Goddaughter CEO fishes for Qin Xun and Xia Ning

Qin Xun held the phone and continued.

"If Zhang Lei knew that our movie could beat 'Mystery Case', he would be like a kindergarten boxer encountering a wild boar on stage, he would definitely just run away!"

"If you're this arrogant, 'Mystery Deep Eyes' might get delayed!"

"We just want him to feel that he can compete with us on equal terms. The content of the movie can no longer be changed, so they can only work hard on publicity and promotion."

"Zhang Lei will definitely spend more money on publicity and promotion, trying to widen the gap with us and let the first-day box office boom affect the theaters' screening schedules."

Wu Yu on the other end of the phone was a little confused, so he quickly interrupted and said.

"Etc., etc!"

"I don't know!"

"I called to apply for 500 million yuan in publicity and promotion expenses, but you gave me a lot of trouble and finally told me that you wanted to motivate Zhang Lei to invest more in publicity and promotion expenses."

"With this, won't the promotion of our two films be more different?"

"what???"

"You've indulged yourself in sex too much, and your kidneys are weak and you're confused?"

When Qin Xun heard such shameless words, he showed a look of disgust and said.

"What's your dog's name?"

"Don't panic!"

"Let Zhang Lei invest money and promote it as he pleases. The more he promotes it, the better. Then we can just copy 'Mystery Case Deep Eyes'."

"I want to take his money and do my own thing!"

As he spoke, he sneered.

"Okay, your publicity and promotion fees are in Zhang Lei's hands, go have fun!"

hang up the phone.

Qin Xun returned the phone to Xia Ning and turned to the bed to continue resting.

During this period, in order to earn more than 8 million yuan in idle time, I studied hard at school every day and worked hard to write bugs at Hamiyou Company.

The intensity of the work is comparable to that of a civil engineering intern.

He needs to have a good rest.

Xia Ning glanced at Qin Xun, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she asked nothing. She turned her head and stared at the computer screen in a daze, thinking carefully about what Qin Xun had just said about the fraud in "Mystery Case Deep Eyes".

Touch porcelain?

Should we put a poster of "Identity" next to every advertising poster for "The Dark Eyes"?

Go to the official social account of "Mystery Case Deep Eyes" to brush "Fatal Identity"?

But this will cost a lot of money!

Judging from Qin Xun's current attitude, he clearly doesn't want to spend too much money.

Is he going to ask film critics to do a pre-release preview of the two films, making a comprehensive comparison from the main creatives to the trailers to the publicity and promotion, so as to stir up debate among netizens and hype up the popularity?

This...will break the rules of the industry, right?

And this kind of video can be easily reported and removed!

What is he up to?

Xia Ning turned his head to look at Qin Xun, and saw that he had closed his eyes to rest, thinking.

If he doesn’t tell, I won’t ask!

Otherwise, he will be so proud that his tail will be up in the sky again!

……

Although Wu Yu didn't quite understand, he had no choice but to believe it and called Liu Gang.

Liu Gang didn't understand how the so-called "bumping into porcelain" worked, but he believed in Qin Xun's marketing ability and asked his assistant to contact some film critics.

The next day, 10 am.

Five film critics invited from all over the country watched "Identity" at Liu Gang's home.

After watching it, they were full of praise.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"This is definitely the best suspense movie of the year!"

"No, this can even be said to be the best movie of the year, bar none."

“I thought Identity was aborted, but I didn’t expect it to be so great!”

"It looks like this year's summer season is going to be busy again!"

Liu Gang was not present. His assistant listened to everyone's praise and asked his men to bring a small box. When he opened it, a box full of money was revealed.

Everyone was silent.

Several of them felt embarrassed, thinking that they were being paid to reveal the plot of "Mystery Deep Eyes".

This involves a confidentiality agreement and could result in a major lawsuit.

The assistant saw through their thoughts and said with a smile.

