Chapter 705 Ali's Tyranny! Popular IP Fan Movie, Well-Known Director's New Film and Television Development Strategy!

Chapter 705 Ali's tyranny! Popular IP + fan movies + new film and television development policy of well-known directors!

Although in the eyes of people in the industry, the Shanghai Film Festival is a film festival with high water content and low grade.

But it is undeniable that it is the only A-level film festival currently in China, and in terms of grade, it is even on par with the three major film festivals of Berlin, Cannes and Venice.

Entering the venue, under the guidance of the staff, Chen Fei walked to the front row with the other four people.

Although he decided to attend the Shanghai Film Festival awards ceremony at the last minute, the organizer still arranged a seat for him in the front row where "every inch of land is worth a lot of money".

Chen Fei was still thinking about which unlucky guy was replaced by him, but when he came to the seat, he found that there was a name sticker under his name.

While others were not paying attention, he lifted a corner and took a look.

And when he saw the name "Yu Dong", he was immediately happy.

Fatty Yu is really unlucky. Not only is he dizzy because of his ex-wife, but now he has no seat left.

After calmly pasting the opened corner, Chen Fei looked around.

Compared with the outer field, there are more people entering the inner field, and most of them are in the form of "crews".

For example, "The Love of Silence" by Tang Yan and Zhong Hanliang, "The Splendid Adventure of Jinxiuyuan" by Huang Xiaoming and Chen Qiaoran, "The Legend of Ming Fei" starring Huang Xuan and Tangren's new sister Chen Yao...

In addition to the crew members of these other companies, Chen Fei also saw a group of people from his own crews such as "White Night Chase", "The Journey of Flower", "Nirvana in Fire", and "Red Sorghum".

However, most of the people in these crews are active in the back row of the venue because of their own fame and status, and they are not qualified to sit in the front row.

The most powerful ones are the stars who "returned" from South Korea, as well as the actors, directors, and writers who are constantly marketing their fans.

Looking at Lu Han, Wu Yifan, Guo Jingming and others who were surrounded, Wang Changtian on the side couldn't help but sigh: "Fans have followed them to the award ceremony, isn't that great?"

"Haha, this is just the beginning?"

Fade Chen shook his head and looked at the group of unfamiliar faces on the left side of the venue.

From the way these people were dressed and the discussions of the people around them, he quickly determined their identities.

Without exception, all of them were from Internet companies,

Penguin, Alibaba, Baidu, Sohu...

Perhaps because he noticed his gaze, Ye Ning suddenly came over and said with emotion: "You came back a few days late and failed to participate in the previous exchange meeting. These Internet companies are ambitious!"

Chen Fei smiled slightly: "I have heard of it. The Summit Forum of New Thinking in Internet Film and Television and Traditional Film and Television Culture, right?"

"Yes." Ye Ning's eyes were extremely complicated: "Winning over, suppressing, competing... These people are really ill-intentioned, even more terrible than piracy!"

In fact, Chen Fei's name was also on the invitation list of this forum, but he was filming in South Africa at the time and had no time to come back to participate.

So, Su Guohai became his representative and attended this "Summit Forum".

At the first moment after the meeting, Chen Fei had received the news.

Su Guohai's original words were: "That group of people prepared a PPT of tens of thousands of words, claiming that the traditional film and television industry has exhausted its potential, the production model is too backward, the content is conservative and old-fashioned, the innovation ability is extremely poor, the market development is slow, and the famous directors and actors are all complacent.

After suppressing it, they said that the Internet is the future of the film and television industry. They will inject new vitality into the traditional film and television industry in the future, give it new thinking, and transform it.

The strategy to implement this method is, popular IP + fan movies + well-known directors..."

At that time, after listening to it, Chen Fei only had three words in his mind.

Getting money!

The PPT looks very high-end, but in fact, it is essentially to use data to analyze which actor is more popular, which screenwriter's work is more popular, and which director is more capable, and then combine these to hype, and finally make a big hodgepodge, and let fans pay for it.

The simplest example is to spend a lot of money to let Chen Fei direct the "Tiny Times" series of movies, and then the starring team uses Liu Yifei, Wu Yifan, Yang Mi, Lu Han, Yang Ying, and other actors.

Just ask, after seeing this lineup, which fan can not be excited?

And this is the result created by "popular IP + fan movie + well-known director".

At that conference, Alibaba's people brought up Marvel as an example, and also used words such as big data, fan movie, and precision feeding.

In the end, they even shouted the slogan "The film industry will no longer be a high-risk industry from now on", which directly confused the practitioners in the traditional film industry at the scene.

Even when Su Guohai was on the phone with Chen Fei, he repeatedly raised the question of whether the strategy mentioned by Alibaba was feasible.

It has to be said that the brainwashing level of these Internet companies is really awesome!

In response, Chen Fei's reply was simple: "Feiyue Film and Television has a huge film and television copyright library. We are not short of good scripts, good directors, and good actors.

