"Shi Shi, do I want the information you found ready?"

"That's it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shi boy said calmly as always.

Xu Wenhui looked at the file she handed over, it was thick, there were several pages, and it was obvious that he had put his heart into finding it.

If he wants to make a movie, how can he not consider the issue of theaters?

This is a sword hanging over the heads of all filmmakers, unless you are recruited, you don't want your movie to be released, or to get a good one, most of the screens!

"Maybe now, everyone is watching my jokes, right?" Xu Wenhui smiled faintly.

"Isn't it!" Shi Nan nodded, "Even many people in our company have begun to waver, because until now, you haven't said anything, which theater we are showing up." ”

"What about you, what do you think?" Xu Wenhui looked at her quietly.

Shi boy's face turned blue and red for a while: "I contacted Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, but the other party did not agree to paint our movie." To be honest, I don't know how you can break the game, boss!"

"Even my most important people are questioning, it seems that no one really believes that our "Mr. Zombie" can succeed!" Xu Wenhui said with a playful expression.

Hearing Xu Wenhui's words, Shi boy's heartstrings trembled, he bit his lip, and finally whispered: "I thought so at first, this seems to be a dead end." But ......"

"But what?"

At this time, Shi Nan's eyes were full of smiles, and he replied: "But until the boss, you asked me to check the information of the theater." ”

"What does that mean?"

Shi boy didn't answer, but bit his lip and glared at him. "DO YOU STILL HAVE TO SAY IT SO CLEARLY, BOSS?"

"Hahaha!"

Xu Wenhui laughed and finally opened the information she had collected.

······

This is a very detailed document.

At the beginning, the number of cinemas in Xiangjiang over the years, the peak was 8 years ago, that is, in 69, when the number of cinemas in Xiangjiang reached a terrifying 180!

Since then, according to the data, it has decreased year by year.

By last year, there were only 73 left, but the latest data shows that 8 new ones have opened this year, so there are now about 80 cinemas in Xiangjiang.

"......" Xu Wenhui watched quietly, and Shi boys didn't bother, quiet like a puppet, just watching the man look at the information.

Keep flipping.

Behind is the introduction of several major cinemas in Xiangjiang, just this look made Xu Wenhui surprised again.

Because Xu Wenhui remembered that the Golden Princess Cinema had not yet been born, there were only Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest at this time, right?

But to his surprise, the file provided by Shi boys showed that there were actually four major cinemas in Xiangjiang at this time: Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Lisheng and Shuangnan.

Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Cinemas are easy to understand, but where did Lisheng Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas come from?

If you don't understand, just ask

Xu Wenhui has an advantage, that is, he never pretends not to understand, so he asked directly: "Shi Shi, tell me what the two theaters are coming from." ”

"Lisheng Cinemas Line was established by the director of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company, Lui Yukwan, and has a total of eight cinemas. In addition, there are eight other franchised theaters. Over the years, it has been leased to Golden Harvest for use, which is equivalent to the sub-cinema line of Golden Harvest Cinema Line. "Shi boy does his homework and answers all questions.

"It turned out to be Boss Lei's, at this time he was still mainly engaged in public transportation and real estate!"

Xu Wenhui suddenly realized, and he understood it when he said this.

It turns out that this Lisheng Cinema is the predecessor of the Golden Princess Cinema.

The reason why he has a deep memory of this Golden Princess cinema is mainly that he is the only cinema that can compete with Golden Harvest in the 80s.

The Golden Princess company mainly distributes films and operates theatrical chains, with a small investment in the production of films.

Princess Jin's greatest achievement is the abolition of the theater package system.

It reduces the pressure on film producers, improves the enthusiasm of independent production companies and the vitality of their operations, and generally the films in the Golden Princess Cinema are distributed by Golden Princess, but in order to help independent companies, many independent companies' films are distributed by themselves, on the one hand, to mobilize the enthusiasm of independent companies, on the other hand, free of distribution fees, such as: Binbin Company, Struggle Company, Siyuan, Xili, Brothers, Liren and other companies have released their own films in the Golden Princess, which reflects the good development of independent production provided by the Golden Princess after its establishment.

The film is very popular in Xinyi City, which has always been scheduled in the Golden Princess Cinema Line, making the box office revenue of the Golden Princess Cinema Line the second largest cinema chain in Xiangjiang after Golden Harvest.

Therefore, Huang Baiming's new art city works closely with the Golden Princess Cinema Line.

When the new art city is prosperous, the Golden Princess Cinema line will be prosperous, and the new art city will be disbanded, and the Golden Princess Cinema will also end, so it proves once again that the cinema line and production are closely related!!

"The remaining Shuangnan has always only screened films and **** movies from the mainland, and it is almost difficult for other films to be released in this theater. ”

After talking about Lisheng Cinema, Shi boys explained Shuangnan again, but he remained cautious in his words.

