Chapter 405: Commanding the Storm
The theater manager knew that he had done something wrong in the matter of confronting Lin Jingyi just now, so he quickly changed his strategy and brought the topic to the box office of the movie again: "Chairman Lin, I know in my heart that you are angry with me, but there are still some things I have to say."
You can punish me or even fire me because of my attitude, and I can tolerate this, but you must not continue on the wrong path.
It was not easy for our company to gain a firm foothold in the film industry, and we couldn't afford such a toss.
Have you forgotten how hard we started our business in the first place? In the past, the film industry has always been firmly controlled by Jiang Zhenya, an old fox, and we have no chance to meddle in this industry at all.
Later, under your correct leadership, we finally set foot in this field, in the past few years, we have invested in films to cultivate various new directors, and it seems that we have done a good job in the film and television entertainment industry, we can't bury all the previous efforts because of this movie.
Because if we lose this time, Jiang Zhenya, the old fox, will definitely not give us another chance to interfere. ”
The theater manager said the truth, in fact, in order to release Yang Zijun's movie, Lin Jingyi really paid a very big price, and she was also under huge pressure.
First of all, the cinema chain under Lingxiao Group has just been established for a few years, and under Jiang Zhenya's suppression and blockade, it is not easy to develop to this point, just like the cinema manager said just now, the reason why Lin Jingyi will grow her cinema chain in a short period of time is not only because of her own efforts, but also because Jiang Zhenya made a small mistake a few years ago.
Jiang Zhenya has always been very shrewd, but in the past few years, he felt that the film and television industry had been firmly controlled by himself, and the business here was all his own, so he was a little slack, and felt that it was not enough to always make money in the film and television industry, so he also wanted to get involved in other industries, so he invested all his career focus and a large part of his cash flow in other industries.
These industries include finance, real estate, and futures trade, as a result, after more than half a year of attempts, Jiang Zhenya completely failed in these fields, not only did he not earn a penny, but lost a lot of capital, and at this time Jiang Zhenya realized a fact, that is, he is not an all-rounder, but he can dominate in the film and television industry, and if he changes fields, he will not be able to play.
And now there are their own overlords in other fields in China, if you want to suddenly change careers and go to other industries to get a piece of the pie, the original overlord in this industry will never allow such a thing to happen, and he will do his best to beat the person who robs his money out of this industry until this person knows how powerful he is.
Jiang Zhenya, who fell behind, turned the focus of his career back to the film and television industry, but after returning to the film and television industry, he found that he had just neglected the entertainment industry for half a year, and as a result, Lin Jingyi took advantage of half a year to quickly establish his own theater chain, and when Jiang Zhenya was not aware of it, it had grown and formed a certain scale.
Jiang Zhenya, who thought he was firmly in control of the film and television industry, suddenly had such a big competitor, and he wanted to kick this competitor out of the industry at once, but he couldn't do it at all, because the Lin family was originally a big family in this city, and its previous strength could be tied with the three major families, but because the family withered, the current strength was not enough to confront the three major families.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the influence of the Lin family is still there, and Lin Jingyi's management and development of the family business over the years, so Jiang Zhenya has no way to take Lin Jingyi's cinema chain for a while, so he can only secretly make it bad, or compete with the cinema chain under Lin Jingyi's company by means of sideways.
Lin Jingyi's time to enter the film and television industry is very short, and the resources in her hands are limited, so the company's theaters have repeatedly lost battles when competing with the theaters in Jiang Zhenya's hands, and sometimes they have no power to fight back at all.
Other executives in Lingxiao Group have publicly questioned Lin Jingyi's decision to invest in the film and television industry countless times at senior management meetings, and some executives even directly said to Lin Jingyi that this kind of investment is meaningless and will only drag down the group's losses.
Lin Jingyi knew that these opinions were correct, and she also knew in her heart that if her cinema chain could not compete with Jiang Zhenya's cinema chain, then her investment would be finished sooner or later, because boiling frogs in warm water, although her cinema chain could survive in a short period of time, but if it could not have its own hematopoietic ability, let alone bring benefits to the group, she could not turn a blind eye in the face of the opposition of the company's top management, and one day she would close the cinema chain under pressure.
And the reason why Lin Jingyi went all out to support the release of Yang Zijun's movie was completely because she wanted to use this movie to fight a beautiful turnaround.
If this theater chain under his own company can win the box office championship after the release of Yang Zijun's movie, it will be of great significance.
This box office champion can not only tell the entire film and television industry that Jiang Zhenya, the old fox, is not invincible, but also prove to the company's top management that it is very strategic to invest in this theater chain, and at that time, even the most demanding opponents will definitely have no reason to oppose themselves.
It's just that it backfired, Yang Zijun actually insisted on not brushing the box office, which made the whole thing full of variables, and Lin Jingyi didn't want to fall out with Yang Zijun in this matter, because Lin Jingyi valued Yang Zijun more than the entire film industry.
Even if the group's cinema chain closes down because of this movie directed by Yang Zijun in the end, as long as she can win the heart and heart of Yang Zijun, Lin Jingyi feels that it is worth it.
So after hearing the words of the theater manager, Lin Jingyi not only did not change her decision, but stood up angrily, patted the desk and reprimanded: "Shut up! You are just a person in charge of my company's cinema chain, don't forget your identity!"
I'm the boss of this group, and no matter what decision I make, it's not your turn to point fingers.
Your presumptuousness just now has touched my bottom line, if you don't do this again, you will bear the consequences. ”
The theater manager originally wanted to perform a drama of serving the country with loyalty, and then moved Lin Jingyi and asked her to change her mind and not fire herself.
