Chapter 477: The Storm Rolls Up

Soon, fans were surprised to find that they had no film to watch.

Whether it is a Hollywood blockbuster or a domestic movie, theaters are not playing, except for some theaters that play movies from a long time ago under the banner of nostalgia, there are not a single newly released movies.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Countless posts suddenly appeared on major film and television forums and post bars, "Chengdu Pacific Cinema Line is getting more and more excessive, and the last time I played a Hollywood blockbuster, it was a movie, after all, it was a movie, this time I actually played an old-fashioned domestic movie, and it was also that kind of art film, how nostalgic are you to take out the movies of the 80s and 90s of the last century, if you want to be nostalgic, I might as well go to entertainment paradise!" ”

"Who knows why the theater here in Baoqing United doesn't show movies?" A post asked: "I finally took a break today, I was going to watch a movie, but when I arrived at the cinema, I found that the theater was closed, and I asked others, and others said they didn't know what was going on, where are you?" ”

"Sichuan is also out of play, I heard that the film and television company stopped supplying films to the theaters, and as a result, the theaters have no films, except for some old art films, other theaters are not showing new films."

"My neighbors work in theaters, and they said that most of the theaters are closed for holidays, and they don't know exactly when they will open, and they are still waiting for the notice from above."

"It's really boring, the dirty relationship between the theater chain and the film and television company actually affects our fans, if you have the ability, don't release new films in your life."

The people of Dalian sent a congratulatory message, and Wanda Cinema is still being screened. Although there are some things that are released, there are still some things that can be watched. ”

"The people of the magic capital sent a congratulatory message, and the gold medal theater is still showing new films. Although I don't like it very much, I feel a pang of joy considering the plight of other compatriots. ”

Public opinion on the Internet soon affected reality, radio and television took the lead, a large number of reporters roamed the streets, and major newspapers, magazines, and television stations began to bombard theaters in an all-round way.

"Because of the failure of the sharing negotiations, domestic film and television companies officially stopped supplying films to theaters. A well-known filmmaker said that if the theater chain refuses to revert on the vampire sharing agreement for a day, they will not supply films for a day. - "Contemporary Cinema".

On Mango Channel's entertainment program, the host also ridiculed this incident.

"Recently. Tear of film and television companies and cinemas. Force. The war is raging, and in order to protest against the vampire sharing agreement, many film and television companies have announced that they will stop supplying films to theaters, except for the three theaters with the best attitude. All other theaters are closed. ”

According to a theater manager. This time it was the above request, and they didn't mean it that way, for them, changing the agreement was actually better than the cold confrontation like the current one. ”

Even the central station couldn't help but intervene.

Our reporter reported: Because they can't stand the oppression of the theater chain, many film and television companies threaten to stop supplying films to the theater chain, hoping that the theater chain can change the vampire sharing agreement, but the theater chain rejected the legitimate request of the film and television company. In the end, the two sides went to the truth of bayonets. ”

All the public opinion slammed into the major theaters and the Internet. Wave after wave of celebrities expressed their support for film and television companies.

"In China, making movies is actually not profitable, why not make money? Because all the money was taken away by the theater chain, as the biggest risk bearer, the film and television company was only able to get 37% of the share, which is simply a big joke in the world. -- Chen Zhiming.

"When I was abroad, people asked me, Wang Jinghua, why can't your Chinese films develop for a long time? I can only tell them that the national situation is like this, what is the national situation? The national situation is that our film and television company works for the theater chain. - Wang Jinghua.

"Enough is enough, others only see the scenery of the film and television company, but they can't see that the film and television company is actually drinking the northwest wind, now Huayi Brothers is investing more and more, but making less and less money, if it goes on like this, this circle will end sooner or later." - Huayi's little Wang.

The director, actors, and company CEOs are all questioning the theater chain, and they have joined forces to put pressure on the theater chain, trying to change the inherent sharing agreement and make the theater chain regress.

Except for a small number of people.

For example, some actors, directors and CEOs under the Gold Medal Group, all of them are silent, and when they face reporters, they also say things like 'I don't know' and 'have nothing to do with me'.

That's true.

Since Li Lin decided to be neutral, he immediately sent a notice to all his actors, asking them not to express their stance in front of the media.

In fact, they don't need to express their position, backed by the gold medal group that owns the cinema chain, they can attack and retreat, whether it is the failure of the film and television company or the failure of the cinema chain, the interests of the gold medal group itself will not be infringed too much.

In the face of the criticism of many media, artists, and the public, the theater chain has remained silent again and again, and they do not face reporters at all.

The reporter came to interview, closed the door directly, even if it was occasionally blocked, he kept his mouth shut, no matter how you asked, he just didn't speak.

