Open the era of black technology

Chapter 891 Gambling Agreement

On this day, Tianqi Group and Country E issued an announcement at the same time.

After paying a price of 130 billion euros, Apocalypse Group is responsible for transforming the gravity system of the interstellar spacecraft ordered by country E.

This announcement did not mention the authorization of gravity technology. Obviously, country E did not purchase the gravity technology of Apocalypse Group, but only modified the interstellar spacecraft.

To the outside world, people from the relevant departments of country E explained that country E does not need to purchase gravity technology from any organization if it wants to independently develop gravity technology with its own intellectual property rights.

Moreover, Country E is confident of making a breakthrough in the next five years.

The spokesperson's explanation is very beautiful, but anyone who cares understands that country E can't afford extra money to buy gravity technology for the time being.

Although the international situation has returned to balance in recent years, and country E's economic development is very good, country E has invested too much in the military field and military technology.

Not many domestic economic structures have changed.

One more thing, the strongman has been in power in country E for decades, and the following bunch of people who want to be in power have reached the point where they have to consider their successors.

Now the focus is on stability, and the future will be determined by the new leader.

Time passed slowly for more than a month, everything was calm, the international public opinion fully returned to normal, and news of celebrities began to be reported.

At this moment, Callon, the general manager of Apocalypse Films, announced that after several years, the film "Rise of the Human Race" has passed the approval of many countries and will be released in major theaters around the world in June this year.

[The Rise of the Human Race] This film can be called the most invested commercial film in the history of human film. The investment in special effects alone is as high as 14 billion U.S. dollars. It is definitely an epoch-making visual feast.

At three hours, the film is definitely the longest film in history.

Although the film time is relatively long, it is not boring at all, and it will definitely make you unable to leave your seat.

Callon also announced at the same time that all consumers must pass through the electronic security gate when the film is released, and it is forbidden to bring any electronic devices.

Apocalypse Film and Television has signed contracts with more than 47 security companies in 60 countries, and these security companies will conduct inspections at the entrance of each movie.

At the same time, the film also uses the latest reflective shadow technology, and all pirated copies shot through the lens will have overlapping images.

Please respect intellectual property rights and support genuine films.

At the same time, the latest promotional video is released.

24 heroes gather to fight against the Apocalypse Group, which represents human beings. Various special effects are flying all over the sky, so that you can't even see the special effects, and they are perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment.

You can't take your eyes off it. Anyone who has seen the promotional video has a strong desire to watch it. It is a pity that they still have to wait for more than two months.

All the media around the world have begun to report on the film [Rise of the Terran], and have expressed their views on this film.

Ordinary people read newspapers, and the headlines on the front page are all reports of "The Rise of the Human Race".

Click on the Internet, and it is also news about [Rise of the Human Race].

Apocalypse Films didn't spend a penny, forcing the global media to start reporting the movie Rise of the Terran. This phenomenon made many film companies envy and hate.

Seeing this situation, Callon immediately adjusted his advertising strategy, focused on increasing the investment in billboards, and began to place billboards in subway stations, bus stations, train stations, and airports around the world.

In Tianchao, many theater chain groups have the idea of ​​not making money to gain popularity, because it is very simple, the film and television ticketing system of Tianqi Group has been enforced by relevant departments.

Your ticketing system is linked to the number of movie viewers in the theater, and it can only be less or more.

for example.

The ticketing system sells 50 tickets, and the number of people watching the movie cannot exceed [-]. There is a scanning device in the movie theater to scan the number of people throughout the process.

Once there are more than 50 people, it means that you have cheated at the black box office, and relevant departments can impose fines.

The system was developed by Apocalypse Group, and Apocalypse Film and Television is a subsidiary of Apocalypse Group. Once you black out the box office, Apocalypse Group will definitely not let it go.

No one knows if there is a back door to the film and television ticketing system, but they all know that Xu Ping'an is ruthless. Once Xu Ping'an catches you, it's definitely not fun if he doesn't kill you.

Under normal circumstances, movie theaters and theater chains can withdraw 57% of the box office, but this time, it is only 20.00%.

This is the energy of the blockbuster, or in other words, this is the energy of the Tianqi Group.

I won’t show it in your theater if you don’t agree. There are so many theater systems in the country, it doesn’t matter if you are missing.

Under the operation of the relevant personnel, more than [-]% of the profits obtained belonged to the producer.

This is only the Celestial Dynasty. Movie theaters and theater chains in other countries around the world have also given concessions, but the amount varies.

More than a month passed slowly, and the Tianchao Cinema System announced the ticket price. The ticket price for the ordinary movie theater is 120 yuan, and the ticket price for the luxury movie theater is 260 yuan.

This ticket price is only the movie ticket price in third- and fourth-tier cities. The price in second-tier cities is 20.00% higher than that in first-tier cities, and the ticket price in first-tier cities is 20.00% higher than that in second-tier cities.

It can be said that this is the most expensive movie ticket price in the history of Chinese movies.

As soon as the ticket price came out, many people began to cry, most of them were young people, and they were men.

Because the female ticket was promised to go to the cinema to watch the film, such a high ticket price made many people reluctant.

