Chapter 380: Unintentional Willow Insertion
Lin Xiao looked at Wang Youcai, who was leisurely and complacent opposite, and his teeth were gritted.
Before coming, Chu Yiming reminded him that Xingmei and him did not have a good relationship, but they were just nodding friends, which was not as good as Chen Guangchun.
He didn't expect that the other party would dare to break the unspoken rules in the circle as soon as he opened his mouth.
There are many unspoken rules in the circle, but under false rumors, many people in later generations think that "unspoken rules" are equivalent to female artists being "submerged". ”
In fact, this is completely wrong, what to do, how much money to take, not to lower the price, not to play across the line, and so on are self-evident unspoken rules.
The unspoken rules of the so-called female artists, some people are indeed forced, but more of them are voluntary and exchanged. What you give, I give, as for kicking, it is an unequal exchange.
It is these invisible rules and regulations that are restricting the operation of this colorful world as usual, and generally speaking, if a big man breaks this rule, it is equivalent to challenging the order of the entire circle. When the time comes, the leading bosses of the same level in different camps will definitely stand up and speak, and even many retired veterans, senior officials of the Ministry of Broadcasting and Film, the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, and the China Film Department will come out to "mention." ”
So, in general, no one is going to play with fire.
He couldn't have imagined that the general manager of the marketing department of the newly established Xingmei Cinema Line, a middle and high-level executive, would dare to take advantage of the fire to rob!
The film should be profitable, and the net profit should be 30% after the investment, the distributor should account for 30%, the investor should account for 45%, the director should account for 5%, and 10% should be the screenwriter, crew, and other large and small odds. The last 10% is the rebate for the theater chain.
In the United States, box office revenue accounts for only 20% of the entire movie's profit, while derivative revenue accounts for 80%, and in Lin Xiao's memory, Transformers' derivative revenue even accounts for nearly 90%.
In China, on the other hand, box office receipts account for almost 40 percent, and the remaining 60 percent is almost entirely DVD revenue.
Xingmei wants a 20% rebate, and others will take less, and the direct result is that no one will cooperate with him in the next film.
The reason why Lin Xiao gritted his teeth in anger was because he planned to try the Trinity in the next part, and Xingmei's doing so would be tantamount to cutting off his roots!
"Isn't it too much?" He asked, suppressed anger.
"Many? Not much. "Wang Youcai talked eloquently" We chose to have no thieves in the world, and we took a big risk. Fight against the hero, and the other party will definitely find out our stalls, I already have news, Director Zhang said that he must be drawn in the same file as the world. What do you think is more? I think it's still less. ”
Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.
Lin Xiao got up and left, and Wang Youcai's voice floated from behind him, "Mr. Lin, I advise you to think about it again." ”
"There are only two cinemas in the country. Shanghai Lianhe? What is the climate of the new establishment? Even if he has a lot of theaters under him, he lacks the means of publicity. ”
"After this village, there is no such shop. If it weren't for Chu Gongzi's face, I might have opened my mouth by 30%. ”
"It's impossible for the New Film Federation to accept the world without thieves, if we don't accept it, where will you go to paint?"
Lin Xiao smiled, laughing angrily.
"You just have to be sure that we have no other way to dare to ask for a price." He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, even if this film is released, it will definitely not let you pick up this cheap!" ”
The national box office of 140 million in 04 is 28 million per cent.
"Cheap?" Wang Youcai smiled, "We are helping you, or are we called picking up cheap?" You really don't know the hearts of good people. ”
Too lazy to talk to him, Lin Xiao closed the door and left Xingmei's office.
As soon as he left, Chu Yiming's phone called.
"How?"
"Are you sure you have a relationship with him?" Lin Xiao said indignantly: "The whole thing is a wolf!" I can't even stand the appearance! ”
Chu Yiming was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what was going on.
"And what are you going to do?"
"Say it again." Lin Xiao hung up the phone, and he was so annoyed that he was going to die.
The new film association has no drama, Xingmei has made it clear that she wants to slaughter them, where else can she choose?
When he returned to the company in a bad mood, the people in the company didn't dare to speak much when they saw that he had a bad face.
Walking straight into the general manager's room, Qin Zhongzheng was chatting happily with a middle-aged man he had never met, and when he saw him come in, he smiled and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Not good." Lin Xiao picked up the teacup and took two sips, glanced at the middle-aged man in a straight suit, and didn't continue.
"You're not good, but I have good news here." Qin Zhong smiled and said, "Introduction, the person in charge of the Shanghai Lianhe Special New Year file, Qian Zhao." ”
The middle-aged man stood up and shook Lin Xiao's hand with a smile, "Mr. Lin, meet for the first time." ”
Lin Xiao was immediately relieved.
He knew the purpose of the other party's visit.
"I'm afraid Mr. Qian is here to have no thieves in the world, right?" He said straight to the point: "Haven't you seen Director Feng? ”
"I've seen it. But Director Feng said, you are responsible for this matter. Although Qian Zhao was laughing, he was obviously in a hurry, "I don't know if there are no thieves in the world and other theaters have signed a contract." ”
"Not yet." Lin Xiao is also calm, no matter how you say it, this is also the fourth largest cinema chain in the future. Although it is not as good as Xingmei, Wanda. It's just a difference between ninety-five and a hundred.
