing it to 4 billion is also possible, and it won’t be too abrupt, after all, Chinese-language films have entered the 5 billion box office era.

In fact, as listed companies, whether it is Alibaba Pictures or Jingxi Culture, they do not make money from movie box office revenue, but mainly rely on the stock market.

The better the stock market response, the more they will make. This is one of the fundamental reasons why Alibaba Pictures engages in big data, ppt, and hypes popular movies.

But if we can increase the movie box office while maintaining traffic and popularity, then we can naturally make more money from the stock market!

This is also the reason why Alibaba Pictures and Jingxi Culture cooperated.

The former controls traffic and big data, while the latter is very good at hype and various box office manipulations. Together, they can be said to be "invincible"!

"Director Fan." Song Ge suddenly turned his head, his eyes fell on Fan Luyuan, and asked curiously: "So what route is Alibaba Pictures planning to take next?"

Zhang Hao's path has failed, and it has also proven that it is difficult for him to follow that path, so Alibaba Pictures naturally has to formulate new strategic goals.

Fan Luyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, pushed up his eye frames, and uttered five words:

"Main theme blockbuster!"
