Chapter 150 The closed door
A few days later, Ye Xinghui, who finally completed the post-production of the film, walked out of the editing room with his waist stretched out.
..
meeting room.
"Xinghui, let me tell you bad news. Currently, several distribution companies that the film industry has contacted are unwilling to take over this movie!" Liu Hanyan said.
Ye Xinghui's eyes were calm and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Today's meeting was originally intended to discuss when "Mr. Zombie" would be released, but unexpectedly, Liu Hanyan hit the target.
"What did the issuing companies say? We didn't give them enough money?"
Liu Hanyan did not answer and signaled to Zeng Wan to speak.
"Mr. Ye, I went to negotiate with several companies. Those distribution companies said that our movie was not good, that we were not famous, that the investment was small, and there were a series of problems, so we rejected it!" Zeng Wan explained.
hehe?
If you haven’t seen the movie, you say our movie is not good!
A film investment of 30 million is still small? Besides, what does distribution have to do with investment? Can I just give you the money?
So many excuses are not as direct as the last few words, isn’t it just rejection?
Snap!
Ye Xinghui patted the table and said seriously: "Activate all connections and find those distribution companies. Our company will bear the publicity expenses ourselves. After distribution, we will enjoy a 5% to 10% share of the box office."
"I don't believe those publishing companies are pig-minded, let's call it a night!"
Two days later.
Paradise Club.
The heads of five entertainment companies gathered together to form a small celebration reception.
"I have good news for you all. Xinghui Pictures' movie will not be released on the Spring Festival schedule!" Li Yaxing raised his glass and announced loudly, with the joy on his face even a fool could see it.
Ke Yongchang raised his wine glass at the right time: "Cheers!"
"Dry!"
..
"Haha, let me tell you, Xinghui Pictures is not that big of a deal. How can it still play with us if we cut off its path?" Ma Guang said with a smile.
Li Yaxing laughed, an invisible crisis was resolved, and his mood improved a lot.
"Eat and drink well, everyone, today is mine!"
"Okay, I have to give Mr. Li some face!" Liang Fan gave him a compliment, and then said: "I heard that there are a few new masseuses here in Paradise, how about everyone also enjoys meat? Mr. Li won't feel bad.
Money?"
Yu Jiaping also followed suit: "Let's get the massage!"
It’s a happy day, and Li Yaxing doesn’t mind having a little fun, so he waved his hand: “Let’s go, we’ll have one-stop dining and entertainment today!”
...
Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, the film distribution market has closed the door to "Mr. Zombie"! Maybe not even a crack is left!
More than ten distribution companies contacted only received one message!
Sorry, we will not distribute your film!
For a while, the atmosphere in the company seemed very tense.
Although Xinghui Pictures is very powerful in the television industry, it is completely new in the film industry, with no background, no reputation, nothing, just a blank slate.
Many senior executives of the company were sitting in Ye Xinghui's office, lowering their heads to discuss solutions with each other.
In fact, there is no need for department managers such as the music department, human resources department, and logistics department to come. They are here more to provide wisdom and share some of the pressure.
Thirty million yuan is not much for the company and it can afford to pay compensation, but if he dies in such an unexplained way, I'm afraid no one can accept it.
Ye Xinghui raised his head, glanced around and said, "Let's talk about it. Let's summarize the information everyone has. Let's find out what the problem is!"
"Mr. Ye, are the distribution companies not optimistic about our movies?" HR manager Cheng Yongchang said.
"Maybe it's because our investment is too small and we can't grab the box office during the Spring Festival?" Tian Xiaoqi also weighed in.
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
But they were all denied by Zeng Wan and Liu Hanyan!
Ye Xinghui did not speak, but listened carefully.
"Why don't we go to Mr. Chang from Universal International and Mr. Wei from Carlspie?" Zeng Wan had an idea.
Everyone's eyes lit up. It was indeed a good idea. The six majors have such deep foundations. It shouldn't be too easy to promote a movie to theaters!
Only Liu Hanyan knew that this was probably the last choice Ye Xinghui wanted to make.
