Chapter 377 Chen Heizi! Too much bullying!

China Film Distribution Company
Chen Shiping sat in the conference room and watched the noisy crowd, his heart calm.

These people are just a mob.

They can only make noise here. If you ask them to do something real, they don't have the ability to do it.

Although these representatives of theater chains seem to be cheering loudly, they actually don't have much bargaining chips.

The higher-ups support Chen Shiping's theater chain reform, which means they have already grasped their lifeline at the source.

There is no doubt that the future belongs to the era of digital movies.

The only company in China that can provide digital projection upgrades is China Film.

If cinema companies do not want to be eliminated by the market, they must listen to China Film.

They wanted to break free from the control of China Film Group, but it was simply impossible.

Unless the cinema chain has the money to upgrade its digital projection equipment, it has no choice but to accept China Film.

The cinema market has not yet been fully liberalized. According to the original time and space development, the in-depth reform of the cinema chain has been put on the agenda and will be implemented soon.

An important one is to allow private capital to enter.

However, in order to cooperate with Chen Shiping's plan, the bureau has temporarily shelved this resolution.

Cinema companies are demanding reforms and accepting private capital for the sake of money.

But China Film Group can now provide them with financial and equipment support, so they have no reason to object.

They can only resist secretly and applaud and support on the surface.

The reason why China is making so much noise is because the cinema chains want to renegotiate with China Film.

It's just that they think too highly of themselves.

The meeting room was very noisy at this time. Assistant Li from Shanghai Film Studio was watching all this with a smile.

He was very proud of himself and felt that he had created the current situation by himself.

This caused a lot of trouble for Chen Shiping.

He just wanted to see Chen Shiping make a fool of himself.

In his analysis, Chen Shiping must now either back down and scrap the so-called proposal for standards for imported films.

Or they can push it through forcefully and offend all the theater representatives.

No matter what the result is, it is good news for Shanghai Film Group.

China Film’s distribution capabilities are so strong that Shanghai Film cannot compare at all.

If the relationship between China Film and cinema chains becomes bad, then Shanghai Film will have the opportunity to surpass China Film in distribution.

This will allow Shanghai Film Group to gain access to a larger mainland market, and it will also give it the opportunity to continue negotiating with Hollywood companies!

Strength is the standard for negotiation.

The joint venture must be established. Shanghai Film Group does not have that much capital now and must rely on foreign capital to compete with China Film Group.

The domestic film market now has only one super company and no other studio can compare with China Film.

China Film Group’s model is truly one era ahead of them.

In the view of Shanghai Film Group, if China Film Group continues to dominate the market, other domestic film companies will soon be swept into the dustbin of history.

Even a group like Shanghai Film Group has no chance of making a comeback.

The current film market is not like it was in the past, where a good script could capture the market.

The film industry is very important. The reason why Hollywood is so popular all over the world is because its film technology is very mature.

It can come from the continuous production of blockbusters and exploration of various types of films.

In fact, people in Shanghai Film Studios could not understand why Chen Shiping was so resistant to Hollywood and the entry of foreign capital.

Basically all domestic industries have developed through joint ventures or by introducing foreign technology.

Why doesn't it work in the film industry?
Why was Chen Shiping so resistant?

Shanghai Film Group also wants to use foreign technology and funds to develop and strengthen itself.

Wait until you become strong enough and then kick them out.

There is actually nothing wrong with this idea, but they overlooked one point.

The media industry is different from ordinary industries. The media industry's voice and influence are unmatched by other industries.

What's more, China Film Group no longer needs to rely on Hollywood's technology and funds.

It is possible to be completely self-sufficient and lead everyone to success.

Then there is no need to open up the market and allow others to come in and do whatever they want.

The choice of upper shadow is simply because one cannot lose face and does not want to be lower than the middle shadow.

In fact, they have more benefits from cooperating with China Film.

Unfortunately, Shanghai Film Studio rejected Chen Shiping’s extended hand of cooperation several times in a row.

They want both face and substance.

That’s a good idea.

Chen Shiping was really annoyed this time. Whenever there was a problem, Shanghai Film Studio would jump out to make trouble.

Chen Shiping didn't want to think too much now. He just wanted to solve these problems quickly and completely cut off the temptations and tricks of those Hollywood companies.

Then concentrate on getting rid of the upper shadow.

