Star Entertainment Tycoon

It has been a week since "Ming Quan" was released, but the movie is still extremely popular. Although the main creator Gu Jingchuan is still busy recruiting employees, he has not directly participated in other promotional activities except for a talk show on Instant.com. The topicality of "Mingquan" itself is enough to be worth countless publicity.

People's word of mouth is better than all publicity, and the recommendations of cultural masters play a decisive role.Now even the teachers in the school would recommend students to read "Mingquan" to learn about the culture of the ancient Huaguo. This made the subscription curve of "Mingquan" in the background of Jixun.com continue to climb upwards, without any sign of decline.

At this time, no matter how much the theater companies deceive themselves, they have to admit that they have miscalculated.They originally wanted to give favors to the entertainment industry, but who knew that they lost a whole golden hen that laid golden eggs.

In the film industry of the cosmic history, the division of forces is no longer what it was in the 21st century. The lowest status is the distribution company, because they are all supported by richer film production companies, while the highest status is these cinemas. company.Even a national film company can only bow its head in front of the theater company, otherwise no matter how big the film is, it will never be able to appear on the big screen.Since they are the most powerful, why do they refuse a lot of star coins for the face of the film company and distribution company?

After figuring this out, the representatives of various theater companies went to Instant.com to ask for Gu Jingchuan's contact information. They had to put a movie as good as "Mingquan" on the big screen to let more audiences know about it. The magic of the movie!

Jixun.com did not obstruct the action of the theater company, and after extracting some benefits, it disclosed Gu Jingchuan's contact information to them.There seems to be a contradiction between online video subscriptions and physical movie theaters, but in fact there is not much conflict.

Scheduling films for theaters is a very troublesome thing. It’s not that you can move out the schedule if you want it. Even if the bosses of these theaters contacted Gu Jingchuan immediately, Gu Jingchuan immediately signed the release contract, and then prepared the film copy and arranged the film. It will take at least one or two months or even longer to arrange the films.

After such a long time, netizens who should have watched "Mingquan" have already watched the movie online, so what else do they have to lose?You must know that there is no schedule for online subscriptions, and there is no limit on the number of shows. No matter how many netizens are, they don’t have to worry about not being able to buy movie tickets, they can watch movies as soon as possible.If it is in a physical theater, it may take weeks or even months to download a movie, but it is much faster on the Internet. Instant.com is not worried about being robbed of stars by theaters.

Most netizens don’t have the habit of going to movie theaters. They still subscribe to videos on the Internet to watch. It’s understandable that those who really like movies want to watch the movie theater version after watching the online version. They can’t stop them. .Now that he has taken the benefits and sold favors to the theater company, he has not lost any profits, and he has also been thanked by the theater company, isn't it good?

Just like that, Gu Jingchuan, who was hiding in the studio to recruit employees, was blocked by representatives of theater companies.Fortunately, he was blocked by a delegation in a suburb with few people, and no one saw what was happening on his side, otherwise the news about his star on the set would be leaked out, and there would be no An Sheng even with Shen Zhuo. Days passed.

Seeing these representatives of theater chains smiling and nodding at him in a friendly manner, Gu Jingchuan was angry and funny, and he knew that such a day would come.The theater company will never let go of the fat that is on the lips. Relying on the fact that the film company and the distribution company can't offend them, they will definitely go all the way and don't give face to the entertainment circle, and trample their entire faces in the dirt.

At this stage, Gu Jingchuan is still inseparable from the assistance of theater companies. It is impossible for him to show every movie only on the small screen of the Internet. Sooner or later, he cannot bypass the cinema.The entertainment industry is the sworn enemy at this stage, and if offended, he will be offended. He is about to create his own film company and distribution company, so it's okay not to show good looks to other distribution companies.But theater companies... can coexist peacefully, and being friendly to each other is naturally the best.

He had already seen the problem clearly, so he told the story of his rejection by various distribution companies in the talk show of Instant.com, but he didn't mention the past of him being kicked out by the theater company.Be a human being and stay on the line, so we can meet each other in the future.Wouldn't it be useful now?

