Actor: My Entertainment Era

On the 20th, the theater alliance did not sign the account split notice as requested by the Avengers.

In the afternoon of that day, China Film Digital announced that 70% of theaters had signed and agreed to the new bill sharing ratio.

This is something that China Film Digital bypassed the theater chain and negotiated with theaters one by one. The theater chains are brave enough to fight with the distributors, but the theaters are not afraid. They are really worried about being cut off from New Year supplies.

The theater chain didn't take this news seriously, and they were extremely resolute in making concessions on these two points.

The Avengers acted very understandingly about the theater's failure to sign the deal as scheduled and gave it another day.

On the evening of the 21st, 30 representatives from 61 theater chains gathered in Beijing to participate in a Lunar New Year movie viewing seminar.

At this time, the theater chain played a trick. China Film Digital bypassed the theater chain and negotiated with theaters alone, hoping to defeat the theater chain alliance one by one. The theater chain alliance came up with a way to deal with the other, and Zhao, the general manager of China Film Southern Shinkansen, Jun sent separate messages to Tan Hong from Xingmei and Wang Zhonglei from Huayi, inviting them to attend the seminar.

Tan Hong was so stubborn that he didn't go.

Wang Zhonglei went.

From the moment Wang Zhonglei agreed to go to the meeting, the publisher's Avengers team had disbanded.

Wang Zhonglei slapped the table with theater representatives at the scene: "Huayi invests 10 billion a year, and the annual profit is only 8000 million. If I compete with you for 2%, it will be 1000 million more. Why don't I care?"

Zhao Jun took last year's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" as an example: "Last year's "Thirteen Hairpins" required an increase in the film studio's share ratio, which aroused collective resentment among theaters and lost their support in scheduling films. In the end, they lost the box office competition. More."

Ye Ningze, President of Wanda Cinema Line, and Xini: "In addition to struggling with these two points, is there any win-win way?"

Facing representatives from several major theater chains, Wang Zhonglei smiled bitterly, "If you use this energy to fight against imported films, it will be more effective than with me."

The negotiations on the 21st did not seem to have made any substantial progress, but Wang Zhonglei's presence at the meeting at least showed that everyone was willing to sit down and talk.

However, during the day on the 22nd, the film bureau finally came forward.

The Film Funding Office issued a document that will return different proportions of special film funds based on the theater's share of the box office of domestic films throughout the year to ease the operating pressure of theaters.

However, regarding this new policy, many theater managers said that it was a bit "treating the symptoms rather than the root cause" and worried that box office stealing might occur.

The daily published an article and said at the end of the article: "There are also many practitioners who believe that the split ratio is just a 'small section'. With Hollywood blockbusters dominating the market and the market share of domestic films shrinking, instead of 'staring at each other's split ratio', it is better to think about How to win back audiences with better movies.”

This statement may seem fair, but in fact it throws all the dirty water on the producers. The theater chain alliance was very sensitive to the spirit of the above. Zhao Jun forwarded this article on Weibo, saying that he would learn the spirit of the article together with everyone.

On the morning of the 24th, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei flew to Bay Island to attend the Golden Horse Awards.

Strangely, Zhang Yuanjun saw Bernard's boss Yu Dong at the airport.

Theaters and distribution are at loggerheads. As one of the leaders of the alliance, if he doesn't stay in the capital to take charge of the overall situation, where will he go?

Yu Dong said he was going to attend the Golden Horse Awards.

Understand, he probably realized that he couldn't handle the theater, so he ran away from the center of the whirlpool in advance.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said nothing more.

How the theater chain and the distributor divide the accounts have no direct impact on how much he gets paid. When the two sides argue, the producers will say that actors' pay is skyrocketing, production costs are rising, and there is huge pressure to cover costs and make profits.

At noon, the group arrived at the official hotel designated for the Golden Horse Awards.

After a simple meal, Liu Yifei said she was going to take a nap. Zhang Yuanjun was going out to meet a few people and told Cindy to let Liu Yifei sleep for at most one hour: "Pull her up even if you pull her up."

"What if she's not awake yet?" Cindy asked.

"Just slap her twice, I approve." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

Cindy turned to her boss and said, "Did you hear that?"

Liu Yifei said: "I can sleep in bed? Am I a person who can sleep in bed?"

Zhang Yuanjun took a long breath from his nose, obviously didn't believe it, and left.

