After taking the two pieces of land by the sea on Hong Kong Island and the old wing of the Miramar Hotel, and being served by He Chaoqiong, Mei Aifang, and Li Zhi for half a night, Xu Cun's mood was originally very good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Shi Nansheng's phone call made Xu Cun's good mood disappear!

A few days ago, Shi Nansheng asked Jiang Ran, the general manager of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, to discuss the release of "The True Color of Heroes" in the Chinese New Year.

But Jiang Ran has been shirking and perfunctory this matter.

In the past few years, Shi Nansheng has not been a fool in vain - when he found that something seemed wrong, Shi Nansheng immediately found the insiders of the Golden Princess Cinema Line to inquire about the situation.

Under the question, Shi Nansheng was immediately furious - it turned out that the Golden Princess Cinema Line had already been arranged, and on February 5th, the twenty-four theaters of the Golden Princess Cinema Line screened "The Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers".

This matter is no longer something that Shi Nansheng's level can handle. Therefore, Shi Nansheng called Xu Cun's family at the first time, and finally found Xu Cun at Lizhi's house and reported the matter to Xu Cun.

To say, Lei Juekun's move is understandable.

After all, Xinyicheng is the son of the Golden Princess Cinemas, and DreamWorks is just an outsider who has helped the Golden Princess Cinemas make some money and tide over some difficulties.

Earlier, the son of Xinyicheng had not grown up, and the Golden Princess Cinema Line naturally had to rely on DreamWorks, an outsider.

Now, the son of Xinyicheng is an adult, and he has also handed over good results like "Best Partner". As a father, how can Lei Juekun not support his son?

In this regard, Xu Cun, who has always been empathetic, will never be angry.

But Lei Juekun should not have notified Xu Cun in advance, so that Xu Cun could be caught blind during the golden time of the Chinese New Year!

Actually,

Xu Cun can also understand Lei Juekun's little abacus, knowing that Lei Juekun is afraid that Xu Cun will be annoyed and ashamed, and then use "The True Colors of Heroes" to snipe "The Best Partner" like "Male and Female Thieves" to snipe "Happy Fairy Nest".

But understanding is understanding, but Xu Cun can't tolerate Lei Juekun's despicable practice!

After covering He Chaoqiong and Mei Aifang with the quilt, Xu Cun left Lizhi's house with Lizhi, and then went to Dreamworks.

As soon as he arrived at DreamWorks, Xu Cun personally called Shao Yifu and borrowed a cinema line from Shao Yifu.

As a result, Shao Yifu said to Xu Cun very politely: "Ah Cun, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the people below have already arranged for the full screening of "Interstellar Blunt Tire 2" on the seventh." So, this time the sixth uncle can only say sorry......"

Before calling Shao Yifu, Xu Cun was mentally prepared to be rejected by Shao Yifu - Phoenix Channel forced TVB so badly, it was normal for Shao Yifu not to lend him Xu Cun's cinema line!

Knowing that he would be rejected by Shao Yifu, why did Xu Cun call Shao Yifu again?

The answer is simple, because Xu Cun lacks a reason to withdraw the right to distribute overseas in Asia.

Countless overseas cinema chains, including Cathay Pacific, have long wanted to connect directly with DreamWorks, eliminating the need for middlemen (Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest) to earn the difference.

In addition, Xu Cun already has half of the cinema chain and is very rich, and he is fully equipped with the conditions to set up his own cinema chain, so he no longer needs to rely on Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas to distribute DreamWorks movies.

Therefore, Xu Cun has no reason to let Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest continue to make their own money.

After hanging up Shao Yifu's phone, Xu Cun made another call to Zou Wenhuai.

In eighty-two years, Zou Wen was very unhappy!

In the whole year of '82, Golden Harvest only had one "Young Master Dragon" that could be regarded as a masterpiece, and the other movies were almost wiped out.

Not to mention DreamWorks, an opponent that makes it difficult for Zou Wen to compete, even Xinyicheng and Yindu have stepped on the head of Jiahe - Xinyicheng's "Best Shooting", "Difficult Brothers", "Little Scared", and "Horror Night" have achieved good results, and even Yindu has made a "Shaolin Temple" and a "Defection to the Angry Sea" (Xu Anhua attached "Running to the Angry Sea" to Starlight Entertainment Co., Ltd., which was distributed by Jade Bird Film Company, and Jade Bird Film Company used the cinema chain of Yindu. Disgusting Zou Wenhuai.

How can Zou Wenhuai, who is bent on carrying forward the film industry, be happy?

Therefore, Zou Wenhuai brought together Golden Harvest's generals Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Biao to come up with "Plan A", and wanted to use "Plan A" to fight a beautiful turnaround battle in the Lunar New Year.

Therefore, Zou Wenhuai also politely refused Xu Cun's loan for the theater.

After hanging up Zou Wenhuai's phone, Xu Cuncai called the person he really wanted to call - Jiang Zhiwen.

Jiang Zhiwen is also a little famous in the Chinese film industry, but his fame is far less powerful than his younger brother Jiang Zhiqiang - Jiang Zhiqiang will have the title of the driving force behind Chinese films in the future, Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Zhang Yimou's "Hero" were all released in North America with Jiang Zhiqiang's help and achieved excellent box office results. This shows Jiang Zhiqiang's fame.

The reason why Xu Cun personally called Jiang Zhiqiang's brother Jiang Zhiwen was because the Jiang family had four theaters with about 1,000 seats - Anle Cinema Line (the box office dark horse "The Bitter War" in 80 was released by Anle Cinema Line), and the affairs of Anle Cinema Line are now handled by Jiang Zhiwen.

Now, although Xu Cun has eight theaters in his hands, it is very unfavorable for DreamWorks to compete with Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City with these eight theaters, and these eight theaters cannot release the box office potential of movies like "The True Color of Heroes".

Therefore, before there is a complete cinema line, Xu Cun plans to set up a temporary cinema line first.

What is a temporary cinema chain?

In the last life, after the decline of the Xiangjiang film industry, the cinema chain could no longer survive - take Huang Baiming's Yonggao Cinema Line as an example: due to poor management, in just three years, Yonggao Cinema lost more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and finally had to be dissolved.

Later, no one formed a cinema chain anymore.

Without theaters, how can the film be screened?

Simplicity - when a new film is ready to be released, the distributor of the new film takes the initiative to contact various theaters to form a temporary theater chain (without paying the distribution fee to each theater), and has a planned schedule to screen the film.

Once the film is completed, this temporary cinema chain will be disbanded, and then continue to run their own cinemas, and then set up a temporary cinema chain when a new film is released next time.

What if-

Xu Cun's eight large theaters, plus the four not-so-small theaters of the Anle Cinema Line, and a dozen or so small theaters, then these 20 or 30 theaters can form the largest temporary theater line in Xiangjiang - a temporary theater line that is much larger than the Golden Princess Theater Line.

As long as this temporary theater can be formed, Xu Cun is sure that Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Art City will kneel in front of DreamWorks again and sing conquest!
