Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

He knew very well that Xiao Yunhai's TV dramas were aired on Huaxia TV, and all of them were advertising fees.

The reason why he sold the first-round broadcast rights of "Transformers" to himself was because cartoons were not well-known at that time.

Now "Transformers" is popular all over the United States, and even TV stations in European countries are broadcasting it. If I don't give up the advertising costs, I will definitely get nothing.

After Thrall got the right to broadcast the second round, he broadcast it immediately, and the ratings were still extremely hot. Marvel Comics naturally made a lot of money.

In addition to cartoons, comics have also sold 6000 million copies in Europe and the United States, making a profit of 2000 million US dollars.

Toys are even more powerful, with more than 1000 million sets sold and a profit of 14 billion US dollars, which is still in short supply.

Zhao Wanqing heard Xiao Yunhai say about the big sales of "Transformers" in Europe and the United States, and said: "We made a bet at the beginning, saying that if the sales volume exceeds 5000 million copies, then I will unconditionally agree to your request. Now that you have won, Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Xiao Yunhai had a perverted look on his face, and said with a smile: "We'll talk about it after the baby is born."

Zhao Wanqing refused without thinking, and said, "You have to say it now, otherwise, the bet will be cancelled."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Honey, you did it on purpose, we can't be so clumsy, okay?"

Zhao Wanqing said proudly: "I don't care. Anyway, I have already asked you to make a request. If you don't mention it, you will automatically give up."

Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes, leaned closer to her ear, and said, "You asked me to say this. My request is very simple. After the second half of the year, every night you have to..."

Zhao Wanqing's face was so ashamed that it almost turned into a big apple. She grabbed Xiao Yunhai's ear and cursed: "You stinky rascal, let's see how I deal with you."

Xiao Yunhai repeatedly said that he didn't dare.

When Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing were playing around, there was also an undercurrent surging in Hollywood.

In a meeting room of the Four Seasons Hotel, dozens of CEOs of small and medium-sized Hollywood film companies gathered together to discuss matters.

A middle-aged Caucasian man pointed to the newspaper on the table and said, "Everyone should have seen it. In order to change the box office quota system, the major film companies in China have already held a press conference, and they have torn faces with all the theaters in China. There is no room for change. For us, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The main reason for the failure of the first three times is that some of us were ungrateful and disregarded the overall situation, which caused us to suffer from the oppression of the theater for five years , The loss of money is countless. Today, we gather again, and there is still only one purpose, and that is to strive to achieve an appropriate profit ratio like Huaxia. Tell me, what should we do?"

The person who spoke was named Rodriguez, and he was the CEO of the most famous Flame Film Company other than the Eighth, no, Ninth, Hollywood, and his prestige was very high.

For the first three times, he was one of the planners, but unfortunately all ended in failure.

This morning, when he saw dozens of Chinese film companies on the other side of the ocean resisting the unfair profit quota of the theaters at the same time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The bosses of small and medium enterprises were summoned to prepare for the fourth attack and fight with their Huaxia counterparts.

An old man with white hair and glasses took a deep puff on his cigar and said, "Rodriguez, are you sure Huaxia has already done something? You must know that entertainment news is sometimes unreliable."

Rodriguez shook his phone and said: "Mr. Harvey, this afternoon, I contacted Mr. Shen Le of Yuele Film and Television Company through some connections, and talked with him for half an hour. He told me that Huaxia's The probability of success is more than 90.00%."

"Really? Are Huaxia colleagues so powerful?"

"You're not kidding us, are you?"

.....

Harvey waved his hand, interrupted everyone's discussion, and continued to ask: "What ratio do they want?"

Rodriguez said: "55:45 in the first week, 40:60 in the second week, 30:70 in the third week, and 20:80 in the end. I think this ratio not only guarantees our interests, but also takes into account the interests of the theaters. Benefits, very suitable."

Harvey said with a smile: "I also think it's quite suitable. If this is true, it will definitely benefit our film production company and not cause any harm. At least I dare to invest in blockbuster films and give it a try."

Others also joined in one after another.

