Chapter 309: The Big Four of Film and Television Fire at the Theater
.......
"1.2 billion!"
"The box office target of "1942" is directly aimed at 1.2 billion!"
Feng Pants had just finished bragging about it, and before he could take a breath, he felt a flower in front of him, and Fang Ziheng appeared in front of him like a ghost.
He didn't have time to think, his wrist subconsciously exerted force, following the rhythm of Fang Ziheng's shaking.
In this way, the two shook hands in front of reporters, showing a picture of harmony and love.
Three seconds later.
Feng Pants came back to his senses, and while withdrawing his hand, he smiled happily: "Thank you Director Fang for coming to cheer and make tonight's premiere shine!" ”
it!
The old paper is pretending to be forced, what are you doing when you come up to interrupt?
It's really eyeless!
Hey..
What is that?
As soon as he complained a few words, Feng pants stared at him, and saw a hot gold invitation in the corner of Fang Ziheng's jacket pocket.
it!
There are twelve invitations written by Zhongjun himself, how can this guy also have one?
Moment..
Feng Pants's face changed again, and he looked at Fang Ziheng again with a suspicious gaze.
Still so young, so handsome.
Phew!
Handsome yarn~!
I didn't expect it!
Fang Ziheng's position was even more important than he imagined.
He almost forgot that in addition to being an international director, Fang Ziheng also has another identity.
The youngest billionaire in the new world!
alas
People are really angry compared to people!
I want him to make movies for 15 years, and he doesn't have a billion fortunes.
In just four years, it's just!!
Feng pants were depressed, and his heart was extremely sad.
If Fang Ziheng can see through his heart, it is estimated that he will be happy.
Of course.
After all, Feng Pants is an old fox, even if he has a hard temperament, he will not appear on the surface of this kind of scene.
He didn't show a trace on his face, and with a happy smile, he pulled Fang Ziheng inside.
"Director Fang, how is the filming of "The Great Wall", the big production of 150 million US dollars, I can't even think of it!"
"There are still more than 20 days to complete post-production, and the Chinese New Year file will not be able to catch up, and strive to be released in the Spring Festival."
Hearing this, Feng Pants felt a little relieved, and the smile on his face was even worse.
The Spring Festival is good, there is no need for the two tigers to fight!
He was really afraid that Fang Ziheng would suddenly come up with a sentence: "The Great Wall" has been raised, and the news that it will premiere soon.
Don't look at what he said in front of reporters some time ago, saying that he was not afraid of any opponent.
This 'any opponent' does not include Fang Ziheng.
Feng pants refer to the three movies "Four Famous Catches", "Zodiac", and "Chinese Partner".
The two chatted while walking, and the cordial scene was seen by countless people in the gymnasium.
The entertainment reporters didn't care about being ignored by Feng Pants, and followed the two of them to follow the report.
Kaka..
Lines of white light hit the two of them from various angles.
personally sent Fang Ziheng to the door of the rest hall, Feng Pants couldn't help it, and secretly said: "As soon as Director Fang came, he stole the limelight from my old Feng." ”
"Why, when you get on the stage, Director Feng is the most handsome cub in the whole gymnasium!"
Fang Ziheng replied with a smile, and pushed open the door of the lounge with a relaxed face, leaving the back of his head.
Gee
Feng pants are still so cautious, even if a small limelight is robbed, he has to care.
Entering the lounge, Fang Ziheng greeted the heavyweight guests inside.
"Everyone, meet again!"
"Yo, Fang Dong is here."
"Haha, Director Fang has been practicing in retreat for many days, and he has achieved great success!"
The time has come to six o'clock in the evening, in addition to Fang Ziheng, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian, the three film and television giants at the helm, seven of the top ten theater chains in the country have also come.
In addition, Han Dong and Zhang Wall of Alibaba Pictures, and Song Ge of Wanda Film and Television are worthy of thirteen heavyweight guests.
Han Dong's invitation letter was delivered by Wang Zhongjun in person, and all the twelve copies of Wang Zhonglei's run were gathered here.
The lounge is not big, but it is extraordinarily luxurious.
Wang Zhongjun and Han Dong sat on the main seat, their faces full of red light and high spirits.
