Chapter 760: Rebuilding the theater, the Whale incident
Zhang Xiao heard Su Changde's words and did not answer him immediately.
Instead, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. After weighing it in his mind, he said: "Director Su, how many more theaters do you think it would be appropriate for me to build?"
Su Changde stretched out a finger and said: "At least 10,000 screens need to be built to barely meet the needs of Guodian Catering."
"Ten thousand yuan?" Zhang Xiao slapped his thigh and said, "It's only ten thousand yuan. Hey, you didn't tell me earlier. I was shocked."
Seeing this, Su Changde suddenly felt that he had done something very stupid and said quickly: "I said at least 10,000 yuan."
"No problem!" Zhang Xiao said: "Ten thousand screens are only a few billion dollars. I asked Qingtian to start working on it immediately and try to complete it before the end of June."
"Ahem~~" Su Changde coughed twice and said: "Mr. Zhang, it would be better if you could add more."
"We believe that the development of China's entertainment industry is about to enter a fast lane. Now it seems that theaters will lose money, but if we wait a few years, we will definitely be able to make money."
"Let me tell you one more thing privately. The Department of Culture will no longer open theater chains without restrictions. Starting from this year, we will impose restrictions, unless the theater chains really cannot meet the needs of movie fans..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiao asked: "Director Su, how much can you approve for me?"
"The limit is 40%." Su Changde said: "There are now a total of 115,000 screens in the country, and you can build up to 45,000."
After Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, he said: "In that case, let's just have a stud."
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Su Changde stood up from his stool and exclaimed: "You want to build another 45,000 screens?"
Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "It's boring to fight in a small way. Since you have decided to do it, then just do it to the maximum."
When Su Changde heard this, he was very excited and said: "Great, if this is the case, I will immediately start the theater restriction process. 160,000 screens are enough to saturate the domestic film market, even after June next year.
Already."
"Mr. Zhang, on behalf of the Department of Culture and Domestic Films, I would like to thank you."
For a screen worth 160,000 yuan, Zhang Xiao himself occupies 60,000 yuan, and other domestic theater chains occupy 65,000 yuan. The theater chains controlled by Suo Li and foreign capital only occupy 35,000 yuan, accounting for only 35,000 yuan.
If the ratio does not exceed 20%, it will not hinder the overall situation.
"No need!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "As you said, this is completely a money-making business. Since it can make money and help domestic movies, why wouldn't I do it?"
Su Changde praised: "It would be great if all filmmakers in China could have such an awareness as you. Mr. Zhang, do you need to apply for a loan from a bank? Our Culture Department can make an exception and help you apply for the lowest interest loan."
"If that's the case, that would be great." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "After I go back, I will immediately ask Qingtian to prepare the application materials."
"Okay!" Su Changde nodded and said, "As soon as the materials arrive, I will review and approve them immediately."
The two then chatted about the issue of domestic movie studio A. Su Changde gained a lot from Zhang Xiao's unique insights into the domestic film industry.
Before leaving, Su Changde personally sent Zhang Xiao downstairs. He waited until the car's taillights were no longer visible, then turned around and went back.
"What's going on?"
"Xiao Shen is so awesome that he asked Director Su to see him off in person."
"Director Su lost face this afternoon. He probably thought of a way to deal with Suoli and the others."
"Forget it, the most we can do is delay their film review, what else can we do?"
"If there is no Xiao Shen, maybe we really don't have any good solution, but if there is Xiao Shen, that's not necessarily the case."
“···”
The staff of the Culture Department started talking after seeing the scene of Su Changde personally seeing off Zhang Xiao.
After Zhang Xiao came out of the Culture Department Headquarters, he did not go home immediately, but went to Qingtian.
"Brother-in-law, what a coincidence!" When he just parked the car and got out of the car, he met Reba.
Seeing what Reba was wearing, he must have just returned from attending an event, so Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "I have something to do with your sister. Have you not been filming recently?"
Reba said: "I will be filming again in one week. I guess I will spend the Spring Festival on the set and won't be able to eat the dumplings made by you, brother-in-law."
"That's really miserable!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile.
The two of them walked to the elevator while talking, and soon arrived at the door of Yang Mi's office.
Seeing that the door was open, Zhang Xiao and Reba walked in directly.
Seeing the two people coming in, Yang Mi asked in surprise: "When did you two get together?"
"We met in the underground parking lot." Zhang Xiao explained and asked: "What do you mean we are together? Can you, Mr. Yang of Qingtang Qingtian Company, be more polite in what you say?"
"Oh!~" Yang Mi said, "Put your affairs aside for now, Reba, are you having a problem with your endorsement?"
Reba nodded and said with a serious face: "The post posted by Huier Jewelry Company does mean to discriminate against us, and they refuse to repent."
However, after hearing this, before Yang Mi could speak, Zhang Xiao said without hesitation: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and terminate the contract with me. What the hell, Huier, what the hell are you giving him face?"
Bar?"
Yang Mi said: "Boss, it's not as simple as you said. To terminate the contract, you need to pay liquidated damages."
"Just give them how much you want." Zhang Xiao said very grandly: "And when you sign an endorsement contract in the future, you must be more famous. The other party cannot have any words or deeds that discriminate against our country and the Chinese people.
, otherwise we have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract."
"From now on, all artists of Qingtian Entertainment must note this clause in their contracts."
Hearing Zhang Xiao's domineering words, Yang Mi sighed and said: "Huier Jewelry Company is a big international brand. We finally got it after a fierce battle with many first-line actresses a year ago.
The contract is three years old and the liquidated damages are 20 million."
Reba spread his hands and said, "And I don't have that much money."
"From now on, the company will be responsible for all this kind of things. How can we not make 20 million? We can't tolerate their bad habits!" Zhang Xiao said straightforwardly: "Everything can be paid attention to, except for matters involving the national interests.
, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.”
"Mimi, hurry up and pay the money to terminate the contract. Don't worry, without the Huaguo market, the stock price will definitely plummet tomorrow."
"If I ask Clark to take action now, there will be no problem in earning one to two hundred million dollars from it."
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Yang Mi's eyes lit up and said: "That's great, let's do it. Reba, you can post on Weibo immediately."
Reba agreed, took out her cell phone from her bag, and posted a post on her Weibo.
She wrote: "Wheer's words and deeds are very disappointing. We are going through the contract termination procedures. The country of China will rise!"
Chapter completed!
