Chapter 947 (2/2)
Xinhua courtyard line is the largest one in China, covering all major cities in China. If it surrenders, other cinemas will have to surrender.
Hu Yaoting said: ”everybody, the strength behind general manager Yu and I can no longer support us, so we can only rely on you. We have only one month, and if we can't do it by then, we can't do anything about it. ”
Everyone was silent, and the air seemed to be dignified.
In fact, it is not only the Xinhua summer cinema line, but also the Baihua and Xingguang cinemas. Only Huafeng international cinema invested more than 20 films, large and small, last year, which can survive for some time.
George, Chai Guanghui and others have no way to show their films in their cinemas.
Half an hour later, Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting personally sent them downstairs.
Looking at a luxury car slowly driving out, Hu Yaoting sighed and said, ”general manager Yu, is there really no chance?”
Yu Hai nodded and said, ”it is obvious that the Ministry of culture has no excuse to force our cinemas to change the profit distribution, so it has pushed these film companies to the front desk and become the vanguard. Once we don't have a movie to show, Chinese fans will have a good reason to join in. At that time, we will not discuss with you, but issue orders directly. Ha ha, Mr. Hu, Yunhai is right. We have no hope of winning. If the government is in a hurry, let alone our Xinhua summer courtyard line. Even Hu's electronics and Yu's real estate will not have a good life. ”Hu Yaoting said with a bitter smile: ”it seems that we have no choice but to compromise.”
At 9 a.m. the next day, the managers of the major courtyard lines in China held a press conference to announce that the film box office quota was the most reasonable international allocation method and did not hinder the development of the film industry.
In order to obtain more profits, the film companies, regardless of the life and death of the cinema lines and the opposition of Chinese fans, demand to change the box office quota system is totally untenable. Therefore, our cinemas will not be used to this problem.
Even if we lose money every day, we will never agree to their demands.
Hundreds of reporters attending the press conference were excited after hearing their tough words.
”Mr. Li Rongguang, can your words represent all the other cinemas?”
”Of course. Whether it is the four major cinemas in China or in foreign countries, they will advance and retreat together and will never compromise. ”
”Mr. Li, do you think the cinema can afford it? The film companies don't make movies for you. They can make TV series. How do you get through this difficult period? ”
Li Rongguang said: ”it's better to be a broken jade than a complete one. It's a big deal. We'll find directors and actors to shoot. If we don't shoot at home, we'll go abroad. Without domestic production, we will introduce foreign films. Want us to agree to their unreasonable demands, unless the sun rises in the West. ”
”Mr. Li, the major film companies think that the box office share of your cinemas is too high, which makes them dare not invest in big productions. In the long run, it will seriously hinder the development of Chinese films. What do you think of this? ”
Li Rongguang said scornfully: ”if we can't get it, we'll complain about our high share. It's just a joke. Hollywood can make dozens of blockbusters with an investment of more than 300 million dollars a year, and the box office share is the same as ours. Why don't they dare to invest. These people say this only as scapegoats, and then for their own benefit
”As we all know, except for the blockbuster blockbusters, the box office of a movie in its first week can basically account for more than 60% of the total box office. The original share was 57 for us and 43 for them. Now let them engage in business, and they will become fifty-five of them and forty-five of us. It's equivalent to giving them 12 percent of the box office, which is unfair to us
”Hollywood spent hundreds of billions last year to buy a part of the former Chinese theater,” George said, speaking fluent Chinese. Judging from last year's profits, it will take at least 20 years for us to earn back our capital. If the box office share is reduced by 12% at once, then we will have more than 30 years to recover, not counting the astronomical interest. I'm 56 years old, and I'm probably not going to see a profit on the day I die. We are really disappointed with the environment of Chinese movies. I'm George. Ask the film companies to let us live. ”
