China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 840 Married Women [Two in One]

Sun Yi came out of the tea art club and saw off Han Sanping who was leaving alone.

Standing in front of the car and thinking about the conversation between the two just now, my brows unconsciously frowned and I felt a headache.

It turned out to be bad news, otherwise Mr. Han, who is such a busy man, would not have personally invited him to have tea.

The old man still refuses to give up and wants to share the box office revenue again.

Han Sanping had done this last year. With China Film as the main body, he led several major film and television companies including Star Sky to negotiate with major theater chains, hoping to increase the production share of domestic films from 43% at the time to 45%.

There was a lot of buzz at the time. Old Han was full of confidence. He brought his powerful team and made a request for four points right at the start.

I thought the theater chain would give in, even if it finally agreed to half, which is 2 points, it would be enough to meet Lao Han's bottom line.

But who knew that the cinema chain would be so tough and would not give up even half a percentage point, let alone 4 percentage points.

Even if several film and television companies threatened to stop supplying films, theaters were not afraid at all.

"If you don't supply us, we won't do it. Movie fans love to watch imported blockbusters. Without you, we can make more money."

This may be a rough statement, but it is true. Based on last year's situation, it was indeed the case.

In the entire domestic film industry, except for the projects produced by Star Sky, none of them can be said to be a guaranteed profit.

Several major producers were left speechless.

But Han Sanping is a man who could not tolerate such threats, so he immediately ordered some of his films to be rescheduled or delayed.

The two sides started to argue, but as the Lunar New Year holiday season approached, several production companies finally weakened. During the second round of negotiations, the required price had been reduced from 4 points to a more realistic 2 points.

But the theaters still don't buy it.

They really have nothing to fear and don't believe that China Film Group, as the representative of the "national team", dares to take the lead in doing this.

It's fine if some of your subordinates charge forward and add fuel to the flames, but if they take the lead, then the nature of the situation changes. The relevant departments are not pushovers.

What's more, Old Han did not expect that his group's Star Cinema Chain would also find various ways to refuse to cooperate. Although they did not say they disagreed, their bodies were very honest.

Sun Yi did not participate too much at that time. He stood in the team, but he was just a flag-waving and cheering role.

Although Starry Sky surpassed Huayi last year to become the most profitable private film and television company in China, it still lacks in terms of foundation.

Ultimately, this profit-sharing proposal came to nothing as China Film Group was unable to support it alone.

The cinema chain was very considerate and came up with a phased profit-sharing plan, which means that after a certain number of days of release, the profit-sharing ratio will be increased accordingly.

But even a fool knows that most domestic films can only reap box office revenue in the first and second weeks after their release. To be honest, they rely on the influence of certain directors and stars to reap as much as they can.

An international director: I feel like someone is slandering me!

Therefore, the cinema chain's proposal to increase the profit sharing ratio after the film has been released for a certain number of days depending on the situation is purely a trick to fool people, and can also be said to be a fig leaf for President Han.

After all, if we go into this rush and mobilize so many troops but don't produce anything, it will be embarrassing.

In fact, throughout this year, except for companies like Star Sky whose films have a good reputation, there has been basically no change in other film companies.

Sun Yi himself doesn't think too highly of these small things. After all, the cinema chain has the final say on these things.

Show for a certain number of days? Increase by a certain percentage?
How many days? What's the ratio?
Just like when the amount involved in the case is huge, it will be dealt with strictly and severely.

How severe? How severe?

There is no accurate number.

So, the profit-sharing negotiations conducted by Mr. Han last year were a farce.

Unexpectedly, the old man would come again this year.

It seems that he is ready to make one last desperate effort before retiring to completely solve this "cancer" that affects the sustainable development of the film industry.

Sun Yi sighed a little.

This matter has something to do with him, but it also has nothing to do with him.

Behind closed doors, Starry Sky doesn't lack this, and with him around, Starry Sky's development will definitely not be a problem for at least the next 10 years.

As for 10 years later, he would have already traveled around the world with his little girl, so why would he need to run a company?

All the assets under his name now added together are more than enough for him and Liu Yifei to do as much as they want, so why bother with all that?

But when it comes to the domestic film market and industry development, we have to say that Mr. Han’s suggestions are the “best solution.”

And from what Director Han said just now, it seems that the old man is ready to "burn his boats" this time. If I agree, I will definitely not be the role who stood behind and cheered like last year. I must stand in front of the stage, or even hold up a big banner and lead the charge.

But each of those cinema chains has a big group or company behind it, and it can be said that none of them are easy to deal with.

As the saying goes: The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. If Sun Yi takes up this banner, he will be hit the hardest.

There is no need to be afraid of the old man’s China Film Group, after all, it is the “national team”. Even if it is eliminated, no one dares to say anything and no one will settle accounts with it.

But his starry sky is not necessarily the same.

