Perfect Life

The same scene, at the same time, appeared in the office of the chairman of the Oriental Media Group.

On the Huafei Film and Television side, Hu Fei turned off the TV halfway through the sight, but on the side of the Oriental Media Group, Zhou Yanghua looked solemn and patiently read the entire report.

Then he turned his head and looked behind him.

Zong Chengze, president of Oriental Media, two vice presidents, and Xiong Chengchao, general manager of Oriental Cinema Line, and a deputy general manager are all there.

Xiong Chengchao was about to speak, but someone grabbed it in front of him and spoke first.

It is Zong Chengze.

His expression was very calm, with a hint of self-blame in his calmness, and said, "This is my mistake! Yesterday afternoon, Chengchao and them asked me for advice. I mainly considered the company's previously established strategy, so Failing to pay enough attention to their suggestions and failing to respond in a timely manner..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yanghua had already waved his hand.

His face was light and cloudy.

"It's all right! It's normal."

Xiong Chengchao opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

It's just that there is an indescribable discomfort in my heart, and I can't help turning my head to look at Zong Chengze - the matter has been revealed like this?

At this moment, Zhou Yanghua sighed and said, "It seems that I can't hold back!"

After a pause, he said, "What a pity! What a pity! For this, I lost several bottles of good wine! Alas..."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xiong Chengchao, his smile was calm and confident, there was an indescribable affinity, and the unique temperament mixed with the inexplicable majesty of a long-standing superior.

"It's about making money, we don't have to take it hard! If you don't make money, that's a fool! Cheng Dynasty, then you should contact Minghu Culture, sign the agreement, and make more copies! They don't always I hope to increase the number of screenings, give them to them!"

Xiong Chengchao hesitated for a moment, but he could only say: "Before I came here, I had already called Xu Bing over there. Xu Bing said that it is important to come first, and they are dealing with them one by one."

After a pause, he explained: "After all, this film is going to be a big hit, everyone has seen it, and the major theaters must be eager to get more copies. However, we have already sent people over to watch, I sent Lao Liu, he has been on the line with Minghu Culture several times, and he is the most familiar in personnel."

Zhou Yanghua nodded at first, but after thinking about it, he said, "What is first come, first come? You call Lao Liu and ask him to make it clear, our Oriental Cinema is one of the biggest! And ours is one of the biggest! A large number of theaters are located in prosperous business districts, and it is the first choice for social elites and white-collar workers to watch movies! "Red Sorghum" is a literary film, and his main audience must be the social elite!"

After a pause, he waved his hand imposingly, "Let Lao Liu tell that over there! We must get the copy as soon as possible, and after we get it, you can arrange to adjust the arrangement as soon as possible! Sigh..."

At the end of the day, he still couldn't help sighing, and was obviously still disappointed that he failed to contain the rise of Minghu culture this time.

The chairman has said so, and what he said is not without reason. Many times in the past, the Oriental Cinema has used its unique and powerful cinema advantages to grab the limited copy delivery of those popular movies. Therefore, the cinema has Several people in the company, including Xiong Chengchao, nodded and turned to leave subconsciously.

I have to admit that Zhou Yanghua has been in the domestic film industry for nearly 20 years. In the entire Chinese film market, he is a giant Buddha. When placed in the Oriental Media Group, no one dares to disobey and question the absolute power of his orders. Guy and absolute core.

However, just as he was about to turn around, Xiong Chengchao's cell phone suddenly rang.

Xiong Chengchao originally planned to go out to answer the phone, but he took out his phone and glanced at it. He couldn't help but stop, looked up at Zhou Yanghua, and said, "It's Lao Liu."

Zhou Yanghua nodded and said, "Go ahead!" Then turned around and sat down in the sofa area.

Xiong Chengchao answered the phone, and his expression changed as soon as he heard the first sentence.

Then, he interrupted rudely and asked loudly, "What? The copy has been used up? What does it mean when the copy is used up?"

Next, he didn't know what Lao Liu on the other side of the phone said, and Xiong Chengchao looked stunned.

