On February 12, 1979, the Lantern Festival had just passed.

In the area of the Lion Forest in Ximending, three theaters of Golden Lion, Silver Lion and Baoshi opened at the same time.

These three theaters all belong to multiplex cinemas, especially the Golden Lion Cinema has as many as 10 screening halls. This multiplex model is common in the United States, but in Taiwan. B. 1 is the number one.

The birth of three multiplex cinemas marks the beginning of the Taiwan . The cinema industry in the bay has entered the era of multiplexes.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in the afternoon, and Han Yucheng, the general manager of Wang's Cinema Line, invited many big names and stars in the film and television industry under the banner of Wang Zijun. Huang Hanzhuo, the boss of the First Film Agency, Mei Changling, the general manager of China Television (Mei Changling has become the general manager of China Television since he left China Film Company), Taiwan. Zhou Zhengyan, general manager of Bay TV, Chen Kewang, general manager of Zhonghua TV, Qiong Yao, boss of Superstar Company, Ping Xintao, chairman of Crown Culture Group, Li Feimeng, general manager of Dream World Animation Company, Gu Long, a famous martial arts novelist, etc., as well as a number of stars from Wang's Film Group, came to congratulate.

Among these people, the most eye-catching is James Soong, director of the Information Bureau, who has just been in office for a month.

Huang Hanzhuo was a little surprised, his Ximen Cinema Line used to be a station. The leading boss of the five major cinema chains in Bay, the cinemas of the generation of Ximending, are basically the franchised cinemas of the Ximen Cinema Line. Now that Wang Zijun suddenly intervened and opened three theaters in Ximending, which has always been his territory, he must be unhappy in his heart.

However, Wang's Pictures is no longer something he can fight against, and in the past two years, his first film company can still be on an equal footing with Wang's Pictures, and the two have joined forces and cooperated very happily. However, Wang's Pictures is developing rapidly. Half of the top ten movies on the box office list are produced by Wang, and one or two are produced by the superstar company jointly controlled by Wang Zijun and Qiong Yao.

Platform. The Bay film market has now prospered to its peak, and Huang Hanzhuo's First Pictures is also developing rapidly with this momentum, but it has never been able to catch up with Wang's footsteps.

Huang Hanzhuo even sometimes wonders if Wang Zijun deliberately showed favor to him a few years ago and formed an alliance with him in good faith, is he paralyzing himself?

It is impossible for Huang Hanzhuo to defeat the Wang family head-on in business, but it is impossible to get through the official face, as evidenced by the fact that the director of the Information Bureau, James Soong, personally attended the cutting ceremony of the Golden Lion Cinema. Wang's Pictures fed those who were officials to the fullest, and it was impossible for them to secretly yin the Wang family.

Neither the business road nor the white road can go through, take the black road?

That's even worse.

After Cai Guanlun of the Four Seas Gang joined the army, Chen Qili took the Bamboo Union Gang to defeat Ximending, and the Four Seas Gang could only retreat to the area of Zhongshan South Road in the north of Wanhua District.

Just a few years ago, the Bamboo Union Gang and the Four Seas Gang joined forces to eliminate the four major corner forces in Wanhua District. The Bamboo Union Gang took over the southern part of Wanhua District, and the Four Seas Gang fully controlled the northern part of Wanhua District.

Now the entire Wanhua District is divided into two by two gangs, but Ximending, which has the most oil and water, is still in the hands of the Bamboo Union Gang.

The two gangs are now at peace with each other, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and those bigwigs make a lot of money, so they will not start the war lightly.

Ximending is the whole of Taiwan. The most suitable place to open a cinema in Bay, Wang Zijun and Han Yucheng will naturally not let it go, even if they offend Huang Hanzhuo. At the same time, Ximending is the core site of the Bamboo Union Gang, and from a security point of view, Wang Zijun is also willing to build three high-end multiplex theaters here.

There were many guests outside the Golden Lion Theater, Wang Zijun smiled and said to Han Yucheng: "Old Han, now you can sit on the stage. The top spot of the Bay Cinema Chain. ”

"It's still thanks to Manager Bai." Han Yucheng said modestly.

Bai Muyang said: "I don't dare to take credit, it's because Manager Han has strong work ability." ”

Wang Zijun smiled: "The two of you can compliment each other." ”…,

Han Yucheng is not entirely modest, and now he is in Taiwan. The movies of Wang's Pictures are the best to sell, and the cinemas under Wang's Cinemas can get copies first. In this case, some independent movie theaters have asked to join Wang's Cinema Line.

