On the other end of the phone, Lin Zhanbo was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile, "It's definitely not much less than Shanhai. If not 50%, it's at least 40%."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin. After the movie is over, I will definitely treat Mr. Lin and Mr. Tian to a meal to celebrate our friendship."

"Sure, sure." Lin Zhanbo responded happily on the other end of the phone. He made this call just to establish a good relationship with Shengshi Entertainment and completely put an end to the previous events. It would be best if Hu Xiaoxiao felt that he owed him a favor. The favor of a big boss cannot be bought with money.

Hu Xiaoxiao talked enthusiastically with Lin Zhanbo for a long time before hanging up the phone.

Then she sat in her office chair and thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called Tian Wanjie.

He opened his mouth with sincere thanks, "Just now, Mr. Lin from Shanhai told me that Baoguang Cinema Line will give more than 50% of its screenings to Baogang Superwoman 2. I didn't expect Mr. Tian to be so loyal. Mr. Tian, ​​the company is so happy to know this. They all said that the next time Baoguang invests in a movie, we at Shengshi will also give full sincerity, and exchange sincerity for sincerity..."

As soon as Hu Xiaoxiao opened his mouth, he directly confirmed that Baoguang Cinemas should allocate more than 50% of the screening time for "Baogang Superwoman 2".

No matter what Lin Zhanbo said to Tian Wanjie, he had to make it a reality now.

Originally, her biggest concern was the scheduling of the Baoguang Cinema Line, as Modern Kids had Baoguang's investment, so the scheduling would definitely favor it. Lin Zhanbo's call quickly opened her up to an opportunity.

Tian Wanjie on the other end of the phone was stunned. He had indeed considered giving "Bao Hong Kong Superwoman 2" more screenings; after all, no one would resist money. But 50% was out of the question. If he gave "Bao Hong Kong Superwoman 2" 50% of the screenings, what would happen to "Modern Kids"? The theater chain couldn't just schedule two films. What about the other films?

Also, what does Lin Zhanbo mean? Why did he come to Shengshi Entertainment to brag about him?

However, Shengshi Entertainment took this matter seriously. If he said no, wouldn't he offend others?

Just as Tian Wanjie was thinking quickly about how to tactfully tell Hu Xiaoxiao that there was no fifty percent chance of success, he heard Hu Xiaoxiao say.

"Tian Sheng is so sincere. After discussing it with Shengshi Company, we feel that we can't fail to show our support. Tian Sheng, I wonder if there is any opportunity for Shengshi Entertainment to cooperate with Jincan Film and Television. We can make a few more good films together and make money together?"

Jincan Film and Television is one of the largest film production companies in Baogang. Mingxu is signed with this film and television company. Jincan has many popular movie stars under its name.

Shengshi Entertainment has signed many artists, directors, and screenwriters, and is ready to go all out. However, Shengshi Entertainment's staff alone is still a bit insufficient. If it were to partner with another film and television company, it would not only pool the resources of both companies, but also allow more artists to appear on screen.

It is very common for film companies to transfer people to each other, which is also called resource exchange.

Tian Wanjie, upon hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words, thought he was looking for a resource swap between the two companies. Although he was the general manager of the cinema chain, and Jincan Film and Television were two separate subsidiaries, he also had a say in the Baoguang headquarters and received dividends. In other words, if Jincan Film and Television made money, he would also benefit.

Looking back, although "Modern Kids" had investment, the investment proportion was not large, and the benefits were far from comparable to the cooperation between the two companies.

Tian Wanjie quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and said with a smile, "Sister Xiao, it's great that you're sincere. How about this? I'll help connect you with Mr. Li from Jin Can and we can talk it over together."

"That's great." Hu Xiaoxiao quickly finalized the matter.

It not only helps "The Princess Weiyoung 2" get more screenings, but also finds a strong partner company, which is simply the best of both worlds.

I really should thank Mr. Lin.

However, when Lin Zhanbo learned about this a few days later, he was completely shocked. When had Shengshi and Baoguang secretly agreed to a partnership with Shanhai? If they joined forces, what would happen to Qilin Films?

Lin Zhanbo called Tian Wanjie and asked him indirectly, and when he learned that this matter was actually related to him, he felt like the sky was falling.

Instead of flattering the horse, he hit the horse's hoof!

If Qilin Film and Television knew that it was his doing, they would definitely report it to the board of directors.

Lin Zhanbo was uneasy.

Not only Lin Zhanbo felt bad, but the crew of "Modern Boys" also felt bad.

When they got the screening schedule, they felt like the sky was falling. Why did they have so few screenings?

Forget about Shengshi Cinemas, they have already announced that they will promote their own films. Forget about Shanhai Cinemas, they also said long ago that they would schedule more than 50% of the screenings for "The Princess Weiyoung 2". It is within their expectations to schedule the film now.

But who can tell them why Baoguang Cinemas schedules so few screenings for them?

In order to get the screening schedule of Baoguang Cinemas, their company agreed to give Baoguang Company an investment quota. Why are there still so few screenings?

The "Modern Kids" crew quickly approached Starlight Cinemas, hoping to schedule more screenings, but the company behind Starlight Cinemas had already agreed to a strategic partnership with Shengshi Entertainment, exchanging resources. The deal was already done. Furthermore, both films had already been screened, and while "Modern Kids" was certainly good, it fell short when compared to "The Princess Diaries 2." Furthermore, the two leading actors weren't as famous or established as Hu Xiaoxiao, so the decision was made.

A small film company with no background is so humble when facing powerful bosses.

In this world, the strong prey on the weak.

"I told you not to rush into the summer release schedule, but you refused to listen and insisted on doing it. You said fortune and wealth come from taking risks. Now, you've got the risks, but where's the fortune?" The producer was so angry that he slammed the table at the company's decision-makers. "Are all the other film companies that avoided the rush stupid? Are you the only one who's smart?"

The company's decision-makers were also troubled by this schedule, but they had their own ideas. "Do you think changing the release date will give us more screenings than this? Currently, except for Shengshi Cinemas, which has fewer screenings, Shanhai and Baoguang have a slightly larger schedule than normal."

Under normal circumstances, if several popular movies were released consecutively, "Modern Kids" would probably get the same number of screenings with its lineup, or even not at all. This is because Baoguang Cinemas also felt that they should take care of "Modern Kids" and reduced the screenings of other films to make room for "Modern Kids".

On the Shanhai Cinema side, because other than "The Princess Diaries 2", other films were more obviously disappointing, they also gave more credit to "Modern Boy".

"On the surface, we are in a weak position within a weak position, but on the other hand, as long as we can grab all the small share that slipped through the cracks of "Baogang Queen of Love 2", the box office will reach our expectations. Moreover, if the quality of "Baogang Queen of Love 2" is extremely good, it will be able to drive the overall market, and then we will also be able to get a share of the profits. Having said that, if the quality of "Baogang Queen of Love 2" is not good, Baoguang and Shanhai will definitely reduce their screening schedules, and we are the only movie that can quickly fill the position."