Seeing Fang Ziheng come in, he got up with a smile, walked over and said with a big brother's style: "Fang Dong is the last to come, and he will be punished with three glasses of wine at the dinner party!" ”
"Yes, yes, Fang Dong's alcohol consumption has been increasing recently, and he must drink a few more glasses."
Yu Dong and Wang Changtian also stepped forward to greet them, smiling and joking.
The four of them stood together, full of oppression, and they gave people a sense of unity and uniformity.
This sense of déjà vu, not to mention Han Dong, an old officialdom who has been up and down for many years, can be clearly felt by Zhang Wall, Song Ge, and the seven heads of the cinema.
Bad!
Wu Jianguo, the person in charge of Xingmei Cinema, had his eyelids beating, and his heart tightened for no reason.
Wang Zhongjun's words just now made him hear something bad.
Fang Dong is the last guest to arrive tonight!
This sentence is famous!
Wu Jianguo first looked at Han Dong, who was as steady as Mount Tai, without looking for a trace, and then looked around the entire lounge.
Except for the three of Wang and Han Dong, there are only five film and television companies and seven theaters in the lounge, and there is no one else!
Wu Jianguo also noticed that there was no staff in the lounge who even served tea and poured water, and Wang Zhonglei served everyone throughout the process.
"Interesting, Hua Yi is here prepared tonight!"
"I just don't know if it's Wang Zhongjun's meaning alone, or if it's the common idea of the four giants."
Wu Jianguo muttered in his heart and grasped the crux of the problem.
.......
What happened next proved Wu Jianguo's guess.
Not long after Fang Ziheng sat down, Wang Zhongjun took the lead and fired the first shot at the seven theater leaders in the lounge.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a proposal here for your reference."
Wang Zhongjun sat on the sofa with a serious expression and a loud voice: "I personally think that the current account sharing of our Huaguo theater chain is very unreasonable, and the whole world is divided into five or five accounts, only we still abide by the old rules, the producer can only account for 43%, and the theater chain has an extra 7 points of income!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the lounge suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused.
Fang Ziheng looked at Yu Dong and Wang Changtian for a second, and then turned to pay attention to the reactions of the seven theater leaders.
Today's occasion is not for no reason, it is deliberately done by Wang Zhongjun, Fang Ziheng, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian.
Its purpose is to bring movies to put pressure on the theater chain and readjust the proportion of film account sharing.
This proposal was put forward by Wang Zhongjun when the four of them had a party to drink tea, and Fang Ziheng and the three agreed to it, and then planned.
Originally, Fang Ziheng proposed to wait for the release of the two movies "Four Famous Catches 2" and "Chinese Partner" before starting it.
Wang Zhongjun is iron-headed, and what to say is not too late to say anything, and insists on firing a cannon in "1942".
This guy is very confident in "1942".
I remember that at that time, according to the feedback from the Huayi publicity department and the big data analysis made by Ali Film and Television, Wang Zhongjun vowed that the movie would have a box office of at least 800 million, and it was even expected to be 1 billion, which was enough to coerce the theater chain.
Fang Ziheng had no choice but to retreat behind him and let Hua Yi act as the flag bearer.
Anyway.
Huayi's move is all for the producer's interests, everyone is all the way, standing on the same front.
The four giants here work together, and the seven theater chains have also chosen to merge, or all the theater chains in the country have maintained an inherent tacit understanding in account sharing.
I saw Liu Gemeng, the general manager of Wanda Cinema Line, stretch out his hand, stop Wang Zhongjun's speech for the first time, and said loudly: "Wang Dong, the movie account sharing ratio has been running for many years, how can you say that it is unreasonable, and you will change it!" ”
The proportion of foreign accounts is not counted as 5% of the special fund for films and 3.3% of taxes! ”
Liu Ge refuted Wang Zhongjun in one sentence, and the meaning was obvious.
8.3% of the income was originally owned by the producer according to the international account, if you have the ability, you can find the country, don't compete with our theater chain.
After finishing speaking, Liu Ge glared at Song Ge of Wanda Film and Television fiercely, and secretly scolded him for turning his elbow out.
Song Ge shrugged, his face innocent.
He was also shot while lying down, and he didn't know that the Big Four were going to play this game today.
