Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Wang Lu from Baihua Cinema said angrily, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Chu, are you threatening us with whether or not we will make a movie?"

Zhang Huafeng, who had a feud with Wang Lu, sneered and said: "President Wang is serious. We just want to survive. If this continues, our film company will starve to death sooner or later. Why not change the way, maybe it is possible to survive. After all, good Is it better to live than to die?"

The movie company had obviously drawn up a strategy before, no matter which theater boss spoke, everyone would send someone who had a bad relationship with him to stand up.Anyway, it is impossible to cooperate in the future, so naturally I don't care whether to offend or not.

Wang Lu snorted and said, "I'm afraid the government won't agree to you doing this?"

Zhang Huafeng said: "We have no money, the government can't force us to make movies."

Starlight Cinema Ren Jiwen said: "I think the issue of quotas, theaters can not be reduced."

Li Rongguang and Wang Lu looked at him at the same time and said in unison, "Mr. Ren, how could you do this?"

Ren Jiwen said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, the matter has come to this point, and it is meaningless to continue to insist on it. It can only hurt both sides, and it will have a very adverse impact on the development of the Chinese film industry. In public and private, It's all bad. But the reduction in quotas is so big that I think 50:50 for the first week is quite reasonable."

"No." Zhao Mingsheng looked at Ren Jiwen and said, "Either raise the quota to 50.00% for us, or we stop filming directly and focus on TV dramas. There is no third option. This is a unanimous decision made by our film company. "

"Mr. Zhao, we have already dropped from 50.00% to 50.00%. You still don't agree. This is a bit too much." Ren Jiwen frowned and said.

Zhao Mingsheng was Xiao Yunhai's father-in-law, and he was in-law with the Xiao family, so he had a special status. Even though Ren Jiwen was angry, he still spoke with discretion.

Zhao Mingsheng said: "Mr. Zhao, I am not targeting you. In fact, whether the box office share system is changed or not has little effect on me. If it is changed, it will even be very unfavorable to me. Because my son-in-law is a Xinhua Shareholders of theater chains and North American theater chains, after the quota was changed to 50.00%, his losses far outweighed my gains. But I still did it because I was in the middle of the game, and I don’t understand the current film quota system The harm is very clear. Don't say 40.00% three, even if it is 50.00%, it will take a few years, the current thing will still happen, it is better to be in place in one step. Yunhai, don't blame me, I am also for Huaxia Movies. "

Xiao Yunhai waved his hands and said with a smile, "Dad, I understand."

On the question of how much the film quota should be, the two sides had another half-hour-long quarrel.

Finally, Liang Qianqiu knocked on the table and said: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Yu, and Mr. Hu, your New China Cinemas is the largest in the country, with more than 8000 screens. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at the three of them.

Yu Hai sighed and said, "Forget it, I decided to accept the new box office quota system. Mr. Hu and Mr. Xiao, what do you two think?"

Hu Yaoting smiled wryly and said, "I support your decision."

Xiao Yunhai spread his hands, and said, "I've never been in charge of theaters, so what do you say, then how to deal with it."

"No." Li Rongguang next to him slapped the table and said angrily, "You three, do you know what it means to do this?"

Yu Hai nodded and said: "Of course I know. Mr. Hu and I are not only shareholders of New China Cinemas, but also shareholders of Yanhuang Cinemas. Once the first week's box office drops to 40.00%[-], there will be tens of billions of losses every year. .”

Wang Lu said: "Since you know, why do you still agree?"

Yu Haidao: "If you don't agree, what can you do? Our New China Cinemas will soon face a situation where there will be no films to show. At that time, the daily expenses will be a huge astronomical figure. Who will pay us this sum?" money."

Li Rongguang said: "But you can't destroy everyone's interests because of this."

Yu Hai said expressionlessly: "Mr. Li, among the four theaters, only your Huafeng International has sufficient film sources. I don't know where Mr. Wang is. Mr. Ren has already started to add money to it. You let us What should we do? I said at the time that if the matter has not been resolved after a month, then our New China Cinemas can only compromise."

Yu Hai's words have already expressed his attitude, which made the boss of the film company opposite him happy.

Chapter 962 Compromise

If New China Cinemas, which owns 8000 yuan of screens, can accept the new allocation system, then other cinemas will no longer have to worry about it.

Xiao Yuanyang, who was seated at the top, said with a smile: "Cinema bosses, in fact, even if the movie box office quota is changed, you may not earn less than before."

