"Old Feng!" Wang Zhonglei said softly, frowning at him, Feng Xiaogang, who was not afraid to speak, snorted coldly, turned his head and did not speak.

Han Sanping and Lin Xiao looked at the audience quietly.

The minister of Bona bowed his head and drank tea, and did not express the slightest opinion on the arrival of the theater. The minister of the West Shadow frowned slightly, and his gaze turned cold. As long as everything else is related to the movie, all of them are suddenly silent, and fools can see a breath in their hearts.

Who can not be angry? After joining the WTO, the cinema chain can no longer be in the hands of the state, 01 to 06 November, countless open and secret confrontations, the formation of these five dominating China's cinema lines, maybe the major provincial capitals still have some of their own cinemas, but compared with the five major cinema lines, at most it is called a cinema. And after several years of fighting, these five major theater chains sat firmly on the throne and formed an alliance, which in turn bit the throat of Zhongying who let go of the theater chain, bow their heads in front of each other again and again, and let out millions of profits one after another, which company doesn't hate it so much that it drips blood in its heart? You have to have a smile on your face.

When this kind of producers get together at a party, who will be happy when the upstream theater chain suddenly comes with a high profile?

"Why are you all so quiet?" Just when everyone was silent, an old voice came over, and said with a smile, "I heard that Chibi is going to start, we want to fight for the right to release it, Mr. Lin won't welcome it, right?" ”

He knew the Tao in the circle very well, and asked Lin Xiao directly, because he knew who the distribution power was.

"How could it not be welcome?" Feng Xiaogang sneered with a sneer: "This kind of opportunity to suck blood, I won't let it go?" How many are you going to take a photo? That way I did last year? ”

The relationship between the release and the theater chain is very delicate, one second the two can tear their faces, and the next second they will immediately gather together to drink and talk. Just like an old couple, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, if it is not related to the fundamentals, no matter how strong the quarrel is, it will not break up. But if other companies think that the distribution and the theater chain quarrel, they will have a chance, and they are guaranteed to be ruined. When Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei negotiated with these major cinema chains, they all flipped the table, and now the two families still wear the same pair of pants. Feng Xiaogang's sour words, the representatives of several major cinema chains will not take it to heart.

"Everywhere, there is a ratio here, and it has been implemented for so many years, and there are no problems, and as the maintainers of the market, we still hope to follow this ratio." Qiu Sheng, the representative of the Pacific Ocean, smiled and said, "We not only welcome Director Wu's films, but don't we welcome Director Feng's movies as well?" ”

If no one answers him, the word love and kill each other is really suitable for the distribution and theater distribution in the Chinese film and television industry.

The scene was very cold, and even Cai Yinong, who had never been involved in movies, felt that something was wrong, so soon, only Lin Xiao, Han Sanping and several representatives were left laughing.

"It's noon, let's have a meal together." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Forget it, we don't drink ketchup, our appetite is not good enough." Feng Xiaogang twitched his mouth and said to Lin Xiao with a hippie smile, "I originally had something to say, wait until you finish eating." ”

Qiu Sheng, Gao Shanyuan, Bai Su, and the three theater representatives were not angry at all, and watched Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei just walk out.

"Where's Minister Wang?" Lin Xiao turned his head and asked Bona's minister.

"I still have some business, let's make an appointment with Mr. Lin in the afternoon." Minister Wang, a chubby middle-aged man who looked burly and energetic, put down the teacup and said, "I ate too much in the morning, and I can't eat at noon." ”

Lin Xiao didn't expect that several major companies did not hide their dislike for the theater chain at all, but unfortunately, no one dared to really jump out to be the song of the horse.

"Hehe, it looks like everyone has some misunderstanding." Bai Su laughed, the old man's hands were exposed, and he gently knocked on the table, "It's okay, let's go if we shouldn't go, and those of us who should leave will stay to rub Mr. Lin for a meal, Mr. Lin won't mind, right?" ”

Cai Yinong hesitated for a long time and didn't leave, he is also a smart person in this situation, so he naturally understands that it must be a large company and a theater chain, but after thinking about it, I do my TV series, what does it matter to them, and I don't want to let go of this opportunity, so I followed a few people into the restaurant.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, before you knew it, only Lin Xiao and the three representatives were left on the table.

"Mr. Lin." Gao Shanyuan, who was still a little straight in his eyes just now, still has a little sign of alcohol at this moment, and said with a smile, "From the press conference to now, it has been half a year, and Chibi will start up immediately, I think Mr. Lin should think about it for the future." ”

Here comes the topic, Lin Xiao didn't drink much in the first place, put down the wine glass containing the drink and said with a smile, "What does Mr. Gao mean?" ”

"This film will be a success, and the influence of the country is unquestionable. In order not to suffer from aesthetic fatigue, I believe that the China Film Department will not start to hype up until two months before the film is completed. However, no matter how good the publicity is, it needs to be seen by the audience. Bai Su sighed and said, "There are few good theaters in China now, and the most powerful ones are sitting in front of you." Shouldn't Mr. Lin also give us a reassurance? ”

Lin Xiao smiled: "I have promised the Pacific Ocean." ”

Unexpectedly, Bai Su and Gao Shanyuan were not angry at all, looked at Qiu Sheng and said, "Fifty to fifty, Vice Chairman Qiu has already told us." But what...... Mr. Lin, you see, Director Zhang, the highest feedback we gave is this, let's go back and study it......"

