Chapter 655 (1/2)
Xiao Yunhai walked out of the building of the film and Television Bureau with the film on his face.
before he got on the bus, his mobile phone rang and opened it. It was a strange number.
”Hello, I'm Xiao Yunhai.”
A magnetic voice came from the phone.
”Hello, Mr. Xiao. I'm Ren Jiwen, the manager of Xingguang cinema. I wonder if you remember me
Xiao Ren, you always said, ”can you forget me?”
They were polite. Ren Jiwen said, ”Mr. Xiao, I don't know if you are free now. I'd like to treat you to a cup of tea.”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”no problem.”
Xiao Yunhai likes tea and doesn't like to drink coffee. He doesn't know when it spread. Later, people who asked him for tea basically asked him to have tea.
When he came to the Tea House agreed with Ren Jiwen, Xiao Yunhai saw Ren Jiwen sitting by the window.
Xiao Yunhai walked over, shook hands with him, sat down opposite him, and said with a smile, ”Mr. Ren, how can you invite me to have a cup of tea?”
Ren Jiwen poured a cup for him and said, ”Mr. Xiao, please come here this time to discuss whether you can give your new film Infernal Affairs to us for screening?”
Xiao Yunhai showed a certain look and said, ”Mr. Ren, your news is too smart. My movie has just been approved, you found it. It seems that there are also your friends from the film and Television Bureau. ”
Ren Jiwen said with a casual smile: ”it's not just me. I'm afraid the other two cinemas also have their own people. If you want to grasp the opportunity first, you need some means, which is very normal. Mr. Xiao, as long as you give the movie to our starlight cinema, I can give you a rebate of 8%
”Eight percent?” ”Why?” Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise
Ren Jiwen said without any concealment: ”recently, it's not only our starlight, but also Baihua and Huafeng
It turns out that after Huaxia cinema was divided up by those foreigners, the three private movie theaters have been in a dilemma of having no film to play in the past month.
In the past, they could manage theaters by introducing Hollywood blockbusters, but now the major Hollywood film companies have their own cinemas. Naturally, they will not give the films to Ren Jiwen for profit.
There is no way out. The three major cinemas can only resist the massive attack of Hollywood and other countries through domestic films. Unfortunately, except for a few three or four films that have made good box office, most of them have failed.
The market share of starlight cinema, which used to account for 15%, has dropped to 6% now. The other two cinemas are no better.
Xiao Yunhai combined with the three film emperors and two film makers to shoot the Infernal Affairs. Ren Jiwen has long been interested in this film, but he didn't expect that the film would be killed so quickly.
After a short period of time, Ren's six films made me worry.
He had a very good relationship with Yu Yuexian, so he called Yu Yuexian and asked her about the film.
Yu Yuexian told him that do not believe the rumors on the Internet, ”Infernal Affairs” is absolutely the classic of Chinese movies, compared with ”Jingwu hero”, the level of excellence is no less than.
Ren Jiwen can't help it.
He asked for Xiao Yunhai's mobile phone number from Yu Yuexian. After knowing that the film and Television Bureau had approved the approval, he immediately called Xiao Yunhai.
Ren Jiwen took a sip of tea and sighed: ”Mr. Xiao, now our domestic films have reached a very dangerous situation. If we go on like this, I'm afraid there will be big problems.”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”the reason why I still insist on shooting Infernal Affairs when making inception is to prove to you that our domestic films can beat Hollywood blockbusters. Mr. Ren, let's sign the contract. ”
