Zou Wenhuai's initiative to stand in line this time indeed won everyone's favor.
And everyone feels that this is not like a show. After all, Faye Wong is only slightly famous in the Hong Kong music scene.
Coupled with the chaos in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City, there are countless big-name celebrities who are harassed by paparazzi every day.
If Zou Wenhuai really wanted to hype up the character of a good gentleman, he would never approach Faye Wong.
This kind of news also touched Faye Wong's friends in the industry, and they were also moved by it.
He is also a giant in the film industry, and Zou Wenhuai's calmness makes people feel more friendly. When everyone sees him, they feel like they are meeting their elders.
Xiang Huaming's domineering behavior has long been famous in the industry.
Including this time, for the sake of his own business, he actually asked these celebrities who should not be involved in the dispute to take sides.
At first, everyone just felt that there was no one to support him and it was not easy to offend Xiang Huaming, so they listened to his words.
Now that there are people willing to support them, the situation is naturally different.
So Faye Wong received one call after another from her friends late at night.
Friends all apologized on the phone, thinking that the last meeting at Faye Wong's home was an opportunity, but unfortunately they did not seize it.
If there is still a chance for re-election, we will definitely not make any stupid statement about terminating cooperation with Jiahe.
The news then reached the ears of Chu Tianyao and Zou Wenhuai, and Zou Wenhuai's face was filled with joy.
But then Zou Wenhuai's assistant raised a more practical question.
"Mr. Chu's method is very good, but isn't it a little late now?"
"After all, these celebrities are all public figures, and they have just announced that they will not cooperate with Golden Harvest."
“If we go back on our word within a short period of time at this time, it may cause backlash.”
The assistant's worries were justified. After hearing this, Zou Wenhuai and Faye Wong began to think seriously.
After hearing this, Chu Tianyao didn't seem to be worried about this problem at all, and just said with a smile.
"Then you didn't pay attention to the news in this area."
"You can check it online or in media and news companies, and you will know by looking at the announcements issued by major celebrities."
Seeing Chu Tianyao being so secretive, Zou Wenhuai's assistant immediately began to investigate this information.
After getting it, the assistant looked at it for a long time but couldn't find any clues.
"Isn't there any difference?"
"Is there really no difference?
Look carefully here."
"Why do I feel that the meaning expressed here is very different!"
Chu Tianyao stretched out his hand and tapped the line above it. After reading it, the assistant suddenly understood.
"So that's it. It seems like there's no end in sight, boss!"
The assistant excitedly handed the information on hand to Zou Wenhai, and Chu Tianyao explained without hesitation.
The original Xiang Huaming did have powerful power, enough to intimidate most celebrities.
But at that time, he liked to leave a way out for himself and play tricks.
Except for those stars who have signed contracts with Yongsheng Film Company, the contents of announcements issued by others are different.
The announcement they issued was not about not cooperating with Jiahe Film Company, but any film company.
The reasons are naturally varied, some are pretending to be ill, and some lie about family matters.
Now in Chu Tianyao's opinion, he can make a big fuss in it!
"As long as you, Boss Zou, continue to express your stance, you can secretly contact these people and become their backers."
"Their attitude will change."
Faye Wong also understood what Chu Tianyao meant and followed.
"You are saying that according to the announcement, everyone can openly choose not to cooperate with any film company."
"If you come to Jiahe Film Company secretly in private, only Yongsheng Film Company will suffer, right?"
After Chu Tianyao heard what Faye Wong said, he smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's the truth."
"Xiang Huaming will then understand that his behavior is just shooting himself in the foot!"
"He's going to regret this!"
Chu Tianyao revealed more plans, and Zou Wenhuai also began to secretly contact most of the interested celebrities.
Finally, after several days of contact, Zou Wenhuai secretly signed nearly twenty celebrities.
Including some singers, there were many people in the 1990s who paid attention to the overall development prospects of their film and television songs.
The more famous representatives include senior Anita Mui, singer Jacky Cheung and others.
These contracts are what Zou Wenhuai holds in his hands, so after discussing with Chu Tianyao, he decided to continue dragging them out!
"Don't worry, Boss Zou, the three major theaters haven't had time to clean up yesterday's scandal."
"Just relying on their apology is of no use at all."
"Even if Xiang Huaming can hold on, the three major cinema giants can't hold on either!"
After listening to Chu Tianyao's analysis, Zou Wenhuai felt the same.
"I understand what you mean, seize customers, right?
I’m good at it!”
Zou Wenhuai immediately ordered that his only Jiahe Cinema be changed to a 24-hour business model.
Then the movie ticket prices for the same period were reduced by one-third.
After Chu Tianyao learned the news, he naturally did not hesitate to give in.
The original price of a VCD player was more than 5,000 yuan, but the price has also dropped to 4,000 yuan.
Chu Tianyao and Zou Wenhuai's double-pronged wave of big rewards directly attracted a large number of customers.
It doesn't matter even if a theater under Zou Wenhuai's name cannot cope with so many customers.
