Chapter 182: Martial Arts Exchange Group
At the beginning of the decision to establish Wei's cinema line, Wei Xiong had considered the problems that might be encountered, including the source of the film, it can be said that the cancellation of the package system has long been in his consideration, and now that the competition between cinemas has begun, it is time to start implementing it.
"The abolition of the bottom package system and the increase in the share of cinemas are a mutual compromise between cinemas and producers in a competitive market environment, and at the same time can improve the enthusiasm of producers, and in a big way, it will also play a great role in promoting the development of the entire Hong Kong film industry. ”
"So I hope we can be the pioneers, and there is no one who doesn't like a good reputation. However, in order to ensure the profitability of the cinema chain to the greatest extent, in addition to formulating a stricter review and scheduling system, it is also very important to establish the brand of Weishi Cinemas. ”
"Improve the audience's favorability and recognition of Wei's cinemas, and over time, satellite TV cinemas will be able to cultivate a group of loyal fans. As for the specific methods, there are many specific methods, such as adopting a membership system, and if you have a membership card for everything, you can buy movie tickets with a certain discount. ”
"In addition, joint ticket discount activities are held from time to time, and the movie tickets of several films are bundled and sold together, and the price is discounted to a certain extent compared with the original price. In this way, it can not only cultivate loyal fans, but also stimulate the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie, which in turn will increase the box office. ”
The more I listen to Wu Siyuan's eyes, the brighter it becomes, what Wei Xiong said is targeted, especially the two later ideas, which are very feasible, if this is really done, as long as the publicity is done properly, the influence of Wei's Cinema in the hearts of many fans will be greatly improved.
"Hehe, it seems that Ah Xiong, you are really born to engage in entertainment, and you can solve all my problems with a casual opening, admire. ”
"I just make plans and actions, and the specific implementation needs to be carried out by Brother Siyuan. Wei Xiong smiled, compared to the people of this era, he has too many advantages and resources, and he really has nothing to be proud of. Besides, he really didn't think there was anything to come up with a few small ideas.
"Boss, the Hong Kong branch of Xin-Hua-Sheshe has just sent an invitation to watch the martial arts performance held by the local martial arts exchange group at the Lee stage in the future. As there was a knock on the door, Cui Muqing pushed the door and walked in, holding a red card in his right hand.
At this time, Wu Siyuan got up and said: "Everything that should be talked about has been discussed, I'll leave first if it's okay, go back and plan what you said." ”
After Wu Siyuan left, Wei Xiong took the invitation and opened it and read it, the content on it was very simple, only the unit that sent the invitation, the person invited, the performance project, and the time and place. Then he said, "Well, I see, I'll be there on time when you reply." ”
The so-called mainland martial arts exchange group is an exchange group composed of the champions of the mainland's 'national wushu competition' and other outstanding athletes last year, who went to Hong Kong for visits and exchanges, nominally non-governmental exchange activities, and Hong Kong newspapers, especially leftist newspapers, have been reporting on it in the past few days.
Since it is a people-to-people exchange activity, it is naturally not afraid of being indiscriminately deducted by some people with ulterior motives. Moreover, the exchange group chose the location of the martial arts performance on the Li stage, which shows that Shao Yifu also supports it, as the saying goes, there is a tall man on top of the sky when the sky falls, so he doesn't need to worry.
casually put the invitation on the desk, and Wei Xiong's hand was placed on Cui Muqing's buttocks: "Did you send the script for you?"
"Sent it. Cui Muqing had long been accustomed to Wei Xiong's actions, but she glanced at Wei Xiong angrily, and said: "You don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, such a big beauty is actually tossed like that by you, I am angry when I see it." ”
"She's different from you, okay. Wei Xiong patted Cui Muqing's buttocks and made a crisp sound: "Go out to work and eat together at night." ”
has been with Wei Xiong for so long, and has been together almost every day, Cui Muqing knows Wei Xiong very well, and naturally knows what the so-called difference means, and she hurriedly went out to book a restaurant while being happy, she hasn't had dinner with Wei Xiong for a while......
Since the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, in order to increase exchanges with Hong Kong and increase Hong Kong people's understanding and recognition of the Mainland, the mainland has often set up various exchange groups, such as exchange groups and martial arts exchange groups, but they are all under the banner of the people.
This is the second batch of martial arts exchange groups in the past two years, and in May last year, the Beijing-Beijing Wushu Team and other organizations also formed a martial arts exchange group to exchange performances in Hong Kong, when Wei Xiong was just a nobody, and could only read relevant reports in newspapers and television.
