Tencent Video's defection caused a chain reaction.
It was good to lean against a big tree for shade. Most of these second and third-tier film and television companies that had defected were mainly focused on TV dramas, and the movie business was mostly a side business.
They filmed one or two movies a year, and most of them were low-budget productions, hoping to win big with a small budget.
Of course, in most cases, their wishes would fail. These movies were either mediocre or scolded when they were released. The number of lucky people who could become dark horses in a year could be counted with five fingers.
This was also their confidence in defecting.
TV dramas mainly ate on the provinces, satellite TV, and online video platforms.
On the online platform, it was obvious that Monster Industries and Tencent Video had more say.
More than 100 film and television company representatives had come, including all the companies in the industry that Hua Xia could bring out. More than 50 of them stood up on the spot.
According to the ratio, it was more than one-third.
The remaining ones were represented by nine top film and television companies. They were mainly in the movie business and needed to carry the bowl of rice of domestic offline theaters.
However, Ye Qing saw something different in the eyes of the remaining film and television company representatives.
When some of the representatives met Ye Qing's eyes, they were no longer evasive. Instead, they nodded imperceptibly.
Some things could be conveyed through eye contact.
These people told Ye Qing with their eyes that they were now in Cao's camp, but their hearts were elsewhere. When the meeting was over, they would find an opportunity to avoid those big shots and quietly express their sincerity to Monster Industries.
Wei Zhixiang, the helm of Na Mei Pictures, also stood up at this time.
His expression was so bad that he could act in a zombie movie. "Mr. Ye, since many of our peers in the industry are interested in the virtual world, let us go back and hold a meeting to discuss it seriously before giving you an answer, okay?"
"You also know that the bigger the company, the more bloated the internal board of directors' structure. When we make a major decision, we always have to have an endless meeting before we can reach a conclusion. "
"I understand, I understand." Ye Qing certainly did not expect the entire film and television industry to fall into the arms of Monster Industries after a meeting.
It was already beyond Ye Qing's expectations that so many film and television companies would rebel today.
"Mr. Ye, shall we also go back and hold a board meeting to discuss?" The two CEOs of Xinli World and Glory Film and Television stood up.
The meeting came to an end.
In the guest hotel in the western suburbs, rooms had been arranged for these big shots. At the end of the meeting, there would be special service personnel to lead them back to their rooms.
Taking advantage of the fact that Ye Qing was walking at the front, Wei Zhixiang, the head of Na Mei Pictures, deliberately lagged behind. Like an angry lion, he looked at the people behind him.
"Brother … Brother Xiang, I still have something to do, so I have to leave first." A film company representative, who had expressed his intention to follow in the footsteps of the Monster Industries, quickly bowed and apologized to Wei Zhixiang and the other big shots.
After the representative left in a hurry, another person came up to him and said, "Brother Xiang, Boss Wei, Brother Dong, I have to go back to the company for a board meeting. I can't have tea with you tonight. If you have any decisions, just call me and I'll listen to your instructions. "
"Uncle Xiang …"
"Brother Xiang …"
Before Wei Zhixiang could return to his room, almost half of the big shots had run away.
"Ingrates, a bunch of ingrates who think they're mothers." When Wei Zhixiang and the few big shots of Xinli World and Glory Film and Television passed by the hall, Wei Zhixiang fiercely slapped the coffee table where the few of them had once chatted and laughed, twisting the entire film and television industry into a rope.
The coffee table made a loud clanging sound, startling the service staff behind him.
Xinli World's boss, Zao Xinwei, waved at the service staff and motioned for them to stand aside first. Then, he helped Wei Zhixiang to his seat. "Old Xiang, calm down, calm down."
"How could you and I have ever thought that the first to jump out and take the lead would be Tencent Film and Television?"
"This penguin has always been at odds with us. They always want to establish an independent kingdom."
"Now, the Independent Kingdom and Monster Industries have rolled under the blanket and become the United Nations."
"It's no wonder that the younger brothers below have such thoughts."
"If I didn't have hundreds of cinema chains in my hands, even I would have such thoughts." Pan Dong, the boss of Glory Film and Television, interrupted indignantly. "Now, almost all of the main TV series have run away."
"Main TV series?" Wei Zhixiang snorted coldly. "In the end, didn't you see that there were still many people with ulterior motives who were flirting with the president?"
"Look, there are at least 15 movie studios that want to defect over."
"Ah?" Pan Dong, the boss of Glory Film and Television, had been smoking his cigarette in the end and really didn't notice this detail.
"Then what should we do?"
"Won't we lose half of our allies now?" As Pan Dong spoke, his hand reached into his pocket again to feel for the cigarette box.
"You're asking me, what should we do?" Wei Zhixiang clenched his fists, his tone as indestructible as an iron hammer. "What else can we do? If you want to smash all the cinema chains in your hands and throw them out, then you can go to Monster Industries and hand over the copyright."
"What a joke." Xinli World's boss, Zao Xinwei, quickly shook his head. "I don't want the hundreds of cinema chains in my hands that make a lot of money every day. Would I take fake medicine and go to Monster Industries?"
