Chapter 622: Sanctions!(Second Update!)

"What!"

Several exclamations rang out in the conference room, disrupting the already bleak atmosphere.

Wu Xueyi's face was full of disbelief, and she asked loudly, "The five major theaters are all only scheduled for 3%?"

The other four also had a hellish look on their faces, staring at the head of distribution closely.

The director of distribution said with some difficulty, "Yes, chairman, except for some pre-sold tickets for some shows tomorrow, there are nearly 7% of the film schedule, and from the day after tomorrow, there will only be 3% of the film schedule at most, and a movie theater will show at most one after the evening." ”

Now online ticket purchases account for 35% of the share, although "Rooftop Love", a movie that does not worry about not being able to buy tickets, will not buy tickets so early in advance, after all, tickets cannot be refunded, but it also accounts for part of the screenings, and there will be 7% of the films scheduled tomorrow, and almost all the screenings without pre-sales have been withdrawn.

"How so!"

Wu Xue looked incredulous.

The others were not much better, and Wu Hongliang, the boss of Tangde, frowned and asked, "Have you figured out why the other party is doing this?"

The director of distribution shook his head, "I don't know, there was no warning before, I have been to several theaters before." ”

"What the hell is going on, now that the first weekend is almost over, why do you want to shoot at this time?"

Everyone is puzzled, even if the two sides are competitors on the same schedule, there is nothing to say about lowering the film schedule, it is not malicious competition, and it doesn't even hack you.

But if you want to do it, you should also lower the film schedule from the first day of release, now domestic films with average quality have one-third of the total box office in the first week, and even half of the total box office in the first four days.

When the box office exploded, I didn't press the film, but now that the weekend has passed, what do you want to do?

"Mr. Zhang, go and inquire about the news, Tang An can't make a move for no reason, something must have happened. Wu Xue instructed the director of distribution.

"Interstellar" announced at the end of last year that it was scheduled for the summer, plus there is also "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and a domestic movie will either be moved to the end of July, or simply moved to August.

They also want to pick up the leak, "Tomb Robbery Notes" is still two weeks away from "Interstellar", and there is only one blockbuster in the middle, "Interstellar".

Tang An is awesome, but in addition to Tang An's movies in the previous Chinese New Year, there were not two movies with 600 million.

And "Rooftop Love" is a song and dance film, the two are not in conflict, at most there are a little fewer films, so it is better to wait until the end of the summer vacation.

To put it bluntly, whether it is for them or Tang An, "Tiantai Love" is not the opponent of "Interstellar", and they just drink soup after it.

A small character who can't stop talking, how could Tang An make a special move, and the two sides didn't have a holiday.

Wu Xue couldn't figure it out, after all, Hengda Film and Television was backed by Hengda Real Estate, and ordinary people would not provoke it.

Although Hengda's entry into the film and television industry is mainly to develop live-action entertainment projects, it does not pay much attention to Hengda Film and Television.

However, Wu Xue attaches great importance to it, she has to make achievements, so she found Fan Binbin, who cooperated with Hengda, and through the relationship between Fan Binbin's agent in Baodao, she contacted Jay Chou and participated in the investment.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Jiang Zhiqiang.

"Mr. Jiang, you and Tang An..."

Half the words are self-explanatory.

Wu Hongliang and the others also understood what Wu Xue was talking about, and they all looked at Jiang Zhiqiang.

Now that "Rooftop Love" is firmly on the street in the base camp of Treasure Island, I can only count on the mainland box office.

Originally, the data of nearly 30 million in three days had to be 80 or 90 million in the end, and it was not impossible to break 100 million if you were lucky.

Coupled with patch advertising, TV, network copyright, and Southeast Asian copyright, it will basically not lose money.

Now the five major theaters sanction "Rooftop Love", and only 3% of the follow-up films will be scheduled, so the follow-up box office will be cut by half.

I don't understand what the reason is, the only possibility is Jiang Zhiqiang, after all, Eucalyptus and Meiya offended Tang An in Xiangjiang, and Tang An also said that he would not cooperate with them again.

Jiang Zhiqiang saw that they were all looking at him, and hurriedly waved his hand, "A few people think about it, we have other movies released in the first half of this year, and Tang An is not targeting us." ”

Everyone thought about it and rethought it.

Half an hour later, the head of distribution knocked on the door again and gave the answer.

"Chairman, I figured it out, a vice president of the Hantang Cinema Line Beijing Cinema Management Company revealed a little news. ”

Wu Xue was a little impatient, "What is the reason!"

The distribution director hurriedly said, "It's because of Zheng Zhiwei, who played the second male lead in "Rooftop Love". ”

Zheng Zhiwei?

Everyone understood in an instant.

Cheng Jiashang was replaced as the director of the series "The Four Famous Catches", and Zheng Zhiwei was fine at the time, and many people thought that this matter was over.

But why did it take three days for the movie to be released? I still don't understand this.

But they didn't have the heart to think about why, and the first priority was to settle the matter.

"Go and ask them what they want to do?" Wu Xue immediately commanded.

