When Wang Zhongjun walked into the small conference room of China Film Group, he saw Zhang Ran and Han Shanping sitting in the center chatting, next to Yu Dong, the boss of Bona, and Wu Kebo, the boss of Orange Sky Entertainment, drinking tea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Wang, it's been a long time!" Zhang Ran nodded at Wang Zhongjun with a smile and beckoned, "Please take a seat." ”

"Zhang Ran, I didn't expect you to be here, you are a busy person now. For Zhang Ran, Wang Zhongjun hated and feared, snorted, and then pulled out a chair and sat down. He was very puzzled in his heart, the bosses of the four largest private film companies in China are here, what does Han Shanping want to do when he gathers everyone?

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Shanping cleared his throat and said, "Everyone has arrived, then let's start!" He turned his head to look at Zhang Ran and said, "You are the initiator of this matter, or you should come to it!"

Wang Zhongjun's hand trembled, Zhang Ran is the initiator, what is this, it can't be for Hua Yi, right?

Yu Dong and Wu Kebo both raised their eyes to look at Zhang Ran, they always thought that it was Han Shanping who picked the head.

Zhang Ran didn't shirk it, and said directly: "We are all people in the same circle, and there have been frictions and even conflicts between each other, but sitting here today, we only have one common identity, producer." We all know that the share ratio of domestic films is about 41% for the producer, and 59% for the theater chain, but before that, we have to pay 5% of the special funds for the film industry, as well as pay 3.3% of the special business tax, we can only share the remaining 91.7%, if a movie ticket is 100 yuan, we can actually only get 37.6 yuan. Most of the profits have been taken away by the theater chain, and now the state-owned old film studios have closed down because of the dismal efficiency, but the theater business is in full swing and very hot, and the reason is in this place. This is also the root of why Wanda and other cinema chains are trying their best to expand their own cinema chains and theaters. But for those of us who make movies, it's really unfair, and I invite you to come today, with only one purpose, which is to increase the share ratio!"

They were shocked to hear that Wang Zhongjun had increased the sharing ratio to 41% in 04 when Zhang Weiping was in "Ambush on All Sides", and it has been more than three years now, and the film's scoring achievements have never changed. In three years, the box office of the Chinese film market has doubled, and the number of screens has increased by thousands. Almost all film companies feel that the 41% share ratio is too low, and filmmakers are quite smiling when it comes to sharing, but everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak.

Now someone has finally picked the head, and this person has enough strength!

Yu Dongma said: "This question should have been raised a long time ago, our share is really too low, and the American producers have to take 60%; and from the upstream and downstream of the film industry, the upstream production risk is greater than the investment risk of the downstream theater chain, and it is more fair to increase the box office revenue." ”

Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but say: "If Chinese films want to go global, they must be in line with international standards, and reasonable market rules must be formulated. We invested 80 million in "Assembly", and if the box office is 200 million, we can get a box office of 75.2 million, and we can't get back to the cost at all, and the pressure is really great. It's really unfair that their movie theater is completely lying down to make money, and they still take a big head!"

Orange Sky Entertainment has not long entered the entertainment industry, and has just set foot in the film industry, but there are two of their movies in this year's Chinese New Year, Wu Kebo is also clear about the share, and immediately echoed: "I support the increase in share, it is better to increase it like Hollywood, we take 60%, and the cinema takes 4%, this is not for our personal interests, all domestic film companies and filmmakers will benefit, I raise my hands to support!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "In Hollywood, the box office of movies only accounts for 20% of the film revenue, and the large companies are supported by media groups, so the six Hollywood majors are particularly strong and can get 60%, while we are completely the opposite, the box office revenue accounts for 80%, so the theater chain is strong." In the face of a strong cinema chain, if we rely on individuals alone, it is almost impossible to compete with it, and I invite you to come over today, just to hope that several of our big production companies will unite and put pressure on the theater chain during the Chinese New Year, and increase the proportion of account sharing from 41% to 45%, an increase of four percentage points! This year, the national box office is expected to be close to 6 billion, and domestic films are about 3 billion, according to this ratio, our producers can get 110 million more!"

What the?

That's an increase of 4 percentage points!

Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong only felt that their breathing was slightly stagnant, and their hearts were beating violently, they originally thought that Zhang Ran would ask for a two-percentage point increase in the share at most, but they didn't expect Zhang Ran to want to increase it by four percentage points.

China Film Group is also involved in this matter, is this what the General Administration means?

Yu Dong took a sip of the teacup, and his eyes fell on Han Shanping's face: "Mr. Han, is this what it means?"

"How can the above care about this, this is what Zhang Ran and I think. Han Shanping smiled lightly, "In business, we can't count on everything, when it comes to our own interests, we still have to rely on ourselves." There is a lyric in the Internationale, there has never been a savior, and it does not depend on the immortal emperor. It is up to us to create the happiness of mankind!"

Hearing that it was not the meaning of the General Administration, Yu Dong and them were a little disappointed in their hearts, if it was the meaning of the General Administration, then the matter would be simple.

Now it's just China Film and Century Peak that are the leaders, then they have to think about it, China Film and Century Peak are giants, and if they start a war with the theater chain, the theater chain will not dare to do anything to them, what if the theater chain sprinkles their anger on themselves?

