Although more than half a year has passed, the office in Mecca has not changed much. Li Yihua looked at the office decoration boredly, and his mind didn't know where to fly for a long time.

The post-production work of "Chainsaw" will be completed in two days, and Li Yihua's biggest worry is the problem of release, if there is no theater, it will be sad! As a film company, if it does not have its own theater chain, the profits will be divided a lot, which is something that all investors are unwilling to do.

"Ah Hua, why do you have time to come to my brother's place to play!" Before the sound arrived, Mecca's unique bald head broke into front of him first, with a happy smiling face, making him look extraordinarily young.

Li Yihua stood up, stretched out his hand and shook Mecca's hand and said, "Brother Mai, you're really a busy man, I've had two cups of tea here, and you're late." ”

"It's not because of you, the script you wrote is so good, it exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars in just one week of release." Mecca touched the bald head of the standard surname and said with satisfaction.

"That's what you guys did well." Li Yihua listened to the script and was very happy.

"You don't have to be modest, the four scripts you wrote are a big hit, which is not something that ordinary people can do." Mecca complimented in a thick Shandong accent.

In Mecca's office, Li Yihua and Mecca sat down separately after being polite to each other, and Mecca looked at Li Yihua with some surprise, he didn't know what he was looking for him, he is now the best director and screenwriter.

Li Yihua rubbed his eyes, thought about it, and said directly: "Brother Mai, I came this time for the release of my new movie, and I hope we can work together again." ”

"Ah Hua, you also know that "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" is really being released, and it will take at least two weeks to get the picture down." Mecca had a smile on her face.

"I know this, but the two films are done in different genres, and there will be no conflict between the two, so I don't think there is any need to worry about the release." Li Yihua said with a smile, when he said this, he had fully understood the current situation.

"Ahem, although this is the case, it will also affect the results of the box office." Mecca coughed twice.

"Brother Mai, we don't talk darkly, as filmmakers, we all know that such an impact is minimal." Li Yihua frowned, very annoyed by Mecca's obvious shirk.

Mecca laughed at herself: "It seems that I am old, and it is better for young people to speak quickly." ”

Mecca did not admit or deny it, but stared at Li Yihua tightly with his eyes, and a trace of helplessness flashed on his face: "If you want to cooperate, it's not impossible, but we have to change the box office." ”

After Li Yihua pondered for a while, he thought that Mecca had compromised, "Of course, this will be calculated according to the current share, so that everyone will not suffer." ”

"I like young people to talk fast, and you know that last time it was for the sake of promise, so I gave such a generous share, and now the company's board of directors wants to change a box office sharing model." Mecca smoked her cigar and buried herself in the smoke and said unpleasantly.

"Change the sharing model?" Li Yihua frowned, thinking unhappily.

Change the box office sharing model, that is, the producer rents the theater chain and adds a fixed amount of money. And for this "Chainsaw", there is definitely no problem with the box office, if Li Yihua chooses this way of box office sharing, it is undoubtedly his most painful way, but it is the favorite way of the theater.

"Specifically, you rent the theater chain, plus a fixed share of 40 percent." Mecca ignored the surprised Li Yihua and said slowly.

"Boss Mai, isn't this inappropriate, both rent and sharing, there is no such precedent." Looking at the bright bald head, I really wanted to go up and kick twice, Li Yihua said with a grim face.

"It's the company's decision, and there's nothing I can do about it." Mecca in the smoke, I can't see any expression clearly.

As the person in charge of the New Arts City Cinema Line, Mecca knows the importance of mastering the cinema chain. As an emerging Longsheng Pictures, it has become a threat, and only by suppressing it in theaters can its rapid development be inhibited. For this, Mecca still has a business-minded mind, and it strangled thoughts in the cradle.

Li Yihua closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and snorted coldly: "Boss Mai, is there only this way of cooperation?" Is there no other way to cooperate? ”

Mecca shook her head, indicating that there was no room for negotiation.

"Boss Mai, when you were studying in the United States, you said that you went to Chinatown to watch Hong Kong films, and you felt that the things made by those filmmakers were not satisfactory. And now I find that you've changed, you've changed your original intention of making movies. Li Yihua tidied up his clothes, said with anger in his heart, and then left the office without looking back. Li Yihua never thought that this time it would be such a result, I thought it would be a win-win cooperation, but I didn't expect it to be a rebellion. Mecca will suppress Longsheng Pictures, Li Yihua has long thought of it, but he didn't expect it to come soon.

Shi Tian walked into the office with coffee, put it in front of Mecca, and said indifferently, "Did you refuse him?" ”

"Some of his words reminded me of the original intention of making movies." Mecca's expression was a little depressed, and she lost the passion she was looking for.

Shi Tian was a little surprised, what kind of words could hit his good partner, he opened his mouth and didn't speak, knowing the temper of his old partner, he would naturally say what he wanted to say, and no one could force him to say what he didn't want to say.

"Isn't it a bit too much for us to hit this talented director like this?" Mecca touched her bald head and asked another question.

"It's because of talent that you have to suppress it. His appearance has begun to affect the current pattern of Hong Kong and shake the hegemony of our company, so it must be suppressed. "Shi Tian's businessman is relatively angry, and his attitude towards Li Yihua is also resolutely suppressed.

"When we first started making movies, we made good films, and as we made more and more money, the company got bigger and bigger, and the farther we got from our dream of starting to make movies. A talented director like Ah Hua will definitely make a good movie, but for the sake of the company's development, we have to suppress it. Mecca said helplessly.

Shi Tian patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Remember that the CEO of a company is the first thing, and then the filmmaker, and for the growth of the company, certain means are needed if necessary." So don't think so much, we're all fighting to be entertainment tycoons. ”

Mecca secretly said: Yes, I want to be not only a filmmaker, but also an entertainment tycoon!
