As the first cinema chain in Asia, the world cinema line has reached 110 theaters belonging to Ye Sumang alone, of which the five-star cinema occupies more than 50 percent, there are 60 full, with a total of more than 600 screens, which is still because of the modification of the IMAX hall and had to merge some halls, fortunately, 35 of them already have IMAX halls, and the new theaters have already reserved a place, just waiting for the screen and equipment to be in place, And the theater chain now has almost every data in China, and the overall share of nearly 20% of the annual box office in China.

In Ye Sumang's jihua, those below the five-star theater in the 120 theaters will become five-star cinemas in the next three years, and the IMAX screen will continue to expand, and eventually every theater will have such an IMAX hall.

This investment is not small, you must know that so far, Ye Sumang has taken out more than 3 billion yuan of funds for the consumption of these theaters, which is still when Ye Sumang took advantage of the low tide of real estate to grab land, with the help of Chen Jinfei and obtained extremely favorable prices, otherwise it is possible to double this investment, of course, the income brought to him by these theaters is also very considerable.

Not to mention the huge box office dividend profits every year, its influence alone is enough to deserve this investment.

Now the directors and filmmakers in the mainland of China, who dare not give Ye Sumang a little face, and grasp nearly one-fifth of the country's box office, Ye Sumang can be said to completely control the lifeblood of these directors, you must know that a movie suddenly has less than 20% of the box office, think about it, you will feel what a terrible thing.

And this time, the premiere of Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" naturally chose the theater of his own junior brother, even if the real producer Huaying Group itself has a cinema chain.........

"Su Mang, look at your senior brother. ate inside and out, took our Huaying money to make a film, and ran to your world for the premiere, it's really ......" At the premiere ceremony, Han Shanping couldn't stop complaining after sitting next to Ye Sumang, and Chen Kaige on the side just smirked 'hehe'.

"My senior brother is called discerning eyes, you quietly let those broken theaters of your Huaying, I feel shivering when I hold the premiere, or my senior brother is wise and has taken a fancy to my cinema in Mingzhu. Look at this pomp, this atmosphere, tsk. Speaking of zuihou, Ye Sumang smacked his lips with a smug look. Extraordinarily underwhelming.

Although Han Shanping had an angry face, he pointed at Ye Sumang and scolded continuously. But for Ye Su Mang's words. On the contrary, there was a bit of identification in my heart.

For example, this premiere hall can accommodate 1,200 spectators, and the decoration is the best in Shijie, with an elegant environment and comfortable seats, compared with its own theater line. There is really no theater that has the size of this hall.

And Han Shanping also knew that this hall was not the most haode, the super IMAX hall that occupied six floors was the real shocking existence, Han Shanping was fortunate to go inside and watch a short film at the invitation of Ye Sumang. To this day, that shocking scene still remains in my heart.

"Su Mang, I have to say that after watching the IMAX films, I also think that the trend of movies in the future will go in this direction." After chatting for a while, Han Shanping suddenly said seriously.

Ye Sumang nodded, looked at Chen Kaige on the side, and then looked at Han Shanping, and then said: "It's better to act if you are excited, I think Brother Han, it is better for you to make a decision early, otherwise it will be too late to act when the IMAX frenzy really sweeps in." ”

What Ye Sumang was referring to was naturally to let Han Shanping hurry up and decorate the IMAX hall.

Of course, there is naturally Ye Sumang's own careful thinking in it, you must know that "2012" wants to achieve the most haode effect, it must be played in this super hall, I already have thirty-five halls, I believe that after the completion of the movie, this data will also exceed fifty, but it would be better if there were more, you must know that the tickets in this IMAX hall are also 50% more expensive than ordinary movie tickets, this is a naked box office.

Hearing Ye Sumang's persuasion, Han Shanping groaned for a long time, and then seemed to have finally made up his mind and nodded.

