The next day.

This matter was reported in the newspaper.

It caused a small shock in the circle.

Zhang Dacang's purpose is very clear: "The proportion of domestic films at the box office has dropped sharply, the market is sluggish, and the producer bears huge investment risks."

The ratio of foreign films is usually 50:50, and the investment sharing ratio can protect the interests of the producers, and now that the Celestial Empire film market has developed to a new stage, it is necessary to increase the box office revenue share of "Thirteen Hairpins"

"Big brother in the lead" raised his arms and shouted.

Standing behind him are Huayi, Jiangdong Entertainment, Guangguang, Bona, Pony Galloping, Yinghuang.

Almost all the film production companies in the circle agreed.

immediately detonated the focus of public opinion.

At the tail end of the National Day file, when the curtain has not yet been lifted on the Lunar New Year file, many professionals in the film and television industry are discussing this matter.

In this regard, the eight major cinemas reacted instantly, and after the meeting, they gave a strong and clear response:

"It's not in order!"

"If you can't talk about it, you will refuse to screen "Thirteen Hairpins"!"

"People who only make one movie a year must be able to carry it!"

"Yu Tang, when are you coming to the magic capital to gather."

Zhou Yutang received a call from Wu Heru of the United Cinema Line, and let go of the hand on the waist of the beauty in Tsing Yi: "Mr. Wu, there have been a lot of things recently." ”

"Hehe, you also heard about Zhang Weiping, right?"

"Oh, what do you think of Mr. Wu?"

Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly.

"Zhang Cannon's trick, it's a beautiful game, I tied you all together, and I want to raise the ticket price of "Thirteen Hairpins"

"Yu Tang, you also have a movie theater, you should know that in the current environment, it is difficult to do."

Listening to Wu Heru talk about this matter from another angle, Zhou Yutang suddenly felt a little sudden,

"Mr. Wu, I have counted this matter."

hung up the phone, Zeng Li rarely saw Zhou Yutang have such a solemn expression on his face.

Slightly curious, he asked, "Our company, do you also do cinemas?" ”

"When we acquired Golden Harvest, we also took over the mainland cinema business, and now there are about 21 cinemas in first-tier cities across the country, several of which are in Shencheng, and there are also cinemas to open in Beijing this year."

Zhou Yutang gently rubbed the waist of the beauty in Tsing Yi, thinking about other things.

With the advancement of urbanization policies, domestic cinemas will usher in a period of rapid development.

In the past, Zhou Yutang had no money to do a cinema line, but after taking over Jiahe, he also began to expand slowly, although there is still a lot of distance compared to several major cinemas, but after all, it is making steady progress.

The cinema is the terminal.

Doing a good job in the terminal is also part of the investment, and it will definitely make money in the future.

In his mind, Wu Heru's words were revisited with deep meaning.

Zeng Li didn't interrupt Zhou Yutang's thinking, she poured tea for him with her slender hand, leaned on him, and played with the Four Seasons series rose ring on her finger.

On top of the pretty face, there is a smile.

This ring, that night, she only said that it was very good-looking, and Zhou Yutang turned her head and photographed it at the Bazaar charity dinner.

In fact, Zeng Li has a lot of jewelry, but this ring is basically not worn, only for treasure and appreciation.

"Zhang Dacang's routine is a bit deep."

"What's wrong?"

After a long time, Zhou Yutang raised the teacup, took a sip gently, shook his head and smiled, and explained the way to Zeng Li.

Don't look at Zhang Dacang's righteous behavior when he was in a meeting with the bigwigs of several major production companies.

It is necessary to strive for a share of the box office for the producer and the theater company, and an attitude of seeking welfare for the entire film production industry.

But in fact, he kidnapped several major production companies, which became his bargaining chip for "Thirteen Hairpins" and the theater chain.

If it weren't for Wu Heru's close relationship with him, he revealed the news in advance.

Zhou Yutang was almost put on a swing by Zhang Dacang.

Zeng Li was the producer of the movie, and of course he knew the doorway, and said angrily: "Zhang Weiping, what an old fox." ”

"It's indeed an old fox who has cultivated to perfection."

Zhou Yutang's fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop.

He suddenly found that he had a smooth journey, and he seemed to underestimate Zhang Dacang.

This guy, if he doesn't have a dim sum machine, how can he treat the national teacher as a wage earner and play around?

In November, the National Day file had just come to an end, and "Xinhai Revolution" took the lead in running after deleting the passionate fragments and fired the first shot of the New Year file.

However, this main theme movie with an investment of 120 million yuan in Shanghai Film does not have the momentum of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" to dominate the National Day file.

8.8 million on the first day of release, was defeated by the imported blockbuster "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and fell through the glasses inside and outside the circle.

Zhou Yutang received a call from Ren Zhonglun, only to hear him sigh incessantly: "Yutang, it's hard to make a movie!" ”

"Mr. Ren, look at the point, maybe there is hope for a counterattack in the future."

"There's not much hope, and there is still "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", and then it's going to be released, right?"

Ren Zhonglun's tone was inevitably depressed.

He spent a lot of money to invite Cheng Long, Li Binbin, Hu Ge and others.

But when the box office came out on the first day, his heart was half cold.

Although it is not a hot schedule, the film schedule is not low, and there are units to charter the venue, so the box office is obviously unable to recover the cost.

"It's going to be released in a few days."

"Alas, I hope that the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" at that time will be decent."

“.”

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

A few days ago, this super large-investment film project finally announced the lineup to the public.

Sun Jianjun, who is also the boss and director of the investor, personally went into battle, and Shanghai Film Group also participated in the investment, and invited a luxurious lineup starring Liu Dehua, Lin Zhilin, Tong Dawei, Zhang Jingchu, etc.