A boss suddenly said: "Mr. Rodriguez, can you get in touch with Mr. Shen Le from Huaxia again? We have a lot to ask."

Rodriguez smiled, "Of course."

Chapter 949 Fierce box office

Picking up the phone, Rodriguez called Shen Le, and after only three rings, the other party picked it up.

Rodriguez said: "Mr. Shen, hello, I want to disturb you again."

Shen Le seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "Mr. Rodriguez, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Rodriguez said with a smile: "Beside me are dozens of owners of small and medium-sized Hollywood film companies. They are very interested in the battle between you and the theaters. I wonder if I can introduce the situation to everyone?"

Shen Le said in fluent English: "It turned out to be colleagues in Hollywood, so let me briefly explain the current situation. We have more than 60 companies in China, no, now there are more than 100 large and small film and television companies, Ask for an increase in our box office profit share. If the theaters do not agree, we will not provide them with a single movie. Four hours ago, the heads of the eight major theaters in China held a press conference and rejected our proposal .Now, the war between film companies and theaters has completely started. If you respond at the same time, our chances of success will undoubtedly increase a lot."

Harvey asked: "Mr. Shen, I heard from Rodriguez that your success rate is over 90.00%, right?"

Shen Le laughed and said: "It should be said to be 8000%. Because our government has also seen that the distribution system is unreasonable, which limits the current and future development of Chinese films. Therefore, they also support us on this issue. Only However, it can’t be stated clearly. And all of our film companies in Huaxia have established disciplinary committees, with the CEO of the company whose comprehensive strength reaches the top ten as the chairman. Before the theater chain agrees to the new sharing conditions, no matter which film company dares to do it in private The theater chain provides the film, and we will all unite to deal a devastating blow to it and completely drive it out of the Chinese entertainment circle. It is said that the New China theater chain with a screen of [-] yuan can only last for one month .At that time, they will not have any films to release, they will lose money every day, and within a month, they should compromise."

Harvey said excitedly: "You are amazing, much better than us. I wish you great success."

After the conversation, Rodriguez looked at the excited crowd and said, "Everyone heard Mr. Shen's words just now, what do you think?"

Harvey was the first to speak: "Need to say? Done."

"Yes. This opportunity is truly unprecedented, and we must seize it."

"For the tomorrow of the movie, we will fight hard."

"Hollywood has always been the vane of the world's entertainment industry. We can't let our colleagues in China see our jokes. Do it."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, without exception, they all demanded a change in profit distribution.

Rodriguez stood up and said with a smile: "Great. Everyone, let me tell you another piece of good news. Colleagues in Europe, Asia and other countries and regions are also preparing to launch a war against theaters. For the future of movies, How about we hold a press conference tomorrow and ask the theaters to change the distribution ratio of the box office?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Okay."

Early the next morning, in front of hundreds of reporters, the bosses of more than 70 film companies in Hollywood demanded that the theaters change the box office quota system, otherwise they would no longer provide movies to the theaters.

Coincidentally, in less than two hours, major film and television companies in Europe and Asia also held a press conference, demanding an increase in their profit distribution ratio.

No one expected that it was originally a matter of China, but in less than three days, it turned into a decisive battle between film companies and theaters all over the world.

The entire film market is in chaos, and the stocks in the entertainment industry are falling crazily.

In particular, Xiao Yunhai's New China Cinemas fell the most. In less than three days, the market value plummeted from 300 billion to 200 billion.

Other theater chains are not much better, and all have different degrees of decline.

Although the film and television companies in Huaxia have also been affected, they are much lighter than these theaters.

Because theaters can only show movies, but film and television companies can produce TV dramas.

As if after some discussion, they announced that they would suspend the filming plan and concentrate on filming TV series until the theaters agreed to their request.

On March [-] alone, more than a dozen TV dramas were approved by the Ministry of Culture.

Seeing that the film and television company seemed determined to fight against them, the theater owners were so angry that they almost burst into smoke.

Li Rongguang dropped his glass directly and cursed, "They're all a bunch of bastards."
