Chapter 143: Cinema

After explaining the matter of the artist training class, Wu Ming pondered for a while, and then instructed: "Manager Shi, our company does not have its own cinema chain for the time being, and the movies made can only be released in other people's theaters. So you should contact Lei Juekun of Princess Jin and Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest for a while.

See if they're willing to let our movies be released in their theaters. By the way, Anle Cinemas can also get in touch, although their cinemas specialize in showing Western films bought from overseas markets. But I have Hollywood's giants, United Pictures, and maybe they'll agree to our request. ”

Shi Nansheng listened to Wu Ming's words and asked suspiciously: "Boss, why don't we build our own theater, but instead find Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai to cooperate." ”

Shi Nansheng was very confused that Wu Ming did not establish DreamWorks' own theater chain, after all, Wu Ming said that he was going to North America to buy a theater chain, and Xingchen Entertainment's business situation is very good.

Wu Ming smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said, "I have a project that needs a lot of money this time, and I can't spare so much money to build a new cinema line for the time being." I don't like those small independent cinemas, so I have to work with them first. ”

Subsequently, Wu Ming gave Shi Nansheng another reassurance: "Don't worry, we can have our own cinema line next year at the latest." And if Zou Wenhuai and they really refuse to cooperate, I will allocate a sum of money to build a cinema chain in advance. ”

The reason why Wu Ming doesn't build a movie theater line now is naturally not because he has any big projects as he said. It is because the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is now on a crazy rise, and now it takes a lot of money to set up your own cinema line, which is not cost-effective at all.

You know, a year later, the real estate industry in Hong Kong will collapse. It's better to wait for the recession period to come, and when those real estate companies are in trouble, they will carry out a big dip and pick up bargains.

Therefore, the films produced by DreamWorks can only be screened in other theaters.

Today, there are a total of five cinemas in Xiangjiang, in addition to the three more famous cinemas of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Golden Princess Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas, as well as Anle Cinemas, which specializes in screening overseas Western films, and Shuangnan Cinemas, which are inclined to the mainland.

There is no need to think about Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Wu Ming has already become an opponent with wireless, and he still has some personal grudges with Fang Yihua, so it is naturally impossible to play DreamWorks movies.

The Shuangnan Cinema Line is exclusively for leftist film companies such as the Great Wall Film Company, which can also be excluded.

Among the remaining three, Golden Harvest Cinemas has the greatest hope, after all, Zou Wenhuai has always wanted to enter Hollywood, and Wu Ming has Lianmei, a Hollywood giant, who can help Zou Wenhuai. Zou Wenhuai should have a good chance of being willing to reach a partnership.

Shi Nansheng saw that Wu Ming had already made a guarantee, although he was a little curious about what kind of project needed so much money that Wu Ming couldn't get the funds to set up a theater. But after all, she was Wu Ming's subordinate, so she still didn't ask any questions.

"By the way, I happen to have a script here that I'm looking for someone to shoot. I heard that your boyfriend Xu Ke is a very good director, you ask him if he would like to come to our company for development. If he wants, he will shoot this script. Wu Ming looked at Shi Nansheng playfully at this time and laughed.

Shi Nansheng heard the boss talk about his boyfriend, and his face couldn't help but flash a trace of blush. But she is a strong woman after all, and she recovered in an instant.

"Boss, are you really willing to bring Xu Ke?" Shi Nansheng asked with concern.

After Shi Nansheng became the general manager of DreamWorks, he naturally thought about pulling his boyfriend into the company. He is still very clear about his boyfriend's talent, and he will definitely have a good development after entering DreamWorks.

Unexpectedly, the boss Wu Ming actually took a fancy to Xu Ke. The treatment of the people personally invited by the boss is naturally different from the people she pulled in herself, so Shi Nansheng was very happy.

Wu Ming nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I have watched a few movies made by him, and I feel that he has a lot of potential, and he has more ideas, which is worth investing in." ”

Since Wu Ming wants to make a big splash in the Xiangjiang film industry, he naturally wants to recruit a group of talents. And Xu Ke, one of the most famous directors in the future Xiangjiang, is his first goal.

After investigation, Wu Ming found that Xu Kecai had only shot three movies at this time, but he was just a rookie director, and it was relatively simple to recruit. After he becomes famous, the difficulty of solicitation will skyrocket.

It is also Wu Ming's good luck, if he waits for another two or three months, Xu Ke will be recruited by Xinyicheng, and then shoot his famous work "Ghost Horse Zhi Duoxing", which won a high box office of 7 million Hong Kong dollars. When the time comes, it will be very difficult to recruit Xu Ke.

Shi Nansheng said happily: "Boss, it's his honor that you can look up to Xu Ke, and I will bring him to DreamWorks tomorrow." ”

Wu Ming groaned, and then replied: "Don't wait for tomorrow, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, you can find him now!"

Shi Nansheng was surprised: "So anxious!"

Wu Ming smiled slightly and explained: "I can't come to DreamWorks tomorrow because I have something, and I will go back to my hometown the day after tomorrow, so I only have time today." ”

Shi Nansheng nodded and said, "Then I'll go find him." ”

Immediately, Shi Nansheng walked out of the office quickly and went to look for Xu Ke.

……

More than an hour later, Shi Nansheng led a neatly dressed young man of about 30 years old to walk in.

"Boss, this is Xu Ke. Shi Nansheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the young man and introduced.

Wu Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Director Xu, I've admired my name for a long time." ”

Xu Ke hurriedly replied respectfully: "Where, it is my honor to see Wu Sheng's true face today." ”

"Director Xu is really good at talking. Wu Ming smiled, and then said, "I won't talk nonsense, I want to invite you to join our Dream Factory, I don't know what you think." ”

Xu Ke replied with a smile: "I am very confident in the future of DreamWorks, so I am honored to join DreamWorks and be a part of it. ”

Xu Ke had heard from Shi Nansheng before that DreamWorks was going to show its skills in the Xiangjiang film industry, and even entered the North American market. And DreamWorks has also set up a special effects department, and the backbone of the staff in it are all from Hollywood.

Xu Ke has always been a special effects technical controller, otherwise he would not have hired the American "Star Wars" stunt team to support the filming of "New Shushan Swordsman" two years later. After knowing that Wu Ming was also a special effects technology party, he moved the idea of joining DreamWorks.

After all, special effects are too expensive, and if you go to other film companies, I'm afraid you don't want to spend so much money at all. Only Wu Ming, a big tyrant, is interested and has enough capital to support him in shooting special effects movies.
