Chapter 283 The Black Hand Who Can't Sit Still

"Bang dang!!"

Huang Bo slammed a stack of newspapers and magazines in his hand on the table, and said with anger on his face: "I think these media are a bunch of grandsons!"

Yu Jing sat next to Peng Yichen, and her silver teeth were also angry: "If you want to say that they confiscated the money, the ghosts don't believe it." ”

Sun Yizou looked at the two of them gritting their teeth, but couldn't help but smile: "I said don't be angry, there are people behind these media to buy it, it's something we have known for a long time." Now that our box office is so high, it's not them who should be in a hurry. ”

Peng Yichen also nodded with a smile and said: "It's still Lao Sun who is smart, since the announcement of our "Journey to the West", there have always been people behind us on the Internet and in the media. I think it's time for them to show their heads. When the time comes, it's not too late for us to clean them up!"

……

At the same time, Han Sanpin of CCTV Group stared at various reports every day, staring at the box office results every day.

The daily box office of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is declining by 1 million per day.

As of the evening of the 28th, this movie, which was once held with great hopes by CCTV and Han Sanpin, has a total box office of only 530 million, and the daily box office has dropped to 11 million.

You must know that CCTV has its own cinema group company, and the box office of their films, except for one-third of the box office revenue released in private cinemas, is to be shared, and the remaining two-thirds of the box office only needs to pay taxes.

In other words, even if the investment cost of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" really reaches the 350 million they claimed (in fact, it is only 200 million, which is not as good as the investment of "Journey to the West"), and now the box office has recovered its cost.

If this is an ordinary movie and gets such a high box office, CCTV Group has definitely begun to celebrate.

But "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is not an ordinary movie, it is not only a film with the largest investment and the most resources invested by CCTV in the past 10 years.

More importantly, it is also the key for CCTV and Huimin Film and Television to compete for the "first brother" in the Chinese film market.

"Journey to the West" has reached 290 million at the box office in just three days.

And according to the word-of-mouth of this movie among fans, it is a sure thing that the final box office will surpass "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

This is almost an unimaginable and unacceptable fact for Han Sanpin.

You know, but when "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" received more than 80 million box office on the day of its release, he once thought that he must be the victorious side.

This is a first-day box office record that has never been created by a domestic movie!

At that time, there was jubilation in the newspapers and on the Internet, which made the people of CCTV extremely excited, and they felt that victory was just around the corner.

Next, the Hollywood movie "Terminator of the Devil 2018" was released, although it had a certain impact on the box office of "The Founding of the Nation".

But at that time, the box office of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" had reached 480 million at that time, and it was about to exceed 500 million.

Han Sanpin didn't feel threatened.

But in just one week after that, all Chinese filmmakers were shocked by the performance of another movie "Journey to the West".

Quietly, the box office of "Journey to the West" reached an astonishing figure of 290 million within 3 days of its release!

What's even more terrifying is that the daily box office revenue of this movie has no downward trend at all!

In the theaters of China's major first-tier cities, fans can't even buy tickets for the "Journey to the West" movie on the same day, and can only buy tickets for the second day or even the third day.

What kind of concept is this! This means that "Journey to the West" still maintains an astonishing attendance rate of full theaters under the huge number of films on 11,000 screens.

There are even many people who haven't seen this movie because they can't buy tickets.

All theaters can see that the box office performance of "Journey to the West" may not be more than the current performance, but it is limited by the number of screens released!

This is a movie made by a young man who has never made a commercial blockbuster movie! This is clearly a phenomenal film that wants to create a box office record for Chinese films!

CCTV has even recently received applications from its subordinate theaters, all of which suggest further increasing the number of films scheduled for "Journey to the West".

How could Yang Ying agree to this kind of application, all of them were suppressed.

If it weren't for "Transformers 2" occupying a large number of films, those private theaters might have vacated all the screens for "Journey to the West" long ago.

As the once undisputed "first brother" in the Chinese film industry, Han Sanpin and CCTV Group can only pray that "Transformers 2", a Hollywood blockbuster, will be released soon and suppress the ferocious momentum of "Journey to the West".

Huimin Film and Television Group and Chen Jing Film Company, these two private film companies that were once not taken to heart by Han Sanpin, are now gradually stretching out their claws and evolving into the most terrifying beasts, and they are about to defeat the behemoth of Central Film.

……

Just when CCTV Group and Han Sanpin were extremely worried, hoping that "Transformers 2" and "Journey to the West" would both lose.

The black hand behind the scenes, which had been targeting Peng Yichen, finally started to act.

Sitting in his office, Han Sanpin suddenly received a call that he didn't expect.

