No one expected that the film bureau would have this attitude, what does this mean......?

After Shi Dongming finished speaking, the directors also fell into deep thought, the bureau ostensibly means that no one will be offended by letting the two sides compete fairly, but what does it actually want to express?

"Could it be that this Zhou Bureau is on Li Xiaole's side?" Shi Toming muttered to himself.

"No......" Liu Xiaoheng's eyes lit up and he sat up straight excitedly: "On the surface, it is to give both parties a fair chance, but according to the investment amount and production specifications of the film, "Wuji" has an absolute advantage, think about it, if we don't interfere with the theater chain, how will they choose?" ”

After hearing this, Fu Guocang, who was in charge of the coordination of the theater line, immediately carefully calculated the account in front of everyone.

"The investment of "Wuji" is 3.5 billion, and the group's investment in publicity funds is enough to have 100 million, and the approved publicity funds for "Those Years" are 5.65 million, which is almost 20 times different...... I expect that the first phase of "Wu Ji" will be at least fifteen times more than "Those Years". ”

After several directors tasted the matter in their hearts a few times, their mood became excited, it seems that this time the Film Bureau is actually optimistic about Brother Chen Kai and is ready to give up Li Xiaole, thinking of this, Shi Dongming also has confidence in his heart, but he is still not at ease, touching his chin and thinking about it for a while, he said to Liu Xiaoheng in a deep voice:

"Lao Liu, you go and contact Wang Zonglei immediately, I'll go and call Zhang Weiping, this time we must reduce Li Xiaole's first-week film schedule to a safe value, not only my China Film's theater chain, Huayi and New Pictures can't leave room for him."

"Understood." Liu Xiaoheng also nodded, he didn't think that Shi Dongming was overly cautious at all, on the contrary, everyone in the group watched Li Xiaole create one movie miracle after another, and they didn't want Li Xiaole's next miracle victim to be their turn.

That night, Wang Zonglei and Zhang Weiping received calls from China Film Group, and the three parties reached an agreement after a brief communication.

In the office of the new picture, the secretary Erhu asked Zhang Weiping, who was packing up the documents, a little uncertainly:

"Mr. Zhang, I don't understand, don't we have a good relationship with Black Pearl Company, weishenme wants to unite with China Film this time, and Huayi squeezes his film schedule? What's more, he is a small production with an investment of more than 10 million, as for paying so much attention to him? ”

"Let you usually use your brain more~" Zhang Weiping was angry and smashed Erhu's head with a document: "Now it's a market economy, we used to be afraid of piracy, the Chinese New Year's file is one billion of the pie, 800 million is taken away by pirates, 200 million we are all fighting for the head, but now we have cleared piracy, last year's Lunar New Year stalls had a big box office of one billion, Li Xiaole took away 700 million, this is 100 million US dollars, and it is a blockbuster in the United States, if we let him have a "Let the Bullets Fly", will we still breathe at the end of the year? Do you understand? ”

Erhu touched his head, and finally understood in his heart, and before he walked out of the office door, he turned around and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You just dislike Li Xiaole for making too much, he earns a little less, you and Wang Zonglei, Shi Dongming can make a little more......"

And in the past few days, Li Xiaole has not been as angry as Shi Dongming and Zhang Weiping imagined, calling people everywhere to beg for help, but playing chess with him at Director Zhou's house.

This time, the outside world thought that Director Zhou's so-called "fair competition" was to sacrifice Li Xiaole, but no one knew that it was Li Xiaole himself who proposed this plan to resolve the contradictions between the two sides.

Director Zhou couldn't calm down and play chess, he just pretended to hold the chess pieces between his fingers, he had been in contact with Li Xiaole a few times, but he couldn't understand this young man's thoughts, and asked him curiously:

"Do you have confidence in yourself, or do you have confidence in Mr. Han? Why haven't you moved at all until now? Shi Toming's side has already begun to deploy. ”

"Do you think I'm sitting still?" Li Xiaole said with a smile.

"Of course you are not this kind of person, if this happened before you went to Taiwan, I might think so, but you have played the Taiwanese film industry under such bad conditions, how can I treat you as an honest person, Shi Dongming is far worse than you in this regard." Speaking of this, Director Zhou laughed, which shows that he didn't think too much of Shi Dongming.

Li Xiaole saw that Director Zhou was frank about himself, and he didn't want to hide it in front of him, and said:

"In fact, to put it bluntly, my confidence comes from the film itself, as long as I don't interfere with the theater, the theater chain will adjust itself according to the market, this situation may be very unfavorable for our company's films in the early stage, but I believe that the market will give me the results I want in the end."

