1251 [World Cinema Opening]
"Mr. Xia, why did you take down Siyuan Pictures quietly?" Zou Wenhuai called Xia, with a hint of resentment in his voice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Siyuan Pictures was originally a subsidiary of their Golden Harvest, although it was not invested by him, but the movies it produced have always been released in Golden Harvest.
Although the box office is not too high, it can sell money, and the reputation is good. A company like this has now gone to the world's cinemas, how can he not regret it. Especially in the summer, he was still his ally, but now he stabbed him in the back, which made Zou Wenhuai full of resentment.
"Investing in Siyuan Pictures is a normal business activity of our Tianxia Pictures, do you need to say hello to others?Who do you want me to say hello to?" Xia asked coldly when he heard this.
"Mr. Xia, didn't you say that we are three alliances, and our two are allies. As soon as Zou Wenhuai heard Xia's tone, he didn't dare to ask the offender again, and his tone softened, "If you take action, you should always tell us." ”
"Tell me?!Then why didn't you think to say hello to me when you wanted to rent a Shaw Brothers Cinema?" Xia sneered when he heard this, "Mr. Zou, let me tell you, it's true that we are an alliance, but we are not a whole. I have never interfered in how you do things, so don't interfere with how I do things. ”
"Mr. Xia, what you said is too hurtful. Since we are allies, we should exchange news. I didn't tell you that I wanted to rent Shaw Brothers Cinemas before, because you never said you wanted to renew the lease. Zou Wenhuai was robbed by the summer, and his face was also a little scornful, and he hurriedly defended himself.
"Then I didn't say hello to you when I took a stake in Siyuan Pictures, because I had never heard that you had an idea about it before. Summer smiled and said, "In the way of the other, give back to the other."
When Zou Wenhuai heard this, he immediately choked half to death.
"Okay, if you think I'm fast, then there are still many independent production companies in Hong Kong, you can grab it, don't wait for others to snatch it, you can chirp crookedly. "Summer said coldly.
"You...... I...... Hmph!" Zou Wenhuai was speechless when Xia said this, so he had to hang up the phone depressedly.
"Phew! give you three colors and you will dare to open a dye room!"
He knew that Zou Wenhuai blamed himself for not saying hello to him, so he took down Siyuan Pictures, which was originally affiliated with Golden Harvest. But Zou Wenhuai can't blame himself for this matter at all.
It is true that Siyuan Pictures has had close cooperation with Golden Harvest before, but it is not its subsidiary in the end, and the two are just cooperating. And recently, the two of them have turned against each other and have long since stopped cooperating. So I invested in Siyuan Pictures and did Jiahe's!
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really pry the corner of Jiahe, even if you pry Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, and Hong Jingbao to the world film industry?
……
On August 5, the World Cinema Line was officially put into operation.
On the first day of opening, the movie released was the kung fu blockbuster "Once Upon a Time" starring Xia Xia and Guan Zhilin and directed by Xu Ke.
Because the promotion of this drama began as early as a week ago, and the summer was also confident in the quality of the film, it was officially released in theaters without any more midnight test screenings.
Because before the release of this drama, it had already been hyped and attracted people's attention. So as soon as it is released now, it is really crowded with viewers.
In addition, the World Cinema Line is known as the most advanced and comfortable cinema chain in Hong Kong, so many people also want to explore it. Therefore, there is a long queue of people at the door of every Tianzihao theater, and even police officers need to be dispatched to maintain order.
However, Xia and Wang Qixian got the tickets early, so they didn't have to queue up and went directly to the world theater.
The reason why the two of them came to see the play was mainly because Wang Jixian was curious about the summer play and wanted to see it. And the world cinema has just opened, and as the proprietor, she also wants to see what is unique.
When he came to the theater, when he saw the long dragon of people, Wang Jixian couldn't help but be surprised, "Brother Tian, what a long line! It seems that your drama is really popular!"
"Yes. "In the summer, I couldn't help but feel very proud when I saw so many people queuing up to buy tickets.
The two of them then entered the theater and saw that the decoration was really fantastic. Ambilight, splendid, not like a theater where you can watch a movie for 20 yuan, but like a five-star hotel, high-end atmosphere and grade!
"Wow~" Wang Qixian couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw such a beautiful decoration, "Brother Tian, how much does it cost to spend such a beautiful decoration?"
"Every investment is a return. Xia said with a smile, "Now Hong Kong people's lives are getting better and better, they have more and more money in their hands, and their requirements for entertainment are getting higher and higher." The old and dilapidated theater like the one before is no longer acceptable to the audience.
