Chapter 193 Twenty Movie Theaters
The "Once upon a time" ticket refund incident became more and more troublesome, and the ticket buying gang finally couldn't bear the pressure and turned off the ticket refund function.

But the market has been thoroughly muddled.

The investors of "Once Upon a Time" who were frantically swiping tickets almost sold out the remaining tickets in their hoards. The tickets sold now are already paid by real audiences.

After the premiere on May 5.1, the word-of-mouth of the film could not be suppressed by overwhelming advertisements, and it began to show its original shape.

However, some viewers found that tickets cannot be refunded.

The theater does not accept refunds, and the ticket purchase gang has also locked the refund function. In short, as long as you buy it, it is impossible to refund it.

At the same time, "Once upon a time" issued a good news in the newsletter, congratulating the film on its first-day box office of 1.75 million yuan, breaking a new record for the first-day box office of Chinese local movies!

But this time there was no relevant professional media in the circle to celebrate.

This film of cross-border investment is too dirty, and it is clear that it is to make dirty money, regardless of other people's life or death.

Although the incident of ticket refunds was a big one, it could not compare to the strong box office data of 1.75 million on the first day. Coupled with the viral marketing of "Once Upon a Time", many viewers who watched the box office to choose a movie would still buy tickets for this movie.

Moreover, in order to stop losses, the theaters had to hold their noses and continue to show "Once Upon a Time".

In short... until the word of mouth of this movie is completely rotten, if it can cheat an audience, it will be the money of a movie ticket.

Because of the lockout of the ticket refund system, the ticket buying gang began to encounter crazy complaints within a day, and was spurned by both theater colleagues and customer groups.

On the other hand, Panda, who was on the verge of dying, still insisted on refunding tickets, and was willing to bear half of the loss with the theater.

Although the cost of this loss is not much, it at least shows the attitude of people doing business.

At this time, many theater owners realized that only one ticket buying gang in the market is not enough. Dynasty Entertainment monopolizes the online ticket buying business.

So on the 5.2nd day, the theaters kept calling, wanting to have a chat with Gu Changming, who is responsible for purchasing tickets for the panda.

What to talk about, of course, is to talk about connecting panda ticket purchases to theater ticket sales channels.

Starting today, Panda Tickets has officially revealed its claws, and has begun to receive a large number of theater channels to seize the online ticketing market from the helpers of ticket purchases.

Wei Xun himself received the two presidents of Times Pictures, Jin ZB and Hu Zhengxin, in the reception room.

"You two seem to be in a bit of a haggard state." Passing over two cups of boiled tea, Wei Xun said with a smile: "Try it, it should be able to relieve fatigue."

Jin ZB picked up the cup and took a sip, admiringly said: "It's really good tea, but Lao Hu and I have a lot of things to worry about now, a cup of clear tea is really useless."

Wei Xun sighed, and said, "I've also heard about the ticket refund for "Once Upon a Time", but with the strength of Times Pictures, it shouldn't be too much, right?"

"It was possible, but they couldn't get enough of it. They refunded another 10,000+ movie tickets at Times Cinemas overnight." Jin ZB smiled wryly: "In short, it's hard to say."

This time, Wei Xun smiled and didn't answer any more.

After all, Medallion Media is not doing charity. I can give you two cups of tea. As for other things, we are not able to help you.

Oh, actually, I secretly tricked you last night.

It's just embarrassing.

Seeing that Wei Xun didn't speak, Jin ZB sighed silently in his heart, and turned to look at Hu Zhengxin.

Hu Zhengxin, who had been silent since he came in, took a deep breath, squeezed out a stiff smile, and said, "Wei Xun... No, Mr. Wei, what happened to the "Chinese Partner" before was really my brother's dishonesty. But now Times Theater is having a hard time, and it seems difficult to buy tickets for your panda, I thought, we can cooperate..."

"Boss Wei."

Before Hu Zhengxin finished speaking, the door of the president's office was knocked open. Mao Bin smiled apologetically at Hu Zhengxin, then looked at Wei Xun, and said, "Director Lin of Huaying Media would like to invite you to dinner. There is Changming. There are about a dozen theaters wanting to connect to the online channel for panda ticket purchases today. He is a bit busy right now and wants you to come over and get an idea. Half an hour later, Mr. Hang from Tianguang , The pools in Guanchi will always come with their film managers and investment teams, you have to go out and greet them."

"Ok."

Wei Xun nodded in response, and when Mao Bin left, he smiled and said, "Boss Hu, keep talking."

When Hu Zhengxin heard this, his face trembled.

Huaying Media's appointment with Wei Xun must be the same as that of many theaters, and they must accept the online channel for panda ticket purchases.

Chi Sheng and Hang Gaoyang brought the investment team over, and they probably wanted to raise funds for panda tickets.

Hu Zhengxin was slapped in the face as soon as he said that it was hard for pandas to buy tickets.

So, it's not a partnership of equals.

It's Times Cinemas who need Medal to lend a helping hand.

Seeing that the two presidents of Times were silent, Wei Xun said lightly: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Jin, I understand what you mean by coming today. But with all due respect, a partner must pay attention to sincerity. I have already been tricked once. , it is impossible to be cheated a second time."

"However, the era's theater chain is still a very considerable channel for panda ticket purchases."

Jin ZB said a little dejectedly: "Mr. Wei, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. Times Pictures wants to connect with Panda Tickets as soon as possible, and get the qualification to release "Wolf Warrior". It's unclear, what price the Times needs to pay, Mr. Wei can just say it."

"It's still enough for President Jin to be happy."

Wei Xun smiled and praised, then walked to the desk, took a prepared document, and said with a smile: "You agree to my conditions, then you can agree to the two conditions above, the medal today. "

Jin ZB and Hu Zhengxin leaned over to read a few pages hastily, and then their faces became very ugly.

This is a transfer contract for [-] Times Cinemas.

Including Beijing, Shanghai, and Flower Market, among the [-] first- and second-tier cities, there is one theater in each city, all of which are medium and large theaters in prime locations.

Of these twenty theaters, one with 500 million yuan, the Medal contributed a total of [-] million yuan in transfer fees.

This price may seem high, but in fact, it is difficult to win a medium-to-large theater without an investment of at least seventy-eight million yuan.

Moreover, if you invest by yourself, you need to terminate the contract for the decoration of the theater, the venue lease contract with the property, the theater business qualification, the management team, etc. It is too difficult to open [-] theaters in a short time.

Still like Guanchi, it is easier to buy ready-made ones.

So Wei Xun put his idea on Times Pictures, and once he opened his mouth, he suppressed the price to death.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is taking advantage of the fire.

"This is not a negotiation, it is a necessary condition."

Seeing that Jin ZB was about to speak, Wei Xun said first: "Boss Jin, there is nothing to talk about, sign or not, give me an answer."

　Ps: Thanks to 'Wu Qianyu', 'Long Felt Hat' and 'Long Ziyu' for their rewards, it was a waste of money.

　　These few are too difficult to write. Recently, I checked the information and found a breakdown. It involves online ticketing software, the purchase of theaters, and commercial capital operations. I don’t know how you feel about it. I think this is really already It's the limit of my IQ.

　　I am so tired that my head hurts. If the third one is not sent out tonight, I will make it up tomorrow by default. I will relax my mind and sort out the outline behind it.

　　But fortunately, the initial foundation of the medal has been laid. IP breeding, ticketing software, theater chains, including music and novel subsidiaries, the early stage feels solid. Waiting for Xunxun to work hard to make movies to make money, let's put this Business empires are built.
