After Ye Qing ended the company meeting, the company's publicity department and contact department sent out invitations to Hua Xia's film and television companies.
Monster Industries' reputation was naturally needless to say. As early as Monster Industries' debut, film and television companies had been knocking on their door to hand over their business cards.
These film and television companies hoped that Monster Industries would think of them when they had intentions to shoot advertisements or hold large-scale celebrations.
With the growth of Monster Industries, the film and television companies that came to hand over their business cards also became more and more advanced.
There were even top celebrity managers who came to recommend themselves, hoping that Monster Industries would consider using their celebrities as product spokespersons for their products. The endorsement fees would be 50% off.
This was a kind of social climb.
Some of the top celebrities in the country regarded it as an honor to be the spokespersons for Burberry, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and other big brands.
Of course, those who could be chosen were rare. Those big brands only had eyes for international superstars. They thought that the standards and temperament of Hua Xia's celebrities were still lacking.
In the eyes of A-list celebrities like Hua Xia, Monster Industries was the top big brand.
If they could be the spokespersons for their products, it would play a huge role in promoting their fame.
Because Monster Industries' products were sold all over the world, countless people flocked to them like ducks.
If they could be the spokespersons for Monster Industries' products, then when foreigners received the products, wouldn't they be the first to see them?
Regardless of whether they knew them or not, it was always right to be familiar with their faces.
Big companies usually had strict standards for product endorsements. If they endorsed their own products, then during the validity of the contract, they couldn't think about having a foot in two boats and bringing in other brands to earn extra money.
They were willing to give up half of their profits for Monster Industries. Unfortunately, Monster Industries' exclusive spokesperson was always that shiny silver monster logo.
Now Monster Industries had actually issued a summons to these film and television companies.
Monster Industries' CEO, Ye Qing, was personally hosting the meeting?
Some of the small and medium film and television companies that received the invitation were so excited that they almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.
Even if the time left for them to prepare was so short that they could only make a hasty decision and set off on the road. More than half of the film and television companies replied that their CEOs had already begun to push back all their schedules for tomorrow to ensure that they would arrive in Shanghai on time.
On the electronic invitation, even the name of the hotel hadn't been booked yet …
When the film companies asked about the location of the party, Monster Industries simply sent a group reply saying that the company had prepared two hotels and that they would confirm which one it would be at later.
But in reality?
Monster Industries contacted all the five-star hotels in Shanghai that were capable of hosting large-scale parties. So far, none of them were willing to accept the order.
The preparation time was too short. Which famous hotel didn't have banquets and meetings every day?
If he accepted the order from Monster Industries, he would have to push away all the hotel guests tomorrow. The gains did not make up for the losses.
In the end, Monster Industries used their connections to successfully book a hotel.
The destination was the Western Suburbs Hotel, the same place where the director of the US Social Security Bureau had hosted a banquet for Ye Qing. This hotel was not open to the public. Ordinary people would not be able to book a banquet hall here no matter how rich they were. This place only hosted some major international conferences or was used to receive foreign heads of state and official teams.
Because of this, the hotel in the western suburbs had enough space to host a banquet for Monster Industries.
…
At noon the next day.
Representatives from more than a hundred film and television companies from all over the country arrived in Shanghai one after another by flight or by car.
These more than a hundred film and television companies included as much as 90% of Hua Xia's theatrical and satellite television film and television resources producers. All the film and television companies with outstanding works were included.
In addition, there were dozens of independent producers and well-known directors who wandered outside of film and television companies.
These film and television professionals who loved to work alone and did not like to be restricted by film and television companies were usually more talented and arrogant.
To be able to gather these people in just a few days was enough to prove the strength of Monster Industries.
The banquet was held at the Western Suburbs Hotel in Shanghai.
Since two o 'clock in the afternoon, this hotel located in the quiet greenery gradually had the momentum of a world-famous car show.
Mercedes, Bentley Mulsanne, Speedster, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ghost. In addition to these well-known brands, there was also a large group of Weilai EP9, Ferrari 599 GTB, Maserati Zegna, and so on.
Almost every luxury car door opened, and a big shot in the film and television industry who could make second and third-tier stars excited walked out.
Na 'Mei Pictures.
New Li World.
Glory Film and Television.
Five States Culture.
Lehua Media.
Tencent Entertainment.
Mango TV …
Gathered around these film and television big shots were some famous directors that the audience was familiar with. Beside a few big shots, there were also new female stars wearing dresses and holding limited edition bags in their hands. These female stars all had the potential to be popular, but they lacked time to settle down and had not yet stepped into the A-list.
Among the big shots who came, there were Na 'Mei, Xinli, Glory, Mango, and dozens of companies represented by Tencent. They were undoubtedly the stabilizing force of this group of film and television big shots.
The scale of these ten companies combined could beat the companies ranked 11th to 100th on the Hua Xia film and television rankings together.
