"Multiplex cinema construction?" Lei Jiankun looked at Chen Yongren in surprise.

"That's right......"; Chen Yongren smiled at Lei Jiankun and said: "Mr. Lei, whether it is a large movie theater with more than 1,000 seats or a small movie theater with only 100 seats, unless a few days before the release of a new movie, the attendance rate will decline day by day over time, so that many vacant seats will cause a waste of resources, in fact, these are ...... that can be avoided."

The idea of a multiplex cinema was born to Chen Yongren very early, but he never had the opportunity to implement it; He doesn't have a cinema chain in his hands, and the impact of multiple or single cinema halls on him is limited, so he can only get a share of the film producer, and the revenue from the cinema does not belong to him, so he can't lick his face to give benefits to others.

But after the premiere of "Die Hard", Lei Jiankun's reaction made a new change in his original thinking.

Sooner or later, the scale of Legendary Pictures will expand, it is impossible for Chen Yongren to make movies alone, and there will always be multiple films produced at the same time in the future, so even if Princess Jin is not his own theater now, it is still necessary to build a multiplex theater.

The most important thing is that in Chen Yongren's plan, the Golden Princess Cinema Line will belong to him sooner or later, rather than doing troublesome things in the future, it is better to let Lei Jiankun build the house first and move in directly.

Lei Jiankun listened to Chen Yongren's detailed overview, and the surprise in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and his eyes lit up, "In this way, as long as the film source is sufficient and the scheduling is reasonable, the operating profit of the theater chain can increase several times......."

"According to the geographical conditions and audience groups, some popular movie theaters can be retained, and other movie theaters will be rebuilt with movie halls as units, which will be divided into three levels, and the number of screenings can be adjusted at any time according to the attendance rate of different movies to ensure that the interests of the movie theater are maximized." Chen Yongren added.

Lei Jiankun nodded, suddenly smiled meaningfully, and asked Chen Yongren: "You only came up with this idea last night?" ”。

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "The current Christmas files have been tested by the market, and if the schedule is extended and diverted, it will actually have an impact on both movies; And Mr. Lei saw the situation last night, he must know it in his eyes, I don't want to have unnecessary misunderstandings with Mr. Mai and them, Mr. Lei, you are not easy to get along with in the middle, so after some exhaustion last night, I finally came up with such a way to get the best of both worlds! ”。

Lei Jiankun nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Now with your words, Princess Jin will have four stable film sources, and your senior brother Li Xiuxian has also asked me to support him in setting up a production company, in that case, I can expand the theater chain again, and it is bound to make Princess Jin a well-deserved leader in the Hong Kong film industry!" ”。

Chen Yongren's heart moved, and he smiled at Lei Jiankun: "Mr. Lei, there is something I think you should consider ......."

"What's the matter?" Lei Jiankun asked curiously.

"Acquisition of Shaw Cinemas ......".

Lei Jiankun was surprised and surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "How did you have this idea?" ”。

After that, without waiting for Chen Yongren to answer, Lei Jiankun continued: "There are some situations that you probably don't know much about, Wei Yifu has already had a verbal agreement with Pang Disheng, and when the shutdown work of the Shan family is completed next year, the Shan Cinema Line will be leased to Debao, and the Shan family has fallen to the current field, and there is also a part of the 'credit' of our Golden Princess and Jiahe, and the sixth child will not be cheap for me!" Not to mention ......".

"Seeing that the sixth child only rents and does not sell Pang Disheng, and now the Hong Kong film industry is gradually booming, it can be seen that he is not old and confused, and it is completely impossible to acquire his theater chain!" Lei Jiankun said with a smile.

Chen Yongren had a faint smile on his face from beginning to end, and he knew very well everything Lei Jiankun said in his heart that Wei Yifu started with movies, and of course he would not give up movies.

Many men have a kind of "virgin" plot whether it is love or career, they attach great importance to their first time, even if they experience failure for some unavoidable reasons, but if they have the opportunity, they will definitely find a way to make up for their regrets and ensure that they have a perfect ending for the first time.

A few years later, he re-entered the film industry and produced many classic films such as "Night of the Soul", "King of Destruction", "Las Vegas Tycoon" series, among which Dong Qifeng and Zou Xingchi's "Judge of the Dead" even won the annual box office championship and set a new box office record in the Hong Kong film industry.

The Ting Cinema Line that Chen Yongren wanted Lei Jiankun to acquire was more than 100 cinemas established by the four Ting brothers in Southeast Asia, North America and other overseas regions in the early years, and the cinema lease of Pang Disheng by Tsip Yifu was limited to Hong Kong and Taiwan; He has specifically investigated that the cinemas in overseas regions used to be maintained by high-yield films under the large-scale studio system of the company's pictures.

Since the reduction of production, the profitability of cinemas in overseas regions has been decreasing day by day, not to mention that they all live on the earth, and people's appreciation has increased simultaneously.

The company is not a company alone, but a family business belonging to the founders of the year, the four brothers, but the owner is in charge, so he is directly responsible for the industries in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, while some industries in overseas areas are controlled by other people in the family.

For example, the cinema chain in Southeast Asia was originally held by the third brother of Yi Yifu, until a few years ago, after Shao Weiming, the son of Yi Yifu, broke with his son Yi Yifu because Fang Yihua was his uncrowned stepmother, he returned to the third uncle who raised him in Singapore and took over the cinema line in Southeast Asia.

After Chen Yongren asked someone to conduct an investigation, he found a very interesting thing; Perhaps because of the relationship between father and son, Wei Weiming is not very interested in his film and television-related industries, but is keen on real estate and other industries, especially after the production reduction of the company, the source of films has gradually become insufficient, and he has the intention of getting rid of Nanyang Cinemas.

In such a situation, Chen Yongren really wants to get involved, but now he has limited net worth, so he can only sit in Hong Kong and stare and salivate, but Lei Jiankun definitely has strength, especially now, the relationship between the father and son is estranged, from the perspective of human behavior and psychology, no matter how close the relationship is, once the relationship between people is estranged, the possibility of going against each other will be greatly increased, which gives Lei Jiankun hope.

Lei Jiankun was greatly moved by Chen Yongren's thoughts, and at the same time surprised by the latter's vision and thinking, he pondered and hesitated: "But now to build a multiplex cinema, expanding the cinema chain in Hong Kong is already a big financial burden, and we already have a distribution network in overseas regions, if the acquisition of Nanyang Cinema Line of the Tai family is not successful, once the news spreads, it may cause dissatisfaction ...... partners."

"Mr. Lei, I think you should understand a truth, what is in your hands is the most assured; And...... If you don't master your overseas distribution capabilities now, it's too late to regret it in a few years! Chen Yongren said seriously.

"What do you mean by that?" Lei Jiankun was surprised when he heard this.

"I don't know what Mr. Lui thinks about Hong Kong movies now?" Chen Yongren suddenly asked.

Lei Jiankun didn't know what he meant, but after repeated encounters, he was deeply convinced of Chen Yongren's ability, and he attached great importance to the latter's opinion, knowing that since the other party was serious, he must have a certain deep meaning, so he replied: "This is well known, and some people even claim that Hong Kong films have entered a golden age!" ”。

"That's right!"; Chen Yongren agreed and sighed: "But everything is negative yin and yang, everything has two sides, I wonder if Mr. Lei agrees with this point of view?" ”。

Lei Jiankun nodded slightly when he heard this, and agreed: "You continue to say ......."