However, after a year, Wei Xiong is no longer what it used to be, not only received an invitation, but also sat with Shao Yifu, such an arrangement is naturally a reflection of his identity and status, but the organizer should have taken into account the relationship between him and Shao Yifu when arranging specific seats.
As the time to leave the theater got closer and closer, the number of people in the theater gradually increased, looking at the faces that walked into the theater, he couldn't help nodding secretly, the people who were in the mainland still accounted for the majority. Judging from the situation on the scene, the invited guests should be mainly people from the entertainment industry and cultural circles, Wrinkles Bad, Pan Disheng, Cheng Long, Zhou Yunfa and others are here, and the location is not far from him and Shao Yifu.
There are also economic and political circles. Of course, there are no real bigwigs among them, they are basically some young people, such as Huo Zhenting.
The two also chatted a few words. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, not to see any beauty, but a man who was not very tall and had an inch head, this man was none other than a Chinese movie star who would be as famous in Hollywood as Cheng Long in the original history.
Li Lianjie, known as the 'Emperor of Kung Fu', instantly popped up many films starring Li Lianjie in his mind, especially the classic Wong Fei Hung series. There is no doubt that it was a surprise for him to meet Li Lianjie tonight, but it is also relieved to think about it.
As early as a few years ago, Li Lianjie became popular all over Asia with the two films "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Kid", and also has a high reputation in Hong Kong. In addition, Li Lianzhuo, who hails from the mainland and has won several national martial arts championships, is not surprising that he will be invited.
"What, you are also optimistic about Li Lianjie?" Shao Yifu followed Wei Xiong's gaze and quickly noticed Li Lianjie who was looking for a seat.
"I have seen both of his famous works, not only has a good personal image, but also the martial arts action is very ornamental. Also, he has a deep foundation in martial arts, and can complete many martial arts actions that ordinary actors can't do, and is a very potential actor. ”
"In the future, his achievements will never be worse than Cheng Long, or even surpass. Wei Xiong retracted his gaze, looked at Shao Yifu, and said with a smile: "These Shibo should know better than me, if it weren't for the general trend, maybe the Shao Brothers would still be cooperating with him now." ”
After becoming famous with "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Kid", in 1984, Li Lianjie participated in Shaw Brothers' "North and South Shaolin", which was well received and achieved a good box office. However, during the filming of a fight scene in "North and South Shaolin", he fell from a height, resulting in a dislocation of the spine, a serious strain of back muscles, and a serious injury caused by the dehiscence of the fifth lumbar vertebrae, and it took more than a year to recover.
At this time, Shaw Brothers had discontinued, and the two sides had no basis for further cooperation.
"Old man, I don't have the momentum of my youth, and the people around me don't support it, and the Hong Kong film industry will be the world of you young people in the future. ”
Looking at Shao Yifu with emotion on his face, Wei Xiong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, all the previous signs showed that Shao Yifu was not completely dead to the movie, and he might come back when he would kill him, but now listening to this tone, it is quite a bit of an old and gloomy meaning.
It seems that Fang Yihua is against it.
You must know that Shao Yifu's relationship with his children is not good, he has been assisted by Fang Yihua by his side for so many years, if Fang Yihua insists on objecting, he will indeed have a lot of worries, after all, he is nearly eighty years old, and no one can guarantee that he can live for a few more years.
The martial arts show began.
To be honest, Wei Xiong has no interest in the so-called martial arts performance at all, he came today, it is more of a gesture, I believe that many people present are also like this, so that not long after the performance began, he was distracted, and he didn't wake up until a burst of applause.
A young man on the stage held a long knife and clenched his fist to the audience to say goodbye, then turned and entered the backstage. At this moment, a staff member walked up to him and handed him a note: "Mr. Wei, this is a young lady who asked me to pass it on to you." ”
took the note with a puzzled expression, and before Wei Xiong opened it, Shao Yifu next to him smiled and said, "The virtuous nephew is really popular." ”
Shi Bo laughed, maybe it was a prank by some boring person. As he spoke, Wei Xiong opened the note, and soon a trace of distress appeared on his face, the other party would write this note to him, obviously at the scene, but he didn't turn his head to look for it.
"I don't take the initiative to provoke it, why did I stick to it myself, am I really so attractive?" couldn't help but be narcissistic in his heart, and then he put his attention on the stage, even if he was no longer interested, but he still had to do what he had to do.
Strictly speaking, the young people who perform these performances are indeed very good, after all, they are carefully selected, the basic skills are very solid, and the difficulty of some movements is also very high, but Wei Xiong always feels a little out of practice, in his opinion, martial arts should be used for fighting,
It's not for performance, which he can't accept psychologically, so he has little interest in this kind of martial arts performance.