However, as the person in charge of Wanda Film and Television, he is also happy to see it, if he can really adjust the account sharing ratio, a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions can at least earn back millions more profits.
Then, a war of words erupted in the lounge.
Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, four film producers.
Liu Ge of Wanda Cinemas.
Baoli Cinema Line Liu Debing.
Jinyi Pearl River Yihai.
China Film Digital Cinema Li Jianjun.
China Film Southern Shinkansen Cinema Line Zhang Haiyan.
Shadow United Cinema Shen Yue.
Six theater tigers, four to six, launched a fierce language competition.
One side stated that it must increase the proportion of account sharing, and the other side is as stubborn as King Kong, and will not let go.
The two sides looked excited, saliva wantonly, and almost rolled up their sleeves to fight.
In the end, Han Dong couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand to stop everyone's dispute.
"Alright, stop arguing!"
"Quarrels, there is no solution!"
Han Dong scolded, his eyes flowed, he looked at the frowning and contemplative Xingmei Wu Jianguo, and then looked at Fang Ziheng with a calm expression, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Dong, Hengyu Media is both the producer and the theater party, can you tell me how to solve this account sharing problem?" ”
How to fix it?
Of course, it's five or five!
How many movie theaters and how many screens are there in Hengyu Cinema Line!
The corners of Fang Ziheng's mouth twitched, and he almost blurted out what was in his heart.
And Wu Jianguo, who is a star of beauty, flashed his eyes and heard Han Dong's mysterious voice.
Han Dong, do you want to support the producer?
"Ahem.."
Fang Ziheng coughed lightly and smiled lightly in the face of everyone's eyes: "Speaking of which, when my previous movies were released, I was mostly taken care of by major theaters and gave Hengyu three or four points of profit. ”
"Three or four points, although it is not much, compared with the total box office of the movie, there are also two or three hundred million earnings."
Fang Ziheng did not directly define it, but sold a good one first to ease the excitement of the seven theater leaders present.
After seeing the seven people breathe a sigh of relief, Fang Ziheng spoke up again, taking himself as an example and saying: "For example, "Looking for the Dragon", after deducting 8.3% of the special fund and taxes, the theater chain made a profit of six points, and the proportion of the movie's account sharing once came to 49%, which gave Fang a lot of face and surprise. ”
Hearing him lay out the data, the smiles on the corners of the mouths of the seven theater leaders became more and more popular, and they couldn't wait to applaud.
That's it, the theater chain doesn't really eat people and don't spit out bones, as long as your movie is a big hit, we will take the initiative to make profits without you opening your mouth.
Source change app】
For those movies that can't sell at the box office, the release of a single release is not enough to offset the maintenance fee of the theater, so that the profit is a yarn.
Thinking of this, Brother Liu, Shen Yue and the others swept towards Wang Zhongjun, and finally understood why this guy had the confidence to harden them today.
Hua Yi recognized that "1942" could be a big hit!
How much box office can it hit?
If you can really pile up 1 billion, why not let the theater make a few benefits.
But having said that, it can't be calculated that way.
You, Wang Zhongjun, are forcing everyone on this occasion today, putting the topic on the bright side, and you want to flip the table!
A "1942" is okay, their theaters can take a step back.
All movies have increased the proportion of account sharing, don't even think about it!
The seven of them made up their minds, even if they had Han Dong's face and Fang Ziheng helped the big round, they would not agree to Wang Zhongjun today.
They think too much.
Fang Ziheng is not helping to play a round, he is just doing the preliminary preparation.
No one wants to raise the proportion of movie accounts more than him, and raise it permanently.
After saying a few words, Fang Ziheng changed his words and said in a condensed voice: "Seven, I want to thank you first for looking at me Fang Ziheng, but there is indeed an unreasonable account sharing ratio.
49% seems to be very high, but "Looking for the Dragon" exchanged for a mainland box office of 1.5 billion!
If the theater chain does not raise the proportion, the producer will swallow up at least 80 million in revenue!
80 million, enough to shoot several small-budget movies! ”
Speaking of this, Fang Ziheng paused slightly, shook his head at the changing faces of the seven people, and continued: "In my opinion, the cinema occupies 50% of the share, which is very reasonable, and the 7% obtained by the cinema management company is completely sucking the producer's blood, which is absolutely unreasonable!" ”
"I understand your cinema management very well, every time you promote a popular movie, the management is as busy as the producer and distributor, and the three parties work together to promote the film to a wide audience.