We have theaters, platforms, animation production business, special effects production business, two large IP platforms, Shanda Literature and Jinjiang, and even downstream platforms such as MiHoYo and Youyaoqi Comics.

We are already in an invincible position, so why should we support those Internet companies?

Even if they get out of the game, they can just pat their butts and leave, and they can continue to torment the Internet. But if we get involved, if we fail, it will be a dead end! "

It was this long paragraph that directly dragged Su Guohai back.

In a daze, he finally realized that compared to the foundation built by Feiyue Film and Television, those Internet companies were just younger brothers.

During this period, those Internet companies came to visit one after another. Didn’t they just want to bring the giant Feiyue Film and Television into the scene and bundle them into the same boat?

But is it necessary for Feiyue Film and Television to do this?

Feiyue Film and Television has popular IPs and well-known directors. As for fan movies, can they compare to high-quality blockbusters?

A "Taking the Tiger Mountain" and another "The Martian" have left the Internet companies to chase them. Can they catch up?

After thinking about it, the first thing Su Guohai did was to stop contacting the representatives sent by the Internet companies and blocked them all outside the company.

Seeing that they could not break through the big wall of Feiyue Film and Television, a group of Internet companies went to Huayi again.

When facing these Internet companies, the two Wang brothers had no resistance at all and were easily defeated.

In today's Shanghai Film Festival, Wang Zhonglei sat next to Ali. The two of them laughed heartily from time to time, and the conversation was smooth and happy.

Similarly, there were many people leaning over like Hua Yi, and most of these people were sitting near Ali, as if they were die-hard loyalists.

It is normal for this situation to occur. After all, Alibaba is now the leader in the Internet industry, steadily suppressing Penguin, and Ma Yun is now a god-like existence, with "fans" all over the country.

But in Chen Fei's view, this guy has always been playing with the rest of Jewish capital.

It is indeed very useful to transport this set to the country, but as time goes by, he will eventually show his flaws.

…

The awards ceremony was actually nothing interesting to watch. Without the interference of external forces, the Shanghai Film Festival returned to its "advocating foreigners and favoring foreigners" status.

The seven awards in the main competition section, except for the Jury Prize and the Best Cinematography Award, all other awards were taken away by foreign films.

As for the Asian Newcomer Award category, not a single domestic film won the award.

The only thing that caught Chen Fei's attention was the Movie Channel Media Awards unit.

Xiao Yang unexpectedly won the Best New Director Award for "Oldboy: The Dragon Crosses the River", which made many people at the scene pay some attention to the director who sang "Little Apple".

The final closing ceremony film played "Transformers 4" directed by Michael Bay.

Halfway through the movie, Chen Fei noticed that Wang Changtian's entire face had collapsed. It was obvious that he had even less confidence in "The Breakup Master".

When the entire award ceremony officially came to an end, the audience burst into warm applause.

Regardless of their mood, everyone at the scene was happy and happy.

Chen Fei yawned, stood up, said hello to several people around him, and then prepared to walk out of the venue.

In fact, there was a large banquet coming next, but he had no interest in attending it.

At his current level, there is no need for meaningless entertainment, and counting all the guests in the entire venue, there is no one worthy of him fawning over or catering to.

However, before he could take a few steps out, a voice suddenly shouted from behind: "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."

"Um?"

Chen Fei stood still, turned around, and looked to the back.

The next second, a middle-aged man with a fat body and some bald heads came towards him with a smile.

Before the person arrived, his hand was already stretched out: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Zhang Hao, the co-president of Alibaba Pictures."

Out of courtesy, Chen Fei shook hands with him.

He had no intention of chatting with this person, so he asked directly: "Hello, what's the matter?"

Zhang Hao didn't seem to expect Chen Fei's attitude to be so cold. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "Is it convenient now, Mr. Chen? Why don't we find a place to sit?"

Chen Fei shook his head: "I'm sorry, I have something to do later. If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"Tomorrow will be fine too." Zhang Hao seemed to be persevering.

"I'm going to the crew for filming tomorrow."

Seeing that Chen Fei was not getting enough, the smile on Zhang Hao's face faded.

After looking left and right, and confirming that the Penguin and Baidu people were only paying attention to this side and not surrounding them, he said briefly:

"Mr. Chen may have some misunderstandings about Alibaba. Our people have wanted to discuss cooperation with you many times, but they have been turned away time and time again..."

Chen Fei had a smile on his face, but his tone sounded a bit distant: "Mr. Zhang may not be aware that Feiyue Film and Television currently has no plans to cooperate with Internet companies."

Zhang Wei was a little anxious and spoke very fast: "We have money, channels, resources, big data, and can lead..."

Chen Fei interrupted directly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, as you said, I seem to be lacking everything."

"..."

Seeing a big piece of fat meat placed in front of him, but unable to eat it, Zhang Hao felt extremely uncomfortable.

He only lacks an opportunity now. As long as he can break through the barriers of Feiyue Film and Television, even if it is just one of the smallest projects, he can encroach step by step and directly turn Feiyue Film and Television into Alibaba's Feiyue Film and Television.

