"Knock knock......" The office door suddenly rang.
Xu Zhi was looking at the financial statements of Evergrande Company during this time, and when he heard a knock on the door, he said, "Come in." ”
"Xu Sheng, this is Ms. Li Xinlian. Wang Liming walked in with a woman about 40 years old and introduced.
Li Xinlian walked to the desk and said, "Xu Sheng, hello." ”
Xu Zhi put together the report and said with a smile, "Ms. Li, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you. Li Xinlian sat down.
Xu Zhi said: "Ms. Li, I won't say much about it, this time I invited you from Wanwan to let you come to our new cinema line under Huang as the general manager, the specific situation, I think you should have been clear before you came here!"
"Mr. Wang has already told me, but he explained that there are some things that must be explained by you. Li Xinlian replied that she had passed many interviews before, and the position had basically been decided, and this time she met with the boss to say a process, but it must also be paid attention to, otherwise it is very likely that the embankment will be destroyed in the anthill.
"Okay, let me briefly say that this time Hutchison Whampoa Company invested hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire the former Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers cinemas, in order to rewrite the entire film market pattern in Hong Kong, my request is very simple, that is, after you are the general manager at that time, you should formulate a fair release system according to the situation of the Hong Kong film market, you can think about it slowly, and what ideas can be said. Xu Zhi explained simply.
After TVB's board of directors, Xu Zhi divided his shares of TVB into two parts, one of which was sold to Shao Yifu, making his own more than 20% of TVB's shares, and Hutchison acquired the other part, making Hutchison's shares more than 35%, so even if Shao Yifu's equity increased significantly, Hutchison Whampoa still had a veto power over TVB.
And in exchange, Shao Yifu also sold the cinema chain in his hand, he was originally ready to turn a big shadow into a small shadow, and the cinema assets on the Xiangjiang side are only the tip of the iceberg of his huge business empire, just Qingshuiwan Cinema, this piece of land is more valuable than the entire TVB, and in Nanyang, he himself holds more than 100 theaters and a large number of properties, TVB TV is only a drop in the bucket of his assets, otherwise in later generations, with the income of TVB, how could it be possible to build so many Shaw buildings in the mainland.
Getting wireless is more of an obsession for him.
Although he didn't get TVB in the real sense, it was enough for the time being, after all, although his value was high, he still couldn't compare to Hutchison Whampoa in terms of capital, and he and Xu Zhi had a word first, and he would cooperate with Wireless when Xu Zhi needed it, and Shao Yifu would manage it the rest of the time.
As for Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe Cinema Line, it is even simpler.
Not for sale?
Yes.
In the future, I will open another theater next to your theater!
The cinema property that will be repossessed in the future will not be rented to you again!
In the future, when our theater is established, all of your subsidiaries, including satellite subsidiaries, will not be allowed to be released!
Under pressure from many parties, coupled with the fact that the purchase price of Hehe Huang was okay, Zou Wenhuai had no choice but to agree.
And Li Xinlian in front of her is a professional manager invited by Xu Zhi from Wanwan, she once worked in the second largest cinema in the south of Wanwan, and all the conditions meet Xu Zhi's requirements, as for why please from Wanwan, it is because the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is too deep, and the capable one has already been infiltrated, even if you find someone of the same level from Xiangjiang now, it is very likely to obey someone's orders, if this situation really happens, it will seriously affect Xu Zhi's plan, so recruiting people from the outside has become the best choice.
Li Xinlian thought for a while and said: "Absolute fairness is impossible, how much investment in each film, starring, director, and type are important factors in determining whether it can succeed, I think we can set a rule, according to some investment in the film, starring and other factors to determine the number of screens released on the first day, and then the rules are simple, which movie has a good effect, we will push more resources, and obtaining benefits is the root of all rules!"
"Well said. Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I agree with the phrase profit first, but I want to make it clear, I like to make long-term investments, so short-term interests are not very important, the most profitable way for cinema companies is actually to start from the film company, which is absolutely not allowed, I don't do anything to quench my thirst." ”
"Understood. Li Xinlian nodded and said.
Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "I also have to pay attention to one problem, for the restrictions on big-name stars, you can't give the best discount just because the star is famous, and the content and other aspects should also be paid attention to, some movies that rely on stars to squeeze the audience's feelings are directly blacklisted for me!"
Although it is still early, but now set the rules, everyone can adapt, and this method can also suppress some special groups from entering the entertainment industry.
Xu Zhi then asked, "Does Ms. Li know about the multiplex cinema?"
Li Xinlian nodded and replied: "I know, this model is more popular in the United States at present. ”
Xu Zhi asked, "Do you think this kind of cinema can be popularized on a large scale in Xiangjiang?"
"I don't think it's good!" Li Xinlian shook her head and said: "Xu Sheng, the construction cost of multiplex cinemas is very high, and the cost of follow-up operation will be higher, and it can be popularized in the United States, because first of all, the United States has a large population, and at the same time, the number of movies produced by Hollywood every year is dozens of times that of Xiangjiang, and people have a lot of choices.
But Xiangjiang's is not good, although Xiangjiang's film achievements are good, but whether it is the quality and quantity compared with Hollywood, it is still far behind, and the implementation of the multi-hall model will definitely have better results, but it is not cost-effective from the perspective of investment. ”
After listening to a series of analyses, Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "That's right, but the multiplex model in the United States generally has seven or eight or more screens in a theater, and we don't need to be completely responsible for copying in Xiangjiang, just 3-4 screens, so the investment will be much less." ”
Now that it has entered the 80s, the most popular time of Xiangjiang movies is about to appear, but if you follow the original history, big
Xu Zhike has seen some movies, and it would be too boring to watch it again, and now Hutchison's capital has entered the film market, monopolized the entire theater chain, rewrote the rules, and increased the income of the film company in the case of his own profits, which will inevitably affect the entire history of film development, maybe some classic movies and popular stars in later generations will disappear, but more likely to give birth to other types of classic movies, this situation Xu Zhi himself is very much looking forward to.
Now that we've crossed over, of course we have to change some history.
"That's fine, but I still suggest that we build a few to test the water first, see the effect, and then make a final decision!" Li Xinlian suggested.
"Yes, then try it first. Xu Zhi said: "There is one more thing, I invest in the cinema chain, naturally not only for the Xiangjiang market, I intend to set up my own cinema in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, but we are not familiar with these places, so the acquisition is the best choice, Ms. Li, you need to pay more attention to this aspect in the future." ”
Li Xinlian nodded and said, "Xu Sheng, don't worry, I will definitely do my best!"
