Since 1983

Yongle signed a contract with Beijing Film Studio to release "The Lion King" in Shanghai for a period of two years.

The first round is within four months from the premiere. If the distribution revenue is less than 1 million, Beijing Film Studio will get 60% and Paradise 40%. If it exceeds 1 million, it will exceed 42% of some Beijing Film Studios and 58% of Yongle.

Four months later, when the deadline expires, Beijing Film Studio has 42% and Yongle has 58%.

Beijing Film Studio is responsible for copying, and both parties jointly bear the publicity fee.

It also signed a contract with Qingying Film Studio to distribute "Da Sabba" in the Shanghai area for a period of two years.

The guaranteed reserve price is 1.1 million. If it is not reached, Paradise will give a full 1.1 million. If it exceeds, Qingying Studio will share 38% of the excess.

Qingying Studio is responsible for copying and publicizing, which is actually Tianxia Film and Television.

"The Lion King" is in a hurry, and it is going to be scheduled for April. Teacher Xu is not in a hurry, and is aiming at the summer vacation. He has to wait for him to finish the arrangement before he can activate the propaganda weapon.

Today, there are only more than 3,000 formal theaters in the country, with more than 3,000 effective screens, and the volume is just that big. And it keeps shrinking. In 2002, it was the darkest, with 563 theaters and 1,843 screens.

In 2019, there were 12,178 theaters and 68,922 screens.

…………

"boom!"

The green leather car sped past, crushing the morning frost on the railroad tracks. The Jiangnan vegetation with tender buds is dotted around, not very emerald green, gray with a little green.

Xu Fei was a little cold, so he closed the window, and Cheng Zhigu, who was opposite him, was eating instant noodles.

The old man was born in 29 years. He should have retired. His superiors decided to let him use his spare energy. In 1990, he became the director of Beijing Film Studio.

After taking office, he stopped losses and made profits for several consecutive years. Such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Chinese New Year", "Looking for Fun", "Police Officer in the Year of the Dragon", "Cock Fighting", etc., were all produced during his tenure.

After completely retiring, he also assisted Xie Jin in the filming of "The Opium War".

Is a capable person.

But what Xu Fei admired the most was the courage and vision of the old man who dared to reform. He was running around with himself in his sixties, eating instant noodles while snoring.

After this contact, the two got closer.

"Old factory manager, did you know Mr. Wu before?"

"Yes, I have been engaged in film work in Shanghai since XX, and I often deal with them."

"Oh, no wonder you guys are so popular. Mr. Wu is quite interesting, he has a businessman's mindset in his head."

"how to say?"

"A businessman looks at benefits. His idea is to benefit all parties, and all parties can bear losses. At the same time, he is very bold. This kind of person is suitable for leadership."

"Your point of view is rather peculiar."

Cheng Zhigu smiled, and said: "We are also a front now. To be honest, China Film Group will definitely reorganize this year, and Xiao Wu is among Lao Tian Xiangzhong's people."

"Yo, then he signed the contract with the profit, isn't it a certainty?"

"It's not far from ten, Laotian's reform is difficult, and manpower is urgently needed."

Hiss!

Xu Fei was startled, Wu Mengchen will become the boss of China Film Group? ? ? He only knows Mr. Han!

Man, what a blast.

After eating, eating and chatting, the train arrived at the second station going south, the capital of Anhui Province - the Big Blue Whale.

As usual, there was a car pick-up and delivery to a high-end hotel. The service was fine, but the owner didn't show up. The two murmured, feeling that something was wrong.

...

Waited for a day in vain, the next day.

Also in the conference room, Xu Fei and Cheng Zhigu were present at the same time, and opposite was Yang Qingfeng, the general manager of Suzhou Publishing Company, whom he had also met in Guilin.

Yang Qingfeng was very polite, and said with a smile: "There was something wrong yesterday, I'm really sorry, I will be the host tonight, and I will definitely take care of you two."

"It's easy to talk, let's talk about business."

Cheng Zhigu hugged the leather bag and said, "Xiao Yang, do you think we should talk separately? After all, it represents two studios."

"It's okay, our ideas are very unified, let me talk to you first."

