The cinema chain is a film distribution and screening business mechanism based on cinemas, linked by capital and film supply, and formed by a combination of a film distribution entity and several cinemas. The film and projection industry is an industry with a monopoly management system. In order to develop and protect their business interests, business operators control a considerable number of movie theaters in certain cities or regions and establish screening networks in order to monopolize the release of new versions of films in a certain country or a certain film production company.

As of the time of the other party's negotiation with Jiang Huo, there were a total of 47 cinemas in China, but it was the eight large cinemas that really controlled the market.

And what the other party is talking about is talking with these theaters.

The next morning, in a CBD building in Shangjing, dozens of men in leather shoes were sitting there, looking at Chinese pieces with serious faces.

"Lao Chen, you want our lives! Take only the minimum amount of maintenance? Isn't that trying to make us die? A Sven man wearing gold-rimmed glasses spoke very bluntly, he closed his hand in Chinese, threw it on the table casually, and shook his head: "Impossible, I will never sign this contract, if it is according to you, then our chairman will definitely pick my skin!" ”

As the man spoke, the middle-aged man sitting next to him also straightened his beer belly and said, "We don't agree either, Lao Chen, fortunately you are here to talk to us, if it were someone else, Lao Tzu would have already slapped him in the face, and the minimum amount of theater maintenance?" How can it be! Everyone is a businessman, don't you eat? ”

"That's right, Mr. Su and Mr. Wang are right, this kind of example must not be opened, last time Lao Zhang made a fuss with us, and we didn't agree to ask all the theaters to drop by two points, how could we agree to you this loss-making deal this time?" The young man sitting at the end also nodded in agreement, "What's more, Lao Chen, you haven't told us which movie it is!" Who the hell is so big in face that you are asked to talk about such a thing? ”

The people who can come to this meeting are all the heads of major theaters in China, and it took a lot of effort for Lao Chen to invite everyone here.

Hearing the young man's words, everyone present raised their heads and focused their eyes on Lao Chen.

The contents of the documents in their hands were very simple, and there was nothing but concessions.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was acquainted, they would have patted their butts and walked away.

The reason why they were able to talk to Lao Chen here half-jokingly was entirely because there was still a meeting later...... Discussion on the introduction of foreign films at the end of the year.

Lao Chen looked around the audience, his eyes swept over everyone, and when he confirmed that everyone present thought he was joking, he lowered his voice and answered the young man's question, "Jiang Huo's movie, "Philosopher's Stone" ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Although they knew that the production of "Philosopher's Stone" had been completed, they did not receive any news of the scheduled release.

Not only that, but they didn't even know the news of the trial.

It's not that Mr. Xiang and Old Man Steven deliberately keep it secret, but because the speed of Jiang Huo's side is too fast!

This is a joint venture film, and both parties have to review it, however, at the same time that Steven asked him to submit the film, Jiang Huo's approval document has already come down...... This speed also greatly stimulated the old Jewish man, and Steven discovered for the first time that the efficiency of the original film review could be so fast!

Of course, the review speed of Jiang Huo's film has also refreshed history, and many insiders laughed and said that she was the only one who could break the record again......

In fact, if it weren't for the passage documents from Steven's side that didn't come down until last week, this movie would have been released a long time ago!

"Has "The Philosopher's Stone" been reviewed? When is it going to be released? The Sven man who asked at the beginning pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "I looked at Jiang Huo's scarf, she wants to set a summer vacation, but according to the current situation, it is too late......"

"It's in time, it's in time, next Monday, to the 31st, do you have any questions?" Lao Chen's performance did not mean to discuss cooperation at all, from the inside out, all the words and tones used were all orders!

However, the people present did not take Lao Chen's words as a joke!

"Next Monday? To the thirty-one? This...... Something is wrong, right? The middle-aged man sitting on the left side unbuttoned his suit, and it seemed that the twenty-six degree room also made him feel the heat, and even beads of sweat really appeared on his forehead.

The time Lao Chen said was from August 1 to 31.

This is the summer file that has completed filming! Many imported blockbusters have been prepared! There is no even number of scenes!

If it was a month or two in advance, they would definitely lick their faces and assure Lao Chen of the number of films, but now...... But it's hard to say.

Although they are the real giants and control the lifeblood of film screening, after the negotiation is completed and the contract is signed, they are not easy to turn back.

"There's nothing wrong with that, those films, just move them back, of course, if you reduce the number of films, we won't mind......"

Lao Chen's words were said very lightly, but the people at the scene smelled a trace of unusual smell.

As the representative of the largest cinema chain, Sven man Lao Wang coughed lightly and said: "Lao Chen, there are some things, between us, don't hide them, since you told us about this matter, it means that the release of the film is up to you, in this case, you might as well give us a thorough understanding of how much it wants." ”

Lao Wang's words spoke the hearts of everyone present.

Hearing this, Lao Chen took a deep breath and said a number that was unacceptable to everyone.

"Eighty-five percent? What's the difference between this and 100 percent? ”

"Eighty-five percent of the summer schedule is scheduled? , Lao Chen, do you open a theater or we open a theater! ”

"Old Chen, you won't tell us the truth, right? Eighty-five percent of the proportion, our hospital only takes the lowest maintenance amount of the theater? ”

It is only now that everyone has taken the document on the table seriously.

If what Lao Chen said is true, then they will definitely slap the table and leave!

Everyone is out to do business and make money, this kind of precedent must not be opened!

It doesn't matter who it is! No, it doesn't work!

Didn't you Jiang Huo make movies? Lao Tzu won't broadcast it to you, can you bear with me?

"That's right, what I said is serious, please consider it carefully, and if you have any objections, swallow it in your stomach......"

In the face of everyone's questioning, Lao Chen sat down leisurely, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
