Although the theater chain wants to get a piece of the pie, Xu Jin is unexpectedly very patient, and he is not panicked at all with "33 Days of Broken Love" in his hand, not as eager as a newcomer to sell, but more like a mature and spicy veteran, waiting for a suitable opportunity to throw it out.

Gradually, Xu Jin had a step in his hand and the news of the movie he fancied and invested in spread out in the industry, attracting more and more curious eyes.

Xu Jin's reputation is very loud in the industry, and everyone is staring at the dramas he invested, especially the success of the last "Love Apartment", everyone knows that Xu Jin has a vicious eye and wants to mix with the dramas he invested.

Especially the investors who invested in love apartments before, but were afraid that Xu Jin would not appear and would lose all their money, and later withdrew their capital, now that they think about it, they can't wait to slap themselves in the mouth, and they regret it very much.

Knowing that the love apartment is so profitable, he said that he would not withdraw his investment, and even increase his investment.

After learning the lesson of this time, they paid great attention to the new drama invested by Xu Jin.

It's a pity that Xu Jin's news was very well hidden, and by the time they received the news, the crew had already started filming, and it was too late to invest at that time.

Now that Xu Jin has another movie in hand, many people in the industry have moved their minds again.

Xu Jin just started talking to the cinema chain, but he was looking for a large cinema line, not a small theater line.

However, there are still many small cinemas across the country, and even in some second- and third-tier areas, the number of small cinemas is more than that of large cinemas, and large cinemas cannot survive at all.

As soon as they heard that Xu Jin had a new drama in hand, the bosses of these small theaters were full of thoughts, and they tried every possible way to contact Xu Jin, ready to give him an extremely preferential theater sharing price, hoping that his film could be released in their own theaters.

It is still very cost-effective to win a movie that is likely to make a lot of money to expand and enhance his cinema channels, and since this movie Xu Jin can be seen as an investment, and now he is talking about the cinema chain in person, he must definitely pass the test in terms of quality.

About a week later, those big cinema chains couldn't sit still when they saw the various actions of the small cinema lines.

They held meetings one after another to discuss whether they wanted to continue to press Xu Jin's price, and if not, what kind of contract should they give him?

A shareholder said: "Xu Jin concealed this film very well, and he invested it in full, I think it should be very simple, and the quality is also good, I can give him a box office share that is more preferential than the newcomer." ”

"Xu Jin's vision is obvious to everyone, if this film can really make money in the future, then why should we be so strict in the sharing, we have special sharing cooperation with major directors, and it is not impossible to cooperate with Xu Jin."

"Everyone, I think we have to move faster, since those small theaters knew that Xu Jin had a film in hand, they were all scrambling, and the conditions thrown out were very favorable. Our large cinema chain has more advantages than small cinema chains, isn't it because we have more cinemas? ”

"Yes, don't hesitate, what if another big movie theater signs a contract first?"

……

This scene was not only staged in one large theater, but also in the internal discussions in other large theaters, and Xu Jin was also discussed.

In the end, when the cinema chain contacted Xu Jin and was willing to give him a more favorable sharing price, Xu Jin also showed his bottom line.

He not only wants to cooperate with large cinema chains, but also wants to cooperate with small cinema chains.

The reason for cooperating with small cinema lines is because they fancy that the distribution of small cinemas in second- and third-tier areas will be more advantageous.

He wants to grab the box office in big cities, but the box office in small cities cannot be underestimated, how many big cities are there in China, and how many small cities are there?

Large cinema lines only have more cinemas laid in big cities, but the number of cinemas in small cinemas in second- and third-tier areas in turn suppresses large cinema chains.

Another point, he can't guarantee that his film can grab the advantage of the Spring Festival file in the theater chain, nor can he guarantee that he can negotiate with the theater chain that "33 Days of Broken Love" must be released for a few days and how many times a day will be arranged.

But in a small theater, these are all negotiable!

Being able to negotiate is Xu Jin's advantage.

In case the competition for the Spring Festival stalls is extremely fierce and the corresponding share cannot be seized in the big theater chain, maybe this film will have to rely on the small theater chain to frantically bring the pomp back to life.

