Chapter 641 A Cultural War!
"From WeChat payment to Jingsheng Logistics!"
"From Qiangsheng Online Mall to our offline industries..."
"We won!"
"We won a great victory, we..."
"..."
October 14.
The entire Qiangsheng Online Mall was in a state of surprise.
Li Bin hurried into Zhang Sheng's office, excitedly and chattering about their achievements.
Then, Dong Mingqiang from Xingyang Refrigerator ran in excitedly.
He told Zhang Sheng that in just a few days, all the Xingyang Refrigerator in their inventory had been sold out, and even the sales of small home appliance brands in Xingyang Electric Appliances had hit new highs.
Just as Dong Mingqiang from Xingyang Refrigerator was excitedly reporting his achievements...
The knock on the door rang again.
The bosses of the second-tier domestic brands of Jiakang TV and Shenchuan Computer rushed in with champagne.
Without saying a word, he dragged Zhang Sheng out of the company...
...
"[Jiakang TV] has sold nearly 500 units nationwide in the past few days! For the first time, it is on par with big-name TVs!"
"[Shenchuan Computer] is another rising Chinese local brand. In two days, its sales volume is not inferior to [Lianzhong], [Puhui], and [Huasuo]!"
"..."
"Oh my God, all the brands that cooperate with Mr. Zhang have seen a surge in sales. It seems that as long as they have Mr. Zhang's label, they are golden brands!"
"..."
"Sold out, [Xingyang Refrigerator] is completely sold out!"
"..."
"[Suzhou Yiguo] has seen a surge in traffic! It has completely crushed [Hangmei Electric Appliances] of the same period. No, [Hangmei Electric Appliances] has changed its name to [PaiPai Mall]..."
"..."
When the fig leaf of the commercial routines of capital was completely uncovered,
When Zhang Sheng's [Qiangsheng Online Mall] announced an apology and said that it had completed the 2 million yuan penalty imposed by the relevant departments and actively conducted self-examination...
Countless consumers suddenly realized that from the beginning to the end, the only ones who could really benefit them without any tricks were Zhang Sheng and his partners.
Then, a new round of barbaric consumption officially shocked countless brand owners at this moment.
Then, pairs of red eyes stared at Zhang Sheng like crazy.
The hungry eyes seemed to want to swallow Zhang Sheng completely, leaving no residue.
……………………………………
When a brand reaches its peak.
All related industries will rise quietly.
The popularity of the [Southern California International Film Awards] has been getting higher and higher without knowing it!
October 15.
The number of films registered for the [Southern California International Film Awards] in China has exceeded 300 for the first time!
As of October 2011.
The total output of Chinese domestic films increased from 675 to 705, and the box office increased from the original 11 billion to 11.9 billion.
Of the 11.9 billion, the real Chinese domestic box office was about 100 million.
The total box office of 30 films was only 100 million, and that was after the National Day on October 1st...
National Day period.
Except for a main theme movie [Flying] with a box office of nearly 40 million, all other Chinese films fell.
I don’t know if it’s because of "That Summer"...
Or I don’t know if it’s because of "My Sassy Girl Sadako", love movies seem to have become the most sought-after movies by Chinese investors in 2011.
However, the content of the film is not an exaggeration to describe it as rotten fish and shrimp.
And this year’s overseas movies are still crazy. Hollywood-produced movies "Dawn" and "Wolf Warrior", although not on October 1st, but at the end of October 7th.
But...
In just four days, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" has exceeded 200 million.
As for the movie "Dawn", it is even more exaggerated, with a direct box office of 250 million...
Both are about love stories, but "Dawn", a love story with vampire themes, is much more beautiful and extreme than those Chinese movies, and the way of telling stories is also much more sophisticated.
October 16.
The Chinese Film Department held a meeting on the [Southern California International Film Awards].
The amazing popularity on the Internet has made everyone no longer regard this award as a wild award or an amateur award.
After the meeting, the relevant leaders of Chinese Film intend to formally attend such an international film exhibition!
"This is the first international film exhibition in China so far!"
"..."
At the meeting, this sentence was reiterated again.
When many people heard this sentence, they were slightly shocked.
This is the third time that Zhao Guorong, the leader of the relevant department of Chinese Film, has emphasized this sentence at a similar meeting!
They know very well that after this film award has risen to this level, everything must not be too bad.
………………………………
On the morning of October 17.
The relationships in this world are still quite complicated.
Hsin Xiaoqi, the director of "My Sassy Girl Sadako", knocked on Zhang Sheng's office.
She is a great contributor to the film field of [NC Entertainment]. In the entire company, her director status is second only to Bi Feiyu.
When she walked into the office, she first chatted about some movies with Zhang Sheng, and then talked about the current situation of Chinese movies.
Zhang Sheng was very patient and listened silently. He originally thought that Xin Xiaoqi was preparing to chat with him about a new movie, but halfway through, he realized that Xin Xiaoqi was not talking to him about movies this time.
