Zou Wenhuai was thinking hard about it, and his long-awaited right-hand man, He Guanchang, finally arrived, and brought the latest news he had learned about DreamWorks' plan to set up a theater chain.

Tang Huan has already adjusted the acquired Jardine and Hongkong Land to be obedient, and those British who are not convinced not only have no chance to make waves, but also are pressed on the head by another group of Britons led by New Bijian. ”

Speaking of this, He Guanchang shook his head with interest, "It's so easy for such a powerful landowner in Xiangjiang to allocate some properties to the theater." Although we don't know the details yet, it is enough to just release this intention. ”

"It takes more time to start from scratch, and from the cost point of view, it may not be cost-effective, and Tang Huan, who has strong financial resources, cannot take the shortcut to acquisition. Zou Wenhuai asked with a deep groan, "How did I hear that the Huo family intends to build a cinema with Tang Huan?"

The news spread crookedly, and the Huo family just clarified that they planned to transfer the management rights of Xinguang Cinema to Tang Huan. He Guanchang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I estimate that the Huo family found out that this Xinguang Theater is not completely commercialized, so they almost lost money and made money, even if they don't care about that loss, they can't afford to worry about it, so they retreated." ”

This just shows that although DreamWorks' theater chain has not yet been formed, it has an amazing ability to digest it. Zou Wenhuai looked worried, "Xiangjiang is such a big place, there are already several large-scale cinema chains, and Tang Huan, a predator, will inevitably bring greater operating pressure if he squeezes in again." ”

"Perhaps, we can think of opening some. He Guanchang also showed helplessness, "The first unlucky ones are those small fish." And the Golden Harvest Cinema Line has deep roots. It's not that easy to handle. ”

"Then let's go and see. Zou Wenhuai bowed slightly. Then he admonished, "You have to keep an eye on Ah Long, I find that he seems to be very worried lately." ”

"Don't worry, he can't run. He Guanchang laughed, "He felt the pressure from Li Lianjie, the protagonist of "Fang Shiyu", after all, that style can indeed be unique to start a sect." ”

"You say, can we dig up Li Lianjie?" Zou Wenhuai, whose eyes flickered, made a gesture.

As soon as I heard this. He Guanchang hurriedly persuaded Zou Wenhuai to dispel this idea, "Let's not touch this tiger's buttocks, for a long time, Tang Huan has not focused on DreamWorks, and Hu Yinmeng, as an agent, although she is a talented woman and very talented, her business style has always been very kind, not as scheming as Lei Juekun of Golden Princess Entertainment Company." Unscrupulous means, sneakily smashed out 2 million. Scooped Xu Guanjie out of our hands. ”

Observing Zou Wenhuai's face, He Guanchang continued to speak. "It's hard to predict whether the digging of Li Lianjie will succeed, but it is likely to annoy Hu Yinmeng, and then move out Tang Huan. This person's ruthlessness in dealing with Jardine and chasing and fighting fiercely has to be guarded against. ”

"Perhaps, the delicate balance now is the most appropriate, for the good of all parties. Zou Wenhuai sighed, "I remember when I was young, like Shao Laoliu, I was used to defeating all competitors and eating alone. ”

"Actually, Shao Laoliu's business style is also quietly changing, the bit of greasy between TVB and Media Asia TV, I really think that outsiders are stupid, I can't see it, how long has it been since the two TV stations have been in the prime time of TV dramas, fighting like Heli's TV before?"

He Guanchang looked sarcastic, "That's just it, the ace TV series of the two TV stations are almost just staggered, and the advertising prices are also increasing simultaneously, how can there be so many coincidences?

"Maybe it's really a change in mentality as I get older. Zou Wenhuai showed a look of nostalgia on his face, "If I'm not mistaken, Shao Laoliu is 20 years older than me, 75 this year, I am 55, you are 57, what about Tang Huan? Is he 30 years old this year?"

"Older comes with the benefits of being older, and we're more seasoned in business. He Guanchang hurriedly diverted from this helpless and unsolvable topic, and said: "Do we still want to talk to Tang Huan about cooperation in Hollywood?"

"Let's go out for an interview first to find out the other party's attitude. Zou Wenhuai thought for a while before answering, "Lest I come forward, and the other party's conditions are too harsh, resulting in no room for maneuver." ”

The two were discussing things, and Liu Lianghua walked in excitedly, "I just learned some more about the situation related to the formation of DreamWorks Cinemas, do you want to listen?"

