Entertainment: Top Agents

Another two days passed, and it was time for Liang Lin to talk about the release of the movie.

As the saying goes, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

No matter how good a movie these days is, if it doesn’t have strong film schedules from theaters, it won’t be able to achieve success at the box office.

Liang Lin knew that this battle would be difficult, but he had to face it.

As long as this battle was fought well, it would be easy to arrange for the subsequent movie to be released.

And this time, Liang Lin specially prepared a lot of things in order to negotiate with these theaters about the film schedule, and also invited the heads of these theaters to have dinner together.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang."

When he saw the general managers of these theaters arriving, Liang Lin immediately stood up to greet him.

After seeing Liang Lin, several people also smiled superficially.

They all knew that the purpose of Liang Lin's visit to them today was What.

It’s nothing more than a movie scheduling issue.

But someone has already said hello, don’t schedule this movie that Liang Lin invested in.

"Xiaoliang, you are so ignorant. You come to us to do something but don't drink?"Mr. Wang asked Liang Lin with a smile.

There was indeed a glass of wine in front of Liang Lin, but he didn't drink it.

But Liang Lin didn't intend to drink.

"Hi, Mr. Wang, you may have misunderstood me."

"This wine is not simple. If you want me to drink it, then I will definitely drink it."

"But the problem is, I don’t know anything about wine. It’s such a good wine. I’ll drink one more glass and you’ll drink one less glass."

"Moreover, this wine is so good, I don’t understand it even after drinking it, but Mr. Wang, if you drink it, you will be able to taste the taste of this wine."Liang Lin's high EQ answer made these people feel good.

"In this way, Mr. Wang, you want me to drink a few drinks, and I will drink a few drinks."

"But forget about this kind of wine, I can’t get the real thing, I just drink the ordinary, common ones."

"I won’t drink such a tasteful and good wine, leaving it to you, Mr. Wang, to taste it."

As he said that, Liang Lin asked someone to bring a few bottles of liquor.

This also distinguished his identity.

The CEOs of these theaters drink high-end wine, but Liang Lin can only drink low-end wine.

He said this In doing so, he is invisibly lowering his status.

After the wine was served, Liang Lin drank three glasses of wine.

After finishing the drink, Liang Lin said:"I won't beat around the bush with you bosses.""

"This time my movie"囧囧" will be released. I hope all the bosses can arrange more films."

"Of course, I also know that Mr. Wang from Huayi must have said hello."

As the saying goes, drinking makes people bold.

After drinking so much wine, Liang Lin became bolder and went straight to the point.

One of them looked at Liang Lin and remained silent.

But when he saw Liang Lin He couldn't bear the fact that Lin made himself drink alcohol for this movie.

Everyone has troubles.

Everyone present knew what happened to Liang Lin back then.

"Then why did you invite us out for dinner when you knew Huayi had already said hello?"

"Are you so confident that you can convince us that our theater chains will give you enough film schedules?"

"This amount of slices cannot be solved in one meal."

"You have to understand that we can't afford to offend Huayi Brothers, and Huayi Brothers has to release so many movies; we have to give him face."

Mr. Li looked into Liang Lin's eyes and expressed his thoughts.

Others nodded, indicating that they had the same idea as Mr. Li.

Liang Lin had already expected this answer.

"So, let me ask you, do you want to make money?"

"Haha~ That’s interesting, who doesn’t want to make money?"The fat Mr. Wang laughed.

"Do you think your movie can make money? Why should we believe you?"Mr. Chen thought it was ridiculous.

Liang Lin smiled and said,"I know you won't believe me, a brat."

"Moreover, Huayi also warned you earlier, asking theaters not to give my movies too many slots."

"What does this mean? Have you ever thought about it?"Liang Lin asked with a smile.

Everyone present was silent at this point. They didn't know what he wanted to express for a moment. At this time, Liang Lin continued to ask:"Brothers Huayi, please reduce the number of films scheduled for my movie."

"I dare to ask you, have Huayi Brothers sent you red envelopes?"

Several people present fell silent. This is definitely not the case.

Huayi said hello and asked them not to give Liang Lin a good film schedule.

But it only said hello, but did not give them a red envelope.

"You are all in the theater business. You have reduced my movie schedule. Yes, I have lost money, but don’t you lose money?"

