Chapter 773 The reaction of domestic theaters (4200+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Lin'an Film Distribution Company!

A slightly dilapidated small building, but inside it is the headquarters of Lin'an Film Distribution Company, one of the largest ticket warehouses in China!

The original general manager, Chen Yingjie, had already resigned from his position as the general manager at the beginning of the year, and now a middle-aged man named Hu Yuejin was sitting in the position of the general manager!
Sitting opposite Hu Yuejin was Huang Zhenwu, the deputy general manager of Lin'an Film Distribution Company!

"Do you know when Wu Jianye's movie will be released?" Hu Yuejin asked uncertainly with a Yellow Crane Tower burning in his hand.

Huang Zhenwu preached: "September 08, 30:[-] in the evening!"

Hu Yuejin nodded, and said, "How is the Shanghai Film Studio I asked you to contact?"

Huang Zhenwu said with a smile: "We took the initiative to contact the Shanghai Film Studio. They are naturally willing. They have already agreed to let Zhang Jianya's "San Mao Congjun Ji" be screened in our theater!"

Hu Yuejin nodded in satisfaction again, and said, "This time, we must find a way to defeat Wu Jianye, otherwise the life of us distribution companies will be even more difficult!"

Huang Zhenwu nodded sympathetically.

Who will be hit the hardest by the establishment of the domestic Fengge theater chain?
Naturally, these original distribution companies, their own theaters are old and dilapidated, but the news they get is that the decoration of the style theaters is incomparably luxurious. Such a comparison naturally makes them full of anxiety.

The establishment of the domestic Fengge theater chain directly messed up the pattern of the domestic theater chain!

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

For those big towns with ticket warehouses, the establishment of Fengge Cinemas is not a good thing. Although the domestic movie market is very bad now, they can still sit back and relax as a town with big ticket warehouses. Although there are fewer people watching movies , but they still earn a lot.

As for those places where the box office is not good, there are some people who hope to join the ranks of Fengge Cinemas.

And this is just a small group of people. The overall environment is that there are not many domestic distribution companies that really want to join the Fengge Cinemas.

No matter how bad the benefits are, in this one-third of an acre of land, it is still up to you, and in addition, the upper and lower levels of domestic distribution companies are not so clear.

Almost every city and county operates independently, and even the provincial distribution companies do not have much power over the distribution companies at the city and county levels below.

When the West Film Studio came up with its own distribution theaters, it contacted the distribution theaters at the city and county levels, and did not get the consent of the provincial distribution company at all. In fact, when "New Dragon Inn" was released, Wu Jian Night also played such a routine.

He has the final say, which means that the company's financial and personnel powers are his own, and no one is willing to hand over the power in his hands to others.

But there are exceptions to everything, and there are still some people who have long-term considerations, such as Chen Yingjie, the former general manager of Lin'an Film Distribution Company!

When he cooperated with Tangting Culture to release "New Dragon Inn", Tangting Culture, Splendid Clothing, and his tripartite cooperation made him the general manager of Lin'an Film Distribution Company.

After Chen Yingjie took office, he also thought about drastic reforms, but the pressure he was under made it difficult for him to move forward. Even the leader who supported him before learned of his plan and reprimanded him. Chen Yingjie was a little disheartened.

Later, Fengge Cinemas was established in China, which gave Chen Yingjie hope. However, because Lin'an is a box office center in China, Radio, Television and China Film did not want Lin'an Film Distribution Company to be directly acquired by Fengge Cinemas, so they negotiated with Fengge Cinemas. At that time, Lin'an was picked out, which once again made Chen Yingjie disappointed in his hopes.

Since it was impossible to acquire Lin'an Film Distribution Company, Fengge Cinema had no choice but to build its own theater in Lin'an. When Huang Jianxin came to Lin'an for inspection, he thought of Chen Yingjie, so he specifically found Chen Yingjie, and the two had an in-depth discussion.

On the second day, Chen Yingjie resigned from his position as the general manager of Lin'an Film Distribution Company.

Instead, he became the general manager of Lin'an Company of Fengge Cinema Line!
That's why Hu Yuejin has now become the general manager.

The release of "The World of Chu Xing" also became the first contest between Fengge Cinemas and domestic distribution companies. Now, for domestic film distribution companies, Fengge Cinemas belongs to the Raptors Crossing the River, while domestic distribution companies What the company has to do is actually shoot the raptor Fengge Cinema Line to death on the beach!

