Chapter Nine Hundred and Forty Fifth Discussion
Xiao Yunhai, Wang Guoan and others, led by Wu Zixu, stood in a row and bowed to everyone.
Seeing everyone's good reaction to the film, everyone's face showed the joy of success.
After sending the guests away, Xiao Yunhai was interviewed by some reporters and praised "Battle of Chibi".
After finally getting rid of the reporter, he was about to get into the car and leave when the phone suddenly rang.
Xiao Yunhai opened it and saw that it was Yu Hai's call, so he quickly pressed the answer button.
"Yunhai, are you in the theater?" Yu Hai was not polite at all, and there was a hint of anxiety that could not be concealed in his tone.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm about to leave."
Yu Haidao: "Then don't leave yet. President Hu and I will be there soon, something big is going to happen."
"Damn, the speed of the No. 1 chief is too fast."
Xiao Yunhai thought about it, and immediately guessed that it must be about the movie box office quota, and said, "Okay, I will wait for you in the reception room."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunhai came to the reception room. Jiang Chengdong poured him a cup of tea and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xiao, what is it that can provoke President Yu and President Hu together?"
Xiao Yunhai knew that this matter would not be used tomorrow, the whole country would know it, and there was no way to hide it, so he said without any cover up: "The entertainment industry is about to change. The film and television companies are not satisfied with the current box office quota system, and have united to prepare To launch a war with the theater chain. There is only one purpose, to increase the film profit share of film and television companies."
When Jiang Chengdong heard it, he was immediately shocked and said, "These film and television companies are too bold. Are they not afraid of offending the theater and not showing them movies?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "But the real problem is that if all the film and television companies in the country do not hand over their films to theaters,
Then the theater will face the dilemma of no film to play. At that time, it will be a big trouble. "
Jiang Chengdong suppressed the horror in his heart and said, "Can they unite? Can they do what Hollywood has not done?"
Xiao Yunhai sighed and said, "It's up to people. The national conditions of the two countries are different, and the small and medium-sized film companies in Hollywood can't work together, but this does not mean that domestic film and television companies will do the same. Look, this time we are dead. already."
"You really know this."
As soon as Xiao Yunhai finished speaking, Yu Hai's loud voice sounded outside the door.
Then Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting walked in with a serious look.
Xiao Yunhai got up and greeted them, asking, "How did you know about this?"
Hu Yaoting said: "Tonight, Minister Liang and Deputy Minister Xiao of the Ministry of Culture held a meeting with more than 20 film and television company executives to change our profit ratio for the first week to 45%. It's a joke. ."
I have to say that the saying that there are no secrets in the film and television industry is not wrong at all.
Just after the Ministry of Culture held a meeting, the big bosses of these theaters received news. Obviously, some of the bosses in the meeting were theirs.
It's a pity, even if you know, what can you do.
Chief No. 1 came to arrest this matter in person, not to mention these businessmen, even the most powerful people would have to take a break.
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai was noncommittal, Yu Hai snorted in his heart and said, "Yunhai, did you already know this would happen?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I heard about it on the first day of the new year. More than 30 high-profile entertainment companies submitted proposals to the government at the same time, requesting to change the China box office quota system. I just didn't expect that they would make such a move. quick."
Hu Yaoting complained, "Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "What if I said it earlier?"
Hu Yaoting said: "Find a way. Once this thing makes them successful, our annual loss will be more than tens of billions, who can stand it. I think other theaters also know the news now, and they should be in a hurry. negotiated countermeasures.”
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The result is the same regardless of whether it is discussed or not."
Yu Hai frowned and said, "Is there nothing you can do?"
The Xiao family is the No. 1 political family in China. The old man was No. 1, and Xiao Yunhai’s uncle was on No. 2. If he couldn’t do anything about it, then he really had no hope.
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I can't do anything about it. Besides, theaters are indeed hindering the development of the film industry. Sooner or later, this thing will happen. The difference is just how long it can last."
Hu Yaoting said: "One more day is one day. In any case, we must not let them succeed. Yunhai, although there are backers behind every major theater chain, no one can compare with you. As long as you... ."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and interrupted Hu Yaoting's words, saying, "Sister Hu, even my brother Xiao Yuanyang has taken action. What do you want me to do? Listen to my advice, the government has made up its mind on this matter. You can resist, but you must not have any drastic reaction. Otherwise, the consequences are not what you can bear."
Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting looked at each other and saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes.
"Yunhai, don't hide it anymore. Tell me, what are the chances of them succeeding?" Yu Hai asked.
"One hundred percent, we don't have any chance." Xiao Yunhai said without thinking.
Hu Yaoting took a deep breath and said, "How come?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "You all know about this, who did I hear?"
"Who."
"Chief One."
"boom."
Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting roared in their minds, they couldn't believe their ears, and looked at Xiao Yunhai with shocked eyes.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Those company executives knew that the Ministry of Culture couldn't handle this matter, so they tried to put the proposal directly on the desk of the No. 1 chief. Today, the entertainment industry accounts for almost one-fifth of the national tax revenue. , the director naturally attaches great importance to it, and secretly sent someone to do a detailed investigation. The result is that the box office ratio between the theater chain and the producer hinders the development of the film industry. I think the first director should have informed including my uncle. All the chiefs of the Ministry of Culture have asked the Ministry of Culture to handle this matter. Haha, do you think it is possible to overturn the decision of these six?”
"Look. In this matter, whoever dances the most and dies the fastest will never be an exception."
It took Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting a long time to digest this matter.
Yu Hai twisted his forehead, leaned against the sofa all of a sudden, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that we have no choice, we are really unwilling."
Hu Yaoting pursed her lips and said, "It's such a pity that tens of billions of dollars a year go to waste."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "It's not a blessing to know that it's not a blessing. Once the box office quota is changed, the film output of those film and television companies will definitely increase significantly, and blockbusters will emerge one after another. Maybe, our income will be higher than now."
Hu Yaoting smiled bitterly and said, "That's all I can think of."
Originally, she thought that with Xiao Yunhai, the eldest son of the Xiao family, there should be a chance for this matter to turn around, but when she heard that behind the incident were the six top leaders of China, all her hopes were instantly dashed. No more flukes.
