"President Gao..."

Starway Entertainment.

Compared to Mubai Entertainment's jubilation, Starway Entertainment is gloomy.

As the largest investor in "Heroes of Fire", this time it suffered heavy losses.

They invested hundreds of millions of dollars in this movie, but the movie's box office was only 300 million.

As the producer and distributor of the movie, they can get about 40% of the box office, which is about 120 million.

It doesn't look like a loss, but it doesn't include their company's publicity expenses, which is a big sum.

The previous over 100 million funds were the production funds of the film, that is, the remuneration of the film actors, the expenses of the crew...

For this movie, Starway Entertainment made a big publicity campaign on the eve of its release and spent more money. After the premiere, the reputation was not good, and Starway spent a lot of money to guide and cover up the unfavorable public opinion for the movie, and spent a lot of money. .

One after the other, I lost tens of millions and went in!

Many entertainment companies earn tens of millions of dollars throughout the year, but this time, Starway Entertainment directly lost tens of millions of net profits.

All the funds earned during the Spring Festival stalls have been lost, and it may not be enough!

The defeat of "Heroes of Fire" this time caused mourning within the board of directors.

When the film was first invested, everyone was very optimistic about it.

Who knows, it just fell into the pit like this.

When they knew that Chen Mubai had a new movie, they were worried that he might target them and choose to release it at the same time, which would definitely have an impact on the box office of their movie.

Now, Chen Mubai's reputation is flourishing, and he still has many loyal fans.

After Chen Mubai announced the release date of the film, they were very happy, and there was one less enemy.

And because he chose to head-to-head with the sci-fi blockbuster "Monster 2", they also laughed at him for his ignorance, and hoped to see him make a big fall.

In the end, who would have thought that "Infernal Affairs" not only sold well at the box office, but also defeated such a powerful opponent as "Monster 2"!

It even broke into the tenth place in the movie rankings!

And their Starway Entertainment's movie, on the contrary, was released early because of the bad reputation, and suffered heavy losses.

How happy I was laughing at the beginning, how miserable I am now!

They can't blame Gao Jin's decision. After all, everyone will promote the film during the promotion and maximize the influence of the promotion. This behavior is correct, but they ignore the impact of the success of "Infernal Affairs".

"Apologize." Gao Jin's voice was full of exhaustion.

These days, it has been a nightmare for him, and he doesn't have a good night's sleep.

Every day I can see the news of "Infernal Affairs" in my dream, and then I am awakened.

Chen Mubai has become his nightmare, every time he fights against him, he can't make a profit, and every time he loses.

Ever since he took over Zhang Yaohui's position as general manager, every time he wanted to do something ambitious, he would always be influenced by Chen Mubai and fail. Chen Mubai had become his nightmare.

While letting him go away, he was helpless.

"good."

The apology means that they have officially admitted defeat, and apologized to the vast number of netizens through the WeChat account of "Heroes of Fire", acknowledging the rubbish of the filming, and acknowledging all the facts they said.

This is really a double whammy, both psychological and physical.

It's fine if you don't make money, and you still have to sprinkle salt on the wound. General Manager Gao feels very uncomfortable in his heart.

There's nothing I can do if I don't apologize. After all, the movie has already been drawn, the box office is already doomed, and failure is a foregone conclusion.

If I apologize now, it may save a little popularity and make others feel ashamed. At least the works I shoot in the future may still make people pay for it.

Blindly holding on will only make people lose confidence in Starway Entertainment, and it will also make many people in the industry afraid to accept their film and television production needs.

After all, accepting a bad film will greatly affect the star's personal reputation and reputation.

The impact is too great, and it will even affect the worth!

This apology is not only for netizens, but also for a group of film and television personnel.

It’s okay to fail this time, you can only try harder next time, at least this attitude must be shown for everyone to see.

After the apology, I'm afraid those who scolded happily will stop cursing, so enough is enough.

However, the fate of this movie becoming a joke and being ridiculed cannot be escaped.

"Publish it as I mean it..."

Gao Jin let out a breath slowly, seeming to let out all the heavy heart, and returned to the elite state at work again.

There is no mediocre person who can achieve this position. The reason why Gao Jin was able to take over Starway Entertainment instead of Zhang Yaohui was due to his previous excellent work ability.

His superior position is the result of voting by a group of shareholders. If he is mediocre, he will not be able to be the general manager.

In fact, judging from many of his current decisions, there is no problem. It was only Chen Mubai who disrupted the situation many times that made him fail.

It's not that his ability is not good, it can only be said that Chen Mubai is too powerful!

Four films earned 8 billion at the box office, with an average of 2 billion per film. Not to mention in China, even in the history of world film, there is no such awesome person!

Gao Jin knew that Chen Mubai was powerful, and even chose to avoid him, but Chen Mubai couldn't resist taking the initiative to find fault, what could he do?

This time, "Infernal Affairs" succeeded, and they failed again.

Since you have become an opponent, there is no need to show mercy.

Gao Jin had already thought of a new way to deal with Chen Mubai, no matter what, it would be good to have some influence on Chen Mubai.

"Is this okay..." the vice president hesitated.

"Do you have a better way?" Gao Jin asked back.

"Forehead......"

The vice president was speechless, as if there was no other way.

"Then try it." The vice president thought to himself.

Soon, an apology statement from Starway Entertainment came out.

"I'm sorry to take up everyone's time. I made a movie of poor quality. We have seen everyone's comments. I will definitely make positive corrections next time and try my best to make a movie that everyone likes."