After a while, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the room, he endured the shock and ordered, "I see, you stay there first and don't come back, I'll report to the chairman!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, looked at Zhou Yanghua, and said in a tone of disbelief, "Lao Liu's phone said that the publishing department of Minghu Culture just informed him that they had prepared in advance for "Red Sorghum" Copies, have been used up? Say yes... Say it's temporarily unable to provide us with copies!"

The whole room was stunned.

The deputy general manager of a theater company said subconsciously: "Didn't Xu Bing, the manager of the distribution department of Minghu Culture, say in an interview just now that they were well prepared?"

Xiong Chengchao looked back at him, but soon turned his gaze back to Zhou Yanghua's face.

Zhou Yanghua was also a little stunned and a little surprised.

It is impossible to talk about panic. After so many years in the entertainment industry, he has long been used to seeing wind and rain.

At this time, he was not in a hurry to speak, but leaned back comfortably on the sofa, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, and then said: "Either that Xu Bing is bragging to reporters, or each The number of copies requested by the big theater company has exceeded the number of copies they have prepared, and even exceeded their maximum expectations for the film in advance. But no matter what kind..."

"He actually gave it to another family, not to our Oriental Cinema?"

This thing is really rare.

Everyone knows that although the Oriental Cinema Chain may not be the absolute number one in terms of absolute scale, but in terms of its ability to harvest the box office, it is the absolute number one in the Chinese film market!

As long as a movie wants to have a high box office, it will never refuse the Oriental Cinema Line to add films to them! Too many times, when a film suddenly becomes popular, and the copies are not enough, then each distribution company would rather give less copies to other theaters, and give priority to ensuring that the copies of the Oriental Cinema are full and sufficient. .

To put it bluntly, no one can live with money!

At this time, Xiong Chengchao's mind was still running fast, and he heard Zong Chengze suddenly say: "Mr. Zhou, do you think Minghu Culture has noticed that we have united other theater chains and are suppressing them. Movies, so now that movies are on fire, they want to turn it around... give us some color?"

Xiong Chengchao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at him.

Not only Xiong Chengchao, but others also looked at Zong Chengze - this statement is a bit surprising!

Even... it's almost a joke!

I’ve never heard of a movie theater party pressing and arranging films, making the film director and the film company’s producers kneel and toast, and I’ve never heard of a movie that got stuck in reverse and deliberately prevented you from the theater party. Showing!

When film companies produce movies, they want to rely on cinema chains to help them sell them. This is a natural upstream and downstream industry. How can the upstream dare to offend the downstream?

They don't want to make money anymore?

Think the box office is too high?

What nonsense!

However, Zhou Yanghua did not look surprised when he heard the words.

Raising his hand and pursing his hair, he looked at Xiong Chengchao with a stern expression on his face and asked, "Chengchao, Lao Liu said he didn't say, when will Minghu Culture plan to copy it?"

Xiong Chengchao hurriedly replied, "Old Liu said, Manager Xu Bing said that Minghu Culture has been in urgent contact, and the original copy will be sent this morning, and we will strive to produce all the urgently needed copies within three to five days. come out."

When Zhou Yanghua heard the words, his face finally changed for the first time.

The corners of his lips lifted slightly.

It was a sneer.

He raised his hand and pursed his hair again. He sighed and asked calmly, "Have you used all the spare copies you gave us earlier?"

Xiong Chengchao replied immediately, "It's all used! Our cinemas in various places are the cinemas with the best traffic and attendance. Of course, with the popularity of "Red Sorghum", everyone still gives priority to our movies. Therefore, cinemas in various places There's a lot of pressure there. I already ordered someone to call at 8:30, and I don't need to keep the spare copies that were originally given by various places. I use them all and arrange them."

Zhou Yanghua nodded.

After a while, he was a little confused.

Zong Chengze seemed to have seen through Zhou Yanghua's mind, so he lowered his head and didn't speak.