Liang Qianqiu nodded and said: "That's right. The profits you gave up will make the film company dare to shoot more films. The larger the base, the more choices you will have, and naturally the chances of getting a big-selling film will also increase. , Forming a virtuous circle in this way is definitely a good thing that serves multiple purposes.”

Xiao Yuanyang said with a smile: "Since New China Cinemas has agreed to the new share system of cinemas, what is Mr. Ren's attitude towards Starlight Cinemas?"

Ren Jiwen smiled bitterly: "Do I have any other choice? Agree."

Xiao Yuanyang nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Wang Lu who was sitting next to him. Before he could ask, Wang Lu spoke first and said, "I agree too."

After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes, her body seemed to have no strength, and she leaned against the back of the chair all of a sudden.

Liang Qianqiu applauded and said: "The three theaters understand the righteousness, and Huaxia Films will never forget you. Mr. Li, what do you Huafeng International Cinemas say?"

Li Rongguang's chest rose and fell sharply, with a struggling expression on his face. After a while, he squeezed out the word "agree" between his teeth.

Liang Qianqiu and Xiao Yuanyang looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes at the same time.

The task assigned by Chief No. [-] was finally successfully completed, and the pressure on his shoulders disappeared without a trace.

Liang Qianqiu said: "Since the bosses have accepted it, I will have someone post the news on the Ministry of Culture's homepage later. There is one more important thing to inform you. The government has approved other countries to build theaters in China. Competition in the industry may become more brutal."

As soon as Liang Qianqiu finished speaking, Li Rongguang stood up in shock, and said: "Minister Liang, we agreed to reduce the box office share of the theaters, and the loss is already immeasurable. If we let them build theaters again, what loss will we have?" Isn't it bigger?"

Yu Hai couldn't help it anymore, and said: "Other countries each account for a quarter of the original Huaxia cinema chain, which is already a bit aggressive, with a market share of 30.00% or more. If they own a theater chain covering the whole country , wouldn't that just fuel their arrogance even more. Minister Liang, why did the government agree to their request?"

Liang Qianqiu sighed, and said: "The government doesn't know the seriousness of the problem, but there is no way to refuse it. Because the Yanhuang theater chain we are building has been agreed by the governments of all countries, so Huaxia also accepts the conditions they put forward. It must be agreed, this is an exchange. However, we only allow them to build one theater circuit covering China, and it cannot exceed 1 screens. As for how to allocate it, it is up to them to discuss and decide."

Ren Jiwen shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "There is another opponent, and now we are in big trouble."

Liang Qianqiu said with a smile: "Don't be pessimistic, we have to believe that domestic films will win in the end. Well, today's meeting is over, everyone can leave."

After finishing speaking, Liang Qianqiu and Xiao Yuanyang walked out first.

The bosses of theaters and film companies stood up and glanced at each other, looking very embarrassed.

After all, they were still arguing with each other just now, their faces were red, and now they want to cooperate again immediately, no one can say this.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yunhai immediately said: "Bosses, since the matter is over, let's turn the page. In the future, we need to cooperate sincerely to cope with the huge pressure brought by foreign movies. Now, Our Huaxia Cinemas is in urgent need of excellent movies, whoever is willing to cooperate with us, please contact our New China Cinemas as soon as possible."

Hu Yaoting smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, I can't wait to get out of trouble as soon as possible. It must be immediately, immediately."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Zhao Mingsheng said: "I have three movies in my hand that I can entrust to you."

Chu Heng said with a smile: "Our company also has several films waiting to be married. I wonder if New China Cinemas is interested?"

Yu Haidao: "Of course I'm interested. I'll call and let the theater go."

Chu Heng said: "Don't, let me send someone to your place."

Ren Jiwen said: "Brother Yu, you can't swallow all the movies by yourself, you have to save some for our Starlight Cinema. Mr. Shen, it's not a day or two since we cooperated. Don't you have a movie in your hand? A billion-dollar blockbuster? Be sure to leave it to me."

Shen Le glanced at Xiao Yunhai, and found that not only was there no slightest dissatisfaction on his face, but he also nodded to himself, knowing that he didn't mind, so he smiled and said, "No problem."

With the interaction of these people, the other bosses also matched up and chatted.

At this moment, the phones of Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Mingsheng rang almost at the same time.

"What? Where?"

"Yanjing No.1 People's Hospital? Okay, I'll go there right away."
