Chapter 105 Director Feng, I suggest you report it directly
"A Date with Lu Yu" is a recording, and it will take a few days for the topic to form.
After the interview, Zhang Chen refused Lu Yu’s request to treat him to dinner. He had to rush to the press conference non-stop.
Yes, today Star Entertainment held a media conference with only one purpose, to announce how they will curb piracy.
If "Shark Tank" wants to have a box office of over 100 million in an unpopular period, theater arrangement, media promotion and curbing piracy are all indispensable.
At this stage, whether anyone pirates your movie is actually a weather vane. If someone pirates your movie, it means you have become popular.
Pirates are always the ones who understand the market best.
But they do great damage to the market.
"Hero" had the box office of "Hero" not exceeded 100 million yuan if Zhang Weiping had not adopted a person-to-person approach to prevent copies from flowing into the piracy market.
It was also Zhang Weiping's initiative to release DVDs within a week of the movie's release, also to combat piracy.
From this perspective, Zhang Weiping has made contributions to the domestic film industry.
At least it opens up an idea for everyone.
There is no way to prevent piracy. It depends on whether you can do it or not.
……
Conference site
The media reporters were already in place, and Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang stepped onto the podium.
"Thank you all media friends for attending this press conference. I am Zhang Chen from Xingchen Entertainment..."
After finishing the opening remarks and waiting for reporters to take photos, Zhang Chen continued: " I have called you all here today mainly to announce something.
My new movie "Shark Beach" has been finalized and will be officially released with you on the 19th of next month. I can say with certainty here, This is a better movie than "Into the Dark"
Although it is not a horror movie, it is far more exciting than the former. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a lot of chatter below, and many reporters raised their hands to ask questions.
Zhang Chen calmed down and said, "Please be patient, everyone. There will be a special question-and-answer session later. I haven't finished talking yet."
After the crowd gradually became quiet, Zhang Chen spoke again. He said: "In addition, the mainland audio and video rights of "Shark Beach" have been sold to Zhongkai Audio and Video, and the DVD will be officially released 15 days after the release of "Shark Beach"."
This news is nothing. Reporters continue to wait for the next chapter.
“Secondly, in order to curb the outflow of piracy, we, Star Entertainment, have officially issued a reward. Please ask our CEO, Mr. Dong Jianqiang, to announce the specific content to everyone~”
Zhang Chen took two steps back, and Dong Jianqiang took Zhang Chen's place.
This is also Dong Jianqiang’s first appearance after joining Star Entertainment.
He adjusted the height of the microphone: "In order to ensure that the movie will not be affected by piracy during the release period, Star Entertainment decided to spend a lot of money to "offer a reward" and invite colleagues from all walks of life to join us in combating piracy.
As of December 3, if anyone reports pirated dealers to Xingchen Entertainment, after investigation and handling, Xingchen Entertainment will reward you with a standard of 0.5 yuan per set of "Shark Beach" based on the actual quantity seized, which will be cashed out within 3 days. . ”
Dong Jianqiang made a emphatically "three" gesture.
"In addition, anyone who reports and assists us in catching the "Shark Beach" pirated production line will be rewarded with RMB 300,000, which will also be cashed within 3 days.
And we, Xingchen Entertainment, guarantee that the reporter will be punished. The identity will be kept confidential, and the above promises will be fulfilled. "
Wow~
As soon as Dong Jianqiang finished speaking, things started to explode.
Zhang Chen returned to the microphone again: "Okay, now is the time for questions. If you have any questions, you can raise your hands~"
As soon as he finished speaking, a forest of hands immediately appeared below.
Zhang Chen casually clicked on one: "Excuse me, Director Zhang, can your company really do what you just said?"
Zhang Chen smiled: "We are not kidding, Manager Dong. As I said, I will keep my promise and all rewards will be fulfilled within three days."
Another reporter asked directly: "Director Zhang, is this a new look for Xingchen Entertainment?"< br>
Zhang Chen immediately said: "Of course, the new picture has set a precedent for film and television companies to prevent piracy, and we very much recognize this. What I didn't mention just now, we will also show it in "Shark Beach" just like the new picture. At that time, we hired a large number of part-time workers to guard the theater to prevent copies from leaking out~"
In short, Zhang Chen had one idea, labor and management were serious about it this time.
Whoever pirates "Shark Beach" is my enemy. I will kill you even if I kill a thousand enemies and hurt myself eight hundred times.
Generally speaking, movie box office is related to five major factors: theater chain, publicity, schedule, stars, and curbing piracy.
Zhang Chen still doesn’t believe it. He has achieved four of the five major factors. Can the box office still exceed 100 million?
Then a reporter asked a question that had nothing to do with "Shark Beach".
"I would like to ask Director Zhang Chen, what do you think of Director Feng Xiaogang's scolding of reporters yesterday?"
Zhang Chen looked confused.
Feng Xiaogang scolded reporters? What's going on?
He looked at Dong Jianqiang next to him, and Dong Jianqiang immediately came up to him: "Sorry, today is a press conference about the final release of "Shark Beach", and we will not answer topics unrelated to this."
The reporter was unwilling to give in: "Director Zhang Chen, please answer~"
Other reporters were also making noises. Zhang Chen looked at Dong Jianqiang again. He didn't know what the specific matter was. Dong Jianqiang told him the cause and effect of the matter.
It turns out that in October, when "A World Without Thieves" was being promoted in advance, Feng Xiaogang and Huayi President Wang Zhonglei were being interviewed in a movie theater. They pointed at one of the reporters and yelled, "I want to smoke." you"!
This happened yesterday, but Zhang Chen was busy all day yesterday and didn't receive any news at all.
But he had heard of it in his previous life.
The reason was that a media called "Celebrity Bigstar" broke the news about the home addresses of many celebrities, including Feng Xiaogang's family.
