Volume One: Fascinating Thousands of Troops Chapter 215: News Out

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What Chu Xuan was talking about was probably the negotiation between the producer and the cinema last night.  In fact, Irving did not notify any media about this matter. Before the negotiation, it was because he was not sure what the final result would be, so it was better to keep a low profile. After the negotiation, he did not rush to announce it because it was such a major event.  It cannot be hidden. I think the owners of each theater chain will definitely make some big moves after returning to their own turf. This should not be hidden from the eyes of reporters. Rather than solemnly making it public, it is better to let entertainment reporters catch up with it and pass it on.  Conducting overt and covert investigations to understand the truth will help create more sensational news.

    Chu Xuan heard that Mai Chong knew what she was going to say, and said, "It's so embarrassing that you didn't tell me such hot news!" In fact, Chu Xuan didn't make this call to complain about Mai Chong. News  She could dig it out by herself. Relying on Mai Chong for everything would not show her "Sister Xuan" ability. After getting this news, she first called Mai Chong just to find a reason to talk to him. Since Tokyo  After she came back, she had been busy with work, and Mai Chong didn't take the initiative to call her, so she had to find a reason to call him shamelessly.

    "It's not that I'm not mean, it's just that I just learned about the news. I'm just a wage earner. Thanks to my boss, I shared this exciting news with me. By the way, how did you know about it?" Mai Chong asked curiously.  .

    "Of course we reporters have our own spies. You have to be careful. I also have spies in Tianxia Group." Chu Xuan smiled and said, what kind of spies? In fact, it was Chu Xuan's good luck that the blind cat met his death.  Mouse, she originally wanted to keep an eye on Feng Xiaogang, because his "A World Without Thieves" is about to be released. Now it has entered the hot promotion period. The public is now paying more attention to his news. As the saying goes, what does the market need? Entertainment journalists  She wanted to write something, so Chu Xuan brought her assistant Wang Jinming to keep an eye on Director Feng.

    However, when Chu Xuan was following Feng Xiaogang, she happened to see him drinking tea and chatting with Wang Zhonglei. Chu Xuan hid beside them and eavesdropped. Through their conversation, she learned that there were thirty theater chains in the country, and the most powerful half of them  Yesterday, a compromise was made with the film producers represented by Tianxia Pictures, agreeing to increase the producers' share to 20% and reduce ticket prices.

    Chu Xuan listened carefully, as if this incident happened yesterday, and was not reported in newspapers or TV news. It was still new enough. She visited several cinemas in the capital. Although the cinema owners did not accept her interview, the visit was not  It went smoothly, but the information obtained from the staff can basically confirm that the content of the conversation between Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang was true.

    Chu Xuan used this phone call to carefully question Mai Chong's recent itinerary. If she had time, she might still keep an eye on Mai Chong's news, but the most important thing now is the big news about the producer and the exhibitor. If nothing unexpected happens  This incident will definitely be ranked among the top ten entertainment events of the year. As an entertainment reporter, this is what she cares about most.

    After hanging up the phone, Mu Weiyu looked at Mai Chong with strange eyes and moved his lips, but finally said nothing. This guy said everything after being asked a few questions. It seems that he must be on guard against Chu in the future.  There are some big reporters, but with Mai Chong, a guy who likes to betray himself, she is really hard to guard against.

    Just when Chu Xuan calmed down and started writing the manuscript, many people already vaguely knew the news.  In fact, as early as the night before yesterday when the theater bosses walked out of the Tianxia Building, this news had already begun to spread within the industry. After all, this is the information age, and a few phone calls can spread the news to all over the world.

    Everyone who got the news also had their own reactions.

    The Film Administration Bureau under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has been paying attention to this matter before, and Han Sanping has been reporting to Director Shen Yancheng on the progress of this matter. Although it is called the Administration Bureau, it is a market economy now, and the film industry should be led by the market.  Whether it is movie ticket prices or movie sharing, they only have the right to make suggestions and have no control and management rights. Now that I heard that Irving and the others have forced the exhibitors to make such big concessions, I can't help but lament the power of the market. They have exercised their right to make suggestions many times in the past.  They hoped to increase the producers' share of the revenue in order to promote the prosperity of the film industry, but they have not been successful. Unexpectedly, the stubborn theaters were forced to this point by three Chinese-language blockbusters with high potential. "This Mr. Ou is very capable.  Ah!" Shen Yancheng sighed.

    Deputy Director Sha next to Shen Yancheng said with a smile: "Now that the share of film producers has increased to this level, more and more people will apply for film projects in the coming year. The spring of domestic films may be coming. This can be regarded as Shen Yancheng's success."  The director¡¯s political achievements.¡±

    Shen Yancheng stroked his chair and said with regret, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see spring coming with my own eyes."

    Zhang Yimou just went to Japan during the East Film Festival a few days ago, and had a sincere conversation with Ken Takakura, and finally persuaded this veteran Japanese idol who is nearly 80 years old to star in the film.For his new film "Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles", he has been in retreat since returning to China to prepare the storyboard. While he was busy, his old partner Zhang Weiping came to him and told him an amazing news: Owen, Wang Zhongjun and others were actually convinced.  From now on, the major theater chains across the country can also enjoy a share of the box office!