He didn't mean to embarrass the theater company, and directly found a place that was suitable for talking and didn't worry about leaking his whereabouts to discuss the release of the movie.If a popular movie wants to be widely released, one or two theater companies will definitely not be able to afford it.Therefore, the representatives who came to Gu Jingchuan had already decided to jointly screen "Mingquan", and directly sent a general representative to discuss with Gu Jingchuan the specific issues of copying, film arrangement and dividend distribution.

In terms of copying, the theater chain said that Gu Jingchuan didn't have to worry about it at all, they would contact them, and they would pay for it, so Gu Jingchuan didn't have to worry about everything.

In terms of film scheduling, they will give Gu Jingchuan the greatest convenience, and ensure that the entire film will be spread to all livable planets in the entire Huaguo at the same time, so that all audiences who like "Ming Quan" can see this excellent film.

As for how to divide the dividends... Gu Jingchuan didn't ask for it, and the ratio he asked for was not high, and it was still far from the theater company's bottom line, which surprised the representatives of the theater company.

Jixun.com once deliberately disclosed to them Gu Jingchuan and Jixun.com's share ratio, trying to sell Gu Jingchuan a favor and help him increase his share with the theater.Gu Jingchuan asked for two-thirds of the subscription revenue, and even intervened in the advertising revenue, taking half of it.They thought that Gu Jingchuan would ask the theaters for such a price, but who knew that in terms of income, he only wanted half of it. This ratio was really within their acceptable range, which made them feel very comfortable.

Gu Jingchuan looked at the relaxed expression of the representatives of the theater chain, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Based on my relationship with the theater chain and the popularity of the movie "Ming Quan", the proportion I said is a little proportional Not high, I think Mr. Representative also agrees."

The representative of the theater chain nodded, and echoed, "Indeed. In the past, our theater chain was deceived, which hurt the relationship between the theater chain and Mr. Gu..."

Gu Jingchuan interrupted and said: "You also said that those things at the beginning really hurt the relationship between us..." This sentence surprised the representatives of the theater, but Gu Jingchuan smiled and continued: "So apart from the film's For the box office share, I have a few additional conditions that I would like to discuss with you."

The theater representative's face changed, but at this moment he had lost the initiative, and could only say with a sad face, "Say it, say it."

Gu Jingchuan said in a calm voice, "First, I don't have distribution power in my hands, but I want to set up my own distribution company and film company in the future. I know that there is some relationship with the theater chain in this regard. I hope that you can match up by then. , give me some help."

"It should be, it should be." This matter is not big, and Gu Jingchuan can be sold as a favor, the representative of the theater chain agreed with a smile.

"Secondly, I am the most responsible for the film. I didn't insert any advertisements in the opening credits of "Mingquan". In this regard, I actually lost money. Now I will give you the full responsibility for the advertisements before the film's opening credits, and I will charge half of the fee." Fee. I wonder if you agree?"

In the history of the universe, the advertising sources of movie titles often come from three aspects.The first is the advertisement attached to the copy, the second is the advertisement added by the theater company to the opening title, and the third is the advertisement added by the advertising agency company who buys out the right to show the advertisement.

Now that the film industry as a whole is in a downturn, fewer and fewer people watch movies, and advertising agencies don't care much about the rights to show titles, so most theaters still hold the rights to show ads in their own hands.Now that Gu Jingchuan gave up inserting advertisements in the copy, and handed over his rights to the cinema company, collecting half of the advertising revenue is actually not an excessive condition.This also made the theater representatives breathe a sigh of relief.

"There are only two additional conditions. If you can agree on behalf of the theater, we can sign the contract." Gu Jingchuan smiled slightly, "Although there were some unhappiness in the past, it was because you were deceived. If we If we can cooperate successfully, we will naturally become friends, and these unpleasantnesses will disappear, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future."

Hearing that Gu Jingchuan only had these two conditions, the theater representatives happily agreed to them all.Gu Jingchuan borrowed a lawyer from Jixun.com, the two parties drew up a contract, and signed it after confirming that it was correct. The release of "Ming Quan" has come to an end, and Gu Jingchuan can finally put all his experience on the establishment of a film company.