"I'll make a report when I go back, Su Mang, you can also help me on the board of directors and analyze the interests of that group of people." After Han Shanping figured it out, he naturally had to pull up Ye Sumang, who had been instigating him.

In this regard, Ye Sumang shrugged his shoulders and nodded directly in agreement.

Huaying is not short of money, not at all, backed by the mountains, what it lacks is not money, but a long-term person, as long as Han Shanping takes the lead, Ye Sumang believes that those masters will definitely follow their hearts.

"I'm a little moved by what you're talking about." At this time, Chen Kaige interjected.

Ye Sumang and Han Shanping discussed just now, and Chen Kaige was also sighing, what is the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave? He now has a deep understanding, listening to the discussion between the two, Chen Kaige feels that he is the front wave that is going to be shot to death on the beach by the back waves, gradually, Chen Kaige is also thinking about whether his shooting style is really outdated, but at least one thing is certain, he really can't keep up with the times on Jishu.

Thinking of this, Chen Kaige sighed, and then asked Ye Sumang: "How about going back and taking me to the IMAX hall to have a look?" ”

"Of course." Ye Sumang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded.

The reason why I was stunned is very simple, although Chen Kaige makes movies with similar big productions like Wuji, but on the whole, it seems to be a blockbuster, but in fact they are all art films with the appearance of blockbusters, and this kind of movie is often an ordinary screen that can fully meet the audience's viewing needs, so at that moment, Ye Sumang didn't understand that Chen Kaige was suddenly interested in IMAX and 3Djishu.

However, looking at Chen Kaige's eager eyes, Ye Sumang seemed to understand a little more, this is a person who is unwilling to be eliminated, he still wants to learn, not to eat the old book, for his senior brother, Ye Sumang is extremely admired, and he really wants to help him find a new way out, so for Chen Kaige's request, Ye Sumang agreed without thinking about it.

During the chat, the time for the official screening also arrived, and as the lights in the hall gradually dimmed, the big screen in front of him gradually lit up. Another 'dream' compiled by the director is about to be shown in front of the audience.

If "Wuji" is still wearing a blockbuster coat that seems to understand what is not understood, then "Mei Lanfang" is completely a literary film.

Although the superstars are gathered, it still can't change the literary and artistic nature of this film, which has been deeply rooted in the bones.

Although he just watched the beginning, Ye Sumang had to admire, this time Chen Kaige really made a lot of preparations, and the scenes of Peking Opera shown in the movie were even interesting to him, an old Kyoto native.

And for Chen Kaige's attainments in art films, Ye Sumang also knows it.

It seems that when there is no picture at the beginning, the shouting of the old Beijing hutongs immediately brings everyone into a kind of artistic conception, and the atmosphere of the pear orchard in the opening chapter also instantly makes people feel a familiar feeling. This is an unconscious admiration for the country's ancient art and culture, even if many people may not understand Peking Opera at all.

Of course, Chen Kaige did not hide the other side of the children of Liyuan, the glamour on the surface and the filth behind it were presented to the audience. Things like those excellent whispers, or Danjiao being raised by some rich uncles who are good at Longyang, are all depicted by Chen Kaige with the camera......

Although Mei Lanfang in the film is a little too yin in the eyes of the current audience. But the masculinity in his bones was also shown by Chen Kaige with his words and deeds. has his own thoughts, and he is not willing to be as committed as ordinary Liyuan children, and the audience can't help but applaud when they see a wonderful moment.

"What's this little actor's name?" When Ye Sumang saw a third, Ye Sumang quietly asked Chen Kaige on the side.

"Yu Shaoqun, a new actor. It used to be from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Yue Troupe, but this time I dug it out and made this movie, how about it? ”

"Good looks." Ye Sumang commented approvingly.

Hearing this, Chen Kaige smiled with satisfaction. was able to get Ye Sumang's affirmation, and obviously showed his vision.

