Chapter 1448 1550. Rivals in the Lunar New Year Film Festival

On the first day after New Year's Day, Boss Wang came to the company on time at nine o'clock as usual.

Since he got the shares from Nie Wei, Boss Wang has worked hard for more than two months and finally transformed all the shares in his hands into power.

Two-thirds of the company's important departments have been arranged by his people, especially in the film and television industry, all of them are his direct line.

What makes Boss Wang even happier is that Director Ning's new movie has been successfully produced and passed the review.

In Boss Wang's view, this movie is the key to Huayi's resurgence. Whether Huayi's market value can pick up in the new year depends entirely on whether Ning Hao's movie can achieve a high box office.

So in recent times, Boss Wang has spent all his thoughts on this movie. Not only has he given the movie the greatest support, but he has also held a big meeting every five days and a small meeting every three days to discuss various countermeasures.

Boss Wang walked into the office, put away his briefcase, and the first thing he did was to ask his secretary to find someone for a meeting.

When the secretary heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.

It's true that recently Boss Wang has held too many meetings, and it feels like he's looking for trouble. However, the boss is the most important person in the world. Boss Wang ordered that since there would be a meeting, the secretary could also obey and notify various departments.

Soon, several relevant supervisors of the company were called to the meeting room.

"Lao Liu, why do you have two dark circles under your eyes? You haven't been staying up late recently, have you? You should take care of your health." As soon as everyone met, someone teased.

Everyone laughed, because Lao Liu's biggest problem is that he is a playboy.

Lao Liu, the head of the corporate publicity department, couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this: "If it were you, you would have a plan in three days, and you would have such big dark circles under your eyes like me. Anyway, it's over. I'll sleep for a while, otherwise I don't know what work Boss Wang will arrange for me later."

Lao Liu's tone was full of complaints. After all, he was used like an animal by Boss Wang for more than half a month, and even people with a good mentality would have complaints.

Seeing that Lao Liu started snoring after lying on the table for ten seconds, the others smiled awkwardly, and their expressions were not very good.

Although everyone was not as busy as Lao Liu in the publicity department, no one was idle.

Just as Lao Liu said, Boss Wang might assign more work to them in a while. When they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

After all, Director Liu of the Publicity Department is a living example. If you think that even a big boss at the level of a supervisor is so tired, you can imagine how tired the staff under him are. I'm afraid they are ten times worse than Lao Liu.

"Lao Liu of the Publicity Department is so tired, but our marketing and distribution department is also relaxed. The boss assigned us a task at the last meeting, asking us to cooperate with the publicity department to promote "Crazy Alien". He said 100 million in popularity, but only approved us 500,000. This money is not enough. We have only completed one-fifth of the task so far. Alas." Lu Xu, the director of the department, sighed.

He said this and it was a start.

Several supervisors from the HR department, the finance department, and even the legal department couldn't help but complain. It was really because Boss Wang frequently held meetings to assign tasks, which put too much pressure on everyone.

Only Li Yin, the supervisor of the production department, didn't feel any pressure. After all, their busy days were over. Of course, he didn't dare to jump too much at this time, but pretended to be empathetic.

After all, everyone was angry. If he showed a relaxed and arrogant look, it would definitely cause public anger.

Everyone complained together, but they stopped at the right time. No one really went up to Boss Wang and made direct personal attacks. After all, the people present didn't have the same intention. What if someone reported him?

Ten minutes later, Boss Wang came to the meeting room.

Meetings were held too frequently, and some of Boss Wang's bad habits were corrected. In the past, he always liked to say some polite words at the beginning of meetings, but he said too much, especially recently, and Boss Wang felt that it was too boring and a waste of time. So in the last two meetings, Boss Wang stopped saying polite words and started to give orders directly after entering the meeting room.

"Publicity and marketing, what happened to the task assigned to you three days ago? It took so long to get the eleventh hot search, and it didn't even make it to the homepage rankings, and it was still a midnight period. And your publicity plan is so old-fashioned that I find the title boring."

"I'll give you three more days, and you must be in the top three hot searches for me."

