That night.
In a private room of a high-end hotel in the Imperial Capital.
The room was bustling with noise, and the atmosphere was very lively as people toasted each other.
The director of I Only Like You, Wu Kai, the producer, Liang Biqin, and the other main actors and crew were all present. A shrewd middle-aged man in an Armani suit was sitting in the main seat. He was Cui Zhihao, the manager of House of Millions Cinema.
House of Millions Cinema ranked first in the national box office rankings with a revenue of 3.8 billion yuan. For a movie, the cinema manager could be said to be in control of the movie's first day of screening.
Once Cui Zhihao was settled, the guarantee of the box office was almost half a success.
In the circle, in order to get a higher number of screenings, accompanying people for meals and drinks were child's play. Naked "bribery" such as rebates and red packets had long become the norm in the industry, even in the first-tier Imperial Capital.
At the dinner table, Director Zheng Kangde enthusiastically toasted Cui Zhihao. "Come, Manager Cui, let me toast you again. Our movie depends on you!"
Zheng Kangde said as he gave Liang Biqin a look. Liang Biqin immediately went over to pour a glass of wine for Cui Zhihao, her heaving chest rubbing against Cui Zhihao's arm.
Another actress was not to be outdone and flattered Cui Zhihao in a different way. "I've long heard that as long as a film is favored by Manager Cui, it will definitely be a hit!"
Zheng Kangde immediately echoed, "Manager Cui is the wind vane of our industry!"
On Cui Zhihao's left was Liang Biqin, and on his right was a beautiful second female lead. They hugged each other, their faces flushed. He laughed and said, "What are you talking about, Director Zheng? Director Zheng's film has a novel theme and the audience is all young people. It's currently the main force in the box office. Not to mention the actors and actresses, the publicity is so awesome. Even if you didn't mention it, I would definitely give priority to it!"
"Manager Cui, you're really overpraising me. In the end, you're the one who decides what film the audience wants to watch in the cinema. No matter how good our film is, it can't do without your support!" Zheng Kangde saw that the atmosphere was about right, so he leaned over and secretly showed five fingers to Cui Zhihao. "As long as Manager Cui fully supports me, I can make the decision here and give you this amount directly!"
Cui Zhihao saw the number Zheng Kangde showed and his eyes immediately lit up.
This meant that they were going to give him a 5% rebate!
Under normal circumstances, if the film distributor wanted to "cooperate" with the cinema, the cinema would increase the number of screenings of the film appropriately, but the premise was that they would receive a certain amount of box office rebates, also known as "red packets."
Most of the gray income fell into the hands of the theater managers.
In the industry, the rebate in most cases was 3%, so Zheng Kangde's offer could be said to be very sincere.
With Zheng Kangde's movie's investment, Cass, and popularity, a box office of 300 million yuan was guaranteed. According to the 5% rebate, he could get tens of millions of yuan!
Thinking of this, Cui Zhihao immediately smiled and said, "Director Zheng, don't worry. I can give you this number!"
Cui Zhihao also showed Zheng Kangde five fingers.
A 50% screening rate!
Zheng Kangde immediately showed a satisfied and delighted expression. "Manager Cui, you're indeed straightforward!"
In the current market environment, if a film could occupy more than 30% of the screenings, it meant that it had 50,000 screenings per day. It was definitely at the level of a blockbuster. Even Hollywood blockbusters that were popular some time ago only had 50% of the screenings.
