Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 44 44. Now they are begging me

Star Cinema is going crazy with joy.

Theater manager Jiang Hao looked at the data on the Internet and smiled from ear to ear. This movie really exceeded his expectations.

He quickly collected the information and ran to the boss's office.

Knocking on the door, he saw Wang Chenghan chatting with Wang Anrou, but Jiang Hao couldn't care about anything else. After saying hello, he said with excitement: "Mr. Wang, Ghost Record is so popular. Now many netizens are asking for it online. Let’s increase the number of films arranged.”

"We have mentioned in the morning that 22% is still not enough to sell. After all, it is a seller's market now. We are the only theater in the country to choose to show it. The demand is far from keeping up. I suggest that we can increase the number of films and do more publicity."

In the past, the number of films scheduled was small, probably only two or three shows a day, and not necessarily all of them were prime time. But even so, the attendance was always full.

The theater chain is not a charity, it is all about "money". Since the market feedback for this movie is so good, there is no reason not to expand the number of films to make more money!

Wang Chenghan was surprised after hearing this. He is now older and rarely surfs the Internet, but he did not expect this to be the case.

He sighed slightly: "I originally thought it was just to give Wei a face and do a favor, but I didn't expect that we would get such a big benefit. If that's the case, let's increase the film schedule and increase it to 36%."

Jiang Hao nodded.

36% is already the number of films scheduled for top blockbusters, and "The Broken Hand" is only 38%. However, in Jiang Hao's view, "The Ghost Story" has greater potential than "The Broken Hand" and is likely to counterattack.

With that said, he ran out to make arrangements.

"I didn't expect that he really once again leveraged such a huge box office at a negligible cost." Wang Anrou admired.

She couldn't sleep after watching the movie last night. On the one hand, she was scared, and on the other hand, she was conducting a comprehensive review of the movie. She wanted to study why it was so effective.

Finally, let’s take a look at Chen Li.

What shocked her was that this guy had only debuted for a month and had no previous experience in related industries, yet he had made two very controversial movies with explosive reputations.

Wang Anrou thought of the graduation film she directed, and also wanted to start with a small cost. She was a little proud at the time, but now she compares it with Chen Liyi.

It’s totally unacceptable. It’s too immature and makes you look very student-like at first glance!

Wang Anrou felt that her pride was shattered.

"Don't be depressed. I believe you won't be worse than him in the future. By the way, how about I invite him here so that you can meet and talk. I haven't bothered about the fact that he scared my sweet granddaughter to faint. What's wrong? Do I need to teach you some tips on being a director?" Wang Chenghan said.

Wang Anrou pursed her lips, knowing from her grandfather's words that subconsciously she was still not as good as that young man.

But if we can communicate.
Wang Anrou admitted that she was a little moved.

At this moment, Wang Chenghan's cell phone rang. When he picked it up and looked at it, he raised his eyebrows.

A hearty laugh came from the other party: "Hey, Lao Wang, what are you doing? Do you want to come out for tea? I recently found a very good teahouse?"

Wang Chenghan said with a smile: "Ah, it turns out it's Lao Zhou. He's busy. If you have any questions, just tell me. Let's drink tea next time."

"What are you busy with? Isn't it possible that "The Ghost Story" won't be broadcast? We are old friends for many years. How about we join forces with the theater chain to help you share the pressure?"

"I don't know you, Lao Zhou, how can you have such good intentions? Isn't it because this movie is so popular now and you want the right to screen it? Why do you need help?" Wang Chenghan mercilessly exposed his words.

Zhou Peng, the boss of the United Cinema Line, was not embarrassed: "Hey, you can't blame me for this. Originally, that young man came to our theater chain to seek cooperation. I was not there at the time, but the theater manager who had no vision actually refused. He was so angry. Kill me."

Wang Chenghan shrugged: "So, then I have to thank you for giving our Star Cinema the opportunity to broadcast this exclusively." "Ahem. You're welcome. I think you are almost full. This cake is so big. , let’s make money together.”

Wang Chenghan smiled and said: "I can't make the decision on this. If you want the screening rights, I can give you the contact information of that young man, and you can ask him to cooperate."

"That's all I want."

Zhou Peng hung up the phone with a smile, and then his face darkened. He looked at the theater manager standing in front of him and couldn't help but rant again.

After Wang Chenghan hung up the phone, several people from the theaters called him soon, all asking for help.

This made him extremely happy. In the past, his theater chain was small and they were always crowded out by them, but now everyone has to beg him.

Wang Chenghan felt more and more that his decision at that time was clear.

But he also knew that he couldn't eat alone, and the market was too big for him to eat.

That afternoon, Chen Li was visiting Liu Wanxin's studio, and his cell phone kept ringing. Managers from major theaters came to discuss cooperation.

Liu Wanxin looked at him in surprise, and she was really going to get angry now.

Chen Li didn't show any surprise. Seeing Wang Li there, he calmly handed her the phone.

"Sister Wang, please help me handle this."

As an agent, she has more experience in negotiating this kind of thing, and Wang Li certainly doesn't mind. After all, Wanxin still gets a share of the movie this time. Although it's not as much as last time, as long as the box office rises, how much money can be made?

Chen Li only has one request, that is, the box office will only be shared 45% by theater lines.

Wang Li took a breath: "Isn't this too little? Nowadays, theaters take 50% to 55%. You will almost cut off 10% of their income with this knife."

Chen Li grinned and said, "They are begging me now, not me begging them."

Thinking of how he had been perfunctorily invited out when he went to the cinema to discuss cooperation, Chen Li became furious.

Okay, okay. If you don’t cherish the opportunity given to you, then don’t blame me for being evil.

Wang Li contacted the managers of several theaters and agreed to meet at Liu Wanxin's studio. The other party came quickly and it was obvious that she was in a hurry.

Now that the market environment is great, if it is released a minute earlier, it will make money! !

They had also thought about it, and they immediately laughed and apologized for their previous arrogance. He should be satisfied with their low profile towards such a new director.

But when they arrived at the conference room, they realized that there was not even a trace of Chen Li, which felt like a punch on cotton.

When Wang Li revealed her conditions, the theater managers were furious.

"Without such conditions, 45% is impossible!"

"Yeah, this is a bit too much!"

"Sister Wang, if he doesn't understand as a newbie, how can you still understand? You can't let him run wild!"

"Although his movie is very popular now, we can't just wait for the price."
