In the conference room, the atmosphere instantly became subtle from the moment Kang Pei said those words.
Everyone is at the top of a circle. As the market gets bigger and bigger, the circle becomes more and more complicated. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and impulses, some things can be discussed first.
But negotiation is not such a negotiation method, and no one can take advantage of anyone else.
Put the film out and let China Film Group allocate the schedule?
Nonsense.
Not to mention China Film and Television, even Optoelectronics can’t do it!
Then the only explanation is that it is not for all companies, but for a certain one.
Tang An understood instantly. The words passed down by his ancestors flashed through his mind one by one when a new official took office.
There is no doubt that Hantang Media ranks first among private enterprises in terms of market share, and now it is the bird with the head sticking out the most and attracting the most attention.
Tang An shook his head secretly. He was thinking of himself as someone to establish his authority, just like when Li entered the film and television industry, he also wanted to sacrifice himself.
Just like when a certain county magistrate took office in ancient times, but the powerful families in the county were intertwined, in order to ensure their authority, they had to find ways to attack one of the more powerful ones to serve as a warning to the monkeys.
He was being treated like a chicken, and it made sense if he thought about it carefully. After all, Tang An had snatched the distribution rights of "Beautiful Heart" from China Film.
None of the people present were stupid, and they probably understood Kang Pei's intention, which was just to establish his authority, depending on who the target was.
Except for Ahli and Tengxun, several other companies have had more or less commercial conflicts with China Film, and they are all wondering whether the person who wants to establish their authority is themselves.
During the years when Tang An was at Huayi, Huayi basically dominated the two best schedules in the country. A large number of imported films were beaten by Tang An and Feng Xiaogang and swept into the garbage.
At that time, Huayi was in great glory, but there were a lot of frictions with China Film Group. The propaganda propaganda that the fighting was brutal may be an exaggeration, but it was definitely not peaceful.
Han Sanping didn't say anything. It was also his credit that domestic films came to the fore.
But now that domestic films have completely suppressed Hollywood blockbusters, there is no guarantee that the newly appointed leader will use himself to establish his authority, Wang Zhongjun thought to himself.
Yu Dongdao is not too worried. After all, he came from Beijing Film Studio. He is currently the general manager of China Film Marketing Branch and was his boss before. Han Sanping is his immediate boss and he is half of his own.
In the past few years, Guangxian has been following the path of focusing on small things and doing big things. He rarely shoots blockbusters. Wang Changtian is not worried about the first fire that will be burned on him.
However, Lay's' Zhang Zhaoke was not so calm. China Film Corporation bought out the distribution rights for "The Expendables 1" for US$500,000. For the second film, Lay's stepped in to compete and spent US$8 million to steal the distribution rights from China Film Group.
The original Leshi was only established for more than a year, and it dared to steal food from China Film and publish it on its own.
In fact, even if domestic film companies buy many batch of films, they still have to be handed over to China Film for distribution. Then the film company pays the publicity and distribution fee, and China Film takes 20% of the profit.
In other words, China Film Group can get 20% of the profit without even paying the promotion fee in advance, with zero risk.
The risk is all the responsibility of the film studio who bought the batch of films. Once the film is sold out, not only the copyright fees will be lost, but also the promotion and distribution fees will not be recovered.
Last year, Lay's "The Expendables 2" didn't want China Film to enjoy 20% of the profits without taking any risks, so they distributed it themselves and made a lot of money.
But state-owned enterprises are state-owned enterprises, and China Film has changed its plan, and China Film will invest in publicity and distribution costs.
American films start with 30 million RMB, and non-U.S. films start with 20 million RMB. For every 10 million more box office, the studio's share of the revenue will increase by one point.
However, there is also an upper limit on the revenue sharing ratio of film producers, that is, American films can get up to 25%, and non-American films can get up to 20%.
China Film Group saw that it couldn't go it alone. Today there was a big deal, and tomorrow Huayi and Guangxian would definitely want to take a share of it, so they took a step back and both parties shared the risk.
There was no other way. China Film Group provided steps, so Zhang Zhao had to get down, otherwise he would be ignorant.
State-owned enterprises are so overbearing. This third film, Lay's, participated in the investment and grabbed the copyright for 15 million US dollars, but it still had to be handed over to China Film for distribution, allowing the other party to share a large amount of profits.
Zhang Zhao was thinking that he rejected China Film's cooperation last year, released "The Expendables 2" by himself, and monopolized the profits. He couldn't get himself stabbed just because of this.
Although Zhang Zhao has been involved in the system, it was more than ten years ago.
And among the companies present, it seems that Leshi is a soft persimmon.
Everyone had different thoughts, the atmosphere was a bit subtle, and no one spoke.
As for Fan Luyuan and Ren Yuse, they just ignored it and ignored it. They even wanted to laugh a little, waiting to watch the fun.
No one spoke first. Kang Pei waited for the major companies to speak first, and Han Sanping just watched after he retired.
And Wang Zhongjun, who sat in front of Tang An in every more formal meeting, including those who spoke in front of Tang An, did not say a word.
