Chapter 1,629

Faced with the continued high ticket prices in movie theaters across the country, all audiences remained strangely silent. Originally, they were expecting the movie theaters to implement the 20 yuan ticket price mentioned by Lin Feng. For this reason, they also appealed on the Internet, even at the expense of

Fighting on the Internet with the gunmen hired by the movie theater owners.

But when the three movies "Dawn of the Dead", "Saw" and "Too Bad" were released in major theaters, and the 50 yuan or even 80 yuan ticket price suddenly appeared in front of the public, everyone was surprised.

Silent. But as the audience fell silent, the attendance rate also fell silent.

According to statistics from an authoritative media, in the first three days of the three movies "Dawn of the Dead", "Saw" and "Too Bad", the national average attendance rate was 15%. The attendance rate of 15%, unless the ticket price

Sell ​​it for more than 200 yuan, otherwise it will be an absolute loss.

Of course, what surprised the media was not the exaggeratedly low attendance of these three movies, but why the audience did not go into fits of rage. Not to mention being outraged, there were not even some abusive words on the Internet. In short, compared to the movies related to it a few days ago

The heated discussion about the 20 yuan ticket is now so silent that it’s scary.

This is so strange! - As reporters, their keen insight allowed them to detect a hint of strangeness.

Why are the audience so silent? - That's because they are waiting for Lin Feng's move.

Audiences are already very familiar with these three movies. Each of these three movies has made hundreds of millions of dollars in box office revenue in the United States. It can be said that Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" has made a lot of money.

.It is an absolutely good movie! Therefore, many viewers are looking forward to it when it is introduced to the country. Especially those men and women in love are looking forward to it. As for horror movies, all male students know that this is a close-up movie.

The best medium for a relationship with the girl you like.

Whether it's the bloody scenes in "Saw" or the suffocating zombie chase in "Dawn of the Dead", it's enough to make every delicate girl tremble with fear, and a scene may make them fly towards them at any time.

The only man you can rely on is in the arms of a man. You said, with such a hug, everything will fall into place. Then, it will be natural to hug, touch, and kiss...

Of course, there are also strong sisters who are not afraid of horror movies. But at this time, if girls are not afraid, then boys should be afraid of the head office. Anyway, as long as the relationship between the two parties can be further developed, that is enough. As for whether they will be despised by girls, compared to

For girls like this who can watch horror movies without fear, a weaker man can more arouse the motherly love deep in their hearts.

Therefore, male audiences have been looking forward to horror movies for a long time. However, the ticket price of 50 yuan or even higher has prevented them from pursuing love. For Airi, they should be angry. But why not angry? - Because they

Waiting for Lin Feng to make a move.

Lin Feng has always been a man who sticks to his word and is hard to follow. This time, Lin Feng made a promise to the national audience, but he was slapped in the face by these movie theater owners. Do you think Lin Feng can't be angry! Therefore, these audiences are not at all angry.

Don't be angry, they are just waiting to watch the show! Let's see how Lin Feng deals with these bastards who sell a movie ticket for such a high price!

Lin Feng, go teach these vampires a lesson, we support you! - Countless male viewers roared in their hearts.

"Boss, it seems that audiences across the country are waiting to watch the show!" Lin Chiling laughed. The current situation can be said to be beyond her expectation. She did not expect that the audience across the country would be so cute and smart, and they would actually know how to sit on the mountain and watch.

Tiger fights, watch Lin Feng punish these movie theater owners.

Lin Feng also smiled. He originally wanted to use the audience's power to suppress these cinema owners, but he never thought that these audiences would directly use his own power to wait for the day when the ticket price dropped to 20 yuan. Chinese people are so smart!

But Lin Feng is not stupid either!

Immediately, Lin Feng immediately held a press conference, announcing that the price of these three movies was 20 yuan per ticket, and they could be purchased in groups, and if you were a "Second World" member, you could even enjoy a 25% discount. He also claimed,

In the introduction of these three movies, the "Second Entertainment" company has reduced the profit share in order to allow all Chinese audiences to enjoy excellent movies in cinemas.

"I implore all movie theater owners to understand the principle of small profits but quick turnover. Cheap movie ticket prices will not make you lose money. On the contrary, as long as the ticket prices are low enough to allow the audience to return to the movie theater, you will not lose money.

, you can even earn more than you do now." Lin Feng said very sincerely.

