Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 392 Acquisition of Cinemas, Directors Guild Meeting (Please recommend and collect)

Chen Ya thought for a while and said: "I estimated that at least one billion is needed, because among the 38 theaters, [-] are owned by Huayi itself, and the other [-] are rented venues."

Yang Mi thought for a while, and said: "Sister Ya, I will leave this matter to you. The funds will be directly transferred from the company's palm. It is best if it can be done, and if it doesn't work, forget it."

Seeing that Yang Mi had directly made a decision, Chen Ya tentatively asked: "Such a big matter, do you want to discuss it with your family, after all he..."

"I'll tell him when I get back. There will definitely be no problem with him." Yang Mi said with a confident smile.

Sure enough, after Yang Mi told Zhang Xiao about this matter, he didn't take it seriously at all, Yang Mi still had to make her own decision.

At the beginning, because of the conflict between Chen Gang and Zhang Xiao, Sunny Entertainment and Huayi Entertainment became deadly rivals. After learning that Chen Ya wanted to buy her own cinema, Huayi's big boss, Wang Jun's first reaction was to refuse.

But when the words came to his lips, Wang Jun swallowed them back abruptly. Huayi is now at a critical moment. They have borrowed money from countless friends, but they still haven't been able to plug the hole.

If the theater is sold, it will undoubtedly completely relieve the company's financial pressure.

After Wang Jun procrastinated for a few days, he found that he really had no other choice, so he had to sell 10.8 theaters to Sunny Entertainment Company for 38 billion.

With these theaters and a 5% stake in Longda Cinema, Sunny Entertainment has gained a firm foothold in the industry, attracting the attention of countless artists, and receiving nearly a hundred resumes alone.

It's a pity that Sunny Entertainment has no plans to recruit people at all, and has always maintained a situation where there are more meat and fewer wolves. Worry about which one to choose.

This made the outside artists extremely envious.

Of course, these are all later stories.

After more than half a month of release, the box office of "Operation Red Sea" has exceeded 47 billion, and it is still increasing at a rate of 2 million per day. There is still no problem with "Zha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".

"The Mermaid" also got 18 billion, so there shouldn't be any problem breaking through the 3000 billion mark.

For a film with an investment of only 20 million yuan, the box office performance of [-] billion yuan is already very impressive.

The worst thing is "The Great Fortress". Amidst the scolding of fans all over the country, it only got less than [-] million box office. Fortunately, it didn't even have pants.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Xiao participated in the annual commendation meeting for the first time as the vice president of the Huaguo Directors Association.

There were quite a few works by Zhang Xiao last year, but only "Wandering Planet" was actually screened, so he didn't win any awards.

After the commendation meeting, the Directors Association convened more than 40 directors to discuss the problems existing in Huaguo films and the solutions to them.

After listening for more than an hour, Zhang Xiao felt quite enlightened.

There are many problems mentioned by everyone, but basically there is no solution, and even if there is, it is the kind that cannot be implemented at all.

Therefore, in Zhang Xiao's view, such a meeting is too formalistic and a waste of time.

"Vice President Zhang, this is your first time attending a meeting. If you have anything to say, you can speak freely." Teacher Li Hong, who presided over the meeting, looked at Zhang Xiao and said with a smile.

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the young Zhang Xiao who was a bit too much, but he was the No.1 movie ticket.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Everyone is a senior in the film industry. They see more thoroughly than me, think more deeply than me, and have their own unique indirect knowledge of the development of the entire Huaguo film industry. Stop being ugly."

"You are too modest, Zhang Xiao." At this moment, Zhang Yimou said, "Looking at the entire Huaguo entertainment circle, who dares to say that their abilities are better than yours? Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Oscar for Best Actor , Oscar for best film, these three awards are not for everyone."

President Li Hong also smiled and said: "That's right, President Zhang, you are a young man, and your ideas must be different from those of us old men. You can't hide your secrets!"

"I don't have anything private to hide!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile, and then said: "Well, since I have to say it, then I will throw bricks and attract jade."

"I think the top priority of Huaguo's entertainment industry is to greatly improve the salary of film screenwriters."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all the people present were shocked, and they looked at Zhang Xiao's sunny and handsome face in unison.

Zhang Xi continued: "An excellent movie script may not necessarily produce an excellent movie, but an excellent movie must come from an excellent movie script."

"Scripts are the basis of all creations, but now the remuneration of these screenwriters is a bit too low. An actor's salary can get several million, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions."

"But what about screenwriters? Even if it's a well-established screenwriter, the maximum is no more than 200 million, and most of them are below 20, let alone newcomers. Thank goodness if you can get [-] to [-]."

"If things go on like this, no one will be willing to enter the screenwriting industry, and then our film industry will inevitably have big problems."

After listening to the great director Chen Kaige, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and said excitedly: "Zhang Xiao is too right. I really couldn't find a good script these years, so I had no choice but to write the script and shoot it myself. If the screenwriting industry can flourish, there is no need for us to worry about the project!"

Wu Jin, who just joined the Directors Association, also said, "I completely agree with President Zhang, but what should we do?"

"It's very simple." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Our Directors' Association and the Performing Arts Association have joined forces to set a minimum amount for a script and force all producers to implement it."

"For example, we can stipulate that the minimum amount for a script is 50. A new screenwriter writes a script and the producer looks good. If he wants to buy its copyright, he must pay a minimum of 50."

Wu Jin asked again: "What if the producer disagrees?"

There was a coldness in Zhang Xiao's eyes, and he said: "Then block this producer, and the theaters will no longer show any of its movies. I believe that as long as an early bird is killed, no producer will dare to do this." Done."

Zhang Yimou put forward different opinions and asked: "What if the producer is poor and can't even afford 50 yuan?"

Zhang Xiao laughed after hearing this, and said: "It's simple, just pay the IOU, and wait until the movie is released to earn back the money, and then repay the loan."

Chairman Li Hong pondered: "This matter involves a lot, and I'm afraid we still need the Department of Culture to take the lead!"
