With the decline of word-of-mouth and the high expectations created at the beginning, "Marginal People" was far lower than the audience's expectations, and the box office was even higher and lower, and the first week of the Spring Festival schedule had not yet passed, and the daily box office had fallen to 100 million.

On the other hand, "Infernal Affairs" broke out completely.

Although "Marginal Man" did not lose money, it was clearly much lower than the investment expectations.

In early spring, the sun is shining and the weather is pleasant, it is a good weather for travel, and the major theaters across the country are also full, especially the theater of "Infernal Affairs", although the daytime attendance rate cannot be compared with the first two days, but even if the number of films has increased repeatedly, even the daytime attendance rate has exceeded 60%, and the average attendance rate after 6 o'clock in the evening is as high as 90%.

The box office broke 1 billion on the 4th day of release, and the subsequent box office decline is also very reasonable.

On the other hand, in terms of the number of films scheduled for "Marginal People", except for Tianxing, other cooperative theaters have reduced the number of films scheduled for "Marginal People".

At this time, it broke out again, and the theaters joined by Tianxing Cinema Line to publicly express their dissatisfaction with Tianxing's hegemony.

For listed companies like Tianxing Group, how much profit a movie makes is not what they value most, what they value most is the overall impact on the stock price and market value.

The current box office of "Marginal Man" is 750 million, which is definitely not low for ordinary movies, but for a film like "Marginal Man" with an investment of more than 400 million, plus a publicity and distribution cost that can even reach 500 million, it will be absolutely disastrous.

The stock price of Tianxing Group fell in response, and just when "Marginal Man" was considering a coping strategy, it happened that the theaters joined to publicly protest against the Tianxing Cinema Line.

The stock price naturally fell in response, especially, in recent years, although the development of Tianxing is not bad, but there are few bright spots, especially in movies, Tianxing, who was once a frequent visitor to the box office champion of domestic films, has made a lot of big productions in recent years, but it has not been able to achieve good results.

Regarding the grievances between Tianxing and Lin Xiao, many years have passed, but I didn't expect that so far, this grievance is still unresolved.

The words of Manager You of Donglin Cinema, although it was his personal speculation, made many people believe that it was the truth.

The grievances between Lin Xiao and the top management of Tianxing, which one of the high-level leaders?

It's none of your business, for most people who eat melons, when they see this kind of news, they just laugh a few times and ridicule a few words, and it has nothing to do with them anyway.

However, for the shareholders of Tianxing Group and the shareholders of Tianxing Group, the impact is not small.

Especially those shareholders of Tianxing Group, for them, grievances and grievances are fine, as long as they do not affect their interests, they don't bother to care about these, after all, this kind of thing is too common in this circle.

In the Chinese film and television industry, where the cinema chain is strong, the news that the cinema chain blocked a certain film and television company is not big news at all.

But this time, it's different.

What kind of movie is "Infernal Affairs"? It is the most popular film nowadays, and it is called a classic of Chinese movies by many netizens, a once-in-a-century classic of police and gangster films, and so on.

And in terms of box office, "Infernal Affairs" is even more unbeatable, and it is rare that film critics and fans have a very good reputation.

You don't see that the total number of topics about "Infernal Affairs" on the Internet has exceeded 1 billion, and in the search index, on the search list, Chen Yongren, Liu Jianming, Infernal Affairs and other keywords are even more on the list.

It can be said that "Infernal Affairs" is a classic in the eyes of fans, and in the eyes of businessmen, it is money!

At this time, Tianxing Group did not pick up the money on the ground because of the grievances many years ago, but it also led to a collective rebellion of the franchised theaters below.

Tianxing Film and Television has fallen into the pit, and Tianxing Cinema has also had a big problem, this Nima, the stock price has plummeted like rain, where can shareholders still sit still?

Chen Zhongtian is not really so small-bellied, but the more Lin Xiao mixes up, the more it shows that there is a problem with his vision.

Therefore, although Chen Zhongtian did not personally handle the practices of the people below, he obviously adopted a tacit attitude.

It's just that Chen Zhongtian didn't expect that the result would be like this.

In the meeting room of the board of directors of Tianxing Group.

"Chen Dong, the rumors from the outside world shouldn't be true, right? Just because of that Lin Xiao at the beginning, so Ling Xiao Pavilion was banned? Banned "Iron Fist of Shame", "My Sassy Girlfriend", "Infernal Affairs", these movies with a total box office of more than 5 billion? Where is this for us to ban them, this is obviously because we have been blocked. Chang Zhaoyun represents Fengyun Capital, although Fengyun Capital does not have many shares in Tianxing Group, but Chang Zhaoyun usually rarely speaks, as soon as he speaks, he represents not only Fengyun Capital, but the opinions of many shareholders.

Sure enough, after Chang Zhaoyun took the lead, several representatives of the board of directors and shareholders who usually basically occupy a position said that this matter must be resolved.

Chen Zhongtian is also very depressed, a special labor-management figure at the level of a bigwig in the entertainment industry, has always been a figure who is said by nature, but Nima, because of Lin Xiao, as a result, actually made the entire group unstable.

It's just this time, to tell the truth, Chen Zhongtian also has some bad feelings in his heart, he really didn't expect that the little singer at the beginning would have such a performance.

It is false to say that there is no regret, but there is no regret medicine in the world.

"Mr. Feng, you are the person in charge of Tianxing Cinema Line, let's talk about it, has the matter really reached such a serious point?" Chen Zhongtian looked at Feng Tiangang and said.

Originally, Feng Tiangang was not qualified to participate in the board meeting, but because this time it mainly involved the Tianxing Cinema Line, Feng Tiangang attended the meeting.

"Yes, chairman, as far as I know, Donglin Cinema and other franchised theaters have even begun to contact other cinema chains, and the key is that our contracts with several chain cinemas such as Donglin Cinema will expire at the end of the year, which is also one of the reasons why they dare to openly express their dissatisfaction with the media, and the matter has reached the point where it must be resolved. Feng Tiangang glanced at Chen Zhongtian, hesitated for a moment and said.

"Mr. Feng, why don't you release "Infernal Affairs"? Is it an administrative order issued to you by the board of directors? Or did I tell you to ban Lingxiao Pavilion?" Suddenly, Chen Zhongtian looked at Feng Tiangang and said.

"This ......" Feng Tiangang scolded his mother in his heart, Nima, when he was a, he had to set up an archway, but he was really irrefutable about this kind of thing, of course, Feng Tiangang did have to bear this pot.

"Lin Xiao did have some unpleasantness with our company at the beginning, but it's been so long, do you think I'm the kind of person with a small belly?" Chen Zhongtian looked at Feng Tiangang with sharp eyes.

Chen Zhongtian was indeed a little annoyed, in fact, although he was unhappy with Lin Xiao, he really hadn't said anything about blocking Ling Xiao Pavilion or anything, he just kept turning a blind eye all the time.

Of course, the current situation is indeed inseparable from him, but in Chen Zhongtian's opinion, Feng Tiangang, the CEO of Tianxing Cinemas, still lacks courage, otherwise, if he decides this kind of thing, it is impossible for the board of directors to really blame him for this matter.
