Chapter 38: How much more money can other movies make with manslaughter?

"All of them are "Manslaughter"? What about other movies? ”

After a long while, the person in charge asked stunned.

You must know that although there are many people who watch "Manslaughter", it doesn't mean that no one watches other movies!

The boss glanced at the box office situation in the cinema today, and asked lightly: "Compared with "Manslaughter", how much money can those movies make?" ”

Person in charge: "......"

Is it just a matter of making money?

Have you ever considered how we can explain to the audience who watched other movies when we all lined up "Manslaughter".

But the person in charge also knows that explaining to the audience is not a problem that the boss needs to consider.

There was no time to be depressed, so he hurried to arrange the next things.

After the person in charge left, the owner of the movie theater also made a phone call.

In fact, although he has the right to decide on the scheduling of films, he still needs to report to the cinema chain.

Especially like today, when all the movies are suddenly canceled, it must be reported in advance.

Cough... Debrief.

"Hello? Huh, what's the matter? A bold voice came from across the phone.

The Mr. Hu in his mouth is Hu Zhenguo, the owner of the movie theater.

On the opposite side is Wang Chengren, the general manager of the cinema line.

"Mr. Wang, I have something here that I want to report to you." Hu Zhen said in Chinese with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, Wang Chengren laughed first: "Hahaha, Mr. Hu, it just so happens that I also have something to tell you, you let me say it first, it is estimated that the two of us are going to talk about one thing." ”

"Uh... You say, then. ”

"Okay, let me ask you first, are there a lot of people waiting to watch "Manslaughter" downstairs in your movie theater?" Wang Chengren asked.

Hu Zhenguo's eyes widened slightly: "How do you know?" ”

Wang Chengren replied: "Then why don't I know, just because of this incident, I haven't lost my phone tonight!" ”

"That's the case with other movie theaters?"

Hu Zhenguo looked at the window again.

There are at least 200 people here.

Wang Chengren's tone sounded quite emotional: "Eighty percent of the theaters under the cinema chain are in this situation!" ”

Eighty percent?

Hu Zhenguo silently calculated in his heart.

Immediately afterward, he was even more silent.

Because of this 80 percent, it's almost 400 theaters!

He didn't expect that Su Yang's influence would be so great now?!

Facts have proved that Su Yang's influence is so great now!

After digesting Wang Chengren's words, Hu Zhenguo opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Mr. Wang, since there is such a situation, then we can't ignore it." ”

Wang Chengren nodded on the other side of the phone and said, "Yes, so isn't this here to inform you that the solution is coming." ”

"What's the solution?"

Hu Zhenguo was a little nervous.

Canceling other movie schedules without authorization won't cause trouble to the theater chain, right?

Wang Chengren's tone became serious: "All the theaters where this situation occurs, other films are suspended, and all Su Yang's "Manslaughter" is screened. ”

"I guarantee that all viewers who want to watch "Manslaughter" can watch "Manslaughter" tonight!"

All theaters where this happens.

That is, more than 400 theaters, all of which screen "Manslaughter"?

"Hello? Phew? Why don't you speak? ”

Without waiting for Hu Zhenguo's response for a long time, Wang Chengren asked.

"Huh? It's okay, it's okay, you go on. Hu Zhenguo responded.

In fact, he was already stunned by the news at the moment.

Although he also arranged it this way just now.

But it was their own theater.

Now there are hundreds of theaters.

You have discussed with other filmmakers and signed a contract for the film.

If you suddenly say cancel, you won't be afraid of liquidated damages?

They should have given "Manslaughter" more films to make more money!

Let's not talk about losing money for the time being.

Even for the audience who came to watch other movies tonight, it is probably not easy to explain.

Should I say it or not, Hu Zhenguo suddenly realized the difficulty of the person in charge of the theater.

But then, Wang Chengren's words solved his doubts: "For customers who watch other movies, you have a better attitude and apologize, if they are willing to exchange their tickets for "Manslaughter", more refunds and less... There is no need for them to make up for it, if it is an audience who does not want to watch the manslaughter, they will directly refund the ticket at twice the ticket price. ”

"Double refund?!"

This passage is like throwing a thunder directly in front of Hu Zhenguo.

He came back to his senses in an instant.

How much does a double refund cost?

There are only a few cinemas, and he can still understand.

Now it's hundreds, don't you lose money if you refund your ticket like this?

Hu Zhenguo couldn't understand this approach, so he asked directly: "Will this lose money?" ”

Wang Chengren smiled bitterly: "How can you know if you lose money now, you have to wait for the box office to come out tomorrow." ”

"Then why do you have to double the refund?" Hu Zhenguo didn't understand it even more, he proposed: "Let's just narrow down the scope a little bit, and only let some movie theaters screen all "Manslaughter", and other movie theaters continue to schedule films according to the original plan, or can we refund the money at the original price?" ”

Regarding Hu Zhenguo's question, Wang Chengren explained with a smile: "Mr. Hu, I have also thought about what you said, but when you come to watch the movie, you must spend more than the money to buy tickets, so we should refund twice, and we don't have to care about these small money." ”

"How many theaters do you have to arrange?" Hu Zhenguo asked.

To be honest, under this arrangement, liquidated damages and refunds are absolutely indispensable.

Not to mention making money, losing money is about the same.

Isn't arranging all movie theaters to show "Manslaughter" to take the opportunity to make a profit?

Regarding Hu Zhenguo's question, Wang Chengren was quiet for a while, and then spoke in a more serious tone: "It's even more impossible to narrow the scope, you have opened a movie theater for a short time, but you should have heard that when the film industry was the most difficult a few years ago, the entire industry was supported by Su Yang's bad films, and I am no exception." Look at my current beauty, but in those years, I couldn't even get out the money for my mother's medical treatment, if it weren't for Su Yang, he wouldn't know where his old man would be now. ”

"I know you're worried about the theater chain losing money, but do you know that Su Yang went bankrupt in order to support the entire film industry, and it's nothing for me to lose this night."

After listening to the explanation, what else does Hu Zhenguo not understand?

Although he has opened a movie theater for a short time, Su Yang's affairs have been popularized by many people.

It's just that he didn't expect that even Mr. Wang, who is usually beautiful, has been favored by Su Yang!

At this moment, he realized Su Yang's contribution to the film industry.

It's not just filmmakers in the entertainment industry.

Even these ordinary businesses related to movies rely on Su Yang to support them!

Hanging up the phone, he didn't delay for a moment, and hurriedly instructed what Wang Chengren said.
