Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 1633 My Fortune
Everyone finally understood why Nie Yunsheng said this move could only be used at the very end.
Because only when Tenda Group was advancing triumphantly in all fields, gradually occupying a monopolistic position, and defeating the Anti-Tenda Alliance utterly, would the fear in ordinary people's minds about Tenda growing into a new monopoly group rise to a threshold!
Before this, the good reputation that Tenda Group had established for a long time was enough to support ordinary consumers in standing on their side.
Perhaps this is called turning death into life!
Once Nie Yunsheng's plan succeeded, the relationship between the Anti-Tenda Alliance and Tenda Group could be said to have changed from offensive to defensive.
If most consumers recognized the concept spread by Nie Yunsheng, believing that Tenda Group's market monopoly had already constituted a danger, then when Tenda Group and the Anti-Tenda Alliance engaged in commercial competition, these consumers would not help either side.
They would stand by and watch the excitement, because both sides were evil capitalists seeking a monopoly, so what difference did it make who they stood with?
Even in the most optimistic scenario, Tenda Group would suffer a backlash due to its previous good reputation, and people's previous love for it would transform into even greater hatred.
At that time, once Tenda's invincibility was broken, it would be time for the Anti-Tenda Alliance to counterattack.
Bosses like Nie Yunsheng and Zheng Hao had risen from humble beginnings, climbing up step by step from the very bottom, and were not afraid of conventional commercial competition. What they feared was a company like Tenda Group that did not play by the rules and did not have martial ethics.
If they could pull both sides to the same starting line, they wouldn't dare to say they could definitely win against the business genius President Pei, but at least the chances of success would greatly increase. The living space obtained by their own enterprises would also improve significantly.
They wouldn't be constantly suppressed and unable to breathe as they were now.
One boss said, "President Nie, what a good plan! If this plan can really succeed, we still have a chance to turn the tables, and it's not impossible to completely defeat Tenda!"
"But now there is a small problem. The recent internet cleanup campaign has cracked down on the national water army (internet commentators) activities. I'm afraid we won't be able to find as many water armies as easily as before."
"How do we solve this?"
Nie Yunsheng said, "It doesn't matter, there must be brave men under a heavy reward. As long as the demand is still there, the water army cannot be permanently banned."
"Of course, this is a tough battle, and we can't rely on the water army. After all, the power of the water army is limited. They can only wave flags and shout cheers behind us, but they can't really enter the front line."
"The real decisive battle still depends on ourselves!"
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Xiaoping, the vice president of Fanqi Media, next to him: "President Lu, you can talk to everyone about the movie."
The others all looked at Lu Xiaoping, their faces filled with surprise.
Previously, Nie Yunsheng had overruled all objections and insisted on pulling Fanqi Media and some other media companies into the Anti-Tenda Alliance camp, even paying a heavy price for it, which made some veteran companies somewhat dissatisfied.
But now it seemed that Nie Yunsheng was actually planning ahead and had already thought of today's situation.
Fanqi Media is a media and entertainment group with considerable influence in China. Its main business includes film investment, production, distribution, TV series investment, distribution, artist management, and so on.
In addition, Fanqi Media also undertakes the distribution of some overseas blockbusters in the mainland and has a good say.
Previously, the overseas blockbuster *Raging Battleship* was distributed by them, but it happened to collide with Tenda Group's *Mission and Choice*.
This painful failure has always been a pain in Lu Xiaoping's heart!
With the rapid development of Tenda Group and Fei Huang Studio, they have launched many excellent movies and web dramas, which has made the tastes of domestic audiences increasingly critical, and they are becoming less and less accepting of some overseas blockbusters and traffic-driven works.
This undoubtedly cut off an important source of income for Fanqi Media!
For this reason alone, Fanqi Media had sufficient reason to fight Tenda Group to the end.
Lu Xiaoping looked around at everyone and said, "In fact, President Nie had already foreseen the current situation. Although it seemed like the worst situation at the time, the facts prove that it's always right to plan ahead!"
"In fact, most of the support from the Anti-Tenda Alliance to Fanqi Media has been used to invest in a movie, and this movie has been filmed and is scheduled to be released at the end of this month."
"And this movie will become the horn of our counterattack against Tenda Group!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but cheer up.
Obviously, to defeat Tenda in the battle of public opinion, there must be a medium.
Relying solely on the water army to create momentum on the Internet will not have a good effect. Because there is neither a support point nor an intention that can resonate with ordinary people, relying solely on the water army will not achieve great things.
The reason why Tenda is able to have an advantage in the battle of public opinion is because Tenda has various cultural products, whether it is a game or a movie, it can accurately hit the hearts of ordinary audiences or players, thereby stimulating widespread resonance.
So after various failures in the battle of public opinion, everyone finally realized that if they wanted to defeat Tenda, they must strike at the field that Tenda is best at.
And the most suitable core areas are nothing more than two: games and movies!
Let's not talk about games. At present, Tenda's game development level is unique in China, and even two levels ahead of everyone else. Looking for trouble with Tenda in this area is definitely asking for trouble.
So the movie field is the only feasible breakthrough.
Fanqi Media has been deeply involved in this field for many years, has a wide network of contacts, and has sufficient resources. After receiving the resource assistance from the Anti-Tenda Alliance, if it can really launch a soul-stirring work that hits the nail on the head, it will definitely bring great advantages to the battle of public opinion!
