Chapter 100: Theater Worries

Kowtow for recommendations, ask for collections.

"Oh? Tell me what to say. Shao Yifu just took a sip of tea, and when he heard Wei Xiong say this, he thought he wanted to talk about overseas distribution.

"I wonder how many years the lease contract signed between Shaw Cinemas and Debao? This question may be a bit presumptuous, if inconvenient......"

Hearing this, Shao Yifu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was like a mirror, and he immediately understood what Wei Xiong was thinking: "It seems that the nephew's mind is not small, but you may be disappointed, the lease contract has been signed for a total of five years, less than a year has passed, and it is still far from expiration." ”

This result did make Wei Xiong a little disappointed, but he was not surprised, Pan Disheng is not a fool, if he intends to develop in the film industry for a long time, he will definitely take the opportunity of Shaw Brothers to stop production to win Shaw Brothers Cinemas, even if he can't buy it directly, the longer the lease period, the better.

"How could Shibo not know about the curbing of the development of Hong Kong film companies, and I was forced to do so. But now it seems that he can only think of another way. ”

Shao Yifu nodded thoughtfully, and did not dwell on this issue, but talked about another matter: "Today I heard Ah Hua say that you refused to participate in the award competition of the 'Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony', why?" Your odds of winning should be good. ”

"I want to make a difference in the mall more than to win an award. In addition, if I participate in the award competition, how many opportunities does Shibo think others have? ”

"Hehehe...... You're confident. That's right, it's really a waste to limit yourself to a small music scene with your ability, and the mall can provide you with a wider space. And your father probably wants you to do business, sing or something, and never get into his eyes. ”

Thinking of going home for the Spring Festival, Wei Hongdao finally gave himself a good face, and Wei Xiong couldn't help but smile: "It seems that Shibo knows my father very well." ”

"I've been an old friend for decades, if it weren't for him to help me regulate my body, my body would not be as tough as it is now, to be honest, in addition to your father's ideological concepts are a little old and stubborn, his morality and knowledge really have nothing to say, quite a bit of the style of ancient Confucian doctors."

Wei Xiong, a son, knows how much ability his father has, so he doesn't help to be modest, just smiled, and then said: "Although I don't participate in the award competition, I will still attend the award ceremony, after all, this is a major event in the Hong Kong music scene." ”

……

The lease contract between Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Debao is as long as five years, and Wei Xiong will definitely have no chance if he wants to grab it, not to mention the remaining Golden Harvest Cinemas and the Golden Princess Cinemas, the backer of New Arts City. In addition to these three major theater chains, there are only some small theaters and scattered theaters left.

For example, Anle Cinema Line, which specializes in foreign language films. Now there is only one way in front of Wei Xiong - to set up his own cinema chain, and there are two specific methods: build his own cinema to build a new cinema chain and buy existing cinemas to form a cinema chain. There are pros and cons to both methods.

The first is to build a movie theater by yourself, the advantage is that the location and layout are completely based on Wei Xiong's will, and the disadvantage is that it takes a long time; Then there is the acquisition of existing cinemas, the advantage is that it takes less time and can be put into use immediately, and the disadvantage is that the scale of scattered cinemas is very small.

And the location is not ideal, it is difficult to meet Wei Xiong's requirements, taking the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line as an example, it has a total of 16 theaters, but the four leading theaters led by the Li Stage occupy the majority of the box office, and the remaining nine theaters are just a supplement to the leading theaters.

Thinking that after the filming of "God of Gamblers", he might have to personally come to the door to negotiate the schedule with the theater company in a low voice, Wei Xiong was even more urgent about the theater chain, in order to come up with a feasible plan, Wei Xiong thought about it all day on Saturday, but unfortunately the person he could discuss was really good.

When night fell, Wei Xiong drove to Tiansong Community to pick up Zhou Huimin and Sakai Fazi, Zhou Huimin only returned to Hong Kong this afternoon, he did not go to pick up the airport, so as not to be surrounded by reporters and fans, you must know that Zhou Huimin is now more popular than he was at the beginning.

And the media already knew the time of her return to Hong Kong, so you can imagine how hot the situation at the airport must be, and he really doesn't want to join in the fun.

"I'm tired, I've already ordered you to go down, the company won't arrange any more work for you during this time, you can have a good rest."

"It's a little tiring, but it's fulfilling, and I've never had this experience before, so I feel a little different from my previous life."

Zhou Huimin's face did not look tired, but looked full of interest. Wei Xiong saw Zhou Huimin's expression in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was born to eat the bowl of rice of a star, and he was very disgusted with this kind of life that was promoted everywhere for the sake of sales.

Half an hour later, the car drove into the parking lot of the Peninsula Hotel, and just got out of the car, I happened to meet Le Zhenghong who got off a car not far away: "This person is really incomparable, some people are always alone, and some people are accompanied by beautiful people wherever they go." ”

"I said you're sour, alone? Others don't know you, I don't know yet? Wei Xiong's ridicule suddenly made Le Zhenghong speechless.

"I said you ......" wanted to defend himself a few words, and looked at Zhou Huimin and Sakai Fazi who were watching from the side, Le Zhenghong felt that it was better to forget it.

They are all acquaintances, and it's too real to be interesting, especially Sakai Noriko, who witnessed his actions when he was in Beppu, Japan.

"Let's go." After speaking, Le Zhenghong walked towards the elevator first, seeing this, Wei Xiong smiled and followed Zhou Huimin.

In addition to the crew members, Wei's employees and reporters from several mainstream media, the senior management of Media Asia and several signed artists will also participate, plus some of Wei Xiong's friends who have a good relationship, there should be more than 100 people.

The start time of the celebration banquet was eight o'clock, and there was still more than half an hour, so there were not many people when Wei Xiong and others came to the banquet hall, but it didn't take long for people to come one after another, Anita Mui, Zhong Chuhong, Zheng Shaoqiu and his wife...... Every walk through the door is greeted with a smile on his face.

It was almost eight o'clock, Shao Yifu was also supported by Fang Yihua, the old man was in a very good mood, and he nodded with a smile to everyone who greeted him, and when he met Wei Xiong who came out to greet him, his first sentence was: "I read the script, and we will have a good chat later." ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiong nodded with a smile, and then made a gesture of invitation inside: "I'll talk about this later, Shibo will come in first." ”