In fact, when Lin Feng said this, he was quite insincere. Lin Feng really didn’t want these movie theater owners to lower their prices to 20 yuan, so that Lin Feng would have no reason to acquire these movie theaters. If he can’t acquire most of the movie theaters across the country, control

The national film market has an impact on Lin Feng's plans.

The result was as expected by Lin Feng. For Lin Feng's seemingly sincere request, no boss would buy it. In their opinion, what Lin Feng said was indeed right. The 20 yuan ticket price can indeed bring the audience back to the cinema, but

What if the audience doesn’t come back? What should we do? After all, piracy is so rampant now. For most people in China, whether they spend 50 yuan to watch a movie or 20 yuan to watch a movie, it is actually the same. Because, it always

It costs money.

For 20 yuan, you can buy a local chicken and eat it. If you spend 20 yuan to watch a movie that you can obviously watch on your computer, and if you spend 20 yuan to buy a local chicken, I am afraid that many Chinese people will choose to spend 20 yuan to buy a local chicken.

.You said, under such circumstances, how dare these cinema owners lower their prices. Now that they have lowered their prices, it will not be easy to raise them in the future. By then, there will be even fewer viewers.

Therefore, these big bosses firmly disagree with price cuts because they cannot afford to gamble. What's more, they are not willing to gamble.

Faced with the choice of the "Movie Alliance", the audience once again turned their attention to Lin Feng, wanting to see what Lin Feng wanted.

What can Lin Feng do? Under the pursuit of reporters from all over the country, Lin Feng shrugged helplessly in front of the camera: Now, I have no choice. After all, this cinema is not mine. I only have the right to make suggestions, not to decide. The price of the ticket,

It's these movie theater owners who decide, not me. Unless I'm the owner of this movie theater.

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, many reporters' minds immediately became active. What did Lin Feng mean by saying this? Is it just such a casual statement? Although considering Lin Feng's age, the possibility of saying it casually is very high.

.But Lin Feng is not an ordinary young man, not one who has just graduated from school and has never seen the market. Instead, he has been working hard in the business world for 5 years (from 1999 to now in 2004) and has grown from a white man to a world leader.

The richest and most powerful man.

Perhaps Lin Feng is still slightly deficient mentally, not calm enough, sophisticated enough, low-key enough, and clumsy enough, but Lin Feng's IQ and EQ are definitely not low. Lin Feng's words are by no means aimless, and they are obviously hidden.

Deep meaning. So what does Lin Feng mean? Does Lin Feng want to buy movie theaters across the country? - As soon as this idea came to his mind, all the reporters were shocked.

However, although this idea is quite shocking, it is not impossible. Think of Lin Feng and Ellison acquiring more than half of the movie theaters in the United States, making them strong enough to compete with established film companies such as "Sony Columbia", "Warner Brothers" and other companies.

To compete, it is not impossible for Lin Feng to acquire all the film companies in China. Don’t forget that Lin Feng is rich now, very rich.

From the more than 30 billion US dollars won from Japan, after deducting the 10 billion gold reserves and depositing them in the "Second Bank", Lin Feng still has about 30 billion US dollars in hand (including the 9.5 billion US dollars in compensation from the US government).

At present, there are only about 10,000 movie screens in China, and it doesn't cost much to acquire them. At least compared to Lin Feng, it's not a big number. - Thinking about it this way, Lin Feng really wants to buy cinemas across the country.

.

This news was immediately revealed by many reporters.

At the moment, the whole country was in an uproar! No one thought that Lin Feng would actually want to acquire movie theaters across the country. This is really a shocking thing. Although everyone still doesn’t know what Lin Feng wants to do, for many viewers, this

But it's a good thing. If Lin Feng really acquires movie theaters across the country, then they will really be able to enjoy a low movie ticket price of 20 yuan. And there will be discounts!

Thinking of this, the audience's hearts boiled. They began to appeal and roar, strongly urging Lin Feng to purchase movie theaters across the country, because they also wanted to enjoy a wonderful audio-visual feast in the movie theater instead of looking at a small screen in front of a computer.

I endured the poor sound and watched one blockbuster after another in frustration. Although it cost nothing, it was really unpleasant to watch. Especially some blockbusters, such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", were watched in the cinema

It is a completely different concept than watching it at home.

