From traffic to movie star

Chapter 115 Starting to Brew a Big Move

The field of capital struggle is changing rapidly. It is not uncommon for an ally one day to become an enemy the next.

For example, Times Pictures and Wei Xun.

With the previous cooperation in "Wuwen Xidong", the relationship between the two parties has been in a friendly period, but now because of greater interests, Times Pictures chose to abandon Wei Xun immediately without hesitation.

To put it bluntly, it was because Wei Xun was not strong enough.

However, if it is as powerful as Guanchi Group, if it rashly enters the theater market, it will be attacked by movie giants such as Dynasty Entertainment, not to mention Wei Xun who works alone.

Profits drive people crazy.

Times Pictures, in the vice president's office.

Wei Xun and Hu Zhengxin sat facing each other.

"I think you should have been to Guanchi Group, so I won't repeat the cause and effect to you. This time, you and Guanchi Films have been collectively rejected by the film and television industry."

Hu Zhengxin sighed and regretted, "If you had agreed to join Times Pictures before, you would not be in such a situation now."

Wei Xun smiled, and said: "According to what you said, wouldn't it be easier for me to join Dynasty Entertainment directly. The temple in your house is too small."

Now that his face was torn, there was no need for Wei Xun to be polite.

A sullen look appeared on Hu Zheng's face, and a moment later he handed over a contract from the table and said, "I know you're angry, but there's nothing you can do about it. Everyone has their own difficulties. The guarantee is 5000 million yuan. If the contract is converted into a 3000 million buyout, Times Pictures will have nothing to do with "Chinese Partner" in the future."

Wei Xun didn't look at the contract, and said directly: "I can only give you 2000 million."

Hu Zhengxin mocked: "Now you still have the heart to bargain with me, can "Chinese Partner" still stand up to the toss, and Times Pictures has also fulfilled part of the contract, the early announcement has not been missed, and also contacted the theater for you square."

Wei Xun sneered and said, "Did you contact the theater that signed an exclusive agreement with Dynasty Entertainment's "A Show Tonight" for me?"

Hu Zhengxin's expression froze.

"2000 million, this is the highest price I can give you, 1000 million to enter, 2000 million to exit, if it is not stuck at the time when "Chinese Partner" is about to be released, according to my personality, I will not pay a penny for you."

Wei Xun leaned forward a little, and said in a cold voice, "Because you are blackmailing."

Of course, Hu Zhengxin would not be so stupid as to answer this sensitive question, but chose to be sloppy: "But the 5000 million guarantee contract, but you..."

"Hu Zhengxin, now, immediately contact your board of directors to discuss whether you will sign the 2000 million or not. You are afraid of Dynasty Entertainment's exclusivity agreement, are you not afraid of bumping into me in the theater in the future?"

Wei Xun interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Think about Tianguang Media's "Story of a Thief". Believe me, Times Pictures dared to play dirty with me and ruined "Chinese Partner". Then, next, I will Keep your eyes on Time Films like you are on Tianguang.”

In the process of cooperating with Times Pictures, Wei Xun has always been tough and has never been suppressed. At this time, the toughness in the past has become the capital of today's negotiations.

And how Wei Xun dealt with Tianguang Media, Times Pictures also saw it.

So facing Wei Xun's threat at this moment, Hu Zhengxin hesitated.

After all, even Dynasty Entertainment had to use an exclusive agreement to deal with Wei Xun's "Chinese Partner". It can be seen that Dynasty Entertainment attaches great importance to this film.

Furthermore, as the original investor of "Chinese Partner", Hu Zhengxin is well aware of the threat of this film.

If it is not necessary to stand in line with Dynasty Entertainment, and covet Dynasty Entertainment's theater cooperation, Times Pictures will definitely not choose to withdraw from the investment of "Partners in China".

And from "Wuwen Xidong" to "Chinese Partner", it is enough to prove Wei Xun's terrible talent for film production. If he uses the same method against Tianguang Media on Times Pictures next, Hu Zhengxin will think about it. I feel chills all over.

So after a moment of silence, under Wei Xun's gaze, he got up and went to negotiate with the board of directors of Times Pictures.

Half an hour later, the contract on "Partners in China" changed from a guarantee of 5000 million yuan to a buyout of 2000 million yuan, and Times Pictures completely withdrew from the project.

Wei Xun left the vice president's office with the contract, and met Shao Bing and Jiang Duzhou at the door.

The three of them looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then they all laughed.

"Lao Jiang and I are still running the promotional road show. No matter how the company and your affairs are resolved, but I directed the film "Chinese Partner" and took the boat to participate in it. Then the two of us will not abandon it."

Shao Bing hammered Wei Xun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brothers can only help you here, and you don't have the ability to help other things. Next, you have to hold on."

