Chapter 622 Sanctions!
"What!"
Several screams of exclamations sounded in the conference room, disrupting the already bleak atmosphere.
Wu Xueyi looked disbelief and asked loudly, "The five major theaters have only 3% of the screenings?"
The other four people also looked like they saw a ghost and stared at the distribution supervisor.
The distribution manager said with some difficulty, "Yes, the chairman, except for some pre-sold tickets tomorrow, there are nearly 7% of the film schedule. Starting the day after tomorrow, only 3% of the film schedule will be scheduled. After the evening, there will be at most one film schedule."
Now online ticket purchase accounts for 35%. Although movies like "Rooftop Love" that do not worry about not being able to buy tickets will not buy tickets so early in advance, after all, tickets cannot be refunded, but they also account for a part of the sessions. There will be 7% of the screens scheduled tomorrow, and almost all the sessions without pre-sale will be withdrawn.
"how so!"
Wu Xue looked in disbelief.
The other few were not much better. Tang De CEO Wu Hongliang frowned and asked, "Did you understand why the other party did this?"
The distribution manager shook his head, "I don't know, there was no warning before. I've been to several theaters before."
"What the hell is going on? The first weekend is almost over, why did you take action at this time?"
Everyone looked puzzled. Even if both sides were competitors in the same schedule, there was nothing to say about lowering the schedule. It was not a malicious competition, and it didn't even criticize you.
But if you want to do it, you should reduce the schedule from the first day of release. Now, domestic movies with average quality have one-third of the total box office in the first week, and even half of the total box office in the first four days.
I don’t have to wait for the filming process when the box office explodes. Now the weekend is over. What do you want to do?
"Mr. Zhang, go and inquire about the news. Tang An cannot take action for no reason. Something must have happened." Wu Xue ordered the distribution supervisor.
"Interstellar" was announced to be scheduled for summer at the end of last year. In addition, "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles", a domestic movie will not be moved until the end of July or simply to August.
They also want to get a flaw. "Grave Robbers" has two weeks left before "Interstellar", and there is only a blockbuster film "Interstellar".
Tang An is awesome, but in the previous New Year holidays, there were two movies worth 600 million.
Moreover, "Love in the Rooftop" is a musical and dance film, and the two do not conflict. At most, the screening is a little less, so it is better to wait until the end of the summer.
To put it bluntly, whether it is for them or Tang An, "Love in the Rooftop" is not considered an opponent of "Interstellar", but he just followed behind and took a sip of soup.
How could a small character who was indifferent to the Tao let Tang An take action? Both sides did not celebrate the festival.
Wu Xue couldn't figure it out. After all, Hengda Film and Television is backed by Hengda Real Estate, and ordinary people will not provoke it.
Although Hengda entered the film and television industry mainly to develop real-life entertainment projects, it did not pay much attention to Hengda Film and Television.
However, Wu Xue attaches great importance to it. She has to make achievements. This has led to finding Fan Binbin, who cooperated with Hengda. Through Fan Binbin's agent's relationship in Baodao, she contacted Jay Chou and participated in the investment.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and turned to Jiang Zhiqiang.
"Mr. Jiang, you and Tang An"
Half of the words are self-evident.
Wu Hongliang and the others also understood what Wu Xue was saying, and they all looked at Jiang Zhiqiang.
Now "Rooftop Love" is definitely a failure in Baodao Base Camp, and can only count on the box office in the mainland.
Originally, the data of nearly 30 million in three days must be at least 10 million in the end. It is not impossible to have a good luck of over 100 million.
In addition, with patch advertising, TV, online copyright, and Southeast Asian copyright, you will basically not lose money.
Now the five major theaters have sanctioned "Rooftop Love", and only 3% of the films will be scheduled in the future, so the subsequent box office will be cut by half.
I can't figure out why, the only possibility is Jiang Zhiqiang. After all, An Le and Meiya offended Tang An in Xiangjiang, and Tang An also said that he would not cooperate with them again.
Seeing that they were all looking at him, Jiang Zhiqiang waved his hand quickly, "I've thought too much. We, An Le and Meiya, will have other movies released in the first half of this year, and Tang An did not target us."
Everyone thought about it, and then started to think again.
Half an hour later, the head of the distribution department knocked on the door again and gave the answer.
"Chairman, I figured it out. A deputy general manager of the Beijing Cinema Management Company of Hantang Cinemas revealed some news."
Wu Xue was a little impatient, "What's the reason!"
The distribution manager hurriedly said, "It's because of Zheng Zhiwei, who played the second male lead in "Tiantai Love".
Zheng Zhiwei?
Everyone understood in an instant.
Cheng Jiashang was replaced by the director of the series "Four Famous Captains". Zheng Zhiwei was fine at that time, and many people thought that the matter was over.
But why did the movie take three days to be released? I still can’t figure it out.
But they were not interested in why, and the most urgent task was to calm this matter.
"Go and ask what they want to do?" Wu Xue immediately ordered.
