Lin Feng is here today to announce one thing-where "Second Entertainment" launches all movies, the national unified price is 20 yuan, group purchases can also enjoy 15% off, and members 30% off. If it is a movie adapted from a game, 50% off.

Why does Lin Feng do this? According to the current domestic movie ticket prices, Lin Feng did this and suffered a great loss. Generally speaking, in the first-tier cities of Beijing and Shanghai, a movie ticket is at least 50 yuan, while the second-tier cities, although slightly cheaper, are around 30-40 yuan, and those third-tier cities, and even township cities, have one movie ticket. The movie ticket price is at least 20 yuan. Even if it is the so-called half-price discount on Tuesday, it is also a discount on some movies with a small audience. The movies that are on the right now are never discounted.

Therefore, Lin Feng's doing this is undoubtedly a significant reduction in his movie box office income. This is obviously having trouble with money, which is too irrational! But Lin Feng insisted on doing so. Because during this time in the United States, Lin Feng fully felt the cheapness of American people watching a movie. In the United States, watching a movie only costs a few thousandths of their monthly salary, while in China it is equivalent to a few tenths. The gap is too big.

Therefore, Chinese talents would rather choose to watch a home theater with no effect at home than go to the cinema to enjoy the large-screen movie with outstanding audio-visual effects. This is not because Chinese audiences don't know how to appreciate, but because they don't have money. If you have money, and a movie ticket is less than a few dollars, do you think someone will choose to watch this pitiful pirated movie with a small screen at home! Obviously not!

Lin Feng wanted to give the Chinese audience such a benefit, so that they can go to the cinema to enjoy an audio-visual feast, and also seek benefits for those men and women in love. Of course, it is impossible for Lin Feng to launch a movie with a price of around 5 yuan. Not only will it not be able to recover the cost of the movie, it may be difficult to guarantee the recovery of the cost of each movie. Therefore, the 20 yuan standard is a price established after analyzing the national price level. Although it is a bit high compared to the expenditure of American people to watch movies, if the group purchase price and membership price are also included, then the consumption level of American people to watch movies is about the same.

As for what advantage does Lin Feng have? In the short term, there is indeed no benefit at all, and it can even be said that it will cause Lin Feng's financial crisis in a short period of time. If you take the price set by Lin Feng and add Lin Feng’s generous investment in a movie, you can say that every movie that Lin Feng makes will lose money, and you will lose a lot, unless all of them can As hot as the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

But obviously, this is absolutely impossible. Although Lin Feng has a lot of blockbuster movies in his mind now, the number is limited after all. What happens once these films are finished? What to do then? Will the price increase at that time? With the characteristics of Chinese people, once you are used to enjoying low-priced movie tickets, it is difficult to increase the price. That will provoke strong protests from the audience. I am afraid that the attendance rate will suffer an avalanche in the end.

What if this happens then? ——Shui Junyi looked at Lin Feng, who was full of energy.

"Mr. Shui, if you have any questions, please ask." Lin Feng glanced at Shui Junyi, who was full of questions, and said with a smile. There are some things that you can't say by yourself, and you need someone to help you say it. That will be more effective.

Shui Junyi sighed. He held his stomach for a while tonight, but he was worried that Lin Feng's sore spot would be poked, and he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he didn't want to say it, all was rotten in his stomach. At this moment, since Lin Feng asked him to speak, he was not welcome.

"Mr. Lin, I occasionally go to the cinema to watch a movie. A movie ticket is 50 yuan according to the current market price in Beijing, which is not cheap. And Mr. Lin promised only 20 yuan, then this promise is How many years? Five years, ten years or twenty years?" Shui Junyi said in one breath the questions that 300 million boys and girls in front of the TV wanted to ask.

For these boys and girls who are in their adolescence, the cinema is a place to go on a date. Dim lights, touching, nervous, or warm plots can make an amazing breakthrough in the relationship between a pair of boys and girls. It is a place where men and women in love must go. However, for adolescent boys and girls, most of them don't have much money, and some even use family money to fall in love. Many people in the movie theater feel shy in their pockets. But sometimes it is necessary for the public to fill their faces with fat, so they must go.

