Chapter 569 - Irrefutable
"With a salary of eight dollars, if you make a movie well, it will be a good conversation. ”
Gan Jing sat in the main seat of the company's conference room, and gave a distracted reaction to the latest news he had just heard.
Today's participants in the meeting are the bosses of various departments, who were originally a little indignant when they heard the report of Zhang Tianshun, the director of publicity and distribution, but they calmed down when they saw the big boss so calm.
"Today's meeting is to consider that things have developed so far and we have to sort it out for everyone, otherwise you are confused and don't know why, when the reporter is blocked, you don't know how to answer, how to express tendencies. ”
Gan Jing motioned to Zhang Tianshun that there was no need to elaborate on the humiliating film contract, he took the relevant documents and flipped through them casually, and continued: "First of all, Chu Hui will summarize the report of the comprehensive legal affairs and marketing departments for you, and the information can be brought back for a closer look." ”
Chu Hui cleared her throat: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are most familiar with Japan and South Korea in the overseas market, followed by Europe, and then the Americas, and the company also lacks talents in the American market. ”
There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, and many people looked at the boss.
If you want to say that Beijing Blu-ray is the most famous thing in the industry, the first must be the box office results created with the core of film quality, and the second is to ruthlessly poach people from different companies, and there are beneficiaries here at this moment.
"What do you see I'm doing? Now I'm going to talk about beauty, I have the answer on my face?" Gan Jing tapped the table with his index finger.
Chu Hui raised her hand and pressed it, and said: "First of all, you have to know that the overall situation of American theaters is a state of low profits, two of the top ten theater chains in the United States and Canada announced bankruptcy last year, and their theaters are not as powerful as our domestic theaters by analogy, and the producers have more initiative." ”
Vice President Li Lang smiled: "So Uniasia also wants to take the initiative on our side?"
"Almost, there is such a concept first, well, we also have to know that the sharing model of their cinema chain is different from ours, our side is a fixed proportional share, and their side has a more flexible ladder decreasing system in addition to the fixed proportional share, which is quite a common way. ”
Chu Hui suddenly had a flash of inspiration when she said this, and said with a smile: "This ladder system is similar to the ladder system in our company where actors get remuneration and dividends, if their theaters adopt this, the distributor will take 90% of the box office in the first two weeks, and then reduce it proportionally every two weeks." You can look at the information at hand for the detailed rules, but the information is not complete, and they also have a separate bill negotiated by the theater, which is quite complicated. ”
Gan Jing heard this and reminded: "There is legislation in the United States regarding the scheduling of cinemas and theaters, and we are not sound in this regard, so the unfair scheduling caused by the private rebate of cinemas is illegal in the United States, and it is still a little vague on our side, and if we have to pursue it, there may be a commercial bribery provision." ”
Zhang Tianshun shook his head: "It's difficult." However, the content photographed by Uniasia this time not only includes the points of corporate rebates but also the points in private, which is serious, they have not reached the exposure of cooperation, if it is exposed after it is reached, the punishment suffered by Jingle Cinema Line will not be so light. ”
Chu Hui flipped through the materials and said with a smile: "Although it violates the law of the United States, Uniasia didn't say that it would be complied with in our country at the beginning, they wanted to talk about rebates, but there were differences in price." ”
Zhang Tianshun continued: "According to the news I received, Uniasia is asking for 35% of the first-day films, and Jingle is asking for (8+1)% rebates. ”
Yu Jing, who was silently looking through the information, was taken aback: "Good guy, both sides are ruthless, such a number must be a record." ”
"One walks sideways in the United States, the other walks sideways in the country, just see which side is more horizontal. Zhang Tianshun said with a smile, "There is still room for exploration in this way, but Peter, the vice president of Maine, who is half-connected to Huaxia, seems to have gone wrong when he meets the native cinema line." ”
"I don't know the specific details for the time being, but I should be able to find out after a while, and I'm probably quite keen to see what the American media looks like. Zhang Tianshun said lightly, "At least, this is still good for "The Martian". ”
Gan Jing nodded slowly: "Black to black, trouble to trouble, the theater chain should have greater support for us this time, well, in this way, even if Americans make movies, I am worth it......"
With these words, Zhang Tianshun, the director of publicity and distribution, vibrated strongly, and after reading the new information, he looked up a little strangely and said: "Boss, the news from the United States that Maine Pictures will invest in a film that has not even been named but reflects what "Fire Ants" has encountered in our country. ”
Maine Pictures is the largest investor in "Fire Ants", its status in the United States is roughly equivalent to Huaxia's new entertainment, and this time the distribution in China is also dominated by it, and the satirical film has been changed from an independent studio to a giant film company, which is completely two orders of magnitude of influence.
The former can be considered a farce, and the latter deserves to be taken seriously.
Gan Jing felt choked.
After a moment, he sighed slowly, "It's too much of a deception. ”
Yu Jing frowned and said: "Why does Mai En do this? The situation is even more complicated, if it does this, the domestic film schedule and the above will not give it a good face." ”
Chu Hui analyzed: "Their expressions and positions may be very complex and fragmented, and the message and execution may not be completely consistent, so we have to look at it again." ”
"Keep things simple. Gan Jing shook his head, "They mocked me...... I'm also going to make a film that, well, can't be released domestically, and I'm going to make it with the Americans, and I'm going to show it on their side. ”
Yu Jing sensed the return of a certain familiar feeling, and hurriedly dissuaded: "They can't put this film in our country, don't think about what kind of film to make, it will make complicated things even more complicated." ”
"What do you mean by wanting to come out?" retorted Gan Jing, "it's simplification. ”
The rest of the people in the conference room were silent, and they only felt that it was good to have Yu Jing, a vice president with an unusual status, here, and she could say things that were inconvenient for others to say.
"This is thinking that one is one play, and there is no extra shooting plan two minutes ago, and when you hear that people are investing, you immediately have to follow the filming, and you say that it can't be released in China, so what the hell does it mean?" Yu Jing argued.
"Don't you know?" Gan Jing glanced at Yu Jing and then at the others in the conference room, "Don't you know?"
Everyone was at a loss, what did they know?
"Complex things are simplified. ”
"Filming is the easiest thing for me. ”
"Let's have a "The Wolf of Wall Street" that can't pass the domestic review, and let them see who they want to satirize. ”
Gan Jing knocked on the table and said in an affirmative tone.
Yu Jing's face darkened, but when he glanced at it, he suddenly saw President Chu Hui nodding and his heart was stunned, wait, this, this kind of words came out of his mouth as if there was a kind of irrefutable look?