Once you open your mouth, it's a favor, and it's a big favor.
Although the CEOs of the three companies have good friendships, they always meet in the same shopping mall. No one can tell what the future will bring. Not to mention that if even a self-made movie cannot be released, it will undoubtedly affect everyone's self-confidence.
blow.
Ye Xinghui waved his hand, not wanting to continue talking about this topic, and said: "Okay, I understand the current situation! Doesn't it mean that we seem to be targeted and blocked again?"
"Actually, we don't need to investigate to know who did it. At this time, there are only a few companies that are in a hostile relationship with us. Among them, Dimension Entertainment is the most likely to have such influence."
Speaking of this, even he smiled a little.
It was originally a head-to-head match. If the opponent didn't fight back, then he wasn't worthy of being in the top six.
Dang Dang Dang!
Secretary Xiaoling's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Ye, a guest you invited is already waiting in the lounge. Do you need to ask him to come over?"
"Let him come directly!"
Just when everyone was still immersed in thinking about solutions.
Zhou Yuelun, dressed in a crisp suit, opened the door and walked in.
Ye Xinghui stood up to greet him, and introduced with a smile: "Most of the company's senior executives are here now. Let me introduce to you. This is Zhou Yuelun, the general manager of StarCraft Cinemas."
General manager of a theater company?
Doesn’t my boss plan to go through the distribution company and go directly to theaters? Do you want the span to be so big!!
Zhou Yuelun also smiled and shook hands with everyone: "Hello everyone, Zhou Yuelun was called by the boss today. To be honest, I don't know what the situation is. Can someone tell me?"
boss?
Zeng Wan, Zhang Huaqing, Cheng Yongchang, Dong Jie and other high-level officials looked at each other face to face.
Only Liu Hanyan, the vice president and financial steward, suddenly realized that Ye Xinghui still had this theater company under his command. Who said that this movie couldn't be released?
The image of Dimension Entertainment and the film industry being all-powerful was instantly shattered.
Everyone can't help but look forward to what's to come. I've been following my boss on various expeditions recently, and it feels really cool.
"Yue Lun, sit down first and let Manager Zeng Wan tell you!"
Ye Xinghui gave the order and then drank the imperial flower tea by himself. He didn't know if it was because of the infection from Teacher Zhao Rong. He really didn't like drinking tea so much before.
Zeng Wan smiled and began to explain.
From the grievances between the company and Dimension Entertainment, ZTE Pictures and others, to now that the filming of "Mr. Zombie" has ended, but no distribution company has taken over, they have basically said the same thing.
Zhou Yuelun listened with bright eyes. He has not encountered any competitors in his development yet. He has always relied on money to purchase the decoration layout of the cinema. Unexpectedly, Ye Xinghui has already made great achievements at such a young age.
Smiling bitterly: "Boss, I didn't expect that what you said half a year ago was true. A movie was actually made."
Ye Xinghui gave him a cute look: "What else?"
"Pfft!"
Tian Xiaoqi laughed again.
Many people can't help it anymore, and their boss will always liven up the atmosphere.
..
"Okay, okay, Yue Lun, you don't have to be shocked. If it weren't for Dimension Entertainment and their troubles before, I might not be able to make movies. Please help me see if there are any good distribution companies?" Ye Xinghui stopped.
Zhou Yuelun pondered his thoughts and ignored the expectant looks of everyone in the film industry.
"Boss, it's not difficult to find a distribution company. There's one thing I want to say in advance!"
"Say it!" Ye Xinghui stretched out his hand.
"I can guarantee that at Star Cinema, even if it is the Spring Festival, the initial screening rate of our own movies will not be less than 50%. But if the attendance rate of this movie is not good, the boss, don't blame me for removing this movie.
The film schedule is reduced!" Zhou Yuelun reminded.
He is the general manager of a theater chain company. He considers everything for the theater chain and can open a back door for his boss, but the subsequent box office is beyond his control.
Ye Xinghui nodded: "Okay, you can recommend a distribution company!"
"How about the new era?" Zhou Yuelun replied.
New Era is a very well-known film and television group company in Datang.