"You think it's too high?" The anger in Lin Xiao's heart had turned into a demon, if he could vent, he wouldn't mind tearing these people in front of him to pieces!

They didn't want to come to burn incense, but they wanted to demolish this Three Treasures Palace!

Billion investment! If it weren't for the five-star evaluation given by the system, if it wasn't for the IMAX+3D rampant in later generations, if it weren't for the precedent of Avatar in 09, who would have voted so big? This is a shot in the arm for the Chinese film industry, which has been sluggish, however, now others don't care what this action can bring, and they don't care if the invested money can be returned, which is so much lower than international practice, they are still insufficient!

Bai Su waved his hand apologetically, "We can't say that Vice Chairman Qiu's decision was wrong, but this kind of thing, you also know that the increase in quotas must not be put on paper, this is all a matter of verbal promise, and the specific policy still has to be studied." After our discussion, we felt that 50% was really too high. ”

Lin Xiao looked at these three people quietly, he could imagine that his status would be threatened like this, what would happen to other companies? So that no one dares to make a movie?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gao Shanyuan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

His voice was cold, like a rusty knife sharpened on iron, hoarse and piercing.

"We have researched, at the beginning of the painting skin, the assembly number, you have a cinema connection as soon as you shoot it. But! Mr. Lin, at this time and that time, painted skin, Wanda has just been established, they urgently need movies to drive the box office, this is your luck, yes, it is lucky, you don't think that you can do whatever you want when you reach any status, China is a society governed by the rule of law, and no matter how rampant criminals are, there will be nemesis. ”

He lifted the collar of his suit and narrowed his eyes slightly, "And the five major cinema chains are the maintainers of market rules." Mr. Lin, we haven't approached you in the past because you haven't been involved in distribution. Now that you're involved, you have to have a conversation with us. The rallying number, there are big people on it to escort you, and we are also unstoppable to put such a low rate. But is that big man's eyes still on you now? He's an old man who has a lot of opportunities, I'm afraid he has forgotten about you, right? ”

"When you enter the distribution world, you have to follow the rules. The five major cinema chains dominate almost all theaters in China, from south to north and from east to west. He bared his white teeth, "I think, Mr. Lin doesn't want to be unable to get his investment back, right?" was boycotted by the five major theaters, and you may have nowhere to release it. Are you counting on the new film association? They are available to you for a month, or even two months. However, it is limited to the Beijing area and its surroundings, and you can only take one of them, Mr. Lin, if you make this choice, it is undoubtedly the most stupid choice. ”

Lin Xiao looked at these three people coldly, one was a scapegoat, one was white-faced, and the other was red-faced, did he really play with himself as a child?

"You're threatening me?"

"I'm just stating the facts." Gao Shanyuan said lightly, "In any country, the economy is the most important, Mr. Lin think twice, after China's accession to the WTO, it is no longer the era of Zhongying covering the sky with one hand, the times have changed, and the rigid thinking also needs to change." 47% to 53%, this is the common answer of our three major theater chains. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Mr. Lin doesn't need to refuse in a hurry, I think you should be wondering, why didn't Warner Wanda appear?" ”

"In recent years, Wanda has been the fastest growing one, they themselves are strong, entrenched in Dalian, and have been gradually encroaching on the market of the New Film Association, and the influence of the New Film Association is even lower than you think. Why didn't they come? It's very simple, Warner Wanda, Warner is still before Wanda, you and Warner don't need us to say more about the grievances and grievances, right? I guarantee that Chibi Warner has given Wanda a ban on screenings, don't they know what a billion investment represents? But they still chose Warner, Minister Zhang Yongliang, who was running with you at the beginning, is now presiding over this matter, not only is it not released, I heard that this year's Harry Potter has adjusted the schedule, and there is also superstar Will Smith's 'I am a legend,' except for sniping Chibi, I can't think of what else they have to do. Did you really decide to suffer from the enemy on your back, face the sniping of two Warner blockbusters, and refuse the kindness of the three major theaters in China? ”

"Finally, it's just Wanda's sniping." He said meaningfully: "This is not the main meaning of the three major cinema chains. ”

"Smart people are smart because they know how to make trade-offs." Gao Shanyuan's smile seemed to be under control, "Mr. Lin, it's time for you to choose." ”

"Do you agree to our conditions, or do you face the encirclement and suppression of two blockbusters, and there is no harvest in China?"