She seemed to be talking to herself about fifth-generation directors...
When talking about those directors who are hidden in the dust but are quite talented, the most profound name in the topic seems to be a sixth-generation director named Dong Chao.
Strictly speaking, Xin Xiaoqi and Bi Feiyu both belong to the sixth generation of Chinese directors, but among the six generations of directors, there are actually certain differences.
"Director Xin, strictly speaking, the [Southern California International Film Awards] is now an international film award. Although I am the founder, I don't understand the ups and downs of the film industry... As for movies The review chairmen in China are Mr. Wu Guanli and Chen Xuebin... Overseas regions are held by teachers such as Mr. Avery Tashi and McCaskey. Each of them is internationally renowned. Filmmakers..."
"..."
"Director Xin, things are different now. We are no longer the Pheasant Film Festival. Even within us, we must follow the process step by step."
"..."
Zhang Sheng pushed up his glasses and looked at Xin Xiaoqi seriously.
Xin Xiaoqi's face turned slightly red, but she still bit her lip. After a moment, she hesitated again: "I...Mr. Zhang, as long as you are willing to nod, nothing will be a problem..."
"Why do you value the director named Dong Chao so highly? If I remember correctly, Director Dong Chao is one of the newly released underground directors among the Sixth Generation of Directors, right?"
"He was the guide for my films and one of my best seniors at [Yan Film Academy]..."
"Are you in a relationship?" Zhang Sheng frowned.
"No, no, absolutely not, Mr. Zhang, I..." Xin Xiaoqi was shocked. Although she quickly denied it, she was so excited that she felt as if her tail had been stepped on.
"That's..." Zhang Sheng did not pursue the question any further, but changed another topic: "As long as the movie is good enough, no matter who he is, we will support him. We will compete at the [Southern California International Film Awards] Any film award in the world is more authoritative, more fair and just..."
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with his movies, it's just that they are a little bit sensitive..."
"sensitive?"
"Yes, no, it's not sensitive, it's just too artistic, the conflict is too strong, and then..."
"In this way, show me the movie first, Director Xin. If his movie really satisfies me, I will personally call and recommend it to Mr. Wu and the others..."
"no problem!"
"..."
Xin Xiaoqi immediately took a USB flash drive and handed it to Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng looked at the USB flash drive: "Is there a Trojan horse in it?"
"Huh? No, no, absolutely not."
"Oh, that's good."
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, the other party is willing to sponsor our [Southern California International Film Awards] for 50 million free of charge, without any conditions and without any advertising fees..."
"..."
Just when Zhang Sheng was watching the movie, he heard the knock on the door again.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Xiaoxi also came over hesitantly: "Mr. Zhang, can I recommend a director? The other party hopes to sponsor us 100 million yuan, and then..."
"..."
……………………
Open the USB flash drive.
When Zhang Sheng saw this "Red Corn".
Zhang Sheng had a smile on his face.
However, when I was halfway through "Red Corn", this smile gradually solidified.
When he saw the end, Zhang Sheng's eyes became calmer than ever before.
Xin Xiaoqi noticed this scene and her face changed slightly. At this time, her phone vibrated.
Before Zhang Sheng could speak, Xin Xiaoqi's expression became surprised again.
"Mr. Zhang, Director Dong can also sponsor 100 million, as long as we can be shortlisted for his movie..."
Zhang Sheng was not surprised by the 100 million, nor did he show any emotions such as surprise or excitement. He remained silent from beginning to end.
Xin Xiaoqi didn't know what happened...
I even thought Zhang Sheng thought it was too little: "Mr. Zhang, the other party can have more..."
Zhang Sheng still didn't respond.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Sheng looked at Xin Xiaoqi quietly.
"Director Xin!"
"You say……"
"The despicable, disgusting, despicable and cruel scenes captured in "Red Corn" are our real rural people?"
"ah……"
"Also, the eyes of the male and female protagonists are squinted from beginning to end, which is in sharp contrast to the glamor of the city people. Every line of the words reveals the despicability of people under the influence of money and the high morals of foreign wealthy elites. …Is this the real China? I want to know, is this the real China, or is it a China that deliberately magnifies its ugliness countless times to flatter the West?”
"This is art. Art is deeply processed and then presented..."
"I don't know what art is. I know that this is a culture war..."
"Mr. Zhang, but I am willing to pay 100 million..."
"Director Xin! I will not recommend this movie. Not only will I not recommend it, but if I know that anyone recommends this movie at the Southern California International Film Awards, I will definitely deal with it seriously!" Xin Xiaoqi looked at Zhang Sheng His face was cold.
She was stunned!
She was a little scared for a while.
She had never seen such a cold expression.
After a long time...
Zhang Sheng looked at Xin Xiaoqi.
"Director Xin, maybe this is an art for you, but for me, it is a war! A cultural war!"
"..."
