This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 321 Close the door and release Xu Nan

In a conference room, a group of people are arguing with each other, you come and go.

"This is Cameron's movie, you understand, Cameron's movie."

"Even Cameron can't change the box office share."

"It's the sequel to Big Ship."

"That can't change the box office share."

"The sequel to Cameron Plus Ship."

"unacceptable."

In the president's office of Emperor Cinemas, Lin Ziyi slapped the table angrily when she saw Cameron's latest conditions.

50.00% box office share, Cameron's condition is 50.00% box office share.

That is to say, half and half of the movie box office theaters and producers.

Why.

Cameron is very famous and has a high status in the circle, so he proposed to increase the box office share, which is barely acceptable to the theaters
So, there was this negotiation.

This is Cameron. If it were another director, the theater would not even give him a chance to negotiate.

Lin Ziyi's bottom line is to reduce the box office share by 50.00%, that is, theaters and theaters have 40.00% of the box office share, and producers and distributors have [-]% of the box office.

As a result, Cameron cut it to 50.00%.

It was too exaggerated. Lin Ziyi could not accept this result no matter what.

"What do other theaters say?"

The executives negotiating with Emperor Cinemas frowned and said: "Several small theaters have already agreed to Cameron's conditions, but most theaters do not agree."

"The small theaters don't care about them. The key is us, AMC and Disney's three major theaters. As long as our three major theaters stick to the bottom line, Cameron will not be able to shake the sky."

Lin Ziyi asked: "Have you communicated with the other two theaters? What was their reaction?"

The executive said in a deep voice: "Their attitude is the same as ours, and they cannot accept it. I communicated with them in private and expressed that this condition is absolutely unacceptable."

"That's right." Lin Ziyi nodded: "When will theaters need to look at the face of the director, so what about Cameron, as long as we stick to the bottom line, how can he still turn the world upside down?"

In the United States, theaters are at the top of the food chain. They are instinctively arrogant and unwilling to be manipulated by the director, even if the director is Cameron.

In particular, this 50.00% share has really touched the bottom line of the theater.

The executive said: "Maybe Cameron's proposal of this condition is a negotiation strategy. We are still negotiating at present. As long as our three theaters stick to the bottom line, I believe he will compromise."

"Okay." Lin Ziyi nodded: "Continue to talk, no matter what, a 50.00% share is impossible."

"I understand." The executive nodded.

At about the same time, similar conversations took place in Disney theaters and AMC theaters.

A 50.00% box office share is impossible, even if you are the sequel of Cameron and Dafu, keep talking until we are satisfied.

I don't believe it, the dignified theaters can make you a director decide whether to make it or not.

The attitude of the three major theater chains is very firm. Although several small theater chains have compromised, the number of theaters owned by the small theater chains is not at the same level as the three major theater chains.

Emperor Cinemas, AMC Cinemas, Disney Cinemas, the three major theaters together account for 80.00% of the theaters. As long as the three major theaters insist on a tough attitude, Cameron has nothing to do.

Even if your movie is earth-shattering and classic, and the theaters don't show it, what can you do?

How can you make money on streaming media platforms, and watching movies on mobile phones is completely different from watching movies in theaters.

It is precisely because of this confidence that the three major theaters dare to maintain a tough attitude.

They firmly believe that as long as they are tough, Cameron will compromise.

But something happened that the theaters didn't expect. Cameron's attitude was even tougher than theirs, and he didn't mean to compromise at all.

He even posted the matter on the Internet.

When participating in a show once, Cameron directly sprayed on the show.

"My "Titanic 2" has been filmed, and I can guarantee that it will be a classic that surpasses the previous work, which can shock people from the bottom of their hearts and make people think about the impermanence of life and destiny."

The host asked from the side: "Well, when will it be released, and then I must bring my friends and family to watch it together."

Cameron immediately said: "It is very likely that this movie will not be released, because the theaters do not want to let this movie be released."

The host asked in surprise: "Why, this is the sequel of Da Chuan, why can't it be released."

Cameron said angrily: "Because they feel that the 50.00% box office share is too low. In the past, the theaters have always had a 50.00% box office share, and those of us who work hard to make movies, after being exploited by the theaters and distribution , the final box office is only 30.00% five."

"That's fair. We made the movie, but we get the least amount of money. It's not as good as a theater chain that just keeps collecting money."

"I just want to increase the box office share to 50.00%. What's wrong with me? Even if it's like this, the theaters still get more money than me."

After the show was broadcast, it immediately caused a huge response on the Internet.

The audience doesn't understand the twists and turns, they will only stand on the side they think is right.

Compared with theaters that have little right to speak, the audience naturally believes that Cameron, who is extremely famous, will naturally stand on his side.

Moreover, many viewers were eager to see Cameron's movie, and they were very angry when they heard that they could not watch it in theaters.

"I don't understand why theaters won't release this movie. It's a sequel to Dachuan."

"I want to see this movie and can't wait."

"The theater chain is really too much. Obviously, the movie is shot by the director, so the director should make more money."

"It would be a pity if such a classic movie could not be seen in theaters."

"Why are the theaters going so far, you should let this movie be released."

"This is the sequel to the big boat, even if you don't need money, you should let this movie be released."

Public opinion on the Internet turned in a direction that was not conducive to theaters.

Faced with this situation, the three major theaters were very angry.

Negotiations belong to negotiations, why should this matter be exposed on the Internet.

Also put pressure on us from public opinion, you think this is useful.

Looking at the public opinion on the Internet, Lin Ziyi's lungs exploded with anger.

She originally thought about giving Cameron a little face, and she couldn't do too much.

Even if the box office share is raised a little, it's nothing.

But now Cameron's behavior has really touched her bottom line.

She decided not to give this guy any face.

Not only is she not giving face, but she also wants to make trouble.

Lin Ziyi took out her mobile phone.

Close the door and let Xu Nan go.
