Emperor Superstar Cultivation System

Chapter 217: The Brewing Storm

"Old Feng!" Wang Zhonglei said softly, frowning at him, Feng Xiaogang, who was not shy about talking, snorted coldly, turned his head and did not speak.

Han Sanping and Lin Xiao looked at the audience calmly.

Bona's minister bowed his head to drink tea, and did not express any opinion on the arrival of the cinema.The head of Xiying frowned slightly, his eyes turned cold.As long as it is related to the movie, everything is suddenly silent, and a fool can see the anger in his heart.

Who can not be angry?After joining the WTO, the theater chains were no longer in the hands of the state. During the period from 01 to November 06, countless open and secret confrontations formed these five theater chains that dominated China. Perhaps the major provincial capitals still have some of their own. theaters, but compared with the five major theaters, they are called theaters at best.And after several years of fighting, the five major theater chains have secured their thrones and formed an alliance. In turn, they bit the throat of China Film Group, which let go of the theater chains, and bowed their heads in front of each other time and time again. The profits of millions and tens of millions are like this. Which company doesn't hate to let go of one film after another?You have to have a smile on your face.

When this kind of producers get together, who will be happy when the upstream theater chain suddenly comes with a high profile?

"Why are you all so quiet?" Just when everyone was silent, an old voice came over and said with a smile, "I heard that Chibi is going to be launched, and we want to fight for the right to show it. Mr. Lin will not welcome it. ?”

He is very clear about the Taoism in the circle, and he directly pointed at Lin Xiaowen, because he knew who had the distribution rights.

"Why don't you welcome it?" Feng Xiaogang sneered, "I won't let go of this chance to suck blood? How many photos are you going to take? Like mine last year?"

The relationship between distribution and theaters is very delicate. One moment the two can tear each other apart, and the next moment they will gather together to have a good drink and talk.Just like an old couple who quarreled at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, if it didn't involve the fundamentals, no matter how hard the quarrel was, they wouldn't break up.But if other companies think that they have a chance when they quarrel with the theaters, they are guaranteed to be smashed.When Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were negotiating with these major theaters, they had turned over the table, and now they still wear the same pair of pants.Representatives of several major theater chains would not take Feng Xiaogang's sour remarks to heart.

"Everywhere, there is a ratio here. It has been implemented for so many years, and there have been no problems. As market defenders, we still hope to follow this ratio." Qiu Sheng, the representative of the Pacific Ocean, said with a smile, "We not only welcome Director Wu's Movies, Director Feng's movies, don't we still welcome them?"

No one answered his words, the word "love and kill each other" is really suitable for distribution and theater in the Chinese film and television industry.

The scene was very cold, and even Cai Yinong, who had never been involved in movies, felt something was wrong, so soon, only Lin Xiao, Han Sanping and several representatives were left smiling.

"It's noon, let's have a meal together." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Forget it, we don't drink ketchup, we don't have enough appetite." Feng Xiaogang twitched his mouth and said to Lin Xiao with a playful smile, "I have something to say, wait until you finish eating."

Qiu Sheng, Gao Shanyuan, Bai Su, the three theater representatives were not angry at all, watching Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei walk out just like that.

"Where's Minister Wang?" Lin Xiao turned to Bona's minister.

"I still have something to do. I'll make an appointment with Mr. Lin in the afternoon." Minister Wang is a fat middle-aged man who looks burly and energetic. He put down his teacup and said, "I ate too much in the morning, and I can't eat at noon."

Lin Xiao didn't expect that several major companies would not hide their dislike of theater chains at all, but unfortunately, no one dared to really jump out to fight the horse.

"Hehe, it seems that everyone has some misunderstandings." Bai Su laughed, his old hands with veins exposed, and tapped on the table lightly, "Forget it, those who shouldn't have left, and those of us who should have left will be left behind in Cenglin." Mr. Lin won't mind if you have a meal?"

Cai Yinong hesitated for a long time, but he didn't leave. He is also a smart person in this situation, so he naturally understood that the big companies and theaters must be undercurrents. But after thinking about it, it's none of their business for me to make my TV series, and I don't want to let it go This kind of opportunity, followed several people into the restaurant.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, before I knew it, only Lin Xiao and the three representatives were left on the table.

"Mr. Lin." Gao Shanyuan, who still had some straight eyes just now, and there is no sign of alcohol at the moment, said with a smile, "Half a year has passed since the press conference, and Chibi will start up soon. I think Mr. Lin is It’s time to think about it for later.”

Coming to the topic, Lin Xiao didn't drink much at first, so he put down the glass of drink and said with a smile, "What does Mr. Gao mean?"

