Chapter Seventy-Five: The Daddy
Chen Chuan came to Lu Chen's office with a hint of anger, he was still the director of this movie after all, but Lu Chen didn't tell him anything that this movie was about to be released, and he didn't even know how this movie was released.
Regarding Chen Chuan's question, Lu Chen replied directly: "Director Chen, this movie has passed the review of the Film and Television Bureau. ”
In this world, each cultural product has a special management department, for example, the review of film, television and animation is the responsibility of the Film and Television Bureau, and film and television dramas need to pass the review of the Film and Television Bureau before they can be broadcast.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Chen Chuan frowned slightly, and then asked cautiously, "Stuffed the money?"
The Film and Television Bureau receives a large number of film and television dramas pending review every day, and it takes at least 20 days for a film to pass the application from the application review to the approval of the application.
Lu Chen replied: "No, I'm actually very curious, how did this movie pass the review so quickly, I thought it was because Director Chen directed it, so it could pass the review so quickly." ”
Chen Chuan said: "My fame doesn't play a role in the Film and Television Bureau, how they should be judged or how they have to be judged." ”
"In this way, it seems that it is because the Film and Television Bureau knows that Chenyin owes too much money to the country, so it wants Chenyin to make money quickly and pay back the money owed, so it first reviewed our movie. Lu Chen guessed.
"Perhaps, but what's the matter with the movie you're talking about?"
"The movie has not been promoted, and the theaters have not been docked, how can the movie be released?" asked Chen Chuan.
Lu Chen smiled and replied: "Director Chen, our Chenguang Company has set up an online cinema, and we plan to broadcast the movie Journey to the West directly in the online cinema." ”
Chen Chuan asked suspiciously: "Online cinema? What is that? I heard people from your company talk about online cinemas since I came in just now." ”
Lu Chen replied: "To put it simply, it is to move the movie theater online, so that people can see the premiere of the movie without going to the movie theater in the future." ”
Hearing this, Chen Chuan was stunned, and it took him a while before he reacted.
He finally understood why Lu Chen and the others wanted to press the film and run to the song, and also understood why Chenyin wanted to buy Chenguang Film and Television, it turned out that all of this was related.
Chenyin Company used the money earned from the song to buy Chenguang Film and Television, and then used Chenguang to build an online cinema, and then used "Journey to the West" to test the waters.
Lu Chen is gambling, if he wins the bet, not only can the three billion debts be easily repaid, but he can also break through the blockade of Shimei and Lu Ying.
However, this will definitely touch the interests of the theater chain, and it will inevitably be opposed, not only will it be opposed, but it may even make other film and television companies unite to block Chenyin.
Movies are released in major theaters, some of them are not only box office revenue, although box office income can account for 70% of the total income of movie theaters, but there are also 30% of the income is also money, to put it in layman's terms, people go to the cinema to buy bags of popcorn, buy a bottle of Coke is money, Shimei cinema chain can earn seven or eight billion net profits a year by selling popcorn and Coke.
Low-priced things like Coke and popcorn can make seven or eight billion, while other business ecosystems in the studio make even more money.
Lu Chen moved the movie theater to the Internet, which is equivalent to directly cutting off 30% of the theater's income, which is tantamount to snatching food, and Lu Chen's doing this will cause public anger 100%.
Chen Chuan said: "The method is good, but have you ever considered that you will offend a lot of people by doing this?"
Lu Chen said disappreciably: "I have thought about it, but Shi Mei and Lu Ying suppressed us in front, and other theaters took advantage of the fire to rob, they are unkind, and we can also be unjust." ”
"And online cinemas are only for a part of the group, those who want to go to the cinema to watch movies, want to go to the cinema for a date, young people will still go to the cinema, especially special effects movies, and there is no way to experience the pleasure of watching blockbusters without going to the cinema. ”
Chen Chuan thought about it and felt that what Lu Chen said was very reasonable, many people go to the cinema nowadays to see the atmosphere, and some young men and women go to the cinema itself not to watch movies.
Thinking of this, Chen Chuan glanced at Lu Chen again, Lu Chen is a person with ideas, and he is also very bold in doing things, if Shi Tian can cultivate it well, maybe he can become the successor of Shimei Group in the future.
At this time, Chen Chuan didn't know that Shi Tian had already chosen a successor, and in his opinion, Lu Chen was very suitable for Shi Yin.
"Okay, let's see the effect first, see if the online movie theater can be started, and I will personally promote it to you when the time comes. Chen Chuan said.
"Then it's troublesome for Director Chen. Lu Chen said.
......
After people knew the news that the movie shot by Chenyin was going to be released, they were almost in a state of confusion, especially the chairman of Shimei and Luying, who didn't understand the news released by Chenyin, both of them refused to cooperate with Chenyin, where did Chenyin go to release the movie? Looking for Sheng Ying to cooperate with Dream Country? But I didn't hear the news of Chenyin's cooperation with the theater chains of these two companies?
