Chapter 538 537. A difficult decision

   "Brother Li, what's the situation?"

  Lu Bian listened to "Unforgettable Tonight" and Qin Tiantian's mobile phone constantly ringing for red envelopes, and called Li Zijian to confirm.

"That's it, the weather station has observed that the snowstorm is intensifying. From tonight to tomorrow, there will be a huge snowstorm in most areas of the country, so an early warning is sounded, and our theater chain has received a notice to postpone all movies, other Shopping malls and restaurants are expected to be notified one after another.”

  Li Zijian's voice was a little hoarse, obviously not resting well. On the other side of the phone came the voices of his wife and children, unaware of the current situation, still laughing and laughing.

   "It's just that the postponement may not be so simple. There are also blockbusters in foreign cooperative theaters that are closed. If you want to release on time, there is no hope at present."

   Hearing Li Zijian's words, Lu Bian was silent for a moment.

   "I'll think about the countermeasures, and I'll call you later. By the way, Brother Li, happy Spring Festival."

   ". Well, Happy Chinese New Year."

  Li Zijian hung up the phone and returned to the living room.

   "Why, which little sister are you calling so late?"

   Wife teased.

   "Lu Bian, about his movie, the movie may not be able to be released on the first day of the new year."

   Li Zijian replied.

   "Huh? Isn't that a lot of money lost?"

   Her wife was also worried.

   "He usually divides the accounts normally. If he can't show it, he will indeed make a lot of money less. This time the special effects are so good, and there are expenses for publicity, maybe he will lose money."

   Li Zijian calculated casually in his mind, Lu Bian would lose at least several hundred million in this wave.

   But when he sympathized with Lu Bian, Li Zijian thought about it, Lu Bian's previous movies had made billions of money, and even this blood loss would be a bit damaged.

   He thought for a moment that the clown was himself.

   "The postponed screening usually has to wait for the next schedule, and the consumption and rights disputes are troublesome enough. I don't know how he will deal with it."

Li Zijian's scalp is also numb. Cinemas are an important source of income for Jiangcheng Industry. If the heavy snow continues, the commercial plazas of Jiangcheng Industry will also be affected. The Spring Festival is the best time for revenue, and now everyone can't go out. Expect to lose a lot.

   The bigger problem is yet to come.

  Compared to these, whether the movie can be released on time is no longer the point.

   Just then, Li Zijian's phone rang.

   When he saw that it was Lu Bian's call, he answered the phone immediately, and went to the balcony where the windows were closed, and only the wind and snow knocked on the windows.

  The balcony is a little cold, but Li Zijian is very nervous now. He doesn't know what measures Lu Jian will choose, but after thinking about it, there is no other way but to postpone it. There is only such a choice, and he is relieved.

   "How about it, if it is postponed, I will communicate directly with the person in charge of the theater chain. Our time zone here is relatively early, so there will not be any problems of early screening, it is the compensation for the tickets sold in advance"

   Li Zijian started chatting, but Lu Bian quickly interrupted him.

   "Brother Li, I have decided not to postpone the release."

   Lu Bian said firmly.

   "Yes, you can refund the ticket, or you can keep it until after the release, we should be able to afford it. Wait, what are you talking about?"

  Li Zijian said a few words along the way before he came back to his senses.

   "The release will not be postponed."

   Lu Kizuna repeated again.

   "But the cinema will definitely not be opened, and I estimate that those audiences will not go out to go shopping, which will cause a lot of trouble!"

   Li Zijian had never encountered such a situation, so he didn't know what Lu Bian was thinking.

   "I know that you may have invested a lot of money in this movie, but the delay is not that it will not be released, but it can still make money. We have to get through this now and don't act impulsively."

   He persuaded, for fear that Lu Bian was a young man who wanted to make some big news or something.

   "Brother Li, calm down."

  Lu Bian instead persuaded Li Zijian to come.

   "Grass, I'm very calm, you should be calm, even if you don't discuss the money issue, if you let someone go to the cinema with such a heavy snow, what should you do if there is an accident in the middle, you can't ignore other people."

   Li Zijian cried, and even his wife came over and looked timidly.

   "Don't worry, the audience doesn't have to go out to the cinema."

   Lu Kizuna replied.

"what?"

   Li Zijian didn't understand at all.

   "Brother Li, please help me contact the TV station and major video websites. Find a time that can be broadcast tomorrow, and the whole network and the TV station will broadcast simultaneously."

   Lu Bian's words caused Li Zijian's brain to shut down completely.

   TV?

   Video site?

   Simultaneous broadcast?

   What is this person saying?

   I know every word, how come I can’t understand it when I connect it?

   "You, calm down, don't be impulsive. Do you want me to go to your place now, I should be there in half an hour by car."

   Li Zijian's mind just started to work.

  The movie that was originally going to be released in theaters was transferred to TV stations and video websites, and the problem was much more serious than the delay.

First of all, each movie theater spends money on the movie. After it is played for free, these pre-sale tickets will definitely be refunded, and the income after the movie will definitely be greatly reduced, especially for such a large-scale movie by Lu Bian. It means that tens of billions of industry revenue will go to waste.

  Secondly, when something like this happened, Lu Bian would definitely have to compensate these theater chains, which was another huge expense, and those theater chains wouldn’t necessarily agree. It’s hard to negotiate in such a short period of time.

   In the end, it's still such a short time, the video site is fine, and the TV station may not necessarily have a schedule for Lu Bian to show it. In Li Zijian's view, if Lu Bian's plan can be realized, it must be a miracle, and there must be more than one.

   "Brother Li, I have a very clear mind. I think now is the best time to do this. You don't have to worry about money, as long as you can guarantee that the movie will be released tomorrow."

  Lu Bian talked to Li Zijian for a while, and when it was a little bit faster, he hung up the phone.

   His idea was simple.

  My own film is for more people to see and change their worldview and cognition.

   In this case, in this wind and snow, like doomsday, this movie will definitely bring you a deeper feeling.

   It is precisely because human beings are in distress that this movie facing disaster is more needed.

Therefore, Lu Bian does not need to make money. As long as it can be broadcast on TV stations and video websites, most people can see this movie, which is considered as a gift from Lu Bian to everyone in the snow. Spring gift.

   At three in the morning, on Weibo, forums, the official websites of major movie theaters, and social media, "Doomsday" will cancel its theatrical release, and the news that it will be released on TV and video sites on the first day of the new year will be announced.

   There was an uproar.
