In the office, Lin Ziyi carefully checked the company's reports, especially the attendance rate and box office of the movies being released, which were her key focus.

The box office of the boutique movie "The Hobbit" produced by Fox Film and Television has exceeded 100 million, and the trend is unbeatable, with no signs of falling.

Lin Ziyi had expected this result, this movie itself is very strong, and it has the big IP bonus of The Lord of the Rings, and it is produced by Fox, a film and television giant, and it is normal for good grades to be good, and it is not normal for bad grades to be bad.

In comparison, it is surprising that the bad movie "The Hobbit Era" can have a box office of more than 20 million.

Although I have long known that Xu Nan is constantly operating in China, and he is still very surprised that he can be so fierce in the United States.

Don't even think about it, the movements on the Internet must have been made by Xu Nan.

And he succeeded, the cost of "The Hobbit Era" is only $200,000, but the box office has already reached $20 million, and the production cost and box office are one to 100.

A director who can make money is a good director, and the more money he makes, the more capital likes it.

deliberately scheduling a part of the film to the bad movie "The Hobbit Era" is actually not very profitable for the Imperial Cinema Line, and the attendance rate of this kind of bad movie is definitely not as good as that of a wonderful masterpiece like "The Hobbit".

But Emperor Cinemas has shares in Nanhai Film and Television, counting this, then Emperor Cinemas will make money.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Lin Ziyi said without raising her head.

"President." Garcia, an executive at Imperial Cinemas, walked in.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ziyi is polite and alienated, but people can't find fault with it.

Garcia was also polite: "That's right, just now the vice president of Fox Film and Television called me and asked why we released the movie "The Hobbit Era", and asked us to explain. ”

Lin Ziyi smiled: "What movies our company releases, and what does it have to do with Fox Film and Television, it's their turn to point fingers." ”

Garcia said calmly: "President, our company has a cooperative relationship with Fox Film and Television for many years, so it's best not to be so tough." ”

"I personally suggest that it is best to reduce the schedule of "The Hobbit Era" and increase the schedule of "The Hobbit", so that Fox Film and Television will not care."

Lin Ziyi's painting style changed: "Okay, no problem, you ask Fox Film and Television, "The Hobbit" can make our company a shareholder, if so, I will immediately increase its film schedule." ”

"President." Garcia couldn't help but raise his voice: "The Hobbit has been released, and it is impossible for Fox Film and Television to agree, even if Fox Film and Television agrees, it is impossible for other relevant parties to agree." ”

Lin Ziyi immediately smiled: "Then I don't care how many films I give, Fox Film and Television can't care." ”

Garcia was silent for a while, and finally persuaded him: "President Lin, we'd better not get into such a stiff relationship with Fox Films, I still suggest reducing the schedule of "The Hobbit Era" to "The Hobbit", although the box office of this bad movie is good, but the attendance rate is not as good as "The Hobbit", and if we give "The Hobbit" a higher schedule, our company will be able to make more money." ”

Lin Ziyi's eyes looked directly at Garcia like a sword, Garcia did not show weakness, his expression was calm, and it seemed that he was really thinking about the interests of the theater.

But Lin Ziyi knew that Garcia's purpose was not simple.

"The Hobbit Era" is a movie that she released despite the public, and if the results are not good, it will inevitably affect her prestige in the company, but if the results are too good, it will also affect the prestige of Garcia's executives who oppose the release of the film.

Therefore, Garcia took action, wanting to reduce the schedule of "The Hobbit Era", reduce the performance of the movie, and reduce the adverse impact on him.

The reasons are high-sounding and considered for the benefit of the company.

This is a factional struggle in the company, almost all large companies can't avoid it, Lin Ziyi suffers from it, but there is really no way to do it in a short period of time, so she can only work hard to improve it little by little.

Faced with Garcia's suggestion, Lin Ziyi suddenly smiled: "No, because the company has a 30% stake in Nanhai Film and Television, the producer of the movie "The Hobbit Era". ”

"How I don't know." Garcia was shocked and blurted out.

Lin Ziyi didn't answer, just smiled.

Garcia quickly calmed down and found it tricky.

Since the company has a share of "The Hobbit Era", it certainly can't cut back the film's schedule.

How can there be any reason to reduce your company's film schedule, which is equivalent to giving money to others.

Garcia quickly figured out the pros and cons and barely smiled.

"I understand the president, then I'll reply to Fox Films."

Garcia left the office.

"Huh." Lin Ziyi pouted and smiled.

All along, she was angry with these elders, and now she can finally get back a game.

This is just the beginning, sooner or later she will have to get rid of these people who are in the way, as well as the film and television companies that boycott her.

"Emperor Cinemas does not agree to increase the film schedule?"

After receiving the news from Fox Film and Television, James frowned.

Film scheduling has a great impact on a movie, even if a movie has a good reputation, the theater chain does not schedule films, the audience can't see the movie, and they still can't make money.

Now that the Imperial Cinema Line is determined not to schedule films, he can't help it.

This has already involved the struggle between theaters and film and television companies, and it is not something that he can change as a director.

"Director James, can you take a look at this?"

At this time, assistant Gina suddenly entered the room and clicked on a live broadcast room with her mobile phone.

"Welcome to the Tonight Show, and today, we've got Mr. Martin, the famous film critic."

In the live broadcast room, a fat host in a suit came with an excited opening statement.

James knows this show, it is more famous, although it has not reached the point where everyone knows it, but there are many people who know it, and the influence is not small.

Such a program actually took the initiative to invite film critic Martin to participate.

James' curiosity was immediately raised, and he took his assistant's phone to see what was next.

On the screen, the host was emotional and full of words.

"He is a famous film critic who has been in the industry for five years, has written more than 400 film reviews, and has 550,000 fans."

"He was the first film critic to criticize the movie Hobbit, and he is currently the only film critic who continues to criticize the Hobbit."

"He is an Internet celebrity and a mentor in the hearts of many netizens."

"He's ————Martin!!"

Amid the host's screams, Martin appears and sits in a chair.
