Chapter 805: The Man Behind the Pot
Fenghua Cinema's method of stealing the box office is very clumsy, that is, all the movie tickets for watching these two popular movies in Fenghua Cinema are typed as "Platinum Age" when the tickets are issued, and then the ticket seller changes the name of "Platinum Age" to the name of the movie actually screened, and the box office of these two movies is included in the name of "Platinum Age".
The distributors of the two films that were stolen at the box office immediately contacted the lawyer, and then asked the undercover people sent to Fenghua Cinema to collect hundreds of movie tickets that they wore according to the lawyer's requirements, and recorded the whole process of negotiating with the ticket seller after the customer found that the title was wrong when he took the ticket, and fixed the evidence of their box office theft.
On the grounds that these two movies have been screened for more than a month, they claim that they only sell membership tickets for these two films, and the membership tickets are the same as the normal ticket price of the movie, but the movie tickets only hit the theater number, not the title, so that they can arbitrarily count the box office of these two movies into the films they want to give.
Under the guidance of the lawyer, the two distributors who were stolen from the box office simply found hundreds of people to watch the two movies that day, and everyone repeatedly confirmed with the ticket office when they got the tickets: this kind of movie ticket without a title is to see a certain movie, and the ticket seller has to explain to everyone over and over again, repeating the same words hundreds of times, and saying it dryly.
Some "audiences" even went to the bottom of the question: Why don't the full-priced tickets have a title? The conductor was bored by the question, and simply said that this was the leader's instructions!
After doing a solid job of these front-end evidence, the distributor got the number of screenings and box office revenue comparison tables of the films released in the backstage of the cinema on the same day, and the combination of the two was enough to prove that the two cinemas had stolen the box office to death, and the distributors of the two films contacted Huaxia News Network and the Beijing News Network to disclose to the outside world the shameless behavior of the producer of "Platinum Age" and the two cinemas joining forces to steal the box office!
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and an earthquake first occurred in the film circle, and which director and producer who did not hate this matter with all their hearts? The Directors Association and the Filmmakers Association were the first to speak out, openly condemning this cancer in the industry, and demanding that the directors and filmmakers in the industry resist this kind of stealing.
The celebrity directors have forwarded the news, clearly expressing their support for the decision of the Filmmakers Association, and netizens only then knew that the cinema did this to steal the box office!, those viewers who have experienced the same thing, have commented and reported which other cinemas have had similar behaviors, making the heat of this scandal too high and too high.
Netizens spontaneously ran to Shen Feng and Liu Lili's Weibo, laughing at them for being thieves in the entertainment industry, and they relied on crooked ways to get mixed in the circle!
Shen Feng really felt that he was too wronged, in order to complete the gambling agreement, he had no choice but to make this self-destructive movie with Liu Lili, which was unlucky enough, how could he carry this black pot again? What does the later release have to do with him?
So after two hours of fermentation in this scandal, he first forwarded the condemnation and proposal of the Filmmakers Association, and then solemnly stated:
In October last year, the producer of "Silver Age" came to me and asked me to play the leading role in this movie, I read the script and felt that the plot was not bad, so I took over the play.
After filming "Silver Age", I made another TV series, and I was preparing for a new project, I was very busy, I didn't know about the later publicity of "Silver Age", the public can look at the publicity before the release of "Silver Age", I have not participated from beginning to end!
So the theft of the box office in "Silver Age" has nothing to do with me! I myself hate this kind of box office stealing, as an actor, I can admit the failure of my character creation, but I can't bear the responsibility that I shouldn't have to bear!
As soon as his statement came out, he was surprisingly not attacked by netizens again, but won him a lot of sympathy, and many of his fans left messages saying, We believe in you, with your fame, it doesn't have to be like this. Some passers-by who have watched the movie even commented: In "Silver Age", Shen Feng's performance is not bad!
But Liu Lili's film and television production company didn't dare to speak out, they were the producers of "Silver Age", and stealing the box office was originally their plan to increase the box office.
When Brother Hong heard about this, he pondered for a while and said, "Li Li, if you do this kind of thing in the future, remember to discuss it with me, this time I will take care of it for you first, but I won't take it as an example!"
Brother Hong hung up Liu Lili's phone and immediately contacted the boss of Fenghua Cinema, the boss of Fenghua Cinema listened to his name, and immediately respectfully asked him for instructions, and when he heard that the cinema would carry this black pot for the producer, he didn't dare to disobey for a while, but he put forward it in a hurry, if something like this happened, the future development of the cinema would be difficult, and he wanted to ask Brother Hong to help him find a buyer and sell this cinema as soon as possible!
Brother Hong immediately agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you find a suitable buyer, and then give you a satisfactory purchase price." ”
After getting Fenghua's promise, Brother Hong contacted the boss of Longfei Cinema again, and the boss of Longfei Cinema was discussing countermeasures with the boss of Fenghua, and when he saw Brother Hong speaking for the producer, he didn't dare to say anything, so he also put forward the same conditions as Fenghua, and Brother Hong responded.
Brother Hong is the boss of the cultural circle in the Beijing circle, the bosses of the two cinemas have heard of his prestige early on, he is a person with great energy and has always done what he says, what he explains, if you anger him, he will turn his face, you just wait for his thunderous anger!
The two studios did not dare to delay, and immediately convened the public relations department to study the wording, and within an hour after Brother Hong's explanation, they issued a public statement on several major websites together, taking all the responsibility for this matter:
Because the "Silver Age" gives the cinema a higher proportion of dividends, the cinema has been fascinated for a while, and has made an act of stealing the box office, and now it is severely condemned by all parties, we have deeply realized our mistakes, we must accept criticism from all walks of life, immediately rectify the whole line, and solemnly promise the public that we will never do this kind of illegal and disorderly thing in the future!
......
As soon as this statement came out, public opinion that had been boiling for a whole day calmed down, and the two cinemas had to close for a week, make a gesture of rectification, and then calm down and wait for the theater chain to be sold.
Brother Hong helped himself so much, Liu Lili consciously went to her and Brother Hong's love nest that day, she herself has been trained in Thailand, especially good at serving people, the two stayed together for two days, Brother Hong was very satisfied with her, when they separated, Brother Hong explained to her again:
"Don't do this kind of stupid thing in the future! We are not people who care about money, I asked you to invest this money, you don't expect to get it back, it's nothing to lose, anyway, the purpose of the investor is not to make money!
If "Silver Age" doesn't have this incident, I originally wanted to use this movie to give you the Best Actress Award at this year's Golden Phoenix Film Awards, but now this movie stinks like this, I can only help you fight for the Best Supporting Actress of the Golden Phoenix, and when the time comes, remember to ask your agency to report the "Triangle White Tower" in which you played a supporting role!"