Although Fanqi Media was previously beaten by Fei Huang Studio, the situation is somewhat different at this moment.
Previously, Fei Huang Studio attacked Fanqi Media with a calculated move against an unprepared one, but now the offensive and defensive situation of both sides has changed.
The bosses immediately became active and discussed.
"President Lu, President Nie, what is this movie about? Can you reveal it?"
"Yes, what kind of theme is it?"
"In my opinion, it's mostly a realistic theme, telling the story of an entrepreneur from starting from scratch to becoming the helmsman of a monopoly group. In this process, he slowly shows his inconsistent words and deeds and changes, so that everyone realizes that once he obtains a monopoly, all entrepreneurs will eventually become the same!"
"I think the realistic theme is too straightforward. If you want to insinuate President Pei, you will probably have to use an actor with a similar image to President Pei in the end. This intention is too obvious and easily backfires. Changing the background may be better."
"I think the ancient background is also good. There were many wealthy merchants in ancient times. Showing the attitude of these merchants being unkind after they became big and comparing it with their early development path can also play a good role in satirizing the present by alluding to the past, and in this way, it is not easy to cause widespread resistance!"
When it comes to movies, many bosses get excited.
After all, most people have seen movies and can generally come up with some ideas.
Although they already knew that the movie was finished, it did not prevent their curiosity and enthusiasm for discussion.
Lu Xiaoping and Nie Yunsheng looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Lu Xiaoping explained, "Everyone's ideas are good, but they don't meet our requirements!"
"Everyone is right about one thing, this movie is overkill, so we must not shoot a realistic theme, let alone obviously insinuate Tenda Group, which will excessively expose our intentions!"
"Once our intentions are exposed and create a sense of sympathy for Tenda Group in public opinion, our goal will be completely unachievable and will backfire on us."
"Using the past to satirize the present is indeed a way, but there are many restrictions under the ancient theme background. What if the hints are not in place and the audience does not understand that we are actually insinuating Tenda Group? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
"In addition, there is the most important point that everyone has overlooked. That is, the excellence of this story, the script itself."
"If we are only thinking about insinuating Tenda Group, but what we come up with is a very bad script, then even if we invest more money and let the most outstanding director guide it, the audience will still not buy the movie that is finally made. How can a bad movie have an impact on Tenda in terms of public opinion?"
These bosses looked at each other, and then nodded and said, "President Lu is still thinking comprehensively."
"Then may I ask President Lu, how exactly is this movie going to be made?"
Lu Xiaoping smiled slightly: "President Nie and I have repeatedly considered this issue before, and the method we finally came up with is to buy the copyright of a good science fiction author's novel."
Everyone couldn't help but nod, and they all felt it made sense.
To make a good movie, you must first have a good script. And the best way to get a good script is to buy a good story that has already been proven successful and then adapt it.
Although adaptation may still fail, it is much better than writing a story from scratch.
Domestic science fiction novels have developed well, and a number of very good works have emerged, and in recent years, there have been slight signs of recovery in science fiction movies.
If, as Lu Xiaoping said, buying an excellent science fiction novel and appropriately guiding it when shooting to insinuate Tenda Group may achieve unexpected results.
Someone asked: "Then may I ask which science fiction novel it is specifically?"
Lu Xiaoping said: "*My Property*."
The bosses looked at each other, and some of them said that they had heard of it, but they didn't know what kind of story it was specifically.
Lu Xiaoping smiled slightly and introduced. "This is a relatively old science fiction novel. Although it is a short story, it has a good reputation and was created by a famous Chinese science fiction writer."
"This novel tells a bizarre future society with two clear and dark clues."
"Two children from poor families, one of whom is constantly developing in business, and the company is getting bigger and bigger, constantly swallowing other companies. Eventually, more than 90% of the world's industries and wealth are concentrated in the hands of one person. The other child he knew when he was a child grew up to become an ordinary worker and was mediocre."
"Because the wealth of the world includes the mineral resources, water, and air on the entire planet, the poor can only live in small compartments and survive through the life cycle system. The protagonist can enjoy all the wealth in the world, and he is also called the boss."
"The poor child had no job when he grew up, and his father and mother left the world one after another for some reason. One day, the child saw the boss walking outside and vaguely recognized that this seemed to be his playmate when he was a child, so he ventured out at the risk of being shot dead by the law enforcement unit on the spot."
"In the end, out of friendship and compassion for the child, the boss took out some of his wealth, built a starship, and sent all the poor to another planet, and the story ends here."
Someone asked quite puzzled. "But can this story really be mapped to Tenda Group and President Pei?"
Lu Xiaoping smiled slightly: "Even if all the groups in the Anti-Tenda Alliance monopolize, they only occupy a dominant market position in a certain industry."
"But Tenda Group is different. It is a new type of company that spans multiple groups and has achieved success in countless fields!"
"Only Tenda Group meets such a definition and concept!"
"Not only that, the boss in the story started from scratch as a small businessman, relying entirely on his honest and legal labor, as well as his talent and intelligence in business. It is precisely because every step he takes is completely legal that makes this story even more ironic."
"Think about it carefully, isn't this character more in line with President Pei?"