"Hey, what does he mean?" Liu Yifei asked Cindy. Cindy also let out a long sigh: "I'll come back in an hour. If you don't wake up, I will really beat you."

Zhang Yuanjun was invited to meet Chai Zhiping, the godmother of Wandao Entertainment, in a suite in the same hotel.

Zhang Yuanjun politely called her Teacher Chai. Chai Zhiping introduced several Bay Island filmmakers to him. Zhang Yuanjun greeted them one by one and finally introduced a young man: "This is Ke Zhendong, a new actor that our company is highly promoting."

"Hello, Teacher Zhang, my name is Ke Zhendong."

"Oh, hello, hello." Zhang Yuanjun responded.

"Look," Chai Zhiping said to Zhang Yuanjun after everyone sat down, "this young man of ours is not bad, he was born in 91."

"Well, that's good. He looks quite energetic."

"He starred in "Those Years", which became a hit last year."

"Really? I haven't watched it yet." Zhang Yuanjun was very "not giving face".

"It's okay. You're so busy, so it's normal that you haven't watched it." Chai Zhiping said with a smile, "Although he is a newcomer, he has good talent. I am very optimistic about his future development."

"With Teacher Chai's strong support, he will definitely be popular." Zhang Yuanjun guessed that Chai Zhiping wanted to promote Ke Zhendong to him.

"My praise is nothing. I want to find him a good teacher for a year or two. After all, he is not an acting major and his foundation is too weak. I'm afraid he won't be able to go far." Chai Zhiping was watching Zhang Yuanjun's reaction when she said this. .

"You should find a teacher and study hard." Zhang Yuanjun probably knew what Chai Zhiping wanted to do. "I know many excellent acting teachers. I can recommend them to you when I return to the capital."

Chai Zhiping knew that Zhang Yuanjun wanted to get through, so she simply said, "I want him to become your master."

"Worship me?" Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "I don't want to be a teacher anymore. If you want to learn acting, there are many training classes."

Chai Zhiping said: "The teachers in the training class have nothing to do with you."

"I don't know how to teach either." Man said that Zhang Yuanjun didn't want to bring in new people, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn't bring someone like Ke Zhendong.

Zhang Yuanjun knew that Chai Zhiping's so-called apprenticeship was not to let Ke Zhendong learn acting skills from him, but to take advantage of his resources.

Of course there is a price to pay. Another middle-aged man said: "The apprenticeship ceremony we prepared is very sincere..."

Zhang Yuanjun really listened to what he said. Bay Island filmmakers have no money, but they have good resources in other aspects.

Wandao is very influential in the Asian fashion circle, and many people from Wandao serve as executives of big-name international brands. Chai Zhiping promised to help Zhang Yuanjun obtain the qualification of spokesperson for 1-2 more top luxury brands.

In addition, there are also many people from the Bay Island among the senior executives of the three BAT companies. In all likelihood, Chai Zhiping knows them. She said that she would seek resources for Zhang Yuanjun from these executive friends.

The conditions offered by Chai Zhiping cannot but be said to be very generous.

But it was not enough to impress Zhang Yuanjun. He is now the global spokesperson of LV and his fashion resources are almost maxed out.

BAT’s publicity and public relations resources are indeed very attractive, but Weibo belongs to his eldest brother, he is a shareholder of Maoyan Films, and the rapidly rising iQiyi is the entrepreneurial project of former Weibo CEO Gong Yu. There are thousands of people between them. Inextricably linked.

He really doesn't need the resources of the three BAT families.

In addition, Chai Zhiping just wants to believe Zhang Yuanjun with just one mouth?

Can you get resources just by meeting executive friends? He also had dinner with the bosses of three BAT companies, so what?

At this time, the role of a smart assistant came into play. Xiao Zhao glanced at his phone and said, "Yifei asked you to come over."

Zhang Yuanjun stood up and said with a smile: "My wife called me, I have to go. I will consider what you said."

"Okay," Chai Zhiping said, "I'll wait to see you win the Best Actor Award."

"I'd like to lend you some good advice. Stay, stay."

Looking at Zhang Yuanjun's leaving figure, Chai's senior executive said: "Why would he not be willing to bring someone with him? The resources we have given are not enough."

"I've heard a long time ago that he doesn't like Wandao, and it seems to be true." Chai Zhiping is still reasonable, "Forget it, if he doesn't want us to do it ourselves, it just takes a little more effort." (End of Chapter)
