"Peach Blossom Luck" is willing to operate according to the previous box office share ratio, and the theater chain will definitely support it, so that it will not cause other Chinese New Year movies to follow up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For theaters, even if the negotiations with the five major distributors collapse, there will be no films to play.

If other film companies come out to pick this head, they can completely block it with the strength of China Film and the peak of the century, but the Yindu Organization is under the leadership of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government and is the window of the country's external propaganda.

Zhao Jun and they pulled the Yindu organization out of the platform, this hand is really powerful!

In the corner of the hall, Han Shanping turned his head to look at Zhao Jun next to him, and said coldly: "Lao Zhao, we sincerely came to participate in the cocktail party, but you are doing this, this is a demonstration to us!"

Zhao Jun snorted and said, "Old Han, we don't mean this, you think too much!"

Wu Hehu said very directly: "Mr. Han, your film company is in the upstream, and our theater chain is downstream, but you have to make it clear that we are in the upstream and downstream relationship, not the relationship between superiors and subordinates, what is the matter with you sending us a notice? It is completely the tone of the command from the superior to the subordinate, and you are unreasonable!"

These words are indeed reasonable, Han Shanping can't refute it, he glanced at Zhang Ran helplessly, I told you at the beginning, ask them out to talk through the Producers Association, you have to insist on sending notices, you see that you are passive now!

Zhang Ran pretended not to see it, this state is exactly what he wants, he just wants to make this matter bigger, only if the matter is made big, will it attract the attention of the above, and only when the matter is made big, will the above come out to clean up the mess, only in this way, one of the countless chains tied to the Chinese film body may be slightly loosened.

There are too many chains tied to Chinese films, and Chinese films are dancing with chains, and if you don't untie these chains, it will be difficult for Chinese films to really rise!

Zhang Ran looked at the trailer of "Peach Blossom Luck" playing on the big screen, and said confidently: ""Peach Blossom Luck" can't affect the overall situation, the key to negotiation depends on the quality of "Casting Names", "Assembly Number" and "Tangshan Earthquake", there is nothing to fight about now, if you have anything to say, let's wait until tomorrow after watching the movie!"

Zhao Jun and Wu Hehu glanced at each other, things are indeed as Zhang Ran said, tomorrow is the time for the real decisive battle!

After the reception, Yu Dong and Wang Zhongjun both received a text message from Zhao Jun, asking them to sit at a nearby bar, but Yu Dong refused without hesitation; Wang Zhongjun hesitated and finally chose to go to the appointment.

Entering the private room of the bar, after a brief chat, Wang Zhongjun expressed his attitude: ""The Assembly" invested 80 million, and we expect the box office to be about 200 million, according to 41%, we can only share 75.2 million, and we still lose money. If we divide it by 45%, we will be able to divide 82.53 million, can I not care?"

Wu Hehu said coldly: "But have you thought about it, if we divide the account according to 45%, our loss will not be millions, do you think we will still support you in the film schedule? Without the support of our theater chain, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get 70 million!"

Zeng Maojun, president of Wanda Cinema Line, also said: "Zhongjun, do you want those 4 points, or the support of the cinema line, but you have to think clearly!"

Facing the pressing of several theater representatives, Wang Zhongjun smiled bitterly: "A few old brothers, I didn't want to get involved in this matter, it was Han Shanping who dug a pit for me, he asked me to attend the meeting, and I didn't know that it was this matter until I arrived, in that case, even if I wanted to quit, it was impossible to retreat!"

Zhao Jun patted Wang Zhongjun on the shoulder: "Zhongjun, if you quit now, thirty-one cinema lines will support you!"

Wang Zhongjun shook his head and said: "Han Shanping and Zhang Ran have already let go, if I quit, the theaters under China Film and Century Summit will block me, and the share of China Film and Century Peak's theaters will add up to 20%, even if you can give me a little more, but can you give me 20% more? In this case, do you say I can quit?"

Zeng Maojun said coldly: "Don't forget, we have an 80% share, and if you don't quit, you will be our enemy!"

Wu Hehu looked at Wang Zhongjun and said: "If you don't quit, you will be the enemy of our thirty-one cinema lines, and we will treat your Huayi movies differently in the future, and we will try to arrange as little as possible!"

Wang Zhongjun's face changed, and he just wanted to ask why, but he immediately reacted, among the five major distributors, China Film is a direct unit of the General Administration, and the theater chain does not dare to provoke it; Zhang Ran is too rich to easily comply; what can really be used to open the knife is Orange Sky Entertainment, Bona and Huayi, Orange Sky is a newcomer in the film industry, even if he wins it, it will not be of much significance; and Bona's "Vote for Fame" has Li Lianjie, and it is a costume blockbuster, even if it is not released in China, it can be counted on overseas, and Yu Dong is not easy to succumb; and Huayi's "Assembly Number" It's a war movie, there is no hope overseas, you can only rely on China, if the theater chain boycotts it comprehensively, then "Assembly" will inevitably fail miserably!

Based on these reasons, it is not surprising that the theater chain will use Huayi as a breakthrough, as long as Huayi withdraws, the pressure on Bona will be greater, because the schedules of "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number" are relatively close, only one week apart. At that time, the theater chain will put pressure on Bona again, and in order to keep his own film schedule, Bona can only withdraw.

As a result, the alliance of the five major publishers collapsed!

Wang Zhongjun's heart was like ashes, and he kept drinking the wine in the cup, but the more he drank, the more desperate he became.