Everyone knows the current situation, which cinema chain has signed a cooperation with, and there will definitely be a renewal of the contract next year, and other cinemas have to be prevented from poaching people. It can be said that the era dominated by cinemas has passed, and keen people have realized that good films are the real way out for the era of hundreds of schools of thought competing for cinemas.
Qian Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, God knows how anxious he was, and his heart jumped out when he heard Lin Xiao contact the New Film Association and Xingmei.
Heroes they dare not think, although the background of Shanghai Lianhe is Lianhe Investment Group, but at the beginning of its establishment, how could Zhang Yimou choose them?
In the blockbuster of the same year, they have long given up on heroes, and their eyes have always fallen on the world without thieves.
When he got the news of the finalization, he immediately rushed from Shanghai to Beijing without stopping.
It's good that you didn't sign a contract. Qian Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately straightened his face.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Qin, the purpose of my coming, the two of you should be very clear."
"There are only three such commissioners. contacted Lu Chuan, Jiang Wen and a group of veteran directors respectively. Among them, I am the highest-ranking in it. I was instructed to contact Director Feng's world-free thief-free crew. ”
"Shanghai Lianhe has just been established, but the background is definitely not weak, and Shanghai Lianhe Investment Group ......"
Lin Xiao nodded, interrupted, and said directly, "We want to know what treatment you can give to no thieves in the world." What's there, Xingmei can't give us. ”
"I don't know what Xingmei's conditions are?" Qian Zhao asked cautiously.
"Their conditions are very rich, but I think that there are no thieves in the world who deserve more generous conditions." Lin Xiaoruo said meaningfully, "Moreover, their promotion efforts, scope, and channels are wider. ”
This is the end of asking for people, Qian Zhao sighed, thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "First, because there are no thieves in the world, it is the first Chinese New Year blockbuster signed by Lianhe." Director Feng Zhi, Mr. Lin, Miss Zhao, Miss Zhou, and Mr. Ge participated. For the first time ever, Lianhe will use 8% rebates! ”
On the first condition, Lin Xiao and Qin Zhong were slightly shocked.
Lianhe's determination is too great.
Two percent, sounds less. But for him, who knows the last box office in the last life in the world, this is equal to hundreds of thousands.
Giving up a profit is an incalculable loss for a movie calculated in 100 million.
"Second, during the period when there are no thieves in the world, we host the premiere, of course, the time cannot be changed, it is still eight o'clock in the evening. The premiere is twelve o'clock in the morning. However, all the schedules without thieves in the world are at noon, evening, and afternoon. And I promise that in the four hours of the same period, there will never be any blockbusters, and Lianhe will never build momentum for any blockbusters! ”
Lin Xiao nodded secretly, and Lianhe really showed the greatest sincerity.
The schedule is divided into a time period, and the time period in the time period, which can also be said to be a large and small schedule.
The big schedule is to say which day to which day, and how long it is.
The small schedule is what time of day it is screened and what film is shown later.
There's a lot of knowledge here.
For example, let the Lord of the Rings and Spider-Man meet, which is something that only fools do. In the adjustment of the big schedule, if you want to maximize profits, you must avoid the collision of two super blockbusters, unless it is a super blockbuster with your opponent.
After arranging the big schedule, the small schedule is more knowledgeable.
This is what touched Lin Xiao.
Once a film is arranged before and after the Star Wars prequel, it can be said that it is already doomed to tragedy. The audience doesn't have much energy and economy to watch.
At the same time, their eyes are only focused on the films that are most promoted.
That is to say, there are sessions at noon, afternoon, and evening in the world, and three shows a day is basic. But at the same time, no blockbusters are arranged, and Lianhe is in the big schedule of the world's no thieves, and only the morning can enlarge the film!
This commitment is not insignificant, and it also means that Lianhe is determined to win and has a high opinion of no thieves in the world.
Qian Zhao sighed secretly, Lianhe has no choice, and there will be no big loss if there are no thieves in the world. Foreign films, the Chinese New Year files have almost not been reviewed by the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, this disguised protection policy allows the country to play freely, but this year's domestic blockbuster New Year files are also terrifying.
Without it, heroes, there are no thieves in the world, just like two insurmountable mountains in front of them, and everyone has to weigh them.
If you can't invite heroes, you can only rob the world without thieves.
They have done a good job of losing money in the world, but Lianhe's publicity of "premiering domestic self-investment, tens of millions of blockbusters" is ready to buy horse bones.
"The sincerity is very sufficient, in fact, needless to say, these two items are enough." Lin Xiao sighed.
"What does Mr. Lin mean?" Qian Zhao looked at Lin Xiao's face worriedly, and he was startled when he heard that Dawn was one of the largest investors equal to Huayi.
In order to win the world, he opened his mouth and said the bottom line of Lianhe, but he was afraid that it would change for a long time.
"Yes." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Promised?! You promised?! Qian Zhao jumped up from the sofa with a whirl, his face full of ecstasy, "You really agreed?" Mr. Lin, you won't regret your choice today! ”
You won't regret it, Lin Xiao smiled secretly. Immediately gritted his teeth, Xingmei, even if you are the backing of the China Film Department, I will teach you a good lesson in the bloody battle at the end of this year!