Jiang Duzhou also laughed beside him and said, "Old Shao was afraid that you would think too much, so he dragged me over to block you, and planned to have a hypocritical brother confession... Oh shit."

Before he finished speaking, Shao Bing kicked him out, causing Jiang Duzhou to grin in pain.

Wei Xun stretched out his arms with a smile, hugged the shoulders of the two and patted them, and then left gracefully.

After walking a few steps, he waved the document bag in his hand without looking back, and said, "What a big deal, it won't happen, see you later."

People are emotional animals, and it would be a lie to say that it is not uncomfortable to be stabbed in the back by Times Pictures.

But fortunately, Wei Xun also made friends with Jiang Duzhou and Shao Bing, that's pretty good, isn't it?

At least after coming out of Times Pictures, Wei Xun's mood is not bad.

"Brother Xun, although this matter is a bit embarrassing, I want to say that it is actually quite good for Times Pictures to quit."

Mao Bin looked at Wei Xun's face, and said: "The early film announcements are almost over, and we have the backing of Guanchi's theater chain. Next, if the box office of "Chinese Partner" goes high, we don't need to give them any money." Yes. As for the grievance now, we will get it back sooner or later."

Wei Xun glanced at Mao Bin in surprise when he heard the words, and then praised: "That's right, you've made a lot of progress recently."

Mao Bin laughed and said: "There are many things I have experienced, and I always have to grow, and brother Xun, you are walking too fast, and I have to work hard to keep up with you."

During this period of time, Mao Bin really worked hard to adapt to the position of this agent.

"Very good." Wei Xun praised with a smile, and then said, "Has Gu Changming made contact?"

Mao Bin immediately nodded and said, "I've made contact. I also hired a reliable lawyer from Xingyang Law Firm. His name is Zhao Hui. They are waiting at Panda Film and Television."

So Wei Xun said: "Okay, then go to Panda Film and Television to have a look."

After watching the panda film and television materials given by Gu Changming, Wei Xun finally decided to acquire 1000% of the shares of Panda at a price of 80.00 million.

Gu Changming agreed.

After all, Panda Film and Television has reached the point where it can no longer survive, and if someone is willing to inject capital into the holding, it must be better than selling it at a low price.

Half an hour later, Wei Xun came to Panda Film and Television. Gu Changming and lawyer Zhao Hui were already waiting for him.

"Mr. Wei... No, Mr. Wei." Gu Changming still wanted to call Teacher Wei, but soon realized the problem, changed his name to Mr. Wei, and asked tentatively, "Shall I show you around the company first?"

A small business in a commercial building, with more than [-] employees, actually has nothing to visit.

"No, I'm only in charge of controlling the company's development trend. For specific internal management issues, I will follow your previous instructions for the time being."

Wei Xun shook his head and said, "I have a problem that needs to be solved now. You find the company's programmers and introduce another function for the panda ticket purchase business."

Gu Changming was surprised when he heard the words: "What function?"

Wei Xun explained: "Whenever a customer buys a movie ticket, the system will waive part of the fee for him. For example, for a ticket of 60 yuan, the customer may be able to buy it for 50 yuan."

On Earth, before 2010, the highest domestic movie box office in China was around [-] million.

In just a few years, the highest box office soared to more than one billion, and more than two billion.

Not only is it because of the fierce film market, a lot of capital has entered the market, and the number of movie theaters has increased sharply, but also because of the discounted ticket prices.

In this way, Maoyan and Tao Piao Piao made their way in the online box office market, monopolizing nearly 90.00% of the online box office in the market, and finally each successfully went public, swelling to tens of billions of assets.

A ticket-buying software can go to such a height, it has to be said that the Internet age is crazy enough.

The first film on earth to break market rules in China and use ticket discounts to harvest box office was an imported film "Transformers 4".

After the film entered the Chinese market, the box office exceeded 20 million in three days, and finally nearly [-] billion in total box office was released, which directly broke the box office data of "Avatar" in China.

There will be a follow-up movie called "The Future Will Be Undated". After learning "Change 4" according to the script, 2000 million yuan was spent as a discount for movie tickets.

Then, "Heart Blossoms on the Road" simply hit 9.9, 19.9 for watching movies at an amazingly low price, and became the highest box office of the year in one fell swoop, harvesting nearly [-] billion in box office!

What these two films have in common is that the quality is indescribable.

But it was because of the discounted ticket prices that they piled up an astonishingly high box office!
Therefore, don't think that cheap products are not good products, cheaper ones can sometimes have a subversive effect!

There is another official term for this method of discounting movie tickets, which is called ticket supplement.

And Wei Xun intends to use this method to change the ticket price of the industry, to face Dynasty Entertainment's "Tonight's Show", and at the same time take the opportunity to seize the online ticketing market and launch Panda Movies and Television!