"The movies we shoot are all considered from the public's point of view. We want to make easy-to-understand works. What is a movie? Movies are a culture that entertains the public and a way of pastime, so they can be understood and appreciated by everyone. A movie is a good movie, it is based on this, maybe the middle scale is not well grasped, which makes the quality of the movie problematic."

"This failure made us reflect on ourselves, and we will definitely improve next time. Everyone compares us with "Infernal Affairs". We are indeed not as good as the other party. It is a very good movie!"

"However, such excellent films have one thing in common, that is, they require the audience to spend a lot of time and energy digging out the truth and information in them. This kind of film is more literary and has a specific audience. Director Chen Mubai is very suitable for directing. This type of film, and we still mainly produce commercial films, which are also the mainstream of the current film market. These are two styles. We will try our best to tell a good story. After all, there is only one excellent director like Chen Mubai. We strive to be able to do so in the future. Produce a work that satisfies everyone!"

As soon as Starway Entertainment's apology statement came out, it quickly became a trending search.

After all, very few filmmakers will apologize generously, which shows that they have admitted the fact that they are not good enough.

On the other hand, this statement fully describes the excellence of "Infernal Affairs" and affirms Chen Mubai's ability.

You know, Xingcheng and Chen Mubai are rivals!

Starway Entertainment did not have good intentions. They first lowered their attitude and complimented Chen Mubai, bluntly saying that his movie is very good, but it is a pity that you need to use your brain to watch it, and it is not suitable for all audiences. class movies.

Looking at movies such as "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Stone", they are actually not the kind of movies that the public will like. You need to concentrate on watching them, otherwise you will not understand them.

On the contrary, young people like it, and middle-aged people may not understand it, nor may they like it.

Many people just want to relax when watching movies, but watching Chen Mubai's movies does not have this effect.

Even "Crazy Stone", because of the regional culture (dialect), many people don't like to watch it.

Middle-aged, elderly and young people actually don't understand Chen Mubai's movies very well. His audience is mostly teenagers and a small number of middle-aged people.

What Starway Entertainment means is that they want to make commercial films that everyone can understand, they don't know how to engage in literature and art, and what they want is to make everyone watch movies relaxed and happy.

Although Chen Mubai was praised, he also specifically said that a good movie is one that the public likes and is easy to understand.

The movies made by Chen Mubai have a good box office and high ratings, but the public seems too tired to be mainstream. His success depends on his own ability, not all due to the movies.

In fact, this is not wrong. If "Infernal Affairs" was produced by other companies, I am afraid that the box office results would not be so high, including films such as "Buried Alive".

Many times, people watch this movie because of Chen Mubai, and it has a good reputation and high quality, which attracts many people to watch it.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that the initial impact would not be so great, so even if word of mouth and quality remain unchanged, it may not be able to get such a high box office.

The box office will definitely be high, but it won't be so high. Starway has secretly changed the concept here, as if it is replaced by someone else, the movie will fail.

Most of the films are commercials, and they, like the rest of the entertainment companies, make these types of films.

Commercial films have a box office, but it is difficult for literary films to win awards.

The movies on the movie box office rankings are not literary films, which also illustrates the truth that only those that the public likes can make money, and literary films are just carnivals for the small crowd.

Chen Mubai is the only one who can get such a high box office with his literary and artistic films, and no one else.

Facts are the evidence. Chen Mubai's high box office is based on his wide influence, high literary and artistic ratings, and good reputation. If it is a purely commercial film, he may not be able to do it.

After all, commercial films and literary films are two styles. In Starway's meaning, Chen Mubai can't make easy-to-understand commercial films.

He can only shoot elegant works, but not vulgar ones.

This statement is to praise Chen Mubai secretly, saying that he can only rely on this type of film to get the box office, and cannot make orthodox commercial films.

Starway Entertainment had no other choice. Chen Mubai was excellent in all aspects, and the quality of the movie could not be underestimated. He could only pick the bones and find the "flaws".

This is the only weakness they can find to attack.

However, in the eyes of the public, this meaning is definitely not seen. What everyone sees is Xingcheng apologizing and admitting that he is not as good as Chen Mubai.

Soon, a group of people left messages under this apology statement.

"Starway Entertainment's attitude is quite correct, and I hope to change it next time."

"Indeed, when I watch a movie, I just want to relax and be happy without thinking about it. Watching Chen Mubai's movie is very tiring, so I don't like to watch it. After watching one movie, I never watched it again."

"It makes sense, Chen Mubai needs to concentrate on every movie, otherwise it's really easy to understand~"

"Chen Mubai seems to have never made an easy-to-understand movie. This kind of commercial movie is the mainstream, and everyone can watch it..."

"I took my father to watch "Crazy Stone" before. He went to sleep and said he couldn't understand their words, and he couldn't read and didn't read the subtitles..."

"I hope Chen Mubai can make a movie that everyone can watch. Don't make every movie so profound. For simple-minded people like us, the viewing experience is not good."

This is Starway Entertainment's strategy. It wants to force Chen Mubai to challenge commercial films, because there are still differences between commercial films and literary films, and it is difficult to grasp the balance.

If Chen Mubai challenges commercial films, it is very likely that he will get a high box office but the ratings of the film are not high, then his word-of-mouth reputation for boutiques will be lost, which will still have a certain impact on his reputation.

If you don't shoot, you will expose your own shortcomings. After all, netizens have also expressed similar meanings.
