Josen was also very moved when he recalled the recent discussions within Warner.

Without enough theater resources, Fireflies are too united.

Just like there is no way to intervene in the acquisition, Firefly is a one-man show. As long as Lehman doesn't nod and dig up the management, it won't be a damn injury... Besides, Warner doesn't have more preferential conditions to dig.

There are some real power inside them, and there have been people who have already been poached. Could it be that they are just offering them?

Isn't it realistic?

Alas, let’s go back and continue discussing. Who made him just an executive in the production department and didn’t have a complete control over his department? How about the development of a project like Batman?

......

Just when Josen was depressed when he was running errands for himself and had no right to decide, Joseph knocked on the office door and reported some work to Lehman.

It's mainly about "The Deadly Magic".

Lehman looked up and listened slowly.

In fact, it is some of the screening plans that Liam communicated with theaters, and he needs his consent.

"...This weekend, the number of screens of "Deadly Magic" will increase to 3,100. In terms of copy, Blue Butterfly Pictures is already preparing..."

After hearing this, Leman said with a funny look: "Isn't this kind of thing expected? The theaters are much easier to deal with than the six major ones. For the sake of their interests, it is easier for them to make the most correct choice."

"Boss." Joseph also said lightly: "This wave of increase in cinema resources should be able to stabilize the subsequent screening formats, but they will still give priority to the top six. After all, there are not many choices in September."

"Haha, of course I know, but," Lehman couldn't help but laugh, "Don't forget the new and old things?"

The new line took more than ten years to lay the foundation, but relying on continuous small-cost profits and good production output, it quickly became the new favorite in the theater market.

If it weren't for the failure later and the profits of theaters could not be given to theaters, I guess they would be able to fight with the six major players during the schedule.

As long as the movies have market prospects, theaters are still easier to talk to.

......

Let's turn our attention to the day when the first weekend of "Deadly Magic" was released.

If you win the weekly box office championship next year and have a good attendance rate, it will be in September. It is difficult to not attract the attention of theaters.

Of course, the chain theater chain dealers led by Emperor Entertainment and AMC cannot sit and watch the film's revenue slip away just like that, and they will soon unify their opinions to prepare to expand the release scale of the film.

In other words, adding more screens can make more money - in terms of market data, there is room for profit.

Los Angeles, Emperor Entertainment Division.

Oster sat in the boss's chair, tidied up his thoughts a little, and soon picked up the phone and called Liam, the president of Bluedie Film.

When the phone was connected, he heard the other side say, "Is there anything wrong, man?"

"You are always so direct. Of course, after discussion on the cooperation of "Deadly Magic", we decided to expand the release scale of the movie from Wednesday this week, so there are some details on the contract that need to be determined, and in addition, the copy needs to be prepared in advance." Oster also said straightforwardly.

"Oh, you continue to say that we will cooperate."

"In terms of screen canvas, it will expand to 3,100 stores, for at least three weeks. In addition, the number of screenings will be added to each chain of cinemas..." Oster briefly listed a few numbers, which are adjustments that they are very accustomed to.

For some more potential movies, more resources are needed.

From the perspective of theaters, this is a choice based on market feedback, which is an effective arrangement to win more box offices, not for friendship or something.

And for the studio, this is indeed a very gratifying thing.

Everyone knows that the amount of resource investment is intuitively representative of the market box office.

Of course, this is a win-win situation. With the box office high, everyone can share the money more easily. Who doesn’t want to make more profits?

Then, Oster habitually summarized: "For any money-making movie, Emperor Entertainment always opens its arms and warmly welcomes you. If there is no problem, the day after tomorrow, our people will come to help deliver the copy."

"Well, no one will refuse to make money." Liam replied.

Although Fireflies are still not particularly enthusiastic about the relationship with theaters, they are not the kind of dispensable small shrimps. A studio produces ten projects every year, which is already out of the ranks of small studios.

Who would have the heart to deliberately neglect such a money cow that is growing gradually?

Furthermore, the theater industry is not a monolithic part, and many independent theater industry vendors are also a big force together.

Moreover, Landie Film has long had a certain North American distribution capability, and exchanges and cooperation with theaters are not a problem. The rare thing is the priority and cooperation details.

As we all know, the contract sharing ratios that the six first-tier projects can obtain in theaters are always more favorable than other studios, but they are at a similar level for small and medium-sized costs.

However, in this regard, Landie Film is not very jealous. They think the real difference should be the thickness of resources.

For example, schedule selection, resource priority, such as the geographical location of the theater, the arrangement of screening time and the amount of promotional content within the theater.

These details are what many independent studios really value and strive for.

The movies produced by the same production are the best theaters, and the ticket sellers will actively recommend them. On the contrary, other studios do not have the convenience and cannot even squeeze into the summer and Christmas. This treatment is particularly troublesome.

Moreover, if the box office performance of the film begins to be weak and the reduction is faster than others, this difference is also common.

Of course, theaters are not stupid either. None of them is ruthless. If the six major projects are lost, they still have to make a place.

Therefore, Landie Film needs to do nothing more than gradually deepen the cooperation between the two parties, use its interests and production levels to continuously increase similar priorities, and strive for better resource tendencies.

This is definitely a long-term process, but you can get corresponding discounts at every step.

After talking about "Deadly Magic", Oster changed the topic, or based on the current production of fireflies, they are still somewhat competitive.

"What are your screening plans recently?"

"I will talk in detail then. Now it's a bit too early to say."

However, this answer also indirectly shows that Firefly does have an item.

Oster believes that with their current reputation and gradually accumulated advantages, the project output will definitely increase.

This is an inevitable process unless Fireflies are willing to be a small studio, of course there is no need to pay attention to production.

Because for theaters, it is stable and a studio that can provide enough projects in a year should give some special reasons, otherwise, why do they have to bear too much pressure and risks?

"Okay, the contract details, I will fax it later, and you will sign it and send it back."

After everything was made clear, Oster no longer got entangled and hung up the phone neatly.

At this time, Emperor Entertainment still attached some importance to the idea of ​​fireflies.

After all, their company is not very involved with the Sixth National Congress.

Moreover, it can be foreseeable that relying on the popularity of several directors, some aspects of Firefly already have great profit potential. Just like the DreamWorks, there are always projects that can make a lot of money.

The reason why more resource tilts and priority recognition has not been added is that such a model has certain disadvantages.

Like DreamWorks, Firefly has not strong resistance to stress. Once there is a problem with the project production, the capital chain will be broken.

At that time, it is probably difficult to survive.

The so-called prosperity and prosperity are the same as one loss.

Disney's profit model that does not rely on box office and offline, and the surrounding markets is not so easy to learn. There are also multiple channels, multi-mode sinking profits like Warner, Global, and Paramount, which cannot be caught up in a day or two.

Compared to them, the fireflies have a longer road to go.

Now, it can only be said that there are certain advantages in production, but it is not enough to have too much impact.

However, such results are also very exciting.

Are you a human being? You must always look at the long-term vision.

It depends on whether you can form your own pattern and go further?

If you have that kind of luck, isn't there no chance?

Immediately, the additional screening contracts for theaters such as Emperor Entertainment, AMC were quickly passed...
Chapter completed!