"If they have the ability, then let them screw up the cinema chain." Glory Film and Television's boss, Pan Dong, spat out a thick column of smoke. "How can I not see the ambition of Monster Industries? When we really hand over the copyright, won't we become lambs at the mercy of others?"
"With the copyright in hand and the offline cinema in hand, they can't think of playing tricks."
"Yes, as long as we don't nod our heads, they can't play tricks." Xinli World's boss, Zao Xinwei, clenched his fists and sneered. "None of those people know what they're worth. They think that with holographic glasses, their company can change and make movies that people can't tell the difference between real and fake."
"Even the pseudo-3D is like a cartoon, what kind of virtual reality do they want to play?"
…
There was a party in the hall, and there was also a party in a quiet building in the reception hotel.
This was Ye Qing's residence.
On weekdays, this independent building, which was used to entertain important guests, not only had a hall that could hold a small ball, but also a conference room that could accommodate 34 people.
As soon as the meeting ended, Ye Qing got up and came here, asking the staff to immediately prepare snacks and drinks.
The representatives of the various film and television companies who were about to rebel had already understood. As soon as the meeting ended, they followed the footsteps of the Monster Industries staff.
Due to the large number of people, the staff simply set up an outdoor cocktail party on the lawn behind the small building.
Ye Qing stood in front of the silver lights on the ground, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said to the crowd, "Everyone, I can understand that everyone chose Monster Industries. At this time, you must be very nervous and think that this is a very risky bet."
"However, since you have chosen to stand on the side of Monster Industries."
"Monster Industries will not let your bet go to waste."
"I think everyone must be very curious, when will the holographic glasses be released, and what will the results of the release be?"
"At two o 'clock tomorrow afternoon, the holographic glasses will be officially released to the public."
"The day of the release is the day of the online sale."
The eyes of the representatives of the various film and television companies who rebelled suddenly bloomed.
They were not people in the electronic technology circle, so they did not know that Monster Industries had released information to the public as early as last week that they were going to release a brand-new product.
It turned out that it was going to be released tomorrow. No wonder Monster Industries hurriedly invited everyone over.
At the press conference, the holographic glasses could be released, and the news of offline movies and television could be watched simultaneously, just like in the cinema.
Even if there were only a few dozen film and television companies' movie rights, it was major news that would cause a sensation in the world's film and television industry.
After Director Ding, the third representative of Fantasy New Garden to stand up asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, can I ask about the price of the holographic glasses?"
The price was related to the consumer's spending power.
"There are two versions of the holographic glasses. One has its own image processing chip, and the price is 8,600 yuan."
"This one is prepared for users who don't plan to change their phones. After the user buys the glasses, they only need to download an app on their phone. Of course, phones that cost less than 2,000 yuan may not be able to enjoy the smooth image quality. "
The other one does not have a chip, and the price is 8,000 yuan. But users need the latest magic crystal phone with an integrated image processing chip. "
"8,600 …"
Even if this price was changed into US dollars, the representatives of these film and television companies would not have the heart of "it's so expensive".
It was so cheap that it was unacceptable.
For example, if one day Apple announced that they had developed a holographic glasses that could allow users to be deeply immersed in another world and not be able to distinguish reality from illusion.
Then, the price of this pair of glasses would be 8,600 yuan.
Consumers and technology news websites would definitely jump out and scold Apple.
Dream on. There was only one possibility for Apple to have such heaven-defying technology and conscience.
They had been launched by aliens.
If it were Monster Industries, it would be really difficult to evaluate.
The company's previous product was the Banshee Flying Machine, the product before that was a mobile phone, and the product before that was a car. No one could figure out their research and development ideas.
"Mr. Ye, after the holographic glasses are launched, what adjustments should we make to the content of the film and television?"
"If we want to show the two videos we saw before on this pair of glasses, do we need to change the special filming equipment?"
"Yes." Ye Qing nodded. "The pictures taken by your high-definition cameras can only be transcoded by us to become a pseudo-holographic movie with better effects than 3D."
"We have transcoded TV series here that can be used for reference."
"To achieve the imaging effect of those two videos, either shoot with an IMAX 3D camera or use the professional cameras provided by our company."
"There are only six cameras of this kind now, and they are all in Director Ding's crew for filming. But don't worry, I will let the company equip enough cameras. If you are interested, you can send people to our company to learn filming techniques and rent cameras. "
No one was surprised. Filming had always been about getting what you paid for.
Even Monster Industries could not shoot the effect of a sci-fi blockbuster with an entry-level camera that cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Everyone still had countless questions to ask, and there were also a lot of cooperation plans waiting to be communicated with Monster Industries.
Of course, these questions could not all be asked to Ye Qing. As the waiters and chefs pushed up rows of dining carts filled with exquisite snacks, the reception after the meeting officially began.
Monster Industries had almost the same number of reception staff as the representatives of the film and television company.
They were responsible for answering everyone's various doubts, discussing the preliminary plan of copyright cooperation, and profit distribution.
Ye Qing was in a good mood.
Under the silver moonlight, amidst the laughter and the sound of toasting, Ye Qing raised the low alcohol content champagne and clinked glasses with everyone.
Just as Ye Qing was slightly tipsy, a woman with glasses and a mature and intellectual beauty unique to her age took a step forward.
"That …"