"Your theaters also have to eat at the box office. The higher the box office of a movie, the more your theater will get."

"Huayi asked you to take care of me, but you agreed not to say anything, but you also had to spend at least one month's sales of your theater to play with Huayi. Do you think this is worth it?"

As he spoke, Liang Lin took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it for himself.

Liang Lin, who was smoking, looked at the CEOs of the theaters present.

And these CEOs all fell silent. (See For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Obviously, Liang Lin's words touched their hearts.

Mr. Li, who usually rarely spoke, looked at Liang Lin:"What you said is right."

"Huayi said hello, let us reduce the number of films scheduled for a movie. This is indeed possible, resulting in our theaters sharing less on this movie and making less money."

"But what about you? You are an investor, and if you schedule fewer films, you won’t be able to do well at the box office."

"At that time, you will still be the loser, and the most serious one is you, the producer."

Liang Lin nodded and acknowledged what Mr. Li said. He is right. He is an investor. When the time comes, the movie will not be released well. No matter how good the quality of the movie is, if there is no release, there will be no box office.

"But Mr. Li, my total investment in this movie is only 40 million."

"To put it bluntly, I am playing with you with these 40 million. Even if you don’t give me a movie schedule, I have nothing. As long as the movie’s box office reaches 120 million, I can get my money back."

"Then the movie can also sell the copyright to the Internet, which will cost at least 10 million"

"Okay, even if this movie’s film schedule is only 1%, the box office is ignored."

"The copyright I sold to the Internet is also worth 10 million. At worst, I will lose 30 million."

"But general managers, what about your theater chains?"

"Without the share of a movie, the rent of so many of your theaters, employee salaries, expenses, etc."

"You have to pay for these from the box office share of other movies."

"This also means that you helped Huayi suppress me, and you still have to pay for it yourself."

"And what about Huayi? As long as I say hello to you and don't give you a red envelope, you can achieve the purpose of suppressing me. You tell me, who is playing tricks on whom?"

Liang Lin's words shocked all the bosses.

If it weren't for Liang Lin's words, they really wouldn't have thought of this.

Before, they were thinking that they all opened theaters.

Huayi every year They will invest in so many movies for release, and they have a good relationship with Huayi.

After that, when Huayi's movies are released, their theaters will make money.

Because more movies are released, the theater will get a bigger share of the box office. More.

Moreover, the expenses of cinemas are very high. They are open all year round. The rent of cinemas, staff salaries, etc. all have to be paid.

After these costs, the last thing they have left is the money they earn.

But now Well, Huayi asked them to suppress Liang Lin.

Yes, they can suppress Liang Lin's movies; but if they suppress Liang Lin's 430 movies, it will not reduce their cinema's monthly fixed expenses, but will also affect their cinema's Income.

If it affects the income of their theaters, it will make them less money.

They can help Huayi suppress a movie, but they cannot help Huayi suppress it with their own money.

If Huayi wants to suppress Liang Lin's movie this time, Huayi gave them red envelopes as compensation, which makes sense, but the key point is that they didn't give them either.

"However, Huayi is the leading film production company in the industry."

"Our losses this time can be earned back by his movies in the future."

Mr. Li, who didn't speak much, spoke up again and looked at Liang Lin to speak frankly. Liang

Lin, who put out his cigarette butt, smiled when he heard Mr. Li's words.

Mr. Li saw Liang Lin smiling so confidently, and he felt a little Frowning.

Did I overlook something?

"It is true that Huayi is the leading film production company in China, but can its films really make money?"

"If you theater chains can really make money from Huayi's movies,"

"So why do you theater chains introduce a large number of Hollywood movies every year?"

"Your theater chain must support the fixed expenses of all theaters and invest in new branches."

"Can Huayi's movies really bring you a good share of the box office?"

"If this is really the case, will your theater introduce more Hollywood films every year?"

Facing Liang Lin's inquiry, these general managers were all speechless.

Yes, the movies played in theaters nowadays basically rely on foreign movies to make more money. For domestic movies, now they Cinemas don’t make much money.

For example, the box office of this year’s re-release of"Titanic" was 9.4.

It is the highest-grossing movie in the domestic film market so far this year.

Then there is Huayi’s"Painted Skin 2" 700 million.