But often when you bite the bullet, you will choose to watch blockbuster movies, after all, you have to be worthy of today's fare. But often the ticket price of this blockbuster movie is extremely expensive. For example, the hero of 2002 sold a sky-high price of 100 yuan in Beijing. In 2004, to be honest, in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, movie tickets worth 50 yuan were usually those that were not too popular. Real blockbusters, such as The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, still sell for 80 yuan, or 100 yuan per piece. For two people, it is 200 yuan. It is normal to count the food, drink, carriage and horse expenses, and 300 yuan for a movie.

And if a movie ticket is only 20 yuan, it is quite a bargain. If two people watch it, it will save a little bit and it will cost 100 yuan. Compared to 300 yuan, this is a full two-thirds savings. That is the money they used to watch one movie, they can now watch three, that is three ambiguous and lingering nights.

But how long is Lin Feng's promise? How long can it last?

"Hehe, I just said that all the movies released by my company are listed and sold at this price. I don't want to make a lot of money by shooting a movie. My goal is to make all Chinese people enjoy it. Starting a movie, I can enjoy an audio-visual feast in the cinema." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Then what Mr. Lin meant, can I understand that as long as the'Second Entertainment' still exists, then this promise will always be valid!" Shui Junyi took a deep breath and asked.

Lin Feng is still young, only 24 years old this year. With Lin Feng's body and financial resources, it is conservatively estimated that there is no big problem in living to 80 years old if nothing happens. With Lin Feng's magic and current momentum, Shui Junyi has reason to believe that the "Second Entertainment" will not collapse before Lin Feng's death, so Lin Feng's promise will be valid for at least 56 years.

In 56 years, it can be said that most of the people who watched today's focus talk show couldn't wait for the day when Lin Feng's promise was dissipated. In a disguised way, Lin Feng's promise was forever.

The 56-year commitment, although not really forever, is already very admirable. Can he do it? ——Shui Junyi looked at Lin Feng with a confident face in front of him. Obviously, Lin Feng was imperative for this promise. However, there is a prerequisite for fulfilling this promise.

"Mr. Lin, I am very pleased that you are so generous, but I take the liberty to ask, the price of this movie is often set by the theaters in various places according to the local conditions. And the current situation of the local theaters I have investigated, such as Beijing's new Century Studios’ annual turnover is 20 million US dollars, but the profit is only 5%. If the ticket price drops to 20 yuan, group purchases and membership will be discounted. How can I maintain their profits? Will it cause you, Mr. Lin? Shouting the slogan of the 20 yuan fare, but there is no such thing as the theater's execution?" Shui Junyi asked a sharper question.

After a few minutes of brief exchanges just now, Shui Junyi found that Lin Feng was not as domineering as in the legend, nor was he as powerful and arrogant as he had shown before. On the contrary, Lin Feng is still relatively easy to talk, and he is also relatively easy-going. Therefore, Shui Junyi has also restored the sharp remarks and keen insight of the past, which has penetrated the core of the problem.

Lin Feng smiled.

"That's a good question!" Lin Feng laughed. This is what Lin Feng has been waiting for.

When Lin Feng decided to set the price of 20 yuan, he took into account that many theaters across the country may not set the ticket price according to such a low price. Although this time the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy, the national theaters gave Lin Feng a lot of face (of course, Lin Feng gave up a lot of profits), and the national unified ticket price was 10 yuan (half price for game adaptation movies), but for a long time, Lin Feng did not believe this. The cinema will continue to sell its own face. Especially in the case of some blockbuster movies, these movie theaters will still maintain a low price of 20 yuan, and will not increase the price without authorization. After all, that is the best time to make money, 20 yuan is too cheap.

Although Lin Feng believes that these bosses know that the fare is lower, which can attract more popularity. It will not fall into the vicious circle of "the higher the ticket price, the fewer the audience, the smaller the audience, the higher the ticket price". However, many theater owners seem to have their brains trapped by the door. They would rather be cheap and lose money than see the door in the movie theater beating, rather than lower the ticket price.

