When he got home, Xiao Yunhai saw Zhao Mingsheng and Xiao Yuanyang sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.
Xiao Yunhai took off his jacket and changed into his slippers. "Dad, Brother, you didn't handle this properly. You secretly attacked the cinema chains and didn't even tell me anything. It's too sad. "
Zhao Mingsheng rubbed his hands and revealed an awkward expression. "Yunhai, it's my fault. I should have told you in advance. It's just that we both signed a confidentiality agreement, and I was too embarrassed to tell you, so … "
Zhao Mingsheng didn't tell his son-in-law about this matter. It was indeed a little inappropriate.
The two of them were father and son-in-law, but Zhao Mingsheng hid such a big matter from him. Xiao Yunhai would be lying if he didn't feel angry.
Xiao Yuanyang didn't look guilty at all. "How did you know?"
"How would I know?" Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Do you think you're a piece of iron? Now, all the directors of Hua Xia cinema chains already know about this and are discussing countermeasures. "
Xiao Yuanyang said, "You don't seem to care too much."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then what should I do? Cry loudly or run around like a headless fly? Since I can't resist, I might as well cooperate. Besides, I'm a filmmaker first and a businessman second. This matter is very beneficial to the entire Hua Xia film industry. I don't want to be a stumbling block. " “
Xiao Yuanyang laughed and said, "Well said. I'm really happy that you have such an attitude. Yunhai, tell me the truth. On the first day of the New Year, did Chief One talk to you about this matter when he stayed in the courtyard for so long? "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He shook his head and said, "No."
Xiao Yuanyang sneered. "Don't lie to me. I heard from Old Master that Chief once asked you this question, and your answer was that the box office sales affected the development of the film industry, right? "
Xiao Yunhai couldn't help but say, "Old Master's confidentiality is too bad, isn't it?"
Xiao Yuanyang smiled proudly and said, "Sure enough. Hehe, I was just tricking you. Now it seems that my guess was right. Uncle Zhao, don't be too ashamed. Some people didn't tell us the truth either. "
Xiao Yunhai said embarrassedly, "Well, we're even. Don't blame anyone. Looks like you're already prepared for this. Hehe, this time, the capitalists of our cinema chains are dead meat. "
After Zhao Mingsheng and Xiao Yuanyang left, Zhao Wanqing, who had been sitting silently at the side, said to Xiao Yunhai, "Hubby, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my father."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Dad didn't do anything wrong. He was a sincere gentleman. Since he had made a promise to someone, he would definitely keep his promise. If I were him, I would do the same. Of course, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but it wouldn't affect our relationship. The distribution of the box office between the theaters and the producers was basically set in stone. There was no chance of luck. Our income will decrease by a lot. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Do you care about these things?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course I don't care. People say that one's position determines one's head. Sitting in a different position, one will have different views on things. In the past, I didn't care about the so-called righteousness at all. But now, I suddenly realized that I've changed. "
"Take this matter for example. I know very well that this adjustment will have a very negative impact on me, but I hope that they can succeed. Because I know how much this will benefit Hua Xia's film industry. Hehe, as long as this matter can be done, I'm willing to give up the shares of the new Hua Xia Cinema, let alone a mere share of the box office. Tell me, do you think I'm crazy? "
Zhao Wanqing's face revealed a proud expression. She stroked Xiao Yunhai's face with both hands and said, "My husband is not sick. He has a big heart and big spirit that can accommodate the world. Previously, many media outlets said that you were the number one person in Hua Xia's entertainment industry. To be honest, I didn't think so. But now that I see you making such a sacrifice for Hua Xia's movie, I realize that my husband is indeed worthy of being the number one person in Hua Xia's entertainment industry in terms of talent, ability, and magnanimity. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "I don't care about the number one person or the number two person. What I'm most concerned about now is when the child in your stomach will come out. I can't wait anymore. "
Zhao Wanqing gently rubbed her stomach and said, "I feel like they'll be out soon."