Therefore, the audience is excited. But for those movie theater owners, they are unhappy. Quite unhappy. Although movie theaters are not very profitable at present, this is their business and their territory. Now that Lin Feng wants to come in,

They came in and didn't take them seriously. Moreover, the purchase price proposed by Lin Feng based on the enthusiasm of the audience was really "low enough" and was far from the number they had in mind.

But in the face of the powerful Lin Feng, the "Film Alliance" began to gather together to discuss countermeasures. Facing the powerful Lin Feng, if everyone does not work together, they will definitely be collectively doomed in the end. As a result, China's cinema giants gathered in Shanghai

Cinema.

Shanghai Cinema is located at the intersection of Xinhua Road and Panyu Road, Changning District, Shanghai, China. It was one of the practical projects of the Shanghai Municipal Government in 1991. It was the first five-star cinema in Shanghai and pioneered the first of multiplex cinemas in China. Since 1993

It has been continuously rated as a municipal civilized unit since 2006. It has won the Best Design Award for Shanghai's top ten new attractions in the 1990s, won the Shanghai Classic Architecture Nomination Award for the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, and has served as the main venue for all previous Shanghai International Film Festivals.

, Shanghai Cinema is a large-scale cultural enterprise integrating film screening, conferences, catering, entertainment, bookstores, advertising, and exhibitions. In 2003, it tried the chain operation model for the first time in China, fully investing in the 10th floor of Yaohan in Pudong.

A chain of cinemas - 'New Century Cinemas'. In 2004, it also chain-operated Southwest Cinemas, which expanded the scale of the cinemas. Shanghai Cinemas, New Century Cinemas, and Southwest Cinemas provide artistic exchanges, film screenings, etc.

It provides a full range of services for film-based cultural activities.

However, with the passage of time and the development of the times, Shanghai Cinemas, which was once a de facto project of the municipal government, was also bought by a private owner. The current owner can be considered a prominent figure in Shanghai. His name is Mr. Ma

, this "Film Alliance" was established at his call.

"Everyone, Lin Feng is dreaming this time when he wants to acquire our theaters at such a low price. We must never let him occupy the national theater market like this. So we must unite!" Mr. Ma made a strong appeal at the conference.

All the bosses present echoed in unison.

"Of course, we also know that Lin Feng is very strong, and there are people above him. But I have always believed in one thing, that is, the power of the collective is better than the individual. Although Lin Feng is very strong, as long as we all unite and unite, we can win.

We will definitely be able to hold on to the theater market." Mr. Ma continued to shout.

"Yes, we must unite." Mr. Liu, general manager of Shimao International Cinema, also stood up and appealed.

"Yes, I don't believe that Lin Feng really has three heads and six arms. No matter how powerful he is, he is still a human being. There are so many of us here, and one spit from each of us is enough to drown a child like him." Someone said disdainfully.

"Yes, he went against many of us this time. Hmm, he simply didn't know what he was capable of. And if he messes around like this, the country will definitely not allow him to mess around like this." Someone sneered.

"Haha, it's just that maybe this time he will end up causing displeasure from the higher-ups, and then he will be miserable. Hum, at that time, I wonder how he will explain to the higher-ups! Without support from the higher-ups, he is nothing!

"An obviously older man said sarcastically.

Everyone was talking and degrading Lin Feng as worthless. It seemed that at this moment, Lin Feng was no longer the super rich man who could be picked up and dropped off by 12 Hongqi cars in Beijing, with a net worth of nearly 100 billion US dollars, but a man who could do whatever they wanted.

The little fishy gangster.

Mr. Ma looked at the heated discussion with a satisfied expression. Looking at the man beside him, Mr. Ma nodded.

"Everyone, now we have to discuss a countermeasure to see how to make Lin Feng suffer a big loss this time. Hum, doesn't he want us to sell a movie ticket for 20 yuan, then we want him to cough up a little more profit sharing

Come on! We have to build a cinema, bear the risk of insufficient attendance, and pay various taxes. Why should Lin Feng only give us 15% of the share! We should have the right to ask for more. We can definitely ask for 20% or even 30%.

%." Mr. Ma chuckled.

Everyone suddenly let out a sound of obscenity. Generally speaking, a movie producer divides 43%, cinemas 50%, and theater chains 7%. Their theater chains, that is, movie theaters, only have 7% of the revenue.

This time, Lam Feng only sold the ticket price of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" for 10 yuan, giving them a full 15% profit share. As for the two horror movies and a comedy movie, Lam Feng also gave them 10 yuan.

%, and now they want 20%, or even 30%.