"I asked, what they meant was that as long as Zheng Zhiwei did not appear in any promotional channels of the movie, including posters, videos, soft articles, roadshows, meetings, interviews, programs, and news channels, Zheng Zhiwei could not appear, and the schedule would return to normal." The distribution manager immediately said
The conference room fell into silence again.
After a while, Wu Xue raised her head and looked at the four of them, "What do you guys say?"
"I agree."
Mr. Tang De was the first to nod.
The most important thing for him is to ensure the box office of "Rooftop Love" and ensure the company's performance in the next two years.
Now that film and television companies are listed one by one, Wu Hongliang submitted a listing application to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in early 12 years. He must maintain profits for three consecutive years, otherwise the listing business will be ruined.
In contrast, Zheng Zhiwei is just a sold.
Mu Xiaoguang thought for a moment and nodded, "I have no objection."
He doesn't care about Xiangjiang, he doesn't even care about Baodao, and specializes in the mainland market. Besides, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is just like that now, and he will breathe a sigh of dying.
Jiang Zhiqiang didn't say anything, and Wu Xue looked at Yang Junlong again. After all, "Love in the Rooftop" is a film made by Jay Chou alone. Without him, let alone 30 million in three days, three million are dreams.
Five investors, three agree, but Jiang Zhiqiang does not object.
Yang Junlong thought about it for a while and could only say helplessly, "Jaylen and Zheng Zhiwei filmed "Slam Dunk" and "Spirituals" together. They have a good relationship, and everyone knows that."
Wu Xue tapped the table gently with her fingers and said, "There are two consecutive blockbusters in "Shuling" and "Su Qi'er" failed, and all the benefits of "Reverse War" were added together to make up. If she fails again this time, Mr. Yang should know the consequences."
"I'll discuss with Jaylen."
Yang Junlong is also a pure businessman, and Alpha has always been in charge and serves as the general manager.
Later, Wu Zhongxian sold Alpha to Hodile. His general manager was defeated in just a few years and decisively took Jay Chou away.
It is a troublesome to just do the job of Jay Chou.
Yang Junlong went to the next room and made a phone call. He called for more than half an hour, and he was relieved when he came back.
"Okay, go and contact Han and Tang."
The next step is to change the publicity method. Zheng Zhiwei cannot be mentioned in the publicity of the party, and those soft articles and news must be deleted and modified.
Zheng Zhiwei cannot participate in the roadshow, and the fans and media arranged for the arrangement will cause trouble.
The TV station also needs to say hello.
Of course, Zheng Zhiwei must also be notified.
Everything was arranged, and the few of them felt a little frustrated.
But there is something to do if you feel frustrated. You can't twist your thighs. You hold two major weapons: ticket terminal and projection terminal, and you still have a lot of shares.
What Wu Xue is frustrated is that behind her is Hengda Group, which is far more powerful than Han and Tang media, but in the film and television industry, Hengda Film and Television is not enough to watch in others' eyes.
What Jiang Zhiqiang is frustrated is that he, who has overseas distribution channels, was able to take the initiative when facing Huayi seven or eight years ago, when facing Huayi, and now he is not even qualified to talk to Tang An.
Wu Hongliang secretly thought that he would make Tang De go public smoothly. If he went public, he would be able to expand quickly, and his voice would be greater in the entertainment industry.
The initiator of this incident, Tang An, had already interviewed in Tianjing at this time and went to a cinema.
On the bus to the next stop, Tang An received a call from the theater president Qu Bo.
"Yes, okay, let's resume the screening."
Hang up the phone and throw the phone to Zhou Li.
For some people who take the initiative to cause trouble, Tang An never knows how to write the word "Da Lu".
As for why they were reduced on Sunday.
Well, Tang Anchun had forgotten.
Although Zheng Zhiwei is a "big boss" in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, this "big boss" who is called a pig's head if he says something wrong.
I really didn't notice it. Last night I accidentally glanced at the poster of "Love in the Rooftop" in the cinema and remembered it, so I called the bosses of several major theaters.
This is a small matter, and the summer season is not without movies. There are three new films released, so they can't lose much.
Compared to the little money lost, the release of "Hong Kong Empress" alone is a lot of money.
However, since the other party was willing to do it, Tang An resumed the screening for them.
It is not good to make the theaters lose money. Even if the money is not much, it will be a loss.
The original Wuzhou issue and Sihai issue were gradually worse than before because of the interests between members.
Interest is the best bond to maintain the alliance. If you make your allies lose money this time, then there will be next time, next time.
Many people will only see that you are losing money and choose to ignore making money by relying on you.
Even if the alliance does not collapse, there will be a gap
At this time, in the lounge of a cinema in Magic City, Jay Chou and the actors were talking and laughing.
Suddenly, Jay Chou answered a phone call, said a few words and went out again. It was not until more than half an hour before he opened the door and came in.
His face looked very bad, and he said a few words to Zheng Zhiwei, and the two went out again, leaving behind everyone who didn't know why.