After several years of development, now Wang's Cinema Line is in Taiwan. There are more than 80 movie theaters wholly owned by the bay, and more than 180 theaters are all joined for profit. In total, Wang's Cinemas is in Taiwan. There are nearly 300 cinemas in the bay, which has surpassed Huang Hanzhuo's Ximen Cinema Line and become the leader of the cinema industry.

300 movie theaters, in fact, are nothing, and now there are only one . There are nearly 600 theaters in the north alone.

In 1979, it was the station. At the peak of the development of film films, in another year or two, there will be a rapid decline in internal and external difficulties.

However, due to the appearance of Wang Zijun, Taiwan. The demise of the movie is unlikely to happen for at least the next five years. Wang's Film Company has now become a station. b. The leader of the film industry, Taiwan. Bay movies are no longer as false prosperity as in another time and space, with a single subject matter and rough quality, which is a fatal flaw, because there is an example of Wang's Film Company, which is not highlighted at this time.

Because Wang's film company has raised the audience's appetite, it is almost impossible to make a lot of money from that kind of rough follow-up film. This situation makes those investors who just want to reach in and take a handful of money and leave a little depressed, the good thing that you can take away millions of dollars by casually investing hundreds of thousands of Taiwan dollars to make literary romance films is gone forever.

The current situation is that you can invest in movies to make money, but you have to be more correct, and you can't fool the audience with shoddy things, otherwise you are likely to lose your wife and lose your soldiers.

Even if the requirements are raised, Taiwan. Investors in the Bay are still happy to do so, and their investment focus is not on scripts and directors, but on popular movie stars. As long as any star becomes popular, they will spend millions of dollars to hire good screenwriters and directors to tailor a good film for these stars.

Actually. The film investors of the Bay have not been short of money, and the funny thing is that in another time and space, their opportunistic shortcuts have accelerated Taiwan. b. The decline of cinema. And the Tai. After the decline of Bay Films and the rise of Hong Kong Films, Taiwan. As soon as they heard that it was the play of a certain Hong Kong actor, they directly threw out tens of millions of checks, creating Hong Kong film classics, and then these Hong Kong films were sold back and in Taiwan. The Bay Film Market has made a lot of money and put the station that has been about to die. b. Movie to strangle to death.

With Wang Zijun, a spoiler, the situation is very different today.

In the past two years, there have been signs of the rise of Hong Kong films, and the revival of Japanese films is also in the bud, but both are far behind. b. The movie is so big.

At this time, the stage. Bay Films, far more prosperous than 1979 in another time and space, has become Asia's number one film production and output base, firmly holding down India's Bollywood. This is not a miracle, in fact, even without Wang Zijun, Bollywood at this time is better than Taiwan. b. Movies aren't much better.

Now the station. b. Films, the main market is oriented to Taiwan. bay mainland, followed by Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia, followed by Japan and South Korea. The Bollywood film market was in India itself, Pakistan and the Soviet Union, and Bollywood did not do much in the United States and Europe at this time.

Hong Kong movies are about to rise, and Wang Zijun doesn't want to suppress them, after all, he has already pumped a lot of blood from Hong Kong movies, and dug up Fa Ge and Cheng Long, and now Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Heping are under his hands.

Wang Zijun's ideal is to create a "Taiwan. The "North-Hong Kong" film base, in which Hong Kong and Taiwan complement each other in all kinds of film and television resources, completely occupy the markets of Southeast Asia and South Korea, and actively encroach on the Japanese film market, and then invade Europe, America, Central Asia, and West Asia. …,

Of course, this is just an idea, as for what can be done, after all, it still depends on the efforts of the Chinese filmmakers themselves, and he Wang Zijun can only play some role in bonding and guiding in secret.

If this "Tai. If the "North-Hong Kong" film base can last until the end of the 90s, then with the backing of the emerging Chinese mainland film market, it is fully capable of defeating Hollywood and Bollywood in Asia.

"Zijun, what do you want? I didn't hear you twice. Liu Zhaoxuan patted Wang Zijun on the shoulder.

Wang Zijun saw that it was Liu Zhaoxuan, and immediately smiled: "Congratulations to Professor Liu on being promoted to director." ”

"Looking for a fight!" Liu Zhaoxuan scolded with a smile.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and when Wang Zijun entered Tsinghua University, it was Liu Zhaoxuan's help. Now Liu Zhaoxuan has stepped down as the chairman of the martial arts association, and he only has a false name. Just last month, as a Taiwan. Liu Zhaoxuan, a professor at Tsinghua University, entered the Executive Yuan and became the director of the Planning and Assessment Division of the "National Science Commission" (which will be upgraded to the Ministry of Science and Technology on New Year's Day 2013).