As for Wu Jianye's consideration of letting Fengge theaters drive the domestic movie-watching boom, it is pure nonsense for most of the existing distribution companies, and they would not think so much.

Now there are so many moviegoers in China, if you go to the Fengge Cinemas to watch movies, then there will be fewer people coming to watch movies here.

The number of people is fixed, but there are more people sharing the cake. This is what most domestic distribution companies are seeing now.

This is why Hu Yuejin wanted to contact Shanghai Film Studio about the matter.

Among the works of domestic film directors this year, Zhang Jianya's "San Mao Congjun Ji" is the only one who can compete with Wu Jianye!

So Hu Yuejin immediately asked his deputy Huang Zhenwu to contact the Shanghai Film Studio. The Shanghai Film Studio was naturally happy to hear that the Lin'an Film Distribution Company had taken the initiative to find them, and immediately agreed to the request of the Lin'an Film Distribution Company.

After Zhang Jianya found out about this, he deliberately went to the leader of Shanghai Film Studio. After all, he had already negotiated with Wu Jianye, and he would contact Fengge Cinemas to have "San Mao Congjun Ji" screened in Fengge Cinemas.

"Old Zhang, it would be great if "San Mao Congjun Ji" can be screened in Fengge theaters, but you also know that in the near future, Fengge theaters will definitely release Wu Jianye's "Chu Xing" "The World", your film must be postponed. Now you know the company's finances. The film's release in advance means that we can get the box office share in advance. This is a top priority for our company! "

With the announcement of the (3) document, the income of the film has now changed from the copy sales of the previous two years to the film share. This is definitely a timely rain for the film studio. The same is true of Shanghai Film Studio, which has a lot of interest.

Now Xie Jin, the treasure of Shanghai Film Studio, has established his own film company. Naturally, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to make films for Shanghai Film Studio in the future, and Zhang Jianya has also become a director highly praised by Shanghai Film Studio. Works, of course, are also very valued by Shanghai Film Studio.

At this time, there is no such thing as a film schedule in China. Basically, the film is released immediately after the filming and post-production are completed.

No matter how powerful Zhang Jianya is, he is only a director. Even as a director, he has not reached the status of Xie Jin, so he does not have much say in the movie's release.

For this matter, Zhang Jianya specially called Wu Jianye to express his apology.

"Haha, what's the matter, didn't you always want to confront me head-on, now it's all right, an absolute confrontation!" Wu Jianye also laughed after receiving Zhang Jianya's call.

At the same time, Wu Jianye also got news from Zhang Jianya that in order to fight against the establishment of Fengge Cinemas, the film distribution companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai will jointly form a new film distribution company to form a unified theater chain.

Just like the martial arts alliance in martial arts novels!
In fact, Wu Jianye had already received the news from Huang Jianxin about this matter.

"It doesn't matter, Lao Zhang, when we read martial arts novels, although the martial arts conference was exciting, it was because every time a martial arts conference was held, it was a wrestling field of various factions in the rivers and lakes. Movies from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions The publishing company has formed an alliance, so who will be the leader of the martial arts?" Wu Jianye didn't take this news seriously.

As Wu Jianye said, Hu Yuejin and others are actually facing this problem now.

The Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions were originally the most important ticket warehouses in the country. Now that these companies have combined to form a new distribution theater, it is so easy to elect a boss.

Everyone wanted to be the boss, but the others were also dissatisfied, and finally came up with a compromise solution, which was to use the box office proceeds of newly released movies as the share distribution for their new theater company.

And this lucky movie is actually "San Mao's Congregation" by Shanghai Film Factory, which is one of the reasons why Shanghai Film Factory agreed to let them release this movie.

No matter how they compete underneath, Shanghai Film Studio is definitely the one that benefits.

"Mr. Hu, are we going to do something about releasing "San Mao Congjun Ji" this time? After all, we not only have to compete with Tangting Culture's "The World of Chu Xing", but also compete with other distribution companies!"

Huang Zhenwu made a suggestion.

Hu Yuejin smiled at this time, "You can rest assured about this. Although our Lin'an side is not as good as Shanghai, it still has a great advantage compared with other places. "San Mao Congjunji" I have already watched the pornographic movie, it is a very good movie, and it should attract a lot of viewers."