Can it really be decent?

Zhou Yutang mourned for Ren Zhonglun for a few seconds in his heart.

The game between film producers and distributors and theaters has become the focus of the entire film and television industry.

In the final analysis, everyone has different positions and different interests.

At the insistence of their respective interests, the two sides engaged in more than 10 days of polemics and negotiations.

"The virtuous cycle of the film industry in the United States is because the proportion of investors can reach more than 60%, which is much higher than that of the Celestial Empire. In the end, more than 30% of the people who make movies in our long-term planned economy system, and the theaters without any risk take the vast majority of the box office revenue."

Zhang Weiping took the lead in launching the gun, and several major production and distribution companies had something to say.

The attitude of the theater chain over there is even tougher, "The theater business is not good, and the operating costs such as self-investment and renovation of the theater, plus rent and labor, have skyrocketed, and it is already difficult to survive, and the box office share ratio has to be modified, how can you survive?" ”

The wind and waves were very strong.

In the end, even the Film Bureau intervened.

After a few meetings, each finally took a step back.

The new picture of "Thirteen Hairpins", the minimum ticket price increase of 5 yuan was "conditionally" adopted, which has little impact on first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but for second- and third-tier cities, the ordinary ticket price will be increased, and the audience will pay for it.

In addition, the box office will be 500 million as a watershed.

As long as the box office of the film is within 500 million, the new picture and the theater will be divided according to the ratio of 45:55, and when the box office of the film exceeds 500 million, the new picture and the theater will be divided according to the ratio of 41:59.

However, in addition to the new picture, Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Entertainment also benefited.

In the future, the films produced and distributed by Jiangdong Entertainment will be calculated according to the box office share of the free floating market.

"Tong Bureau, thank you for this."

Zhou Yutang specially went to the office of the Children's Bureau, and his attitude was very respectful.

If it weren't for the nod from above, it would have been impossible to enjoy privileges.

"Everyone values harmony, and this is all beneficial."

Tong Ju patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder, but he looked kind: "I'll just say a few words behind closed doors, the current tone is the great development and prosperity of culture, which is the trend of the times."

You are now the bellwether of the film industry, and it is important to make the plate bigger and continue to strengthen the influence of Celestial Pictures. Nothing else, not a problem"

Just say a few words, and talk about it all afternoon.

On the way back, Zhou Yutang didn't go back to the company, and went straight to the office of Han Sanping of China Film.

Just when it was time to eat, Han Sanping beckoned enthusiastically: "Yu Tang, come here in such a hurry, haven't you eaten?" ”

"I didn't eat it."

"Let's have a simple meal in the cafeteria."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

The small canteen specially opened for the leader tastes really good, listening to Zhou Yutang's words about today's children's game, Han Sanping put down his chopsticks and said with a smile:

"It seems that your perception of your own influence is not clear enough."

"Zhang Dacang, this person, in the past, Zhang Yimou was in hand, and he came to talk about things in the entire film circle, but his pattern is just so big."

"Now, just borrow what he is doing to promote it, in the past few years, the achievements you have made are all in your eyes."

"This matter, for us, must be a good thing, what is valued above is the cultural output of the Celestial Empire"

"It seems that Zhang Weiping coerced the entire film production industry and reaped enough benefits for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", but in fact, Zhou Yutang picked peaches."

"Jiangdong Entertainment, it's really bullish, last year, a company accounted for one-seventh of the entire movie market."

"Zhou Yutang's milky little child, why does he enjoy privileges, it shouldn't be the son of a certain big guy, right?"

"With the box office of the movies he made, in recent years, the three major directors Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang are not as good as Zhou Yutang!"

"In the future, whether the Celestial Empire movies are chaotic or not, Zhou Yutang will have the final say."

For outsiders, this matter is just a bit of a bustle.

Ordinary audiences only care whether the movie is good or not, and it doesn't matter if you share the box office, it has nothing to do with yourself.

But the entire film and television industry has set off a monstrous tsunami because of this.

Zhang Weiping coerced the production company to attack the theater and failed, but won benefits for "Thirteen Hairpins".

However, the benefits he got were not as good as the privileges that Zhou Yutang had in his hands after all.

Whether it's a production company or a celebrity in the circle, it's clear what this privilege means.

A few years ago, Zhou Yutang had just stepped into this circle.

He can only act as a witness.

And now Zhou Yutang.

But there is no doubt that he has the qualifications to grasp the right to speak.

…………………………

Mr. Lu, the shareholder of Wanda Cinema Line, ended the dinner with Da Tiantian.

Zhou Yutang returned to Zeng Li's house.

Zeng Li was wearing a silk nightdress, and naturally squatted down to change Zhou Yutang's shoes.

Her hair is coiled, her hips are tight, and she has the temperament of a young woman.

"You're so pretty."

After changing his shoes, Zhou Yutang took the opportunity to hug the beauty in Tsing Yi into his arms, and his hands slid on the soft skin on the waist that was as condensed as fat snow.

The delicate curves brought an extremely warm and soft touch, which made him feel inexplicable.

Zeng Li gently patted his strange hand and asked, "How did you talk to Wanda?" ”

"Wanda has always cooperated, and there is no big problem."

A smile bloomed on Zhou Yutang's face, and his fingers pointed upward: "The above has spoken, and I am allowed to enjoy a small privilege." ”

Depending on where you stand, you will see the problem in a different way.

The confrontation between the producer and the theater chain is of course nothing in the overall situation.

As long as we can continue to make progress in stability, we will drive the transnational export of Celestial Empire culture.

Then there is no need to enjoy certain privileges.

Zeng Li threw a roll of his eyes: "The hot water is put for you, take a bath first, tonight, I want to be on it." ”

Zhou Yutang: "."
