Chapter 57: Jiahe makes a move
"Today's premiere of "The Bitter War", Golden Princess Cinema announced the abolition of the theater package system!"
""The Bitter War", an unprecedented war blockbuster!"
"Yesterday, Li's wireless hotline was blown up, and the Golden Princess's eighteen theaters were screened in succession, what is the excellence of "Tragic War"!"
"Following "Shanghi Beach" and "Huo Yuanjia", I look forward to Wang Zifan's new film "Tragic War"!"
……
All the big newspapers in Hong Kong have published the news of the release of "The Bitter War", and some people are surprised that Lei Juekun is bold, and in order to make a gimmick, he actually abolished the system of cinema chain contracting. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When the news spread, independent filmmakers rushed to tell each other, and many red-eyed directors and screenwriters were eager to come out and make independent films by themselves, and then get the Golden Princess Theater to make a lot of money.
Wang Zifan is still concerned about the news of his own films, and the major newspapers and periodicals are not stingy with praise, praising "The Tragic War" to the sky, coupled with the bombardment of last night's golden advertising time, I heard that the major theaters of the Golden Princess have not yet started to open, and there are long queues at the door, countless fans are scrambling to buy tickets, and some people have made a special trip from the countryside to see the war pictures broadcast on the TV last night.
This is the first time that such a popular phenomenon has been experienced since the establishment of the Golden Princess, and the managers of major theaters reported it as soon as possible, and the situation was summarized to the theater manager Li Maowen!
"What! The fans blocked the entrance, you can't get in!"
"Your Kaisheng Theater tickets are sold out, what's next...... A third of it was sold...... Okay, I got it!"
"Hey, I'm Li Maowen, what! There is an old woman who was squeezed and fell in line, and she fell and was injured, is the injury serious? Send her to the hospital immediately!"
……
After hanging up the phone, Li Maowen wiped his sweat as if he had finished a war, and hurriedly rushed to Lei Juekun to report the situation!
"Mr. Lei, great joy!"
"Manager Li, what's the fuss?" Lei Juekun still showed displeasure on his face, early in the morning, he was in a hurry, and he was seen by the employees what it looked like.
"Mr. Lei......" Li Maowen hurriedly reported the situation, and said with a smile: "Our Golden Princess has not exceeded 60% of the theater attendance rate since it opened, and the average attendance rate is only a few 40%, and the first show today broke the attendance record, thanks to Mr. Lei's discernment and talent!"
Full?
Hearing the good news from the major theaters under the command of Princess Jin, Lei Juekun pretended to be calm, and when Li Maowen left, he nodded with relief, the Golden Princess Company is not his alone, it implements a shareholding system, he accounts for 71.2%, another shareholder Chen Rongmei holds 16.6% of the shares, Feng Bingzhong holds 11.2%, and the theater manager Mr. Li Maowen owns 1% of the shares.
The establishment of a cinema chain can't make money, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong often complain to Lei Juekun, although they didn't explicitly quit, but the meaning has been expressed, Lei Juekun felt the crisis, so he rushed to the hospital and recruited Wang Zifan and other independent filmmakers, now it seems that he made the right move, and Wang Zifan did not disappoint him.
It's time to think about how to move on!
Lei Juekun's eyes are old and spicy, and he can see at a glance the weaknesses of Wang Zifan and DreamWorks, the company was established not long ago, the people are not even, and they all rely on money to maintain, as long as he makes a move, he will definitely make a gain, but he is afraid that Wang Zifan will turn his face afterwards and give him a chicken and egg to beat, and he is more worried that what he has dug up is mediocre, and the bamboo basket is empty.
All kinds of scruples in his heart have now become a reality, and Wang Zifan brought Princess Jin back to life as soon as he made a move, so his big words about letting Princess Jin stand with Jiahe and the Wei family in half a year may also be true.
What about a year from now?
And in three years!
Lei Juekun's face changed uncertainly, if he parted ways because of forced shares, was it because of a small loss?
……
At the same time, Golden Harvest
Zou Wenhuai read all the newspapers and periodicals such as "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and other newspapers and periodicals, and every newspaper reported that Princess Jin canceled the bottom system of the cinema line, and she didn't make any money, and she didn't know what Lei Juekun was thinking, and that Wang Zifan, who was too fast, and participated in the celebration banquet held by Golden Harvest last night, and today the film will be released in the Golden Princess Theater!
"Ah Chang, how is the situation in the theater today?"
"It's very usual!" He Guanchang yawned and said, last night he and Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Mecca were crazy for a night, old, and his body was a little unbearable, and he was called by Zou Wenhuai early in the morning, how could he be in the mood to work, and said perfunctorily: "Ah Huai, don't worry, Lei Juekun wants to rely on a film to counterattack, it's just whimsical......"
Knock knock!
After knocking twice, Cai Yongchang directly pushed the door in, and said with a calm face: "Ah Huai, the Golden Princess Theater is full!"
"It's full, it's impossible!" He Guanchang's face turned red, no one paid attention to him, and he stood there as if he had been pointed.
Zou Wenhuai frowned: "It's full in the morning?"
Cai Yongchang sighed: "The hot scene is unbelievable, I watched the promotional video last night, it should be cut out!"
He Guanchang stammered: "The first show on the first day was full! This is a sign of breaking the box office record!"
Cai Yongchang was silent, the films produced by Li Xiaolong and Xu Guanwen broke box office records one after another, and the first show on the first day was also full, and then it was out of control, and it was possible to sell out for a month in a row!
Zou Wenhuai regretted it in his heart, when "Huo Yuanjia" was on the air, he noticed Wang Zifan, and now he is still being slapped on the head, covering his forehead, which hurts very much!
"It's me who underestimated him!"
"Do you want to stop touching contact?"
"It's too late to find him now!"
Regarding He Guanchang's proposal, Cai Yongchang shook his head again and again, Wang Zifan is now Lei Juekun's life-saving straw, how can it be so easy to win over!
Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said: "Compared with Wang Zifan, Lei Juekun's cancellation of the theater package system is more worthy of our vigilance, you look at the newspaper blowing them, I believe there will be many independent filmmakers who are excited, this is the most troublesome, everyone will take the film to the Golden Princess for release, this is too serious, and even directly threatens our Golden Harvest Film Source!"
He Guanchang frowned, but he felt that the top priority now was to defeat "The Bitter War", while hurting Lei Juekun, it could also play a role in killing chickens and monkeys, so that those independent filmmakers outside could see, no matter how wonderful your movie is, as long as it is not released by Golden Harvest, we can still break you!
"Ah Huai, I think we ......"
Zou Wenhuai directly waved his hand to stop it, and ordered: "Ah Chang, you immediately call our overseas partners, let them unite to resist "Painful War", and don't let Lei Juekun make a penny in other cities!"
Cai Yongchang praised: "This is a good idea, even if the film is sold again in this port and there is no overseas profit, it is impossible for Wang Zifan to mess with Lei Juekun!
When He Guanchang heard this, he swallowed back everything he wanted to say, this idea sounds appalling, but as long as Golden Harvest and Shan Shi unite, there is indeed a possibility of success, as long as Golden Harvest Company and Shan Company refuse to release "The Bitter War" in hundreds of theaters in Nanyang, plus they are behind it, this film will be settled.
