Fang Jianhui's mansion.

Tonight, Fang Jianhui's big room and second room were all gathered, and a room full of warblers and swallows, and the sound of coquettish and tactful voices was endless.

"Xiaoyi, my sister has something to tell you. Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia called Zhu Baoyi to one place alone, Zhong Chuhong said.

Zhu Baoyi was a little nervous when he was called, and after hearing Zhong Chuhong's words, he cried out with a "wow": "Sister Hong, are you going to drive me away?"

"Xiaoyi, what do you want?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Fang Jianhui hurriedly appeared, hugged Zhu Baoyi into his arms, and kissed her cheek distressedly: "Each of you is my brother's heart, and I will never drive any of them away." He said to Zhong Chuhong again: "Red beans, look at you, scare Xiaoyi like this." ”

Zhong Chuhong saw that Zhu Baoyi was scared to cry, and he also felt sorry: "Xiaoyi, it's all because I didn't pay attention to the tone of my speech, my sister assures you that my sister never thought of driving you away." ”

Zhu Baoyi understood that he was going to be wrong, and he was very embarrassed: "Brother, sister, I'm sorry, I thought too much." ”

"It's okay, it's all my fault. Fang Jianhui blamed himself: "It's my problem, it's me who didn't make you feel safe." Brother gave you too little, can't give you a beautiful wedding, I dare not admit that you are my woman, but can only say that I am a sister, today, it seems that you don't even have a basic sense of security. ”

"No, no, brother, you've given me too much. Zhu Baoyi saw that he blamed himself, and said hurriedly: "It's me who likes to think nonsense, like Anne and Xiaoying, they never think about this." ”

"Okay, okay!" Lin Qingxia played a round: "You don't want to be weird one by one, you are all good, all right." He said to Zhu Baoyi again: "Xiaoyi, the two of us are looking for you together today, and we do have one thing to tell you." ”

"Sister Xia, what's the matter?" Zhu Baoyi gradually regained his composure.

"That's the case, I discussed with your Sister Hong and wanted to transfer you to my side, and your Sister Hong agreed, and now I'm here to ask your opinion. Lin Qingxia said.

"Don't think about it, among the few of you, I am most satisfied with you, when Sister Xia said it, I was very reluctant to let you go. Zhong Chuhong was afraid that she would want to be crooked again, and said: "But thinking about it, you are all from Taiwan, it may be better to be together, and besides, I see that you often can't compete with Annie, Xiaoying, and Ah Zhi, so I thought that when you got to Sister Xia, Sister Lijun and Sally have good personalities, and you will get along better." ”

Zhu Baoyi understood now and said, "I listen to my brother and sister, you can tell me whatever you want." ”

Zhong Chuhong said with a smile: "Don't think that Sister Hong doesn't want you anymore, even if you go to Sister Xia's side, Sister Hong will welcome our family here at any time." ”

Lin Qingxia also said: "Then it's decided, Xiaoyi, you will follow me in the future." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Baoyi responded.

With a "ding" sound, a prompt sounded in Fang Jianhui's mind, and the system told him that Zhu Baoyi's superior had been changed to 'Lin Qingxia'.

Zhu Baoyi moved to Lin Qingxia's place, but Zhong Chuhong still kept the room here for her, after a period of coexistence, Lin Qingxia finally understood Zhu Baoyi's situation clearly, although she was a little disappointed in her combat effectiveness, but she liked her well-behaved and obedient very much. And with Zhu Baoyi, plus Ye Qianwen, Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun, two mahjong lovers, they can finally get together a table of mahjong at any time.

Zhu Baoyi is also very satisfied, Lin Qingxia has a gentle temperament, and Teresa Teng and Ye Qianwen are also good-tempered and easy to get along with, which makes her more comfortable.

Broadcast Road Wireless Building.

"The latest ratings data is out, right?" asked Shao Lao.

"It's out. In the last month, the share of our wireless ratings has been slightly lower than that of ATV, which was stable at 48 to 52. However, the recent ATV singing competition has attracted a lot of attention, which has led to a further drop in our ratings, especially in last night's final, where our ratings were only 20%. Manager Fang said.

Shao Lao waved his hand and said: "The singing competition is not afraid, no matter how good it is, it is a gust of wind, and he can't compete every day." ”

Manager Fang: "There is a very important situation, I heard that ATV has introduced a program called 'Millionaire' from the American Fox TV Network, which is ready to be launched during the Christmas period. It seems that Fang Jianhui attaches great importance to this show, and personally selected personnel to go to Fox in the United States to learn the production experience of the United States throughout the process. Recently, these personnel have returned to Xiangjiang, and the United States has also sent many people to make intensive preparations. ”

"Millionaire?" Shao Lao thought for a while and said, "It seems that someone below mentioned this show, it seems that it is very popular in the United States, and TV stations in many countries have spent a lot of money to introduce it." ”

"Yes, it is said that ATV paid $5 million to Fox TV Network for the copyright fee alone. Manager Fang said: "However, Fang Jianhui also has shares in the Fox TV network, and for him, it is just the left pocket to the right pocket." ”

At the mention of this, Shao Lao couldn't help but be a little speechless, Fang Jianhui's empire was really a bit huge, and it was too laborious for him to compete with it with the land of Xiangjiang projectiles.