Edward Dutt, regional director of Columbia Asia Pacific, greeted with a smile on the other end of the phone, as he skillfully used half-baked Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Han! I know you have a headache right now and don't want to be defeated by a rising star." I can make Journey to the West disappear from the market, but I need your cooperation. ”

Han Sanpin's expression was frighteningly cold when he heard the words of the 'foreign devil' on the other side, and he could hear the smugness in Edward Dutt's polite greeting.

He also vaguely guessed what the other party was going to do.

"How do you want me to cooperate?"

""Transformers 2" will be released soon, Mr. Han, you must know, right?" Edward Duttchi smirked: "I hope that CCTV Group can expand the number of films scheduled for this film, and you must ensure that in the future, our Hollywood movies will not be forcibly released in advance."

In exchange, I'll help you dispose of "Journey to the West". You see, this is a fair deal!"

"Okay, I'll think about ......it," Han Sanpin said coldly.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he called Han Xiaoli, the general manager, to his office.

"What do they mean by this?" Han Xiaoli was surprisingly angry when he heard Edward's request, and slapped the table and said, "Do they think that we will help them beat their own people." ”

"They are deliberately disgusting us...... Han Sanpin slowly calmed down at this time, and muttered: "In the past two years, we have been forcibly reducing the number of films and screening time of their Hollywood movies in the summer and Chinese New Year files, and these Star Flag people will not forget. ”

In the eyes of outsiders, it is an extremely amazing victory that Peng Yichen's movies in the first two years were able to tie with Hollywood blockbusters in the summer and Chinese New Year files.

In fact, only industry insiders know that almost all Hollywood blockbusters in China have been deliberately suppressed by CCTV.

Every time the box office of these blockbusters exceeds a certain number, CCTV will force these movies to be released.

Han Sanpin and CCTV have always considered themselves the "guardians" of Chinese films, and they don't want Hollywood movies to get amazing box office in China.

Therefore, they have been secretly suppressing Hollywood's expansion of power in China.

It's a pity that the crazy growth of private cinemas in the past two years has made CCTV's forced release of Hollywood movies gradually lose its effect.

Of course, CCTV still controls nearly half of the screens in China, and it is still the most important force in the Chinese cinema chain, so Edward Dutt just put forward the conditions.

Mr. Han ...... Are you going to promise them?" Han Xiaoli heard Han Sanpin's tone wrong.

"En......" Han Sanpin showed a look of struggle: "The lesser of two evils, Minister Qin of the Ministry of Culture told me at the beginning of this year that next year the country will sign a new trade agreement with the Star Flag Country." It is very likely that the restrictions on the import of films from the Star Flag Country will be completely lifted. In other words, in the future, the films co-produced by Hollywood Film Company and Huaxia Film Company will be able to freely enter the Huaxia Film Market. If I don't become the president of the Huaxia Film Projection Association, when the restrictions open next year, I'm afraid that the Huaxia Film Market will completely fall......"

In Han Sanpin's heart, if a private company like Huimin Film and Television Group controls the Film Projection Association, not only will it not continue to restrict Hollywood films from entering China, but may cooperate with each other.

After all, everyone can see how easy it is for Hollywood blockbusters to make money in the Chinese domestic film market.

Han Sanpin didn't believe that the for-profit Huimin Film and Television Company could keep the bottom line and take the initiative to restrict Hollywood blockbusters from entering the Chinese market.

Let Hollywood blockbusters be released freely in China, in Han Sanpin's heart, it is the end of domestic movies.

Compared with the entire Chinese domestic film industry, sacrificing Peng Yichen's "Journey to the West" is nothing in his heart.

This is also the truth, but I don't know how these Xingqi people will treat Peng Yichen and Chen Jing Film Company. Han Xiaoli listened, stunned for a full few seconds, and then sighed helplessly.

"Them?" Han Sanpin said with disdain on his face: "Those businessmen in Hollywood who are full of copper smell are nothing more than those things that our ancestors played rotten. Morally discrediting you, then stirring up public sentiment, and ending up leaving you speechless. ”

"When I become the president of the projection association, I will not let go of any of these Hollywood businessmen, and I will definitely let their films go nowhere. Han Sanpin thought silently in his heart, as if this would cover up the stain of his sacrifice of Peng Yichen and "Journey to the West".

In this way, the day before the release of "Transformers 2", a huge conspiracy against Peng Yichen and "Journey to the West" is slowly taking shape.

Of course, in fact, even if Peng Yichen knew about this so-called conspiracy now, he would not have any fear or fear.

After all, in the home field of Huaxia, he believes that all foreign opponents are just paper tigers.
