Chapter 374: Muzi Theater.
A total of 53 theaters have opened in the first phase of Hualan Cinema Line, and 72 theaters have been put into construction and planned to be built in the future.
Of course, because Li Mu is usually relatively low-key and rarely appears in front of the stage, the current CEO of Hualan Cinema Line, Xia Yu, who has been hiding behind the scenes all year round, has also completely come to the front of the stage.
For the work of the theater chain, in fact, Xia Yu is already familiar with the road, when he was a producer, he had the most dealings with the crew and the theater chain, of course, he has been troubled by the theater chain over the years, and now he suddenly turned over to be the master, Xia Yu also really experienced the pleasure of being a "master".
Although the source of the film is shared with Huayi, Huayi only has the right to make suggestions and no decision-making power on how to arrange films, and this cinema chain is absolutely controlled by Li Mu, so in order to strive for more films, some film and television companies naturally have to have a good relationship with Xia Yu.
"Oh, Mr. Xia, you have reached the sky in one step, but your brother is still fluttering in the mud pit, this time you can help your brother no matter what. "The person who came is also a producer of a film and television company, and he has dealt with Xia Yu before, but everyone was a producer before, and he also had a sense of sympathy, who would have thought that he would have the same bitterness as himself before haha, and suddenly become his own Party A?
Xia Yu was secretly refreshed, but on the surface, he was silent, and he was also bitter: "Oh, Brother Qian, don't stumble on me, what is my more than 50 small theaters? ”
Qian Hao scolded in his heart, this person is really fickle, it is really the ass that decides the head, the two of them were drinking together before and scolded Huayi's person is not a thing, but now it is his turn.
"Mr. Xia, look at what you said, there are more than 50 theaters, that's a lot, and Huayi is only more than 300, we celebrities don't say secret words, why don't you make a price?"
Xia Yu smiled and said nothing, the cinema chain had just been established, if he made a small move in this regard, once Li Mu noticed it, he would finally get out of it, wouldn't he have to go back to the pre-liberation period overnight? And to be honest, he is also a billionaire no matter how he says it now, and he really doesn't care about the kickback given by Qian Hao.
"Mr. Qian, you are asking me to make mistakes, don't mention this, I'll give you a bottom, now the theater is still a start-up, and I don't have the ability to schedule films independently, and I can't afford to go wrong, so you should work Huayi." ”
Qian Hao left disappointed, but Xia Yu's troubles were not over, and film and television companies came to seek cooperation one after another, and Xia Yu was not offended, but he just said that he had no autonomy for the time being, and blocked it in the name of Huayi, but left his contact information, saying that he could cooperate again in the future.
The most important thing is that the film and television company seems to be very awesome, holding the power of life and death of the director and actors, but in fact, in front of the theater, it is nothing, no matter how good your movie is, it will be useless if it is not broadcast in theaters.
Although few people will actually refuse a money-making movie, but it is based on the obedience of the film and television company.
Unless he reaches the level of the national teacher, not only can he directly negotiate with the theater to share the proportion, but even directly raise the ticket price, Zhang Weiping even opened his mouth to block a certain theater, which is extremely arrogant, but unfortunately after leaving the national teacher, he is nothing.
Huaxia also has only one national teacher, so for film and television companies, the theater chain is still a behemoth that they can't resist, and it is natural to stutter.
Li Mu concentrated his theaters in third- and fourth-tier cities, also because the theater market in these places is not yet saturated, of course, the location is also very important, all the theaters under construction and planned to be built He has on-site investigation, and he has basically not returned home during this time.
In order to set up a theater chain, Li Mu not only hollowed out his family, but even used the funds obtained from the studio's financing, totaling 18 billion, Li Mu also laughed with Wang Ziwen for a while, if they failed this time, they would return to ten years ago overnight.
Before Wang Ziwen could speak, Li Ruilan said with a surprised face: "Back ten years ago, I'm only five years old now, so wouldn't there be no me?
At that time, Li Mu was amused, and Wang Ziwen also teased the little girl: "Yes, without you, it's so noisy every day." Then she successfully made the little girl cry, and Li Mu comforted her for a while before she burst into laughter.
It was nearly a year of construction, and all the 72 theaters built in the later stage of Hualan Cinema Line were put into use, and the construction of 125 cinemas was completed in just two years, which still caused a lot of sensation in the circle.
Of course, what makes Li Mu most interested is a theater located in the magic capital, which is also the benchmark flagship store of Hualan Cinema Line, and this theater alone cost Li Mu 137 million yuan, and it took a year and a half to build.
At the same time, this is also the ideal premiere theater prepared by Li Mu for the studio's films, the theater has two floors, a total of 17 screening halls, including three IMAX giant screen theaters, and all the other theaters can play 2D and 3D movies, but considering that the audience is temporarily open to four 3D theaters.
The opening ceremony of "Muzi Theater" is still very pompous, all the company's artists are present, it can be described as star-studded, Liang Hongfei looked at the giant screen theater and drooled, he dreamed of making such a 3D giant screen movie.
"How's it going, isn't it?" Li Mu patted Liang Hongfei on the shoulder.
Liang Hongfei didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, but he nodded Mu Ne, so angry that Pepe jumped to his feet.
Of course, the happiest person present is Li Ruilan, because she is watching cartoons on the IMAX giant screen, which is also what she has asked for a long time, this animated short film, in fact, is also the latest concept version of Xianxia animation from the animation workshop, which is an entry to the film festival and has won many awards.
Everyone looked at the little girl who was fascinated, and they didn't know what to say for a while, this is too good, right?
Li Mu approached his daughter and tried to get her daughter's approval: Look, this is what your father has laid for you.
It's a pity that the girl doesn't appreciate it very much, her eyes are still staring at the big screen, and she even dislikes him for being too noisy, well, pretending to fail, Li Mu can only accompany her daughter to watch cartoons.
The cartoon is finally finished, and the little girl has a chance to be fortunate to Li Mu: "Baba, what did you just say?"
"Uh.......... It's nothing, it's good if you're happy. Li Mu replied dryly, feeling a loss in his heart.
