Chapter 464

With the decline of word-of-mouth and the high expectations created at the beginning, "The Marginal Man" ended up far below the audience's expectations. It fell to 1 million.

On the other hand, "Infernal Affairs" broke out completely.

Although "Marginal Man" will not lose money, it is obviously much lower than investment expectations.

In early spring, the sun is shining and the weather is pleasant. It is a good weather for traveling. The theaters across the country are also full, especially the theaters of "Infernal Affairs". However, even during the day, the attendance rate exceeds 60%, and the average attendance rate is as high as 6% for the shows after 90:[-] pm.

The box office even exceeded 4 billion on the 10th day of its release, and the subsequent box office decline was also very reasonable. According to this situation, it is a foregone conclusion that "The Marginal Man" surpassed the previous "My Sassy Girl" at the box office.

On the other hand, in terms of the film schedule of "Marginal Man", except for Tianxing, other cooperative theaters have reduced the film schedule of "Marginal Man".

At this time, it broke out again that Tianxing Cinemas joined the theaters and publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with Tianxing's hegemony.

For listed companies like Tianxing Group, the profit of a movie is often not what they value most. What they value most is the overall impact on the stock price and market value.

The current box office of "Marginal Man" is 7.5 million. This box office is definitely not low for ordinary movies, but the investment for "Marginal Man" is as high as more than 4 million, and the cost of publicity and distribution can even reach 5 million. film, that would be absolutely disastrous.

The stock price of Tianxing Group dropped accordingly, and when "The Marginal Man" was considering the countermeasures, it happened that the joining theaters publicly protested against Tianxing Cinemas.

The stock price naturally fell in response, especially in the past few years, although Tianxing's development has been considered good, but there are few bright spots, especially in movies, Tianxing, who was once a frequent visitor to the box office champion of domestic movies , there have been a lot of big productions in the past few years, but they just haven't been able to achieve another success.

The grievances between Tianxing and Lin Xiao have passed for many years, but I didn't expect that until now, this grievance is still unsolved.

Although the words of Manager You of Donglin Cinema were his own speculation, many people believed that it was the truth.

The grievance between Lin Xiao and the senior management of Tianxing, which senior management?Need I say more?

It's nothing to do with yourself. For most people who eat melons, they just laugh a few times and make fun of them when they see this kind of news. Anyway, it has nothing to do with them.

But for the shareholders of Tianxing Group and the shareholders of Tianxing Group, the impact is not insignificant.

Especially for the shareholders of Tianxing Group, for them, there is no grudge, as long as it does not affect their interests, and they don't bother to care about it. After all, this kind of thing is too common in this circle.

In the Huaguo film and television industry with strong theater chains, the news that the theater chains banned a certain film and television company is not really big news at all.

But this time, it was different.

What movie is "Infernal Affairs"?It is the hottest movie nowadays, and many netizens call it a classic of Chinese-language movies, a once-in-a-century classic of police and gangster movies, and so on.

In terms of box office performance, "Infernal Affairs" is even more outstanding. What's rare is that it has a very good reputation from film critics and fans.

Don't you see that the total number of topics about "Infernal Affairs" on the Internet has exceeded 10 billion. On the search index and the search rankings, keywords such as Chen Yongren, Liu Jianming, and Infernal Affairs are even more powerful on the list.

It can be said that "Infernal Affairs" is a classic in the eyes of movie fans, but in the eyes of businessmen, it is money!
But at this time, because of the grievances many years ago, the Tianxing Group actually put the money on the ground and did not collect it.

Tianxing Film and Television has fallen into a trap, and Tianxing Cinemas also has a big problem. This shit, the stock price plummeted like rain, how can shareholders sit still?

It's not that Chen Zhongtian is really that small-bellied, but the more Lin Xiao is in trouble, the more it shows that there is something wrong with his vision.

Therefore, although Chen Zhongtian did not personally handle the actions of the people below, he obviously adopted a tacit attitude.

It's just that Chen Zhongtian didn't expect that the result would be like this.

Inside the meeting room of the board of directors of Tianxing Group.

"Mr. Chen, the rumors from the outside world are not true, are they? Just because of that Lin Xiao back then, the High Heaven Pavilion was banned? The total box office of "The Iron Fist of Shame", "My Sassy Girl" and "Infernal Affairs" was banned. A movie worth 50 billion yuan? This is why we blocked them, this is obviously because we were blocked." Chang Zhaoyun represents Fengyun Capital. Although Fengyun Capital does not have many shares in Tianxing Group, Chang Zhaoyun usually In fact, he seldom speaks. When he speaks, he represents not only Fengyun Capital, but also the opinions of many shareholders.

Sure enough, after Chang Zhaoyun took the lead in launching the attack, several shareholder representatives on the board of directors who usually occupied a position basically expressed that this matter must be resolved.

Chen Zhongtian was also very depressed, what the hell, labor and capital, a figure at the level of a bigwig in the entertainment industry, has always been a person who is the only one in the world, but it turned out that Nima, because of Lin Xiao, ended up making the whole group unstable.

It's just that this time, to be honest, Chen Zhongtian also felt so uncomfortable. He really didn't expect that the little singer back then would behave like this.

It is false to say that you have no regrets, but there is no regret medicine in the world.

"President Feng, you are the person in charge of Tianxing Cinemas, tell me, has the matter really reached such a serious point?" Chen Zhongtian looked at Feng Tiangang and said.

Originally, Feng Tiangang was not eligible to attend the board meeting, but because this time mainly involved Tianxing Cinemas, Feng Tiangang attended the meeting.

"Yes, Chairman, as far as I know, franchised theaters such as Donglin Cinema have even begun to contact other theater chains, and the key point is that our contracts with several chain theaters such as Donglin Cinema will come to an end by the end of the year. This is probably one of the reasons why they dared to express their dissatisfaction with the media publicly, the matter has reached the point where it must be resolved." Feng Tiangang glanced at Chen Zhongtian, hesitated and said.

"President Feng, why don't you release "Infernal Affairs"? Is it an administrative order issued by the board of directors? Or did I tell you to block Ling Xiao Pavilion?" Suddenly Chen Zhongtian looked at Feng Tiangang and said.

"This..." Feng Tiangang scolded his mother endlessly in his heart, damn, he still has to set up a memorial archway when he is a bitch, but he is really irrefutable about this kind of thing, of course Feng Tiangang really has to bear the blame.

"Lin Xiao did have some unpleasantness with our company at the beginning, but it's been so long, do you think I'm the kind of person with a small belly?" Chen Zhongtian looked at Feng Tiangang sharply and said.

Chen Zhongtian was indeed a little annoyed. In fact, although he was unhappy with Lin Xiao, he really didn't say anything about banning Lingxiao Pavilion, but he just turned a blind eye all the time.

Of course, the current situation is indeed inseparably related to him, but in Chen Zhongtian's view, Feng Tiangang, the CEO of Tianxing Cinemas, still lacks courage. Otherwise, if he decides on such a matter, the board of directors will It is impossible to really blame him for this matter.
