"Alright, Principal Ding, I’m on it!"
Zhu Youzhao nodded, stood up imdiately, and went to gather the teachers and students according to Principal Ding’s instructions.
Director Su Yangfan had also planned to go with Zhu Youzhao, but Ding Yue stopped him, "Director Su, wait a mont."
Upon hearing this, Su Yangfan, who had just stood up, sat back down and asked with a smile, "Principal Ding, is there anything else you’d like to instruct?"
"We have the ans and capability to solve the special effects issue, but regarding the incident that happened this ti, Director Su, do you have any insights? Why would Sumr Light Shadow Special Effects Studio suddenly raise their price?"
Ding Yue looked at Su Yangfan with a puzzled expression.
As soone inside the circle, Director Su Yangfan might understand more about this matter.
"This..."
Su Yangfan wanted to speak but hesitated for a mont.
"Director Su, what’s the matter? Just speak your mind, we are all on the sa side here. Aren’t you angry about whoever did sothing so detrintal to the ’Wandering Earth’ project?"
Seeing Su Yangfan’s hesitation, Ding Yue asked.
"This incident is indeed infuriating and speechless, but behind Sumr Light Shadow Special Effects Studio is... is Q Entertainnt dia."
Su Yangfan frowned as he spoke.
"You an the Penguin?"
When Ding Yue heard Q Entertainnt dia, he imdiately thought of the Penguin, or more precisely, the Blackheart Penguin.
"Right, many people don’t actually know who’s behind Sumr Light Shadow Special Effects Studio. In fact, it is Q Entertainnt dia. On a larger scale, it’s the Penguin Group that dominates a large portion of dostic entertainnt in movies, novels, gas, and so on. They are very powerful, we probably can’t afford to provoke them."
Director Su Yangfan said helplessly.
In Xia Country, the Penguin Group is involved in various online entertainnt fields such as movies, novels, gas, and live broadcasting. Their influence is quite monopolistic.
In the film industry, ordinary people would generally not dare to oppose Q Entertainnt dia.
"Haha, it’s just a blackhearted little penguin, after all!"
Although Ding Yue knew that the head of the Penguin Group often topped the country’s richest lists, the profits from the various internet entertainnt sectors that the Penguin Group tapped into were all gained through incessant squeezing of original content creators and consurs.
"Principal Ding, you... you shouldn’t be talking recklessly. I suspect that our ’Wandering Earth’ project at Mist City Arts and Science University might have been targeted by Q Entertainnt dia once they got wind of it."
Su Yangfan sighed and continued to speak helplessly.
"That doesn’t make sense. Up to now, we haven’t had any conflicts or competition with Q Entertainnt dia or the Penguin Group. Why would they target us?"
Ding Yue suddenly couldn’t understand.
His Feiyue Group’s current industries did not seem to be in major competition with the Penguin Group or Q Entertainnt dia, so there was no reason for Q Entertainnt dia to sabotage their ’Wandering Earth’ project.
"Ah, well, Principal Ding, you might be too busy normally to know about this, I also heard it from a friend I had before."
Su Yangfan looked hesitant to speak.
Ding Yue knew that Director Su Yangfan must know more, so he looked at him solemnly and said, "Director Su, speak!"
"Principal Ding, here’s the thing, didn’t our Feiyue dia make a killing with ’Super Combat Team’ last ti? This ti, Q Entertainnt dia sohow got wind that we, Feiyue dia and Mist City Arts and Science University, were working on a big-budget sci-fi film. The most critical point is that Q Entertainnt dia was also making a sci-fi blockbuster this year, so they just..."
Su Yangfan trailed off and looked at Principal Ding without finishing the sentence.
Principal Ding instantly understood what he ant.
"So, you’re saying that Q Entertainnt dia is deliberately giving us trouble because they are worried our ’Wandering Earth’ will clash with their sci-fi blockbuster?"
From what Director Su Yangfan had just said, Ding Yue could surmise the situation.
"That’s about the size of it; most of it is hearsay, without any concrete news to confirm," Su Yangfan nodded and said.
"Do we even need to confirm it?"
