Chapter 187: Cinema
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after a period of farewell, Chen Hao's family of three drove back, and when they returned to the imperial capital, it was almost seven o'clock.
Chen's father made a simple meal, and Chen Hao came to the TV after a few bites, because today is the official launch day of Haotian Film and Television's first TV series "Golden Branches".
For "The Desire of the Golden Branch", Chen Hao only provided the main line of the story, and in the end, Xing Aina led the company's screenwriting team to continuously improve and finalize the draft.
"Why did you remember to watch a TV series today?What kind of TV series is this?" Chen's mother was a little strange, and her son actually sat down to watch the TV series today.
"It's a palace fighting drama!" Chen Hao replied, "It was filmed by my company." ”
"Your company filmed it?" Chen's mother immediately sat down when she heard this, she had to support her son no matter what, "But what is a palace fighting drama?
"Almost!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll take a good look!" said Chen's mother, "No, I have to call my friends and let them see it too." ”
After saying that, Chen's mother was busy calling.
Chen Hao smiled and shook his head, the time came to eight o'clock, and "Golden Branch Desire" was officially launched.
At the beginning, Ruyue played by Yu Feihong directly killed Concubine Chen who wanted to escape from the palace, and on the other hand, the two show girls played by Dong Xuan and Yan Danchen rushed to the capital under escort.
On the way, I met the Tianli Sect who wanted to rob the show girl, but fortunately there was a guard to protect it, and after twists and turns, I finally succeeded in entering Beijing, and after layers of selection, I was able to enter the palace and began to learn etiquette.
The two also married Jin Lan because they helped each other in the disaster!
Soon, the two episodes ended, and Chen Hao asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
"The first time I watched the women fighting in the harem, I felt quite interesting. Chen's mother said.
"That's good. Chen Hao smiled, but what the result will be will have to be said tomorrow when the ratings come out.
It is now 2003, and the city network data used by the later generations of David TV has not been perfected until 2010.
At present, the data commonly used is generally the national network, that is, it covers the first, second and third-tier cities and rural areas in the mainland, which can be said to cover the whole country.
The next day, Chen Hao had not received the ratings data of "Golden Branches", but he first received the box office share of "Chainsaw".
Chen Hao instantly felt that it was a long drought, and immediately transferred 15 million to Li Mingqiao to pay off the arrears of the Dameitang townhouse.
"Brother, I received the money. Li Mingqiao called.
"Thank you, Brother Li, I'm only transferring it to you now. Chen Hao said.
"You're welcome, I'm not in a hurry to use it anyway, and it's okay to wait. Li Mingqiao smiled, but changed his words again, "Brother, do you still want that twelve-entry courtyard?"
Chen Hao, who now has money in his hand, said with a smile, "Of course, according to what I said before, I will give you 20 million directly, and you can help me get it all." ”
"Okay, I'm waiting for your words. Li Mingqiao smiled when he heard this, "But I still have to wait for more than half a year, and when a few departments move away, you can take them all, I will help you decorate it now, have you thought about what to do with it?"
Chen Hao was stunned when he heard this, buying this twelve-in courtyard house was actually more for investment, what was it used for, and he really hadn't thought about it, "Brother Li, what do you think?"
"If you don't have any specific plans, I'd suggest you use it to get a club. Li Mingqiao said.
When Chen Hao heard this, he remembered the four well-known clubs in later generations, but they obviously all had deep backgrounds, and Chen Hao didn't have this relationship for the time being, "Is this okay? Will anyone be looking for trouble?"
"Are you going to touch pornography, gambling and drugs?" asked Li Mingqiao with a smile.
"Of course not. Chen Hao immediately denied.
"That's fine, as long as you don't touch these, it's not a big deal, you can generally open this, and there won't be villains to mess with, of course, you still need to deal with it, but just leave it to me.
The most important thing is that you can not only make reasonable use of resources to avoid being abandoned, but also as a place for you to discuss business in the future.
And if it's okay, you can also bring your friends and girlfriends to play and relax. Li Mingqiao said.
Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, "That's okay, then it's going to trouble Brother Li." ”
"Rest assured that I will leave it to me, and I promise to satisfy you. Li Mingqiao said.
"By the way, Brother Li, I want to talk to you about the movie theater. Chen Hao said.
"What, do you want to buy a movie theater?" asked Li Mingqiao.
"Yes. Chen Hao nodded.
Movies are the core industry of the entertainment industry, and the cinema chain can be said to have mastered the lifeblood of the movie.
Crazy as Feng Cannon is also asking for film scheduling on Weibo, which shows the importance of cinemas.
And now is the time when the mainland has just carried out the reform of the cinema system, and the mainland film market is at a low point, and theaters can't make much money.
Therefore, after the relevant regulations were issued last year, it can only be said that the policy system has forcibly promoted the formation of the theater chain, unlike the hot film market in later generations, and everyone is desperately expanding the theater.
There are also reasons why Huayi and Guangxian don't have their own theaters, because when they develop, it is almost a hot period for the film market.
At that time, everyone knew that theaters made money, so if you wanted to buy a theater, no one would sell it to you, so you could only build it yourself, but this was undoubtedly a huge investment, and without strong funds, you couldn't play at all.
Only a company like Wanda, which relies on real estate, can make such an investment.
So, now 2003 is a good time, everyone is forced to set up a theater chain, and they can't make much money.
The cinemas are all in the hands of the government, which is likely to be a big burden now, so if he is willing to invest a large amount, Chen Hao feels that he can buy a regional cinema chain.
It is unrealistic to have a national cinema chain, after all, until later generations, only Huaying and Wanda really did this.
Therefore, Chen Hao felt that he could spend a high price to control a regional or provincial cinema chain.
With the Measuring Ruler Film Company in North America, he can continue to provide financial support for himself, which can make Chen Hao feel at ease and boldly spend money.
In this way, it can not only solve the trouble of the government, but also cooperate with the government to better develop and expand the theater chain.
Chen Hao doesn't want to be like Wanda, as long as he can rank in the top five in the future.
"Brother Li, I want to directly control the cinema chain in a province, do you think it's feasible?" asked Chen Hao.
Li Mingqiao was stunned when he heard this, "I'm not sure about this, but it definitely requires a lot of money." ”
"How much do you think it will cost?" Chen Hao asked directly.
"Now theaters can't make much money, so the price is not too high, and some places can't support it and even sell it, so if a provincial theater is a provincial theater, I estimate that it will cost about 100 million yuan. Li Mingqiao said.
Chen Hao has long been regarded as a long-term big customer by Li Mingqiao, so he has always paid attention to his needs, after Chen Hao showed interest in cinemas before.
Li Mingqiao has put a lot of effort into this aspect, so it is also a treasure.