And the role of the theater is to let the audience get the best audio-visual enjoyment. Otherwise, it's good for people to watch TV at home, so why bother to come here and spend money to buy tickets. So it's worth spending a little more.
If you look at the expressions on these people's faces, how surprised and happy they are, you will know that our money is worth it. ”
As he spoke, he asked Wang Jixian to observe the expressions of everyone in the hall. I saw that these people were also looking around curiously, and let out bursts of exclamation from time to time.
Hearing him say this, Wang Qixian nodded with a smile, "Brother Tian, what you said really makes sense." ”
……
Located in the downtown area of Tsim Sha Tsui, the Cinema is a veritable leading cinema with a large geographical location and a large area, with a total of five cinemas and a total of 1,000 seats.
When you enter the theater, it is a hall. Movie tickets, snacks, videos, costumes, props, merchandise, and more are all sold here. And it's all computer cashier, all computers are networked, and all data will be aggregated to the host.
This data accumulates over time, which is commonly known as big data. Through these data, the headquarters can know which theme, which star, which snack, and which peripheral are the most popular with the audience, which is convenient for future reference.
And it can be supervised at any time to avoid people underneath from cheating and stealing the box office. Of course, it can also be convenient for yourself to cheat, help launder money in the future, steal a box office or something.
After the hall, there is a corridor, and on both sides of the corridor are movie halls. There are a total of five cinemas in the world, two of which are below, three of which are above, and the bathrooms are also downstairs.
On the walls of the corridor are movie posters and huge photographs of the stars of the world's film industry, all of which are exquisitely printed and very aesthetically pleasing, which plays a decorative and promotional role.
Wang Jixian saw a photo of herself on the wall, which was a still from her in "A Chinese Ghost Story". She secretly hid outside the window, the breeze blowing her hair, covering her peerless face, revealing only a pair of watery and talking eyes, evoking countless reveries.
"Wow, and my picture!" she smiled in surprise.
"Of course, you're the proprietress here, whoever doesn't have a photo can't hang yours. Summer said with a smile.
Hearing him say this, Wang Qixian suddenly laughed happily, "Brother that day, where is your photo?"
"I guess it's over here. Summer looked around and suddenly smiled, "Ah, isn't it right here?" ”
Wang Zuxian walked over to take a look, and saw that the photos of summer were the stills from when he filmed "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun". He was wearing a cloth robe and a classic white crane with bright wings, with a solemn expression and a firm gaze, with a grandmaster bearing.
"Wow, so handsome!" Wang Jixian couldn't help but praise when he saw it.
Summer smiled, "Okay, don't be busy looking at the photos yet, the movie is about to start, let's go to the theater first." ”
"Hmm. Wang Qixian nodded and entered the theater with Summer.
……
As soon as he entered the theater, Wang Qixian couldn't help but let out a surprised "wow!".
The decoration of this cinema is also very good, almost comparable to the private cinema in their Qiaozui Chau holiday villa. The seats were all fabric sofas, not the leather chairs common in other theaters.
"Brother Tian, with such a good chair, aren't you afraid of being destroyed?" Wang Qixian said worriedly for him.
Most of the audiences who go to the cinema in Hong Kong to watch movies are middle- and lower-class people, and their quality is relatively average, and they like to watch movies while gnawing on sugarcane, commonly known as the cane biting gang. They watch movies, if only they can watch them. If it's not good, it will wreak havoc. Throwing sugar cane at the screen, shouting insults at the director, cutting the seats in the theater, etc.
If it is a cheap leather seat, it will be cut if it is cut, and it will not be delayed to continue to use. But if this fabric sofa is cut, it can't be used anymore. And a sofa is cheap for a few hundred yuan, far from being compensated for by a 20 yuan movie ticket.
"Don't worry. The movie tickets in this theater are all purchased with ID cards and recorded in the computer one by one. Whoever commits sabotage will be recorded at that time. As long as the loss exceeds a certain amount, it will be prosecuted. Xia smiled, "These people are not stupid, they won't hit the muzzle of the gun themselves." ”
"Ah, then I'm relieved. When Wang Qixian heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It's easy for this theater chain to be put into operation in the summer, and if someone breaks it quickly, it will be a big mess.
"Okay, don't worry, let's sit down, it's going to start soon. Summer laughed.
Wang Qixian nodded, and sat down with him.
"Wow, that's so comfortable. After sitting down, Wang Qixian couldn't help but praise.
Generally, the theater uses leather chairs, which are easy to have backache and leg pain after sitting for a long time. But now sitting on this sofa, I feel much more loose and soft, and much more comfortable.