Wang Zhongjun even doubted that this would be Zhang Ran's trick to make Huayi and the theater chain have a conflict and enter to destroy Huayi.

Han Shanping saw that Yu Dong and they were all silent, knowing their thoughts, and looked at Zhang Ran with a smile, what does it mean, just like I said!

Zhang Ran smiled at Han Shanping and said: "In the Chinese New Year file in December, there are only domestic blockbusters, no imported films are released, and the theater chain can only show domestic films, and the theater chain has no other choice but to accept our request." In addition, don't forget that the Chinese movie star theater line ranks first in the country, and our Century Peak theater line ranks fourth in the country, and in the first eleven months of this year, the box office of our two theaters accounted for more than 20%. If they boycott our films, we still have a place to show them, but if we boycott them, then their cinemas will be empty!"

Wang Zhongjun's eyes flashed, looked at Zhang Ran and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you have Golden Harvest Cinema in your hand, and Mr. Han has Chinese film star beauty in your hand, since it is the two of you who are the leaders, can we sign the contract with the two of you first, your cinema line will take 55%, and we will get 45% for distribution." ”

Yu Dong and Wu Kebo's eyes suddenly focused on Zhang Ran's face, yes, since you are the one who takes the lead, then you should play a good role as an example!

Zhang Ran spread out the two sides and said lightly: "Of course you can." However, I also have one condition, since we are now doing this in a group, and we are comrades-in-arms in the same trench, then we must advance and retreat together, and we must not have two hearts. We will write in the contract that if anyone goes behind our back and reaches a private agreement with the opponent, then the contract between us will be null and void, and the cinemas under China Film and Century Summit will boycott your film!"

Yu Dong immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? You obviously don't trust us!"

Zhang Ran couldn't help sneering in his heart, others don't know who you are, don't I know? When "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was released, Zhang Weiping fought the eight theaters alone in order to increase the share to 45%, what did you do in Yu Dong? You even claimed that our "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" would not increase the share. In 12 years, when the five major distributors started a war with thirteen theaters in order to increase their share, you, Wang Zhongjun, took "1942" and ran away first, causing the alliance of the five major distributors to collapse.

In fact, Zhang Ran originally wanted to pull Zhongying to do it by himself, but he was worried that there would be an encounter like Zhang Weiping, so he rushed to the front, but Yu Dong and they fell into the well behind, one said that Zhang Ran and they would not rise, and the other shouted to block "Tangshan Earthquake", let's make up for the vacancy in this schedule. In order to prevent bullets from coming from behind, Zhang Ran decided to tie them to his chariot.

Zhang Ran leaned back in the chair very comfortably, raised his face slightly, and said lightly: "I don't believe in everyone, but to prevent our alliance from being broken by each other." It's a real fight, and I don't want to face bullets from my own back, so I need to take a little precautions. ”

Yu Dong frowned and said, "What if you quit first?"

Han Shanping said directly: "We can add an article to the contract, if we China Film and Century Peak withdraw first, then your film will maintain a 45% share, what do you think?"

Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "I agree!"

Wang Zhongjun also said: "I don't have an opinion!"

In the office of the general manager of the magic capital United Cinema Line, Wu Hehu is looking at the arrangements for the next few days, which is about to enter December, and the Chinese New Year file is about to begin, and the distributors are organizing film viewing meetings one after another, so that the theater manager can see the quality of the film, and on the basis of watching the film, everyone can negotiate the contract, so that the theater can arrange the film on the basis of predicting the film.

The secretary pushed open the door and said anxiously: "Mr. Wu, something happened!"

Wu Hehu knew that his secretary was usually very calm, and with such a big reaction, something should have happened, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The secretary hurriedly put a document in his hand in front of Wu Hehu: "Mr. Wu, China Film and their five cinemas have sent us a joint notice, can you take a look?"

Wu Hehu glanced at the document, the title was "Notice on Adjusting the Proportion of Domestic Films", and after reading the following content, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart fell to the bottom.

The notice reads: "In recent years, the production level of domestic films has gradually improved, and domestic blockbusters have made a significant contribution to enriching China's film market. However, due to the application of a large number of new production technologies and the exponential increase in labor costs, the production cost of the film is also rising rapidly. In order to prosper the creation and production of domestic films, improve the production quality of domestic films, and gradually straighten out the economic relations between production, distribution and screening, China Group Beiping Distribution Branch, Century Summit Pictures, Huayi Brothers Pictures, Bona Films, and Orange Sky Entertainment have reached a consensus through consultation: "Tangshan Earthquake", "Casting Names", "Assembly Number", "Jiangshan Beauty", "Slam Dunk", "Love Call Transfer", and "Stick Tiger Chicken" released since the 2007 Chinese New Year Starting from the "Domestic Film Box Office Sharing Distribution and Screening Contract" signed by the five companies for the distribution of domestic films, the box office sharing ratio between the distributor and the cinema chain will not be less than 45%:55%. ”

Underneath the notice, the seals of the five companies, the bright red mud stabbing people's eyes.

Wu Hehu's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and it took a while before he spit out a sentence: "You guys are going to fight!"
