After listening to Zao Xinwei's comforting words, Wei Zhixiang's stiff expression eased slightly.
Yes, Monster Industries would lose at least billions of yuan in this event.
One had to know that his Na Mei Film Company only invested a few billion in the production of movies each year. No matter how big Monster Industries was, they couldn't take this number seriously, right?
Even if they counted on the five million trial card users to buy the holographic glasses after the event.
How much could they count on?
Wei Zhixiang gave the most optimistic estimate. It would be a miracle if there were a million units.
"It's hard for us to turn back now."
Wei Zhixiang lamented to the two "allies" who were slightly younger than him, "It's the overwhelming victories in the past that blinded us and seriously underestimated the opponent this time."
"We shouldn't have chosen the opposing camp so decisively. We should have waited patiently for a while. This way, we still have room to maneuver."
Glory Film and Television boss Pan Dong muttered, "After experiencing it in the virtual world, I understand the horror of holographic glasses. Maybe it's really like what the president said, holographic glasses will completely replace traditional movie theaters in the future."
"You don't want to surrender and negotiate with Monster Industries, do you?"
Xinli World boss Zao Xinwei's eyes became strange. He looked at Pan Dong, "Let me tell you, among us, you, Old Pan, have offended Monster Industries the most."
"Don't hold the idea that the business world only has eternal interests and no eternal enemies."
"If they really cared about the spirit of business interests, they wouldn't have put you in the police station for a day. And they invited so many international stars at all costs? "
"I'm just saying." Pan Dong raised his head and said stubbornly, "You guys wait and see."
"In another ten hours, it will be the release of Qingyu Media's new movie."
"We joined forces with all the theaters in the country to suppress this movie. Didn't they want to save face and take the initiative to withdraw the movie's traditional theatrical release plan?"
"I'd like to see how they can increase the box office in ten hours."
The three people present were very familiar with the movie "The Well in My Home." It was also the tough attitude of these three people that made the movie completely withdraw from the traditional theaters.
Wei Zhixiang's gaze darkened. "Old Pan, wasn't the hairstyle exclusive to your company in the previous movie?"
The latter nodded, and Wei Zhixiang continued to ask him if he had the original version of the movie.
"You want to …" Pan Dong showed an expression of sudden realization.
Wei Zhixiang snorted. "That's right. It's exactly what you think."
It was not unprecedented in the film and television industry to post high-definition film sources online for free when the rival movie was in full swing.
However, this method was very detestable, and it was also very easy to be caught in the tail.
"I don't have the original source. When I signed the exclusive distribution contract, I was still hoping to make a fortune with this movie." Pan Dong shook his head regretfully. "That's why we won't have any contact with the original source until the day it's released."
It was precisely because of the terrible things that happened in the past that distributors who sincerely wanted to make money would strictly protect the original source material and strictly control the time that the original source material came into contact with them.
"However …"
Pan Dong changed the topic. "I haven't personally seen the original source, but this movie has been shown twice in our screening room."
"You know, everyone likes to leave a backup plan when they do things."
"That's why I can take out the high-definition version of the source material. However, I think we have to think about how to release this source material."
"I finally saw the efficiency of Monster Industries when I wrote that article last time."
Wei Zhixiang nodded and said that he would leave this matter to him. He guaranteed that there would be no tail to catch.
He was not surprised that Pan Dong could take out the high-definition version of the source material. Compared to the leakage of the original source material, it was normal for the high-definition version of the source material to leak.
It was different from the small workshop version that was shot in the cinema with a handheld camera, which was blurry and shaky.
The high-definition version that flowed out of the screening room was several streets ahead of the original in terms of color and clarity.
At the beginning of a new movie's release, it was necessary for it to be screened internally by the distributor in advance.
On one hand, the distributor strictly controlled the contact with the original source material. On the other hand, they secretly installed high-definition cameras in their internal screening rooms to record all the scenes of the movie that they were about to release without trembling at all.
This sounded very schizophrenic, but it was the industry's secret rule of the major distributors.
By making more preparations, he would be giving himself more options. He would be giving himself one more trump card.
With such benefits, who could refuse?
The source material that was clear, without any audience noise, and without trembling at all was the product of this "opportunity and trump card".
If it was watching a 3D blockbuster, then the use of this free source material would be very limited.
After all, 3D was a dual-format movie. After being transcribed by the camera, there would be serious overlapping shadows.
However, if it was an ordinary movie, especially a movie that did not pay much attention to the quality of the picture and focused on the storyline and character dialogue as the selling point, the lethality would be no less than a heavy bomb.
…
Early the next morning.
The people who woke up one after another slowly realized that the news that they usually pushed and the news that they liked to browse on their phones was a little abnormal today.
One news was discussing holographic glasses.
Two news articles were also discussing holographic glasses.
The third, the fourth, it seemed to be …
Of course, they knew about the holographic glasses. The previous defamation article had caused an uproar. Later, it was confirmed that the article was deliberately framed. In addition, as long as a user bought the holographic glasses, they all became die-hard fans as if they were possessed.
So now, as long as someone used a mobile phone or computer to surf the Internet, they knew about the existence of the holographic glasses.
Some people wanted to find videos and photos of last night's national entertainment event, but they found that no news website published them.
They were all text news.
But what was going on with these news articles?
Their style changed drastically as if they had taken the wrong medicine. The headlines that they usually loved, such as "Shocking", "Global Sensation", "Millions of people go crazy", "The Most Ever", "Making Everyone Crazy", and so on, all disappeared.
Even the few news media that had not changed their ways changed and became "scientific newspapers" full of an academic atmosphere.
There was no doubt that these journalists had all participated in the national entertainment event.
Now, they used a calm attitude to inform their users through the article.
The holographic glasses were not a high-tech toy, nor were they a new type of display that could be used to play games or watch movies.
They were mobile phones, televisions, and computers.
They were a part of people's lives. There was no choice to buy or not buy. Only according to the economic situation, the selection of accessories with different prices for the Primordial Spirit Set.
Those young users were fine. The holographic glasses had been listed as must-buy products by them.
It was just that the price of 8,600 yuan was not something that everyone could happily pay.
Most of the middle-aged and old people who were not very sensitive to electronic technology products and even took a long time to transition from a button phone to a smartphone were confused.
Some people even thought about it.
"I …
I'm not nearsighted, why would I buy glasses? "
It was at this time that some of the lucky people who became the five million trial card users had their holographic glasses' 20-hour trial time expired!
