Chapter 947 (1/2)
At the beginning, the Chinese cinema was divided into four parts, all of which were partitioned by foreign film companies regardless of the cost.
As a result, it is only a year's effort, and before we can taste the sweetness, the box office quota of Chinese local cinemas will drop. It is bound to cause them to suffer too, and they will have to reduce the profit ratio at the same time, otherwise they will be in an awkward situation where there is no film to put.
At that time, not to mention the Chinese local film companies, even their own domestic film companies may also find the Chinese cinema to show, who let them give the big profits.
Therefore, in addition to these four cinemas, the companies related to foreign theaters are also anxious to find solutions like ants on the hot pot.
At this time, a staff member knocked on the door and said, ”general manager Yu, President Hu, general managers of Lida cinema, Suzuki cinema, Huamei United cinema and wolf House Cinema are all here, hoping to see each other.”
Yu Haidao: ”they come so fast. I will meet them in person.”
Last year, in order to compete for the film market, the big cinemas were killing each other. Now in the face of the United coercion of the whole Huaxia film company, they have to put down their prejudices and come to discuss countermeasures.
After a while, in the sea led four imposing middle-aged men to come in.
As opponents, we are naturally very familiar with each other, and then cut into the main topic.
George, the general manager of Lida cinema, said, ”ladies and gentlemen, it's rare that we all sit here together. Although we made some unhappy before, it was just competition and it was normal in the market. But this time, we will face the same big trouble, we must join hands with the enemy, otherwise we will have to drink the northeast wind
Yu Haidao: ”Mr. George, do you have any good idea?”
George obviously had thought about this question for a long time, and said: ”Hollywood has had such a thing, but it has been broken down by the eight major film companies. We can refer to their methods, draw in some groups and suppress others. By comparing the two, we will naturally win without a fight. ”
Hu Yaoting shook his head and said with a wry smile, ”although Mr. George is a master of China, he does not seem to understand the Chinese system. I have called the bosses of more than ten large, medium and small film and television companies I have worked with, hoping to exchange 50% of the allocation quota in the first week for their films. Unfortunately, none of them dare to sell. It's got to be 55 percent to let go. Do you know why, Mr. George
The boss of Huamei United Company is a Chinese American, whose name is Chai Guanghui. He is very familiar with the Chinese system and says, ”is it the government that supports it?”
Hu Yaoting nodded and said, ”yes. The director and vice minister of the Ministry of culture personally grasp this matter. Which film company dares to take the courage of bear heart leopard and sell the film to us. If they don't sell, they will not only lose, but also make a lot of money. If they sell, not only the Ministry of culture can't spare them, but also the entertainment companies. At that time, it may not even have a foothold. ”
Li Rongguang asked, ”Mr. George, I heard that your American ambassador to China has already communicated with the Chinese government. What is the result?”
”They just said,” George said, ”it's business, it's not about the government.”
Wang Lu said with a wry smile: ”we have no evidence that the government is involved in this matter. Even if we have it, we dare not take it out. No one or company will come to a good end against the government. ”
George asked, ”what do you do? Do you really want to reduce profits? ”
Yu Haidao: ”Mr. George, there are more than 18000 screens in our Xinhua summer cinema. Now the movies in our hands can't even last a month. If there is no new movie, our cinema will not only not make money, but also pay for it. Therefore, once we can't solve this problem within a month, we can only compromise and agree to their demands. ”
”Mr. Yu, you can't do this. Once you compromise, the whole Chinese film market will be completely destroyed. ”
