Chapter 57: Lu Yiming's intentions
"Brother, if you don't have the support of Lu Ying and Shimei's cinema chain, no matter how good your movie is, it won't have much box office. β
For her brother's career, Lu Yaoyao is still quite supportive, after all, she is her own brother, so she is very worried about what difficulties Lu Chen will encounter.
Lu Ying and Shimei control most of the movie theater lines in first- and second-tier cities, and if they don't cooperate with Chenyin, it is basically impossible for Chenyin's movies to sell well at the box office in third- and fourth-tier cities.
People have the hearts of the herd, and the company also has them, not to mention that the two industry giants took the lead in suppressing Chenyin, which will definitely make other theaters have a bad impression of Chenyin, and even take the opportunity to increase the proportion of box office share.
Listening to his sister's words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought, this is indeed a big trouble, but there is no need to intimidate himself too much, it's just a low box office, if the cost can be recovered, as for the rest of the matter, I will talk about it later.
And he already had a bold plan in mind.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said, "Yaoyao, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll handle it myself." β
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao was stunned, and then asked, "What are you going to do?"
The corners of Lu Chen's mouth rose slightly, and then replied, "Trade secrets." β
"Okay, it's so late today, let's get some rest early. β
"I'm sleepy too. β
"Oh, okay. β
Seeing that Lu Chen himself was not too worried, Lu Yaoyao didn't say anything anymore, but she felt from her heart that Lu Chen had no way to deal with this matter, unless he came back to find their father in person.
But judging by his tone, he didn't seem to have that intention.
So how is he going to break the game? Lu Yaoyao thought to herself.
Early the next morning.
Road Villa.
Hall.
Lu Yiming and Lu Yaoyao both got up early this morning, and now it's only six o'clock, and they both got up and sat in the hall for breakfast.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Yiming would get up before Lu Yaoyao, and after he went out after breakfast, Lu Yaoyao might not necessarily get up.
Seeing that his daughter got up so early today, he seemed to have something to tell him, so he asked with a smile: "Yaoyao, why did you get up so early today and sleep a little more?"
Lu Yaoyao stopped the tableware in her hand, and then turned her head to look at Lu Yiming, who was sitting in the middle of the long table.
"Dad, I still think it's too much for you to use the power of the entire group to suppress my brother's new company. Lu Yaoyao said.
After hearing this, Lu Yiming wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then asked, "Your brother sent you to be a lobbyist?"
"No, I just can't stand it anymore, after all, you are his father, how can a father treat his son like this. Lu Yaoyao said seriously.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "You favor your brother, I understand, after all, your brother and sister have a deep relationship." β
"But if your brother doesn't dare to talk to me in person, but hides behind a woman, it will only make me look down on him. β
Lu Yaoyao heard something from Lu Yiming's words, it seemed that her father did it on purpose, and then wanted to force her brother to bow to him and sharpen his brother's edge, while her father firmly believed that he was sent by his brother.
Lu Yaoyao emphasized again: "Dad, I'm not a lobbyist, my brother said that he has his own way, it's just that I can't stand it." β
"Other people's fathers support their children's careers, how can there be anyone like you, don't support it, forget it, and suppress it with other groups, my brother finally found what he wants to do, if you do this, how can the movie he made have a good box office, how can he start a successful business without a good box office, what if he becomes the same as before because of setbacks. β
At this time, Lu Yiming stood up and put the napkin on the table.
"I don't care if he is really starting his own business, or because you helped him, the Road Shadow Group will not cooperate with him, the flowers in the greenhouse will wither when they encounter the cold wind, and the greenhouse will not exist forever. β
"I can't even deal with this little problem, he still wants to inherit the Luying Group, I think he should stop dreaming. β
"Also, Yaoyao, don't get involved in your brother's matter if you have nothing to do, if he really has the ability, go directly to Shimei Group, or talk to me, business groups are not run by temperament. β
"But......" Lu Yaoyao was about to say something, but Lu Yiming interrupted her again.
"In addition, I heard that Shimei has also restricted its companies from cooperating with Chenyin, which is more interesting than you know, you just have to wait and see. β
Shimei is such a big company, and it will use the power of the entire group to suppress a rookie actor for no reason, the most suspicious thing is that Shimei and this rookie actor have not crossed paths in the past, not because of contract disputes, plus such restrictions have far exceeded the punishment of artists, capitalists want to exploit you, and will give you a way when restricting you, so that you can go to the path they want, as a result, Shimei Group directly sealed the windows, completely restricting cooperation with Chenyin Company, no matter how you think about it, it feels like there is a story in it, Lu Yiming is a smart person, it is impossible not to see that there is a problemγ
"Okay, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. β
After speaking, Lu Yiming turned around and left the hall.
Looking at the back of him leaving, Lu Yaoyao sighed, it seems that she can't help her brother, now it depends on whether his brother has any way, or whether he is willing to give in and come directly to his father.
If he came to his father, his father would definitely lift this restriction.
In business, this is the case, and many times it is a forced compromise, unless your company has grown into a big company, you can only be a man with your tail between your legs.
......
Lu Chen's side didn't seem to care about the fact that his company was blocked by the two industry giants at all, and what he was worried about now was how to persuade Shi Yin to join forces against these two groups.
With so many resources in his hands, he didn't believe he would be completely blocked.
To be honest, he can actually completely abandon Shi Yin, and then run out on his own, after all, Shi Mei is likely to suppress himself because of Shi Yin, but if he puts aside Shi Yin and goes it alone, Shi Mei is likely to unlock his restrictions.
But for some reason, Lu Chen didn't want to do it.
He suddenly felt that it would be particularly interesting to pull Shiyin to work together.
And Shiyin is also popular, although it is not as popular as a month ago, but she is still a star after all, and she has a certain amount of traffic.
Lu Chen made a phone call to Shi Yin early in the morning, but the result was the same as he thought, it was to turn off the phone.
In desperation, he had to go to the company alone, and then prepare for the release of the movie.
When it was almost noon, Lu Chen called Shi Yin again, but the phone was still turned off.
At that moment, he saw through the transparent glass Shiyin walking into the office.
