Chapter 769 Reciprocal Sanctions
China Film.
Office of the Chairman.
"Xiao Qin, to what extent does your conflict with Disney go?"
Director Han and Qin Dong were sitting across from each other, sipping tea.
Seeing Qin Dong whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Director Han, who was chatting, suddenly straightened up and asked about business.
"Director Han, it's not a conflict between me and Disney, but Disney has been expanding and wants to dominate Hollywood. This is not a good thing for us."
Qin Dong didn't look surprised when he heard this, he smiled and said this.
"A single family? Well, it's certainly not a good thing."
After hearing this, Director Han pondered for a moment and agreed with Qin Dong's statement.
Even if Director Han is not from North America, if Hollywood is unified by Disney, it will indeed not be a good thing for other foreign film markets that are focusing on going beyond the country.
In any industry, it is not a good thing for one company to dominate.
It can even be said that it is impossible for any country to allow one company to become dominant. It must control it, and special sanctions can be adopted at critical moments.
"Director Han, our country's economy is growing faster and faster. It has now become the world's second largest economy, and the movie box office market is also growing rapidly every year."
Every time Qin Dong came to China Film Academy, he had something to do. He couldn't come here to chat without any reason. When the topic reached this point, he just happened to say:
"Speaking of which, the conflict between me and Disney can be summed up in one sentence: the other party cannot see my rise."
"Thinking about Disney being the dominant company in Hollywood, they value our Chinese market."
"As for me, a famous figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, well, I don't have anything to say about myself, right?"
When Qin Dong said this, he smiled in hindsight, but he still wasn't that thick-skinned.
"It's nothing. You are right. You are indeed the face of our Chinese entertainment industry."
Director Han didn't care, but agreed with Qin Dong's claim.
"Thank you, Director Han, for your recognition."
There was no shy look on Qin Dong's face. His face was actually not that thin:
"People like me come from the world's second largest economy, and experts around the world predict that China will soon replace North America and become the world's largest economy."
"I have a happy cooperation with Warner, one of the six major Hollywood companies, and I have a close cooperative relationship with the other four major companies."
"Hollywood is the six major film and television companies recognized by the world, but Disney has the least relationship with me..."
"It just so happens that Disney's latest president, Robert Iger, is the youngest and most powerful among the six major Hollywood company presidents, and he is very capable."
"At the beginning of the millennium, after serving as the president of Disney, Robert took the initiative to acquire a series of companies, strengthening Disney, and allowing this behemoth to begin to have the ambition to swallow up the other six major companies and dominate Hollywood."
"So...this is where the conflict between me and Disney began."
"The appearance of me is not what Disney wants to see."
"Last year's Oscar was held because Robert wanted to suppress me and didn't want to see my fame continue to spread around the world."
Speaking of this, Qin Dong showed a playful smile and said:
"By the way, Director Han may not know, but I got some news recently."
"Robert Iger is using Disney's energy and money to buy off the women I had an intimate relationship with."
Director Han frowned. What is his main business?
As soon as he heard this, he immediately felt the conspiracy in it and asked in a deep voice:
"Inquiring about you? Or do you have a more sinister idea?"
"I don't want to send people to sneak into me to get information."
Qin shook his head and nodded again:
"Instead, I completely bribed these women to sue me."
"Sue me for threats, coercion, rape and other reasons, and take me to court."
"Hehe...Okay, okay, very good."
Director Han smiled when he heard this and even said a few good words, but his smile was a bit scary.
"It seems that I am still a little soft-hearted."
After a moment of silence, Director Han stood up and walked towards his desk, picked up the landline phone and dialed a number:
"Xiao Gao, how much is the domestic box office of Disney's movie [Guardians of the Galaxy] now?"
"Oh, 240 million yuan?"
"Very well, go ahead and do it secretly. I hope that after this movie is released in China, the box office will not exceed 300 million."
"that's all."
When he saw that Qin Dong wanted to defeat the Guardians of the Galaxy head-on, Director Han did not place too many restrictions on this Disney movie.
But now, we need to intensify our measures.
As the world's second largest economy, it is still the world's second largest movie box office.
When Qin Dong's movie "Interstellar" made 860 million yuan in domestic box office in half a month, Disney's Marvel superhero movie "Guardians of the Galaxy" only made 240 million yuan at the box office. Hey...
It is impossible to say that there are no restrictions.
Because a series of Marvel superhero movie series such as "Iron Man" and "Avengers" have spread their fame around the world, they have already been familiar and recognized by movie fans all over the world.
As a superhero movie in the same series, [Guardians of the Galaxy] has an innate bonus, with a box office of 240 million in half a month, which is obviously abnormal.
You must know that 99% of the time, a movie will account for about 70% to 80% of the total box office data in the first half of the month.
Just like Qin Dong's "Interstellar", the current domestic box office is 860 million, but the box office after release is estimated to be at most 13.4 billion, and it is impossible to reach 1.6 billion.
"Xiao Qin, all I can do is protect your rear, other things..."
After making the call, he returned to the sofa and sat opposite Qin Dong again. Director Han said in a serious voice:
"You still need to pay more attention when you are abroad."
"Especially when it comes to women, you see, doesn't this mean people find their weaknesses?"
The butt determines the position, and Director Han's position determines that he must support Qin Dong.
Even if you take some small measures for this, it is inevitable.
"Dr. Han, Confucius said: Food and color are the nature of food, and I deeply believe that."
Qin Dong said with a smile that he did not want to be bitten by a snake once and fear the well rope for ten years.
"But I also have means to counter it."
"Robert prides himself on the prestige of Disney, but he doesn't know the benefits it can give women. On the contrary, as a Chinese, I am more willing to give up than this behemoth Disney."
"That's why I know the news."
Director Han looked strange when he heard this and murmured to himself:
"I see."
Regarding women, he, as an old man, could not say much to a young man like Qin Dong.
Women are one of the taboos in Director Han's career and cannot be mentioned too much.
However, Qin Dong made a woman betray Disney, and instead valued Qin Dong more. This made Director Han feel that Xiao Qin's methods were not bad. It was a pity that Xiao Qin's methods were good, and he had a bright future in political conflicts.
"Director Han, Robert Iger is indeed a talented CEO."
Qin Dong's face suddenly darkened, and he said with a sinister expression:
"The methods he used against me were so cruel."
"It's definitely with the intention of completely destroying me."
"How could I give up? I decided to retaliate in equal measure."
"We will use the same method to retaliate, and when the news comes out..."
"I hope that when the domestic media report it, they can also include Robert's position as the president of Disney, which will also affect the influence of Disney's Marvel superhero movies in the country."
Director Han didn't think Qin Dong's harsh words made any sense to the sinister expression on his face. Instead, after being silent for a while, he said:
"Reciprocal countermeasures are a good statement and a good method."
"Xiao Qin, it's a pity that you don't take a political path."
"In the past few years, after Disney and its Marvel movies are released in China, I will arrange them one by one. I think it will be difficult to obtain good box office data."
"When the media encounters scandals involving Disney personnel, they will inevitably increase their efforts."
"Thank you, Mr. Han. I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine."
Qin Dong picked up the tea cup and said.
Conversation between smart people is so simple.
