Xu Jie stared at the wine glass in front of him, feeling extremely depressed. Did he want to be like the producer and kneel to the theater?

no!

Behind him is the Beijing Radio and Television Station. Doing this not only damages his own image, but also damages the image of the TV station.

What would the leaders in Taiwan think?

What will your subordinates think?

What should he do if there are villains behind his back who say that he is smearing Taiwan? If not done well, it will become a stain on his career.

It's okay to treat guests to a meal, it's okay to sing and take a bath, but it's really impossible to ask him to kneel down.

Xu Jie glanced at the four theater chain executives sitting across from him, and it seemed that he could only use that move.

"Bosses, if we can improve the schedule of the movie "Lovers of Time and Space", I promise to give you a 5% rebate," Xu Jie said seriously.

oh?

When Li Kangyong and others heard this, their slightly drunken eyes immediately lit up.

There is an old saying: All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.

Everyone is a businessman, and businessmen are the most profit-oriented and profitable. Who is not interested?

Nowadays, the box office of a movie can easily reach hundreds of millions. A five percent rebate is not a small amount. For ordinary movies, a three percent rebate is already a lot.

Five percent...

Mr. Xu is awesome!

The four theater general managers looked at each other. Although they did not speak, they were communicating with each other with their eyes.

This kind of thing, you can know each other's meaning with just one look.

Xu Jie stared at these people intently, trying to find the answer on their faces.

Having difficulty improving film arrangement?

Then give more benefits and tie each other together. In order to get more benefits, these people will take the initiative to increase the number of games without him having to say anything.

Zhang Di on the side was already so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

In order to improve film arrangement, it is normal to add rebates to theaters, but the five percent rebate for film arrangement has exceeded the industry average.

The result is that if the box office is high, Mr. Xu will earn less than before; if the box office is low, Mr. Xu will lose more than before.

He also guessed that Mr. Xu would increase the rebate points, but he did not expect that he would give out so many rebates. He had to say that he was really a ruthless person.

Xu Jie also knew that the rebates he gave were very high, but if they were not high, how could these people arrange more films for him?

He just wants to use high rebates to knock the other party unconscious at once, plus a little bit of alcohol, so he is not afraid that these four people will not agree. At the same time, he also believes that such high rebates cannot be given by other movies. As for the reason...

....

Very simple.

He didn't make this movie to make money, even if the rebates were given to theaters, as long as he could win over Adrian Zenz, it would be worth it.

Moreover, he can represent both the producer and the producer, and has absolute right to speak. He does not need to listen to anyone's orders or look at anyone's face. He can do whatever he wants without having to worry about uneven distribution among multiple parties.

"Everyone..." Xu Jie continued: "I know that you don't have confidence in my movie. I can understand this, but a movie is a movie, and the attendance rate is the attendance rate. A good movie does not necessarily have a high attendance rate. My

The movie doesn’t necessarily have a bad attendance rate. In fact, there are still many interesting points in this movie, except for me and

In addition to Su Yun's status as husband and wife, Liu Qing also bid farewell to her previous silly and sweet image in the movie this time, playing a sinister and ruthless character, while actress Liu Jiaman made her first cameo appearance after six years away from the film industry.

, also adds a lot of highlights to this movie, and I believe it will definitely attract many fans..."

Li Kangyong and others couldn't help but nodded. Although they hadn't seen the movie yet, they just learned about it through the news before coming back, but now that Mr. Xu said it, the movie did have a lot to watch.

For their theater chains and movie theaters, the quality of the movie has nothing to do with them. High attendance is the most important. And high attendance is not necessarily because of the quality of the movie, but may also be due to the attraction of the movie.

This attraction includes many things, such as celebrity scandals, controversies, etc., which will bring attention to the film, thereby indirectly increasing the number of viewers and increasing the attendance rate. This is why many celebrities usually have little news, but when they have new works

Appearing, either by breaking the news and acting like a big name, or by being criticized for poor acting skills, or by falling in love with a certain actor over a drama, etc. In fact, these are all means of hype.

We are not afraid of actors being controversial, but we are afraid that actors are not paying attention to them. No matter how good their acting skills are, the box office of an actor who is not paying attention will end in a dismal ending.

Just like Mr. Xu said just now, it is the first time for the other party to star in a movie, and she and Su Yun are a husband-and-wife team, so they are still very popular in the movie market. The change of Liu Qing's role can also attract a group of fans. Liu Jiaman's

Although there are only a few guest scenes, fans are looking forward to it.

In fact, with such a lineup and topicality, if it is placed in the winter and summer time slots, it will definitely get a good film schedule. However, the problem is that the competition in the National Day time slot is too fierce, and the film's producer does not have the support of the theater company, so it will not get hundreds of films.

