It can be said that the most important thing in the entire entertainment industry is the grass on the wall, swaying in the wind!

The icing on the cake is something that anyone is willing to do, for example, Xiao Ran's movie results are still unknown, so they naturally still have to behave, even if they are really not optimistic about Xiao Ran's movie, they will still be there, in case the movie is really popular, it will not offend Xiao Ran, this is the icing on the cake.

But in the snow, there is no need to expect these filmmakers to have such noble discipline, if Xiao Ran's film really encounters Waterloo again, these people will definitely be the happiest!

Because Xiao Ran has just stepped into the film industry this year, he has created countless miracles, and the box office record of a movie alone is equivalent to the total box office of these people filming for half a lifetime, so there are not a few people who are envious, jealous and hateful.

After the grand premiere, "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", which is the first part of the Journey to the West two-part series, began to be officially released, and the box office completely shocked the entire film industry on the first day!

Up and down the country, as long as the theaters under the name of Yida Group are all surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, it is completely difficult to find a ticket!

In the end, the box office on the first day broke the first-day box office record of all Xiao Ran's previous movies, reaching more than 67 million!

On the other hand, one of the major shareholders of the Encyclopedia Cinema Line is the senior management of Yanjing TV, so the films under the Encyclopedia Cinema Line have always been self-produced and self-sold, and no satellite companies have been set up, and there is only one Encyclopedia Film Company controlled by the Huo family and his son.

As for the director and actors of the movie, they are all the directors and actors who originally filmed the TV series in Yenching TV.

There are two benefits to this approach. One is a steady dìng that can ensure the output, and the other is a steady dìng for directors, screenwriters and actors, because Encyclopedia's approach is very conservative. All actors and screenwriters, including directors, have at least five years of long-term contracts.

After signing a long-term contract, Yenching TV will train actors, screenwriters and directors, as well as other TV talents, so that they can hone their strength in the continuous TV drama production, and they can only devote themselves to the filming of movies when they are in the best condition.

Although this approach ensures the stability of the film's production and the loss of directors, the company holds the actors, screenwriters and directors firmly in their hands. According to how much money is used for each play, many can have a large increase, which also leads to the entire encyclopedia once it appears because a play becomes popular with a certain actor, screenwriter or director. Then the next step will be poached by another film company, and then the problem is to terminate the contract.

Therefore, many filmmakers have commented that Encyclopedia's business should actually be turned to cultivating talents, and then it is enough to earn a huge amount of liquidated damages for termination.

Of course, this is a ridiculous statement. But it also shows that the consistent conservative style of the encyclopedia has attracted the disdain of filmmakers. So Xiao Ran really didn't expect that the first person to find himself would be the person who found himself.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Huo Chengen of Encyclopedia Film Company is already waiting to see you in the company, can you come back now?"

In the past few days, Xiao Ran is still staying in the crew of Journey to the West, because the box office results on the ticket day are so good, all the main creative staff have been relieved, and now the filming of the second part of "Journey to the West: Cinderella" is getting harder and harder.

The box office on the first day was 67 million, and the second day had exceeded 120 million, but Xiao Ran's heart was still tight. Because he was very impressed, in his previous life, when this movie was released. The initial publicity was also very strong, and the box office in the first two days was also very powerful.

But by the third day, it had already begun to open high and go low, and the craze quickly disappeared, and the box office plummeted.

But after a few days, Xiao Ran began to feel relieved, although the daily box office growth is indeed downhill, but the amplitude is within the controllable normal range, after all, after the fanatical movie fans have watched it, the attendance rate has gradually begun to decrease, from the initial national theaters were full to slowly fall back to the remaining seven or eighty percent of the attendance, which is also very normal.

At this moment, the box office record in the first week is stuck at 270 million, which is enough to shock everyone in the film industry!

Therefore, Huo Chengen of Encyclopedia, the manager of the Encyclopedia Cinema Line and the second-in-command of Encyclopedia Film Company, personally went to Xiao Ran's company and asked to meet Xiao Ran without an appointment.

Xiao Ran naturally understood the other party's solicitation very clearly, and it was impossible for Xiao Ran to agree to him, because the scale and number of theaters under the Encyclopedia Cinema Line were less than one-fifth of that of Yida Cinema Line, so even if the other party gave high conditions, Xiao Ran would not be able to put the movie in their cinema to be released.

But if it was cooperation with other conditions, Xiao Ran had come up with a solution.