Although Star Sky is the "leader" in the film industry, it is not comparable to those large groups in the Internet and real estate industries.

Of course, there are benefits.

If he remembered correctly, the profit-sharing agreement in his previous life was successful, although it was several years later.

It can be seen that the upper authorities have seen that the current profit-sharing system is a major driving force restricting the development of the film industry, and they are determined to deal with it. However, the resistance is too great. After years of negotiations and compromises, all parties signed the agreement.

If Sun Yi could step forward and accomplish this task a few years earlier, it would not be an exaggeration to say that "Jian is in the emperor's heart."

If a private company can have this awareness and ability, the benefits it will gain will be too great.

Not to mention that all parties have given the green light to Starry Sky and it is unimpeded, it can also greatly increase Starry Sky's voice.

It can be said that this matter is a crisis and an opportunity. It depends on how Sun Yi chooses.

Sun Yi took out a cigarette from the car, lit it lightly, and kept analyzing the pros and cons in his mind.

The new assistant Song Youyou saw that her boss looked deep in thought and did not dare to disturb him. She could only stand aside and accompany him obediently.

Her boss seldom smokes. Since she started working as his assistant in the past two months, she could count the number of times she saw Sun Yi smoking on one hand.

I don’t know what Chairman Han Sanping just talked about with his boss that made the boss look so worried.

A musical ringtone rang out of the handbag, interrupting Song Youyou's thoughts, and she immediately took out her cell phone as a conditioned reflex.

"Boss, your phone number."

"Oh."

Sun Yi took another puff, then put out the cigarette, took the phone and saw that it was the Queen Mother.

"Hey, Mom."

"Oh, I was just busy with some things at the company."

"I'm not with Xixi. Today is her last day of rehearsal. She should be busy now. I didn't see the message."

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go right away. Don't worry, I'll definitely connect you to your daughter-in-law."

"I feel like I'm the superfluous one now. Okay, okay, I get it."

Sun Yi hung up the phone and sighed helplessly, while Youyou beside him tried hard to hold back her laughter.

These days, although she has not officially been Sun Yi's assistant for a long time, it is not difficult to discover from some small details in life.

It seems that his boss's family status is not very high. Sun Yi's thoughts were interrupted by a phone call from his mother, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, there are still more than two months before the Lunar New Year holiday, so there is still enough time anyway.

"Youyou, call Zhang Xin and ask your sister Fei how the rehearsal is going. We'll go pick her up."

"Okay, boss."

Beijing, Wukesong Stadium.

As one of the main venues for the 08 Olympic Games, Wukesong Sports Center is located next to Wukesong Bridge along Chang'an Avenue. It has a construction area of ​​6.3 square meters and can accommodate 18000 people.

After the 2008 Summer Olympics, it became a landmark venue for cultural and sports events.

It has 47 luxury boxes, 10 sales points and two restaurants. It was the venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympic basketball competition and the first Olympic venue to be named.

After the Olympics, many large-scale events were successfully held here, including the NBA China Games, Beyonce's "I Am The One" Beijing Concert, Amway China Annual Meeting, A-Mo Li Yuchun's Beijing Concert, SUPER JUNIOR's second Asian tour concert, "THIS IS US" Backstreet Boys World Tour Beijing Concert, Queen and Princess Concert, CBA All-Star Weekend and CBA Finals.

This time, the first stop of Liu Yifei’s personal national tour concert - Beijing, will be held here.

The initial choice of this place was after Liu Yifei's concert team made several deliberate choices.

After all, this was her first solo concert and no one knew how her fans would accept it.

Even Sun Yi had no experience from his previous life to draw on in this regard.

Although Liu Yifei also debuted as a singer at that time, she did not have any famous works worth praising, and her singing skills were not as refined as they are today, so there is really no comparison.

A large venue that can accommodate more than 5 people is afraid that it will not be able to sell so many tickets, which will not only result in a loss of money but also embarrassment.

However, the small venue with an audience of less than 10,000 people is a bit shabby and really does not match Liu Yifei's status.

To be on the safe side, the team planned to hold the concert in a medium-sized venue. Wukesong Sports Center is the most modern and comprehensive medium-sized venue in Beijing, with convenient transportation. Therefore, the team finally decided to hold the concert here.

Today is the last rehearsal before the concert.

Although it was still broad daylight, all the lights in the venue were on. Liu Yifei was standing on a lift platform doing a sound check, wearing a white training suit with the cardigan tucked in at her waist and only a sports vest on her upper body.

The voice of music director Wang Jingtian came from the earphones:

"Yifei, this is the last song, is your voice okay?"

Assistant Zhang Xin trotted over to bring a cup of special honey water with monk fruit. Liu Yifei drank half a cup in small sips. After calming down, she tapped her fingertips on the wireless microphone twice, "No problem, come on."

The prelude of the music sounded, and Liu Yifei hummed along with the rhythm without much effort.

