The one who broke down was of course Chai Hua. When he learned that the box office of "Those Years" exceeded 300 million in just one week, he felt terrible.
He didn't know how to describe the complex emotions for a moment.
I spent so much energy and resources just to suppress Chen Bei and his new movie.
In the end, all efforts were in vain, while other people's movies still had high box office and made a lot of money.
It was even because of his suppression that the new movie became so popular and the box office was so high, which made him look very stupid. Now, those who know the inside story are all laughing at him in secret.
At the same time, because of his feud with Chen Bei, the overseas assets he controlled were now depreciating wildly. This was really a loss of both the wife and the army.
But from another perspective, his strong desire to take over Guokr Entertainment once again proved the correctness of his vision.
If the two parties had reached an agreement at the beginning, he would now be the largest investor in "Those Years".
Not only can he make a lot of money from this movie, but he can also get a lot of his own actors in to star in it, increasing his voice in the entertainment industry.
He even imagined that through the springboard of Guokr Entertainment, he might become the godfather of mainland entertainment in the future.
However, all this has now become a dream bubble. He can only watch Chen Beifeng flourish and watch Chen Bei stand at the height in the industry that he wants to reach.
If the movie had simply made money, Chai Hua wouldn't have been so upset.
The key point is that while the movie was selling well, Chen Bei immediately released the movie soundtrack.
It includes four classic songs from the movie and some pure music.
This can be considered a movie peripheral product. It's not like no one has thought about this before, but most of the so-called soundtracks don't sell very well.
This kind of product is only for die-hard fans and has a limited audience.
But this time, the situation with the soundtrack of "Those Years" was completely different. Once it was released, the market response was quite enthusiastic. Tens of thousands of copies were sold on the first day, and it was heading towards 100,000 copies in a week.
Later, many industry insiders and so-called experts and professors analyzed this and finally came to a conclusion that the reason why the soundtrack sold so well was because Chen Bei added an attribute to it that should not have existed.
After this series of hype and manipulation, Chen Bei has linked all film products with love.
In this case, the soundtrack's own attributes are weakened a lot, while the gift attributes are increased a lot!
Chinese people are still relatively conservative, and many young men and women are worried about how to express their love to their significant other.
Now with the soundtrack, they suddenly realized that their troubles seemed to have been solved.
Just buying a disc like this and giving it to someone you love is enough to express your feelings.
This way, even if the other party disagrees, the relationship between the two parties will not become awkward. This is simply good news for introverted singles!
In addition, during the release of the movie, Guokr specifically updated the love stories of many people on Weibo, especially those cases where couples had broken up but got back together, which made more and more people flock to the peripheral products of "Those Years".
Therefore, practitioners in the film industry were surprised to find that, leaving aside the box office revenue, Chen Bei had made a fortune from peripheral products alone!
For a moment, many people in the circle were silent. They were deeply shocked by Chen Bei's actions.
They finally realized that the movies Chen Bei played were different from the movies they had in mind.
While they were still racking their brains to figure out how to attract investment, how to find good actors and directors, and how to make a critically and commercially successful movie, Chen Bei had already started thinking about how to develop movie derivative products to make money.
How can we compare? The levels are completely different. It's simply overwhelming!
So the more Chai Hua knew that Chen Bei made money, the more uncomfortable he felt. He felt like a cat tearing a dog apart.
Later on, Chai Hua even disconnected from the Internet. He didn't dare to watch it anymore and didn't want to be upset anymore.
However, this does not mean that he will give up. Since he cannot suppress "Those Years", he will find a way to mess with Chen Bei's other projects.
Didn’t Chen Bei invest in another movie called “Black Gold”? Just from the name, you can tell it’s not a serious movie. This thing must be strictly reviewed!
"I can't cause you any losses on 'Those Years', but from today on, don't think about getting too comfortable with your other films!"
Chai Hua was furious and called the person he had previously invited to dinner.
As soon as the call was connected, a slightly annoyed voice came from the other end:
"Mr. Chai, let's contact each other less in the future. I'm not very capable, and I really can't help you with that matter."
Upon hearing this, Chai Hua was stunned. He frowned and said:
"Why did Director Shao suddenly say this? Is there something I didn't do well enough? And this wasn't my idea. It was my boss's instruction. You should know that."
"Young Master Chai, I'll tell you the truth. I can't get involved in the fight between you gods. I'm afraid of death!"
A fight between gods?
Chai Hua was stunned again. How could he say that?
He admitted that Chen Bei had certain accomplishments in film, but to say that it was a fight between gods was a bit too much. How could Chen Bei compare with the big boss behind him?
