In later generations, there was a photo of a gathering of Internet tycoons. Brother Xiao Ma, Mr. Lei, and Brother Dong were all there.

If some netizens took pictures of Cheng Yuan and others gathering together now, this lineup would be no worse than that one.

His net worth may not be as high as that of an Internet tycoon, but his influence on the industry is not lost at all.

Yuan Cheng Yu'an, Huayi Wang Zhonglei, Xingmei Qinhong, Bernard Yudong, Guangxian Wang Changtian, Fu Ruoqing, deputy director of China Film Publishing Co., Ltd.

The next day, Cheng Yuan arrived at the company.

Chen Zhixi asked him what he had discussed with these bosses yesterday.

Cheng Yu'an said: "I know they didn't hold anything back."

"What's wrong?"

"They wanted to join forces during the Lunar New Year holiday to force theaters to increase their share of the revenue. Yesterday they wanted to find out what we were talking about."

"Are they crazy?" From the producer and distributor side, Chen Zhixi certainly hopes that theater chains can increase their revenue sharing, but she also knows that mentioning this now is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

Chen Zhixi's next analysis revealed why these five major issuers dared to do this, and they did so just in time for this year's Lunar New Year.

This year's Lunar New Year festival starts with the earliest releases of "The King's Feast" (Star Beauty) and "1942" (Huayi), followed by the long-distance "Thailand" and "Twelve" jointly released by Huayi's Bernard

"Zodiac", then Xingmei's "Blood Drops" and Bernard's "Big Shanghai", in January next year there will be "Manslaughter" jointly produced and released by Yuanyuan and Guangxian, and in February there will be "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" jointly released by Huayi and Yuanxian

Chapter》.

It can be said that this year’s Lunar New Year stalls are another big fight among domestic producers, with several private publishers almost monopolizing the Lunar New Year stalls.

Moreover, December, the hottest month, has no competition from Hollywood blockbusters.

This gave Yu Dong and Wang Zhonglei sufficient confidence to negotiate with theaters: "If you don't increase my share, I will cut off the supply and I won't give you the film. It depends on what you show."

The reason why we approached Cheng Yu'an is because Yuan Yuan is currently the most successful company in opening up production and distribution theaters, and it is also the largest private production and distribution company in China.

If they don't participate remotely, or if Cheng Yu'an stays on the theater side, their alliance will not be successful.

Cheng Yu'an said: "I expressed my position at the party and stood on the issue side."

When Chen Zhixi was about to say something, Cheng Yu'an added: "China Film Group has already joined, so it would be inappropriate for us not to take a stand. Don't worry, this alliance was created by Bernard and Huayi. Let them take the lead and we will shout from behind."

"Can it be done?"

"They can become a ghost!" Cheng Yu'an was not optimistic about this loose alliance at all. "They are all a bunch of young men. They can't charge into battle, and each one stabs them in the back harder than the other.

"We will be the younger brothers this time and just issue a statement. If it works, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't work, the status quo will be maintained at most. We will lose nothing."

The most anxious one in this alliance is definitely Huayi. The two "Tai Chi" movies lost all their money, and "1942" and "Zodiac" are facing huge pressure to repay their money.

"Do you want to tell Fang Bin (General Manager of Jiahe Cinema Line) about this?"

"If you don't tell him first, he will know what to do when the time comes. If we tell him in advance, it will be easy for others to get caught." This matter will never happen. The one above is on the theater line.

Yuan Yuan decided to be a bastard in this matter and followed behind to wave the flag.

This matter is left to Guo Fei to do. The six major distributors will have to plot for a while on how to force the theaters to give up profits.

…………

The National Day release has been put on hold, and the company did not expect the results of "BJ Meets Seattle" to be so good.

When Liu Yifei and Xue Xiaolu led the team back to the capital, the company decided to hold a grand celebration party for the crew.

The best result in domestic comedy!

This achievement is enough to make Liu Yifei and Xue Xiaolu, who are new to comedy, proud.

Xue Xiaolu has thus become the female director with the highest box office for a Chinese-language film!

At the celebration party, Xue Xiaolu and Cheng Yuan were sitting in the audience.

"Yifei has many fans. Everywhere she goes, most of them are fans of Yifei." Xue Xiaolu told Cheng Yu'an.

She, the highest-grossing female director, has indeed benefited from Liu Yifei.

The overall quality of "BJ Meets Seattle" is good, and the box office performance should not be bad if it were a different actress, but it would be a bit difficult to achieve the current revenue of more than 600 million.

"Let us welcome our protagonists, Liu Yifei and Yu Hewei!" The host invited the two people to come to the stage.

The two entered the venue from the side.

Liu Yifei is holding a cup of coffee in her right hand and holding Yu Hewei's arm in her left hand.

The two hugged the director in the audience first. Unexpectedly, when Liu Yifei and Xue Xiaolu hugged, the coffee in their hands was not lifted and spilled on Xue Xiaolu's back.

The whole audience laughed, and Liu Yifei kept apologizing to Xue Xiaolu.

Xue Xiaolu took off her coat, said it didn't matter, and smiled: "Come on stage."

The male and female actors gave speeches on the stage. Yu Hewei first said: "Neither Yifei nor I have ever acted in a comedy. To be honest, we are quite nervous. I still have to grow a beard like that. I am actually an idol actor..."

Yu Hewei was quite cool and said that he was an idol, which made the audience laugh.

Then came Liu Yifei: "I want to apologize to our director Xiao Lu first. When I came in just now, coffee spilled on her clothes. She was originally wearing a very beautiful suit jacket. I'm sorry to the director." He said on the stage.

Bow to Xue Xiaolu.

Xue Xiaolu smiled and waved her hands in the audience.

Liu Yifei continued: "I really didn't expect that there would be such good results. I originally thought that it would be enough to get back the money with 200 million to 300 million, because this is the first time that I have cooperated with Teacher Yu Hewei, and both of them were first."

This is my first comedy performance, and I would like to thank the audience for their love and support."

"It's fun to be on the set. Teacher Yu Hewei is very good at acting. I learned a lot from him."

"No, no," Yu Hewei said modestly, "Yifei also helped me a lot. My English is not good, so Yifei came to me word for word for all the English lines in the play."

"You don't know yet, Yifei's cooking skills are very good." Yu Hewei began to reveal, "I began to think that such a beautiful girl, a fairy sister, should not eat the fireworks of the world, even if she can cook, I guess

Her skills are limited. She plays a food editor. I didn’t expect that she can actually cook, and she’s not bad at it. Sometimes when the crew is off, she will even cook for us.”

"I know a few home-cooked dishes," Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Business competition began.

The last step was to knock the ice cubes. Cheng Yuan stopped and the crew completed the process.

After breaking the ice cubes, the celebration dinner officially started.

"How do you feel? It's more than 600 million, and it could break 700 million if you don't guarantee it all later." Cheng Yu'an knew that she didn't have a serious meal today, so he got her some food first.

"It's not bad," Liu Yifei said with a very coquettish smile, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The price of 600 to 700 million also means that the burden on our shoulders is heavier."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm so shameless, eat it quickly." Cheng Yu'an nodded at her.
