Chapter 492: Make it whole

In the industry, representatives of theater chains are active and privately make various promises to several film and television companies in order to bring down the production alliance.

The news and gossip leaked from the entertainment industry are so confusing that it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false.

First, Li Ming, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, announced his divorce. This news dominated the hot searches and no one could stop it.

Later, actress Ni Ni was involved and a nude photo scandal occurred.

Next came the mainland young actress Huang Shengyi. Perhaps she was almost unable to continue in the circle because of Yang Zi’s betrayal, so she directly revealed that she knelt down to become Zhao Bensan’s apprentice.

Old Zhao didn't hesitate and directly accepted the female apprentice.

For this bow, Huang Shengyi was directly ridiculed by the entertainment industry, and many people in the sketch comedy industry also opposed it.

This is interesting. You in the sketch comedy world are trying so hard to enter the film and television industry, so why can't you let actors perform sketches?

However, in addition to the frequent big scandals in the entertainment industry this year, there were also many divorces.

First, Che Xiao, who married the richest man, got divorced, and then Nie Yuan and Yang Guang also divorced. That was the woman who played Zhao Yun in Shuiyue Dongtian, who was also the white moonlight of a generation.

Soon after, it was revealed that Wang Xuebing and Huang Haibin had also divorced.

If these news are just small gossips, then Old Pan, who was called a golden couple when they got married, but is now called an alcoholic, drug-addicted and domestic violence man when he divorced, is purely suffering from an unprovoked disaster.

"The entertainment industry can change its name today. Why not just call it the Year of Divorce?" Netizens complained crazily.

However, what happened to Lao Pan was just the beginning, and the follow-up is still fermenting.

.........

China Film Group.

At this moment, Han Sanping was no longer as high-spirited as before. The external movements gave him a bad feeling.

Even so, Han Sanping still invited Gu Wei to discuss the investment in "Chinese Partners".

In the chairman's office.

Since Gu Wei arrived early, the assistant told him that Director Han had a meeting that had not yet ended, so Director Gu could sit and wait for a while. After that, the assistant made tea, brought fruit, and started to greet people.

Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. While eating and drinking, Gu Wei picked up his mobile phone and browsed the latest entertainment news and gossip.

"hehe."

"Haha."

About ten minutes later, when Han Sanping walked into the office, he heard Gu Wei's laughter.

It is said that happiness is contagious. Han Sanping, who was originally a little tired, felt much better after hearing Gu Wei's laughter.

"What are you looking at? I can hear your laughter from a long way off."

Sitting down opposite Gu Wei, Han Sanping got himself a cup of tea and drank it while joking.

"Oh, are you done with your work? I'm just bored and reading some gossip in the circle. It's really interesting."

Han Sanping was speechless after hearing this, and said angrily, "You are a big director, why do you care about this all day long instead of making movies!"

“I can’t say I’m concerned, but we have to keep up with the times and learn some gossip. If something happens to an actor during filming, it’ll have a huge impact,” Gu Wei said cheerfully.

"They complain about nothing every day, and they make a big fuss about trivial things. I think we need to clean up the mess..."

Well, Han Sanping has started to fire off some random comments again. After a few complaints, he cursed a few cinema chains. The depressed mood I had been feeling for the past two days has been relieved a lot.

Gu Wei didn't say anything, just sat opposite and looked at Comrade Lao Han, even feeling like laughing.

It turns out that two days ago, 28 cinema chains including China Film Star Media, China Film Southern Shinkansen, Poly, Liaobeifang, and Hengdian signed new distribution and screening contracts.

Hundreds of other cinemas bypassed their own theater chains and contacted distributors, expressing their willingness to accept the new profit-sharing ratio.

The notice clearly states that these cinema chains and theaters have a market share of more than 70%, and the trend is set!
Subsequently, the Film Special Fund Office also issued a notice.

This year, all cinema chains that have domestic film box office revenue accounting for more than 45% are eligible to receive back the special film funds submitted by the cinema chain this year as subsidies, starting from at least 80%.

I have to say that this two-pronged approach of getting theaters to take a step back and accept the distributor's increased profit-sharing requirements is indeed a good one.

Just when everyone thought that the publisher had really won this time.

Yindu Entertainment Group directly announced on its official website: As a producer, we understand the difficulties faced by theater chains. "The Grandmaster" is willing to maintain the 43%:57% ratio. From now on, we will no longer respond to calls to increase the distribution ratio.

Subsequently, a 27-cinema alliance led by Wanda responded quickly: "The cinemas will give priority and guarantee to the screening schedule of The Grandmaster to achieve a win-win cooperation.

In addition, Wanda and 27 other cinema chains and their affiliated theaters will not host any activities of "", "The Banquet" and "Lost in Thailand" from now on. "The withdrawal of Yindu Organization is just a small matter. Don't be fooled by its high-profile statements. In fact, all major film and television companies in the circle don't take it seriously.

