Huang Guang glanced at Zhuge Jianming and said, "Want some? Too bad you don't have good eyesight. We don't even have enough vegetables for ourselves every day!"
Zhuge Jianming chuckled and said, "Teachers, look at our cameraman, carrying the camera every day through wind and rain. He may not have done any great work, but he certainly puts in a lot of effort. Can you bear to see him eating fast food for every meal? How about next time we provide some ingredients and ask Teacher Chen to cook it all in one pot, so that our cameraman can have a better meal?"
Huang Guangqi was puzzled. "Mr. Zhuge, how can you order takeout in such a desolate place? Why don't you just rent a local villager to cook for you?"
Zhuge Jianming was speechless. "Teacher Huang, in such a remote village, where do we order takeout? We all ask the villagers to cook for us, but compared to Teacher Chen's cooking skills, well, it's really incomparable!"
Huang Guang muttered, "Someone's already cooking, so why are you still talking about fast food? I think you guys are just too picky, always thinking about eating well!"
Huang Xiaoping chuckled as he looked at Huang Guang's dissatisfaction. "Teacher Chen, it's mainly because your dishes are so delicious. Especially when you're eating, the staff can't leave. You know how it feels to see something but not be able to eat it!"
"Eating isn't a big problem, but you have to be skillful."
Fang Yang interjected, "We can't discuss any issues openly, nor can we force them during the show. We have to find opportunities to do so, like using a 'tit-for-tat' approach, adding a carrot after a stick. This will increase the show's entertainment value and also indirectly show that Teacher Chen's cooking has won over everyone on the production team, who are willing to go against their principles for a single dish. This is a great angle!"
Chen He's eyes lit up as he listened. "What President Fang said makes sense. There's an old saying that laws shouldn't be passed on lightly, let alone food. Can you eat such unforgettable food without spending money? Especially the kind that requires overtime, you absolutely have to pay extra!"
Fang Yang chuckled as he looked at Chen He. He hadn't expected Chen He to understand so quickly and start bargaining with Huang Xiaoping right away. Fang Yang didn't want to see constant compromise, and one-sided suppression wasn't a magic formula for the show's long-term survival. A back-and-forth competition was the key to a show's success!
The two sides argued endlessly for a while. Li Zeyun mediated between them, while Fang Yang remained uninvolved, his thoughts already drifting to the movies during the National Day holiday. Although there were still more than twenty days left, the movies that had been scheduled for release early had already begun to fight for dominance, and no one wanted to fall behind.
"The Ancient Tomb" and "Project Gutenberg" are the biggest competitors of "Operation Red Sea". Their publicity methods are extremely ruthless. No one wants to not make the biggest profit during this National Day holiday!
Aside from the lead actor Zhang Zemin being able to speak out, the biggest promotional significance of "Operation Red Sea" is its role as a tribute to the National Day.
As a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, "Operation Red Sea," the first 3D war film, is of extraordinary significance. This alone is enough to wreak havoc on a large scale, not to mention the national propaganda efforts. I believe it will definitely surpass the box office performance of the Spring Festival films in the past!
However, what is necessary cannot be lacking. In the past six months, Yuewen Entertainment Media has only had pitifully low income and low expenditure. Seeing that the publicity expenditure of "Ancient Tomb" is hundreds of millions, Yang Huajin gritted his teeth and squeezed out 50 million. This was only because "Fire Phoenix" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" sold for a good price. Otherwise, just raising this amount of money would have severely strained the company's funds. It's just that the construction has been too cash-intensive all along!
Fortunately, all the movies and TV series have entered the final stage during this period. Even if not all of them can be converted into revenue immediately, at least these two TV series can support us for a while. Once "Operation Red Sea" is released, it will be a huge success. Fang Yang is confident that it will definitely bring in 200 million yuan in box office revenue every day during the National Day holiday. Yuewen Film Line is its own company, and it should be fine to temporarily extract a portion of the box office revenue even if funds are tight!
After that meeting, Chen and Huang Guang, the four members of the "Back to Field" program, seemed to have unlocked their full potential, and they roasted Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming so hard on the show that they brought endless laughter to the audience.
The show "Back to Field," which initially seemed a bit boring, has become increasingly popular due to the banter between the four main characters. Each episode consistently attracts over 30 million viewers online, and sometimes, with the appearance of a big-name celebrity, the number can even break 40 or 50 million. After all, the celebrity effect always draws in some die-hard fans to support the show!
Fang Yang also uses this opportunity to display movie and TV series trailers. As long as it's not a dry, hard-sell advertisement, viewers will open the billboard during their breaks to take a look. The effect is much better than outdoor advertising. According to Li Zeyun's statistics, almost 80% of viewers will open it to take a look. As for whether they can be converted into real customers, it doesn't really matter. Being able to spread the word is the greatest success!
Fang Yang's outrageous actions have also attracted the attention of many film and television companies. After all, the click rate that has shocked most people is undeniable. In less than a month, nearly 200 million clicks have been achieved, which anyone with a keen eye can see. Once the movie starts, the box office can be guaranteed. This is a golden advertising channel that no film and television company can ignore!
As companies lavishly spent money, the National Day holiday arrived. After spending the morning at home watching the exhilarating military parade, many people flocked to cinemas in the afternoon. The six or seven blockbuster movies were enough to satisfy most people's viewing needs.
Although it didn't cost much, "Operation Red Sea" was just as popular as "The Tomb Raider" and "Project Gutenberg." With the support of official media and Fang Yang's brilliant performance on the live streaming website, the visceral and thrilling war scenes of "Operation Red Sea" naturally resonated with both young and old people on this special day.
During the National Day holiday, most of the company's employees brought their families to the newly completed Qixing Cinema. As an internal cinema, Qixing Cinema is completely free for employees, whether it's an internal or external movie, and Yuewen Group doesn't care about the cost.
Fang Yang and his friends sat in the waiting hall watching the company employees happily bring their families into the screening rooms. Almost all five screening rooms were full. Several hundred people seemed like a lot, but once the flow was divided, except for a little congestion when buying drinks, several hundred people entered without anyone noticing. It was like a pebble thrown into a pond, creating a few ripples before returning to calm.
