The "MIT-21-TEAM" crew was in the midst of a bustling shoot in Las Vegas. Just under a week had passed since Flame Films completed the acquisition of Artisan Company for $160 million, and the industry was still speculating about what Flame really intended to do, when the gossip rag "Daily Entertainment" suddenly published a piece of on-set gossip: "Magical Yang's New Business Theory, the 28 Laws are a Thing of the Past!?"
According to The Insider, the information was obtained from Joshua Alba who mentioned that during a recent on-set conversation about the acquisition, Magical Yang spoke at length about a new business concept known as "Long Tail Theory", asserting that 80% of niche products and 20% of mainstream are equally important. Flame Films' development strategy is also executed based on this theory, even declaring that it's no longer "what we can offer customers", but rather "what customers demand from us". It heralded the end of the era ruled by the 28 Laws.
