Chapter 169 Lianxing Dilemma
Zhuo Yi thought it was abnormal. I don’t know if this guy was traveling through time and space, but he felt that he was much more sensitive than ordinary people. This was definitely not an accident, nor was it targeted at the "Yongsheng Movie". So there was only one possibility, this was for Zhuo Yi.
In addition to the damage to the reputation of "Lianxing Cinema" in this leak, the biggest loss was the Xiang brothers' "Yongsheng Movie" because the leaked two films "Supreme" and "Lame Hao" were produced by "Yongsheng".
It is said that Xiang Huasheng had already posted a reward news on the road. He wanted to dig out which bastard was and then he couldn't get along with "Yongsheng". He must kill that bastard.
No wonder the Xiang brothers were angry and wanted to kill people. The box office of "Supreme" and "Lame Hao" was soaring. Even if there were ten theaters added, they were still full every day. They were about to set the highest box office record again. Suddenly, they kicked the Xiang brothers at a critical moment. It would be strange if the Xiang brothers were not angry and wanted to eat people. Xiang Xiasheng has never been a good person.
The day after the video was leaked, in Causeway Bay, Mong Kok and other places where people were crowded, pirated vendors began to sell pirated CDs of "Supreme" and "Lame" in the streets and alleys.
The sales volume is unprecedentedly good, and the sales are so hot! The Xiang brothers went to the night market to see it, and their hearts were bleeding. A hawker pushed a whole cart of CDs, and in just ten minutes, it was sold out. Although the hawker was finally dragged to the back alley by Xiang Huasheng and broke his legs, it was useless at all.
If the most powerful force in the world is the Urban Management Brigade, then the most stubborn enemy in the world is these vendors. Chairman Mao’s guerrilla warfare essence is fully demonstrated. As long as there is profit, they can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
In fact, this is also because the box office of "The Supreme" and "The Lame" are so popular, with a very good reputation. Every audience who has watched "The Supreme" praises the film, which makes the audience who have never watched it even more itchy.
However, tickets for these two films are hard to come by. Although they have been released for more than half a month, you still cannot buy tickets for the same day. You can only book tickets for the same day for two or even three days later. It's really uncomfortable.
These guys who sell pirated copies are extremely guilty to filmmakers like Zhuo Yi, but in the eyes of these ordinary audiences, they are as cute as the savior. Oh my God! I can finally see "The Supreme", so I still buy them home and watch them a few times.
So, this morning, the usually popular ticket office of the "Lianxing Cinema" suddenly became much deserted. This time, the Xiang brothers suffered heavy losses, although Hong Kong's piracy industry has always been at the forefront of this world.
But even the fastest-efficient pirated merchants wait until the film is drawn and the genuine disc is released. At this time, there are no such advanced shooting equipment that can steal genuine movies in the cinema. For example, the situation where the movie has not been drawn yet, pirated videos have already been flying all over the sky.
"Yongsheng Movie" and "Lianxing Cinema" have almost become laughing stocks in the industry, and Zhuo Yi is even more sure that this matter is premeditated.
"Old Li, you have more experience. Do you think the most likely thing to leak this time is where the secret is leaked." Zhuo Yi said seriously: "Don't worry about anything, tell the truth."
"Well..." Li Jing chanted deeply: "We've never had such a problem in the years since our "Lianxing Cinema" was established. In addition to the unity and intention of employees, the confidentiality system of our company is the most complete and strict in Hong Kong cinemas, and it is almost impossible to make mistakes."
He looked at Guan Zhilin, hesitated for a while and then said: "Recently, General Manager Guan actively expanded the company's scale and invested in and acquired several small cinema companies. These companies have just taken over, and in many aspects, they still couldn't keep up with the pace of our company for a while. The leak is likely to be spread from these small companies."
Then, after looking at Guan Zhilin, whose face turned pale, gritted her teeth and said firmly: "There is also General Manager Guan and Xiang Huaqiang, who is 'Yongsheng', have added more than a dozen theater broadcasts that we are not familiar with in order to alleviate the pressure of our company to play "Supreme" and "Lame Hao", without authorization. These dozens of film companies are also very likely to be leakers."
"Well..." Zhuo nodded expressionlessly, making people unable to guess whether he agrees or is negative.
After sitting silently for a while, Zhuo Yi suddenly said, "Old Li, go back first! I will leave this matter to you. Remember, no matter what the final result is, I want you to minimize the impact on our company. I don't want to hear the rumors outside."
"Zhizhi should not go back to the 'Lianxing Cinema' for the time being, and work on the 'Movie Dynasty' for the time being!" Zhuo Yi said to Guan Zhilin again. Then he stood up and said, "Old Li, you will be more responsible recently. Not only should you reduce the impact, but you should also dig out bad guys. This guy is the best for outsiders. If he is his own person, it will be a big disaster sooner or later."
A gleam of light appeared in Li Jing's eyes. "I understand! Boss Zhuo, don't worry, I will do my best to complete the task." Of course, he heard Zhuo Yi's tone. Zhuo Yi was testing himself. If this thing was done well, then he would likely replace Guan Zhilin's position and manage the entire huge "Lianxing Cinema".
If you don't do it well, you will likely receive your pension in advance. If you have such a thing in the company, Guan Zhilin, the manager, will bear the greatest responsibility. If you don't punish Guan Zhilin, you may be dissatisfied. However, Guan Zhilin's other identity is a popular female star. If Guan Zhilin is punished, the media will discredit Guan Zhilin's image.
Then the best way is to find a scapegoat, and Li Jing, the second leader of the "Lianxing Cinema", is the best scapegoat. Li Jing believes that if he doesn't handle this matter well, with Zhuo Yi's personality, he may be sacrificed.
"Boss! That's nothing, I'll go out first, you'll do it first." Li Jing took a moment and was about to go out.
Li Jing’s ability to understand Zhuo Yi’s intention does not mean that Guan Zhilin also understands Zhuo Yi’s profound thoughts.
As soon as Li Jing left, Guan Zhilin's eyes were red and she looked at Zhuo Yi with a sad look.
Of course, she thought Zhuo Yi was going to regain her power in the "Lianxing Cinema". She felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn't figure out that Zhuo Yi was doing this, but instead was protecting her.
Of course Zhuo Yi won't explain.
This guy is like this. Some things are always kept in my heart and I will bear them by myself.