It made him fall from being the second-rate film studio in the country to being an obscure studio like the last-rate ones.

Let them have no chance to turn things around in the next 10 years!
They were beaten so hard that they had to admit defeat and actively come to China Film for cooperation!

At this time, the people in the conference room were still arguing. Han Laosan tried to stop them several times but failed, so he turned his eyes to Chen Shiping.

Chen Shiping looked around, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then put it heavily on the table.

Bang!
The entire conference room fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

Chen Shiping sat there without saying anything. After more than ten seconds, when everyone was feeling a little depressed, he finally spoke:
“I have heard everyone’s demands.

The standard has been proposed for so many days but there has been no progress yet. I will not elaborate on where the problem lies.

I haven’t paid attention to things here these days. I’ve been busy with the establishment of Guangying Group and the reform and upgrading of the cinema chain.”

Everyone in the conference room wondered why he said this.

Today we are going to talk about the issues of Hua Xia’s issuance!

The standards for imported films must be revoked!
To keep pace with the international standards, there is no need to set so many rules!

This goes against the laws of market development!
It is a regression of the film market!

It was you, Chen Shiping, who gave the wrong orders!

The people in the theater chain have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

Chen Shiping had already promised them about the cinema chain reform long before China Film Distribution was established.

They have already divided up the one hundred reform pilot projects.

I'm not worried at all that Chen Shiping would go back on his word.

The people at the theater chain didn’t think too much about it, but Assistant Li from Shanghai Film Studio felt something was wrong.

The establishment of Guangzhou Film Group is arguably the biggest news in the media industry.

For such an important matter, Chen Shiping participated in the formulation of the plan?
His superiors really trust him!

Assistant Li didn't think much about this, but was more thinking about what Chen Shiping mentioned about the theater chain upgrade.

Didn’t we talk about this last year? Why are we talking about it again this year?

"We can't just spend money again, can we?" Assistant Li muttered quietly.

Chen Shiping took a sip of tea and looked at the people who were talking. He coughed lightly and continued:
“The latest list of cinema reform and upgrades has been released.

The pilot program has increased from 100 cinema chains to 200!
The expected investment has also doubled.

The requirements for projection equipment for future movies will become increasingly higher, and digital projection will be the only choice for future blockbusters! Whether it is China Film or Hollywood movies, the requirements for projection equipment will become more and more expensive! "

Chen Shiping paused to give the people from the theater company some time to think.

But I won’t give you much, so just let them be confused.

“The task of reforming and upgrading cinema chains is urgent. If we don’t upgrade now, we will inevitably be eliminated in the future!
Blockbuster movies will no longer choose to cooperate with theater companies that do not meet the screening standards!
I wonder what the representatives of the theater companies would like to say about this?"

Chen Shiping slowly looked around and finally set his sights on Assistant Li.

His eyes were full of disdain.

I've been away for so many days, giving you the opportunity to defeat me, and you've been holding it in for a long time and ended up with this?

His methods are just average and he is reluctant to spend money.

Oh, forget they have no money!
When Chen Shiping finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed slightly as they understood the meaning of his words.

China Film Group has allocated more funds to support cinema chain reform, and used the money to plug the original gap through digital cinema chain reform.

If anyone jumps out to oppose at this time.

Then their names will definitely no longer appear in the pilot list for cinema upgrades.

This is a naked threat!

Of course, theater chains can also choose to ignore Chen Shiping.

I won’t upgrade it. Can’t I still play movies in my current situation?
What can you, China Film Group, do to me?
But this is very stupid behavior.

Because once they choose to go against China Film, they will withdraw from this theater chain upgrade.

So in the future, imported films or films produced by China Film will not continue to be shown in their theaters.

At that time, they will be even more short of money and will not be able to upgrade their cinemas on their own.

At that time, bankruptcy becomes their only option.

Representatives from cinema companies in various provinces all had mixed feelings at this time.

Did not expect ah.

After going around in circles, they found that they still had no way to break free from Chen Shiping's control and the influence of China Film Group on them.

They had been arguing here for so many days, but now that Chen Shiping had used this killer move, everything became a joke.

It's like being a monkey for people to watch for dozens of days.

Assistant Li of Shanghai Film Group's face also changed after hearing Chen Shiping's words.

I didn’t expect China Film Group to be so bold as to double the pilot program for theater chain upgrades!
This is using real money to force the representatives of these theater companies to surrender.