After that, Han Sanping was betrayed by his subordinates!
The person in charge of Southern Shinkansen, a subsidiary of China Film Group, directly rebuked Han Sanping in front of the media for negotiating an agreement with the cinema chain without convening a board meeting and arbitrarily deciding to give 2% of the profits of Shinkansen to the five major distribution companies.

To be honest, this is also because the state-owned film and television group is relatively large, but there is also competition between its subsidiaries.

For example, China Film Distribution Corporation and its cinema chains are openly confronting each other this time.

Han Sanping naturally stood on the side of China Film Distribution Company, so China Film's theater chains collectively rebelled.

After this incident, one can imagine how much pressure Han Sanping was under.

“This matter is not over yet. When I have time, I will take care of them one by one.

Fortunately, several large companies have not given up, so there is still room for maneuver. "The more he thought about it, the angrier Han Sanping became, and he spoke with gritted teeth.

"By the way, what about the investment in Ning Hao's movie?"

"Mr. Han, what are you doing?" Gu Wei was a little slow to react to Han Sanping's sudden change in tone.

"Hey, no matter how big the matter is, it can't delay the filming." Han Sanping waved his hand and continued, "I heard that Ning Hao invited a lot of big names this time. The cost is 70 million. After deducting the actors' salaries, is there enough left?"

Seeing that Han Sanping had said so much, Gu Wei slowly asked, "What do you mean?"

"Let's add it to 100 million. China Film will contribute 30 million to make it the round number." Seeing Gu Wei pouting, Han Sanping didn't feel embarrassed at all. His main point was that he was thick-skinned.

Some time ago, because of the overlapping release schedules of imported blockbusters, Hollywood lodged complaints with the department above the State Administration of Film.

Han Sanping was naturally called over and scolded, but what was the result?

Lao Han still does his own thing, and even has a feeling that the more you resist, the more excited I become.

"Just add it. Ning Hao has always said that he wanted to make a high-budget movie. Now his wish has been fulfilled." Gu Wei was too tired to complain, but seeing that Old Han still had two years left in his term, he would do his best to meet the other party's requirements!
"Don't act like you're feeling aggrieved. I'm not taking this share for nothing. When the movie is finished, if you want to participate in a film festival, I'll arrange it." Han Sanping said confidently.

After talking about the movie, the two started chatting about the box office of mainland movies.

"They are all losers who can't afford it. When Avatar was released, the number of screens was around 7,000, but it still raked in over 1 billion yuan in box office revenue. Now the number of screens has more than doubled, but it still can't compete with imported films. I have to bear the brunt of this from both sides."

"Take those directors, they keep talking about Hollywood, advocating a ratings system, yearning for Hollywood, and reporting and complaining all day long. It's just outrageous."

"And these cinema chains are all bad birds. They rely on the number of screens to bully others."

Han Sanping continued to complain, and there was nothing he liked.

"Old Han, don't be anxious. After this craze is over, our directors and actors will find that their own domestic movies can also have box office of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Who would want to go to Hollywood to suffer this?" Gu Wei said lightly.

Han Sanping felt it was incredible. "I can understand tens of billions, but how can tens of billions be possible?"

"Nothing is impossible." Sometimes Gu Wei really felt sorry for Han Sanping. He had worked hard as the chairman of China Film Group Corporation over the years, but he retired just when the mainland film market was booming!

After talking about business, Han Sanping mentioned his precious daughter, "I see your company has a lot of movies this year, so I'll arrange a position for her. You also know how important the director's resume is in the industry."

Speaking of the daughter of the Han family, Old Han becomes the image of an old father who worries all his heart out. He has only one daughter, and he cannot hit or scold her. He arranged for her to study directing. However, she also said that she likes the screenwriting industry and spends her time writing scripts when she has nothing to do all day.

"Or, let her join Xingchen Film and Television Company and be the deputy director." Gu Wei said after thinking about it.

"Does it fit?"

"What's inappropriate about that? She still owns 5% of the shares in the animation film company. She is still a member of the company."

The two of them decided the matter after a few words. As for letting Han Jianu be an assistant director in that movie, that required careful consideration.

After thinking about it, I decided to go directly to Xue Xiaolu's "Love in Seattle". "Partners" is a bit inappropriate. With Ning Hao's temper when making movies, sometimes he offends people without knowing why.

.........

The two Tai Chi series movies failed to make any splash in the box office market, and the reputation of Huayi Company also declined significantly.

Fish in the Clouds: "It is a rare talent to be able to create such a script by adding machinery to a kung fu film. Huayi has found a treasure."

Shen Yifei: "Let Liang Jiahui, Peng Yuyan, Wu Yan team up, Feng Shaofeng as the supporting role, but come to support a person named Yuan and Yang Ying?"

Ragnarok: "Those with the surname Yuan who know Kung Fu know it, and as for Yang Ying, everyone knows what's going on."

The promotion of several movies has reached a fever pitch.

"Lost in Thailand" is a comedy, while "1942" is known as an epic.

Lu Chuan's "The Banquet" is also not willing to lag behind, indicating that a great work will soon meet the audience.
