Actually,

Deep down, Shao Yifu prefers to sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas to Debao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the price given by Pandey is too far from the price that Shao Yifu expected!

So how about leasing Shaw Brothers Cinemas to Pandee-sung?

No, it doesn't.

First of all, the rental price given by Pan Disheng is too far from the rental price that Shao Yifu is expecting!

Secondly, at this stage, if it were not for the support of several pro-British enterprises and groups, TVB would have to lose nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars every month. The negotiations between China and Britain have been completed, and Shao Yifu, who is unwilling to stay away from Xiangjiang, is bound to repair relations with the mainland. As a result, those pro-British companies and groups will inevitably not continue to support TVB. Therefore, Shao Yifu must prepare enough funds for TVB to lose money before expressing his political position.

Again, due to TVB's repeated setbacks, most of the shareholders who originally expected TVB to make a lot of money from its listing lost confidence in TVB, so that Shao Yifu took over the shares of many other shareholders, which made Shao Yifu grasp more TVB shares at the same time, but also made Shao Yifu's hands tighter.

Therefore, it is impossible for Shao Yifu to lease the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line to Pan Disheng.

In addition, because Shao Yifu has always been reluctant to let go of the price of renting and selling Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and because Xu Cun has issued a ban on Debao, Debao has to take the road of self-sufficiency, and most importantly, because Xu Cun and Yang Ziqiong, the two dog men and women, actually went on vacation together! So, Pan Disheng, who felt that he was cuckolded by Xu Cun, was angry, so Cen Jianxun bought four medium-sized theaters with good locations, and asked Cen Jianxun to buy two pieces of land with good locations to build multiplexes by himself. In other words, Pan Desheng, who will soon have six cinemas and movie theaters, is not as enthusiastic about Shaw Brothers Cinemas as before.

Therefore, although Shao Yifu hoped that Pan Disheng would take over the Shaw Brothers Cinemas in the end, Shao Yifu could only choose to sell the Shaw Brothers Cinemas to Xu Cun in the end.

But-

Because Pan Disheng was not as enthusiastic about Shaw Brothers as before, the advantages and disadvantages between DreamWorks and Shaw Brothers were immediately reversed.

Let's start with Shaw Brothers.

First of all, Shaw Brothers Cinemas has been losing money every day since the beginning of last year, and if it weren't for Yongsheng, Debao and other small and medium-sized film companies renting Shaw Brothers Cinemas from time to time to distribute their own films, Shaw Brothers Cinemas would have closed its doors long ago.

Secondly, if Shaw Brothers Cinemas does not find a home for a day, Shaw Brothers Pictures cannot stop production for a day, and Shaw Brothers Pictures cannot stop production for a day, and Shaw Brothers Pictures, which is based on the big studio system, has to pay salaries to those employees who cannot create benefits for Shaw Brothers (the vast majority of Shaw Brothers Pictures personnel are paid monthly or even annual salaries), and this part of the loss is even higher than the loss of Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

Again, Shaw Brothers Pictures does not stop production for a day, and an industry as big as Shaw Brothers Cinemas has to be placed there, and it cannot create any income for Shaw Yifu.

Let's talk about DreamWorks.

Although the bandit model of the Freedom Cinema Line, a loose alliance that combines profits and divides profits, has great limitations, just the combination of DreamWorks Cinemas and Anle Cinemas can form a cinema chain that is not much worse than Golden Harvest Cinemas.

In addition, DreamWorks Cinemas also has the staunch ally of Shuangnan Cinemas.

Therefore, on the surface, Xu Cun is not in a hurry to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

Of course, this is only scratching the surface.

Today, the total number of cinemas and cinemas in Hong Kong has reached 133, which is nearly one-third less than the total number of 180 cinemas in 1969.

In 1969, the economy of Hong Kong was still underdeveloped, not to mention the New Territories, and even the Kowloon area and Hong Kong Island were many undeveloped rural areas. Therefore, most of the so-called 180 theaters were open-air theaters, neighborhood theaters and village theaters.

Today, about 80 of the 133 cinemas in Xiangjiang have more than 500 seats, and the number of seats in the newly built multiplex cinemas in recent years has basically exceeded 1,000.

At present, the current situation of the Hong Kong film market is that there are too many film companies, the audience base is limited, and the distribution of movie theaters is too dense -- in some better areas, there are four or five cinemas and movie theaters on the same street, and they are competing for the audience.

In this case, there will inevitably be a situation where the law of the jungle will be the strongest, and the market will eliminate redundant theaters and cinemas.

Although the equipment of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is seriously aging and the decoration is seriously out of step with the times, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is the cinema chain that has existed for the longest time in Xiangjiang and is also the cinema chain with the best overall location. As long as Xu Cunneng buys the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and then renovates the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line and replaces the equipment. With the superior geographical location of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, the reputation of Shaw Brothers accumulated for decades, and the consistently good movies of DreamWorks, the cinemas under Shaw Brothers Cinemas will not be afraid of any competition or challenge!

Besides, Shuangnan Cinema Line is only an ally after all, and there is still competition with DreamWorks in the mainland market, not to mention Shuangnan Cinema Line, even the Jiang family brothers' Anle Cinema Line is only an ally, and the theaters and cinemas of allies can never have their own cinemas and cinemas that can be relied on!

The most important thing is that this year is the beginning of the golden decade of Xiangjiang films, and DreamWorks is very radical this year - in Xiangjiang City, DreamWorks has invested in big productions such as "Zhu Xian", "Mr. Zombie 3", "Royal Sister 4", and also invested in Gao Zhisen's "Happy Ghost 3", Wang Jing's "Frog Prince", Yu Rendai's "Aura Forceful" and other small and medium-sized productions. In Hollywood, DreamWorks has invested in mega productions such as "The Terminator", "The Little Mermaid", "Ghostbusters", "Little Monsters", and "Out of Africa". According to preliminary estimates, the total production cost of the films that DreamWorks has invested in this year is more than $120 million.

Although the box office market in Hong Kong is small, the box office in Hong Kong is an important basis for distributors in other regions to purchase Hong Kong films.

Therefore, Xu Cun naturally wants to create a DreamWorks theater line that is firmly in his own hands and does not affect the performance of any movies!

Therefore, on the surface, Xu Cun, who seems not to be in a hurry to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas, is actually eager to include Shaw Brothers Cinemas under DreamWorks Cinemas!

One is in a hurry, the other is in a dark hurry, and Debao's-stirring stick is not as keen as before, and the negotiations between Xian Feiran and Fang Yihua are of course very smooth - during the period when Xu Cun's family is on vacation, the price of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line has dropped from 340 million Hong Kong dollars to 290 million Hong Kong dollars.

At present, just wait for Xu Cun to return from vacation and meet and talk with Shao Yifu, an old enemy who has been entangled with Xu Cun for five or six years, and then set the final price of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line can change from the Shao family to the Xu family.