"I asked, and they seemed to mean that as long as Zheng Zhiwei did not appear on any promotional channels of the movie, including posters, videos, advertorials, roadshows, meet-and-greets, interviews, programs, news... In all channels, Zheng Zhiwei must not appear, and the film schedule will return to normal. The head of distribution said immediately.

...

The room fell silent again.

After a while, Wu Xue raised her head and looked at the four of them, "What do you say?"

"I agree. ”

Tang De boss Wu Hongliang was the first to nod.

The most important thing for him is to ensure the box office of "Rooftop Love" and the company's performance in the next two years.

Now that film and television companies are listed one after another, Wu Hongliang submitted a listing application to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange at the beginning of 12 years, and he must maintain profits for three consecutive years, otherwise the listing industry will be ruined.

In contrast, a Zheng Zhiwei is just a sale, and if he sells it, he sells it.

Mu Xiaoguang thought for a moment and nodded, "I have no opinion." ”

He doesn't mix with Xiangjiang, he doesn't even care about Baodao, he specializes in the mainland market, and the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is like that now, he wants to hang his breath alive.

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't say anything, Wu Xue looked at Yang Junlong again, after all, "Rooftop Love" is a film that Jay Chou supported alone, without him, let alone 30 million in three days, 3 million is a dream.

Five investors, three agreed, Jiang Zhiqiang did not object.

Yang Junlong thought about it for a while, and could only say helplessly, "Jay Lun and Zheng Zhiwei have filmed "Slam Dunk" and "Thorn Tomb" together, and they have a good relationship, which everyone knows. ”

Wu Xue tapped her fingers lightly on the table and said, """Thorn Tomb" and "Su Qier" failed two blockbusters in a row, and all the profits of "Counter War" added up to barely return to the cost, if it fails again this time, Mr. Yang should also know the consequences." ”

"I'll talk to Jay about it. ”

Yang Junlong is also a pure businessman, and Alpha has always been in his business, serving as the general manager.

Later, Wu Zhongxian sold Alpha to Haodile, and he, the general manager, was hollowed out in just a few years, and decisively left with Jay Chou.

It's just a hassle to do Jay Chou's job.

Yang Junlong went to the next room to make a call, and it took more than half an hour to call, and he was relieved when he came back.

"Okay, let's go contact Han Tang. ”

The next thing is to change the way of publicity, Zheng Zhiwei cannot be mentioned in the propaganda of the party, and those advertorials and news must be deleted and modified.

Zheng Zhiwei can't be involved in the roadshow, and the fans and media who arranged it have made some mess.

The TV station also has to say hello.

Of course, Zheng Zhiwei himself has to be informed.

Everything was arranged, and several people were a little aggrieved.

But what can be done to be aggrieved, the arms can't twist the thighs, and people hold the two major weapons of the ticketing terminal and the projection terminal, and the share is still quite a lot.

Wu Xue is aggrieved that there is Hengda Group standing behind her, which far exceeds Hantang Media in size, but in the film and television industry, Hengda Film and Television is not enough in the eyes of others.

Jiang Zhiqiang is aggrieved that he, who has overseas distribution channels, was able to take the initiative in the face of Huayi and Xinxiang seven or eight years ago, but now he is not even qualified to talk to Tang An.

Wu Hongliang secretly thought that Tang De must be successfully listed, and if he is listed, he can expand rapidly by attracting a large amount of capital, and he will have a greater voice in the entertainment industry.

......

And Tang An, the initiator of this incident, had already conducted an interview in Tianjing at this time, and also ran a movie theater.

On the train to the next stop, Tang An received a call from Qu Bo, the president of the theater line.

"Well, okay, let's get back to scheduling. ”

hung up the phone and threw the phone to Zhou Li.

For some people who take the initiative to cause trouble, Tang An never knew how to write the word generosity.

As for why they only cut their schedule on Sunday now.

Well, Tang An Chun crushed is forgot.

Although Zheng Zhiwei is considered a "big guy" in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, this kind of "big guy" who said the wrong thing and was beaten into a pig's head......

I really didn't pay attention, I accidentally glanced at the poster of "Rooftop Love" in the cinema last night, and I remembered, so I made a phone call with the CEOs of several major theaters.

This is a trivial matter, and it is not that there are no movies in the summer file, and there are just three new films released, and they can't lose much.

Compared with the little money lost, the release of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" and "Breakup Master" alone is a lot of money.

But since the other party is willing to do so, Tang An will also resume the film schedule for them.

It's not good to make people's theaters lose money, even if the money is not much, it is a loss.

The original Wuzhou Distribution and Four Seas Distribution are gradually inferior because of the interests between members.

Interests are the best bond to maintain the alliance, and if you let your allies lose money this time, then there will be a next time, a next time.

And many people will only see that because you lost money, they selectively ignored the money made by you.

Even if it doesn't lead to the collapse of the alliance, there is a gap.

......

At this time, in the lounge of a movie theater in the magic capital, Jay Chou and the actors were talking and laughing.

Suddenly, Jay Chou answered the phone, said a few words and went out again, and didn't push open the door and come in until more than half an hour.

His face was very ugly, and he said a few words to Zheng Zhiwei, and the two went out again, leaving everyone who didn't know why.