In case the early publicity is not in place and not effective, few netizens know about this film, it was only released in the big theater for a week, and it was removed from the shelves by them after going through the motions, so in the end, it still has to rely on the small theater chain to support it.

Although Xu Jin has great confidence in "33 Days of Broken Love", he also has to consider a way back for this film, after all, the Spring Festival stalls are all fairy fights, and small films suffer.

Now there is still some time before the Spring Festival, and no one knows who will become whom's enemy.

At present, the known predator of the Spring Festival file is the blockbuster landing of "Red Cliff Down"!

"No, we must not agree to this kind of request, we have never been aggrieved to arrange a film with a small theater chain, he just wants to eat at both ends when he does this, and he is too shrewd!"

After Xu Jin put forward conditions with these cinema lines, on the same day, the major leaders of the cinema lines gathered relevant employees to discuss whether to agree to Xu Jin's request.

Xu Jinti's opinion is very simple, that is, he hopes to be able to play this film together in large and small theaters, so that it is foolproof.

Others: "After all, Xu Jin is a newcomer in the investment world, and it is not surprising that he doesn't know much about the relevant rules of the cinema chain." It is the default unspoken rule in the industry that large cinemas and small cinemas do not touch each other, and it is not our large cinema lines, which look down on small cinemas, and there is already a competitive relationship between the two.

We can broadcast your film not only at our home, but also in other large theaters, which is enough preferential treatment, and now even small theaters have to be mixed in, which is a bit too much. ”

Others couldn't help but agree, "It's quite excessive." ”

Someone else: "Then we will ...... Reject Xu Jin? ”

Although the reason for "this ......" is swearing, they are a little hesitant when it is really their turn to refuse.

It is true that there is a competitive relationship between large cinemas and small cinemas, but the two are still different in terms of business scope.

The daily maintenance of various machinery and equipment in the large cinema line requires a sum of money, and it is impossible to open it in some small cities.

Thinking about it this way, this film has been released in both large and small theaters, and logically speaking, the two are not in conflict, and people in small theaters can only go to small theaters to watch, not to big theaters.

Xu Jin's film is a small investment cost, focusing on youth workplace love, which can just be paralleled in large and small theaters, because the cost investment is small, and he is not afraid that the source of the film will be leaked out by the small theater line and the gun version will appear on the Internet.

When piracy is flying all over the sky, maybe the investment cost of his film has been earned, and there is even a surplus.

For a large-scale film like "Red Cliff Down", there is no room for choice, this kind of film must be released in theaters before you can feel the magnificent and heroic momentum in the film.

And because of the huge investment cost, it is necessary to firmly control the gun version and prevent it from circulating quickly on the Internet.

The small cinema line is more unreliable, and some of the staff of the small cinema chain are still part-time, which will cause the source to leak out for the second time.

At this moment, a person in charge received a phone call, and his face changed slightly.

He said, "Are you sure the news is true?" ”

"Okay, I got it."

The person in charge hung up the phone, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he said solemnly: "There is already a large cinema chain that has decided to cooperate with Xu Jin, that is, Wanfang Cinema, agreeing that Xu Jin can not only be played in large cinemas, but also in small cinemas, it is said that Xu Jin is very satisfied with the price given by Wanfang Cinema." ”

He looked at the others, "Do we want to follow up with the photoelectric theater?" ”

The other responsible persons were silent, and they were the last to express their positions.

"I think I can follow up."

"I am against following up, this is too much to lose, and his film is too wide, which may lead to an overwhelming audience of this film, and the audience will not consciously choose to enter our theater to watch it, combined with several other dramas in the Spring Festival file, I don't think there is any need to mix it up."

"Oppose follow-up, Xu Jin will make the cinema lose the advantage of geographical location, and if our cinema chain joins in, it won't make much money."

"Oppose follow-up, there are many films in the Chinese New Year file, and he is not one of them. If we don't follow up, we just won't make money for his film.

But if we follow up, we can only make very little money.

It's better to find another film that we can work with separately and designate for our theater release, so that we can earn more. ”

……

Although it is greedy for the new drama invested by Xu Jin, based on the consideration of all employees and the reason for the brutal fight with many excellent films in the Spring Festival file, Optoelectronic Media still did not agree to Xu Jin's request and refused to cooperate with Xu Jin.

