In the 80s, the population of Xiangjiang was more than 5 million, which was many times less than the population of most provinces in China and G.
Therefore, Xiangjiang is really a small place.
How many theaters do you need to build a cinema chain in such a small Xiangjiang?
Let's talk about the current major theater chains first.
1. The Golden Princess Cinema Line, which has 24 cinemas, is currently the largest cinema chain in Xiangjiang.
2. Golden Harvest Cinema Line, which has 19 cinemas, is currently the second largest cinema chain in Hong Kong.
3. The Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, which has 14 cinemas, is currently the third largest cinema chain in Hong Kong.
4. Shuangnan Cinema Line, which has 13 cinemas, is currently the fourth largest cinema chain in Xiangjiang.
Why are there only so many theaters in each of these four major cinema chains, is it because they don't have the money to rent and buy cinemas?
Of course not!
Lei Juekun and Shao Yifu are both rare wealthy people in Xiangjiang - each of them has billions of assets, and this is not counting the assets held by their family.
Shuangnan Cinema Line is even more powerful - behind it stands a big country, and it is even easier for it to expand its cinema line!
Even if Zou Wenhuai, who is relatively rich and powerless, wants to expand the theater chain, there are countless theaters vying to join the Golden Harvest Cinema Line.
So why don't several major cinema chains expand their cinema chains, and Shaw Brothers Cinemas not only does not expand, but also cuts its own wings?
The answer is very simple - because several major cinema chains are already saturated, adding one more cinema is a burden for several major cinema chains.
Calculate the more than 14,600 seats in Xu Cun's eight theaters and movie theaters -- if Xu Cun's eight theaters and movie theaters show five movies every day and the venues are full, then in a month, these eight theaters and movie theaters alone will have 2.2 million moviegoers.
The number of moviegoers accounts for almost half of the total number of people in Xiangjiang.
Therefore, too many theaters in this small place in Xiangjiang is a heavy burden for a theater chain.
Therefore, the cinema chain in Xu Cun's heart is a cinema chain composed of fifteen of the world's most advanced cinemas and cinemas.
With Xu Cun's wealth, it would be too easy to buy seven more cinemas or build seven cinemas!
But cinemas and cinemas are no better than any other -- cinemas and cinemas have too high requirements for location! Locations are not good, and no matter how good a movie is, it will not sell at the box office!
Moreover, Xu Cun, who knows the future development trend, knows that in a few years, the theater chain and the theater chain will have to fight each other, and there will be a cruel game in which the winner survives and the loser disappears.
Xu Cun doesn't want the theater chain he built to disappear!
Therefore, the remaining seven cinemas or cinemas, Xu Cun must buy or build them in the best locations!
In addition, Xu Cun's establishment of a temporary cinema chain is not without a goal - normally, fifteen cinemas and movie theaters are enough for DreamWorks, but if Xu Cun's movies or other big productions of DreamWorks are released, fifteen theaters and movie theaters may be a little insufficient, so that temporary theaters can be used as backup theaters to release the box office potential of the film.
Therefore, temporary theaters are very important to DreamWorks and Xu Cun now and in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Cun called Jiang Zhiwen in person for the first time, and took the time to meet the two brothers Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang.
……
Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang, especially Jiang Zhiqiang, who is responsible for buying films and foreign films in Europe and the United States, admire Xu Cun, a legendary man who is even younger than them!
Therefore, in the face of Xu Cun's appointment, Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang arrived at DreamWorks early.
As soon as the three of them met, Xu Cun politely shook hands with Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang respectively, and then said: "I have admired the names of the two for a long time, and I have long planned to meet the two, but I have never been able to pull away. ”
Xu Cun's words are not lies, at least half of them are not lies - Xu Cun really wanted to meet Jiang Zhiqiang, the driving force behind Chinese movies, for a long time.
After listening to Xu Cun's words, Jiang Zhiwen said: "Mr. Xu, you are too polite, our two brothers have admired you for a long time, and it is a pity that we have not had the opportunity to see you!"
Jiang Zhiqiang conformed to Jiang Zhiwen: "Our two brothers have indeed admired Mr. Xu for a long time, let me tell you a little secret, when I buy films abroad, foreigners often ask me if I know you, are you friends? I always answer them, I have been friends with you for many years. Then, Jiang Zhiqiang clenched his fists and said: "Please also Mr. Xu, you have a lot, don't expose my lies, otherwise, I will never be able to buy films in foreign countries again." ”
Xu Cun said with a smile: "In the future, you can confidently tell those gringos that I, Xu Cun, am good friends with you Jiang Zhiqiang!"
Seeing that Xu Cun didn't have much of a fight, Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang had a better impression of Xu Cun. Based on this, without waiting for Xu Cun to speak, Jiang Zhiwen said, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about the temporary theater?"
Entertaining Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang to sit down, Xu Cuncai said: "Whenever my DreamWorks has a movie to be released, DreamWorks will notify you, you can come and watch the film, let's talk, you can form a temporary theater, and when this movie is finished, the theater will be automatically disbanded, and then you can freely screen any movie you want to show." ”
For scattered theaters like Anle Cinema Line, the biggest problem is the lack of film sources and instability!
Therefore, having DreamWorks as a partner that can provide high-quality film sources is of course a great thing for scattered theaters like Anle Cinema Line!
What's even better is that Xu Cun didn't force them to release DreamWorks movies.
Therefore, Jiang Zhiwen, who did not have any reason to refuse to form a temporary cinema chain, only thought for a while before standing up and shaking hands with Xu Cun and said, "The four theaters of our Anle Cinema Line are willing to join the temporary cinema chain. ”
Xu Cun got up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang, who stood up later, respectively, and said with a smile: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Therefore, after shaking hands with Xu Cun, Jiang Zhiqiang, who did not know that Xu Cun already had eight theaters and cinemas in his hands, said in a sincere tone: "Mr. Xu, please forgive me, even if you combine all the scattered theaters in Xiangjiang to form a temporary theater chain, and cooperate with Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Compared with the four major theater chains in Shuangnan, you are also in a slight position, and I think you might as well cooperate with one or even a part of them first, so that the movie you worked so hard to shoot will not be buried. ”
Xu Cun, who has a very high emotional intelligence, can naturally hear that Jiang Zhiqiang has good intentions! Therefore, Xu Cun left his chair and came to Jiang Zhiqiang's side, then patted Jiang Zhiqiang on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Ah Qiang, I use the word 'Xu Cun' to guarantee that the free cinema line that you Anle Cinema Line has joined is definitely the first cinema line in Xiangjiang!"