Xiao Ran directly explained to the front desk of Zhengdong Film Company and said: "I'm busy filming the second part of Journey to the West, and now it will take at least three hours to return to the company, can you ask Mr. Huo if you can wait for me?" ”

At this moment, Xiao Ran is no longer a rookie in the film industry, his value has long been recognized by countless filmmakers, at this time, Huo Chengen wants to cooperate with him, he must show his sincerity, if he can't even wait for three hours, then Xiao Ran doesn't need to pay attention to him, Jiayi Cinema is also about to move.

"No problem, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Huo said that you just have to be busy, he can always wait for you here."

After hearing the words of the front desk, Xiao Ran explained: "Then you ask Mr. Huo to wait in my office, remember to greet well!" ”

Three hours later, when Xiao Ran's servants rushed back from the crew full of desert scenes, Huo Chengen was still waiting in Xiao Ran's office.

Xiao Ran's secretary had already served him a drink, and at this moment, Huo Chengen was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, and there was no anxiety on his face.

Xiao Ran looked at his face, and he was quite impressed in his heart, although the scenery of this encyclopedia was not as good as yesterday, but Huo Chengen still did not have the slightest sign of decadence.

"Mr. Xiao is really a noble person, your "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" is getting higher and higher at the box office, and I really envy many filmmakers!"

As soon as the two met, Huo Chengen hurriedly stood up from the sandbag, shook hands with Xiao Ran and praised with a smile.

"Mr. Huo smiled, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

Xiao Ran has always been a man who respects me and I respect you, so Huo Chengen, a senior in the film industry, can compliment himself like this, and Xiao Ran naturally can't blindly play tricks.

Huo Chengen smiled: "It should be said that I disturbed the filming of Mr. Xiao's movie, but Cheng En has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time I mainly admired Mr. Xiao's film talent, hoping to see if we could cooperate with each other?" ”

These words made Xiao Ran listen to them, a little uncomfortable, Huo Chengen is in his early thirties this year, but he is like a junior in front of him.

But this is the most realistic place in the film industry, when Xiao Ran's "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" was just released, no one in the entire film industry was optimistic, but now the box office in the first week has reached nearly 300 million, and the entire film industry is completely convinced by Xiao Ran.

No matter what type of movie, Xiao Ran never loses money when he shoots it, and every box office record is constantly breaking his own record, such a rare film talent in a century, the Huo family naturally hopes to be able to win over.

It's a pity that in the past ten years, because of the downturn in the film industry, Encyclopedia Cinemas has spun off and sold many of its cinemas, among which the largest buyer is the Lu family of Yida Group, so now the influence of Encyclopedia Cinemas is getting smaller and smaller, on the other hand, Yida Group is also losing money in the past ten years.

But because Yida Group's Struggle Film Company has supported directors such as Xu Guangwen, Yuan Ba and Chen Guoxin, the box office of the movies basically made is not too bad, and it can barely survive, and after the kung fu movie "Tai Chi" began to sell well, Yida Group has actually made back the lost money, but now it has become the largest theater in the whole of China!

It can only be said that feng shui takes turns, and Yida Group, which has been drinking soup behind Encyclopedia, has now become a behemoth, but Encyclopedia is becoming more and more inadequate.

So after seeing that Xiao Ran had created so many miracles in a few months, the Huo family father and son of Encyclopedia finally couldn't help it, and Huo Chengen came forward instead of his father, wanting to dig into the corner of Yida Group!

But they both know that it is difficult to succeed in poaching this time, but Huo Chengen is holding a mentality of asking for a try, while Xiao Ran is thinking of cooperating in another way, and if the two major theater chains of Encyclopedia and Jiayi really all go bankrupt, then there will be a monopoly situation left with Yida Group, and for Xiao Ran, the bargaining chips in the future will be smaller and smaller!

"So I don't know how Mr. Huo wants us to cooperate?"

Xiao Ran asked directly, and Huo Chengen's answer was even more direct: "Cheng En hopes that Mr. Xiao can consider cooperating with Encyclopedia to form a new film company, which is still exclusively controlled by you, and once your new movie is released, Encyclopedia will mobilize fifty-eight large and small cinemas across the country to support your film, and all the filming and time slots will be arranged to the best and most appropriate." ”

Although Xiao Ran thought that Encyclopedia would come to poach, he didn't expect Huo Chengen to be so naïve, and with the current strength of Encyclopedia's theater, he couldn't impress Xiao Ran at all.

So Xiao Ran also responded directly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I'm afraid Xiao Ran won't be able to agree to your request, because although Xingyicheng Film Company is now formed with Yida Group, and the Lu family directly controls 60%, but Yida Group also supports me to open other new film companies with the same favorable conditions, and it is also the exclusive holding, so please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request."
