Chapter 1035: MGM makes a strong comeback!

On the fifth day of the release of the two movies, "The Hobbit 3", which had been suppressed by "Canaan College", suddenly turned around.

On the fifth day, the single-day box office of "The Hobbit 3" exceeded 1.2 billion in one fell swoop, while "Canaan Academy" was only 950 million.

No one expected that "The Hobbit 3" would come to such a big reversal, not only chasing back the previous decline at one time, but even surpassing "Canaan Academy" by tens of millions.

Everyone in the world was shocked, and suddenly the situation became confusing.

The hobbit's loyal fans cheered happily and shouted one after another.

As for the fans of the Dou Po series, they are confused, and it's too strange for you to reverse.

There's no reason why the box office suddenly exploded so badly, you must know that the fifth day is Wednesday?!

Is it that everyone is so idle on Wednesday, they don't go to work, they all go to the movies......? It's weird!

But strange people are just secretly guessing, and they don't have much feeling. After all, who wins and loses in the two movies is just an after-dinner conversation for them, and there is no need to be so serious.

But for the media, it's a different story entirely.

The box office of "The Hobbit 3" was so weird, and their keen professionalism told them that MGM Pictures should have done something tricky.

But they don't have evidence, and they can only write some articles on the Internet and speculate secretly.

As soon as the box office came out on the fifth day, the film scheduling rate of "The Hobbit 3" in Europe and the United States was instantly readjusted, and the film schedule was as high as 60%. And the number of films scheduled for "Canaan College" has been adjusted to 30%.

Not only that, MGM Pictures has issued their requests to various Asian countries, hoping that each country can adjust the number of films in accordance with international economic and trade agreements.

In desperation, countries can only adjust the number of films, and for a while, the Times Group, which was originally a stable winner, fell into a very unfavorable situation.

……

Times Group, small meeting room on the 71st floor.

Suddenly receiving such news, Ye Wenxuan and Ran Yirou immediately convened all the company's senior executives for an emergency meeting.

Ye Wenxuan sat in the first place expressionlessly, put his right hand on the table, and quickly and unconsciously tapped the table with his index finger. The surrounding group executives were also sitting on chairs with solemn faces, and the atmosphere in the conference room was a little calm.

"I think everyone should know, so I'm not going to talk nonsense. There is no doubt that MGM Pictures has brushed the box office, which is basically known to everyone. Now let's talk about our thoughts, how should we solve this matter?" Ye Wenxuan asked in a deep voice.

If the other party just brushes the box office and does not affect the number of films, then Ye Wenxuan can deal with it indifferently. But after brushing the box office, it will lead to a significant reduction in the number of films scheduled, which cannot be ignored.

Now the box office of "Canaan Academy" is far from reaching the saturation period, and now reducing the number of films scheduled is undoubtedly a huge loss, and the daily loss is calculated in hundreds of millions.

"We need to solve this matter as quickly as possible, and we can't delay it. Once public opinion is tilted, it will be even more detrimental to us. Ran Yirou added on the side.

After Ye Wenxuan and Ran Yirou finished speaking, their eyes swept to the senior leaders present. Compared with before, the number of people has undoubtedly skyrocketed a lot again, and there are also a lot of foreign faces.

"Mr. Ye and Mr. Ran, as long as we get the data sheet of MGM Pictures yesterday, we can find suspicious points from it, and then report it directly to the Global Film Association and the World Economic and Trade Organization, and this matter will naturally be solved and seek justice for us. Jiang Huan said loudly.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Huan frowned slightly, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and hesitated: "But if you want to get the data sheet of MGM Pictures, this matter is very difficult." Because the data sheet is only available to MGM Pictures and the theaters it works with, it is too difficult for us to get the data sheet. ”

Jiang Huan's method is the most common way to deal with the box office, and it is also a common method in the world.

But although this method is simple, it is too difficult to operate.

"If we can get the data sheet of the other party's box office, we can also sue MGM Pictures in an international court to make the other party compensate us for our losses, and I am confident that we can win more benefits for the group!" Carter added.

Ye Wenxuan and Ran Yirou glanced at each other, and a flash of brilliance flashed in their eyes.

"Regarding the data sheet of MGM Pictures' "The Hobbit 3" yesterday, if you want to get it, who else can get it besides MGM Pictures?" asked Ye Wenxuan.

Hearing Ye Wenxuan's question, all the executives below looked at each other, all of them saying that they didn't know.

People know a lot about things in China and even in Asia, but they don't know much about things abroad.

But everyone quickly turned their attention to those foreign faces, and they were all looking forward to their speeches.

Several executives with foreign faces, seeing that everyone was looking at them, could only bite the bullet at this time.

"Boss" a black man raised his hand and gestured.

Ye Wenxuan smiled and said with a smile: "Carlisle, you say." ”

"As far as I know, the eight major Hollywood studios, the theaters they cover, are basically the same. If we want to get our hands on MGM's data sheets, we might be able to start with the other seven studios. Carlisle said eloquently.

Hearing Carlisle's words, everyone suddenly cheered up. Among the eight major film companies, Warner Pictures is its ally!

But after the excitement, I was a little worried.

Warner Pictures and MGM Pictures are both the eight major Hollywood studios, and it is really difficult for people to stick a knife in the back.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Carlisle shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It seems that there is only one way to go, and our group has nothing to do with the theater chains in Europe and the United States." So we can only start with the eight major studios, which is the only way we can do it. ”

Ye Wenxuan's face was solemn, this matter must be solved, so since this is the case, he can only give it a try.

If you fail, you really can't do it, then you have to fight with MGM to lose money.

After all, when it comes to capital flow, Times Group is not afraid of MGM Pictures. It's just that once that's the case, it can only end up being a lose-lose situation.

So until the last moment, Ye Wenxuan didn't want to make that choice.

"Okay, the meeting is here, you go back and do your duties, I will do the things that contact Warner, you keep this matter secret, do you know?" Ye Wenxuan looked around and said in a deep voice.

Everyone said yes in their hearts, and then left the conference room in a low-key manner......
