Chapter 343: Have fun with nothing

In the conference room of the New Film Alliance, although the heat is unbearable outside, the powerful central air conditioning in the office makes people feel like they are in the cool autumn. If you are sitting in the conference room at this moment, looking at the blue sky outside the window, and not listening to the noisy cicadas, you will have a feeling of poetry rising to the blue sky when a crane lines up the clouds in the clear sky. Naturally, there are not many people in the office like Ye Ming who would make such a pleasant association at this moment.

Sitting here are thirteen managers. These thirteen managers are the leaders of the thirteen cinemas of the New Film Alliance. They are also the shareholders of the New Film Company. The New Film Alliance originally had 68 theaters, all of which were It is the operators of these twelve cinemas. Later, Ye Ming joined in. Because it was foreign capital, this suddenly increased the number of cinemas in New Film Alliance to 89. Ye Ming controlled 21 cinemas and was considered the largest shareholder of New Film Alliance. .

Of course, because Ye Ming is affiliated with the New Film Alliance, the New Film Alliance usually won't think about Ye Ming when something happens. Especially when something good happens, they rarely think about looking for Ye Ming. bright. Of course, Ye Ming wouldn't come over if he looked for him.

But this time, Chairman Liu of the New Film Alliance notified Huihuang Film and Television to come to the meeting, and this time it was Ye Ming. This was something that everyone never expected. For such a celebrity boss, they were They have been very familiar with each other for a long time, but this was Ye Ming's first time to attend a shareholders' meeting.

At this time, Chairman Liu showed a fake smile on his face and said: "Everyone, I have come to see you this time. In fact, it is because the leaders above mean that there is something that I want everyone to share their worries and solve. Someone provided a reform idea to the General Administration, saying that the current movie ticket prices are very high and difficult to accept. Therefore, under such a situation, some people suggested that if the ticket price is reduced to five yuan, then It’s quite appropriate.”

At this time, everyone in the conference room expressed their disapproval.

Ye Ming even said without hesitation: "Isn't this nonsense? I can't make ends meet for more than 20 yuan. For five yuan, all my people will drink the northwest wind. Isn't this nonsense?" "

In fact, Chairman Liu had long thought that Ye Ming would be very disgusted, because he knew that Ye Ming not only said that he had a cinema, but also had a film company. On such a question, if he said that it would be reduced to five If the movie ticket price is 100 yuan, then Ye Ming will be at a disadvantage no matter what. Therefore, it is strange that he does not object.

Seeing Ye Ming's fierce reaction, Chairman Liu pressed his hands and said: "Quiet, quiet, please pay attention to this matter. In fact, on such an issue, the leader's intention is also a temporary experiment. I don’t mean it has to be done this way, just to test the people’s reaction.”

Guangming Cinema in Xuanwu District gave a hint and said: "Chairman Liu, it's not that I'm not happy with this matter. It's actually that this matter is fundamentally unworkable. In fact, even if you say you don't want money, the people will be happy." Well, what do we people in the cinema eat? For five yuan, no matter how we calculate the accounts, we will lose money. Therefore, in a situation like this, I don’t think there is any need to test it. No one will try it. It’s my son’s business.”

Chairman Liu said very resolutely: "It's impossible, absolutely not baking naan. At this time, we must complete such a task. Because the issue of autonomy is what the leader said and the task assigned by the leader. Do you dare not finish it?

Anyone who dares to say something like this will have to bear the wrath of the leader on such a matter. Do you still need your screening qualifications? If you want it, haha, feel free to hand it over, there are plenty of people who are willing. "

Now the manager of Guangming Cinema was too frightened to speak, and shrank his head in fear.

Seeing this, Chairman Liu said: "Well, that's right. We all have things to discuss. Don't say that if you hear that you might lose money at this time, you won't be willing to do it. In fact, we can still discuss it. Yes?"

Ye Ming took over the words at this time and said: "Chairman Liu, in fact, no one is an outsider in this matter. I just made a rough calculation. If the ticket price is five yuan, the attendance rate of the cinema must be at least 100. Eighty percent, only 80% or more can we guarantee that we will not lose money. Think about it, after Titanic, is there such an attendance rate? Who dares to guarantee an 80% attendance rate? Who dares to Promise, I will study tomorrow." In fact, many people know the result of this calculation. The difference is that few people are as fast as Ye Ming. Therefore, all the managers are silent. This is a thing that is destined to be impossible to make money. Who is willing to take over?

