Xie He woke up all of a sudden, grabbed the phone tightly, and said sharply: "What did you say?!"
Lin Ran's voice was also very disturbed. He said in a deep voice, "You can find out by looking online. The source of our film has been leaked, and now it has been uploaded to various forums and websites for free..."
Xie He hung up the phone with a 'snap', even ignoring Ye Jinzhou, pushed him away and came to the computer.
Sure enough, this matter is being discussed everywhere on the Internet, and the download volume of movies on many website forums is already very high. At this time, even if these websites are deleted, it is only a remedy, because there are more endless pirated websites that will continue to be crazy spread.
Xie He also downloaded a copy, and it really is a complete film...
His eyes were in a trance for a while, and he felt a splitting headache, and his hand holding the mouse was shaking...
Ye Jinzhou stood behind Xie He, with indifferent eyes and a smile on his mouth.
Everything you expect, I will destroy bit by bit...
Xie He was silent for a long time, he took a deep breath, his eyes gradually became clear, and calmly ordered Ye Jinzhou: "You go to inform the other vice presidents and department heads of the company now, and an emergency meeting will be held in the conference room in half an hour!"
After finishing speaking, he was going to get up to change clothes, because he was walking too fast, he almost fell down, he felt something flowing down the inner thigh, Xie He's face showed a blush of embarrassment.
Ye Jinzhou hurriedly supported him, the indifference on his face had disappeared, and his eyes were full of worry and guilt: "It's my fault, I was too rude just now... I didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly..."
Xie He grabbed his arm and said in a deep voice: "It's none of your business, I'm going to change clothes, and you quickly notify other people to attend the meeting."
"Okay." Ye Jinzhou responded, and he comforted Xie He softly: "Don't worry too much, there will be a solution."
"Yeah." Xie He answered absently, let go of Ye Jinzhou and went to the bathroom.
He closed the door and sighed.
[Xie He: It's too unfortunate that this call came. I think it's more appropriate to be half an hour later.]
[444:...]
Xie He cleaned it briefly, then changed into clothes and came out. Ye Jinzhou had already finished his phone call, so he went downstairs and drove the car out.
He drove Xie He to the company with a serious expression along the way. When Xie He was about to push the door and get out of the car, Ye Jinzhou suddenly held his neck and kissed him lightly on the forehead. His voice was low and hoarse, "Don't worry, take your time."
Xie He looked into his eyes blankly, he rarely saw Ye Jinzhou's serious and calm appearance, and suddenly felt that he was very gentle and reliable. He paused, with a smile in his eyes: "I'm fine."
What can Ye Jinzhou do to help? I actually felt that he could be relied on... Probably just because I had my lover by my side in difficult times, this illusion occurred.
He doesn't need his help, all he needs is his support and understanding.
Xie He had a gentle look in his eyes. He glanced at Ye Jinzhou before pushing the door and getting off the car. He took the elevator to the conference room. Because he lived relatively close, he came early.
After a while, the other vice presidents also arrived. Lin Ran was the last one to arrive due to the traffic jam where he lived. At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed very dull and depressing. The joy and joy of the morning had all disappeared. Everyone was in a roller coaster mood, and their faces were full of gloom.
Xie He is also in a bad mood, but at this time he can't be emotional, he must deal with the problem calmly and rationally.
"Manager Liu, how is your investigation going?" Xie He asked the company's technical director directly with sharp eyes.
Manager Liu from the technical department wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "We immediately conducted an investigation after getting the news. The video was first uploaded on the xxx forum at 5:27 p.m. Go in, we tried to trace the other party's address, but the other party's hacker level is very high, and we couldn't find out... "
"Continue to investigate, and don't let go of any clues." After Xie He finished speaking, he immediately turned to another person: "Manager Zhang, has the emergency plan been activated? Immediately contact the person in charge of the major websites and ask them to delete the infringing content quickly video."
Manager Zhang of the PR Department nodded again and again: "Someone has been arranged to handle it. Some websites have been deleted, but there are still a few websites that need to be negotiated. The other party said that they are just uploaded by users and have nothing to do with them. Users' posts cannot be deleted at will. .”
"I approved the public relations fee, if you still don't delete it, then prepare a lawyer's letter to them!" Xie He said in a stern voice.
"Yes." Manager Zhang also wiped his forehead.
Xie He closed his eyes. He not only invested almost all of the company's working capital in order to make this movie, but also had a large loan from the bank. If it loses money, it will cause a huge blow to the company. The greater the expectations before, the greater the disappointment now... He is still a little impatient.