"That's what you really think?" Director Zhou smiled and asked:

"Han Sanpin's temperament has always been tenacious and cautious, and he is careful in his work, but Director Li, you are full of impact and reckless, do you know that if you fail at the box office this time, Director Li, you can pat your ass and go to the United States, but Han Sanpin, who supports you, has to carry this black cauldron......"

Although the result is unknown, no matter who the loser is, it will determine the pattern of the Chinese film market in the future, among which Han Sanpin, who has established prestige in China Film Group, is the most uneconomical, because he was originally the leading figure in the mainland film industry, if he loses and Li Xiaole leaves the United States again, then it is difficult to say whether he Han Sanpin, the chairman of China Film, can sit firmly or not.

"Actually, I did this for the sake of Mr. Han." Li Xiaole showed a smile:

"Zhou Bureau, I'm not afraid to be cheeky and say, part of Mr. Han's reputation in the group is actually supported by my movies, if I am not there, the clear water of the group will inevitably make waves again, Shi Dongming's directors will act sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to let Mr. Han clear the obstacles and have no worries at all."

In Li Xiaole's memory, Han Sanpin only took over the chairmanship in 07, but the fierce struggle with several candidates is unimaginable to outsiders, although his appearance made Han Sanpin the head of China Film three years in advance, but there are still people inside China Film who are ready to move, in the final analysis, it is because Yan Jie was pulled off the horse by himself, which caused today's turbulent situation, since he wants to leave, he can't leave Uncle Han a mess, after all, his black pearl company still needs the big tree of China Film to shade and shade in China.

"Do you want to do it all and make the situation clear?" Director Zhou smiled, it seems that the young man in front of him is really not small.

"Yes, I just took advantage of this opportunity for the other party to think that their situation was big, so that both sides showed their hole cards to win or lose at one time, if I took out a work like "Let the Bullets Fly" this time, I am afraid that Shi Dongming They would not dare to invest all their chips in fighting for once." Li Xiaole said calmly.

Director Zhou laughed again: "I don't know how Han Sanpin will feel when he hears your words, can I ask, does Han Sanpin know that you played a key role in the decision of the bureau this time?" ”

"Mr. Han doesn't know." Li Xiaole smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said helplessly: "If Mr. Han had known, I was afraid that whatever he said this time would have postponed the release of "Those Years" after the Spring Festival."

"Yes." Director Zhou nodded, with Han Sanpin's forward-looking and risk-taking character, it is indeed very likely that he will do this.

At this time, Li Xiaole's mobile phone on the chessboard rang, and Director Zhou saw that the caller ID was Han Sanpin, pressed the speakerphone button with interest, and then pushed the mobile phone in front of Li Xiaole.

"Hey...... Uncle Han ...... "Li Xiaole had no choice but to connect, and he also felt that this Director Zhou was really a little funny.

Han Sanpin's deep voice sounded from the speaker of his mobile phone:

"Xiaole, you've already seen the documents issued by the bureau, right? Alas, what you said this time is too big, it's not that Uncle Han won't help you, but you also know that our group has a system in the group, your film this time is a co-production, and the investment and specifications are too different from the group's key project "Wuji" this time, in terms of film scheduling, I'm afraid I can't give you so many resources as before, everything has to rely on you......"

Hearing Han Sanpin's heavy tone, Director Zhou wanted to laugh, but Li Xiaole said in a very sincere tone: "Uncle Han, don't worry, I know in my heart, I know the situation in the group, you just need to arrange the film according to the rules, and arrange the film how you want." Li Xiaole said with a smile on the phone, deliberately emphasizing the phrase "everything is filmed according to the rules", and glanced at Director Zhou.

Hanging up the phone, Director Zhou tried to find a trace of frustration on Li Xiaole's face, Han Sanpin disarmed and surrendered, are you really so calm?

Did this call hit Li Xiaole? No, in fact, on the contrary, Han Sanpin's phone call made him feel more confident about the box office of "Those Years".

Han Sanpin and he are grasshoppers in the same boat, if it is possible, he will definitely strive for him more advantages in publicity and film scheduling, and even he admits that he can't do anything this time, so it means that Shi Dongming and those people have no loopholes to exploit.

The three major cinema chains of China Film, the three major northern cinema chains mastered by Huayi Company, and the two major southern cinema chains of the new picture are all scrapped at once, and the entire mainland film industry has become a primitive film battlefield, and everyone can only rely on the quality of the film to compete for the winner.

Of course, in the first week of release, the filming volume of "Those Years" must be greatly reduced, which is inevitable.

However, this film schedule is formulated by the managers of the major theaters that purchase the film according to the data, and the theaters will adjust themselves according to the attendance rate and box office after a week of release.