"Here is 100 million, divided among five people, each person gets 20."

"It's not a lot of money, but we don't need you to sell your conscience, and we won't ask you questions that you shouldn't ask."

"Just be careful when someone asks you what you think of Identity..."

"Don't praise too much."

"It's about the same as 'Mystery Case Deep Eyes', fifty-fifty, about the same."

Everyone looked at each other.

???

What is this?

How can this be a 50-50 split?

This is clearly a beating by hanging him up!

Everyone was very confused. They thought Mr. Liu was going to ask them which movie was good, but he didn't ask a single question.

They were also asked not to praise Identity too much.

Others pay them to praise them, praise them to death, and praise them against their conscience, but why is it the other way around with them?

However, these film critics did not dare to ask more questions.

They are just film critics. It is a great honor for them to be able to enter Liu Group’s private cinema to watch such a good movie in advance.

But I dare not try to pry into the boss's mind again.

Half an hour later, they took the money and left.

That afternoon.

The news that these five film critics were invited to watch "Identity" spread like wildfire and soon reached Zhang Lei's ears.

Zhang Lei asked his assistant to find out the news.

Two hours later, the assistant walked into the office to report.

"Mr. Zhang, I have contacted these five film critics, three of whom have seen our film 'Mystery Deep Eyes'."

"They never dared to reveal the storyline."

Zhang Lei nodded to show his understanding.

They have to sign a confidentiality agreement before watching the movie. If the leak is discovered, Liu Gang can make them bankrupt with his methods.

Zhang Lei's assistant continued.

"The two critics who hadn't seen the film both praised Identity and said it was a rare masterpiece."

Zhang Lei's face turned cold and he asked.

"What do the other three say?"

The assistant reported truthfully and said.

“They also said it was a rare masterpiece.”

"I asked them how it compared to 'Mystery Deep Eyes', and they sounded very embarrassed."

"I would say that Identity and The Dark Eyes are equally good, 50-50, about the same."

"Anyway, the point is, these two movies of the same genre will be in a close race this summer."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei's face darkened and he asked.

"Zhu Yuanju, Mao Qianyi, and Gao Man's scenes were not edited out?"

Assistant: "It was cut. They are not in the film."

Zhang Lei was silent for a long time.

what?

The script of a suspense film is not like a comedy, and the plot of each scene needs to be carefully polished.

The story logic must be rigorous, and generally one small move can affect the entire structure.

With the scenes of the three main actors cut out, it would be impossible to tell a complete story.

How could Qin Xun edit another logically self-consistent movie that is even comparable to the carefully crafted "Mystery Case Deep Eyes"?

What a hell!

We spent five full years crafting our book!

suddenly.

Zhang Lei slammed the table and started cursing.

"Those three people are lying. Their hesitant answers must be because they received dirty money and wanted to praise "Identity"."

"I thought they were very principled. They refused to praise "Mystery Deep Eyes" even when asked to do so. So it turns out that they didn't pay enough?"

The assistant hesitated and said.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't think they are lying from their tone. In fact, I can hear a hint of something else."

She stared at Zhang Lei's expression and spoke carefully.

“ID may be a little better than The Dark Knight Rises.”

Zhang Lei glanced at his assistant and saw that she looked serious, and his heart sank.

This assistant has been with her for many years. He is diligent and capable, and his ability to read people's expressions is first-class.

She said that she could hear the film critics' sincere praise for "Identity" over the phone, which meant that it was certain that the film was a good one.

Zhang Lei lowered his head and tapped his fingers on the table, faster and faster.

After a while, he raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"This movie doesn't have to make money, as long as it doesn't lose money, and we have to maintain the company's reputation."

"Add another 1000 million for publicity and promotion!"

"Take the money and smash it to death!"

He thought about it and said sharply.

"Just shout out the promotional slogan, saying that "Mystery Deep Eyes" is... one of the most anticipated suspense films... in the past 10 years!"