Lin Ran looked at Xie He, raised his glasses, and said: "The incident has already happened, and now the most urgent thing is to think about how to remedy it. Piracy spreads very fast, and the longer it takes, the more damage it will do to us. I think we should film it in advance." The release schedule will attract audiences to watch in cinemas and minimize losses.”
This is also Xie He's idea, he nodded, "Yes, I will personally discuss with the directors of several major theaters regarding the early release of the film."
Xie He paused, and then said: "The film's publicity plan needs to be re-formulated, and everyone can talk about it if they have any ideas."
Ye Jinzhou was still sitting in his usual seat, listening to their anxious and intense discussion, and lowered his eyes to hide the cold smile in his eyes. He knew how much Xie He had invested in this movie. Once the movie suffered serious losses, it would directly lead to the company's operating conditions being in trouble.
Although big productions succeed in making a lot of money, they also have a high risk of failure. Rongzhi Media is not the first company to be dragged down by blockbusters, nor will it be the last.
The meeting lasted until twelve o'clock in the evening. Xie He rearranged and deployed a series of plans before leaving the meeting room with a tired look.
After everyone else left, Xie He said to Lin Ran: "I want to talk to you alone."
Ye Jinzhou didn't follow this time, but took the initiative to say to Xie He: "I'll wait for you below first."
Xie He nodded, and returned to the office with Lin Ran.
In front of Lin Ran, Xie He didn't pretend to be calm, he pulled his tie, his eyes were anxious, and his voice was not stable, "What do you think about this matter? Do you think it's an external invasion, or our company... has it Mole?"
Lin Ran actually had a hard time today, knowing that Xie He was spending Valentine's Day with his boyfriend, but he couldn't say anything, not even greetings. He stayed at home alone, and at this moment he learned such bad news...
He sighed, and said: "It's hard to say now, we have to wait for the results of the investigation, but I think there is a great possibility that there is an insider. After all, only a few people have access to the finished film, and we have not uploaded it to the computer."
"My thoughts are the same as yours. It is indeed more likely that there is a traitor. This person must be found!" Xie He's voice was cold, and if he knew who it was, he would definitely not let him go!
Lin Ran said: "I will investigate those people carefully. If there is really a traitor, he must not be allowed to stay in the company."
Xie He let out a breath, looked deeply at Lin Ran, his tone softened, and showed a wry smile, "Thank you... now the only one I can trust is you."
Those who have the authority to disclose the source of the film must be the company's top management or personnel in important key positions. Now Xie He thinks that there is something wrong with these people, so that he feels suspicious when he sees everyone, but Lin Ran will never doubt it.
Lin Ran has been helping him for so many years and is his solid backing. They have witnessed the growth of this company together.
Xie He completely trusted Lin Ran, that's why he called Lin Ran to talk about this matter alone, just because he didn't want to startle the snake.
Lin Ran looked into Xie He's eyes. He always knew that Xie He trusted him, but he was still a little moved when he heard Xie He say it in such a difficult situation.
They are such good friends, such a close relationship, if Xie He knows his thoughts... will this trust change
Lin Ran swallowed the bitterness in his throat, no matter what, now is not the time to think about personal matters. He stepped forward and hugged Xie He, like a friend or brother, patted him on the shoulder lightly and comforted him: "Don't worry, we can definitely find that person."
His eyes moved down to Xie He's neck. There was still a hickey on that fair skin, which obviously had just experienced a sex... Lin Ran pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, and slowly Let go of Xie He.
Just now was about the closest distance I can get to you.
I'm really not reconciled.
[Ding, Lin Ran's favorability degree is 5, and the current favorability degree is 85]
…………………………
After Xie He and Lin Ran separated, they came to the underground parking lot. Ye Jinzhou's long legs were bent casually, and he was leaning lazily on the car door. The dim light fell on his body, casting a long reflection on the ground.
When he saw Xie He coming out, he didn't ask what he and Lin Ran had talked about. He opened the door for Xie He silently, and then drove home.
Xie He returned home, looking at the extinguished candles and the cold food, he was in a daze for a moment.
He was not in the mood to talk to Ye Jinzhou, so he turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out in his bathrobe, he saw that the cold dishes on the table had been taken away, and there was a bowl of steaming noodles on it.
