Cao Dahua's recent situation is a little embarrassing, or it is more appropriate to call it depressed.

Of course......

His frustration came not from his work, but from the burned down studio.

At the beginning of 1948, Cao Dahua and his sister Cao Qiwen co-founded the "Youqiao Film Company" and founded the Youqiao Studio.

Among them, although the house belongs to Cao Dahua, the land on the set belongs to his brother-in-law Mei Youzhuo.

The brother-in-law and brother-in-law cooperated all the way, and with the sister in the middle, it was not a big problem for a while.

It's a pity that at the end of 1948, that is, in November, Cao Qiwen died of malignant pneumonia caused by overwork at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve in St. Teresa's Hospital in Kowloon.

It can be said that the face is thin.

After that, although he lost his sister, this brother-in-law's brother-in-law cooperated well.

For Mei Youzhuo, a gentle and good brother-in-law, Cao Dahua still respects him very much.

The problem appeared two months ago......

Mei Youzhuo, who has been widowed for nearly four years, has shown signs of a second spring, and the object of his affection is the second miss of Shao Village, the boss of the Shaw Brothers.

As for the Shao family, they are also very satisfied with such a capable son-in-law, the people of Shao Village and their daughters.

So, the two sides are a match made in heaven!

The people around him were constantly congratulating.

Except for Cao Dahua.

It's also easy to understand, what originally belonged to my sister is about to be snatched away now, although I know that the other party is doing the right thing, but it is still a little uncomfortable to fall in the heart of my younger brother.

A sense of ambivalence that supports and opposes makes Cao Dahua very depressed.

So at this time, Cao Dahua thought that the farther away from his 'ex-brother-in-law' was better, and he was out of sight and out of mind.

Simply, it's better to be okay.

So he just saved up more than half a year's money, planning to rebuild the studio, as well as buy new equipment, but he also stopped, and there was still one studio left, and he didn't bother to care.

Anyway, there has always been someone on the set to take care of it, and it's the same with him or not.

However, where to put the extra money for a while made him worried.

Cao Dahua didn't dare to invest in movies, Youqiao Pictures had always been taken care of by his sister and brother-in-law before, although he also made movies, but he was actually not good at investment.

The only thing left is the property.

Do you still buy a house to collect rent?

Cao Dahua was still pondering in his heart, and when he heard the news that Yang Qiu was going to build a theater, he suddenly felt his eyes light up.

Although the film industry in Xiangjiang has not risen as exaggerated as the neon side this year, the prospects are still very good, and there were only 40 theaters in Xiangjiang last year, and the number has risen to 49 so far this year.

Within half a year, there were nine more theaters in a place as big as Xiangjiang.

Not to mention that many are being built, or are going to be built.

For example, Golden Harvest......

These people are pouring into the theater on a large scale, naturally because they can make money by opening a theater.

For example, the Puqing Cinema, which has just been rented by Southern Pictures with a deposit of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars per month and 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, has a total box office income of more than 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars last year.

If this year's profit is calculated according to last year's revenue budget, Southern Pictures can earn more than 100,000 yuan at least from the middle.

What's more, when the time comes, with the blessing of Changfeng's new good movies, it is estimated that the profits will be much higher.

While the film industry in the United States has been hit hard by the development of the television industry, the development of the film industry has ushered in a small peak in Asia because of the backwardness of science and technology.

After several years of peace, more and more people began to pay attention to spiritual enjoyment.

"My property in Tai Po has passed, although the place is not big, but it can also build a small theater with about 800 people, you don't look at the 800-seat theater is small, I know you want to build a theater line, but it has been carefully studied, and the place in Tai Po is ......."

Cao Dahua sat on the sofa and continued to talk, proud of his decision to build a theater.

Yang Qiu frowned instead, and suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Cao Dahua's words: "Your theater in Tai Po has been built?"

"Well——, not yet. Cao Dahua was slightly stunned, and immediately asked, "What, something?"

Putting his hand on the table and tapping it twice, Yang Qiu pondered for a while and asked, "I'll just ask, do you really plan to build a theater and join my theater chain?"

"There can be a fake, I have all the money ready. Cao Dahua's eyes widened.

"In that case, then I'll be straight to the point. Yang Qiu leaned back on the chair and said without raising his head: "You send the money to Jiahe first, and I will plan the affairs of your theater in a unified manner." ”

"What?!"

Cao Dahua was stunned for a moment, looking at Yang Qiu with a stunned face.

He didn't suspect that Yang Qiu would be greedy for his more than 100,000 yuan, but he was very puzzled about what he would do with a unified plan to build a theater.

Movie theaters, there are so many in Xiangjiang, and they are not all the same.

Yang Qiu would not tell him right now that what he wanted to build was not an ordinary theater, but a multi-functional theater.

The news that Jiahe is going to build its own cinema has been known to people since Yang Qiu began to buy land and buildings.

After all, Xiangjiang is so big.

However, others only knew that Yang Qiu was going to build a theater, but they didn't know that what he wanted to build was a multi-functional theater, and Yang Qiu handed over the construction of the theater to Li Yi's Jianli Construction Company.

Among them, in addition to the in-law relationship between the two, the most important reason is that Li Yi's subordinates are tight-mouthed and can keep secrets.

Yang Qiu didn't want others to know too much about the multi-functional theater.

As for the news that Golden Harvest was going to build its own cinema, the attitude of Jinguo Cinema was much colder towards him, and he no longer supported him before.

Of course, there is a film that Jin Guo will definitely continue to play.

Who has money not to earn.

But Jin Guo obviously continued to increase his support for Dacheng, the most obvious is that there have been rumors in the industry that Dacheng also intends to recruit acting students and cultivate its own stars.

The ambitions of the Guan family father and son in the film and television industry are not small.

Yang Qiu had only seen Cao Dahua during the day, but he didn't expect to see his brother-in-law Mei Youzhuo at Houdefu Restaurant in the evening.

"Rouge Buckle" sold 250,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and Zhang Shankun was overjoyed, so he set up a few tables of banquets in Houdefu and held a small celebration banquet.

Yang Qiu and Xia Meng were naturally invited.

It's just that he didn't expect that at the wine table, he saw Mei Youzhuo with a spring face.

Inevitably, I have to say two congratulations.

Mei Youzhuo also suffered a lot.

The joy on his face could not be hidden.

Mei Youzhuo is also born with a graceful and gentle demeanor, after all, he is also a senior intellectual of this era.

In addition, in addition to being an overseas Chinese in the United States and a well-known film producer, he was also a 'representative of the Overseas Chinese Congress in the Americas', and he went to Jinling to participate in the National Congress in 48 years.

Its status is the same as that of many 'people's congress deputies' today.

Yang Qiu has known him for a long time, after all, he has made so many movies in Youqiao, it is impossible that he has not even seen the landlord on the set.

After saying hello to Mei Youzhuo, Yang Qiu and Xia Meng also found a place to sit down, and when they were greeting the people around them, Wang Yuanlong, who was sitting next to him, suddenly patted him.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter?"

"Do you remember the candidate who was admitted to your Golden Harvest but didn't report in the end?"

"You mean...... "js3v3
