Disaster Artist

Chapter 67: let's move

From the uncertainty of the future to the recovery of the cost, it took only five days to "unfriend"——

To be precise, it should be six days from last Friday to this Wednesday.

This also gave Ji Xu great confidence, and even his eyes became firm.

"Manager Su, we came here today to talk to you about the screening next week. We are considering..."

The words had just been spoken, and before he had time to get down to business, Su Changting raised his hand to interrupt Ji Xu.

"The screening, yes, you don't come to me today, I'm going to find you too. Two companies came to me and asked for your contact information. They want to discuss with you about the full release of 'unfriend'. ."

What?

"I originally wanted to give Ji Xu's contact information directly, but you don't know these companies, all of them are jackals that eat people and don't spit bones. If you are not mentally prepared, they will probably be able to put you in your hands. The interests are squeezed to the point where there is nothing left.”

"I thought, you should take the initiative, so I left their business cards, and then I will explain to you first, and then you will contact them."

"……What's up?"

Su Changting was talking to himself, but noticed that Lu Qian and Ji Xu were both looking at him with strange eyes, so he stopped and asked.

Lu Qian said, "Manager Su, this is not your job, why are you helping us?"

Su Changting stretched and leaned lazily against the sofa.

"I have no interest in making money, as you all know, otherwise the Dome Cinema would have closed down long ago. I just like movies. If you can make money from this movie, it means that Lu Qian can shoot again. I'm looking forward to the next work."

After finishing speaking, Su Changting also threw a wink at Lu Qian in an enchanting gesture, and raised his chin slightly.

"How about it, have you thought about the subject of your next work now?"

Lu Qian was stunned for a while, but couldn't hold back, the chuckle broke through his throat and shook his head, "Not yet."

Su Changting didn't mind either, "It's better to slow down and settle for a while, there's no need to rush, give yourself some time to clear your brain and re-concept. I've agreed, but I'm waiting for surprises."

Ji Xu was a little anxious, "Manager Su, the company...?"

"Ah, yes, it's business."

Su Changting nodded.

"One of them is Streamer Films."

Ah?

who?

Both Lu Qian and Ji Xu thought they had heard it wrong, so they exchanged glances, but there was no answer, so they looked at Su Changting again.

Su Changting was not surprised at all, without pausing, he continued talking to himself.

"I don't know what happened between Liuguang Pictures and you, but from the current situation, they have no good intentions."

"They have inquired about the distribution rights in detail to see if it is in the hands of the Dome Cinema or in your hands. It seems that they want to buy them out completely."

"But who knows?"

"If they buy out the distribution rights, and then lock the film source in the warehouse and refuse to release it, the sun will never be seen, and you have no right to speak."

Ah, so it is.

No wonder the name of Liuguang Pictures appeared, not because "they regretted it, and Lu Qian slapped their face", but because they still had follow-up measures.

It's no wonder that Liuguang Pictures did not directly look for Ji Xu or Lu Qian, but found the Dome Cinema. It is estimated that they did not expect Su Changting to tell the truth.

"..." Ji Xu couldn't understand, "But why? Why did they spend hundreds of thousands or even millions to buy out the distribution rights and then put them on the shelf?"

From this question, it can be seen that Ji Xu is still a little immature and lacks experience.

No need for Su Changting to answer, Lu Qian already gave the answer.

"Because this is no longer an economic issue, but a face issue. The works they want to block have failed. This is not allowed by them."

Su Changting glanced at Lu Qian and nodded lightly in agreement, "Also, it's an explosion in advance, they won't just watch someone rise."

Although Su Changting is not aware of the grievances and grievances between Lu Qian and Liuguang Pictures, in fact, things have developed up to now, even if they were personal grievances at the beginning, they have gradually evolved into disputes of interests and momentum, and things are no longer simple. purely.

Hundreds of thousands and millions is an unimaginable number for Lu Qian and Ji Xu, but for a company like Streamer Films, it is a drop in the bucket, maybe a premiere and a press release The meeting is more than that, and they have more plans beyond the numbers.

Liuguang Pictures takes a longer-term view, and they see the overall situation.

Ji Xu immediately wanted to understand the twists and turns, and showed a thoughtful expression——

If this is the case, it also means that the follow-up release of "Unfriending" should still face obstacles, and Streamer Films will definitely not sit still.

So……

"Where's the other company?" Ji Xu's thoughts turned quickly and he had already taken a step forward.

The point now is, can this company withstand the pressure of the streamer film industry?

If not, how should they increase their chips? For businessmen, as long as there are enough benefits, all risks are not a problem.

Thinking about it seriously, "Unfriending" has only been released on the fifth day, and someone has already moved quickly, almost at the same time as Liuguang Films. It is because the opportunity is found and the opportunity is seized.

"Beyond the cinema."

Transcendence?

Is it actually transcendence?

Not the publishing company~www.novelmt.com~, but the detached theater chain, one of the eight major theater chains in the world?

As mentioned before, there are currently eight cinema chains occupying the top of the pyramid, and together they occupy 90% of the global market share.

Among them, Beyond the Cinema is not the youngest, but definitely the most special.

According to common sense, the better the geographical location of the cinema, the greater the passenger flow. The top cinema chains are often competing for prime locations in downtown shopping malls.

Just like the name of the theater line, "detached", their slogan is to leave the most prosperous and crowded areas in the city center, making watching movies a pastime away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, enjoying a short relaxation, escaping from real life , really immersed in the charm of the film.

As a result, their cinemas are located on the edge of the city - not to remote areas in the suburbs, but they are often relatively quiet and cold areas, and then different from commercial cinemas in shopping malls, they tend to be designed differently according to the environment of different areas. style cinema.

For example, courtyards, libraries, coffee houses, hot springs... and so on, every movie theater has its own special labels, even those under the detached theater line are not the same.

Such a strategy has allowed Chaotuo Cinema to stand out in the fierce competition, and even built a lot of Internet celebrity cinemas, attracting many young people to check in.

Although the number of cinemas beyond the cinema chain is not the largest, and the market share is among the eight major cinema chains, it should be hovering around the sixth and seventh place; but undoubtedly, their market positioning and strategies are the most thoughtful. Operate cinemas as an art team.

Now, Beyond the Cinema is handing out an olive branch to "Unfriend".