After all, Ye Sumang is a famous gold pointer in the circle, let's take Zhou Wei in the film as an example, originally because of the scandal, it was going downhill, but after being signed by Ye Sumang, she was like a phoenix nirvana, soaring to the sky, and now she is already the top actress in China.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and soon, Zhou Wei also played.

To be honest, Zhou Jing's height and Liming are a bit of a loss, especially when she wants to play the 'Winter Emperor' Meng Xiaodong, who is good at being a good student, but as soon as Zhou Jing appeared, she instantly shocked all the audience at the scene.

A "Dragon and Phoenix", Meng Xiaodong played by Zhou Wei in the play played Anita Mui at dawn, without stage fright at all, but full of aura, the feeling between the eyebrows gives people a kind of solemnity and heaviness.

"It doesn't look like it, but it looks like it." Ye Sumang gave a very pertinent comment, compared with Meng Xiaodong, there is no similarity in the appearance of the two, but this demeanor makes Ye Sumang can't help but think of the predecessor of the pear orchard that the world can never forget seen in those ancient films.

"This girl, it's amazing." At this moment, Chen Kaige on the side couldn't help but praise him.

"Needless to say, recently, the Actors Association, the United Directors Association, the Screenwriters Association and more than 50 media have engaged in a hundred years of China's top ten actresses, isn't Zhou Wei also shortlisted?"

"And this?" When Han Shanping said this, Ye Sumang also asked curiously.

"Ruan Lingyu, Hu Die, Zhou Xuan, Bai Yang, Shangguan Yunzhu, Qin Yi, Lin Qingxia, Gong Li, Maggie Cheung, the remaining one is your family's Zhou Jing." Han Shanping snapped his fingers and counted them out for Ye Sumang one by one.

After listening, Ye Sumang's eyes couldn't help but widen, and then he smiled: "It's a bit exaggerated, Xiao Jing still has a long way to go, and her qualifications are too shallow compared to those seniors." ”

"You, if you get cheap, you'll still sell it." Chen Kaige pointed at Ye Sumang with a smile on the side, and Han Shanping nodded approvingly.

In fact, Zhou Wei was finally selected, in addition to the fact that he has been too popular in recent years, because of the Oscar nomination she once received, as the first actress in China to receive this nomination, even if she did not win the award, she deserves to be remembered by history.

While talking, the plot has a new development.

Japanese invasion, China is in danger, Mei Lanfang was also entangled by the Japanese, although Mei Lanfang is a drama, but her patriotic feelings are worthy of everyone's respect, even if her life is threatened, she still refused the invitation of the Japanese.

"Boss's invitation, I hope you don't refuse." The Japanese officer said solemnly.

But Mei Lanfang just smiled indifferently. He replied, 'I have refused. ”

This sentence surprised the Japanese officer opposite, but Mei Lanfang said it as if it was a matter of course, and it seemed that it should be done.

"I kid you not."

"I always thought that I was doing a good deed, no matter how Huaxia is, at least you, Mei Lanfang is still there!" The officer asked angrily, he liked Mei Lanfang's Peking Opera very much, so he was very puzzled, even if Mei Lanfang risked her life. Even if he terminated his acting career, he was still unwilling to give the Japanese a show.

Faced with such a question, Mei Lanfang looked directly at the Japanese officer, and just asked silently: "Does anyone want to see a soiled Mei Lanfang?" ”

The words are light, but they are sharp!

"Well said......" Ye Sumang's eyes also lit up at this moment. National integrity does not have to be to die how heroic it is to describe, just like Mei Lanfang at this moment. Everything he showed. It's the integrity of a patriot!

The audience at the scene was obviously also mobilized by this plot, and while everyone was worried about Mei Lanfang's situation, they couldn't help but secretly applaud this role.

In the end, the Anti-Japanese War was won, and Mei Lanfang once again appeared on stage, and the story ended here......

