A month after Journey to the West was released, it should have been taken off the shelves and then released online. But it didn't happen. Because of the box office, Journey to the West was delayed. This made those who couldn't bear to spend money to buy tickets frustrated.
At the same time, the crew of Journey to the West posted on Weibo that Journey to the West would be delayed for two months.
Ordinary people would at most curse a few times and have no choice but to buy movie tickets or wait bitterly for the online premiere two months later.
Actually, there were many shootout versions online. It was the kind of shootout that was shot in the cinema with a VCR. But the quality was very bad. Journey to the West was a 3D movie. Normal cameras would produce double images.
So basically, no one watched it. Even if they downloaded it online, once they saw the terrible quality, they would lose interest.
For the crew and celebrities who had movies released in the next two months, this news was like a bolt from the blue.
After a month of release, the popularity of the movie had decreased a lot. But it was still better than most domestic movies. To them, it was a huge hit to the box office.
The director and marketing manager of Dynasty Entertainment had a headache because of this.
"Director Zhang, let's delay the release." A director sighed.
"Mm, that's the only way. Let's delay it for a month. Journey to the West's popularity should decrease next month. Let's minimize the losses. I'll report this to the general manager. "The marketing manager nodded.
The marketing manager called the general manager's secretary first. After getting a reply, he knocked on the door of the general manager's office.
The general manager's name was Wei Tong. He was 40 years old and a major shareholder of Dynasty Entertainment. He was also one of the earliest employees of Dynasty Entertainment. He had slowly climbed up the ladder for more than ten years to reach his current position.
After Manager Zhang told him about it, he nodded. "Let's do it this way. The losses are unavoidable. Try to minimize it."
Then, Wei Tong threw a cigarette to Manager Zhang and lit it himself. "Tsk, Tianfang's development is a little scary."
A year ago, Tianfang and Dynasty were insignificant. But now, the gap between the two companies was shrinking. Whether it was the top artists or the ordinary artists who could be seen as the foundation, the gap between the two companies was shrinking.
This Qin Ze was really strange. He could do whatever he wanted. From the bloody battle at Shanghai Beach to If I Became a Memory to Journey to the West, the box office sales had reached new highs. There were many people in the industry who were envious and jealous.
Because it was released at the same time, Dynasty took the opportunity to criticize Journey to the West. The results were obvious.... But after the second movie, their company's movie almost couldn't survive.
In the market competition, they were no match at all.
In China, the bigger entertainment companies were mostly based in Shanghai and Beijing.
Dynasty and Star Art were the leaders of Shanghai's entertainment industry. However, recently, many of the backup artists who graduated from professional schools wanted to enter Tianfang.
The two golden signboards of Qin Ze and Qin Bao Bao were shining brightly.
Actually, the conflict between Tian Fang and Dynasty had been going on for quite some time. Let's not talk about the box office first. In terms of advertising in Shanghai, Dynasty couldn't compete with Tian Fang. This was because Qin Bao Bao was a hateful woman. She usually only accepted advertisements and endorsements in Shanghai. Occasionally, she would fly to Beijing for business.
As a result, the artists under Royal Entertainment Company went on business trips more frequently.
There were many such business conflicts, and Star Art and Tianfang had a good relationship. Both companies were bullying Royal Entertainment both openly and secretly.
Dynasty Entertainment was Li Wei's original company, but she was poached by Tian Fang. At that time, no one in the small circle of artists in the company thought highly of Li Wei. Without a big platform like Dynasty, what could she do?
Who knew that not only would she do it, but she would also do it well.
Manager Zhang said, "Xu Jiao's new album will be released in a few days. President Wei, I'll take my leave first."
Wei Tong nodded. "Go ahead."
Xu Jiao was one of the pillars of Royal Entertainment Company. She was a big singer.
Because of her sweet looks and pleasant voice, she was very popular. Her fame wasn't any worse than those A-list female stars in the film industry.
Xu Jiao's promotion for her new album was released a long time ago. The digital album would be released first, followed by the CD. In this day and age, unless it was a very popular fresh meat, it was hard to sell CDs. Digital albums were the trend. Even the popular Qin Bao Bao didn't release CDs.
Manager Zhang turned to leave when he received a call. He walked to the office door while answering. "What's the matter?"
A moment later, his body stiffened.
Seeing him come back to his senses with a strange expression, Wei Tong frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Manager Zhang stammered, "Qin Bao Bao is releasing an album."
Wei Tong was stunned. "And?"
Manager Zhang: "The timing is exactly the same as Xu Jiao's."
The office instantly fell silent.
Wei Tong: "…"
Manager Zhang: "…"
At the same time, at Tianfang Entertainment Company.
Qin Ze sat beside the sound recordist and looked at his sister through the soundproof glass. Behind him, a few composers, singers, and a few company executives were all watching the show.
The sound came through the equipment. While everyone was slightly intoxicated, they took the time to glance at the man who was deep in thought with his chin propped up.
CEO Qin was really a strange man. He wrote five new songs that were enough for Qin Bao Bao to release a single album. Including "Love of a Lifetime," there were six songs in total.
Without any warning, he suddenly contacted the marketing department this morning to publicize Qin Bao Bao's single on a large scale.
They had originally planned to prepare for the concert first, but it was later postponed. No one knew the reason except for Qin Bao Bao and Qin Ze. It was just a small revenge against Royal Entertainment Company.
Qin Bao Bao was going to release an album, and it just so happened that the pillar of Royal Entertainment Company was also going to release an album, so they might as well bring it forward and compete with everyone.
Qin Bao Bao came out after singing and humbly accepted Qin Ze's criticism and opinions.
The weather was getting hotter, so his sister only wore a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of dark-colored pencil pants. Her breasts were perky and her waist was slender, making her look spirited.
The long-sleeved shirt was a little too big, but it couldn't hide her perky twin peaks.
For many girls, they could wear shorts and miniskirts in summer to show off their long legs, but there was also a problem. The traces of their underwear would be exposed and attract obscure gazes.
Hence, Qin Bao Bao would wear a loose long-sleeved or short-sleeved shirt when she went out.
It wasn't midsummer yet, so Qin Ze couldn't appreciate his sister's elegance in a pleated miniskirt for the time being.
"At this speed, it should be ready in a few days. Remember to nourish your throat and eat a light diet," Qin Ze said as he handed over a bottle of water.
"En, can the album break the record this time?" Qin Bao Bao drank a mouthful of water and was a little expectant.
She was referring to the record of her previous digital album.
"It's hard to say," Qin Ze said.
"If it can't break the record, it's also the result of your lack of careful preparation. You started too hastily." His sister snorted.
Qin Ze thought, It's really like that. It's not that I started too hastily, it's that I didn't choose the right song.
"There's not much time left for us. If we're slow, we won't be able to catch up with Xu Jiao's album release, and we won't be able to take revenge," Qin Ze said.
Qin Ze had written down the matter of paying the Internet Water Army to discredit "A Journey to the West" in his notebook. There were many similar methods of competition. It wasn't that righteous, but it was more justifiable to compete with the album.
"Later, we still have to poach their company's artists with potential," Qin Ze said.
"En." His sister nodded vigorously. She lowered her head to play with her phone and suddenly smiled. "Look at Xu Jiao's Weibo."
Qin Ze leaned over to take a look.
"She delayed the album's release date." Qin Bao Bao was shaking with laughter.
"Let's also delay it. We won't let them have an easy time," Qin Ze said narrow-mindedly.