Therefore, Lin Feng is here today for these movie theaters—the owners.

"Here, I want to ask for a favor from theater owners across the country. I hope that everyone can take a long-term view and lower the ticket price to keep it low. After all, the ticket price is closer to the people, and the audience will be a little bit more. I think No boss would want to see crowds of movie theaters. Although you can earn less at a time, I believe that as long as the movie theaters can be full every day, the movie theaters can still make money. So, here I am asking all the bosses on behalf of hundreds of millions of movie lovers. Personal feelings." Lin Feng said with a fist.

Suddenly, all the viewers in front of the TV were stunned. Lin Feng, the world's richest man actually interceded for them, which is really touching. If the ticket price of 20 yuan is really available, group purchases and members can enjoy discounts, then I am afraid that all viewers across the country will thank Lin Feng.

But will these movie theater owners sell Lin Feng's favor?

cut! You are talking cool words here, earning fame and popularity, but making us lose money. How can there be such a good thing in this world! ——Many movie theater owners said disdainfully.

Originally the premiere of The Legend of the Sword and the Fairy, many bosses were really looking at Lin Feng's face, and only agreed to a national fare of 10 yuan. I thought to myself, this game-based movie has not always had a good reputation, and there are very few movies that sell well. Therefore, the bosses all over the world are thinking about selling Lin Feng's face, and they agree with the attitude of the world's richest man to agree to the national uniform price of 10 yuan. It can be said that a movie ticket sells for 10 yuan, which is really not very profitable. Of course, it's not that it doesn't make money, but the profit is too thin.

Afterwards, the popularity of the Legend of Sword and Fairy was beyond the expectations of all movie theater owners. They wanted to increase the price, but due to the contract signed with Lin Feng, they did not increase the price. But if according to what Lin Feng said, every movie has such a price, then they are still a fart. In particular, they have recently begun to introduce Lam Fung’s "Second Entertainment" films shot in the United States, such as Chainsaw Cry, Too Bad, and other films that have earned good box office revenue in the United States, but if they are introduced, one Tickets can only be sold for 20. If they encounter group purchases and other discounts, what do they make?

Therefore, most movie theater owners are quite disdainful of Lin Feng's request. Therefore, most movie theater owners are quite disdainful of Lin Feng.

Isn't it the richest man in the world? What's so great? I can also become the richest man in the world if I have the opportunity to be able to pick up and drop off 12 Hongqi cars! ——Some bosses are yy in the office. Of course, this kind of yy can only talk to the charming female secretary in an unmanned office, if they are really outside, they can't say it.

Lin Feng naturally knew that these bosses would not sell their favors, but Lin Feng didn't care about it either. Originally, Lin Feng didn't intend to rely on his own words, so that these people would sell their own face, not to mention that Lin Feng didn't want them to sell their face at all. All Lin Feng needed was an excuse. An excuse to make yourself go crazy.

Lin Feng furious? What is Lin Feng going to make? ——Acquisition of movie theaters.

In fact, in Lin Feng's view, China's movie market is quite large, and it is absolutely no less than the size of the US movie market. It's just that at present, the market has not been well developed. Some movie theater owners who are eager for quick success have broken this market, and they are not doing well in introducing movies. In particular, many movies do not need to be translated into Mandarin. For some Hollywood commercial blockbusters, most of the audience watching this blockbuster are young people. For them, it is easier for them to accept the original English dubbing rather than the awkward Mandarin dubbing. Sometimes, a crappy dubbing will make viewers choose to watch the pirated English version at home rather than the original Mandarin version.

Therefore, Lin Feng believes that as long as it develops well, China's film market can definitely compete with the United States. Therefore, Lin Feng wants to buy Chinese movie theaters just like buying more than half of the movie screens in the United States, and build Chinese Hollywood, which can compete with American Hollywood. But now the price will be very high. So Lin Feng needs to use a meter!

Lin Feng is now waiting for these movie theater owners to raise their prices privately, and there is a fierce attack from the audience.