The newspaper sold very well after its release, and many people took out copies of this part of the newspaper and sold them, calling it the "Star Map."
This has led to a very bad consequence, that is, what Feng Xiaogang said is that there is always a "psycho" hanging around their door.
Think about it, it’s really scary.
When Feng Xiaogang was being interviewed, he saw that he was from "Bigstar" and his temper immediately rose. He accused the other party of why he did this?
"Bigstar" is also a troublemaker. Not only does he not admit his mistakes, but he also goes crazy for last hits: This shows that our sales are good. Only then did Feng Xiaogang curse.
Speaking of this, it’s really fucked up.
Anyone whose home address is exposed in the media will definitely be anxious. Although Feng cursed, there was a reason for it, and it was deliberately provoked by "Bigstar".
Zhang Chen looked hesitant. In his heart, he definitely supported Feng Xiaogang, but he did not want to offend the media too much.
The media at this stage is still very powerful. It is impossible to say that it is the uncrowned king, but it can definitely confuse right and wrong.
Moreover, they are in the entertainment industry and are extremely dependent on these media resources.
Don’t think that the media is easy to mess with, it’s really not easy to mess with.
In the original time and space, because of this incident, "A World Without Thieves" did not hold any press conference, because it was said that the media wanted to ban him.
Not only Feng Xiaogang was abused by the media, but also Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi won the Golden Eagle Award for Favorite Actress for "Little Swallow". At that time, she didn't know that there would be an interview session after the award, and she kept reporters waiting for half an hour.
Then when she learned the news and rushed over, she was scolded by reporters from the moment she entered the door. No matter how she apologized, it was useless. She just kept scolding her until she cried.
Zhao Yanzi was so popular at that time. "Huan Zhuge Ge" was popularly broadcast on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. Zhao Yanzi was the well-deserved number one in popularity.
I have to endure this and apologize to the reporters with a smile on my face.
No way, as a star, what you need most is exposure.
If you offend the media, they will block you collectively and prevent you from being exposed. In a few months, no one will know who you are.
Then, after a year or two, you will be out of date.
It is difficult to praise a star, but it is really easy to destroy a star.
This is what the entertainment industry is like.
So Zhang Chen didn’t want to offend the reporter, but he was unwilling to let him say anything against his will.
"Sorry, let me say it again, this is the press conference of "Shark Beach", and we will not answer questions unrelated to this."
Dong Jianqiang obviously knew the key and repeatedly avoided it.
But the reporter seemed to be at loggerheads and kept insisting.
Other reporters also watched the excitement and kept taking photos with their flashlights.
Zhang Chen was quite annoyed. This guy obviously came here to cause trouble today. When he did this, the topic was all about Feng Xiaogang's beating. Who would pay attention to "Shark Beach".
That's pretty fucked up.
Then I saw the logo on this guy's microphone - "Bigstar".
What the hell.
What if Feng Xiaogang is not satisfied yet and wants to start a new wave of labor and management?
Zhang Chen also lost his temper, cleared his throat, and regardless of Dong Jianqiang's obstruction, he said: "Originally, I shouldn't answer this question, but since the reporter insists, I will tell you my point of view. ”
The reporters did not expect that Zhang Chen would really answer. Realizing that there was going to be big news, they were collectively excited, and the cameras and microphones all pointed at Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen waited for a few seconds and finally spoke: "I just learned the whole story from Manager Dong. A media exposed the home addresses of many celebrities, including Director Feng's. Then Director Feng got angry and said that there were A suspicious person hangs around their door every day and curses reporters in anger. Is this the case?"
Seeing the reporters below nodding, Zhang Chen added: "Director Feng must have cursed people. No, but I think exposing a celebrity’s home address is more extreme. To be serious, it already involves revealing personal privacy.”
As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, the reporter from “Bigstar” immediately stopped. After doing it, he retorted: "But the public has the right to know."
Zhang Chen didn't tolerate him: "First of all, do you understand what the right to know is?"
Then he glanced at To everyone: "Everyone can understand what the right to know is, but I won't explain it here.
There's no use in waffling.
Regarding this matter, I would like to give Director Feng a suggestion. You can report directly to the National Press and Publication Administration with your real name. If you are not enough by yourself, you can get all the victims to jointly report.
The nature of this matter is very bad.
It is true that public figures serve as role models and should accept public supervision.
It is true that the media has the role of public opinion supervision.
If that star has gained popularity and gained popularity, and you expose him, I will support it with all my hands and feet.
But it is very inappropriate to expose someone’s home address for no reason just for the sake of sales.
Celebrities are also human beings. Just because he is in the spotlight does not mean that his family members must also live in the spotlight.
Here I can predict with certainty that if the country does not care about this matter today, then tomorrow it will not only be the home address, but the phone number of celebrities. There must be celebrities and entertainers, but there must also be officials and them. family members, which will cause great instability to society. ”
Zhang Chen is really not an alarmist. This thing really happened. In the second year after the address was exposed, more than 600 celebrities’ phone numbers were leaked.
It was also because of this incident that celebrities collectively protested, and the General Information Administration made regulations so that the media no longer dared to report so unscrupulously.
It’s just that what Zhang Chen said now meant that he was directly silenced by the media present.
It’s really cruel, this is going to kill people.
The State Press and Publication Administration is the higher-level unit directly responsible for domestic media. They usually remain silent.
But if this matter develops as Zhang Chen predicted, they will definitely not let it go.
The entertainment industry is noisy, no matter how big things are, they are small things, but everything else is different.
If Feng Xiaogang really reports with his real name as Zhang Chen said, "Bigstar" will be over.
From this moment on, reporters labeled Zhang Chen as a person who is not easy to mess with and a bit crazy~