These big shots were secretly tearing each other apart, but on the surface, they were harmonious.
After getting out of the car and meeting in the hotel, they all showed a surprised expression and hugged each other to say hello. Then, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, they began to introduce the directors or new female stars around them, and hoped that the other party would consider them when they had suitable resources.
The latter gave a thumbs up and turned to introduce the people on his side.
After greeting each other, the big shots of Na 'Mei Pictures, New Li World, Glory Film and Television, and Lehua Media, these old film and television companies, gathered together.
Seniority was never outdated, especially in the film and television industry.
Compared to new film and television companies like Tencent, Wanda, and Ali, which relied on huge external capital to invest money to establish new film and television companies.
Na 'Mei and Xinli, who had been gradually growing in the film and television industry from the early days and relied on their works, were faintly repelled by them, and also had a natural sense of pride.
Now, these big shots of film and television companies, who regarded film and television as their core projects, sat together at a round table in the lounge, ready to talk first.
They were tearing each other apart internally, but when it came to external affairs, they would always unite to attack and defend.
Wei Zhixiang, the helmsman of Na 'Mei Pictures, sat in the middle, tasting a cigar and crossing his legs. He asked in a casual tone, "Do you have any inside information?"
"Not at the moment." Xinli World's CEO, Zao Xinwei, glanced at the new female star standing behind Wei Zhixiang with a slightly disgusted look. She was excitedly taking selfies with her mobile phone. "Old Wei, you can't just choose people based on their faces, you also have to look at their morals."
"Look at the people you brought. Are they collapsing or not?"
"I'm just bringing them to see the world." Wei Zhixiang, the helmsman of Na 'Mei Pictures, waved his hand indifferently and continued the previous topic. "Don't you think that this party is a bit unusual?"
"Look, the invitation we received, on the surface, said that Monster Industries is interested in in-depth cooperation with Hua Xia Film and Television to jointly create a new standard for the global film and television industry in the future."
"But think about it, Monster Industries is a technology company."
"Their technology products are selling well. Why do they want to call us all together to hold a new standard meeting?"
"Do you think this meeting will benefit us?"
"Even if there are benefits, why should the giant beast let it fall on our heads?"
"Old Wei's words make sense." Pan Dong, the boss of Glory Film and Television, nodded. "I also think that this party is too sudden. No company has ever held such a sudden party."
"Monster Industries' approach is like …"
"Like those directors who suddenly thought of some ideas and hurriedly came to us with a proposal to cheat us of money."
The boss of Lehua Media nodded and agreed. "Look, all the leaders of the film and television industry in Hua Xia are here. It's more lively than the sword competition at Mount Hua."
"The mysterious CEO of Monster Industries is personally attending. How can something good happen to us?"
"We came in person to give face to the CEO." Wei Zhixiang, the helmsman of Na 'Mei Pictures, snorted. "Let me tell you something I know. Isn't Monster Industries close to our Director Ding? Recently, Director Ding even helped them film that sci-fi war masterpiece."
"I have a good relationship with Director Ding. Before coming, I specifically called Director Ding to ask."
"Guess what Director Ding said?"
"What did he say?" The bosses of the other three film and television companies perked up their ears.
"Director Ding said that Monster Industries has developed a kind of display technology that transcends time. At this party, Monster Industries wants to integrate our film and television resources and see if we can broadcast it on that kind of display and in the cinema simultaneously. "
Wei Zhixiang, the helmsman of Na 'Mei Pictures, said this insider information.
The bosses of the other three film and television companies immediately glared and quickly expressed their opinions.
"Integration in a dream?"
"They're dreaming. I don't agree."
"I can't accept this."
"I can't accept it either." Wei Zhixiang, the helmsman of Na 'Mei Pictures, put down the cigar in his hand and made an OK gesture to the others.
"I've revealed the inside story to you without reservation. It hasn't been easy for our companies to come this far. In the early years, we were hammered to death by Hollywood."
"Things have gotten a little better in recent years. There's also Tencent, Wanda, and Alibaba. This kind of outsider company is jealous of the plate we've painstakingly raised and wants to come in and snatch the fruit from us."
"Of course, we can't agree."
"Monster Industries is strong, but that's also in industrial technology. What does it have to do with our film and television industry?"
"Even a company like Tencent, which can call the wind and rain on the Internet, has to give us three points in terms of film and television resources. Monster Industries wants to rely on some new display technology to take away the simultaneous release rights of our future film and television resources. Isn't this funny? "
"If they have the ability, they can learn from Tencent and set up their own shelves, self-directing, self-acting, and self-selling."
"Then let's unite again and advance and retreat together." Xinli World's boss, Zao Xinwei, quietly stretched out his hand under the table.
Glory Film and Television's boss, Pan Dong, put his hand on it. "No problem. Hollywood was such a fierce monster back then, and we were able to block it. Can Monster Industries have one percent of Hollywood's position in the film and television industry?"