Ye Jinzhou smiled at him: "I know you're in a bad mood, but you haven't eaten a bite of food tonight, and you're so busy, you must be hungry. You should eat before going to bed."
Xie He was indeed hungry, he didn't care about eating at all, but Ye Jinzhou still remembered...
He went to the chair and sat down, and began to eat silently, feeling that the warmth in his stomach was not so uncomfortable.
Ye Jinzhou sat opposite Xie He, silently watching Xie He eating noodles, he saw Xie He put down his chopsticks after eating, and said: "Go to sleep, I will clean up."
"Okay." Xie He said softly, returned to the room and lay down weakly.
Xie He closed his eyes, and heard rustling sounds from outside. After a while, his side sank, and Ye Jinzhou lay down beside him, with his strong arms embracing him from behind. Ye Jinzhou didn't act like usual Asking without restraint, just holding him quietly like this.
Today is both a happy day and a bad day, but no matter how bad it is, when he comes home in the middle of the night, there will be someone he likes by his side, so that he will not be hungry or cold, and will hold him he warms him...
Xie He grabbed Ye Jinzhou's palm with his backhand, and said softly, "Fortunately, you are still here."
Ye Jinzhou did not answer.
His dark eyes were dimmed in the night.
Just a little bit, didn't you doubt me
Have you never doubted me, either in the first moment of shock, or after calming down and thinking about it
I waited the whole night, waiting for you to question me, but I didn't wait... I just waited for a sentence, fortunately, you are here.
We've only known each other for such a short time, why do you trust me like this
What a pity...you will regret meeting me one day.
[Ding, target Ye Jinzhou favorability degree 10, current favorability degree 20]
…………………………
Xie He worked overtime for several days until late before returning home, and there was no smile on his face for a long time.
Although most of the websites have deleted the videos, the number of people who have downloaded them is already very large, and there are already resources on countless pirated websites, which are beyond Xie He's control... What's worse, some people started The movie received rave reviews online and received low scores on several major movie websites, constantly lowering audience expectations.
Xie He was very angry. If he thought it was just a malicious attack at first, it is obvious that someone is targeting their company now! First, he leaked the source of the film, and then hired trolls to discredit the film. The purpose of this series of actions was to make him lose everything!
Xie He called Lin Ran: "How is your investigation going, have you found that person?"
Lin Ran shook his head, his eyes were also blue. These days, he has been busy arranging new promotional plans for the film, dealing with malicious attacks on the Internet, and at the same time quietly looking for the possible traitor, which is exhausting. .
Xie He sighed and said, "I made an appointment with Mr. Zhao from ZD Cinemas tonight to discuss the release of the movie."
ZD is the largest theater chain in China, accounting for more than half of the total share. If more films can be released early, it can still recover a little loss. Lin Ran nodded: "I see."
Xie He didn't say anything more.
The afternoon passed quickly, and Xie He was restless.
When it was almost five o'clock, Xie He came to the hotel in advance to order food, and began to wait for Mr. Zhao to come, but the original appointment was at 6 o'clock, and it was half past six, and Mr. Zhao hadn't come yet. Had a bad feeling.
When it was almost 7 o'clock, Mr. Zhao came late. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was a little fat. Punish yourself with a drink."
Xie He asked others, of course Mr. Zhao couldn't punish himself, so he welcomed him in politely and said, "It's okay, please sit down."
Mr. Zhao was not polite, he didn't even put on a show. Seeing that Xie He said you were not polite, he didn't say self-punishment. He sat down with a grin and said with a smile: "Why is Mr. Bai asking me out today?"
Xie He said: "There is indeed something I want to trouble Mr. Zhao."
Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes: "What about the movie?"
Xie He nodded, "It was originally scheduled to be released in March, but recently there was a bit of an accident. If you want to release it earlier, you have to trouble Mr. Zhao for this matter. I toast you." drink up.
Mr. Zhao didn't stop Xie He. He waited for Xie He to finish his drink before he said: "Suddenly three months in advance, this matter is a bit difficult for me. Mr. Bai, you should also know that there are many movies that have been released recently, and there are also some Several major productions have been scheduled long ago, and now it is difficult for us to temporarily add new movies."
Regarding the recent major event of Rongzhi Media, how could Mr. Zhao not know, he already had his own plan in mind, and knew that Xie He would find him sooner or later. In the beginning, it was nothing to make room for it. After all, he was still very optimistic about this movie. He wanted to save face. When the box office is high, he will line up more, and if the box office is low, he will line up less. He will not suffer, but now...
