Chapter 1516 Difficult Cinema Negotiations!

"Mr. Huang, I actually have one more thing to do in Qilin Plaza, and I want to ask you to be accommodating." When the vice president and others were satisfied, Yin Jun suddenly said this.

"Oh? Tell me!" The vice president raised his hand.

"Inside Qilin Plaza, I plan to build a modern cinema...just like the schematic diagrams on the following pages." Yin Jun said, "It is divided into three or five small halls. Through professional decoration design, the audio-visual charm of the movie can be better displayed. ...But in this cinema, I hope to play more movies from our city, as well as good movies shot by the Kirin Group in the United States."

As soon as Yin Jun said this, several people, including the vice president, frowned a little.

They thought that Yin Jun's cinema was the same as those in the Mainland and played movies from the Mainland.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun directly requested to play overseas movies.

Needless to say, movies from the United States are the most strictly controlled and cannot be admitted without careful review and approval.

Even if it comes in, I don’t know how many years ago it was.

The same is true for Hong Kong movies.

Everyone is still very familiar with Hong Kong movies, which have nothing to do with the concept of mainland propaganda.

Of course, it is definitely an exaggeration to say 100%, but it is also a normal judgment that more than 90% of movies are not suitable for the mainland.

At the current stage, the mainland is still very strict about ideological aspects.

Especially in the past two years, the campaign to crack down on crime has become the mainstream of society. We must not let the film leak out anymore. That is a very serious matter.

If someone else said this, the vice president would definitely just laugh and ignore it.

But the person who spoke was Yin Jun, so the vice president naturally couldn't say anything.

And Yin Jun is very smart. He bundled the cinema with commercial projects like Qilin Plaza. You all agree that he built this kind of complex commercial plaza similar to department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives. How can he just cut down the cinema? Lose?

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yin, didn't you cooperate with them in Guangdong Province a few months ago to play Xiangjiang movies in cinemas in Guangdong Province?" Another person behind the vice president obviously came from the cultural field, "If we expand all of a sudden When we arrive in so many big cities in the Mainland, isn’t it a bit too fast and difficult to control?”

"All the films we introduce to the mainland have been reviewed by the Broadcasting Bureau, and there are no problems." Yin Jun said seriously, "As for the cooperation in Guangdong, I can only say that I am very sorry."

While talking, Xiaoqiu took out several other documents.

As soon as he took this document and looked at it, the vice president's expression changed and became a little ugly.

The official who just mentioned the Guangdong film cooperation also turned red and felt very embarrassed.

The reason is simple. This document clearly explains the operating conditions of the 10 cinemas in Guangdong that play Xiangjiang movies in the past few months.

They released a total of 4 Xiangjiang movies, and the average box office of each Xiangjiang movie was pretty good, reaching 2 million yuan, which is about 7 million in Hong Kong dollars.

Considering there are only 10 theaters showing it, that's a lot of box office.

However, these movies did not do well at the box office all the way. Instead, the theaters were sold out at the beginning. After two weeks, the box office dropped sharply, with only about half of the attendance.

It’s not that the movies are not good to watch, but movie theaters in other places in Guangdong Province have begun to secretly screen these Xiangjiang movies, and the ticket prices are much lower. Of course, everyone goes to other movie theaters to watch them.

It's not just Guangdong, pirated copies have also spread to other cities in the south, cities in the east, cities in the north... At least half of the cinemas across the country are showing these Hong Kong movies!

The problem is that they only gave 10 theaters permission to show it.

Now that it's being shown in thousands of movie theaters across the country, what does that mean?

A pirated version of Chi Guoguo!

It’s still the stolen version of the patriotic businessman Yin Jun! !

If you tell the truth, what will people think of the mainland government?

Is this how you repay kindness with hatred?

Qilin Culture is not a random fabrication. It also lists a lot of data, which fully proves that piracy and copying are rampant and unscrupulous.

Finally, they also estimated a figure.

If we look at the current situation of piracy and copying, Qilin Culture will lose at least hundreds of millions of yuan!

Hundreds of millions of yuan!

In just a few months, Qilin Culture has lost hundreds of millions?

If it takes one year, two years, three years... how much will it cost?

The vice president frowned and turned to look at the person behind him, "Director Pi, what's going on?"

"This..." Director Pi was the one from the cultural system. He was hesitant and obviously had a hard time talking.

"Let's talk!" The vice president also acted responsibly, "Since my friends in Xiangjiang know about it, there's no point in being secretive about it."

"Is such that."

