In the field of capital struggle, it is not uncommon to be an ally one day and an enemy the next.

For example, Times Pictures and Wei Xun.

With the previous cooperation of "Wuwen Xidong", the relationship between the two parties has always been in a friendly period, but now because of the greater interest, Times Pictures chooses to abandon Wei Xun immediately without hesitation.

To put it bluntly, it's because Wei Xun's strength is not strong enough.

But if a strong player like Guanchi Group rashly enters the theater market, he will be sniped by film giants such as Dynasty Entertainment, not to mention Wei Xun, who is working alone.

Profit makes people crazy.

Times Pictures, in the vice president's office.

Wei Xun and Hu Zhengxin sat facing each other.

"I think you should have been to Guanchi Group, so I won't repeat these causes and consequences to you, this time you and Guanchi Pictures are collectively rejected by the film and television industry. ”

Hu Zhengxin sighed and said regretfully: "If you had promised to join Times Pictures before, you shouldn't be in such a situation now." ”

Wei Xun smiled and said, "According to what you say, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to join the Imperial Entertainment directly, this temple of your family is too small." ”

Since he tore his face, there was no need for Wei Xun to speak politely.

A touch of anger appeared on Hu Zhengxinyan's face, and after a while, he handed over a contract from the table and said: "I know you are angry in your heart, but this is also something that cannot be helped, everyone has their own difficulties." The contract with a minimum guarantee of 50 million yuan was converted into a 30 million buyout, and in the future, Times Pictures will have nothing to do with "Chinese Partner". ”

Wei Xun didn't look at the contract, and said directly: "I can only give you 20 million." ”

Hu Zhengxin mocked: "Now you still have the heart to bargain with me, can "Chinese Partner" still stand the toss, and Times Pictures has also fulfilled part of the contract, and the early publicity has not fallen, and the theater has also been contacted for you." ”

Wei Xun sneered: "Did you contact the theater company that signed an exclusive agreement with Dynasty Entertainment's "There is a Play Tonight" for me?"

Hu Zhengxin's face froze.

"20 million, this is the highest price I can give you, 10 million admissions, 20 million out, if it weren't for the time when "Chinese Partner" was about to be released, according to my character, I wouldn't give you a penny. ”

Wei Xun leaned forward a little and said coldly, "Because you are blackmailing." ”

Of course, Hu Zhengxin would not be stupid enough to accept this sensitive stubble, but chose to be sloppy: "But this 50 million guaranteed contract, but you ...... it at the beginning"

"Hu Zhengxin, now, immediately contact your board of directors to discuss, you can sign this 20 million, or not. Are you afraid of Dynasty Entertainment's exclusivity agreement, aren't you afraid of bumping into me in theaters in the future?"

Wei Xun interrupted him and said with a smile: "Think about Tianguang Media's "Thief Raiders", you believe me, Times Pictures dares to play dirty with me and ruin "Chinese Partner", then next, I will focus on Times Pictures like I did with Tianguang." ”

In the process of cooperating with Times Pictures, Wei Xun has always been tough and has never been suppressed, at this time, the toughness of the past has become the capital for negotiations now.

And how Wei Xun dealt with Tianguang Media, Times Pictures also saw it.

So in the face of Wei Xun's threat at this moment, Hu Zhengxin hesitated.

After all, even Dynasty Entertainment has to use an exclusivity agreement to deal with Wei Xun's "Chinese Partner", and it can be seen how much Dynasty Entertainment attaches importance to this film.

Moreover, as the original investor of "Chinese Partner", Hu Zhengxin clearly knows the threat of this film.

If it weren't for the fact that it had to side with Dynasty Entertainment and covet Dynasty Entertainment's theatrical cooperation, Times Pictures would never have chosen to withdraw from the investment in "Chinese Partner".

And from "Wuwen Xidong" to "Chinese Partner", it is enough to prove Wei Xun's terrible talent for film output, if he uses the same means as he did to deal with Tianguang Media on Times Pictures, Hu Zhengxin feels chills when he thinks about it.

So after a moment of silence, he got up and went to negotiate with the board of directors of Times Pictures under the gaze of Wei Xun.

Half an hour later, the contract for "Chinese Partner" was changed from a 50 million guarantee to a 20 million buyout, and Times Pictures completely withdrew from the project.

Wei Xun left the vice president's office with the contract and ran into Shao Bing and Jiang Duzhou at the door.

The three of them looked at each other in silence for a moment, then they all smiled.

"Lao Jiang and I are still running the publicity roadshow, no matter how the company and your affairs are resolved, but the film "Chinese Partner", I directed and participated in the boat, so we will not abandon it. ”

Shao Bing hammered Wei Xun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brothers, you can only help you here, and you don't have the ability to help anything else." Next, you're going to have to hold on. ”

Jiang Duzhou also smiled beside him: "Lao Shao is afraid that you will think too much, so he pulled me over to block you, and planned to have a hypocritical brother confession...... Oh. ”

Before he finished speaking, Shao Bing kicked out directly, and Jiang Duzhou grinned in pain.