"This film will be successful, and the influence of the country is unquestionable. In order to avoid aesthetic fatigue, I believe that the China Film Department will start to promote it two months before the film is finished. However, no matter how good the publicity is, it needs audiences to see it. "Bai Su sighed and said, "There are few good theaters in China now, and the most powerful ones are sitting in front of you. Shouldn't Mr. Lin also give us a reassurance?"

Lin Xiao smiled, "I have already promised Pacific Ocean."

Unexpectedly, Bai Su and Gao Shanyuan were not angry at all, looked at Qiu Sheng and said, "Fifty to fifty, Vice Chairman Qiu has already told us. But... Mr. Lin, look, Director Zhang Da is the highest we give Feedback is this, we went back and studied it..."

"You think it's too high?" The anger in Lin Xiao's heart has turned into a demon. If he can vent, he doesn't mind tearing the people in front of him to pieces!

They don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, they don't want to burn incense, but want to demolish the Three Treasures Palace!

One billion investment!If it wasn't for the five-star evaluation given by the system, if it wasn't for knowing that imax+3d will be rampant in later generations, if it wasn't for the precedent of Avatar in 09, who would vote so big?This is a shot in the arm for the Chinese film industry that has been sluggish. However, now others don't care what this action can bring, and they don't care whether the investment money can be returned. It is already so much lower than the international practice, and they still think it is not enough!

Bai Su waved his hand apologetically, "We can't say anything wrong with Vice Chairman Qiu's decision at the beginning, but you also know that the increase in quotas should never be put on paper, it's all a matter of verbal promises, The specific policy still needs to be studied. After our discussion, we feel that the ratio of 50% is really too high.”

Lin Xiao looked at these three people quietly, he could imagine that his status would be threatened like this, what would happen to other companies?Does anyone dare to make a movie like this?

Seeing that he was silent, Gao Shanyuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

His voice was cold, like a rusty knife being sharpened on iron, hoarse and harsh.

"We've done some research. At the beginning, Huapi and Assembled were all connected by theaters as soon as you made a film. But! Mr. Lin, Huapi was just established at Wanda, and they urgently need movies to boost box office. That's why you are here. Fortunately, yes, it is luck, you should not think that you can do whatever you want, China is a society ruled by law, and no matter how rampant criminals are, there will be nemesis."

He lifted the collar of his suit and narrowed his eyes slightly, "And the five major cinema chains are the defenders of market rules. Mr. Lin, we haven't approached you in the past because you haven't been involved in distribution. Now that you have set in, you have to negotiate with us." Conversation. Assembling number, there is a big person escorting you, and we can’t deny the low ratio. But is the big person still looking at you now? He is busy with everything, I’m afraid he has forgotten you long ago? "

"When you enter the distribution circle, you must abide by the rules. The five major theater chains dominate almost all theaters in China from south to north, from east to west." He showed his white teeth, "I think Mr. Lin doesn't want Can’t get back the investment? You’ve been boycotted by the five major theaters, and you’re afraid you’ll have nowhere to show it. Are you counting on the New Film Federation? They can show it for you for a month, or even two months. But it’s limited to the Beijing area and its surrounding areas. Jiuding, you only choose one, Mr. Lin, if you make this choice, it is undoubtedly the most stupid choice."

Lin Xiao looked at the three of them coldly, one as a scapegoat, one as a bad face, and the other as a red face, did he really treat himself like a child?

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just stating the facts." Gao Shanyuan said lightly, "The economy is the most important thing in any country. Mr. Lin thinks twice. After China's accession to the WTO, it is no longer the era when China Film Group can cover the sky with one hand. Times have changed, and rigid thinking also needs to be changed. 47% The ratio is 53%, which is the common answer of our three theater chains.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Mr. Lin, don't rush to refuse, I think you should be wondering why Huana Wanda didn't show up?"

"In the past few years, Wanda has been the fastest growing one. They have strong strength and are entrenched in Dalian. They have gradually eroded the market of New Film Federation. The influence of New Film Federation is lower than you imagine. Why didn't they come? People? It’s very simple, Warner Wanda, Warner was before Wanda, we don’t need to say more about the grievances and grievances between you and Warner? I guarantee that Chibi Warner has issued a ban on Wanda. Don’t they know what a billion investment represents? But They still chose Warner. Minister Zhang Yongliang, who Baba followed you, is now presiding over this matter. Not only will it not be released, I heard that this year's Harry Potter has adjusted its schedule, and there is also superstar Will Smith's I am a legend, 'I can't think of what else they can do other than sniping Chibi. Are you really determined to be attacked by two Warner blockbusters and reject the kindness of the three major theaters in China?"

"The last point, this is just Wanda's sniping." He said meaningfully, "This is not what the three major theaters mean."

"Smart people are smart because they know how to choose." Gao Shanyuan smiled, as if everything was under control. "Mr. Lin, it's time for you to choose."

"Should we agree to our conditions, or face the encirclement and suppression of two blockbuster films and fail in domestic production?"