And they have almost never heard the promotion of Chenyin's movies before, generally movies are to be released, at least a month in advance, what the hell is this Chenyin company doing?
Just when people were puzzled, the night before the release of "Journey to the West", Lu Chen announced his online cinema plan through Chenguang Company, and began to hype, the main page of Chenguang Film and Television hung a promotional poster of Journey to the West, and Chen Chuan and Shiyin also helped Chenyin Company promote a wave on their Weibo.
As soon as the promotional poster of this online cinema came out, Chenyin Company once again rushed to the first place in the hot search on the Internet.
Lujia Hall.
After Lu Yaoyao and Lu Yiming finished eating, they had been discussing the plan for the expansion strategy of the Luying Group in the hall.
To be honest, Lu Yiming didn't expect Lu Chen to take over his class at all, so he was now vigorously cultivating Lu Yaoyao and telling Lu Yaoyao everything.
As for why Lu Yiming doesn't trust Lu Chen, the reason is actually very simple, if you have a child, you eat, drink and have fun every day, either lying on the bed and playing with your mobile phone, or hiding in the house to play games, or lying on a beach chair to bask in the sun, and you don't read books, suddenly one day he tells you that he has the ability to inherit your company and manage it better, if you believe it, then there is a ghost.
"The Dream Realm hurried to drive Wang Hai down, this person is useless, staying there will hinder our plans. Lu Yiming said.
Lu Yiming is an ambitious person, his goal is to completely monopolize the domestic film and television industry and integrate all film and television resources, so he asked Lu Yaoyao to increase his holdings of the shares of the Dream Country through the shell company of the Road Film Group a long time ago, and now, the Road Shadow Group has indirectly held 60% of the shares of the Dream Country and has an absolute controlling stake, but Wang Hai of the Dream Country still did not notice it, and now, there is a chance for Wang Hai to spit out the shares in his stomach.
Lu Yaoyao said: "Why don't you just transfer all the shares of those shell companies to Lu Ying, and let Lu Ying directly control the Dream Country?"
Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, Shi Mei's side has already noticed our actions, and directly controlling the Dream Realm at this time will make them more careful." ”
"That's right, your brother's Chenguang Film and Television ......" Lu Yiming was about to say something, but his words were interrupted by the ringtone of his mobile phone on the tea table, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was his secretary calling, so he immediately answered the phone.
When his secretary reported to him that Chenguang Film and Television was going to build an online movie theater, Lu Yiming was angry and immediately coughed.
"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"
His face was flushed with a cough, and the blood vessels in his forehead bulged.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yaoyao hurriedly walked up to her father and patted him on the back.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
After a while, Lu Yiming eased up, and after he hung up the phone, he immediately used his mobile phone to log on to Weibo, and took a look at what had become in Weibo.
After confirming that Lu Chen was indeed doing this, Lu Yiming scolded fiercely: "This bastard thing, don't do what you should do, don't do nonsense!"
Road Shadow Group has so many cinema chains, once the online cinema matures, I am afraid that fewer people will go to the cinema in the future, and the Road Shadow Group will also be greatly affected.
Lu Yiming handed the phone to Lu Yaoyao on the side, and then said, "Look at what you bastard brother has done!"
Lu Yaoyao took the mobile phone in Lu Yiming's hand suspiciously, and after taking a look, the whole person was dumbfounded.
Does her brother want to be so cheating on her?
Lu Ying is trying to find a way to monopolize the cinema chain, but her brother ran to build an online movie theater, and when Lu Ying buys all those movie theaters, won't he lose a lot, is this to make Lu Ying die?
This is too bold, if he does this, it will not only affect Lu Ying, but I don't know how many people's interests will be moved, and it is very likely that he will get away with being blocked by the entire industry.
Lu Yiming sighed at this time and said, "It seems that our acquisition plan has to be stopped. ”
"In addition, Yaoyao, you go to Huacheng in person and tell your brother that he has been affirmed by me, don't fool around outside. ”
Lu Yiming was scared, his side was increasing his efforts to monopolize the theater chain, but his son ran out to open an online cinema.
He kind of understood why Chenyin was fearless in the face of the blockade of Shimei and Lu Ying, and the movie he made was pressed and ran to sing, and now it seems that Chenyin has a plan for a line.
first earn a fee by singing songs, then buy the half-dead Chenguang Film and Television, then use Chenguang Film and Television to build an online cinema, and finally use the first movie they made to test the waters.
As a businessman, how could Lu Yiming not know the feasibility of online cinemas, the reason why they don't do this is because cinemas can maximize their interests, otherwise with the resources they have at their disposal, they would have already started online cinemas.
