Chapter 142: United Cinemas

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiangdong sat on the chair in the office with Erlang's legs crossed, and picked up the materials that had been prepared on the desktop by the way to look at them.

This is some data about the domestic cinema chain.

As for Star Media, the two were originally just a cooperative relationship, and there was no mandatory distribution agent in the contract.

Moreover, this time it was also Old Man Meng who was not greedy enough and wanted to enter Dongye Film and Television, which was unacceptable to Ye Xiangdong.

And Old Man Meng is also a stubborn master, since he can't be used by him completely, why continue to cultivate Ye Xiangdong, and simply arrange all the summer vacation files of his cinema chain.

The pros and cons of this are mixed, the advantage is that you can win over your own director, and the disadvantage is that you may completely lose the cash cow of Ye Xiangdong.

It's just that in the opinion of Old Man Meng, Ye Xiangdong's background is very low, his connections in the entertainment industry are relatively weak, and he has offended TT Film and Television before, and now if he falls out with him again, how can he have a foothold in the film industry in the future.

It is because of this that Old Man Meng thinks that Ye Xiangdong has been settled, and now he is stuck with the emission of the theater, which means: See, we have our own director and our own theater, it is not that you have to do it, but if you are willing to bow your head, I don't mind continuing to cooperate with you amicably, of course, the premise is that you have to bow your head.

It's a pity that Ye doesn't eat this set.

Don't give it to theaters?

It's simple, without this to find a home, although most of the theaters are now controlled by large film companies, but there are also many retail investors, since 2002, a new force has emerged in the domestic film industry, that is, United Cinemas.

The United Cinema Line is a combination of private cinemas scattered across the country, and up to now, hundreds of cinemas have joined. If you talk about the number alone, even 2 Star Media can't compare.

But again, there are big pros and cons.

The threshold of United Cinemas is relatively low, and many unknown or fledgling directors will choose to release their movies here, which has long caused the reputation of United Cinemas to be extremely poor. The audience doesn't give much face, and the box office of movies of the same quality is often inferior to large theaters such as Starry Sky, TT, and Golden Dragon.

What should I do if I lose money at the box office?

These people are not stupid, of course they are deducted from the producer's side.

The share of these large theaters is basically fixed, and under normal circumstances, the producer can get 35% of the total box office, and the distributor accounts for 17%. Exhibitors accounted for 48%.

In order to make money, the share ratio of United Cinema is 25% for producers, 17% for distributors, and 58% for exhibitors.

is a full 10% less share, which is a fool for well-known directors.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, there are basically few big directors who are willing to cooperate with them.

And what about the little director? Unwilling to sign a contract with a large entertainment company. Reduced to a tool to make money, I can only endure to come here. With a faint illusion, he hopes to become famous overnight, and then he will be able to establish an independent studio and serve himself like Ye Xiangdong did at the beginning.

Of course, this is ideal.

There really must be such a person to succeed. Then his ending is still the same as Ye Xiangdong now, either joining a large entertainment company he cooperates with, or someone else moves into your studio.

Disagree?

Well, two ways, walk and refrigerate. Take your pick.

Ye Xiangdong carefully checked the information page by page, and did not stop until the last page.

Wang Heqiang.

He is the second director of the United Cinema Line, one of the founders of the Chinese Pop Music Festival, and the chairman of Tianhao Entertainment Company.

"It seems that Sister Su's proposal is correct, and last night's grand ceremony was not in vain, this time I was able to catch up with Wang Heqiang, at most I made a small step back in negotiating interests, and the theater problem during the summer vacation should be perfectly solved."

Thinking of this, Ye Xiangdong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, for the sake of this theater, Sister Su also took great pains.

Last night's ceremony, it was not suitable for him to appear there with his current identity, but he had to go for the sake of the theater.

According to Sister Su's meaning, this Wang Heqiang likes face, if Ye Xiangdong is invited to participate in the music festival, there is no doubt that he is selling favors, in this way, Su Yi will naturally approach Wang Heqiang, after being full of wine and food, this network is not gradually gathered.

No, the phone call just now was made by Wang Heqiang personally, and the meaning is very simple, since they are friends, let's come out and talk.

This is also the reason why Ye Xiangdong deliberately took his information to see it, knowing that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles.

At this time, Su Yi walked in, looked at Ye Xiangdong and looked through the information, and couldn't help asking, "Dongzi, did Wang Heqiang call you?" ”

"yes, I didn't expect this guy to be more anxious than us, and he called early in the morning." Ye Xiangdong nodded and said with a smile.

Su Yi thought about it, and the afterglow fell on the thick pile of letters inviting songs on the side of Ye Xiangdong's desk, and instantly understood, "I know, I may have seen your ability to compose songs last night, and I want to take this opportunity to ask you for some songs, you know, this guy is still the chairman of Tianhao Entertainment Company, I heard people in the circle say that his company has also gone downhill in recent years, several famous singers and singers have gone out independently, newcomers have no good songs, and they are still in the third-tier stars, tepid, so, Just put your attention on it. ”

"That's right." Ye Xiangdong touched his chin, the song is trivial, as long as the other party is willing to pay, he doesn't mind giving Wang Heqiang a favor, of course, the ultimate goal is to need Wang Heqiang to get a place in the summer vacation of the United Cinema for him.

Otherwise, everything is in vain.

"By the way, Sister Su, go to the Paradise Private Club at night to book a big private room and find a few beautiful and clever little sisters." Ye Xiangdong seemed to remember something, and suddenly commanded.

Su Yi's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Xiangdong incredulously.

Did you hear that right?

Paradise private club to book a private room, and a beautiful little sister? I'm not afraid to let Yang Yinger know, it's strange if I don't break up with you.

"Ahem, cough, Dongzi, I didn't expect you to like this mouthful, don't worry, I won't say it." Su Yi glanced ambiguously at Ye Xiangdong, with a look of I understand what you mean.

"What am I doing here?" Ye Xiangdong came to his senses, pointed to Wang Heqiang's information with some tears and laughter, and explained: "The news that those people in the public relations department have found, this guy is more lustful, find some beautiful little sisters to accompany him, and our mutually beneficial thing is estimated to be done." ”

"Uh." Su Yi smiled and said embarrassedly: "I'll go and tell the assistant to book a room." ”

Before leaving, he turned around and added: "Dongzi, I forgot to tell you, Liu Kai and Xu Zheng are back, do you want to come out to meet?" ”

"Coming back? This relationship is good, you go to book a room first, and I'll go out. Ye Xiangdong laughed, it just so happened that there was something they needed to do, and they all caught up now. (To be continued......)