The ticket price of this movie was set by Xu Pingan. It can be said that as soon as the plan was introduced, the people in the promotion department of Tianqi Film and Television Division began to have a headache, and many people lost confidence.

This was the price set by Xu Pingan himself, and they couldn't resist with their heads, let alone the office staff, so they could only force themselves to hypnotize and promote it.

To be honest, the theater chain didn't want to set such a high ticket price. After arguing back and forth between the two parties, they came to a gambling agreement.

The pre-sale of movie tickets will start ten days later. The deadline is three days before the movie is officially released. If the total box office of the movie exceeds 20 billion Chinese coins, the theater will give up 5.00% of the share.

If the pre-sale box office does not reach 20 billion, the producer will give 5.00% of the profits to the theaters.

Normal promotions are allowed, but ticket swiping is definitely not allowed. Relevant government departments will be invited as a third-party agency to supervise.

The 22 small theaters of the nine major theaters of Tianchao signed this gambling agreement with Tianqi Film and Television. They never thought that at the moment the agreement was signed, they were tricked by Xu Pingan.

630 nine companies signed a promotion agreement with the promotion department of Tianqi Film and Television Company. In order to capitalize on the popularity of the movie "Rise of the Human Race", these companies bought discounted movie tickets from the promotion department.

A movie ticket can be discounted at two yuan, three yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, 15 yuan, 20 yuan, 30 yuan, and 50 yuan.

These companies will launch promotions, give discounts to their own products, and give away coupons for the movie "Rise of the Terran".

The amount of discounts varies from as small as chopsticks and teacups to as large as real estate for air conditioners and household appliances.

Each IP can superimpose the use of coupons when buying movie tickets. So many companies start issuing coupons together, which will definitely cause a wave of consumption frenzy.

Relevant departments knew about this matter and strongly supported it. This is a huge benefit to the domestic economy. In order to achieve better results, they cooperated with the secrecy.

After the signing of the agreement, the direction of China's media changed, and many so-called experts jumped out to criticize Xu Ping'an's movie ticket prices.

Calling on people to boycott the film "The Rise of the Human Race", behind these people, the figures of the nine theaters are indispensable.

The nine major theaters don’t give in vain. It can be predicted that the film [Rise of the Human Race] will be a 100% hit, and an extra 5.00% will be a huge profit.

They have started to show their skills one after another, and they must not let the pre-sale box office break through the one billion mark.

A low box office is also a loss for the theaters, but the theaters are not afraid. If they lose money in one month, they will show it directly for two months. By then, no matter how much loss they have, they will come back.

Besides, if you throw a few bones and find some experts and professors to promote it on the Internet, you can still fool people into going to the cinema to watch a movie, as long as you miss the time to bet on it.

The two sides began to compete for the market by various methods.
Every day, the news about the rise of the Terran is overwhelming. The media has been mobilized, and there is no money and crazy publicity, all for traffic.

Xu Ping'an's attention was no longer on this, but the frequent loud video conferences with James and others, and the discussion was all about the Mars base.

At present, the number of people working on Mars has reached 8, and a new batch of housing has been completed, enough to accommodate 10 people.

It's time to launch a new round of investment promotion activities.

10 people are easy to solve, but the jobs of 10 people are not so easy to solve. This requires factories, businesses, and a complete economic internal cycle.

"How is the establishment of the business district going?" Xu Ping'an asked.

"Boss, the commercial area is expected to be completed in three months, and we expect to open [-] shops"

"Currently, we only have 8 people on Mars. There are too many shops, and it is difficult to guarantee profits."

"I have already communicated with Ms. Ji Xueyi, President of Apocalypse Investment Bank, our Apocalypse Bank, China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China"

"Seventeen large international banks from the United States and Europe will settle in the business district of the Mars base and implement special financial policies. With these banks settled, many people will come to Mars to develop," James said directly.

"Finance is one aspect, and industry is another aspect. At this stage, we can only give priority to the financial industry."

"This plan will be announced after a while, and the interstellar spacecraft will return to Earth soon. This time, we will increase the number of people carrying people, and first quickly increase the population to 10 people."

"The consumption of 10 young people is enough to attract some businesses"

"When we announce the sale of settlements and the settlement of banks, and the related business is normal, it will attract more businessmen to go to Mars."

"Make a plan, don't make the plan out of line," Xu Ping'an said with a serious expression.

"I see"

"Boss, should we launch Mars currency now?" James asked.

"No, now is not the time, Mars currency is what I use to trade with Europe, now is not the time, I will tell Ji Xueyi to be ready"

"Next year, consider launching the Mars currency"

"You know very well that next year will be a critical point for the accumulation of various contradictions, a crossroads"

"The United States is not good at watching us develop the Mars base so quickly, and the United States has interstellar warships, and it will not endure it."

"I predict that if there is no outbreak in the second half of next year, it will completely erupt at the beginning of the next year"

"Before that, we must have enough population on Mars, and we must have enough strength in our hands. This is the top priority right now," Xu Ping'an said rationally.

"I understand, I will arrange it. I have arranged for people to continue to add a new flying saucer production line on Cory Denver Island. Now what we need is time"

"After all the dust settles, we can transfer some production lines to Mars to consolidate our foundation," James said seriously.