    Zhang Yimou was only slightly surprised after hearing this, and then said calmly while writing his own shot script: "This is a good thing."

    Zhang Weiping said with regret: "If I had known that these theater chain bosses were so soft-boned, our "House of Flying Daggers" should have directly mentioned this ratio, so that the country could increase the company's revenue by millions more. At the beginning,  The strategy of improving one percentage point by one percentage point is still wrong. Our pace should be bigger." Zhang Weiping is a businessman who pursues profits. He invests in Zhang Yimou's movies. Appreciating Lao Mouzi's talent is one thing, but the most important thing is  Or maybe he thinks that movies are a profitable and elegant business that can make money and pretend to be a cultural person, so why not do it.

    Of course, Zhang Weiping's complaint goes beyond the loss of millions in income. "The most disgusting thing is that people like Owen actually lowered the movie ticket price I raised. I really don't know what they think!" Provoke  The increase in movie ticket prices across the country is something Zhang Weiping has always been proud of. He feels that he alone defeated the entire theater industry and created a great situation for future film workers. But now the ticket prices have dropped again.  , the box office will definitely drop again. Do these idiots really think that if the ticket price is lowered, moviegoers will flock to it!  Human-headed pig brain!

    Seeing Zhang Yimou not answering his words, Zhang Weiping then remembered that his good partner had also raised objections to the issue of raising ticket prices. He hoped that his movie would be seen by more people, but Zhang Weiping wanted him to invest.  If he could get his capital back, he would earn as much as he could. In the end, Zhang Yimou gave in. After all, he was more determined to pay.

    In addition to Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, another great Chinese film director who is on par with him, also heard the news. Of course, it was Han Sanping who revealed it to him. Now that "The Promise" has entered the post-production stage, Director Chen Kaige has been living in seclusion and staying out of the window.  If Han Sanping hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that such a big thing happened in the industry, but it had little to do with him, so he would just listen to it as an anecdote, and wait until his "The Promise" is released.  The matter must have been settled, and he only needed to directly harvest the fruits of victory from Owen Wang Zhongjun and others.

    Another person who has the same thoughts as Chen Kaige is Yu Dong of Polybona. Although he is not involved in this matter, he must be mentally supporting Irving and Wang Zhongjun. Their victory is also his victory for Yu Dong, which confirms the news.  After confirming the reliability, he called the people from the investment department and asked them to pay attention to whether there were any film projects in the circle that needed investment, and they had to be reliable ones.

    In 2003, Poly Bona began to experiment with film production and invested in "Beauty Grass" starring Liu Ye and Shu Qi. It won excellent reputation and box office, and also won Liu Ye a golden rooster. Bona, who tasted the sweetness, has successively  He participated in the investment of "Please Praise Me" and "Say I Love You Again". It seems that the pace of development will be accelerated next year. He does not want to just be an industry leader in the distribution industry. Now he has great plans for making movies.  , he hopes to compete with Huayi Brothers and Tianxia Pictures in the first stage of the film industry.

    The above people are all relatively well-established people in the film industry. They all got the news through various channels before the news came out in the media. Although they were shocked by the compromise of the theaters, this situation was a situation they were happy to see.  After all, Irving and Wang Zhongjun are fighting for the common interests of their group.

    Theater owners who have conflicts of interest with their group have also received notices from their theater chains and been informed of the results of the negotiations.  These people own movie theaters, which are the terminals where movies are shown, and have signed contracts with theater companies, who represent their interests. But now the theater bosses have ceded their own interests on their behalf. Some are angry, and some are helpless.  , some are unacceptable.

    They went to the theater chain company to make a fuss, claiming that if the share of the revenue was not increased, they would switch to other theater chains. As a result, the theater chain company blocked them back with one sentence: "The ratio is now the same for theater chains across the country. You can  Don¡¯t accept it, but you can¡¯t change it.¡±

    ¡°As a result, most theaters still accepted the arrangement of the theater chain. It¡¯s not that they didn¡¯t make a profit at this ratio, but compared with the considerable profits they could easily make in the past, movie money in the future will not be so easy to make.  Of course, there are also more courageous theater owners who feel they have been bullied and lost their dignity. They resolutely refuse to accept the arrangement of the theater chain. If the theater chain does not arrange movies for them in December, then they would rather sell the theater and no longer engage in business.  This industry, after all, there are many more rising industries in the world than movie theaters.  Later, when Irving heard this voice, he immediately told Bian Boqi, "If someone sells it, let's buy it. I'm still worried about the movie."The hospital is not enough.

    On the first day after the negotiations, the news was limited to some people in the film industry.

    The next day, the entertainment circle exploded, because both TV media and print media successively launched special reports related to the incident, making the incident known to everyone at once. It seems that the "Beijing Daily"  Chu Xuan is not the only one who has insight into this news.  To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.  (PS: Thanks to the empire for the infinite melancholy reward. This should be the vest of an old friend. You don¡¯t tell me who I am, so I guess, I guess, I guess)
