Chapter 270 The North Americans Do Business Dirty
Chapter 270 Yankees are very dirty in doing business.
Why are Wu Zui and Zhou Ming's expressions so ugly at this moment?
This is because they received a joint message from multiple theater chains in North America, which generally informed them that the theater chain's resources were insufficient.
Yes, they said that theaters do not have enough film scheduling resources because Hollywood has completed too many movies this summer.
There are films to be released one after another, at least forty or fifty!
And there are quite a few big names!
This shows the difference between the global film and television market distribution center and the Hanxia film and television industry.
If this were the case in Hanxia, having more than a dozen films in one schedule, or even one season, would already be a grand event.
Forty or fifty? I have never seen that before.
But now in Hollywood, they are actually told that there are forty or fifty movies to be released in one summer season??
"It's no wonder they said they don't have enough resources to schedule films. It's no wonder they can allocate them so well." Wu Zui rubbed his temples.
"But why are you talking to us?"
This is the situation now. The theater chain has informed them that as they see it, there are too many movies to be released in this period and there is a serious shortage of resources. Therefore, they have been notified that they, as the same film studio, have two movies in the same period.
To be released.
But this is a serious erosion of resources, or they only release one of them, and the film scheduling rate is 3%.
Or, another movie will be postponed and released, and only one movie will be released this summer.
"Why us? As far as I know, there are many companies that have produced two or even three movies with the same studio this time, right? We are not the only one." Zhou Ming felt unhappy: "How come we just found one?
What about us?"
"And the film schedule rate has also been compressed." Wu Zui also frowned: "Before, before "Saw" was released, everyone kept saying that the seed slot for the summer film was ours, but it turned out that there were no seed slots for the subsequent ones.
Yes, the film placement rate may only be about 13%."
But what now? The other party temporarily told them that even the 13% film arrangement rate has been reduced, leaving only 3%!
"Why do I feel like these Americians talk like farts and have no integrity at all? This is how their businessmen do business?" Xia Yuanmo said unhappily.
"This is what American businessmen are like."
Zhou Ming and Wu Zui glanced at Xia Yuanmo.
Wu Zui explained: "This is the largest capitalist country in the world. For money, these people do crazy things. This is a real and overt attempt to kill people for money. In the film and television industry, this is just to compress your schedule.
, at least I said hello to you, if you were in the food industry, you wouldn’t even know what you would eat to death.”
Zhou Ming nodded in agreement: "The Yankees have always been very dirty in doing business. If it wasn't necessary, no one would be willing to cooperate with them, so it's not unexpected, it can only be said to be reasonable."
"But I really can't figure it out, why us?" Xia Yuanmo frowned and said, "As you guys said, we are not responsible for the forty or fifty movies this time. There are so many movies released by so many film studios.
Is it normal for a film and television company to have more than one movie per season? Why do I feel like it’s deliberately targeting us?”
Just like what Xia Yuanmo said, for a film and television company, especially a large film and television company, it is definitely impossible to rely on one movie for such a long period of time.
It's okay to say that for small entertainment companies, it is true that most of them use the efforts of the entire company to complete a movie and then treat it as the hope of the whole village.
For example, this was the case with Guangyuan Media in the past.
But what about those large companies that have a huge number of artists under their banners, including many big names?
That is absolutely impossible.
So it’s puzzling that the theater chain only found them.
Why should it be them? This situation was not caused by them. Shouldn't it be the fault of their theaters instead?
There is no reasonable arrangement of resources and even no reasonable arrangement of films.
Do they know that the flexible film scheduling system is actually very confusing and even unscientific?
Of course I know.
But why do they still use it?
Isn't it just because it is convenient and saves trouble? It is the most scientific way to use your brain to calculate how to arrange films without having to spend so much manpower and material resources every day.
Don’t they know that this way of arranging films will make it impossible for many small companies to turn around their fine works?
Of course they know it too.
But why are they still unwilling to arrange it manually?
Or it's because people are too lazy.
So now Xia Yuanmo is angry. This is obviously the fault of those theaters, but now they have to bear the responsibility.
Wu Zui and Zhou Ming were also in a bad mood.
Their bad tempers came to an end instantly.
Wu Zui and Zhou Ming were not the kind of good gentlemen who were willing to take things easy. They were basically extremely arrogant.
One may give up everything to be with a senior barrister who has been bartering in the family for several years.
One is a grumpy old man who can directly roll up his sleeves and confront industry bosses if they disagree with him.
Neither of them have very good tempers.
Now something like this has happened.
Therefore, the opinions of Wu Zui and Zhou Ming undoubtedly stood on a united front.
"If it's not postponed, it will be released at the same time." Wu Zui said calmly.
"It's just because we are from Hanxia and they think we are easy to bully." Zhou Ming also sneered: "If we don't postpone it, they won't give it to us if they have the guts!"
But where does their confidence come from?
Very simple.
Zhou Ming took out his mobile phone, made a call, and then shouted confidently: "Mom! Someone ruined our game!!"
Wu Zui also picked up his mobile phone and started chatting on WeChat: "Old Wu!"
On the other side, in an office in a building far away in Hollywood.
Many wealthy-looking middle-aged white men in suits and ties gathered together.
"It's called Guangyuan Media, right? Han Xia's name should be this. I'm not sure, but it should be right. Anyway, the name of such a small character is not worthy of me writing down. What do they say?"
"They should give way obediently. After all, this is North America and our territory. If they want to hang out, of course they have to follow our rules."
"It's just Mr. Hanxia."
Those present, if there were outsiders present, would definitely be able to recognize them at a glance. These people are clearly the same gang that now controls more than 90% of Hollywood's film and television resources.
Hollywood is a very chaotic place. Although it is developing very well, the development of its works is also leading the world.
But when it comes to chaos, Hollywood says it is second, but no one in the world dares to say it is number one.
Including Han Xia, the kind of chaos in Han Xia's entertainment industry is simply not enough in front of Hollywood.
But no matter how chaotic it is, there will always be a group of people who claim to be the controllers of order.