In the familiar drumbeat of Peking Opera, Chen Kaige couldn't help but take a deep breath. Looking forward to the reaction of the audience and the media later, one second, no sound, two seconds. There was still no sound, until Chen Kaige couldn't help but look back anxiously, and suddenly a crisp applause beside him gradually took it, and then it was like throwing himself into the sparks of the dry grassland, which instantly caused a warm applause like a fire.

"What to worry about, great movie!" Ye Sumang was the first to applaud, after watching the whole film, Ye Sumang was really brought into the artistic conception of the film by Chen Kaige, it can be said that in this regard, Chen Kaige's master title is well deserved.

"Lao Chen, it's a good shot." Han Shanping had already seen it once, but when he watched it again, his heart was still touched again.

Looking at the media and audience who stood up and applauded, Chen Kaige's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't help but thank him while clapping his hands: "Xiexie everyone, Xiexie everyone." ”

received warm applause from the audience, and Chen Kaige actually had a feeling that he had not seen for a long time.

Although a long time has passed since the cold scene of "Wuji" that year, Chen Kaige still remembers it vividly, and the earth-shaking treatment at this moment made this long-time big brother in the film industry can't help but burst into tears.

What you lose, after all, you have to rely on your own hands to get it back, and Chen Kaige has undoubtedly done it.

Early the next morning, sure enough, many media published praise for "Mei Lanfang", a film that will integrate history and wild history, and show Mei Lanfang's life in a very legendary color, and the surreal shooting technique is also worth thinking about what the movie brings to people.

And many film critics also gave pertinent comments to this film, calling it a rare art film in modern times.

At the box office, Mei Lanfang did not live up to her reputation, although this is a pure art film, it is still about the ancient art of Peking Opera, but there are still many people pouring into the theater.

And there's a little bit of a hiccup in between.

After the film was officially released the next day, Ye Sumang deliberately vacated a hall for all employees to watch the movie, and then took photos and posted them on his Facebook.

"Senior brother, Bao Cinema supports you! Good Movie !! PS: I really spent money on tickets, and I definitely didn't steal the box office :-D! The witty and humorous tone and atmospheric handwriting immediately caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

Many fans chanted Ye Sumang as 'a good junior brother in China', and some people calculated that the hall could accommodate 600 people, and the price of Mei Lanfang's movie ticket was 35 yuan, so it can be said that Ye Sumang's stroke directly contributed 20,000 yuan to Mei Lanfang's box office.

Coincidentally, Han Shanping, who was basically not on Facebook the next day, also made a rare update.

And the photo is very similar to Ye Sumang's, it is also in a hall, which is full of people, and the text accompanying this message also makes everyone understand everything.

"The Huaying viewing group arrived, I remember that this is the Gome Cinema Line, not the World Cinema Line, and PS: I didn't steal the box office!"

hahahaha......ha

The language is simply an echo of Ye Sumang's message in front of him, especially the word about stealing the box office is even more amusing to everyone, you must know that your own theater and your own film, stealing the box office is simply loading money from the left pocket to the right pocket, it is simply a redundant thing, but being ridiculed by Han Shanping made everyone can't help but be happy.

And this move seems to have become a trend, in the following week, it seems that because of Ye Sumang's beginning, many insiders will post a photo on their Facebook, basically all of them are chartered to support Chen Kaige, although the venue is big and small, but it is this intention that is moving.

Some people found that a large part of these people have some relationship with Ye Sumang, such as Cai Yinong of the Tang Dynasty, or Liu Dehua from Hong Kong, Jacky Cheung, etc., at the moment of witnessing Mei Lanfang's hot screening, many people also saw Ye Sumang's terrifying appeal.

And under this momentum, the box office in the first week really surprised Chen Kaige, the box office data of 68 million is already a very amazing amount of data for the pure literary film "Mei Lanfang", it can be expected that this film breaking 100 million is not a problem at all, and even Han Shanping has prepared a celebration banquet to congratulate the film on its big hit.

At this moment, Ye Sumang is already in Taipei, and the annual Golden Horse Awards will be held again...... (To be continued......)