There is an interesting phenomenon in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, in the early 1970s, Zou Wenhuai betrayed Shaw Brothers with his own team, and after setting up his own door, he not only competed with Run Run Shaw in the film industry, but even was not inferior in terms of confidantes.

Run Run Shaw's side is Fang Yihua, and Zou Wenhuai's side is the Liu Lianghua in front of him, who belongs to the same era as Fang Yihua.

Of course, whether it is Liu Lianghua or Fang Yihua now, there is no momentum of Hu Yinmeng.

The gap here is not only that Hu Yinmeng, who is not yet thirty years old, is more prosperous, more famous, and more educational, but also that she has been authorized more resources.

Fang Yihua is in Shaw Brothers and TVB, and Liu Lianghua is in Golden Harvest, which is indeed a high authority, but Hu Yinmeng is the actual leader in DreamWorks, and even the "dream" in the name of DreamWorks is the "dream" in Hu Yinmeng's name, and the meaning is self-evident.

The relationship between men and women, which can be called the oldest social existence, although it is essentially a virtue, but after being crowned as a "confidante", it immediately becomes lofty and talked about.

Take the three legendary women in the current Xiangjiang film and television industry, Fang Yihua, Liu Lianghua, and Hu Yinmeng, everyone has long forgotten to think about whether it is suitable or not, and instead of envy and admiration.

Of course, three women belonging to different camps will not be divided into the same category because of boring public opinion, and they will meet each other and kiss each other, not to mention the universal law that opposites attract and repel each other.

"Where did you get the news?" Hearing Liu Lianghua's offering of treasure, Zou Wenhuai asked with great interest.

"It's right there at DreamWorks. Liu Lianghua replied with a smile. Seeing Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, they both looked surprised. She went on to add: "You big men won't notice. Hu Yinmeng, Yu Zheng, Lin Yanni, Shi Nansheng, Zhang Aijia These little girls have slowly created a women's salon, and they meet regularly in DreamWorks to discuss the depth of the topic, which is no worse than that of men. ”

"I guess you saw something interesting, so you added it to join in the fun. Zou Wenhuai laughed disappreciatively.

"As I've said, this salon is very unusual. Feeling that he was being slighted, Liu Lianghua rolled his eyes dissatisfied. "Besides, Fang Yihua is involved, how can I be left behind. ”

Of course, Zou Wenhuai didn't bother to continue arguing about this issue, and asked instead, "Could it be that at this party, the matter of DreamWorks setting up a theater was also discussed?"

"That's it. Liu Lianghua nodded, "This matter has been decided, and Hu Yinmeng has received Tang Huan's full support." However, the specific operation was entrusted to the Jiang Zhiqiang brothers, and it will be through self-construction, acquisition, and franchise. It will be operational by Christmas this year at the latest. ”

"If you have a lot of money, you just act decisively. He Guanchang sighed with emotion.

Hu Yinmeng took out these news and said it, which was inevitably a suspicion of showing off. Zou Wenhuai quipped.

"It's just a casual remark, but the real purpose is to discuss how to build a movie theater from a woman's point of view. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Lianghua continued in the language: "For example, the leisure facilities around the cinema, such as restaurants, casinos, beauty salons, etc. ”

"You women, you are really self-centered. Zou Wenhuai shook his head disappreciatively.

"The entire DreamWorks cinema chain will be fully computer-managed, so we can plan more in detail in terms of movie tickets, and there will be more special offers in addition to regular tickets, student tickets, and membership tickets. Liu Lianghua looked at Zou Wenhuai and smiled slightly, "The membership card alone has endless tricks, so I still save effort and don't talk about it." ”

"Don't bother, tell me. Zou Wenhuai frowned, "You guys have a pretty good discussion." ”

"Then I'll just say a few things. Liu Lianghua nodded, "For example, car storage services, discounts for purchasing tickets for more than 20 hours in advance, discounts for literary films, discounts for watching literary films for the second time, preferential days for men, preferential days for women, and so on." ”

Hearing this, Zou Wenhuai gasped, "Let's not talk about whether these ideas are feasible, just these results, ordinary people may not be able to discuss them, your party is of a very high standard." ”

"I'm convinced. Liu Lianghua smiled proudly, "Do you still want to listen to the idea of dividing the hall, middle hall, and small hall in the movie theater?"