After all, it's just a rehearsal. Tomorrow is the official concert. The main purpose is to find the feeling and state. It's impossible to sing with all my strength. My throat simply can't take it.

"Love is like a blank space in the blue sky with you to accompany my imagination."

“I painted you into a flower, a flower that has not yet bloomed, and then painted my thoughts bit by bit into falling rain~~~”

"Wow, sounds good, Liu---Queen---"

Liu Yifei had just finished singing the chorus when, during the interlude of the song, she heard a teasing scream from the audience.

She squinted her eyes, pursed her lips, and looked helpless.

My best friend~~!!
Shu Chang, wearing a denim jacket, was sitting in the VIP area in the front row with her legs crossed, holding a highlighter in her hand. Even though she was the only one in the audience, she was working hard to create the atmosphere.

"Ah, Sissi, I love you, marry me~~~"

Liu Yifei almost burst out laughing, but she managed to finish singing the chorus for the second time before calling a halt: "Shu Xiaochang! Why don't you take a break on the weekend and come here to cause trouble?"

"Come to check on him."

Shu Chang put down the glow stick with a smile. She was not a person without tact. She came as soon as Liu Yifei's rehearsal started today and accompanied her throughout the whole process. She knew that this was the last song of the first half, so she made funny noises. It was mainly to cooperate with her best friend and let her feel like a queen.

"I, what position do I need you to check?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Seeing that Liu Yifei had stopped rehearsing and was preparing for an intermission, Shu Chang quickly jumped onto the stage, took the towel from Zhang Xin's hand, and diligently helped Liu Yifei wipe the sweat off her neck.

"I heard that someone got the marriage certificate three days ago, but he didn't post anything on WeChat Moments, didn't distribute wedding candies, and didn't make any moves on Weibo. What's going on?''
Liu Yifei's ears turned red instantly, and she pretended to adjust her earphones: "Who told you that?"

"Liu Qianqian, you're still trying to trick me. You don't want to admit it, right? Look, look, it's even bigger. How dare you say it's not someone's fault?"

"Shu Xiaochang, you damn girl, are you crazy?"

Liu Yifei covered her earphones with one hand and snatched the towel from Shu Chang's hand with the other.

It all rubbed into her vest.

"Tell me quickly, do you admit it or not." Shu Chang took out a mobile phone from behind, and on the screen was the blurry photo of Liu Yifei and Sun Yi taken in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau a few days ago - Liu Yifei, wearing a fisherman's hat, was holding Sun Yi's arm tightly.

"Look at you like this, I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes!"

"How can you talk like that??!!"

In the backstage rest area, Liu Yifei changed into new clothes and gave her best friend a cold look.

"I admit it. I am a married woman now. Are you satisfied?"

"Hey, just admit it. You dare to play secret with me?" Shu Chang came over with a look of good humor and asked curiously, "Tell me, how do you feel after getting the certificate?"

Liu Yifei looked at her gossiping best friend, and her heart was moved. She put on a sweet look and said happily, "It's so good to be married. There is someone who thinks about me every day, someone who cheers me up when I'm sad, someone who shares my happiness with me when I'm happy, someone who hugs me when I sleep, and someone who kisses me good morning when I wake up!"

Shu Chang looked curious at first, but as he listened, his face slowly turned green and he gritted his teeth.

"Liu--Xi--Xi, I'm going to fight you!"

"Ah, female hooligan!!"

The two of them chased and played in the lounge, as if they were back in the days of "The Story of a Noble Family".

Ten years have passed since I last saw it.

Sitting down again, the two of them sorted out their clothes. Liu Yifei took out her cell phone from her handbag, glanced at it briefly, and then her face changed slightly. She said to Shu Chang apologetically:
"Changchang, I'm sorry, I can't have dinner with you for a while."

"What's going on? Didn't we agree on this? Is it that Sun Yi, the light bulb, is here?"

"Who is the light bulb? You are the one."

Liu Yifei chuckled and pinched her best friend.

Shu Chang acted in great pain and pretended to wipe away tears.

"It's over, Liu Qianqian, you've changed now. Remember before, you always called me Little Sweetie, but now you call me Madam Niu."

"Hey~ You're so disgusting, when did I ever call you Sweetie!"

Seeing her best friend acting in front of her, Liu Yifei felt a chill. Although she often liked to do this, it depended on who she was acting with, right!
"Okay, okay, it was mom who asked me to go home for dinner."

"Oh, Aunt Liu, by the way, I haven't tasted Aunt Liu's cooking for a long time." Shu Chang sighed softly with a nostalgic look on his face.

Hearing this, Liu Yifei blushed and looked at Shu Chang embarrassedly, who looked suspicious.

"what happened to you?"

Liu Yifei bit her lips tightly, as if she was afraid of upsetting her best friend, and said hesitantly:

"Well, you misunderstood. It's not my mom. It's another mom!"

"you!!!"