"BOSS, in my opinion, unless it is absolutely necessary, even if the other party agrees to the release of our company's movie, it should not be released in this theater. ”

Xu Wenhui frowned: "Support over there?"

"Yes, Shuangnan Cinema Line is the mainland background, and the films of the three **** film companies, the Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian, are extremely strict in review, and they are all social-themed films. ”

Shi boy said solemnly.

"Now the **** film company has no money, no talent, and their theater chain is in tatters, the only advantageous resource is to be able to go to the great rivers and mountains of the mainland to film. ”

······

What Shi boys said is basically true.

From the late 60s to the late 70s, because of the super turbulent impact there, Xiangjiang **** Film Company was struggling, and all the actors, directors, and staff at that time were forced to go back to the mainland to be reviewed, which scared away a lot of talents, such as Xia Meng, who is known as the princess of the Great Wall.

That is, Xu Wenhui's old friend Jin Yong's dream lover, at that time, she urgently avoided the disaster in Canada, and did not dare to come back until after the reform and opening up.

And because of the unprecedented rise of ultra-leftism in the mainland, the films shot by the Xiangjiang **** Film Company have to go through very strict political censorship, and the film "Qu Yuan" directed by the famous director Bao Fang was banned the day before it was released; The film "House", which celebrates the working class, cannot escape the fate of being criticized and struggled because of the scenes of workers drinking and smoking.

This kind of censorship of unlimited online platforms also shackles the hands and feet of **** filmmakers, and it can be said that they can hardly do anything. Throughout the 70s, **** film companies almost did not shoot new films, but only screened some revolutionary model plays designated by the mainland government. It's kind of the whole thing at a standstill.

······

······

"I understand, when I filmed the exterior scenes of the drama before, I also relied on Director Li Da, who can eat well on both sides of the strait and three places, as a shield. If we go to the **** movie to be released again, we will lose the most important foreign market, which is simply suicide. ”

When Xu Wenhui heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

Then I looked down and found that there was still one.

The last cinema chain is a company called "Anle Cinema Line", and the main reason why this cinema chain in Xiangjiang is not known is that they only show Western films.

However, after Xu Wenhui watched it, he was even more surprised than knowing the origin of Lisheng Cinema.

Because the first foreign-funded cinema in the mainland, the Nanguo Cinema in Shenzhen, was made by the Jiang family of Anle, and they cooperated with China Film in 83 and 84, and "Nanguo" was established in 1983.

And this has to mention the owner behind them, the Jiang family.

The current helmsman of the Jiang family is Jiang Yuyi, who is one of the leading film distributors, but the point is that he has Jiangdong Shuanghu - the Jiang brothers, especially the little Sun Jian - Jiang Zhiqiao.

This strong brother is more powerful than the "robber of the century Zhang Ziqiang" who crossed the river and the raptors, and is a well-deserved number one person in the Chinese film industry after the 21st century, known as the driving force behind Chinese films, and was called "Asia's hero" by Time magazine.

After taking over the power of Anle Film Kingdom at the end of the 80s, over the past 20 years, he has not only introduced and distributed a number of foreign classic films, but also participated in the investment and production of a number of Chinese blockbusters that have repeatedly promoted the vigorous development of the domestic film market.

Xu Wenhui used to be an insider in the mainland, of course he had heard of this big man.

······

"I don't know if Brother Qiang has returned to Hong Kong after studying abroad? Xu Wenhui couldn't help but think boldly.

"It's estimated that there is no drama, people have their own film companies, how can they work for themselves?"

After throwing this idea away.

I read the information of several theaters again.

The rest is nothing to see.

Except for Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Shuangnan, Lisheng, and Anle, all the others are independent cinemas!

Among these independent cinemas, there are not only luxury cinemas such as Listage where Teresa Teng holds a concert, but also rural and neighborhood cinemas that provide screening services for villagers and neighborhoods.

But basically, you can't be on the stage, if you want to be a box office hit, you can't support these theaters!

······

Xu Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked at the boy Shi who had been waiting for him quietly.

"I've read your information, it's very complete, I have taken a fancy to this Lisheng Cinema, tell me how much it's worth. ”

looked at her quietly like this, and said lightly.

Shi Nan was a little stunned, confirmed the question again, and then replied hesitantly: "Lisheng Cinema, as I said just now, there are a total of 8 main cinemas, and the other 8 are all franchised cinemas. If you don't count those who join and want to acquire the main theaters of the cinema chain, including those plots, our team should need to pay about 367 million after estimating, but considering that the other party has the support of Golden Harvest, this price may have to be calculated upward. ”

"But it won't exceed three or four million!" Shi boy's little face suddenly turned red: "So it should be forty million!!"

"Okay! I bought !!"

Boss Xu waved his hand just like buying pork.