A three-thirds film scheduling rate is already very good. Zheng Guoliang has been famous for so many years, and the film has the blessing of popular stars. In theaters other than the producer, isn't there only about three percent of the film scheduling?

Xu Jie looked at the four theater bosses and continued: "There is also news about the movie, that is, our Beijing TV Culture has decided to shoot a spin-off TV series based on this movie, with Liu Qing and Liu Jiaman as the heroines.

…”

"What?"

This time, before Xu Jie could finish speaking, Li Kangyong, Wang Dekun, Liu Ye and Zhao Youzhong showed surprised expressions.

Liu Qing has been following the path of a movie star these years, and she is already looking forward to her return to the TV screen. What’s more, she didn’t expect that even actress Liu Jiaman would also film a TV series. This news is really exciting.

.

"Mr. Xu, you said Liu Jiaman will be the heroine of the TV series. Are you talking to her, or is it just an idea?" Liu Ye asked curiously.

Nowadays, Liu Jiaman rarely even accepts movies, and is even mentioned in TV series. Just hearing it is incredible. If someone heard this on the street, they would definitely think it was nonsense.

"The contract has been signed, and we originally planned to break the news at the end of September, before the movie is released, but the four bosses are not outsiders, so it doesn't hurt to tell them first," Xu Jie said.

The four theater general managers suddenly lost their composure.

If this news is reported, it will definitely arouse the expectations of many people, thereby increasing the number of movie viewers.

"Mr. Xu, what method did you use to get Liu Jiaman?" Li Kangyong asked curiously, and the other three also looked in disbelief.

There were so many companies that wanted to invite Liu Jiaman to come back to the film industry, but none of them succeeded.

But now, they were actually invited by the deputy general manager of Beijing TV Culture, who had no presence in the film and television industry, and agreed to star in a TV series. If they hadn't seen Mr. Xu on TV, they would have had reason to suspect that he was a liar.

.

"This is a commercial secret and cannot be disclosed to you." Xu Jie said apologetically.

That was the secret between him and Liu Jiaman. What if word spread and others imitated it?

When Li Kangyong and others saw Xu Jie, they became even more curious. But imagine, even they were curious, but what about the movie fans? They would definitely be curious too.

And curiosity often makes movie fans hesitate among multiple movies before finally choosing this movie.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think about increasing the film schedule to 6%?" Zhao Youzhong asked tentatively, and the other three people also looked over.

With so many things to watch, it’s no problem to add some film sequences.

As for why the 6% was mentioned, this was not just a casual comment, but a plan to allocate 1% from each of the comedy and the other two action movies to Mr. Xu's film.

"Mr. Zhao, can't you still see my sincerity?" Xu Jie asked.

Zhao Youzhong was stunned. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with the 6% film schedule.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed disproportionate to get an extra 5% rebate but only 3% more films.

"What do you think is 8%?" Zhao Youzhong gave another figure. There are always a lot of people watching comedy movies, and there is only one comedy movie in the National Day schedule. We can't lower the number of movies. If we want to lower it, just drop the action movie.

.

Xu Jie shook his head gently.

Wang Dekun was impatient and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xu, how much do you want to say?"

Xu Jie thought for a while and then said: "Fifteen, minimum fifteen."

When Wang Dekun heard this, he immediately started shaking his head, "No, we definitely can't schedule films at such a high level. Do we need to schedule other movies?"

"It depends on people." Xu Jie said: "Let's do this, you give me a chance to prove it in seven days. If the box office is not good in the first seven days, then in the remaining twenty days, you can adjust the schedule of my movie back to 100%.

Third, how about returning the film schedule to those movies that have done well at the box office?"

Wang Dekun's mouth twitched and he thought: This person is such a thief.

The first week of a movie's release is usually regarded as the seven golden days of the movie, which means that the best time period for a movie's box office is the first seven days.

Generally, after the first week, the box office of a movie will drop significantly, and even the remaining twenty days combined are not as good as the first seven days, or even the first two or three days.

Moreover, the National Day is usually a seven-day holiday. This year, although the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day are connected together, they are only released for eight days. The movies released during the National Day period are also targeted at these eight days, so they decided to

stalled during this time period.

Now Mr. Xu wants seven days to prove it. He has given away the most precious seven days. What is the difference between this and a whole month?

"Mr. Xu, are you too calculating? The seven days you want are better than a month for others." Liu Ye said with a wry smile.

This year's National Day holiday is an eight-day holiday that every movie must compete for. Who cares about the film schedule after eight days?

"Mr. Liu, look at what you said, aren't the rebates I'll give you for your films higher than those for other films?" Xu Jie said with a smile.

"How about Mr. Xu, how about I increase the film schedule for the next three weeks to 20%? You just have to make do with it in the first week." Liu Ye suggested.

"That won't work." Xu Jie shook his head and said.
