Disaster Artist

The latest website: calm.

It has been a whole week since Wei Shengxin and Lu Qianqian broke up in the Green Tree Club, but there was no movement in Lanchuan at all:

There is no news from 8mm, no news from Liuguang Films, no news from Dong Ruixian, and there is no sound like a sinking sea.

It's really quiet.

However, because it is too quiet, there is a sense of tranquility before the storm, which is disturbing, and no one can know whether a tsunami is brewing under the calm sea.

"Aqian, is this normal?"

"How is it normal?"

"...At least there's always some movement, right? If they knew we were negotiating with Peak Entertainment to acquire a streaming platform, would they block it? It's like buying the company in the first place."

"Do you think they have plans to build streaming?"

"no."

"Then you don't have to worry about them spending money like land to buy a company that has no profit and no use, like the second generation of prodigal wealthy, all of which are accumulating dust. Liuguang Pictures is a giant crocodile, but precisely because it is a giant crocodile, their Decision-making needs to be thought twice, and it is difficult to act arbitrarily because of personal grievances.”

"I know, I'm just uneasy, they're too quiet."

"Well, I agree too, but I think they have actually started to do it."

"How to say?"

After the meeting in the Green Tree Club, Lu Qian had a leisurely life. After completing the third revision and finalization of "Gone Lover", he met with the two TV drama crews to determine the first season of the two projects. Then back to the script reading work of the blacklist program.

The days are full and simple, and there is no worry about the appearance of Liuguang Pictures.

But Ji Xu is not good as a producer. He needs to pay attention to the trend of the industry all the time, and then adapt to changes according to the progress of things.

The quietness of Liuguang Pictures is like another shoe that has not fallen.

In the past three months, Ji Xu has been busy creating a streaming media platform. Like the previous decision to acquire Blue Whale Pictures, after calculation and planning, he and Xiu Zhongjun reached a consensus that acquisition is a better choice.

In fact, the entire streaming media industry is just emerging at present. Except for those who have temporarily made a name for themselves, other streaming media, large and small, have at least double digits, but most of them are in the early stage of exploration, and there is no clear Develop ideas and goals, and cross the river by feeling the stones.

Some companies are more positive, while others are more negative. In general, Lanchuan is not optimistic about the prospects of streaming media, because they firmly believe that all copyright resources are in the hands of the top companies in the pyramid, and streaming media can’t be turned out at all.

Peak Entertainment belongs to the latter.

Pinnacle Entertainment’s copyright library ranks third in the industry after Magic Pictures and Streamer Pictures. They have been cooperating with ZZZ before and authorized their works to be broadcast on ZZZ, but the agreement expired two years ago and was not renewed. About, they are ready to take back the copyright to play on their own streaming platform.

This has also become an opportunity to stimulate the house to seriously think about his future development direction, and then start to officially produce his own original works; however, Pinnacle Entertainment's patience and ambition for streaming media quickly wore out.

Peak Entertainment has spent a lot of resources and effort to build a brand new streaming media platform, Rift, looking forward to the platform being able to find a private space in people's daily lives and provide them with private entertainment.

The platform has been built and the content has been filled, but it has encountered difficulties in terms of market positioning and promotion. Apparently, Peak Entertainment has not figured out how to promote streaming media. It still uses the concept of promoting cable TV in the past. Naturally, it cannot win the favor of the market.

In the past two years, the rift subscribers have still not exceeded 500,000, and most of them are the diehard fans of Peak Entertainment——

The parent company of Pinnacle Entertainment was born in games and electronic products. It has been working in the two-dimensional market for many years and is still one of the largest game companies in the world.

Compared with the number of users who have exceeded 10 million subscribers, the investment income ratio of the crack is very, very bad, so that Pinnacle Entertainment is in a state of semi-abandonment.

After two layoffs, there is now only a 30-person technical team for the core maintenance left in the crack, which is basically equivalent to being exiled to a desolate land.

Blue Whale Pictures will target the rift.

In fact, Pinnacle Entertainment is very happy, but they can't let their anxious attitude of trying to get rid of the hot potato be seen by Blue Whale Pictures, otherwise how can they sell at a good price, so the two sides start a tug of war.

The current progress is that Peak Entertainment has been holding on to the air and refused to let go, and Blue Whale Pictures has also taken a tough stance, saying that the price cannot go up any further, and the two sides are at a stalemate. platform, expressing its position——

It doesn't matter that Pinnacle Entertainment refused to sell Qiao, anyway, the streaming media platforms on the verge of bankruptcy in the market are not one or two.

It can be seen that Peak Entertainment is a little anxious, and they did not expect the toughness of Blue Whale Pictures.

The two sides are in the game of momentum. Seeing and waiting, the atmosphere that Ji Xu expects will be formed, and then Blue Whale Pictures will be able to break through the cracks in Peak Entertainment. .

If the streamer film industry interferes, the efforts of the blue whale film industry in the past three months may be in vain.

No wonder Ji Xu was worried.

But as Lu Qian said, Liuguang Films wanted to teach Lu Qian a lesson, and it would not waste tens of millions to buy cracks just to discourage Lu Qian once——

As for the strategy of the acquisition of Blue Whale Pictures, now the opponent is Peak Entertainment, and those small tricks of Streamer Pictures may not be able to deceive Peak Entertainment.

Moreover, in the movie market now, Pinnacle Entertainment is chasing after Streamer Films and Magic Films, and the superhero film market is also fully deployed. Obviously, the threat of Pinnacle Entertainment is greater than that of Blue Whale Films.

All things considered, Lu Qian did not think that Streamer Films would start from the cracks.

"What are we most concerned about right now?"

"Development and brand building in the early stage~www.novelmt.com~ Yes, then when the streamer film industry can't see whether the streaming media can play a role for the time being, he naturally needs to start from these two aspects, strangle our lifeblood, prevent We develop."

"...You mean, awards season?"

Ji Xu is also a smart person. After a little guidance from Lu Qian, he immediately reacted.

In fact, the biggest advantage of Streamer Films over Blue Whale Films does not care about film production, publicity resources, deep pockets, etc., but the connections in the industry.

If Streamer Pictures wants to suppress Blue Whale Pictures, it will first suppress "tourists" during the awards season, and eliminate Blue Whale Pictures' tactical intention to build word of mouth through the awards season, which can disrupt the overall layout of Blue Whale Pictures. ——

Don't forget, awards season is really a PR game.