Manager Liu, who was a little dazed, was immediately alert when he heard that he was going to be in the top three hot searches, but it was not because he was motivated, but because he was scared.

"Boss, then you must approve another one million for us, otherwise I can't do this." Manager Liu shuddered, woke up, and said quickly.

There are many hot search rankings on the Internet, but nowadays, the circle has already assumed that when it comes to hot searches, it means the hot search list of the Fanxing social platform.

After all, the traffic of this platform is too large, occupying more than half of the market share. As long as it is on the hot search list of this platform, basically 80% of netizens can see the news.

Boss Wang hasn't agreed yet, and Zhang Suan from the Finance Department said with embarrassment: "You can only allocate 800,000!"

"Lao Zhang, I'm not doing business with you. One million is really our bottom line. A good publicity plan also needs a certain amount of popularity as a foundation to ferment. Where does this foundation come from? Isn't it bought with money?" Lao Liu refused to give in, and there was really nothing to give in.

Recently, the company has been spending money like water on publicity. It invested too much some time ago, which has led to the company's publicity expenses being stretched. One million may not seem like much, but for Huayi, which needs money everywhere now, it is already a relatively large amount of money.

Boss Wang pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "I will add another 20 million to the publicity, but you must also do your work well. When the movie is successful, all of you will be heroes. I will give you a big red envelope at that time!"

"Thank you, boss." Everyone thanked, but the answers were uneven. Many people looked weak and seemed very unmotivated.

An hour later, Boss Wang made a small summary, and then gave other departments several tasks before announcing the adjournment.

When the heads of various departments returned to their departments to announce the tasks, the wailing sound instantly became one, and Huayi's employees sang a miserable movement together without any prior agreement.

Boss Wang naturally knew that the employees below were complaining about the hard work, but he didn't care.

As a boss, it is natural for him to exploit his employees, and the hard work now will be transformed into gratitude in the face of the rewards after the success of the movie.

Boss Wang is now paying attention to the opponents of this Lunar New Year file.

After knowing the schedule of this year's Lunar New Year file, Boss Wang's palms were still sweating.

Needless to say, the biggest opponent is definitely Nie Wei, whose new film "Captain of China" has been ranked first on the list of movies that the audience wants to watch the most for several months.

Although Boss Wang really wants to suppress Nie Wei, he also feels that it may not be possible with Ning Hao's new film. His greater expectation now is to occupy a certain market share before Nie Wei's new movie is released, so as to withstand the impact of Nie Wei's movie after it is released.

Of course, he still has some small thoughts, because there are really not many disaster movies that are popular in China in recent years, especially this kind of realistic disaster movies, so what if Nie Wei fails?

In addition to Nie Wei, what Boss Wang cares about most is the embarrassing series of Bald Director Xu.

After the first Lost in Thailand became a big hit, Bald Xu's second movie Lost in Hong Kong suffered a Waterloo. Although the box office exceeded 1.6 billion, the reputation was much lower than the first Lost in Thailand.

Lost in Thailand scored 7.4, while Lost in Hong Kong only scored a pitiful 5.4.

The difference of two points means that the movies are two levels apart. If Lost in Thailand can be considered an excellent movie, Lost in Hong Kong can't even be considered a pass. It can only be said that it is not too bad.

So it took a long time for Bald Xu to come up with the third movie in the Lost series, Lost in Hong Kong.

Although the second movie in Bald Xu's Lost series failed, the box office of this series of movies is really good, and the failure of one movie did not affect Bald Xu's reputation too much, because he has made other movies in recent years, and the quality is very good, especially "Dying to Survive", which even rushed into the TOP100 of the world classic movie rankings of the stars.

And the movies on this list have a score of more than 9 at the worst, otherwise classics would not be used as the core premise of this ranking.

So the Internet is still looking forward to Bald Xu's Lost in Hong Kong.

As for other opponents, they are actually very strong, such as Long Ge's "Detective Pu Songling", an action movie with a fairy-tale theme, and various special effects. I heard that there are many monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that everyone is familiar with.

There is also the classic remake "The New King of Comedy" directed by Zhou Xingxing. The reputation of "The King of Comedy" was very popular at the time. Although it was not included in the world's top 100 classic movies, it also had a score of 8.7.

