Chapter 418: I Say, No!
"Mr. Hu, our bottom line is, four into eight! This is our final bottom line, we can't change it because of you, this is also the rule!" Zhou Fei said in a deep voice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, Mr. Hu, this is the rule formulated by all our Chinese theaters, except for Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, a big director of this level can get a fifty percent share of the box office, and other directors must get a share according to their level!"
"Yes, Mr. Hu, although you are amazingly talented, but after all, this is your second movie, we can't break the rules because of you, as the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle!
Hu Yu looked at Zhou Fei, Sun Zhizi and Liang Chang with a sneer, rules, what kind of bullshit rules?
This so-called rule is just deliberately set by the three major theaters to make money!
The final interpretation of this rule is in the hands of the three major cinema chains. And there is only one purpose, that is, to make money, to make a lot of money!
Moreover, Hu Yu has to admit that the three major theaters are playing very slippery.
They play levels, divide the directors into several levels, and if they are forced to be big, they choose to compromise, and everyone is divided into fives, hello, I am good, everyone is good together!
If you are a little less famous, then you will be embarrassed, and you will be given a share of four into nine, four into eight, what, you want to share five or five? impossible!
Then, it's four into seven, four out of six!
The lower the fame, the lower the share, and some rookie directors can only get a share of four or five percent.
In this way, those well-known directors and giants will all favor the three major theater chains, because they themselves have not suffered any losses.
On the contrary, they can maximize their benefits!
Therefore, with this hand, the three major theater chains have successfully held the entire Chinese film circle hostage, and the directors who are weak can only cooperate with them to play like this, if they don't play, it is impossible to even put it on the shelves.
What's more, led by the three major cinema chains, all the cinema chains in Huaxia have signed an offensive and defensive alliance!
The content of this alliance is to uphold this rule.
This rule is also very beneficial to a number of small theaters, so this kind of rule has become a rule on the surface, and anyone must support this rule.
Those who didn't support it were all eliminated by them together, for a very simple reason, because Huaxia did not allow such an awesome theater to exist.
Therefore, although all filmmakers know that Huaxia Cinema Line is harmful to Huaxia Films, they can only occasionally shout slogans, after all, the real power is in the hands of others, and there is no substantive action.
You must know that if the film industry wants to flourish, it must have a good development environment, what is a good development environment?
That's the environment that benefits the majority.
Why do people play movies? Directors are trying to be famous and make a lot of money, while investors are even simpler to make a lot of money.
But now, theaters play like this, and there will be fewer benefits to investors, less interests, fewer investors, fewer investors, fewer directors who make movies, fewer directors who make movies, and it will be difficult for new directors to get ahead, which will form a vicious circle!
Many Chinese people say that why Hollywood's big directors emerge in endlessly, but Huaxia can't produce big directors, it's because Huaxia's theaters are too dark.
Because the living environment of Hollywood directors is much better than that of Huaxia, in Hollywood, no matter who they are, they can share the box office equally with the theater chain, and in order to support the development of films, the United States has also set up a special director development fund, and every new director can take out a loan from this fund to make movies!
In this way, there are naturally many new directors in Hollywood, and the base of directors is large, and the probability of producing excellent directors is naturally greater.
That's why Hollywood is getting stronger and stronger.
So the question is, don't people of insight in China know the disadvantages of monopoly in theaters?
Know, but, know to know, want them to make the first bird, that's impossible!
Even Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang only dared to complain, it was impossible to really let them go against the cinema line.
Let's get back to business.
Seeing Hu Yu sneering, Sun Zhizi's face immediately became unsightly.
As the senior leader of the three major cinema chains, Sun Zhizi is arrogant.
You must know that even if it is Wang Zhongjun, a person of Wang Zhonglei's level, does not dare to despise him.
But Hu Yu actually sneered?
"Hu Yu, what do you mean by that?" Sun Zhizi's tone was a little rushed.
"What do you mean? I mean, you are so insincere, you want to send me away, how is it possible?" Hu Yu said coldly.
"Mr. Hu, we have already given you a lot of face, even Director Feng and Director Zhang will not be able to get such a high box office share in the second movie!" Zhou Fei said.
"But, when they debuted, were they as powerful as me?" Hu Yu asked rhetorically.
"That's why we're giving you a forty-eighty share, and our positioning for you is not low!"
"I want to know, how much share do you give Chen Guo?" Hu Yu asked.
"Director Chen Guo?" Zhou Fei was slightly stunned, then glanced at Sun Zhizi and Liang Chang, and saw that they didn't make a sound, so he replied, "Director Chen Guo is a well-known veteran director after all, and his strength and reputation are very high, plus the lineup this time is very grand, so we gave him a fifty percent share!"
"Fifty percent?" Hu Yu let out a sneer.
At this moment, Hu Yu felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, even Chen Guo could get five percent, and he could only get four percent eight?
Hu Yu was very unhappy.
"Mr. Hu, how much do you want?" asked Zhou Fei.
"Not much, fifty-fifty points!" Hu Yu replied.
"What? This is impossible! We can't give you a 50% share of a rookie director, this is not in accordance with the rules!" Before Zhou Fei could speak, Sun Zhizi spoke.
And Liang Chang also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Hu, we admit that you are very powerful, but we can't give you a fifty percent share, you will make it difficult for us to do this!"
Zhou Fei also showed a wry smile and said: "Mr. Hu, if you want to divide four into nine, we still have the possibility to discuss, but five or five shares, this is absolutely impossible!"
The 50% share has exceeded the bottom line of the three major theater chains.
"No room for negotiation?" Hu Yu asked.
"No!" Zhou Fei replied categorically.
"Well, it looks like we don't have anything to talk about!" Hu Yu said with a smile.
"Mr. Hu, don't you think about it anymore? I can tell you responsibly, no theater will accept your request!" Zhou Fei said in a deep voice.
Hu Yu shook his head, "We don't have anything to say, several, I still have a meeting to convene!"
Hu Yu directly issued an order to evict customers.
Zhou Fei and the three of them also understood.
The three of them left one after another, and when they were leaving, Sun Zhizi said to Hu Yu: "Hu Yu, you will regret it, who do you think you are, and dare to challenge the rules we set?"