But in terms of action, the theater chain has not regressed at all.

You don't offer tablets? Okay, I won't play it, theaters are on holiday in batches, theaters are starting to close, fans hope to come, hope to return.

After going back, fans complained on the Internet, and gradually, among these voices, there were more other voices.

"Protest, why is the war between film and television companies and theaters affecting us? Why don't you give us a movie? ”

"I don't care what you guys think, hurry up and open the door to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to watch a movie, otherwise, I will never support domestic production in the future."

"Unlucky, how did you accept this share before, and suddenly you didn't accept it this year? You can talk about it, why don't you show us a movie. ”

They don't care what the dirt between the film and television company and the theater chain is, and they don't care whether the film and television company can make money under such a share, they only know that the dirt between the film and television company and the theater chain has affected them.

They scolded the theater line, but they also scolded the film and television company.

Public opinion. Gradually, there is a danger of leaning towards the theater.

A week has passed, the anger of fans has accumulated more and more, and the single-week box office results have also been released.

"The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" leads the weekly box office list with a box office score of 560,000 in a single week. "Acipilin" ranked second with a single-week score of 320,000, while "Girl" fell below 100,000 and made a big pounce.

Domestic movies seem to have returned to the era of millions of box offices.

In fact, the reason is very simple, only three theaters are released at the domestic box office, you know, these three theaters do not support a certain movie, he needs to evenly release some theaters for other domestic films. As a result, everyone's box office was not very good.

The media, film and television companies got this report card, and their faces were pale.

Pounced.

These movies all pounced. Whether it is a bad reputation or a good reputation, all of them have pounced, the reason is very simple, there are not enough theaters.

The box office of domestic films has been rising over the years. From tens of millions to hundreds of millions. They thought that the market was big, but only now did they know that it was not the market that was big, but the number of movie theaters that had increased.

Now as soon as the number of movie theaters decreases, their films are immediately beaten back to their original shape.

At the same time, they are also glad that they didn't take their proud work to fight with the theater chain, if they really touched, they would die a miserable death.

And magazines and newspapers saw this report card. They all lost their voices.

Hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of box office, how has this never appeared? Years? More than a dozen years or how long? Unexpectedly, hundreds of thousands of people can lead the entire schedule again. This makes film critics who have enjoyed the baptism of tens of millions or hundreds of millions a week a little unbearable.

"At the box office this week, they did not lose to word of mouth, but to the theaters, and with the support of the theaters, all the movies suffered a fiasco, not that they couldn't, but that the theaters were too domineering."

"The monopoly theater chain controls the life and death of the film, and without the theater chain, "Titanic" would not be able to achieve the box office in China."

"This is a monopoly, a monopoly that must be broken, because the monopoly has grown into a cancer."

All the film critics put the blame on the theater chain and criticized the theater chain, and the investors and actors of those movies were all pale.

"I said a long time ago, we can't let our movies go, but now it's okay, with such a 'high' box office, everyone is finished."

"What a rag crew, to achieve such a box office, I still invested so much money, go die!"

"I was still thinking of becoming an instant hit, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Some rumors are gradually circulating, and there is a crisis of division within the film and television industry.

However, when the box office is not good, on the entertainment heaven, the on-demand of these movies has hit a new high.

"The first week sales of "Peach Blossom Spring" were 1.2 million, "Acipilin" was 160,000, and "Girl" was 720,000. Qi Xiangdong hugged the internal number of jΓΉ, slightly proud, "The number of registrations in Entertainment Paradise has increased a bit, and all those guys who have no movies to watch have come to our website to watch." ”

There are not many people, but all of them are rich masters, after all, people who can spend dozens or hundreds of dollars to go to the theater to watch movies are not worse than a dozen yuan.

They are all high-quality users and the main group that supports the website.

"Shall we spread the word? Woo them as much as you can? ”

"No need."

Li Lin waved his hand, "Don't get involved in this turmoil, of course, the activity should be carried out, but it must be low-key, and it cannot be done in a big way." ”

"This war will soon be decided, and if it continues like this, the anger of fans will burn all the radio and television and theater chains."

No matter how powerful radio and television and cinemas are, they still have those in charge, but those people haven't noticed the film and television industry for the time being, if they make too much trouble, the board above will be knocked down, whether it is a theater or radio and television, they can't afford it.

As Li Lin thought, just the next day, Fan Weiping of Radio and Television stood up and bombarded the theater chain, "Some domestic theaters are like a mountain pressing on the film and television company, and they always restrain the actions of the film and television company." ”

"Such a heavy burden has also slowed down the development of the domestic film and television industry."

"We do not agree with the actions of the film and television company this time, and we hope that the two sides can come to the negotiating table and discuss together." (To be continued......)