This is really too inhumane!

Many representatives of theater chains were somewhat angry.

China Film Group actually has the courage and ability to make them take sides.

So why not do this in the first place?
Do we have to let them quarrel here like monkeys all day long before we come up with this plan?

It's so insulting. I really want to fight with Chen Heizi!

To be honest, it was an insult by Chen Shiping on purpose.

One is to make Shanghai Film Group stop wasting its time here, and the other is to teach these theaters a lesson!
If you want to take sides, you must be aware of it!

Before Hua Xia Distribution was established, everyone was obedient and obedient.

After Hua Xia Distribution was established, it betrayed others for the sake of a little profit?

Grandma has legs!
Their stance is so unsteady. If we don’t teach them a lesson, what’s the point of Chen Shiping, the CEO of China Film Group?

Teach these people a lesson and let them remember it!

In the future, stand firm in your position, follow China Film Group, and follow Chen Shiping!
If you continue flirting with the Shanghai film director, don’t blame Chen Shiping for being rude!

The representatives of the theater chain were all smart people and they understood what was going on at this point.

China Film Corporation is using both carrot and stick.

First I hit you with a stick, then I give you a carrot, and then I make you work honestly.

At this time, the representative of Beijing Cinema Line came out with a smile to smooth things over and asked:
"Mr. Chen, can the ticket prices for the upgraded theaters be increased? Movie ticket prices haven't increased in several years."

Speaking of this, representatives from various theater chains became excited.

Since China Distribution can't get any advantage, it will make up for it in digital screenings.

The ticket price must be at least forty or more!

One ticket is equal to two or even three tickets in the past, so the profit is greater.

Why haven’t they had the money to upgrade their cinema chains over the years? It’s because they’ve held back on ticket prices and refused to raise them.

There is no reason to control ticket prices from rising now.

Seeing that they were becoming interested, Chen Shiping did not give them an answer.

After a two-minute break while drinking tea, he spoke up, "Let's first discuss the issue of setting standards for imported films. This matter has been delayed for too long."

Han Lao San also said immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, the priority now is to import films. There is no rush for the theater chain reform. We can talk about it later."

Representatives from major cinema companies raised their hands to express their opinions.

"I think this plan is great! There's absolutely no problem with it!"

"That's right, many Hollywood movies have distorted values ​​and are not suitable for import!"

"Hollywood is preventing our films from being released in Europe and America, and we can't just go and curry favor with them!"

Just a second ago they were saying that this standard was not acceptable and that the market should be liberalized.

Their change of stance now is really admirable, as if they were not the ones who raised the objection just now.

Representatives from several movie studios couldn't help but laugh.

Look at Chen Shiping's eyes, they are full of admiration. Mr. Chen is really awesome.

If you don’t make a move, it’s fine. But if you do, it’ll be a fatal strike.

Chen Shiping sighed in his heart.

Look, these people clearly know everything, but they still deny it for the sake of their own interests.

Now that there is no time to waste, everyone is starting to act in a high-sounding manner.

What a goddamn fuck!

Chen Shiping was furious. He turned to look at Assistant Li who was standing on the stage and said, "Assistant Li, do you have any opinions? I remember you were strongly against it before."

Representatives from all the major cinema companies were silent, as if it had nothing to do with them.

During this period, people from Shanghai Film Studio were organizing people at all levels to oppose the standard plan for imported films.

We were comrades-in-arms before, but now, sorry, we are no longer comrades-in-arms!
All major cinema chains are determined to follow China Film and President Chen!

Assistant Li had a grim look on his face. From what Chen Shiping had just said about the theater chain reform, he knew that this time his work had been in vain.

The key is that it has become a joke in the eyes of others!

Under Chen Shiping's oppressive gaze, he lowered his head and said, "Mr. Chen has a far-sighted vision. I was too one-sided before. I have no objection to the formulation of the introduction film plan!"

Since you have lost, just admit defeat and bow your head!

Otherwise, given Chen Heizi's personality, it would definitely embarrass him even more.

I've said the nice things now, you can't still make things difficult for me!

I'm just an employee, please let me go!

But Chen Shiping was being petty today!

"Assistant Li, please tell me what's good about this plan. You are a top student and you speak well. Please say more."

Assistant Li: “.” You still have to keep flattering me, right?

Chen Heizi! You are going too far!
