Chapter 461
In fact, it is normal to look at the film and television industry to score points in the film and television library. In other words, for the box office, film and television distribution companies will do everything they can.

There are endless methods of stealing box office, collecting points, and discrediting opponents.

But this time is different.

One is stealing the box office. Since the outbreak of the large-scale box office stealing incident two years ago, it has caused widespread dissatisfaction. Many people have come forward. In the end, the government issued a huge fine and severely punished the theaters and film and television companies that stole the box office. The company, so stealing the box office may still exist now, but it is almost impossible to steal the box office on a large scale.

And this time, the word-of-mouth of "Infernal Affairs" is really good, so it is difficult to discredit the opponent, especially when the opponent itself is not a small company, but a new force in the current circle, so, This is also difficult to do.

The rest is just scoring.

In fact, scoring points is still useful to a certain extent. Although it is difficult to deceive those experienced drivers, it can still attract some people.

However, it is still irrelevant.

The leak in the house coincided with the continuous night rain, and there is a saying that blessings never come singly, but misfortunes never come singly. Originally, such subsidiaries as Tianxing Cinemas and Tianxing Film and Television belonged to the same group company, they should be regarded as a family.

Just like the relationship between Tianhua Film and Television and Tianhua Cinemas.

For example, Tianxing Cinemas, basically if there are their own movies released in the same period, they will definitely have a bias in scheduling, and the same is true for Tianhua.

This time is no exception, Tianxing Cinemas did not release "Infernal Affairs", but gave it to "The Marginal Man", and Tianhua's side is the same, more resources are biased towards "Infernal Affairs".

However, the two theaters are actually quite different.

Tianhua Cinemas are all self-operated cinemas, while Tianxing Cinemas has many affiliated theaters.

If "The Marginal Man" can show a super hit, then these problems will naturally not exist, but "Infernal Affairs" has performed extremely well, and it has the tendency to become a phenomenon-level film, while "The Marginal Man" is Unsatisfactory, drive high and drive low.

Especially in the case of a huge difference in word-of-mouth, many people recommended the film "Infernal Affairs" to their friends.

Theater chains adjust their schedules based on various factors such as attendance rate. Now that "Infernal Affairs" is the best, other contracted release theaters have naturally started to adjust their schedules.

But Tian Xing did not.

Although Tianxing Cinemas also complained about this, it was nothing, after all, they were all subsidiaries of a group.

But those affiliated cinemas of Tianxing Cinemas are different.

Seeing a large number of people come, but because "Infernal Affairs" was not shown in their theaters, as a result, they were robbed of their popularity by other nearby competitors. The impact on revenue will naturally make the bosses who joined the theater feel pained.

They don't care if "The Marginal Man" is owned by the same company, because it really has little to do with them.

What they care about is their own interests. Originally, according to normal business rules, a movie as popular as "Infernal Affairs" would definitely get preferential treatment in the screening, but not only did they not, but even this movie couldn't be released in their theaters. .

The Spring Festival schedule was supposed to be a time of great harvest, but because of this, their business plummeted. Who can bear it?
And the key point is that this will make many people feel that the strength of their theaters is not good, otherwise, how could "Infernal Affairs", the most popular movie nowadays, not even be released.

Because the bosses who joined the theater expressed strong dissatisfaction, even many theaters began to have other thoughts.

A listed company like Tianxing Group can affect the whole body.

Originally, "The Marginal Man", Tianxing's annual masterpiece, invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the film, and it drove high and low, which already caused the share price of Tianxing Group to drop a lot.

Now all the bosses who have joined the theaters have expressed strong dissatisfaction. If the news is made public, it will be a huge blow to the stock price of Tianxing Group.

For example, if a movie does not sell well, it may only affect the stock price for a while. When the next movie hits the box office, the stock price will rise again, but theaters are different.

Once there is turmoil in the theater chain, the impact will not be temporary.

In the meeting room of the Tianxing Cinema Line headquarters, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Feng Tiangang is the CEO of Tianxing Cinemas. In fact, as the person in charge of the subsidiary, Feng Tiangang can be regarded as a vassal, and he never likes to be judged.

However, although he is a prince, he is still a high-level wage earner.

It's not that he objected to Tianxing Cinemas giving some preference to the films of Tianxing Film and Television, but he was opposed to the consistent attitude of the senior management of Tianxing Group.

Because in the past two years, the works produced by Tianxing Film and Television have not been very popular.

In fact, if that's the case, it's nothing.

Although it is quite normal for resources to be given to brother companies of the same group.

But what he dislikes the most is the battle of spirits!Yes, it's a battle of wills.

Tianxing did not say that it will not release films from other companies other than the works of Tianxing Film and Television, but it is targeted.

That is the Tower of the Sky!

From the very beginning, Ling Xiao Pavilion entered the blacklist of Tianxing Cinemas under the interference of the top management of Tianxia Group.

Feng Tiangang didn't pay much attention to this point before, because the Peak Tower hadn't made any achievements in film and television before.

However, from "The Iron Fist of Shame" to "My Sassy Girlfriend", these two unprecedentedly popular films, because of the "impulsivity" of the upper echelon, Tian Xing was unable to get a share of these two popular films.

Therefore, Feng Tiangang mentioned more than once before that if Tianxing Theaters wants to achieve better development, they should not have sectarian opinions, but because the people at the highest level gave orders, Feng Tiangang could not change all this at all.

As the CEO of Tianxing Cinemas, of course he looked at the issue from the standpoint of Tianxing Cinemas, the ass decides the head. As for Tianxing Film and Television, to be honest, Feng Tiangang really didn't care much.

But the arm can't break the thigh all the time.

However, this time, Feng Tiangang saw an opportunity, an opportunity to change.

"Tell me, what do you think of the feedback from the bosses who joined the theater?" Feng Tiangang glanced at the people in the conference room and said indifferently.

"Isn't this the first time? I remember that several times before, the bosses who joined the theaters expressed dissatisfaction, thinking that our Tianxing Cinemas had harmed their interests. But this time, the dissatisfaction has expanded to All franchise theaters, so I don't think this issue can continue to drag on." Gao Yang, as Feng Tiangang's direct descendant and the person in charge of the theater marketing department, naturally knew Feng Tiangang's thoughts, so he was the first to express his opinion.

"I agree with Minister Gao's opinion. This problem must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous." Another high-level minister nodded.