He thought of the representative of the SL Group whom he had met just now, and said sorry.
Everyone is a businessman. In business, you only need to make things difficult for you to get the benefits from SL Group. Don't blame me for not being sympathetic.
Xie He's heart skipped a beat. He is also a person who has been in the mall for a long time. He can't hear the attitude in Mr. Zhao's words. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle today.
Although he was angry in his heart, Xie He still showed a smile on his face: "I also know that this matter has embarrassed Mr. Zhao... But I still hope that Mr. Zhao can help me. I will remember this kind of favor, and I have another big thank you .”
Mr. Zhao looked at Xie He with a smile, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's not completely impossible, but after all, you are here temporarily, and I can only give 20% of the sessions at most, and there are still One condition... ”
20% is too little for a blockbuster! But Xie He didn't rush to refute, he asked in a deep voice: "What conditions?"
Mr. Zhao said: "I want to increase the theater chain's original sharing ratio by 10%. If Mr. Bai thinks it's okay, I will definitely handle this matter for you. If he thinks it's not, then we can cooperate next time."
Xie He's complexion changed.
The original profit ratio of theater chains is high, but now they only give 20% of the film schedule and increase the share, which is obviously taking advantage of the fire! The smile on Xie He's face couldn't hold back anymore. He tried his best not to show anger. He was silent for a long time and said, "I have to think about it again."
Mr. Zhao was not angry, and said with a smile: "Then you have to think about it quickly. To be honest, I also watched that movie, and it was not bad. It's really regrettable that something like this happened."
Xie He showed an ugly smile, watched Mr. Zhao leave, and tightly clenched the hand hanging by his side.
…………………………
The situation on the Internet is getting worse day by day. Xie He has met several directors of theaters in a row, but the results of the talks are not pleasant. People who were originally easy to talk, suddenly changed their faces one by one, pretending to be robbed despicable countenance.
All of this seemed to be covered by an invisible net, no matter what he did, the other party seemed to be waiting in front of him, always waiting to hit him head-on.
Who, who is going to deal with him like this
In just a few days, Xie He was haggard.
[444: Ye Jinzhou is a bad guy qaq]
[Xie He:...]
[444: What should the host do now that the host is swollen?]
[Xie He: Let it take its course, if you don't give him the company directly, he will have no sense of accomplishment. It's such an easy thing, I almost couldn't help but want to expose him. smile jpg]
[444:...]
[Xie He: And from this incident, we should understand a truth.]
[444: Can't you just trust others... qaq]
[Xie He: No.]
[444: What is that?]
[Xie He: Fighting piracy is everyone's responsibility. No piracy, no harm :)]
[444:...]
That night, Xie He went out to accompany the guests for dinner again, and was so drunk that he vomited out with a 'wow' before he got home.
Ye Jinzhou helped Xie He back home, gently put him on the bed, and helped him take off his shoes. He stared into Xie He's eyes and whispered: "Bai Mu..."
Xie He's eyes were hazy and his face was blushing.
Ye Jinzhou looked at Xie He's confused look, smelled the alcohol smell all over his body, reached out and touched his cheek, he seemed to have lost a little weight... I don't know why, seeing this gentle, confident and mature man being tossed like this, I feel a little distressed.
Xie He was obviously not sober, and Ye Jinzhou did not continue to maintain that hypocritical appearance. He stared at the man under him with that indifferent gaze, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
How could he feel sorry for this person.
[Ding, the target favorability is 5, the current favorability is 25]
…………………………
Xie He woke up with a splitting headache the next morning because of a hangover, but he managed to get up and go to the company, but his face was very bad.
Lin Ran came to Xie He's office early in the morning to look for him. Seeing him like this, he felt distressed, and said with concern: "If you are sick, don't come here. I will call you if something happens."
Xie He showed him a slightly pale smile, "I'm fine."
Lin Ran knew Xie He's stubbornness, and knew that he was worried, so he didn't try to persuade him any more. He turned his head to look at Ye Jinzhou, and said to him: "I have a document here, please help me make twenty copies. thanks."
A light flashed across Ye Jinzhou's eyes, and he went out with the materials without saying a word.
Xie He immediately realized that Lin Ran had something to say to him, and he didn't want Ye Jinzhou to know, so he used this method to push him away, his eyes narrowed, and said: "What do you want to tell me?"
Lin Ran looked into Xie He's eyes and said, "I suspect that traitor is Ye Jinzhou."
