Chapter 472: Arriving in Taiwan
On the 20th, the Cinema Alliance did not sign the account sharing notice as requested by the Avengers.
In the afternoon of the same day, China Film Digital announced that 70% of theaters had signed and agreed to the new account sharing ratio.
This is China Film Digital bypassing the theater chain and talking to the theaters one by one, the theater chain has the courage to fight with the distributor, the theaters don't dare, they are really worried about being cut off from supply.
The theater chain did not take this news to heart, and they were extremely resolute in making profits in these two points.
The Avengers were very accommodating about the theater's failure to sign as scheduled, and gave another day.
On the evening of the 21st, 61 representatives from 30 theaters gathered in Beijing to participate in the Chinese New Year film viewing seminar.
At this time, the cinema chain played an operation, and China Film Digital bypassed the cinema chain to talk to the theater alone, wanting to break the theater alliance; Zhao Jun, general manager of China Film Southern Shinkansen, sent a message to Qin Hong of Xingmei and Wang Zhonglei of Huayi, inviting the two to participate in the seminar.
Qin Hong's bones were hard and he didn't go.
Wang Zhonglei went.
From the moment Wang Zhonglei agreed to go to the meeting, the publisher's Avengers had already dispersed.
Wang Zhonglei patted the table with the theater representative at the scene: "Huayi invests 10 billion a year, and the annual profit is only 80 million. If I compete with you for 2%, there will be 10 million more, why don't I care? ”
Zhao Jun took last year's "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" as an example: "Last year, "The Thirteen Hairpins" asked to increase the proportion of the filmmaker's account sharing, which caused the collective disgust of the theater chain, lost the support of the film scheduling, and finally lost more box office than it strove. ”
Ye Ning, president of Wanda Cinema Line, said to the mud: "In addition to tangling these two points, is there a win-win way?" ”
Facing the representatives of several major cinema chains, Wang Zhonglei smiled bitterly, "You use this energy to fight imported films, which is more useful than me." ”
It seems that no substantive progress has been made in the negotiations on the 21st, but Wang Zhonglei's presence at the meeting at least indicates that everyone is willing to sit down and talk.
However, during the day of the 22nd, the Film Bureau finally came forward.
The Film Fund Office issued a document that will return different proportions of special film funds according to the box office share of domestic films in theaters throughout the year to ease the operating pressure of theaters.
However, for this new policy, many theater managers said that they were a bit "palliative, not curable", and worried that there might be box office theft.
The daily newspaper published an article, saying at the end of the article: "There are also many practitioners who believe that the account sharing ratio is just a 'small section', and in the case of Hollywood blockbusters at the top and the market share of domestic films shrinking, instead of 'staring at each other's account sharing ratio', it is better to think about how to win back the audience with better movies." ”
This remark looks fair, but in fact, all the dirty water was splashed on the producer, and the cinema alliance was very sensitive to the spirit above, Zhao Jun reposted this article on Weibo, saying that he wanted to learn the spirit of the article with everyone.
On the morning of the 24th, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei flew to Bay Island to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.
It's strange that Zhang Yuanjun saw Bernard's boss Yu Dong at the airport.
The cinema chain and the distribution are inseparable, he, one of the helmsmen of the alliance, does not stay in the capital to preside over the overall situation, where is this going?
Yu Dong said that he went to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.
understood, it should have been found that the theater line could not be handled, so he ran away from the center of the whirlpool in advance.
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and didn't say much.
How to divide the accounts between the theater chain and the distribution has no direct impact on how much he gets paid, and when the two sides slap the table and quarrel, the producer will say that now the actors' salaries are soaring, the production costs are rising, and the pressure to return to profit is huge.
At noon, the group arrived at the official hotel of the Golden Horse Awards.
After a simple meal, Liu Yifei said that she was going to take a nap, Zhang Yuanjun was going out to meet a few people, and asked Cindy to let Liu Yifei sleep for 1 hour at most: "Pull her up." ”
"What if she doesn't wake up?" Cindy asked.
"You just slapped her twice, and I approved it." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
Cindy turned to her boss and said, "You heard that?" ”
Liu Yifei said: "Will I lie in bed? Am I a bed-ridden person? ”
Zhang Yuanjun let out a long breath from his nose, obviously unconvinced, and left.
"Hey, what does he mean by that?" Liu Yifei asked Cindy.
