Chapter 961 Quarrel
At three o'clock, Liang Qianqiu and Xiao Yuanyang walked in.
Seeing that everyone stood up to welcome, Liang Qianqiu waved his hand and smiled: "Everyone is welcome, please sit down."
After everyone sat down again, Liang Qianqiu said: "Misters, this morning, representatives of various governments in charge of the entertainment industry came to us, and they are very concerned about the recent dispute between producers and theaters. However, the chief did not give They gave a clear answer, only talking about the matter of Huaxia, which will be resolved by Huaxia itself. Now it has been a month, and everyone is fighting to lose both. I invited everyone to come over with Deputy Minister Xiao, just want to chat, what should I do next?"
Li Rongguang said first: "Minister Liang and Deputy Minister Xiao, the competition in the current film industry is too fierce, and the attendance rate is more than 50% lower than before. Take our Huafeng International Cinema as an example. To outsiders, it might seem like a big business, earning gold every day, but in fact, the money earned is basically used for the wages of employees and the maintenance of the theater. If the box office in the first week is reduced by 12%, There's a good chance we're going to make ends meet."
Chu Heng, who has always been at odds with Li Rongguang, snorted and said with a sneer, "Mr. Li doesn't need to cry poor here. We are very clear about the situation of the cinema. Last year, you Huafeng International Cinemas only handed over the country's profits. It has reached 13 billion Chinese dollars, and the annual income of our Brilliant Film Company cannot keep up with a quarter of your studio tax. If you are all poor, then we people should really beg for food. "
Li Rongguang was blocked by Chu Heng and couldn't say a word, his face was extremely ugly. The facts are in front of you, the government announces the tax situation to the public every year, and it is really impossible to argue.
Chu Heng continued to beat the underdog and said, "Mr. Li, the annual turnover of your Huafeng International Cinema is basically over 100 billion yuan. As long as the theater does not undergo major renovations, the expenditure will definitely not exceed 5 billion yuan. Excuse me, how much is that much? Where did the money go."
"Mr. Li, on behalf of all the film companies in China, I beg you. Since you have eaten meat, give us a sip of soup. Otherwise, we really can't go on."
Shen Le said next to him: "All our film companies in China have already made up their minds. If we don't change the box office quota, we will not invest in making movies in the future. The big deal, we have been making TV series. Although the profits are not big,
But the risk is small, at least you can still eat. "
At the beginning of the meeting, Huaxia's film company drew down the bottom line, and it was quite a posture that they would overturn the table if they couldn't agree.
Wang Lu from Baihua Cinema angrily said, "President Shen, President Chu, are you threatening us with not making movies?"
Zhang Huafeng, who had a holiday with Wang Lu, sneered: "Mr. Wang is serious. We just want to survive. If we continue like this, our film company will starve to death sooner or later. It is better to change the way, maybe it is possible to survive. After all, good Is it better to die than live?"
The film company has clearly formulated a strategy before, no matter which theater boss speaks, everyone will send someone who has a bad relationship with him. Anyway, it is impossible to cooperate in the future, so naturally I don't care about offending or not.
Wang Lu snorted and said, "I'm afraid the government won't agree with you doing this?"
Zhang Huafeng said: "We have no money, so the government can't force us to make movies."
Ren Jiwen of Xingguang Cinema said: "I think the issue of quota, the theater chain can not be reduced."
Li Rongguang and Wang Lu looked at him at the same time, and said in unison, "President Ren, how can you do this?"
Ren Jiwen said: "Mr. Li and President Wang, when things have reached this point, if you continue to push hard, it will no longer make any sense. It can only be a lose-lose situation, and it will have a very unfavorable impact on the development of the Chinese film industry. For public and private, It's all detrimental. However, the drop in the quota is so great that I think 50:50 in the first week is reasonable."
"No." Zhao Mingsheng looked at Ren Jiwen and said, "Either give us a quota of 55%, or we will stop making movies and focus on TV dramas. There is no third option. This is the unanimous decision of our film company. decision."
"Mr. Zhao, we have already dropped from fifty-seven percent to fifty percent. You still don't agree. This is a bit too much." Ren Jiwen frowned and said.
Zhao Mingsheng is Xiao Yunhai's father-in-law, and the Xiao family is in-law, with a special status. Even if Ren Jiwen is angry, he still speaks very well.
Zhao Mingsheng said: "Mr. Zhao, I'm not targeting you. In fact, whether the box office share system is changed will not affect me much. If it is changed, it will even be very unfavorable to me. Because my son-in-law is New Huaxia. The shareholders of the theater chain and the North American theater chain, after the quota was changed to 55%, he suffered far more losses than I gained. But I still did this because I was in the game, and I am not interested in the current situation. The harm of the movie quota system is very clear. Let alone 43%, even if it is 50%, it will take a few years and things will still happen now, so it is better to do it in one step. Yunhai, you don't want to. Blame me, I am also for Huaxia Movies."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Dad, I understand."
The two sides had another half-hour-long quarrel over the question of how much the movie quota should be.
Finally, Liang Qianqiu knocked on the table and said: "Mr. Xiao, President Yu, President Hu, your New Huaxia Cinema is the largest cinema chain in the country, with more than 18,000 screens. I don't know what you think?"
Everyone looked at the three of them.
Yu Hai sighed and said, "Forget it, I decided to accept the new box office quota system. President Hu and President Xiao, what do you two think?"
Hu Yaoting smiled bitterly: "I support your decision."
Xiao Yunhai spread his hands and said, "I've never been involved in the theater chain, so what do you say, then what to do."
"No." Li Rongguang next to him patted the table and said angrily, "Three, do you know what it means to do this?"
Yu Hai nodded and said, "Of course we do. President Hu and I are not only shareholders of New Huaxia Cinemas, but also shareholders of Yanhuang Cinemas. Once the box office drops to 45% in the first week, there will be hundreds of dollars every year. billions of losses.”
Wang Lu said: "Since you know, why do you agree?"
Yu Haidao: "If you don't agree, what can you do? Our New Huaxia Cinema will soon face a situation where there are no more films to put on it. At that time, the daily expenses will be a huge astronomical figure. Who will pay us this amount? money."
Li Rongguang said: "But you can't destroy everyone's interests because of this."
Yu Hai said expressionlessly: "Mr. Li, among the four theaters, only your Huafeng International has sufficient film sources. I don't know very well about President Wang, and President Ren has already started to add money to it. What should we do? I said at the time that if the matter has not been resolved after a month, then our New Huaxia Cinema can only compromise."
Yu Hai's words have already shown his attitude, which makes the opposite film company boss overjoyed.