"Congratulations!" The two were joking, and Qiong Yao and Ping Xintao came over to congratulate Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun also said: "I also congratulate the two! ”

Ping Xintao smiled happily, and the 41-year-old Qiong Yao actually showed a shy expression on her face.

Qiong Yao has been Ping Xintao's underground lover for ten years, and not long ago she finally couldn't bear the pressure and was ready to find a man to marry. Ping Xintao, who learned Qiong Yao's thoughts, couldn't help it, so he had a showdown with his wife. Then the two broke up peacefully, and Ping Xintao would marry Qiong Yao in two months.

Qiong Yao is really a role model for the junior, as a junior, she not only won the favor of Ping Xintao, but also thought about Ping Xintao's wife everywhere, and Ping's wife said that she was a good person. Now, he has squeezed out his wife, who is from a famous family and looks more beautiful than her, and he is glorious.

The bosses of the three TV stations, Mei Changling, Zhou Zhengyan, and Chen Kewang, also entered one after another and happily shook hands with Wang Zijun.

The reporters at the scene, some regular newspaper reporters aimed their cameras at officials and bosses, and some entertainment magazines paid more attention to stars such as Cheng Long, Qin Xianglin, and Chow Yun-fat.

When Han Yucheng saw Song Chuyu's car coming, he immediately called the master of ceremonies to prepare to start the ceremony.

"I won't go up to speak, you can talk to Director Song once." Wang Zijun said to Han Yucheng that his scalp was numb now from a pair of resentful eyes, and a few meters away, Zhao Yazhi was staring at him reproachfully.

Han Yucheng took the stage to make an enthusiastic speech, and then invited the director of the Information Bureau, James Soong, to speak and announced the beginning of the cutting ceremony.

When Song Chuyu spoke, Wang Zijun had already walked in front of Zhao Yazhi and said in a low voice: "Azhi." ”

"Humph!" Zhao Yazhi said dissatisfiedly, "You didn't come to see me for most of the year, you forgot me." ”

"Why, didn't I call you?" Wang Zijun smiled bitterly.

Zhao Yazhi said: "Don't listen to your phone." ”

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, I'm going to spend time with you, okay?" Wang Zijun coaxed.

Zhao Yazhi pouted and said, "I don't believe your words." ”

"Really, I swear," Mr. Wang said, "how about I make a movie just for you?" ”

Zhao Yazhi was overjoyed and said: "No, I want to make a TV series, just like "Shanghai Tang" and "The Legend of the New Hundred Niangzi", and I want you to be the leading actor." ”

The salary of the TV series is obviously not as high as the movie, but with the characteristics of Wang Zijun's TV series, this time must be filmed for a long time, and Zhao Yazhi and Wang Zijun can be together every day.

"Okay." Wang Zijun originally wanted to rest for half a year, but now that Zhao Yazhi has a small temperament, he also knows how to come out and move. "What are you going to shoot?" Zhao Yazhi asked.

As soon as Wang Zijun was about to answer, he heard the master of ceremonies shouting: "Please ask Mr. Wang Zijun, chairman of Wang's Film Group, to ......"...,

Miss Etiquette came up with a tray, Wang Zijun picked up the scissors with red flowers, Song Chuyu and Han Yucheng were beside him, and Mei Changling was also there.

With a "click", the big red flower was caught in the air, and the firecrackers went off.

This was followed by a celebration performance, and the first to sing on stage was Wang Zijun's little sister Xiao Lizhu. Xiao Lizhu has been very popular in the past two years, although it is not as popular as Teresa Teng, Feng Feifei, Zhen Ni and others, but it is not much worse.

The increasing number of passers-by gathered on the periphery forced the police to mobilize police forces again to maintain order, and of course, Wang Zijun would not let these police brothers work in vain.

One by one, the names took the stage, Liu Wenzheng and Gao Lingfeng were on stage. The popular singer who is second only to Wang Zijun in fame has also appeared on the stage, attracting many fans' exclamations.

Liu Wenzheng was as handsome as ever, singing sunny ballads, while Gao Lingfeng was holding a decorative guitar and jumping on stage. That posture is like a frog, so stupid that it makes people squirt, but it can actually cause countless applause, Wang Zijun can only say that the aesthetics of the times are different.