First of all, in the movie, both in production and distribution, he lost to his opponents in all aspects, and he encountered Fang Jianhui's movies before and needed to retreat, this year Fang Jianhui did not shoot a Hong Kong film, and with the group of people under him, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest were all powerless. Then on TV, for more than a year, ATV's strong dramas have been released one after another, supplemented by the silver bullet offensive, and the wireless has been defeated and retreated, and now the trend of strength and weakness has reversed, and the ratings have surpassed that of wireless. If you wait for this 'millionaire' who is awesome when you hear it, it is conceivable that the ratings of wireless will definitely fall further.

"This millionaire is not a good man, and we have to deal with it. Shao Lao groaned: "My opinion is: First, we also have to launch a new variety show to compete with it, and it is not enough to just have fun tonight." The second is to see if we can join forces with Golden Harvest in the movie, and the two sides will share resources in production and distribution, in order to find some trouble for Fang Jianhui. ”

"Okay. Manager Fang agreed.

ATV from November 1st, in the whole Xiangjiang fanfare to promote the "millionaire", for a time "knowledge is wealth", "the book has its own golden house" slogans overwhelming, every Xiangjiang people know that ATV is about to start such a program, anyone can answer 15 questions correctly can take away a prize of 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

The extremely low threshold for participation and the temptation of extremely high bonuses made people who thought they had two brushes ready to move, and after ATV announced the answer call, the number of participants was so large that the call was blown up almost immediately.

On November 15, Fang Jianhui held a joint meeting at Angel Pictures to deploy and arrange the next stage of film shooting, distribution, cinema and other aspects of work, with Wu Diming, Chen Xunqi, Huang Baiming, Shi Nansheng, etc.

After everyone made a report on their recent work, Wu Diming said: "Jianhui, Lao Zhang of Anle Cinema Line has come to me again. ”

As soon as he said this, the participants all laughed, 'Lao Zhang' is Zhang Liang, the boss of Anle Cinema Line, he is looking for Wu Diming, needless to say, it must be for the release of "Alien ET". Fang Jianhui's previous movies "Home Alone" and "Ghost Love", etc., he came to ask for a joint screening with Angel Cinemas. In the spirit of being kind to others, Fang Jianhui also agreed.

Fang Jianhui's "Alien ET" has been released in North America for 5 months since June 11, with a total box office of 283 million, which has broken N records. The box office in the last week is still as much as 5 million, ranking second in the week, looking at this trend, it can be screened for another half a year.

At present, the film will only be released in North America, and large-scale overseas releases will begin at the end of this month, according to the plan submitted by Fox to Fang Jianhui, the first batch of Australia and South Africa is November 26, then France (December 1), the Netherlands (December 2), RB (December 4), Italy (December 6), the United Kingdom (December 10), and major overseas markets will be fully painted during the Christmas period.

Fools know that the screening of "Alien ET" is a sure-fire deal, and it is normal for this old Zhang to come over again.

Fang Jianhui also smiled and said, "Lao Zhang is a kind person, promise him." ”

Wu Diming said: "No, this time, in addition to requesting the screening rights of "Alien ET", Lao Zhang also has a proposal, which is to ask us to acquire his Anle Cinema Line. ”

"Oh, and this?" Fang Jianhui really didn't expect it.

"Yes, how else to say that Lao Zhang is kind?" Wu Diming said: "He thinks that he always takes advantage of us and doesn't want to go, so he thinks that we will buy him, and the two will become one, and there will be no one who takes advantage of whom." ”

Chen Xunqi said with a smile: "Lao Zhang is kind, and he is also proficient." His Anle Cinema Line has always been a screening of Western films, and he buys films all over the world all year round, and now as long as he relies on Jianhui and has the big backstage of Twentieth Century Fox, at least the source of the film is not worried. ”

Fang Jianhui said: "Anyway, it's a win-win situation. Uncle Wu, then you will be a little tired, and talk to him about the acquisition in detail. Wu Diming is really busy, in addition to the original Angel Cinema Line, the construction of the Angel Film and Television City, which has invested one billion, is also managed by him.

"Okay. Wu Diming responded, there are a lot of things, but the busier he is, the more energetic he is.

"By the way, when it comes to cinemas, I have an idea here. Fang Jianhui said: "I made an art film in RB before, called "Narayama Festival Examination", which is ready to be released in May next year. This reminds me of the problem of the screening of art films, or niche films. ”

"Art films are different from the commercial films I used to make, and their artistic standards and expressions determine that there will not be too many people watching them. Like our Angel Cinema Line, there are thousands of people in a big theater at every turn, and it will definitely be dissatisfied when the time comes. In other words, it does not meet the screening standards in our theaters. ”

"What should I do?" Fang Jianhui asked himself: "I think of the kind of multiplex theater in the United States, a theater, in addition to one hall, there are several to a dozen small halls. Commercial blockbusters are shown in the lobby, and minor films or art films are screened in the small hall. There are few people watching art films, and there are no more than 1,000 people in the hall, but it is still okay to sit in a small hall full of 100 people. ”

"The benefits of multiplexes are numerous. Wu Diming also seems to have studied this issue, saying: "First, the number of films screened, the subject matter, and the level are more, not only art films, but some of our important films, in the later stage of the screening, when the attendance rate is not enough, they can be moved to the small hall to continue to be screened." Second, because there are many halls and the time is staggered, the audience can watch at any time. However, the disadvantage is that the investment is large, and the renovation of our existing theaters is very expensive and the cycle is relatively long. ”

"My idea is that our existing theater is not going to touch it. Fang Jianhui said: "Conduct a pilot in the newly opened theater, accumulate experience, and if it is indeed feasible, slowly promote it in the whole theater chain." ”

Fang Jianhui's idea was very safe, and everyone agreed.