Tripartite cooperation was a good thing, but now it has changed.
No matter how I look at it, I think that all along, it is the producer who is supporting the theater management with 7% of the net box office revenue! ”
Rumble..
The lounge was like a bombshell being dropped, and it boiled instantly.
Everyone sat up straight and looked at Fang Ziheng in a daze, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
What the hell!
The cinema management company has been living on the film producer!
This angle of understanding.
It's so weird and tricky..
Not to mention that the seven theater directors were dumbfounded, even Wang Zhongjun and others were also wide-eyed and speechless.
Syllable!
Wu Jianguo, who had never spoken, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a light breath and said slowly: "Director Fang, this is too hurtful and angry."
How can China flatten the cinemas distributed all over the country, connect interpersonal relationships in various places, and gather strength for development and construction without various cinema management companies.
It's not that we have to deduct the 7% net box office revenue, but the theater management is also difficult, more than 40 theaters across the country, and tens of thousands of high-level and middle-level managers all live on the 7% income!
If they are bitten away by the filmmaker, these tens of thousands of people will not make a fuss! ”
Wu Jian's Chinese tone was inexplicable, and he easily took Fang Ziheng's words back, with a look that they had no choice but to do it.
It's not that these people in charge don't want to agree, but the management of theaters across the country can only make a living from it.
These words reached the hearts of the other six people!
From their point of view, they don't want to stiffen the relationship with the Big Four.
At present, there are many film and television companies in the entertainment industry, but only a few can make achievements.
Film and television companies that can create blockbuster movies are even less pitiful.
And the theaters all over the country, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the complexity is incomparable, and there are more than 20 of them that can be called.
A single theater chain, if it does not rank high in the country, it really does not dare to directly criticize a film and television company that exports movies sustainably.
In order to ease the relationship between the theater chain and the film and television company, since the release of Fang Ziheng's "Four Famous Catches", the theater chain has begun to take the initiative to give up one or two points of profit.
Before that, only Lao Mouzi enjoyed this honor, which was the arrogant result of Zhang Weiping, the boss of the new picture.
Feng pants, that is, enjoyed it in "Tangshan Earthquake", and the theater gave up two points when the box office exceeded 600 million.
"Mr. Wu was too worried, I didn't think about it in one step, the formal policy documents need to be considered, and I don't dare to interfere as a small director."
Fang Ziheng chuckled, pulled back and forth, and continued to use the soft knife to consume the patience of the person in charge of the theater.
Really.
As soon as he heard this, the old and spicy Wu Jianguo couldn't sit still anymore, and took the initiative to ask: "What does Fang Dong mean?" ”
The other six people in charge, Qi Qi took a deep breath, forced the depression in his heart and looked at it.
Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Wang Zhonglei also stared at Fang Ziheng, expecting him to tell the true meaning of today.
Only Han Dong was as calm as water, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai with a teacup.
"Dear colleagues, Fang's proposal is to carry out a new step-by-step cooperation, taking "1942" as an example, you can divide the accounts of the film producer and the theater chain in different proportions within the box office of 300 million, 400 million, 600 million, 700 million, 800 million, and 1 billion!"
For example, the box office of 300 million remains unchanged, 43% of the producers and 57% of the theaters are divided.
Once the film reaches 400 million votes, it will be carried out according to 45% to 55%, and the box office of 600 million will go further, according to 47% to 53%.
If "1942" reaches the box office of 800 million, the share ratio will be adjusted to 49% to 51%.
If it can exceed 1 billion, then according to the international account sharing ratio, after deducting 8.3%, the two sides will split the account fifty-fifty! ”
Fang Ziheng's expression was calm, and in the face of everyone's expectant eyes, he slowly put the strategy he had set with Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian in front of everyone.
This strategy was balanced by his efforts to appease Wang Zhongjun and the three.
According to the meaning of the three people, they want to take advantage of today's unified account sharing ratio, and the movies released by the four giants must strive for at least 48% to 52%.
If the theater chain opposes, they will gather all the film and television companies in the country to apply to the radio and television together, and challenge all the theater chains.
