The second watch, there are three more today, I didn't expect the status card to be on the shelves during this time.

Recently, it has been adjusted, and the results are also a little unsatisfactory because of the quality, while saying sorry, I still hope that everyone can subscribe to support Xiao Ai, and ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes!

――

"Justin Chen's eyes were lost in the eyes of a short-lived success, and this is the stupidest promise in the history of cinema!"

Seeing the last sentence, Scarlett picked up the newspaper in her hand and walked directly to the trash can.

The men who were about to read the newspaper on the side looked at each other and watched as Scarlett threw the newspaper out of the trash.

There aren't many people who think the same way as Scarlett, and Alice and Roger are among the few, though they're also worried about Chen Tian's engagement with 20th Century Fox.

But they still firmly believe that Chen Tian will be able to complete this work well in a year.

Just when the media paid attention to Chen Tian, David Ellison and 20th Century Fox, the official website of "Yahoo Entertainment" broke the news that Chen Tian snatched the best-selling book "The Queen Wears Prada" from 20th Century Fox.

This news was revealed by David Ellison himself, and "Yahoo Entertainment" was naturally happy to cooperate.

"Justin Chan is still going to shoot 'The Queen Wears Prada'? Will he be able to shoot it well? Isn't he preparing a $100 million system?"

"yes, is his $100 million system just an excuse to snatch The Queen Wears Prada from 20th Century Fox?"

"This novel is so classic, can Justin Chen make it well? I really don't want him to waste such a good script. ”

"I love this film to death, I don't know who will play Andy. Who will play Miranda, this is a test of acting skills. Hopefully, Justin won't make this good book. ”

……

Soon there was a lot of talk about the news on major forums, not just fans of the super-bestseller. There are also many people who love movies.

There are doubts, there is support, there is agreement, and this is what David Ellison wants to see.

"Matthew, is it true that you were robbed of The Queen Wears Prada?"

"What do you think about this, and do you think he violated certain principles by doing this?"

"Matthew, will 20th Century Fox take certain sanctions against Justin Chen for this, such as severing the cooperation that may exist in the future?"

"Who do you think will win this $100 million deal?"

……

As soon as Matthew Runte arrived at Lincoln Center, he was surrounded by reporters.

Looking at the long gun and short cannon in front of him, Matthew Lunnd, who had adjusted after a night, sneered.

"At least I've never seen anything like it, and I think he needs to think about it, and the only thing I can say is that I hope he can make this film. Matthew Runt did not continue to answer reporters' questions and walked away.

Although only one script was lost. But for 20th Century Fox, the script was undoubtedly slapped hard by Chen Tian and David Ellison.

No one had ever dared to play such a nonsensical card in front of them, which not only disgraced Matthew Runte, but also angered the top brass of 20th Century Fox.

Just as Chen Tian and Anne Hathaway were heading to the Jackson Café in Manhattan to meet Lauren Weisberg, the author of "The Queen Wears Prada," Fox entered into new negotiations with six major theater chains in the United States.

20th Century Fox came up with a new share agreement for five films: "Sin Eater," "Runaway Jury," "Angry Sea," "Close Brothers," and "A Basket of Children," which will be released at the end of this year.

"Yes, you heard it right, we will propose a new account-sharing agreement for these five works, and I am sure you will be satisfied. Matthew Runte said, looking at the computer screen.

At the moment, he is negotiating with the six largest theater chains in the United States, and this is also the order given by the company's senior management in the morning.

Among them, "The Angry Sea" is the work that Fox hopes to hit the Oscars next year, and "A Basket of Children" is the work that Fox expects to end perfectly in 2003 and start 2004.

According to the division between Fox and the theater chain in the past, it is normal to follow the principle of "with-floor-of-70%".

That is, the box office does not subtract the fixed expenses of the cinema. Multiply the box office by 70% to get the revenue that the theater distributes to Fox.

From the second week onwards, this coefficient will gradually decrease with the number of weeks of release, and the specific decline rate will be determined according to the film.

There have been few changes since last year's negotiations on such a split agreement, and Matthew Lunt suddenly offered to negotiate a new one. The six major cinema chains are still a little repulsive.

General Motors, United Arts, AMC, Carmic, and Marcus are now the top six theater chains in the United States, although among the more than 30,000 screens in the United States, the six major theater chains only control 14,000 screens.

But this 45% of the screen basically accounts for 80% of the box office revenue in the United States, which means that the remaining companies occupy more than half of the screen and only hold 20% of the box office.

When they see who is going to participate in the web video conference. In their hearts, they subconsciously thought that this was a meeting held by Fox to improve the account-sharing agreement, but the result was beyond their expectations.

The person in charge of the negotiation of the six major cinema chains. Some did not believe their ears, and Matthew Lunt not only did not ask for an increase in the account-sharing agreement, but proposed to privately divide more.

Colin Shaun. AMC, who is now the marketing manager of AMC, the second largest cinema chain in the United States, represented AMC at the meeting today: "Matthew, you just said that you want to give us another 1% in the first week?

Are you sure you're not saying that you're going to give us another 1%?"

Colin Sean voiced everyone's doubts, and Matthew Runt laughed: "Of course I heard you right, this is a little bit of our 20th Century Fox heart. ”

Colin Sean and the other five people thought the same thing, and they all felt that it wasn't that simple.

They didn't believe in pie-in-the-sky thing, but they wanted to hear Fawkes's request.

"Matthew, what do you want?" Colin Sean offered to ask.

Matthew Runt laughed, "There is one small thing, and that is that we want you to give a little help to the upcoming "Hard Candy" and "Little Miss Sunshine." ”

The person in charge of the six major theater chains immediately understood, and immediately linked this matter with the agreement that broke out yesterday and the fact that Fox was robbed of the script by Chen Tian and the Ellison brothers and sisters today.

"I know it's a bit unconventional, and we'll be letting out some of it when Operation Smith comes out if we can.

And next year's or even the year after, we may be able to give up 1%, of course, you will definitely give us more films at the same time as we give up, right?"

What businessmen care about the most is the most direct interest, and Matthew Runte's words moved the hearts of the six major cinema chains. (To be continued......)
