Chapter 408 Divergence of interest

The profits of movie theaters depend mostly on the tickets sold.

For the film producers, they can get more platoon rate from the cinema, which means they can get more box office.

But for movie theaters, they are more optimistic about the attendance rate of a movie than the rate of filming.


If the attendance rate of a movie does not reach more than 15%, then the movie played in the cinema will inevitably face a loss.”

Zhang Yimou’s attendance rate can only reach 10%. Wouldn’t it be necessary to make these movie theater bosses hurry?

After the agent heard Shen Zhe’s words, a tacit smile appeared on his face.

“I guess they must have a hard time now!”

Facts have indeed proved that Shen Zhe’s guess is that several owners in the movie theater have surrounded Zhang Yimou’s office one after another.

President Liu looked at Zhang Yimou, who had been silent since the appearance of a few of them, and his face couldn’t help showing a bit of disgust.

If it weren’t for the previous 26 guy who took the contract to persecute them, they would never have given Zhang Yimou such a high rate of filming.

Now Zhang Yimou’s own movie reputation is not strong, and the attendance rate of each movie is far less than the cost of their theater.

Even because of the quality of the movie, even the directors of the theaters with them have been scolded as eyeless guys.

Zhang Yimou should also give them a reasonable explanation.

But since a few of his own appeared, Zhang Yimou has been sitting on the sofa slumped, a look like you can do anything to me, this has also raised Mr. Liu’s anger to the extreme.

“Director Zhang, you can’t justify this!”

“Anyway, now the Internet is full of scolding, this matter is completely out of your responsibility, don’t you think you should come up with a reasonable solution?” Mr. Liu asked Zhang Yimou.

When the other personnel saw that Mr. Liu had already spoken, they all jumped out one after another.

“That’s right! Shen Zhe has a 5% lineup rate, the movie theaters are full, and even high-priced tickets have appeared! Only 10% of the attendance rate of your movie can be obtained, you know we have to bear it. What a loss, do you know how much notorie we bear now?”

“If you can’t come up with a reasonable solution, what use is it for you to pretend to be dead here? Could it be that pretending to be dead can increase your movie box office?”

“I’m telling you, today you have to give us an explanation anyway. Laozi is fed up with the constant abuse of people on the Internet. Laozi has lost such a big face for the first time in business for so many years!”

Several bosses said in a rather grumpy mood.

Previously, Zhang Yimou had a menacing appearance and threatened them through the contract. Now that there is a crisis in the matter, he just pretended to be dead here. This is impossible to justify.

If Zhang Yimou couldn’t give them a reasonable way to solve this matter today, they would definitely not let Zhang Yimou go easily.

Several bosses looked at Zhang Yimou’s gaze, and began to exude bursts of coldness.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Yimou felt the attitude of these bosses, and his anger began to soar gradually.

After pondering for a moment, he suppressed his anger and said to these bosses.

“Anyway, I had negotiated with you about the filming rate at the beginning, and you agreed to my proposal. Didn’t you measure it yourself before doing these things? Now that there is a problem, just take care of it. All the responsibilities are on me, do you think I am being taken advantage of?”

At this time, Zhang Yimou began to talk nonsense with nothing but nothing.

Anyway, his entertainment circle is a big director, even if there is a problem with the movie this time, as long as the scene is found in the next movie, it is enough.

For him, the failure of a movie will hurt his reputation, but it won’t make a big mistake.

When several bosses heard these words, they looked at Zhang Yimou with shocked faces.

It is unbelievable that a leading director can be so brazen to such an extent.

Mr. Liu snorted coldly, and his face became colder.

“So you mean, are you going to put all these responsibilities on us?”

“If this is the case, don’t forget, we people occupy more than 90% of the theaters in the country. If you treat us with such an attitude, are you not afraid of a complete tear between us and you? Did you lose your face?”

At this time, President Liu also began to threaten Zhang Yimou.

In any case, they will definitely not be able to take all the problems this time to themselves, which will have a huge impact on the reputation of the movie theater.

He didn’t want that, no matter who appeared, he could point to his nose and curse in front of him, with no eyesight.

“What do you want?” Zhang Yimou’s face stiffened slightly, and he said in a calm voice.

“You are now starting to apologize in front of everyone, showing that something went wrong during the filming of this film, and you are willing to take responsibility.”

Mr. Liu said loudly.

Only in this way, their cinema will be able to transfer all the responsibilities to Zhang Yimou.

After all, there are countless people who will enter the movie theaters to watch movies under Zhang Yimou’s name, and these movie theaters are naturally aimed at Zhang Yimou’s reputation, so Zhang Yimou’s high filming rate is given to Zhang Yimou.

As soon as this kind of statement is released, the focus of everyone’s fishing boat will naturally shift from the fact that their cinema deliberately violated the guidance document to Zhang Yimou.



At that time, they can avoid the cinema from being investigated in the follow-up time.

“What are you kidding?” Zhang Yimou flatly rejected Mr. Liu’s proposal.

His face was gloomy, and his voice was full of anger.

“Are you planning to destroy my foundation in the entertainment industry?”

“What are your grudges or grievances with me? You want to treat me in this way?”

Zhang Yimou questioned Mr. Liu.

He is a well-known director in China, how can he apologize like ordinary people.

If this is the case, wouldn’t it be that he himself admitted that there was a problem with the quality of the film.

Do not!

He absolutely cannot accept that this kind of thing happened to him.

“So, if you refuse to go down, then we will push you down together. If there is any loss at that time, then your face will be even more ugly.”.