But Xiong Chengchao couldn't help but said: "Chairman, you should call Mr. Qi Jieqi over there in person! No matter what the reason is, if you call over there, there will always be a face for you. Say, at least two or three hundred copies can be given to us first, right?"

Just after saying this, before Zhou Yanghua could respond, Zong Chengze raised his head and waited for Xiong Chengchao with a displeased expression, "Nonsense! Old bear, you are confused! This is such a big deal, no matter if it is what Minghu Culture wants to do or not. Deliberately taking revenge on us is not worth the chairman calling them for such a trivial matter! If you give them face like this, they won't be able to go to heaven!"

When Xiong Chengchao heard the words, he immediately looked excited, and his face turned red, and he couldn't help choking him loudly, "Small thing? The current situation of "Red Sorghum" is that as long as you have a show, it can be guaranteed to be absolutely full! What is this? Do you know the concept? One copy can be put on seven shows a day, and there are more than 100 tickets on average for one show. The discount for one ticket is more than 20 yuan. Some of our theaters even sell tickets for 28 yuan! One show It's three or four thousand yuan, seven screenings is twenty-five or six, and one hundred copies a day is two and a half million!"

After a pause, he kept angrily, "Forget it today, with a discount, just sending copies from other places is a hassle, but let's just focus on a few large and medium-sized cities in the area of ​​Shuntianfu and Jinmenfu. There will be 21 cinemas and 133 screens! Plus tomorrow, I will definitely be able to find a way to deliver to cinemas everywhere. As long as Zhou always can get 100 copies with one call, it means that this weekend Our box office can increase by three or four million! If there are two hundred, that's seven to eight million!"

Having said that, he glared at Zong Chengze and asked with a sneer, "Mr. Zong, is this a small matter?"

"you……"

Zong Chengze was speechless.

A single phone call can be exchanged for seven or eight million operating income, no matter how rich Oriental Media is, it will not dare to take this seriously!

And... don't care how lively the domestic movie box office market is at first glance, and don't care how excited those movie companies are, but as the manager of the specific affairs of the Oriental Media Group, Zong Zehua is very clear in his heart, unless it is like last year. "Once Upon a Time", "The Gate of Life and Death", or like the current "Red Sorghum", during their release period, especially at the beginning of the release, the tickets sold are like being robbed! Otherwise, most of the time, the cinema is actually empty!

In the off-season, when it is not a blockbuster, most of the movies released can have an attendance rate of more than 30%, even if they are sold out! It is already possible to obtain a great inclination of the cinema line.

In the case of "Once Upon a Time", "The Gate of Life and Death" and "Red Sorghum", it is difficult to obtain a ticket, so as long as you show it, you can basically guarantee that the attendance rate will not be lower than 60% of the film, and it will not happen in a year. The last few!

Seeing Zong Chengze's speechless appearance, Xiong Chengchao felt that he was choking on the other party, and he couldn't help but want to continue talking, but this time, before he could speak, Zhou Yanghua waved his hand and said, "Okay. Stop arguing!" After speaking, he let out a long sigh and said, "What Cheng Chao said makes sense! Make money! It doesn't matter if you bow your head or not, I'll make this call!"

Zong Chengze looked like he couldn't bear the fate of a hero, "Mr. Zhou, you are..."

Zhou Yanghua waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything, then took out his mobile phone and began to look up the number.

Zong Chengze sighed with a humiliated expression.

The call is connected.

Zhou Yanghua said calmly: "I'm Zhou Yanghua from Oriental Media, and I'm looking for you, Mr. Qi Jie."

On the other end of the phone was a nice female voice, "Hello, Chairman Zhou, I'm Qi Jie."

A smile appeared on Zhou Yanghua's face, "Mr. Qi is doing well!"

Qi Jie on the other end of the phone said, "Chairman Zhou called, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Yanghua laughed and said, "That's right, I heard the report below. It is said that Brother Li Qian's "Red Sorghum" has a very high attendance rate! It's a rare surprise for a literary film to sell tickets so well! Ah! Congratulations, and please help me with a sentence, congratulations to Li Qian, brother!"

