This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 262
In the office, Lin Ziyi carefully checked the company's reports, especially the attendance rate and box office of the movies being shown, which were her main focus.

The boutique film "The Hobbit" produced by Fox Film and Television has already surpassed [-] million at the box office.

This result, Lin Ziyi had expected, this movie itself is very strong, with the addition of the big IP of Lord of the Rings, the production is Fox, a film and television giant, good results are normal, and bad results are not normal.

In comparison, it is surprising that the bad film "The Age of the Hobbit" can have a box office of more than 2000 million.

Although it has long been known that Xu Nan is a guy who has been acting violently in China, Lin Ziyi is still surprised that he can be so aggressive in the United States.

Don't even think about it, the movement on the Internet must be caused by Xu Nan.

And he succeeded. The cost of "The Age of the Hobbit" was only 20 US dollars, but the box office has already reached 2000 million US dollars. The production cost and the box office are one to one hundred.

A director who can make money is a good director, and the more money he makes, the more capital likes him.

Deliberately assigning some films to the bad film "The Age of the Hobbit" is actually not very profitable for the Emperor Cinemas. The attendance rate of this kind of bad film is definitely not as good as that of "The Hobbit".

But Emperor Cinemas has a stake in Nanhai Film and Television, counting this, then Emperor Cinemas will make money.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Lin Ziyi said without raising her head.

"President." Garcia, an executive from Emperor Cinemas, walked in.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Ziyi was polite with alienation, but it was impossible to find fault.

Garcia's attitude was also very polite: "It's like this. The vice president of Fox Film and Television called me just now and asked why we released the movie "The Age of the Hobbit". Please let us explain."

Lin Ziyi smiled: "What movies our company releases, what does it have to do with Fox Films, it's their turn to point fingers."

Garcia said calmly: "President, our company has a cooperative relationship with Fox Film and Television for many years, it's better not to be so tough."

"I personally suggest that it is best to reduce the schedule of "The Age of the Hobbit" and increase the schedule of "The Hobbit", so that Fox Film and Television will not care."

Lin Ziyi's painting style changed: "Okay, no problem, you can ask Fox Film and Television, if "The Hobbit" can let our company take a stake, if so, I will immediately increase its film schedule."

"President." Garcia couldn't help raising his voice: "The Hobbit has already been released, and it is impossible for Fox Films to agree. Even if Fox Films agrees, it is impossible for other parties to agree."

Lin Ziyi laughed immediately: "Then Fox Films doesn't care how many films I arrange."

Garcia was silent for a while, and finally persuaded: "President Lin, we'd better not have such an argument with Fox Film and Television. I still suggest reducing the schedule of "The Age of the Hobbit" to "The Hobbit". Although the box office of the film is good, the attendance rate is not as good as that of "The Hobbit", and our company can make more money by giving "The Hobbit" a higher ranking."

Lin Ziyi stared directly at Garcia like a sword, Garcia showed no sign of weakness, with a calm expression, it seemed that he was really considering the interests of the theater.

But Lin Ziyi knew that Garcia's purpose was not pure.

"The Age of the Hobbit" was a film she released against all opposition. If the results were not good, it would definitely affect her prestige in the company, but if the results were too good, it would also affect the prestige of Garcia's executives who opposed the film's release.

Therefore, Garcia made a move, wanting to reduce the schedule of "The Age of the Hobbit", reduce the score of this film, and reduce the adverse impact on him.

The reason is high-sounding and considered for the benefit of the company.

This is a factional struggle in the company, and almost all big companies cannot avoid it. Lin Ziyi has suffered a lot from it, but there is really nothing to do in a short time, and she can only work a little bit to improve.

Faced with Garcia's suggestion, Lin Ziyi suddenly smiled: "No, because the company owns 30.00% of the shares in Nanhai Film and Television, the producer of the movie "The Age of the Hobbit."

"Why don't I know." Garcia blurted out in shock.

Lin Ziyi didn't answer, just smiled.

Garcia quickly calmed down and found it tricky.

Now that the company has a share of "The Age of the Hobbit," it certainly can't cut back on the film's schedule.

There is no reason to reduce the film schedule of your own company, it is tantamount to giving money to others.

Garcia quickly figured out the pros and cons, and forced a smile.

"I understand the president, then I will reply to Fox Film and Television."

Garcia left the office.

"Heh." Lin Ziyi curled her lips and smiled.

All along, she was the one who was angry with these veterans, and now she was finally able to win the round.

This is just the beginning. Sooner or later, she will drive away the guys who are in the way, as well as those film and television companies that boycott her.

"Emperor Cinemas does not agree to increase the number of films?"

Upon receiving the news from Fox Film and Television, James frowned.

Scheduling has a great impact on a movie. Even if a movie has a great reputation, if the theaters don't schedule the movie, the audience won't be able to see the movie, and they still won't be able to make money.

Now that Emperor Cinemas is determined not to arrange films, there is nothing he can do about it.

This has already involved the struggle between theaters and film and television companies, and it is not something he can change as a director.

"Director James, why don't you take a look at this?"

At this time, the assistant Gina suddenly entered the room and opened a live broadcast room with her mobile phone.

"Welcome everyone to the Tonight Show. Today, we have invited the famous film critic Mr. Martin."

In the live broadcast room, a plump host in a suit gave an opening remark with an excited expression.

James knows about this program and it is relatively famous. Although it is not well known, many people know about it and its influence is not small.

Such a program unexpectedly invited the film critic Martin to participate.

James immediately raised his curiosity, took the assistant's mobile phone, and wanted to see what would happen next.

On the screen, the host was emotional and plausible.

"He is a famous film critic. He has been in the industry for five years, has written more than 400 film reviews, and has 55 fans."

"He was the first film critic to criticize the film The Hobbit, and he is the only film critic who continues to criticize the Hobbit."

"He is an Internet celebrity and a mentor in the hearts of many netizens."

"He's--Martin!!!"

Amidst the host's screams, Martin appeared and sat in a chair.
