Disaster Artist

Actually, Lu Qian didn't know what to do, but he knew that this was a battle of interests, and it was also a battle of momentum.

In the face of such giants as Beyond Cinemas, they have no bargaining power, and their only reliance is the thriving and strong box office trend of "Unfriending"; moreover, the cost of the movie has been fully recovered, even if there is no bonus from Beyond Cinemas, they will continue to do so in the future. officially entered the stage of profit.

The biggest difference is not in "earning more and earning less", but in the use of a platform that is beyond the cinema, to truly break the blockade of the streamer film industry, let Lu Qian enter the public eye, and pave the way for the next work.

Therefore, it is a fact that Lu Qian needs to break away from the cinema chain, but it is also a fact that he needs to "unfriend" to break away from the cinema chain. They expect the movie to drive a wave of box office.

In addition, there are also the crowd of veteran movie fans.

This is also the fundamental reason why Chaotuo Cinemas wanted to buy out the screening rights of "Unfriending". It bundled "Unfriending" with Chaotuo Cinemas in the form of a signature image, and further implanted the image of the cinemas in the minds of the public——

Chaotuo Cinemas wants to become a global chain version of the dome theater. As long as young literary and artistic people think of movies, they will think of Chaotuo Cinemas.

What Lu Qian is now betting on is that the Beyond Cinemas need this cooperation more urgently than they do.

So, he turned and left with extraordinarily firm footsteps, resolutely, absolutely not revealing any hesitation, but deep in his heart he was vaguely uneasy.

one step. Five steps. Ten steps.

Lu Qian and Ji Xu did not talk or exchange glances. The two good friends moved forward in silence because they both knew that this was a psychological war.

"Director Lu..."

In the end, Nong Chenjie still couldn't hold back. It wasn't because he lacked confidence, but because Lu Qian and Ji Xu's decision broke the balance. In an instant decision, he fell into a passive state, and then the words rushed out like this. .

At this time, Ji Xucai glanced at Lu Qian, but found that Lu Qian still did not respond, and continued to move forward.

Between the lights and flint, Ji Xu understood Lu Qian's idea - one sings the red face and the other sings the white face, they need to work together.

So Ji Xu stopped and Lu Qian continued on.

"Director Lu!"

Nong Chenjie chased after him and successfully blocked the way before Lu Qian pushed open the glass door, showing a warm smile.

"Director Lu, why are you so excited? Business shouldn't be like this."

Lu Qian didn't say a word, just looked at Nong Chenjie with a mocking smile, as if he wasn't relieved yet - he was in charge of singing his face to get angry.

Then Ji Xu, who sings a red face, needs to make an appearance.

"Mr. Nong, please forgive our anger."

"To be honest, we came here with respect, because we really like the cultural concept of detaching from the cinema, otherwise, we have already made follow-up plans, and then we will go to individual cinemas in other cities for exclusive screenings, let the film Being able to meet veteran fans.”

Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning could not have been clearer. "Unfriending" is not so embarrassing, and it is impossible for Liuguang Pictures to cover the sky with only one hand.

Moreover, Ji Xu also reminded that those who like to "unfriend" now are senior movie fans and young literary and artistic people, and they are precisely the target audience who are detached from the cinema.

"But if you want to buy out the screening rights of the movie, this is obviously a sad news for the audience."

Originally, Ji Xu was supposed to talk about numbers, but now, instead, Ji Xu was talking about culture and feelings, and then the white face next to him snorted coldly.

"18%? Mr. Nong really thinks we are newbies in Lanchuan."

Lu Qian gave Nong Chenjie a fierce look.

"If Mr. Nong really investigates clearly, he should know that we are not a sloppy bag. We did not expect to give us 50% of the dividends beyond the cinema, but the 18% figure is simply humiliating us."

50%?

The lion opened his mouth!

Nong Chenjie was also taken aback by Lu Qian's tone.

But Ji Xu didn't give Nong Chenjie time to think about it, and immediately continued, "Aqian, you have sincerity and patience when you go beyond the cinema, and we should also show our sincerity."

Then, Ji Xu looked at Nong Chenjie and showed a smile, "We all know that Chaotuo Cinema's love for movies is 100% sincere and cannot be expressed in percentages. We learned that you are willing to show 'Unfriend' I was very happy when I was there.”

"How about we take 40% of the box office dividends?"

Ji Xu's smile was extraordinarily warm and bright, like a fox looking at roasting chicken.

Nong Chenjie has already reacted at this time, after all, he is not a generalist.

But even if Nong Chenjie saw through the trick of Lu Qian and Ji Xu singing together, he had already lost his chance. When he shouted to stop Lu Qian, he had already revealed his urgency and desire to go beyond the theater line. It also means that he lost the initiative to negotiate.

Nong Chenjie narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that Lu Qian and Ji Xu, two unknown fellows, would not be stage fright at all in the face of a giant crocodile like Transcending the Cinema.

Thinking of it this way, they dared to challenge the streamer film industry, I am afraid it is not a reckless decision, plus the support of the dome theater...

At this time, Nong Chenjie's thoughts have completely gone wrong. Could it be that Lu Qian and Ji Xu have a great background?

An idea, a little deviation, and then it changes the track.

Many, many years later, Nong Chenjie said calmly in an interview.

"Indeed, when we met for the first time, I was completely fooled. I pretended to be a character~www.wuxiamtl.com~ was a bit condescending, but I didn't expect that cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, and it was my own self-inflicted cocoon. Go around."

"But I don't regret my judgment and decision, otherwise, how could I be friends with Lu Qian?"

Returning to the present moment, Nong Chenjie's mind was full of thoughts, and then he let out a breath, and he had already made a decision.

"Director Lu, why don't we start over? Start today's meeting from scratch?"

"Good morning, I'm Nong Chenjie, I'm afraid you are Director Lu Qian, right?"

Nong Chenjie stretched out his right hand and showed a big smile.

Lu Qian looked at Nong Chenjie's right hand stubbornly staying in the air, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then extended his right hand.

Half an hour later, Lu Qian and Ji Xu left the Chaotuo Cinema and reached a formal cooperation agreement——

There is no buyout of the screening rights, which is also the bottom line that Lu Qian and Ji Xu insist on, but they still get 35% of the box office dividends, and the corresponding is to give opinions on the number and time of the film arrangement, and hope that the detached theater line can be as good as possible in the gold Time slot.

Of course, detachment from the cinema is not without conditions. Although there is no buyout of the screening rights, they require at least a two-week window.

That is to say, in the next two weeks, "Unfriending" cannot be released in other cinemas-except the Dome Cinema, if Ji Xu signs contracts with other cinema chains, it can only be shown in two weeks at the earliest.

Both parties were very satisfied with the result, ended the meeting in a friendly atmosphere, and finalized the fate of "unfriending" for the next period of time.

Then, "Unfriending" will be officially released worldwide!

But I don't know, how did the streamer film industry feel when they heard such news?