The couple chatted for a while before going to the bedroom to rest.
On the Internet, there was already a heated discussion about the Three Kingdoms.
All the fans who had watched "Battle of the Red Cliffs" that night had expressed their opinions on the forum.
"That's great. 'Battle of Red Cliff' is the best war movie I've ever seen."
"The production is excellent, the costumes are gorgeous, the battle scenes are extremely grand, and the special effects are meticulous. It's definitely a good movie."
"The actors in 'Battle of Red Cliff' are too good. All of them have a textbook performance. They have a good grasp of their roles."
"Watching 'Battle of Red Cliff' in the theater, I feel like I've returned to the exciting years hundreds of years ago. It's too real."
"I give 'Battle of Red Cliff' 9.4 points. There's no other word except for one word: good."
On the Internet, 1.634 million movie fans gave 'Battle of Red Cliff' 9.17 points. 142 movie critics gave it 9.25 points. It could be said that it was a flood of good reviews.
In just one night, the three 'Battle of Red Cliff's' box office earned 83 million yuan, breaking the record of a domestic movie's opening night. Of course, part of the reason was because the ticket price was 50 yuan, but ultimately, it was because of the quality.
The next day, Hua Xia Cinemas adjusted the number of films for 'Battle of Red Cliff' and gave it 7,000 screens. Almost every theater was sold out and the box office for that day reached 740 million yuan.
However, Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting weren't happy about this. Because on this day, the entire film industry experienced an unprecedented shock.
At 3 pm on February 28th, more than 60 directors of Hua Xia Cinemas gathered together and jointly held a press conference. They requested to change the box office quota system of Hua Xia Cinemas and movie producers to increase their profit share. They directly put the conflict between the movie companies and cinemas in front of the entire country.
As soon as the news was released, it appeared on the front page of all the entertainment media. In less than a day, it shocked the entire world.
At 7 pm, in the conference room of Hua Xia Cinemas, Starlight Cinemas' Ren Jiwen, Huafeng International Studios' Li Rongguang, Hundred Flowers' Wang Lu, Yu Hai, and Hu Yaoting gathered together.
When Li Rongguang saw the directors of the major film companies complaining about the unfair distribution of the box office, he slammed the table and said angrily, "We gave them the box office according to the international distribution standards. In the end, they actually said that we're blocking the development of Hua Xia Cinemas. This is simply ridiculous. Everyone, our Huafeng International Studios will definitely not give them the box office quota. What do you mean by this? "
Ren Jiwen took a sip of tea and said, "I represent the board of directors of Starlight Cinemas to say that we won't agree to their conditions. This is simply asking for our lives."
Wang Lu was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Her voice was very gentle, but her words were unusually sharp. She said, "The competition in the film industry is so fierce. Our Hundred Flowers Cinemas can't bear the consequences of a serious drop in the box office quota. Although I, Wang Lu, am a woman, I won't succumb to their threats. Mr. Yu, Mr. Hu, your new Hua Xia Cinemas is the largest cinema chain in the country. You won't just agree, right? "
Yu Hai said, "Of course not. It's just that the storm this time is too big. I'm worried that we won't be able to hold on for long. "
Li Rongguang narrowed his eyes and said, "Does Mr. Yu know some inside information? I heard that one of the shareholders of the new Hua Xia Cinemas, Xiao Yunhai, is a child of the Xiao Family. Xiao Yuanyang is his cousin? I wonder what he thinks about this? "
Hu Yaoting said, "The more he's from the Xiao Family, the more he can't say anything. He can only help neither side."
Wang Lu said, "I received a call from the general managers of the major foreign cinema chains today. They said that they have already informed their own government and are prepared to put pressure on the Hua Xia government to guarantee the legitimate rights of the foreign cinema chains. Hollywood is especially concerned about this matter. The American ambassador to China has already raised a protest. "
