Disaster Artist

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The voice of the phone being dialed came from the octopus on the conference table, but it was not connected. Everyone in the conference room held their breath, but the sound of the heart hitting the chest became clearer and clearer, as if in the air. Can feel the tension creeping in.

Qu Yushi looked at Xiu Zhongjun anxiously and said in a low voice, "Will we disturb his work?"

"Probably not. Didn't President Ji say it? He should have just woken up now and hasn't started work yet. This is the best window for him to answer the phone, otherwise we have to visit." Xiu Zhong Jun's words are still somewhat uncertain.

Qu Yushi rolled his eyes, "President Ji himself doesn't dare to disturb his work, okay? Let us be the scapegoats."

Xiu Zhongjun glared at Qu Yushi and told Qu Yushi to shut his mouth, swallowing the words that followed.

It is interesting to say that Blue Whale Pictures has always been managed by Xiu Zhongjun, and only Ji Xu will show up occasionally. It seems that Lu Qian is a tiger that eats people.

Especially when Qu Yu is like a mouse seeing a cat.

Xiu Zhongjun asked Qu Yushi why, but Qu Yushi couldn't say a reason, "The aura, maybe it's because of the aura."

despair.

The call is connected.

"Hello."

The simple and distant greeting, obviously full of politeness, made Qu Yushi shrink his head and winked to signal Xiu Zhongjun to speak quickly. Looking at the other people in the conference room, they all recoiled. Zhong Jun was also a little helpless and could only take the initiative to speak.

"Director, I'm Xiu Zhongjun. Regarding the schedule of the 'raid' and the situation of the theater, I need to ask your opinion on some things."

Simply cut to the topic neatly, without nonsense or greetings, this is Lu Qian's preferred way of communication.

Speaking of the title of "director", there is actually a small episode.

At first, everyone in the company called Lu Qian "Mr. Lu", but Lu Qian stopped him. He said he didn't like the name, because it sounded like a treacherous businessman with a big brain - Ji Xu laying a gun, he still I prefer to call him "director".

Inside the company, Lu Qian was thought to be joking, but instead, he was murmuring in the tea room to complain that Lu Qian was pretending. Want to stand at the top of the pyramid and play the role of God?

Later, in the preparatory conference call for the "raid", everyone was still habitually calling "Mr. Lu", but Lu Qian was not angry, but just corrected them, once, twice, three times... Every time Lu Qian was wearing a face Correcting them with a smile, obviously not angry, but chilling.

Over time, the title of "director" became popular.

In fact, Lu Qian also behaved like this.

Lu Qian hardly interferes with the company's business, and leaves it to Ji Xu and Xiu Zhong to deal with it. He devotes himself to the director's work wholeheartedly, shows his professionalism in line with his words and deeds, and shows the attitude of "director" in a genuine way.

Of course, very occasionally, the company also has some business needs to ask Lu Qian's opinions. Even Ji Xu emphasized that Lu Qian's views are the most valuable reference for some things, so Lu Qian is not stingy to share his thoughts, always It is the ability to grasp the core of the problem seven inches.

Thinking of it this way, Qu Yushi felt fearful and uneasy when facing Lu Qian, and it seemed that the answer had already come out.

"Schedule and theater? You go directly to Ji Xu."

Lu Qian replied without hesitation, but Xiu Zhongjun had long anticipated Lu Qian's reaction, and said before Lu Qian hung up the phone.

"We have asked President Ji for his opinion, and he suggested that we talk to you."

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and just when everyone thought Lu Qian hung up, the voice finally came again.

"Next time you ask that guy to call me by himself, doesn't he know that I'm catching up with the late stage? I still need to ask my opinion on such a thing. Does he get paid and don't do anything? You ask that guy if he has a brain. Got caught in the door."

The understated words made people shudder. Everyone in the conference room held their breath and looked at each other. No one dared to speak easily—

I'm afraid no one would dare to speak to Ji Xu like that.

In the end, it was Xiu Zhongjun, who pretended not to hear, waited for Lu Qian to finish his words, and then cut to the subject, as if the storm just now had never happened.

"We're considering a point release of the movie..."

Briefly, Xiu Zhongjun talked about the ins and outs, but Lu Qian on the other end of the phone did not speak immediately, and seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem.

I have to say that Liuguang Films has made a good move this time. The most important thing is that they are in a situation where they can make a profit without losing money. If they suppress Blue Whale Films, naturally, needless to say, Lu Qian's future plans will be Distracted; if they fail, they also have no loss of reputation or profit.

Compared with the previous Bundang incident, this is the strategy of a big company. From layout to strategy to execution, it seizes opportunities everywhere without leaving any traces. The most important thing is to make the opponent feel uncomfortable without leaving any handle, so that He is invincible, and he will be able to retreat no matter what the outcome is.

So, how should Blue Whale Pictures break the game?

With the scale and strength of Blue Whale Pictures, it is really too difficult to make Liuguang Pictures hurt. The only thing that can be done is to suppress the "boss speeding" and make Liuguang Pictures lose money once——

It won't hurt. After all, the investment scale of "Boss Overspeed" is limited, that is, about 400 million. It is considered a medium production, but if the 400 million can be lost, it can be regarded as a small achievement.

For the "raid", the shift from a large-scale public screening to a small-scale point screening, even if the current release plan has not been announced, will not affect the public's perception, but people in the industry can see that the "raid" is avoiding the edge. ~www.novelmt.com~ Does this count as... "admitting defeat"?

Then it means that Streamer Films will win first in this game.

However, in Lu Qian's view, retreating is not admitting defeat, but retreating as advance, making the opponent mistakenly believe that he has won, complacent and self-absorbed, and then launching a thunderous blow when the opponent relaxes his vigilance to reverse the situation. That's what they expect.

Retreat, no problem, but you must retreat skillfully, and then prepare for the next attack.

There is also a lot of knowledge in it.

No wonder Ji Xu did not directly decide, but asked Xiu Zhongjun to ask Lu Qian's opinion.

After all, Lu Qian was born in the journalism department, and has his own unique insights into publicity, market, positioning, etc. He is not necessarily a professional but can help them open up their horizons.

"...I think our entire pre-promotional strategy should be adjusted. The point is not that the 'raid' is worth looking forward to, but that retro action movies are worth looking forward to."

Well, the difference between the two is...?