In addition to Optoelectronic Media, there is also a large cinema chain that also rejected Xu Jin's request, but there is also another large cinema chain that also accepts his request.

So far, in December, Xu Jin has reached cooperation with two large cinema chains and countless small cinema chains in second- and third-tier areas, and each originally signed contract is different.

But in any case, being able to have a big cinema chain willing to cooperate is beyond his original vision.

It's a good start.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a while, New Year's Day arrived.

On New Year's Day this time, Wei Zhou came from far away and spent it with Xu Jin and Xu's father and mother in Xu Jin's villa.

Wei Zhou has a good relationship with Xu Jin, and even Xu's father and mother know it.

The entertainment industry is too hypocritical, and it is not easy to make one or two true friends, and Wei Zhou is a big friend of Xu Jin in the circle, after all, he has struggled under the same agent, and he has had a tortuous past, and it is not smooth sailing as soon as he enters the entertainment industry.

Wei Zhou made a decision this year to temporarily withdraw from the entertainment industry and decide to walk around.

It was not easy to make this decision, but Xu Jin respected his decision.

Maybe in the future, Wei Zhou still wants to return to the entertainment industry, and he will find that he is out of breath and can't keep up with the little fresh meat in the circle, and he will regret it at that time.

But for the current Wei Zhou, he is still very young, and he has already earned enough money that many people can't earn in a lifetime, so he has a lot of time to think about how to go on in the future.

When Wei Zhou quit the entertainment industry, it also caused a lot of media reports, and he was a beauty darling for a month, but there were too many explosions in the entertainment industry.

It's just that a brilliant month, and in the days to come, Wei Zhou's name has rarely been mentioned, and everyone seems to have forgotten this star who has retired from the circle.

Wei Zhou sometimes feels lonely, but as he travels and sees many beautiful scenery of the motherland, his mood has also broadened.

This time I came to play on New Year's Day, and I also had the intention of chatting with Xu Jin.

The two, as always, held a bottle of beer and looked out the window at the top of the house.

In the past, the two of them were on the rooftop of the company, but this year they have changed the environment.

Wei Zhou sighed a little: "There are too many things that have happened this year, as if 5 years have passed." ”

He looked at Xu Jin, "You're not like me, I don't have a purpose, but you always have a clear goal." ”

Xu Jin shook his head, "There is no purpose, sometimes it is a kind of happiness." ”

To what extent does this have to be so that a person does not have to think about what to eat and wear today, what to buy, how much to spend, how to do it, and so on.

Maybe this is the legend "count the money until your hands cramp, and sleep until you wake up naturally".

Wei Zhou sighed, "This kind of life is happiness, but it's too easy to get lost. ”

Xu Jin thought for a while, "Anyway, you're idle, why don't you pick something you're interested in and study?" ”

Wei Zhou pondered for a while, and nodded heavily: "It also makes sense, next year I plan to go to study music." ”

Xu Jin reminded: "I don't know if you will enter the entertainment industry in the future, but there is no absolute in everything, you still have to pay attention to body management." ”

Wei Zhou said embarrassedly: "When I go out to travel, I eat and drink well every day, and I accidentally gained ten pounds." ”

Xu Jin: "I can see that your face is too round." ”

Wei Zhou changed the subject: "Let's talk about you first, how are you doing recently?" Okay? ”

Xu Jin remembered the recent series of actions, and said with a smile: "I think it's good." ”

Wei Zhou: "I heard that you also invested in a movie, just wait for the Chinese New Year to be released?" ”

Xu Jin: "Yes, a film that discusses love, although it is a low-cost investment, but the script is quite interesting. ”

Wei Zhou raised his eyebrows, "It's rare to hear you say that the script is interesting, then I must go and see it during the New Year!" ”

Xu Jin thoughtfully: "I vaguely remember that someone said that he also wanted to be an actor, and used the actor's inspiration to create musical works. ”

Wei Zhou directly pretended to be stupid and looked up at the sky, "Hey, the weather is good today." ”