At the beginning, Zhou Xingxing shouted that sentence "I will support you", which has been regarded as a confession by countless fans to this day. Many people even think that this is more touching than Zhou Xingxing's other classic confession line "I love you for ten thousand years".

In addition, there is also a regular guest in this year's Lunar New Year file, the animated classic "Boonie Bears".

This series of animations has appeared in the Spring Festival file every year in recent years, and the performance every year is good. After all, there is only one animated movie in the Lunar New Year file, and basically those who take their children to watch movies will take this movie as one of the must-sees.

There are also several Hollywood movies mixed in. It can only be said that no movie in the Lunar New Year file is easy to bully.

Boss Wang thinks that his advantage is that the film will be released before the Spring Festival, and he can get a good screening rate at the beginning. Of course, whether he can keep it depends on the performance of the film.

But there are also disadvantages in releasing the film in advance, that is, the box office will be lost on New Year's Eve.

After all, many people will stay at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala on this night. Even if they don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, they will generally stay at home to do something else. Few people will go out to watch movies at this time.

This is why the first day of the New Year is the real battlefield.

There are six movies released on this day, including Nie Wei's "Captain of China". However, due to Nie Wei's influence in China, his new movie only got 30% of the screening rate. In normal times, as long as it is Nie Wei's movie, the screening rate has not been lower than 50%, which shows how fierce the competition is during this period.

Thinking of this, Boss Wang picked up the phone on the table.

"In addition to the 20 million I promised in the meeting just now, the publicity fee will be increased by 30 million. We must fight this battle before the release. Do you understand!?"

After hanging up the phone, Boss Wang fell on the chair and sighed.

Since Nie Wei left Huayi, it has become really difficult to promote the company. This is the first time that Boss Wang has felt such great pressure. At this moment, he really regretted squeezing Nie Wei out of Huayi.

After all, when Nie Wei was there, he was in charge of both promotion and scheduling, and there was no need to bother Boss Wang at all.

This thought only existed in Boss Wang's mind for a moment, and then it was thrown out of his mind. Nie Wei was too strong inside Huayi. Even Huayi only knew Nie Wei and almost forgot about him as the founder. Boss Wang was unwilling to be inferior to Nie Wei.

"Wait and see, I want you to know that under my leadership, Huayi will be better!"

Nie Wei didn't know that Boss Wang was secretly competing with him. Since he got what he wanted in Huayi, this company no longer existed in Nie Wei's heart.

He never regarded Boss Wang as his destined enemy, mainly because he looked down on this guy.

When doing great things, cherish your body, and when you see small profits, you will risk your life. This sentence that Prime Minister Cao used to evaluate Yuan Benchu ​​is more appropriate for Boss Wang.

The promotion activities of "Captain of China" have also been put on the agenda, but the progress is much smoother than that of Huayi.

As a movie of its own company, hot searches must be arranged, but it is not airborne on the hot search list, but directly waiting for the hot search recommendation quota on the homepage, once every three days, which basically allows most netizens to know about this movie before it is released.

In addition, the variety show department under Fanxing has also begun to exert its strength, and the main actors of "Captain of China" have frequently appeared in the recent schedules of major variety shows.

Nie Wei did not escape the fate of being caught as a coolie.

Although he wanted to accompany Shu Chang, who was pregnant, Shu Chang was more righteous in this matter and took the initiative to "drive" Nie Wei to work.

Fortunately, there are two variety shows that require Nie Wei's cooperation and participation, one is "Infinite Challenge" and the other is "Happy Camp" on Shonan TV.

One is outdoors, the other is indoors. One is the company's top variety show, and the other is the top variety show of the local TV station.

The first show Nie Wei wants to participate in is naturally his own "Infinite Challenge".

This variety show has been on the air for more than ten years, and it is the second longest-lived program in China after "Happy Camp".

The reason why this show can remain so popular for more than ten years is that it never follows the routine. Just like this time, the program team did not reveal the content of the program except for agreeing on the time with Nie Wei. Everything can only be known when Nie Wei arrives at the scene.