However, Chen Fei didn't give him this chance at all.

Zhang Hao still refused to give up and tried hard to deceive: "Feiyue Film and Television is the top in the domestic film and television industry, and we at Alibaba are the leader among Internet companies.

As long as we cooperate, whether it is financing and listing or promoting new projects in the future, it will become easy..."

Chen Fei shrugged, raised his arms and crossed his chest, smiling and joking: "We can do this without Ali."

This is a fact recognized by the industry, and Zhang Hao has no reason to refute it.

And according to Chen Fei, there is absolutely no possibility of cooperation between the two parties. They can only be rivals in the future, and there is no possibility of becoming friends.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye also felt angry.

Once this person is proud for a long time, he will not be able to suppress his inner arrogance.

He put away his smile and said to Chen Fei without any shame: "Since there is no possibility of cooperation, I wish Mr. Chen and Feiyue Film and Television a happy journey.

Alibaba's film and television drama projects will be launched within a year or two. I hope we don't run into them. It would be embarrassing if this broke the undefeated myth of Feiyue Film and Television. "

At this moment, Ali's tyranny was fully demonstrated in Zhang Hao.

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Fei suddenly laughed out loud, attracting many people around him to look at him.

He leaned forward slightly, stared at Zhang Hao with the same look that Rebus had when he looked at Zhou Hongwei, and said word by word: "I am looking forward to that day.

I also hope that Alibaba can put some pressure on Feiyue Film and Television so that we can continue to make progress. After all... the feeling of not having an opponent is really boring. "

Not far away, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, Gu Yongqiang and others who faintly heard the commotion came towards this side, their sharp eyes fixed on Zhang Hao.

Ali is well-known in the industry for being domineering, and several people are worried that Chen Fei will suffer due to his young age.

It's just that before they could get closer, they saw Zhang Hao's face turned gloomy and he quickly walked towards Ali's lineup.

"What's going on? Why do I think the atmosphere between you two is not quite right?"

Wang Changtian came closer and looked at Chen Fei curiously.

"It's nothing. He's just an arrogant and domineering guy who is used to hearing obedient words and suddenly feels deflated. He's just venting his dissatisfaction."

Chen Fei didn't take Alibaba Pictures seriously at all, and they actually wanted to snipe at the film and television works produced by Feiyue Films, which was laughable.

Wang Changtian patted his chest very generously: "If you need help, just ask."

Chen Fei looked back at him and specifically warned: "Ali is currently making plans for Youku. The light must be steady and they must not find a breakthrough."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I would never give it away while holding the money jar."

Since piracy has been cracked down one by one, the industry's rating of Youku has continued to improve.

No company is greedy for this video playback platform that holds many film and television copyrights.

It's a pity that Chen Fei is very tight-lipped and doesn't reveal even a grain of rice to the outside world. This makes many companies jealous, but there is nothing they can do about it.

And Wang Changtian finally caught a ride, how could he jump off the ride?

Maybe, the market value of Youku will even be higher than that of Raytheon in the future. He is not stupid, how could he throw away this "money printing machine".

…

The day after the closing ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival, news spread online.

"It is reported that during the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival, Alibaba Pictures led a group of Internet companies to propose a new film and television production model of popular IP + fan movies + well-known directors, which shocked many filmmakers in the traditional production industry."

"A new era in the film and television industry is coming. Popular IP will become the core resource for competition, and big data will be one of the most important trump cards in the film and television industry in the future!"

"Director Chen Fei made a surprise appearance at the awards ceremony, and all the cast members of "Avengers 2" have gathered in Shanghai."

"According to relevant insiders, after the closing ceremony of the movie, director Chen Fei was suspected of suddenly having a dispute with Alibaba Pictures President Zhang Hao. The two were tit for tat, and the atmosphere was very tense for a time."

"The latest inside story is that Feiyue Film and Television is no longer in contact with any Internet companies and is suspected to be very opposed to the integration of the new Internet film and television industry..."

There are divergent opinions on the Internet, with various judgments and discussions resounding under many topics.

Chen Fei didn't pay attention to these at all, because Weibo would handle the comments that should be controlled for him, and the rest were insignificant.

"Avengers 2" still needs two days of preparation before it can be launched, so he plans to attend the China premiere of "Transformers 4" first, and then visit the "Ready Player One Dream Theme Park" under construction.

But he never thought that before he could set off, a piece of news suddenly occupied the headlines of major entertainment news websites.

The day after the Magic City International Film Festival awards ceremony, brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei suddenly held a press conference and officially announced:

"Feng Xiaogang Film Commune, a Feng Xiaogang film theme town with a total investment of 5.5 billion yuan by Huayi and covering an area of ​​1,400 acres, has officially opened!"

When this news was announced, as expected, the entire entertainment industry went wild!

And Huayi's stock price rose in response, and the company's market value soared all the way, charging towards 30 billion yuan!

At this moment, Wang Zhonglei's slogan of "de-monopolization of movies" at the company's annual meeting seemed to have achieved great success!