Tang An's eyes moved slightly and looked towards Han Sanpingxian.
Han Sanping did not avoid Tang An's gaze, and there was nothing strange about him.
Tang An just waited.
In the end, Kang Pei couldn't help but speak first, and it was useless to remain silent like this.
He looked at Tang An, smiled slightly and said, "Dr. Tang, what you said in the previous meeting was shocking. Our movies must go out, but before going out, we must first ensure the stability of the domestic market.
, what do you say.”
After finding Tang An, the others, especially Wang Zhongjun and Zhang Zhao, breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter how much fire a new official makes when he takes office, as long as he doesn't burn himself, then go ahead.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, not caring about the frost on other people's tiles. This is a common human problem.
Zhang Zhao's upright body relaxed slightly, and his back rested on the back of the chair.
There was a hint of joy in Fan Luyuan's eyes behind his glasses. If the future head of China Film Co., Ltd. really wanted to deal with Hantang Media, that would be good news for Ah Li.
Major companies cooperate and compete with each other, and they are happy to see everyone succeed no matter who is unlucky.
Wang Zhongjun even took a sip of water to watch at leisure.
Under Kang Pei's gaze, Tang An smiled and nodded.
"Kang Bureau is right, we can't have a fire in our own backyard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Pei said immediately, "Dr. Tang is a sensible person who takes the overall situation into consideration."
Then he looked at everyone and said with a smile, "What do you mean?"
"Yes, Kang Ju is right."
"We can't fight among ourselves and waste our strength in vain."
"Yes, competing with each other will only harm our common interests."
Everyone nodded, looking deeply convinced.
Kang Pei smiled with satisfaction, "In this case, everyone has already arranged the Lunar New Year period, so it's not easy to disrupt everyone's plans. Next year's Spring Festival period is an important period. Let's work together and avoid conflicts. To achieve this
Maximize the benefits of the schedule.”
"Does Tang Dong's company have any movies to be released during the Spring Festival? I heard that "Detective Chinatown 2" is being filmed as soon as possible?"
"The Spring Festival movie currently confirmed is "Beijing Love Story", which will be released on February 13, the day before Valentine's Day."
After working on it for a long time, I originally wanted to start with the Spring Festival stalls!
Tang An shook his head secretly, but he was right. Han Sanping would retire in about two years, and that time would be when the ultra-high-investment production "Havoc in Heaven" was released.
China Film Group also participated in the investment and jointly distributed it with Xinghao, and the project cycle lasted four years. The money invested that year has depreciated in value.
Such a large-scale production is definitely China Film's most important project in the new year.
If the sequel to "Detective Chinatown 2", a billion-dollar blockbuster, fails at the box office, then Kangpei will have a bad start.
As for this film, was it a project when Han Sanping was in office?
Haha, everyone has retired, whoever is in office will take the blame.
Tang An was also glad that Han Sanping asked him to tell Kang Pei that it would be better to sell him and withdraw "Detective Chinatown 2".
Originally, Tang An wanted to put "The Return of the Great Sage" on the Spring Festival schedule, but this time it was better. Kang Pei proposed it himself.
Tang An immediately said, "When "囧囧" was released, I promised the audience that I would release a comedy film every Spring Festival to let the audience have a happy Spring Festival. "Detective Chinatown 2" is intensifying its filming, and it is also
I don’t know if I can catch up.”
Tang An's somewhat uncertain tone made Kang Pei very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Since time is so tight, don't ignore the quality of the movie just to rush for time. This is irresponsible to the movie and also to the audience."
Responsible."
"In my opinion, it can be placed on the summer and Lunar New Year schedules. With enough time, the crew can make a better movie."
"Besides, "Havoc in Heaven" invested by Xinghao will also be released during the Spring Festival. This will not please both of you, so there is no need."
"Moreover, the North American investors paid all 38 million U.S. dollars in special effects fees in exchange for overseas copyrights. Behind them are two major Hollywood companies, Universal and Sony. After spending so much money, they will definitely spare no effort to promote the film globally.
This Sino-foreign cooperation "Havoc in Heaven" will play a great role in promoting Chinese culture, not only in Southeast Asia, which is influenced by Chinese culture, but also in Europe and the United States. If the response is good, it will be an all-round flowering of our country's culture!
"
Kang Pei spoke with a serious face about the importance of this movie in promoting Chinese culture, so much so that Tang An almost blurted out a sentence that was later ruined by netizens.
Fortunately, there was no laughter. I suppressed it and listened to the leader's "teachings" seriously.
When I felt like laughing, I pinched my thigh with my hand under the table to stop my facial muscles from moving.
Really unable to hold it in any longer, Tang An smiled and said, "Yes, Kang Ju, you are right. It is what we should do to promote the spread of Chinese culture to the world. In this case, then I will make "Detective Chinatown 2"
How about taking it down and replacing it with "The Return of the Great Sage"."
"They are all about Journey to the West, and I also plan to release "The Return of the Great Sage" globally. It just happens to be two movies, and both will bloom."