There is actually a reason why the fake teenagers didn't ask for such a high share ratio.He is now in a deadlock with the entire entertainment industry and the distribution company, and he must have a strong ally.The theater company needed Gu Jingchuan’s films to drive overall revenue, and Gu Jingchuan also needed the theater company to help him suppress the entertainment industry. The cooperation between the two parties was inevitable, so he couldn’t just cling to the share ratio and embarrass his allies.

Instant.com is a good ally, but the power of Instant.com has no way of penetrating into the entertainment circle. If Gu Jingchuan wants to develop his own power in the entertainment circle, he cannot do without the assistance of theater companies.Now he has sold the favor of the theater company, and adjusted the relationship between the theater company and the entertainment industry. At least in a short period of time, he can set up a company with peace of mind, without being entangled in the entertainment industry.

The first dividend from Jixun.com has already been credited to Gu Jingchuan's account. The fake boy bought a high-end personal terminal, a new type of star brain, bought some clothes, and wrapped a big red envelope for Shen Zhuo, but he didn't mention it. The matter of moving away from Shen Zhuo's house.

He didn't know why he was so obsessed with the feeling of living in Shen Zhuo's house. He was the one who took care of Shen Zhuo, a skilled idiot, but he didn't feel bored at all. Instead, he felt happy and warm because of Shen Zhuo's concern for him.

In his previous life, he was ups and downs in the entertainment industry. He had seen too much hypocrisy and betrayal. He had no close friends in his life, nor was he accompanied by his lover or family. Although he was successful, he was too lonely.Maybe it is precisely because of the loneliness that has lingered for two lifetimes that deeply oppresses him, that makes him yearn for the rare warmth brought to him by Shen Zhuo even more.

This kind of warmth intoxicated him, made him addicted, and made him never want to leave...

Fortunately, he didn't mention buying a house and moving away, neither did Shen Zhuo, so Gu Jingchuan continued to pretend to be a fool and live in Shen Zhuo's house, enjoying a rare peaceful life.

The first dividend of Jixun.com was astonishing, directly reaching one billion star coins. Even if he knew that the subscription number of "Mingquan" was very high, Gu Jingchuan was so scared that he almost sat on the ground when he saw the dividend.

We must know that throughout the ages of the universe, the country has taxed the Internet very high. If the dividend reaches one billion, it means that the subscription of "Mingquan" on Jixun.com has exceeded one billion, and the box office has reached more than 30 billion.This number is really astonishing. Even if the online video is downloaded earlier than the physical movie theater, it is still too exaggerated to collect 30 billion star coins at the box office in a week.

Online subscription and physical viewing are two different things. To watch a movie physically, one person can only watch the movie once, while online subscription allows several people to watch the movie together. After purchasing once, you can watch it countless times. It is a very convenient way to watch movies.In other words, on the surface, "Mingquan" has only one billion subscriptions, but in fact, the number of people who have watched this movie is definitely far more than one billion.

Even knowing that Huaguo now has a population of 70 billion, and that these people are devastated by boring lives and yearn for a good movie, Gu Jingchuan is still terrified.The entertainment industry, what a crime, let's see how you have forced the audience... No wonder the servers of the online bank were overwhelmed and paralyzed when it was released on the first day. Sure enough, we should not underestimate the yearning for entertainment of the people of Hua Country in the history of the universe. ah.

He became a billionaire overnight, and the pseudo-boy didn't expect that he could create so much wealth.Fifty thousand star coins in exchange for billions of box office, in any era is considered a miracle.

But Gu Jingchuan was obviously not satisfied yet. "Mingquan" brought him only the joy of returning to the entertainment industry and accumulating venture funds, and what he wanted was not just money.No amount of money can buy psychological satisfaction. As an ambitious man, he wants a lot of things, for example—to change the entire entertainment circle, to stand on the top of the entertainment mountain and overlook the world!

The entertainment circle wants to ban him, it's too good to think about it, this world is no longer the era when anyone can be banned if they want to be banned, and the weakened entertainment circle doesn't have that much power to hinder his progress!

Let's see, the entertainment industry intends to stick to stagnant water, but he just wants to dig a dam to let live water in.He just wants to turn the world upside down, he just wants to fight against the old stubborn in the entertainment industry, this beautiful era... belongs to him, Gu Jingchuan!