The show lasted two hours, with Mr. Wang dining with a group of officials, bosses and celebrities at a nearby hotel, and three new multiplexes selling tickets, the first of which was Mr. Wang's "The Faces of the Heroes." There are two types of movie tickets, eighty percent are ordinary tickets, and two percent are VIP tickets, and VIP tickets can watch movies in luxury screening halls.

However, today's VIP tickets are a little less, because a special screening room has been opened for guests who come to participate in the cutting ceremony.

There are a lot of people who buy tickets, and some people even come from far away to buy tickets in Ximending to experience the so-called multiplex cinema.

To the surprise of these audiences, the three new theaters actually have an extra window for what membership card. As long as you pay 500 Taiwan dollars, you can register as a VIP member through your ID card, and in the future, if you watch a movie in a movie theater under Wang's Cinema Line, the ticket price will be discounted by 95%, and if you spend a certain amount, you will return the corresponding cash, and get a boutique gift package prepared by Wang's Cinema Line.

For 3,000 Taiwan dollars, you can apply for a supreme membership card, watch movies in the theaters under the Wang Cinema Line, the ticket price will be discounted, and you can give priority to booking tickets by phone, eliminating the pain of queuing up to buy tickets for good films. Of course, if you don't pay for the ticket after booking, the VIP card will be downgraded to a regular membership card and will not be restored until the cash is doubled.

3,000 Taiwan dollars is too expensive, but 500 Taiwan dollars can still be considered, and many people who are obsessed with movies apply for ordinary membership cards on the spot.

Not to mention that the money for applying for a membership card is a large amount of income, once they become members, these people will become loyal customers of Wang's Cinema Line for discounted movie tickets.

This hand is so beautiful, and the other theater owners who learned about the situation were like being enlightened, and they followed Wang's Cinema Line to launch a membership system one after another.

Of course, in 1979, when computers were not popularized, membership management was very troublesome, and a special department had to be set up for statistics and management, which was another management cost.

Among the guests who participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, some of them left after the ceremony because of something, and they didn't even watch the singing and dancing celebration performance.

Mei Changling left, but Huang Hanzhuo didn't leave, and had a few drinks with Wang Zijun in the hotel, and with a little drunkenness, they returned to the Golden Lion Theater to watch a movie.

The window for handling membership aroused Huang Hanzhuo's curiosity, and after Han Yuchengyi's explanation, Huang Hanzhuo's eyes bulged out, and he couldn't wait to go back immediately and let people also get a membership system in his own theater.

Entering the lavish screening room, Wong was impressed by the luxurious décor and comfortable seating, followed by a complimentary snack and drink. These snacks and drinks can be selected from potato chips, popcorn, Coca-Cola, soft drinks and more, as long as you purchase a VIP ticket, these are provided free of charge at the theater. …,

Feeling these careful thoughts, Huang Hanzhuo felt that this Han Yucheng was really a talent, and his understanding of people's hearts was very good, whether it was the membership system or this luxury screening hall, he felt people's greed for cheapness, vanity and other characteristics everywhere.

But when the movie started, the sound effect shook Huang Hanzhuo speechless.

Han Yucheng explained: "The ticket price of this luxury screening hall is twice that of ordinary screening halls, and the sound is all high-end equipment imported from Denmark. ”

"The Face of the Heroes" is already full of graphics, and with this high-end sound, it gives people an immersive feeling, as if the explosion happened in front of them.

"I'm a frog at the bottom of a well!" Huang Hanzhuo looked at the action movies that dumped Hong Kong and Taiwan films ten streets on the screen, coupled with the impact of new theaters on him, he couldn't give birth to a sense of confrontation.

Perhaps, following in the footsteps of Wang's Films, it may be possible to achieve greater achievements. Huang Hanzhuo thought to himself.

Not only Huang Hanzhuo, but everyone who watched the movie in the luxurious screening hall was deeply shocked, and several reporters and film critics excitedly wanted to run back to write articles immediately.

Cheng Long was stunned by "The Face Snatcher", this action movie is too good, if he can star in such a film, he will become an Asian superstar.

Wang Zijun originally asked him to play one of the supporting roles, but later the protagonist was changed, and Cheng Long was replaced. When he was replaced, Cheng Long didn't feel anything, anyway, he only had a supporting role. But now, he's a little unhappy in his heart, how nice it would be if he could appear in this movie.