On the contrary, the other party took the lead and said: "Since we have decided to reform, we will definitely support it. After research by the whole company, we have come up with two plans.

The first is the regional agency. We distribute the film as an agent, and the income is divided according to 2:8, and the studio gets 2.

There is also a buyout release, 100,000 yuan per film, of course it can be negotiated, and it can be floated up. "

"..."

Cheng Zhigu said silently, "Xiao Yang, isn't your ratio too small?"

"A lot! Think about it, this is just a province. If you sell 100,000 yuan in one province, the whole country is more than 3 million."

"Uh, let's talk first, I'll avoid it for a while."

Teacher Xu motioned, got up and went out.

As soon as he went out, he...tui silently! What is it?

Pure nonsense! You bought a movie for 100,000 yuan, but it sold for several million. Damn, I'm not so dark!

He waited in the corridor for a long time, but he didn't come out, so he simply went back to the hotel.

Cheng Zhigu didn't come back until noon.

"How about it?"

"No sincerity!"

The old man shook his head and said: "Yang Qingfeng seems to support it, but he is actually against it. He just wants to be a white wolf."

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Try again, it's finally here."

So the second day, the third day...

Cheng Zhigu's good temper couldn't bear it any longer, he waved his arms around the room and walked around in circles, "I thought he was a talent before, but I didn't expect him to be so short-sighted!

After all the truth has been explained, and the interests are maximized, he still refuses to let him go.

It is said that our Suzhou province is rich and the film market is developed, ranking first for eight consecutive years. What happened to the first eight years? With such a general manager at the booth, he will fall down sooner or later! "

The old man was so angry that he finally sat down, "I didn't know Suzhou was rich? I'm from Nantong, what did I say?"

"Yo, you are from Nantong, I thought it was the capital of magic."

"Graduated from Nantong Middle School in 1946, serious and upright, started working in 1948, and then went to Shanghai... Tsk! I'm talking about this, don't interrupt."

The old man is unhappy, and he tends to stray when chatting with this guy.

"Now Yang Qingfeng can't talk about it. According to the regulations, we should sink. We have to study the 11 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province."

11 prefecture-level cities, missing Suqian, Taizhou, Huai'an called Huaiyin City.

"I have some understanding. There are indeed quite a few theaters in various cities, especially in southern Jiangsu."

"Yes, we should start with Sunan."

Xu Fei fully agreed, saying: "The film market is related to the economy to a certain extent. These cities are very powerful, so it is inevitable that they will be cautious."

The two were researching when they suddenly heard the phone ringing in the room.

Teacher Xu was startled, picked it up and said, "Hello? Who is it?"

"..."

The other party was silent, as if trying to identify the age, and said, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Xu Feixu?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I'm the manager of the Blue Whale Film Company, and my surname is Jiang."

"..."

Xu Fei couldn't help but raise his lips, "Hi, what's the matter?"

"If it's convenient, I'll hold a banquet at Jiangsu Restaurant tomorrow night, and you and Factory Manager Cheng are sure to appreciate it."

"Okay, we'll definitely be there."

...

The next day, Cheng Zhigu went to find Yang Qingfeng as usual, completely disappointed.

That night, the two rushed to Jiangsu Restaurant.

Built in 1946, the former Mingji Fuxing Restaurant specializes in Jingsu cuisine, and the four signature dishes are Braised Sea Cucumber, Jiuning Golden Leg, Duck Wrapped Shark’s Fin, and Bian Dak Crisp.

In 1972, Hu Changling, a culinary master, was transferred to serve as the leader and changed its name to Jiangsu Restaurant.

The two entered the private room and saw four people sitting inside. A fat man stood up and said, "Mr. Xu, Director Cheng! Welcome, we're on the phone."

He is naturally the manager of the Blue Whale City Company, and then introduced, "This is the manager of the Suzhou Company."

"This is the manager of Wuxi Company."

"This is the manager of Nantong Company."

"To be honest, the four of us have already formed an alliance, and we want to talk to you about the distribution."

"..."

Teacher Xu's eyes widened. He was not from Suzhou in his previous life, but he had read a lot of jokes on the Internet.

This, is this the legendary bulk Jiangsu? ? ?

(The small group has also been banned, let me know...)