Chairman Liu glanced at everyone and said, "Well, when it comes to real things, the problem is that no one is willing to participate.

Isn't this bullying? Someone has to test it, no one can do it? Of course, this does not mean that no benefits will be provided. It can be said that as long as it is a trial cinema, the film foundation will be exempted during the trial period. "

As we all know, part of the box office of movies shown in theaters will be turned into film funds. No matter who the director is, no matter what the box office is, in fact, there is no shortage of film funds. It can be said that the General Administration made a lot of determination for the experiment this time.

Then, Chairman Liu glanced at everyone who was excited, paused and said: "Another thing is that as long as you think the movie is suitable, you can continue to show it after filing, and it is not subject to quota restrictions. That means it’s not within the quota.”

With such a condition, people are beginning to be tempted. Although losses are certain, it doesn't seem impossible to give a few more preferential conditions. Just as everyone was waiting for Chairman Liu to continue talking about this matter, Chairman Liu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Are you thinking about having suitable preferential conditions? No, just these two, the rest is up to you. ability,”

The manager of Guangming Cinema suddenly became unhappy and said helplessly: "Chairman Liu, to be honest, how much do you think the possibility of success is in this matter? It obviously means that it is impossible to succeed. Even if these two It is unlikely to succeed under such conditions. We at Guangming Cinema declare that we will not do it."

No matter what it is, it is better to distance yourself first. This is the plan of the manager of Guangming Cinema.

Chairman Liu said very resolutely: "If anyone keeps talking nonsense, tell the leader directly, this matter has nothing to do with me. What we are discussing now is that the leader said that there must be a good pilot. Let's see what it is. We have to sacrifice a movie theater like this to take care of the overall situation."

This means that there is room for negotiation. Therefore, based on the plan of being a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, at this time, the manager of Guangming Cinema was the first to point the finger at Ye Ming and said: "Brilliant The cinema is more suitable, because our New Film Alliance only has Huihuang Cinema with the most cinemas. I think Mr. Ye's Huihuang Cinema is very suitable."

There are no managers present who are not cunning. Every one of them is a cunning fox. This time I saw the spirit of adding insult to injury. Almost all the managers praised Ye Ming incessantly and proved it. The cinema is the largest and most luxurious.

They are all established with foreign capital, so they are of very high quality. It would be very suitable for a cinema like this to be used for experimentation.

Seeing such a situation, Chairman Liu gave Ye Ming a serious look and said: "Mr. Ye, since everyone hopes that you will participate in such a thing, I think you should follow the public opinion. Better. You can rest assured that the New Film Alliance will not forget your contribution."

What kind of thing is this? Bullying? Ye Ming's face turned red and he said very simply: "Bullying people, this is bullying people, we are not talking about the benefits. Chairman Liu, what if I fail?" Chairman Liu was very sure. Said: "Don't worry, since the above said to let you do the experiment at this time, I will definitely give you a good space."

However, Ye Ming was not very grateful at this time. He snorted and said nothing more. This could be regarded as an outlet for his own contradictions. .

But in a situation like this, everyone seemed to be breathing a long sigh of relief. As long as Ye Ming was in front of him, this would have been a big deal.

Ye Ming pondered for a while and said: "You must listen to me about the arrangements for the cinema. You can't interfere with it. Otherwise, if it loses its function, everyone will break up. It's not a big deal."

On the contrary, at this time, the New Film Alliance is in agreement. "

As long as Ye Ming is willing to do this, things will officially have a real start.

In fact, on the surface, Ye Ming tried very hard to say that he was wronged, but in fact, only Ye Ming really knew this, and he felt happy in his heart.

Needless to say, the five-yuan movie ticket price this time was aborted, but at this time, the reform has left a good enough impression on the audience. This is a good opportunity to promote the brilliant cinema. ah.

As for losing money, although this experiment is said to be relatively short-lived, it seems that there is no need to do odd things. (To be continued)
