Chapter 1189: Cooperation

"Jeff, my boss hopes that AMC Theaters will refuse to cooperate with Ye Xuan, that is, on April 10th, my boss doesn't want "Iron Man" to be released in AMC Theaters!"

Daniel, vice president of Tianwei Entertainment, said to Jeff proudly.

Jeff's face turned pale, and his hands clutched the handle of his chair.

Looking at Daniel in front of him, Jeff couldn't wait to punch him.

What does Smith mean and what do the other seven entertainment companies mean?

Do you really think of yourself as a dog they call at will?

Especially for this kind of important thing, they actually sent Daniel over, and none of the presidents of the eight major entertainment companies came in person.

At the same time, Jeff felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Ten years ago, at the height of AMC Cinema's glory, Jeff owned 130 movie theater chains in the United States, and the presidents of the eight major entertainment companies at that time respected him.

In ten years, the presidents of the eight major entertainment companies jointly invested in Universal Cinemas, costing tens of billions of dollars!

From then on, Jeff discovered that the attitude of the presidents of the eight major entertainment companies had changed.

The reason why I curry favor with Jeff in the first place was mainly because of AMC Cinemas. Now that they have Universal Cinema, they naturally dismiss Jeff.

As a result, the scale of AMC gradually became smaller, and Jeff was powerless in the face of the eight major entertainment companies.

The eight major entertainment companies gradually intensified their efforts against Jeff.

The first is the sharing contract!

For example, Ye Xuan's "Iron Man" was released in AMC Theaters and earned 100 yuan at the box office, and 5 yuan out of 100 yuan belonged to AMC Theaters without tax deduction.

This is a normal share.

But the movies of the eight major entertainment companies were released in AMC theaters, and they only earned a pitiful income of three percent, that is, they earned a hundred dollars, and Jeff could only get three dollars.

That's not enough!

Some time ago, the eight major entertainment companies discussed continuing to revise their contracts, from 3 percent to 2 percent.

If that's the case, Jeff can only agree.

There is no way, the eight major entertainment companies have at least 50 movies with an investment of more than 100 million yuan every year, and only about 80 movies were released in the United States last year.

"Boss, agree, there's no need to offend the eight major entertainment companies because of Ye Xuan."

"That is, if it weren't for the eight major entertainment companies, we would have gone out of business a long time ago!"

"Boss, what are you hesitating about, agree."

In the small conference room, AMC executives kept urging Jeff.

Hearing his employees speak for others, everyone looks impatient, and Jeff is very sad in his heart.

"Could it be... Are you willing to be squeezed by the eight major entertainment companies all the time? ”

"Could it be... Are you used to being dogs? Others are happy to throw a bone, but they are not happy to kick you! ”

Jeff slammed the table.

"Get out! Get out of here! ”

"And, Daniel, go back and tell Smith. AMC I'm in power, I don't agree! ”

Jeff pointed at Daniel and said loudly.

Hearing Jeff's words, Daniel was also stunned.

"Hehe, Jeff. Don't forget, I represent Tianwei Entertainment and the eight major entertainment companies. If you don't listen to my boss, all the movies of the eight major entertainment companies in the future will not be released in AMC theaters. I hope you've thought it through! ”

"You're threatening me?"

Jeff said with a glare.

"You can understand it that way." Daniel shrugged.

"Boss, you have to think carefully. Without the movies of the eight major entertainment companies being released in our cinemas, we are really not far from going out of business! ”

"I really don't understand, boss, why do you want to break up with the eight major entertainment companies because of a small role. That's the eight major entertainment companies, they are equivalent to monopolizing most of the entertainment market in the United States! ”

"Boss, you have to think about it!"

"Get out! I don't know your turn to teach me! ”

Jeff glanced at the familiar faces in front of him.

These people are the management of AMC Cinema Line, and they are also the people who follow him.

When people get old, they are afraid?

AMC has assets of $30 billion, but AMC is not a public company, and Jeff is the absolute helmsman of the company.

"Very well, I'll tell my boss what you said as it is!"

Seeing that Jeff was so ignorant, Daniel left directly.

"Cool!"

Jeff squirted wildly, and Daniel was very happy.

Over the years, he has been groveling in the face of the eight major entertainment companies, and now he straightens his waist and speaks hard!

Ignoring the complaints of the old employees and Rory's ramblings, Jeff immediately bought a plane ticket to Hollywood.

Now that he has torn his face with the eight major entertainment companies, he should have a more intimate cooperative relationship with Ye Xuan!

Los Angeles, Hollywood.

Hearing the news that Jeff was coming, Ye Xuan personally went to the airport to pick up the plane.

After seeing Ye Xuan, Jeff remembered what Ye Xuan said that day.

"Are you really willing to be a dog for the rest of your life?"

"Mr. Ye Xuan."

Jeff smiled and said hello to Ye Xuan.

"Jeff, long time no see. It just so happens that I have brought a lot of souvenirs from Huaxia that you can try. ”

In the business car, Ye Xuan handed a box of mooncakes to Jeff.

"I don't know if the mooncakes sold in Chinatown are authentic or not, but the mooncakes I brought from Huaxia are absolutely authentic!"

"Thank you."

Jeff smiled.

He liked the way he chatted with Ye Xuan.

That's what a partner is!

Looking at the eight major entertainment companies and Daniel's face in the morning, the more Jeff thought about it, the more disgusting he became.

"Mr. Ye Xuan, maybe you don't know yet. Before I came to Hollywood, Daniel, the vice president of Tianwei Entertainment..."

Jeff gave a brief account of what had happened in the morning.

United AMC theaters to ban "Iron Man"?

Ye Xuan smiled and said nothing.

"Since you've told me everything, Jeff, you must have made your choice!" Ye Xuan quickly guessed Jeff's thoughts.

"That's right!"

"Mr. Ye Xuan, from now on, AMC Cinema will cooperate with you and Tenglong Entertainment Company. What I want is a friendly collaborator, not a co-op who has been squeezing and forcing me. Jeff stretched out his hand to Ye Xuan.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

"Jeff, the contract is still five percent of what it used to be. It won't change now, and it won't change in the future. Of course, if it changes, then it will definitely be six percent or even higher, and a win-win situation is the most important thing I want to see. ”

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and said.

"Also, times have changed. There are also a lot of good movies in Huaxia, and I will screen them in the future, and good Huaxia movies will be released in AMC theaters to make up for the gap period when there are no movies in the cinema. ”

"Yes!"

Jeff agreed with Ye Xuan's proposal, which would be beneficial to him and AMC Cinema.

"By the way, Jeff, are you interested in going see Iron Man? I haven't watched the film since it was filmed. ”

Ye Xuan invited.

"Then I'll be in for a treat." Jeff rubbed his hands.

Recently, "Iron Man" has been in an uproar, as for Ye Xuan's mouth, watching "Iron Man" is not to go to the cinema, but to watch it privately.

You know, April 10th is still four days away!