On the other end of the phone, Qi Jie seemed to chuckle lightly, but her voice was as calm as ever, "Thank you, Chairman Zhou! There is joy, but there is no surprise. From the very beginning, our company believed that "Red Sorghum" must be great. selling!"

Zhou Yanghua choked on hearing this, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

However, she quickly adjusted and said with a smile, "That's right! That's right! Brother Li Qian's film, it's really hard to sell it if you don't think about it! Haha!"

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Qi Jie said, "I've said it politely, Chairman Zhou has something to say!"

Zhou Yanghua's face stiffened again.

This woman from Minghu Culture seems to have had a bad time with herself since she met her!

But at this time, I didn't care about it for the time being. Since the other party asked, Zhou Yanghua said: "That's it, we sent the person to contact your distribution department to report that you have used up all the films you have prepared in advance. They were all robbed by other theaters?"

Qi Jie's voice did not contain the slightest emotional ups and downs, and she still said calmly and stylized: "Yes! But we have already contacted the printing company urgently, and the production of new copies will start soon, and it is estimated that three to five God, you can line up to your Oriental Cinema. I'm really sorry for that."

Zhou Yanghua frowned upon hearing this.

"Can't we coordinate and give us some copies of the Oriental Cinema? Even if there are two or three hundred copies! Mr. Qi, you know, most of our cinemas are built where the traffic is the largest, and they are also the most attractive to social elites. It belongs to the class, so it should be said that our screen is..."

"We have no shortage of attendance!"

Before Zhou Yanghua could finish his words, Qi Jie had already hurled this sentence over coldly, holding back all of Zhou Yanghua's follow-up words at once.

We have no shortage of attendance!

Not to mention the long-lost unpleasant feeling of being interrupted, just such a sentence is enough to make Zhou Yanghua stunned there!

In this world, are there any movies that do not lack attendance?

Zhou Yanghua opened his mouth slightly in amazement, but for several seconds, he couldn't come back to his senses.

This is also... too arrogant, isn't it?

After a pause, Zhou Yanghua finally came back to his senses, his eyes narrowed, and his voice turned cold, "What do you mean by Mr. Qi? Did you say..."

"I did not mean it!"

He was interrupted again by someone.

At this moment, Zhou Yanghua only felt that his whole body was hot, and the anger that could be suppressed just now in the depths of his heart suddenly rushed up!

Okay, I want to press you, you can see it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When I found out that the movie was popular, I wanted to press me back, it doesn't matter, I have never encountered any dire situations along the way!

Isn't it just lowering your figure? Although I haven't used it for many years, I'm very familiar with it, so I'm not ashamed!

But...you always interrupt Lao Tzu when you step on the horse, do you understand?

"That you……"

"Chairman Zhou!"

Interrupted again!

This time I just said three words!

Paralyzed, no one dared to interrupt me for so many years!

"To be honest with you, we have prepared 3,300 copies for the movie "Red Sorghum" in advance, but last night, many theater operators took the initiative to contact us, requesting additional screening agreements and additional copies, and the copies they wanted We are afraid that the copies will be idle there and not enough for us, so we try to press down as much as possible, but every theater chain promises us that the occupancy rate of the two-day weekend will never be lower than 90%! That kind of In this case, of course, we can't hold back a copy!"

"So, in fact, before nine o'clock this morning, all of our 3,300 copies have been signed out! And your people came to our company at nine thirteen!"

Zhou Yanghua was speechless.

…………

Thirty seconds later, the other side took the initiative to hang up the phone!

Hearing the busy tone in the microphone, Zhou Yanghua moved the phone away from his ear in a daze.

"Chairman..."

Xiong Chengchao just said three words, and Zhou Yanghua suddenly got up!

With a bang, the phone flew out!

Snapped!

Whoa!

Parts are broken!

As soon as the fifteenth seat was seated, he was kicked down before his **** was warm!

Looking at you pitifully - give me a monthly pass?