Zhao Jun and Wang Zhongjun have a good relationship, seeing that Wang Zhongjun's face is gloomy, he has some sympathy, but he still hardens his heart: "Zhongjun, what are you going to do now?"

Wang Zhongjun sighed, rubbed his forehead, and said with a broken face: "Brothers, aren't we just met, and it's not the first time we've cooperated, don't you force me to do it?

There were no reporters present at the evening cocktail party, but the vast number of media still knew what happened at the cocktail party, and the next morning, many domestic media headlines were almost all ""Peach Blossom Luck" withdraws from the account sharing dispute, and the theater chain will vigorously support the film".

After this news came out, it naturally caused a heated discussion inside and outside the circle, and everyone was discussing the direction of this matter.

At the same time, in a screening room in the Legendary Times Film City, representatives of more than 30 theater managers and people from the five major distributors are waiting for the film to begin, and the upcoming screening is the costume blockbuster "Casting Names" directed by Chen Kexin and starring Li Lianjie and Andy Lau.

"Mr. Zhang, how about you take a look at "Casting Names", if you think it's okay, let's see if you can let Summit Entertainment release it, there are many filmmakers who are interested in "Casting Names", but I believe you more!" Yu Dong said to Zhang Ran in a low voice.

In fact, Yu Dong is bragging, he ran to several film festivals with "Vote for Fame" this year, but the overseas copyright has never been sold. The film invested 40 million US dollars, and if the overseas rights could not be sold, it would lose a lot of money. Therefore, Yu Dong was a little anxious, he knew that Zhang Ran had a film company in North America, and recently acquired a DVD rental company, so he hoped that Zhang Ran could buy the North American copyright of "Casting a Name" and distribute it in North America.

Zhang Ran had watched "Casting a Name" before, and remembered that the movie was shot well, but the box office didn't seem to be very good, and it was a fiasco at home, and it was a fiasco overseas, but Yu Dong came to the door, and he couldn't refuse it directly, so he could only say that he would take a look.

The lights in the screening room went out, and immediately after, a bright light appeared on the screen and the movie began to play.

"Vote for Fame" roughly tells such a story, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the war continued and the people were struggling to make a living, Pang Qingyun was betrayed by his colleagues, and the army he led did not survive. Pang Qingyun, who escaped with his life, got acquainted with the robbers Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang, and the three of them joined the army with the robbers. This army fought hard and won many victories. It's just that the higher they climb, Pang Qingyun becomes more and more ambitious, and the three brothers gradually disagree. In the face of the fraud of the imperial court, the darkness of the government, and the expansion of ambitions, the three brothers who had accepted the nomination finally killed each other.

Chen Kexin is a typical craftsman director, almost all of the films are good-looking, the plot is compact, and the quality of the movies is relatively high, but his films are not particularly artistic, and when it comes to art film directors, he is generally not mentioned. There are many directors like Chen Kexin in Hollywood, but this kind of director is most lacking in China.

"Casting a Name" maintains Chen Kexin's consistent level, the overall quality of the movie is relatively high, the shooting is very neat, the plot is excellent, and the story is fascinating, among which the war scene of the Battle of Shucheng is particularly exciting, and the whole movie should be a particularly outstanding domestic costume blockbuster in recent years.

However, "Casting the Name" is not a movie that makes people feel very comfortable after watching it, this discomfort lies in the fact that the movie is a deconstruction of traditional Chinese brotherhood, "Casting the Name" tells a story similar to Taoyuan's righteousness, and Peking Opera is also interspersed with Peking Opera many times in the movie, and the content of Peking Opera happens to be Liu Guanzhang, which is a very obvious hint, but this traditional brotherhood in "Casting Names" is fragile and hypocritical.

In traditional Chinese culture, "loyalty" has always occupied an important position, which is a very important connotation of traditional Chinese morality. The reason why the story of "Taoyuan Three Knots" has been passed down for centuries is because it carries forward this spiritual spirit. Now what "Vote for Fame" shows is the opposite of everyone's values, and for many viewers, he must know that the movie is deconstructing loyalty, but after watching it, he will instinctively feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Ran has always been unable to understand why many domestic directors always like to reflect and criticize, and always like to go down the dark road, as if they are uncomfortable if they are comfortable with the audience.

At the end of the 120-minute movie, the lights in the screening room came on.

Yu Dong lowered his voice and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's really good!" Zhang Ran affirmed the quality of the movie, "But I advise you not to have any hope for North America, Li Lianjie's main selling point in North America is to play, and he didn't play much in "Vote for Fame", so it is not easy to sell." ”

Yu Dong sighed slightly, at the film festival, North American filmmakers knew that "Casting the Name" was starring Li Lianjie, and there were not a few people who came to ask, but after hearing that Li Lianjie didn't fight, many people turned around and left, but I didn't expect Zhang Ran to say the same, "Casting the Name" seems to be no drama overseas.

"This movie is very well made!" Wu Hehu is a straight person, "I have the urge to watch the movie a second time after watching it." The movie costs a lot of money, and the whole story is told very well, and the audience is completely led by the film. ”

Yu Dong laughed when he heard this: "When I heard Mr. Wu say this, I was relieved!"

Not only Wu Hehu, but also the CEOs of other theaters present gave very good feedback, all of them thought that "Casting Names" showed a bloody and bloody picture of the troubled times in the late Qing Dynasty, with the flavor of an epic film;

Zhang Ran couldn't help but glance at Han Shanping when he saw the theater managers praising "Vote for Fame" without reservation, both of them looked a little dignified, it seems that the theater is very confident in the negotiation, and the negotiation in the afternoon should be a bitter battle!
