In a conference room, a group of people are arguing, you come and go.

"It's a Cameron movie, you know, Cameron's movie."

"Even Cameron can't change the box office share."

"This is the sequel to the big ship."

"That doesn't change the box office share either."

"The sequel to Cameron's ship."

"It's too much."

In the president's office of Emperor Cinema Line, Lin Ziyi slapped the table angrily when she saw the latest conditions proposed by Cameron.

Fifty percent of the box office share, and Cameron's proposed condition was a fifty percent box office share.

In other words, the movie box office theater and the producer are half and half.

Why?

Cameron is very famous and has a high status in the circle, so he proposed to increase the box office share, and the theater chain is barely acceptable

That's why we have this negotiation.

This is Cameron, if he is replaced by other directors, the theater will not even give him the opportunity to negotiate.

Lin Ziyi's bottom line is to reduce the box office share by 3 percent, that is, theaters and theaters have 55 percent of the box office share, and producers and distributors have 45 percent of the box office.

As a result, Cameron slashed fifty percent with one sword.

It's too exaggerated, this result, no matter what, Lin Ziyi can't accept it.

"What do other theaters say?"

The executive of the Imperial Cinema Chain's negotiation frowned: "There are several small cinema chains that have agreed to Cameron's conditions, but most of them do not agree. ”

"Small theaters don't care about them, the key is that we and AMC and Disney's three major theaters, as long as our three major theaters stick to the bottom line, Cameron can't turn the sky upside down."

Lin Ziyi asked: "Have you communicated with the other two major theater chains, what is their reaction?" ”

The executive said in a deep voice: "Their attitude is the same as ours, unacceptable, I communicated with them privately, saying that this condition is absolutely unacceptable." ”

"That's right." Lin Ziyi nodded: "When does the theater need to see the director's face, what about Cameron, as long as we stick to the bottom line, can he still turn the sky." ”

In the United States, the theater chain stands at the top of the food chain, and instinctively has a kind of arrogance, unwilling to be manipulated by the director, even if the director is Cameron.

In particular, this 50% share has really touched the bottom line of the theater chain.

The executive said: "Maybe Cameron put forward this condition as a negotiation tactic, and we are still negotiating at the moment, as long as our three major theater chains stick to the bottom line, I believe he will compromise." ”

"Okay." Lin Ziyi nodded: "Continue to talk, no matter what, it is impossible to get fifty percent of the share." ”

"I understand." The executive nodded.

Around the same time, Disney Cinemas and AMC Cinemas both had similar conversations.

Fifty percent of the box office share is impossible, even if you are a sequel to Cameron and Ofune, it is impossible, keep talking, talk about it until we are satisfied.

I don't believe it, the dignified cinema line can still make a director handle it.

The attitude of the three major cinema chains is very firm, although several small cinema chains have compromised, but the number of theaters owned by the small cinema chain is not at the same order of magnitude as the three major cinema chains.

The number of theaters in the three major theater chains, such as Emperor Cinemas, AMC Cinemas, Disney Cinemas, and the three major cinema chains together account for 80 percent, as long as the three major cinema chains adhere to a tough attitude, then Cameron has no choice.

Even if your movie is earth-shattering, the classics are incomparable, and the theaters don't release it, what can you do?

How can you make money on streaming platforms, and watching movies through your mobile phone is completely different from watching movies through theaters.

It is precisely because of this confidence that the three major cinema chains dare to maintain a tough attitude.

They firmly believe that as long as they are tough, Cameron will compromise.

But what the theater chain didn't expect happened, Cameron's attitude turned out to be tougher than theirs, and there was no intention of compromise at all.

Even, he stabbed this matter on the Internet.

Once when he participated in the show, Cameron sprayed directly on the show.

"My "Titanic 2" has been filmed, and I can guarantee that it will be a classic that surpasses its predecessor, which can shock people from the heart and make people think about the impermanence of life and fate."

The host asked next to him: "Yes, when will it be released, I must bring my friends and family to watch it together." ”

Cameron immediately said: "It is very likely that this movie will not be released, because the theater chain does not want this movie to be released." ”

The host asked in surprise: "Why, this is a sequel to the big ship, why can't it be released." ”

Cameron said angrily: "Because they feel that 50 percent of the box office share is too low, in the past, theaters have always been 58 percent of the box office share, and those of us who work hard to make movies, after the exploitation of theaters and distribution, finally get only 35 percent of the box office." ”

"This is fair, obviously we made the movie, but we got the least money, and it is better to lie down and collect money."

"I'm just trying to increase the box office share to 50 percent, what's wrong with me, and even so, the theaters still have more money than mine."

After this program was broadcast, it immediately caused a huge response on the Internet.

The audience doesn't understand the twists and turns, they will only stand on the side that they think is right.

Compared with theaters that have little right to speak, the audience naturally believes that Cameron, who is very famous, will naturally stand on his side.

Moreover, there are many viewers who are eager for Cameron's movie, and they are very angry when they hear that they can't watch it in theaters.

"I don't understand why theaters won't let this movie be released, it's a sequel to Big Ship."

"I want to see this movie and can't wait."

"The cinema chain is really excessive, obviously the movie is shot by the director, so the director should make more money."

"It's a pity if you can't see such a classic movie in theaters."

"Why is the theater chain so excessive, you should let this movie be released."

"This is a sequel to Big Ship, even if you don't need money, you should let this movie be released."

Public opinion on the Internet has flipped in a direction that is not conducive to the cinema chain.

Faced with this situation, the three major theater chains are very angry.

Negotiation is negotiation, why poke this matter online.

And put pressure on us in public opinion, you think it will work.

Looking at the public opinion on the Internet, Lin Ziyi exploded her lungs.

She originally thought that she couldn't go too far to give Cameron a little face.

Even if you raise the box office share a little, it's nothing.

But now Cameron's behavior has really touched her bottom line.

She decided not to give this guy face.

Not only does she not give face, but she also wants to make trouble.

Lin Ziyi took out her mobile phone.

Close the door and let Xu Nan go.