Zou Wenhuai waved his hand, "I admit that this women's salon is not a general gathering to discuss topics such as beauty, it is indeed of a very high standard." ”

He Guanchang joked on the side: "The role that can be played by bringing the energy of these women together is definitely very impressive." ”

"How can it be so monolithic, there is no contradiction. Liu Lianghua smiled meaningfully, "For example, at this party, Hu Yinmeng and Fang Yihua had a dispute, Hu Yinmeng fell in love with one of the participants in this year's Miss Xiangjiang contest and the rookie singing contest, but before she could get in touch with a result, she was blocked by Fang Yihua, there is a lot of fun in it." ”

……

In fact, as Liu Lianghua said, Fang Yihua's vigilance against Hu Yinmeng really reached the point of strict defense, and when he found out that the other party was interested in Kwong Meiyun, a candidate for Miss Xiangjiang's election, and Mei Aifang and Anita Mui, the contestants of the rookie singing contest, he immediately took decisive action.

The Miss Xiangjiang contest that has been held for many years, and the rookie singing contest that is about to kick off, are all star-making cradles for TVB blood transfusion, how can you let this girl pick up ready-made cheapness.

Especially after seeing Kuang Meiyun, Mei Aifang, and Anita Mui with her own eyes, and finding that the three of them were of excellent quality, Fang Yihua felt more and more that she had dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of Hu Yinmeng, an old opponent.

There is another place that makes Hu Yinmeng deflated, and it also makes Fang Yihua's heart feel refreshed, that is, the cooperation between TVB and Deng Lijun.

As early as 1981, when Deng Lijun released her first Cantonese record "Incompatible", she sang the theme song for TVB TV series, which made the two sides have a good foundation for cooperation.

Fang Yihua believes that Deng Lijun will definitely maintain a relationship with Tang Huan, so after Tang Huan successfully bought Li's TV and DreamWorks rose rapidly, she didn't expect TVB to continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with Deng Lijun, after all, people have their own resources, and they are more convenient to use.

What Fang Yihua never expected was that when she tried to contact Deng Lijun to seek cooperation, the other party agreed very happily.

Fang Yihua, who was deeply surprised, was overjoyed, and slowly figured out the subtlety.

Deng Lijun has a relationship with Tang Huan, but Hu Yinmeng and Tang Huan have nothing to do with each other? The word "dream" in the name of DreamWorks has deeply laid the brand of Hu Yinmeng.

In other words, DreamWorks is a sphere of influence exclusive to Hu Yinmeng, and Deng Lijun is of course reluctant to go to the other party's territory to carry out activities, because "the king does not see the king".

Regarding Deng Lijun's choice, Hu Yinmeng must have no choice. Expanding from this, Fang Yihua seems to have discovered the latest effective means to deal with Hu Yinmeng and DreamWorks.

After meeting Run Run Shaw, Fang Yihua reported the information he had collected about DreamWorks Cinemas.

She was just about to turn around and talk about the upcoming Miss Xiangjiang election, when she suddenly heard Run Run Shaw slowly say: "You find an opportunity to test it and see if Tang Huan is interested in the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and whether he is willing to start a new cooperation on this." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yihua was stunned, originally she thought that Run Run Shaw cared about the progress of the formation of DreamWorks Cinemas because of the consideration of competitors, but she didn't expect that the real purpose was to seek cooperation.

"Tang Huan is now the largest landlord in Xiangjiang, with a lot of ready-made property resources in his hands, and it is very simple to build a cinema line for DreamWorks. Fang Yihua persuaded.

"The formation of the cinema chain is not as simple as you think, the formation of the popularity of a cinema has an indistinguishable relationship with the time, place, and people, whether Tang Huan is building a new theater or making an acquisition, he cannot quickly reach the level of the current Shaw Brothers cinema line at this point, and this is the basis of our cooperation. ”

Run Run Shaw's eyes shone with wisdom, "To give you a principle, that is, the premise must be based on the unified action of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and any cooperation cannot just choose those few flagship stores and ignore other small and medium-sized theaters." (To be continued......)