The crude films that Hu Yuejin mentioned are naturally not the kind of crude films on the Internet in later generations, but movies that have just been edited without technical support such as soundtracks.

As for the measures, in Hu Yuejin's view, there is no need for it. It has been many years since movies were shown in cinemas, and audiences bought tickets to watch movies. Isn't it always like this?
At this time, Hu Yuejin is still thinking about the present with the same thinking as ten years ago.

"Besides, I also found out through my relationship that the movie tickets of Fengge Cinemas are more expensive than the movie tickets of our theaters. People nowadays don't want to watch movies, so who would be stupid enough to buy expensive movie tickets? !" Although Hu Yuejin was worried that Fengge Cinemas would have an impact on the existing distribution network.

But after knowing the series of operations of Fengge Cinemas, he still has a lot of confidence.

And the confidence here comes from Lin'an's previous film market. Regardless of whether the domestic film market is good or bad, Lin'an has always been a major box office in China. This is Hu Yuejin's confidence.

At the same time, there is the current domestic situation. Although domestic prices have been soaring in the past two years, the wages of ordinary people have not changed much.

To put it simply, the money in the hands of ordinary people is worthless, and now [-] cents is still money. No matter how good a movie is, it is impossible for them to spend a few more dollars to see another movie.

Huang Zhenwu laughed from the side and said: "It's true, you talk about Wu Jianye, he is really good at making movies in Hollywood, he has to come back, he really thinks he is the savior, even if he is the best in the country What about film directors?"

"The common people are always concerned about their own food basket. If a movie ticket costs several dollars, who would go to see it?"

Hu Yuejin nodded. To be honest, people are like this. If they fall into their own comforting routines, even if they were a little worried before, many people will think that what they think is wrong under the condition of self-suggestion. That's right.

This is like some friends in later generations, who obviously don’t even have a three-digit savings in their pockets, but they just think that 10,000+ yuan is not money, and it is very easy to earn for a reason.

"But we still can't underestimate this matter. As you said, Wu Jianye, as the most powerful director in China, must have a group of loyal audiences. The box office provided by these audiences is also very impressive!"

Naturally, Huang Zhenwu would not refute Hu Yuejin's words, and said, "It's still the manager who looks far enough!"

The smug expression on Hu Yuejin's face became more and more intense, and he said with a smile: "Actually, in my opinion, Wu Jianye's director's works do not have the greatest impact on us, but the follow-up operations of Style Cinema."

Huang Zhenwu looked at Hu Yuejin curiously, and asked in a timely manner: "What operation!"

"Fengge Cinemas, as the theater company of Xiangjiang, will definitely release Xiangjiang movies in the later stage. This is what we should pay most attention to!" Hu Yuejin said.

Huang Zhenwu nodded again and again, he agrees with this point. With the introduction of the (3) document, some cinemas have released Xiangjiang movies, and they have achieved higher box office than domestic movies. Hu Yuejin and Huang Zhenwu are released as Lin'an movies The boss and the second child of the company naturally knew about this.

"Mr. Hu, should we also contact one or two film companies in Xiangjiang? I mean, just in case, Zhang Jianya's movie "San Mao Congjun Ji" is not the opponent of Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing", We also have second-hand preparations, don't we!" Huang Zhenwu suggested.

Hu Yuejin smiled and said: "Yes, your proposal is very good. In fact, I also have the same idea. Now that you have the same idea, then I will leave this matter to you!"

Huang Zhenwu said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Hu, if you want to contact Xiangjiang's film company, then we have to send someone to Xiangjiang for the funds for this activity!"

Hu Yuejin glanced at Huang Zhenwu and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the company won't treat you badly!"

Only then did Huang Zhenwu smile and thank him again and again.

He has long wanted to go to the world of flowers in Xiangjiang to see it!
"With these two moves this time, it will be much more difficult for Fengge Cinema to use Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing" to open the door to domestic theaters!" Huang Zhenwu laughed.

"It's time to go back to Hollywood and make movies. The domestic film market is not something that he can mess around with if he wants!" Hu Yuejin also felt that he was going to win at this time!

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Huang, something has happened. This is the announcement just copied at the entrance of Fengge Cinema in Lin'an!" At this moment, someone suddenly broke in, holding a white paper full of words in his hand.

Hu Yuejin vaguely saw the words on it: Movie lottery!