His immediate boss had spoken, and he was a central boss. Director Pi did not dare to hesitate any longer, "The movies introduced by Qilin Culture are really excellent, with high attendance rates, and the public also likes them very much... And in the past two years, Movie theaters are struggling to survive, so people there are wondering if they can borrow money to subsidize it.

At first, it was only around Guangdong Province, but in the end, every venue was also full! Then several studios began to produce copy films and sell them nationwide... They also knew that this was not good, but there was nothing they could do about it! There is no way to open the wages and bonuses of so many people! The lives of their families and children cannot be guaranteed..."

"Nonsense!"

The vice president unconsciously scolded, "It's their own fault if they can't do it well! Is this the reason for stealing the hard work of the compatriots in Xiangjiang? It's not like I'm poor, so I can steal things to make a living." Really? By doing this, what do you think of Qilin Culture? Will anyone dare to cooperate with you in the future?"

Director Pi lowered his head and did not dare to reply.

The vice president scolded for a while, then turned around and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yin! You really made a joke! It's our fault, I will let them correct it!"

"How to correct it?" Yin Jun asked harmoniously, "If in Xiangjiang, I would sue such a person and put him in jail! But in the Mainland, this is a collective behavior, and the crime is committed by all the people in the cinema system, Mr. Huang , can you put them all in jail?"

The vice president was speechless.

"Even if not all of them, can all the heads who made the decision be imprisoned?" Yin Jun then asked.

"..." The vice president still couldn't answer.

At the same time, his expression became more and more embarrassed.

What Yin Jun said is simply impossible.

This is a collective mistake, and the benefits are not pocketed by one person, but shared by everyone. How can it be punished?

But there was no way he was going to get angry.

If Yin Jun brought this matter to Mr. Yun and Mr. Xiao, everyone would be miserable. Even if he was the vice president, he would be scolded so hard that he could not hold his head up.

What's even more troublesome is that if Yin Jun gets angry because of this and withdraws some investment plans, it will really make him extremely depressed!

"I know it's not possible." Yin Jun sighed, "That's why I want to control my own destiny. In these cinemas in Qilin Plaza, I hope that we can arrange the screening ourselves after the movie passes the review. What do you think? How about it?"

"This..." the vice president thought for a while, nodded and said: "As long as it is in line with our values ​​and concepts and does not have those messy things, of course it is welcome!"

The vice president was somewhat forced to make this promise.

After Yin Jun caught state-owned enterprises in the mainland stealing intellectual copyrights and copying movies privately to broadcast them to make money, he felt a little guilty.

Not to mention that Yin Jun's prerequisite is to let the Broadcasting Bureau review it first, and the scale here can also be controlled.

If he refuses like this, I really don’t know how to face Yin Jun.

Director Pi behind him felt anxious for a while, but he also didn't dare to interrupt.

Because at this time, it was the time when he was most justified.

If he stops it, will it mean that Yin Jun will continue to suffer losses and these state-owned enterprises will continue to make money through piracy?

That makes no sense!

"We are just talking about general and specific matters here. I will let the people below discuss it with the Broadcasting Bureau, and finally hand it over to Mr. Huang for review." Yin Jun said with a smile, "And this matter comes up It’s still early. From selecting and purchasing land to building Qilin Plaza, and then putting it into operation after decoration, it will be at least two or three years later.”

The vice president thought the same thing. With such a buffer time, he thought there would be better policies to regulate these cinemas.

Maybe in a few years the system will open up a bit and we won't have to be as strict as we are now, leaving more space for Hong Kong movies, which will save us from being the bad guy.

With the mainland’s review system, these cinemas should not be a problem.

Also, under the guidance of Yin Jun, the Kirin Group is not so arrogant and cannot do anything to embarrass the mainland, otherwise Yin Jun will not be Yin Jun.

"There is another point." Yin Jun said, "The pilot in Guangdong is based on a 44:2 split. Kirin Movies gets 40%, the 10 cinemas get 40%, and the remaining 20% ​​goes to the broadcaster The film culture fund of the bureau. If we, Kirin Plaza, operate it ourselves, then after excluding all expenses, Kirin Film will get 30% of the profit, the cinema will get 50%, and the remaining 20% ​​will go to the film culture fund.

And as I promised everyone before, the profits from the cinema and Kirin Plaza will be used in the mainland just like those from the previous Kirin Electronics Factory, Record Factory, and Instant Noodle Factory. They will not be used in the mainland within ten years. A penny goes out! "

The vice president listened and said, "I believe in this, Mr. Yin. We are very grateful for your courage and sincerity! I believe that your investments in the mainland will bring you the most generous benefits in the future." The rewards are no worse than those from foreign countries!”
