I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 76
What Lu Yiming has to do now is to immediately stop Lu Chen's further plans. The movie "A Chinese Journey to the West" can be shown in online cinemas, but this is the first and must be the last.

Lu Yiming has already predicted that the group of people from the Film Association may have already sharpened their swords. Lu Chen has mobilized too many people's interests and will definitely be targeted.

Nowadays, no one engages in online movie theaters, firstly because theater chains can maximize the profits of movies, and secondly because no one dares to take the lead, even Luying and Shimei, dare not take the lead.

Originally, theaters could earn about 50.00% of the profit while lying down, while the investor could only earn 40.00% of the profit at most. Lu Chen’s approach is tantamount to taking away all the profits except taxes and fees, directly taking away the theaters and The profits of other parties, who will do it?

Not only that, Lu Chen even swallowed the 5.00% film fund.

If you just want to use a movie to increase the popularity of your video website, without releasing it, not selling box office, and only giving it to members of your video broadcasting website to watch for free, people can say a few words at most, and it won’t make too much noise .

But Lu Chen's idea is to move the movie theater directly to the Internet, and sell tickets online in the future. This is too much, and it cuts off other people's money, and they are likely to fight you desperately.

Almost all film and television companies and movie theaters are conservatives, but Lu Chen is a radical, and it doesn't matter who you are.

Not only Lu Yiming was frightened by Lu Chen's operation, but even Shi Tian was so angry that he almost flew to Huacheng overnight to find Shi Yin.

Nowadays, Shimei and Luying have the most movie theater lines in first-tier cities in the country, which is true, but this is not all. They only occupy a part, and the other part is occupied by others, which affects the interests of Shimei. Mei Group can still be a little more polite, but if it affects the interests of others, others will not be polite to you.

Looking at the content on the phone, Shimei continued to drink tea, while Qin Qiuyue at the side kept comforting him.

Shi Tian gritted his teeth and said, "This Lu Chen, I'm afraid he still thinks he's smart!"

"If you dare to set up an online movie theater, you don't know how you died!"

Qin Qiuyue said comfortingly, "Honey, calm down, calm down, young people, it's always good to dare to challenge."

Hearing this, Shi Tian became even more angry.

"Qiu Yue, who are you speaking for!"

Qin Qiuyue smiled and said, "No one helped, but I think this Lu Chen is very interesting."

"Looking back at what Chenyin has done before, it can be seen that they have a good plan in their work. They first released songs to accumulate capital, then bought Chenguang Film and Television, and then set up an online movie theater. If Chenguang Film and Television can If they go public again, I believe they will definitely attract a lot of capital.”

Hearing this, Shi Tian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You mean they just want to attract capital, and they don't plan to really set up an online movie theater?"

Qin Qiuyue shook her head and said, "No one knows for sure, maybe they really want to do it, but whether they can do it depends on whether they have enough high-quality content resources."

"Weilan started to set up online movie theaters in foreign countries, but they finally compromised and joined the film association. Now most of their movies have to go to movie theaters."

Qin Qiuyue is not particularly worried about Chenyin's nonsense. After all, there are lessons learned from the past. Azure Culture's overseas online movie theaters have flourished back then, and once accounted for one-third of the sales of foreign movie markets. The result was because They filmed too much, made too many shoddy movies, which led to the loss of a large number of users. Coupled with the suppression of traditional film and television companies, they could not get high-quality content resources at all. Soon, Weilan Culture could not hold on, and finally had to compromise. Joined the Film Association.

There is no doubt that the power of traditional film and television companies is strong, and there is no possibility of breaking through easily.

Originally, the ticket price of other people’s movies was 40 yuan, but you set up an online movie theater and directly reduced the movie ticket to 20 yuan.

Moreover, if the day of reform comes, Shimei itself will have its own streaming website, and it will be easier than anyone else to transform.

Qin Qiuyue's attitude is different from Shi Tian's. She is more in a wait-and-see state. In her opinion, whether online movie theaters can be launched mainly depends on whether you have enough high-quality resources. Too much will only ruin your reputation.

Domestic high-quality content resources and artist resources are basically monopolized. Chenyin is just a new company. It may not be so easy for them to break through the blockade.

Shi Tian sighed and said, "Oh, forget it, let's wait and see what their Chenyin Company plans to do next."

……

Just as Lu Chen expected, Chenyin Company just announced that they would launch an online movie theater, and the Internet was instantly filled with all kinds of curses.

But to Lu Chen's surprise, when Shimei and Lu Ying heard that they were going to set up an online movie theater, they immediately lifted the blockade on Chenyin, and someone from Shengying also came, saying that they were willing to reduce the box office share.

Chenyin played too much this time and touched the interests of too many people, so they had to make concessions.

However, Lu Chen did not stop because of Shimei and Lu Ying's concessions. They still launched "A Chinese Journey to the West" as scheduled. Chenyin spent tens of millions to buy advertisements.

"A Chinese Journey to the West" was launched at [-]:[-] p.m. In order to see the effect of testing the water, the people of Chenguang Company stayed at the company and did not go back. Lu Chen and Shiyin did not go back either. This is a gamble. If you win the gamble, you can easily make money , repay the debt.

If they lose the bet, I'm afraid they will have a hard time in the future.

However, it seems that the result is not very satisfactory.

"A Chinese Journey to the West" was launched for an hour, and the number of paying people was only 30. Although it seems a lot, you must know that their ticket prices are halved, and online movies are different from theater movies. The box office of theater movies will be affected. The number of films scheduled in the cinema and the impact of the seats in the cinema, theater movies can increase the box office as the number of films increases, but anyone can click in online cinemas, if there are not many people paying at the beginning, it is very likely to prove your film Those 5 minutes of trying it out weren't engaging.

Seeing the fixed number of paying people on the display screen in the hall, everyone fell silent, the hall was suddenly silent, and Lu Chen's palms gradually began to sweat.

Is it...

Has it failed?

A little surprised, but also a little unwilling.

Is it a movie problem, or is it that this payment model is not popular with the people of this world?

Shi Yin on the side turned to look at Lu Chen. The number of people who paid had not moved for a few minutes, which meant that Lu Chen's plan might have failed. I wonder if this guy would feel bad.

At this time, Zhang Xiaozhi suddenly asked loudly: "Xiao Guo, is the display screen in the hall the same as before?"

At this time, a person answered in front of the computer not far away.

"It's still the same one. At that time, the finance said that the company had no money. If they didn't change it, they never changed it."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaozhi immediately said to Lu Chen: "Director Lu, there is something wrong with this display screen, it is easy to freeze, just go to the computer directly."

Hearing this, Lu Chen came back to his senses, went straight to a computer not far away, and entered the background to check the data.

After coming to the computer, a string of numbers in Lu Chen's pupils was growing rapidly.

Seeing the constantly flickering lights and shadows, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth, the stone in his heart was instantly let go, and he felt relieved.

Shi Yin also came over at this time, and after she glanced at the statistics on the computer, her whole brain paused.

The number of paying people has exceeded 300 million. It's only been more than an hour. Do you want to be so exaggerated?

She questioned: "Is there any problem with this data?"

Lu Chen turned to look at her and said, "If I don't have this data, I will feel that there is a problem."

"We took 2000 million to advertise on major Internet platforms, and this is the time when most people go online."

Lu Chen's initial positioning was to sell tickets, not to increase the number of users of Chenguang Film and Television, so people can buy tickets through payment software without registering an account. Said to be very friendly.

Seeing this, Lu Chen straightened up, shrugged his shoulders, and continued, "Okay, let's all go back, the cost of the movie has been recovered, so I don't worry about it."