Ding Yue shrugged and said with a cold smile, "Once you ntioned that Sumr Light Shadow Special Effects Studio is backed by Q Entertainnt dia, I knew it. Isn’t this classic Penguin behavior?"
"That’s true."
Su Yangfan had no fond feelings for Q Entertainnt dia either.
Because Q Entertainnt dia follows the traffic-driven approach, valuing viewership above all, Xia Country’s movie and entertainnt market is almost being led astray by Q Entertainnt dia.
But Su Yangfan believed that when it ca to film and television entertainnt, everything was about quality!
Actors with acting skills, gripping plots, and top-notch production—that’s what made a TV show or movie stand out, not just hiring a bunch of popular stars and having clean and neat costus and settings while relying on paid promotions to harvest fans and dominate the market.
"Director Su, just wait and see, sooner or later, the little Penguin will reap what it sows," Ding Yue said before standing up, ready to check on how Director Zhu Youzhao’s matters were progressing.
...
anwhile.
In Haicheng, the office building of Q Entertainnt dia.
Q Entertainnt dia, known as the strongest entertainnt dia company in the nation, the battleship of the film and television industry.
However, in the past two years, Q Entertainnt dia had begun to feel so pressure.
Whether it was in TV dramas or in the movie sector, the impact of Q Entertainnt dia’s productions was gradually being affected by so "miscellaneous troops."
Take, for instance, a TV drama produced by Q Entertainnt dia two years ago, which ran into Su Yangfan’s "Transdinsional Contact" and lost a significant share of the viewership ratings.
Last year.
Q Entertainnt dia invested in a sci-fi movie directed by Ma Wenhai, which was "Space Fortress," and it was a box-office disaster!
These two failures made Q Entertainnt dia start to take notice of one person.
This person was Su Yangfan.
Setting aside the TV series he had killed two years ago with "Transdinsional Contact."
Last year’s sci-fi movie "Space Fortress" by Ma Wenhai had, in fact, lost to Mist City Arts and Science University’s animated movie "Super Combat Team."
Now, to make things worse.
The two had joined forces.
Su Yangfan had gone to Mist City Arts and Science University and reportedly beca the producer of a big project, originally planning to collaborate with Sumr Light Shadow Special Effects Studio.
But, I’m sorry to say.
The backing of Sumr Light Shadow Special Effects Studio had already been taken over by Q Entertainnt dia.
"Mr. Zhang, last ti you ntioned Su Yangfan from Mist City Arts and Science University, now that he can’t find a suitable special effects partner, is he going to be in trouble?"
In the chairman’s office.
Q Entertainnt dia’s chairman Chen Xueming was chatting with the general manager, Zhang Wu.
"If he doesn’t die, he’ll at least be skinned alive; it’s very difficult for him to find a special effects team dostically now," Zhang Wu said with a confident smile.
"That move is quite vicious," Chen Xueming said, pointing at Zhang Wu, teasingly.
"Who asked for Su Yangfan to be such an eyesore?" Zhang Wu shrugged and replied, "Not only did he sink one of our TV shows two years ago, but now he’s joined Mist City Arts and Science University that affected our investnt in ’Space Fortress’ last year. Who else should we target if not him?"
"Just a minor director, is it worth it for soone like you, Mr. Zhang, to go to such lengths?"
Chen Xueming always felt that Zhang Wu was making a mountain out of a molehill.
It was just a minor director, and yet they were mobilizing so many resources to target him.
"My dear Mr. Chen, can’t you see this is killing two birds with one stone? Do you really think I’m only targeting that lousy director Su Yangfan?" Zhang Wu said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Chen Xueming imdiately furrowed his brows and muttered, "You an to say, no wonder, you’re incidentally targeting Mist City Arts and Science University, right?"
"Mr. Chen, if it wasn’t for Mist City Arts and Science University’s ’Super Combat Team’ last year, our investnt in ’Space Fortress’ would have made an extra ten to twenty billion yuan!"
As soon as Zhang Wu ntioned this, he felt an itch of resentnt.
As one of the investors in "Space Fortress," Q Entertainnt dia could be said to have suffered losses on this film last year.
And one of the main reasons for the loss was that Mist City Arts and Science University’s "Super Combat Team" was too strong, directly squeezing the box office space of "Space Fortress"...