Chu Tianyao was a blessing in disguise. After the price was reduced by more than a thousand, people who were originally shy about VCD players began to take advantage of the festive atmosphere of the New Year and began to buy them out of their own pockets.
In just three days during the Chinese New Year, Chu Tianyao discovered that Xingyao Technology’s VCD sales increased by 100%!
While Chu Tianyao made a lot of money, he also ordered the processing factory in Shenzhen City to ensure normal supply of goods during the Chinese New Year.
When he and Zou Wenhuai were making a lot of money, Zong Hongguang couldn't stand it any longer.
"How is the business situation today?"
Zong Hongguang suddenly arrived at the theater, which shocked all the employees.
None of them dared to speak, and Zong Hongguang could only find the executive Hu Yuanlong angrily.
"Let me ask you a question! How is the business situation today?"
"It's okay boss, although it's not as good as others, it's not too bad."
Hu Yuanlong said with a smile on his face, and Zong Hongguang pointed at the viewing channel.
"Yeah?
Open the back door and let me in to see what’s going on!”
Fortunately, Hu Yuanlong was prepared. He quickly opened the back door and let Zong Hongguang in.
In fact, business has been very bad in the past few days, but Hu Yuanlong has always reported good news and not bad news in order to avoid being scolded.
Zong Hongguang also rushed to the scene after sensing something was wrong. He discovered the clues after entering the theater.
The theaters at Nottingham University were visually estimated to have an occupancy rate of almost 70%.
This is indeed in line with what Hu Yuanlong said: a steady and rising situation.
But when Zong Hongguang took a closer look, the problem was immediately exposed.
The customers sitting in front of Zong Hongguang began to fall asleep one after another, and even snored.
Zong Hongguang immediately called Hu Yuanlong and questioned him.
"Tell me what the hell is going on?"
"During the Chinese New Year, the ticket price is as high as 50 yuan a ticket. Will anyone spend 50 yuan to sleep here?"
Faced with doubts, Hu Yuanlong still explained forcefully.
"Boss, maybe these guests are too tired. Isn't this quite normal?"
"Humph, you still want to quibble in front of me?"
"Are all the guests tired?
And why are these guests so old!”
Facing Zong Hongguang's constant questioning, Hu Yuanlong could hardly hold himself any longer.
Just at this time, someone opened the back door and walked in happily.
He found a seat at random, and then planned to take off his work clothes and sit down, when he heard Zong Hongguang's scolding.
"Wait a minute! What are you doing?"
"I?
Watching a movie?
Don’t you know what the executive ordered?”
"How about I give this good position to you?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Yuanlong's plan was completely exposed. Zong Hongguang raised his hand and slapped him hard.
Now he finally understood why the occupancy rate in the cinema was 70% today.
It turns out that most of the people here were pretended by Hu Yuanlong’s employees!
"Boss, please stop fighting, there's nothing we can do if no one wants to come see us!"
"Originally, the ticket price you set during the Chinese New Year was only 120. We lowered the price twice in a row to 50 and still can't attract customers."
"I'm really at my wits end..."
Hu Yanlong knelt on the ground with a thud and began to cry. When Zong Hongguang saw this, he immediately showed contempt on his face.
"Stand up if you're a man! You're a worthless thing!"
Zong Hongguang snorted and turned around to leave. Then he checked a few more halls and found that the situation was basically similar.
He hurriedly called his men to check the situation in other branches, and the final results were almost identical.
"We won't be the only ones with bad business during the Chinese New Year, right?"
Zong Hongguang didn't believe in evil, so he first called Gan Wenshan to ask, but the other party kept doing misfortune in front of him.
He didn't know that Gan Wenshan had taken refuge with Chu Tianyao a long time ago and now he didn't care about the theater business at all.
With his last hope, Zong Hongguang called Zha Junzhe, but to his surprise, he got almost the same answer.
"Not just your family, the business situation of Victoria Cinema is also very bad these days."
"Our price cuts are more severe than yours. Now the ticket price has dropped to about 30 yuan, but obviously blindly cutting prices is not the answer."
After hearing this, Zong Hongguang felt a little desperate, and he continued to ask.
"Then boss Cha, do you know the situation of Jiahe Cinema?"
"To be honest, it was because I knew about the recent booming business situation of Jiahe Cinema that I felt that the problem was very serious."
Long before Zong Hongguang called, Zha Junzhe had found out about the problems in his own theaters.
He also investigated the recent business conditions of Jiahe Cinema for comparison purposes.
After the investigation results came out, he found that there was a huge difference between the two.
"how so?
Why is the business of our three stores so poor? How can they only have one store to accommodate so many customers?"
"I think there must be something wrong with this! Maybe they are up to something!"
Zong Hongguang's temper was still very hot, but Cha Junzhe seemed much calmer.
"What other reasons could there be? It seems that we were deeply harmed by the scandal that was exposed earlier!"
"To this day, these media are still reporting relevant news, and there are even reporters squatting near the Victoria Cinema."
After listening to Zha Junzhe's words, Zong Hongguang was completely desperate.
