Chapter 761 : Film Scheduling Standards
As a result, many netizens started leaving messages in the comment area of Reba’s Weibo.
"Reba, good job, you have backbone."
"This is the backbone of Chinese artists!"
"Tell Huier Jewelry to get out and give them face day by day, right?"
"He is trying to make money in China, but he also wants to ruin China's fortunes. Huier is really not a good person."
“I strongly support Reba and will never buy any Huier products again.”
"In the face of big right and wrong, the artists of Qingtian Company are different. They will never bow their heads for money."
"In addition to Reba, I remember that there are also flash stars who are also its endorsers. Brothers, what are you waiting for?"
"Let's go~"
“···”
As a result, huge pressure fell directly on the other three female stars.
It's amazing that two of these three female stars are Sakura artists, one is named Wu Juan and the other is named Shen Yan, and Sakura Company will not care about these things.
If you want to terminate the contract, you can pay the liquidated damages yourself. This has nothing to do with the company. This will directly put the artist on the fire.
After all, it is unrealistic for ordinary artists to pay so much liquidated damages at once, but once they terminate the contract without taking liquidated damages, it will be very fatal for them to face the abuse from netizens.
.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Qingtian Company.
After Reba left, Zhang Xiao briefly explained the contents of the meeting at the Department of Culture.
"What? Forty-five thousand screens?" After listening to Zhang Xiao's words, Yang Mi stood up directly and exclaimed: "Husband, are you okay?"
Zhang Xiao shook his head and explained: "Of course I'm fine. Don't make such a fuss. There are very good reasons why I made this decision."
"First of all, I am very optimistic about the development of the domestic entertainment industry. Once our new theaters are launched, they will be 100% profitable. Secondly, I do not want the domestic film industry to be controlled by overseas capital."
"Otherwise, if our domestic films want to develop, it will be just a fool's errand."
"There is also a third point. Money is something you don't bring with you until you die. I have so much wealth now, why don't I do something more meaningful?"
Yang Mi frowned and asked: "But the problem is, these 45,000 screens now require at least 15 billion US dollars. Do you have that much liquidity?"
Regarding this question, Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Su Changde said that the Department of Culture can get the lowest loan for me. I am prepared to personally spend five billion U.S. dollars and borrow another ten billion U.S. dollars."
Seeing what Zhang Xiao said, Yang Mi didn't say anything else. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll let Qingtian Company start preparations. However, I still think it's a bit too scary."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Isn't it just money? This little money won't make me lose all my money. Even if I lose, it doesn't matter. For me, I can't afford to lose."
Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him angrily, picked up the phone, and called Chen Ya.
"What?"
"Forty-five thousand screens?"
"Mimi, are you two crazy?"
"Okay, I'll go to your office right away."
“···”
Hearing Chen Ya's exclamation on the phone, Zhang Xiao stood up and said, "You and Sister Ya can discuss it. I'm going home to cook."
Yang Mi said: "I want to eat twice-cooked pork and drink a glass of red wine to calm down the shock."
Zhang Xiao made an OK gesture and said: "Okay, no problem."
···
Three days later, after intense discussions between the film producers and theaters, clear film scheduling standards were finally determined.
It is similar to the standards currently implemented by Qingtian Cinema Line, which are determined by box office and attendance. This can not only ensure the interests of investors, but also take into account the interests of the theater chain.
After the standards for film arrangement were determined, Su Changde once again summoned the CEOs of major theater chains to the Culture Department, including Zhang Xiao and Xiao Lishan.
After everyone had finished watching the movie scheduling standards, Su Changde turned his attention to Xiao Lishan and said: "Mr. Xiao, this is a feasible plan that combines the interests of the film production company and the cinema chain.
What do you think of relatively high standards?"
Xiao Lishan smiled and said: "Very good."
Su Changde asked again: "Then will your Suoli Cinema Line implement this?"
"No!" Xiao Lishan said without hesitation: "No matter how reasonable this film arrangement standard is, we will not implement it because we want only."
With Xiao Lishan taking the lead, representatives from the other five theater chains followed suit and supported his decision.
Su Changde did not feel any surprise about this and said: "Okay, apart from Suoli and the other five theater chains, which theater chain has any objections?"
The CEO of Longda Cinema seems to have received support from the superiors: "On behalf of Longda Cinema, I assure Director Su and everyone that our Longda Cinema will definitely implement this standard."
"What we did before was indeed a bit too narrow-minded, and we ask for your forgiveness."
Seeing that Longda, the largest private theater chain in the country, has agreed, other theater chains have also expressed that they will abide by this film scheduling rule.
Seeing this, Su Changde smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, Qingtian Cinema Line shouldn't object, right?"
"Of course I won't object." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "This standard is already quite loose for our theater chain. Our Qingtian approach has always been much stricter than this."
"By the way, bosses of the theater chain, I learned about Qingtian Cinema Chain after I went back. As of yesterday, our Qingtian Cinema Chain's total profit was 3.8 billion, with an average net profit of 3.2 billion per theater chain.
Although I don’t understand more than 100,000, it is better in the long run.”
"So, even if there is no such standard, we will implement it in accordance with this plan on sunny days."
After hearing what Zhang Xiao said, the heads of the major theater chains all started talking about it.
"If I go, in half a year, the profit of each theater chain will reach 3.2 million, which is amazing!"
"I have 2,000 theaters. If I can do this, wouldn't I be able to earn more than 100 million every year?"
"Mr. Zhang is not lying to us, is he?"
"This kind of income seems to be much higher than that of Longda!"
“···”
Zhuofu, CEO of Longda Cinema Line, said: "Mr. Zhang, is this number accurate?"
For a whole year, the total profit of Longda Cinema was only over 4 billion. In comparison, the gap is too big!
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuo, you can make up for other things, but the tax form cannot be faked. If you don't believe it, I can ask Qingtian's finance department to send the tax form to you."
One point.”
Hearing this, Zhuofu quickly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "No, I believe you. Alas, we Longda really deserve to be villains in vain."
Su Changde chuckled and said: "Mr. Zhuo, it's still too late to make changes. Since everyone has no objections, let's start signing the contract."
Chapter completed!
