Chapter 1771: Pay a high price to buy the box office
·
Ku Mao
Now Rob Egger is very broken.
He himself can brag that he made 3000 million yuan at the box office in one day, but at most he will be scolded by the people for bragging and not paying taxes.
But the media cannot follow him and tell lies!
Once you do that, your credibility will be gone. Who will read the news from those media in the future? How can you make money?
Seeing that the original plan was about to be implemented, I didn't expect that Chen Mo would make such a big splash just by doing a lucky draw, which would directly wipe out all the efforts he made for "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith"!
Rob Egger punched the conference room so hard that the teacup he hammered flew into the air. He was furious: "The cost we paid in one day was as high as 3000 million!!! Chen Mo's stupid activity was all about using his own company's resources." Giving it to the audience means not paying any cents!!!
Why is our heat so low?
If this continues, the film's investment and recent publicity expenses will all be wasted! "
"What's even more frightening is that once Chen Mo lets the Moxin online ticketing system open up the entire Baguo film and television industry, the Baguo film and television industry will be his world from now on, and no one will buy Haolaiwu's movies!!!
This is not only a movie battle, but also a capital battle between Hegemony and the Daxia film and television industry, and even a cultural battle between the two sides! ! ! "
An investor boss looked livid and cursed: "Chen Mo did it on purpose! He just took advantage of our promotion expenses and spent a lot of money, and deliberately blocked the points to disgust us!"
The atmosphere in the conference room was as cold as falling into an ice cave.
Everyone looked desperate and barely dared to breathe.
Lance had no choice but to smooth things over and said, "Don't be too pessimistic, everyone. The draft we sent out today should still attract a lot of viewers."
"It's useless!"
As he spoke, Rob Egger swept the tea cup in front of him to the ground and said impatiently: "Just this crappy lottery has directly made the scalpers of "Iron Man" raise the ticket price to 300! Now everyone is I feel that buying tickets for "Iron Man" means making money!
Under this kind of brainwashing offensive, who will buy our tickets?
And now, in order to make more money, theaters have allocated all the films they promised us to "Iron Man". Even if someone wants to see our film in the next few days, they will have no choice but to choose other movies because there are no films scheduled! "
“It’s so fucking deceiving!!!”
Everyone in the conference room showed embarrassed expressions.
In fact, everyone originally expected that the box office of "Iron Man" would plummet as soon as "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" was released. Then, in order to make money, movie theaters did not schedule any movies for "Iron Man". Finally, in After Chen Mo did countless useless efforts, he was unable to struggle and watched with hatred.
But reality slapped these people hard!
The positions of both parties were directly reversed.
The hunter became the hunted.
And this was just based on a lottery organized by Chen Mo!
It is enough to show how profound Chen Mo is in the field of hype!
At this time, the management said angrily: "The theater chain is also a dog. Just to make more money, they even abandoned the old guys who have worked with it for many years! If it doesn't work, we will also give a 100% guarantee. We must not let Chen Mo show off his power like this!"
Lance thought to himself, an old friend who has been working together for many years?Who is your old friend?Hasn't it been that Haolaiwu has been in a strong position for so many years, while the theater chain has been in a low position?Why don't you be friends with others when you make money?Now that I have lost money, I remember that the relationship between the two parties is equal?
And Rob Egger said: "The 100% guaranteed money is probably not enough. After all, the attendance rate of "Iron Man" is 100%, and they can make so much money, and it is upright and aboveboard.
If you want to make this kind of money from us, you have to look at my face, which is against morality.
Theaters are not fools. "
Then the boss who invested in the movie was stunned and suddenly felt a little wilted.
Not even giving 100% guaranteed money?
Then this is too scary!
Before, even if they were given a 20% guarantee, many theater chains would rush to do it!
"Then what should we do? Wait to die?"
The employer boss said in frustration.
"Throw money!"
Rob Egger sighed and said: "All we can do now is to spend money on the hospital to buy films."
Capital boss: "How much is appropriate?"
Rob Egger: "150 percent."
"Sigh~~~~~~"
The employer boss took a deep breath when he heard this number.
What does the 150% guaranteed money mean?
Even if the attendance rate is 100%, they still have to pay half of the money for every movie ticket sold!
What's more, it is impossible for "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" to achieve 100% attendance.
How terrible is this loss?
"Can I not pay for this money?"
The employer boss hesitated.
He really didn't want to continue spending money, the losses were too great.
Rob Egger smoked a cigarette and said helplessly: "I don't want to pay for it either. But if we don't pay for it, our movie won't gain any popularity at all, and it will be difficult to release it abroad.
Don’t forget that “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” still has a huge market in foreign countries, and we can still make money back through foreign markets. "
This already shows that... Rob Egger has no confidence in the domestic market.
Upon hearing this, the employer boss nodded helplessly: "Then pay, but let me explain first that this is the last time I pay."
Rob Egger nodded: "Well, once our movie box office exceeds 1 million, we will quickly discuss the introduction with other countries. The price can be higher, and the money can be recouped."
After some final discussion, the developers of "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" decided to invest another 6000 million Hegemony coins to raise the movie's box office to 1 million.
After Lance got this bargaining chip, he felt confident enough to discuss with the theaters.
He found Diberg.
Diberg clearly felt that Lance's attitude was better than before.
There was a smile on his face, he nodded and bowed when he spoke, and his attitude was no longer domineering.
Lance: "President Diberg, I have great news!"
Diberg: "Just tell me."
Lance: "We have decided to give you 100% of the guaranteed money, and we want the theater chain to arrange more films. We have cooperated for so many years and will continue to cooperate in the future. I hope that you, the president, will give me some face."
Diberg smiled: "Lance, it's not that I don't give face. The attendance rate of "Iron Man" has been 100% these days, and several performances were even temporarily added.
You give the theater chain 100% of the guaranteed money, but the theater chain does not make any money, and even has to bear moral baggage.
Haha, cooperation is not a cooperative method. "
Lance thought for a while with an embarrassed look on his face, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this. I'll apply with the leader to add 10% of the guaranteed money to the theater chain. What do you think?"
Diberg thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, you give 120% of the guaranteed money, and I can arrange half of the films for you.
Chen Mo is now cooperating very closely with the theater chain. You also know that the Moxun online ticketing system is being quickly connected, which has indeed saved the theater chain a lot of expenses, and the theater chain is not easy to offend him.
This is already the highest schedule I can promise, and there is nothing I can do if there is more. "
Lance had no choice but to say: "Okay, 120% of the guaranteed money, half of the film arrangement, we must not break our promise this time!"
Diberg: "Don't worry, as long as you don't cause trouble again, our theater chain will not break its promise."
Lance left Diberg's house and immediately called Rob Egger:
"Hey, boss, we have negotiated with Diberg. He said that he can only give half of the film schedule, because he can't afford to offend Chen Mo. This is the maximum condition that can be given."
"Well, yes, it's 150% of the guaranteed money, not a penny less!"
He himself can brag that he made 3000 million yuan at the box office in one day, but at most he will be scolded by the people for bragging and not paying taxes.
But the media cannot follow him and tell lies!