Wei Xun smiled and stretched out his arms, hugged the shoulders of the two and patted them, and then walked away in style.

After taking a few steps, he waved the document bag in his hand without looking back, and said, "What a big deal, it's not enough, see you later." ”

People are emotional animals, and they were stabbed in the back by Times Pictures, and it was false to say that they were not uncomfortable.

But fortunately, Wei Xun also handed over Jiang Duzhou and Shao Bing, two buddies, which is good, isn't it.

At least after coming out of Times Pictures, Wei Xun's mood is okay.

"Brother Xun, although this matter is a little aggrieved, I want to say that in fact, it is good for Times Pictures to quit. ”

Mao Bin looked at Wei Xun's face and said: "The early stage of the film promotion has almost gone, and we have the backing of Guanchi's cinema chain, and if the box office of "Chinese Partner" rises, there is no need to give them money." As for the current grievances, we will get them back sooner or later. ”

Wei Xun glanced at Mao Bin with some surprise when he heard this, and then praised: "That's right, I've grown a lot recently." ”

Mao Bin said with a smile: "I have experienced a lot of things, and I always have to grow, and Brother Xun, you are walking too fast, and I must try to keep up with you." ”

During this time, Mao Bin was really trying to adapt to the position of this agent.

"Good. Wei Xun praised with a smile, and then said, "Has Gu Changming been contacted?"

Mao Bin immediately nodded and said: "I've got in touch, and Xingyang Law Firm, I have also hired a reliable lawyer named Zhao Hui, who is waiting in Panda Film and Television." ”

So Wei Xun said: "Okay, then go to Panda Film and Television to have a look." ”

After reading the Panda film and television materials given by Gu Changming, Wei Xun finally decided to buy 80% of Panda's shares at a price of 10 million.

Gu Changming agreed.

After all, Panda Film and Television has now reached a time when it can't hold on, and if someone is willing to inject capital into the holdings, it must be better than selling it directly.

Half an hour later, Wei Xun came to Panda Film and Television, and Gu Changming and lawyer Zhao Hui were already waiting for him.

"Wei Lao...... No, Mr. Wei. Gu Changming still wanted to call Mr. Wei, but soon realized the problem, changed his name to Mr. Wei, and then asked tentatively, "Let me take you to visit the company first?"

A small business in a commercial building, with more than 20 employees, is actually nothing to visit.

"No, I'm only responsible for controlling the company's development trend, and the specific internal management issues will be followed by you for the time being. ”

Wei Xun shook his head and said, "I have a problem that needs to be solved now, you can find the company's programmer to introduce another function in the panda ticket business." ”

Gu Changming was surprised when he heard this: "What function?"

Wei Xun explained: "Whenever a customer buys a movie ticket, the system will waive a part of the fee for him, such as 60 tickets, and the customer may be able to buy it for 50 yuan. ”

On the planet, before 2010, the highest domestic film box office in China was about 700 million.

In just a few years in the following years, this highest box office soared to more than 100 million, more than 200 million.

Not only because of the hot film market, many capital parties have entered the market, and the number of movie theaters has increased sharply, but also because of the discount of ticket prices.

Maoyan and Taopiao Piao Piao fought their way out of the online box office market in this way, monopolizing nearly 90% of the online box office in the market, and finally successfully listed each other, swelling to nearly tens of billions of assets.

For a ticket-buying software to go to such a height, I have to say that the Internet era is crazy enough.

The first on the planet to break the rules of the market in China and use discounted ticket prices to harvest the box office was an imported film "Transformers 4".

After this film entered the Chinese market, the box office exceeded 600 million in three days, and finally the total box office of nearly 2 billion was released, which directly broke the box office data of "Avatar" in China.

There is also a follow-up movie called "There Will Be No Future", learning from "Change 4" and smashing 20 million to discount movie tickets, and finally pried out a box office of nearly 700 million.

Then, "Heart Blossom Road" simply hit 9.9 and 19.9 to watch the movie, and became the box office champion of the year in one fell swoop, harvesting nearly 1.2 billion at the box office!

What these two films have in common is that the quality is very indescribable.

But I was stunned by the discount of ticket prices, and piled up an eye-popping high box office!

So, don't feel that cheap is not good, cheaper, sometimes it can have a completely subversive effect!

There is also an official way to discount movie tickets, which is called ticket compensation.

And Wei Xun plans to use this method to change the industry's ticket prices and meet Dynasty Entertainment's "There is a Play Tonight", and at the same time take the opportunity to seize the online ticket market and launch Panda Film and Television!
