To be honest, Li Mo has always hated things like stealing/buying box office.

As early as 2006, when "Night Banquet" was released, there was a box office stealing incident, but at that time, the Internet was not developing as rapidly as it is now, so even if the competent authorities and relevant units had the idea of focusing on investigation and punishment at that time, in the end, it was due to the passage of time and the lack of evidence.

Even so, the General Administration still issued a notice, requiring all localities to strictly investigate and absolutely prohibit the recurrence of such incidents.

But...... In fact, that notice was of little use.

Even if the General Administration sends people down, they will encounter the dilemma of insufficient evidence and inability to execute, what can you let those departments that do not have law enforcement powers in various places? ?

From this point of view, the development of Internet technology is actually a good thing for the higher-level authorities.

But the question is, people steal the box office and buy the box office, what does it matter to me Molong Media?

What you want to arrest is Lu Xun, what does it matter to me Zhou Shuren?

Li Mo looked confused.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in all parts of the world.

It's just that there are different ways to operate in different places.

In North America, because the distribution channel is usually controlled by medium-sized or large companies, and the distribution company is also the upstream position in the entire industry, they generally do not sign buyout agreements according to the box office figures after the release of the film, they use a more direct method: buy out all the rights to the film. After the agreement was signed, the film had nothing to do with the original producer.

Due to the large number of distribution companies on the Celestial Empire, the producers usually have a much larger choice, and there are even several distribution companies that jointly distribute a film, so relatively speaking, although the distribution company is also in the upper reaches of the ecology of the entire industry, it is difficult to have as many advantages as the six major or second-level distribution companies in North America, so when operating the film distribution, it is usually used to calculate a specific box office number, and then provide it to the producer for reference, if the other party agrees, the release share will be calculated according to this box office, and the corresponding share will be paid in advance。

This year's Spring Festival movie "Mermaid" is operated in this way.

Of course, it is not an industry practice for Xinghui to ask for additional shares after the box office is a big hit......

Just when Li Mo was thinking about why Director Liu would bring the topic to the issue of guaranteed issuance, Zong Shuai suddenly kicked Li Mo's feet, and under Zong Shuai's instructions, Li Mo finally figured out Director Liu's logic.

Because the distributor of "Ip Man 3" broke out a scandal to buy the box office, there must be something wrong with the way the movie was released. Continuing to deduce, this time the distributor of "Ip Man 3" adopted the method of box office guaranteed buyout, so the General Administration believes that the distribution company used the method of buying the box office after signing the guarantee agreement in order to make the company's performance look good, so it used the way of buying the box office to promote the box office results, and then promote the company's performance, and finally achieve the purpose of leveraging the company's stock price and finally 'cutting leeks' in the stock market......

To tell the truth, as long as he analyzes it a little, Li Mo can see that not only does there be no problem with this derivation process of the General Administration, but on the contrary, it is very likely that it is a hypothesis that is closest to the real situation.

But the problem here is that the market management has taken the illegal operation of a certain company in the operation of a certain film, and magnified it into the method used by the entire industry, all companies, in the distribution process of every film that uses the same operating method......

It's like on a soccer field, where a player makes too much action during a tackle and the spike scratches the opposing player, so the referee simply bans all players involved in the sport from tackling the ball!

That's outrageous, isn't it?

In the final analysis, there is no problem with the two methods of buyout issuance and split issuance at all, and the problem is the violator who exploits the loopholes in the rules.

Even if market managers really want to clean up the market and crack down on criminals, they should only increase penalties and improve laws and regulations, rather than exclude all companies that are doing business normally.

Thinking of this, Li Mo made up his mind - even if the management really wants to implement this policy in the end, Molong Media can't rush to the front and act as a sign for the management to set up!

“…… Director Liu, we Molong Media from its establishment to the present is only a few years, although some achievements and progress have been made, but the influence in the industry is limited, if the final investigation and research, determined to implement what you just said in the industry, then we Molong Media will definitely support the national policy, and do a good job of self-discipline and self-examination, never cause trouble to the country, as for other companies...... "Speaking of this, Li Mo face is difficult, "We really have no way." ”

', this little fox!'

Although Director Liu's face was still so kind, he had already scolded Li Mo several times in his heart.

To be honest, whether it was facing Wang's Group or Guanglu Media before, Director Liu actually had reservations when he spoke.

On the one hand, it is because Wang's and Guanglu are just simple issuing companies, although there are also some cinema shares, but they are better than nothing, and they are completely unable to exert influence, and on the other hand, considering that these companies have been rooted in the industry for many years, in the absence of conclusive evidence, even Director Liu cannot be punished without teaching.

The situation of Molong Media is different from theirs.

Lack of qualifications;

There are cinemas;

The most important thing is that Molong Media has just participated in the guaranteed release of "Mermaid", which set a total box office record.

If Molong Media can stand up and advocate the cessation of guaranteed issuance at this time, in Director Liu's view, the influence is absolutely unprecedented.

In addition, he and Han Shanping also have some friendship, so Director Liu finally decided to test Li Mo's tone and see if he could withdraw from Molong Media as a typical ......

…… Who knows, although this guy is not very old, he speaks without leakage.

Opening and closing the mouth 'has limited impact', and closing the mouth and opening the mouth 'can only control yourself' life and death is not a trick......

With a sigh, Director Liu decided to give up the idea of opening a breakthrough from Li Mo.

No problem, Molong Media has nothing to do with the whole thing that happened this time, even if it is found out this time, none of the movie theaters that participated in the 'Ghost Field' schedule belong to Molong Cinema Line, since everyone has already expressed their position, it makes no sense to continue to be entangled like this......

"Xiao Li, I'm older than you, so I'm not polite to you. You young people will be the future and backbone of the Celestial Empire's movies in the future, and you must film well, make good films, and make scenes that the people like to see!"

“…… Chief, make sure you get the job done!"