Cindy also let out a long sigh: "I'll come back in an hour, I'll really hit you if you don't wake up." ”
Zhang Yuanjun was invited by Chai Zhiping, the godmother of Bay Island Entertainment, to meet her, in a suite in the same hotel.
Zhang Yuanjun politely called her Mr. Chai, Chai Zhiping introduced him to several Bay Island filmmakers, Zhang Yuanjun greeted them one by one, and finally introduced a young man: "This is Ke Zhendong, a rookie actor highly praised by our company." ”
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Ke Zhendong."
"Oh, hello, hello." Zhang Yuanjun responded.
"Look," after everyone sat down, Chai Zhiping said to Zhang Yuanjun, "Our young man is good, a young man of 91." ”
"Well, it's good, and he looks quite energetic."
"He starred in "Those Years", which was a big hit last year."
"Really? I haven't seen it yet. Zhang Yuanjun is very "faceless".
"It's okay, you're so busy, it's normal that you haven't seen it." Chai Zhiping said with a smile, "Although he is a newcomer, he has good talent, and I am very optimistic about his future development." ”
"With Mr. Chai's strong support, he will definitely be popular." Zhang Yuanjun guessed that Chai Zhiping wanted to push Ke Zhendong at him.
"I'm nothing, I want to find a good teacher for him for a year or two, after all, he is not an acting professional, his foundation is too thin, I am afraid that he will not go far." Chai Zhiping had been watching Zhang Yuanjun's reaction when he said this.
"It's right to find a teacher and study hard." Zhang Yuanjun probably knows what Chai Zhiping wants to do, "I know a lot of excellent acting teachers, and I can recommend them to you when I go back to the capital." ”
Chai Zhiping knew that Zhang Yuanjun wanted to mix up, so he simply said: "I want him to worship you as a master." ”
"Worship me?" Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "I don't like apprenticeship now, I want to learn to act, there are many training classes outside." ”
Chai Zhiping said: "Where do the teachers in the training class have your interests. ”
"I won't teach either." said that Zhang Yuanjun didn't want to bring newcomers, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't bring people like Ke Zhendong.
Zhang Yuanjun knew that Chai Zhiping's so-called apprenticeship was not to let Ke Zhendong learn acting skills from him, but to rub his resources.
Of course, there is a price to pay, another middle-aged man said: "The apprenticeship we prepared is very sincere......
Zhang Yuanjun really listened to him finish, Bay Island filmmakers have no money, but they have good resources in other aspects.
Wan Dao is very influential in the Asian fashion circle, and many Wan Dao people are international executives, Chai Zhiping promised to help Zhang Yuanjun get another 1-2 top luxury brand spokesperson qualifications.
In addition, there are also many Bay Island people in the top management of the three BAT, and Chai Zhiping knows them nine times out of ten, and she said that she will fight for resources for Zhang Yuanjun from these executive friends.
Chai Zhiping's conditions cannot but be said to be very favorable.
But it was not enough to impress Zhang Yuanjun, who is now the global spokesperson of LV, and his fashion resources are almost at the top.
BAT's publicity and public relations resources are indeed very attractive, but Weibo is his eldest brother's, Maoyan Pictures is a shareholder, and the rapidly rising iQiwei is the entrepreneurial project of Gong Yu, the former CEO of Weibo, and they are inextricably linked to each other.
He really didn't need much of the resources of the BAT three.
In addition, Chai Zhiping said with one mouth that he wanted Zhang Yuanjun to believe it?
Can you get resources by meeting executive friends? He also had dinner at the same table with the bosses of the three BAT companies, so what can he do?
At this time, the role of a smart assistant came into play, Xiao Zhao glanced at his mobile phone and said, "Yifei called you over." ”
Zhang Yuanjun stood up and said with a smile: "My wife called, I have to go." I'll think about what you say. ”
"Okay," Chai Zhiping said, "I'll wait to see you win the actor." ”
"Lend you good words. Stay, stay. ”
Looking at the back of Zhang Yuanjun leaving, Chai's executives said: "What is he unwilling to ask him to bring someone, isn't the resources we give good enough." ”
"I've heard for a long time that he doesn't like Bay Island, and it seems to be true." Chai Zhiping is still sensible, "Forget it, he doesn't want us to do it ourselves, it's just a little more effort." (End of chapter)
